Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
RTG Mining Inc ("the Company", "RTG", or "the Entity") was incorporated on 27 December 2012, and is domiciled in the British Virgin Islands. The Company's registered address is Midocean Chambers, Road Town, Tortola, VG1110 British Virgin Islands. Its shares are publicly traded on both the Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX") and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX").
The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the half year to 30 June 2014 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group" and individually as "the Group entities"). The half year consolidated financial statements to 30 June 2014 were recognised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 13 August 2014.
The Group's activities during the half year period focussed on the implementation of the schemes of arrangement (the "Schemes") pursuant to the terms of the previously-announced Scheme Implementation Deed dated February 24, 2014 (the "Deed") between RTG and Sierra Mining Limited ("Sierra") to acquire all of the outstanding securities of Sierra. The transaction was completed on 4 June 2014.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in United States Dollars (US$), unless otherwise noted.
For the purpose of preparing the interim report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as a general purpose financial report. The consolidated financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
This condensed half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full and understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in the full financial report.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the period ended 31 December 2013 and any public announcements made by RTG during the half year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the ASX and TSX listing rules.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
RTG changed its financial year end from 30 June to 31 December during the December 2013 period therefore the prior period comparatives are those of the 6 month year end 31 December 2013 financial statements.
Impact of accounting standards not yet adopted
AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2018 but is available for early adoption. The Company has not yet assessed its impact, and not decided whether to adopt any parts of AASB 9 early.
(b) Asset Acquisition
RTG acquired all of the outstanding shares of Sierra ("Sierra Shares") and all of the outstanding listed options of Sierra ("Sierra Options"), and issued as consideration:
to eligible shareholders of Sierra, 3 new ordinary shares of RTG ("RTG Shares") for every 10 Sierra Shares held and 1 new share purchase option of the Company ("RTG Option") for every 30 Sierra Shares held; and
to eligible optionholders of Sierra, 2 RTG Shares for every 10 Sierra Options held and 2 RTG Options for every 90 Sierra Options held.
The Company also acquired all unlisted Sierra Options ("Sierra Unlisted Options"), and issued as consideration to such holders of Sierra Unlisted Options:
1 RTG Share for every 10 Sierra Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.20 each on or before July 1, 2014, together with 1 RTG Option for every 90 Sierra Unlisted Options held; and
1 RTG Share for every 20 Sierra Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.25 each on or before July 1, 2015, together with 1 RTG Option for every 180 Sierra Unlisted Options held.
On 4 June 2014 RTG completed the above through the issuance of 79,063,206 ordinary RTG shares and 8,784,854 RTG listed options.
Pursuant to the Schemes, RTG has acquired a direct 40% interest in each of Mt Labo Exploration & Development Corporation, St Ignatius Exploration and Mineral Resources Corporation, Bunawan Mining Corporation and Oz Metals Exploration and Development Corporation and a further indirect 24% interest in Mt Labo Exploration and Development Corporation. As the acquisition of Sierra is not deemed a business acquisition, the transaction must be accounted for as a share based payment for the net assets acquired.
When an asset acquisition does not constitute a business combination, the assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction and no deferred tax will arise in relation to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the initial recognition exemption for deferred tax under AASB112 applies. No goodwill will arise on the acquisitions and transaction costs of the acquisitions will be included in the capitalised costs of the asset.

Receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-90 day terms. Other than the joint venture partner receivable, there are no receivables past due or impaired and it is expected that these receivables will be received when due.
The previous joint venture partner receivable due on the joint venture partner's 49% share of the development costs funded by the Company at the Mkushi Copper Project has been fully provided for the Company as at 31 December 2013. During the prior period, the Company has completed the sale of its interest in the Mkushi Copper Project. Under the sale agreement, the purchaser, Elephant Copper Ltd. agreed to repay the full receivable to RTG by 1 January 2014. RTG did not receive the payment on that date hence the amount has been fully provided for at 31 December 2013. RTG issued a demand letter on 8 January 2014 demanding payment of the outstanding debt. RTG has advised Elephant Copper that it fully reserves all of its rights and remedies under the sale agreement.

8. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE
On 4 June 2014, RTG completed the implementation of the schemes of arrangement (the "Schemes") pursuant to the terms of the previously-announced Scheme Implementation Deed dated February 24, 2014 (the "Deed") between RTG and Sierra Mining Limited ("Sierra") to acquire all of the outstanding securities of Sierra.
Pursuant to the Schemes, RTG has acquired a direct 40% interest in each of Mt Labo Exploration & Development Corporation, St Ignatius Exploration and Mineral Resources Corporation, Bunawan Mining Corporation and Oz Metals Exploration and Development Corporation and a further indirect 24% interest in Mt Labo Exploration and Development Corporation. As the acquisition of Sierra is not deemed a business acquisition, the transaction must be accounted for as a share based payment for the net assets acquired.
The consideration payable was 79,063,206 ordinary RTG shares and 8,784,854 RTG listed options. Details of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired as at 4 June 2014 are as follows:

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Group measures the following assets at fair value on a recurring basis: Available for sale financial assets Derivative financial assets
Fair value hierarchy
IFRS 13 requires disclosures of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy.
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobserved inputs).
Recognised fair value measurements
The following table presents the Group's assets measured at fair value at 30 June 2014.
At 30 June 2014

Disclosed fair values
Valuation techniques used to derive level 2 and level 3 fair values
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all the specific inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is classified as level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on market observable data, the instrument is classified as level 3. The Entity holds an investment and convertible note receivable from Elephant Copper Limited, an unlisted entity. The investment in Elephant Copper Limited was valued on RTGs 18% interest in Elephant Copper Limited's net asset carrying value, which is considered to Elephant Copper Limited's fair value of $10M, based on audited information and an independent valuation. The convertible note valuation was based on the investment interest RTG is entitled to receive in Elephant Copper Limited's net asset
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
carrying value, should RTG elect to receive the convertible note receivable in the form of shares. Hence these items have been classified as Level 3 as there is no active market to be able to observe the fair market value of the shares to determine the fair values used for the financial instruments.
The following table presents the changes in level 3 items for the period ended 30 June 2014.

Fair value of other financial instruments not measured at fair value
The carrying amounts of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature. The loans to associates are currently not carried at fair value, however any potential differences between the carrying value and fair value would be considered immaterial.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of RTG Mining Inc.
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of RTG Mining Inc, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statem ent of accounting policies and other explanatory inform ation, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year's end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2014 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of RTG Mining Inc, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of RTG Mining Inc, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of RTG Mining Inc is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001
