REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

weathering which directly overlies the primary fresh ore. Such blankets usually include chalcocite (Cu2S, 80% Cu by weight), which has been identified in outcrop and drill core at Kaskara. Whether a deep-seated copper blanket exists at Kaskara is yet to be determined, but this style of mineralisation is certainly consistent with observations made to date and is therefore a target for continued drilling.

Diamond drilling

Eighteen diamond drillholes have been drilled at Kaskara this year (Figure 2). Of these, only eight were effective in reaching their target depth, and none of these were aimed at primary mineralisation at depth. This has been a result of very difficult drilling conditions in the weathered zone around and within oxidised mineralisation. The poor condition of the weathered rocks have resulted in low core recovery and ground collapse.

Drilling is ongoing in order to test the deep geophysical targets that may indicate sulphide mineralisation.

Intercepts

Significant copper-lead-zinc-vanadium mineralisation has been intercepted at Kaskara in the weathered upper portions of the prospect. The copper, lead and zinc mineralisation is largely in the form of vanadates rather than sulphides and is ubiquitously associated with iron oxides (hematite) at Kaskara. Even outside of the well-mineralised zones, hematite dustings on features like joint surfaces are associated with highly anomalous copper, lead and zinc values.

Drilling has intercepted several very thick mineralised iron oxide zones, but the soft and friable nature of the material has resulted in many of the samples being washed away by the drilling process and not recovered. Of the recovered samples, several intercepts have been confirmed:

  • KKDD029[1] , 21.9m @ 0.45% Cu, 5.79% Pb, 1.81% Zn, and 1.41% V, from 54.0m

  • KKDD026[*] , 6.0m @ 0.21% Cu, 2.70% Pb, 1.34% Zn, and 0.50% V, from 34.9m

  • KKDD025, 2.7m @ 0.69% Cu, 10.45% Pb, 3.40% Zn, and 2.41% V, from 0m

  • KKDD025, 1.0m @ 0.35% Cu, 3.11% Pb, 0.80% Zn, and 0.73% V, from 24m

  • KKDD024, 2.0m @ 0.11% Cu, 1.30% Pb, 0.96% Zn, and 0.29% V, from 22m

  • KKDD021, 4.0m @ 0.12%Cu, 1.05% Pb, 0.39% Zn, and 0.24% V, from 22m

Broken ground in the weathered cap

Deep weathering is common around the major deposits of the Otavi Mountainland. At Kaskara, it has resulted in broken ground to depths of at least 200 m downhole. As well as delaying and prolonging drilling, it has resulted in extreme core loss, collapsed drillholes, and unsatisfactory progress.

The core loss is a result of the impact of the drilling process on the extremely soft and friable rocks within the deeply weathered zone at Kaskara. Many of these zones of extreme core loss are considered to be mineralised. This is shown by several samples from within these zones, and also by common hematite in these zones. At Kaskara, hematite is always associated with strong concentrations of copper, lead, zinc and vanadium.

1 Intervals uncertain due to poor core recovery, requires confirmatory drilling.

Kaskara r e presents a highly pro s pective op p ortunity fo r Sabre. Significant c o pper-lead-zinc sulphid e mineralisation is expected at depth b elow the z o ne of oxida t ion. Geoph y sical data s u ggests that the sulphid e mineralisation should b e located ar o und 200m b eneath surf a ce

Drill rigs n o w have ac c ess to gro u nd from w h ich we can target this deep-seate d mineralisa t ion. Difficul t drilling and limited ac c ess has pr e cluded pe n etration to b elow the b ase of co m plete oxida t ion to date . Further wo r k is being c o nducted to limit core l o ss and stabilise the overlying oxidis e d rock ma s s to preven t in-hole coll a pses. Drilli n g from the top of the hil l will interce p t the target geophysica l anomaly at a downhol e depth of ar o und 250m.

DRIEHOEK Pb-Zn

Driehoek is a z inc-lead d eposit outcroppin g on a serie s of prominent hills around 2.5 km south o f Kaskara ( Figure 1). Broad zones of moderate grade mineralisation enclos e numerou s high grades zon e s.

Driehoek i s comprise d of four discrete bodies: Dri e hoek North , Driehoek C entral, Driehoek East and Driehoek South (Figure 8). The first t h ree of the s e will comprise t h e initial res o urce at Dri e hoek. Driehoek S outh was subject t o less historical e x ploration a n d will requir e more extensive w ork before a resource m ay be calculated.

The present work prog r amme at Driehoek North, Cen t ral and Ea s t aims to c onfirm and valida t e extensive historic trenching and drilling. This data, c ombined wi t h new high-resolu t ion Lidar surveys to accurately constrain t h e topograp h y, will be used to calculate a n initial r esource f o r the deposits.

composition. Several holes suggest that the deeper portions of the deposit drilled to date are more zinc rich than those portions further up dip.

Metallurgy

Metallurgical test work of the Border deposit has shown that the mineralisation is readily amenable to upgrading by heavy media separation (HMS) and flotation. Importantly, the deposit does not show any complicating metallurgical factors, showing textbook behaviour in response to treatment.

Border’s ideal metallurgical behaviour is a result of its simple mineralogy. The host dolomite shows a strong density contrast with the only sulphides present in significant quantity, sphalerite (zinc sulphide) and galena (lead sulphide). A coarse crush size of 12.5 mm allows a single pass HMS upgrading of the potential ore to around 18.8% Pb+Zn (12.5% Zn and 6.3% Pb), with excellent recoveries.

The mineralisation has responded exceptionally well to beneficiation, comminution, flotation and cleaning tests. There are no potential metallurgical problems in the beneficiation and concentration of the Border mineralisation.

Scoping Study and Resource

The overwhelmingly positive result of the metallurgical studies has prompted Sabre to initiate a high level scoping study of the Border deposit. This study is currently underway, with initial results suggesting that mining at Border will support a larger tonnage and lower grade operation.

A comprehensive review of all data collected from Border is currently underway in an effort to calculate an initial inferred resource for the deposit. Sabre will announce a maiden JORC resource for Border on completion of this review.

HOBA OST Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag

Previously unrecognised mineralisation was identified in the Hoba Ost area in the southeast of the Ongava Project licence area. The Hoba Ost area lies 11 km east of the Kaskara copper-lead-zinc-vanadium prospect and 8 km south of the Border lead-zinc deposit (Figure 1).

Highly anomalous copper, lead, zinc, silver and vanadium are evident in outcropping carbonate rocks distributed over an area covering 470 hectares (Figure 14). Like Kaskara, the mineralisation at Hoba Ost is located just south of the Uitsab Fault, a major east-west trending structure that is commonly associated with mineralisation. It is too early to classify the style of mineralisation present in the Hoba Ost area, though it does show affinities with Tsumeb-style copper mineralisation.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

OTHER PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Given the broad expanse of Sabre’s Ongava Project, an ongoing field reconnaissance programme is actively and systematically surveying known prospects and prospective areas. Mineralisation in the Hoba Ost area was discovered by this programme. Sabre’s regional magnetic dataset combined with new geological interpretations are instrumental in the identification these newly prospective areas like Hoba Ost.

At South Ridge, around 7.5km east of Border on the Pavian Trend, outcropping lead-zinc-copper mineralisation is being mapped in detail. As expected, controls on mineralisation appear to be similar to those at Border. Preparations are presently underway for first-pass shallow drilling of South Ridge and the soil-covered Toggenburg Plains. It is expected that this 7.5km long area will host several concentrations of lead-zinc (and possibly copper) sulphide mineralisation that, once drilled, will augment the potential lead-zinc resources at Border and Driehoek.

Ongoing assessment of other projects in the vicinity of the Ongava Project continues. Projects within a nominal 100 km radius of the Ongava Project are being considered for exploration from our existing base. Several copper plays and historic mines are being investigated in detail, and negotiations are continuing on potential access to these projects.

ANALYSIS OF MOVEMENT IN OPTIONS

There was no movement during the reporting period, of options over ordinary shares in the Company held by each Director and KMP employee.

No person entitled to exercise the option had or has any right by virtue of the option to participate in any share issue of any other body corporate.

Non-executive Directors receive a fixed fee, with Executive Directors being remunerated for any professional services conducted for the Company.

No Director has an employment contract, but the employment terms and conditions of key management personnel and Group executives are formalised in twelve month contracts of employment.

Terms of employment require that thirty days notice of termination of contract is required from either employer or employee. There is no agreement to pay any termination payment other than accrued salary and annual leave.

Directors received no benefits in the form of share-based payments during the year ended 30 June 2011.

There are no retirement schemes for any Directors or any loans or any other type of compensation.

Board policy on the remuneration for this exploration company is influenced by comparing fees paid to directors in other companies within the exploration industry, and then set at a level to attract qualified people, to accept the responsibilities of directorship. No Director, executive or employee has an employment contract.

Being an exploration company with no earnings, a relationship is yet to be established between an emolument policy and the company’s performance.

MEETINGS OF DIRECTORS

The following table sets out the number of meetings of the Company's Directors held during the year ended 30 June 2011, and the number of meetings attended by each Director.

Name Eligible to
attend
Attended
Alexander Clemen 4 4

As at the date of this report, the following options have been granted over unissued ordinary shares in the Company:

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS

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.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

No Audit Committee has been formed as the Directors believe that the Company is not of a size to justify having a separate Audit Committee. Given the small size of the Board, the Directors believe an Audit Committee structure to be inefficient.

AASB 139
Financial
Instruments:
Recognition
and
Measurement
(part)

AASB 9 introduces new
requirements for the
classification and
measurement of financial
assets and liabilities. AASB 9
uses a single approach to
determine whether a financial
asset is measured at amortised
cost or fair value, replacing the
many different rules in AASB
139 and removes the
impairment requirement for
financial assets held at fair
value.
In addition, the majority of
requirements from AASB 139
for the classification and
measurement of financial
liabilities has been carried
forward unchanged, except in
relation to own credit risk
where an entity takes the
option to measure financial
liabilities at fair value. AASB 9
requires the amount of the
change in fair value due to
changes in the entity’s own
credit risk to be presented in
other comprehensive income
(OCI), unless there is an
accounting mismatch in the
profit or loss, in which case all
gains or losses are to be
presented in the profit or loss.
The requirements from AASB
139 related to the
derecognition of financial
assets and liabilities have been
incorporated unchanged into
AASB 9.


31 December
2013
AASB 9 amends the
classification and
measurement of financial
assets; the effect on the
entity will be that more
assets are held at fair
value and the need for
impairment testing has
been limited to assets
held at amortised cost
only.
Minimal changes have
been made in relation to
the classification and
measurement of financial
liabilities, except ‘own
credit risk’ instruments.
The effect on the entity
will be that the volatility in
the profit or loss will be
moved to the OCI, unless
there is an accounting
mismatch.




AASB 2009-11
AASB 2010-7
Depending on
assets held, there
may be significant
movement of
assets between fair
value and cost
categories and
ceasing of
impairment testing
on available for
sale assets.
If the entity holds
any ‘own credit risk’
financial liabilities,
the fair value gain
or loss will be
incorporated in the
OCI, rather than
profit or loss,
unless accounting
mismatch.

Application of
Tiers of
Australian
Accounting
Standards
None This Standard establishes a
differential financial reporting
framework consisting of two
Tiers of reporting requirements
for preparing general purpose
financial statements:
a)
Tier 1: Australian
Accounting
Standards; and
b)
Tier 2: Australian
Accounting
Standards -
Reduced
Disclosure
Requirements.
Tier 2 comprises the
recognition, measurement and
presentation requirements of
Tier 1 and substantially
reduced disclosures
corresponding to those
requirements.
The following entities apply
Tier 1 requirements in
preparing general purpose
financial statements:
a)
for-profit
entities in the
private sector
that have
public
accountability
(as defined in
this Standard);
and
b)
the Australian
Government
and State,
Territory and
Local
Governments.
The following entities apply
either Tier 2 or Tier 1
requirements in preparing
general purpose financial
statements:
a)
for-profit private
sector entities that do
not have public
accountability;
b)
all not-for-profit
private sector
entities; and
c)
public sector entities
other than the
Australian
Government and
State, Territory and
Local Governments.

30 June 2014
This depends on the
classification of the
entity as a Tier 1 or 2.
For Tier 1 entities or
Tier 2 that prepare
special purpose
financial reports, there
will be no impact on
the financial
statements as the
reduced disclosure will
not be available to
apply.
Tier 2 entities that
prepare general
purpose financial
reports will be able to
apply the reduced
disclosures within the
financial instruments,
related parties,
accounting policies,
borrowing costs, and

None
The requirements for

financial liabilities were added
to AASB 9. The existing
requirements for the
classification of financial
liabilities and the ability to use
the fair value option have been
retained. However, where the
fair value option is used for
financial liabilities the change
in fair
value is accounted for as
follows:
►The change attributable to
changes in credit risk are
presented in other
comprehensive income
(OCI)
►The remaining change is
presented in profit or loss
If this approach creates or
enlarges an accounting
mismatch in the profit or loss,
the effect of the changes in
credit risk are also
presented in profit or loss.

Amendments to

Standards –
Deferred Tax:

Assets
[AASB 112]

None
These amendments address
the determination of deferred
tax on investment property
measured at fair value and
introduce a
rebuttable presumption that
deferred tax on investment
property measured at fair value
should be determined on the
basis that
the carrying amount will be
recoverable through sale. The
amendments also incorporate
SIC-21 Income Taxes –
Recovery of Revalued Non-
Depreciable Assets into AASB
112.

31 December
2012
The amendments brought
in by this Standard
introduce a more
practical approach for
measuring deferred tax
liabilities and deferred tax
assets when investment
property is measured
using the fair value model
under AASB 140:
Investment Property.
Under the current AASB
112, the measurement of
deferred tax liabilities and
deferred tax assets
depends on whether an
entity expects to recover
an asset by using it or by
selling it. The
amendments introduce a
presumption that an
investment property is
recovered entirely
through sale. This
presumption is rebutted if
the investment property is
held within a business
model whose objective is
to consume substantially
all of the economic
benefits embodied in the
investment property over
time, rather than through
sale.

Consolidated
Financial
Statements
IAS 27 IFRS 10 establishes a new
control model that applies to all
entities.It replaces parts of IAS
27_Consolidated and Separate_
Financial Statements_dealing
with the accounting for
consolidated financial
statements and SIC-12
_Consolidation – Special

Purpose Entities.
The new control model
broadens the situations when
an entity is considered to be
controlled by another entity
and includes new guidance for
applying the model to specific
situations, including when
acting as a manager may give
control, the impact of potential
voting rights and when holding
less than a majority voting
rights may give control. This is
likely to lead to more entities
being consolidated into the
group.


31 December
2013
It introduces a new,
principle-based definition
of control which will apply
to all investees to
determine the scope of
consolidation.
Traditional control
assessments based on
majority ownership of
voting rights will very
rarely be affected.
However, 'borderline'
consolidation decisions
will need to be reviewed
and some will need to be
changed taking into
consideration potential
voting rights and
substantive rights.

IFRS 11
IFRS 12
IAS 27
IAS 28

Entities most likely

- hold potential
voting rights over
investments, such
as options or
convertible debt.

IAS 27
IAS 28
IAS 31
IFRS 12 includes all
disclosures relating to an
entity’s interests in
subsidiaries, joint
arrangements, associates and
structures
entities. New disclosures have
been introduced about the
judgements made by
management to determine
whether control
exists, and to require
summarised information about
joint arrangements, associates
and structured entities and
subsidiaries with non-
controlling interests.
31 December
2013
IFRS 12 combines the
disclosure requirements
for subsidiaries, joint
arrangements, associates
and structured entities
within a comprehensive
disclosure standard.
It aims to provide more
transparency on
'borderline' consolidation
decisions and enhance
disclosures about
unconsolidated structured
entities in which an
investor or sponsor has
involvement.


None
There are some
additional
enhanced
disclosures centred
around significant
judgements and
assumptions made
around determining
control, joint control
and significant
influence.
Fair Value
Measurement
1
None IFRS 13 establishes a single
source of guidance under IFRS
for determining the fair value of
assets and liabilities. IFRS 13
does
not change when an entity is
required to use fair value, but
rather, provides guidance on
how to determine fair value
under IFRS when fair value is
required or permitted by IFRS.
Application of this definition
may result in different fair
values being determined for
the relevant assets.
IFRS 13 also expands the
disclosure requirements for all
assets or liabilities carried at
fair value. This includes
information about
the assumptions made and the
qualitative impact of those
assumptions on the fair value
determined.


31 December
2013
IFRS 13 has been
created to:

establish a single
source of guidance
for all fair value
measurements;

clarify the definition
of fair value and
related guidance;
and

enhance
disclosures about
fair value
measurements
(new disclosures
increase
transparency about
fair value
measurements,
including the
valuation
techniques and
inputs used to
measure fair
value).



None
For financial
assets, IFRS 13's
guidance is broadly
consistent with
existing practice. It
will however also
apply to the
measurement of
fair value for non-
financial assets and
will make a
significant change
to existing
guidance in the
applicable
standards.

The Group does not anticipate early adoption of the above reporting requirements and does not expect these requirements to have any material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 33

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(e) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Sabre Resources Limited and its subsidiaries ('the Group').

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

Where there is loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting period during which Sabre Resources Limited has control.

Minority interests in the net assets (excluding goodwill) of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately for the Group’s equity therein. Minority interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make additional investments to cover the losses.

(f) Interest in joint venture operation

The Group’s interest in any joint venture operation is accounted for by recognising the Group's assets and liabilities from the joint venture, as well as expenses incurred by the Group and the Group's share of income earned from the joint venture, in the consolidated financial statements.

(g) Foreign currency translation

The functional and presentation currency of Sabre Resources Ltd and Link National Pty Ltd is Australian Dollars (A$), and the functional and presentation of Sabre Resources Namibia (Pty) Ltd is Namibian Dollars (N$).

Cash remittances from the parent entity to the Namibian subsidiary are converted by the remitting bank into Rand and then converted to Namibian dollars using the same rate of exchange. That is, once the A$ is translated to Rand by the bank, which then converts it to the same balance in Namibian dollars. As such, foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency at the date of the transaction using the Rand. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in the foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange at the reporting date.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

All differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to the statement of comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of any overseas subsidiaries would be translated into the

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

presentation currency of Sabre Resources Ltd at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date and the statement of comprehensive income are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period.

The exchange differences arising on the retranslation are taken directly to a separate component of equity.

On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

(h) Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Plant and equipment - over 3 to 5 years Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognised.

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is not amortised.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

As at the acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the combination’s synergies.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 35

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation.

Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

(j) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(k) Investments and other financial assets

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e. that date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or conversion in the market place.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss”. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term with the intention of making a profit. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held-to maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 36

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

(iii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables, including loan notes and loans to key management personnel are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payment that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

(iv) Available-for-sale-investments

Available-for-sale-investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition, available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate economic component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

The fair values of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets are determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. For investments with no active market, fair values are determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include: using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models making as much use of available and supportable market data as possible and keeping judgemental inputs to a minimum .

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Group 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.

(l) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable through the successful development, or sale, 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.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year 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

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 37

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on a discounted 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 year of abandoning the site.

(m) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.

(n) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(o) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

(p) Share-based payment transactions

(i) Equity settled transactions:

In the year under review, the Group did not provide benefits to management personnel and consultants of the Group in the form of share-based payments whereby personnel render services in exchange for shares, although this type of benefit was provided in previous years.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with management personnel and consultants was measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they were granted. The fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes formula.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account was taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Sabre Resources Ltd (market conditions). The cost of equity-settled transactions was recognised, together with the corresponding increase in equity, on the date of grant of the options.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 38

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

(ii) Cash settled transactions:

The Group does not provide benefits to employees in the form of cash-settled share based payments.

Any cash-settled transactions would be measured initially at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. This fair value is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

(q) Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.

Interest

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Dividends

Revenue is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive the payment is established.

(r) Income tax

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:

  • except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised:

  • except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 39

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and,

  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income.

(s) Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(t) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

(u) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(v) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members of the parent, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 40

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(w) Comparatives

Comparatives are reclassified where necessary to be consistent with the current year’s disclosures.

(x) Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities, the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. After considering the minimum exploration expenditure and corporate overheads required for the next twelve months, the directors believe the Group currently has sufficient cash flow resources available to continue as a going concern.

3. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

In applying the Group’s accounting policies, management continually evaluates judgments, estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on the Group. All judgments, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to management. Actual results may differ from the judgments, estimates and assumptions. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below:

  • (i) Significant accounting judgments include:

  • (a) Provision for investments in and loans to subsidiaries

Investments in, and loans to, subsidiaries are fully provided for until such time as subsidiaries are in a position to repay loans.

  • (b) Exploration expenditure

The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded. Such capitalised expenditure is carried at the end of the reporting period at $12,961,146.

  • (ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions include:

  • (a) Share-based payment transactions

The Group measured the cost of equity-settled transactions with management personnel and consultants in previous years by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they were granted. The fair value was determined using the BlackScholes model, with the assumptions detailed in note 7. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

The Group measured the cost of cash settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions under which the instruments were granted

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(b) Estimation of useful lives of assets

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturers’ warranties (for plant and equipment) and turnover policies (for motor vehicles). In addition, the condition of assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful life are made when considered necessary. Depreciation calculations are included in note 10.

The Company’s capital consists of Ordinary Shares. The Company does not have a limited amount of authorised share capital. The Shares have no par value and are entitled to participate in dividends and the proceeds on any winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of Shares held.

At shareholders’ meetings each fully paid ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

Capital Management

Management controls the capital of the group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio and to ensure that the group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital, supported by financial assets.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the group’s capital by assessing the group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the group since the prior year.

  • (b) 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 of those assets, net of any provision for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial report.

The consolidated entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity.

(c) Net Fair Values

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements represent their respective net fair values determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(d) Financial Risk Management

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with recognised banks, investments in bank bills up to 90 days, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and loans to subsidiaries. Liquidity is managed, when sufficient funds are available, by holding sufficient funds in a current account to service current obligations and surplus funds invested in bank bills. The Directors analyse interest rate exposure and evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. The main risks the Group is exposed to, through its financial instruments, are the depository banking institution itself, holding the funds, and interest rates. The Group’s active exposure to foreign currency is confined to services procured through the Namibian subsidiary. The Group’s credit risk is minimal as being an exploration company, no goods are sold, or services provided, for which consideration is claimed.

(e) Sensitivity Analysis

Interest Rate Risk, Foreign Currency Risk and Price Risk

The group has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk at balance date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

At 30 June 2010, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows:

Consolidated Consolidated
2011 2010
$000 $000
Change in profit
- Increase in interest rate by 2% 35 39
- Decrease in interest rate by 2% (35) (39)
Change in Equity
- Increase in interest rate by 2% 35 39
- Decrease in interest rate by 2% (35) (39)

(f) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages the risk through the following mechanisms:

  • preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;

  • maintaining a reputable credit profile;

  • managing credit risk related to financial assets;

  • only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 50

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

  • (g) Price risk

Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices largely due to demand and supply factors for commodities.

The Group is also exposed to securities price risk on investments held for trading or for medium to longer terms. Such risk is managed through diversification of investments across industries and geographical locations.

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 or 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).

Additional information about the Company's corporate governance practices is set out on the Company's website at www.sabresources.com :

– Principle 1 Lay solid foundations for management and oversight Responsibilities of the Board

The Board is responsible for the following matters:

ensuring the Company’s conduct and activities are ethical and carried out for the benefit of all its stakeholders;

development of corporate strategy, implementation of business plans and performance objectives;

reviewing, ratifying and monitoring systems of risk management, codes of conduct, internal control system and legal and regulatory compliance;

the appointment of the Company’s Corporate Manager, Chief Financial Officer, Company Secretary and other senior executives;

monitoring senior executives’ performance and implementation of strategy; determining appropriate remuneration policies;

allocating resources and ensuring appropriate resources are available to management;

approving and monitoring the annual budget, progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, and acquisitions and divestitures; and

approving and monitoring financial and other reporting.

Chairman

The Chairman is responsible for leadership of the Board and for the efficient organisation and conduct of the Board’s business. The Chairman should facilitate the effective contribution of all directors and promote constructive and respectful relations between directors and between the Board and management of the Company. The Chairman is responsible for briefing directors on issues arising at Board meetings and ultimately is responsible for communications with shareholders and arranging Board performance evaluation.

Corporate Manager

The Corporate Manager, appointed by a contractual arrangement with the Company, is responsible for running the affairs of the Company under the supervision and direction of the Board. In carrying out its responsibilities the Corporate Manager must report to the Board in a timely manner and ensure all reports to the Board present a true and fair view of the Company’s financial condition and operational results.

Company Secretary

The Company Secretary is responsible for monitoring the extent that Board policy and procedures are followed, and coordinating the timely completion and despatch of Board agendas and briefing material. All directors are to have access to the Company Secretary.

Performance evaluation

The Chairman and/or the Corporate Manager are responsible for reviewing the performance of each executive at least once every calendar year with reference to the terms of their employment contract.

Corporate Governance Page No 59

Reporting

The Company, will, in the corporate governance statement section of its Annual Report, include the recommended information set out in ASX Corporate Governance Principles in relation to the Guide to reporting on Principle 1.

Principle 2 - Structure the Board to add value Composition of the Board

The Company will ensure that the Board will be of a size and composition that is conducive to making appropriate decisions and be large enough to incorporate a variety of perspectives and skills, and to represent the best interests of the Company as a whole rather than of individual shareholders or interest groups. It will not, however, be so large that effective decision-making is hindered.

Independent directors

The Company will regularly review whether each non-executive director is independent and each non-executive director should provide to the Board all information that may be relevant to this assessment. If a director’s independence status changes this should be disclosed and explained to the market in a timely fashion.

The Company will endeavour to ensure that it has a majority of independent directors at all times, subject to the right of shareholders in general meeting to elect and remove directors.

Chairman

While the Chairman should be a non-executive director who is independent and who should not also be the chief executive officer of the Company, the Company has not formally appointed a Chairman, preferring to rely upon Mr Zukerman as its Executive Director to fulfil this role. Mr Zukerman does not satisfy the Independence Criteria. The Board believes that Mr Zukerman is the most appropriate person for the position of Chairman because of his extensive experience.

Although the Board recognises the importance of the need for the division of responsibilities between the Chairman and the Managing Director, the existing structure, whereby Mr Zukerman carries out the duties of both roles, is considered appropriate to the Company’s present circumstances. It provides a unified structure, which the Board believes is important given the Company’s present stage of corporate development. Mr Zukerman has been a significant force in the current direction of the Company, and has provided strong and effective leadership to the Board.

The Chairman’s other positions should not be such that they are likely to hinder the effective performance of their role of Chairman of the Company.

Independent decision- making

All directors - whether independent or not - should bring an independent judgement to bear on Board decisions. Non-executive directors are encouraged to confer regularly without management present. Their discussions are to be facilitated by the Chairman, if he is independent or the deputy Chairman. Non-executive directors should inform the Chairman before accepting any new appointments as directors.

Independent advice

To facilitate independent decision making, the Board and any committees it convenes from time to time may seek advice from independent experts whenever it is considered appropriate. With the consent of the Chairman, individual directors may seek independent professional advice, at the expense of the Company, on any matter connected with the discharge of their responsibilities.

Procedure for selection of new directors

The Company believes it is not of a size to justify having a Nomination Committee. If any vacancies arise on the Board, all directors are involved in the search for, and recruitment of a replacement. The Board believes corporate performance is enhanced when the Board has an appropriate mix of skills and experience.

Corporate Governance Page No 60

In support of their candidature for directorship or re-election, non-executive directors should provide the Board with details of other commitments and an indication of time available for the Company. Prior to appointment or being submitted for re-election non-executive directors should specifically acknowledge to the Company that they will have sufficient time to meet what is expected of them as a non-executive director. Re-appointment of directors is not automatic.

Induction and education

The Board will implement an induction program to enable new directors to gain an understanding of:

the Company’s financial, strategic, operational and risk management position;

the rights, duties and responsibilities of the directors;

the roles and responsibilities of senior executives; and

the role of any Board committees in operation.

Directors will have reasonable access to technical seminars or equivalent to update and enhance their skills and knowledge, including education concerning key developments in the Company and in the industries in which the Company’s business is involved.

Access to information

The Board has the right to obtain all information from within the Company which it needs to effectively discharge its responsibilities.

Senior executives are required on request from the Board to supply the Board with information in a form and timeframe, and of a quality that enables the Board to discharge its duties effectively. Directors are entitled to request additional information where they consider such information necessary to make informed decisions.

Reporting

The Company will, in the corporate governance statement section of its Annual Report, include the recommended information set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles in relation to the Guide to reporting on Principle 2.

- Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making code of conduct

The Board has adopted the Code of Conduct set out at Appendix A to promote ethical and responsible decision making by directors, management and employees. The Code embraces the values of honesty, integrity, enterprise, excellence, accountability, justice, independence and equality of stakeholder opportunity.

The Board is responsible for ensuring that training on the Code of Conduct is provided to staff and officers of the Company.

The Board is responsible for making advisers, consultants and contractors aware of the Company’s expectations set out in the Code of Conduct.

Policy for trading in Company securities

The Board has adopted a policy on trading in the Company’s securities by directors, senior executives and employees set out in Appendix B.

The Board is responsible for ensuring that the policy is brought to the attention of all affected persons and for monitoring compliance with the policy.

Corporate Governance Page No 61

Reporting

The Company, will, in the corporate governance statement section of its Annual Report, include the recommended information set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles in relation to the Guide to reporting on Principle 3.

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

Audit and Risk Management

The Company believes it is not of a size to justify having a separate Audit and Risk Management Committee. Ultimate responsibility for the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting rests with the full Board. Given the small size of the Board, the directors believe an Audit Committee structure to be inefficient. All directors share responsibility for ensuring the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting and appropriate Board processes must be implemented to perform the following audit and risk management functions:

(1) external audit function:

  • (a) review the overall conduct of the external audit process including the independence of all parties to the process;

  • (b) review the performance of the external auditors;

  • (c) consider the reappointment and proposed fees of the external auditor; and

  • (d) where appropriate seek tenders for the audit and where a change of external auditor is recommended arrange submission to shareholders for shareholder approval;

  • (2) reviewing the quality and accuracy of published financial reports;

  • (3) reviewing the accounting function and ongoing application of appropriate accounting and business policies and procedures;

  • (4) reviewing and imposing variations to the risk management and internal control policies designed and implemented by Company management; and

  • (5) any other matters relevant to audit and risk management processes.

Reporting

The Company, will, in the corporate governance statement section of its Annual Report, include the recommended information set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles in relation to the Guide to reporting on Principle 4.

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure Disclosure Policy

The Board has adopted a Disclosure Policy for ensuring timely and accurate disclosure of price-sensitive information to shareholders through the ASX set out in Appendix C.

The Disclosure Policy ensures that:

all investors have equal and timely access to material information concerning the Company including its financial position, performance, ownership and governance; and Company announcements are subjected to a vetting and authorisation process designed to ensure they:

  • (a) are released in a timely manner;

  • (b) are factual;

  • (c) do not omit material information; and

  • (d) are expressed in a clear and objective manner that allows investors to assess the impact of the information when making investment decisions.

Corporate Governance Page No 62

Reporting

The Company will, in the corporate governance statement section of its Annual Report, include the recommended information set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles in relation to the Guide to reporting on Principle 5.

Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders Communication with Shareholders

The Board is committed to open and accessible communication with holders of the Company’s shares and other securities. Disclosure of information and other communication will be made as appropriate by mail or email.

The Company’s website will also be used to provide additional relevant information to security holders. The Board considers the following to be appropriate features for the Company’s website:

  • (a) placing the full text of notices of meeting and explanatory material on the website;

  • (b) providing information about the last two years’ press releases or announcements plus at least three years of financial data on the website.

General Meetings

The Company is committed to improving shareholder participation in general meetings. In order to achieve that objective, the Company has adopted guidelines of the ASX Corporate Governance Council for improving shareholder participation through the design and content of notices and through the conduct of the meeting itself.

Reporting

The Company will, in the corporate governance statement section of its Annual Report, include the recommended information set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles in relation to the Guide to reporting on Principle 6.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

Creation and implementation of Company risk management policies

It is the responsibility of the Corporate Manager to create, maintain and implement risk management and internal control policies for the Company, subject to review by the Board.

The Corporate Manager must report to the Board annually regarding the design, implementation and progress of the risk management policies and internal control systems.

Audit and Risk Management

As referenced with respect to Principle 4, the Board has not established an Audit and Risk Management Committee for the reasons given above.

Review by the Board

The Board will review the effectiveness of implementation of the risk management system and internal control system at least annually.

When reviewing risk management policies and internal control system the Board should take into account the Company’s legal obligations and should also consider the reasonable expectations of the Company’s stakeholders, including security holders, employees, customers, suppliers, creditors, consumers and the community.

Corporate Manager

The Corporate Manager is required annually to state in writing to the Board that the Company has a sound system of risk management, that internal compliance and control systems are in place to

Corporate Governance Page No 63

ensure the implementation of Board policies, and that those systems are operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.

Verification of financial reports

The chief executive officer and the Chief Financial Officer are required by the Company to state the following in writing prior to the Board making a solvency declaration pursuant to section 295(4) of the Corporations Act:

  • (a) that the Company’s financial reports contain a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial condition and operating performance of the Company and comply with relevant accounting standards; and

  • (b) that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

Reporting

The Company will, in the corporate governance statement section of its Annual Report, include the recommended information set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles in relation to the Guide to reporting on Principle 7.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly

Director and senior executive remuneration policies

The Company’s remuneration policy is structured for the purpose of:

  • (a) motivating senior executives to pursue the long-term growth and success of the Company; and

  • (b) demonstrating a clear relationship between senior executives’ performance and remuneration.

The Board’s responsibility is to set the level and structure of remuneration for officers (including but not limited to directors and secretaries) and executives, for the purpose of balancing the Company’s competing interests of:

  • (a) attracting and retaining senior executives and directors; and

  • (b) not paying excessive remuneration.

Executive directors’ remuneration should be structured to reflect short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Company’s circumstances and goals.

Executive directors’ and senior executives’ remuneration packages should involve a balance between fixed and incentive-based pay, reflecting short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Company’s circumstances and goals.

Non-executive directors’ remuneration should be formulated with regard to the following guidelines:

  • (a) non-executive directors should normally be remunerated by way of fees, in the form of cash, non-cash benefits, superannuation contributions or equity, usually without participating in schemes designed for the remuneration of executives;

  • (b) non-executive directors should not be provided with retirement benefits other than superannuation.

No director may be involved in setting their own remuneration or terms and conditions and in such a case relevant directors are required to be absent from the full Board discussion.

Corporate Governance Page No 64

Remuneration Committee

The Company believes it is not of a size to justify having a Remuneration Committee and that it has Board processes in place which raise the issues which would otherwise be considered by a committee.

Reporting

The Company, will, in the corporate governance statement section of its Annual Report, include the recommended information set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles in relation to the Guide to reporting on Principle 8
