REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The Company's principal activities were the exploration for mineral resources.
Australia
Northampton, Western Australia (including Mary Springs)
The Northampton area is well known for its structurally controlled copper, lead, zinc and silver mineralisation. Anomalous gold values have also been returned from regional sampling.
As at the date of this financial report, the Company has 100% of Exploration Licence 66/56 ("the Mary Springs project") and 5 Mining Access Agreements to 6 Queen Victoria Crown Grants.
Zimbabwe
During the period, the Company's 100% owned Singaporean subsidiary (Prospect Singapore) has agreed to subscribe for new shares representing 70% of Hawkmoth Mining and Exploration (Pvt) Limited ('HME'). HME has entered into a senior exploration and mining agreement, providing HME the right to explore and mine the historic Bushtick Gold Mine and surrounding acreage including tailings dumps. The right to explore outside of the tailings dumps is subject to a special mining grant which has been received. At completion of the above transaction, HME own 100% of the right to explore and mine the Bushtick Gold Mine, and 100% of the tenements comprising the Penhalonga Gold Project and the Chisanya Phosphate Project. The Company expects to complete this transaction imminently.
Subsequent to 31 December 2013, HME has entered into the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement whereby HME can earn a 100% interest in certain mining claims by spending USD$3m on exploration and associated activities over 3 years. HME has also entered into a conditional agreement to acquire additional mining claims from Mixnote Investments (Pvt) Limited in consideration for USD$424,000.
Prospect and Farvic Consolidated Mines (Pvt) Ltd ('Farvic'), who owns the remaining 30% of HME, have entered into a shareholders agreement which governs the operation of HME.
Details of the Projects
The Bushtick Gold Project is a dormant mine situated 8km NNE of Esigodini in the Esigodini Greenstone belt, in the grounds of Falcon College (the grantor of the rights to HME). The mine was historically a major producer. The surrounding ground of approximately 25km2 is also very prospective and has not been the subject of any modern prospecting. The deposit which strikes 120°, dips 80° north, is formed by the silicification, carbonatisation and brecciation of mafic volcanics along a wide shear zone near the edge of the Essexvale Tonalite. Greenstones of intermediate to basic composition are the predominant rock type, underlain by granodiorites. Historical production from four shafts; down to 12 level or approx 300m was 15,000 kg (+- 470,000 oz Au. with a cut-off grade of 5.4 g/t.)
The Penhalonga Gold Project consists of a number of shear and vein hosted gold deposits along the southern side of the Penhalonga Valley covering an area of approximately 1.8km2 , including the historic Battersea Gold Mine and the dormant Penhalonga Gold Mine, 5km north of Mutare. It is situated in the Mutare Greenstone Belt which extends eastward into Mozambique. In terms of gold production per unit area, the Mutare Greenstone Belt at 122kg Au/km2 is one of the richest belts within Zimbabwe. Historical production from the Penhalonga valley between 1897 and 1937 amounted to: Gold 1.3m oz, Silver 1.6m oz, Lead 7,258 tonnes and Copper 5.2 tonnes. Coldawn owns a number of lead tenements within the Mutare Greenstone Belt all of which have been acquired by Prospect.
The Chisanya Phosphate Project is one of 5 known phosphate bearing carbonatites in Zimbabwe. The deposit has been explored by a number of companies since the 1950s including Anglo American and Rhodesia Chrome Mines Ltd. The deposit is a series of un-exploited phosphate in apatite-magnetite lenses in carbonatite located near Birchenough Bridge, Manicaland.
The Greater Farvic Project covers Prestwood Mine, Sally Mine, Colleen Bawn Mine, Valley Mine and other smaller but prospective old mines include; Bye & Bye, Act, Beaufort, Wilson and Ettrick.
Prestwood Mine (Historic Production of 499kg, or approx. 16,000oz of gold at 33.1g/t) The Prestwood Mine consists of multiple veins in greenstones at the monzonite contact. The reef is open ended down dip below 250m. It is considered particularly prospective as it lies in the same geological setting as the Farvic Gold Mine.
The Company's maiden drilling programme is underway and results will be released as received.
Shaft Rehabilitation is underway and once complete, underground drilling for parallel reefs is planned. Evidence of parrallel reefs is supported by the ground magnetic survey completed in January.
Sally Mine (Historic Production of 756kg of gold at 6.9g/t) The Sally Mine consists of wide quartz stockwork (up to 4m) dipping north in granodiorite.
Colleen Bawn Mine (Historic Production of 1,063kg of gold at 15.1g/t)
The Collen Bawn Mines consists of a quartz reef in greenstone close to monzonite and thrusted limestone contacts. It was historically a sulphide rich, refractory ore that caused recovery problems. These issues can now be addressed using modern processing techniques such as fine grinding.
Valley Mine (Historic Production of 1,315kg of gold at 5g/t and 750kg of copper)
The Valeey Mine is a shallow dipping quartz vein stockwork with disseminated sulphides associated with copper in a felsic intrusion within normally barren country rock gneisses. It is believed that flooding caused the premature end to mining activity.
Conditional Agreement to Acquire Additional Mining Claims
HME has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire certain mining claims from Mixnote Investments (Pvt) Limited (Mixnote) in consideration for US$400,000. HME has acquired an exclusive 6 month option to acquire the claims in consideration for US$24,000. HME may extend the options for a further 3 months by the payment of US$12,000.
During this exclusivity period, the Company may carry out mineral exploration and associated activities on the claims, including exploration in and around the historic Prestwood Mine.
Exclusivity Agreement
Prospect entered into an Exclusivity Agreement with Continental Minerals Ltd representing Harry Greaves, Roger Tyler and Chris Rees, each of whom will play a significant role in the development of Prospect. Prospect issued 60,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to Continental Minerals Ltd (or its nominees) as consideration for the Exclusivity Agreement.
The Exclusivity Agreement is for a period of 3 years whereby the above parties will present all Zimbabwe mining opportunities that they become aware of to Prospect for acquisition and/or investment. If Prospect decides not to participate in these opportunities, then the parties shall be free to exploit the opportunity themselves. If certain specified opportunities result in an acquisition by Prospect, a performance fee will be payable subject to shareholder approval.
The Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement is subject to the Placement Exclusivity Agreement. Accordingly, a performance fee is payable to Continental Minerals Limited. In line with the previous performance fee paid, the Company has agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to issue 60 million shares for no consideration to Continental Minerals Limited.
Litigation in relation to Consortium Subscription Agreement
On 15 July 2013, the Company announced entry into a conditional share placement of $4.5 million in total with Sirius Trustees Ltd for $100,000, Investec Zimbabwe Recapitalisation Fund Limited for $500,000 and a consortium including Blumont Group Ltd (BLUM.SI), Alexander Molyneux and Pacific Advisers Pte Ltd (Blumont Consortium) for $3.9m.
On the 29 November 2013, the Company announced that it has commenced proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales against the Blumont Consortium in relation to the subscription for $3.9 million of shares in Prospect by the Blumont Consortium under an agreement for Conditional Share Placement (Subscription Agreement).
Placement
Subsequent to period end, the Company has entered into placing agreements to raise $1,100,000, via the issue of 110,000,000 new ordinary shares at 1 cent each. MBM Capital Partners LLP has subscribed for $850,000, Sirius Trustees has subscribed for $100,000, and entities related to Hugh Warner have subscribed for $150,000 (the issue of securities to Hugh Warner requires shareholder approval). On 21 January 2014, the Company issued 95,000,000 new ordinary shares in satisfaction of the first two placing agreements.
Options
During the period, the Company issued 74,500,000 options with an exercise price of 1.5 cents and expiring 30 June 2015 to directors and management.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company incurred an after tax operating loss for the half-year ended 31 December 2013 of $1,511,386 (2012: Loss $705,946), with $1,145,535 relating to share based payments expense (2012: $Nil) and $Nil relating to the impairment of surrendered tenements (2012: $440,796).

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Statement of compliance
The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 134 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.
(b) Basis of Preparation
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company's 2013 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2013, except in relation to some of the matters discussed at Note 1(d) below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
(c) Going concern
The half year financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
For the half year ended 31 December 2013, the Consolidated Entity recorded a loss of $1,511,386 (2012: loss $705,946), net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $401,012 (2012 $399,743). Included in the half year loss are share based payments totalling $1,145,545 (2012: $nil). At 31 December 2013 the Consolidated Entity had cash and cash equivalents of $73,979 (June 2013: $399,991) and a working capital deficiency of $104,722 (June 2013: working capital surplus $320,587).
In January 2014, the Consolidated Entity raised additional cash of $950,000 (before capital raising costs) through issue of shares. A further issue of shares of $150,000 is pending subject to shareholder approval.
During the half year ended 31 December 2013, the Consolidated Entity has entered into a conditional agreement to subscribe for new shares representing 70% of Hawkmoth Mining and Exploration (Pvt) Limited ('HME') in consideration of US$50,000. HME holds rights to explore and mine the historic Bushtick Gold Mine and surrounding acreage in Zimbabwe, 100% of the Penhalonga Gold Project and associated mining claims and the Chisanya Phosphate Project. At the date of signing the financial report, the acquisition is not finalised. The Company has deposited subscription funds of US$50,000 with HME and is awaiting the issue of new shares and for the Company to be entered on HME's share register as per the legal procedures of Zimbabwe. The Directors believe that this process will be completed in a timely manner.
On 24 February 2014, HME entered into a conditional farm-in agreement to earn up to 100% of certain mining claims within the Gwanda Greenstone Belt whereby it can spend US$2m over 2 years to earn a 51% interest in the claims and elect to spend a further US$1m over a final 1 year period to earn a 100% interest.
On the same date, HME entered into a separate conditional agreement to acquire certain mining claims within the Gwanda Greenstone Belt in consideration of US$424,000.This agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the Company having the financial capacity, as determined by the Directors of the Company, to pay the purchase price of US$400,000. The Company's minimum commitment under this contract is US$24,000.
The directors believe that the Company will be able to raise additional capital when required to enable the Consolidated Entity to meet its obligations as and when they fall due and that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. In the event that the Consolidated Entity is unable to raise sufficient capital required to fund the planned activities of HME, the Directors will modify the operations of the Consolidated Entity to a reduced level of activity to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(c) Going concern (continued)
Should the Consolidated Entity be unable to achieve the matters referred to above, there is a material uncertainty whether the Consolidated Entity will be able to continue as a going concern based on its planned operations and therefore, whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities as and when they fall due.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Consolidated Entity not to continue as a going concern.
(d) New and Revised Accounting Requirements Applicable to the Current Half-year Reporting Period
A number of new and revised accounting standard requirements became mandatory for the first time for the half year period ended 31 December 2013.
- AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements;
- AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011);
- AASB: Joint Arrangements;
- AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (August 2011);
- AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities;
- AASB 2011-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards; and
- AASB 2012-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Transition Guidance and Other Amendments*.*
- AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement; and
- AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13
These Standards became mandatorily applicable from 1 January 2013 and became applicable to the Group for the first time in the current half-year reporting period 1 July 2013 to 31 December 2013. The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current half year. Adoption has not resulted in any changes to the Group's accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior half years
(e) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent, Prospect Resources Limited, and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 15.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are identified and segment information disclosed on the basis of internal reports that are regularly provided to, or reviewed by, the Group's chief operating decision maker which, for the Company, is the Board of Directors. In this regard, such information is provided using similar measures to those used in preparing the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position.
The Company has subsidiaries in Singapore and the United Kingdom which are either dormant, or not significant at the date of this report to the Group.
The Company has one geographic segment being Australia and operates in one industry being the exploration of minerals.

8. COMMITMENTS
Exploration Commitments
In order to maintain an interest in the mining and exploration tenements in which the Company is involved, the Company is committed to meet the conditions under which the tenements were granted and the obligations of any joint venture agreements. The timing and amount of exploration expenditure commitments and obligations of the Company are subject to the minimum expenditure commitments required as per the Mining Act, as amended, and may vary significantly from the forecast based upon the results of the work performed which will determine the prospectivity of the relevant area of interest.
Outstanding exploration commitments are as follows (no estimate has been given of expenditure commitments beyond 12 months as this is dependent on the directors' ongoing assessment of operations and, in certain circumstances, Native Title negotiations):
| December 2013$ | June 2013$ | |

The options of the Company are not considered dilutive for the purpose of the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their conversion to ordinary shares would not decrease the net profit per share nor increase the net loss per share. Consequently, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share.
14. EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE
Subsequent to balance date, the Company issued 95,000,000 shares at $0.01 to raise $950,000 before costs. The Company has also received a subscription agreement for $150,000 from entities related to Hugh Warner, subject to shareholder approval.
Additionally, HME has entered into the Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement whereby HME can earn a 100% interest in certain mining claims by spending USD$3m on exploration and associated activities over 3 years. HME has also entered into a conditional agreement to acquire additional mining claims from Mixnote Investments (Pvt) Limited in consideration for USD$400,000. The Greater Farvic Farm-in Agreement is subject to the Placement Exclusivity Agreement. Accordingly, a performance fee is payable to Continental Minerals Limited. In line with the previous performance fee paid, the Company has agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to issue 60 million shares for no consideration to Continental Minerals Limited.
No other events have occurred after balance date that impacts the financial statements.

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the members of Prospect Resources Limited
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Prospect Resources Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, and the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and, the directors' declaration of the Consolidated Entity comprising Prospect Resources Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year, as set out on pages 7 to 17.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the Consolidated 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 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 conducting 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 Prospect Resources Limited'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 Prospect Resources 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.

Auditor's Independence Declaration
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 Prospect Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.
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 Prospect 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 Act 2001.
Emphasis of Matter
Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1(c) in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a loss of $1,511,386 and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $400,812 during the half-year ended 31 December 2013. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(c), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity 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.
