CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Clancy Exploration is actively seeking and evaluating new project opportunities. The market sentiment has shifted appreciably towards investing in mining and exploration opportunities in 2016 and we are of the view that the Company’s future lies in the resources sector.

Our team has reviewed several opportunities in the resources sector. We are seeking a project with the capacity to generate significant shareholder value. This search is ongoing.

Over the past year, the Board has changed completely, with the exception of myself, and the Company has been re‐capitalised to position itself ready to take advantage of opportunities as they may arise. The focus has shifted away from Orange in NSW and operations have been brought back to Perth. We are seeking expressions of interest from parties to farm in to or acquire the NSW mineral properties.

With a lean corporate structure and very low cost base your Company is well positioned to rebuild value through maintaining its momentum on project generation activities.

I extend my sincere thanks to my fellow directors, shareholders and other stakeholders for their ongoing support.

Evan Cranston

Chairman

Clancy Exploration Limited – Chairman’s Letter 2016

Clancy Exploration Limited

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 2016

The Directors of Clancy Exploration Limited (Clancy or the Company), provide the following review of operations for the financial year ending 30 June 2016.

CORPORATE

The Board of the Company changed extensively during the year. Firstly, with the resignations of long‐time Chairman Michael Etheridge and Managing Director Gordon Barnes, and secondly with the appointments of David Scoggin and Scott Patrizi. Nathan Featherby also resigned subsequent to the year end to pursue other opportunities. Evan Cranston was appointed as Chairman following the resignation of Nathan Featherby.

Mr Scoggin is a native of Santa Barbara, California and received his Bachelor of Arts from Princeton University, majoring in international relations and finance. He started his career in Tokyo and Hong Kong working as a proprietary trader for both Credit Agricole Indosuez and ING Barings. In 2000, he relocated to Australia where he started a 12‐year period as a portfolio manager/senior trader managing hedge funds for Susquehanna International Group and Evolution Financial Group. He specializes in risk assessment, mergers and acquisition analysis, and has held several corporate advisory roles.

Mr. Patrizi is a corporate finance professional having been previously employed with Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in Perth. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Western Australia. During his time at Deloitte, Scott worked across a range of industries including mining, oil and gas, healthcare, education and private equity providing merger and acquisition, valuation and due diligence services. Prior to Deloitte, he worked for Argonaut Limited, a full service advisory, stockbroking & research and investment house focussed on clients in the natural resources sector, where he gained significant equity capital market experience.

CAPITAL RAISING

Commencing in April 2016, the Board focused on a capital raising process to position the Company for future exploration or acquisition opportunities. The Company completed a capital raising process which raised a total of $2.1m, comprising a placement for $38,000 and a fully underwritten renounceable rights issue for $2.06 million. The Rights issue was fully underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited. Proceeds from the capital raisings, after deduction of the costs, are to be applied to the exploration of existing projects, the search for a new project and working capital. As at 30 June 2016, the Company had cash on hand of $1,868,000.

RELOCATION

The Company has completed the transition of its administrative office from Orange to Perth. Clancy’s exploration office in Orange continues to manage the Company’s interests in the NSW licences but all administration is run out of the Perth office. The exploration office is to close in late 2016. As a result, Clancy has reduced its operating cost base to a minimum whilst it focuses attention on identifying and acquiring a project to secure the Company’s future.

Clancy Exploration Limited – Operations Report 2016

Clancy Exploration Limited

PROJECTS

The Board is focused on securing a new project opportunity for Clancy. It has an active identification and assessment process underway, with several interesting opportunities under consideration, though no suitable opportunities have been advanced to date.

Orange East

EL 8442

(NSW, Clancy 100%; Alkane Resources Ltd, earning 60% and funding 100%)

Orange East is located 15km ESE of the city of Orange and contains several target styles including Ordovician porphyry copper‐gold and post‐Ordovician copper‐gold targets. Numerous old workings occur in the area and many are focused along regional‐scale structures, such as the Lucknow and Godolphin faults. Previous work by Clancy defined a soil anomaly at the Gunnarbee prospect, which has similar geochemical, structural and geological characteristics as the nearby McPhillamys gold deposit, 15km along strike to the south (Figure 1).

Alkane Resources Ltd (Alkane; ASX: ALK) can earn a 60% interest in the Orange East project by spending $500,000 on exploration over three years. Alkane can earn a further 20% interest (80% total) by spending an additional $500,000 on exploration over the subsequent two years. Alkane is managing the exploration program.

Trundle EL 8222

(NSW, Clancy 100%)

The Trundle project consists of a single exploration licence EL8222 located 25km west of the Northparkes copper‐gold mine. There is extensive evidence of porphyry and skarn‐style copper‐gold mineralisation similar to the Cadia Valley and Northparkes.

A 38km[2] Typhoon IP survey was completed in August covering a prospective zone of magnetic anomalies extending from Trundle Park area in the south to north of Mordialloc. The aim of the survey was to detect chargeable bodies at depth to assist with defining the deeper source of the copper‐gold anomalism and vectoring to the richer potassic core of a porphyry system. The survey was configured as a perpendicular pole‐dipole array to minimise electromagnetic coupling. A total of 496‐line km of IP data were collected on a nominal 300m NS by 100m EW receiver dipole spacing. Wet weather impacted field production and the survey area had to be reduced from ~50km[2] to 38km[2] .

Two encouraging zones of broad anomalous chargeability were defined in the Trundle Park and Mordialloc areas. The Mordialloc anomaly is the largest (4x2km) and extends to a depth of at least 500m vertical. It has an eastern and western lobe with the highest overall chargeabilities in the eastern lobe, which was selected for follow‐up drilling and is referred to as the Mordialloc NE target.

Results were received for the diamond hole completed in the December 2015 quarter at the Mordialloc NE IP chargeability anomaly. The hole intersected a thick sequence of andesitic volcaniclastic rocks at the top of the hole followed by a series of gently dipping garnet‐rich calc‐silicate skarn and silica hornfels horizons intruded by a porphyritic monzonite dyke. The rocks are crosscut by abundant carbonate‐sulphide bearing veins. Disseminated sulphides are also present in the matrix, with the dominant sulphide being pyrite. These sulphides are likely to be the source of the IP chargeability anomaly. Unfortunately, no significant results were returned.

Clancy Exploration Limited – Operations Report 2016

Clancy Exploration Limited

Several other IP chargeability anomalies remain to be tested including at Trundle Park where previous drilling has identified significant gold and copper mineralisation such as 2m @ 20g/t Au, 6.97% Cu and 81g/t Ag from 64m and 58m @ 0.44g/t Au, 0.17% Cu from 22m[1] .

Following the withdrawal of High Power Exploration Inc in the March quarter, the project has reverted to 100% Clancy ownership and the Company is seeking a partner for the Trundle project.

Condobolin

EL 7748 (NSW, Clancy 100%)

Condobolin EL7399 is located in the central west of NSW immediately north of the Condobolin township. Condobolin has a substantial mining history, predominantly as a base metals field (lead, zinc and copper), as well as gold. The mineralisation is hosted in epithermal‐style quartz veins within the metasedimentary units of the Ordovician Girilambone Group, associated with pyrite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and free gold.

A 3D IP survey was completed to extend the previous IP survey coverage at Meritilga to the north. A total of 7.9km[2] was surveyed. The aim of the survey was to further define basement structures associated with the numerous gold and base metal occurrences in the Condobolin Mineral Field. A number of chargeable anomalies were defined that required follow‐up.

A 3‐hole (639m) reverse circulation drilling program was completed in mid‐December to test 3D IP chargeability targets generated by previous surveys. All holes were drilled distal to major known prospects. Minor quartz veining and sulphides were intersected, hosted by variably‐phyllic altered metasediments of the Ordovician Girilambone Group. No significant gold intercepts (>1.0g/t) were returned.

Narrow high‐grade gold was intersected in previous drilling by Clancy at the Meritilga prospect with intercepts such as 4m @ 20 g/t Au from 75m[2] and 10m @ 5.78 g/t Au from 80m[3] which remain to be followed up.

Following the withdrawal of Ramelius Resources Limited in the March quarter, the project has reverted to 100% Clancy ownership and the Company is seeking a partner for the Condobolin project.

Fairholme EL 6552 & EL 6915

(NSW, Clancy 100%)

The Fairholme project is located in the Fairholme Igneous Complex 12km north of the Cowal gold mine. The geophysical characteristics of the Fairholme Igneous Complex are similar to the Cowal Complex to the south, which hosts the Cowal gold mine (Barrick) and the Marsden porphyry copper‐gold deposit (Newcrest).

The project was formerly a joint venture with Kaizen Discovery Inc (Kaizen). The Kaizen joint venture focused on the porphyry copper‐gold potential and a number of IP chargeability anomalies were drill tested with disappointing results. Other potential targets such as epithermal Cowal‐style gold systems and porphyry copper‐gold targets in areas where the IP survey did not penetrate into the basement due to conductive overburden, remain to be followed up.

The Company has in respect of any person who is or has been a director or officer of the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring all directors and officers against a liability. The Company maintains insurance policies for the benefit of the relevant director or officer for the term of their appointment and for a period of seven years after retirement or resignation.

The Company has entered into a Deed of Indemnity, Access and Insurance with each of its Directors and the Company Secretary.

11. Remuneration Report – Audited

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Clancy Exploration Limited and the Group, and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration in accordance with the requirements of Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Act. This remuneration report forms a part of the Directors’ Report.

For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company.

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Clancy Exploration Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives. The board of Clancy Exploration Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the consolidated entity, as well as align interests of directors, executives and shareholders.

In previous years’ shares were issued to directors, employees and consultants pursuant to the Company’s Employee Share Option and Loan Plan (“Plan”). No shares were issued in the year ended 30 June 2016. The Board believes that shares are an effective remuneration tool which preserves the cash reserves of the Company whilst providing valuable remuneration.

A participant in the Plan must not sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, charge or otherwise encumber a Share issued under the Plan until the later of the following (to the extent applicable):

the repayment in full of any loan advanced by the Company to the participant contemporaneously with the issue of Shares under the Plan;
the expiry of any service continuity period specified by the Company at the time of issue of the Shares; and
the satisfaction of any performance criteria specified by the Company at the time of issue of the Shares.

If an eligible employee ceases to be an eligible employee of the Company during the period of restriction the Company may buy-back the Plan Shares the subject of the restriction at a price equal to the issue price or the market price at the Board’s discretion.

Loans have been advanced to the directors, executives and employees to pay the cash consideration for the Plan Shares. During the term of any such loan, dividends paid in respect of the Plan Shares in relation to which the Company made the loan will be retained by the Company as interest paid by the borrower on the loan. The borrower must repay the loan to the Company on the earlier of 5 years from the date of allotment of the Plan Shares to which the loan relates, or the date the borrower ceases to be employed by the Company. In such an event, the borrower is required to make available to the Company their Plan Shares to settle the loan. This will result in the Company meeting the loss on the loan so that the loan is effectively linked to the value of the Shares.

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the consolidated entity is as follows:

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed and approved by the board.
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience).
The Managing Director may also receive a cash bonus if certain Key Performance Indicators are met. No cash bonus was paid in 2016 and the Managing Director position is currently vacant.
In prior years, executives have received options to acquire ordinary shares, and one executive director was granted Shares pursuant to the Company’s Employee Share Option and Loan Plan. An allocation of shares was made based on factors such as length of service and experience.
The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the consolidated entity’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and is expensed over the appropriate vesting period. Shares issued under the Employee Share Plan are valued using the Binomial Tree methodology.

Non-Executive Directors

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required.

11. Remuneration Report – Audited (continued)

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Currently there is a maximum aggregate sum of $200,000 per annum, which is to be divided between the non-executive Directors in the proportions agreed between them or, failing agreement, equally.

Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and have been granted options in previous years. Shares were issued to nonexecutive directors in prior years pursuant to the Company’s Employee Share Option and Loan Plan (“Plan”) as set out above under “Remuneration Policy”. The Board believes that shares are an effective remuneration tool which preserves the cash reserves of the Company whilst providing valuable remuneration. Loans have been advanced to the non-executive directors to pay the cash consideration for the Plan Shares.

Company performance, shareholder wealth and director and executive remuneration

Shares have been issued to directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests.

Executive and non-executive directors, other key management personnel and other senior employees have been granted ordinary shares pursuant to the Company’s Employee Share Option and Loan Plan. The recipients of Plan Shares are responsible for growing the Company and increasing shareholder value. If they achieve this goal the value of the Plan Shares granted to them will also increase. Therefore, the Plan Shares provide an incentive to the recipients to remain with the Company and to continue to work to enhance the Company's value.

There is no policy in place which limits exposure to risk in relation to those securities in the Company which constitute an element of directors’ remuneration and which are linked to satisfaction of Company performance conditions.

The table below sets out summary information about the consolidated entity’s earnings and movements in shareholder wealth for the two years to 30 June 2016, the six months to 30 June 2014 and the two years to 31 December 2013:

12. Auditor Independence and Non-Audit Services

The Group’s current auditors, appointed on 15 June 2016, did not perform any services in addition to its statutory audit services.

During the year, Ernst and Young, the Group’s previous auditor, performed certain services in addition to its statutory audit duties. The total non-audit services provided by the previous external auditor amounted to $5,750 (2015: $9,800).

The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the previous external auditor did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the act due to the following reasons:

1) all material non-audit services have been reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors prior to commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor;

2) none of the services undermines the general principles relating to auditors’ independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including reviewing and auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

13. Auditors’ Independence Declaration

The auditors’ independence declaration for the reporting period ended 30 June 2016 has been received and can be found on page 12.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiary as at 30 June 2016. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

(e) Investment in joint operations

A joint operation is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.

The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the IFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

The Group can elect to contribute to ongoing exploration costs in proportion to its interests or dilute (a farm-out arrangement). If contributions are made during the reporting period, they are accounted for as exploration expenditure. Once the joint arrangement partner had earned its interest, the Company recovers expenditure equivalent to the other joint arrangement partner’s interest.

The Group does not record any expenditure made by the farminee on its account. It also does not recognise any gain or loss on its exploration and evaluation farm-out arrangements. Any cash consideration received directly from the farminee is credited against costs previously incurred in relation to the whole interest.

When the Group, acting as an operator, receives reimbursement of direct costs recharged to the joint operation, such recharges represent reimbursements of costs that the operator incurred as an agent for the joint operation and therefore have no effect on profit or loss.

In many cases, the Group also incurs certain general overhead expenses in carrying out activities on behalf of the joint operation. As these costs can often not be specifically identified, joint operation agreements allow the operator to recover the general overhead expenses incurred by charging an overhead fee that is based on a fixed percentage of the total costs incurred for the year, often in the form of a management fee. Although the purpose of this recharge is very similar to the reimbursement of direct costs, the Group is not acting as an agent in this case. Therefore, the general overhead expenses and the overhead fee are recognised in profit or loss as an expense and income, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(f) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair value of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured.

(g) Segment reporting

Management has assessed that the Group’s reportable business segments under the quantitative criteria set out in AASB 8 Segment Reporting and has determined that no additional operating segments disclosures are required.

AASB 8 requires the ‘management approach’ to the identification, measurement and disclosure of operating segments. The ‘management approach’ requires that operating segments be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker, for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. This could also include the identification of operating segments which sell primarily or exclusively to other internal operating segments.

In its adoption of the ‘management approach’ to segment reporting, the Group has identified that it continues to operate as a gold, copper and base metals explorer and developer, in a single reportable business segment, under one segment manager, in one geographical location being Australia, consistent with the prior year. The information disclosed in the financial statements is the same information utilised internally by the chief operating decision maker. Accordingly, no additional quantitative or qualitative disclosures are required.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and short-term deposits with an original maturity of not more than 3 months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above. The consolidated entity does not have any bank overdraft facilities.

Where the Company calls cash in advance from its joint venture partners, the cash is recognised as an asset with an offsetting liability for the amount of expenses not yet incurred on the relevant joint venture project at balance date. The liability is then released to the profit and loss as the expenditure is incurred.

Restricted cash represents the cash funds held in term deposit accounts for exploration licenses for a period longer than 3 months but shorter than 12 months. The Department of Trade and Investment, Regional Infrastructure and Services requires the Company to lodge a security deposit in respect of each of its exploration leases granted over tenements held in the Company’s name. These funds are held as a Deed of Security Deposit Bond entered into on behalf of the Company by a financial institution. The amount of restricted cash required to be held as a security deposit varies from time to time depending on the requirements of the tenements leased. The deposits must remain in place until the Company determines that the relevant exploration lease should be relinquished.

(i) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are generally paid on 30-day settlement terms and are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An impairment provision would be recognised when legal notice has been sent and a reply not received within 30 days.

(j) Investments and other financial assets

Investments and financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are categorised as either financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans and receivables, held-tomaturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Designation is re-evaluated at each financial year end, but there are restrictions on reclassifying to other categories.

When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of assets not at fair value through profit and loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

Recognition and Derecognition

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the consolidated entity commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the market place. Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the financial assets has expired or when the entity transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial assets. If the entity neither retains nor transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards, it derecognises the asset if it has transferred control of the assets.

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables including loan notes are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at the transaction price minus principal repayments and minus any allowance for impairment or uncollectability. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired. Loans and receivables are included with receivables in current assets in the statement of financial position, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after balance date, which are classified as non-current. Loans and receivables with maturities greater than 12 months are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(ii) Financial assets carried at cost

Investments are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in the Group’s financial statements. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value (because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

(k) Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of these items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line and diminishing value methods to allocate the cost of the specific assets over their estimated useful lives. The expected useful lives are detailed in Note 11.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

(i) Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

The directors have determined that items of plant and equipment do not generate independent cash inflows and that the business of the consolidated entity is, in its entirety, a cash-generating unit. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is thus determined to be its fair value less costs to sell.

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount. For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as an expense.

(ii) Derecognition and disposal An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is consolidated entity policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

(l) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at the transaction price minus principal repayments. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(m) Provisions and employee benefits

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the consolidated entity expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date using a discounted cash flow methodology. The risks specific to the provision are factored into the cash flows and as such a risk-free corporate bond rate relative to the expected life of the provision is used as a discount rate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs.

Employee leave benefits

(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled with 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. Liabilities for annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in the current provision for the employee benefits. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. For annual leave, expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(ii) Long Service Leave The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(n) Share-based payment transactions

(i) Equity settled transactions : The consolidated entity provides benefits to its directors, employees and consultants in the form of share-based payments, whereby directors and employees render services in exchange for options to acquire shares, rights over shares (equity-settled transactions) and shares issued pursuant to the Company’s Employee Share and Loan Plan (“Plan”). The consolidated entity has also issued ordinary shares and unlisted options as consideration to vendors for the acquisition of exploration licences and drilling services.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value to the Company of the equity instruments at the date at which they were granted in the case of options and shares issued under the Plan for directors, employees and consultants; and the closing share price on, or just before, either the date of entering into, or executing, an exploration licence purchase agreement in the case of options and shares issued to tenement vendors as consideration for the settlement price. The fair value of the unlisted options and shares issued under the Plan is determined using the Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity over the period in which the vesting and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant directors and employees become fully entitled to the options (the vesting date) or shares issued under the Plan.

At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive income reflects:

(i) the grant date fair value of the options and shares issued under the Plan;
(ii) the current best estimate of the number of options and shares issued under the Plan that will ultimately vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of vesting conditions being met, based on best available information at balance date; and

(iii) the extent to which the vesting period has expired.

The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options and shares issued under the Plan is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

(o) Issued Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(p) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Rendering of Services

Where the work performed in relation to a joint venture or other contract outcome can be reliably measured:

right to receive compensation for the services provided and the stage of completion can be reliably measured. Stage of completion is measured by reference to the labour hours performed to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours in relation to a joint venture or for each contract. Where it is probable that a loss will arise in relation to a joint venture or from a contract, the excess of total costs over revenue is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably measured:

revenue is recognised only to the extent that the costs that have been incurred are recoverable.

Unearned income is recognised in respect of progress billings and advances on exploration contracts in progress, received in advance, or not represented by work done or reimbursable expenditure incurred, under joint venture arrangements. Such income is recognised and brought to account over time as it is earned.

(ii) Interest revenue

Revenue is recognised as interest accrued using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised costs of a financial asset and allocating the interest revenue over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

All revenue is stated net of Goods and Services Tax (“GST”).

(q) Income tax and other taxes

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets, liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial statements purposes.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Tax consolidation legislation

Clancy Exploration Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entity formed a tax consolidated group on 1 July 2008. However, they continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The consolidated entity has applied the stand alone taxpayer approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. The current and deferred tax amounts are measured in a systematic manner that is consistent with the broad principles in AASB 112 Income Taxes.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Clancy Exploration Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Members of the tax consolidated group have not entered into a tax funding agreement and as no current tax assets or liabilities or deferred tax assets are recognised in relation to tax losses or unused tax credits, no contributions or distributions are required to be made under AASB Int 1052 Tax Consolidation Accounting.

Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as part of operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority.

(r) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(s) Exploration Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are accumulated and accounted for separately on an area of interest basis. An area of interest is represented by an exploration project, which may include multiple tenements within a single geographic region.

For each area of interest, the company makes an election regarding its treatment of exploration and evaluation expenditure and whether it will be charged to the income statement as incurred, under the expense category “exploration expenditure,” or capitalised as an exploration and evaluation asset.

An exploration and evaluation can only be recognised in relation to an area of interest if the following conditions are satisfied:

a) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
b) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
(i) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and
(ii) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the end of the reporting period reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditures are recorded as an exploration asset at cost less impairment charges. All capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure are monitored for indicators of impairment. Where an impairment indicator is identified, an assessment is performed for each area of interest to which the exploration and evaluation expenditure is attributed. To the extent that capitalised expenditure is not expected to be recovered it is charged to the income statement.

At 30 June 2014, the Group elected to capitalise the acquisition costs associated with the acquisition of the North Arunta tenements. These costs were then reimbursed or impaired during the year ended 30 June 2015. Consistent with prior periods, for all other tenements, the Group has elected to expense the exploration and evaluation costs.

Exploration expenditure in relation to the joint operations managed by the consolidated entity is funded by the jointly controlled operation partner. The consolidated entity makes a cash call for expenditure at the beginning of each quarter for these joint operations on the basis of forecast expenditure. The consolidated entity recognises exploration expenditure reimbursed in advance at year end in the event that cash has been received in advance of expenditure. Exploration expenditure in respect of these joint operations is classified in the statement of comprehensive income within the income or expense category “Net joint venture reimbursed expenses”.

(t) Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments Issued by the Consolidated Entity

(i) Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.
(ii) Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

(iii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value through profit and loss’ or ‘other financial liabilities’.

(iv) Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financially liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Equally, the consolidated entity continually employs judgement in the application of its accounting policies.

Management has not identified any critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made.

The group has Australian capital tax losses for which no deferred tax asset is recognised on the statement of financial position of $60,113 (2015: $60,113) which are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable capital gains subject to continuing to meet the relevant statutory tests.

6. INCOME TAX (continued)

(g) Unrecognised temporary differences

As at 30 June 2016, the group has other temporary differences (excluding tax differences relating to tax losses) for which no deferred tax asset is recognised in the statement of financial position of $42,952 (2015: $264,008). None of these unrecognised temporary differences relate to investments in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures.

(h) Tax consolidation

Members of the tax consolidated group and the tax sharing agreement

Clancy Exploration Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiary were both subsidiaries in a taxconsolidated group with Geoinformatics Exploration Australia Pty Ltd as the head entity until 2 July 2007. A new taxconsolidated group was formed on 1 July 2008 with Clancy Exploration Limited as Head Entity. Members of the new tax-consolidated group have not yet entered into a tax sharing agreement.

Under the terms of certain joint venture agreements, the Company has an obligation to spend $Nil (30 June 2015: $174,645) of the cash balance on the respective joint venture projects, or in the event the joint venture partner does not elect to contribute beyond its minimum contribution, part of this amount may be refunded.

In addition, as at 30 June 2016 the Company has $130,107 in restricted cash (2015: $210,000) which is included as a Restricted Cash Asset in the Statement of Financial Position, held at Westpac Banking Corporation which has been provided as set-off security in respect of a bank guarantee facility provided in turn for exploration licence security purposes.

Financing facilities available

Other than the aforementioned bank guarantee facility, at balance date, the Company did not have any financing facilities available.

9. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (CURRENT)

(a) Fair value and credit risk

Due to the short term nature of the receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. GST input tax refundable is receivable from the Commonwealth of Australia and is therefore viewed as having low credit risk. Accrued income is receivable from Westpac Banking Corporation (and National Australia Bank in prior year) and is therefore viewed as having low credit risk.

(iv) After the farm-in phase is completed, Clancy will have the right to contribute its 20% share of costs or dilute according to standard industry provisions.
(v) If Clancy’s interest dilutes to 5%, it will convert to a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty.

20. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The consolidated entity operates predominantly in one reportable business segment, managed by one segment manager and in one geographical location. The operations of the consolidated entity consist of gold, copper and base metals exploration, within Australia.

The information disclosed in the financial statements is the same information utilised in internal reporting by the chief operating decision maker. Accordingly, no additional quantitative or qualitative disclosures are required.

21. COMMITMENTS

Estimated commitments for which no provisions were included in the financial statements are as follows: (a) Exploration Expenditure Commitments: (i) Under 8 (2015: 12) NSW Government and Nil (2015: 3) Tasmanian Government exploration licenses Payable - not later than one year - later than one year and not later than five years	2016 2015 $ $ 580,550 281,107 - 237,603 Consolidated
	580,550 518,710

The expenditure commitments as at 30 June 2016 include $27,000 (2015: $169,216) commitments that will be met by one of the Company’s joint venture partners (Alkane) as a result of the minimum expenditure commitment under the joint venture agreements with those parties.

Of the 8 exploration licences held by the Company, 2 are pending renewal.

Included in overall commitments calculations are estimates of the Company’s expected commitments in respect of its sole-funded exploration licences.

All the exploration expenditure commitments are non-binding, in respect of outstanding expenditure commitments, in that the Company or its joint venture partners have the option to relinquish and lose these licences or their contractual commitments at any stage, at the cost of its cumulative expenditures up to the point of relinquishment.

Refer to Note 19 for details of Jointly Controlled Operations.

(b) Operating Lease Commitments

In October 2014 the consolidated entity extended the lease for office and core shed premises in Orange, NSW for 24 months. On 31 May 2014 it entered into a 60-month operating lease for a photocopier-printer. Its operating lease commitments at 30 June 2016 are as follows:

	2016 2015 Consolidated
Payable - not later than one year - later than one year and not later than five years	$ $ 23,238 84,072 4,692 27,750
	27,930 111,822

22. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In accordance with normal industry practice the consolidated entity has entered into joint venture operations and farm-in agreements with other parties for the purpose of exploring and developing its mineral interests. If a party to a joint venture defaults and does not contribute its share of joint venture obligations, then the other joint venture partners are liable to meet those obligations. In this event the interest in the tenements held by the defaulting party may be redistributed to the remaining joint venture partners. A contingent liability exists in respect of contributions due to be paid by farm-in partners of the economic entity to some of its joint ventures. However, no material losses are anticipated in respect of any of these contingencies as expenditure commitments, if not recovered from joint venture partners, can be terminated through exploration licence relinquishment at any stage.

(c) Employee Share Plan

Pursuant to an employee share plan offer dated 25 October 2012, the Company provided limited recourse loans to eligible employees or consultants to purchase shares under the plan (“Plan Shares”). Pursuant to loan agreements, the loans become repayable once the employee/consultant ceases to be an eligible employee of or consultant to the Company. If the loan is not repaid within one month of the date of this notice, the Company may sell the Plan Shares in accordance with loan agreement for the benefit of the Company.

The sale proceeds will be deemed to have satisfied the outstanding loan amount in relation to those Plan Shares in full, and the eligible employee or consultant will have no further liability to the Company in respect of the loan and the Company will have no further recourse in relation to the loan. As the only recourse for the loans is against the underlying Plan Shares, based on the criteria for asset recognition, the loans have not been included as a receivable in the financial statements.

As at 30 June 2016, key management personnel held 2,705,924 Plan Shares (2015: 3,498,954) and had limited recourse loans in relation to those shares totaling $68,272 (2015: $84,476).

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the consolidated entity’s operations. The consolidated entity has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the entire period under review, the consolidated entity’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.

For all financial instruments of the Company, the carrying value approximates the fair value.

The main risk arising from the consolidated entity’s financial instruments is cash flow interest rate risk. Other minor risks are either summarised below or disclosed at Note 9 in the case of credit risk and Note 17 in the case of capital risk management. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks.

(a) Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk

The consolidated entity’s exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the consolidated entity’s short-term deposits with a floating interest rate. These financial assets with variable rates expose the consolidated entity to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing. The consolidated entity does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk. In regard to its interest rate risk, the consolidated entity continuously analyses its exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative investments and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. The sensitivity to the movement in interest rates for the likely range of outcomes is immaterial.

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)

Based on the sensitivity analysis only interest revenue from variable rate deposits and cash balances is impacted, resulting in a decrease or increase in overall income.

(b) Liquidity risk

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves and through the continuous monitoring of budgeted and actual cash flows. Further, the consolidated entity only invests surplus cash with major financial institutions.

Contracted maturities of payables:

Contracted maturities of payables:
Payable - less than 6 months - 6 to 12 months - 1 to 5 years - later than 5 years Total	2016 2015 $ $ 227,938 114,778 - - - - Consolidated
	227,938 114,778

(c) Commodity price risk

The consolidated entity has no direct commodity exposures.

(d) Carrying values of financial instruments not recognised at fair value

Due to their short term nature, the carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities, not recognised at fair value, recorded in the financial statements approximates their respective fair values, determined in accordance with accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the financial statements.
