HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE YEAR TO 30 JUNE 2014

Vulcan IOCGU* Project (EL 4322), South Australia

  • During the year a further two diamond drill holes were completed under the Tasman/Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX) Farm-in Agreement. Subsequently, RTX informed Tasman of its decision not to elect to proceed to the next stage and the Agreement was terminated. Tasman continues as the owner of 100% of the Vulcan Project, which is part of Tasman’s Lake Torrens Project.

  • All nine holes completed during the term of the Tasman/RTX Farm-in Agreement intersected variable strength iron-oxide copper-gold-uranium (IOCGU*) style alteration and mineralisation. Although no zones of strong mineralisation were intersected, a number of thick zones of low grade IOCGU mineralisation were intersected. The most encouraging result was obtained for drill hole VUD 15, which intersected (down hole) 145m at 0.49% Cu and 0.26g/t Au from 1191m, including 52m at 0.87% Cu and 0.46g/t Au.

  • Following the RTX withdrawal Tasman aims to advance exploration at the Lake Torrens Project through either a new joint venture with an appropriate partner or in Tasman’s own right. Preliminary expressions of interest in further exploration were received from a number of larger mining houses, some of which are still currently evaluating the exploration data.

(*IOCGU Iron-oxide copper-gold-uranium)

Parkinson Dam Epithermal Gold-Silver Project (EL4475), South Australia

  • At Tasman’s epithermal gold-silver project (Tasman 100%) a new target of approximately 18 km[2] has been identified. The target builds on recent epithermal discoveries (eg. Investigator Resources Limited’s 20Moz Paris silver discovery) and developments in regional geological understanding.

  • Tasman plans to follow up the target with soil/ RAB geochemical sampling programs once all necessary approvals are in place.

Other Prospects

  • No further work was conducted during the year at Tasman’s Lucas Hill prospect or in the central Gawler Craton in South Australia. During the year Tasman was granted a new exploration licence (EL 5363) at Mt Boothby in South Australia, however to date no field work has been conducted.

  • Tasman has a 19% interest in Conico Ltd (formerly Fission Energy Ltd). Conico owns 50% of the Mt Thirsty nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide deposit in Western Australia.

  • Tasman has a 46% interest in diversified clean energy company Eden Energy Ltd. Eden has interests in carbon nanotube & carbon fibre production, Optiblend[TM] dual fuel technology, hydrogen production, storage & transport fuel systems, including the low emission Hythane[TM] hydrogen-methane blend, coal bed methane and shale gas in the UK.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The Company has Exploration Licences located in South Australia covering a range of commodities – gold, silver, copper and uranium, for which the company’s tenements are considered prospective.

Tasman Resources Ltd holds a 100% interest in the following exploration projects:

  • The Lake Torrens IOCGU Project comprising Exploration Licences 4300, 4322, 4857 and 5366.

  • The Lucas Hill IOCGU Project (EL 4770).

  • The Parkinson Dam Epithermal Gold - Silver Project (EL 4475).

  • The Central Gawler Gold Project (EL 5151).

  • The Mt Boothby Gold-Base Metal Project (EL 5363).

EXPLORATION RESULTS

During the year, the Company spent $1.35 million on various exploration activities. Details of the results of the exploration are outlined below.

Lake Torrens Iron-oxide, Copper-Gold Uranium (IOCGU) Project (100% Tasman)

Vulcan Project

During the year a further two diamond drill holes were completed under the Tasman/Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX) Farm-in Agreement. Subsequently, RTX informed Tasman of its decision not to elect to proceed with earning the Stage 1 Participating Share under the Agreement, and withdrew from the Agreement. Tasman continues as the owner of 100% of the Vulcan Project, which is part of Tasman’s Lake Torrens Project.

All nine holes completed during the term of the Tasman/RTX Farm-in Agreement intersected variable strength iron-oxide copper-gold-uranium (IOCGU) style alteration and mineralisation (see Figures 1 and 2). Although no zones of strong mineralisation were intersected, some thick zones of low grade IOCGU mineralisation was intersected in a number of drill holes. The most encouraging result was obtained for drill hole VUD 15, which intersected (down hole) 145m at 0.49% Cu and 0.26g/t Au from 1191m, including 52m at 0.87% Cu and 0.46g/t Au (further details are included in Table 2 below).

Following the RTX withdrawal Tasman aims to advance exploration at the Lake Torrens Project through either a new joint venture with an appropriate partner or in Tasman’s own right. Preliminary expressions of interest in further exploration were received from a number of larger mining houses, some of which are still currently evaluating the exploration data.

Drilling Results

For all nine drill holes completed under the Tasman/RTX Farm-In, collar locations and drill hole details are included in Table 1 on page 10, and a summary of significant assay results are included in Table 2 on page 10.

Background to Vulcan Discovery

Tasman identified Vulcan, within the Lake Torrens project area, as a prime IOCGU target in 2009, based on the presence of a very large gravity anomaly, supporting magnetic and seismic anomalies and Vulcan’s location close to key tectonic (structural) lineaments, which had previously been used in the original targeting of Olympic Dam by WMC in the mid-1970s. Tasman’s initial discovery drill hole, VUD 001, intersected the Vulcan IOCGU system late in 2009.

Eight diamond drill holes had been completed by Tasman at Vulcan between 2009 and early 2011. All exhibit IOCGU-style alteration and/or mineralisation, including copper, gold, uranium, silver, molybdenum and rare earth elements. Age dating of the mineralisation at about 1,590 million years confirms that Vulcan belongs to the same “family” of deposits as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena.

Tasman entered a Farm In/ Joint Venture with Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX) covering the whole of EL 4322, including the Vulcan discovery. Under the Farm In, RTX paid to Tasman $10 million and Tasman managed an exploration programme consisting of 12,000m of drilling. RTX withdrew from the Farm In in early 2014.

Parkinson Dam Epithermal Gold-Silver Project, South Australia (Tasman 100%)

Tasman Resources has recently reassessed the potential of its Parkinson Dam epithermal gold – silver project in the light of recent discoveries and developments in the region. For example, in October 2013 Investigator Resources Ltd announced an Inferred Mineral Resource containing 20Moz of silver at its Paris Project located to the west of Tasman’s Parkinson Dam Project in a similar regional geological position.

It has also been clear for several years that a large area (stretching for at least 125km), located immediately south of the southern margin of the Gawler Range Volcanics in South Australia (see Figure 3) has potential for shallow epithermal gold–silver and base metal (lead–zinc–silver) deposits. In addition to Paris, significant occurrences in the area include the Menninnie Dam silver-lead-zinc deposit, Weednanna gold prospect, Uno/Morgans (gold, silver, copper prospects) and others.

Tasman’s Parkinson Dam epithermal gold-silver (lead-zinc) prospect occurs on the eastern limit of this large area of interest, but has not been explored at all over the large western portion of the tenement immediately adjacent to but south of the Gawler Range Volcanics (about 18 km[2] , see Figures 3 and 4). This area comprises relatively thin transported cover and will be tested by soil/RAB geochemical sampling programs after completion of an aboriginal heritage survey and the necessary approvals for drilling being obtained from the SA Department of State Development, which may not be until late October, early November.

Recent Work

Recent reconnaissance in the Target Zone area by Tasman has identified fine-grained black pyritic sediments on the mullock heap of an old well. This implies that part of the Target Zone is probably underlain by the Uno Shale, an upper unit of the Corunna Conglomerate, which has not previously been identified in this area. This unit is likely to be more amenable to gold/silver deposition than the conglomerates hosting the known mineralisation to the east, should any epithermal solutions have been channelled through it.

Previous Exploration Results at Parkinson Dam

Tasman discovered outcropping epithermal gold – silver mineralisation at Parkinson Dam in 2005 after following up previous company soil sampling and known copper-gold mineralisation at the Spencer prospect, 20km to the south-east. Subsequent drilling confirmed the presence of widespread, but generally low-grade mineralisation over several square kilometres; however, in one area an intersection of 21m at 21g/t Au and 83g/t Ag was obtained. Selected intersections from drilling include:

  • PD 63: 21m down hole from 179m at 21g/t Au and 83g/t Ag (including 9m from 179m at 31g/t Au and 152g/t Ag)

  • PD 30: 20m down hole from 237m at 0.1g/t Au, 16g/t Ag, 1.2% Pb, 1.5% Zn (including 1.66m down hole from 254.34m at 1.2g/t Au, 120g/t Ag, 7.6% Pb and 10.5% Zn)

This information was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported (refer ASX announcements 14[th] June 2007: “High-Grade Assay Results from Parkinson Dam” (PD 63) and 6[th] November 2006: “High Grade Lead and Zinc at Parkinson Dam” (PD 30), available to view on www.tasmanresources.com.au.)

Lucas Hill IOCGU Project (100% Tasman)

No further drilling was conducted during the year at Lucas Hill prospect on the Stuart Shelf, approximately 25km south east of Woomera. Alteration and weak copper mineralisation were intersected in the initial two holes completed by Tasman early in 2012.

Central Gawler Gold-Nickel Project (100% Tasman)

No further work was conducted by Tasman on these tenements during the year.

Note that all results have been previously released in Announcements and Quarterly Reports through the ASX. Results for drill holes VUD 9 to VUD 15 were first released under the JORC Code 2004, and results for drill holes VUD 16 and VUD 17 were released under JORC Code 2012. The results for drill holes VUD 9 to VUD 15 have not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was previously reported.

Assays are for down hole intersections, and at this stage the true width of the mineralisation intersected is not known. Assay results are based on analysis of both one metre half core diamond saw split samples of NQ diamond drill core and chip samples of core composited over five metre intervals. (Further details are provided in JORC Table 1 below). Average assays for the intervals stated above were calculated by weighting by sample length and sample density.

Samples were crushed and pulverised, and analysed as follows: Au by fire assay using the Genalysis fire assay scheme FA25/MS with a 1 ppb detection limit. Cu was analysed using Genalysis scheme 4A/OE (1ppm detection limit), involving a multi acid digest with an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry finish. Ag and U3O8 were analysed using Genalysis scheme 4A/MS (0.05ppm and 0.01ppm respectively), involving a multi acid digest with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry finish.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board of Directors

The Company’s constitution provides that the number of directors shall not be less than three and not more than ten. There is no requirement for any share holding qualification.

As and if the Company’s activities increase in size, nature and scope the size of the board will be reviewed periodically, and as circumstances demand.

The membership of the board, its activities and composition, is subject to periodic review. The criteria for determining the identification and appointment of a suitable candidate for the board shall include quality of the individual, background of experience and achievement, compatibility with other board members, credibility within the Company’s scope of activities, intellectual ability to contribute to board’s duties and physical ability to undertake board’s duties and responsibilities.

Directors are initially appointed by the full board subject to election by shareholders at the next general meeting. Under the Company’s constitution the tenure of a director (other than managing director, and only one managing director where the position is jointly held) is subject to reappointment by shareholders not later than the third anniversary following his or her last appointment. Subject to the requirements of the Corporation Act 2001, the board does not subscribe to the principle of retirement age and there is no maximum period of service as a director. A managing director may be appointed for any period and on any terms the directors think fit and, subject to the terms of any agreement entered into, may revoke the appointment.

The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of separate or special committees at this time. The board as a whole is able to address the governance aspects of the full scope of the Company’s activities and to ensure that it adheres to appropriate ethical standards.

Role of the Board

The Board’s primary role is the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder value.

To fulfil this role, the board is responsible for oversight of management and the overall corporate governance statement of the Company including its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.

Appointments to Other Boards

Directors are required to take into consideration any potential conflicts of interest when accepting appointments to other boards.

Independent Professional Advice

The Board has determined that individual directors have the right in connection with their duties and responsibilities as directors, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense. With the exception of expenses for legal advice in relation to director’s rights and duties, the engagement of an outside adviser is subject to prior approval of the Chairman and this will not be withheld unreasonably.

Continuous Review of Corporate Governance

Directors consider, on an ongoing basis, how management information is presented to them and whether such information is sufficient to enable them to discharge their duties as directors of the Company. Such information must be sufficient to enable the directors to determine appropriate operating and financial strategies from time to time in light of changing circumstances and economic conditions. The directors recognise that mineral exploration is an inherently risky business and that operational strategies adopted should, notwithstanding, be directed towards improving or maintaining the net worth of the Company.

ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance

The board has reviewed its current practices in light of the ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Guidelines with a view to making amendments where applicable after considering the Company’s size and the resources it has available.

As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the board and the implementation of any additional formal corporate governance committees will be given further consideration.

The following table sets out the Company’s present position with regard to adoption of these Principles.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Remuneration Report (Audited)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Tasman Resources Ltd, and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Tasman Resources Ltd has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific longterm incentives based on key performance areas affecting the economic entity’s financial results. The board of Tasman Resources Ltd believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the economic entity, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the group is that all executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and options.

All directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution where required by the government, which is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Any shares which may be issued to executives would be valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. The Group does not have a policy on directors hedging their shares.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration committee determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. 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. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. To align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

Performance based Remuneration

No performance based remuneration was paid during the year.

Shares Issued on Exercise of Compensation Options

No options were exercised during the year.

Options issued as part of remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2014

No options were issued as part of remuneration during the year.

Tasman Resources Ltd Annual Report for Year Ending 30 June 2014

==> picture [110 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . The financial report of Tasman Resources Limited and controlled entities complies with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board in their entirety.

The financial report covers the consolidated group of Tasman Resources Ltd and controlled entities as at and for the year ended 30 June 2014. Tasman Resources Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Group is a for-profit entity and primarily is involved in mineral exploration in South Australia and clean energy technology through its subsidiary Eden Energy Ltd.

The financial report was authorised for issue on 25 September 2014 by the board of directors.

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

Basis of Preparation

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals 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. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Tasman Resources Ltd’s and Eden Energy Ltd’s functional currency. The functional currencies of Eden Energy Ltd’s subsidiaries are USD, GBP and INR.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Group has reported a loss of $2,005,673 for the year (2013: profit of $7,617,614) and a cash outflow from operating activities of $2,002,344 (2013: cash inflow of $7,198,143).

The directors are confident that the Group, subject to being able to raise further capital, will be able to continue its operations as a going concern. Without such capital, the net loss for the period and the cash outflow from operating activities indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The directors also carefully manage discretionary expenditure in line with the Group’s cash flow.

The continuing applicability of the going concern basis of accounting is dependent upon the Group’s ability to source additional finance. Unless additional finance is received the Group may need to realise assets and settle liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts, which could differ from the amounts at which they are stated in these financial statements.

Accounting Policies

a. Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity Tasman Resources Ltd 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 to direct the activities of the entity. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 18 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

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

Non-controlling 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 charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

b. Income Tax continued

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. 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 group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised.

Tasman Resources Ltd and Noble Energy Pty Ltd, its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The Group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2005. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.

c. Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Costs are assigned on the basis of first-in, first-out.

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 and impairment losses.

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 that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Plant and equipment 15–50%

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in profit or loss.

e. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward where the right to tenure is current and to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

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

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

f. Assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered through sale rather than continuing use.

Immediately before classification as held-for-sale, the assets are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s other accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-forsale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

g. Intangibles

Research and development

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.

Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • g. Intangibles continued

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property, which includes trademarks and engineering knowledge, is included in the financial statements at cost, being their fair value on acquisition.

Intellectual property and trademarks are only amortised or written down where the useful lives are limited or impaired by specific circumstances, in such cases amortisation is charged on a straight line basis over their useful lives and write downs are charged fully when incurred. The directors have assessed the useful life of the intellectual property and have determined that it has a finite useful life. The intellectual property will be amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project. The directors have assessed the useful life of the Optiblend[TM] technology as being 10 years.

  • h. Financial Instruments

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

i. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

  • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

  • retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed of. Intercompany loans are treated as investments for foreign currency translation purposes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • j. Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its non-financial tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

  • k. Investments in Associates

  • Investments in associate companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting recognises the group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of its associates.

  • l. Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

Equity-settled compensation

The Group operates a number of share-based compensation plans. These include both a share option arrangement and an employee share scheme. The bonus element over the exercise price of the employee services rendered in exchange for the grant of shares and options is recognised as an expense in the income statement. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares of the options granted.

  • m. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

  • n. Cash and Cash Equivalents

  • Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments and bank overdrafts.

  • o. Revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

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

  • p. Comparative Figures

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

q. Interest in joint operations The consolidated financial statements include the assets that the Group controls and the liabilities that it incurs in the course of pursuing the joint operation and the expenses that the Group incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the joint operation.

  • r. New accounting standards and interpretations

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (2011), AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements and AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (2011).

These standards were adopted on 1 July 2013 and have been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The adoption of these standards had no impact on the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities.

s. Segment reporting

Segment results that are reported to the Group’s board of directors (the chief operating decision maker) include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • t. Ordinary shares

  • Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity.

  • u. New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted

  • A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2013, and 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, AASB 1031 Materiality, and AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments.

  • v. Key estimates

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

Key Estimates – Exploration and evaluation

The Group’s policy for exploration and evaluation is discussed in Note 1(e). The application of this policy requires management to make certain assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. At the date of this report the Group has sufficient reason to believe:

  • rights to explore in specific areas, once expired, will be renewed;

  • substantive expenditure on exploration and evaluation in specific areas has been budgeted;

  • exploration in specific areas is ongoing and the Group has not decided to discontinue; and

  • no specific sufficient data exists that indicates that the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered.

Key Estimates — Impairment

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

  • Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections.

  • Costs have been based on historical amounts adjusted for CPI increase.

  • A 30% discount rate was utilised to recognise inherent risk in the forecasts.

There is a significant risk of actual outcomes being different from those forecasted due to changes in economic or market conditions and events.

Key Estimates — Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity settled transactions with suppliers by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments as at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model. Refer to Note 30 for the inputs to the Black-Scholes model.

The benefit of the tax losses will only be obtained if the Group complies with conditions imposed by the tax legislation.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Tasman Resources Ltd

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Tasman Resources Ltd, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the directors also state that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

==> picture [595 x 102] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [88 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Tasman Resources Ltd, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the financial report of Tasman Resources Ltd is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.

Emphasis of Matter

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the Financial Report, which indicates that the Group will require further funding in the next twelve months from the date of this report to fund its operations. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Report on the remuneration report

We have audited the remuneration report included of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2014. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the remuneration report of Tasman Resources Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2014, complies with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Nature and quality of sampling (EG cut channels,
random chips or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of
any measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report. In cases where
“industry standard” work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg “reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30g charge for fire assay”). In
other cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.

All samples have been obtained from NQ2 diamond drill core.
See further details below.

In general, core recovery at Vulcan is 100% or close to it, and
normally drilling will fill a six metre core barrel with each run. Rare
instances where core loss is apparent are documented. Each piece
of drill core is washed and carefully placed in plastic core trays for
geological logging.

Mineralisation at Vulcan is essentially disseminated in nature,
and half core, NQ2 split samples, collected over one metre intervals
is believed to be appropriate. The composite samples prepared
from small core chips are clearly less representative, and as
mentioned, any significant mineralisation returned for such samples
is confirmed by half core splitting and re-assaying over one metre
intervals.
Drilling
techniques.

Drill type (eg. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka etc.) and
details (eg. core diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc.).

All drilling at Vulcan is conducted by first pre-collaring holes with
reverse circulation drilling to approximately 150m, and completing
the hole with a combination of HQ and NQ2 diamond drilling. All
basement core is NQ2 size. Standard, 6m core barrels are
generally used, and core is oriented using a Reflex ACT tool.
Drill sample
recovery.

Whether core and chip sample recoveries have
been properly recorded and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.

Most diamond drilling at Vulcan results in 100% core recovery
or close to it. In rare cases where there has been some core loss,
this is measured and recorded by the geologist logging the core.
There has been no need to use, for example, triple tubes to
enhance core recovery.

As sample recovery is or close to 100% no special measures
have been required.

As sample recovery is 100% or close to it no investigation of a
potential relationship between grade and sample recovery has been
conducted.
Logging.
Whether core and chip samples have been logged
to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel etc.) photography.

The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.

Logging is conducted in detail at the drill site by the site
geologist, who routinely records lithology and rock textures,
alteration, mineralisation, structures or any other relevant features.
A semi-quantitative estimate of the strength of uranium
mineralisation is made with a hand held scintillometer, and this is
recorded in the drill logs. Core is logged both descriptively and with
digital codes. All basement drill core is logged in detail; the
overlying sedimentary cover sequence is logged in less detail. Each
tray of basement core is photographed, and separate photos of
specific geological details are also collected. It is considered to be
logged at a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation and mining studies.

Logging is qualitative in nature.

The entire interval of basement drill core in each hole is logged.

Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation.

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter,
half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grainsize of the material being sampled.

Sawn, half core is taken for analysis.

No non-core samples are taken.

Where significant mineralisation is believed to be present, core
is halved or split with a diamond saw; if mineralisation is not
homogeneously distributed in sections of the core, the geologist
logging the core will have marked up those sections to ensure
representivity between each half of the core when it is split. One
metre long samples of half core are then removed for analysis. If
little, or no significant mineralisation is present, small pieces of core
are cut out at 25cm intervals and composited over several metres
(often 5m intervals) for assay. If assay reveals significant
mineralisation in these composite samples, then re-assay on one
metre intervals following splitting is conducted.
Mineralisation at Vulcan is essentially disseminated in nature, and
half core, NQ2 split samples, collected over one metre intervals is
believed to be appropriate. The composite samples prepared from
small core chips are clearly less representative, and as mentioned,
any significant mineralisation returned for such samples is
confirmed by half core splitting and re-assaying over one metre
intervals. Field duplicate/second-half sampling is not considered
appropriate.
Quality
of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests.

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether
the technique is considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometer, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining
the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie.
lack of bias) and precision have been established.

Samples were crushed and pulverised, and analysed as follows:
Au by fire assay using the Genalysis scheme FA25/MS with a 1 ppb
detection limit. Cu was analysed by inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrography by Genalysis 4A/OE scheme (1ppm detection
limit), and Ag and U3O8 by the Genalysis 4A/MS scheme (0.05ppm
and 0.01ppm respectively). Density was determined by gas
pycnometer. These procedures are considered appropriate for the
elements and style of mineralisation. Analysis is considered total.

As noted above, a handheld scintillometer is used to assess
semi-quantitatively the strength of any uranium mineralisation, but
these data are not included in any database.

The laboratory uses a number of internal quality control
procedures in place (eg. standards, blanks, duplicates etc.) and
Tasman includes a quality control standard of its own with each
batch of samples. These quality control data are assessed
continuously, and believed to be adequate in achieving accuracy
andprecision.
Verification
of sampling
and
assaying.

The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation
of
primary
data,
data
entry
procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Significant intersections are determined by company personnel,
and checked internally.

No twinned holes have been drilled at this stage nor are they
practical considering the depth to basement.

Individual sample numbers are generated and matched with
down hole depths at a custom core processing facility in Adelaide.
Sample numbers are then used to match assays when received
from the laboratory. Verification of data is managed and checked by
company personnel with extensive experience. All data is stored
electronically, with industry standard systems and backups.

Data is not subject to anyadjustments.
Location of
data points.

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill
holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Collar locations were determined by hand held GPS and are
accurate to approximately +/- 5m (northing and easting); GPS
derived RLs are not sufficiently accurate for use, and a combination
of values obtained during gravity surveying and from Google Earth
are used. Down hole surveying of drill holes is conducted using a
single shot down hole camera with digital readout.

The grid system used is Geodetic Datum of Australia 1994;
MGA Zone 53.

Topographic control is not a significant issue due to the
generally flat topography. Measurements of RL from Google Earth
are considered in conjunction with more accurate data obtained
during gravitysurveys over the Vulcan area.

Data
spacing
and
distribution.

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource
and
Ore
Reserve
estimation
procedure(s)
and
classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Drill holes are not spaced on a regular grid due to topographical
features on the surface, Aboriginal heritage issues and the early
stage nature of the prospect.

No continuity or correlation between drill holes is implied at this
stage.

Some sample compositing is used in zones of non-significant
mineralisation(see sections above)
Orientation
of data in
relation
to
geological
structure.

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the deposit
type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.

At this stage the relationship between the orientation of
geological structures and the drill holes is not known.

This is discussed and addressed in the body of the
announcement or report. It is likely that the thicknesses of any
intersections reported as down hole thicknesses, are not the true
widths of the intersections.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

All core is contained in core trays, which are packed onto pallets
at the drill site by company personnel. The core trays are covered,
then tightly secured with steel strapping prior to transport initially to
a local freight yard and then trans-shipped to the Adelaide custom
coreprocessingfacility. No tamperinghas occurred to date.
Audits
or
reviews.

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

No review or audits of sampling techniques or data have been
conducted.

The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

Exploration Licence No 4322, is located approximately 13km
north of Olympic Dam, South Australia and owned 100% by
Tasman Resources Ltd.
The EL is subject to a Farm-In/Joint Venture Agreement between
Tasman Resources Ltd and Rio Tinto Exploration. There are no
partnerships or royalties involved. The EL is partially covered by
the Kokatha Uwankara native title claim (SC2009/01), and
agreements between the claimants and Tasman designed to
protect Aboriginal heritage sites. There are no historical or
wilderness sites or national parks or known environmental settings
that affect the Vulcan prospect.

Tasman has secure tenure over the EL at the time of reporting
and there are no known impediments to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area.
Exploration

by
other
parties.

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.

The first drill hole in the area was drilled in 1981 by WMC
Resources, but was drilled off Tasman’s current Vulcan target,
and no mineralisation was intersected. Tasman’s former joint
venture partner WCP Resources Ltd conducted some ground
gravity surveying, data processing and modelling, but conducted
no further work. No other exploration has been conducted by other
parties, apart from regional geophysical surveys by Government
Departments. Tasman discovered Vulcan prospect in November
2009, with the drillingof VUD 001.
Geology.
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

Vulcan is emerging as a major iron-oxide, copper gold uranium
type system (IOCGU), with many geological similarities to Olympic
Dam, about 30km south. Vulcan occurs within basement rocks
beneath approximately 800m of younger, flat-lying sedimentary
cover rocks. Vulcan has been dated at 1,586 +/- 8 million years
old, the same at Olympic Dam (Proterozoic age).
Only a very limited number of drill holes have been completed
within a very large target area, and there are still many questions
to be resolved, such as host rocks, regional structural settingetc.

Data
aggregation
methods.

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (eg. cutting of high grades) and cut-
off grades are usually material and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low
grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.

Average assays for the intervals stated above were calculated
by weighting by sample length and sample density. There has
been no cutting of high grades, unless specifically noted. For
individual assays below the lower limit of detection, a grade of half
the detection limit has been applied, although this is rare.

Generally assays are relatively consistent within averaged
intervals. If particularly high grade samples diluted by lower grade
samples were returned, then this would be highlighted specifically.

No metal equivalent values have been calculated.
Relationshi
p
between
mineralisati
on
widths and
intercept
lengths.

These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.

If it is not known and only the down-hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this
effect(eg. ‘downhole length, true width not known’).

At the current stage of evaluation of Vulcan, the orientation of
mineralisation is not known with any certainty, and hence all
statements regarding drill hole intersections are clarified with the
comment that intersections are “down hole”.
Diagrams.
Where possible, maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
material discovery being reported if such diagrams
significantly clarify the report.

Diagrams showing a plan view of drill hole collar locations and
any appropriate sectional view are included.
Balanced
reporting.

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting of
both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.

It is impracticable to report all assay results due to the multi-
element nature of the mineralisation and the substantial
thicknesses involved (these can be hundreds of metres).
Accordingly, intervals for reporting have been selected having
regard for the main elements of potential economic significance in
IOCGU systems (copper, gold, uranium), at levels and widths
considered to exhibit a high degree of anomalism, potential to
provide vectors to economic mineralisation or represent potentially
economic material.
Other
substantive
exploration
data.

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,
should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.

Any other substantive exploration data such as pertinent
geological observations, petrographic data, geochronological data,
geophysical results are included where appropriate.
Further
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg.
tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive

The nature and timing of planned further work is included in the
report.
