REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

HIGHLIGHTS OF EXPLORATION

Shallow drilling of numerous zinc-lead and copper targets on the Border-Toggenburg and Kombat Corridors respectively has identified the highly prospective areas at Toggenburg and Guchab South that are undergoing detailed examination.

The Toggenburg zinc-lead-silver prospect was discovered late in 2014 when shallow drilling at a strategically defined target area intercepted strong zinc and lead anomalism and visible sphalerite and galena mineralisation. Subsequent investigation has shown that:

The Toggenburg anomaly is large, measuring over 2.8 km long and up to 250 m wide.
Toggenburg is entirely covered by a veneer of less than 5 m of sand and silts. No outcrops of zinclead mineralisation have been identified. As such, there are no historical workings nor records of exploration in the vicinity of the prospect area.
It is located less than 2 km along strike to the east of Sabre’s Border zinc-lead deposit, which has a JORC 2012 Inferred Resource of 16.0 Mt @ 1.53 % Zn, 0.59 % Pb and 4.76 g/t Ag.
At Toggenburg, sampling of the uppermost bedrock has recorded combined zinc and lead values up to 2.9 %. These results are high for the near-surface depletion zone and correspond with visible sulphides.
The anomalies defining the Toggenburg prospect are open to the east and to the west.
The Toggenburg anomalies cover an area more than four times the size of the equivalent anomaly at Border, where a 0.1% Zn+Pb cutoff in the near-surface approximates the footprint of zinc and lead sulphide mineralisation at depth.

Strategic targeting for copper at Guchab South identified copper anomalism and sulphide mineralisation over a broad area. Sparse outcrops show common copper sulphide mineralisation, as well as features strongly reminiscent of mineralisation at the nearby Kombat copper mine. At the Guchab South copper-silver prospect:

Disseminated copper mineralisation is exposed over an 850 x 100 m area.
Copper sulphides bornite, chalcocite, and chalcopyrite are exposed in sparsely distributed outcrops, along with oxidised copper minerals malachite and chrysocolla.
Mineralisation, alteration, and deformation styles are all consistent with hydrothermal Kombat style copper deposits.
Shallow geochemical drilling shows that the distribution of copper in bedrock defines an area coincident with the outcropping mineralisation.
Disseminated copper mineralisation is interpreted to be the halo to more massive mineralisation down plunge to the west of the exposed mineralisation.

Work continues at both prospects and at other target areas.

PROJECT LOCATION

Sabre’s Otavi Mountain Land project is located in northern Namibia, in southern Africa (Figure 1). The project comprises two granted tenements, EPL 3540 (SBR 70%) and EPL 3542 (SBR 80%), which cover about 700 km2 of the ‘Otavi Triangle’ (Figure 2).

GEOLOGICAL SET T ING

The Otavi M ountain La n d (‘OML’) is part of the D amaran M o bile Belt, on e of the mo s t economic a lly importan t regions glo b ally for base metal min e ralisation. A significant proportion o f the world’ s copper is s ourced fro m the Central African Co p per Belt, w hich is sub d ivided into the Zambian and the K atangan (DRC) Coppe r Belts. With giant deposits such as K amoa and T enke-Fung u rume and large high-gr a de deposits like Kipushi , the Central African Copper Belt is a major sourc e of revenu e for both th e DRC and Z ambia.

geochemical drilling at Guchab South has identified visible chalcocite and malachite over a850 by 100m zone along trend east of the Kombat Copper Mine.

Sabre has also defined two major trends with stratabound zinc-lead sulphide mineralisation. As well as containing the Border zinc-lead deposit ( 16.0 Mt @ 1.53 % Zn, 0.59 % Pb and 4.76 g/t Ag ), recent work has uncovered significant Zn-Pb geochemical anomalies at Toggenburg with up to 2.90 % Zn+Pb over 2.8 km strike length defined to date.

Strategically the Company is focusing on high-value deposit styles:

High grade, copper-rich Tsumeb- and Kipushi-type deposits. Kombat-style epigenetic copper mineralisation is considered to be a subset of this type.
Stratabound epigenetic zinc-lead deposits with favourable metallurgical characteristics.

There is also a secondary focus throughout the region on Copperbelt-style stratiform Copper deposits (e.g. Tschudi in the OML). Exploration is mainly in the extensive areas of cover or poor outcrop which previous explorers largely ignored.

MINING INFRASTRUCTURE

A long history of mining in the Otavi Mountain Land has resulted in excellent infrastructure in the region. Exploration commenced in the region in the late 1800s when German explorers noted the local Herero people wearing jewellery made from a variety of copper minerals. This led to the discovery of the Tsumeb mine as well as further copper deposits in the Otavi Valley, including the Kombat and Guchab mines.

Copper mining from the early-1900s through to 2008 required significant infrastructure throughout the OML, which still exists today, including:

Tsumeb Copper Smelter (Dundee PM) – Capacity to process 240,000 tonnes of copper concentrates per annum.
Tsumeb Concentrator (Weatherly International) – on care & maintenance, largely intact 560,000 tonnes per annum circuit, closed in 2008 due to low copper prices.
Kombat Concentrator (Kombat Copper) – on care & maintenance, 400,000 tonne per annum circuit, closed in 2008 due to low copper prices.
Rail – network of rail through region, from the port at Walvis Bay to Tsumeb (530km) & Grootfontein (with a dedicated siding at Guchab).
Roads – paved and formed gravel roads throughout region and to the capital Windhoek (430 km).
Reticulated high voltage power - power throughout the OML region, sourced internally and from neighbouring countries including Zambia.
Reticulated water
Mobile and land-line telecommunications

This infrastructure provides a significant advantage in progressing a discovery into production.

Sabre’s m o del for mi n eralisation along the K ombat Corridor is for Kombat-st y le hydrothe r mal coppe r deposits to be distribu t ed at struc t urally favo u rable locati o ns.

For example, copper m ineralisatio n buried de e ply beneath the shale a nd dolomit e would likely result in a weak and/ o r cryptic an o maly, with s hallow min e ralisation showing a mo d erate resp o nse, and n e ar-emergen t mineralisation showing t he stronge s t anomalis m in both the regolith and the bedrock .

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

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 2014. The Company did not receive specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

END OF REMUNERATION REPORT

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year, except as reported in the following paragraphs, which significantly affect, or could significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated group, the results of these operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated group in future years.

Directors’ Report

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Namibian government has released for comment a draft New Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF) discussion paper seeking to give Namibian citizens greater opportunities to participate in the economic development of their country. This paper was open for public comment until 29 April 2016, after which time any comments received will be analysed and may be included in any legislation subsequently presented to parliament.

It is not clear at this stage what the final form of the legislation, if enacted, may take and it may have implications for our future activities in Namibia.

Namibian Exclusive Prospecting Licences 3540 and 3542 are currently going through the renewal process, with the application for renewal having been lodged before its renewal date of September 2015.

The Directors have obtained a legal opinion form a reputable and experienced Namibian legal firm and liaised with the Company’s local auditors and are confident that the licence will be renewed.

INDEMNIFYING OFFICERS OR AUDITOR

No indemnities have been given, or insurance premiums paid, other than Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance, during or since the end of the financial year, for any person who is or has been an officer or auditor of the entity.

SHARE OPTIONS

As at the date of this report, there are 12,500,000 options issue on 26 October 2015. These options were issued free of charge and are exercisable at 25 cents at any time up to their expiry on 1 August 2018.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS

There have not been any significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company and its controlled entities during the financial year, other than as noted in this financial report.

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.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

A copy of the independent auditor’s declaration as required by section 307c of the Corporations Act 2001 , is set out on Page 55.

NON AUDIT SERVICES

The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied that the services disclosed below did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following reasons;

All non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the audit committee prior to commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Corporate Information

The financial report of Sabre Resources Ltd (the Company) for the year ended 30 June 2016 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 13 September 2016.

Sabre Resources Ltd is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange and the Berlin and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges.

The nature of the operations and principal activity of the Group is mineral exploration.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. The financial report has also been prepared on an accruals basis and on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets and liabilities, which have been measured at fair value.

The financial report is presented in Australian Dollars.

The financial statements of the Company and Group have been prepared on a going concern basis which anticipates the ability of the Company and Group to meet its obligations in the normal course of the business.

(b) Statement of compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

(c) New and Amended Accounting standards adopted by the Group

AASB 2015-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements to Australian Accounting Standards 2012-2014 Cycle

These amendments arise from the issuance of Annual Improvements to IFRS 2012-2014 Cycle in September 2014 by the IASB.

Among other improvements, the amendments clarify that when an entity reclassifies an asset (or disposal group) directly from being held for sale to being held for distribution (or vice-versa), the accounting guidance in paragraphs 27-29 of AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations does not apply. The amendments also state that when an entity determines that the asset (or disposal group) is no longer available for immediate distribution or that the distribution is no longer highly probable, it should cease held-for-distribution accounting and apply the guidance in paragraphs 27-29 of AASB 5.

AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation

The amendments to AASB 116 prohibit the use of a revenue-based depreciation method for property, plant and equipment. Additionally, the amendments provide guidance in the application of the diminishing balance method for property, plant and equipment.

The amendments to AASB 138 present a rebuttable presumption that a revenue-based amortisation method for intangible assets is inappropriate. This rebuttable presumption can be overcome (ie. a revenue-based amortisation method might be appropriate) only in two (2) limited circumstances:

intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue, for example when the predominant limiting factor inherent in an intangible asset is the achievement of a revenue threshold; or

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 27

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated.

AASB 2014-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

The amendments introduce the equity method of accounting as one of the options to account for an entity’s investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in the entity’s separate financial statements.

AASB 2015-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 101

The Standard makes amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements arising from the IASB’s Disclosure Initiative project. The amendments:

Clarify the materiality requirements in AASB 101, including an emphasis on the potentially detrimental effect of obscuring useful information with immaterial information
Clarify that AASB 101’s specified line items in the statement(s) of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of financial position can be disaggregated
Add requirements for how an entity should present subtotals in the statement(s) of profit and loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of financial position
clarify that entities have flexibility as to the order in which they present the notes, but also emphasise that understandability and comparability should be considered by an entity when deciding that order
remove potentially unhelpful guidance in AASB 101 for identifying a significant accounting policy

AASB 2015- 4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Financial Reporting Requirements for Australian Groups with a Foreign Parent

AASB 2015-4 amends AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to ensure that its reporting requirements on Australian groups with a foreign parent align with those currently available in AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements for such groups. AASB 128 will now only require the ultimate Australian entity to apply the equity method in accounting for interests in associates and joint ventures, if either the entity or the group is a reporting entity, or both the entity and group are reporting entities.

AASB 1057 Application of Australian Accounting Standards

In May 2015, the AASB decided to revise Australian Accounting Standards that incorporate IFRSs to minimise Australian specific wording even further. The AASB noted that IFRSs do not contain application paragraphs that identify the entities and financial reports to which the Standards (and Interpretations) apply. As a result, the AASB decided to move the application paragraphs previously contained in each Australian Accounting Standard (or Interpretation), unchanged, into a new Standard AASB 1057 Application of Australian Accounting Standards.

(d) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Period

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2016 reporting periods. The group's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

(i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments

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 effective date is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 9. However, based on the entity’s preliminary assessment, the Standard is not expected to have a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2019.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 28

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AASB 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts

AASB 14 permits first-time adopters of Australian Accounting Standards who conduct rate-regulated activities to continue to account for amounts related to rate regulation in accordance with their previous GAAP. Accordingly, an entity that applies AASB 14 may continue to apply its previous GAAP accounting policies for the recognition, measurement, impairment and derecognition of its regulatory deferral account balances. This exemption is not available to entities who already apply Australian Accounting Standards.

The effective date is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

When AASB 14 becomes effective for the first time for the year ending 30 June 2017, it will not have any impact on the entity.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 15 replaces AASB 118: Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and some revenue-related Interpretations. In summary, AASB 15:

establishes a new revenue recognition model;
changes the basis for deciding whether revenue is to be recognised over time at a point in time;
provides a new and more detailed guidance on specific topics (eg multiple element arrangements, variable pricing, rights of return and warranties); and
expands and improves disclosures about revenue.

When this Standard is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2018, there will be no material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements.

AASB 2014-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations

This amendment impacts on the use of AASB 11 when acquiring an interest in a joint operation.

The effective date is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2017, there will be no material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements.

(e) Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2016. 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

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 29

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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) 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.

(g) Property, plant and equipment

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 30

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

(h) 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.

(i) 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

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 31

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 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,

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 32

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

(j) 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. (k) 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.

(l) 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.

(m) 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.

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 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.

(n) 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.

(o) 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.

(ii) Interest

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 34

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

(p) 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.

(q) 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

Notes to the Financial Statements

Page No. 35

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

(r) 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.

(s) 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.

(t) 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.

(u) Comparatives

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

(v) 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 $593,651 and a net cash outflow from operating activities of $746,406 and from investing activities of $332,880.

The Directors will continue to monitor the capital requirements of the Group, and this includes additional capital raisings in future periods as required. The Group has the ability to vary discretionary exploration expenditure if required.

In addition to planned capital raisings, a shareholder of the Company has agreed to provide cash advances to the Company until a capital raising has been completed. Subsequent to 30 June 2016, a loan of $100,000 has been received by the Company under this arrangement. Repayment is not required for at least twelve months from the date of the issue of the audited financial statements. In addition, Service Fees and

Notes to the Financial Statements

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Reimburseable Expenses for the latter part of the year ended 30 June 2016 have been waived and no further charges will be raised until the Company is able to meet its commitments as they fall due.

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 $24,982,606. Refer to Note 11 for details in relation to the current renewal of the Namibian tenement licences.

(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

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.

The Namibian government has released for comment a draft New Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF) discussion paper seeking to give Namibian citizens greater opportunities to participate in the economic development of their country. This paper is open for public comment until 29 April, after which time any comments received will be analysed and may be included in any legislation subsequently presented to parliament.

It is not clear at this stage what the final form of the legislation, if enacted, may take and it may have implications for our future activities in Namibia.

Namibian Exclusive Prospecting Licences 3540 and 3542 are currently going through the renewal process, with the application for renewal having been lodged before its renewal date of September 2015.

The Directors have obtained a legal opinion form a reputable and experienced Namibian legal firm and liaised with the Company’s local auditors and are confident that the licence will be renewed.

On 29 June 2012, the Group acquired all the issued share capital of Starloop Holdings Pty Limited (Starloop) for a purchase consideration of 5,360,000, consisting of 46,000,000 converting shares of Sabre Resources Ltd at a share price of 11cents and $300,000 in cash. The consideration securities were subject to a 12 month escrow period which expired on 28 June 2013. Other terms of the transaction included the issue of the further shares upon meeting the targets set out below:

25 million shares on achieving inferred JORC resource of 1million tonnes at a grade of 2% Cu, and
A further 5 million shares on achieving an inferred JORC resource of 5 million tonnes at a grade of 3% Cu.

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.

(a) Interest Rate Risk

The consolidated entity’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument's value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on those financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:

Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents Loans and Receivables Held-for-trading investments Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities (at amortised cost): Trade and other payables Net Financial Assets	Floating Interest Rate 2016 2015 0.00% - 1.10% 0.00% - 3.40% $ 56,796 764,577 - - - -	Non-Interest Bearing TOTAL 2016 2015 2016 2015 $ $ $ $ - - 56,796 764,577 223,376 469,468 223,376 469,468 14,667 12,000 14,667 12,000

(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

(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 2016, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as minimal:

		Consolidated	Consolidated
		2016	2015
		$000	$000
Change in profit:
-	Increase in interest rate by 2%	-	26
-	Decrease in interest rate by 2%	-	(26)
Change in Equity
-	Increase in interest rate by 2%	-	26

(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.

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

(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).

Consolidated Group 2016 Financial assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: investments held for trading 2015 Financial assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: investments held for trading	Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total $000 $000 $000 $000 15 - - 15
	15 - - 15
	12 - - 12
	12 - - 12

Included within Level 1 of the hierarchy are listed investments. The fair values of these financial assets have been based on the closing quoted bid prices at the end of the reporting period, excluding transaction costs.

22. Operating Segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal management reporting that is used by the executive management team (the chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Group’s operating segments have been identified based on how the financial and operating results of the Group are monitored and presented internally to the executive management team. The reportable segments are based on aggregated operating segments determined by the similarity of the products sold, as these are the sources of the Group’s major risks and have the most effect on the performance of the Group.

25. Contingent Liabilities

In addition to the shares issued to the vendor of Namibian tenement number EPL 3540, a further 25,000,000 shares will be issued on achieving an inferred JORC resource of 1 million tonnes at a grade of 2% copper; (or the metal equivalent being 20,000 tonnes copper metal) from the Project and 5,000,000 shares on achieving an inferred JORC resource of 5 million tonnes at a grade of 3% copper; (or the metal equivalent being 30,000 tonnes copper metal)

No other contingent liability exists for termination benefits under service agreements with directors or persons who take part in the management of the company.

26. Subsequent Events

Apart from the comments in the succeeding paragraphs, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the consolidated group, the results of these operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated group in future years.

The Namibian government has released for comment a draft New Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF) discussion paper seeking to give Namibian citizens greater opportunities to participate in the economic development of their country. This paper was open for public comment until 29 April, after which time any comments received will be analysed and may be included in any legislation subsequently presented to parliament.

It is not clear at this stage what the final form of the legislation, if enacted, may take and it may have implications for our future activities in Namibia.

Namibian Exclusive Prospecting Licences 3540 and 3542 are currently going through the renewal process, with the application for renewal having been lodged before its renewal date of September 2015.

The Directors have obtained a legal opinion form a reputable and experienced Namibian legal firm and liaised with the Company’s local auditors and are confident that the licence will be renewed.

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Sabre Resources Limited (the “Company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, 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 Limited 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 2016 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(v) to the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $593,651 and also incurred cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $1,079,286 during the year ended 30 June 2016. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2(v), 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.

Report on the remuneration 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 2016, 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 Managing Director, (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 services are provided by a Services Provider under a Services Agreement. The Company has only one direct employees, who 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.

The Company recognises that the mining and exploration industry is intrinsically male dominated in many of the operational sectors and the pool of women with appropriate skills is limited in some instances. The Company also recognises that diversity extends to matters of age, disability, ethnicity, marital/family status, religious/cultural background and

Corporate Governance

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

sexual orientation. Where possible, the Company will seek to identify suitable candidates for positions from a diverse pool.

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

Chairman

The Chairman is responsible for leadership of the Board and for the efficient organisation and conduct of the Board’s business. The Chairman facilitates the effective contribution of all directors and promotes 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.

Managing Director

The Managing Director is responsible for running the affairs of the Company under authority delegated from the Board. In carrying out his responsibilities the Managing Director 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 and is accountable directly to the Board on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board. All directors are to have access to the Company Secretary.

Performance Evaluation

The Chairman and/or the Managing Director are responsible for reviewing the performance of each executive at least once every calendar year. During the financial year ended 30 June 2016, an evaluation of the performance of the Board and its members was not formally undertaken. However, a general review of the Board and executives occurs on an on-going basis to ensure that structures suitable to the Company’s status as a listed entity are in place.

It is the policy of the Board to conduct evaluation of individual employees’ performance. The objective of this evaluation is to provide best practice corporate governance to the Company. During the financial year an evaluation of the performance of the individuals was not formally carried out. However, a general review of the individuals occurs on an on-going basis to ensure that structures suitable to the Company's status as a listed entity are in place.

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

Corporate Governance

Page No . 57

SABRE RESOURCES LTD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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.

An Independent Director:

is a Non-Executive Director and;
is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;
within the last three years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another group member, or been a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment;
within the last three years has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;
is not a material supplier or customer of the Company or another group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;
has no material contractual relationship with the Company or other group member other than as a Director of the Company;
has not served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company; and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company; and
is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company.

The Company’s non-executive directors are all independent and 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 .

The Company’s current non-executives are:

Michael Scivolo was first appointed on 3 October 2006
Jonathan Downes was first appointed on 13 December 2007
Paul Mazzoni was first appointed on 25 February 2014

David Chapman was appointed Managing Director on 30 May 2015.

Corporate Governance

Page No . 58

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

Chairman

The Chairman should be a non-executive director who is independent and 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 experience.

Prior to the appointment of a director, appropriate checks will be undertaken to determine the suitability of any candidate, and the Board will provide security holders with all material information in its possession, which the Board considers relevant.

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. There are no written agreements with directors.

The Company has reviewed the skill set of its Board to determine where the skills lie and any relevant gaps in skill shortages. The Company monitors any perceived gaps in skills, as well as seeking to identify future suitable Board candidates for positions from a diverse pool.

Induction and education

The Board has 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

Corporate Governance

Page No . 59

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

the role of any Board committees in operation.

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 and Risk Management Committee structure to be inefficient. All directors share responsibility for ensuring the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting and appropriate Board processes have been 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;
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.

The Company’s Risk Management Policy ensures that the Board as a whole is responsible for the oversight of the Company’s risk management and control framework. The objectives of the Company’s Risk management strategy are to:

identify risks to the Company;
balance risk to reward;
ensure regulatory compliance is achieved; and
ensure senior executives, the Board and investors understand the risk profile of the Company.

The Board monitors risk through various arrangements including:

regular Board meetings;
share price monitoring;
market monitoring; and
regular review of financial position and operations.

The Company’s Risk Management Policy is considered adequate for addressing and managing risk. It is intended that the Board will annually review the following categories of risks affecting the Company as part of the Company’s systems and processes for managing material business risks:

operational matters,
financial reporting,
sovereignty and
market-related risks.

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.

The Company respects the rights of its shareholders and to facilitate the effective exercise of those rights the Company is committed to making it easy for shareholders to participate in shareholder meetings of the Company. The Company also makes available a telephone number and email address for shareholders to make enquiries of the Company.

Shareholders are given the opportunity to receive communications electronically.

The Company’s website includes the following:

Corporate Governance policies, procedures, charters, programs, assessments, codes and frameworks;
Names and biographical details of each of its directors and senior executives;
Constitution;
Copies of annual, half yearly and quarterly reports;
ASX announcements;
Copies of notices of meetings of security holders;
Media releases;
Overview of the Company’s current business, structure and history;
Details of upcoming meetings of security holders;
Summary of the terms of the securities on issue;
Historical market price information of the securities on issue;
Contact details for the share registry and media enquiries;

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 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.

The external auditor is invited to attend every AGM for the purpose of answering questions from security holders relevant to the audit.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

Creation and implementation of Company risk management policies

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

The Managing Director 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.

Due to the nature and size of the Company's operations, and the Company’s ability to derive substantially all of the benefits of an independent internal audit function, the expense of an independent internal auditor is not considered to be appropriate.

The Company has considered its economic, environmental and social sustainability risks by way of internal review and has concluded that it is not subject to material economic, environmental and social sustainability risks.

Corporate Governance

Page No . 63

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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.

Managing Director

The Managing Director 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 Managing Director 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 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 is structured to reflect short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Company’s circumstances and goals.

Corporate Governance

Page No . 64

SABRE RESOURCES LTD

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Executive directors’ and senior executives’ remuneration packages 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 is formulated with regard to the following guidelines:

non-executive directors are normally 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 are not provided with retirement benefits other than superannuation.

Executives and non-executive directors are prohibited from entering into transactions or arrangements which limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements.

No director is involved in setting their own remuneration or terms and conditions, but if such a case were to arise, the relevant director would be required to absent himself 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 that would otherwise be considered by a committee.

No trading in Company securities shall take place during the two weeks preceding release of each quarterly report, half-yearly financial report, and annual financial report of the Company.
No trading in the Company’s securities shall take place, directly or indirectly, where it is known, or ought reasonably to have been known by the person intending to trade, that information exists which has not been released to the ASX and where that information is of a type that could reasonably be expected to encourage buying or selling were that information known by others.

Corporate Governance Page No 68

SABRE RESOURCES LTD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Appendix C - Disclosure Policy

Disclosure requirements

The Company recognises its obligations pursuant to the continuous disclosure rules of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act to keep the market fully informed of information which may have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities.

Subject to certain exceptions (in ASX Listing Rule 3.1A), the Company is required to immediately release to the market information that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities.

Responsibilities of directors officers and employees

The Board as a whole is primarily responsible for ensuring that the Company complies with its disclosure obligations and for deciding what information will be disclosed. Subject to delegation, the Board is also responsible for authorising all ASX announcements and responses of the Company to ASX queries.

Every director, officer and employee of the Company is to be informed of the requirements of this policy and must advise the Managing Director, Chairman or Company Secretary as soon as possible (and prior to disclosure to anyone else) of matters which they believe may be required to be disclosed.

Authorised Disclosure Officer

The Board has delegated its primary responsibilities to communicate with ASX to the following Authorised Disclosure Officer:

the Company Secretary or
in the absence of the Company Secretary, the Managing Director is authorised to act in that capacity by the Board.

Responsibilities of Authorised Disclosure Officer

Subject to Board intervention on a particular matter, the Authorised Disclosure Officer is responsible for the following:

monitoring information required to be disclosed to ASX and coordinating the Company’s compliance with its disclosure obligations;
ASX communication on behalf of the Company, authorising Company announcements and lodging documents with ASX;
requesting a trading halt in order to prevent or correct a false market;
providing education on these disclosure policies to the Company’s directors, officers and employees; and
ensuring there are vetting and authorisation processes designed to ensure that Company announcements:
are made 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.

Corporate Governance Page No 69

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 Managing Director 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, Managing Director 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 Managing Director as soon as possible.

External communications and media relations

The Chairman, Managing Director 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 Managing Director.

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

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.
