REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
==> picture [296 x 169] intentionally omitted <==
(a) Pardoo Nickel Project
The Company entered into a Farmin Agreement with Segue Resources giving the Company the right to earn up to an initial 70% interest in the nickel and noniron ore mineral rights in the Pardoo Project located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia by meeting expenditure of at least $10 million within 5 years.
The Pardoo Project consists of four granted exploration licenses; E45/1866, E45/2146,
E45/3383 and E45/3464, in the Pilbara Mineral Field. These tenements cover approximately 161.2 km2.
The Pardoo Project straddles the boundary between the East Pilbara Granite-Greenstone Terrane and the Central Pilbara Tectonic Zone, marked in this region by the Pardoo fault, which is part of the De Grey Structural Zone. The east-northeast trending Pardoo Fault separates the Ord greenstone belt in the north from the Goldsworthy greenstone belt in the south. The project is centred on the northern, faulted limb of the Goldsworthy Syncline (Figure 2).

==> picture [441 x 249] intentionally omitted <==
The mineralisation at the Highway deposited is hosted within a schist package, comprising biotite, chlorite, quartz, feldspar and carbonate schists. Chert lithologies occur above and below the schist and consist of grey, white and translucent banded and some brecciated chert. Above the chert-schist units the stratigraphy comprises fine grained mafic amphibole-biotite-chlorite schist, with accessory carbonate, magnetite and ilmenite.
Subsequent to year end the Company has renegotiated the Farmin Agreement with Segue Resources. The Company now has the right to earn up to an initial 50% (previously 70%) interest in the nickel and non-iron ore mineral rights.
(b) Yellowstone Copper Project – Central Kazakhstan
The Company entered into a legally binding Memorandum of Understanding to potentially acquire up to a 70% shareholding in Kazakhstan based company, ULY-TAU K Limited Liability Partnership (“ UTK ”), owner of the substantial Tesiktasskoye Copper project near Balkash in Central Kazakhstan (“ Yellowstone” ).
Subsequent to year end the Company has been unable to satisfy the terms of the acquisition agreement and has agreed to provide UTK access to all technical reports and physical assets funded by Red October during the due diligence process in exchange for a refund of the estimated costs of $350,000 USD. This amount is to become payable to Red October on the sale of Yellowstone to another party.

(c) Akjilga Silver Project – Tajikistan
In June 2011 the Company made a successful bid of US$12 million for the Akjilga Silver Project in Tajikistan, owned by Kazakhmys PLC (LON: KAZ), a FTSE 100 Company listed on the London Stock Exchange (the “Project”). Red October funded the initial US$2 million deposit through existing cash reserves as it was unable to conduct a capital raising due to market conditions. Given the scale of the Project, it was Red October’s intention to spin it out into a new listing or vend the Project directly into another listed entity.
Subsequent to year end the Company received a Notice of Breach of Contract from the vendors and having been unable to meet the contract requirements have reached a settlement agreement releasing each other from any and all conceivable claims.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
During the Period the following significant events took place:
-
On 21 October 2011 Mr Ross Smith resigned as Non-Executive Director
-
On 21 October 2011 Mr Ross Nairn resigned as Non-Executive Director
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE PERIOD
(a) Variation of Farmin Agreement with Segue Resources Limited
The Company entered into a Farmin Agreement with Segue Resources Limited on 17 December 2010 giving it the right to earn up to an initial 70% interest in the nickel and non-iron ore mineral rights associated with the Pardoo Project (“Project”) in three stages:
-
(i) A 30% interest can be earned by spending a minimum amount of $2.0m within 3 years from the Commencement Date including a minimum spend of $1.5m, or such other amount greater than $1.5m as required to satisfy the ASX Listing Rules, within 2 years of the Commencement Date; and
-
(ii) Once a 30% interest is earned then a further 20% (to a total of 50%) interest can be earned by spending a minimum total of $5.0m within 4 years from the Commencement Date; and
-
(iii) Once a 50% interest is earned then a further 20% interest (to a total of 70%) can be earned by spending a minimum total amount of $10m within 5 years from the Commencement Date.
On 10 April 2012 both parties agreed to vary the agreement such that:
-
(i) a 30% interest can be earned by spending a minimum amount of $1.0 million on the Project within 2 years from the date of re-instatement of the Company to trading on the ASX (“Commencement Date”) with a minimum spend of $250,000 on the Project by the earlier of 6 months from the Commencement Date or 31 December 2012; and
-
(ii) once a 30% interest is earned then a further 20% (to a total of 50%) interest in the Project can be earned by spending a further minimum total amount of $2.0m on the Project within 4 years from the Commencement Date.
In consideration for agreeing to the variation the Company will issue to Segue Resources Limited 11,250,000 shares in the Company, subject to shareholder approval.

(b) Akjilga Silver Project - Tajikistan
On 10 June 2011 Red October signed an agreement (“Share Sale Agreement”) to purchase the Akjilga Silver Project in Tajikistan for USD$12m via the purchase of 100% of the share capital of CA Mineral LLP from Kazakhmys PLC (LON: KAZ), a FTSE 100 Company listed on the London Stock Exchange. An initial USD$2m deposit was paid with the USD$10m balance due by 1 October 2011.
Due to market conditions, Red October was unable to raise sufficient funds to pay the remaining balance and received a Notice of Breach of Contract from the vendors. On 5 April 2012 the Company signed a settlement agreement with the vendors releasing all parties to the Share Sale Agreement from any and all conceivable claims.
In consideration for the Company assigning all its rights, title and interest in the right to receive a cash payment of US$350,000 from UTK upon a sale of Yellowstone together with the payment of US$100,000 in cash to the vendors, the vendors agree that any claim that it may have against the Company in relation to the Share Sale Agreement has been settled in full.
(c) Convertible Note Funding
On 10 April 2012 the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Hemisphere Corporate Services Pty Ltd to provide the Company with funding of $600,000 via an unsecured convertible note issue. The notes will convert to ordinary shares in the Company at $0.005 subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval.
The notes will have a 6 month term and accrue interest at a rate of 9.25% with interest payable on the date of repayment or convertible to shares at the conversion price of $0.005.
Except for the events discussed above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2011 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:
-
(i) the Group’s operations in future financial years, or
-
(ii) the results of those operations in future financial years, or
-
(iii) the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR REPORT
This consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2011 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .
This consolidated 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 2011 and any public announcements made by Red October Resources 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.
(a) 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 period the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,039,960 and incurred net cash outflows from operating and financing activities of $1,144,837.
The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on the consolidated entity being able to raise additional funds as required upon successful reinstatement to meet ongoing exploration commitments and for working capital. The Directors believe that they will be able to raise additional capital as required upon reinstatement and are in the process of evaluating the consolidated entity’s cash requirements.
The Directors believe that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern. As a result the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. However should the consolidated entity be unsuccessful in undertaking additional raisings or being reinstated the consolidated entity may not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.
(b) Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the entity
AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption. When adopted, the standard will affect in particular the group’s accounting for its available-for-sale financial assets, since AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. Fair value gains and losses on available-forsale debt instruments will therefore have to be recognized directly in profit or loss.
There will be no impact on the group’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the group does not have such liabilities. The de-recognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed. The group has not yet decided when to adopt AASB 9.

Due to market conditions, Red October was unable to raise sufficient funds to pay the remaining balance and received a Notice of Breach of Contract from the vendors. On 5 April 2012 the Company signed a settlement agreement with the vendors releasing all parties to the Share Sale Agreement from any and all conceivable claims.
In consideration for the Company assigning all its rights, title and interest in the right to receive a cash payment of US$350,000 from UTK upon a sale of Yellowstone together with the payment of US$100,000 in cash to the vendors, the vendors agree that any claim that it may have against the Company in relation to the Share Sale Agreement has been settled in full.
(c) Convertible Note Funding
On 10 April 2012 the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Hemisphere Corporate Services Pty Ltd to provide the Company with funding of $600,000 via an unsecured convertible note issue. The notes will convert to ordinary shares in the Company at $0.005 subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval.
The notes will have a 6 month term and accrue interest at a rate of 9.25% with interest payable on the date of repayment or convertible to shares at the conversion price of $0.005.
Except for the events discussed above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2011 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:
-
(iv) the Group’s operations in future financial years, or
-
(v) the results of those operations in future financial years, or
-
(vi) the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RED OCTOBER RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Red October Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of 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 halfyear’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 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 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 half-year 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 2011 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 Red October 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. 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 Red October Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Red October Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Emphasis of Matter
Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 (a) in the half-year financial report which indicates that Red October Resources Limited incurred a net loss of $ 1,039,960 and incurred net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $1,144,837 during the half-year ended 31 December 2011. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1 (a), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which 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.
