AGATE CREEK EPITHERMAL GOLD PROJECT

The Agate Creek Epithermal gold project is located approximately 50 kilometres west of Kidston and 50 km South of Forsayth in northeast Queensland as seen in figure 1. Barrick Gold's continuing interest in the project has reverted to the receipt of a 1% net smelter royalty on the ores and minerals mined or otherwise recovered. The paperwork required to transfer 100% of the tenements to Renison is in progress and a more detailed Royalty Agreement is being initiated. The four currently granted tenements cover 357km2, with a further 705km2 under application.

Exploration Activities completed

Reverse circulation (RC) drilling within the Sherwood Deposit at the Agate Creek Gold Project commenced on 8 September 2010 and was suspended on 15 November 2010 due to the onset of the tropical wet season. Figure 2 shows the location of all collars drilled within the reporting period, and table 1 shows a summary of drilling completed including total metres.

Table 1 – Collar summary with total metres.

The drilling program included the testing of depth extensions at Sherwood West and specific structural targets within the Sherwood Area to add ounces to the current resource. In summary, three holes were drilled for 166m at Nottingham, and 32 holes were drilled for 4009m within the Sherwood Deposit. Regional mapping at Little John South and closer spaced mapping at Nottingham was undertaken and resulted in enhanced drill targeting. A total of 103 rock chip samples were collected across the Agate Creek Project.

Highlights from the drilling include 6m @ 2.87g/T Au from 67m in CCRC448; 13m @ 1.48g/T Au from 96m in CCRC450; 15m @ 1.15g/T Au in CCRC453; 1m @ 20.1g/t Au from 53m in CCRC460; 7m @ 3.07g/t Au from 63m in CCRC474 and 12m @ 1.73g/t Au from 39m in CCRC472.

Results from drilling led to an overall 11% increase in the current resource so that the Combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource is now 17 million tonnes at 0.94 g/t gold for 514,000 ounces at a 0.3 g/t gold cut-off grade. A revised estimate was also calculated at a 0.5 g/t cut-off, with a combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 9.47 million tonnes at 1.36g/t gold for 414,000 ounces of gold.

A new conceptual emplacement model taking into account all new drilling and research on epithermal mineralisation was completed for the Sherwood Deposit and can be seen in figure 3. This model takes into account the probable genesis of the mineralising fluids and the geomorphology of the deposit over time. This model will help with future drill targeting.

A Structural consultant was engaged to provide an interpretation of the important structural relationships within the Sherwood Deposit with the aim of improving the understanding of the structural setting of mineralisation and update and confirm drill targets for deeper mineralised zones. This work will be completed by October 2011.

A Geophysical consultant was engaged to review, reinterpret and update all geophysics. Recommendations for any work that may help with future drill targeting will also be provided. This work is expected to be completed by October 2011.

Further mineralisation is expected to be discovered near the existing resources which include targets that remain untested from the last drilling programme at Sherwood, new targets generated from the last programme, and recent structural mapping at Sherwood, which indicate additional deeper targets. Upcoming exploration will also investigate many prospective regional targets. An RC drilling program is expected to commence in November to test these additional targets with the aim of a further increase in the current resource. A feasibility study for the commencement of mining will be progressed over the coming year.

Renison submitted three proposals for round 5 of the Queensland Government Greenfields 2020 Collaborative Drilling Initiative (CDI) covering drilling at Sherwood, Delaney and Phoenix. None of these was successful. Using feedback provided by these, Renison then submitted two proposals for round 6 CDI covering drilling at Sherwood and Sherwood West. The proposal for drilling for bonanza grade mineralisation at Sherwood was approved.

A CHMA and an ILUA have been signed and lodged for the conditional surrender and mineral development license applications. It is expected that these will be granted by the end of September 2011.

Figure 3 – Sherwood Deposit Model.

Sherwood Deposit Geology

The Sherwood group of prospects is a low-sulphidation epithermal field situated on the northwest edge of the Early Permian Agate Creek Cauldron. It is about 2.5 sq km. Epithermal veins occur as sub-horizontal and subvertical fault-controlled fine grained quartz veins hosted in basement rocks and contemporaneous rhyolites, basalts, andesites and tuffs. Basement comprises paleozoic granite and proterozoice schists. The contact between the two basement suites and proximity to the giant Permian volcano seem to be the major controls on mineralisation.

Two main styles of mineralisation are: quartz dominated to polymict breccias hosted in episodically opening faults, and stockwork veins hosted in igneous rocks, particularly rhyolites. Both styles overlap somewhat and veins often show a variety of textures, such as: milled clast textures, mineral overgrowths on clasts, colloform textures as well as crustiform banding. Veins are clearly multi-episodic and probably represent the near-surface portion of a fossil geyser field.

Increased Resource

An updated Mineral Resource estimate has been completed on the Agate Creek epithermal gold project in North Queensland based upon a total of 480 exploration drill holes which were compiled and interpreted by Renison including 76 drill holes that had been completed since the last Mineral Resource estimate was undertaken. Independent consultant Golder Associates Pty Ltd was engaged to update the mineral resource estimate using computer block modelling and Multiple Indicator Kriging techniques.

A combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 17 million tonnes at 0.94 g/t gold for 514,000 ounces at a 0.3 g/t gold cut-off grade has been estimated. This is an 11% increase from the previous estimate of 14.8 million tonnes at 0.98 g/t gold for 462,000 ounces at a 0.3 g/t gold cut-off.

At a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off, a combined Indicated and Inferred Resource of 9.47 million tonnes at 1.36g/t gold for 414,000 ounces has been estimated.

The breakdown of the current estimate is shown below. Resource estimates were undertaken for the Sherwood, Sherwood West and Sherwood South deposits and were completed using Multiple Indicator Kriging, with a top grade cut of 40 g/t gold. Wireframes based on geological interpretation by Renison were used to restrict the geometries of the estimate and consequently the resource estimate. The current estimate, using Multiple Indicator Kriging, is a recoverable resource estimate that is adjusted to account for a selective mining option and includes an allowance for mine dilution.

Increase in the gold Mineral Resource can be attributed predominantly to continued extensions in the Sherwood West structure and its interaction with the Zig-Zag fault structure.

Grade and tonnage rounded to two decimal places. Ounces calculated after rounding and reported to nearest 1000 ounces.

New financial modelling based on conceptual mining studies will be undertaken over the next six months. Previous financial modelling based upon a \$AUD750 per ounce gold price (the current spot gold price is approximately A\$1800 ounce), indicates that the 0.3 g/t gold grade cut-off could provide a significant margin above the variable cost component of processing ore via a CIP processing plant, and the 0.5 g/t gold grade cut-off should maintain a healthy profit margin above the total capital and operating cost of CIP processing at a 1 to 1.5 million tonne per annum processing rate.

Metallurgical test work to date has shown the ore to be very amenable to CIP processing with high recoveries at moderate grinds and low reagent consumptions.

Sherwood Central

Drilling at Sherwood Central was dominantly focussed on increasing the current resource by testing NS trending structures and NW trending structures which were defined as potential dilation zones by the Global Ore relogging report, testing mineralisation associated with the Agate Creek Fault and extending the depth of known mineralisation near the top of Sherwood Central hill.

Drilling encountered problems associated with clays near the Agate Creek Fault which resulted in limited depth drilling ability for the latter part of the program. Holes CCRC470 and CCRC471 were aimed at NS to NW trending rhyolites that were previously untested. Holes CCRC462 and CCRC463 were aimed at intersecting the Agate Creek Fault. Holes CCRC464, CCRC472 and CCRC473 were aimed at depth extensions of known mineralisation and intercepting the Agate Creek Fault at depth.

Sherwood West

Depth extensions of the Sherwood West mineralisation were tested by holes CCRC446-455, CCRC460, CCRC466 and CCRC469. Each hole intersected a 5-20m zone of chalcedonic breccia and veining within altered rhyolite and showed good continuation of the Sherwood West Structure. The best results include CCRC450 [email protected]/t Au; CCRC447 [email protected]/t Au and CCRC453 [email protected]/t Au. Results for CCRC460 are encouraging with [email protected]/t Au from 53m.

The intersection of the Sherwood West and Zig Zag structures was tested by CCRC456, CCRC461, CCRC467 andCCRC477. CCRC461 did not reach the target depth due to drilling problems but this hole will be re-entered and completed next season. CCRC456 was successful and intersected a wide zone of alteration and veining containing thin 2-5m zones of chalcedonic veining and breccias within altered rhyolite. The best result for this hole was [email protected]/t Au. CCRC467 was aimed at the very north part of the Zig Zag Fault and intersected 10m of significant mineralisation. CCRC477 did not reach the Zig Zag structure due to the limitations of the drill rig.

Holes CCRC465, CCRC468, CCRC474-476 and CCRC478-480 were done to infill current drilling. Holes intersected significant mineralised zones of veining and breccia which have added to the current resource.

Results from the program have been encouraging and have demonstrated good widths and grades in the depth extension of the Sherwood West structure. The later portion of the program was also affected by a maximum depth of the drill rig of 170m due to mechanical, logistical and non-geological problems of the contractor.

CDI Acceptance – Sherwood Bonanza Zone

Target

This proposal is targeting the potential boiling zone and bonanza grades associated with the Agate Creek Fault in the known epithermal deposit at Sherwood. Mineralisation at Sherwood is within a series of bowl shaped lenses believed to be the result of continuous deposition in a series of stacked hot pools as the layers built up at the surface. Studies completed by Global Ore Discovery indicate that the Sherwood Deposit has had little erosion and the current land surface is within 50-100m of the Permian land surface and the stacked hot pool deposits may have been up to 100m thick. As the surface deposits thickened the boiling zone would have moved vertically. Previous CDI drilling in 2008 at Friar Tuck intersected the Agate Creek Fault and minor mineralisation but results and analysis suggested the depth (250mRL) was too shallow to intersect the boiling zone. Further work has indicated block faulting between Sherwood and Friar Tuck may have changed the attitude of the Agate Creek Fault and offset it by 100 to 200m. The Agate Creek Fault is a major fluid conduit. Renison has designed a program to test the boiling zone in two places between 200 and 600m below the initial Permian land surface which is lower than the previous CDI drilling.

Target Rationale

Bonanza veins occur within the paleo-boiling zones of the epithermal system, commonly around 200-600 metres below paleo-land surface. Textures in the veins include colloform and crustiform veining, milled breccias and clearly multiple episodes of mineralisation. At the level of the boiling zone, adularia is a common (and indicative) accessory mineral. Re-interpreted drill-core images and logs indicate that adularia may occur at depth.

Bonanza veins are a common feature of low-sulphidation epithermal deposits, world-wide. The Vera-Nancy lodes are the bonanza portion of the Pajingo Au deposits. The initial discovery was by deep drilling a vein with seemingly low prospectivity at surface. The Hishikari Au bonanza vein was discovered by the Metal Mining Agency of Japan in 1981, with the intersection of 15 cm @ 290 g/t Au, 200 m below surface.

The Agate Creek and the Sherwood West Faults were the major fluid conduits of the active Permian epithermal plumbing system. They probably controlled most of the water out-flow. Water was theoretically driven by heat from the pluton that produced the Agate Creek Volcanics. Rhyolites and chalcedonic breccias up to 14 metres true width have been mapped at Sherwood and Sherwood West forming the core of the mineralised zone. Sherwood has basin shaped breccia lenses that dip gently to the south east while Sherwood West has breccia zones dipping approximately 30 degrees to the east.

Facies analysis of the local collapse caldera rocks indicates a very high-level preservation of this epithermal system, as does petrographic analysis (Ashley, 2005) and Studies by Global Ore Discovery. Many rock chip samples taken during prospect mapping returned values >5 g/t.

Proposed Drilling

Drilling is planned to intercept the potential boiling zone near the intersection of the Agate Creek Fault and the Sherwood West structure. Two holes are planned using direction drilling methods from the same pre-collar hole with 1000m in total. The pre-collar will be approximately 150m deep at 60 degrees to the north-east and two daughter holes will be drilled from 150m at 45 degrees and 75 degrees to allow approximately 200m spacing between boiling zone intercepts. Table 3 in the next section shows the details of these holes.

Two holes are required as there may have been some vertical movement of the boiling zone over time. The first hole aims to intercept the upper part of the boiling zone and the second hole is planned to intercept the potential boiling zone just above the intersection of the Sherwood West and Agate Creek Fault structures. The two holes cover the most likely positions of the boiling zone over time.

Planned Programme and Costing

Two wedged HQ3 diamond holes are planned for a total depth of 1000m. The parent drill hole will be 150m deep with details in table 3 below, two daughter holes will be drilled off this to intersect the potential bonanza mineralised zone. Drill hole locations will be marked and drilled initially using a hand-held GPS. All holes will be surveyed by a contract licensed surveyor at the completion of the drilling program. Down hole surveys will be completed at least every 50m and at the end of hole (EOH) with more intensive surveys required during and immediately after wedging.

Summary Comments

This program is designed to investigate the potential for Vera Nancy style bonanza grades which are expected to lie below the Agate Creek epithermal system. The two daughter holes planned will be drilled to hit the target zone at approximately 300m and 600m below surface. These holes are positioned to intercept the most likely positions of the boiling zone.

Nottingham

Historical drilling at Nottingham has showed mixed results, with several drill holes returning significant, though patchy, results. Nottingham is a very prospective drill ready target with a 2km long outcropping epithermal quartz breccia vein and peripheral stockwork zones. Rhyolites along the zone and the vein itself are variably mineralised with one rhyolite, peripheral to the vein showing visible gold in stockwork quartz veinlets. To date drilling has largely missed the main target zone.

Detailed mapping and rock chipping early in the year delineated several chalcedonic vein breccias, two of which were drilled. Further mapping is required to adequately cover the area. A total of 25 rock chips were collected with the highest result being 0.47g/t Au from a quartz breccia vein. Three holes were drilled, none of which contained any significant results. Figure 15 shows the location of mapping, rock chips and drilling completed. Table 8 summarises collar locations.

Table 5 – Collar location and low grade intercepts at Nottingham.

CCRC458 was drilled as a twin to 99CCRC082 in an effort to confirm historical assay values. It showed a wide zone (~30m) of chalcedonic breccia within altered rhyolite from surface, but results showed only [email protected]/t Au from 4m, and [email protected]/t Au from 35m. These results correlated well with historical results from 99CCRC082.

CCRC457was planned to intersect a 3m wide chalcedonic breccia vein discovered during mapping. This vein was intersected with results showing a wide low level anomalous zone.

CCRC459 was targeting the intersection of two altered rhyolites containing abundant chalcedonic stock work veining. The target was intercepted very close to the surface and the hole was abandoned at 20m due to collar collapsing. Results showed a moderate zone of low level anomalism.

One of the recommendations of the Global Ore Report was to review Nottingham, as previous exploration may have been focussed on northwest trending transfer structures rather than north-south trending dilational structures. Detailed structural mapping, along with lithological mapping and rock chipping is planned for Nottingham in the coming field season. Drilling will be planned on completion of detailed mapping.

Figure 8 – Collar and rockchip locations at Nottingham prospect.

Potential For Further Increased Resources

Drill targets, which remained untested at the end of the recent drilling programme due to reduced depth capabilities of the drill rig on site, provide significant potential for additional resources to be delineated in the Sherwood area with further drilling, together with the previously reported deeper and regional targets.

The re-interpretation and updated mapping of the Nottingham area will also be a priority target when drilling recommences. A programme, targeted to commence in November will include drill testing of some of the prospects generated from the recent regional rock chip and mapping programme. The upcoming drilling programme is aimed to increase the current gold resource base and potentially increase the scope of the project.

Additional exploration targets at Agate Creek also include deeper underground mining targets with higher grade epithermal "bonanza" style mineralisation along feeder structures to the Sherwood mineralisation and regional targets. These could both potentially add to the resource base and help support the feasibility of the development of an open pit mine based on the Sherwood resources.

Regional Mapping and Rock Chipping

Regional Mapping and rock chipping within the tenement areas has resulted in the identification of a total of 39 existing target areas and 3 new prospects, all of which will require further mapping and sampling. Continued rock chipping and geological mapping of the regional tenements will continue with the likelihood of several new prospects being identified along with better definition of the existing prospects. Figure 9 shows the location of current prospects throughout the Agate Creek Project.

Figure 9 – Regional Prospects location with rockchips taken in 2009 and 2010.

Exploration Planning for 2011/12

A detailed interpretation of all drilling will be completed for all prospects and all planned drill holes will be reassessed and ranked in order of priority. Over 50 RC, 20 diamond and 50 RAB/AC drill holes have been planned to test new areas, infill current drilling and test depth and strike extensions at the Sherwood Deposit and on selected regional targets. Several prospects remain drill ready including Cattle Creek, Eastern Bar South and Delaney which are scheduled for drilling during the coming field season. Regional Prospects such as Phoenix, Will Scarlett and Eastern Bar will have follow up drilling completed at the same time.

The Sherwood Deposit will be given high priority in an attempt to add to the current resource and into the resourcing stage as soon as the MDLA402 and conditional surrender for EPMA17788 is granted. Regional and prospect scale mapping and rock chipping will continue to be the dominant first pass tool for assessing the prospectivity of new areas. As results are received the drilling program will be modified as required to prioritise significant results. Planning of plant layout and design including mining licence application and full feasibility studies are moving forward.

ASHFORD COKING COAL PROJECT

The Ashford Coking Coal Project comprises a 50% Joint Venture with Northern Energy Corporation ("NEC"). The Joint Venture incorporates the Ashford Mine Area (EL6234 and EL6428), where an inferred resource of 18 mt of coking coal has been identified, as well as the Ashford Exploration Area, which covers other exploration licences (including Atholwood [EL6526] and Ashford North [EL6539]. NEC is managing both areas of activity.

Table 7 summarises the results of a 7kg coke test conducted on core sample in 2006 by ACIRL and the results of a 180kg sample tested in Japan in 2009 together with a 7kg ACIRL test on the same 2009 core. This confirms that Ashford is a coking coal that would fit in the premium end of the metallurgical coal market. However they also demonstrate variability between samples. Quality variability is caused by variations in ash chemistry. Further work on the variability in ash composition may be required.

ARRAWATTA COAL PROJECT

The Company now holds three coal Exploration License Nos. 6433, 6434 and 6521 at Arrawatta near Inverell, in NSW, covering approximately 192 square kilometres. The licenses are located between 30 to 60 kilometres south of the Ashford Coking Coal project (Renison 50%). EL 6568 was relinquished during the year as it was seen to have very low potential to contain significant resources.

Significant thicknesses of coal-bearing Permian sediments have previously been identified in and around the original Arrawatta discovery. Drill holes intersected Permian sediments with coal over a strike of approximately 3 km. The sequence is open to the north. Coal-bearing strata are contained in two to three sequences within the Permian sediments. Cumulative thicknesses of coal previously identified ranged from approximately 3m to almost 18m. Surface exposure of Permian sediments is very limited. Drilling has therefore been "blind-testing" for Permian coal measures through Tertiary sediments/basalts and recent alluvials. The Permian coal measures strike almost north-south and have a westerly dip.

In summary, the deposit has potential to produce high volatile, high fluidity coking coal but its potential is limited by the generally thin seams in the areas drilled to date and the presence of igneous intrusives, which have coked the seams in some holes, and slightly devolatolised seams in others.

SYDNEY FLAT ALLUVIAL GOLD PROJECT

Renison has entered into an Option to Purchase Agreement for EL6918, Sydney Flat in the New England Fold Belt, 5km south-west of Armidale in NSW. The New England Fold Belt is an exciting mineral province, which in the past, has been a significant production area for gold, tin and base metals. Although previously relatively unexplored, the area is now receiving increased attention with the application of new geological theory and exploration techniques and with the application of new mining and processing technology.

EL6918 is a 147 km2 lease encompassing the historical Sydney Flat Goldfield. First gold production was reported in the 1850's in 'deep leads', old river channels, where they had been exposed by the erosion of the overlying basalts. Early workings were apparently prolific, with exceptionally high grades reported – up to 120 grams per cubic metre. Many averaged between 10 and 12 grams per cubic metre. About 5 kilometres of the channel was worked between 1856 and 1885, with a further 15 kilometres remaining under basalt cover.

The area offers a simple, efficient, near term mining opportunity with minimal environmental impact and an Exploration Target1 in excess of 1,000,000 ounces gold. Total production in the area from 1858 to 1967 totals 5,192.71kg (167,000 ozs), although others consider 250,000 ozs to be the figure, as much of the gold production was unreported. Markham (1975) considers the field to be most productive of the New England district. The Sydney Flat Deep leads were credited with producing 2% of world gold production during the first 5 years of production. (Mackay 1953, Brown el al 1992)

1 Exploration Target

All statements as to exploration targets and statements as to potential quality and grade are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration undertaken to date to define a gold resource and identification of a resource will be totally dependent on the outcome of further exploration. Any statement contained herein as to exploration results or exploration targets has been made consistent with the requirements of the JORC Code.

Figure 10 – Sydney Flat Project tenement location.

Geology and Mineralisation

EL 6918 is located in the central New England Fold Belt which has a long history of tectonic uplift and intrusive emplacement.

The oldest basement rocks encountered in the region are the Devonian Sandon Beds, hornfelsed greywackes and cherts intruded by Permian age granites of the New England Batholith system. In the tenement area the main Permian Intrusive is the Uralla Granodiorite.

Tertiary sediments are deposited unconformably overlaying the Sandon Beds and the Uralla Granodiorite and are classified as being the Armidale Beds. The Armidale Beds are analogues of the gold bearing deep lead deposits located in the tenement area. Overlying the Armidale Beds are numerous basalt flows of various ages but classified as being Tertiary. Finally broad incisions of recent drainage contain gold bearing Quaternary alluvium sourced from the erosion of the deep lead system.

Outcrop within the Tenement is generally poor due to deep weathering of the Tertiary basalts which has resulted in either thick clay soil or talus fields of basalt fragments.

The deep leads are exposed to the south at Sydney Flat where the Tertiary basalt has weathered and been removed. It is this area where gold was first mined from exposed deep lead flowing sands and Quaternary wash. The deep leads have been mapped over an extensive area of the tenement and were worked from1856 to 1885, and explored for a distance of approximately 5km. The deep lead extensions are projected to continue in a northern trend for up to 15km.

The tertiary channels within the leads are reported to vary in width from 50 to 800m and varying thicknesses as they flowed over the undulating bed rock to up to 30m. The average thickness has been estimated by previous explorers as being around 10m.

Weathering of the basalt has resulted in topographic basalt outliers which have exposed deep leads at their bases, which were worked for gold with good result. The auriferous sands are described as being unconsolidated running quartz sands, fine ferruginous quartz sands with some clay, very fine yellow grey quartz well rounded sand grading to fine gravel called "hailstone gravel".

Exploration Target

The scale of the Exploration Target1 is significant when based on the 15 km strike length of unexploited channels and the quoted 100m average width and 5m average thickness of the auriferous basal gravels and a grade of 10 g/m3 . An Exploration Target1 in excess of 1,000,000oz is possible. Extensions to the leads may be found in tributaries of the main auriferous drainage system, with the potential to increase the Exploration Target significantly.

1 Exploration Target

All statements as to exploration targets and statements as to potential quality and grade are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration undertaken to date to define a gold resource and identification of a resource will be totally dependent on the outcome of further exploration. Any statement contained herein as to exploration results or exploration targets has been made consistent with the requirements of the JORC Code.

Mining Technology

Bore Hole-Pump Mining ("BHPM") is considered the best option for mining the deposit, as it is able to utilize the running nature of the gold bearing sands and the ground water volumes to extract sediment from underground without expensive and environmentally intrusive large scale pits. Gold can then be separated via traditional gravity techniques. BHPM technology has evolved over a number of years and has been used successfully in a number of mines in Australia and overseas, The advantage of this mining and processing method is its relative simplicity, low operating cost, low environmental impact, absence of chemical residues, relatively low capital cost and low risk.

Proposed Exploration Program

Initial exploration by Renison will be focused on outlining extensions of the Sydney Flat Deep Lead system to the north of the historic workings to define the most continuous and prospective areas. A staged program is planned:

  • Multi-Spectral data interpretation to locate the clays within exposed channels;
  • Ground-penetrating radar to ascertain the profiles of the channels;
  • Air-core and reverse-circulation drilling to recover the auriferous sands; and
  • Testing greater than 1 m3 samples in a pilot plant to determine recoverable gold content.

The work is planned to test the mineralization sufficiently to define a JORC Resource.

NEW ZEALAND SOUTHERN COROMANDEL PROJECT

Two exploration licence applications were submitted for highly prospective ground in the Southern Coromandel Region on the North Island of New Zealand. The area is host to the world class epithermal Waihi Gold Deposit along with several other large epithermal gold, silver and base metal deposits such as Golden Cross. The applications have been accepted for processing by Crown Minerals, and grant is expected in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The tenements are located in the highly prospective Hauraki Goldfields district within the mineralised corridor that is host to Newmont's Martha Mine (Waihi) and the Golden Cross gold and silver mine. These Exploration Permit Applications (EPAs) cover a total area of 303.8km2 and consist of Klondyke EPA53464 (257.8km2 ) and Waitekauri EPA53469 (46km2 ). See figure 11.

The Hauraki Goldfields district was extensively mined between 1860 and 1952 when over 1300 tonnes of gold and silver bullion was produced. Since then, there has been little mining using modern mining techniques, apart from at the Golden Cross and Martha mines. The largest deposit in the Hauraki Goldfields district is Newmont's operational Martha Mine. This has produced an average of 100,000 ounces of gold and 700,000 ounces of silver annually since 1988. The Martha (Waihi) mine first commenced ore extraction in the late 19th century and is currently producing over 100,000 ounces of gold a year. Production from the Martha mine has been boosted by the development of the Favona deposit which commenced ore extraction in 2006. The Favona underground mine, situated adjacent to Martha Mine at Waihi, began extracting ore at the end of 2006, indicating there remains significant discovery potential in the area.

Epithermal Gold deposition is generally limited to between 100 and 400 metres below ground surface (equivalent to temperatures between 180 and 260C in low salinity, low gas systems). The majority of Coromandel gold/silver deposits have depth extents below 200m, with Waihi and Karangahake being the exceptions, extending to over 700m.

The Klondyke tenement (EPA53464) was acquired from the previous Prospecting Permit holder (RJY Consulting) for the payment of NZ\$ 5,000. A further payment of 10 million Renison shares will occur on the granting of the Exploration Permit. RJY Consulting will then earn a 0.75% Net Smelter Royalty on production from the tenement. The Waitekauri tenement (EPA53469) has recently become available and Renison's only cost to date has been the application fee (NZ\$2,551).

Review of Financial Condition

Capital structure

During the period the Company issued 464 million ordinary shares in relation to the payment of \$1.755 million of interest on the March 2012 convertible notes. A call on 31 January 2011, in accordance with the existing call program, on its issued partly paid shares of 0.5 cents per partly paid share raised \$0.445 million for the Company. The call on the partly paid shares was not paid in relation to 63,449,872 shares. These shares were auctioned on 14 March 2011. None of the 63,449,872 shares that were auctioned were sold. Accordingly the forfeited shares will be held by the company in trust pending disposal by the directors in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Company's constitution. These shares have been disclosed as Treasury shares in Note 19 to the attached financial report. In addition the company issued 33.33 million shares to settle a liability of \$100,000 and 8.069 million shares in relation to the acquisition of a new tenement.

At 30 June 2011, the Company had 2,510 million ordinary shares, 152.5 million partly paid ordinary shares (paid to 8.6 cents with 16.4 cents to pay) and 44.9 million \$0.33 March 2012 convertible notes on issue.

Treasury policy

The Company does not have a formally established treasury function. The Board is responsible for managing the Company's currency risks and finance facilities.

Liquidity and funding

Following the failure of GBS Gold in September 2008 and the Company having to write off a receivable of \$27 million the Company has been supported by a loan facility provided by the Chairman of the Company while it seeks to raise funds by the sale of interests in the exploration assets still owned by the Company.

Dividends

No dividend was paid during the year and none is recommended as at 30 June 2011.

Significant Changes in the State of Affairs

There were no significant changes in the State of Affairs of the Consolidated Entity during the year.

Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2011, that has significantly affected, or, may significantly affect the operations of the Consolidated Entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2011.

Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations

There are no developments of which the directors are aware which could be expected to affect the results of the Consolidated Entity's operations in subsequent financial years other than information which the directors believe comment on or disclosure of, would prejudice the interests of the Consolidated Entity.

Environmental Regulation and Performance

The Company held authorisations under various exploration licences. There have been no known breaches of the authorisation or licence conditions.

REMUNERATION REPORT

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the directors and key management personnel of Renison Consolidated Mines NL (the Company).

Remuneration Policy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its directors and executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and the executive team. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team. Such officers are given the opportunity to receive their base emolument in a variety of forms including cash, equity and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payments chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. Further details on the remuneration of directors and executives are set out in this Remuneration Report.

The Company aims to reward the executive directors and key management personnel with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company. The Board's policy is to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering long-term incentives.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director and key management personnel remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

The Company's specific policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of board members of the Company is as follows:

  • The Constitution of the Company provides that the non-executive directors are entitled to remuneration as determined by the Company in general meeting to be apportioned among them in such manner as the directors agree and, in default of agreement, equally. The aggregate remuneration currently determined by the Company is \$200,000 per annum. Additionally, non-executive directors will be entitled to be reimbursed for properly incurred expenses.
  • If a non-executive director performs extra services, which in the opinion of the directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of the director, the Company may remunerate that director by payment of a fixed sum determined by the directors in addition to or instead of the remuneration referred to above. A non-executive director is entitled to be paid travelling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending director's or general meetings of the Company or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company.

Executive Director and Key Management Personnel Remuneration

The Company aims to reward the executive directors and key management personnel with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:

  • reward executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;
  • align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;
  • link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and
  • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

The remuneration of the executive directors and key management personnel may from time to time be fixed by the board. The remuneration will comprise a fixed remuneration component and also may include offering specific short and long-term incentives, in the form of:

  • performance based salary increases and/or bonuses; and/or
  • the issue of options

Employment Contracts

It is the Board's policy that employment agreements are entered into with all executive directors, executives and employees. No current employment contracts contain early termination clauses. All non-executive directors have contracts of employment.

Stephen Bizzell is engaged as Executive Chairman. Agreement is a consultancy style agreement for the provision of services as executive director. Services are invoiced at a weekly rate of \$2,320.

Mr Kevin Grice is engaged as acting CEO and CFO. His contract provides for a fixed salary of \$225,000 plus superannuation at 9%.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The board of directors of Renison Consolidated Mines NL is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of Renison Consolidated Mines NL on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

Renison Consolidated Mines NL's Corporate Governance Statement is structured with reference to the Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX") Corporate Governance Council's (the "Council") "Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, 2nd Edition", which are as follows:

Principle 1 Lay solid foundations for management and oversight Principle 2 Structure the board to add value Principle 3 Promote ethical and responsible decision making Principle 4 Safeguard integrity in financial reporting Principle 5 Make timely and balanced disclosure Principle 6 Respect the rights of shareholders Principle 7 Recognise and manage risk Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly

Given the size of the Company and the number of Board members the Company is not in a position to be fully compliant with the Council's best practice recommendations. The Company's current policies do not meet the recommended practices in the following areas due to the board currently consisting of only three directors one of whom is the executive chairman.

ASX Principles and recommendations Summary of the Company's Position
Principle 2 – Structure the board to add value
Recommendation 2.2 – The chair should be an
independent director
The chairman of the company is not an independent
director as he is both a substantial shareholder in the
company and undertakes an executive director role in
the company.
Recommendation 2.4 – The board should establish a
nomination committee
Due to the size and scale of operations, Renison does
not
have
a
separately
established
nomination
committee. The Board currently performs the functions
of a nomination committee and where necessary will
seek advice of external advisors in relation to this role.
Principle 4 – Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
Recommendation 4.2 – The audit committee should
be structured so that it:
-
Consists only of non-executive directors
-
Consists of a majority of independent directors
-
Is chaired by an independent chair, who is not
chair of the board
-
Has at least 3 members
During the 2010/11 financial year the full board was
also the audit committee.
It currently meets all the
recommendations
except
it
does
not
meet
the
recommendation that the committee consists of only
non-executive directors as one of the directors SG
Bizzell is not a non-executive director.
Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk
Recommendation 7.2 – The board should require
management to design and implement the risk
management and internal control system to manage
the company's material business risks and report to it
While the design and implementation of a basic risk
management and internal control system is in place, a
formal report as to the effectiveness of the management
of the Company's material business risks has not been

on whether those risks are being managed effectively. The board should disclose that management has reported to it as to the effectiveness of the company's management of its material business risks.

provided to the board, and is not considered necessary at this stage for the size and nature of the Company's current activities.

Principle 8 - Remunerate fairly and responsibly
Recommendation 8.1 – The board should establish a Due to the size and scale of operations, Renison does
remuneration committee not
have
a
separately
established
nomination
committee. The Board currently performs the functions

the

Remuneration Report included in the Directors Report.

Structure of the Board

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors' Report. Directors are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgment.

In the context of director independence, "materiality" is considered from both the company and individual director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively material on the following basis - balance sheet items are material if they have a value of more than 5% of pro-forma net assets and profit and loss items are material if they will have an impact on the current year operating result of 10% or more. Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the Company's loyalty.

In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, SG Bizzell who is a substantial shareholder and an executive if the company is not classified as independent while RS Anthon and DJ Vincent are considered to be independent as at the date of this report. The term in office held by each director in office at the date of this report is as follows:

Name Term in Office
DJ Vincent 4 years
RS Anthon 15 years
SG Bizzell 15 years

There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable directors, in furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company's expense.

Trading Policy

The Board has adopted a policy and procedure on dealing in the Company's securities by Directors, officers and employees which prohibits dealing in the Company's securities when those persons possess inside information, until it has been released to the market and adequate time has passed for this to be reflected in the security's prices. In addition trading is only permitted during certain pre-determined windows.

Diversification

The recruitment and selection processes adopted by the Company ensure that staff and management are selected in a non-discriminatory manner based on merit. The Company values diversity in the organisation. In light of recent amendments to the ASX"s Corporate Governance Principles, the Company intends to formalise its diversity policy and establish suitable diversity targets.

Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The full board now deals with the matters to be covered by the Remuneration and Nomination committee including when necessary, selecting candidates for the position of director.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee operates under a charter approved by the Board. It is the Board's responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the Company. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and the reliability of financial information as well as non-financial considerations such as the benchmarking of operational key performance indicators. The Board has delegated the responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control and ethical standards for the management of the Company to the audit committee.

Qualifications of audit committee members

RS Anthon has been a practicing solicitor for over 20 years and has extensive experience in the area of corporate law. He has been a director of a number of public and private companies. He is the chairman of the audit committee. DJ Vincent is a professional Engineer with post graduate academic qualifications in management and financial services. SG Bizzell is a chartered accountant. For details on the number of meetings of the audit committee held during the year and the attendees at those meetings, refer to the Directors' Report.

Risk Management

The Company has developed a basic framework for risk management and internal compliance and control systems which cover organisational, financial and operational aspects of the Company's affairs. Further detail of the Company's Risk Management policies can be found within the Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter available on the Company's website. As required by Recommendation 7.3, the Board has received written assurances from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the declaration provided by them in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that they system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

Performance

The full Board, in carrying out the functions of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, considers remuneration and nomination issues annually and otherwise as required in conjunction with the regular meetings of the Board. The performance of the individual members of the Board is considered at the regular meetings of the Board. No formal performance evaluation of the directors was undertaken during the year ended 30 June 2011.

Continuous Disclosure Policy

Detailed compliance procedures for ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements have been adopted by the Company. A copy of the Continuous Disclosure Policy can be found within the Company's Corporate Governance Statement on the Company's website in the Corporate Governance section.

Remuneration

It is the Company's objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive team by remunerating Directors and key Executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant and employment market conditions. There is currently no link between the nature and amount of Executive Director's and Officer's emoluments to the Company's financial and operations performance. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are the retention and motivation of key Executives and the attraction of quality management to the Company

For details on the amount of remuneration and all monetary and non-monetary components for each of the five highest paid (Non-Director) Executives during the period, and for all Directors, please refer to the Remuneration Report within the Directors' Report. In relation to the payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments, discretion is exercised by the Board, having regard to the overall performance of Renison and the performance of the individual during the period. The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors themselves and the chief executive officer and the executive team.

Communications

The Company has adopted a Communications Policy aimed at promoting effective communications with shareholders and encouraging shareholder participation at general shareholder meetings. A copy of the policy can be found within the Company's Corporate Governance Statement on the Company's website in the Corporate Governance section. In addition to corporate and project information generally available on the Company's website, in the News & Investor Relations section of the Company's website the following information is made available:

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations, and the Corporations Act 2001. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of Renison Consolidated Mines NL group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed below.

Going concern basis for accounting

The consolidated entity has a net deficiency of assets at 30 June 2011 of \$20,690,944 (2010: \$18,679,623), net current liabilities of \$16,667,457 – including \$14,820,000 in March 2012 convertible notes that at the redemption date the notes and any accrued interest are repayable in cash or at the company's election by the issue of ordinary shares in Renison at the rate of 85% of the 10 day vwap prior to the maturity date - (2010: \$1,646,489) and has incurred losses of \$4,331,980 (2010: \$4,146,702), for the year then ended. These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following:

  • Settlement of \$14,820,000 March 2012 convertible notes and any accrued interest through the issue of ordinary shares in Renison at the rate of 85% of the 10 day vwap prior to the maturity date.
  • Continuation of debt funding. The company has an existing loan facility of \$15 million provided by a director related entity. As at the date of this report there is approximately \$1,100,000 available to be drawn down under this facility. The director who has provided the loan facility has assured the company that the loan will not be called for repayment within the next 12 months. The director has also made a commitment to increase the facility to \$17.2m in the event the company hasn't either completed a sale of assets and/or completed a capital raising by the start of the 2012 calendar year.
  • The realisation of funds from the sale of certain assets. The company is in negotiations to sell some of its exploration assets. As at the date of this report the directors are unable to confirm the success or otherwise of these negotiations.

As a result of the ongoing support from a director of the company and the anticipated successful asset sales the directors believe the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, and accordingly have prepared the financial report on this basis. The going concern basis presumes that funds will be available to finance future operations and that the realisation of assets and liabilities will occur in the normal course of business.

Should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements.

This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern.

Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

A controlled entity is any entity Renison Consolidated Mines NL has the power to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 11 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated entity during the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the consolidated entity. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of the parent entity.

Joint Ventures

The consolidated entity's share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint venture assets are included in the appropriate items of the consolidated financial statements.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the consolidated entity.

Key estimates – impairment

The consolidated entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

Foreign Currencies

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.

Revenue Recognition

Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid.

Sale of minerals: Revenue from the sale of minerals is accrued once the mineral is transported from the minesite to the refinery based upon confirmation from the refinery of the quantity of gold and silver refined.

Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principle outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimate future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying value.

Taxes

Income taxes

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current periods taxable income based on the notional income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

Tax Consolidation Legislation

Renison Consolidated Mines NL and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries entered the tax consolidation regime with effect from 1 July 2004. As a consequence the subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax as separate entities unless the parent entity is in default of its obligations, a default is probable, or the tax amounts relate to taxable income incurred prior to the implementation of the tax consolidation regime. The tax sharing agreement will limit potential liabilities of the subsidiary entities, should Renison Consolidated Mines NL be in default of its obligations. Amounts payable or receivable under such a tax sharing agreement with the parent entity will be recognised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement as tax related amounts receivable or payable. Expenses and revenues arising under the tax sharing agreement will be recognised as income tax expense (revenue). The impact on the income tax expense and results of Renison Consolidated Mines NL is immaterial because of the current tax position of the group.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the assets or as part of the expense item as applicable, and except for receivables and payables which are stated inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cashflows 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.

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

Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating leases

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis.

Finance leases

Leases which effectively transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the consolidated entity are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments. A lease liability of equal value is also recognised. Minimum lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability with the interest expense calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and recognised directly in net profit.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits at call with financial institutions and other highly liquid investments with short periods to maturity which are readily convertible to cash on hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Receivables

All trade receivables are recognised at the amounts receivable as they are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision of doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Loans between companies within the consolidated entity are included in current assets of the Parent entity, except for those with anticipated repayment terms greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective rate interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

The carrying amounts of the loans are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the loan is impaired to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate

Investments and other financial assets

The consolidated entity classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

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

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading which are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term with the intention of making a profit. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the consolidated entity provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective rate interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the consolidated entity's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the consolidated entity commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value though profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investment are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category, including interest and dividend income, are presented in the income statement within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise.

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes, in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences are recognised in profit and loss and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.

When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the income statement as gains and losses from investment securities.

The fair values of quoted investment are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the consolidated entity established fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.

The consolidated entity assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition costs and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit and loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Plant and Equipment

The exploration plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, where depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives for the period the assets are put to productive use. Estimates of remaining useful lives are made on a regular basis for all assets, with annual reassessments for major items. The expected useful lives are as follows:

Major depreciation periods are
- Exploration plant and equipment 7-8 years
- Motor vehicles 5-6 years
- Office and computer equipment 3-8 years

Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure

Costs Carried Forward

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. Such expenditures comprise net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure but does not include overheads or administration expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active or significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.

Amortisation

Capitalised exploration, evaluation, development and construction costs are amortised over the life of the area of interest to which they relate. Amortisation charges are determined on a production output basis. Economically recoverable reserves are reassessed annually to establish any adjustments required to amortisation patterns.

Restoration Costs

Restoration costs that are expected to be incurred are provided for as part of the cost of the exploration, evaluation, development, construction and production phases that give rise to the need for restoration. Accordingly, these costs are recognised gradually over the life of the facility as these phases occur. The costs include obligations relating to reclamation, waste site closure, plant closure and other costs associated with the restoration of the site. In determining the restoration obligations, the entity has assumed no significant changes will occur in the relevant Federal and State legislation in relation to restoration of such mines in the future.

Both for close down and restoration and for environmental clean-up costs, provision is made in the accounting period when the related disturbance occurs, based on the net present value of estimated future costs.

For close down and restoration costs, which include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure, removal of residual materials and remediation of disturbed areas, movements in provision other than the amortisation of the discount, such as those resulting from changes in the cost estimates, lives of operations or discount rates, are capitalised into the carrying amount of development and amortised against future production.

Payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received. Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accruals basis. Trade account payables are usually settled on a 30 day basis.

Borrowings

All loans and convertible notes are measured at the principal amount net of transaction costs incurred. Costs in relation to the convertible notes issued are amortised on a straight line basis over the period from issue of the notes until the redemption date of the notes. Interest is charged as an expense as it accrues.

Contributed Equity

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

Forfeited partly paid shares that are held in trust by the company pending disposal are disclosed as treasury shares.

Employee Benefits

(i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and any vesting sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for nonaccumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.

(ii) Long service leave

The liability for long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and is measured in accordance with (i) above. The liability for long service leave expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(iii) Share-based payments

The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate.

(iv) Employee benefit on-costs

Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised and included in employee benefit liabilities and costs when the employee benefits to which they relate are recognised as liabilities.

Earnings/Loss per Share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of the ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Segment Reporting

The consolidated entity operates in one segment, being the exploration, development, and production of minerals. All of the consolidated entity's areas of operation are currently located in Australia.

Comparatives

When required by Australian Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the income statement.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

The Consolidated Entity adopted the following new Accounting Standard and Interpretations during the period:

  • AASB 2009-5 'Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project. Amendments are made to AASB 5, 8, 101, 107, 117, 118, 136 & 139.'
  • AASB 2009-8 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions'.
  • AASB 2009-10 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Classification of Rights Issues'.
  • Interpretation 19: Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments.

There were no material impacts on the financial statements or performance of the Consolidated Entity.

New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2011 reporting periods. The Consolidated Entity has decided against early adoption of these standards. The Consolidated Entity's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:

AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards

These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. These amendments make numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, which have no major impact on the requirements of the amended pronouncements. The main amendment is to AASB 8 'Operating Segments' and requires an entity to exercise judgement in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain operating segment disclosures. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2011 will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity.

AASB 2010-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards

These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. These amendments makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of International Financial Reporting Standards by the International Accounting Standards Board. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2011 will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments, 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 and 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9

This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and completes phase I of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 (being the international equivalent to AASB 139 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'). This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. To be classified and measured at amortised cost, assets must satisfy the business model test for managing the financial assets and have certain contractual cash flow characteristics. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value. This standard allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income, with dividends as a return on these investments being recognised in profit or loss. In addition, those equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income would no longer have to apply any impairment requirements nor would there be any 'recycling' of gains or losses through profit or loss on disposal. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch. The Consolidated Entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2013 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Consolidated Entity.

AASB 2010-4 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project

These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. These amendments are a consequence of the annual improvements project and make numerous non-urgent but necessary amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations. The amendments provide clarification of disclosures in AASB 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures', in particular emphasis of the interaction between quantitative and qualitative disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instrument; clarifies that an entity can present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes in accordance with AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Instruments'; and provides guidance on the disclosure of significant events and transactions in AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2011 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.

AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (December 2009)

This revised standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. This revised standard simplifies the definition of a related party by clarifying its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies from the definition. The definition now identifies a subsidiary and an associate with the same investor as related parties of each other; entities significantly influenced by one person and entities significantly influenced by a close member of the family of that person are no longer related parties of each other; and whenever a person or entity has both joint control over a second entity and joint control or significant influence over a third party, the second and third entities are related to each other. This revised standard introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirement for government-related entities. The adoption of this standard from 1 July 2011 will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity.

AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets

These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011. These amendments add and amend disclosure requirements in AASB 7 about transfer of financial assets, including the nature of the financial assets involved and the risks associated with them. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2011 will increase the disclosure requirements on the Consolidated Entity when an asset is transferred but is not derecognised and new disclosure required when assets are derecognised but the Consolidated Entity continues to have a continuing exposure to the asset after the sale.

AASB 2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards- Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets

These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 and a practical approach for the measurement of deferred tax relating to investment properties measured at fair value, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured using the revaluation model. The measurement of deferred tax for these specified assets is based on the presumption that the carrying amount of the underlying asset will be recovered entirely through sale, unless the entity has clear evidence that economic benefits of the underlying asset will be consumed during its economic life. The Consolidated Entity is yet to quantify the tax effect of adopting these amendments from 1 July 2012.

AASB 10: 'Consolidated Financial Statements'

This standard replaces the part of AASB 127: 'Consolidated and Separated Financial Statements' and is applicable for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013. This new standard introduces a new definition of control that determines which entities are consolidated. This new definition of control may potentially lead to the consolidation of entities that were not previously included in the Consolidated Group resulting in more assets and liabilities on the books. The Consolidated Group is currently assessing the impact of this standard.

AASB 11: 'Joints Arrangements'

This standard replaces AASB 131: 'Interest in Joint Ventures' and is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. This new standard introduces new rules which classify joint arrangements as either a joint operation or joint venture. Under the new standard, proportionate consolidation is not allowed and all joint ventures must be equity accounted. All joint arrangements held by the Consolidated Group will need to be reassessed to determine whether the joint operation or joint venture classification is appropriate, and therefore the potential impacts of a change on the presentation of the Financial Statements. The Consolidated Group is currently assessing the impact of this standard.

AASB 12: ' Disclosure of interest in other Entities'

This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. This standard clarifies the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles. The Consolidated Group is assessing the impact of this standard.

AASB 13: 'Fair Value Measurement'

This standard establishes a single course of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. The Consolidated Group is currently assessing the impact of this standard.

Tax consolidation

The Company and its 100% owned controlled entities have formed a tax consolidated group. Members of the Consolidated Entity have entered into a tax sharing arrangement in order to allocate income tax expenses to the wholly owned controlled entities on a pro-rata basis. The agreement provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. At balance date, the possibility of default is remote. The head entity of the tax consolidated group is Renison Consolidated Mines NL.

Tax effect accounting by members of the tax consolidated group

Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The tax funding agreement provides for the allocation of current taxes to members of the tax consolidated group. Deferred taxes are allocated to members of the tax consolidated group in accordance with a group allocation approach which is consistent with the principles of AASB 112 Income Taxes. The allocation of taxes under the tax funding agreement is recognised as an increase/decrease in the member entities' intercompany accounts with the tax consolidated group head company, Renison Consolidated Mines NL. In this regard the Company has assumed the benefit of tax losses from the member entities as of the balance date. The nature of the tax funding agreement is such that no tax consolidation contributions by or distributions to equity participants are required.

These shares were put up for auction on 14 March 2011. None of the 63,449,872 shares that were auctioned were sold. Accordingly the forfeited shares will be held by the company in trust pending disposal by the directors in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Company's constitution.

(c) Share Options

There are no share options outstanding.

March 2012 \$0.33 convertible notes on issue can be converted into ordinary shares at the rate of 11 ordinary shares for each \$0.33 Note held.

(d) Capital management

The capital structure of the consolidated entity consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent Entity, comprising issued capital and reserves as disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Equity

When managing capital, management's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern and to maintain a structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available and to ensure adequate capital is available for exploration and evaluation of tenements. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may seek to issue new shares. Consistent with other exploration companies, the Group and the parent entity monitor capital on the basis of forecast exploration and development expenditure required to reach a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of an economically recoverable reserve.

(e) Terms and conditions of contributed equity

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of winding up of the Company, to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of and amounts paid up on share held. Ordinary shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the Company.

Partly paid shares

The Company has on issue partly paid shares which at balance date were paid up to 8.6 cents each with 16.4 cents to pay. The partly paid shares have on a pro rata basis the same rights as held by ordinary shareholders. Call payments are due as follows

29. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment products and locations

Management currently identifies the consolidated entity as having only one reportable segment being the exploration for resources. Geographically the consolidated entity operated only within Australia in the 2011 financial year – exploration tenements have been acquired in New Zealand and these will be subject to exploration activities in the 2012 financial year. There have been no changes in the operating segments during the year. Accordingly all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the consolidated entity as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the consolidated entity as a whole.

32. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(a) General objectives, policies and processes

In common with all other businesses, the consolidated entity is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the consolidated entity's objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. There have been no substantive changes in the consolidated entity's exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.

The consolidated entity's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable, a loan from a director related entity, finance lease liabilities and convertible notes.

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the consolidated entity's risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the consolidated entity's executive management. The consolidated entity's risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the consolidated entity where such impacts may be material.

The overall objective of the Board is to set polices that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the consolidated entity's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below:

(b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Company incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors fail to settle their obligations owing to the Company.

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, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board. It arises from exposure to customers as well as through deposits with financial institutions.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity risk is reviewed regularly by the Board.

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows. The Company has a loan facility from a director of \$15.0 million of which \$13.2 million has been drawn upon as at 30 June 2011. Following the impairment of the receivable in relation to the sale of the Tom's Gully mine the consolidated entity has been required to use the loan facility available in order to be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The consolidated entity has also continued to investigate the sale of some of its exploration assets but to date no transaction at a satisfactory value has been forthcoming.

(d) Market Risk

Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing, tradable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk).

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate debt. For further details on interest rate risk refer to the tables below:

The consolidated entity has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk. This sensitivity demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.

At 30 June 2011 the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate would be as follows:

Consolidated entity
2011 2010
\$ \$
Change in profit
- Increase in interest rate by 1% - -
- Decrease in interest rate by 1% - -
Change in equity
- Increase in interest rate by 1% - -
- Decrease in interest rate by 1% - -

The above analysis assumes all other variables remain constant.

(ii) Currency Risk

The consolidated entity does not have any material currency risk exposure under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity.

(iii) Other Price Risk

The consolidated entity does not have any material other price risk exposures under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity.

(e) Net Fair Values

The net fair values of trade and other receivables, security deposits and trade and other payables approximate their carrying value.
