DIRECTORS' REPORT
Your directors submit the financial report of the economic entity for the half year ended 31 December 2006.
Directors
The names of directors who held office during or since the end of the half-year:
Mr Robert J Telford Dr John M Chisholm Mr John D Kenny Mr John SF Dunlop
Review of Operations
The consolidated operating loss after tax for the half year was \$1,978,847 (2005 - \$1,234,588).
The principal activities of the economic entity during the half-year were the exploration and development of commercially and economically viable mineral resources. The primary focus continued to be on the development of the Abu Dabbab tantalite, tin and feldspar project in Egypt in which Gippsland has a 50% economic interest by way of an incorporated joint venture with the Egyptian Government. The Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS") was updated for financing purposes. The updated BFS confirmed that the 40 million tonne Abu Dabbab project will produce an average of 650,000 pounds of tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O6) over the first thirteen years of an estimated twenty year mine life, which will establish Gippsland as the world's second largest tantalum producer. The project will also produce an average of 1,530 tonnes of tin per annum.
The project also has the potential to become a significant feldspar producer for use in the manufacture of ceramic floor tiles and sanitary ware from the tailings generated in the production of tantalum and tin. A feasibility study on the feldspar production will commence once the tantalum and tin operation is in operation.
On November 27, 2006, Gippstand announced the appointment of the German company Linden Advisory & Consulting Services as its Financial Advisor for the financing of the Abu Dabbab project.
Gippsland also continued exploration on the Wadi Allagi tenements in southern Egypt. At Seiga, this exploration produced a first pass inferred resource of 1.5 million tonnes at 1.7g/t Au containing 93,000 ounces of gold.
The company boosted its financial and commercial expertise with the appointment of Mr Paul Sims as Chief Financial Officer and Mr Rowan Caren as Company Secretary.

The lead auditor's independence declaration under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 4 for the half-year ended 31 December 2006.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2006.
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The half-year consolidated financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2006 and any public announcements made by Gippsland Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report.
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The half-year report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
Going Concern (i)
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its commitments, realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon raising additional capital to fund exploration commitments, other principal activities and working capital. If additional capital is not raised, the going concern basis may not be appropriate with the result that the entity may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the financial report.

Independent Review Report
To the Members of Gippsland Limited and its Controlled Entities
Scope
The half-year financial report and Director's responsibility
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Gippsland Limited and its Controlled Entities (the consolidated entity) which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2006 and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, a description of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration. The consolidated entity comprises both Gippsland Limited and the entities it controlled during that half-year.
The directors of the consolidated entiry are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the appropriate accounting policies and reasonable accounting estimates inherent in the halfyear financial report.
Review approach
We conducted an independent review where our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagement ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity', in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including, giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2006 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Taterim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001'. As the auditor of Gippsland Limited and its controlled

An independent Western Australian partnership entilled to trade under the international name Grant Thornton. Grant Thornton is a trademark owned by Grant Thornton International and used under licence by independent firms and entities throughout the world.
entities, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Gippsland Limited and its controlled entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- $\left( a\right)$ Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2006 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date.
- $(b)$ Complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 : 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Inherent Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern
Without qualification to the review opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter. As a result of the matters described in Note 1 to the financial statements, there is significant uncertainty whether the entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report
