DIRECTORS' REPORT

Your Directors present their report on consolidated group of Sabre Resources Ltd and controlled entities (the “Group”) for the half year ended 31 December 2013.

1. DIRECTORS

The names of Directors in office during the half year and up to the date of this report:

Jonathan Downes Michael Scivolo David Zukerman (retired 25 February 2014) Paul Mazzoni (appointed 25 February 2014)

2. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Financial Result

The Group incurred a loss after income tax of $379,340 for the half year period (2012: Loss of $344,129). As at 31 December 2013 the Group had cash funds of $4,104,394 (30 June 2013 $6,109,567).

3. EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

Otavi Mountain Land copper and base metal project, Namibia

Sabre’s focus is the exploration and development of the Otavi Mountain Land (OML) copper and base metal project in northern Namibia. The project is located in the world-class Otavi Mountain Land metallogenic province, historically a globally important source of copper, lead, zinc and vanadium. The OML has a long mining history dating back to the late 1800s and consequently has excellent infrastructure, including roads, power, water, rail to port and the Tsumeb base metal smelter complex, one of only five operating copper smelters in Africa. The province is presently undergoing a renaissance with the work of Sabre and others in the region.

Drilling continued throughout the half-year at the Guchab Mining Centre. Here, drilling is aimed at producing a future JORC resource, with most effort expended at the Guchab Canyon copper-silver deposit. Other drilling was undertaken at the Schlangental and Iron Hat copper prospects during the last six months, and studies of the mining centre and the region as a whole continued.

Preliminary three-dimensional implicit modelling of the Guchab Canyon deposit shows a distinct southerly plunge to the mineralisation. Copper-silver mineralisation is open in several directions laterally and at depth. A full description of the model is provided in the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report.

b) Guchab Mining Centre – Schlangental copper prospect

The Schlangental prospect area is part of the Guchab Mining Centre. The prospect is located on the flats under cover around 1.2 km to the west of the Guchab Canyon deposit. Schlangental comprises of a series of shallow open-pits that were probably mined for high-grade (>5%) copper ores in the early 20th century, around the same time as mining first commenced at Kombat & Guchab.

Page 5

SABRE RESOURCES LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Sabre has undertaken an exploratory program across the Schlangental area to assist in defining further targets for resource delineation. The exploration program has included channel sampling as well as percussion, RC & diamond drilling.

During the past 6 months, 8 RC holes and 1 diamond hole were completed, with results including:

SCRC0035 16.00 metres @ 0.88% Copper & 9.47 g/t Silver from 25.00 metres including 3.00 metres @ 4.24% Copper & 11.63 g/t Silver from 28.00 metres SCRC0042 8.00 metres @ 4.57% Copper & 55.88 g/t Silver from 50.00 metres including 2.00 metres @ 16.14% Copper & 195.25 g/t Silver from 52.00 metres SCDD0001 9.40 metres @ 1.03% Copper & 4.55 g/t Silver from 21.60 metres

Further work is required at Schlangental.

c) Guchab Mining Centre – Iron Hat (Eisernenhut) copper prospect

Reconnaissance drilling at the Iron Hat (Eisernenhut) was undertaken. Five drill holes in total were collared, with two of these failing to hit target depths due to poor ground conditions.

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

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

Copper distributions in the subsurface do not match those observed in outcrop. Preliminary analysis suggests that these mineralized zones represent feeders from an underlying copper sulphide body to the outcropping gossan. In-depth analysis of the drill core is currently underway to get a better understanding of the area before further work is undertaken.

d) Other work

Our regional assessment of the prospects of the Otavi Mountain Land Project continues with several sites investigated during the latter half of 2013. The Company is presently focusing on the Kombat Copper Trend, particularly in the 10 km between the Kombat copper mine and the Guchab Mining Centre. A regional study is also underway in order to better understand the nature and context of copper mineralisation along the Kombat Copper Trend. This study is aimed at targeting further copper deposits in the mountain land.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF YEAR REPORT

Sabre Resources Ltd is a company domiciled in Australia.

This general purpose financial report for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 has been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards including AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting . Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Sabre Resources Ltd and its controlled entities (the Group). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2013 together with any public announcements made during the half year.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements except for the adoption of the following new and revised Accounting Standards.

The interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors.

Accounting Standards not previously applied

New or revised Standards and Interpretations that are first effective in the current reporting period:

The Group has adopted the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current period.

Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application date for future reporting periods. In the half year ended 31 December 2013, the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013. It has been determined by the Company that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and no change is necessary to the Company accounting policies.

2. DIVIDENDS

No dividends have been paid or proposed during the six month period ended 31 December 2013.

3. CAPITAL AND LEASING COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

There has been no material change in contingent liabilities and commitments since the end of the last annual reporting period.

4. FINANCIAL ASSETS (NON-CURRENT)

December 2013 June 2013
$ $
Investment in listed shares 6,667 13,333

The Company holds shares in a listed entity and these shares are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss. Changes in fair value are included within profit or loss.

5. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Segment Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal management reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. As the Group is focused on mineral exploration, the Board monitors the Group based on actual exploration expenditure incurred by area of interest. The internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the executive management team with making decisions regarding the Group and its ongoing exploration activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.

The executive management team has aggregated the performance of all segments as they maintain similar economic characteristics including the development and exploration of the Group’s mineral interests in Namibia.

Basis of Accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

Accounting Policies Adopted

All amounts reported to the Board of Directors with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

Unallocated items

Corporate costs are not considered core operations of any segment.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

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

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Sabre Resources Ltd is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • a giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

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