DIRECTORS' REPORT

Exploration Targets

The Company's tenements are considered prospective for a range of target types. As is common with most areas of South Australia almost all of the older, potentially mineralised lithologies within the project area are masked by younger sedimentary layers and sand dunes resulting in no surface expression of potential orebodies. Whilst

presenting some challenges to exploration, this situation has also mean that large areas of South Australia are relatively unexplored and likely to host significant deposits of economic mineralisation.

The Company has taken a multi-commodity approach in its exploration program. The preferred commodities are base-metals (especially copper, zinc and cobalt) and precious metals (gold and silver).

Iron Oxide Copper Gold Deposits and Sediment-hosted Base metals

The Stuart Shelf is a large under-explored area on the eastern edge of the Gawler Craton containing one of the world's major iron oxide copper gold silver uranium deposits at Olympic Dam, and largely lying between Lake Torrens and Lake Eyre. The area is traversed by major structural zones (including the Torrens Hinge Zone, Norwest Fault and the continental lineaments G2 and G9). The Company has a significant tenement position in this area - the Lake Torrens Project.

The Lake Torrens Project is considered prospective for several types of economic precious and base-metal deposits, including within the Mesoproterozoic basement rocks Olympic Dam-type iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits, and, within the Adelaidean and Cambrian sediments, Mississippi-Valley-type ("MVT") lead-zinc-copper-silver mineralisation and carbonate-hosted willemite (zinc silicate) mineralisation, similar to the deposits in the Beltana area. Other possible types of mineralisation may include sediment-hosted copper deposits, similar to the Zambian Copperbelt style, or associated with diapiric brecciated structures; SEDEX or Mt Isa-type Zn-Pb-Ag deposits associated with pyritic, graphitic shales and dolomites, and structurally-hosted gold deposits associated with large fault systems in the Adelaidean sediments.

Epithermal Gold Silver Deposits

Epithermal style quartz vein hosted gold silver mineralisation has been recognised by the Company in the area northeast of Iron Knob. Epithermal deposits are quartz vein and stockwork style mineralisation that generally form at shallow depths (< 1km) when hot hydrothermal fluids associated with volcanic activity boil or encounter different chemical conditions. Epithermal deposits can vary considerably in size, grade and metal association. Examples include Pajingo and Wirralie (North Queensland, Australia), Ladolam-Lihir (PNG), Hishikari (Japan) and Chatree (Thailand). Precious metal mineralised epithermal deposits have not previously been identified in South Australia.

Gawler Craton structurally hosted Gold Deposits

The Gawler Craton hosts a number of gold deposits, including the Challenger Gold Mine, considered to be structurally controlled. Extensive open file databases of calcrete geochemical data have recently been released facilitating the evaluation of these target types. The Company has acquired a suite of tenements covering untested anomalous calcrete gold targets, gold mineralised drill intersections that require followup and known poorly tested known gold systems that also require additional evaluation to assess their potential to host economic deposits.

Nickel/Cobalt Sulphide Deposits

Several areas within South Australia are considered prospective for nickel ± cobalt mineralisation, including mafic/ultramafic belts within the Gawler Craton and mafic intrusions (Voiseys Bay style) along the edges of the Gawler Craton. The Company's tenements cover a number of situations with favourable geology or anomalous Ni-Co geochemistry considered of interest for these types of mineralisation.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Uranium

Uranium deposits of several types are known in South Australia, the main economic types being the IOCG system at Olympic Dam and roll-front palaeochannel deposits such as those being exploited by at Honeymoon on the Curnamona Craton. Both IOCG targets and palaeochannel targets are present on the Company's tenements with IOCG targets such as Marathon South and Titan located in the Lake Torrens Project area and significant portions of the Garford and Wynbring palaeochannels covered by tenements in the central Gawler Craton area.

Diamonds

Desktop studies by the Company recognised the potential of several areas in South Australia to host diamond deposits. Reprocessing of aeromagnetic data and review of open file reports led to recognition of parts of the Torrens Hinge Zone/Stuart Shelf/Willouran Ranges and the central Gawler Craton as very prospective for diamonds. Important advances in diamond exploration have taken place since the Lake Torrens project area was assessed for diamonds in the past. Better geophysical surveying and processing tools; better diamond sample processing techniques encompassing finer fractions of stream sediments and loam samples; enhanced analytical techniques for geochemical analysis of outcrop areas; improved understanding of diamond exploration in Australian environments; and an expanded understanding of diamond geology together with recently published geological data and digital exploration data sets, have all combined to greatly increase Tasman's chances of locating the primary sources of the diamonds in its tenements.

DETAILED EXPLORATION RESULTS

Titan Iron Oxide Copper Gold Prospect

The Titan Prospect is an iron oxide system with copper, gold and REE enrichment located 32km north of Olympic Dam. It was previously drilled by WMC in 1976 - drill holes BD1 and BD2. BD1 was extended by WMC in 1981. BD1 intersected 334m of mineralisation from a depth of 607m that averaged 0.1% Cu. The Titan Prospect consists of two very strong magnetic and gravity anomalies.

During the year, the Company completed two holes, TI7 and TI8, targeting high-grade copper-gold mineralisation were completed during the quarter. The targets tested were identified from Tasman's geological modelling of the Titan system and from coincident, strong geophysical anomalies derived from several independent electrical geophysical techniques.

Hole TI7 failed to intersect higher grade mineralization than that hit in the adjacent encouraging hole TI6.

Hole Ti8 drilled into unmineralised Pandurra Formation. Apart from a narrow zone (about 5m thick) of probably late stage, remobilised sulphide mineralisation at the upper contact of the Pandurra Formation, no significant sulphides were intersected. At this stage the cause of the strong AMT anomaly (and the anomalous IP response) is not apparent from the drill hole, and the narrow zone of sulphides seems too thin and weak to be the cause of this strong anomaly. It seems likely that the target may have been just missed by TI8. Tasman is reviewing options such as downhole geophysics to address this question.

A revised model of the Titan system is under development to guide further exploration of this large, complex mineralised IOCG system to locate high grade copper gold mineralisation. Only a small part of the overall system has been evaluated to date and techniques to target new holes in untested parts of the system are under review.

Marathon South Iron Oxide Copper Gold Prospect

The Marathon South Prospect comprises a large, 4km by 6km, complex gravity anomaly located, coincident with a relative magnetic low, within a much larger (10km by 25km) regional northeast trending magnetic and gravity feature. The Waterman's Plains copper occurrence, located within the Andamooka Limestone at the top of the overlying sedimentary sequence is 2.4km northeast along this trend. The prospect is located approximately 24km northeast of WMC Resources' Olympic Dam Cu-U-Au-Ag deposit in South Australia.

During the year, the Company drilled hole MS1, The hole intersected a thick zone of haematite-altered and leached breccias. The hole was testing an AMT conductive zone on the margin of a residual gravity high.

MS1 was completed at a depth of 830.8m, finishing in altered breccias containing weak sulphide mineralisation. A total thickness of over 272.8m (from 558m to 830.8m downhole) of variably haematitealtered breccias and rocks of probable igneous origin were intersected in the hole.

The breccias consist of a variety of matrix and clast support styles, with clasts of meta-sedimentary and igneous rocks within a haematite-dominated matrix. Some breccias contain a variety of clast types, with

DIRECTORS' REPORT

evidence of more complex rebrecciation. Variable amounts of sericite, carbonate and silica alteration also occur throughout.

The thickness and areal extent of the breccias is not known, but the gravity anomaly being targeted is a complex feature, about 4km by 6km in size, and MS1 has intersected the extreme southwest margin of it.

Weak sulphide mineralisation, consisting of minor pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite (overall estimated at less than one percent sulphides) was intersected over numerous zones within the hole.

Assay results showed no significant mineralisation was intersected, as expected from the visual logging. The results are consistent with what is currently interpreted to be evidence of strong leaching of the breccias by geological processes not uncommon in volcanic calderas and diatremes.

However, some anomalous values were returned for gold (up to 0.1 g/t Au in individual 2m samples) and copper (up to several hundred ppm with a maximum of 1600ppm over 2m from 804m) for individual samples, despite the strongly leached character of the breccias. All samples were composited over 2m intervals from one-third core fillets.

The Company believes however it may have located a new large iron-oxide system, potentially mineralised and a relatively short distance from Olympic Dam.

Despite the lack of economic grades in this first hole, The Company is encouraged by the potential for Marathon South to host significant mineralisation as underlined by the following:

  • The significant nature and thickness of the breccias. The breccias consist of a variety of matrix $\bullet$ and clast support styles, with clasts of both sedimentary and igneous origin. They exhibit a variety of alteration styles with haematite, sericite, silica and carbonates the principal alteration minerals, and are interpreted as having formed in a subvolcanic diatreme environment.
  • The presence of significant igneous and volcanic components in the breccias. Brecciated, layered tuffaceous rocks, altered dykes of varying composition and altered igneous clasts within the breccias provide further evidence of igneous and volcanic processes during formation of the breccias.
  • The rocks in MS1 are undeformed. The lack of deformation of the breccias is consistent with their formation at Hiltaba age or younger (i.e. ~1600 million years old). Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and other deposits in the region are undeformed and believed to have formed at this time.
  • The size and location of the geophysical gravity anomaly. MS1 has been drilled on the southwest margin of a large and complex gravity feature. Apart from drill hole MS1, the feature is completely untested. The prospect is located in a highly prospective part of the Olympic copper-gold province of the Gawler Craton. Furthermore, Marathon South is adjacent to a cluster of known IOCG deposits (Olympic Dam, Wiirda, Acropolis and Titan - see figure 1).

Since the completion of MS1, additional gravity data has been collected over the southern part of the anomalous feature. This new data assisted with refining the Company's geophysical modelling and was used to select drill targets.

Follow-up drilling of at least four drill holes is currently underway at Marathon South.

Wartaka Epithermal Gold Silver Project

Tasman has discovered outcropping highly anomalous gold-silver mineralisation on its 100% owned Wartaka Project, located approximately 60km west of Port Augusta. The discovery resulted from follow

DIRECTORS' REPORT

up of calcrete sampling data collected by a previous explorer in an area Tasman had earlier identified as prospective for gold mineralisation.

Rock chip assay results from the Wartaka area have been highly encouraging with strongly anomalous gold, silver, antimony and lead results returned from sampling of numerous subcropping veins in an area

at least 1.5km by 1.5km. Best assay results from grab samples of subcropping veins and float material include 1370ppb Au, 55ppm Ag, 27ppm Sb and 5000ppm Pb (as detailed in the Company's ASX announcements, post June 2005). Other mineralised veins have also been located in different areas of the tenement suggesting that a large epithermal system is present in the area.

The mineralisation is interpreted to be epithermal in character due to:

  • the presence of "classic" banded quartz veins showing crustiform, colloform, cockade and comb textures, together with complex overprinting relationships;
  • a distinctive gold-silver-lead-antimony metal association, typical of epithermal deposits; and,
  • evidence of hydrothermal clay alteration in wallrocks at surface.

Epithermal deposits are quartz vein and stockwork style mineralisation that generally form at shallow depths (<1km) when hot hydrothermal fluids associated with volcanic activity boil or encounter different chemical conditions. Epithermal deposits can vary considerably in size, grade and metal association. Examples include Pajingo and Wirralie (North Queensland, Australia), Ladolam-Lihir (PNG), Hishikari (Japan) and Chatree (Thailand). Epithermal deposits have not previously been identified in South Australia.

Tasman intends to advance exploration as a priority by:

  • conducting detailed geochemical sampling, mapping and possibly electrical geophysical surveys over the main 1.5 km by 1.5 km area noted above;
  • mapping and sampling over at least four other areas of interest (totalling about 5 km2) on the tenements. These include an area of newly located historical prospector activity, an area of anomalous lag geochemical samples, a potential strike extension to the north-east and the area surrounding recently sampled quartz veins found to be highly anomalous in antimony; and,
  • defining precise drill targets, conducting heritage clearances and drilling, which is anticipated late in 2005 or early the following year.

Carbonate-hosted Zinc Lead Exploration

Following the release of Geoscience Australia's seismic data along the Borefield road, north of Roxby Downs, the Company recognized structures within the Adelaidian sediments considered favourable for the focusing of basin dewatering brines into Cambrian carbonates. Such situations are commonly associated with the development of MVT-style zinc, lead and silver $\pm$ copper mineralisation. The innovative SDP soil gas technique has been used to assess the target zone identified on the Stuart Shelf. Results from the field work are awaited.

Central Gawler Craton

Tasman has a significant tenement holding in the central Gawler Craton in South Australia. The area is currently a focus for Tertiary channel-hosted (roll front-type) uranium exploration, and also hosts the Challenger and Tarcoola gold deposits and other advanced gold prospects such as Tunkillia.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Tasman has acquired a portfolio of selected tenements within the central Gawler Craton, which are considered prospective for uranium, gold, nickel and diamonds. The portfolio was developed by:

  • $\bullet$ the application of Tasman's conceptual models for these types of deposits;
  • recognition of significant anomalies or mineralisation; and, $\bullet$
  • assessment of the comprehensive geological database provided by SA Government's Primary $\bullet$ Industry and Resources Department (PIRSA) which was largely compiled from the results of previous exploration.

Central Gawler Target Summary

Uranium:

$\alpha$ , where $\alpha$ is $\alpha$

$\langle \sigma \sigma \rangle$ , and $\sigma \sigma$ are $\sigma \sigma$ , and $\sigma$

Wynbring North Prospect This area was explored in the early 1980s by uranium explorer
PNC (Australia) Pty Ltd and most of PNC's work was south of
Tasman's exploration licence. However, PNC reported radiometric
anomalies from probing of several drill holes within a Tertiary
channel in the southern portion of Tasman's EL 3306, and
concluded that roll front-type uranium mineralisation may exist
within the channel. Granite, a possible primary source of the
uranium, was intersected at the bottom of some of the PNC
holes, and outcrops of granite occur sporadically in the catchment
of the channel.
Tasman believes that at least 10km of potential, undrilled channel
may exist on EL 3306, and requires evaluation and test drilling
(see Figure 2). Other branches of the channel may occur in areas
of no outcrop or drilling.
Garford Channel 50km of this channel is located within Tasman's tenements and
its potential for hosting roll front-type uranium is unknown, but by
analogy, is considered prospective.
Gold: Eyre Prospect An intersection of 20m at 53ppb Au (including 8m at 92ppb Au)
from 42m to the bottom of the hole and highly anomalous arsenic
(20m at 115ppm As from surface in a hole located 40m away)
was intersected in RAB drilling in past exploration. Follow up
step-out and deeper RC drilling is planned, and offers the potential
for an early discovery (Figure 3).
Norman Prospect This prospect contains five separate areas of interest that were
subject to drilling by prior explorers, who reported a number of
significant, but sub-economic gold intersections in relatively
sparse drilling. These areas require re-evaluation and possibly
further drilling as a result of:
a better understanding of the complexity and controls on
high grade mineralisation likely in this geological
environment, now evident at the Challenger deposit; and,
a better understanding of the regolith and geochemical
dispersion in this terrain.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Goss and Forrest Prospects

Significant gold-in-calcrete anomalies (up to 10ppb Au in areas sampled at about 1.6km sample spacing) require follow-up surface sampling and possibly drilling.

Some of the tenements contain areas considered prospective for nickel mineralisation and diamonds.

Highly anomalous nickel, copper and cobalt-in-calcrete (up to 300ppm Ni, 175ppm Cu and 75ppm Co in samples collected 1km apart) have been reported in prior exploration, and the anomalies require follow-up sampling and evaluation.

The potential for diamonds has been highlighted from conceptual targeting and identification of multiple targets from detailed aeromagnetic processing. A microdiamond was recorded on Tasman's tenements in prior exploration.

Tasman intends to accelerate exploration over these areas over the coming six months with a combination of ground geological, geochemical and geophysical work, native title clearances followed by drilling.

Diamond Exploration

Following on from the Company's desktop study of the diamond potential and prospectivity of South Australia, which concluded that rocks of Jurassic and older age have good potential to host diamondiferous kimberlite and lamproite intrusions that were overlooked by previous diamond explorers, the Company completed re-processing of aeromagnetic data and selection of potential kimberlite targets.

Preliminary evaluation of the highest priority targets has been progressively undertaken as time permits throughout the year. A new evaluation technique for assessing the magnetic targets, SDP soil gas, was identified and discussions undertaken with parties holding known kimberlites to allow calibration of the technique.

ENERGY PROJECTS

Eden Energy Ltd ("Eden"), a Tasman Resources NL subsidiary, is a diversified energy company created to provide access to range of exciting new, clean green energy opportunities. Eden holds or is acquiring interests in:

  • hydrogen fuels, transport and storage;
  • coal bed/coal mine methane;
  • a conventional gas play; and
  • geothermal (deep heat mining) energy.

The Tasman / Eden Relationship

The proposed corporate structure (after completion of seed capital raising) of The Company and its subsidiary entities and their relationship to Brehon Energy plc is set out as follows:

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Hydrogen & Hythane® Initiative - Summary

  • The Company, on behalf of Eden entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Irish based Brehon Energy plc ("Brehon") to form a joint company known as Brehon Far East Pty Ltd ("Brehon Far East") in which Eden will hold 49% of the issued capital;
  • Under the agreement, Eden subscribed for up to 2.5million shares (representing 20% of the issued capital) in Brehon via the investment of US\$1,000,000.
  • Brehon Far East was granted the exclusive licence to market and distribute all Hythane® (a mixture of methane or natural gas and hydrogen) and other products owned or developed by Brehon throughout Asia, Australasia and the Pacific;
  • Brehon owns or has rights to a range of leading edge Hydrogen and Hythane® technologies and $\bullet$ patents. The technologies and patents address several of the major issues facing the transition to the Hydrogen economy;
  • The US developed Hythane® technology has been developed over the last 15 20 years, has been $\bullet$ successfully trialled in a wide range of applications and is ready for full scale commercialisation particularly in rapidly expanding existing CNG vehicle markets. Brehon is in discussions in respect to sales with several substantial end users in Europe. This is seen as an immediate bridge between the current hydrocarbon economy and the future hydrogen economy;
  • The use of Hythane® as a fuel in lieu of CNG/Methane alone reduces CO2, NOx and other ė greenhouse gas missions. This in turn will give rise to significant carbon credits in countries that are signatories to the Kyoto Protocol. Formal European trading of carbon credits commences in $2005;$

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Hydrogen Storage

Brehon's Hydrogen storage technology which was initially developed as part of the NASA space program involves cryogenic (liquid and supercritical) storage of hydrogen and other gases. This enables far higher amounts of hydrogen to be stored in smaller sized tanks. This expertise is supplemented by a recent patent application by Brehon for a potentially significantly more efficient cryogenic storage tank. This technology has numerous applications including efficient storage for hydrogen powered motor vehicles which is currently one of the limiting factors in the transition to a Hydrogen economy. Brehon is in discussions with several leading automobile manufacturers to design and build prototype cryogenic storage tanks for their current developmental hydrogen vehicle programs.

Hythane

The Hythane® technology was developed and patented by Frank Lynch (owner of Hydrogen Components Inc.) starting in the 1980s. Hythane® involves the addition of a small percentage of hydrogen (usually about 7% by energy) to natural gas to create a highly efficient very low emission vehicle fuel. Hythane® reduces NOx emissions by 95%, relative to diesel and significantly reduces CO2.

Hythane® has been successfully demonstrated in Denver (Colorado) in 1991, Erie (Pennsylvania) in 1993, in Montreal (Quebec) in 1995, and Coachella Valley California in 2003. Hythane® technology builds upon existing compressed natural gas (CNG) infrastructure and equipment, is fully developed, and available for immediate rollout.

Brehon Energy plc ("Brehon") acquired all the Hythane® technology in July 2004 and has engaged Frank Lynch as an exclusive consultant on Hythane® matters.

Eden has acquired a 20% interest in Brehon and a 49% interest in a joint venture marketing company named Brehon Far East Pte Ltd which holds the exclusive marketing rights for all Brehon technology for all countries in the Asia/Pacific region from Pakistan in the west to, but not including, the United States of America.

Hythane® Marketing

Whilst interest has been shown in Hythane® in California, Europe, India and Australia to date, the most immediate and rapidly emerging market for Hythane® is China.

Significant progress has been made in the Hythane project in China. There is a potential market for in excess of 500,000 Hythane powered buses in China. To date, memoranda of understanding have been signed or negotiated with 6 major Chinese cities (potential market in excess of 70,000 buses). These Memoranda of Understanding have involved the Environmental Protection Bureau, which has indicated support for the Hythane project in China.

A Chinese demonstration project is planned for October - November 2005 in which 2 Hythane® powered buses will be built, tested and demonstrated. Subject to the outcome of that trial, preliminary approval for inclusion of Hythane in the Chinese Government's 16 City Clean Air Program has been obtained. This would immediately expose the Hythane project to 16 very large cities in China, all of which have significant air pollution problems.

Preliminary agreement has also been reached with engine controller manufacturers, Chinese engine manufacturers and Chinese bus manufacturers to work in conjunction with these relevant parties to develop the product range necessary to implement Hythane as a major vehicle fuel in China.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

New Brehon Technology

Significant additional work has taken place on several patents including for a conceptual portable super conducting energy storage device. An application has been lodged for a new patent in respect of a sophisticated blender for producing Hythane (blending hydrogen and natural gas). Several other patents r are also very close to being applied for.

The Company has entered into a joint venture with Welsh-based Coastal Oil and Gas Limited that will give The Company the right to acquire a 50% interest in Coal Bed Methane (CBM)/Coal Mine Methane (CMM) and Natural Gas ("NG") more than 22% of the South Wales coalfields. The Petroleum Exploration and Development Licenses (PEDL 100, 148 & 149) together cover an area of approximately 430 km2.

In addition The Company has also entered into a JV to acquire a 50% interest (up to 60% if expenditure > £1M) in an interpreted Oil/Natural Gas target situated within Devonian age rocks beneath the South Wales coalfields.

Both of these potential gas resources are strategically located in and around a number of industrial sites that are potential end users.

A detailed data capture of coal seam data from hardcopy maps and plans from historic coalmines in the 400km2 tenement area has been completed. The purpose of this exercise is to determine the potential for tapping significant quantities of abandoned mine gas, and for identifying primary targets for testing unworked coal seams for possible development of coal seam gas.

Conversion of the compiled data to isopach maps and simplified 3D models is being considered. Identification of areas within the licence area that are sufficiently large to allow development of a commercial CBM well field is review. Once these areas are identified, structure and isopach maps together with 3D seam information will be used to site test wells. Permitting for the test wells takes between 6-8 weeks.

A suitable laboratory for performing the coal and gas testing programme has been identified in Germany. Negotiations to undertake the South Wales work are underway.

The search for a suitable drilling rig for the initial testing of the coal continues. A number of candidates have been identified and more detailed discussions are underway regarding capabilities, costs and availability.

South Australian Geothermal Exploration

Eden holds eight geothermal exploration licences in South Australia: GELs 166, 167, 168, 169, 175, 176, 177 and 185.

Eden's strategy will be to test the suitability of the target areas, drill test wells and, if successful, establish a power generation facility that can be used to either generate electricity or produce clean hydrogen for use as a fuel or additive to methane to produce Hythane®. It is proposed that both of these products will be marketed through the down-stream technology developed by Brehon.

and a more comparable.

Geothermal energy involves drilling holes up to 4.5km in depth into hot rocks, usually granites. The heat is produced in the rocks themselves and also comes from deeper within the Earth's core.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

The hot rocks are fractured with high pressure water to open up an network of cracks. Water is pumped down one borehole, travels through the fractured rocks, is heated and then recovered up other boreholes. The aim is to recover water at the highest possible temperature (at least 220oC) and pass it through a heat exchanger that then generates electricity using turbines. In order for the target rocks to retain heat and be hot enough, a thick sedimentary "blanket" is needed.

An integrated work programme assessing the geothermal targets in the GELs is continuing. There are five targets covered by Eden's GELs, comprising a range of different target types:

    1. GEL 185 is located in the Cooper Basin and adjoins the GELs held by Geodynamics Ltd, which has already drilled and proven the concept with its two holes, Habonera 1 and Habonera 2. Eden's consultants have advised that ti is reasonable to expect similar geothermal conditions on GEL 185, as it is located on the same structure and subject to similar stresses on the Geodynamic GELs.
    1. GELs 166 and 167 cover the West Well geophysical anomaly, an interpreted radiogenic iron oxide system buried beneath an estimated 3km of Adelaide geosyncline sediment. The area is approximately 60km west of Leigh Creek.
    1. GEL 168 covers an interpreted thermally enhanced Hiltaba age granite, adjacent to the West Well target at Mulgaria, again buried beneath several kilometres of Adelaidean sediments.
    1. GEL 169 is located approximately 80km south of Moomba, near Bollards Lagoon, and targets a proposed analogue of the Geodynamics target at Habanero.
    1. GEL 177 covers an area with known high thermal temperature gradients over a gravity low interpreted to be a buried granite and/or a thicker sub-basin of the Eromanga Basin near Mungeranie on the Birdsville Track.
    1. To the north of Renmark, a geothermal anomaly identified in early oil exploration wells is associated with the Nadda/Berri/Murray Basin.

The West Well anomaly was drilled tested by WMC in 1979. The 762m hole WWD1 only encountered Adelaidian shales and the hole was terminated when it was concluded that any economic mineralisation would be too deep. Discussions with the driller who drilled the hole and the geologist who supervised WWD1 have revealed that the collar was pressure cemented to an approximate depth of 20m immediately upon completion of the hole. This raises the strong possibility that the hole can be successfully re-entered, the geothermal gradient measured and heatflow for the West Well anomaly estimated. A recent visit to WWD1 by Eden staff confirmed the intact status of the collar.

Eden has been successful in obtaining SA Government PACE2 funding for part of the costs involved in reentering WWD1 and measuring the downhole temperatures. The rig contracted for the Marathon South drilling programme will be used to ream out the cement in the hole and run a BQ string to the bottom of the old hole. A small amount of fresh core will be drilled to provide data about the thermal conductivity of the Adelaidian sediments. It is anticipated that this work will occur in October 2005, once heritage and access issues are successfully concluded.

Economic Entity Parent Entity
2005 -2004 2005 2004
S s Ś s

$1.$ Statement of Accounting Policies

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Statements Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report covers the economic entity of Tasman Resources NL and controlled entities, and Tasman Resources NL as an individual parent entity. Tasman Resources NL is a listed company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration in exchange for assets.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the economic entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Principles of Consolidation $(a)$

A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Tasman Resources NL. Control exists where Tasman Resources NL has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Tasman Resources NL to achieve the objectives of Tasman Resources NL. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 20 to the financial statements.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the economic entity during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. Outside interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.

$(b)$ Income Tax

The economic entity has adopted the liability method of tax effect accounting whereby income tax expense for the period is calculated on the accounting profit after adjusting for items which, as a result of their treatment under income tax legislation, create permanent differences between that profit and the taxable income. The tax effect of timing differences which arises from the recognition in the accounts of items of revenue and expenses in periods different from those in which they are assessable or allowable for income tax purposes, are represented in the balance sheet as "future income tax benefits" or "provision for deferred income tax", as the case may be at current tax rates. The net future income tax benefit relating to tax losses and timing differences is not carried forward as an asset unless the benefit is virtually certain of being realised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Statement of Accounting Policies (Cont'd) 1.

$(c)$ Mining Tenements and Exploration Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs shown in the balance sheet represent an accumulation of net direct exploration and evaluation costs incurred by the company in relation to areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current and expected to be maintained and in respect of which :-

  • $\left( 1\right)$ such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of each area, or alternatively, by its sale; or
  • $(ii)$ exploration and/or evaluation activities in the areas have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to the areas are continuing.

The ultimate recoupment of costs related to the areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phase is dependent on the successful and commercial exploitation and/or sale of the relevant areas, at amounts at least equal to book value.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

$(d)$ Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable. any accumulated depreciation.

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets employed and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for Plant and Equipment are 15-50%

$(e)$ 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 Tax Office. 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 statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

$\mathbf{1}$ Statement of Accounting Policies (Cont'd) $(f)$ Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

$(a)$ Impact of Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

The company is preparing and managing the transition to Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) effective for the financial years commencing from 1 January 2005. The adoption of AIFRS will be reflected in the economic entity's and the parent entity's financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2006. On first time adoption of AIFRS, comparatives for the financial year ended 30 June 2005 are required to be restated. The majority of the AIFRS transitional adjustments will be made retrospectively against retained earnings at 1 July 2004.

The economic entity's management, with the assistance of external consultants, has assessed the significance of the expected changes and preparing for their implementation. The impact of the alternative treatments and elections under AASB 1: First Time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards has been considered where applicable.

The directors are of the opinion that the key material differences in the economic entity's accounting policies on conversion to AIFRS and the financial effect of these differences, where known, are as follows. Users of the financial statements should note, however, that the amounts disclosed could change if there are any amendments by standard-setters to the current AIFRS or interpretation of the AIFRS requirements changes.

Impairment of Assets - Under AASB 136: Impairment of Assets, the recoverable amount of an asset is determined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell, and value in use. In determining value in use, projected future cash flows are discounted using a risk adjusted pre-tax discount rate and impairment is assessed for the individual asset or at the 'cash generating unit' level. A 'cash generating unit' is determined as the smallest group of assets that generates cash flows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. The current policy is to determine the recoverable amount of an asset on the basis of undiscounted net cash flows that will be received from the asset's use and subsequent disposal. It is likely that this change in accounting policy will lead to impairments being recognised more often.

Income Tax - Income tax will be calculated on the "balance sheet" approach under which temporary differences are identified for each asset and liability. As tax effects follow the underlying transaction, some tax effects will be recognised in equity.

Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates - The financial statements of economic entity may be reported in more than one currency. The economic entity's integrated foreign operations can no longer be translated using the temporal method.

Exploration Expenditure - Currently an accounting standard has yet to be issued which deals with the treatment of exploration and evaluation expenditure under IFRS.

Share-based Payments - The entity shall recognise the goods or services received or acquired in a share-based payment transaction when it obtains the goods or as the services are received. The entity shall recognise a corresponding increase in equity if the goods or services were received in an equity-settled share-based payment transaction. When the goods or services received or acquired in a share-based payment transaction do not qualify for recognition as assets, they shall be recognised as expenses. It is believed that the effect to the entity will be approximately \$24,000.

$(h)$ Comparative Figures

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

$\langle i \rangle$ Franking Credits

As at balance date there are no franking credits for the economic entity or the parent entity.

The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation phases is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of respective mining areas.

The company's exploration tenements include areas subject to Native Title Claims. As a result mining and exploration activities may be subject to exploration and mining restrictions or compensation payments. At the date of this report Work Area Clearance Agreements which enable initial exploration to occur have been finalised with 3 of the 4 native title claimant groups (and the 4th is being negotiated). However the directors are unable to quantify the financial impact of any future claims.

TASMAN RESOURCES NL ABN 85 009 253 187 AND CONTROLLED ENTITY

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TASMAN RESOURCES NL

SCOPE

The financial report and directors' responsibility.

The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for Tasman Resources NL (the company) and the consolidated entity, for the year ended 30 June 2005. The consolidated entity comprises both the company and the entities it controlled during that year.

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with 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 accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

AUDIT APPROACH

We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgment, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations and cash flows.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:

  • examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and
  • assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

INDEPENDENCE

In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.

AUDIT OPINION

In our opinion, the financial report of Tasman Resources NL is in accordance with:

  • the Corporations Act 2001, including: a.
  • i. giving a true and fair view of the company's and consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2005 and of their performance for the year ended on that date: and
  • ii. complying with Accounting Standards in Australia and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
  • $b1$ other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia.

INHERENT UNCERTAINTY REGARDING CARRYING VALUE OF CAPITALISED ACQUISITION AND EXPLORATION COSTS

Without qualification in the opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the carrying value of mining tenements and exploration expenditure carried forward as referred to in Note 11, is dependent upon the company's rights to tenure of the areas of interest, the results of future exploration and the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploration of the areas of interest, or alternatively by their sale at amounts at least equal to book value.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Corporate Governance

The Board of Directors is responsible for the corporate governance of the company. The Board monitors the business affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

The Board of Directors acknowledge the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations set by the Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX") Corporate Governance Council. However, in view of the Company's current size and extent and nature of operations, full adoption of the recommendations is currently not practical. The Board will continue to work towards full adoption of the recommendations in line with growth and development of the Company in the years ahead. Where the Company's framework was different to the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council, it has been noted below.

A summary of the current corporate governance practices as adopted by the Board are as follows:

The Board of Directors

Board Responsibilities

The Board assumes responsibility for overseeing the affairs of the Company by ensuring that they are carried out in a professional and ethical manner and that business risks are effectively managed.

The board carries out its responsibilities according to the following mandate;

  • The Company's Constitution fixes the number of Directors to at least three directors and not more than six. The Board currently consists of three, with at least two-thirds being nonexecutive directors:
  • The directors should possess a broad range of skills qualifications and experience;
  • The Company's Constitution requires that not less than one third of the all the Directors other than the Managing Director retire by rotation at each annual general meeting. Directors appointed during the period since the last annual general meeting of the company must submit themselves for election at the next Annual General Meeting;
  • The full board meets formally to conduct appropriate business. The Board uses resolutions in writing signed by all Directors to deal with matters requiring decisions between meetings;
  • All available information in connection with items to be discussed at a meeting of the board shall be provided to each director prior to that meeting.

The primary responsibilities of the Board include;

  • Review and ratify systems of risk management and internal compliance and control, codes of conduct, legal compliance, and any other regulatory compliance;
  • Approve and monitor the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, and acquisition and divestitures;
  • Approve and monitor financial and other reporting to shareholders and the market;

  • Monitor the Board composition, Director selection, Board process and performances and ensure Directors have an understanding of the consolidated entities business;

  • Monitor and influence the key standards of the consolidated entity including Ethical Standards, $\bullet$ reputation and culture;
  • The approval of the annual and half-yearly financial report; $\bullet$
  • The review and adoption of annual budgets for financial performance of the consolidated entity and the monitoring of results;
  • Ensuring that the consolidated entity is able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.

The Company discloses the details of qualifications and experience of each Director in its annual report.

Due to the Company's current size and extent and nature of operations, the following departures from the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations have occurred:-

The Company does not have a majority of independent directors: The Chairman of the Board is an executive director.

Board Committees

Remuneration Committee

Due to the Company's current size and extent and nature of operations, the following departures from the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations have occurred:-

The Company does not have a Remuneration Committee. The Board believes that, with only three Directors on the Board, the Board itself is the appropriate forum to deal with this function.

The Company's Constitution allows for a maximum amount per annum to be paid to non-executive directors to be allocated at the discretion of the Directors. Any changes to the annual amount must be approved at a General Meeting of members of the Company.

Audit Committee

Due to the Company's current size and extent and nature of operations, the following departures from the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations have occurred:-

The Company does not have an Audit Committee. The Board believes that, with only three Directors on the Board, the Board itself is the appropriate forum to deal with this function.

Nomination Committee

Due to the Company's current size and extent of nature and operations, the following departures from the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations have occurred;

The Company does not have a Nomination Committee. The Board believes that, with only three Directors on the Board, the Board itself is the appropriate forum to deal with this function.

Independent Professional Advice

With prior approval of the Chairman, each director has the right to seek independent legal and other professional advice at the consolidated entity's expense concerning any aspect of the consolidated

entity's operations or undertaking in order to fulfil their duties and responsibilities as directors.

Ethical Standards

The Board endeavours to ensure that the Directors, officers and employees of the Company act with integrity and observe the highest standards of behaviour and business ethics in relation to their corporate activities.

Specifically, that Directors, officers and employees must:

  • Comply with the law;
  • Act in the best interests of the Company:
  • Be responsible and accountable for their actions; and
  • Observe the ethical principles of fairness, honesty and truthfulness, including disclosure of potential conflicts.

Trading Policy

It is the company's policy to encourage Directors and employees to own Shares in the Company. The trading in shares policy reinforces the obligations of Directors and employees of the Company, under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules in relation to trading in Company Shares. The policy restricts directors and employees from acting on material information until it has been released to the market. Directors are required to report share trading to the Company Secretary.

Continuous Disclosure

The Executive Chairman and Company Secretary have been appointed as the persons responsible for communications with the ASX. These people are also responsible for ensuring the compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX listing rules and overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosure to the ASX.

The Executive Chairman and the Company Secretary are responsible for the communications strategy to promote effective communications with shareholders and encourage effective participation at general meetings. The Company adheres to best practice in its preparation of Notices of Meetings to ensure all shareholders are fully informed.

Risk Management

The Board is responsible for the consolidated entity's system of internal controls. The Board constantly monitors the operation and financial aspects of the consolidated entity's activities and considers the recommendations and advice of external auditors and other external advisers on the operations and financial risks that face the consolidated entity.

The Board ensures that recommendations made by the external auditors and other external advisers are investigated and, where considered necessary, appropriate action is taken to ensure that the consolidated entity has an appropriate internal control environment in place to manage the key risks identified.

In addition, the Board investigates ways of enhancing existing risk management strategies, including appropriate segregation of duties and the employment and training of suitably qualified and experienced personnel.

Due to the Company's current size and extent and nature of operations, the following departures from the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations have occurred:-

The Company does not have a full time chief executive officer or chief financial officer and therefore statements are not obtained from such persons in relation to Best Practice Recommendation 4.1.

Code of Conduct

As part of the Board's commitment to the highest standard of conduct, the consolidated entity requires executives, management and employees in carrying out their duties and responsibilities to act ethically and lawfully with respect to all transactions and matters including:-

  • Responsibilities to shareholders:
  • Compliance with laws and regulations;
  • Relations with customers and suppliers;
  • Ethical responsibilities:
  • Employment practices; and
  • Responsibilities to the environment and the community.

Due to the Company's current size and extent and nature of operations, the following departures from the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations have occurred:-

The Company has not established a Formal Code of Conduct in accordance with Best Practice Recommendation 10.1.

Communicating with Shareholders

The Board ensures that shareholders are kept informed of all major developments that affect their shareholding or the Consolidated Entity's State of Affairs through quarterly, half yearly, annual and ad hoc reports. All shareholders are encouraged to attend the Annual General Meeting to meet the Chairman and Directors and to receive the most updated report on the consolidated entity's activities.
