DIRECTORS' REPORT

The Directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of Redstone Resources Limited and its controlled entities ('Consolidated Entity') for the financial year ended 30 June 2007.

The Board of Directors

The names and details of directors in office during the financial year until the date of this report are as follows. Directors were in office for the entire period unless otherwise stated.

Mr Anthony Alexander Ailakis (B. Juris LLB) (Executive Chairman)

Mr Anthony Ailakis has been involved in the exploration and mining industry for almost 20 years. He has a law degree from the University of Western Australia in 1986 and worked as a general commercial and mining lawyer until he moved into the mining and exploration consultancy work on a project basis in the early 1990s.

Mr Ailakis has been involved in the development of constructive relationships with Aboriginal Land Councils and traditional owners and in the conduct of access and native title negotiations, as well as ground acquisition and matters relating to tenement management and Mining Act compliance.

Mr Ailakis has been actively involved in the development and implementation of Redstone's acquisition strategy over the past several years.

Mr Juan Carlos Olivero (Non-Executive Director)

Mr Juan Carlos Olivero has been involved in the mining and exploration industry in Australia for over 20 years. He founded and was managing director of Exclusive Air Charter Pty Ltd, a company responsible for secure air transport of gold from the majority of Western Australian mines to Perth for over 12 years. Mr Olivero grew the company from a one-aircraft one-pilot operation to a successful small airline which effectively covered the market for secure gold transport in Western Australia.

Through his business activities, Mr Olivero has developed an extensive commercial and mining industry network both within Australia and overseas, particularly Argentina where he has contacts at all levels of government and the mining industry.

Mr Stephen George Fountain (B Bus, F Fin) (General Manager) – Appointed 30 April 2007

Mr Fountain has almost 14 years experience in the Resources Industry in Western Australia. Mr Fountain graduated with an Accounting and Finance degree from Edith Cowan University in Perth in 1993. In 1996 he completed a Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investment with the now renamed Financial Services Institute of Australasia (Finsia).

Mr Fountain joined WMC Resources in 1993 and has held various Accounting, Business Analysis and Managerial positions within WMC and other mining and exploration companies including LionOre Nickel Australia, Harmony Gold Australia and, most recently prior to this role, with BHP Billiton Nickel West.

Mr Fountain brings to Redstone experience in Project Controls and Business Systems to facilitate efficient management of the daily operations of Redstone as it grows.

The following director resigned during the financial year:

Prof David Ian Groves Resigned 30 April 2007

ACN 090 169 154

Company Secretary – Miranda Conti (BCom, GradDipCSP)

Ms Conti is a chartered secretary and certified practising accountant who currently consults to a number of public companies. Prior to this she most recently held the position of joint Company Secretary and Finance Manager at iiNet Limited, an international telecommunications company. Ms Conti was employed during a period of rapid and significant growth for iiNet, from March 2000 (following the company's listing on the ASX) to December 2004, during which time she was involved in the implementation and management of the finance function and corporate governance requirements. Ms Conti holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Western Australia.

Principal Activities

The principal activities of the consolidated entity during the financial year were:

  • * To carry out exploration of tenements in which the entity has an interest, both on a joint venture basis and by the entity in its own right;
  • * To continue to seek extensions of areas held and to also seek out new areas with potential areas of mineralisation;
  • * To evaluate and seek opportunities in the mineral sector globally by way of acquisition, investment or joint venture; and
  • * To evaluate results achieved through surface sampling, drilling and geophysical surveys carried out during the year.

Review of Operations

The net loss after income tax attributable to members of the consolidated entity for the financial year ended 30 June 2007 amounted to $2,031,676 (2006: $609,535).

During the past year, the Company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), and has been conducting on-ground exploration of its landholding in the West Musgrave Region.

Comprehensive sampling of over 1,300 sq km has been conducted and over 9,000 geochemical samples have been collected and assayed. The exploration activity also included two ground EM surveys, a detailed aeromagnetic survey across the eastern part of the Company's land-holding, extensive geological mapping and geological studies and over 13,000 metres of RAB and RC drilling.

This phase of exploration has been rapidly and efficiently conducted and is a credit to our small and dedicated field exploration team. Results have identified numerous mineralised areas that have been prioritised for infill sampling and preliminary drilling.

During the year the Company discovered a major Copper-Nickel-Platinum Group Elements (Cu-Ni-PGE) mineralised system (named Halleys) prospect in the Blackstone Range project in the West Musgrave Region in Western Australia. Preliminary shallow drilling results identified a mineralised body up to 450 metres in diameter and 250 metres thick.

RAB drilling results have also highlighted the platinum reef potential of the Saturn Complex (which forms part of the Blackstone Range project), with a 2.5km long PGE anomaly along the southern margin which is open to the north-west. This is part of a 9.5 km PGE geochemical anomaly which was also identified during the year.

Definition of drill targets in such a short period clearly demonstrates the potential of the West Musgrave Region and the ability of the Company's geological team to effectively and efficiently apply its geological models.

ACN 090 169 154

The Company has established a close working relationship with the traditional owners of our West Musgrave projects. This has enabled the Company to perform ground clearances quickly and efficiently, to allow the effective implementation of our exploration program. Redstone has now cleared more land for exploration than any other company in the region, paving the way for the Company's future plans.

During the year, the Company acquired rights to earn up to a 75% interest in a prospective new area in the West Musgrave, through a farm-in with Discovery Metals Limited and also acquired over 2,500 sq km of additional tenements following analysis of the results of its aeromagnetic survey conducted over the eastern portion of the West Musgrave region.

The Company has applied for eight nickel properties and three iron-ore properties in Brazil which comprise five exploration projects. Redstone has an advanced geological understanding and extensive networks to acquire prospective projects for exploration in the Central Andes and Amazon Craton regions in South America.

Halleys (Blackstone Range Project – RMC Farm-In; ASX:RMI)

Slimline RC drilling under Halleys gossan outcrop (BSC001 to BSC005) intersected a mineralized zone up to 74m thick, in gabbroic rocks of the Saturn Complex layered intrusion. Significant RC intercepts include:

  • 74m @ 0.29% Cu, 0.08% Ni, and 0.17g/t Pt+Pd+Au (from 6 to 80m, open at depth) with up to 2% disseminated chalcopyrite, including 20m @ 0.56% Cu, 0.14% Ni and 0.32g/t Pt+Pd+Au (BSC003);
  • 9m @ 0.56% Cu, 0.11% Ni and 0.35g/t Pt+Pd+Au (BSC005); and
  • 20m @ 0.56% Cu, 0.14% Ni and 0.32g/t Pt+Pd+Au from 16m (BSC003).

Peak values received in drilling include 1.1% Cu, 0.27% Ni, 1.2g/t Au, and 0.47g/t Pt+Pd+Au.

Results for the first 119 vertical RAB drill holes completed around the periphery of the gossan outcrop at Halleys include:

  • 19m @ 0.21% Cu, 0.08% Ni and 0.13g/t Pt+Pd+Au (BSB0054 open at depth);
  • 28m @ 0.16% Cu, 0.11% Ni and 0.19g/t Pt+Pd+Au (BSB0070 open at depth); and
  • 3m @ 0.20% Cu, 0.20% Ni and 0.49g/t Pt+Pd+Au (BSB0058 open at depth).

The mineralization defined to 70m below surface is open down dip (moderately dipping 20-40° northeast dip) and down plunge. Geological interpretation, drilling and geochemical results have highlighted a pipelike geometry to the mineralized body with a diameter of approximately 450m, and a true thickness of up to 250m. Significantly, RAB drilling has intersected higher grade nickel and Pt-Pd-Au at the bottom hole BSB0058, demonstrating the potential for higher grade nickel-PGEs at depth.

Drilling 400m to the northwest, into EM anomalies along strike of the Halleys outcrop, has intersected barren clay, with fresh bedrock intersected at 75m down hole. The EM anomalies represents deep weathering which may relate to preferential weathering of sulphide mineralization, but deeper RC or diamond drilling is required to test the 3D geometry of the mineralization.

The results confirm Redstone's geological model that massive volumes of sulphide are present in the Saturn Complex and that the district is highly prospective for world-class Ni-Cu-PGE and PGE deposits. The copper-PGE mineralization so far drilled is likely to be only a small part of a much larger system nearby. RAB drilling of a 9.5km PGE geochemical anomaly has confirmed a 2.5km anomaly, which is open to the northwest and demonstrates the PGE reef potential of the entire Saturn Complex.

Extensive drilling is planned for the remainder of this year to follow up possible extensions of the thick intercepts of mineralisation, in order to test the down-dip and down-plunge position at Halleys and the Saturn Complex margin to the northwest for copper-PGE, nickel and PGE reef mineralization.

South American Exploration

(i) Amazon Craton

Nickel

Redstone has targeted the Sunsás belt as the most important belt for nickel exploration in South America. The belt is of Grenvillian age (1,450-1,000 Ma) and is located in the western margin of the Amazon Craton, in the Brazil-Bolivia border region, and it includes a large amount of Grenvillian-age mafic-ultramafic intrusions. These intrusions have great potential for three styles of nickel deposits:

    1. Nickel-laterite;
    1. Voisey's Bay-type; and
    1. Norilsk-type.

Two giant deposits have already been discovered in this belt. They are Rincón Del Tigre (Noril'sk-type gold-PGE in Bolivia) and Morro-Sem-Boné (nickel-cobalt-laterite in Mato Grosso State).

Redstone has acquired eight projects in the Sunsás belt (applications for exploration licences) covering mafic-ultramafic complexes totalling 46,000 ha in the states of Rondônia and Mato Grosso in Brazil. We believe these carefully selected areas will provide Redstone with unique commercial opportunities.

Iron

Three areas for iron exploration were recently selected in a Paleoproterozoic basin to the west of Carajás Province (Pará State-Brazil) and exploration licences were applied for with the Departamento Nacional de Produção Mineral of Brazil.

(ii) Central Andes

Redstone has identified a number of high priority targets and opportunities in the Central Andean region of South America. The company is very well positioned in this most prospective and under explored region. The Central Andes is the main source of copper in the world and is also a major source of other commodities such as gold, silver and molybdenum.

Compared with Chile, Peru and Bolivia, Argentina is the most under-explored country in the Central Andes in terms of mineral endowment. Redstone has a working relationship with SEGEMAR (Geological Survey of Argentina) in areas of advanced geochronology. This co-operation has the full support of the Federal Ministry of Mines of Argentina and the Federal Minister, Mr. Jorge Mayoral.

During the past year, members of the Company's generative/ conceptual targeting team have been assessing various projects in Argentina and have selected the most prospective north-western part of Argentina (provinces of Catamarca, Salta and Jujuy) for immediate follow-up. These provinces host worldclass deposits such as the Bajo de la Alumbrera (Xtrata), Agua Rica (Northern Orion, presently investing in excess of US$2,000 million).

Redstone has an extensive provincial network that includes the Universities of Jujuy and Salta (recognized for their Geological Departments) as well as local industry experts and past and present members of provincial governments.

The Company has developed a new tectonic-stratigraphic model to target porphyry systems in the Central Andes. This model combined with our regional geological knowledge, contacts, data base and its integration into a Geographic Information System is creating new opportunities and vastly improving our chances of success.

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 2007.

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

The 2007 year was significant for Redstone and started with the completion of the Company's Initial Public Offer (IPO) and listing on the Australian Stock Exchange. The Company raised $5,500,000 through the issue of 22 million shares each at an issue price of 25 cents to fund a two year mineral exploration and development program of the Company's projects in the West Musgraves.

The IPO 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.

Subsequent Events

Pursuant to a Short Form Prospectus dated 12 July 2007 the Company raised $3,122,234 through the issue of 2,601,862 ordinary shares each at an issue price of $1.20 per share. The shares were issued on 20 August 2007.

The purpose of the offer is to provide Redstone with funding for the following exploration activities:

  • Deep drilling of the highly prospective Halleys discovery;
  • Drilling and continued exploration of the Company's other projects in the West Musgrave region;
  • Exploration of the Company's nickel and iron-ore targets in Brazil, and acquisition of selected properties in the central Andean region of South America.

Since 30 June 2007 Redstone has lodged 27 applications for tenements, with potential for potassium, in the Amazon region of Brazil.

Likely Developments

Redstone continues to seek and review opportunities to acquire and invest in mining and exploration projects globally. Likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of those operations have not been included in this report as the Directors believe, on reasonable grounds, that the inclusion of such information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company.

Environmental Issues

The consolidated entity's operations are subject to significant environmental regulation under the law of the Commonwealth and State. The Directors of the Company monitor compliance with environmental regulations. The Directors are not aware of any significant breaches during the period covered by this Report.

Remuneration Report

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of the Company.

- Remuneration Policy

The Board of directors are responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and the executive team. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment conditions, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.

The Board acts as the Remuneration Committee and assesses the nature and amount of compensation of key management personnel.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at cost to the consolidated entity and expensed. Options granted to directors are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Directors are also eligible to participate in the Company's Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP). Any such options to be offered to Directors under the terms of the ESOP require shareholder approval. These Options are issued for nil consideration and do not have performance conditions attached other than continued employment with the consolidated entity.

The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and will review their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability and to ensure their remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people with appropriate skills and experience. Independent external advice is sought where required.

The maximum amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are currently fixed at up to $250,000 and are not linked to the performance of the company. However, to align directors' interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. Options have been and will be issued to directors of the company. The purpose of issuing options to directors as part of a remuneration package is to be able to attract, retain and motivate people of the highest calibre to oversee management of the Company's operations by providing them with an opportunity to participate in the company's future growth and give them an incentive to contribute to that growth. The issue of options as a part of remuneration packages is a well established practice of public listed companies and, in the case of Redstone, has the benefit of conserving cash whilst properly rewarding the directors.

- Performance based remuneration

The Board seeks to align the interests of shareholders and executive directors through a performance related incentive package. Accordingly, the General Manager, Stephen Fountain, is entitled to an annual bonus, either by way of cash or shares or options in Redstone in a manner to be agreed and determined by the Board. No performance based amounts have been paid or determined to be paid to the Executive Chairman at this stage of the Company's development.

- Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Director/Executive Remuneration

Mr Fountain was offered 750,000 Options in April 2007 pursuant to an executive employment agreement, to be granted upon shareholder approval at the next annual general meeting of members. These options will entitle Mr Fountain to subscribe to one Ordinary Share upon exercise of each Option. These Options are proposed to be offered at an exercise price of $1.40 per share, exercisable 12 months from the date of the executive employment agreement and expiring 31 December 2011.

  • within the last three years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the company or another group member, or been a director after ceasing to hold any such employment.
  • within the last three years has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the company or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided.
  • is not a material supplier or customer of the company or other group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer.
  • has no material contractual relationship with the company or another group member other than as a director of the company.
  • has not served on the board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interests of the company.
  • is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interests of the company.

Having regard to the above criteria, the Company currently departs from this principle by not having a majority of independent directors, including the Chairman. The Board considers that to date the Company has not been of a size, nor its affairs of such complexity to justify the appointment of a majority of independent non-executive Directors.

The Board believes that the individuals on the Board can make, and do make, quality and independent judgements 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.

In anticipation of an increase in the level of activity and complexity of the Company's operations, The Board intends to appoint independent non-executive directors in the near future.

ACN 090 169 154

2.2: The chairperson should be an independent director.

Mr Ailakis is the Executive Chairman of the Company and has an indirect shareholding of <1% in the Company. The Board considers that the Chairman is not independent in terms of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's definition of independent director. However, the Board believes that the Chairman exercises unfettered and independent judgement to all relevant issues falling within the scope of the role of a Chairman.

2.3: The roles of chairperson and chief executive officer should not be exercised by the same individual.

Mr Ailakis is the Executive Chairman of the Company and has an indirect shareholding of <1% in the Company. The Board does not view this as interfering with the exercise of unfettered and independent judgement. The composition of the Board and the nature and present state of the company's business activities precludes the Company from having both a Chairman and a Chief Executive Officer.

2.4: The board should establish a nomination committee

The company does not have a formal nomination committee due to the scale and nature of the company's activities. The whole board meet to consider additional appointments to the Board. Directors consider that the Company complies with the intentions of Principle 2.4 of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance.

2.5: Provide the information indicated in Guide to reporting on Principle 2

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the Annual Report are disclosed in the Directors' Report included in the Annual Report.

Each Director has the right to seek independent professional advice at the Company's expense. However, prior approval of the Chairman is required, which is not unreasonably withheld.

A Director (other than the Managing Director) may not retain office for more than 3 years without submitting for reelection.

The company does not have a nomination committee for the reasons outlined in 2.4 above. Any departures from best practice recommendations 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 are included in those sections.

The Board will review its composition on an annual basis to ensure it has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience. Where a vacancy exists, for whatever reason, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from the services of a new director with particular skills, the Board will select appropriate candidates with relevant qualifications, skills and experience.

Directors consider that the Company complies with Principle 2.5 of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance.

Principle 3:

Promote ethical and responsible decision-making

3.1: Establish a code of conduct to guide the directors, the chief executive officer (or equivalent), the chief financial officer (or equivalent) and any other key executives as to:

3.1.1 the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the company's integrity

3.1.2 the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.

The Board believes that the success of Redstone has been and will continue to be enhanced by a strong ethical culture within the organisation. As Redstone grows, the need to ensure that ethical standards remain has led the Board to embrace policies to ensure that all Directors, executives and employees act with the utmost integrity and objectivity in their dealings with all people that they come in contact with during their employment with Redstone.

Redstone is committed to achieving and maintaining high standards of conduct and to 'institutionalise' good corporate governance and generally build a culture of best practice.

Redstone has established an informal Code of Conduct which aims to develop a consistent understanding of, and approach to, the desired standards of conduct and behaviour of the directors, officers, employees and consultants in carrying out their roles for the Company.

ACN 090 169 154

3.2: Disclose the policy concerning trading in company securities by directors, officers and employees.

The Company has in place a share trading policy which restricts all directors, employees or consultants of the Company from dealing in shares of the Company whilst in possession of price sensitive information or similarly passing information to other parties to buy or sell Redstone shares.

In addition to insider trading prohibitions arising from the Corporations Act, directors, executive officers and senior management are prohibited from trading as follows:

  • No Director or executive officer should buy or sell Shares without the prior approval of the Chairman
  • No senior manager should buy or sell Shares without the prior approval of the Chairman
  • The Chairman should not buy or sell Shares without the prior approval of the Board or the next most senior Director;
  • Directors and senior management are generally prohibited from trading Shares for a short term gain.
  • Before trading in the Company's shares, directors, employees and consultants must advise the Company Secretary of their intention to trade and confirm that they are not aware of any unpublished market sensitive information.

Directors consider that the Company complies with Principle 3.2 of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance.

3.3: Provide the information indicated in Guide to reporting on Principle 3.

This information is provided in this statement.

Directors consider that the Company complies with Principle 3.3 of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance.

Principle 4:

Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

4.1: Require the chief executive officer (or equivalent) and the chief financial officer (or equivalent) to state in writing to the board that the company's financial reports present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the company's financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.

The Executive Director provides the Board with this statement in relation to financial reports. Directors consider that the Company complies with Principle 4.1 of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance.

4.2: The board should establish an audit committee.

Directors consider that the Company does not comply with Principle 4.2 of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance, however the Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its financial affairs of such a complexity to justify the formation of an audit committee.

4.3: Structure the audit committee so that it consists of:

  • only non-executive directors
  • a majority of independent directors
  • an independent chairperson, who is not chairperson of the board
  • at least three members.

Directors consider that Principle 4.3 of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance is not applicable.

4.4: The audit committee should have a formal charter.

Directors consider that Principle 4.4 of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance is not applicable

4.5: Provide the information indicated in Guide to reporting on Principle 4.

Specific areas of risk, which are identified, will be regularly considered at Board meetings including performance of activities, human resources, the environment and continuous disclosure obligations.

7.2: The chief executive officer (or equivalent) and the chief financial officer (or equivalent) should state to the board in writing that:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

1. Corporate information

The financial report of Redstone Resources Limited (the Company) for the year ended 30 June 2007 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 28 September 2007.

Redstone Resources Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares commenced public trading on the Australian Stock Exchange on 3 August 2006. The nature of operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors' Report.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company and the Consolidated Entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

a) Basis of accounting

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable Australian Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis.

b) Statement of compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Australian Accounting Standards that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2007.

New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2007 reporting periods. The Group's and the parent entity's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:

  • (i) AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and AASB 2005-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 132, AASB 101, AASB 114, AASB 117, AASB 133, AASB 139, AASB 1, AASB 4, AASB 1023 & AASB 1038] AASB 7 and AASB 2005-10 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. The Group has not adopted the standards early. Application of the standards will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will amend the impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the Group's and the parent entity's financial instruments.
  • (ii) AASB-I 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment AASB-I 10 is applicable to reporting periods commencing on or after 1 November 2006. The Group has not recognised an impairment loss in relation to goodwill, investments in equity instruments or financial assets carried at cost in an interim reporting period but subsequently reversed the impairment loss in the annual report. Application of the interpretation will therefore have no impact on the Group's or the parent entity's financial statements.

ACN 090 169 154

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

c) Principles of consolidation

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.

e) Property plant and equipment

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 22.50%
Office paintings 1.50%
Computer equipment 37.50%
Generators 7.50%
Motor vehicles 22.50%

ACN 090 169 154

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

f) Impairment

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 rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

g) Income tax

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.

h) Goods and services tax (GST)

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 2007

i) Employee benefits

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 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.

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.

j) Cash and cash equivalents

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.

k) Trade and other payables

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.

l) 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.

m) Share-based payment transactions

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 are Directors or employees of the consolidated entity
  • Options are issued for nil consideration:
  • 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 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, 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.

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 Limited ('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 2007

m) Share-based payment transactions (continued)

Where 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.

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

n) Share capital

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.

p) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax 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) Joint venture arrangements

Jointly controlled operations

Where the group is a venturer (and so has joint control) in a jointly controlled operation the group recognises the assets that it controls and the liabilities it incurs, along with the expenses that it incurs and the group's share of the income that it earns from the sale of goods and services by the joint venture.

r) Comparative figures

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

s) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

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 either 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.

t) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

u) Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at its cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. Goodwill is subsequently measured at its cost less any impairment losses.

v) Foreign currency

The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the consolidated entity, and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.

ACN 090 169 154

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

v) Foreign currency (continued)

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:

  • exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets where they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings
  • exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks
  • exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned or likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation, and which are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the consolidated entity, and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue losses not brought to account 409,294 47,984 230,814 46,530
Income tax expense reported in theincome statement - - - -

The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the tax rate of 30% payable by Australian corporate entities on taxable profits under Australian tax law. No amounts of current or deferred tax have been recognised directly in equity as at 30 June 2007.

Deferred income tax

Unrecognised deferred income tax at 30June relates to the following:
Deferred tax liabilities
Capitalised exploration and
evaluation expenditure (1,117,537) (405,432) (860,507) (405,432)
Deferred tax assets
Tax losses available to offset

account as realisation is not
considered probable (316,943) (231,349) (395,493) (244,353)
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 2007, the consolidated entity has tax losses in Australia of $4,034,882 (2006: $2,122,604) that are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable income. The consolidated entity has not recognised 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
  • c) no changes in the income tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated entity in realising the benefit from the deduction of the loss.

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in proportion to the number of shares held. At shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

Contributions from seed capital investors were received in accordance with individual contracts with each investor for shares. Ordinary shares were issued to seed capital investors pursuant to these contracts on 4 May 2006.

Option holders do not have the right to receive dividends nor are they entitled to vote at a meeting of the company.

24. Expenditure commitments

Exploration expenditure commitments

In order to maintain current rights of tenure over its mineral tenement leases, the company and its controlled entities will be required to outlay amounts in respect of rent and to meet minimum expenditure requirements of the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME).

The annual expenditure commitments on granted tenements as at 30 June 2007 amounted to $2,725,500 (2006: $1,085,300) These obligations may vary from time to time, are subject to approval and are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of operations by the relevant entity.

Consolidated Company
Non cancellable operating leasecommitments for exploration tenements 2007$ 2006$ 2007$ 2006$
Within one year 2,254,210 1,051,288 2,020,583 774,585

Later than five years 38,901 - 38,901 -
6,827,254 2,525,776 5,224,264 2,160,522

The total annual expenditure commitment for all granted tenements of the Consolidated Entity is $2,725,500 (Company: $492,500). However, the Board is of the view that this amount does not accurately reflect the actual expenditure commitment that will be required to be incurred by the Company because those granted tenements over which exploration access has not been secured will almost certainly be granted exemptions from expenditure commitments. This expectation is based on the provisions of the Mining Act whereby holders of tenements are exempted from expenditure commitments where certain factors (including lack of exploration access) preclude exploration from occurring.

Therefore the Board is of the view that the more accurate calculation of the Company's future exploration commitment is to only include those tenements for which exploration access has been granted. The future exploration commitment of the Consolidated Entity and Company relating to tenements over which exploration access has been granted is as follows:

Consolidated Company
Non cancellable operating leasecommitments for exploration tenements
Within one year 592,780 334,293

Joint venture commitments

Blackstone Range/Michael Hills Joint Venture

The Farm-In Deed dated 2 June 2005 is between Giles Exploration Pty Ltd (Giles), Resources Mining Corporation Ltd (RMC), Westmin Exploration Pty Ltd (Westmin) and Rivergold Exploration Pty Ltd (Rivergold).

Westmin acquired a 40% interest in the Blackstone Range/Michael Hills Exploration Licences (EL) by solely funding $1,000,000 of exploration costs. Westmin can acquire a further 35% interest in the EL's by solely funding a further $1,000,000 of exploration costs by 2 July 2008. Westmin cannot withdraw from the Farm-In Deed until it has spent $200,000 on exploration costs.

RMC provided Giles with certain geological and geophysical information, following which RMC acquired a 25% interest in the EL's. If RMC withdraws from the Farm-In Deed, Westmin may acquire a 25% interest in the EL's for $1. If Westmin withdraws from the Farm-In Deed, RMC may acquire a 75% or 35% (as the case may be) interest in the EL's for $1.

During the period in which Westmin may earn an interest in the EL's (Earning Period), Westmin has the exclusive right to conduct exploration on the EL's. During the Earning Period, Westmin has reporting obligations and must keep the EL's in good standing. Giles may terminate the Earning Period (and Westmin's and RMC's right to acquire any interest in the EL's not acquired as at such termination) upon 30 days unremedied breach by Westmin or RMC (as the case may be).

RMC may convert its 25% interest to a 10% free carried interest to completion of a feasibility study, in which case RMC will transfer a 15% interest in the EL's to Westmin and Westmin will assume RMC's funding obligations to completion of a feasibility study.

Discovery Metals Joint Venture

Under the terms of the agreement the Company has agreed to the following:

  • Redstone has a minimum expenditure commitment of $260,000
  • Redstone can earn a 51% interest in the Musgrave Project for the expenditure of $1,000,000
  • Redstone can earn a 75% interest in the Musgrave Project for a total expenditure of $2,000,000
  • As an alternative, Discovery Metals has also granted Redstone an option to purchase the Musgrave Project up until 30 April 2007 for $300,000 in Redstone shares and a cash payment of $190,000
  • Discovery will retain a 2% Net Smelter Return royalty in either case.

Operating lease – company office

The Company has an operating lease for its office premises which was renewed for a further one year term effective from 1 January 2007. Monthly rent for the new lease term is $2,980 excluding GST.

The Consolidated Entity does not have any capital commitments as at balance date.
