PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT - EL6463

Significant progress was made during the second half of 2015 with the metallurgical test work programs on the fresh ore from the Lloyds Mine deposit completed on the drilling conducted in the first half of 2015. Utilizing the results of the test work, process design was completed to determine the viability of processing the three different ore types as a blended single unit or independently. The results of the process design were used to complete a capital cost estimate for the construction of a processing facility to treat the three ore sources. The capital cost estimate and updated operating costs will be used to complete a full feasibility study. The decision to progress towards a full feasibility study at the historical Lloyds Mine ("Lloyds") near the township of Burraga in NSW is based on the preliminary findings of the 2011 prefeasibility study ("PFS") which is available for reading on the Company's website. The findings suggested an economically viable operation was plausible within a relatively short period and at a relatively low upfront capital investment. The operation is anticipated to yield a cash-flow to allow Elysium to explore the attractive upside potential across its entire tenement holding.

Environmental Impact Study

As announced on 9 April 2014, the Company engaged Endure Environmental to carry out an Environmental Impact Study ("EIS"), pivotal to, and lodged along with a, Development Application to the Oberon Council.

The preparation of the EIS is 78% complete with the nine separate specialist studies that comprise the EIS at various stages of completion, as follows:

  • a) Air Quality Impact Assessment completion progress 20% b) Flora and Fauna Impact Assessment completion progress 70% c) Greenhouse Gas Assessment completion progress 0% d) Groundwater Impact Assessment completion progress 80% e) Heritage Impact Assessment completion progress 78% f) Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment completion progress 20% g) Social Impact Assessment completion progress 0% h) Surface Water Impact Assessment completion progress 41% i) Traffic Impact Assessment completion progress 0%

An application for Environmental Assessment Requirements (EARs) was prepared and submitted to NSW Planning and Environment on 5 May 2014. The signed EARs were received on 12 June 2014 and included letters from the following government departments:

  • Oberon Council

  • Environment Protection Authority

  • Fisheries NSW

  • Office of Environment & Heritage

  • Office of Water

  • • Roads & Maritime Services

Subsequent to the issuing of the EARs, DRE (Maitland) sent a letter, dated 19 June 2014, to the Department of Planning & Environment advising that they would require additional and satisfactory data regarding the resource before they could provide their support for the proposed development. The scope of the Flora and Fauna impact assessment area was expanded during the second half of the year upon the determination of the project battery limits. This pushed out the completion date for this stage of the EIS.

The Surface and Groundwater assessment is the current and remaining project critical component of the EIS and therefore was the focus for the year. The proposed project design criterion is for zero release to the environment. Water requirements for the operation can be sourced from either surface harvesting, dewatering of the Lloyds workings or making use of the nearby Burraga Dam; or some combination of these. Usage of ground and or surface water in NSW requires a license which may only be granted once a ground water model is completed.

Eight water monitoring bores were established and groundwater monitoring commenced during December 2014. These water monitoring bores are essential in obtaining the required data to generate a groundwater model which will predict the impacts of the projects activities on the local ground water aquifer. A minimum of one year’s data collection from these bores is required to develop a robust groundwater model. Coffey Geotechnics Pty Ltd (“Coffey”) has assisted the Company in establishing the bores and during 2015 created the hydrogeological conceptual model and the numerical groundwater model from the data collected during the year from the water monitoring bores. Coffey is a recognised consultancy well-versed in the hydrogeological requirements for mine permitting in NSW.

Based on the results of the two models Coffey demonstrated that they were compliant with what was outlined in the Ground Water Modelling Plan presented to NOW in September 2014 and indicates that existing groundwater levels are quite stable and do not respond significantly to rainfall events. Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems and registered bores are unlikely to be impacted by the development. On this basis the company’s groundwater consultant Coffey advised NSW DPI Water that it considers 12 months of groundwater level monitoring to be a sufficient basis for groundwater modelling of the mine operation and to provide baseline data for subsequent assessment of impacts.

Coffeys are investigating the possibility of completing the surface water modelling in conjunction with the groundwater modelling to finalize the site water balance and complete these components of the EIS. This work in expected to be completed in the 1[st] quarter of 2016.

Proposed Project Development

Resource exploration drilling was undertaken from October to March and concluded with a resources estimate in June. As announced 23 June 2015, the Company has fulfilled its aim of upgrading slag and tailings to JORC Indicated and the higher grade component of the Lloyds in-situ resource to Indicated or better with the Measured and Indicated resources available for economic evaluation of 1.36Mt @ 0.9% Cu. Further detail is provided in the Table 1 below and the full technical report is available on the Company website www.elysiumresources.com.au

Table 1. Burraga Project Mineral Resources by model and resource category (totals may not appear to sum due to rounding).

While copper prices have changed since the 2011 PFS, copper prices in Australian dollar terms along with costs have not significantly changed from those used in the study. A higher (than previously used) nominal grade was used in defining the mineralised envelope for resource estimation. The significant increase in additional data allowed for a coherent definition of the Lloyds mineralisation at a nominal 0.2% Cu grade. Estimated cost data to date has led to the decision to use a 0.3% Cu cut-off grade for the resource statement. The completion of the resource model now allows for pit optimisation.

The initial design of the Stage 1 Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) has been completed. It has a crest level at RL 840 and this provides a storage capacity of 375,000m3. This will be enough storage capacity for the first 18months of start-up and operations. The purpose of Stage 1 is to build a TSF to get the project into operation for the lowest capital cost. The additional costs of future stages will be funded from sustaining capital. Building the Stage 1 to the RL 840 level significantly reduces the costs of clay lining the TSF in the early stages of development as a natural clay lining exists in the footprint below this RL 840.

As announced on October 8[th] , an extensive metallurgical test work program was completed on samples of diamond core drilled specifically for the collection of metallurgical samples. The samples consisted of one fresh bulk sample and 10 smaller variability samples representing variances in location, grade and oxidation state. Copper exists as chalcopyrite within the fresh ore alongside pyrite, galena, sphalerite, at times arsenopyrite, and minor levels of silver, gold and indium.

The comminution results showed that the ore will be easily crushed and ground to the desired size range in a conventional crushing and ball mill circuit. A Bond mill work index of 11.1 kwh/t was obtained for the bulk sample and ranged from 10.3 to 13.2 kwh/t for the fresh variability samples, which is lower than the average for copper ores.

Flotation response of all the fresh ore samples was excellent with high copper recovery and low reagent consumption at an optimised grind of P80=125µm. A six stage locked cycle test on the bulk sample resulted in +95% recovery while maintaining a copper concentrate grade of 25%. Depression of pyrite using SMBS during rougher flotation was required to reduce pyrite contamination in the concentrate. Although not present in the bulk sample flotation concentrate, varying levels of zinc and lead contamination occurred in the fresh variability sample concentrates.

The transition ore samples tested gave low recoveries across a range of head grades when using Controlled Potential Sulphidisation (CPS) for the recovery of oxide copper minerals. While the near surface transition material accounts for only around 10% of the in-situ resource being considered for mining, further test-work will be considered to allow this material to be processed alongside the in-situ primary material, tailings and slag dumps.

Precious metals were upgraded to the concentrate.

Material handling with regard to thickening, filtration and pumping holds no concern.

Plant, Infrastructure and Engineering Pty Ltd (PIE) were awarded the contract to complete the Process Design for the process plant. The scope included a review the metallurgical test work data for validation and determination if any more test work is required. The development of the mass balance for the process design and produce the equipment sizing and require process flowchart for the engineering design. Based on the initial metallurgical test results for the three different ore sources it was decided that the fresh ore be processed prior to the tailings stockpile. The fresh ore will be exposed in the mine pre-strip for the TSF construction. This is a variation to 2011 PFS which processed the tailings first. (PIE) has issued the final report on the fresh ore process design work, summarized as follows. For the Lloyds material a feed grind size P80 of 125 µm produced similar copper flotation kinetics and copper recovery to a grind size P80 of 75 µm. The copper grade versus recovery curve was improved at the 125 µm size, and this was chosen as the design grind size. The flotation rate of the chalcopyrite was fast, with 99% of the floatable copper recovered in three minutes of rougher flotation. The remaining 10 minute rougher 3 recovered 1% of the copper and 28% of the NSG in the combined rougher concentrate. Fresh ore recovery of 90% or more (depend on head grade) should not be a problem.

Mincore Pty Ltd (Mincore) was awarded the contract to develop a Capital Cost Estimate +/- 15% for the process plant design, equipment procurement and construction of the process plant and associates services.

The deliverables were;

  • Capital Cost Estimate Report with quotations from supplies for the equipment selected.

  • Bill of Quantities for construction.

  • Cost estimate for the detailed plant engineering.

  • 3D viewing model of the process plant, available for “slicing” for plant layout.

Mincore completed the scope in late December. Figure 1 contains a snap shot of the 3D viewing model. This model was required for “slicing” the plant layout to obtain information for various parts of the EIS to be completed. Figure 2 outlines the arrangement of the different elements of the process plant layout. The process design criteria supplied by PIE was utilized to develop the preliminary process plant design. This plant design was then used to develop an equipment selection and sizing list, which was forwarded to suppliers for quotation. Mincore produced a report that contained the basis of the design; process design criteria used; process plant description; site layouts; equipment lists and project schedule. The capital cost estimate provided the design cost and both direct and indirect costs for the engineering procurement and construction of the process plant. It contains the assumptions and quotation from suppliers used to develop the estimate. The company has developed an estimate for the construction of the TSF, earthworks and owners costs. This estimate will be used in conjunction with updated operating costs to develop a full financial model and full feasibility early in 2016.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

These general purpose interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2015 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 2015 of Elysium Resources 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 1[st] 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 1[st] December 2013.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

(c) Going Concern

For the half year ended 31 December 2015, the Group recorded a loss of $741,752. At 31 December 2015, the consolidated entity had a deficiency of net current assets of $484,311 and the cash balance was $136,842.

On 21 January 2016 the Group received a tax refund of $546,083 with respect to the year ended 30 June 2015.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Group being able to raise additional funds, as required to fund ongoing exploration work and for working capital. The Directors believe that they will be able to raise additional capital as required and are in the process of approaching existing and new shareholders to raise the required finance.

Should the required additional funding not be obtained, there is a material uncertainty as to whether the 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 Consolidated Entity, its size and current operations management does not treat any part of the Consolidated Entity as a separate operating segment. Internal

financial information used by the Consolidated Entity’s decision makers is presented on a “whole of entity” manner without dissemination to any separately identifiable segments.

The Consolidated Entity 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.

1 On 28 October 2014 Elysium gave an option to a third party to acquire the EL52/2569 tenement for $100k. This indicated that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. The Directors have tested exploration and evaluation assets for impairment during the period and have impaired the EL52/2569 tenement by $1,697,087 from $1,797,087 to $100,000 as at 31 December 2014.

7. Contingent Liabilities

The Directors are not aware of any contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2015.

8. Dividends

No dividends were paid or proposed during the period.

9. Events occurring after the reporting period

There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the period and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Group to affect substantially the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years other than:-

On 21 January 2016 the Group received a tax refund of $546,083 with respect to the year ended 30 June 2015.

10. Related Party Transactions

The Group had an office rental agreement with Carling Capital Partners a director related entity of Mr Max Carling. Under the agreement the Group paid $4,000 per month rent which was at normal market rates. This agreement ended in December 2014 and the Company now has its own office space rental agreement.

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2013, as a result of the completion of the reverse takeover, a success fee of $250,000 was payable by Burraga to Carling Capital Partners, a director related entity of Mr Max Carling. $150,000 of these fees remained payable as at 31 December 2015.

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 2015, 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 gives a true and fair view and 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 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of 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 .

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 2015 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(c) (Going concern) in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $741,752 during the half-year ended 31 December 2015 and, as of that date, the consolidated entity had a deficiency of net current assets of $484,311.

These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(c) (Going concern), 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.
