EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE HALF YEAR

On 4 January 2016, the Company announced that the ASX had granted the Company an extension within which to obtain reinstatement to trading of the Company’s securities on the ASX to 24 March 2016.

If Eastern Goldfields’ securities are not reinstated to trading by 24 March 2016, the Company will be automatically removed from the official list of the ASX.

On 29 February 2016, Eastern Goldfields announced that its offer to raise a minimum of $6 million and a maximum of $20 million with the ability to accept oversubscriptions for an additional $5 million, in each case before costs, pursuant to the Prospectus dated 24 December 2015 (Offer), has closed oversubscribed following excellent investor support for the Company.

The Company has received commitments for a total of $25,000,000 (before costs) after accepting applications for 166,666,667 shares at $0.15 per share. The Offer, which was managed by Hartleys Limited, was well supported by domestic and international institutional and sophisticated investor clients of Hartleys Limited, and by a number of other institutional and professional investors.

In accordance with the terms of the Offer, the Company expects to issue approximately $15 million of shares under the Offer on Monday, 29 February 2016, and the remainder of the shares as soon as practicable following receipt of shareholder approval at the 2015 annual general meeting held on 16 March 2016. Given the strong investor demand, the Board will determine the allocation process in respect of oversubscriptions in excess of $25,000,000 after the settlement of the first tranche and prior to settlement of the second tranche.

On 8 March 2016, the Company issued 100,000,000 shares at $0.15 per share, raising $15,000,000 pursuant to the Prospectus dated 24 December 2015.

On 8 March 2016, the Company also issued 212,371,417 shares in settlement of loans, interests’ component of loans and in lieu of fees relating to the Resolutions approved by shareholders on 30 December 2015.

EASTERN GOLDFIELDS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF YEAR REPORT

This general purpose condensed financial report for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2015 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 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 and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Consolidated Entity as an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2015 and any public announcements made by Eastern Goldfields Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Eastern Goldfields Limited is a for profit company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded. The principal activity of the Group during the half year was mineral exploration and evaluation, and care and maintenance of the Davyhurst Gold Project and the Mt Ida Gold Project.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 21 March 2016. The financial report is presented in the Australian currency (AUD).

Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards:

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

The Group has reviewed all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after from 1 July 2015.

It has been determined by the company that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to company accounting policies.

Going Concern

As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $43,007,230 and the group’s Shareholders’ deficit totalled $44,091,169. The Consolidated Entity recorded a loss of $4,794,660 for the half year ended 31 December 2015.

On 8 March 2016, the Company issued 100,000,000 shares at $0.15 per share, raising $15,000,000 pursuant to the Prospectus dated 24 December 2015.

Half-year financial report to the members of Eastern Goldfields Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Eastern Goldfields Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, 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 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 half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ responsibility for the 31 December 2015 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 consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Eastern Goldfields Limited and the entities it controlled during the period, 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 have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.

Basis for qualified review conclusion

Carrying value of property, plant and equipment

Included in the 31 December 2015 property, plant and equipment balance is an amount of $3,000,000 relating to the Davyhurst processing plant, which is currently under care and maintenance.

A valuation of the Davyhurst processing plant was last undertaken in December 2013 and no further valuations have been undertaken since that time.

As at the date of our review, we have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate review evidence to support the recoverability of the Davyhurst processing plant. Consequently, we are unable to determine whether any adjustment to the carrying value of the Davyhurst processing plant is necessary.

Carrying value of the rehabilitation provision

Included in the 31 December 2015 non-current provision balance is an amount of $4,148,100 for the future rehabilitation obligations for the Davyhurst mine. Management is currently undertaking a detailed review of the consolidated entity’s future rehabilitation obligations in relation to the Davyhurst mine.

As at the date of our review, we have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate review evidence to support the carrying value of the rehabilitation provision. Consequently, we are unable to determine whether any adjustment to the carrying value of the rehabilitation provision is necessary.

Qualified review conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, except for the effects of the matters described in the Basis for qualified review conclusion paragraph, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Eastern Goldfields 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 2015 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date

• b. complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
