CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW
Dear Shareholder,
This year has been one of consolidation, project acquisition and development with the intent to place the company in a strong position for the future. During the Global Financial Crisis company management concentrated on a process of building for the future and the achievements made over the last year have been outstanding, including:
==> picture [9 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- Securing funding for ongoing exploration and development of our Myrtle zinc project in the Northern Territory through a joint venture with Canadian major, Teck Resources (“Teck”). Teck can earn a 51% interest in the project by spending $5 million by 21 July 2014, and can increase that interest to 70% by spending a further $10 million (so a total of $15 million) by 21 July 2018. Teck is required to spend a minimum of $1 million and complete 2,000m of diamond core drilling by 21 July 2012 before it can withdraw, but with no retained interest.
The transaction with Teck necessitated two side agreements, one with Rio Tinto subsidiary, North Mining, to remove a $1/tonne payment on resources defined in any feasibility study conducted on Myrtle, and the other a deal with a third party to acquire additional ground adjacent to Myrtle.
We have been advised that Teck plan to undertake geophysical surveys in the second half of 2011 followed by the 2,000m of diamond core drilling required under the agreement.
==> picture [9 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- Negotiating the purchase of the Mt Fisher gold-nickel project from Avoca Resources. The project area covers 615 km[2] of highly prospective greenstone belt in Western Australia, including a previously defined gold-inregolith anomaly extending over 7km in strike length. Drilling by the company during July at Mt Fisher returned some excellent results.
The next goal for the company at Mt Fisher will be to define Mineral Resources at Mt Fisher from which some near term cash flow may be able to be realised.
==> picture [9 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- Negotiating an Option to Purchase a further area covering 170 km[2] at Mt Fisher covering the old Mt Fisher gold mine, and extensions north and south from the mine.
==> picture [9 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- Pegging a new phosphate project area in the Northern Territory where previous surface sampling and drilling has defined phosphate bearing strata over a 25 km strike length on the southern margin of the Georgina Basin.
==> picture [9 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- Raising sufficient funds through a share placement and exercise of options to ensure that the company can pursue its projects with vigour over the next two years.
The company can now move forward to add significant value to shareholders on three fronts instead of one. Exploration success at any one of these projects will result in a significant positive impact on the value of the Company.

PROJECTS
INTRODUCTION
The company has three projects, covering a range of commodities; zinc-lead, gold and phosphate, with each potentially a company making proposition should exploration success be achieved.

MT FISHER
At Mt Fisher in Western Australia (Figure 1), Rox has acquired a highly prospective area of 615 km[2] , well endowed with gold, and with strong potential for nickel, only 40km to the east of the prolific Yandal greenstone belt and 100km east of the main Wiluna greenstone belt (Figure 2) both of which have produced a number of multi-million ounce gold deposits.
Although there has been over 100,000 metres of drilling on the tenements, a more thorough review of the data reveals that most of the drilling is comprised of shallow RAB holes that barely pass through the regolith profile. Of the 3,900 holes drilled by previous companies, 80% are less than 50m deep, 16% are
2
PROJECTS
between 50-100m deep, and only 4% exceed 100m in depth. Over this area where the regolith profile can reach over 100m in depth, Rox believes that this drilling has not been an effective test of the gold potential.
A number of gold mineralised areas have been defined by previous explorers including the Dam-Dirks trend, the Moray Reef, and Fisher East (Figure 3).
In addition to the area acquired from Avoca Resources, Rox has secured an Option to acquire a further area of 170 km[2] , including the Mt Fisher gold mine which has produced approximately 4,500 ozs from historic underground mining and 22,500 ozs from open pit mining, and is open at depth and down plunge. There are several other strong targets for drill testing as well. The total area under exploration by Rox at Mt Fisher is 785 km[2] (Figure 3).
There are a number of near term production opportunities at Mt Fisher, including Moray Reef, Mt Fisher mine extensions, Damsel oxide, and re-treatment of tailings and low grade stockpiles at Mt Fisher mine.
Three parallel structures at the Dam-Dirks prospect define a 5-7km long gold-in-regolith anomaly (Figure 4) which is largely untested at depth. There are numerous high grade drill results over the project area which is divided into a number of discrete prospect areas.
Along the Dam prospect trend which extends for over 5km (Figure 4), gold has been indicated to occur at several prospects in the following drill holes;
Dam North: 95FIR1251, 1m @ 5.66 g/tAu from 35m 94FIR784, 5m @ 2.98 g/tAu from 33m Dam Central: 96FIR1840, 1m @ 9.23 g/tAu from 53m 96FIR1841, 2m @ 16.6 g/tAu from 22m 93FIR606, 10m @ 4.42 g/tAu from 24m 93FIR608, 3m @ 4.39 g/tAu from 37m 93FIR609, 4m @ 4.66 g/tAu from 32m 94FID005, 4m @ 3.48 g/tAu from 212m, and 4m @ 4.74 g/tAu from 226m Dam South: DDC3, 1m @ 9.20 g/tAu from 102m DDC4, 2m @ 2.51 g/tAu from 104m Dam Southwest: 94FID018, 6m @ 1.08 g/tAu from 30m
Recent drilling by Rox has defined the potential for a significant zone of gold mineralisation at depth at Dam Central with results including 4m @ 5.53 g/tAu from 106m and 2m @ 4.83 g/tAu from 149m in hole MFRC004. This hole is adjacent to hole 94FID005 listed above.
Adjacent to the Dam trend is a sub-parallel trend from Damsel to Dam Southeast (Figure 4). Drill results define two main prospect areas;

PROJECTS
Damsel: MFRC010, 9m @ 4.43 g/tAu from 54m MFRC001, 1m @ 8.40 g/tAu from 205m MFA214, 4m @ 6.12 g/tAu from 75m DDC12, 9m @ 2.31 g/tAu from 155m MFA153, 18m @ 3.44 g/tAu from 55m DDC8, 6m @ 3.96 g/tAu from 128m
Dam Southeast: 93FIR543, 15m @ 4.15 g/tAu from 30m 94FID015, 2m @ 8.85 g/tAu from 40m 94FIR809, 1m @ 15.9 g/tAu from 28m 94FIR938, 2m @ 5.45 g/tAu from 26m
A significant zone of oxide gold mineralisation is indicated at Damsel over a strike length of 500m and follow up drilling to define a Mineral Resource there is planned for the second half of 2011.
The third sub-parallel trend is the Dirks-Nile trend, with drilling results such as;
Dirks: MFA254, 2m @ 13.7 g/tAu from 54m MFA166, 4m @ 2.33 g/tAu from 49m
Nile: NRC003, 6m @ 1.23 g/tAu from 33m and 4m @ 3.44 g/tAu from 107m
Close to the old Mt Fisher mine and on mining lease M53/09, 100% owned by Rox, lies the Moray Reef prospect (Figure 5). Shallow underground mining has taken place on this narrow, steeply dipping high grade quartz reef, but no production records exist. Drilling by the previous owners has defined mineralisation over a strike length of 350m to a depth of around 100m, and recorded exceptional results such as listed below. The mineralisation is still open along strike and at depth and the prospect requires further drilling.
Moray Reef:
MTFC009, 1m @ 189 g/t Au from 71m MTFC002, 3m @ 67.9 g/t Au from 45m MTFC020, 1m @ 64.9 g/tAu from 22m WTRC002, 3m @ 55.1 g/tAu from 47m MTFC044, 1m @ 54.4 g/tAu from 46m MTFC062, 1m @ 19.8 g/tAu from 92m MTFC036, 2m @ 6.47 g/tAu from 61m MTFC022, 3m @ 6.89 g/tAu from 85m MTFC010, 4m @ 6.44 g/tAu from 45m
Gold mineralisation at the old Mt Fisher gold mine which produced approximately 4,500 ozs from historic underground mining and 22,500 ozs from open pit mining, is open at depth and down plunge (Figures 6 and 7). Drilling beneath the open pit indicates that extensions to the existing mineralised zone are present. In addition to these, there are a number of magnetic targets along strike north and south of the Mt Fisher mine (Figure 8) which the company will also drill test in the second half of 2011.

PROJECTS
MYRTLE
Rox believes the Myrtle project area has the potential for a major zinc-lead deposit, and to bring in funding and expertise to progress the project has signed an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Teck Australia Ltd. (“Teck”) to explore the company‟s tenements which cover 669 km[2] adjacent to the world class McArthur River zinc-lead deposit in the Northern Territory (Figure 9). The terms of the agreement require Teck to spend $5 million to earn an initial 51% interest within 4 years including a minimum of $1 million and 2,000 metres of drilling by 21 July 2012. Teck can increase its interest in the project to 70% by spending an additional $10 million ($15 million in total) over an additional 4 years.
A SEDEX style deposit has been identified by Rox at the Myrtle prospect, where an Inferred Mineral Resource of 43.6 million tonnes grading 4.09% zinc and 0.95% lead has been delineated to JORC Code standards. Thick drill intercepts of prospective stratigraphy carrying significant zinc-lead grades have already been made (Figure 10) but only a small portion of the prospective area has been drilled, and Rox is extremely confident the resource will to continue to grow with further drilling. A higher grade core of 15.3 million tonnes grading 5.45% zinc and 1.40% lead is present, and a large mineralised system is indicated. Several other prospects in the tenement area have similar potential to Myrtle but are at an early stage of exploration.
Rox has been advised that during the second half of 2011 Teck plan to undertake Induced Polarisation (IP) and ground gravity geophysical surveys to confirm and identify new targets, followed by diamond core drilling.

MARQUA
Rox owns 100% of the Marqua project in the Northern Territory located 300km south-west of Mt Isa (Figure 11), pegging the 2,600 km[2] area in August 2010 for its potential to host a large phosphate deposit. The tenements are now granted to the company. A 25 km long strike length of phosphate bearing rocks (Figure 12) has been identified by surface sampling (up to 39.4% P2O5) and drilling by previous explorers has recorded high grade intercepts, including:
QDA003, 2m @ 45.8% P2O5 from 1m, QDA002, 3m @ 25.1% P2O5 from 3m, and QDA068, 5m @ 26.1% P2O5 from 0m (surface) all at the Foss Hill prospect,
QDA046, 5m @ 23.7% P2O5 from 12m, and QDA045, 6m @ 19.9% P2O5 from 32m at the Coquina Creek prospect,
QDA019, 3m @ 16.9% P2O5 from 19m at the Red Heart prospect, and
QDA027, 3m @ 21.0% P2O5 from 21m at the White Hill prospect
Phosphate deposits in the Georgina Basin (Figure 13) generally cover large areas along relatively thin horizons (i.e. 1-7 metres thick) with the high grade DSO (direct shipping ore) of >30% P2O5 covering much smaller areas.
Previous drilling was wide spaced and there is the potential for a sizeable phosphate resource to be present, and Rox believes the resource target* could easily be 50-100 Mt grading 15-20% P2O5 or greater with zones of high-grade direct shipping ore (DSO) contained within it. The project is located only 250 km from the nearest railhead and gas pipeline at Phosphate Hill.
10
PROJECTS
During the second half of 2011 Rox is planning to undertake exploration work to further map the extent of the prospective phosphate horizon and undertake an RC drilling programme to further investigate the size potential of the phosphate mineralised zone.
Marqua is well situated to supply phosphate to the growing markets in Asia and North America. Phosphate is an essential component of fertilisers for the agricultural industries around the world. There are currently no substitutes for phosphate, so demand should keep rising with the expansion of agricultural activities in the developing and developed world.
* The potential quantity and grade of the resource target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results and Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Mr Ian Mulholland BSc (Hons), MSc, FAusIMM, FAIG, FSEG, MAICD, who is a Fellow of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Mulholland has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Mulholland is a full time employee of the Company and consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Remuneration Committee
The full Board acts as the Remuneration Committee and is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors, the Managing Director (MD) and the senior management team.
The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors and senior managers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team.
Remuneration Philosophy
The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and executives.
To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

DIRECTORS REPORT
Remuneration Structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Senior Manager remuneration is separate and distinct.
Non-Executive Director Remuneration
Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst keeping costs acceptable to shareholders.
Structure
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the Directors as agreed. The latest determination was in 2004 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $150,000 per year.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers the fees paid to NonExecutive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.
Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the years ending 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010 is detailed later in this report.
Non-Executive Directors have long been encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company (purchased by the Director on market). It is considered good governance for Directors to have a stake in the Company whose board he or she sits. In addition long term incentives in the form of options may be awarded to Non-Executive Directors, subject to shareholder approval, in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.
Senior Manager and Executive Director Remuneration
Objective
The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
-
reward executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;
-
align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;
-
link reward with the strategic goals; and
-
ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
Structure
In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration the Board considered market conditions and remuneration paid to senior executives of companies similar in nature to Rox Resources Limited.
Remuneration consists of the following key elements:
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
-
Fixed Remuneration
-
Variable Remuneration – short term incentive (“STI”), and
-
long term incentive (“LTI”)
19
DIRECTORS REPORT
Fixed Remuneration
Objective
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market.
Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board and the process consists of a review of individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.
Structure
Senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company.
The fixed remuneration component of the most highly remunerated senior managers is detailed later in this report.
Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentive (“STI”)
Objective
The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the Company‟s operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the executive to achieve those operational targets and such that the cost to the Company is reasonable in the circumstances.
Structure
Actual STI payments granted to executives depend on the extent to which specific targets set at the beginning of the review period, being a calendar year. The targets consist of a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPI‟s) covering both financial and non-financial, corporate and individual measures of performance. Typically included are measures such as contribution to exploration success, share price appreciation, risk management and cash flow sustainability. These measures were chosen as they represent the key drivers for the short term success of the business and provide a framework for delivering long term value.
The Board has predetermined benchmarks that must be met in order to trigger payments under the STI scheme. On an annual basis, after consideration of performance against KPI‟s, the Board, acting as a Remuneration Committee, determines the amount, if any, of the STI to be paid to each executive. This process usually occurs in the first quarter of the calendar year. Payments made are delivered as a cash bonus in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.
STI bonus for 2010 and 2011 financial years
There were no incentive bonuses for either the 2011 or 2010 financial year.
For the year ending 31[st] Dec 2011 the following Key Performance Indicators were agreed for senior management:
-
Complete the Joint Venture documentation and achieve significant advances at Myrtle.
-
Demonstrate potential resources of greater than 20Mt @ 20% P2 O5 at Marqua;
20
DIRECTORS REPORT
-
Continue to build project portfolio, including acquisition of a new principal project for the company;
-
Demonstrate leadership skills; and
-
Continue share price appreciation.
The minimum amount payable assuming no executives meet their KPI‟s is nil. There have been no alterations to the STI bonus plans since their grant date.
Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (“LTI”)
Objective
The objective of the LTI plan is to reward senior managers in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.
As such LTI grants are only made to executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth.
Structure
LTI grants to executives are delivered in the form of options.
The options, when issued to executives, will not be exercisable for a price less than the then current market price of the Company‟s shares. The grant of LTI‟s are reviewed annually, though LTI‟s may not be granted each year. Exercise price and performance hurdles, if any, are determined at the time of grant of the LTI.
To date no performance hurdles have been set on options issued to executives. The Company believes that as options are issued at not less than the current market price of the Company‟s shares there is an inherent performance hurdle on those options as the share price of the Company‟s shares have to increase significantly before there is any reward to the executive.
Employment Contracts
The Managing Director, Mr Mulholland is employed under contract. The current employment contract expires on 1[st] January 2013, at which time the Company may chose to commence negotiation to enter into a new employment contract with Mr Mulholland. Under the terms of the present contact:

Value of Options granted as part of Remuneration
There were no options granted as remuneration during the 2011 period.
There were no alterations to the terms and conditions of options granted as remuneration since their grant date. During the year 2,000,000 options exercisable at $0.35 issued to the Mulholland lapsed (2010: nil). During the year 3,750,000 compensation options were exercised at $0.038 each.
The Company‟s remuneration policy prohibits directors and executives from entering into transactions or arrangements which limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Statement
Approach to Corporate Governance
Rox Resources Limited ( Company ) has adopted systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. Some of these policies and procedures are summarised in this statement. Commensurate with the spirit of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 2[nd] edition ( Principles & Recommendations ), the Company has followed each recommendation where the Board has considered the recommendation to be an appropriate benchmark for its corporate governance practices. Where the Company's corporate governance practices follow a recommendation, the Board has made appropriate statements reporting on the adoption of the recommendation. In compliance with the "if not, why not" reporting regime, where, after due consideration, the Company's corporate governance practices depart from a recommendation, the Board has offered full disclosure and an explanation for the adoption of its own practice.
Further information about the Company's corporate governance practices may be found on the Company's website at www.roxresources.com.au, under the section marked "Corporate Governance".
The Company reports below on how it has followed (or otherwise departed from) each of the Principles & Recommendations during the 2010/2011 financial year ( Reporting Period ). The Principles & Recommendations were amended in 2010, and these amendments apply to the Company's first financial year commencing on or after 1 January 2011. Accordingly, disclosure against the Principles & Recommendations as amended in 2010 will be made in relation to the Company's financial year ending 30 June 2012. The report below is made against the Principles & Recommendations prior to their amendment in 2010.
However, the Company has made a partial early transition to the amended Principles & Recommendations by adopting a Diversity Policy in accordance with the new Recommendation 3.2. A summary of the Diversity Policy is available on the Company‟s website.
Board
Roles and responsibilities of the Board and Senior Executives (Recommendations: 1.1, 1.3)
The Company has established the functions reserved to the Board, and those delegated to senior executives and has set out these functions in its Board Charter.
The Board is collectively responsible for promoting the success of the Company through its key functions of overseeing the management of the Company, providing overall corporate governance of the Company, monitoring the financial performance of the Company, engaging appropriate management commensurate with the Company's structure and objectives, involvement in the development of corporate strategy and performance objectives, and reviewing, ratifying and monitoring systems of risk management and internal control, codes of conduct and legal compliance.
Senior executives are responsible for supporting the Managing Director and assisting the Managing Director in implementing the running of the general operations and financial business of the Company, in accordance with the delegated authority of the Board. Senior executives are responsible for reporting all matters which fall within the Company's materiality thresholds at first instance to the Managing Director or, if the matter concerns the Managing Director, directly to the Chair or the lead independent director, as appropriate.
The Company's Board Charter is available on the Company's website.
Skills, experience, expertise and period of office of each Director (Recommendation: 2.6)
A profile of each Director setting out their skills, experience, expertise and period of office is set out in the Directors' Report.
26
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Director independence (Recommendations: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.6)
The Board does not have a majority of directors who are independent. The Board considers that the current composition of the Board is adequate for the Company‟s current size and operations, and includes an appropriate mix of skills and expertise, relevant to the Company‟s business.
The sole independent director of the Company is Jeff Gresham. Mr Gresham is independent as he is a non-executive director who is not a member of management and who is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of his judgment.
The Board considers the independence of directors having regard to the relationships listed in Box 2.1 of the Principles & Recommendations and the Company's materiality thresholds.
The Board has agreed on, and set out in the Company‟s Board Charter, the following guidelines for assessing the materiality of matters:
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
-
Balance sheet items are material if they have a value of more than 10% of pro-forma net asset.
-
Profit and loss items are material if they will have an impact on the current year operating result of 10% or more.
-
Items are also material if they impact on the reputation of the Company, involve a breach of legislation, are outside the ordinary course of business, could affect the Company‟s rights to its assets, if accumulated would trigger the quantitative tests, involve a contingent liability that would have a probable effect of 10% or more on balance sheet or profit and loss items, or will have an effect on operations which is likely to result in an increase or decrease in net income or dividend distribution of more than 10%.
-
Contracts will be considered material if they are outside the ordinary course of business, contain exceptionally onerous provisions in the opinion of the Board, impact on income or distribution in excess of the quantitative tests, there is a likelihood that either party will default, and the default may trigger any of the quantitative or qualitative tests, are essential to the activities of the Company and cannot be replaced, or cannot be replaced without an increase in cost which triggers any of the quantitative tests, contain or trigger change of control provisions, are between or for the benefit of related parties, or otherwise trigger the quantitative tests.
The non-independent directors of the Company are Ian Mulholland and Brett Dickson.
The independent Chair of the Board is Jeff Gresham. The Managing Director is Ian Mulholland.
Independent professional advice (Recommendation: 2.6)
To assist directors with independent judgement, it is the Board's policy that if a director considers it necessary to obtain independent professional advice to properly discharge the responsibility of their office as a director then, provided the director first obtains approval from the Chair for incurring such expense, the Company will pay the reasonable expenses associated with obtaining such advice.
Selection and (Re)Appointment of Directors (Recommendation: 2.6)
In determining candidates for the Board, the Nomination Committee (or equivalent) follows a prescribed process whereby it evaluates the mix of skills, experience and expertise of the existing Board. In particular, the Nomination Committee (or equivalent) is to identify the particular skills that will best increase the Board's effectiveness. Consideration is also given to the balance of independent directors. Potential candidates are identified and, if relevant, the Nomination Committee (or equivalent) recommends an appropriate candidate for appointment to the Board. Any appointment made by the Board is subject to ratification by shareholders at the next general meeting.
The Board recognises that Board renewal is critical to performance and the impact of Board tenure on succession planning. Each director other than the Managing Director, must not hold office (without reelection) past the third annual general meeting of the Company following the director's appointment or three years following that director's last election or appointment (whichever is the longer). However, a director
27
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the Company. At each annual general meeting a minimum of one director or one third of the total number of directors must resign. A director who retires at an annual general meeting is eligible for re-election at that meeting. Re-appointment of directors is not automatic.
The Company's Policy and Procedure for the Selection and (Re)Appointment of Directors is available on the Company's website.
Board committees
Nomination Committee (Recommendations: 2.4, 2.6)
The composition of the Board does not make the establishment of a separate Nomination Committee practicable, and the Board believes that there would be no efficiencies or other benefits gained by establishing a separate Nomination Committee. Accordingly, the Board performs the role of the Nomination Committee. Items that are usually required to be discussed by a Nomination Committee are marked as separate agenda items at Board meetings when required. When the Board convenes as the Nomination Committee it carries out those functions which are delegated to it in the Company‟s Nomination Committee Charter. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of the Nomination Committee by ensuring that the director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions.
The full Board did not officially convene as a Nomination Committee during the Reporting Period, however nomination-related discussions occurred from time to time during the year as required.
To assist the Board to fulfil its function as the Nomination Committee, it has adopted a Nomination Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, functions and responsibilities of the Nomination Committee. A copy of the Nomination Committee Charter is available on the Company's website.
Audit Committee
(Recommendations: 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4)
The Board has not established a separate Audit Committee, and therefore is not structured in accordance with Recommendation 4.2. As the Board does not consist of only non-executive directors and Mr Gresham, who is Chair of the Board, maintains the Chair during the audit related discussions, the Company is unable to establish an Audit Committee that would comply with the structural requirements of Recommendation 4.2. The Board believes that the composition of the Board is not suitable for the formation of a separate Audit Committee, and that there would be no efficiencies or other benefits gained by establishing a separate Audit Committee. Accordingly, the Board performs the role of Audit Committee. Items that are usually required to be discussed by an Audit Committee are marked as separate agenda items at Board meetings when required. When the Board convenes as the Audit Committee it carries out those functions which are delegated to it in the Company‟s Audit Committee Charter. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of the Audit Committee by ensuring that the director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions. The independent director is available to meet separately with the external auditor should this be considered necessary.
The full Board, in its capacity as the Audit Committee, held two meetings during the Reporting Period. Details of the directors‟ attendance at the Audit Committee meeting are set out in the Directors‟ Report. To assist the Board to fulfil its function as the Audit Committee, the Board has adopted an Audit Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, functions and responsibilities of the Audit Committee.
Details of each of the director's qualifications are set out in the Directors' Report. All Board members have substantial industry knowledge and experience and consider themselves to be financially literate. Further, Brett Dickson is a Certified Practising Accountant with a Bachelors Degree in Economics and Finance.
The Company has established procedures for the selection, appointment and rotation of its external auditor. The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the appointment of a new external auditor when any vacancy arises, as recommended by the Audit Committee (or its equivalent). Candidates for the position of external auditor must demonstrate complete independence from the Company through the engagement period. The Board may otherwise select an external auditor based on criteria relevant to the Company's business and circumstances. The performance of the external auditor is
28

reviewed on an annual basis by the Audit Committee (or its equivalent) and any recommendations are made to the Board.

Remuneration Committee
(Recommendations: 8.1, 8.2, 8.3)
The composition of the Board does not make the establishment of a separate Remuneration Committee practicable, and the Board believes that there would be no efficiencies or other benefits gained by establishing a separate Remuneration Committee. Accordingly, the Board performs the role of Remuneration Committee. Items that are usually required to be discussed by a Remuneration Committee are marked as separate agenda items at Board meetings when required. When the Board convenes as the Remuneration Committee it carries out those functions which are delegated to it in the Company‟s Remuneration Committee Charter. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of the Remuneration Committee by ensuring that the director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions.
The full Board, in its capacity as the Remuneration Committee, held one meeting during the Reporting Period. Details of the directors‟ attendance at the Remuneration Committee meeting are set out in the Directors‟ Report. To assist the Board to fulfil its function as the Remuneration Committee, the Board has adopted a Remuneration Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, functions and responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee.
Details of remuneration, including the Company‟s policy on remuneration, are contained in the “Remuneration Report” which forms of part of the Directors‟ Report.
The Board seeks to set aggregate non-executive director remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Non-executive directors have long been encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company (purchased by the director on market). It is considered good governance for directors to have a stake in the Company whose board he or she sits. From time to time the Company may grant options to non-executive directors. The grant of options is designed to recognise and reward efforts for the benefit of the Company. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at general meeting.
The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to: reward executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks; align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; link reward with the strategic goals; and ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Board may engage an external consultant to provide independent advice detailing market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles. Remuneration consists of the following key elements: fixed remuneration; and variable remuneration – long term incentive. Long term incentives are delivered in the form of options.
There are no termination or retirement benefits for non-executive directors (other than for superannuation).
The Company's Remuneration Committee Charter includes a statement of the Company's policy on prohibiting transactions in associated products which limit the risk of participating in unvested entitlements under any equity based remuneration schemes.
The Company's Remuneration Committee Charter is available on the Company's website.

Performance evaluation
Senior executives (Recommendations: 1.2, 1.3)
The Managing Director is responsible for evaluating the performance of senior executives. The evaluations are performed by conducting interviews with the senior executives as required. During the interview key performance indicators are set and agreed on, which will form the basis for the following years‟ review.
The Chair, at least annually, evaluates the performance of the Managing Director by formal interview. In reviewing the performance of the Managing Director, performance against pre-determined budgets and performance criteria set the previous year (if any) is assessed.
During the Reporting Period an evaluation of senior executives took place in accordance with the process disclosed above.
Board, its committees and individual directors (Recommendations: 2.5, 2.6)
The Chair is responsible for evaluation of the Board and, when deemed appropriate, Board committees and individual directors.
The Chair evaluates the Board and, when deemed appropriate, Board committees and individual directors by utilising questionnaires which are completed by each director. The Chair, in consultation with the Company Secretary, then reviews the questionnaires and holds round table discussions with the Board to discuss the questionnaires. The Chair holds discussions with individual directors, if required.
During the Reporting Period an evaluation of the Board took place in accordance with the process disclosed above. An evaluation of individual directors did not take place during the Reporting Period.
Ethical and responsible decision making
Code of Conduct (Recommendations: 3.1, 3.3)
The Company has established a Code of Conduct as to the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company's integrity, the practices necessary to take into account its legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of its stakeholders, and the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.
A summary of the Company's Code of Conduct is available on the Company website.
Policy for Trading in Company Securities (Recommendations: 3.2, 3.3)
The Company has established a Policy for Trading in Company Securities by directors, senior executives, employees and their “connected persons” (which includes spouses and controlled entities).
A copy of the Company's Policy for Trading in Company Securities is available on the Company's website.
Continuous Disclosure (Recommendations: 5.1, 5.2)
The Company has established written policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and accountability at a senior executive level for that compliance.

Shareholder Communication (Recommendations: 6.1, 6.2)
The Company has designed a communications policy for promoting effective communication with shareholders and encouraging shareholder participation at general meetings.
A copy of the Company's Shareholder Communication Policy is available on the Company's website.
Risk Management Recommendations: 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4)
The Board has adopted a Risk Management Policy and Risk Management Procedures. Under the Risk Management Policy, the Board oversees the processes by which risks are managed. This includes defining the Company's risk appetite, monitoring of risk performance and those risks that may have a material impact to the business. Management is responsible for the implementation of the risk management and internal control system to manage the Company's risks and to report to the Board whether those risks are being effectively managed.
In addition, the following risk management measures have been adopted by the Board to manage the Company's material business risks:
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
-
the Board has established authority limits for management, which, if proposed to be exceeded, requires prior Board approval;
-
the Board has adopted a compliance procedure for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the Company's continuous disclosure obligations; and
-
the Board has adopted a corporate governance manual which contains other policies to assist the Company to establish and maintain its governance practices.
The Company's system to manage its material business risks includes the preparation of a risk register by management to identify the Company's material business risks, analyse those risks, evaluate those risks (including assigning a risk owner to each risk) and treat those risks. Risks and their management are to be monitored and reviewed at least half yearly by senior management. The risk register is to be updated and a report submitted to the Managing Director. The Managing Director is to provide a risk report at least half yearly to the Board and an annual review of the risk profile is to be undertaken to ensure relevancy. Specific areas of risk that were identified in the report included operational activities, asset management (including title to exploration and mining leases) and staff.
The Board has required management to design, implement and maintain risk management and internal control systems to manage the Company's material business risks. The Board also requires management to report to it confirming that those risks are being managed effectively. The Board has received a report from management as to the effectiveness of the Company's management of its material business risks for the Reporting Period.
The Managing Director and the Finance Director have provided a declaration to the Board in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act and have assured the Board that such declaration is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.
A summary of the Company's Risk Management Policy is available on the Company's website.

| Interpretation 19 |
Interpretation 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments This interpretation clarifies that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability are “consideration paid” in accordance with paragraph 41 of IAS 39. As a result, the financial liability is derecognised and the equity instruments issued are treated as consideration paid to extinguish that financial liability. The interpretation states that equity instruments issued as payment of a debt should be measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if this can be determined reliably. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is not reliably determinable, the equity instruments should be measured by reference to the fair value of the financial liability extinguished as of the date of extinguishment. |

It replaces parts of AASB 127_Consolidated and_ Separate Financial Statements_dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and Interpretation 112 _Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. This is likely to lead to more entities being consolidated into the group. |

| AASB 11 | AASB 11 replaces AASB 131_Interests in Joint Ventures_ and Interpretation 113_Jointly- controlled Entities – Non-_ _monetary Contributions by Ventures._AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control exists may change. In addition AASB 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves is accounted for by recognising the share of those assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets is accounted for using the equity method. This may result in a change in the accounting for the joint arrangements held by the group. |

Entities that are related by virtue of being controlled by the same government can provide reduced related party disclosures. |

| AASB 9 - Financial Instruments |
AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets resulting from the first part of Phase 1 of the IASB‟s project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement). These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes from AASB 139 are described below. (a) Financial assets are classified based on (1) the objective of the entity‟s business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. This replaces the numerous categories of financial assets in AASB 139, each of which had its own classification criteria. (b) AASB 9 allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument. (c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases. |

| AASB 2009- 14 Amendments to Australian Interpretation – Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement |
These amendments arise from the issuance of Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (Amendments to IFRIC 14). The requirements of IFRIC 14 meant that some entities that were subject to minimum funding requirements could not treat any surplus in a defined benefit pension plan as an economic benefit. The amendment requires entities to treat the benefit of such an early payment as a pension asset. Subsequently, the remaining surplus in the plan, if any, is subject to the same analysis as if no prepayment had been made. |

Emphasises the interaction between quantitative and qualitative AASB 7 disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments. Clarifies that an entity will present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. Provides guidance to illustrate how to apply disclosure principles in AASB 134 for significant events and transactions. Clarifies that when the fair value of award credits is measured based on the value of the awards for which they could be redeemed, the amount of discounts or incentives otherwise granted to customers not participating in the award credit scheme, is to be taken into account. |

Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets. AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. |

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
(c) Summary of significant accounting policies
- (i) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Rox Resources Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the „Consolidated Entity‟).
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Consolidated Entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a group controls another entity.
The financial statements if the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent Company, using consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Consolidated Entity and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Consolidated Entity.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.
Minority interests not held by the Consolidated Entity are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the income statement and are presented within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders‟ equity.
(ii) Operating Segment reporting – refer Note 5
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity‟s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors when determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors.
Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to chief operating decision makers – being the executive management team.
The Consolidated Entity aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are similar in each of the following respects:
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

-
Nature of the products and services
-
Nature of the production processes
-
Type or class of customer for the products and services
-
Methods used to distribute the products or provide the services; and where applicable
-
Nature of the regulatory environment
Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria of AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to the users of the financial statements.
(iii) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
47
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
(iv) Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale and measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction. They are not depreciated or amortised. For an asset or disposal group to be classified as held for sale, it must be available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale must be highly probable.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the income statement and the assets and liabilities are presented separately on the face of the balance sheet.
(v) Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are written off in the year they are incurred apart from acquisition costs which 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 reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Where an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated acquisition costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.
Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the development phase until production commences.
(vi) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Consolidated Entity becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(vii) Issued capital
Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Consolidated Entity.
Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction, net of tax, of the share proceeds received.
(viii) Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary difference at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
48
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:
-
except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or 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; and
-
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
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:
-
except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference 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; and
-
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting 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.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
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 reporting date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the preferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(ix) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables generally have 30 day terms and are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.
(x) Equipment
All classes of equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the specific asset as follows:
2011 2010 Computers 3 years 3 years Office Equipment 3 – 4 years 3 - 4 years
49
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
Impairment
The carrying values of equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset‟s value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
An impairment exists when the carrying values of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
Derecognition
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognised.
(xi) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and long service leave.
Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and other employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the present value of future cash outflows, the market yield as at the reporting date on national government bonds, which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability, are used.
(xii) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Interest
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
(xiii) Leases
Leases are classified at the 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 of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis.
Contingent rentals are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which they are incurred.
50
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
(xiv) Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Consolidated Entity makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its 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 asset‟s 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 groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
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 risk specific to the asset.
Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset‟s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset‟s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
(xv) Goods and service tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(xvi) Earnings/loss per share
Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit from ordinary activities after related income tax expense by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
51
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
Diluted earnings/loss per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members, adjusted for:
-
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
-
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
-
other discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;
divided by the weighted average of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus element.
(xvii) Share based payment transactions
The Consolidated Entity provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Consolidated Entity in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares („equity-settled transactions‟).
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.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Rox 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 Consolidated Entity, 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 non vesting and market conditions.
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 transactions 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 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.
(xviii) Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Consolidated Entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, being Australia. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year end exchange rate.
52
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
(xix) Available-for-sale investments
Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as availablefor-sale. After initial recognition available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets are determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments with no active market, fair values are determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include: using recent arm‟s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models making as much use of available and supportable market data as possible and keeping judgemental inputs to a minimum.
Impairment
If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost and its current value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to the profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the increase in an instrument‟s fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.
NOTE 3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES
Overview
The Consolidated Entity has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

credit risk
-
liquidity risk
-
market risk
-
price risk
This note presents information about the Consolidated Entity‟s exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Consolidated Entity through regular reviews of the risks.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Consolidated Entity if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Consolidated Entity‟s receivables from customers and investment securities. For the Consolidated Entity it arises from receivables due from subsidiaries, if any.
Trade and other receivables
As the Consolidated Entity operates in the mining exploration sector, it does not have trade receivables and therefore is not exposed to credit risk in relation to trade receivables.
Presently, the Consolidated Entity undertakes exploration and evaluation activities in Australia. At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.

None of the Consolidated Entity‟s trade and other receivables are past due (2010: nil). At 30 June 2011 the Consolidated Entity does not have any collective impairments on its other receivables (2010: nil).
Guarantees
Company policy is to provide financial guarantees only to wholly-owned subsidiaries. At the date of this report there are no outstanding guarantees.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Consolidated Entity‟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 Consolidated Entity‟s reputation.
The Consolidated Entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
The Consolidated Entity does not anticipate the need to raise additional capital in the next 12 months to meet forecasted exploration activities.
Typically the Consolidated Entity ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 15 months, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements:

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 Consolidated Entity‟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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES (cont’d)
Currency risk
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to currency risk on investments and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Company entities, primarily the Australian dollar (AUD), but also the United States Dollar (USD). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are AUD and USD.
The Consolidated Entity has not entered into any derivative financial instruments to hedge such transactions and anticipated future receipts or payments that are denominated in a foreign currency.
The Consolidated Entity considers that its exposure to currency risk is minimal and has not developed any policies or procedures to manage such risk.
Exposure to currency risk
The Consolidated Entity‟s exposure to foreign currency risk at balance date was Nil (2010: Nil)
Price Risk
Equity securities price risk arises from investments in equity securities. The Consolidated Entity does not actively invest in equity securities and its exposure to price risk is minimal, though from time to time it will acquire holdings in equity securities as a result of dealings in its exploration interests. The Consolidated Entity reviews its portfolio at least each quarter. The equity investments held by the Company are publicly traded on the ASX (Australian Securities Exchange) and as such there is a ready market for the investments at most times.
The financial instruments exposed to movements in equity prices are as follows:
| Carrying amount | Carrying amount | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Note | 2011 | 2010 | |||
| Available for sale | investments | 12 | 33,750 | 60,000 | |

| Share Price Sensitivity | +5% | 1,687 | 3,000 | - | - |
| Share Price Sensitivity | -5% | (1,687) | (3,000) | - | - |
Interest rate risk
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to interest rate risk. The Consolidated Entity considers that its exposure to interest risk is minimal, however it has a policy of monitoring interest rates offered by competing financial institutions to ensure it is aware of of market trends and it receives competitive interest rates.
Profile
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Consolidated Entity‟s interest-bearing financial instruments was:
| Consolidated | Consolidated | |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying | amount | |
| 2011 | 2010 | |
| Variable rate instruments | ||
| Financial assets | 4,361,129 | 795,577 |
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
The Consolidated Entity does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Consolidated Entity does not carry any derivative or hedging instruments. Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.
The Consolidated Entity holds financial assets subject to variable interest rates and fluctuating interest rates would affect the Group‟s profit and equity. A change of 100 basis points in variable interest rates would have
55
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES (cont’d)
increased or decreased the Consolidated Entity‟s equity and profit by $43,611 (2010: $7,956), and would have had the same effect on cash flow. The difference between 2011 and 2010 reflects the difference in value of financial assets subject to variable interest rates. The difference in interest rates during this and the previous financial period have had no material impact on the results of the Consolidated Entity. The 1% sensitivity is based on reasonable possible movements over a financial year, after observation of a range of actual historical rate movement over the past five years.
Capital Management
When managing capital, managements objective is to ensure the Consolidated Entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Consolidated Entity.
The group will raise equity through the issue of shares from time to time as the board sees fit to ensure it meets its objective of continuing as a going concern. The group does not have any borrowings and has no current plans to obtain any debt facilities, as a result the Consolidated Entity‟s total capital is defined as shareholders‟ equity and at 30 June stood at:
| nd at 30 June stood at: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Consolidated | ||
| 2011 | 2010 | |
| Equity | 4,679,868 | 793,599 |
The Consolidated Entity is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements
Fair Values
Other than for available for sale investments the net fair value of assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value because of their short term to maturity.
The Consolidated Entity uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:
Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of the financial instruments as well as the methods used to estimate the fair values are summarised in the table below:
| Consolidated | 30 June 2011 | 30 June 2011 | 30 June 2010 | 30 June 2010 | ||||

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 4 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTMATES 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 and estimates on historical experience and on various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods.
Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements.
Exploration and Evaluation
The Consolidated Entity‟s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in note 2 to the accounts. The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves have been found. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under our policy, we conclude that we are unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the Income Statement.
NOTE 5 SEGMENT INFORMATION
Identification of Reportable Segments
The Consolidated Entity has based its operating segment on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The Consolidated Entity currently does not have production and is only involved in exploration. As a consequence, activities in the operating segment are identified by management based on the manner in which resources are allocated, the nature of the resources provided and the identity of service line manager and country of expenditure. Discrete financial information about each of these areas is reported to the executive management team on a monthly basis.
Based on these criteria, the Consolidated Entity has only one operating segment, being exploration, and the segment operations and results are the same as the Consolidated Entity results.
During the year, the Consolidated Entity did not commence production and thus has no revenues from external customers. Exploration was limited to within Australia and none of the assets of the Consolidated Entity at year-end are located in a foreign country.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 7 INCOME TAX (cont’d)
Potential future income tax benefits attributable to tax losses of $8,778,938 (2010: $7,074,802) carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2011 because Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the future tax benefit as probable. These benefits will only be obtained if:
-
(i) the Consolidated Entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the losses and deductions to be released;
-
(ii) the Consolidated Entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and
-
(iii) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Consolidated Entity in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.
Tax losses carried forward have no expiry date. Tax consolidation for the Group has not been adopted.

The above weighted average number of shares incorporates an adjustment to the calculation to incorporate the effects of bonus elements in relation to rights issues in the current and previous financial year.

NOTE 19 SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
A. Directors and Employees
(i) Employee Share Incentive Scheme
An Employee Share Scheme (ESS) has been established where Rox Resources Limited may, at the discretion of Directors, grant options over the ordinary shares of Rox Resources Limited to Directors, executives and employees of the Company. The plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for employees and to deliver long term shareholder returns. Participation in the plan is at the Board‟s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive guaranteed benefits. In addition, under the Plan, the Board determines the terms of the options including exercise price, expiry date and vesting conditions, if any.
Options granted under the plan are unlisted and carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercised, each option is convertible into an ordinary share of the Company with full dividend and voting rights.
As at the end of the financial period and the date of this report there were no options issued under the ESS.

In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .

Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.
