REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
MARYMIA PROJECT
Australian Mines Limited ("Australian Mines") Earning Up to 80% (E52/2394 and E52/2395)
During the reporting period, Australian Mines completed reverse circulation ("RC") and diamond core drilling over the Dixon gold prospect to follow up promising results from a single drillhole (MMRC016) completed in 2015. Assay results for gold from MMRC016 confirmed an intercept of 10 metres @ 8.79 g/t gold from 130 metres downhole.
Follow-up drilling comprised eleven RC drill holes (for a total of 2,335 metres) and a single 285 metre diamond core hole. Drilling data confirmed that the source of a chargeability anomaly outlined by an induced polarisation ("IP") survey over the Dixon prospect area is a sulphidic (pyrite-pyrrhotite-arsenopyrite) body associated with the gold mineralisation intersected in MMRC016.
Significant gold intercepts returned from the drilling programme include:
- 1 metre @ 8.99 g/t gold from 65 metres down hole in DXRC004;
- 11 metres @ 1.10 g/t from 136.0 metres down hole in DXRC003, including 1 metre @ 5.76 g/t gold from 139 metres down hole; and
- 1.1 metres @ 5.07 g/t gold from 186.9 metres down hole in DXDD001.
- 2 metres @ 1.02 g/t Au from 55 metres down hole in DXRC006
- 1 metre @ 1.49 g/t Au from 144 metres down hole in DXRC008
- 2 metres @ 1.15 g/t Au from 93 metres down hole in DXRC009
- 1 metre @ 1.16 g/t Au from 69 metres down hole in DXRC010
- 1 metre @ 1.25 g/t Au from 135 metres down hole in DXRC010
- 3 metres @ 1.14 g/t Au from 140 metres down hole in DXRC011 and;
- 4 metres @ 1.31 g/t Au from 170 metres down hole in DXRC011
Australian Mines was also successful with its application for the State Government sponsored Co-funded Drilling Program. $105,000 will be available for diamond core drilling at Dixon in the second half of 2016. This equates to up to 1,200 metres of core drilling and will be used to test for depth extensions to significant mineralisation already identified at Dixon.
Details of the follow-up drilling will be announced to ASX closer to the commencement date but it is anticipated that the programme will comprise up to 2,500 metres of RC drilling and 500 metres of diamond core.

CHARTERIS CREEK PROJECT
In January 2016 FMG Resources Pty Ltd ("Fortescue"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, withdrew from the Farm In and Joint Venture Agreement entered into between Riedel's wholly-owned subsidiary Audax Minerals Pty Ltd ('Audax') and Fortescue over Exploration Licence 45/2763. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Fortescue has not earned an interest in E45/2763 and the exploration licence will remain 100% owned by Audax.
Riedel has since been successful with its State Government 2016-2017 co-funded drilling application. A grant of $75,000 from the State Government may be used to drill geophysical anomalies at Charteris Creek. The grant is awarded for innovative drilling programs in previously untested locations and is designed to test for buried copper-gold porphyry mineralisation.
The proposed drilling will test two large magnetic anomalies for porphyry Cu-Mo (+/- Au) mineralisation hidden beneath the cover of the younger Fortescue Group. These magnetic peaks are within a circular feature approximately 1.5km in diameter (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Circular magnetic anomaly interpreted as possible porphyry core within granodiorite intrusive
DIRECTORS' REPORT (con't)
Mineralisation has previously been defined at the Lightning Ridge Prospect within the tenement as well as at other prospects to the south of the tenement at Gobbos. At Gobbos surface samples up to 41% Cu have been recorded as well as 13 metres @ 4.28% Cu from a costean. Historic shallow drilling has also intersected numerous significant intersections of +1% Cu. The mineralisation is interpreted as being part of the same large intrusive body of rocks that extend into the drill target area under the Fortescue Group cover.
Reidel is planning to drill 1 or 2 diamond drill holes for a total of 800 metres to test the magnetic peaks closest to surface. The magnetic target was modelled using unconstrained 3D inversion modelling and polygonal forward modelling. The profile data along 5 airborne magnetic survey flight lines were modelled during this polygonal forward modelling exercise. Three alternative forward models were created using different magnetic susceptibility values of 0.01SI, 0.02SI and 0.03SI. Figure 2 shows the planned drill hole traces and the 3D Inversion and Polygonal Magnetic Model Targets (looking West).

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED
This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the key management personnel of Riedel Resources Limited (the "Company") for the financial year ended 30 June 2016. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.
The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for key management personnel ("KMP") who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent Company, and includes the two executives in the Company and the Group receiving the highest remuneration.
Key Management Personnel
Directors
Jeffrey Moore (Executive Chairman) Andrew Childs (Non-executive Director) Luke Matthews (Non-executive Director) (Appointed 19 January 2016) Mark Skiffington (Non-executive Director) (Appointed 19 January 2016) Ian Tchacos (Non-executive Director) (Resigned 18 January 2016) Ed Turner (Non-executive Director) (Resigned 27 November 2015)
Remuneration Philosophy
The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of the directors and executives. The philosophy of the Company in determining remuneration levels is to:
- set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees;
- link executive rewards to shareholder value creation; and
- establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles for variable executive remuneration
Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee, the role and duties of which are undertaken by the Board, establishes human resources and compensation policies and practices for the Directors (executive and non-executive) and senior executives, including retirement termination policies and practices, Company share schemes and other incentive schemes, Company superannuation arrangements and remuneration arrangements.
Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Group's financial results. The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors and executives to run and manage the Group.
The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executives of the Group is as follows:
DIRECTORS' REPORT (con't)
REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (con't)
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives (if any), was developed by the Board. All executives are to receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation. The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Group's performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.
Directors and executives are also entitled to participate in the Employee Incentive Option Scheme and Performance Rights Plan. The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which was 9.5% for the year ended 30 June 2016, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes or Binomial Option Pricing models.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is $250,000 per annum as detailed in the Company's prospectus dated 12 November 2010. Amendments to this amount are subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors will not be linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align directors' interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the Employee Incentive Option Scheme.
The objective of the Company's executive reward framework is set to attract and retain the most qualified and experienced directors and senior executives.
The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:
- Competitiveness
- Acceptability to shareholders
- Performance linkage
- Capital management
Directors' fees
A director may be paid fees or other amounts as the directors determine where a director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a director. A director may also be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of their directorship or any special duties.
Non-executive Directors are not currently paid any fee.
DIRECTORS' REPORT (con't)
REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (con't)
Bonuses
No bonuses were given to key management personnel during the 2015 and 2016 years.
Performance based remuneration
The Company currently offers eligible Directors and Key Executives participation in the Company Performance Rights Plan and/or Incentive Option Scheme. This is in addition to cash remuneration.
Company performance, shareholder wealth and director's and executive's remuneration
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors and executives. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options or Performance Rights to eligible directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes the policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. For details of directors and executives interests in options and performance rights at year end, refer below for details.
In order to preserve cash in the Company, the non-executive Directors have not received Directors fees since 1 May 2013 and the executive Directors receive Directors' fees only in the form of cash. All directors are entitled to participate in the Performance Rights Plan and/or Incentive Option Scheme.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Riedel Resources Limited (the "Company") is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2016 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group" and individually as "Group entities").
The Group primarily is involved in mining and exploration activity.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group 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.
The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group.
Basis of Preparation
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.
Statement of Compliance
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 September 2016. The Directors have the power to amend and revise the financial statements.
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 18.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con't)
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 26.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Riedel Resources Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2016 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Riedel Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the 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.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the "management approach", where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the directors. The directors are responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Riedel Resources Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con't)
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rate at the date of the transaction, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
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 external valuation using Black-Scholes and Binomial Option Pricing models, using the assumptions detailed in Note 12.
Exploration and Evaluation Costs
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or relating to, the area of interest are continuing.
Impairment of Exploration and Evaluation Assets and Investments in and Loans to Subsidiaries The ultimate recoupment of the value of exploration and evaluation assets, the Company's investment in subsidiaries, and loans to subsidiaries is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale, of the exploration and evaluation assets.
Impairment tests are carried out on a regular basis to identify whether the asset carrying values exceed their recoverable amounts. There is significant estimation and judgement in determining the inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts.
The key areas of judgement and estimation include:
- Recent exploration and evaluation results and resource estimates;
- Environmental issues that may impact on the underlying tenements;
- Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the operations and carrying values of assets and liabilities.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con't)
Income tax expenses
Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from temporary differences, are recognised only when it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised.
Going Concern
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group incurred a profit of $704,101 for the year ended 30 June 2016 (2015: $794,639 loss).
The ability of the Company and the Group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the Company successfully raising additional share capital and ultimately developing one of its mineral properties.
The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis because:
- the Directors have an appropriate plan to raise additional funds as and when it is required. In light of the Group's current exploration and evaluation projects, the Directors believe that the additional capital required can be raised in the market; and
- the Directors have an appropriate plan to contain certain operating and exploration expenditure if appropriate funding is unavailable.
The accounts have been prepared on the basis that the Company and the Group can meet its commitments as and when they fall due and can therefore continue normal business activities, and the realisation of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Income Tax
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the loss for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con't)
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward only if they relate to an area of interest for which rights of tenure are current and in respect of which:
- such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation or from sale of the area; or
- exploration and evaluation activities in the area have not, at reporting date, reached a stage which permit a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active operations in, or relating to, the area are continuing.
Accumulated costs in respect of areas of interest which are abandoned are written off in full against loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
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.
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and development assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or alternatively sale of the respective areas of interest.
Financial Instruments
The Company classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.
Recognition
Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at 'fair value through profit or loss' when they are either held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a Group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con't)
(ii) 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 Company 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 date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the statement of financial position.
(iii) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principle market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

An asset is current when: it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when: it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, 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.
Revenue
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
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 statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Impairment
(i) Financial Assets
A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con't)
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its fair value. Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in Groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognised either in the income statement or revaluation reserves in the period in which the impairment arises.
(ii) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount at the reporting date.
Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment in respect of cash generating units, which are no larger than the area of interest to which the assets relate.
(iii) Non-Financial Assets Other Than Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exits. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss has been recognised.
Joint operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The consolidated entity has recognised its share of jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations. These have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate classifications.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con't)
Investments
All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment.
After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as held for trading and available-for-sale, are measured at fair value. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Gains or losses on available-for-sale investments are recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the profit or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to Stock Exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date.
Trade and other payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Group. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Group in the form of sharebased payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares ("equity-settled transaction").
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 independent external valuation using a Black-Scholes and Binomial Option Pricing models that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives services that entitle the employees to receive payment.
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 reporting 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.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con't)
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.
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.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con't)
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
| Office equipment | 2years |
|---|---|
| Exploration equipment | 5years |
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities 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.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability 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 using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expect 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 corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss attributable to the owners of Riedel Resources Limited, excluding any costs of servicing 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 financial year.
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.

The corporate tax rate in Australia was changed from 30% to 28.5% with effect from 1 July 2015. This revised rate has not impacted the current tax asset for the current year but will do so in future periods. However, the impact of the change in tax rate has been taken into account in the measurement of deferred taxes at the end of the reporting period. The effect of this change in tax rate on deferred taxes has been disclosed in the reconciliation of deferred taxes below.
The following deferred tax balances have not been recognised:
Deferred Tax Assets: At 28.5%: (2015:30%)

On 27 June 2013 the Company issued a Secured Convertible Note to Oracle Securities Pty Ltd (or its nominees). The Convertible Note (and any accrued interest) can be converted in full or any part thereof into Shares in the Company at the lender's sole discretion at any time after 30 June 2015.
Shares issued in lieu of accrued interest will be issued at the lower of $0.036 or 90% of the 10 day VWAP preceding the due date for payment of that accrued interest.
The amended agreement between the parties stated that shares issued on conversion are currently issued at the lower of 80% of the 10 day VWAP preceding the date of execution of the Convertible Note Deeds or 80% of the 10 day VWAP preceding the date of the Conversion Notice. Shareholders voted at the General Meeting held on 7 August 2014 to approve the amendments to the terms of the Convertible Notes. The redemption date was 30 June 2015, however on 31 July 2015 the Company agreed with the Convertible Noteholders to extend the redemption date of the Convertible Note Deeds from 30 June 2015 to 31 August 2015. On 28 August 2015 the Company agreed with the Convertible Noteholders to extend the redemption date of the Convertible Note Deeds from 31 August 2015 to 30 September 2015.
On 30 October 2015 an agreement has been reached with the Convertible Note holders to convert all of the outstanding Convertible Notes, with a face value of $400,000, into ordinary fully paid shares of Riedel. A total of 61,653,937 fully paid shares of Riedel were issued to the Convertible Note holders at a price of $0.0065 per share to redeem the Convertible Notes.

NOTE 18: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash and short term deposits. The main purpose of the financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the Group. The Group also has other financial instruments such as trade debtors, creditors and convertible notes which arise directly from its operations. For the period under review, it has been the Group's policy not to trade in financial instruments
The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and credit risk. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:
(a) Interest Rate Risk
The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits. The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 180 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The Group does not have any other short or long term debt, and therefore this risk is minimal.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
NOTE 18: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (con't)
(b) Foreign exchange risk
The Group undertakes certain transactions in foreign currencies, hence exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Payments made by the Group are made at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of payment. Loans advanced from the ultimate holding Company to subsidiary companies are denominated in Australian dollars. The Group does not utilise derivative instruments to hedge the exchange rate risk.
(c) Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any provisions for losses, represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk.
(a) Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the Group's financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
| CarryingAmount2016 | CarryingAmount2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| Financial assets | $ | $ |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 1,499,804 | 142,630 |
| Other receivables | 27,922 | 30,571 |
| 1,527,726 | 173,201 |
(b) Impairment losses
None of the Group's other receivables are past due hence no impairment were provided for.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The Group does not have any external borrowings.
The Company does anticipate a need to raise additional capital in the next 12 months to meet forecasted operational and exploration activities.
The contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements are shown at (f) below.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016
NOTE 18: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (con't)
(d) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
(e) Currency risk
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from exploration commitments in currencies in other than the Group measurement currency. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures to the US Dollar and the Burkina Faso CFA. The Group has not formalised a foreign currency risk management policy, however it monitors its foreign currency expenditure in light of exchange rate movements.
The carrying amount of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date are as follows:
| Liabilities | Assets | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016$ | 2015$ | 2016$ | 2015$ | |
| Burkina Faso CFA | - | 405 | - | - |
Sensitivity analysis
The Group's main foreign currency risk arises from cash and cash equivalents held in foreign currency bank accounts and trade and other payable amounts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. At 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 the Group's exposure to foreign currency risk is not considered material.
(f) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk (primarily on its cash and cash equivalents), which is the risk that a financial instrument's value will fluctuate as a result of changes in the market interest rates on interest-bearing financial instruments. The Group does not use derivatives to mitigate these exposures.
The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that as far as possible it maintains excess cash and cash equivalents in short terms deposit at interest rates maturing over 30-180 day rolling periods.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Company's Board governs the business on behalf of shareholders as a whole with the prime objective of protecting and enhancing shareholder value. The Board is committed to, and ensures that the:-
- (i) executive management runs the Group in accordance a high level of ethics and integrity;
- (ii) Board and management complies with all applicable laws and regulations;
- (iii) Company continually reviews the governance framework and practices to ensure it fulfils its corporate governance obligations.
Good corporate governance will evolve with the changing circumstances of a company and must be tailored to meet these circumstances. The Board endorses the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ('ASX CGP') however, as a junior exploration company, at this stage of the Company's corporate development, implementation of the ASX CGP is not practical in every instance given the modest size and scale of the Company operations.
During the year ended 30 June 2016, the Company considered the 3rd Edition of the ASX CGP. This Statement reports on the revised recommendations and outlines the main corporate governance practices employed by the Board. Where it has not adopted a particular recommendation, an explanation is provided.
This Corporate Governance Statement was approved by the Board on 27 October 2016 and is current as at that date in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.10.3. The Corporate Governance Statement will be published on the Company's website at www.riedelresources.com.au rather than contain it in its Annual Report.

A copy of the policy is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company's website and terms are consistent with ASX CGP
In accordance with this policy and ASX CGP, the Board has established the following measurable objectives in relation to gender diversity:-
- Recruiting from a diverse pool of candidates for all positions, including senior management and the Board;
- Identifying specific factors to take account of in recruitment and selection processes to encourage gender diversity;
- Developing programs to develop a broader pool of skilled and experienced senior management and board candidates, including workplace development programs, mentoring programs and targeted training and development; and
- Developing a culture which takes account of domestic responsibilities of employees.
The Company currently has 1 employee and it not a female. Further, there are no females on the Company's Board. If and when an opportunity to recruit at Board or Company level arises, the Company will consider such recruitment in accordance with its measurable objectives.
Board performance
The Board undertakes an annual self-assessment of its collective performance by way of a series of questionnaires. The results are collated and discussed at a Board meeting and any action plans are documented together with specific performance goals which are agreed for the coming year.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Cont')
The Chairman undertakes an annual assessment of the performance of individual directors and meets privately with each director to discuss this assessment. A director is nominated to review the individual performance of the Chairman and meets privately with him to discuss this assessment. During the financial year, due to the size of the Board and the Company, no formal assessment of the performance was conducted. The Board intends to re-implement the formal assessment of the performance of the Board and senior executives when it is appropriate.
Senior executive performance
The Managing Director undertakes an annual review of the performance of his direct reports and provides a report to the Board for consideration.
During the financial year, there is no Managing Director in the Company, in addition, due to the size of the Company, no formal assessment of the performance was conducted. The Board intends to re-implement the formal assessment of the performance of the senior executives when it is appropriate.
2. Structure of the Board
Board composition
The Directors determine the composition and size of the Board in accordance with the Company's Constitution. The Constitution empowers the Board to set upper and lower limits with the number of Directors not permitted to be less than three. There are currently four Directors appointed to the Board and their skills and experience, qualifications, term of office and independence status is set out in the Directors' Report.
Nominations committee
Due to the Company's size and scale, the Board has not established a sub-committee to undertake the responsibilities normally undertaken by a Nomination Committee. The Board is charged to undertake the responsibilities normally undertaken by a Nomination Committee.
Board succession/Board skills matrix
The Board has adopted a Board skills matrix which identifies its collective mix of skills and diversity. The Board's collective skills include financial, fundraising, industry knowledge, leadership, lobbying/networking, marketing/PR, risk management, strategic planning, technology/IT.
The Board skills matrix also identifies the demographic background of the Board as follows:-
| Male | 4 |
|---|---|
| Female | 0 |
| Age25-40 | |
| 41-55 | 2 |
| 56-70 | 2 |
| Over 70 |
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Cont')
The current composition of the Board is regarded as balanced with a complementary range of skills, independence, diversity and experience to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively.
Should the Company be in the position where it believes that it or a new director does not have the requisite skills and experience, the Company will ensure that appropriate training or development is provided to ensure that the current or new director has sufficient knowledge, skills and understanding of their responsibilities.
Director independence
Based on the definition of independence published in ASX CGP 2, only one Director is deemed to be Independent. The Board are not independent for the following reasons:-
Jeff Moore – Executive Chairman Mark Skiffington – A substantial shareholder Andrew Childs – Director of a substantial shareholder
Independent Decision Making
Majority of the Board is not independent and the Company recognises that this is a departure from ASX CGP 2. All Directors bring to the Board the requisite skills which are complementary to those of the other Directors and enable them to adequately discharge their responsibilities and bring independent judgments to bear on their decisions.
The Board Charter sets out the criteria the Board uses to determine director independence. Materiality thresholds used to assess director independence have not as yet been established however the Board considers a director to be independent where he or she is not a member of management and is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the director's ability to act in the best interests of the Company. The Board believes that the interests of the shareholders are best served by the current composition of the Board which is regarded as balanced with a complementary range of skills, diversity and experience as detailed in the Directors' Report.
The following measures are in place to ensure the decision making process of the Board is subject to independent judgments:-
- A standard item on each Board Meeting agenda requires Directors to focus on and declare any conflicts of interest in addition to those already declared;
- Directors are permitted to seek the advice of independent experts at the Company's expense, subject to the approval of the Chairman;
- All Directors must act all times in the interest of the Company; and
Adoption of these measures ensure that the interests of shareholders, as a whole, are pursued and not jeopardised by a lack of independence.
