CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Company is committed to implementing the highest standards of corporate governance. In determining what those high standards should involve the Company has turned to the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Principles and Recommendations.
The Company is pleased to advise that the Company's practices are largely consistent with those ASX guidelines. As consistency with the guidelines has been a gradual process, where the Company did not have certain policies or committees recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (the Council) in place during the reporting period, we have identified such policies or committees.
Where the Company's corporate governance practices do not correlate with the practices recommended by the Council, the Company is working towards compliance however it does not consider that all the practices are appropriate for the Company due to the size and scale of Company operations.
To illustrate where the Company has addressed each of the Council's recommendations, the following table cross-references each recommendation with sections of this report. The table does not provide the full text of each recommendation but rather the topic covered. Details of all of the recommendations can be found on the ASX Corporate Governance Council's website at asxgroup.com.au/corporate-governance-council.htm.

1. Board of Directors
1.1 Role of the Board
The Board's role is to govern the Company rather than to manage it. In governing the Company, the Directors must act in the best interests of the Company as a whole. It is the role of senior management to manage the Company in accordance with the direction and delegations of the Board and the responsibility of the Board to oversee the activities of management in carrying out these delegated duties.
In carrying out its governance role, the main task of the Board is to drive the performance of the Company. The Board must also ensure that the Company complies with all of its contractual, statutory and any other legal obligations, including the requirements of any regulatory body. The Board has the final responsibility for the successful operations of the Company.
To assist the Board to carry out its functions, it has developed a Code of Conduct to guide the Directors, the Chairman and other key executives in the performance of their roles.
1.2.1 Composition of the Board
To add value to the Company the Board has been formed so that it has effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties given its current size and scale of operations. The names of the Directors and their qualifications and experience are stated in the Directors' Report along with the term of office held by each of the Directors. Directors are appointed based on the specific skills required by the Company and on their decision-making and judgment skills.
The Company recognises the importance of Non-Executive Directors and the external perspective and advice that Non-Executive Directors can offer. Mr Matthew Banks and Mr Michael Smith are Non-Executive Directors and independent directors as they meet the following criteria for independence adopted by the Company. The Board recognises that the following criteria is not exhaustive in determining the independence of directors.
An Independent Director is a Non-Executive Director and:
- is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;
- has not been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another Company member since incorporation;
- within the last three periods has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company or another Company member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;
- is not a material supplier or customer of the Company or another Company member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
- has no material contractual relationship with the Company or other Company member other than as a Director of the Company.
- their role is to advise the Company on matters pertaining to their expertise and provide governance in the best interests of the Company. Independent Directors do not participate in day to day operations or management of the Company and its affairs.
- are remunerated based on a set scale relating to the risks undertaken within their roles as Non-Executive Directors. Additional work engagements may be undertaken by independent Directors at commercial rates, however the Company and the Independent Directors must ensure that materiality thresholds are not breached.
Mr Terence Topping is Executive Director and Mr Andrew McBain is a Non-Executive Director, previously the Managing Director of the Company, and therefore do not meet the Company's criteria for independence. However, their experience and knowledge of the Company makes their contribution to the Board such that it is appropriate for them to remain on the Board.
1.2.2 Role of the Chairman and CEO
Recommendation 2.3 has been complied with as the Company's CEO in place and appointed management is separate from the Chairman's position.
1.3 Responsibilities of the Board
In general, the Board is responsible for, and has the authority to determine, all matters relating to the policies, practices, management and operations of the Company. It is required to do all things that may be necessary to be done in order to carry out the objectives of the Company.
Without intending to limit this general role of the Board, the principal functions and responsibilities of the Board include the following.
- Leadership of the Organisation: overseeing the Company and establishing codes that reflect the values of the Company and guide the conduct of the Board.
- Strategy Formulation: to set and review the overall strategy and goals for the Company and ensuring that there are policies in place to govern the operation of the Company.
- Overseeing Planning Activities: the development of the Company's strategic plan.
- Shareholder Liaison: ensuring effective communications with shareholders through an appropriate communications policy and promoting participation at general meetings of the Company.
- Monitoring, Compliance and Risk Management: the development of the Company's risk management, compliance, control and accountability systems and monitoring and directing the financial and operational performance of the Company.
- Company Finances: approving expenses and approving and monitoring acquisitions, divestitures and financial and other reporting.
- Ensuring the Health, Safety and Well-Being of Employees: in conjunction with the senior management team, developing, overseeing and reviewing the effectiveness of the Company's occupational health and safety systems to ensure the well-being of all employees.
- Delegation of Authority: delegating appropriate powers to the CEO to ensure the effective day-to-day management of the Company and establishing and determining the powers and functions of the Committees of the Board.
Full details of the Board's role and responsibilities are contained in the Board Charter, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company's registered office.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
2. Board Committees
2.1 Audit Committee
Due to the size and scale of operations of the Company the full Board undertakes the role of the Audit Committee. In the absence of a formal audit committee the board considers the issues that would otherwise be considered by the audit committee. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on the Company's website.
Below is a summary of the role and responsibilities of an Audit Committee.
2.1.1 Role
The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the integrity of the Company's financial reporting and overseeing the independence of the external auditors.
As the whole Board only consists of four (4) members, the Company does not have an audit committee because it would not be a more efficient mechanism than the full Board for focusing the Company on specific issues and an audit committee cannot be justified based on a cost-benefit analysis. In the absence of an audit committee, the Board sets aside time to deal with issues and responsibilities usually delegated to the audit committee to ensure the integrity of the financial statements of the Company and the independence of the external auditor.
2.1.2 Audit Committee Charter
The Board has adopted an Audit Committee Charter which sets of the roles and responsibilities, composition, structure and membership requirements. The Board refers to the Audit Committee Charter to ensure they are meeting all the requirements otherwise delegated to an audit committee.

2.1.3 Responsibilities
The Audit Committee or as at the date of this report the full Board of the Company reviews the audited annual and half-yearly financial statements and any reports which includes Company published financial statements and recommends their approval to the members.
The Audit Committee or as at the date of this report the full Board of the Company each year reviews the appointment of the external auditor, their independence, the audit fee, and any questions of resignation or dismissal.
The Audit Committee or as at the date of this report the full Board of the Company is also responsible for establishing policies on risk oversight and management.
2.1.4 Risk Management Policies
The Board's Charter clearly establishes that it is responsible for ensuring there is a good sound system for overseeing and managing risk. Due to the size and scale of operations, risk management issues are considered by the Board as a whole. On completion of the 30 June annual audit, the Chairman and Company Secretary will provide the Board with written assurance that the financial statements are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance. Their statement assures the Board that the risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.
2.1.5 External Auditor
The Board has adopted a policy setting out criteria for the selection and appointment of an external auditor. A copy of this policy is available on the Company's website.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
2.2 Remuneration Committee
2.2.1 Role
The role of a Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in respect of establishing appropriate remuneration levels and incentive policies for employees.
As the whole Board only consists of four (4) members, the Company does not have a remuneration committee because it would not be a more efficient mechanism than the full Board for focusing the Company on specific issues.
2.2.2 Responsibilities
The responsibilities of a Remuneration Committee, or the full Board include setting policies for senior officers' remuneration, setting the terms and conditions of employment for the executive officer, reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on the Company's incentive schemes and superannuation arrangements, reviewing the remuneration of both Executive and Non-Executive Directors and making recommendations on any proposed changes and undertaking reviews of the Chief Executive Officer's performance, including, setting with the Chief Executive Officer goals and reviewing progress in achieving those goals.
2.2.3 Remuneration Policy
Current directors' Remuneration was approved by resolution of the Board on 18 June 2013.
2.2.3.1 Senior Executive Remuneration Policy
The Company is committed to remunerating its senior executives in a manner that is market-competitive and consistent with best practice as well as supporting the interests of shareholders. Consequently, under the Senior Executive Remuneration Policy the remuneration of senior executive may be comprised of the following:
- fixed salary that is determined from a review of the market and reflects core performance requirements and expectations;
- long term incentives in the form of shares or options in the company;
- participation in any share/option scheme with thresholds approved by shareholders;
- statutory superannuation.
By remunerating senior executives through performance and long-term incentive plans in addition to their fixed remuneration the Company aims to align the interests of senior executives with those of shareholders and increase Company performance.
Where value of shares and options are granted to senior executives the value will be calculated using the Black and Scholes method.
The objective behind using this remuneration structure is to drive improved Company performance and thereby increase shareholder value as well as aligning the interests of executives and shareholders.
The Board may use its discretion with respect to the payment of bonuses, stock options and other incentive payments (with necessary shareholder approvals).
2.2.3.2 Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy
Non-Executive Directors are to be paid their fees out of the maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders for the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors.

2.3.1 Role
The role of a Nomination Committee is to help achieve a structured Board that adds value to the Company by ensuring an appropriate mix of skills are present in Directors on the Board at all times.
As the whole Board only consists of four (4) members, the Company does not have a nomination committee because it would not be a more efficient mechanism than the full Board for focusing the Company on specific issues.
2.3.2 Responsibilities
The responsibilities of a Nomination Committee, as performed by the full Board, include devising criteria for Board membership, regularly reviewing the need for various skills and experience on the Board and identifying specific individuals for nomination as Directors for review by the Board. The Nomination Committee also oversees management succession plans including the Executive Director and his/her direct reports and evaluate the Board's performance and make recommendations for the appointment and removal of Directors. Currently the Board as a whole performs this role.
2.3.3 Criteria for selection of Directors
Directors are appointed based on the specific governance skills required by the Company. Given the size of the Company and the business that it operates, the Company aims at all times to have at least one Director with experience appropriate to the Company's target market. In addition, Directors should have the relevant blend of personal experience in accounting and financial management and Director-level business experience.
3. Risk Management
3.1 Risk Management Policies
The Company's risk management strategy policy states that the Board as a whole is responsible for the oversight of the Company's risk management and control framework. The objectives of the Company's risk management strategy are to:
- identify risks to the Company,
- balance risk to reward,
- ensure regulatory compliance is achieved; and
- ensure senior management, the Board and investors understand the risk profile of the Company.
The Board monitors risk through various arrangements including:
- regular board meetings;
- share price monitoring;

- regular review of financial position and operations.
The Company has developed a Risk Register in order to assist with the risk management of the Company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
- Diversity
The Company recognises and respects the value of diversity at all levels of the organisation.

to the Board - nil to senior management – nil to the organisation – 14%
The Company's objective is to promote a culture which embraces diversity through ongoing education, succession planning, director and employee selection and recognising skills are not gender specific.
The Board continues to monitor diversity across the organisation and is satisfied with the current level of gender diversity within the Company as disclosed above. Due to the size of the company and its small number of employees, the Board does not consider it appropriate at this time, to formally set measurable objectives for gender diversity.

Under the terms of the Agreement between Canyon and Rumble, Rumble will earn between a 51% to 75% interest in Canyon Derosa upon the completion of certain payment and expenditure obligations which include issue to Canyon or its nominee of 1,500,000 Rumble shares and payment of USD$50,000, Rumble to comply with the terms of the purchase agreements with the vendors, Rumble to spend USD$1.5 million on the Derosa Project by 31 September 2014 to earn a 51% interest in Canyon Derosa and Rumble to acquire a further 24% interest in Canyon Derosa by spending a further USD$1.5 million on the Derosa Project by 31 March 2017.
The project consists of six granted exploration permits which cover areas of greenstone and granite considered prospective for gold mineralisation. Interpretation of airborne magnetics data indicates the presence of large-scale north-south and northeast-southwest trending fault structures which have not been explored previously. Historic and active artisanal gold mining areas have been identified within the Derosa Project including the Bompela Gold Discovery identified by Rumble in May 2012.
The majority of exploration undertaken at the Derosa Project was focussed on the exciting Bompela Gold Discovery. Work completed included:
- Detailed litho-structural and regolith mapping of the east, west, north and south areas of the Bompela artisanal site over a target area of 16 km²;
- Rock chip sampling of outcrops (quartz veins, host rock, alteration/deformation zones) and laterite ridges;
- Soil sampling in the Bompela area;
- A ground magnetic survey of the area immediate to the artisanal workings; and
- Planning of an Aircore and RC drilling campaign to target the Bompela artisanal site and surrounding priority targets.
Field mapping showed that the area around Bompela is widely covered by alluvium and laterite ridges and plateaus. Alluvium covers large parts of the area of interest which hide the structures undercover. The artisanal miners are only targeting the outcropping laterite hills. The mapping indicated that the host rock unit is commonly red pyrite-altered granite. Some specimens of red granite also contain up to 3% pyrite with minor chalcopyrite.
DIRECTORS' REPORT
Whilst completing the mapping around the Bompela artisanal site a new active artisanal site located 850m along strike from the main Bompela artisanal site was located. The area between the two sites is covered by alluvial material and is a high priority target for the Company. Mining is very active at the new site, which is mostly focused on the hill slope beneath the laterite escarpment. Apart from the two main sites, artisanal miners are also digging test pits along the laterite escarpment north of the main site.
Shears filled with quartz veins and chlorite was observed in the artisanal open pit. These veins and the granitoid stock are being targeted by the artisanal miners. The gold mineralisation at Bompela occurs as a vein stockwork developed in competent granodiorite and granite and is typical of granitoid- hosted gold deposits.
A total of 392 grab samples of pit dump material that included quartz veins, fresh white granite, fresh red granite, amphibolite and weathered granite were collected from the Bompela artisanal workings. These samples are from the main artisanal mining area at Bompela and the new active artisanal site located 850m southwest of the main workings. The grab samples returned significant results including 8 samples >1g/t Au with peak values including 24.5 g/t, 7.2 g/t & 6.46 g/t Au. It is interesting to note that although the peak gold values are from quartz veins the samples taken of the host granite are also highly anomalous averaging 0.9 g/t Au where no quartz veining is present.
The gold mineralisation at the Bompela workings is contained in quartz veins and the alteration zones adjacent to the veins. Most of the quartz veins are hosted by granitoid with hydrothermal alteration around the veins appearing to have altered the white granite to a red or dark pink, granite. Sulphidation with the addition of pyrite and chalcopyrite is also present. The extent of alteration from the veins is still to be tested.
This style of mineralisation is similar to that of many other granitoid-hosted gold deposits of the Eburnian age in West Africa (Ghana especially). Examples include Perseus Mining Ltd.'s Edikan mine (ASX: PRU) and Xtra-Gold Resources deposit at Kibi (TSX: XTG). These types of deposits typically consist of sets of moderately dipping quartz veins up to 1 metre in thickness with wall rock alteration around the veins. Gold is found in the quartz veins and the alteration zones. These granitoid-hosted deposits usually occur near the margins of the granitoid where competency contrasts occur between the granitoid and the country rock.
The mapping and sampling highlighted the potential of the Bompela area and helped develop the next stage of exploration. A staged program is now underway to ensure drill testing of the main artisanal and regional targets is fast tracked.
Fraser Range Project (RTR option to purchase 100%)
In June 2013, Rumble acquired an option to purchase the Fraser Range Project located within the highly prospective Fraser Complex of the Albany-Fraser Tectonic Zone. The project consists of granted exploration licence E28/2268 covering an area of 68 km². The Project is prospective for Nova-style nickel and copper sulphide mineralisation.
Previous drilling on the Fraser Range Project consisted of 2 diamond drill holes completed by Teck Australia Pty Ltd (Teck) between 2007 and 2010. The two diamond drill holes targeted a sub circular gravity anomaly and a magnetic anomaly. The exploration failed to identify mineralisation and the project was relinquished. Of significance is that the exploration was completed prior to the discovery of the Nova nickel-copper massive sulphide deposit by Sirius Resources NL.
Teck completed interpretation of the diamond drilling including geochemistry, petrographic studies and age dating of the various rock units. In reviewing this data, Rumble's technical team has identified that the previous
DIRECTORS' REPORT
exploration intersected metagabbro rock units which are also the host unit to the Nova deposit. Age dating of the rocks by the Geological Survey of WA (GSWA) suggests the metagabbro rock units at the Fraser Range Project are of a similar age to rock units at the Nova deposit.
Data supplied by the vendors has also included detailed airborne magnetics, two ground gravity surveys and regional geochemistry. It has also been noted that the second core hole drilled by Teck failed to intersect the source of the circular gravity high and this will be a high priority target for further exploration which is likely to include airborne and ground EM surveys.
Beadell Project
The Beadell Project consists of one granted exploration licence and five exploration licence applications covering 885 km² of the Rudall Complex and Yeneena Group located 450 kilometres East of Newman in Western Australia. Three of the licences are owned Rumble 80% and Cauldron Energy Ltd (ASX: CXU) 20%, two licences are Rumble 80% and De Grey Mining Ltd (ASX: DEG) 20% and one licence is owned Rumble 90% and private company JML Resources Pty Ltd 10%. The region is host to significant mineral deposits including the Telfer Gold Mine, Nifty Copper Mine and the Kintyre Uranium Deposit.
Initial interest in the Beadell area was based on the delineation of two airborne EM anomalies (Maxwell & Kaos Prospects) following completion of a Hoist EM survey in 2005 which was confirmed by a Federal Government funded Tempest EM survey in 2007. The southern anomaly (Maxwell) was drilled by Cauldron in 2010 with six RC drill holes completed and intersected significant disseminated base metal mineralisation including 8m @ 0.26% Cu and 28m @ 0.18% Pb & 0.20% Zn. This drilling highlighted the potential for disseminated Cu-Pb-Zn mineralisation in the area.
Following up on targets identified by downhole EM, dipole-dipole induced polarisation, gradient array induced polarisation and moving loop EM surveying Rumble completed a program of 16 RC drill holes, including 6 holes which had diamond tails. Five of the diamond holes were drilled at the Maxwell prospect and 1 was drilled at the Ninety Nine prospect for a total of 3,416 metres.
Rumble received $150,000 of funding under the WA State Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme to assist with the drill testing of the Beadell Projects EM and IP targets.
Maxwell Prospect
Results from the diamond and RC drilling program at Maxwell were received and indicated that there is widespread anomalous zinc and lead mineralisation and localised copper mineralisation.
Maxwell is a large mineralised system with widths up to 80m with 5% to 35% sulphides present. A total of 235 metres of sulphide mineralisation has been intersected across the 996 metres of diamond drilling at the Maxwell prospect. The recent drill program has confirmed the targeted area is a large, tabular, high sulphide, anomalous zinc, lead and copper mineralised body displaying characteristics of a Sedimentary Exhalative (SEDEX) system. The drilling only targeted the upper portion (200m vertical depth) of the larger EM conductive plate which extends to at least a 500m vertical depth and is yet to be tested.
The mineralisation at Maxwell is dominated by fine grained sulphides which are laminated and show a wide variety of textures including soft sedimentary deformation and slump structures. There are also zones of stockwork and stringer mineralisation which cross cut earlier sulphide mineralisation. The oriented diamond core has also provided a significant amount of information on the geometry of the mineralised system and though the
DIRECTORS' REPORT
rocks have undergone extensive regional metamorphism, bedding features useful to determine the stratigraphic sequence are still present.
Ninety Nine Prospect
One diamond hole was completed at the Ninety Nine dipole target area 900 metres to the east of the drilling at the Maxwell Prospect. This hole was drilled to 333 metres and intersected a large alteration system. The upper portion of the hole was of meta-sedimentary rocks and BIF units to 64 metres. From 64 metres to 145 metres the metasediments were carbonate-epidote-magnetite altered. The most extensive alteration was from 145 metres to the end of the hole at 333 metres. There is quartz veining throughout and minor faulting in places. The dominant sulphides are pyrite between 145 metres to 310 metres and increasing pyrite replacing biotite bands from 310 metres to 333 metres and minor magnetite reappearing. The large alteration system significantly increases the prospectivity of the Ninety Nine target.
Results from the hole at Ninety Nine indicate that there are anomalous precious metals up to 0.75 g/t gold associated with this large alteration system and as the large IP anomaly was not intercepted, the Ninety Nine prospect remains a priority target.
Kaos and Control Prospects
The Kaos and Control Prospects are highly conductive airborne EM targets which were not drilled in this program and remain to be tested.
Future work at the Beadell Project is likely to include further dipole-dipole IP at both the Ninety Nine and Kaos Prospects followed by drill testing. The Company has been awarded a $150,000 drilling grant for testing of the Kaos airborne EM anomaly under the State Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme.
Ashburton Project
The Ashburton Project consists of exploration licences at both Paulsens South and at Boolaloo located approximately 150km Northwest of Paraburdoo in Western Australia. The project area is located in the Archaean to Proterozoic-aged Wyloo Dome, Ashburton basin and Boolaloo granite. Known mineralisation within the area includes the Paulsens Gold Mine, Mt Clement gold deposit, Belvedere Gold Prospect and Tombstone Copper Prospect. The Melrose Fault Zone along with a second major northwest trending fault zone, the Highway Fault Zone, both pass through the Paulsens South Project area.
The Paulsens South area consists of five granted exploration licences covering a combined area of 82 km². Two of the licences are subject to a joint venture agreement with Venture Minerals Ltd (ASX: VMS) whereby Rumble will earn a 51% interest by the expenditure of $500,000 by 1 July 2014 and a further 19% interest by the expenditure of a further $1 million by 1 July 2016. The other three licences are held 100% by Rumble. The project area is located in close proximity to the Paulsens Gold Mine operated by Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST) which produced 80,000 ounces of gold in 2011 at an average grade of 7.9 g/t.
Exploration by Rumble at Paulsens South during the year has included an RC drilling program. The RC drilling program was completed in October with 17 holes drilled for 1,688 metres. This drilling was located at targets on both the Melrose and Highway Fault Zones aimed at testing a combination of geophysical, structural and geochemical targets that are thought to be prospective for Paulsens style quartz-sulphide vein hosted gold mineralisation.
DIRECTORS' REPORT
Four separate drill traverses were completed during the program, two at the Highway Fault Zone and one along each of the two dipole-dipole IP lines in the Melrose Fault Zone area. Drilling at the Highway Fault Zone intersected numerous quartz veins ranging in width from a few centimetres up to five metres. Some of the quartz veins contained pyrite. Veining at the Highway Zone was hosted within variably sheared shale, basalt and dolerite. The western most drill traverse in the Melrose Fault Zone area intersected some quartz veins hosted within massive to strongly sheared basalt. The eastern most drill traverse in the Melrose Fault Zone area intersected gabbro and dolerite. A twelve metre wide fault zone containing pyrrhotite, a magnetic iron sulphide mineral, was intersected along this traverse line and appears to explain the magnetic and chargeability anomaly that was being targeted.
Four metre composite samples (444 samples in total) were submitted to the analytical laboratory in Perth for gold and base metal assay. Results from two holes returned low level base metal mineralisation with hole PSRC004 intersecting 4m @ 0.15% Zn & 0.05% Pb from 84m and hole PSRC006 intersecting 4m @ 0.13% Cu from 20m.
The Boolaloo area is located in close proximity to the Mt Clement Gold Deposit and consists of three granted exploration licences and two exploration licence applications covering a combined area of 514 km². The project overlies rocks of the Proterozoic Ashburton basin and the Boolaloo granite. Historic exploration at Boolaloo has identified several gold and base metal (Cu-Pb-Zn) prospects which the Company is targeting.
Leyland Project (RTR 100%)
Rumble applied for three exploration licences covering 1,305 km² in the Gibson Desert region of Western Australia in March 2013. This large strategic holding is adjacent to Corazon Mining Ltd's (ASX: CZN) Top Up Rise Project.
Reprocessing of gravity data for the region has indicated that a significant portion of Rumble's Leyland Project area is underlain by rocks that have an elevated gravity response. The Top Up Rise Project gravity anomaly appears to sit along a northeast – southwest trending gravity ridge which extends into Rumble's Leyland Project at both the northern and southern ends. The elevated gravity response through the area suggests that underlying rock units may include mafic (amphibolite) and ultramafic rock types. The most significant gravity high on the Leyland Project is a circular feature of nearly 10km in diameter that is a possible intrusive body and is located in the northern project area on tenement E 80/4767.
The magnetics data also highlights a major regional fault structure that is adjacent to the main TUR Project gravity anomaly which is currently being drilled by Corazon. This North-Northeast trending fault structure runs through Rumble's exploration licence application 80/4780 and has two significant magnetic highs along the fault that are a priority for further exploration.
Rumble is continuing work on the geophysics data and progressing approvals for ground exploration.
DIRECTORS' REPORT
Canegrass Project (RTR 90%)
The Canegrass Project consists of one granted exploration licence, E29/783, located 100km North of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia covering a total area of 300 km².
Geologically, the project covers a portion of the Norseman - Wiluna Greenstone Belt in the Archaean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. More specifically the area consists of a sequence of mafic - ultramafic rocks, felsic volcanics, sediments and granite. Large fault structures are interpreted to separate the granite from the mafic ultramafic sequences on the western and eastern sides of the project area. The Canegrass Project has favourable geology and structural settings to host significant gold mineralisation and is also prospective for nickel and base metal mineralisation.
Exploration undertaken at the project during the year consisted of a first pass auger geochemistry program of 652 samples taken along 23 separate east-west sample lines. The program covered approximately 1/3 of the project area and assay results have identified several areas of anomalism. Sample results identified an area of high copper anomalism in the southern project returning a peak assay of 3,080ppm Cu. Sampling in the area is currently on lines 800m apart and the anomaly is currently confined to a single sample line.
Three broad areas of low level gold anomalism (Peak 67ppb Au) have been identified on the western side of the program area. All three of these anomalous areas are striking northwest with the orientation of the stratigraphy and extend for 1.6km, 1.4km and 1.4km in length.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
2. Remuneration policy
The Company's remuneration policy has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Company's financial results. The board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Company, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.
The board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows:
- The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the board
- All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation and are entitled to the issue of share options. The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company's performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.
The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive and is based predominantly on the forecast growth of the Company's shareholders' value. The board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to the Board's recommendations. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.
Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.
The executive director receives a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9%, and does not receive any other retirement benefits.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed, or capitalised to exploration expenditure if appropriate. Options, if given to directors and executives in lieu of remuneration, are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.
The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors' interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee share option plan.
3. Options issued as part of remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2013
6,000,000 (2012: 1,500,000) options were granted to Key Management Personnel as part of their remuneration during the year.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES
Further information, other than as disclosed this report, about likely developments in the operations of the Company and the expected results of those operations in future periods has not been included in this report as disclosure of this information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The Company's operations are subject to significant environmental regulation under the law of the Commonwealth and State in relation to discharge of hazardous waste and materials arising from any mining activities and development conducted by the Company on any of its tenements. To date the Company has only carried out exploration activities and there have been no known breaches of any environmental obligations.
DIRECTORS' REPORT
The directors have considered the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about the greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the Company for the current, nor subsequent financial period. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.
PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY
No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings.
The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.
INDEMNIFYING AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS
The Company has entered into deeds of indemnity with each director whereby, to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001, the Company agreed to indemnify each director against all loss and liability incurred as an officer of the Company, including all liability in defending any relevant proceedings.
The Company has paid premiums to insure each of the directors against liabilities for costs and expenses incurred by them in defending any legal proceedings arising out of their conduct while acting in the capacity of director of the Company, other than conduct involving a wilful breach of duty in relation to the Company. The disclosure of the amount of the premium is prohibited by the insurance policy.

To The Board of Directors
As lead audit director for the audit of the financial statements of Rumble Resources Limited and Controlled Entities for the financial year ended 30 June 2013, I declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have been no contraventions of:
- the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit; and

Yours faithfully
BENTLEYS DOUG BELL CA Chartered Accountants Director
DATED at PERTH this 27 th day of September 2013



We have audited the accompanying financial report of Rumble Resources Limited ("the Company") and its Controlled Entities ("the Consolidated Entity"), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and 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.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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 financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standards AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
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. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 control 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 control. 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.




In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.
In our opinion:
- a. The financial report of Rumble Resources Limited and Controlled Entities 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 2013 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
- ii. complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001;
- b. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a net loss of $2,207,382 during the year ended 30 June 2013. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in directors' report of the year ended 30 June 2013. 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.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Rumble Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2013, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements and notes represent those of Rumble Resources Limited and controlled entities (the "Company"). Rumble Resources is a listed public Company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 27 September 2013 by the directors of the Company.
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected financial assets for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency.
Comparatives
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlements of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Consolidated Entity incurred an operating loss of $2,207,382 for the year ended 30 June 2013 (2012: $819,041) and net cash outflows from operating activities amounting to $2,989,850 (2012: $1,408,917).
The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the Company successfully raising additional share capital. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that the Consolidated Entity will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 months period from the date of signing this financial report. The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis because of the following factors:
- the Directors have an appropriate plan to raise additional funds as and when they are required. In light of the entity's current exploration projects, the Directors believe that the additional capital required can be raised in the market which has been evidenced subsequent to year end with the raising of $944,728 via the issue of shares and options.
- The Consolidated Entity has the ability to scale down its operations in order to curtail expenditure, in the event that any capital raisings are delayed or insufficient cash is available to meet projected expenditure; and
- The Consolidated Entity can sell interest in tenement assets for cash or for assets readily convertible to cash.
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Should the Consolidated Entity not achieve the matters set out above, there is uncertainty whether it would continue as a going concern and therefore whether it would realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Entity not be able to continue as a going concern.
Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial report.
a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Rumble Resources Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Rumble Resources Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered.
Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Consolidated Entity during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased). A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 19 to the financial statements.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.
b) Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
c) Plant and Equipment
Items of plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset's employment and subsequent disposal.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| Class of Fixed Asset | Depreciation Rate |
|---|---|
| Office equipment | 40.0% |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in profit or loss. When re-valued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
d) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one period of abandoning the site.
e) Leases
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
f) Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs where the instrument is not classified as 'at fair value through profit or loss', in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Amortised cost is calculated as:
- a) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
- b) less principal repayments;
- c) plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and
- d) less any reduction for impairment.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.
The Company does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
• Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
Financial assets are classified 'at fair value through profit or loss' when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance valuation where a Company of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the carrying value being included in profit or loss.
• Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets).
• Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company's intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other investments are classified as current assets).
If during the period the Company sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of the held-to-maturity investments before maturity, the entire held-to-maturity investments category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale.
• Available for sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other financial assets are classified as current assets).
• Financial Liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Fair Value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value of all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Impairment
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
De-recognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity is no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of noncash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
g) Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
h) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within a 12 month period have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than 12 months have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Equity-settled compensation
The Company operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black-Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
i) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
j) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less.
k) Revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
l) Borrowing Costs
All borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred.
m) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
n) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Environmental Issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Company's development and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.
Taxation
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors' best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting policy stated in note 1(d).
Share based payment transactions
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the assumptions detailed in note 14.
For equity transactions with consultants and other employees, the fair value reflects the value attributable to services where applicable. Where there is no quantifiable value of services the value of options is calculated using the Black and Scholes option pricing model.
o) New accounting standards for application in future periods
At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective. The Directors have reviewed the standards and considered that in its current position the standards are unlikely to have a material effect on the financial position of the consolidated entity.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and exploration expenditure carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2013 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point in time. These benefits will only be obtained if:
- the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure to be realised;
- no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The value of the Company's interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:
- the continuance of the Company's rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
- the results of future exploration; and
- the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.
The Company's exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to Aboriginal people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.

Terms and conditions of issued capital
Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of shares held. At the shareholders' meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.
Capital risk management
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Due to the nature of the Company's activities, being mineral exploration, it does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Accordingly, the objective of the Company's capital risk management is to balance the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. This is achieved by maintaining appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.
The net working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2013 is $148,144 (2012: $1,438,683) and the net decrease in cash held during the year was $1,361,816 (2012: decrease of $1,296,966). The Company's capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. The Company has unused financing facilities of $50,000.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 21: COMMITMENTS
Exploration expenditure commitments
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Company is required to perform minimum exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements specified by the relevant authorities. These obligations are subject to renegotiation when application for a mining lease is made and at other times. These obligations are not provided for in the financial report. The actual expenditures to date on tenements have exceeded the minimum expenditure requirements specified by the relevant authorities during the current tenement grant periods.

|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | ||
| Not Longer than 12 months | 1,010,604 | 570,260 | |

| Longer than 5 years | - | 142,948 | |
| 1,924,736 | 1,791,471 |
If the Company decides to relinquish certain leases and/or does not meet these obligations, assets recognised in the Statement of Financial Position may require review to determine the appropriateness of carrying values. The sale, transfer or farm-out of exploration rights to third parties will reduce or extinguish these obligations. The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective mining areas.
There are no other commitments at 30 June 2013.
NOTE 22: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
On 6 August 2012, the Consolidated Entity entered into a joint venture agreement with Canyon Resources Limited for the Derosa Project, which comprises of 6 contiguous tenements in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Under the terms of the joint venture, Rumble can earn a 51% interest by spending USD$1.5 million on the Derosa Project by 30 September 2014 and may acquire a further 24% interest by spending a further USD$1.5 million by 31 March 2017. Canyon will retain a 25% free carry interest in the Derosa Project up to the decision to do a prefeasibility report. At that point, Canyon has the option to commit to its share of funds ongoing or to reduce via an industry standard dilution clause. If Canyon elects to dilute to 0% ownership of the Derosa Project, Canyon will retain a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty.
On 16 August 2012, the Consolidated Entity purchased 100% of the issued capital in Goldstone Holdings Pty Ltd ("Goldstone"), which holds a 20% interest in the Beadell Project. The Consolidated Entity must pay the Vendors of Goldstone a 3% net smelter royalty "NSR" on E45/2405, ELA 45/3799 and ELA 45/382. Rumble can at any time reduce the 3% NSR to a 1% NSR by paying $1,500,000.
In the opinion of the directors there were no other contingent liabilities at 30 June 2013, and the interval between 30 June 2013 and the date of this report.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 23: OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. During the period, the Company is managed primarily on the basis of one geographical segment being Australia, and two business segments being mineral exploration and treasury.
Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Company.
Inter-segment transactions
Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received net of transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements.
Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.
Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.
Unallocated items
The following items of revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:
• Head office and other administrative expenditure

NOTE 24: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable, investments in listed shares and accounts payable.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the oversight and management of the Company's exposure to a variety of financial risks (including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk).
Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements.
The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is spread amongst approved counterparties.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the board. The board's policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard & Poor's rating of at least AA-. All of the Company's surplus funds are invested with AA Rated financial institutions.
The credit risk for counterparties included in cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2013 is detailed below:
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 2013$ | 2012$ |
|---|---|
| 259,957 | 1,621,773 |
The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or Company of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Company.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company'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 Company's reputation.
The responsibility with liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate working capital is maintained. The Company's policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash reserves to carry out its planned exploration activities over the next 12 months.

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 Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as it invests funds at floating interest rates.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
At 30 June 2013, the effect on loss and equity as a result of a 2% increase in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be a decrease in loss by $5,199 (2012: $32,435) and an increase in equity by $5,199 (2012: $32,435). The effect on loss and equity as a result of a 2% decrease in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be an increase in loss by $5,199 (2012: $32,435) and an decrease in equity by $5,199 (2012: $32,435).
Fair value of financial instruments
The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their fair value.
Financial instruments measured at fair value
The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:
- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (level 1);
- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and
- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).
| 2013 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |

| Fair value through profit or loss | ||||

| Fair value through profit or loss | ||||
| -Listed investments – held for trading | 117,021 | - | - | 117,021 |
Included within level 1 of the hierarchy are listed investments. The fair value of these financial assets have been based on the closing quoted bid prices at the end of the reporting period, excluding transaction costs.
