GEOLOGICAL SET T ING

The Otavi Mountain L and (‘OML’) is part o f the Dam a ran Mobile Belt (Figur e 3), one o f the mos t economically important regions for b ase metal m ineralisati o n globally. A significant proportion of the world’ s copper is s ourced fro m the Centr a l African Copper Belt, which is subdivided in t o the Zam b ian and th e Katangan ( D RC) Copp e r Belts. With giant dep o sits such a s Kamoa an d Tenke-Fu n gurume an d large high - grade dep o sits like Kip u shi, the Ce n tral African Copper Belt is a major source of r e venue for b o th the DR C and Zambi a .

On the nor t hern side o f the Damaran Mobile B elt, the Central African Copper B e lt is separa t ed from th e Namib Co p per Belt (h o me to the O tavi Mount a in Land) b y the overly i ng sedime n ts of the m u ch younge r Kavango B a sin and m o re recent K a lahari sands. The Namib Copper belt extends f rom the Ot a vi Mountai n Land in th e east in a n arcuate s h ape to the Angolan b o rder in the north. It i s presently t he focus o f exploration for Sabre R esources i n the highly prospectiv e eastern p a rts, and for many othe r companie s along its le n gth.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Results fro m drilling in t he northern parts of th e deposit de m onstrated the continuit y of the Gu c hab Canyo n deposit thr o ugh to the H igh Valley a rea. A distinct narrowin g of the mineralisation is e vident mid w ay betwee n these area s (around G C DD0041/4 2 ). This geo m etry is in k eeping with the lensoid a l style of m ineralisatio n common at the Kombat copper min e and suspe c ted at other deposits al o ng the Kom b at Trend.

Some very good grade s and thickn e sses of cop p er minerali s ation were intercepted, m ostly from t he souther n deeper par t s of the de p osit. Here s ome of the highest gra d es drilled at Guchab C a nyon were intercepted . Drilling in t h is area wa s slow, in pa r t because o f a strong a n d prolonge d wet seaso n and due t o the rugge d nature of t he topogra p hy. Drillin g defined t h e deposit’s margins a n d extensio n s with fa u lting largel y responsible for truncati o n and/or o f fset of the d eposit in s e veral area s , particularl y to the ea s t and to th e southwest.

Several drillholes were designed t o test contin u ity of the m ineralisatio n in the sou t hwest extre m ities of th e deposit wh e re faulting seems to h ave offset m ineralisation (Figure 6 ) . Uncertain t ies on the amount an d absolute di r ection of m o vement on the fault has made identi f ication of th e location of the mineralisation to th e immediate south of th e fault difficult. Sabre h as been a b le to identi f y a number of near-s u rface targe t locations t h at are likely to be exte n sions to th e Guchab C a nyon depo s it and are co nsidered m ore likely t o result in pr o mpt minera l isation hits. Reconnaiss a nce drilling is expected to commen c e on these target area s shortly (Se e Figure 7).

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Schlangental copper-silver prospect

The Schlangental prospect is part of the Guchab Mining Centre and is located to the west of the Guchab Canyon deposit. The prospect consists of a series of shallow open-pits that were mined for high-grade (>5%) copper ores in the early 20[th] century, around the same time as mining first commenced at Kombat & Guchab.

Sabre has undertaken an extensive program of exploration across the Schlangental area that has included channel sampling and widespread shallow RC drilling in the 2012-2013 year, as well as focused RC & diamond drilling during the reporting period.

In contrast to the Guchab Canyon area, mineralisation at Schlangental is blind, being located beneath sand cover within a low-lying valley. Several targets generated by the program remain either untested or are insufficiently tested.

A short program of RC drilling was completed below the old workings at Schlangental, as well as on targets generated by the initial shallow drilling program (which was undertaken in 2012-2013). This year, a total of 8 RC holes were completed with better intercepts including:

SCRC0035 16.00 metres @ 0.88% Copper & 9.47 g/t Silver from 25.00 metres including 3.00 metres @ 4.24% Copper & 11.63 g/t Silver from 28.00 metres SCRC0042 8.00 metres @ 4.57% Copper & 55.88 g/t Silver from 50.00 metres including 2.00 metres @ 16.14% Copper & 195.25 g/t Silver from 52.00 metres Deeper diamond drilling at Schlangental has confirmed significant mineralisation in the prospect area. Follow up diamond drilling provided additional geological information with the best result from SCDD001:

SCDD0001 9.40 metres @ 1.03% Copper & 4.55 g/t Silver from 21.60 metres

Iron Hat (Eisernenhut) copper-silver prospect

Reconnaissance drilling at the Iron Hat (Eisernenhut), which is also a part of the Guchab Mining Centre, comprised five diamond drill holes. Two of these failed to hit target depths due to poor ground conditions.

The Iron Hat is a copper-rich gossan located on a prominent ridgeline around 550 m east of the Guchab Canyon deposit. In outcrop, the gossan is ovoid in shape and measures approximately 100m by 50m. Initial drilling has intercepted several limited zones of mineralisation, including:

IHDD0004 2.74 metres @ 3.05% Copper and 52.9 g/t Silver from 0 m IHDD0005 2.26 metres @ 4.85% Copper and 171.2 g/t Silver from 89.44m

Copper distributions in the subsurface do not match those observed in outcrop. Analysis suggests that these mineralized zones represent feeders from an underlying copper sulphide body to the outcropping gossan.

Regional exploration

Sabre continues to explore the Otavi Mountain Land with a focus on copper and zinc. Regional field programs were undertaken throughout the licence areas. These programs are an ongoing part of the Company’s assessment of the region, which continues to focus on the Kombat East area between the Kombat Mine and the historic Guchab Mining Centre for copper and the Pavian Trend for zinc.

Outside of the Guchab Mining Centre, the areas investigated by on-ground programs include the eastern Otavi Valley between Kombat and Guchab, the Kombat North area on the northern boundary of the Kombat mining lease (owned by Kombat Copper Ltd) and the Gauss-Wolkenhauben area, a copper-bearing area around 10 kilometres north of Kombat (Figure 2).

Review of Operations

Page No. 10

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The data collected in each of these areas is used in regional assessment of the Otavi Mountain Land, particularly in the ongoing regional assessment of the region’s mineral endowment.

Targeting the mineral endowment of the OML

In parallel with the Guchab drilling and the ongoing regional investigations, Sabre has taken a fresh view of the region as part of its ongoing assessment of mineralisation in the Otavi Mountain Land (OML). The OML is a terrane that the Company considers highly likely to host significantly more copper, zinc, lead and silver deposits than have been discovered and mined to date.

Recent in-depth geological analysis by the Company suggests that the Otavi Mountain Land has the potential to host several Kombat-sized (~10Mt @ 3-4% Cu) deposits and several Tsumeb-sized (~25Mt @ 5- 6% Cu) deposits. These hypothetical deposits, if they exist, are most likely to be hidden beneath soil cover or in areas of poor exposure which, surprisingly, covers over 70% of the region (hills and mountains are relatively restricted). Historically, almost none of the soil-covered areas have been explored, with all of the 700-800 mineral occurrences, prospects, deposits, and mines of the region located in outcropping areas. The number of occurrences in outcrop, combined with the significant area of Sabre’s ground under cover presents a significant opportunity for discovery for the Company.

Sabre is interpreting all available data, including geophysical, geochemical, hyperspectral and other data sets, to identify particular areas that require greater exploration focus. This will lead to on-ground assessment of particular sites to determine appropriate exploration techniques, followed by rapid cycling of high-level testing of sites (such as test auger or RC drilling, follow-up detailed geophysics etc.) to determine suitability for more concentrated exploration. This methodology will allow for quick determination of the potential for numerous sites throughout the region, quick rejection of less-prospective targets, and focusing on the most prospective areas.

LICENCING

During the year, a requisite 25% licence reduction was made to EPL3542. The areas dropped were considered to be of relatively low prospectivity based on regional programs undertaken by the Company in these areas.

Sabre has also applied for four new EPLs in the Otavi Mountain Land region. On the successful granting of the applications, the Company will provide details of the areas and their prospectivity, and of the historical work carried out within these areas. Workplans for each area will also be proscribed. At the time of writing, all four applications had been accepted by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (Namibia) and were progressing through the granting process.

EXPLORATION PROGRAM 2014-15

The exploration program for 2014-15 will continue to focus on copper in the Kombat East area and zinc along the Pavian Trend. Sabre’s priorities include:

  • Maiden resource at the Guchab Canyon copper-silver deposit.

  • JORC 2012 resource upgrade for Border, with investigation of further work at the zinc-lead-silver deposit, particularly drill testing the Toggenberg plains zinc-lead anomaly.

  • Drill testing of Guchab extension targets at Guchab South and Schlangenflach.

  • Drill testing of various copper targets in and around the Otavi Valley.

  • Investigation of various zinc targets throughout the region.

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 2014.

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. During the year the Company did not engage remuneration consultants to review its existing remuneration policies.

At the last AGM shareholders voted to adopt the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2013. The Company did not receive specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

AASB 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are:

Notes to the Financial Statements

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(a) Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.

(i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 and AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) (effective from 1 January 2013) (continued)

(b) Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income (instead of in profit or loss). Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument.

(c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases.

(d) Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows: the change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) and 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.

Otherwise, the following requirements have generally been carried forward unchanged from AASB 139 into AASB 9: Classification and measurement of financial liabilities; and Derecognition requirements for financial assets and liabilities.

AASB 9 requirements regarding hedge accounting represent a substantial overhaul of hedge accounting that will enable entities to better reflect their risk management activities in the financial statements.

Consequential amendments arising from AASB 9 are contained in AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010), AASB 2010-10 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters, AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures, AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments and AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards.

Effective date on annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

( ii) Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations (Amendments to IFRS 11).

The amendments to IFRS 11 state that an acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a ‘business’, as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations, should: apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting in IFRS 3 and other IFRSs except principles that conflict with the guidance of IFRS 11. This requirement also applies to the acquisition of additional interests in an existing joint operation that results in the acquirer retaining joint control of the joint operation (note that this requirement applies to the additional interest only, i.e. the existing interest is not remeasured) and to the formation of a joint operation when an existing business is contributed to the joint operation by one of the parties that participate in the joint operation; and provide disclosures for business combinations as required by IFRS 3 and other IFRSs.

The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) is expected to issue the equivalent Australian amendment shortly.

Effective date on annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

(e) Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2014. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June.

All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intragroup asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.

Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.

The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree’s financial statements prior to the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquire, and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to exert significant influence but which are not subsidiaries.

(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, Link National Pty Ltd and Starloop Holdings Pty Ltd is Australian Dollars (A$), and the functional and presentation of Sabre Resources Namibia (Pty) Ltd and Gazania Investments Nine (Pty) Ltd is Namibian Dollars (N$).

Cash remittances from the parent entity to the Namibian subsidiaries are sent in Australian Dollars. 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 Profit or Loss and Other 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 presentation currency of Sabre Resources Ltd at the rate of exchange ruling at the Statement of Financial Position date and the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 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 Profit or Loss and Other 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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period the item is derecognised.

Notes to the Financial Statements

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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 and 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.

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.

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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 the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

(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 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 the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income 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 the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

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.

Page No. 28

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 Profit or Loss and Other 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 or loss 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 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

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 profit or loss 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.

In the previous year, the cost of 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.

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 the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

(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:

(i) 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 30

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(ii) 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.

(iii) 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 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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Income tax benefits are comprised of research and development claims against eligible expenditure.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 31

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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

  • 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

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of going concern, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. During the period, the Group has reported a net loss of $1,107,069 and a net cash outflow from operating activities of $992,556 and from investing activities of $2,209,202.

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Directors will continue to monitor the capital requirements of the Group, and this may include additional capital raisings in future periods as required.

The Directors recognise that the above represents a material uncertainty as to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, however, they are confident that the Group will be able to continue its operations into the foreseeable future.

Should the Group be unable to obtain the funding as described above, there is a material uncertainty as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, and therefore, whether it will be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Group be unable 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 $24,164,267 as per Note 11.

  • (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. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled sharebased 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

  • (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.

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 suitable 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 41

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

(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 2014, 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
2014 2013
$000 $000
Change in profit:
- Increase in interest rate by 2% 62 122
- Decrease in interest rate by 2% (62) (122)
Change in Equity
- Increase in interest rate by 2% 62 122
- Decrease in interest rate by 2% (62) (122)

(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:

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 42

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  • 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.

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).

Although the Namibian subsidiaries have non-controlling interests, the financial effect of these interests have not been brought to account in the consolidated financial report as accumulated losses attributable to noncontrolling interests exceed their relevant proportion of equity.

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Sabre Resources Ltd (the “Company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors’ responsibility also includes such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Directors also state, in the notes to the financial report, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require us to comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence

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

Auditor’s opinion

In our opinion:

  • a the financial report of Sabre Resources Ltd is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • i giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • ii complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and

  • b the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

Emphasis of matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(x) to the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,107,069 and also incurred cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $3,201,758 during the year ended 30 June 2014. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2 (x), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Auditor’s opinion on the remuneration report

In our opinion, the remuneration report of Sabre Resources Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2014, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

INTRODUCTION

Sabre Resources Ltd ACN 003 043 570 ("the Company") has adopted systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. Some of these policies and procedures are summarised below.

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 Executive Officer (or equivalent), 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.

Diversity

The Company recognises and respects the value of diversity at all levels of the organisation.

Due to the size and scale of the Company’s activities, most managerial and geological services are provided by the Corporate Manager and the Company has only two direct employees, one of whom is a woman.

When the level of activity permits, the Directors will ensure that women are fairly considered and the Company’s aim will be to promote a culture which embraces diversity through ongoing education, succession planning, director and employee selection and recognising that skills are not gender specific.

As at the date of this report, the Company has no women appointed to the Board, to senior management, and one to the organisation as a whole.

Corporate Governance

Page No . 52

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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 is ultimately responsible for communications with shareholders and arranging Board performance evaluation.

Corporate Manager

The Corporate Manager is responsible for running the affairs of the Company under authority delegated from 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.

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 .

Corporate Governance

Page No . 53

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

Chairman

The Chairman should be a non-executive director who is independent. The Chairman should not be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Chairman’s other positions should not be such that they are likely to hinder the effective performance of his role of Chairman of the Company.

Independent decision- making

All directors - whether independent or not - should bring an independent judgment 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, if he is not independent, 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 will be involved in the search and recruitment of a replacement. The Board believes corporate performance is enhanced when it has an appropriate mix of skills and experienced.

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 nonexecutive directors should specifically acknowledge to the Company that they will have sufficient time to meet what is expected of them. Re-appointment of directors is not automatic.

Induction and education

The Board will implement an induction programme 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.

Corporate Governance

Page No . 54

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Directors will have reasonable access to continuing education 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.

- 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.

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:

  • external audit function:

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

  • review the performance of the external auditors;

Corporate Governance

Page No . 55

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

  • consider the reappointment and proposed fees of the external auditor; and

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

  • reviewing the quality and accuracy of published financial reports;

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

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

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

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:

  • are released in a timely manner;

  • are factual;

  • do not omit material information; and

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

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 telephone, 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:

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

  • providing information about the last three years’ press releases or

Corporate Governance

Page No . 56

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

announcements plus at least three years of financial data on the website; and

  • providing information updates to security holders on request by email.

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.

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

Verification of financial reports

The Corporate Manager and 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:

  • 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

  • that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the

Corporate Governance

Page No . 57

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly

Director and senior executive remuneration policies

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

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

  • 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:

  • attracting and retaining senior executives and directors; and

  • 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:

  • 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; and

  • 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.

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.

SABRE RESOURCES LTD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

An Authorised Disclosure Officer, who is responsible for providing contact details and other information to ASX to ensure such availability, must be available to communicate with the ASX at all reasonable times.

Measures to avoid a false market

In the event that ASX requests information from the Company in order to correct or prevent a false market in the Company’s securities, the Company will comply with that request. The extent of information to be provided by the Company will depend on the circumstances of the ASX request.

If the Company is unable to give sufficient information to the ASX to correct or prevent a false market, the Company will request a trading halt.

If the full Board is available to consider the decision of whether to call a trading halt, only they may authorise it, but otherwise, the Authorised Disclosure Officer may do so.

ASX announcements

Company announcements of price sensitive information are subjected to the following vetting and authorisation process to ensure their clarity, timely release, factual accuracy and inclusion of all material information:

  • The Authorised Disclosure Officer must prepare ASX announcements when required to fulfil the Company’s disclosure obligations.

  • Proposed announcements must be approved by the Corporate Manager or in his absence, urgent announcements may be approved by any other person expressly authorised by the Board.

  • Announcements must first be released to the ASX Announcements Platform before being disclosed to any other private or public party (such as the media). After release of the announcement, it must be displayed on the Company’s website, following which the Company can then release such information to media and other information outlets.

  • Wherever practical, all announcements must be provided to the directors, Corporate Manager and Company Secretary prior to release to the market for approval and comment.

Confidentiality and unauthorised disclosure

The Company must safeguard the confidentiality of information which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities. If such information is inadvertently disclosed, the Authorised Disclosure Officer must be informed of the same and must refer it to the Chairman and Corporate Manager as soon as possible.

External communications and media relations

The Chairman, Corporate Manager and Company Secretary are authorised to communicate on behalf of the Company with the media, government and regulatory authorities, stock brokers, analysts and other interested parties or the public at large. No other person may do so unless specifically authorised by the Chairman or the Corporate Manager.

All requests for information from the Company must be referred to the Authorised Disclosure Officer for provision to the Chairman and the Corporate Manager.

Breach of Disclosure Policy

Serious breaches of the Company’s Disclosure Policy may be treated with disciplinary action, including dismissal, at the discretion of the Board. Where the breach is alleged against a member of the Board, that director will be excluded from the Board’s consideration of the breach.
