SUMMARY OF PERUVIAN PROJECTS
The company is focused on precious and base metal exploration projects which are located in Peru’s mineral rich Western Cordillera region.
Exploration concessions are located close to world class deposits developed by Barrick, Newmont, Xstrata, BHP Billiton and Vale.
During the year the Company made several announcements regarding the progress of exploration at the Quinual and Alumbre project located in the La Libertad Department, following earlier outstanding geophysics results returned on these properties.
The region hosts several world class gold and copper mines including El Galena, Conga and Tantahuatay.
The company also holds concessions in the Ancash and Huancavelica Departments.
ALUMBRE PROJECT
Background
The Alumbre Project is a Cu-Mo porphyry system located 70km southeast of Trujillo in northern Peru (refer to Figure 1). The project is serviced by the nearby Pan Americana Highway and includes excellent infrastructure to the project area (refer to Figure 1). The Alumbre Project area consists of approximately 2,200ha which adjoins a larger regional concession holding area of approximately 24,600ha. Promesa has control of the concessions either through outright ownership of through option to purchase agreements.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The area was partially explored by Newmont, Savage Resources and Pasminco in the early to late 1990’s. Savage Resources focused on the areas of low-sulphidation epithermal veining some distance away from the current focus of Promesa.
The Company has completed extensive exploration work on the Alumbre Project. This includes detailed geological mapping, rock geochemistry, ground magnetics, induced polarisation (IP) geophysics and alteration mineral mapping. Alteration mineralogy has been determined using a hand held spectrometer and thin-section microscopic petrology. Sulphide mineral identification has been determined using a scanning electron microscope. This work indicates that a significant sulphide-bearing porphyry system exists at Alumbre. The data indicates that the present land surface is between the lower parts the epithermal environment and the upper parts of the porphyry environment.
Induced polarisation (IP) geophysics program has revealed a strong chargeability anomaly extending from near surface to below the modelled 600m depth (refer to Figure 2). The IP anomaly identified by Promesa is located approximately 500m southeast of Savage Resources drill hole CJK-1 which returned 110m at 0.12g/t Au (including 8m at 0.50g/t Au).
==> picture [392 x 232] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2 – Alumbre Project Dec 2012 Geophysics Chargeability Results at 400m depth
The IP anomaly is approximately 700m wide and 1500m long with a large chargeable volume and is open at depth. The chargeability anomaly has a size and intensity commensurate with what would be expected from a moderate to large sized mineralised porphyry system
Alteration mineralogy has been determined using a hand held spectrometer and thin-section microscopic petrology. Sulphide mineral identification has been determined using a scanning electron microscope. This work indicates that a significant sulphide-bearing porphyry system exists at Alumbre. The data indicates that the present land surface is between the lower parts the epithermal environment and the upper parts of the porphyry environment.
Independent consultants have been engaged throughout the exploration programs (i.e. geophysics program, mapping phases, reinterpreted estimate magnetic susceptibility) and have confirmed the prospectivity of the property and the high-sulphidation to porphyry environment.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Following the geophysics program, a detailed geological mapping and geochemical sampling program was undertaken and completed. More than 600 surface rock samples have been collected over the project spread between concessions Magdalenita 19 (306 samples), Gaya 104 ( 272 samples), and Magdalenita 18 (54 samples). Detailed mapping shows several intrusive units are partially overlain by volcanic tuffs as illustrated in Figure 3. Strong argillic and silica alteration of the intrusive and volcanic units is present at surface over the area of the chargeability anomaly. Figures 4 to 6 illustrate the geochemical results from the expanded sampling and mapping program over the project area at Alumbre. The strongly argillic area appears to form a geochemically depleted lithocap interpreted to be from intense acid leaching and late-stage hydrothermal alteration.

The Company’s spectrometer specialist has identified hydrothermal alteration mineral species using a Terraspec spectrometer (refer to Figure 7 illustrating the results). Alteration mapping, assisted by the results of the Terraspec spectrometer, have determined that a valid porphyry-style alteration system exists, with the strongest argillic and silica-clay alteration over the area of the chargeability anomaly. The hydrothermal system appears to have multiple intrusive centres, each possibly representative of a separate intrusive event.

Exploration Update
During the year to June 30, 2014, the company completed and gained all government, property access and social approvals for drilling on the Alumbre Project. A 1985.5m diamond drill program over 5 diamond drill holes was completed during the period (refer to Figure 8 and 9).
Field work on other properties related to reconnaissance visits to further properties offered to the Company was also undertaken.
The Alumbre Project joint venture partners Oban S.A.C had renegotiated terms with respect to the required airborne geophysics program to be completed Promesa by November 2013. This term was renegotiated to the extent that a 12 month extension was agreed between Oban Mining and Promesa. Quotations for the geophysics program over the Magdalena and Alumbre concessions have been received.

Figure 10 – Cross Section View at 9,065,750 N of drillholes 3, 4 and 5 with andesitic volcanics (green colour) overlying porphyritic tonalites and diorite intrusives (beige colour) at Alumbre.
The mineralisation is associated with strongly potassic, felsic to intermediate intrusives, hydrothermal breccias and andesitic tuffs. The potassic alteration is represented by secondary biotite and potassium feldspar. The geological sequence is represented by various andesitic crystal tuffs which overlay porphyritic tonalite and dioritic intrusive rocks.
In recent years magnetic modelling using new methods like MVI have been used to outline porphyry targets particularly at low altitudes (G. Ellis, B. Wet and I. Macleod 2012) and applied by major mining companies to target and generate new exploration prospects. Terra Resources Consultant had reinterpreted historical ground magnetic data using Magnetic Vector Inversion (MVI) methodology to estimate magnetic susceptibility. MVI takes into account geological processes such as local tectonics and alteration to solve for both the magnitude and direction of the rock’s magnetisation, providing a more accurate picture of subsurface geology than traditional susceptibility models. The MVI model depicts a significant area of interest at Alumbre (1.9km by 2.1km) as illustrated in Figure 11. There is a clear association of magnetite with copper mineralisation as illustrated in Figure 12. In recent years magnetic modelling using methods like MVI have been used to outline porphyry targets particularly at low attitudes.
The MVI model shows that ALDD14005 intersected the magnetic model approximately at the location of the strongly mineralised intercept of 7m at 0.72% Cu. Drilling to date has shown that the mineralisation is associated with strongly potassic felsic to intermediate intrusives, hydrothermal

breccias and andesitic tuffs and that there is a correlation between magnetite and copper sulphide mineralisation.
The large MVI anomaly clearly extends in all directions outside the Company’s surveyed magnetic data area. The MVI image indicates the potential for multiple porphyry intrusive centres. Large porphyry systems are generally clustered within camps extending for about ten kilometres. The extension of the MVI image outside of the current data area indicates the potential for discovery of a new regional porphyry camp. The magnetic susceptibility readings and magnetic modelling using the MVI method, geochemistry, structure, alteration, geophysics and stage 1 drill program. All combine to indicate the district-scale potential of the Alumbre project. Indications are that a significant sulphide-bearing porphyry system exists at Alumbre.

The company has received approval for new platforms and four extra holes to be drilled at Alumbre. Therefore, assuming commencement of drilling by mid-August 2014, assay result will be only be released to the market by early December 2014.
The company is applying for a semi-detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIAsd) for a third stage drill program over a broader area than currently allowed under the current DIA to investigate high Cu geochemistry and magnetic susceptibility targets. This process will take approximately 3 to 4 months.
The company with assistance of our legal counsel in Lima is also investigating the option of purchasing surface rights over project area which is held by the Government the Superintendencia de Bienes Nacionales (SBN) which is the government department responsible for Land Titles, Land Use, Housing, Construction Water and Sanitation.
The Company has recently completed magnetic susceptibility measurements of the drill core. This information will be used to update the modelling of the magnetic susceptibility and understanding of the potential porphyry system which may be associated with the magnetic anomaly.

Exploration Update
Exploration activity has demonstrated that geochemical and geophysical results improve to the south of the prospect and further mapping and sampling is planned for in the last quarter of 2015. This work will coincide with the commencement of community and social engagement to prepare the project for environmental studies and potential drilling to be undertaken in the first half 2015.
OLLEROS PROJECT
Background
The Olleros prospect is located in the central Andes of Peru, near the major cities of Huaraz and Recuay in the Ancash Department. Olleros is a district where significant exploration activity is currently being undertaken by major mining companies. The Olleros Project is surrounded by a concession held by Barrick Gold Corporation.
Olleros is in the same geological, structural and metallogenic corridor as Barrick’s Pierina Gold Mine, which is a low cost and multimillion ounce production operation. The Olleros concession of 3600 ha, has been applied for based on the geological assessment of 5 alteration zones found in an area of 12km x 6 km as illustrated Figure 19. The areas are Parianan, Antacocha, Pariapata, Huantume and Aco. Each area demonstrates alteration zones with the potential for epithermal and porphyry occurrences. Mineralisation is hosted in volcanic rocks of the Calipuy Group, intruded by porphyritic bodies composed of dacites and riodacite. Geochemical results for gold, copper and molybdenum anomalies show encouraging values.

PROMESA LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Olleros was the subject of exploration in the early 1990's. Work conducted included geochemical, geophysical and diamond drilling by various mining companies including Barrick, IRL Peru, Teck and Meridian.
The concessions are within the corridor of Au and Cu deposits of the Cordillera Blanca hosted by Calipuy Group volcanic rocks, dacite to rhyodacitic intrusives and pyroclastic tuffs. Regional controls on mineralisation in the area are regional NW-SE faults and local NE-SW faults. The best known deposit of this corridor is Barrick’s Pierina Mine. This prospect will increase the Company concession base and further strengthen the Company’s exploration footprint in Peru.
Exploration Update
The Company is currently assessing social and community issues within the concession area and is planning to undertake further sampling and mapping of these concessions.
NEW PROJECTS
Promesa continues to be active in evaluating potential new projects in order to complement existing exploration activity within Peru. The company has also applied for several concessions within Peru and is awaiting registration from Ingemmet (part of the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines).
Operating Results
The Loss of the Consolidated Group after providing for income tax interests amounted to $1,157,013 (2013: $6,844,874).
Dividends Paid or Recommended
No Dividends were paid or declared for payment.
Financial Position
The net assets of the Consolidated Group have increased by $1,367,302 from $3,502,644 on 30 June 2013 to $4,869,946 on 30 June 2014.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon successfully raising sufficient working capital and managing cashflow in line with available funds.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
PROMESA LIMITED
Future Developments, Prospects and Business Strategies
Likely future developments in the operations of the Group are referred to elsewhere in the Annual Report. Other than as referred to in this report, further information as to likely developments in the operations of the Group and expected results of those operations would, in the opinion of the Directors, be speculative and prejudicial to the interests of the Group and its shareholders.
Environmental Issues
The Consolidated Group's activities are subject to the environmental risks inherent in the exploration industry. The Consolidated Group will be subject to environmental laws and regulations in connection with operations it may pursue in the mining and exploration industry, which operations are currently in Peru. The Consolidated Group intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws. However, the Consolidated Group may be the subject of accidents or unforeseen circumstances that could potentially subject the Consolidated Group to extensive liability.
Further, the Consolidated Group may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Consolidated Group from undertaking its desired activities. The Consolidated Group is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Consolidated Group's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
The Consolidated Group considered the NGER Act and based on the current position is satisfied that it will not impact on the Consolidated Group’s compliance.

PROMESA LIMITED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Board of Directors is responsible for the corporate governance of the Consolidated Group. The Board guides and monitors business activities and affairs of the Consolidated Group on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. The Consolidated Group has adopted systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with Consolidated Group’s needs. The Corporate Governance Statement has been structured with reference to ASX Corporate Governance Council’s (“council”) “Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practise Recommendations” to the extent that they are applicable to the Consolidated Group.
Information about the Consolidated Group’s corporate governance practises are set out below.
Board of Directors
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 the overall corporate governance of the entity including formulating its strategic direction, approving and monitoring capital expenditure, setting remuneration, appointing, removing and creating succession policies for Directors and senior executives, establishing and monitoring the achievement of management’s goals and ensuring the integrity of internal control and management information systems. It is also responsible for approving and monitoring financial and other reporting.
Board Processes
The Board has established a framework for the management of the entity including a system of internal control, a business risk management process and appropriate ethical standards.
The full Board schedules meetings, including strategy meetings and any extraordinary meetings, as necessary to address any specific significant matters that may arise. The agenda for meetings is prepared in conjunction with the Chairman and Company Secretary. Standing items include the management report, financial reports, strategic matters, governance and compliance. Submissions are circulated in advance.
The entity is not currently considered to be of a size, nor is its affairs of such complexity to justify the establishment of separate Board committees, including a Nomination Committee, Remuneration Committee or an Audit Committee. Accordingly, all matters that may be considered by such committees are dealt with by the full Board. Details of the Board’s procedures in respect to each of these areas are further outlined within the Corporate Governance Statement below – see Nomination Committee, Remuneration Committee and Audit committee respectively.
Director Education
The Consolidated Group has a formal process to educate new Directors about the nature of the business, current issues, the corporate strategy and the expectations of the entity concerning performance of Directors. Directors also have the opportunity to visit entity facilities and meet with management to gain a better understanding of business operations. Directors are given access to continuing education opportunities to update and enhance their skills and knowledge.
32 | P a g e
PROMESA LIMITED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Independent Professional Advice and Access to Consolidated Group Information
Each Director has the right of access to all relevant Consolidated Group information and to the Consolidated Group’s executives and, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman, may seek independent professional advice from a suitably qualified adviser at the entity’s expense. The Director must consult with an advisor suitably qualified in the relevant field, and obtain the Chairman’s approval of the fee payable for the advice before proceeding with the consultation. A copy of the advice received by the Director is made available to all other members of the Board.
Composition of the Board
The names of the Directors of the Consolidated Group in office at the date of this report are set out in the Directors’ Report.
The composition of the Board is determined using the following principles:
-
A minimum of three Directors, with a broad range of expertise both nationally and internationally
-
Directors having extensive knowledge of the Consolidated Group’s industries, and those which do not, have extensive expertise in significant aspects of auditing and financial reporting, or risk management and financing of public companies
-
The roles of Chairman and Managing Director are not to be exercised by the same individual.
Board members have experience in the management of public companies. The Board currently does not have a majority of independent Directors as recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. The Directors consider that, given the current size and stage of development of the Consolidated Group, the current number of independent Directors in the Consolidated Group is appropriate for the effective execution of the Board’s responsibilities. The Directors periodically monitor the need to appoint additional independent Directors.
During the year, Mr Hersh Solomon Majteles and Mr Timothy Wise were considered “Independent Directors” in terms of ASX Recommendations as they did not hold a substantial amount of shares in the Consolidated Group.
Chairman
The Chairman is an Independent Director and has been selected to bring specific skills and industry experience relevant to the Consolidated Group.
Nomination Committee
The Board considers that a formally constituted Nomination Committee is not appropriate as the Board, as part of its usual role, oversees the appointment and induction process for Directors, and the selection, appointment and succession planning process of the Consolidated Group’s executive officers. The Board considers the appropriate skill mix, personal qualities, expertise and diversity of each position. When a vacancy exists or there is a need for particular skills, the Board determines the selection criteria based on the skills deemed necessary. The Board identifies potential candidates and may take advice from an external consultant. The Board then appoints the most
33 | P a g e
PROMESA LIMITED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
suitable candidate. Board candidates must stand for election at the next general meeting of shareholders.
The Chairman of the Board continually reviews the effectiveness of the Board, individual Directors, and senior executives. The other Directors have an opportunity to contribute to the review process. The reviews generate recommendations to the Board, which votes on them. Directors displaying unsatisfactory performance are required to retire.
Remuneration Committee
The Board considered that a formally constituted Remuneration Committee is not appropriate as the Board, as part of its usual role, oversees the appointment and remuneration of Directors and the Consolidated Group’s executive officers. Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced Directors and senior executives. The Board may seek independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages, given trends in comparative companies both locally and internationally. Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed remuneration, performance-based remuneration, and equity-based remuneration.
The remuneration structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, and to affect the broader outcome of maximising the Consolidated Group’s profitability. The remuneration structures take into account:
-
Overall level of remuneration for each Director and executive;
-
The executive’s ability to control the performance of the relevant area; and
-

Audit Committee
The Consolidated Group is not currently considered to be of a size, nor is its affairs of such complexity to justify the establishment of a separate Audit Committee. Whilst the Consolidated Group does not have a formally constituted Audit Committee, the Board, as part of its usual role, undertakes audit related responsibilities including:
-
Reviewing the annual and interim financial reports and other financial information distributed externally. This includes approving new accounting policies to ensure compliance with Australian Accounting Standards and generally accepted accounting principles, and assessing whether the financial information is adequate for shareholders needs;
-
Assessing corporate risk assessment processes;

Risk Management
Overview of the Risk Management System
The Board adopts practices designed to identify significant areas of business risk and to effectively manage those risks in accordance with the Consolidated Group’s risk profile. This includes assessing, monitoring and managing operational, financial reporting and compliance risks for the Consolidated Group. The Consolidated Group is not of a size nor is its affairs of such complexity to justify the establishment of a formal system for reporting risk management and associated compliance and controls. Instead, a Director, in accordance with Consolidated Group policy, approves all expenditure, is intimately acquainted with all operations and reports all relevant issues to the other Directors at the Directors’ meetings. The company secretary has declared to the Board, that the aforementioned system is working efficiently and effectively. The operational and other compliance risk management have also been assessed and found to be operating efficiently and effectively. All risk assessments covered the entire part of the financial year that the Consolidated Group operated and the period up to the signing of the annual financial report for all material operations in the Consolidated Group.
Risk Profile
The Consolidated Group is not currently considered to be of a size, nor is its affairs of such complexity to justify the establishment of a separate Risk Management Committee. Instead, the Board, as part of its usual role and through direct involvement in the management of the Consolidated Group’s operations ensures risks are identified, assessed and appropriately managed.
35 | P a g e
PROMESA LIMITED
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Where necessary, the Board draws on the expertise of appropriate external consultants to assist in dealing with or mitigating risk.
Major risks arise from such matters as actions by competitors, government policy changes, difficulties in sourcing raw materials, the robustness of the technologies being used or proposed to be used, environment, occupational health and safety, financial reporting and the purchase, development and use of information systems.
Risk Management, Compliance and Control

-
Occupational health & safety standards and management systems are monitored and reviewed to achieve high standards of performance and compliance with regulations;
-

Through this Code, the Consolidated Group seeks to encourage and develop a culture of professionalism, honesty and responsibility in order to maintain and enhance our reputation as a valued employer, business operator and “corporate citizen”. The Code is designed to broadly outline the ways in which the Consolidated Group wishes to conduct its business. The Code does not cover every possible situation that employees may face, but is intended to provide employees with a guide to taking a common-sense approach to any given situation, within an overall framework.

Diversity
The Company believes that the promotion of diversity on Boards, in senior management and within the organisation generally:
-
broadens the pool for recruitment of high quality Directors and employees;
-
is likely to support employee retention;
-
through the inclusion of different perspectives, is likely to encourage greater innovation; and
-
is socially and economically responsible governance practice.
Currently there are no women employed by the organisation, in senior executive positions, or on the Board. Given the present size of the Consolidated Group, there are no plans to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity at this time. The need for establishing and assessing measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity will be re-assessed as the size of the Consolidated Group increases.
Communication with Shareholders
The Board has formally documented the Consolidated Group’s continuous disclosure procedures and established a Compliance policy. The Board, as part of its usual role, provides shareholders with information using comprehensive continuous disclosure processes which includes identifying matters that may have a material effect on the price of the Consolidated Group’s securities, notifying them to the ASX and issuing media releases.
In summary, the continuous disclosure processes operate as follows:
-
The Chairman and the company secretary are responsible for all communications with the ASX. Matters that may have an effect on the price of the Consolidated Group’s securities are advised to the ASX on the day they are discovered. Senior executives monitor all areas of the Consolidated Group’s internal and external environment;
-
The full annual financial report is made available to all shareholders, and includes relevant information about the operations of the Consolidated Group during the year, changes in the state of affairs and details of future developments;
-

PROMESA LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Promesa Limited an Australian listed Public Company incorporated in Western Australia and its controlled entities (‘Consolidated Group’ or ‘Group’).
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . The financial report has been prepared in Australian Dollars, the currency of the legal parent entity. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group incurred a loss for the year of $1,157,013 (2013: $6,844,874) and a net cash outflow from operating activity of $2,530,799 (2013: $3,605,731). Included in the loss for the year was impairment of exploration expenditure of $182,753 (2013: $5,591,908). As at 30 June 2014 the company had a working capital deficit of $266,861 (2013: deficit of $153,849).
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Group to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets or by other means, and by managing cash flows in line with available funds, and / or the successful development of the Group's exploration assets. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern.
On 28[th] August 2014, the Company raised $683,000 before costs from the issue of 27,320,000 shares at $0.025 through a Share Purchase Plan. On 10[th] September 2014, the company raised a further $1,000,000 from the issue of 40,000,000 shares at $0.025.
Based upon cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, including the meeting of exploration commitments. In addition, given the Group's history of raising funds to date, the directors are confident of the Group's ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required.
Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
PROMESA LIMITED
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent, Promesa Limited, and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 19 to the financial statements.
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Consolidated Group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).
All inter-group 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 consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.
Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where control over another business is obtained and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities. All business combinations, including those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the purchase method. The purchase method requires an acquirer of the business to be identified and for the cost of the acquisition and fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities to be determined as at acquisition date, being the date that control is obtained. Cost is determined as the aggregate of fair values of assets given, equity issued and liabilities assumed in exchange for control together with costs directly attributable to the business combination.
Acquisition related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Goodwill is recognised initially at the excess of cost over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If the fair value of the acquirer’s interest is greater than cost, the surplus is immediately recognised in profit or loss.
Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. 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.
46 | P a g e
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
PROMESA LIMITED
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Exploration and Development Expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage 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.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
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.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.
Financial Instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.
47 | P a g e
PROMESA LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
ii. Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
iii. Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Consolidated Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
iv. Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
v. Financial Liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Consolidated Group reviews the carrying values of its 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 Consolidated Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Consolidated 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
48 | P a g e
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
PROMESA LIMITED
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 12 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.
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.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Comparative balances represent the balances of the legal parent.
Foreign Currency Translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Promesa Limited's functional and presentation currency.
49 | P a g e
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
PROMESA LIMITED
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Translation differences on financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity.
(iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
-
Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless that is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
-
All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (ie unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
50 | P a g e
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
PROMESA LIMITED
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (ie the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity's own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.
Valuation techniques
In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches:
Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value.
Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.
Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.
Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:
51 | P a g e
PROMESA LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
Level 1
Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2
Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3
Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.
The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances:
(i) if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or
(ii) if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa.
When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
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 within the Consolidated Group.
Impairment
The Consolidated Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Consolidated 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.
Exploration and evaluation costs
Acquisition, exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance sheet date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in or relating to, the area of interest are continuing.
52 | P a g e
PROMESA LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
Income tax
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on the best estimates of Directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Consolidated Group as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the Directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that Directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian and Peruvian Tax authorities.
Share based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the assumptions detailed in note 26.
Environmental issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the Directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Consolidated Group’s development and its current environmental impact the Directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.
Application of new and revised Accounting Standards
New and revised AASB’s affecting amounts reported and/or disclosures in the financial statements
In the current year, the Group has applied a number of new and revised AASB’s issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are mandatorily effective from an accounting period on or after 1 January 2013.
The Group has applied AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ for the first time in the current year. AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of AASB 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of AASB 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items.
AASB 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under AASB 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, AASB 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.
In addition, standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures were adopted. The impact of the application of these standards is not material.
Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted
At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective.
The Group does not anticipate that there will be a material effect on the financial statements from the adoption of these standards.

The value of the Consolidated Group’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:
-
the continuance of the Consolidated Group’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
-
the results of future exploration; and
the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.
The Consolidated Group’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to native people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.
During the year the Group decided to relinquish its interests in the Claudia 2007 and 2008 concessions in its Magdalena project, as a result all costs associated with these concessions were impaired.

Capital management
The Consolidated Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being gold exploration, the Consolidated Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Consolidated Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Consolidated Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Consolidated Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The working capital position of the Consolidated Group at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 are as follows

NOTE 22: SEGMENT REPORTING
Segment Information
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
The Group is managed primarily on the basis of mining exploration and treasury activities. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.
Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics.
Types of reportable segments:
- (i) Tenement exploration and evaluation:
The exploration of current project and the evaluation of new ones are reported in this segment. Segment assets, including acquisition costs of exploration licences and all expenses related to the tenements are reported in this segment.
- (ii) Treasury
The reporting relating to income from cash holdings is reported in this segment.
Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial Report of the Group.
Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.
Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, investments in financial assets, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have not been allocated to operating segments.
Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated.
Unallocated items
The following items of revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments, as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:
-
net gains on disposal of available-for-sale investments;
-
impairment of assets excluding exploration assets and other non-recurring items of revenue or expense;
-
income tax expense;
-
deferred tax assets and liabilities;
-
trade payable and other payables;
-
intangible assets.

NOTE 25: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
a. Financial Risk Management Policies
The Consolidated Group financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks.
The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for Consolidated Group operations.
The Consolidated Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments.
i. Treasury Risk Management The Board meets on a regular basis to analyse financial risk exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.
The Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Consolidated Group in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance.
Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board on a regular basis.
iii. Financial Risk Exposures and Management
Interest rate risk
The Consolidated Group exposure to financial risk is limited to interest rate risk arising from assets and liabilities bearing variable interest rates. The weighted average interest rate on cash holdings is 1.70% at the 30 June 2014. All other assets and liabilities are non interest bearing. The net fair value of the Consolidated Group‘s financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value.
The Consolidated Group holds cash deposits with Australian banking financial institutions, namely the Westpac bank. Westpac has an AA rating with Standard & Poors counter party credit ratings.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Consolidated Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.
The Consolidated Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Consolidated Group. Due to the nature of the Consolidated Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Consolidated Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the
68 | P a g e
PROMESA LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
Consolidated Group’s current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.
The financial liabilities of the Consolidated Group and the parent entity are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the Statement of financial position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.
Credit risk
There no material amounts of collateral held as security at balance date.
Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board. It arises through deposits with financial institutions.
The Board monitors credit risk by actively assessing the rating quality and liquidity of counter parties: only banks and financial institutions with an ‘A’ rating are utilised;
The Consolidated Group only invests in listed available-for-sale financial assets that have a minimum ‘A’ credit rating. Unlisted available-for-sale financial assets are not rated by external credit agencies. These are reviewed regularly by the Consolidated Group to ensure that credit exposure is minimised.
The credit risk for counterparties included in trade and other receivables at balance date is nil.
The Consolidated Group holds cash deposits with Australian banking financial institutions, namely the Westpac bank. Westpac has an AA rating with Standard & Poors.
Price risk
The Consolidated Group is not exposed to commodity price risk as it is still operating at the exploration level.
b. Financial Instruments
i. Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are not used by the Consolidated Group.
The Consolidated Group does not enter into swap contracts.
ii. Financial instrument composition and maturity analysis:
The table below reflects the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments of a fixed period of maturity. The Financial instruments are all classified as current.
As such, the amounts may not reconcile to the balance sheet.

iii. Net Fair Values
Fair values estimation
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are equal to their fair value.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Consolidated Group will be exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the Group’s measurement currency. The Board has assessed the movement by 10% and noted there is currently no material effect of foreign currency risk.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Members of Promesa Limited
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Promesa Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, 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 Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standards AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .
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. These Auditing 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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control 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 control. 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.
Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of Promesa Limited (Continued)
==> picture [73 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Independence
In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001 .
Opinion
In our opinion:
-
a. The financial report of Promesa Limited 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 and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ;
-
b. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a net loss of $1,157,013 during the year ended 30 June 2014. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in 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 .
