Total liabilities (being trade and other creditors) amounted to \$529,380 (2010: \$496,008).

Commentary

The Company is seeking to establish itself as an operating gold producer in China through strategic joint ventures. The Company is focused on acquiring advanced gold projects and underperforming mining operations in China which can be upgraded using modern Australian mining methods or converted into producing assets through advanced exploration techniques and modern mine designs.

Review of operations (continued)

Consistent with the Company"s focus it has two binding Framework Agreements in place with Lingbao Xuanrui Mineral Resources Company Limited (Xuanrui). The first agreement is to acquire 51% of the operating gold mine and infrastructure at Zhongqu, which is 100% owned by Xuanrui and two individuals. The infrastructure includes an operating CIL gold plant with 400,000 tonne per annum capacity. The plant is currently operating below this capacity because of suboptimal mine production. The second agreement is to acquire 90% of three granted exploration licences at Diebu, which Xuanrui has the right to acquire 100% from existing owners. Diebu is an advanced exploration project. Both projects are located in the endowed gold producing Qinling Belt in Gansu Province in western China.

Xuanrui is a private mainland Chinese company which is a contributor to the development of minerals in Gansu province. Xuanrui have been nominated by the Bureau of Land and Resources in Diebu county in Gansu as a significant party which enables the company to preferentially acquire additional licences adjacent to its existing operations. By partnering with Xuanrui, Red Mountain Mining Ltd is positioned to expand the mining and exploration tenement licences in these areas and to deploy its objective of building a significant portfolio of gold assets.

At Zhongqu, Red Mountain Mining Ltd has initiated a near-term strategy to undertake exploration activities to bring the current Chinese gold mineralisation estimate into JORC compliance, and to expand the existing mineralisation through underground exploration using modern Australian exploration methodologies. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

The Company has completed an initial 2,300m underground diamond drilling programme which started on 5 May 2011 and is funded by pre-IPO monies. Results released in September 2011 from this drilling, indicate gold resources extend below the lowest level of the operating mine. Following this successful drilling programme, the Company intends to undertake a further drilling programme commencing in October. The company will also commence an initial pre-feasibility study for the development and mining of the mineralisation using modern mechanised mining techniques at Zhongqu with a view to significantly increasing the mining production rates and more fully utilise the existing gold plant production capacity.

At Diebu, the Company has an Exploration Target estimate range of between 400,000 to 550,000 tonnes at 3.5 to 4.5 grams per tonne of gold. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. The Company's intention is to utilise modern Australian exploration practices to focus on determining a JORC Code Mineral Resource. Assuming a Resource determination, the Company intends to undertake additional exploration and mineralisation studies and more fully evaluate the scale of the any gold mineralisation present at Diebu and its production potential.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd"s strategy for long term growth includes expansion of existing gold mineralisation to JORC Resources by extensive drilling programmes within the JORC standards. The Company also intends to continue to evaluate and where possible acquire majority interests in other

Review of operations (continued)

gold projects including operating mines located in Qinling precinct including the provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan.

The Company is aware of the risks inherent in operating in foreign jurisdictions and has been mindful to develop strong relationships with its Chinese partners and to maintain an experienced team of advisors to assist the Company to meet its objectives.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

During November and December 2010 the company secured \$2.1m in seed funding in order to commence underground diamond drilling, fund the IPO process and for general working capital.

Other than those matters shown above, no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity occurred during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

On 4 July 2011 the Company"s prospectus was signed off by the Directors.

On 13 July 2011 the Company entered into an initial public offering which was aimed to obtain official listing on the Australian Stock Exchange by issuing 40,000,000 shares to raise a gross total of \$8,000,000 in capital in order to advance the transactions with Xuanrui as described above, to further enhance the Group"s ability to raise funds in future years to advance its strategic and operational plan, and to increase the tradability of the equity instruments of the Company.

On 12th August 2011 the Group advanced USD2 million to an Hong Kong trust account to satisfy its obligation under the Deibu Framework Agreement to be held in escrow until such time as certain regulatory and other conditions has been met with Lingbao Xuanrui. The Group is working with Xuanrui to achieve these conditions.

On 30 August 2011 the Company issued 10,000,000 unlisted options to brokers as lead manager options at a price of 20 cent per option with expiry date on 30 June 2014.

On 30 August 2011 the Company issued 909,110 unlisted options to Directors at a price of 25 cent per option with expiry date on 31 July 2014.

On 30 August 2011 the Company issued 909,110 unlisted options to Directors at a price of 35 cent per option with expiry date on 31 July 2016.

On 30 August 2011 the Company was admitted to the Official List of ASX Limited.

On 1 September 2011 the Company was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

On 2 September 2011 the Company appointed Andrew Richards as Chief Executive Officer.

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2011 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

  • (a) the consolidated entity"s operations in future financial years, or
  • (b) the results of those operations in future financial years, or
  • (c) the consolidated entity"s state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

Further information on likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of operations have not been included in this report because the directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity.

  • attracting and retaining senior executives and directors; and
  • not paying excessive remuneration.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd has structured a remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group.

The Company believes it is not of a size to justify having a Remuneration Committee and that it has Board processes in place which raise the issues which would otherwise be considered by a committee.

The remuneration structure that has been adopted by the Group consists of the following components:

  • Fixed remuneration being annual salary; and
  • Short term incentives, being employee share schemes and bonuses.

Executive directors" remuneration has been structured to reflect short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Company"s circumstances and goals.

Executive directors" and senior executives" remuneration packages involve a balance between fixed and incentive-based pay, reflecting short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Company"s circumstances and goals.

Remuneration Report (continued)

Non-executive directors" remuneration have been formulated with regard to the following guidelines: Non-executive directors will be remunerated by way of fees, in the form of cash, non-cash benefits, superannuation contributions or equity, usually without participating in schemes designed for the remuneration of executives;

Non-executive directors will not be provided with retirement benefits other than superannuation. No director is involved in setting their own remuneration or terms and conditions and in such a case relevant directors are required to be absent from the full Board discussion.

Principle 2.
A
description of the skills and experience of
each of the current Directors is contained in the
Directors"Report.
Based on the Company's early stages of
development and given the current size and
structure of the Board, it has not fully complied
with
Principle 2 of the ASX Principles. However,
it will seek to do so as it develops and the Board
grows.
To facilitate independent decision making, the
Board and any committees it convenes from
time to time may seek advice from independent
experts whenever it is considered appropriate.
With the consent of the Chairperson, individual
directors may seek independent professional
advice, at the expense of the Company, on any
matter connected with the discharge of their
responsibilities.
The policy for the appointment of new directors
is set out on the Corporate Governance
Statement on the Company's website.
Directors are
appointed for a term of 3 years before rotation by
retirement. Directors may seek shareholder approval
for a further term.
Due to the start up nature of the Company, not
all
Directors are considered Independent due to the
Founding shareholdings and consulting nature of
their services provided to the Company.
3 Promote ethical and responsible decision making
3.1 Companies should establish a code of
conduct and disclose the code or a summary
of the code as to:
• the practices necessary to maintain
confidence in the company"s integrity;
• the practices necessary to take into
account their legal obligations and the
reasonable expectations of their
stakeholders; and
• the responsibility and accountability of
individuals for reporting and investigating
reports of unethical practices.
The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct
which provides a framework for decisions and
actions in relation to ethical conduct in
employment.
The Code of Conduct is set out in Appendix A of
the
Corporate
Governance
Statement
on
the
Company"s website.
3.2 Companies should establish a policy
concerning diversity and disclose the policy
or a summary of that policy.
The policy should include requirements for the
board to establish measureable
The Board supports workplace diversity but
considers that the Company is not of a size or
maturity to justify a formal diversity
policy.
The Company has only recently been
listed.
ASX Corporate Governance Principle Company
Comments
objectives for achieving gender diversity and
for the board to assess annually both the objectives
and progress
in achieving them.
The Board"s priority has been to ensure that its
members have the appropriate level of
experience and skills to manage the Company
at its early stages of operation rather than
focussing on gender and other diversity factors.
3.3 Companies should disclose in each annual
report the measureable objectives for
achieving gender diversity set by the board
in accordance with the diversity policy and
progress towards achieving them.
The Company has not yet set the measurable
objectives however these will be considered by the
Board during its current term.
In addition, the Board
will review progress against any objectives identified
on an annual basis.
3.4 The Board should establish a nomination
committee. Companies should disclose in each
annual report the proportion of women employees
in the whole organisation, women in senior
executive positions and women on the board.
Due to the Company"s size and start up nature it
currently has no women in its organizational structure
and has not established a Nomination Committee.
3.5 Companies should provide the information
indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 3.
Due to its start up nature the Board has not yet set
• measurable objectives, or
• reported
progress against those objectives.
4 Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
4.1
4.2
4.3
The board should establish an audit
committee.
The audit committee should be structured so
that it:
• consists only of non-executive directors;
• consists of a majority of independent
directors;
• is chaired by an independent chair, who
is not chair of the board; and
• has at least three members.
The audit committee should have a formal charter.
The Board considers that the Company is not of
a size, nor are its financial affairs of such
complexity to justify the formation of an audit
committee.
The Board as a whole undertakes the selection
and proper application of accounting policies,
the integrity of financial reporting, the
identification and management of risk and
review of the operation of the internal control
systems.
4.4 Companies should provide the information
indicated in the Guide to reporting on
Principle 4.
When the Company has grown to a sufficient
size to warrant it, the Board will establish an
audit and risk committee to assist the Board in
monitoring and reviewing any matters of
significance affecting financial reporting and
compliance.

currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such
complexity to justify the formation of
a
remuneration committee.
The Board as a whole is responsible for the
remuneration arrangements for Directors and
executives of the Company and considers it
more appropriate to set aside time at Board
meetings each year to specifically address
matters
that
would
ordinarily
fall
to
a
remuneration
committee.
8.3 Companies should clearly distinguish the
structure of non-executive directors"
remuneration from that of executive directors and
senior executives.
The Board will distinguish the structure of non
executive
director"s
remuneration
from

8.4 Companies should provide the information
indicated in the Guide to reporting on
Principle 8.
When the Company has grown to a sufficient
size to warrant it, the Board will establish a
remuneration committee for the purposes of
reviewing and approving the executive
remuneration policy. The remuneration
committee shall comprise at least three
directors, with a majority of those directors being
independent non-executive directors. As at the
date of this statement, there are no schemes for
retirement benefits for non-executive Directors.

In relation to the above, the Directors believe that, notwithstanding the Company"s departures from the ASX Principles 2.1, 2.4, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 8.1 and 8.2 the Board has implemented suitable practices and procedures with respect to corporate governance, considering the size of the Board and the size and maturity of the Company. The Board wishes to acknowledge that nothing has come to its attention that would lead it to conclude that its current practices and procedures are not appropriate for an organisation of the size and maturity of the Company.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report contains the financial statements of the consolidated entity consisting of Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its subsidiary.

(a) Basis of preparation of the financial report

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Equivalents to International Financial Accounting Standards (AIFRS), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

(b) Critical accounting judgments and the key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Group"s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects both current and future periods. Refer to note 3 for further details.

(c) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Red Mountain Mining Ltd (''Company'' or ''parent entity'') as at 30 June 2011 and the results of all subsidiaries for the financial year then ended. Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the Consolidated Entity.

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Executive Director.

(d) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the revenue can be measured reliably. The following specific criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Interest income

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method.

All revenue stated is net of goods and services tax ("GST").

(e) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period"s taxable income based on the income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(g) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 120 days from the date of recognition.

Collectibility of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset"s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.

(h) Investments and other financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the statement of financial position.

(ii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group"s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

(i) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

(j) Contributed equity

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.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(k) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(l) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the Australian Taxation Office, are presented as operating cash flow.

(m) Foreign exchange

Both the functional and the presentation currency of Red Mountain Mining Limited is the Australian Dollar.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate of exchange of the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Resulting exchange differences are brought to account in determining the result for the period.

The functional currency of Red Mountain Mining (Hong Kong) Holdings Ltd is the Hong Kong Dollar. The functional currency of Red Mountain Mining Consulting (Shenyang) Co Ltd is the Chinese Yuan.

At the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the overseas subsidiary are translated into presentation currency of Red Mountain Mining Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at balance date and the statement of comprehensive income are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in equity.

(n) Impairment of assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset"s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset"s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss immediately. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cashgenerating unit) in prior years.

A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss immediately.

(o) Property, plant and equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset"s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset"s useful life to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Plant and equipment 18.75% – 50%

The assets" residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset"s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset"s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

(p) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight line basis over the term of the facility.

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in other income or other expenses.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

(q) Mineral exploration, evaluation and development expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest where we have the right of tenure. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are transferred to Mine Properties and amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review for impairment is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on a discounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

(r) Capital risk management

The Group"s and the parent entity"s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to fund investment opportunities and develop or secure access to a producing mining asset.

Consistently with others in the industry, the Group and parent entity monitor capital on the basis of working capital requirements.

During 2011, the Group"s strategy - which was unchanged from 2010 - was to maintain a current account balance sufficient to meet the Group"s day to day expenses with the balance held in commercial paper investments or term deposits.

(s) Changes in accounting policies

(i) Overall considerations

The Group has adopted the following revisions and amendments to AASB"s issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which are relevant to and effective for the Group's financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 July 2010:

  • Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project- AASB 2009-5
  • Improvements to IFRSs- AASB 2010-03.

Significant effects on current, prior or future periods arising from the first-time application of these new requirements in respect of presentation, recognition and measurement are described in notes (ii) to (iii). An overview of standards, amendments and interpretations to IFRSs and AASBs issued but not yet effective is given in note (iv).

(ii) Adoption of improvements to IFRSs 2009 – AASB 2009-5

The Improvements to IFRSs 2009 (issued as AASB 2009-5 Further amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project) made several minor amendments to IFRSs. The only amendment relevant to the Group relates to AASB 117 Leases. The amendment requires that leases of land are classified as finance or operating by applying the general principles of AASB 117. Prior to this amendment, AASB 117 generally required a lease of land to be classified as an operating lease. This change did not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

(iii) Adoption of Improvements to IFRSs 2010 - AASB 2010-3

The IASB has issued Improvements to IFRS 2010 (2010 Improvements) which was issued in Australia as AASB 2010-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvement Project. Most of these amendments become effective in annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 or 1 January 2011. The 2010 Improvements amend certain provisions of AASB 3, clarify presentation of the reconciliation of each of the components of other comprehensive income and clarify certain disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The 2010 Improvements did not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

(iv) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Group

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Group.

Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Group's accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the Group"s financial statements is provided below.

Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

IFRS 9 / AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2013)

The IASB aims to replace IAS 39 (AASB 139) Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety. The replacement standard (AASB 9) is being issued in phases. To date, the chapters dealing with recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities have been issued. These chapters are effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2013. Further chapters dealing with impairment methodology and hedge accounting are still being developed.

Management have yet to assess the impact that this amendment is likely to have on the financial statements of the Group. However, they do not expect to implement the amendments until all chapters of AASB 9 have been published and they can comprehensively assess the impact of all changes.

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (effective from 1 January 2013)

AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities.

The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. This will not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (effective from 1 January 2013)

AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly- controlled Entities – Nonmonetary Contributions by Ventures. AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control exists may change. In addition AASB 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves is accounted for by recognising the share of those assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets is accounted for using the equity method. This may result in a change in the accounting for the joint arrangements held by the group.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (effective from 1 January 2013)

AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity"s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structures entities. New disclosures have been introduced about the judgements made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective from 1 January 2013)

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted by IFRS. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets. IFRS 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined.

Note 2. Financial risk management

The Group"s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.

The Group"s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors. The Board identifies and evaluates financial risks in close co-operation with management and provides written principles for overall risk management.

(i) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, prudent oversight of future funding requirements and maintaining ongoing contact to facilitators of further funding.

It is the Group"s policy to review the Group"s liquidity position including cash flow forecasts to determine the forecast liquidity position and maintain appropriate liquidity levels.

The remaining contractual maturities of the Group"s financial liabilities are:

2011
\$
2010
\$
Three months or less 529,380 392,258
Greater than three months - 103,750
529,380 496,008

The Group funds its activities through capital raising in order to limit its liquidity risk.

(ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

As the Group"s major assets are cash deposits held in fixed and variable interest rate deposits, the Consolidated Entity"s income and operating cash flows are materially exposed to changes in market interest rates. The Consolidated Entity manages this risk by only investing in AAA rated institutions.

At balance date, the Group had the following exposure to Australian variable interest rate risk.

Cash and cash equivalents 446,894 145,561

Note 2. Financial risk management (continued)

At 30 June 2011, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the following table, with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit would have been affected as follows:

Judgments of reasonably possible movements:

Higher/(Lower)
2011 2010
\$ \$
Post tax profit
+1.0% (100 basis points) 4,469 1,456
-1.0% (100 basis points) (4,469) (1,456)

The Group deals with financial institutions that have a AAA rating.

(iii) Market Risk

Price risk - The Group is not exposed to equity securities price risk as it holds no investments in securities classified on the statement of financial position either as available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed directly to commodity price risk.

(iv) Credit Risk

The Group"s maximum exposures to credit risk at the reporting date in relation to each class of recognised financial asset is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position.

The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk.

(v) Currency risk

The Company"s subsidiary is based in Hong Kong and its sustainability is dependent on the provision of cash from the parent entity. Cash funds in Hong Kong are held in Hong Kong dollars and US dollars thus the Company is exposed to diminution of cash balances through currency exchange risk.

The Group"s subsidiary is based in China and its sustainability is dependent on the provision of cash from its parent entity. Cash funds in China are held in Chinese Yuan and US dollars thus the Group is exposed to diminution of cash balances through currency exchange risk.

(vi) Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

The carrying value approximates the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities.

Note 3. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

(i) Significant accounting judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

(ii) Exploration and evaluation assets

The Group"s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure is set out in note 1(q). The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves are found. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under this policy, the Directors conclude that the Group is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploration or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the statement of comprehensive income.

(iii) Principles of going concern

The Consolidated Entity recorded a loss of \$1,617,692 (2010: 628,165) for the year ended 30 June 2011 and had a net asset position of \$48,010 (2010: (\$338,652)). The directors reviewed the working capital requirements of the company for a relevant period of two years from the date of the directors" report, and determined that because of a successful initial public offering, listing and capital raising, the Group will be able to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due.

Note 4. Segment information

Activities in the operating segments are identified by management based on the manner in which resources are allocated, the nature of the resources provided and the identity of service line manager and country of expenditure. Discrete financial information about each of these areas is reported to the executive management team on a monthly basis.

Based on these criteria, management has determined that the Group has one operating segment being mineral exploration in China. As the Group is focused on mineral exploration, the Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred by area of interest. These areas of interest meet aggregating criteria and are aggregated into one reporting sector. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the company and its ongoing exploration activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.

Temporary differences – Overseas 204,039 204,039

The potential future income tax benefit will only be obtained if:

(i) the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;

(ii) the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

(iii) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit.

No deferred tax assets have been recognised due to the fact that it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilised.

The franking account balance at year end was nil.

(c) Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.

Effective 1 July 1998, the corporations legislation abolished the concepts of authorised capital and par value shares. Accordingly the Company does not have authorised capital nor par value in respect of its issued capital.

(d) Ordinary share issues

  • i) On 15 September 2009 a placement of 500,000 ordinary shares was made to a consultant for services.
  • ii) On 24 December 2009 a placement of 750,000 ordinary shares was made to a seed capitalist.
