CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW

Dear Shareholder,

Following a period of consolidation, project acquisition and development in 2010/11, this year saw significant advancements made in exploring your company’s three major projects. The three projects, Mt Fisher (gold and nickel), Myrtle/Reward (zinc and lead) and Marqua (phosphate) each have the potential to evolve into a company-making mining development.

At Mt Fisher where Rox is exploring a highly prospective greenstone terrain, extensive drilling programs led to the delineation of JORC compliant Mineral Resource totalling 973,000 tonnes at 2.75 g/t gold for 86,080 ounces in three separate deposits. In addition to the extensive drill programs, detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys were flown over much of the project area. These surveys, combined with an airborne VTEM survey and detailed structural analysis has generated a number of drill targets some of which were tested with RC drilling. Given the extensive indications of gold mineralisation in the Mt Fisher area, the shallow nature and ineffectiveness of much of the previous drilling, much more work is required to fully explore this area. The project area has the potential to host a major gold deposit.

Following the successful establishment of an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Teck Australia Pty Ltd (“Teck”) in late 2010 over the company’s Myrtle/Reward project near the world class McArthur River zinc-lead mine, considerable work has been carried out by Teck in advancing this project. Extensive geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys were conducted and a diamond drilling program was conducted at Myrtle. This program confirmed the large extent of the mineralised system at Myrtle and returned thick moderate-low grade intercepts. The discovery of previously unreported high grade drill intercepts at the Teena prospect indicates the presence of a second significant zinc-lead deposit within the Myrtle/Reward project area. Follow up drilling of this prospect is likely to occur in the 2013 field season.

Drilling at the Marqua phosphate project recorded a number of high grade (greater than 20% P2O5) intercepts. These grades indicate the potential for the occurrence of direct shippable material at Marqua but extensive further drilling would be required to define resources.

In summary considerable progress was made during the year in advancing your company’s three projects and I would like to thank our Managing Director Ian Mulholland and his staff for their efforts during the year.

PROJECTS

INTRODUCTION

During the year the company made significant progress on its three projects that cover a range of commodities; zinc-lead, gold-nickel and phosphate. Each project has the potential to develop into a company making outcome.

==> picture [450 x 385] intentionally omitted <==

MT FISHER

At Mt Fisher in Western Australia (Figure 1), Rox is exploring a highly prospective area of 655 km[2] , well endowed with gold, and with strong potential for nickel. The area is 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. The company’s tenure includes 485 km[2] of wholly owned tenements (acquired in 2011), and 170 km[2] of tenements over which Rox has two years remaining on its option to purchase.

PROJECTS

During the year the company flew an extensive detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, and also flew an airborne VTEM survey. The results of these surveys produced a number of targets, some of which were tested with RC drilling.

That RC drilling also enabled the company to estimate JORC compliant Mineral Resources on the project as shown in Table 1.

Reported to the ASX on 10 February 2012.

** This resource is located on a tenement over which Rox holds an Option to Purchase for $3.5 million, expiring 30 June 2014.

The drilling was successful in delineating a small high grade resource at the Moray Reef (Figure 3) to about 100 metres depth. The high grade nature of this deposit may allow early exploitation by the company, since it is situated on a granted Mining Lease and could be fast tracked if shown to be economic to extract. The company is exploring options in this regard.

The drilling also extended the known resource beneath the Mt Fisher open pit to approximately 200 metres depth (Figure 4). Significantly the gold mineralisation appears to be plunging to the south within a sulphidic chert unit that has been detected by the VTEM survey. Hole MFRC033 drilled by Rox

PROJECTS

intersected 5 metres grading 1.6 g/t gold which demonstrated that the mineralised system is open at depth below the reach of RC drilling. This deposit is currently held under an Option to Purchase by the company. The next steps will involve down hole EM surveying possibly followed by deeper diamond drilling.

At Damsel, RC drilling by Rox has confirmed a Mineral Resource of approximately 55,000 ounces (Table 1), which is open along strike to the north and south and is only limited by the extent of drilling.

Metallurgical testwork on the gold mineralisation at Moray Reef, Damsel and Mt Fisher mine was also undertaken. Moray Reef and Damsel gave excellent recoveries with cyanide extraction recoveries exceeding 95%. Gold recovery from the sulphidic Mt Fisher mineralisation was lower at around 75%, a figure compatible with recoveries achieved during the mining of this deposit. Recoveries on the Mt Fisher tailings were < 40% indicating treatment of this material is not economic at this time.

Three parallel structures in the Dam-Dirks prospect area define a 5-7km long gold-in-regolith anomaly (Figure 5) which is largely untested at depth. There are numerous high grade drill results that have not had sufficiently closed spaced drilling to confirm continuity of mineralisation.

For example, at Dam Central, Rox has achieved drill results such as 4m @ 5.53 g/tAu from 106m, and 2m @ 4.83 g/tAu from 149m. Previous company drilling returned 4m @ 3.48 g/tAu from 212m, and 4m @ 4.74 g/tAu from 226m in an adjacent hole. The Dam Central area remains a high priority area for discovery of a Bronzewing type gold deposit (a 3.6 million ounce gold deposit in the adjacent Yandal Greenstone Belt) with an elongated vertical extent (i.e. requiring deep drilling) rather than a lateral extent.

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 and aircore 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 between 50-100m deep, and only 4% exceed 100m in depth. The main body of gold mineralisation at the Bronzewing deposit, for example, does not start until 150 metres below surface.

In addition only 30% of the drilled RAB holes were angled. Industry experience shows that vertical RAB drilling has limited effectiveness. Rox therefore believes that this drilling has not been a definitive test of the gold potential over the tenement area, where the regolith profile can reach over 100m in depth.

The company plans to continue to explore and expand the resource base at Mt Fisher with the aim of defining enough Mineral Resources to support a stand-alone plant at the project. Rox believes that the potential for in excess of one million ounces exists within its Mt Fisher tenements.

PROJECTS

MYRTLE / REWARD

In late 2010 Rox signed an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Teck Australia Pty Ltd (“Teck”) to explore the company’s Myrtle/Reward tenements which cover 669 km[2] adjacent to the world class McArthur River zinc-lead deposit in the Northern Territory (Figure 6). The terms of the agreement require Teck to spend $5 million by 31 August 2014 to earn an initial 51% interest. Teck can increase its interest in the project to 70% by spending an additional $10 million ($15 million in total) by 31 August 2018.

A SEDEX style deposit is present at the Myrtle prospect, where an Inferred Mineral Resource of 43.6 million tonnes grading 4.09% zinc and 0.95% lead (5.04% zinc + lead) has been estimated by Rox to JORC Code standards. A higher grade core of 15.3 million tonnes grading 5.45% zinc and 1.40% lead (6.85% zinc + lead) is present, and a large mineralised system is indicated (Table 2).

Teck commenced exploration during the 2011 field season and completed a ground gravity survey, surface geochemistry and geological mapping, Induced Polarisation (IP) surveys and ground electromagnetics (EM). Based on these results, Teck commenced diamond drilling at the Myrtle deposit in late 2011. Unfortunately an early wet season led to access difficulties and the drilling had to be postponed until site access could be attained in June 2012.

During the wet season Teck took advantage of contractor availability to commission an airborne gravity survey over a large part of the tenement package which greatly assisted in further defining targets. Diamond drilling re-commenced in June 2012 and assay results recently received from Teck confirmed the large extent of the mineralised system at Myrtle with thick low-moderate grade intercepts made around the margins of the North Myrtle Basin (Figure 7).

The best intercepts from Teck’s drilling were:

==> picture [10 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

7m @ 2.52% Zn+Pb from 290m in hole MY26
10m @ 1.77% Zn+Pb from 299m in hole MY26, and
22m @ 1.26% Zn+Pb from 160m in hole MY25.

Higher grade zones were:

==> picture [10 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

3m @ 3.46% Zn+Pb from 161m in hole MY25, including 1m @ 5.53% Zn+Pb from 163m, and 4m @ 2.70% Zn+Pb from 219m in hole MY22

Higher grades are expected closer to the centre of the basin, but these positions were not tested in the program.

Several other prospects in the tenement area have been assessed to have similar potential to Myrtle but are at an early stage of exploration. During compilation of historic data from open file reports, Teck uncovered drill results that had previously not been reported. These drill results indicate that a second significant zinc-lead deposit is situated at the Teena prospect, located about 10km due west of the McArthur River mine (Figure 8).

PROJECTS

The data uncovered by Teck included the following drill intercepts that indicate that a potentially larger and higher grade deposit exists at Teena than at Myrtle.

==> picture [10 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

11.3 metres grading 10.9% Zn + Pb, 14 g/t Ag from 908.8 metres
8.6 metres grading 9.84% Zn + Pb, 23 g/t Ag from 789.6 metres
3.8 metres grading 7.98% Zn + Pb, 4 g/t Ag from 629.2 metres
13.1 metres grading 6.02% Zn + Pb, 5 g/t Ag from 599.2 metres

Teck plan to commence drilling at Teena once internal budget approvals and heritage clearance is obtained. Given the preparatory work still required (i.e. re-logging of core, surface mapping and geochemistry, and possible geophysics), this drilling is most likely to occur during the 2013 field season.

MARQUA

Rox owns 100% of the 1,900 km[2] Marqua project tenements in the Northern Territory located 300km south-west of Mt Isa (Figure 10), where there is potential for a series of phosphate deposits. A 30 km long strike length of phosphate bearing rocks has been identified by surface sampling (up to 39.4% P2O5) and drilling by Rox and previous explorers.

RC drilling by Rox during 2011 (Figures 11 and 12) returned a number of high grade intersections indicating the presence of high grade material that could potentially be mined and direct shipped. The deposits are only drilled at wide spacing, and more drilling is required to prove up the resources.

The better drill results were:

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

4m @ 26.3% P2O5 from 45 metres in hole MQRC026
7m @ 20.2% P2O5 from 12 metres in hole MQRC021 5m @ 20.7% P2O5 from 25 metres in hole MQRC022 1m @ 21.8% P2O5 from 15 metres in hole MQRC003

The Marqua phosphate deposits are located on the southern margin of the Georgina Basin (Figure 13) where other phosphate deposits 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.

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.

This Remuneration Report outlines the Director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Company and the Group in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group 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 executives, of which there are two, in the Parent and the Group that fits within the above mentioned definition.

For the purposes of this report, the term ‘executive’ encompasses the Managing Director and Company Secretary of the Parent and the Group.

Details of Key Management Personnel

(i) Directors Jeffrey Gresham Non-executive Chairman ( appointed 1 October 2006) Ian Mulholland Managing Director ( appointed 27 November 2003) Brett Dickson Executive Director and Company Secretary (appointed director 31 March 2010)

There were no changes of KMP after reporting date and before the date the financial report was authorised for issue.

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 <==

Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives
Establish appropriate hurdles for variable executive remuneration
Encouragement for Directors to sacrifice a portion of their fees to acquire shares in the Company at market price

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 2012 and 30 June 2011 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 <==

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 <==

Fixed Remuneration
Variable Remuneration – short term incentive (“STI”), and
long term incentive (“LTI”)

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, are met. 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 2011 and 2012 financial years

For the calendar 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;
Continue to build project portfolio, including acquisition of a new principal project for the company;

DIRECTORS REPORT

Demonstrate leadership skills; and
Continue share price appreciation and market capitalisation, outperforming the peer group share price index by 20%..

For the calendar year ended 31 December 2012 the following key performance indicators were agreed for senior management, with the relative weighting of each shown in brackets.

Maintain significant (>$1M p.a.) third party funding for exploration at Myrtle. (10%)
Secure funding for continued progression of Marqua phosphate project, either through JV or other corporate activity. (10%)
Demonstrate potential for >500,000 ounce gold endowment at Mt Fisher project. (25%)
Continue to expand the Company’s project portfolio either by securing new project/s and/or additional areas at Mt Fisher. (5%)
Secure sufficient funding for ongoing company exploration programs. (20%)
Continued share price appreciation and market capitalisation, outperforming the peer group share price index” by 20%.

The minimum amount payable for 2012 assuming executives fail to meet their KPI’s is nil and the maximum amount payable if all KPI’s are met is $75,000. 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 other than time based service conditions. 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 2015, 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:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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.

The following governance-related documents can be found on the Company's website at www.roxresources.com.au, under the section marked "Corporate Governance":

Set out below is a report on how the Company has followed (or otherwise departed from) each of the recommendations during the financial year end 30 June 2012 ( Reporting Period ). The information in this statement is current at 13 September 2012.

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 disclosed on the Company’s website.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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.

The mix of skills and diversity for which the Board is looking to achieve in membership of the Board is represented by the Board’s current composition. While the Company is at exploration stage, it does not wish to increase the size of the Board, and considers that the Board, which includes directors with geological qualifications, exploration and mining industry experience and accounting and finance qualifications, is an appropriate mix of skills and expertise relevant to the Company.

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 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 the following guidelines, as set out in the Company's Board Charter for assessing the materiality of matters:

==> 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 sole independent director of the Company is Jeff Gresham. Mr Gresham is independent as he is a nonexecutive 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 non-independent directors of the Company are Ian Mulholland (Managing Director) and Brett Dickson (Finance Director).

The independent Chair of the Board is Jeff Gresham.

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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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, expertise and diversity of the existing Board. In particular, the Nomination Committee (or equivalent) is to identify the particular skills and diversity 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 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 disclosed 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.

The Board has adopted a Nomination Committee Charter which describes the role, composition, functions and responsibilities of the Nomination Committee. The Company’s Nomination Committee Charter is disclosed 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 consists of a majority of non-independent executive directors, and Mr Gresham, the sole independent non-executive director and 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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The full Board, in its capacity as the Audit Committee, held two meetings during the Reporting Period which all Board members attended.

To assist the Board to fulfil its function as the Audit Committee, the Company 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 a Procedure 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 reviewed on an annual basis by the Audit Committee (or its equivalent) and any recommendations are made to the Board.

The Company’s Audit Committee Charter and Procedure for Selection, Appointment and Rotation of External Auditor are disclosed on the Company’s website.

Remuneration Committee

(Recommendations: 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4)

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 which all Board members attended.

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

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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 disclosed 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 the Managing Director and other 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.

The Company’s Process for Performance Evaluation is disclosed on the Company’s website.

Ethical and responsible decision making

Code of Conduct (Recommendations: 3.1, 3.5)

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 disclosed on the Company’s website.

Diversity

(Recommendations: 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5)

The Company has established a Diversity Policy, which includes requirements for the Board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and for the Board to assess annually both the objectives and progress towards achieving them.

The Board has not set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity. Given the Company’s stage of development as an exploration company, and the number of employees, the Board considers that it is not practical to set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity at this time.

The proportion of women employees in the whole organisation, women in senior executive positions and women on the Board are set out in the following table:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

	Proportion of women
Whole organisation	1out of3 (33%)
Seniorexecutive positions	0 out of 2(0%)
Board	0 out of3 (0%)

The Company’s Diversity Policy is disclosed 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.

A summary of the Company’s Policy on Continuous Disclosure and Compliance Procedures are disclosed on the Company’s website.

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.

The Company’s Shareholder Communication Policy is disclosed 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 process 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 risk 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 14] 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 disclosed on the Company’s website.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Rox Resources Limited and its controlled entities (‘the Consolidated Entity’) for the year ended 30 June 2012 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 13 September 2012.

Rox Resources Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian stock exchange. The Consolidated Entity is a for-profit entity.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Consolidated Entity are described in the Directors Report.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general-purposed financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available for sale investments and assets held for sale which are measured at fair value. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

As a result of the uncertainties inherent in business and other activities, certain items in a financial report cannot be measured with precision but can only be estimated. The estimation process involves best estimates based on the latest information available.

Going Concern

This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Consolidated Entity has incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2012 of $3,359,215 (2011: $1,520,032) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $2,954,282 (2011: $1,386,113). At 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Entity had net current assets of $1,185,647 (30 June 2011: net current assets of $4,177,446).

The Directors believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Consolidated Entity’s working capital requirements and as at the date of this report the directors believe they can meet all liabilities as and when they fall due. However the Directors recognise that additional funding either through the issue of further shares, convertible notes or a combination of both may be required for the Consolidated Entity to continue to actively explore its mineral properties.

The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Consolidated Entity and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.

However, if the Consolidated Entity is unable to achieve the above, there is significant uncertainty whether the Consolidated Entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts, nor the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Consolidated Entity not be able to continue as a going concern.

(a) Compliance statement

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards board.

(b) New accounting standards and interpretations

The Consolidated entity has adopted all new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB interpretations from 1 July 2011 mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011. The adoption of these new and amended Standards and Interpretations, set out below, did not have any effect on the financial position and performance of the Consolidated entity.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement	AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. 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.

It also revised the method of calculating the return on plan assets. The revised standard changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. The distinction between short-term and other long-term employee benefits is now based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting date.

In addition it 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.

(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.

Non-controlling 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 14] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] 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.

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 differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

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 initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs and carried at amortised cost less a provision for impairment. An impairment provision is recognised 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:

llows:
	2012	2011
Computers	3 years	3 years
Office Equipment	3-4 years	3-4 years
Field Equipment	10 years	10 years

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(xiv) Impairment of non-financial 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.

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.

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:

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

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 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.

Other financial assets

At financial year end, there is a risk from the Northern Territory Department of Resources not refunding the security deposit.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES (cont’d)

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of the Consolidated Entity’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Consolidated Entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Note Cash and cash equivalents 10 Available for sale investments 11 Total	Carrying amount 2012 2011 1,309,547 4,361,129 56,250 33,750
	1,365,797 4,394,879

None of the Consolidated Entity’s trade and other receivables are past due (2011: nil). At 30 June 2012 the Consolidated Entity does not have any collective impairments on its other receivables (2011: 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. There were no financial guarantees at the end of the prior financial year.

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 following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements:

Consolidated

	Carrying	6 mths
	amount	or less
30 June 2012
Trade and other	89,394	89,394
payables
30 June 2011
Trade and other	142,931	142,931
payables
There are no outstanding guarantees		at year-end.

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 (2011: 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	2012	2011
Available for sale	investments		11	56,250	33,750
*Sensitivity analysis*
		Effect	on:		Effect	on:

Share Price Sensitivity	-5%	(2,812)	(1,687)		(2,812)	(1,687)

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
	2012	2011
Variable rate instruments
Financial assets	1,309,547	4,361,129

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES (cont’d)

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 1% in variable interest rates would have increased or decreased the Consolidated Entity’s equity and profit by $13,095 (2011: $43,611), and would have had the same effect on cash flow. The difference between 2012 and 2011 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
	2012	2011
Equity	2,343,348	4,679,868

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 2012	30 June 2012			30 June 2011	30 June 2011

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 Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Share options

The Consolidated Entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the binominal formula. For options issued in this financial year, the assumptions detailed as per Note 18 were used.

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.

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 yearend are located in a foreign country.

Potential future income tax benefits attributable to gross tax losses of $11,678,784 (2011: $8,778,938) carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2012 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.

NOTE 7 LOSS PER SHARE The following reflects the income and share data used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share Net loss Adjustments: - Nil - Earnings used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in calculating basic earnings per share Effect of dilutive securities: - Share options (i) Adjusted weighted average number of ordinary shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share	Consolidated 2012 $ (3,359,215) - (3,359,215) 394,395,927 - 394,395,927	Consolidated 2011 $ (1,520,032) -

(i) Share options are not dilutive as their exercise would have the impact of decreasing loss per share.

There were a total of 4,300,000 share options that were potentially dilutive to shares on issue at 30 June 2012 (2011: 29,837,811).

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.

Conversion, calls, subscriptions or issues after 30 June 2012

There have been no conversions to, calls of, or subscriptions for ordinary shares since the reporting date and before the completion of this financial report.

NOTE 18 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.

During the year 550,000 options with an exercise price of $0.047 and expiry of 30 November 2014 were issued (2011: Nil) and remain outstanding at year end.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Rox Resources Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Rox Resources Limited which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 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 .

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 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.

RC:DR:ROX:036

Opinion

In our opinion:

a. the financial report of Rox Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
i giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2012 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
ii complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2.

Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the basis of preparation paragraph in Note 2 to the financial report. As a result of these matters there is significant uncertainty whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern, and therefore whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.

Report on the remuneration report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2012. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Rox Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2012, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
