Your directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of Elysium Resources Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of or during the half year ended 31 December 2013 (Elysium, Group or Consolidated Entity).
__________________________________________________________________________
Directors
The following persons were directors of the Group during the half year and up to the date of this report:
Maxim Carling – Director Michael Tilley – Non-Executive Chairman Mark Ohlsson – Non-Executive Director
Review of Operations
The principal activity of the Group during the course of the financial period was mineral exploration.
The net loss of the Group for the half year ended 31 December 2013 was $639,158 (2012: $537,715).No dividends were paid and the directors have not recommended the payment of a dividend.
On 30 August 2013 Elysium announced an off-market takeover bid under Chapters 6 to 6C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) for all of the issued ordinary fully paid shares and options in Burraga Copper Limited ("Burraga"). The Offer closed with 99% acceptances. Elysium subsequently proceeded to a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares. As a result Burraga is now fully owned by Elysium.
Burraga is an unlisted Australian public company that owns three contiguous exploration licences totalling 183 sq kms in the Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales. The exploration licences include the historic Lloyds Copper Mine, the Hackneys Creek gold deposit and the Lucky Draw gold mine all of which have produced copper and gold.
Exploration Activities
NSW
EL6463- (100%) EL6874-(100%) EL7975- (100%)
An Induced Polarisation (IP) survey was commenced over the historical Lloyds Mine area in October, approximately 55% of the planned IP survey was completed prior to the holiday period with the most northerly line being over the historical Lloyds Mine. Additionally a shorter intermediate line was completed over the main tailings dump to assess whether the basement of the tailings could be mapped.
As announced on 28th November 2013, chargeability trends have been associated with conductors identified by an airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey. Two prominent trends are now mapped for in excess of 1.5km, the NE trending high converging with the NS trending high 1.5-2.0 km south of the Lloyds Mine. The anomalies vary up to 200m in width and appear to be stronger at depth, beyond any old workings mapped in the area. Soil sampling results received added to the surface geochemical anomalies that highlight the potential of the area south of Lloyds and in particular the chargeability high at approximately 734,100mE, 6,238,300mN; further sampling to infill this area and better define the anomaly to the west is warranted.
The chargeability high trending north-easterly is stronger and more continuous but seems to have little support from the surface soil sample results. The soil sampling that exists over this trend is older and sampling protocol is not well documented. Apart from the one historical drill-hole collared at the southern-most end which may have drilled through the anomaly, the four drill-holes drilled along the trend collared from the western side were drilled using RC methods and the holes have no record of down-hole surveying.
Burraga's experience through its drill campaigns in 2011 and 2012 shows that RC holes drilled towards the east deviate considerably, steepening or even drilling back towards the west; therefore, even the
E L Y S I U M R E S O U R C E S L I M I T E D D I R E C T O R S ' R E P O R T
minimal drilling over the SE chargeability trend is likely to have not penetrated the strongest parts of the chargeability high. Burraga drilled several shallow holes late in 2013 near the NE high demonstrating the intense level of alteration that has taken place in the area; ZHD-008 was drilled close to the historical hole collared at approximately 734,500mE, 6,237,600mN showing massive pyrite and minor galena from surface. The NE trending high is contained within significant bounding structures mapped at surface, similar to the structural setting hosting Lloyds. The trend also hosts the Sprague's Mine, the second most prominent historical mine in the area after Lloyds. The high at the extreme NE end of the trend and just before a terminating cross-structure seems to form a blind target with no surface soil sampling support and no evidence of historical workings.
__________________________________________________________________________
The short IP line over the tailings seemed to map the base of tailings remarkably well indicating that the basement is deeper than that assumed for the resource estimate and suggesting that a greater tailings tonnage is present; this would conform with historical estimates of tailings tonnages. Upon return of the survey crew several more lines will be run to create a grid, mapping the resistivity difference between the loose tailings and natural rock surface allowing for an update to the tailings resource estimate.
Planning is currently underway to firm up drill targets and resource updates in 2014; work to include:
- collect further soil samples, infilling areas of interest and replacing historical data deemed suspect
- collate surface mapping over the IP trends to identify areas for potential drilling
- continue IP survey to the north of Lloyds to complete proposed survey and to identify further areas for potential drilling
- complete survey over tailings to map basement via resistivity and provide a resource update
The Company is targeting, on both the north trending western, and NE trending eastern chargeability highs, what may be VMS style Lloyds repeats. Lloyds was mined in late 1800's and early 1900s where the average copper grade recovered over the period was reported at greater than 4% copper.
Indonesia – Malang Project
In August the Company agreed to terms of a Heads of Agreement with PT GataSumberDaya to earn 67.5% of the Malang Project on East Java in Indonesia by advancing the exploration efforts at the copper and gold targets and subsequently, through a new Australian subsidiary called Malang Resources Pty Ltd has lent funds to Malang Resources in an amount of US$200,000 on the condition that Malang Resources agrees to subsequently advance these funds to Gata for the purposes of securing the exploration permit (IUP) from the relevant Indonesian government authority.
A program of work to be carried out by Elysium's Indonesian partners, PT GataSumbarDaya commenced in December, entailing reconnaissance mapping over the entire 100 sq km lease with more detailed project scale mapping over the 4 identified prosects. Significant soil, stream and rock chip sampling is planned to consolidated earlier reconnaissance work which identified the potential for large scale porphyry targets in the region. The exploration program is expected to be carried out throughout the second quarter of 2014. Airborne geophysics will be considered following the current work program with the aim of identifying drill-ready targets by the second half of 2014.
A community engagement program has also commenced with local personnel being employed to supplement the exploration crews. Community meetings have identified the need for fresh water to be piped to the village nearest the project which the Company is seeking to address and ensure the full support for the exploration effort continues.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Preparation
These general purpose interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
__________________________________________________________________________
These half yearly financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in the annual financial statements. Accordingly, these statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual reports for the year ended 30 June 2013 of Elysium Resources Limited and Burraga Copper Limited and any public announcements made by the Consolidated Entity during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
(b) Principles of Consolidation and Reverse Acquisition
Elysium Resources Limited is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Elysium Resources Limited completed the legal acquisition of Burraga Copper Limited including its wholly owned subsidiaries Burraga Management Pty Ltd and BC Exploration Pty Ltd on 1st December 2013.
Burraga Copper Limited was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes as it has obtained control over the operations of the legal acquirer. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of Elysium Resources Limited have been prepared as a continuation of the financial statements of Burraga Copper Limited. Burraga Copper Limited (as the deemed acquirer) has accounted for the acquisition of Elysium Resources Limited from 1st December 2013. The comparative information from 1st July 2012 to 31st December 2012 presented in the consolidated financial statements is that of Burraga Copper Limited.
The impact of the reverse acquisition on each of the primary statements is as follows: Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income:
- The statement for the half year to 31st December 2013 comprises 6 months of Burraga Copper Limited and 1 month of Elysium Resources Limited.
- The statement for the half year to 31st December 2012 comprises 6 months of Burraga Copper Limited.
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position:
- The consolidated statement of financial position at 31st December 2013 represents both Burraga Copper Limited and Elysium Resources Limited as at that date.
- The consolidated statement of financial position at 30th June 2013 represents Burraga Copper Limited as at that date.
Statement of Changes in Equity
- The consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half year ended 31st December 2013 comprises Burraga Copper Limited's equity balance at 1st July 2013, its loss for the year, and transactions with equity holders for 6 months. It also comprises Elysium Resources Limited's transactions with equity holders and its loss in December 2013 and the equity balances of Burraga Copper Limited and Elysium Resources Limited at 31st December 2013.
- The consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half year ended 31st December 2012 comprises 6 months of Burraga Copper Limited's changes in equity.
Cash Flow Statement
- The consolidated cash flow statement for the half year ended 31st December 2013 comprises the cash balance of Burraga Copper Limited at 1st July 2013, the cash transactions for the 6 months (6 months for Burraga Copper Limited and 1 month for Elysium Resources Limited) and the closing cash balance of Burraga Copper Limited and Elysium Resources Limited at 31st December 2013.
- The consolidated cash flow statement for the half year ended 31st December 2012 comprises 6 months of Burraga Copper Limited's cash transactions.
E L Y S I U M R E S O U R C E S L I M I T E D N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 3 1 D e c e m b e r 2 0 1 3
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
__________________________________________________________________________
Going Concern
For the half year ended 31 December 2013, the Group recorded a loss of $639,158. At 31 December 2013, the cash balance was $200,708.
As mentioned in note 9, on 27 February 2014 the Company reached an agreement to obtain additional funding of $3.6M from a placement of shares to institutional and sophisticated shareholders. The first stage of this fundraising relating to $900,000 is subject to overseas regulatory approval and due imminently and the balance is due following shareholder and regulatory approval.
The Directors have prepared forecasts which confirm that, after taking account of all these additional funds, the Company and the Group will be able to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Should regulatory or shareholder approval not be obtained to raise these funds or amounts are not raised from alternative fundraising, there is a material uncertainty as to whether the Company and Group will continue as a going concern and therefore realise it assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial statements.
2. Segment Reporting
The Consolidated Entity's sole operations are within the mineral exploration industry within Australia.
The Group has applied AASB 8 Operating Segments. AASB 8 requires a "management approach" under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes.
Given the nature of the Group, its size and current operations management does not treat any part of the Group as a separate operating segment. Internal financial information used by the Group's decision makers is presented on a "whole of entity" manner without dissemination to any separately identifiable segments.
The Group managers operate to manage the business as a whole without any special responsibilities for any separately identifiable segments of the business.
Accordingly the financial information reported elsewhere in this financial report is representative of the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it operates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Elysium Resources Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Elysium Resources Limited ("the company") which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors' declaration, for 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 Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal 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 2013 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 the company, 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 the company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
(continued)
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 Elysium 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 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern
Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 (Going concern basis of accounting) in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $639,158 during the half-year ended 31 December 2013 and, as of that date, the consolidated entity's had a deficiency of net current assets of $247,542.
These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1 (Going concern basis of accounting), 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.
