CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Redstone Resources Limited (Redstone) listed on the Australian Stock Exchange on 3 August 2006, following a heavily oversubscribed initial public offer. It now has 980 shareholders holding 74,368,860 shares in the Company.

Since listing Redstone has carried out extensive ground clearances and regional geochemical sampling along clearance lines in the West Musgrave Region. These regional geochemical sampling programmes are complete for the Blackstone Range Project, which includes the Saturn Complex, and for part of the Tollu Project, where there is known copper mineralization at the old Tollu Mining Centre.

These reconnaissance geochemical surveys have confirmed several zones of Cu anomalism in the Tollu Project. In the Blackstone Range Project, several anomalous zones of Ni-Cu-PGE or Cu anomalism have been identified. Two of these are particularly encouraging, with one having highly anomalous coincident Ni-Cu-PGE in soil and Ni-Cu in an adiacent ironstone. The ironstone is being tested using total PGE analysis to determine if it is a gossan. Electromagnetic (EM) surveys are planned to test these anomalies in the near future.

The geological team have defined a prospective magmatic corridor, possibly a failed rift, in the West Musgrave Region. This contains a number of circular intrusions, both of Giles Complex mafic rocks and A-type Granites. The former are prospective for Voisey's Bay-type Ni-Cu-PGE deposits and the latter for Olympic Dam-type iron-oxide Cu-Au deposits.

Redstone has proactively acquired additional tenements (total 1,326 km2) to cover this magmatic corridor and other geological or structural targets in the West Musgrave Region. An extension of time was granted for the Blackstone Range farm-in with Resource Mining Corporation (ASX code RMI).

Redstone is also developing a project generative team using the expertise of its highly-qualified geological staff and the global connections of its Directors. Global targeting and ground acquisition has been advanced, with targets identified for acquisition in Brazil through a now-established Brazilian subsidiary company. Ground has also been applied for in Finland. There is considerable interest by other mining and exploration companies in this branch of Redstone's activities.

Principal Activities

Results of Operations

The net loss after income tax attributable to members of the consolidated entity for the financial year to 30 June 2006 amounted to $609,535 (2005 $190,617).

Review of Operations

2005/2006 was a significant year for Redstone, culminating in the completion of the company's Prospectus and the opening of the initial Public Offering. During the year major Warden's Court litigation was successfully defended which opened the way for Redstone to complete its successful listing on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) on 3 August 2006.

The company continued to expand its land holding in the West Musgrave Region of Western Australia including the acquisition of farm-in rights for the Blackstone Range and Michael Hills projects. Access negotiations for the Blackstone Range project were successfully completed during the year which allowed exploration of this significant project to commence immediately after the ASX listing.

During 2005/2006 Redstone also assembled an outstanding technical team possessing first-class exploration and targeting skills.

The year ahead promises to be an exciting one for the company, with a pipeline of current projects to be explored and new projects to be assessed for acquisition.

Dividends

No dividends were paid during the year and the directors recommend that no dividends be paid or declared for the financial year ended 30 June 2006.

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

The Company undertook an initial public offering and on 8 June 2006 issued a Prospectus for the offer of 22 million ordinary shares each at an issue price of 25 cents per share to raise $5,500,000. Pursuant to conditions of the offer the Company applied for admission to the Official List of the Australian Stock Exchange on 15 June 2006.

The offer was oversubscribed and closed on 20 July 2006. All conditions of the offer were successfully completed on 3 August 2006, upon which date the Company's shares were officially quoted and commenced trading on the Australian Stock Exchange.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006

Principles of Consolidation $\mathbf{c}$

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Redstone Resources Limited and its subsidiaries ('the Group') as at 30 June each year.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

All intercompany balances and transactions including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions. have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered,

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

d) Exploration, and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each separate area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

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

Plant and Equipment $e$

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant and equipment is measured on a cost basis.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a diminishing balance basis over their useful lives 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
Office furniture & equipment 11.25%
Satellite phone & digital equipment 22.5%
Office paintings $1.5%$
Computer equipment 37.5%
Generators 7.5%
Motor Vehicles 22.5%

ACN 090 169 154

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006

Impairment f)

At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset unless the assets value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. The estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-discount that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Income Tax $\mathfrak{g}$

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

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

A deferred income tax asset is not recognised where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced 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 asset to be utilised.

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

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) h)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.

Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable or payable is included as a current asset or current liability in the balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statements on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable or payable are classified as operating cash flows.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006

Employee Benefits i)

i. Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other creditors (see note 10) in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable. Annual leave entitlements are accounted for as a provision (see note $11$ ).

ii. Long service leave

The liability for long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and is in accordance with (i) above. The liability for long service leave expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents j)

For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash includes deposits at call which are readily convertible to cash on hand and which are used in the cash management function on a day to day basis, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Trade and Other Payables k)

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the company.

$\mathbf{D}$ Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue can be recognised.

Interest revenue

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006

Share-based payment transactions $m$

The Group provides incentives to employees (including directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares ('equity-settled transactions').

The Company has in place an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) which provides benefits to directors, senior executives and key employees. Key terms of the ESOP are as follows:

  • The Plan is available to eligible persons who will be determined by the Board but must be persons who $\bullet$ are Directors or employees of the consolidated entity
  • Options are issued for nil consideration: $\bullet$
  • The exercise price is determined by the Board with regard to the market value of the Company's shares at the time it resolves to offer the options;
  • Options will be issued subject to certain conditions that must be satisfied for them to be exercised to be $\bullet$ determined by the Board when it resolves to offer the Options and in accordance with the purpose of the ESOP
  • The expiry date of the Options will be determined by the Board prior to the offer of the relevant options. $\bullet$ subject to any restrictions in the Corporations Act, but in any event no longer than 5 years from the date of issue.
  • Options will lapse if the eligible person ceases to be an eligible person for any reason other than retirement, permanent disability, redundancy or death.
  • Options are not transferable
  • Any shares issued will rank equally with the Company's then existing issued shares
  • The issue of Options to Directors will require shareholder approval in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using Black-Scholes and binomial methods. Further details are given in notes 16 and 24.

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

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

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 number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. 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.

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

Where 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 increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.

ACN 090 169 154

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006

Share-based payment transactions (continued) $m$ )

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

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (see note 15).

The company has applied the requirements of AASB 1 'First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards' in respect of equity-settled awards and has applied AASB 2 'Share-based Payments' only to equity instruments granted during the financial year.

Share Capital n)

Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction in share proceeds received.

o) Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating Leases

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of the leased item, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

D) Earnings per Share

  • Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income lax attributable to members of the Group, excluding any costs of service equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
  • Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial costs associated with the dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to potential ordinary shares.

q) Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions $\Gamma$ )

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure

Under AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources the Group has the option to elther expense exploration and evaluation expenditure as incurred or to capitalise such expenditure provided that certain conditions are satisfied. The Group's policy is closer to the latter as outlined in note 2(d).

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment if there is any indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Where a review for impairment is conducted, the recoverable amount is assessed by reference to the higher of 'value in use' (being net present value of expected future cash flows of the relevant cash generating unit) and 'fair value less costs to sell'.

Share based payment transactions

The Group 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 is determined by an independent valuer using either Black-Scholes or binomial methodology, using the assumptions detailed in note 24.

Gross deferred income tax assets

Redstone Resources Limited and its controlled entities have not elected to form a tax consolidation group.

It is considered that it is not probable that the consolidated entity will utilise all its carry forward tax losses in the foreseeable future, hence it is not expected to pay tax in the foreseeable future. The deferred tax balances noted above have therefore not been accounted for in the balance sheet.

At 30 June 2006, the consolidated entity has tax losses in Australia of $2,122,604 (2005: $1,070,390) that are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable income. The consolidated entity has not recognised a deferred income tax assets in relation to these losses as realisation of the benefit is not regarded as probable.

These deferred tax assets will only be obtained if:

  • a) future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;
  • b) the consolidated entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and
  • no changes in the income tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated entity in realising the benefit from c) the deduction of the loss.

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001.

This responsibility also includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
