Diamond core drilling at the Desert Dragon nickel prospect in June 2014
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Annual Report of St George Mining Limited for the financial year ended 30 June 2014.
This has been a landmark year for your Company with St George taking 100% control and ownership of the nickel rights at the East Laverton Property following the end of the Project Dragon farm‐in arrangement.
During May 2013, BHP Billiton Nickel West exercised its right to proceed to Stage One of the farm‐in arrangement at Project Dragon. In October 2013, our former partner withdrew from the farm‐in, relinquishing all interests in the East Laverton Property and handing to St George an exploration database compiled from almost \$3m of expenditure.
The Company now has 100% ownership of an emerging nickel mineral field, securing all the upside of any new nickel sulphide discoveries for our shareholders.
St George has assembled a highly qualified technical team with a proven track record of nickel sulphide discoveries, and is actively exploring our large tenement holding that encompasses three extensive ultramafic belts.
The highly prospective nickel targets generated by Project Dragon were incorporated into the Company's portfolio of nickel sulphide prospects, allowing for the execution of a systematic and comprehensive exploration programme across the entire Project.
The 2014 nickel sulphide drilling campaign commenced in May 2014 and will include the test drilling of electromagnetic (EM) conductors identified at our highest priority nickel sulphide prospects.
St George successfully completed over‐subscribed capital raisings in December 2013 and May 2014, demonstrating the strong market support for the Company's nickel exploration model.
The Company is now recognised as a prominent and respected Australian nickel sulphide explorer, and is well positioned for exploration success.
John Prineas Executive Chairman
EAST LAVERTON PROPERTY (100% ST GEORGE)
St George Consolidates 100% Ownership of Nickel Rights
On 3 October 2013, St George Mining consolidated 100% ownership and control of the nickel rights for all tenements at the East Laverton Property following termination of the Project Dragon farm‐in arrangement.
Following successful exploration results in the 2012 reconnaissance drilling programme, our former partner in Project Dragon (BHP Billiton Nickel West Pty Ltd) exercised an option on 29 May 2013 to proceed to Stage One of the Project Dragon farm‐in. Prior to conducting any further field exploration, our partner withdrew from the farm‐in on 3 October 2013.
Our former partner then agreed to relinquish all interests in the nickel rights at the East Laverton Property, handed over its exploration database and made a cash payment of \$270,000 to St George.
The highly prospective nickel targets discovered by Project Dragon are now wholly owned by St George Mining and have been included in the Company's exploration portfolio, giving our shareholders 100% exposure to all new discoveries at East Laverton.
The tenement consolidation at the East Laverton Property has not only unified prospects split by tenement boundaries, but has also created important synergies and cost efficiencies for ongoing exploration. This has enabled St George to implement a new nickel exploration strategy that encompasses the best nickel prospects across the consolidated property and maximises the opportunity for exploration success.
Emerging Nickel Province
A significant amount of exploration work was completed during the Project Dragon farm‐in arrangement, including an initial drilling programme of 35 RC (reverse circulation) drill holes for a total of 8,560 metres. Drilling was completed at 7 nickel targets and on each of the three ultramafic belts.
The initial and very significant results from the Project Dragon exploration was that the drilling demonstrated compositional similarities between the komatiites at the East Laverton Property and those of the Agnew‐ Wiluna nickel belt. The Agnew Wiluna ultramafic belt is the most significant nickel belt in Western Australia and hosts a number of world class nickel sulphide deposits including the Perseverance, Mt Keith and Cosmos nickel camps.
The specialised ultramafic rocks of the Agnew‐Wiluna belt are derived from a very high temperature, magnesium‐rich parental magma. Reconnaissance drilling at East Laverton has shown similar large scale and thick occurrences of these highly favourable ultramafic sequences.
The close association of these ultramafic sequences with sulphur‐rich felsic volcanics and sulphide‐rich sediments, which indicate the presence of a local sulphur source, are additional and important features observed at East Laverton. They are fundamental requirements for the formation of economic nickel sulphide mineralisation.
The combination of the high temperature MgO‐rich ultramafic rocks, along with the widespread presence of magmatic nickel and PGE sulphides, emphasises the rare and significant nature of St George's nickel project at East Laverton, and its potential to become a new nickel province.

High Priority Nickel Prospects
St George has established a portfolio of high priority nickel prospects at the East Laverton Property and these are being fast tracked for drill testing. These key targets are shown in Figure 2.
Each of these prospects has the potential for a significant nickel discovery. In addition, there are several other very prospective but less advanced areas of interest within the East Laverton Property which will generate more quality nickel sulphide prospects over time.
The Company has engaged Newexco Services, as geophysical advisers for our nickel exploration.
Newexco have been designing, managing and interpreting the results of a regional scale moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) survey at the East Laverton Property. This extensive survey has initially focussed on the more advanced nickel prospects and has been successful in identifying quality EM conductors, potentially representative of nickel sulphide deposits.
The MLEM survey has covered approximately 80 line kilometres to date, and is continuing. This systematic exploration of the extensive ultramafic belts at the East Laverton Property, which have already been demonstrated to host nickel sulphides, is an effective way to maximise the opportunities for a significant discovery.

Drilling Campaign
St George completed a short drilling programme at the Desert Dragon nickel prospect in December 2013 near a previous nickel sulphide intersection in drill hole DRAC35 (18m @ 0.40% Ni).
The three completed diamond core holes ‐ DDD01, DDD002 and DDD003 ‐ intersected multiple, thick ultramafic units with high levels of sulphur. This is a favourable geological setting for the presence of massive sulphide nickel mineralisation. The down‐hole electromagnetic (DHEM) survey completed on these drill holes identified strong off‐hole anomalies.
The EM conductors, illustrated in Figure 3, remain to be tested. Lithogeochemical analysis has effectively directed the need for further exploration to the south/southwest of DRAC035 and DDD001. Follow‐up activities are being planned.

Figure 3 ‐ the DHEM conductors are co‐incident with a strong magnetic anomaly identified by the Total Magnetic Intensity First Vertical Derivative (1VD) survey.
The 2014 nickel sulphide drilling campaign commenced on 27 May 2014, with 3,667 metres of RC and diamond drilling completed. Assays for this drilling programme are pending, with geological logging of the core indicating that 13 of the 15 completed holes intersected komatiites ultramafics, including very thick intervals. Figure 4 illustrates the location of the completed drill holes.
Importantly, the drill holes encountered extensive sulphide accumulations, confirming the sulphide‐rich mineral system at the East Laverton Property. All drill holes that tested EM conductors intersected massive sulphide zones, some with anomalous levels of nickel, copper, zinc and chromium (based on XRF analysis). The metal‐rich nature of the sediments suggests these are exhalative sediments associated with volcanic vents and highlight the previously observed VMS (volcanic massive sulphide) potential of the East Laverton Property.
Preliminary results from Phase 1 of the 2014 drilling campaign further demonstrate that the key criteria for massive nickel sulphides are present at East Laverton, including high‐MgO komatiites and an abundant sulphur source. This re‐affirms the potential for East Laverton to host massive nickel sulphides.

Figure 4 – a map of the tenement package at the East Laverton Property with diamond drill holes from Phase 1 of the 2014 nickel sulphide drilling campaign
Phase 2 of the 2014 nickel sulphide drilling campaign is planned to commence in October 2014. This drilling programme will focus on new EM targets identified by the ongoing MLEM survey as well as follow‐up drilling at existing targets where DHEM results and assay results indicate that further testing is warranted.
VMS Prospect
Drill hole DDD011, completed in Phase 1 of the 2014 drilling campaign, encountered an interval of highly anomalous zinc and copper sulphide mineralisation from 72m to 87m (down the hole) based on XRF analysis. The high values are associated with visible sulphide bands in non‐ultramafic rocks.
The geochemical profile, including zones of Mg‐rich chlorite and certain rare earth element ratios, are consistent with the marginal facies of a VMS (volcanic massive sulphide) system. Exhalative sediments, consistent with a VMS system, have previously been identified at the East Laverton Property and the potential for VMS deposits has been noted.
Further evaluation of this exciting new prospect will be completed once laboratory assays for DD011 are received, including an assessment of the broader potential for VMS deposits across the East Laverton Property.
Other Exploration at East Laverton
St George has identified attractive prospects at the East Laverton Property for gold and rare earths.
A number of gold prospects continue to be evaluated by the Company, including the flagship Balmoral gold prospect, where soil geochemistry as well as closed spaced magnetics and gravity work support the presence of a large‐scale, zoned hydrothermal gold system.
The East Laverton Property is bounded by major gold fields with landmark deposits – Sunrise Dam to the west, Tropicana to the east and Yamarna (Gold Road, ASX: GOR) to the north; see Figure 5.
The Red Dragon rare earths prospect is believed to be a large Paleoproterozoic carbonatite‐REE mineral system that was detected by regional soil geochemical surveys, and validated in three‐dimensions by drilling. RC Drilling at Red Dragon during 2013 showed geochemically anomalous levels of heavy (HREE) and light (LREE) rare earth elements. Further evaluation of this prospect is ongoing.
LAKE MINIGWAL PROJECT (100% ST GEORGE)
The Company's Lake Minigwal tenements cover a strong cluster of highly anomalous gold responses on a concealed and previously unexplored greenstone belt, which was identified by a regional geochemical survey conducted by the GSWA (Geological Survey of Western Australia).
St George believes the Lake Minigwal Project hosts a large area of concealed greenstone that extend northwards from the Wongatha and Minigwal greenstones that host the nickel sulphide mineralisation at the Mulga Tank nickel project. This Lake Minigwal Project is prospective for gold and nickel sulphide mineralisation. Figure 5 illustrates the location of the Project, to the south‐east of the East Laverton Property.
A geochemical soil survey and a gravity survey were initiated this year at the Project area. The existing GSWA soil survey is based on a 4 km grid. The new soil survey has a grid of 1 km x 500 m and is designed to test for a repetition of the high value gold anomalies identified by the GSWA survey. A further closer‐spaced survey will test the area around the most highly anomalous gold geochemical sample. The gravity survey will test the density of the rocks at the project area and will help to map the concealed greenstones and alteration patterns.
Further exploration, including test drilling, will be considered after evaluation of the soil and gravity survey results.

PINE CREEK PROPERTY
The Company entered into a Deed of Surrender and Release on 30 June 2014 pursuant to which it ceased to have any interest in the Pine Creek Project. Under the Deed, the Company's option to acquire an 80% interest in EL27732 was terminated. The Company also agreed to relinquish its rights under the additional tenements comprised in the Pine Creek Property.
Although St George believes that the Pine Creek Property may be prospective for gold mineralisation, the project remains at a very early stage of exploration. The Company wishes to focus its available funding on the advanced exploration targets at the East Laverton Property, and the Lake Minigwal Project which has strong synergies with the East Laverton Property.
XRF ANALYSIS
References to XRF results relate to analysis using a hand‐held Olympus Innov‐X Spectrum Analyser. This portable device provides immediate analysis of modal mineralogy of drill samples. The device is unable to reliably detect precious metals in samples but is considered to be more reliable for base metal assessment.
Unless otherwise stated, values determined by XRF analysis are based on one spot reading per one metre of drill core. As such, results from XRF analysis are stated as indicative only and are preliminary to subsequent confirmation by geochemical analysis at SGS Laboratories.
The XRF data is useful in assisting in the interpretation of the geological character of the rocks being encountered during drilling. The data may not be representative of the actual metal content in that sample.
CORPORATE
During the financial year, the Company completed two capital raisings. On 6 December 2013, the Company completed a placement of ordinary shares to sophisticated investors to raise a total of \$825,000 through the issue of 7,500,000 shares at \$0.11 each.
On 22 May 2014, the Company completed a further placement of ordinary shares to sophisticated investors to raise a total of \$1,175,430 through the issue of 9,795,250 shares at \$0.12 each.
At the same time, the Company received commitments for the placement of an additional 3,050,001 shares at \$0.12 each subject to shareholder approval to raise \$366,000. This placement was completed after the balance date following a General Meeting of the Company held on 10 July 2014 which approved the additional placement.
Following the placement in May 2014, the Company had 89,276,250 ordinary shares on issue. After the additional placement in July 2014, the Company had 92,326,251 ordinary shares on issue.

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED
Remuneration policy
The remuneration policy of St George Mining Limited has been designed to align directors' objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component, which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates. The Board of St George Mining Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors to run and manage the Company.
The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members is as follows:
The remuneration policy and setting the terms and conditions for the Executive directors and other senior staff members is developed and approved by the Board based on local and international trends among comparative companies and industry generally. It examines terms and conditions for employee incentive schemes, benefit plans and share plans. Independent advice is obtained when considered necessary to
confirm that executive remuneration is in line with market practice and is reasonable within Australian executive reward practices.
- All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation.
- The Group is an exploration entity, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. Consistent with attracting and retaining talented executives, directors and senior executives are paid market rates associated with individuals in similar positions within the same industry. Options and performance incentives may be issued particularly as the entity moves from an exploration to a producing entity and key performance indicators such as profit and production and reserves growth can be used as measurements for assessing executive performance.
- The Board policy is to remunerate non‐executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Executive Directors, in consultation with independent advisors, determine payments to the non‐executives and review their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non‐executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and is currently \$150,000 per annum. Fees for independent non‐executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. To align Directors' interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.

| J Prineas | Executive Chairman | 19 October 2009 | Not Applicable |
| T Hronsky | Executive Director | 25 November 2009 | Not Applicable |
| M Michael | Non‐Executive Director | 19 October 2009 | Not Applicable |
The Company does not have any executives that are not Directors.
Executive Directors' remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually by the non‐executive director(s) having regard to performance against goals set at the start of the year, relative comparable information and independent expert advice.
Except as detailed in the Director's Report, no director has received or become entitled to receive, during or since the financial year end, a benefit because of a contract made by the Group or a related body corporate with a director, a firm of which a director is a member or an entity in which a director has a substantial financial interest. This statement excludes a benefit included in the aggregate amount of emoluments received or due and receivable by directors and shown in the Remuneration Report, prepared in accordance with the Corporations Regulations, or the fixed salary of a full time employee of the Group.

1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of St George Mining Limited ("St George Mining" or "the Company") for the year ended 30 June 2014 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 20 August 2014.
St George Mining Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated in Australia on 19 October 2009. The consolidated financial statements of the Company for year ended 30 June 2014 comprise of the Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the Group or consolidated entity.
The nature of the operations and principal activity of the Group is mineral exploration.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Preparation of the Financial Report
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law. The financial report also complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. The following accounting policies have been adopted by the consolidated entity.
Going Concern
The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Consolidated Entity has recorded a net accounting loss of \$1,893,880 and net operating cash outflows of \$1,464,830 for the year ended 30 June 2014.
The Directors have determined that future equity raisings or debt financing arrangements will be required to assist funding of the Company's activities to meet the Company's objectives. The Directors are investigating a number of options in respect of equity and debt financing arrangements. There is no certainty that these will be successfully completed to provide adequate working capital for the Company.
The Board however is confident, subject to the successful completion of future equity raisings or debt financing arrangements, that the Group will have sufficient funds to finance its operations in the 2014/2015 Financial Year.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent St George Mining Limited and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 23.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries
have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as "non controlling interests". The Group initially recognises non‐controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non‐controlling interests' proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non‐controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non‐controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.
(c) Business combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (i.e. parent entity). The business combination will be accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.
The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non‐controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre‐existing holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.
Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the statement of comprehensive income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.
(d) Adoption of new and revised standards
The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2013.
- AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements;
- AASB 11: Joint Arrangements;
- AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities;
- AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement;
- AASB 119: Employee Benefits; and
- AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements
Accounting Standard and Interpretation
AASB 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements' and AASB 2011‐7 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards'
AASB 10 replaces the parts of AASB 127 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements' that deal with consolidated financial statements and provides a revised definition of "control" such that an investor controls an investee when:
- a) it has power over an investee;
- b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
- c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
All three of these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. This may result in an entity having to consolidate an investee that was not previously consolidated and/or deconsolidate an investee that was consolidated under the previous accounting pronouncements.
There have been no changes to the treatment of investees compared to prior year.
AASB 11 'Joint Arrangements' and AASB 2011‐7 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards'
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 'Interests in Joint Ventures. AASB 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified and accounted for. Under AASB 11, there are only two types of joint arrangements – joint operations and joint ventures. The classification of joint arrangements under AASB 11 is determined based on the rights and obligations of parties to the joint arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form of the arrangements, the contractual terms agreed by the parties to the arrangement, and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances.
Application of this standard has not impacted on the financial statements of the Group.
AASB 12 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities' and AASB 2011‐7 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards'
AASB 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the application of AASB 12 has resulted in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
AASB 13 'Fair Value Measurement' and AASB 2011‐8 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13'
The Group has applied AASB 13 for the first time in the current year. AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of AASB 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of AASB 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non‐ financial instrument items for which other AASBs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except for share based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB
2 'Share‐based Payment', leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117 'Leases', and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment purposes).
AASB 119 'Employee Benefits' (2011) and AASB 2011‐10 'Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (2011)'
AASB 119 (as revised in 2011) changes the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The most significant change relates to the accounting for changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets. The amendments require the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminate the 'corridor approach' permitted under the previous version of AASB 119 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs.
All actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus.
Application is AASB 119 Employee Benefits has not impacted on the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014.
(e) Statement of compliance
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("AIFRS"). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
(f) Income Tax
Current income tax refunded/(expensed) charged to profit or loss is tax refundable/(payable). Those amounts recognised are expected to be recovered from/(paid to) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:
- except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither that accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and,
- in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all the deductible temporary differences, carry‐forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry‐forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:
except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and,
in respect of deductible temporary differences with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint ventures, deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are not in the income statement.
(g) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure on areas of interest are expensed as incurred. Costs of acquisition will normally be expensed but will be assessed on a case by case basis and may be capitalised to areas of interest and carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated acquisition costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future. Where projects have advanced to the stage that directors have made a decision to mine, they are classified as development properties. When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of a development property, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the cost of that development property only when substantial future economic benefits are established. Otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production or written off where production has not commenced.
(h) Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short‐term deposits in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short‐term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
For the purposes of the consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(j) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from
wages and salaries and annual leave which will be settled after one year, have measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on‐costs. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated cash outflows to be made to those benefits.
Contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.
(k) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Deprecation is calculated on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
Plant and equipment – 3 to 7 years
The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
(l) Impairment of assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value; less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash‐ generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash‐generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash‐generating unit is considered impaired and it is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre‐ tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systemic basis over its remaining useful life.
(m) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net loss attributable to members of the Company, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
(n) Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office ("ATO"). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Cash Flows are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows net of GST. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financial activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
(o) Investments
All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment.
After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as held for trading and available‐for‐sale, are measured at fair value. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in the consolidated profit or loss.
Gains or losses on available‐for‐sale investments are recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the profit or loss.
(p) Financial assets
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred and no longer controlled by the entity. A financial liability is removed from the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Financial assets and financial liabilities classified as held for trading are measured at fair value through the profit or loss.
Upon initial recognition a financial asset or financial liability is designated as at fair value through the profit or loss when:
- (a) an entire contract containing one or more embedded derivatives is designated as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through the profit or loss;
- (b) doing so results in more relevant information, because either:
- (i) it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on different bases; or
- (ii) a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis to key management personnel.
Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are not designated as at fair value through the profit or loss.
A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability classified as at fair value through the profit or loss is recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial assets not measured at fair value comprise:
- (a) loans and receivables being non‐derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method;
- (b) held‐to‐maturity investments being non‐derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that will be held to maturity. These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method; and
- (c) investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be reliably measured. These are measured at cost together with derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by the delivery of such investments.
Available‐for‐sale financial assets are non‐derivative financial assets, which are designated as available‐for‐sale or that are not classified as loans and receivables, held‐to‐maturity investments or financial assets as at fair value through the profit and loss.
A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of an available‐for‐sale financial asset is recognised directly in equity, through the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity (except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains or losses) until the financial asset is derecognised at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is recognised in the profit or loss.
Regular way purchases of financial assets are accounted for as follows:
- financial assets held for trading at trade date
- held‐to‐maturity investments at trade date
- loans and receivables at trade date
- available‐for‐sale financial assets at trade date
Except for the following all financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method:
- (a) financial liabilities at fair value through the profit and loss and derivatives that are liabilities measured at fair value;
- (b) financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of financial asset does not qualify for de‐recognition or are accounted for using the continuing involvement approach.
The amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus cumulative amortisation of any difference between the initial amount and maturity amount and minus any write‐down for impairment or un‐collectability.
(q) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares and options are classified as contributed equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(r) Significant accounting estimates and judgements
The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:
Deferred taxation
The potential deferred tax asset arising from the tax losses and temporary differences have not been recognised as an asset because recovery of the tax losses is not yet considered probable (refer note 5).
Subsidiary Loans
Provision has been made for all unsecured loans with subsidiaries as it is uncertain if and when the loans will be recovered.
Capitalised exploration costs
The application of the Group's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgement in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits are likely, either from future exploration or sale, or where activities have not reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment.
(s) Comparative information
Comparative information is amended where appropriate to ensure consistency in presentation with the current year.

There are 100 Performance Shares (convertible into a maximum of 10,000,000 Shares) on issue at 30 June 2014, having the terms and conditions set out below:
General terms attaching to the Performance Shares are set out below:
- (a) Performance Shares: Each Performance Share is a share in the capital of the Company.
- (b) General Meetings: The Performance Shares shall confer on the holder (Holder) the right to receive notices of general meetings and financial reports and accounts of the Company that are circulated to shareholders. Holders have the right to attend general meetings of shareholders of the Company.
- (c) No Voting Rights: The Performance Shares do not entitle the Holder to vote on any resolutions proposed at a general meeting of shareholders of the Company, subject to any voting rights under the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules where such rights cannot be excluded by these terms.
- (d) No Dividend Rights: The Performance Shares do not entitle the Holder to any dividends.
- (e) Rights on Winding Up: Upon winding up of the Company, the Performance Shares may participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company only to the extent, and on the basis that each Performance Share has converted into one (1) Share.
-
(f) Transfer of Performance Shares: Prior to the Company being admitted to the Official List of the ASX, the Performance Shares are transferable. In the event the Company is admitted to the Official List of the ASX, the Performance Shares will no longer be transferable.
-
(g) Reorganisation of Capital: In the event that the Company is admitted to the Official List of the ASX and the issued capital of the Company is subsequently reconstructed, all rights of a Holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules at the time of reorganisation.
- (h) Application to ASX: The Performance Shares will not be quoted on ASX. In the event that the Company is admitted to the Official List of the ASX, upon conversion of the Performance Shares into Shares in accordance with these terms, the Company must within seven (7) days after the conversion, apply for the official quotation on ASX of the Shares arising from the conversion.
- (i) Participation in Entitlements and Bonus Issues: Holders of Performance Shares will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of the Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.
- (j) Amendments required by ASX: The terms of the Performance Shares may be amended as necessary by the directors of the Company in order to comply with the ASX Listing Rules, or any directions of ASX regarding the terms.
- (k) No Other Rights: The Performance Shares give the Holders no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.
Conversion of the Performance Shares
- (a) Conversion of Performance Shares: Each Performance Share will convert into 100,000 Shares upon the first to occur of the following events (each a Milestone):
- (i) a Company Project attains a measured JORC Code compliant inferred resource of at least 1,000,000 ounces of Gold;
- (ii) a Company Project attains a measured JORC Code compliant inferred resource of at least 50,000 tonnes contained Nickel;
- (iii) the market capitalisation of the Company is greater than \$50 million for a minimum of 30 consecutive trading days, based upon the volume weighted average price of Shares quoted on the ASX;
- (iv) a Company Project (or any part of it) is sold for a value of at least \$25 million (in cash and/or assets of equivalent value); or
- (v) a joint venture arrangement is entered into for a Company Project and payments of at least \$25 million (in cash and/or assets of equivalent value) are paid to Company as part of that arrangement. For these purposes, a "Company Project" means: "any project in which the Company has an ownership interest (or an option to acquire an ownership interest) as at the date the Company is admitted to the Official List of the ASX."
- (b) Conversion if Milestone not Achieved: If a Milestone is not achieved on or prior to the date which is 5 years after the date the Company is admitted to the Official List of the ASX being 12 November 2010 (Performance Share Expiry Date), then each Performance Share will automatically convert into one (1) Share.
-
(c) After Conversion: The Shares issued on conversion of the Performance Shares will, as and from 5.00pm (WST) on the date of allotment, rank equally with and confer rights identical with all other Shares then on issue and application will be made by the Company to ASX for official quotation of the Shares issued upon conversion.
-
(d) Conversion Procedure: The Company will issue the Holder with a new holding statement for the Shares as soon as practicable following the conversion of the Performance Shares into the Shares.
- (e) Ranking of Shares: The Shares into which the Performance Shares will convert will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares on issue at the date of conversion. 55 Performance shares are held by entities associated with the Directors. The remaining Performance shares are held by foundation shareholders, whose interest in the Company at the date the performance shares were issued, being 16 November 2010 are as follows:
| Foundation Shareholder | Shares | Performance Shares (i) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Impulzive Pty Ltd | 6,962,491 | 30 | ||
| St Barnabas Investments Pty Ltd <st< td=""> | 2,222,222 | 15 | 2,222,222 | 15 |
| Barnabas Superannuation Fund> |
(i) On satisfaction of certain milestones events set out above, each Performance Share converts into 100,000 shares in which case Impulzive Pty Ltd would become entitled to 3,000,000 further shares and St Barnabas Investments Pty Ltd 1,500,000 further shares.

19 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Interest Rate Risk
The Group's exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the financial instrument's value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on those financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:
| 2014 | Note | Floating interest rate |
Fixed interest rate |
Non‐ interest bearing |
Total | Weighted average interest rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| \$ | \$ | \$ | \$ | % | ||
| Financial assets | ||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 15(a) | 737,871 | ‐ | 523,788 | 1,261,659 | 2.54% |
| Trade and other receivables | 8(a) | ‐ | ‐ | 101,091 | 101,091 | NIL |
| Security bond | ‐ | ‐ | 1,000 | 1,000 | ‐ | |

| Trade and other payables | 11 | ‐ | ‐ | 522,693 | 522,693 | Nil |
| ‐ | ‐ | 522,693 | 522,693 |
Based on the balances at 30 June 2014 a 1% movement in interest rates would increase/decrease the loss for the year before taxation by \$7,378 (2013: \$8,534).
(b) Credit Risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any allowance for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial report.
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the Group.
(c) Net Fair Values
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements represent their respective net fair value and is determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in note 2 to the financial statements.
(d) Financial Risk Management
The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with recognised banks, investment in bank bills up to 90 days, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Liquidity is managed, when sufficient funds are available, by holding sufficient funds in a current account to service current obligations and surplus funds invested in bank bills. The directors analyse interest rate exposure and evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. The main risks the Group is exposed to is through its financial instruments is the depository banking institution itself, holding the funds, and interest rates. The Group's credit risk is minimal as being an exploration Company, it has no significant financial assets other than cash and term deposits.
(e) Foreign Currency Risk
The Group is not exposed to any foreign currency risk as at 30 June 2014.
(f) Market Price Risk
The Group is not exposed to market price risk as it does not have any investments other than an interest in the subsidiaries.
20 RELATED PARTIES
The Group has no related parties other than the 100% owned subsidiaries disclosed in note 23. At 30 June 2014 balances due from the subsidiaries were:
| Australian Dollar (\$) | 30 JUNE 2014 | 30 JUNE 2013 |

These amounts comprise of funds provided by the parent company for exploration activities.
21 SEGMENT REPORTING
For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating segment, which involves the exploration of minerals in Australia. All of the Group's activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment.
The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole.
The accounting policies applied for internal reporting purposes are consistent with those applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
22 JOINT VENTURES
The Group recognises that joint ventures are a key mechanism for sharing of risk on individual exploration projects. Where appropriate for a particular project, the Group will consider a joint venture with a suitable party in order to share the exploration risk. Those funds otherwise set aside for the project will be employed to advance another project.
Pine Creek Property: The Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Thunder Resources Pty Ltd, entered into an Option Agreement with James Ian Stewart and Geotech International Pty Ltd (jointly, the "Vendor") whereby the Group acquired an option to purchase an 80% interest in the tenement application EL27732 which has been made by the Vendor.
The Company entered into a Deed of Surrender and Release on 30 June 2014 pursuant to which it ceased to have any interest in the Pine Creek project.

25 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable for annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2017)
AASB 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under AASB 9, financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. The 2010 revisions introduce additional changes relating to financial liabilities.
The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the comment on hedge accounting below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting.
Key changes made to this standard that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the Group's financial instruments, it is impractical at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.
Other standards not yet applicable
These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods.

This declaration has been made after receiving the declarations required to be made to the directors in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 for the financial year ended 30 June 2014.
Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors made pursuant to section 295(5) of the Corporations Act 2001.
On behalf of the Board
John Prineas Executive Chairman
Dated 20 August 2014 Perth, Western Australia



This Corporate Governance Statement sets out the Company's current compliance with the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (Principles and Recommendations). The Principles and Recommendations are not mandatory. However, the Company will be required to provide a statement in its future annual reports disclosing the extent to which the Company has followed the Principles and Recommendations.
The Board of the Company currently has in place a Corporate Governance Plan which has been posted in a dedicated corporate governance information section of the Company's website at www.stgeorgemining.com.au.
PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
1.1 Companies should establish the functions reserved to the Board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose those functions. Compliant: Yes.
The Directors monitor the business affairs of the Company on behalf of Shareholders and have adopted a Corporate Governance Plan which is designed to encourage Directors to focus their attention on accountability, risk management and ethical conduct. The Company's Corporate Governance Plan includes a Board Charter, which discloses the specific responsibilities of the Board.
The Company's Corporate Governance Plan is available on the Company's website at www.stgeorgemining.com.au .
1.2 Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives. Compliant: Yes.
Due to the Company's stage of development, it does not yet have any senior executives apart from the Board. However, if the Company appoints senior executives in the future, the Board will monitor the performance of those senior executives including measuring actual performance of senior executives against planned performance.
The Board has adopted a policy to assist in evaluating the performance of senior executives, which is contained in Schedule 6 of its Corporate Governance Plan (Disclosure ‐ Performance Evaluation).
Given the current size and structure of the Board, the Board has not established a separate nomination committee to oversee the performance evaluation of the senior executives.
Until a nomination committee is established, the Board will undertake the obligations of the nomination committee in connection with evaluating the performance of senior executives in accordance with Schedule 6 of its Corporate Governance Plan.
1.3 Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 1. Compliant: Yes.
The Company will explain any departures from Principles and Recommendations 1.1 and 1.2 (if any) in its future annual reports, including whether a performance evaluation for senior executives (if any exist at that time) has taken place in the reporting period and whether it was in accordance with the process disclosed.
The Company has not undertaken any performance evaluation of any senior executive in the last reporting period.
The Company has adopted a Board Charter, which discloses the specific responsibilities of the Board and provides that the Board may delegate responsibility for the day‐to‐day operations and administration of the Company to the chief executive officer/ managing director (if appointed).
The Board Charter is contained in Schedule 1 of the Company's Corporate Governance Plan and the Nomination Committee Charter is contained in Schedule 5 of the Company's Corporate Governance Plan.
2. Structure the Board to add value
2.1 A majority of the Board should be independent directors. Compliant: No
Currently the Company has no independent Directors.
The Company's Corporate Governance Plan outlines that the majority of the Board will be comprised of non‐executive directors, and where practical, at least 50% of the Board will be independent. However, the Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity, to justify the expense of an appointment of a majority of independent directors. The current Board structure presently consists of an executive chairman, an executive director and one non‐executive director.
The Board believes that each of the Directors can make, and do make, quality and independent judgements in the best interests of the Company. Any Director who has a conflict of interest in relation to a particular item of business must declare their conflict and abstain from voting or participating in Board deliberations to which a conflict of interest relates.
2.2 The chair should be an independent director. Compliant: No.
Mr John Prineas is the Executive Chairman and is a not an Independent Director.
The Company's Corporate Governance Plan provides that the Chairman, where practical, should be a non‐executive Director.
The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity, to require an independent Chairman. This will be reviewed as the Company develops.
2.3 The roles of chair and chief executive officer should not be exercised by the same individual. Compliant: No.
The Company has not appointed a chief executive officer. The Executive Chairman is Mr John Prineas. The Company intends to seek out and appoint a chief executive officer, separate from the role of chairman, in the future. However, due to the current limited size of the Company's operations it may not be appropriate to appoint a separate chief executive officer for some time.
The Company's Corporate Governance Plan provides, where practical, that the chief executive officer should not be the Chairman of the Company during his term as chief executive officer or in the future.
2.4 The Board should establish a nomination committee. Compliant: No.
Given that the Company is in its early stages of development and given the current size and structure of the Board, the Board has not established a separate nomination committee.
Matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the Board. The Board may also seek independent advice to assist with the identification process.
2.5 Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and individual directors. Compliant: No.
The Company will put a formal process in place as and when the Company's level of operations justifies it.
