Notes to the Accounts

1. Basis of preparation of Half-Year Financial Statements

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2011 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

These interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial statement and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial statement. Accordingly, this interim financial statement is to be read in conjunction with the annual financial statement for the year ended 30 June 2011 and any public announcements made by Peel Mining Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

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

2. Segment Information

Management has determined that the Group has one reportable segment, being mineral exploration within Australasia. The group is focused only on mineral exploration and the Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred by the individual areas of interest in New South Wales, Western Australia and New Zealand. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PEEL MINING LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Peel Mining Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the disclosing entity and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the disclosing entity are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such 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 financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Peel Mining Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Peel Mining Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO (Australia) Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO (Australia) Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation (other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees) in each State or Territory other than Tasmania.

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

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 Peel Mining Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

• (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

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