DIRECTORS’ REPORT

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

SALE OF MANICA GOLD PROJECT

During the Reporting Period, the Company advised it has entered into a binding agreement to sell 100% of the Manica Mining Concession 3990C ( Project ) to AIM-listed Xtract Resources plc ( Xtract or XTR ) in a combination of cash and equity in Xtract.

About Xtract

Xtract Resources plc is a gold and copper exploration development company with projects in Chile and South Africa with a current market capitalisation of approximately A$45 million (£22 million) and is well funded. Xtract aims to become a mid-tier gold and copper producer with a focus on low cost, high margin shallow/surface deposits. Xtract’s Chairman Mr Colin Bird and CEO Mr Jan Nelson have a long history of involvement in the Manica Mining Concession having initially acquired the Manica Gold Project whilst at Pan African Resources plc in 2006. Mr Nelson is also a former Director of the Company.

Material Terms of Share Sale and Purchase Agreement

Auroch entered into a binding share sale and purchase agreement for the sale of Project to Xtract which was revised subsequent to the reporting period ( Agreement ).

Under the Agreement the total consideration payable is US$10.0 million and is attributable to the sale of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiary, Mistral Resource Development Corporation ( Mistral ) and the transfer of the Company’s direct 2% shareholding in Explorator Limitada ( Explorator ) to Xtract.

The Company and Xtract have agreed that the allocation of the aggregate consideration price of US$10.0 million is comprised of:

US$5.8 million for the acquisition of Manica Mining Concession 3990C;
US$4.0 million in respect of all Mining Information relating to the Mining Concession; and
US$200,000 in respect to the transfer of the Company’s 2% shareholding in Explorator to Xtract.

Breakdown and Timing of Transaction Payments

In respect of the sale of 100% of Mistral:

US$500,000 upon executing the revised agreement;
US$3.5 million in cash payable at completion;
US$1.8 million in cash three months post completion;
Issue of 1,032,258,065 new XTR ordinary shares at Completion representing approximately 11% of the issued capital of XTR ( Consideration Shares ). The Consideration Shares will be issued at a deemed price of £0.25 pence per Share (being equivalent to US$0.003875 per ordinary share at an exchange rate of £1.00 = US$1.55) and escrowed for 3 months from issue;

In respect of the transfer of the 2% shareholding in Explorator:

US$200,000 in cash.

The revision to the consideration payable was borne out of Xtract’s need to provide certainty to its shareholders around dilution relating to the issue of Consideration Shares and to reflect changing and volatile market conditions. The original

AUROCH MINERALS NL DIRECTORS’ REPORT

share sale agreement determined the number of consideration shares by a formula with no floor price. This new arrangement provides certainty to all parties.

Effective from 1 June 2015, Xtract has assumed operational control of Mistral Development Corporation and, thus the Manica Gold Project. As such, Xtract has assumed responsibility for remaining project creditors up to US$1.0 million (in addition to the US$500,000 forwarded by Xtract to the Company subsequent to the reporting period) and also any tax payable in Mozambique in respect of the transaction up to US$1.25 million. Should the tax payable be in excess of this amount, then Auroch will be responsible for paying the excess. Should the tax be less than US$750,000, then Auroch will be refunded the difference.

Conditions Precedent to Completion

The Agreement is conditional upon Auroch obtaining prior consent of the Government of Mozambique through the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy to the extent required under the Mozambique Mining Act and other applicable laws relating to the change of control of the Company’s subsidiary and communicating such change of control to the Mozambican mining authorities. Completion of the Agreement is also subject to Auroch obtaining shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 11.2 for the sale of the Manica Mining Concession and Xtract obtaining approval for the admission of the Consideration Shares to trading on AIM.

Statements of Voting Intention

Several major shareholders including the Chairman, have advised the Company that they intend to vote in favour of the Agreement at a shareholders’ meeting to approve the disposal.

OPERATIONS - MANICA GOLD PROJECT

Preliminary Economic Assessment Delivers Excellent Results at the Fair Bride Deposit

During the reporting period, the Company announced positive results from a Preliminary Economic Assessment (the PEA ) on the Fair Bride Gold Project (the Project ) ( Figure 1 ). The PEA has confirmed the technical and robust economic viability of the Project and is based on the following assumptions:

Open Pit mining of oxide, transitional and sulphide ores will run for five years and have a stripping ratio averaging 8:1 waste to ore (inclusive of low grade ore);
High-grade shoots beneath the open pit will be accessed from underground via two declines, initially a 20m crown pillar will be left which will be extracted at the end of the underground operation;
Oxides and transitional ores will utilise a simple process route of primary milling and Carbon in Leach ( CIL );
As mining progresses into the sulphide ore, these ores will be processed with a flotation circuit with a concentrate re-grind followed by CIL for the sulphides;
The diluted head grades and gold recoveries modelled in the PEA are:
Oxide ore 2.53g/t Au and 96% recovery;
Transitional ore 3.55g/t Au and 82% recovery; and
Sulphide ore 3.44 g/t Au (open pit) and 3.68 g/t Au (underground) 80% recovery.
Operating costs with C1 Cash Cost at US$650/oz and total operating costs (including sustaining capital and royalties) at US$769/oz.

Table 1: PEA Key Variables

The PEA was based on the Measured and Indicated portions of the updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Fair Bride (ASX: 14 November 14) of 9.5Mt tonnes at 3.0 g/t for a contained 923,000 ounces of gold at a cut-off grade of 1.0g/t gold.

Once ramp up is achieved, Fair Bride delivers an average steady state production profile of 46,700 ounces of gold per annum once full production is reached. There is an expectation of increasing the mine life through the addition of further ore along strike to the west, and at depth. As well as over 150k oz already defined at other targets throughout the Manica Gold Project 3990C mining licence.

The PEA is based on a convention open pit treating oxide and transitional ore through a standard CIL circuit at a rate of 0.5M tonnes per annum. The deeper transitional and sulphide ore will be processed through a flotation circuit, recoveries of over 95% of the Au from final concentrate mass pull of less than 12-13% have been proved in testwork. The flotation concentrate will go through a re-grind process and then into a CIL circuit, final recoveries of 82% for the transitional and 80% for the sulphide have been used in the PEA.

Start-up capital costs are estimated to be US$28.4M, and underground development costs of US$14.8M. Importantly, the underground capital development does not commence until year 4 of the operation, after the initial project capital has been repaid and will be funded from cash flows.

Operating costs (C1 Cash Costs) are estimated at US$650/oz over the life of mine. Given the amount of engineering work already undertaken by Auroch, the estimation accuracy for the capital cost is in the range of -15% to +20%, which only marginally affects the project financials. No contingency is included in the quoted capital costs.

The PEA confirms the potential for strong economics with the Project estimated to generate US$82.4M of post-tax cumulative net cash flow over the life of the mine at a gold price of US$1,250/oz. Payback is calculated to be 3 years from first ore.

Details of the PEA

Mining

This PEA is based around an open pit mine and shallow underground operation processing 500,000 tonnes per annum through a conventional plant. Open pit mining will be contracted through a mining service provider applying standard open pit methods according to a mine plan and production schedule provided by Auroch. Additional operating costs have been included for the technical mine supervision of the selective mining by the contractor. Underground mining will be owner-operated and high-grade zones will be targeted and mined using a variety of stoping methods depending on ore body geometry but will predominantly be sub-level open stoping with waste filling.

During the mining process, ore will be separated into high grade (cut-off >1.2g/t) and low-grade (0.4 – 1.2 g/t). The low grade ore will be stockpiled separately and will be treated at the end of the mine life to produce an additional 11,500 ounces of gold.

Processing

The ore will be fed to the process plant at a rate of 0.5MT per annum or 40-45 ktpm, to produce gold doré. Initial plant feed will be from the oxide zone and uppermost transitional zones, where recoveries in excess of 90% have been demonstrated, into a standard CIL circuit. As mining progresses deeper into the transitional ore and sulphides the process route will be upgraded to include a flotation circuit and regrind before oxidative leaching and CIL.

The carbon emanating from the CIL circuit will be acid washed, eluted and re-generated in the elution circuit. The eluate will be subjected to electrowinning and smelting to produce a gold doré bullion and shipped to a refinery.

After gold is removed in the CIL circuit, the tailings will be sent to the cyanide detoxification process. The flotation tailings, which have not undergone cyanidation, will be combined with the detoxified CIL tailings and pumped as a de-watered slurry to an engineered Tailings Storage Facility ( TSF ) for safe storage through the mine closure and reclamation process. Excess water will be reclaimed from the TSF and recirculated to the plant.

Resource

The current PEA considers only ore within the Measured and Indicated categories as released to the ASX on the 14[th] of November 2014 and presented in Table 2 below:

Fair Bride MRE November 2014. Cut-off 1.0g/t Au	Fair Bride MRE November 2014. Cut-off 1.0g/t Au	Fair Bride MRE November 2014. Cut-off 1.0g/t Au	Fair Bride MRE November 2014. Cut-off 1.0g/t Au

Fair Bride Total Resources			9,546	3.01	923,200

Table 2. Fair Bride Resource statement November 2014.

There are considerable opportunities at the Fair Bride Gold Project for further resource growth through additional drilling, particularly at the western end of the deposit. There are also opportunities for further drilling to convert a percentage of the inferred resource into the mining schedule to add additional mine life.

Furthermore, there are three other deposits within the 3990C Mining Concession with a combined Mineral Resource inventory in excess of 150K oz of gold that are not considered in the scope of the current PEA.

Site infrastructure

The overall site plan contains all facilities required to mine and process half a million tonnes of ore per year, including:

Haul roads
Open pit mine
Process plant and infrastructure
Water treatment plants
Tailing Storage Facility (TSF)
Waste rock dumps
Auxiliary buildings

Power for the process plant will come from the Mozambique grid via an upgrade of the local Manica substation, including power lines from Manica to site and a transformer to supply the power required.

The TSF will be situated to the north of the Revue River and will contain and store tailings from the process plant, it will be built in several stages (lifts) and final capacity will not be needed until year five of operations. Some tailings will also be used to fill voids underground.

Updated Mineral Resource Estimate

During the Period, Auroch released an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) for the Fair Bride Deposit. Fair Bride is the flagship deposit within the Manica Project in western Mozambique. The Mineral Resource Estimate is presented in Table 2.

Auroch made a strategic decision to focus on the Fair Bride deposit, the largest orebody within the Mining Lease 3990C ( Figure 2 ). The update to the previous 2011 mineral resource estimate and a comprehensive set of new metallurgical tests at Fair Bride will form the backbone of a scoping study focused solely on the development of the Fair Bride deposit.

A summary of the information used to estimate the resource follows. The overall geological setting is a classic “Shear Zone Hosted Gold Deposit” occurring in the Odzi-Manica-Mutare ( OMM ) greenstone belt within the Archaean aged

AUROCH MINERALS NL DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Zimbabwe Craton. The OMM hosts a number of gold deposits including the Redwing, Penhalonga and Rezende mines. The Fair Bride deposit is hosted within a sequence of low-MgO ultramafics, mafics and sedimentary units that have been metamorphosed to upper Greenschist – lower amphibolite facies. Gold mineralisation occurs in an east- west trending shear zone within a multiply deformed, retrograde alteration halo. The gold is typically associated with arsenopyrite (up to 5%) within a silica + chlorite + albite +biotite + Illite ± carbonate ± pyrite alteration halo.

Detailed geological studies have identified the key lithologies interpreted to be important to the spatial distribution of the orebody, including the overprint of weathering where the Base of Complete Oxidation ( BOCO ) and the Top of Fresh Rock ( TOFR ) were logged in detail. This has allowed the compilation of a robust geological interpretation which was wireframed and used for resource estimation.

Drilling of the deposit has been by both diamond drilling (75%) and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling. Diamond drilling was of HQ and NQ diameter core (111 holes for 21,555m), recoveries of diamond core across the deposit were excellent averaging 96%.

Dr Tunks has strong links to the equity markets and has been involved in raising over $50M of capital for exploration and development projects, he has held several Board positions and is currently a Non-executive Director of Minerals Corporation Limited (ASX:MSC).

Board Changes

Following the resignation of Jan Nelson as a Non-executive Director of the Company during the reporting period, Matthew Foy was appointed to the Board as a Non-executive Director. Matthew is also Auroch’s Company Secretary and is an active member of the WA State Governance Council of Governance Institute Australia (GIA). Matthew spent four years at the ASX facilitating the listing and compliance of companies and possesses competencies in publicly listed company secretarial, operational and governance disciplines. Matthew is currently company secretary to several ASXlisted Companies.

Loan Facility

During the reporting period, the Company advised that it entered into an unsecured loan facilities with unrelated parties of up to $814,087 ( Loan Facilities ). The Loan Facilities have a repayment date of 30 June 2016 and accrue interest at a rate of 9.25% per annum. The Company also entered into loan facilities with Mr Glenn Whiddon for $625,000 which accrue interest at a rate of 9.25% per annum and may be repayable on seven business days following a written notice for repayment. Should interest not be paid then the interest rate increases to 12%.

AUROCH MINERALS NL DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The convertibility of the debt provided is subject to shareholder approval. The convertible loan facility may be converted into ordinary shares with attaching options. The conversion price for the issue of shares will be a 20% discount to the 5- day VWAP with a free attaching option for every two shares issued on conversion.

The loan facility is convertible at any point between the granting of shareholder approval and the repayment date of 30 June 2016. The Company received notifications on 19 and 30 June 2015 by two convertible note holders of their intention to convert the entire loan amounts, subject to shareholder approval.

Metallurgical Update

On 8 July 2015, the Company announced positive results from Metallurgical testwork on the Project. Auroch received several requests for samples of flotation concentrate for technical and commercial evaluation by smelters and other downstream processors in various countries. To produce the samples, 737kg of diamond drill core from the Fair Bride sulphide zones were shipped to Nagrom laboratories in Perth, Western Australia, in May 2015.

The objectives of the programme were:

to produce high grade concentrate samples for shipment to clients; and
to confirm and expand on the earlier flotation and gravity pre-concentrating testing done on Fair Bride ore in 2006.

Flotation Tests:

The sample was ground to P90 -0.075mm and then four screening tests, using different reagent suites, were done to determine the best conditions for a bulk flotation run to produce the required samples.

Test No.	Calculatedgradeg/t Au	Au Recovered to conc %	Concgradeg/t Au	Mass Pull %
1	3.06	94.05	21.84	13.19
2	2.98	94.06	24.30	11.52
3	3.12	92.56	27.07	10.68
4	3.27	91.37	32.71	9.12

These results confirmed earlier work which resulted in over 90% gold recovery to flotation concentrate in a low percentage mass.

Gravity Tests

For the gravity tests, the ore was ground to a relatively coarse size of 0.5mm and processed over a shaking table. The table residue was further ground to 75 microns and processed in a flotation cell to scavenge the remaining gold. The concentrate from this scavenger flotation was subjected to cyanidation in a bottle roll test to determine gold recovery under standard cyanide conditions – without fine grinding or oxidative leaching.

The gravity tests yielded better than expected results with almost 50% of the gold being recovered into a relatively small mass of less than 3% and 73% being recovered into a mass of 10.7%. The scavenger flotation recovered 88% of the remaining gold and, of this, 49% was dissolved under standard cyanidation conditions.

The use of gravity concentration at a coarser grind can recover up to 70% of the gold at a much reduced energy consumption. Flotation of the gravity residue produces a concentrate that could be processed in the cyanide circuit already installed for the processing of oxide ore at no extra cost. The overall gold recovery using a gravity flowsheet is 84 % which compares favourably to the recovery of 80% achieved by flotation and ultrafine grinding and that was used as the basis of the PEA.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

First Tranche of US$500,000 Funding Forwarded from Xtract

On 15 July 2015, the Company advised that the first tranche of US$500,000 in funding from Xtract Resources plc (Xtract) had been forwarded to the Company. As part of the Agreement, Xtract agreed to provide funding up to a maximum of US$1.5 million for the Company to settle project-related creditors. On 14 September 2015 the Company advised it had received a further US$500,000 in cash from Xtract pursuant to the revised sale terms for the sale of 100% of the Manica Mining Concession 3990C.

Governance Arrangements and Internal Controls

The Company has ensured that the mineral resource estimates quoted above are subject to governance arrangements and internal controls. A summary of these are outlined below.

The report of mineral resources is reported as one development property and includes a gold deposits. The mineral resources at the Manica Gold Project are reported in accordance with JORC 2004 and JORC 2012 and these will be progressively updated to the JORC 2012 standard as development priorities dictate.

Audit of the estimation of mineral resources is addressed as part of the annual internal audit plan approved by the Board in its capacity as the audit and risk management committee. Specific audit of the mineral resources was performed in 2014 and this audit was managed by Auroch and its external technical experts.

In addition to routine internal audit, the Board monitors the mineral resource status and approves the final outcome. The annual mineral resource update is a prescribed activity within the annual corporate planning calendar that includes a schedule of regular executive engagement meetings to approve assumptions and guide the overall process.

The mineral resource estimation processes followed internally are well established and are subject to systematic internal and external peer review. Independent technical reviews and audits are undertaken on an as-needs basis as a product of risk assessment.

AUROCH MINERALS NL

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Remuneration policy

The remuneration policy of Auroch has been designed to align director and management 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. Key performance areas of the Group include cash flow, share price, exploration results and development of cash-generating business activities. The Board of Directors (the Board ) of Auroch believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best management and directors to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

Voting and comments made at the company’s 2014 Annual General Meeting

At the 2014 Annual general Meeting the Company remuneration report was passed by the requisite majority of shareholders (100% by a show of hands).

Remuneration Governance

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 and approved by the Board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and the ability to receive options and performance-based incentives. The remuneration committee, composed of the full 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.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.

The employees of the Group receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

All remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options (if applicable) given to Directors and Key Management Personnel are valued using an appropriate option pricing methodology.

The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive Directors at the lower end of market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment, and responsibilities. The remuneration committee 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. 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 Group.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive Directors was approved by shareholders at a General Meeting held on 11 February 2011. The maximum amount of fees payable to non-executive directors is $250,000 per annum.

The Board expects that the remuneration structure implemented will result in the company being able to attract and retain the best executives to run the Company. It will also provide executives with the necessary incentives to work to grow long-term shareholder value.

The payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the Board as part of the review of executive remuneration. All bonuses, options and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board can exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. During the Period no performance based incentives, options or bonuses were granted to any director or executive. As such, no pre-determined performance criteria have been outlined for the existing Board.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In order to assist in the understanding of the accounts, the following summary explains the material accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of the accounts.

(a) Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001 . The Company is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing these financial statements.

Compliance with IFRS

The financial statements of the company also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs and do not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on the 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 consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,003,116 (2014: $921,051) and incurred net cash outflows from operating activities of $217,513 (2014: $547,261). The consolidated entity held cash assets at 30 June 2015 of $86,667 (2014: $331,570).

Auroch entered into a binding share sale and purchase agreement for the sale of Project to Xtract which was revised subsequent to the reporting period (Agreement).

Under the Agreement the total consideration payable is US$10.0 million and is attributable to the sale of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiary, Mistral Resource Development Corporation (Mistral) and the transfer of the Company’s direct 2% shareholding in Explorator Limitada (Explorator) to Xtract. (Refer to note 10)

The director’s recognise that the ability of the consolidated entity’s to continue as a going concern and pay its debts as and when the fall due is dependent upon the consolidated entity completing the binding share sale and purchase agreement for the sale of the Manica Mining Concession 3990C, which is conditional upon the consolidated entity obtaining prior consent of the Government of Mozambique, through the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy, to the extent under the Mozambique Mining Act and other applicable laws. Should the consent not be obtained, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In considering the above, the Directors have reviewed the consolidated entity’s financial position and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the consolidated entity will be successful in securing the funds through the sale.

The financial report does not contain any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not be able to continue as a going concern.

AUROCH MINERALS NL

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation (continued)

Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the consolidated entity.

Use of estimates and judgments (continued)

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes:

(i) Note 23 – Share-based payment arrangements - The Group measures the cost of equity settled share based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, the expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

Early adoption of new standards

The Group has elected not to early adopt any new standards issued not yet effective. Refer to note 1 (z) for an assessment of the impact of these standards to the Group.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

New and amended standards adopted by the group

The entity has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2014:

Interpretation 21 Accounting for Levies
AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
AASB 2013-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting
AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards

AUROCH MINERALS NL

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(b) Principles of Consolidation (continued)

None of the new Standards and amendments to Standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2014 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and is not likely to affect future periods. Additionally, they did not significantly affect the entity’s accounting policies or any of the disclosures.

Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

In the year ended 30 June 2015, the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014.

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.

No retrospective change in accounting policy or material reclassification has occurred requiring the inclusion of a third Statement of Financial Position as at the beginning of the comparative financial period, as required under AASB 101.

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Auroch Minerals NL as at 30 June 2015 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Auroch Minerals NL and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated entity.

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.

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 asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Joint arrangements

Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement.

Joint operations

The group recognises its direct right to the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

Joint ventures

Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated balance sheet.

(c) Impairment of Assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.

AUROCH MINERALS NL

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(c) Impairment of Assets (continued)

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s values in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs.

When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cashgenerating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at re-valued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

As assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had the impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at the re-valued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(d) Share Based Payment Transactions

Under AASB 2 Share Based Payments, the Group must recognise the fair value of shares and options granted to directors, employees and consultants as remuneration as an expense on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period in the statement of comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. No revision to original estimates is made in respect of options issued with market based conditions.

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”). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees (including directors) is measured by reference to fair value at the date they are granted. The fair value is determined using an appropriate option pricing model.

In relation to the valuation of the share-based payments, these are valued using an appropriate option valuation method. Once a valuation is obtained management use an assessment as to the probability of meeting non-market based conditions. Market conditions are vested over the period in which management assess it will take for these conditions to be satisfied.

(e) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which has been identified by the Group as the Managing Director and other members of the Board of directors.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(f) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximately their fair value due to their short-term nature. 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.

(g) Property, Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Depreciation is calculated using the diminishing value and prime cost methods and is brought to account over the estimated economic lives of all plant and equipment. The rates used are based on the useful life of the assets and range from 10% to 40%.

Assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An assets carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets carrying value is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the profit and loss.

(h) Assets held for sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

(i) Income Tax and Other Taxes

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 Group’s subsidiaries and associates 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 provision where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Adjustments to current income tax are made to take into account any change in tax rates between the Company and its subsidiaries.

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 financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill.

AUROCH MINERALS NL

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(i) Income Tax and Other Taxes (Cont)

Deferred income tax is also 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 end of the reporting period 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 foreign operations where the Group 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.

Auroch Minerals NL and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the financial statements.

(j) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

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.

The Group’s policy with respect to exploration and evaluation expenditure is to use the area of interest method. Under this method exploration and evaluation expenditure is carried forward on the following basis:

i. Each area of interest is considered separately when deciding whether, and to what extent, to carry forward or write off exploration and evaluation costs; and
ii. Exploration and evaluation expenditure related to an area of interest is carried forward provided that rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and that one of the following conditions is met:
such evaluation costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or
exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation costs accumulated in respect of each particular area of interest include only net direct expenditure.

(k) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cash in bank accounts, money market investments readily convertible to cash within two working days, and bank bills but net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(l) Investments and other financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivate 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 statement of financial position date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivable are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position.

Recognition and de-recognition

Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transactions 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.

Subsequent measurement

Loans and receivables 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.

(m) Employee Entitlements

The Group’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date is recognised in other payables. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, and annual leave which will be settled within one year, have been measured at their nominal amount and include related on-costs.

(n) Earnings Per Share

(i) Basic Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating loss attributable to the equity holder of the Company after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

(ii) Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the year.

(o) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

AUROCH MINERALS NL

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(p) Trade and Other Receivables

Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful debts. Current receivables for GST are due for settlement within 30 days and other current receivables within 12 months. Cash on deposit is not due for settlement until rights of tenure are forfeited or performance obligations are met.

(q) Trade and Other Payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(r) Financial Liabilities

Financial Liabilities are carried at cost.

(s) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the statement of financial position date.

Convertible notes are recognised as borrowings until required shareholder approval is obtained and the remaining liability is classified as convertible notes.

(t) Borrowings Cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use of sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

(u) Goods and Service Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

Where the GST incurred on the purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
Receivable and payable are stated with the amount of GST included.

The amount of GST recoverable from the taxation authority is included as part of the receivables in the Statement of financial position. The amount of GST payable to the taxation authority is included as part of the payables in the Statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

(v) Contributed Equity

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(w) Provisions

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

(x) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (‘the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position.

(x) Foreign currency translation

income and expenses for each Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange difference is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

No dividends were paid or proposed during the year.

(y) Parent entity information

The financial information for the parent entity, disclosed in note 29 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

(i) Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss when its right to receive the dividend is established.

AASB reference	Title and Affected Standard(s):	Nature of Change	Application date:	Impact on Initial Application
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers	Revenue	The standard provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied.	Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017	The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2017 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

In preparing these Financial Statements the Group has been required to make certain estimates and assumptions concerning future occurrences. There is an inherent risk that the resulting accounting estimates will not equate exactly with actual events and results.

(a) Significant accounting judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Group has capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure on the basis either that this is expected to be recouped through future successful development (or alternatively sale) of the Areas of Interest concerned or on the basis that it is not yet possible to assess whether it will be recouped. Refer to note 10 for further details.

Deferred tax assets

The Group expects to have carried forward tax losses which have not been recognised as deferred tax assets on the basis that the extent of any Australia capital gains tax liability on the proposed disposal of ‘Assets Held for Sale’ is uncertain due to potential exemptions available under Australian participation exemption rules and foreign tax offset (arising from payments of Mozambique tax.) Refer to note 5 for further details.

(b) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)

(b) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)

Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation 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.

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 using the Black Scholes model. Should the assumptions used in these calculations differ, the amounts recognised could significantly change. Details of estimates used can be found in Note 23.

Estimated fair value of borrowings

The initial fair value of the liability portion of converting notes is determined as the proceeds less value of borrowing costs and fees. The liability is subsequently recognised at fair value until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the notes, with the fair value at maturity estimated based on management’s view of the most likely conversion outcome.

Auroch paid Pan African a final payment of $350,000 in full and final satisfaction of its obligations:

To pay the remaining of $1.15 million Consideration Cash
To pay up to $4 million in Deferred Cash Consideration
To issue up to 71,666,668 ordinary shares as Deferred Consideration Shares under the original share sale agreement, and
Auroch cancelled the existing 25 million shares held by Pan African.

The Manica Gold Project has been initially accounted for as an asset acquisition and recognised at the above value at acquisition.

SALE OF MANICA GOLD PROJECT

Auroch entered into a binding share sale and purchase agreement for the sale of Project to Xtract which was revised subsequent to the reporting period ( Agreement ).

The Company and Xtract have agreed that the allocation of the aggregate consideration price of US$10.0 million is comprised of:

US$5.8 million for the acquisition of Manica Mining Concession 3990C;
US$4.0 million in respect of all Mining Information relating to the Mining Concession; and
US$200,000 in respect to the transfer of the Company’s 2% shareholding in Explorator to Xtract.

Therefore at 30 June 2015 the carrying value of the capitalised exploration expenditure has been reclassified as “Asset held for sale”.

Completion of the above transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent including obtaining the necessary approval from the Ministry of Mineral Resources Mozambique.

The balance carried forward represents projects in the exploration and evaluation phase.

Ultimate recoupment of exploration expenditure carried forward is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of respective areas.

(d) Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Group in proportion to the number of 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.

Partly paid shares have an issue price of $0.20 of which 1 cent is paid. The balance of the issue price is payable at the election of the holder at any time by the issue of a Payment Notice in writing and delivered to the registered office of the Group; or the directors can make a call on the partly paid shares up to one day before five years from the date of issue of the partly paid shares. If a call is not paid when made, the partly paid shares shall be subject to forfeiture. Partly paid shares participate in any dividends on the same basis as if the partly paid share were fully paid. Partly paid shares are not listed.

(e) Capital risk management

The Group’s objective when managing working capital is to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for the shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the return of capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group defines capital as cash and cash equivalents plus equity.

The Board of Directors monitors capital on an ad-hoc basis. No formal targets are in place for return on capital, or gearing ratios, as the Group has not derived any income from their mineral exploration and currently has no debt facilities in place.

20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Overview

The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:

a) credit risk
b) liquidity risk
c) market risk

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through regular reviews of the risks.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and for the Group arises principally from cash and cash equivalents.

All cash balances are held with recognised institutions limiting the exposure to credit risk. There are no formal credit approval processes in place.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

xposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
	2015	2014
	$	$
Cash and cash equivalents	86,667	331,570

inancial assets that are neither past due and not impaired are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents
AA S&P rating	86,667	331,570
	86,667	331,570

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about default rates.

Financial assets that are neither past due and not impaired are as follows:

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The Group anticipates a need to raise additional capital in the next 12 months to meet forecasted operational activities. The decision on how the Group will raise future capital will depend on market conditions existing at that time.

Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

The Group has no access to credit standby facilities or arrangements for further funding or borrowings in place.

The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of the business. These were non interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor payments.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(c) Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

(i) Currency risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

The Group did not have any formal policies in place regarding currency risk during the year as it was not considered significant. This will be monitored as appropriate going forward and introduced as necessary.

The groups exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollar, was as follows:

20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(ii) Cashflow and interest rate risk

The Group’s only interest rate risk arises from cash and cash equivalents held. Term deposits and current accounts held with variable interest rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group does not consider this risk to be material and has therefore not undertaken any further analysis of risk exposure for 2015.

(d) Fair values

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The Fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example investments in unlisted subsidiaries) is determined using valuation techniques.

The carrying value less impairment of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The carrying amounts are estimated to approximate fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities a as follows:

Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Borrowings Financial liabilities Total Financial Liabilities	2015 $ 2014 $
	86,667 331,570 20,085 18,393

	2,278,448 1,581,576 1,858,972 1,021,541 - 1,500,000
	4,137,420 4,103,117

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are outlined below:

Cash/financial liabilities and loans

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.

Convertible notes

The current market value of the convertible notes, net of borrowing costs, is estimated to represent the fair value.

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

Due to their short term nature, the carrying amount of the current receivables and current payables is assumed to approximate their fair value.

Refer to note 21 for further details.

21. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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).

Due to their short term nature, the carrying values of all of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities is assumed to be their fair value. That is, there are no financial assets or financial liabilities measured using the fair value hierarchy.

22. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Management has determined that the Group has two reportable segments, being mineral exploration in Mozambique and Western Australia, which is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. As the Group is focused on mineral exploration, the Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred by area of interest. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the Group and its ongoing exploration activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.

Segment information relating to the reportable segment being mineral exploration in Mozambique and Western Australia is outlined below.

23. SHARE BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS

Employee Share Plan

The Auroch Minerals NL Employee Share Plan is used to reward Directors and employees for their performance and to align their remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Auroch Minerals NL

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Auroch Minerals NL, 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(a), 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

==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

has been given to the directors of Auroch Minerals NL, 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 Auroch Minerals NL 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(a).

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(a) in the financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the consolidated entity completing the sale of the Manica Mining Concession 3990C, which is conditional upon the consent by the Government of Mozambique, through the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy. This condition, along with other matters as set out in Note 1(a), 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 Auroch Minerals NL for the year ended 30 June 2015 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
