Chinese Mines:
The Chinese government have ordered consolidation with an adjacent mine, with the final operating arrangements contingent on ore reserve estimates being agreed after the completion of a Chinese government directed drilling programme currently in progress. Until this is finalised the ongoing profitability of the investment will remain in doubt.
The mining license has been extended until 30 April 2011 in order to allow the completion of the required drilling programme. The Directors have no reason to doubt the advice of the Chinese Government officials that the mining license and resource rights will be issued.
During the year ended 30 June 2010 the mine property was written down to fair value less cost to sale, which was computed on the basis of the sale of shares of a minority shareholder in Phosphate Resources (HuaLi) Ltd the company holding the mine properties.

To the members of CI Resources Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half year financial report of CI Resources Limited which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the half year ended on that date, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half year end or from time to time during the half year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the half year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of Interim and Other Financial Reports 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 2010 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 CI Resources Limited and the entities it controlled during the half year ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the Directors’ Report.
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report of CI Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
