Cautionary Statement

The Scoping Study referred to in this Annual Report is based on lower-level technical and economic assessments, and is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Scoping Study will be realised. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources (that represent 10% of the mining inventory in the Scoping Study) and there is no certainly that further exploration work will result in the determination of indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised. There is no certainty that the Scoping Study production targets or the forecast financial information derived from production targets, will be realised. All material assumptions underpinning the production targets and forecast financial information derived from the production targets, full details of which were released to ASX on 20 March 2014, continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Chairman’s Letter

Dear fellow Shareholder,

It gives me great pleasure to present to you, the Red Mountain Mining Annual Report for the year to 30 June 2014.

In a year in which domestic equity, capital and mineral commodities markets in Australia’s resources sector came under immense price and performance pressures, particularly for junior explorers, I am pleased to report that against this trend, Red Mountain achieved substantial progress at our Batangas gold project (Batangas Project) in the highly prospective Philippines region.

Our strategy to emerge as a significant gold developer was considerably advanced during the year. Whilst many gold juniors have necessarily abandoned their exploration plans, I am pleased to report that Red Mountain spent a high proportion of funds in-ground, completing extensive surface trenching and drilling programs that resulted in a substantial, 82% increase in contained gold resource ounces for the Lobo prospect and the identification of numerous targets for further exploration.

The substantial increase in gold resource ounces at Lobo contributed to a new, significantly increased JORC 2012 Indicated and Inferred gold resource of 6.19 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.2 grams per tonne gold for 444,000 ounces of gold (using a 0.85 g/t gold lower cut off) at Batangas, with potential upside through further exploration.

Another major achievement was the completion of a Scoping Study for the Batangas Project, demonstrating the viability of a gold mining and processing project initially mining the high grade Lobo resource areas, to be followed by mining the larger, lower grade, Archangel resources. Based on the success of the Scoping Study, your Board decided to immediately commence a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), which is anticipated to be completed by early 2015.

Importantly, the Scoping Study shows a potential A$40 million of free cashflow, from the production of 90,000 gold ounces over the initial 4.5 year mine life, including A$17 million pre-production capital potentially paid back in the first 14 months at an assumed gold price of A$1,500/ounce. Additionally, upgrades on existing gold resources could lead to a minimum 10 year mine life. Please refer to the Review of Operations for more detailed information.

The DFS, and how it points to future project financing options for Batangas and Red Mountain, will be a key milestone for your Company over the next 12 months.

At a financial level, Red Mountain launched, post balance date, a capital raising initiative that includes an underwritten Rights Issue available to all eligible shareholders. This will inject net funding of around $2.0 million into your Company’s exploration and development programs for 2014-2015, including funding to complete the DFS.

The success of the capital raising, against an unsympathetic equities market for juniors, means Red Mountain is now fully funded to conduct all of its scheduled drilling campaigns and complete the DFS. The Company remains debt free.

So our objectives for 2014-2015 are very clear: complete the DFS, and if favourable, initiate and implement financing and project partner discussions with a view to developing our first gold mine. In parallel with this strategy, we will work towards locating more, high-grade gold ounces at Lobo, to further underwrite the mine when it commences.

I thank, sincerely and deeply, the commitment of my fellow Directors, our strong management team and our advisors for their input and guidance over the past year. They have answered every challenge to ensure that we establish a pathway to build value for you, our shareholders.

Thank you for your support. We welcome your continued partnership with Red Mountain as we look to a promising year ahead.

Significant changes in state of affairs

Operations

On 20 March 2014 the Company completed a Scoping Study on the Batangas Gold Project in the Philippines (Batangas Project), with the assistance of Sedgman Limited on process engineering and design, and a number of Philippines based consultants. The Study confirmed the potential to develop a strongly viable, low capital, low operating cost gold mining and processing project based on open pit mining and carbon in leach processing of existing high grade gold resources, recovering 90,000 ounces of gold over 4.5 years. The Company has committed to completing a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), targeting December 2014.

On 3 April 2014, the Company announced its Philippines subsidiary has submitted the key permitting applications to the Philippines government that are necessary to allow development, mining and processing of the gold mining inventory at its Batangas Project.

On 8 May 2014, the Company officially commenced the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) on the Batangas Project in the Philippines. Any additional resources defined during the exploration program will be incorporated into the DFS.

On 30 June 2014, the Company announced an 82% gold ounces (or 37,000 ounces) increase in its total high grade resource at its Lobo Prospect within the Batangas Project, compared to the previous JORC 2004 compliant Mineral Resource estimate released on 30 January 2013. The new resource at Lobo includes re-estimated South West Breccia (SWB) figures, which include new drilling and trenching data, with Indicated resources increased from 93% to 98% of the total 221,000t @ 6.3g/t gold for 45,000 ounces gold. The increase to the Lobo resources contributed to a significantly increased JORC 2012 Indicated and Inferred gold resource of 6.19 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.2 grams per tonne gold for 444,000 ounces of gold.

Corporate

On 10 July 2013, Mr Keith Rowe, Non-executive Director of the Company, resigned.

On 14 August 2013, the Company completed a pro-rata renounceable rights issue, raising $2.2 million (after costs) from the oversubscribed shortfall placement. The Company issued 5,325,000 fully paid ordinary shares and 2,662,500 listed options exercisable at $0.03 each on or before 30 June 2016. The funds raised were used by the Company to conduct a drilling program testing defined, high-grade, epithermal gold exploration targets on its Lobo Prospect at the Batangas Project, and to complete the Scoping Study to demonstrate the viability of a gold mining project.

On 5 September 2013, the Company issued 8,636,950 fully paid ordinary shares at a deemed issue price of $0.01 per share, to consultants of the Company for the provision of professional services.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

The 12 months to 30 June 2014 saw Red Mountain Mining Ltd achieve several key milestones towards realising the Company’s dual strategy of developing an initial low cost, early payback, gold mining and processing operation whilst continuing exploration and building the high grade gold resource base at its Batangas Project, located two hours south of Manila in the Philippines. The key highlights during the year ended 30 June 2014 were:

  • Discovery of high grade gold mineralisation within a 500 metres strike extension of the SWB lode structure, one of five parallel epithermal structures totalling 15 kilometres strike length at the Lobo Prospect. A total of 21 new trenches included intersections of:

  • Trench 21: 6m @ 31.2 g/t Au (ASX release 12 February 2014);

  • Trench 7: 2m @ 31.1 g/t Au (ASX release 6 November 2014); and

  • Trench 13: 2.6m @ 28.6 g/t Au (ASX release 7 July 2014);

  • A diamond drilling program of 30 holes for 1,750 metres delineated the near surface gold mineralisation at SWB that remains open to the southwest under limestone, and intersected high grade gold-base metal mineralisation at Pica including PC-07: 2.5m @ 9.2 g/t Au, 38.4 g/t Ag, 8.6% Zn, 3.8% Pb (ASX release 30 September 2014);

  • Release of excellent metallurgical leaching results demonstrating very high gold leach recoveries of up to 96.7% for SWB oxide-transition resources, based on fine grinding (<45 micron) and 48 hours leaching time for a composite sample grading 8.8 g/t Au, and recoveries of up to 97.4% for Kay Tanda (West) oxide-transition resources, based on a standard grind size (75 micron) and 48 leaching time. The positive metallurgical results were incorporated into a Scoping Study, released on 20 March 2014 (see below);

  • Completion of the Scoping Study into the Batangas Project that showed projected cashflow of approximately A$57 million, including A$17 million of pre-production capital (gold price A$1,500/oz / US$1350/oz, exchange rate A$:US$ of 0.9), over the initial 4.5 year mine life;

  • Based on the positive Scoping Study results, commencement of a DFS for the Batangas Project;

  • Submission of final mine permitting applications to the Philippines Government on 30 March 2014, including permit submissions necessary to achieve Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility (DMPF) and Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) for an expanded 10 year mining operation; and

  • Release on 30 June 2014 of a significant JORC 2012 compliant Mineral Resource upgrade for the Lobo Prospect, including an 82% gold ounce increase to a total Indicated and Inferred figure of 604,000t at an average grade of 4.2 g/t Au, containing 82,000 ounces (oz) of gold . The total JORC 2012 Mineral Resource estimate for the entire Batangas Project, including the Archangel Prospect, now stands at an Indicated and Inferred total of 6.19mt @ 2.2 g/t Au, containing 444,000oz Au .

WHY THE PHILIPPINES

The Company’s flagship Batangas Project is located in the Philippines, on the main northern island of Luzon, only 120 kilometres south of the Philippines Capital, Manila (see Figure 1 below).

The Philippines, and particularly Luzon Island, is strongly endowed with major gold and copper-gold resources. Several major, low cost mining operations have been developed by Australian companies in the Philippines, including the Masbate gold project developed by CGA Mining; the Co-O gold project, developed by Medusa Mining and the Didipio Copper-Gold project, developed by OceanaGold. All of these major projects were approved and developed within the last 10 years.

The Company is well established at Batangas in the Philippines, with granted Mineral Production Sharing Agreements (MPSA’s – the Philippines equivalent of Mining Licences) over established resources, with immediate upside

exploration potential, and a development plan focussed on taking the initial low cost project to development and production.

The key to achieving production and exploration success in the Philippines is the support of the local communities and local government units. The Company’s Philippines subsidiary has been supporting community health, education and environmental projects over a 12 year period and has established a clean track record of safety and environmental performance.

BATANGAS GOLD PROJECT EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

General

The Batangas Project tenements cover an area of 270 square kilometres and include two key gold Mineral Resource areas located on MPSA’s at the Lobo and Archangel Prospects, and copper-gold exploration areas with some advanced prospects such as El Paso, Calo and Biga, on granted Exploration Permits (EP’s).

The Batangas Project is located within the Batangas mineral district, within a mineralised corridor termed the West Luzon Volcanic Arc (Rohrlach, 2012).

Gold and copper-gold mineralisation is hosted by the Talahib volcanics, a sequence of predominantly andesitic volcanics and intrusives exposed in the key resource areas at Lobo and Archangel.

At Lobo, high grade epithermal gold and copper-silver mineralisation occurs within the over 15 kilometre strike-length of epithermal vein-breccia hosting structures that have been mapped, of which only 1 kilometre has been tested by drilling to date. In addition, porphyry copper-gold mineralisation has been intersected at Lobo, underlying the epithermal vein mineralisation intersected at Pica.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report

At Archangel, gold and silver mineralisation is associated with extensive quartz stockwork veining and hydrothermal breccia’s hosted by shallow dipping andesitic volcanics. The stockwork mineralisation is variably preserved and overlies a complex of mineralised porphyritic dacite intrusions that represent targets for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation.

Lobo Gold Prospect Trenching and Drilling Results

Exploration during the 12 months to 30 June 2014 continued to focus on testing targets for high grade epithermal gold mineralisation within the five mapped epithermal structures at the Lobo Prospect, with a total strike length of over 15 kilometres. This program included completion and sampling of 21 trenches and 30 drillholes for 1,750 metres.

The highlight of this program was the discovery of high grade extensions to the SWB lode system. Trenching of a 500 metre strike length zone of intermittently exposed epithermal lode material produced exceptionally high grade results from three areas: Trench 7: 2m @ 31.1 g/t Au (ASX release 6 November 2013) and 3m @ 22.2 g/t Au (ASX release 7 January 2014), located 100 metres southwest of Japanese Tunnel; Trench 13: 2.6m @ 28.6 g/t Au (ASX release 7 January 2014) , located at the southwestern most lode exposure before the structure passes under younger limestone and Trench 19: 8.35m @ 18.3 g/t Au and Trench 21: 6.0m @ 31.2 g/t Au (ASX release 12 February 2014), located immediately west of the SWB resource (SWB Extended).

==> picture [471 x 354] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Plan of the Lobo epithermal lode structures with results and targets.

Drilling commenced testing under the high grade trenching results in February 2014. A total of 20 holes were completed within the SWB corridor for 837metres (see Figure 3 for locations).

==> picture [596 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report

Initial drilling results confirmed extensions to the surface mineralisation sampled in the trenches:

  • at SWB Extended where LB 93 intersected 3.95m @ 4.6 g/t gold (Au) from surface including 0.75m @ 15.8 g/t Au and 0.5m @ 7.16 g/t Au, 15.3 g/t silver (Ag) and LB92 intersected 1.5m @ 8.07 g/t Au from 5.25 metres downhole including 0.5m @ 12.0 g/t Au (ASX release 21 March 2014);

  • at Trench 13 where LB105 intersected 0.65m @ 18 g/t Au from 10 metres downhole depth, open to the southwest (ASX release 23 April 2014); and

  • between Japanese Tunnel and Trench 7, below Trench 20, where LB 103 intersected 1.5m @ 3.63 g/t Au from 38.7 metres downhole including 0.5m @ 4.73 g/t Au (ASX release 23 April 2014), indicating that the mineralisation weakens below the surface trench results but then strengthens with depth, associated with a flattening of the lode.

Trenching and drilling locations and results are shown in Figure 3 below:

==> picture [482 x 361] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: Plan of the SWB lode with results and resources.

Diamond drilling and trenching also tested the northern extent and at depth below the previous JORC 2004 SWB resource (ASX release 30 January 2013). A total of eight drill holes for 530 metres were completed, with the additional objectives of obtaining geotechnical information and providing metallurgical samples for testing, as part of the DFS program.

Peak intersections from the SWB lode drilling and trenching program included:

  • LB109: 6.7m @ 11.6 g/t Au from 9.3 metres and 18m @ 6.85 g/t Au from 31 metres (ASX release 7 May 2014);

  • LB 110: 6m @ 7.16 g/t Au from 43 metres including 3m @ 11.5 g/t Au (ASX release 7 May 2014);

  • LB115: 5.35m @ 8.18 g/t Au from surface including 1m @ 18.5 g/t Au (ASX release 10 June 2014);

  • Trench 17: 19.4m @ 8.24 g/t Au including 5.05m @ 15.7 g/t Au (ASX release 19 May 2014); and

  • Under Trench 13, LB 105: 0.65m @ 18.0 g/t Au from 10 metres (ASX release 23 April 2014).

Figure 4: Longitudinal projection of the SWB shoot, with recent results.

Two diamond drillholes for 384.75 metres were also completed at the Pica target (see Figure 2 for location).

Diamond drillhole PC-07 intersected a steeply dipping epithermal quartz-barite-sulphide vein and produced a high grade intersection of 2.5m @ 9.2 g/t Au, 28.4 g/t Ag, 8.6% Zinc (Zn) from 97.9 metres downhole, including 1.0m @ 14.2 g/t Au, 38.6 g/t Ag, 9.5% Zn . PC 07 also produced a thick porphyry copper-gold-zinc intersection of 141.85m @ 0.23 g/t Au, 0.19% Cu, 0.2% Zn including 100.4m @ 0.3 g/t Au, 1.56 g/t Ag, 0.2% Cu, 0.28% Zn from 54.5 metres depth downhole (ASX release 30 September 2014).

Exploration potential remains at Pica to define a high grade epithermal vein and/or porphyry Cu-Au-(Zn) resource.

Batangas Project Mineral Resource Upgrade

On 30 June 2014, the Company announced an upgraded Mineral Resource, prepared in accordance with JORC Code 2012, which included an increase of 37,000 oz, or an 82% increase in terms of gold ounces for the Lobo Prospect. The Company also reviewed and reported the Archangel Prospect Mineral Resource estimate in accordance with JORC Code 2012.

The Lobo Mineral Resource estimate now stands at a total Indicated and Inferred figure of: 604,000t at an average grade of 4.2 g/t gold, containing 82,000oz of gold . This includes a new resource estimate for SWB which includes new drilling and trenching data, with Indicated Resources increased from 93% to 98% of a total 221,000t at an average grade of 6.3 g/t Au containing 45,000oz of gold .

==> picture [596 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report

In addition to SWB, a maiden Mineral Resource estimate was released for Japanese Tunnel and West Drift (see Figure 2), both of which were drilled over the last 18 months.

The total Mineral Resource estimate for the entire Batangas Project, including the Archangel Prospect (Kay Tanda West and Kay Tanda Main zones, which remain unchanged) now stands at an Indicated and Inferred total of 6.19 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.2 g/t Au, containing 444,000oz Au , using a 0.85g/t Au cut off for potential open pit resources and 2.0g/t Au for potential underground resources.

Mineral Resources were estimated with the assistance of Optiro, minerals industry consultants based in West Perth, Western Australia. Summaries of the JORC Code 2012 Lobo and Archangel Mineral Resource estimates are presented in the ASX release dated 30 June 2014 with Tables 1(a) and 1(b) summarising parameters, QA-QC and methodology.

The Mineral Resources for the Batangas Project are summarised in the Table 1 below:

Metallurgical Results

On 24 January 2014, the Company released excellent results from metallurgical Carbon in Leach (CIL) testing demonstrating:

  • high gold recoveries of over 95% after fine grinding (<45 micron) and 48 hours of leaching of an oxide-transition composite sample grading 8.8 g/t Au from the high grade SWB Indicated Resource at the Lobo Prospect; and

  • high gold recoveries of over 97% after standard grinding (<75 micron) and 48 hours leaching for oxide and transition samples grading 2.1 g/t Au and 1.3 g/t Au respectively, from the Indicated Resource at Kay Tanda (West), Archangel Prospect.

Petrography on concentrates from the SWB sample indicate that fine gold occurs as both free grains and as occluded grains in sulphides, mostly pyrite. Average gold grain size is less than 50 micron, which may explain the jump in recovery between a grind size of 105 micron (75%) and 45 micron (>95%).

Gold recovery from the Kay Tanda West samples does not vary markedly between grinds, indicating that gold is accessible and coarser than for the SWB sample. The metallurgical test work was conducted by Minercon Laboratories (non NATA registered) based in Manila, Philippines and reviewed by Sedgman Limited before the results were incorporated into the Scoping Study.

Batangas Gold Project Scoping Study

On 20 March 2014, the Company announced the results of the Scoping Study into the viability of mining and processing existing gold resources at the Batangas Project. The Scoping Study confirmed a strongly viable, low capital and low operating cost gold mining and processing project that will potentially generate cash flow for Red Mountain of approximately A$57 million, including A$16.7 million pre-production capital, over the initial mine life of 4.5 years. This is after payment of sustaining capital, taxes, royalties and all other operating costs (and based on a gold price of US$1350/oz, at an exchange rate A$:US$ of 0.90).

The Scoping Study was entirely based on open pit mining and carbon in leach (CIL) processing of the high grade JORC 2004 resources released 30 January 2013, (now superseded by the 30 June 2014 upgrade to JORC 2012), of which 90% of the resources to be mined are in the Indicated category. The processing plant is intended to be located at Lobo, close to the very high grade SWB resource and local infrastructure, and 2 kilometres east of Lobo Township (see Figure 1).

Average annualised production is estimated at 20,000 oz gold, 46,000 oz silver per annum over the initial 4.5 years.

C1 cash operating costs (World Gold Council guidance June 2013 including royalties and site taxes, refining charges and by-product silver credits) are forecast to average A$769 per recovered gold oz (US$690/oz Au).

Initial production is planned to be open pit mining inventory from the high grade SWB resource on the granted Lobo mining permit (MPSA), following which it is intended that higher grade mining inventory from the Kay Tanda West resources will be transported from the granted Archangel MPSA, a distance of 12 kilometres by road, to the planned Lobo processing plant. Lower grade mining inventory (using a cut-off grade of 0.85 g/t Au) from the Kay Tanda West mine will be stockpiled for future processing as part of the 10 year extended mining plan submitted to the Philippines Government.

Based on the positive results of the Scoping Study, the Company submitted final permitting applications and commenced a DFS.

Permitting

On 30 March 2014, the Company’s Philippines subsidiary submitted the key permitting applications to the Philippines Government that are necessary to allow development, mining and processing of the gold mining inventory at the Batangas Project.

The permitting applications included the DMPF, Exploration Report and the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that, with other environmental permit applications, forms the submission for the grant of an ECC.

The DMPF seeks approval for an expanded 10 year mining operation that will initially focus on mining and processing the reported mining inventory from the SWB mineral resource, on the Lobo MPSA, then mining, transporting to Lobo and processing of the Kay Tanda West reported mining inventory, as detailed in the Company’s ASX release of 20 March 2014. It is anticipated that additional resources from Kay Tanda (Main) then lower grade stockpiles will be mined, transported and processed out to year 10 of the operation.

The objectives of the Company are to complete the DFS in parallel with progressing the Batangas Project to final permitting. Financing options will be reviewed upon completion of the DFS.

Definitive Feasibility Study

The Company commenced a DFS on the Batangas Project based on the positive outcomes of the Scoping Study.

Detailed surveying, further metallurgical testing, geotechnical work, an options study into low risk residue storage options, initial infrastructure studies and a new mining plan and schedule are in progress with the objective of producing a new production plan and initial costings for the financial model by September 2014. The DFS will then enter the design phase for the initial gold mining and processing project.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Company remains committed to safe and sustainable operations and maintaining its social and environmental “licence to operate” among the communities that surround its operations in the Philippines.

The Company’s safety, social and environment track record continues to be a strong focus. No lost time or serious medically treated injuries or environmental incidents were recorded on site during the 12 months ended 30 June 2014.

The Company recognises that any successful exploration and development venture must have the support of the impacted local communities. We encourage communities to become active partners in the development of the mineral resources found in their areas. The Company employs 54 Filipino employees, including 32 from the local BatangasLobo area. Many of these employees are involved, through our Philippines subsidiary MRL Gold Inc., in the Company’s well established social, community development and environmental programs that provide significant benefits to the local community.

The Company has submitted a new Social Development Management Plan to the Philippines Government for approval, alongside other permitting applications, for the Company’s planned gold mine development. The Company is looking forward to approval of the Batangas Project development plan, which we anticipate will provide many benefits to the local community.

EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR 2014 – 2015

The Company is focussed on realising the dual strategy of completing a DFS and achieving final permitting for the proposed Batangas Project development and, at the same time, continuing exploration, to build the high grade gold resource base.

In August 2014, the Company prioritised testing of five new high grade gold and silver-copper targets at its Lobo Prospect, following a detailed exploration target review for the entire Batangas Project.

The high priority gold and silver-copper-gold targets are generally at Lobo, where a new model for preserved “blind” high grade epithermal gold shoots has been developed based on evidence that a silica cap historically covered the high grade SWB resource and has since been eroded, exposing the high grade mineralisation within a 500 metre long window (ASX release 15 July 2014). Silica caps within the Lobo Prospect are generally carrying high silver-copper grades and they are still intact at the majority of the high priority targets within the 15 kilometre of mapped strike within the epithermal structures at Lobo.

Drilling has commenced testing the high priority targets, starting with the Camo target, where high grade silver-coppergold mineralisation at surface will be tested down plunge towards a potentially preserved high grade gold system. Sampling of other targets continues in preparation for further drilling.

The DFS and final permitting are on track to be completed by early 2015. At that stage, the Board of Red Mountain will assess the results of the DFS with the objective of reaching financial investment decision (FID) and potentially developing production.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report

Performance Rights granted during the year

At the Company’s AGM held 18 November 2013, shareholders approved a Performance Rights Plan (“PRP”) that is designed to provide incentives to the employees and Executive Directors of the Company and to recognise their contribution to the Company’s success subject to certain milestones being achieved. Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors consider that the issue of Performance Rights to employees and Executive Directors is a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide an incentive to employees and Executive Directors as opposed to alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration. Performance Rights are rights to acquire Shares subject to satisfaction of specified vesting conditions in a specified performance period (“Performance Rights”). 28 million Performance rights were issued to directors and executives as part of their remuneration under the Group’s PRP.

The following Performance Rights were granted during the year:

Vesting conditions of the Performance Rights issued during the year are as follows:

Class A Performance Rights shall vest and convert to Shares if:

  • (i) the price of the Company’s shares as traded on ASX is at least 3 cents or more for thirty (30) consecutive trading days; and

  • (ii) the recipient remains an employee/director of the Company for twelve (12) months from the date of grant of the Class A Performance Rights, prior to the Class A Expiry Date (as defined above).

  • Class B Performance Rights shall vest and convert to Shares if:

  • (i) the price of the Company’s shares as traded on ASX is at least 5 cents or more for thirty (30) consecutive trading days; and

  • (ii) the recipient remains an employee/director of the Company for twenty four (24) months from the date of grant of the Class B Performance Rights, prior to the Class B Expiry Date (as defined above).

  • Class C Performance Rights shall vest and convert to Shares if:

  • (i) the price of the Company’s shares as traded on ASX is at least 7 cents or more for thirty (30) consecutive trading days; and

  • (ii) the recipient remains an employee/director of the Company for thirty six (36) months from the date of grant of the Class C Performance Rights, prior to the Class C Expiry Date (as defined above).

Performance Rights that do not vest in accordance with their terms and conditions will automatically lapse.

Share-based payments

Options without market based vesting conditions can be exercised at any time following vesting up to expiry date, and as such are more suitable valued using a binomial option pricing model. Option pricing models assume that the exercise of an option does not affect the value of the underlying asset. There were no options granted as share-based payments during the year.

Nomination and Remuneration Committee

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is a committee of the Board. It is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:

  • the over-arching remuneration framework;

  • operation of the incentive plans which apply to the Executive team, including key performance indicators and performance hurdles;

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report

  • remuneration levels of executive directors and other KMP; and

  • Non-executive Directors fees.

The Committee’s objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Group.

The members of the Committee, consisting of only Non-executive Directors for the 2014 financial year are:

  • Neil Warburton (appointed 15 July 2013);

  • Keith Rowe (resigned 10 July 2013); and

  • Michael Wolley.

The Nomination and Remuneration and Nomination Committee is governed by its Charter, which was developed in line with ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. Full details of the roles and responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are detailed in the Corporate Governance Statement of this Annual Report and can be accessed on the Company’s website.

(c) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The principles of the Group’s executive strategy and supporting incentive programs and frameworks are:

  • motivating senior executives to pursue the long-term growth and success of the Group;

  • demonstrating a clear relationship between senior executives’ performance and remuneration;

  • attracting and retaining senior executives and Directors; and

  • not paying excessive remuneration.

Red Mountain Mining has structured a remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group. The remuneration packages are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and evaluation is based on specific criteria including business performance of the Company (e.g. share price, market capitalisation, performance against budget) and its subsidiaries, whether company objectives are being achieved and the development of management and personnel. The remuneration structure that has been adopted by the Group consists of the following components:

  • Fixed remuneration being annual salary;

  • Short term incentives, being cash bonuses; and

  • Long term incentives, being employee share schemes.

Executive Directors’ remuneration has been structured to reflect short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Group’s circumstances and company objectives.

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 Group’s circumstances and strategic objectives.

Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration has 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 (being shares, options, performance rights and other share-based payments. Refer to section (f) of the Remuneration Report for details), 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;

  • Non-Executive Directors do not have other responsibilities incurring fees beyond the director fees; and

  • 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 is currently set at $500,000.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report

Use of remuneration consultants

The Group did not engage external remuneration consultants for the financial year ended 30 June 2014. However, in 2013 the remuneration committee approved the engagement of Squire Sanders in accordance with Section 206K Corporations Act, for remuneration consulting services regarding service contracts key management personnel and to provide report containing remuneration recommendations to the remuneration committee. The Board is satisfied that remuneration information and guidance provided by Squire Sanders was free of undue influence.

Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2013 Annual General Meeting (“AGM”)

At the 2013 AGM, 64.47% of votes received were against the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2013. The Company was given a “first strike” at the November 2013 Annual General Meeting, as more than 25% of votes cast were against the motion to adopt the Remuneration Report.

The Directors subsequently discussed the Remuneration Report with key shareholders namely Mindoro Resources who was the major shareholder at that time. These discussions highlighted various remuneration packages and percentage of total expenditure used to remunerate executives and Directors. The Board has subsequently addressed these concerns.

A vote against the adoption of the 2014 Remuneration Report of 25% or more of the votes cast at the 2014 Annual General Meeting will trigger a requirement for a spill resolution to be put to the 2014 Annual General Meeting. If this resolution receives a simple majority of votes cast, the Company will be required to hold a further general meeting within 90 days at which all Directors (other than the managing director) in office at the date of the second approved remuneration report must stand for re-election (known as a ‘spill meeting’).

Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board have regard to the following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous four financial years:

2014 2013 2012

2 Structure the board to add value
2.1 A majority of the Board should be
independent.
Currently the Board is comprised of only one independent
Director, Mr Michael Wolley. The Chairman, Mr Neil
Warburton, is not considered independent as he held an
executive role from 3 April 2012 to 1 May 2013. However,
from 1 May 2013 Mr Warburton has acted in a non-executive
capacity. Managing Director, Mr Jon Dugdale, is not
considered independent as a result of his current executive
role.
Notwithstanding that the current composition of the Board
does not meet the requirements of ASX Principle 2, the Board
considers that the composition of the Board is adequate for
the Company's current size and operations, and includes an
appropriate mix of skills and expertise, relevant to the
Company's business. The Board has formed the view that the
individuals on the Board can, and do make quality judgments
in the best interests of the Company on all relevant issues.
Directors having a conflict of interest in relation to a
particular item of business must absent themselves from
the Board meeting before commencement of discussion
on the topic.
2.2 The Chair should be an independent
Director
The current Chair is Mr Neil Warburton, who is not
considered independent as, while he is currently non-
executive, he held an executive role from 3 April 2012 to 1
May 2013.
Notwithstanding he is not considered independent, Mr
Warburton is considered suitable to the position as he has
considerable experience and is well qualified for the position.
The Board believes Mr Warburton is able to and does bring
impartial judgment to all relevant issues falling within the
scope of Chair.
2.3 The roles of Chair and Chief Executive
Officer should not be exercised by the same
individual.
The Company currently complies with this recommendation
as the current Chair is Mr Neil Warburton, while Mr Jon
Dugdale is the Company’s Managing Director.
2.4 The Board should establish an Nomination
Committee. The Nomination Committee
should be structured so that it:
• consists of a majority of independent
directors;
• is chaired by an independent director;
and
• has at least three members.

The Company’s Nomination and Remuneration Committee
was established in May 2012.
The Company has adopted a formal Nomination and
Remuneration
Committee
Charter,
available
on
the
Company’s website, which includes information on the
Company’s approach to selection and appointment of
Directors. The Committee undertakes the process of
reviewing the skill base and experience of existing
Directors to enable identification or attributes required in
new Directors. Where appropriate, independent consultants
will be engaged to identify possible new candidates for the
Board.
For the duration of the 2014 financial year, the Nomination
and Remuneration Committee was comprised of Mr Michael

Wolley, as independent chair, and Non-executive Chairman,
Mr Neil Warburton. The Company has considered the ASX
Corporate Governance Council’s guidelines in relation to
director independence, and concludes that Mr Warburton is
not considered independent due to his previous executive
position with the Company.
While the structure of the Nomination and Remuneration does
not currently meet the requirements of ASX Principle 2, the
Company considers the composition is adequate for the
Company’s current size and operations. This position will be
regularlyreviewed bythe Board.
2.5 Companies should disclose the process
for evaluating the performance of the
Board,
its Committees and individual
Directors.


A process has been established to review and evaluate the
performance of the Board, individual Directors and senior
executives on a bi-annual basis. The Board is required to meet
bi-annually with the specific purpose of reviewing the role of
the Board, assessing the performance of the Board and
individual Directors over the previous 12 months and
examining ways in which the Board can better perform its
duties. The Company held an annual Board review during the
reporting year.
The Managing Director is responsible for assessing the
performance of the key executives within the Company.
Performance evaluations of senior executives were conducted
duringtheperiod.
2.6 Companies should provide the information
indicated in the_Guide to reporting on_
Principle 2.


The current Directors have a broad range of qualifications,
experience and expertise in the mining operations, industrial
and finance industries. A description of the skills and
experience of each of the current Directors is contained in the
Directors’ Report.
Given the Company's early stage 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 in
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.

Diversity Policy covers gender, age, ethnicity and cultural
background. It includes a requirement that the Board
establish measurable objectives for achieving gender
diversity, with progress in achieving these objectives
assessed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee. Due to the current nature and scale of Red
Mountain’s activities, the Board has not established
measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity but
will review thisposition on a regular basisgoingforward.
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 established the measurable
objectives for achieving gender diversity 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 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.


The table below shows the proportion of women employees
in the whole organization, women in senior executive
positions and women on the Board:
Board: Nil of a Board of three.
Senior Executive: Nil of two Senior Executives. However
the Company notes that the contracted positions of
Financial Controller and Company Secretary are both held
by women.
Employees: 17%

4 Safeguard integrity in financial reporting Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
4.1 The Board should establish an Audit
Committee.
The Company established an Audit and Risk Committee in
May 2012. The role of the Audit Committee is to assist the
Board to meet its oversight responsibilities in relation to the
Company’s financial reporting, internal control structure,
financial risk management procedures and external audit
function. In doing so, it is the Committee’s responsibility to
maintain free and open communication between the
Committee, the external auditors and the management of
Red Mountain.
The Company has prepared a formal Audit and Risk
Committee Charter, available from the Company’s website,
which promotes an environment consistent with best
practice financial reporting and includes information on
procedures for the selection and appointment of the external
auditor and for the rotation of external audit engagement
partners.
4.2 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.


For the duration of the financial year, the Audit and Risk
Committee was comprised of Mr Michael Wolley, who
acted as independent Chair, and Non-executive Chairman
Mr Neil Warburton.
The Board has considered the ASX Corporate Governance
Council’s guidelines in relation to Director independence,
and concludes that Mr Warburton is not considered
independent due to his previous executive position with the
Company. However, the Directors (other than Mr
Warburton) consider that Mr Warburton has considerable
relevant experience and is well qualified for the position.
The Board believes Mr Warburton is able to and does bring
impartial judgment to all relevant issues falling within the
scope of Audit and Risk Committee.
4.3 The Audit Committee should have a
formal charter.

The Audit and Risk Committee Charter was adopted during
the reporting period.
4.4 Companies should provide the information

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) General Information

Red Mountain Mining Limited (“Red Mountain Mining” or the “Company”) is a limited company incorporated in Australia. The address of its registered office is Unit 1, 2 Richardson Street, West Perth, Western Australia.

(b) Statement of Compliance

Red Mountain Mining is a for-profit entity. These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Accounting Standards (IFRS), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 .

These financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of Red Mountain Mining and its controlled entities (“the Group”).

(c) Basis of preparation of the financial report

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost convention and the accrued basis, as explained in the accounting policies below.

(d) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

The Company has adopted all the new and revised AIFRSs that are relevant to its operations and effective for the reporting period starting from 1 July 2013.

At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Company has not applied the new Standards and Interpretations that were in issue but not yet effective.

(e) 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 recognised 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.

(f) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by the Company as at 30 June 2014 and the results of all controlled entities for the financial year then ended. The Company and its controlled entities 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 parent entity has control if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiaries and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiaries, 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.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised income and expenses on transactions between group companies are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(g) Segment reporting

Operating segments are components of the Group that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses. They are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as the Board of Directors (“Board”).

(h) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable 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 income is recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method.

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

(i) Income tax

The income tax expense for the reporting period is the tax payable on the current financial year’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.

(j) Imputation Credits

Pursuant to AASB 1054, Imputation Credits that will arise from the payment of the amount of the provision for income tax or the receipt of dividends are recognised as receivables at the reporting date. The disclosure of Imputation Credits shall be made separately in respect of any Australian imputation credits. To date, the Imputation Credits for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 is nil.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

==> picture [596 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

(k) 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.

(l) 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.

Collectability 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 consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

(m) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position.

(2) Financial Assets

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, 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.

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 reporting sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the statement of financial position

(3) Financial Liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements.

Financial liabilities are non-derivative financial liabilities that are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Upon initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

(4) Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on a trade date basis – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liability is recognised when the Group becomes a party of the contractual provision of the financial instrument.

46

==> picture [596 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual 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. Upon derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying value and the sum of consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligations specified in the contract are discharged or cancelled or expire. Upon derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of liability derecognized and consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

(n) 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 30 days end of month. Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

(o) 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.

(p) Earnings per share

(1) 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.

(2) 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.

(q) Goods and services tax (GST) and Valued added tax (VAT)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST/VAT, unless the GST/VAT incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office/Philippines JRS. 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/VAT receivable or payable. The net amount of GST/VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office/Philippines JRS is included with other receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

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

(r) Foreign currency translation

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 prevailing at that transaction date. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Gains and losses arising from this translation policy are recognised in profit or loss.

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. The functional currency of Red Mounting Mining (Singapore) Pte Ltd is Singapore Dollar. The functional currency of MRL Gold Inc and Egerton Gold Philippines Inc is Philippines Peso.

At the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the overseas subsidiaries are translated into presentation currency of Red Mountain Mining Limited at the rate prevailing at the reporting date and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in equity.

(s) 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).

The 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.

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.

(t) Property, plant and equipment

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

Equipment is measured on the cost basis less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The carrying amount of equipment is reviewed annually by the Board 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.

R E D M O U N T A I N M I N I N G L T D

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

==> picture [596 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group 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.

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

(u) Provisions for employee benefits

All employees of the group are entitled to benefits from the group’s superannuation plan on retirement, disability or death or can direct the group to make contributions to a defined contribution plan of their choice. The group’s superannuation plan has a defined benefit section and a defined contribution section. The defined benefit section provides defined lump sum benefits based on years of service and final average salary. The defined contribution section receives fixed contributions from group companies and the group’s legal or constructive obligation is limited to these contributions.

The liability or asset recognised in the Statement of Financial Position in respect of defined benefit superannuation plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognised past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using market yields of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. In countries where there is a deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the market rates on those bonds are used.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.

Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the changes to the superannuation fund are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past service costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Contributions to the defined contribution section of the group’s superannuation plan and other independent defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

(a) Short-term benefits

Salaries and wages, paid annual vacation and sick leave credits and other non-monetary benefits are accrued during the period in which the related services are rendered by employees of the Company. Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis.

(b) Retirement benefits

The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan which is a retirement plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on certain factors such as age, years of credited service, and compensation.

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 4

49

==> picture [596 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

The liability recognized in the statements of financial position in respect of the defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets.

The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity which approximate the terms of the related retirement liability.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in financial and demographic assumptions are charged or credited as ‘remeasurements’ to other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise, unless it is included as part of an asset.

Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

(c) Termination benefit

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to a termination when the entity has a detailed formal plan to terminate the employment of current employees without possibility of withdrawal. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the reporting date are discounted to present value.

Liabilities for employee benefits are derecognised when the obligation is settled, cancelled or has expired.

(v) Operating Lease

A lease that does not substantially transfer to the Group all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as operating lease. For operating leases, lease payments (excluding costs for services such as insurance and maintenance) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(w) 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

(x) Share-based payment transactions

Equity settled transactions:

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

There is currently an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) in place to provide these benefits to directors, senior executives and employees. The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using a Black-Scholes model, further details of which are given in Note 22.

Performance rights were issued to directors and executives under the Group’s Performance Rights Plan approved at the annual general meeting held on 18 November 2013. The value of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value is determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation over 100,000 iterations to calculate on the average number of performance rights passing the performance condition. This model also takes into account the probability at the grant date the fair value as required for market based conditions per AASB 2. Refer to Note 22 for further details.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Red Mountain Mining Ltd (market conditions), if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects:

  • (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and

  • (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

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. In addition, an 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 had 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.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to fund investment opportunities and develop or secure access to a producing mining asset.

Consistently with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of working capital requirements.

During 2014, the Group’s strategy - which was unchanged from 2013 - was to maintain a current account balance sufficient to meet the Group’s day to day expenses with the balance held in term deposits.

(z) Changes in accounting policies

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted with no effect on consolidated financial statements

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the consolidated entity from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations are disclosed below. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 10 from 1 July 2013, which has a new definition of 'control'. Control exists when the reporting entity is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with another entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its 'power' over that other entity. A reporting entity has power when it has rights that give it the current ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee's returns. The consolidated entity not only has to consider its holdings and rights but also the holdings and rights of other shareholders in order to determine whether it has the necessary power for consolidation purposes.

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 11 from 1 July 2013. The standard defines which entities qualify as joint arrangements and removes the option to account for joint ventures using proportional consolidation. Joint ventures, where the parties to the agreement have the rights to the net assets are accounted for using the equity method. Joint operations, where the parties to the agreements have the rights to the assets and

obligations for the liabilities, will account for its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses separately under the appropriate classifications.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

lidated entity has applied AASB 12 from 1 July 2013. The standard contains the entire disclosure requirement associated with other entities, being subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements (joint operations and joint ventures) and unconsolidated structured entities. The disclosure requirements have been significantly enhanced when compared to the disclosures previously located in AASB 127 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements', AASB 128 'Investments in Associates', AASB 131 'Interests in Joint Ventures' and Interpretation 112 'Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities'.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 13 and its consequential amendments from 1 July 2013. The standard provides a single robust measurement framework, with clear measurement objectives, for measuring fair value using the 'exit price' and provides guidance on measuring fair value when a market becomes less active. The 'highest and best use' approach is used to measure non-financial assets whereas liabilities are based on transfer value. The standard requires increased disclosures where fair value is used.

AASB 119 Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011)

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 119 and its consequential amendments from 1 July 2013. The standard eliminates the corridor approach for the deferral of gains and losses; streamlines the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans, including requiring remeasurements to be presented in other comprehensive income; and enhances the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The standard also changed the definition of short-term employee benefits, from 'due to' to 'expected to' be settled within 12 months. Annual leave that is not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months is now discounted allowing for expected salary levels in the future period when the leave is expected to be taken.

AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements (Revised), AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (Reissued) and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 127, AASB 128 and AASB 2011-7 from 1 July 2013. AASB 127 and AASB 128 have been modified to remove specific guidance that is now contained in AASB 10, AASB 11 and AASB 12 and AASB 2011-7 makes numerous consequential changes to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations. AASB 128 has also been amended to include the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures.

AASB 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2012-2 from 1 July 2013. The amendments enhance AASB 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' and requires disclosure of information about rights of set-off and related arrangements, such as collateral agreements. The amendments apply to recognised financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.

AASB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 20092011 Cycle

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2012-5 from 1 July 2013. The amendments affect five Australian Accounting Standards as follows: Confirmation that repeat application of AASB 1 'First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards' is permitted; Clarification of borrowing cost exemption in AASB 1; Clarification of the comparative information requirements when an entity provides an optional third column or is required to present a third statement of financial position in accordance with AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Statements'; Clarification that servicing of equipment is covered by AASB 116 'Property, Plant and Equipment', if such equipment is used for more than one period; clarification that the tax effect of distributions to holders of equity instruments and equity transaction costs in AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Presentation' should be accounted for in accordance with AASB 112 'Income Taxes'; and clarification of the financial reporting requirements in AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the disclosure requirements of segment assets and liabilities.

AASB 2012-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Transition Guidance and Other Amendments The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2012-10 amendments from 1 July 2013, which amends AASB 10 and related standards for the transition guidance relevant to the initial application of those standards. The amendments clarify the circumstances in which adjustments to an entity's previous accounting for its involvement with other entities are required and the timing of such adjustments.

AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirement

The consolidated entity has applied 2011-4 from 1 July 2013, which amends AASB 124 'Related Party Disclosures' by removing the disclosure requirements for individual key management personnel ('KMP'). Corporations and Related Legislation Amendment Regulations 2013 and Corporations and Australian Securities and Investments Commission Amendment Regulation 2013 (No.1) now specify the KMP disclosure requirements to be included within the directors' report.

The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2014. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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.

The Board meets regularly to analyse and monitor the financial risks associated to the business operations.

(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.

The Group has implemented a creditors policy, authorisation matrix and purchase order system in order to consistently improve the quality of control over contractual obligations, cash flow and budgeting.

It is the Group’s policy to review the Group’s liquidity position including cash flow forecasts, actual cash flows and variation reports regularly to determine the forecast liquidity position and maintain appropriate liquidity levels.

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

The Group does not have any unused credit facilities.

(ii) Market risk

Fair value interest rate risk

As the Group’s major assets are cash deposits held in fixed and variable interest rate deposits, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are materially exposed to changes in market interest rates. The Group manages this risk by only investing in A+ rated institutions and maintaining an appropriate mix between different terms.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

Weighted average interest rate for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 was 2.09%. At 30 June 2014, if interest rates had been 1% higher or lower than the prevailing rates realised, with all other variables held constant, the effect on post-tax profit as a result of changes in the interest rates would be as follows:

Currency risk

The Group’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, US dollars and Australian Dollars. 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. The Group’s subsidiary is based in Singapore and its sustainability is dependent on the provision of cash from its parent entity. Cash funds in Singapore are held in Singapore Dollars. The Group’s subsidiary based in the Philippines is dependent on the provision of cash from the parent entity. Cash funds in Philippines are held in US Dollars and Philippines Peso thus the Group is exposed to diminution of cash balances through currency exchange risk.

The Group manages its currency risks by closely monitoring exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign currency risk sensitivity analysis

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:

30 June 2014 USD
Cash and cash equivalents 247,929
Trade and other receivables -
Trade and otherpayables -
Total foreign currencies 247,929
Total converted into AUD 262,656
30 June 2013 USD
Cash and cash equivalents 256,856
Trade and other receivables -
Trade and otherpayables -
Total foreign currencies 256,856
Total converted into AUD 280,847

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2014, had the Australian dollar strengthened/weakened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post-tax profit for the financial year would have been $26,266 lower/higher (2013: $28,085 lower/higher), mainly as a result of foreign exchange losses/gains on translation of US dollar denominated financial instruments as detailed in the above table. Profit or loss is more sensitive to movements in AUD/USD exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

Fair value measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)

  • inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2), and

  • inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

All financial assets and liabilities have been recognised at the reporting date at their net fair values.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturity. - Receivables and payables: The carrying amount approximates fair value.

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.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(iii) Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Group does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to the customers. The credit risk of the Group arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, available- for-sale financial assets, as well as credit exposure to customers, including outstanding receivables. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum Standard & Poor’s credit rating of A (or equivalent) are accepted. The Group assesses credit risk and allowance for doubtful accounts on a customer specific basis. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties. As of 30 June 2014 and 2013, the Group does not have an allowance for doubtful debt accounts.

The maximum credit risk exposure of the Group at 30 June 2014 is $1,719,452 with $1,424,381 with AArated institutions and $295,071 with B rated institutions (2013: $991,235). There are no impaired receivables at 30 June 2014 (2013: Nil).

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, net of any provision for doubtful debts, of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position.

Note 3. Critical accounting estimates and judgments and assumptions

(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(w). 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 consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

(iii) Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options issued is determined by using Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. For performance rights issued, the fair value is determined by using a MonteCarlo simulation taking into account the probability of meeting the market based conditions at grant date. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

(iv) Retirement benefits liability

The present value of the pension obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for pensions include the discount rate, mortality rate and salary rate increase. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations.

R E D M O U N T A I N M I N I N G L T D

60

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

==> picture [596 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension obligation.

Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based in part on current market conditions.

(v) Income taxes

A certain degree of judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, as there are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Further, recognition of deferred income taxes depends on the management’s assessment of the probability of available future taxable income against which the temporary differences can be applied. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of deferred income taxes at each reporting date and reduces deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Accordingly, the Group did not recognize deferred tax assets in respect of deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses and credits.

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.

Note 22. Share-based payments (cont’d)

Vesting conditions of the Performance Rights issued during the year are as follows:

  • Class A Performance Rights shall vest and convert to Shares if:

  • (i) the price of the Company’s shares as traded on ASX is at least 3 cents or more for thirty (30) consecutive trading days; and

  • (ii) the recipient remains an employee/director of the Company for twelve (12) months from the date of grant of the Class A Performance Rights, prior to the Class A Expiry Date (as defined above).

  • Class B Performance Rights shall vest and convert to Shares if:

  • (i) the price of the Company’s shares as traded on ASX is at least 5 cents or more for thirty (30) consecutive trading days; and

The fair value is determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation to calculate the average number of performance rights passing the performance condition based on the following:

Shareprice $0.024
Volatility 200%
Risk free rate 2.99%

Note 25. Dividend

The Board does not recommend the payment of a dividend for the financial year ended 30 June 2014. No dividends were paid during the financial year.

Note 26. Operating Segments

Red Mountain Mining Limited operates predominantly in one industry being the mining and exploration industry in Australia and Philippines.

Segment Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Company is managed primarily on the basis of its gold exploration in the Philippines and its corporate activities. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics.

Note 26. Operating Segments (cont’d)

Types of reportable segments

(i) Gold exploration

Segment assets, including acquisition cost of exploration licenses and all expenses related to the tenements in Philippines are reported on in this segment.

(ii) Corporate

Corporate, including treasury, corporate and regulatory expenses arising from operating an ASX listed entity. Segment assets, including cash and cash equivalents, and investments in financial assets are reported in this segment.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Company.

Segment assets

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have not been allocated to operating segments.

Segment liabilities

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables.

There are no restrictions or conditions on other capital raising activities the Company may wish to undertake.

On 13 September 2014, the Company announced its Placement and underwritten Rights Issue to raise a total of approximately $2 million (before costs) to fund drilling priority targets and to complete feasibility study and permitting.

Note 29. Acquisition of Exploration and Evaluation Assets

On 24 July 2012, the Company signed a binding Share Sale Agreement (SSA) with Mindoro Resources Limited (Mindoro) to acquire Mindoro’s gold and copper gold assets in the Philippines in consideration for 100,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares and 50,000,000 performance shares. On 30 October 2012, upon the completion of the acquisition, the Company, via subsidiaries, obtained a 100% interest in the Batangas Project and a 75% interest in the Tapian San Francisco Project. Transfer of certain tenements is subject to further restructure, to be completed within 12 months of closing.

The transaction is not a business combination as the Company’s acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business as defined in the Australian Accounting Standards. The substance and intent was for the Company to acquire the exploration and evaluation assets in the Philippines for the purpose of building the Company’s resource base in line with the Company’s strategy. Therefore, this transaction has been accounted for under AASB2 Share Based Payments.

Pursuant to the SSA, the Company issued 10,000,000 options to Cygnet Capital and 5,000,000 options to Zeffron Reeves subsequent to the completion of the acquisition.

The fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition and share based payments are outlined as follows:

Red Mountain Mining Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Declaration Annual Mineral Resource Statement

The Company reviews and reports its Mineral Resources at least annually. The date of reporting is 30 June each year, to coincide with the Company’s end of financial year balance date. If there are any material changes to its Mineral Resources over the course of the year, the Company is required to promptly report these changes.

On 30 June 2014, Red Mountain released its revised Mineral Resource Statement (“Mineral Resource Statement”) for the Company’s Batangas gold project in the Philippines in compliance with the 2012 edition of the JORC Code. The upgraded resource as described in the Mineral Resource Statement was calculated after the completion of an exploration programme by Red Mountain and is based on information from 50 drillholes for 4,980 metres, and the associated laboratory results.

==> picture [476 x 358] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Locality of the Batangas Gold Project in the Philippines.

In completing the annual review for the year ended 30 June 2014, the historical resource factors were reviewed and found to be relevant and current. The Batangas Gold Project has not been converted to an active operation yet and hence no resource depletion has occurred for the review period.

The Resource Statement

The current Mineral Resource Statement for the Batangas Gold Project is shown in Table 1 below. The geographical distribution of the Mineral Resources, located within the Lobo Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) area and Archangel MPSA area, are shown in Figure 1 above.

Table 1: Mineral Resource Statement (ASX Release 30 June 2014).

Material Changes and Mineral Resource Statement Comparison

On 30 January 2013, the Company reported Indicated Resources of 2.76 million tonnes @ 2.3 g/t Au, 208,000 oz Au and Inferred Resources of 3.02 million tonnes @ 2.1 g/t Au, 200,000oz Au for a total of 5.78 million tonnes at 2.2 g/t Au, 408,000oz Au at Batangas, at a 0.85 g/t Au lower cut off (30 January 2013, JORC 2004).

On 30 June 2014, the Company upgraded its previously reported Mineral Resource in accordance with JORC 2012 to a total of 6.19 million tonnes @ 2.2 g/t Au, containing 444,000oz Au , using a 0.85g/t Au cut off for potential open pit resources and 2.0g/t Au for potential underground resources (West Drift only).

Relative to the 30 January 2013 Mineral Resource statement, this represented an increase of 37,000 oz Au, an approximately 82% increase in terms of gold ounces on the Lobo MPSA, and 9% increase in terms of gold ounces overall, from the previously reported Mineral Resource.

The increase is due to the following factors:

  • The inclusion of re-estimated South West Breccia (SWB), Lobo MPSA, figures which included new drilling and trenching data, with Indicated Resources increased from 93% to 98% of the total SWB Mineral Resource to 221,000t @ 6.3 g/t Au for 45,000oz Au; and

  • The release of maiden Mineral Resource estimates for the Japanese Tunnel and West Drift Prospects, also on the Lobo MPSA, both of which were drilled over the 18 months prior to release of the upgraded Mineral Resource.
