REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Currently Rumble Resources Limited’s (“Rumble”) activities are focussed on the Fraser Range with the Company making a recent acquisition of the Big Red Project and also commencing a Joint Venture with Blackham Resources on the Zanthus Project. The Company also retains a Joint Venture with Canyon in Burkina Faso and other gold and base metal projects in Western Australia.

Fraser Range Project

The Fraser Range Project is prospective for sulphide nickel and copper mineralisation similar to the discovery of the Nova deposit just over 18 months ago by Sirius Resources Ltd (ASX: SIR). The Company has two main project areas, Big Red, to the north and a recent Joint Venture at Zanthus 18km east of the Nova deposit. The Big Red Project has exciting geological factors previously defined, from drilling completed by Teck Australia in 2010 and subsequent study of the drill core by the Geological Survey of Western Australia. This included the intersection of mafic gabbro sills in both Teck Australia drillholes, BRDDH001 & BRDDH002, which is also the host rock unit to the Nova and Bollinger nickel-copper sulphide deposits and interestingly also the host to nickel-copper sulphides intersected at the Mammoth target by Classic Minerals Ltd (ASX:CLZ) announced in December 2013.

The company commenced exploration with a ground electro-magnetic (“EM”) survey programme to determine if conductive bodies which may represent massive sulphide mineralisation are present. This moving-loop electro-magnetic (EM) survey aimed to explore the highly prospective magnetic and gravity targets that were recently identified through reprocessing ground gravity data and 3D inversion modelling of detailed airborne magnetics.

This ground EM survey has identified a significant bedrock conductor which is currently 2.2km long. The bedrock conductor is of moderate conductance levels and has a depth extent of around 250 metres to the top of the body, which is dipping towards the east.

The conductor appears to be parallel to the local geology with the conductance levels increasing and becoming shallower as the EM survey continues moving towards the north.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)

Rumbles application for the WA State Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) has been successful. Rumble has been awarded up to $150,000 in co-funding to drill test the highly prospective Fraser Range Project targets.

The EIS scheme is an initiative by the WA Government to encourage innovative drilling by companies in Greenfields regions of Western Australia. Rumble considers the grant of EIS funding, which is subject to a competitive process, to be indicative of the quality of the Fraser Range Project and targets identified to date.

Rumble has acquired the Big Red Project 100% by paying $30,000 in cash and $70,000 in listed shares with one free attaching option for each listed share.

The Company subsequent to 31 December 2013 also announced that it had entered into a Joint Venture with Blackham Resources on the Zanthus project E69/2506 is situated approximately 18km East of the recently discovered Nova Nickel Copper Massive Sulphide discovery by Sirius Resources NL (ASX: SIR).

The transaction has repositioned Rumble as a major player in the Fraser Range nickel province with 796 sq km’s of ground prospective for nickel and copper massive sulphides. Strongly magnetic units can be recognised in the aeromagnetic data, especially in the central region of the project area, and are interpreted as potential mafic and ultramafic units. These magnetic horizons also indicate potentially prospective structural features including dilation zones and fault offsets.

The Zanthus Project has previously been explored for lignite, however very little base and precious metal exploration has been conducted to date, especially into the basement.

Historic drilling by Sabminco NL in 1993 indicated that anomalous Gold and PGE values were identified during an exploration drilling campaign at Zanthus and returned anomalous results of up to 2m @ 150ppb gold, 4.19ppb palladium and 15.4ppb platinum from a depth of 55m down hole. From past drilling the basement is interpreted to be between 20m and 55m below surface.

a) Mineral Rights. Rumble agreed to acquire all the basement mineral rights in the Project which excludes coal and mineral sands/heavy metals within the sedimentary cover sequences. Blackham will keep all rights over Zanthus coal orebody.

b) Acquiring 20% interest. Rumble has acquired an initial 20% initial interest in the Project in consideration for Rumble issuing to Blackham 2,000,000 Rumble Shares. (Stage 1 Earn-in Milestone).

c) Acquiring 50% interest. Rumble will acquire a 50% interest in the Project through spending $1million Australian dollars on exploration over the first 2 years from the date of the Formal Agreement (Stage 2 Earn-in Milestone).

On meeting the 50% interest, Rumble shall make a payment of $250,000 Australian dollars to be apportioned 30% in cash and 70% in Rumble shares.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)

Minimum 50% - If Rumble doesn’t satisfy the Stage 2 Earn-in Milestone, Rumble will transfer back its 20% interest in the Project.

d) Acquiring 75% interest. Rumble will acquire a 75% interest in the Project through spending an additional $1.5 million Australian dollars on exploration in years 3 and 4 from the date of the Formal Agreement (Stage 3 Earn-in Milestone).

On meeting the 75% interest, Rumble shall make a payment of $500,000 Australian dollars to be apportioned 30% in cash and 70% in Rumble shares.

e) Free Carry. Blackham will be free carried to completion of a bankable feasibility study in relation to the Project, at which point if Blackham decides not to contribute in proportion to its interest in the Project, its interest will dilute by an industry standard formula, to a minimum 10% before reverting to a 2% net smelter royalty.

Derosa Project, Burkina Faso, West Africa (RTR earning 75%, CAY 25%)

The Derosa Project in the West African country of Burkina Faso covers an area of over 1,300 km² located 125 km Northwest of the capital city of Ouagadougou. The project area is North of the Reo Project operated by Middle Island Resources Ltd (ASX: MDI).

The Derosa Project consists of a joint venture and earn-in agreement with Canyon Resources Ltd (ASX: CAY). 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 US$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 US$1,500,000 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 Bompela Prospect is located along a 30km long regional fault structure on the Bompela Permit which forms part of the Derosa Project. The Bompela Prospect contains 2 major areas of artisanal gold workings which include 3 open pits with the largest approximately 100m long and 50m wide. The 2 artisanal areas are 850m metres apart and occur along the same southwest-northeast trending regional fault.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)

The main artisanal open pit is a compelling target as it is a rare sight in West Africa with the artisanals generally following the quartz structures and only removing a minimal amount of dirt to maximise their efforts. The open pit and sampling completed by Rumble, suggests that the gold is not only in the quartz veins but also in the granite host rock which is important when looking for a deposit that could host bulk tonnage as well as suitable grade. Prior exploration by Rumble has included rock chip sampling, mapping, and a ground geophysical survey

A maiden drilling program consisting of 9 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes for 1,096 metres was completed in December 2013. The 9 holes were planned as a first phase to assess the artisanal mining areas, establish the depth of weathering and provide details on the geology of the area to aid future exploration. Two sections 100m apart in the Main artisanal site were completed and 2 holes 80m metres apart at the Western artisanal workings were drilled.

Table: Bompela RC Assay Results (>1g/t Au)

One section was drilled with an angled “scissor hole” oriented in an opposing direction to better define the shape and distribution of the mineralisation under the main artisanal working.

This drilling showed the following:

  • Strong silica-potassic-pyrite alteration of the granite body

  • All drill holes intersected gold mineralisation

  • Drill results and surface sampling of the mineralisation in the open pit indicate that the continuity of gold mineralisation within the granite is good

  • The gold mineralisation is contained within an intensely silicified and quartz veined, pyrite-bearing granite intrusion

Beadell Project, Western Australia (RTR 80%, CXU 20%)

The Beadell Project is located 450km east of Newman in the Paterson Orogen of central north Western Australia. The Paterson Orogen is host to significant mineral deposits including the Telfer Gold Mine, Nifty Copper Mine and the Kintyre Uranium Deposit. The Proterozoic-aged Paterson Province is host to several significant operating mines and mineral deposits including the Telfer Gold Mine, Nifty Copper Mine, Maroochydore Copper Deposit and the Kintyre Uranium Deposit. Recent exploration success in the area has been announced by Encounter Resources Ltd (ASX: ENR) with significant copper sulphide intersections at the BM1 and BM7 Prospects and anomalous zinc sulphide intersections at the BM2 Prospect. Encounter Resources Ltd currently have an earn in JV agreement with major copper producer Antofagasta PLC whereby they may earn an initial 51% of the project by expenditure of $20 million over a 5 year period.

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.

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 fully tested.

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.

A dipole-dipole Induced Polarisation (IP) survey was completed in December 2013 at the Kaos and NinetyNine Prospects completing 4 lines for a total of 11.3 line km surveyed. These two prospects are markedly different targets. The Kaos Prospect is a 2.2 km long x 400m wide airborne EM anomaly whilst the NinetyNine Prospect is an IP chargeability high associated with a folded unit of highly magnetic banded iron formation. A single drill hole at Ninety-Nine in 2012 drilled through banded iron formation and potassic altered tonalities and gneisses but failed to intersect and explain the IP target. The drill hole returned some anomalous gold values, including 1m @ 0.75g/t and 2m @ 0.43g/t, and petrology identified the presence of the uranium mineral uranothorite, copper sulphide mineral chalcopyrite and cerium mineral synchysite

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 82km[2] . 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).

Rumble completed an RC drilling program at Paulsens South of 17 holes drilled for 1,688 metres in October 2012. 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.

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 514km2. 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

DIRECTORS' REPORT

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)

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.

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 300km2.

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.

Basis of Preparation

These interim financial statements constitute a general purpose financial report and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB134 ensures compliance with IAS134: Interim Financial Reports. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2013.

These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 14 March 2014.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company’s 2013 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2013, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current half year. New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current half-year that are relevant to the Group include:

RUMBLE RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2013

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

The above standards have extensive disclosure requirements, however these do not effect this half year financial report other than as disclosed in Note 8: Financial Instruments.

The adoption of the above standards have not had a material impact on this half year financial report.

Going concern

The half-year financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Group incurred a loss for the half-year of $276,319 (31 December 2012: $631,912) and net operating cash outflows of $866,920 (31 December 2012: $1,974,357).

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Group to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets and managing cashflow in line with available funds. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. In the event the above matters are not achieved, the Group will be required to raise funds for working capital from debt or equity sources.

The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Group will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of signing this financial report.

Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. In particular, given the Group's history of raising capital to date, the directors are confident the Group can raise additional funds as and when they are required.

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

==> picture [256 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [103 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [160 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Rumble Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the Consolidated Entity, comprising the Company and the entities it controlled during the half-year.

==> picture [173 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [110 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

==> picture [117 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

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 31 December 2013 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 the Company, 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.

==> picture [130 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [57 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [72 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [74 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

==> picture [59 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

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 Rumble Resources Limited 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 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b. complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

==> picture [67 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [27 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a net loss of $276,319 during the period ended 31 December 2013. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicates 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 half- year financial report.
