CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT

Dear Shareholder,

It is with great pleasure that I write to you and present the Zeus Resources Limited (“Zeus” or, “the Group”) Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2014.

Over the last 12 months there has been a general downturn of economic activity in relation to mining and resources generally and especially in the junior exploration sector in Australia.

The past 12 months have seen considerable consolidation in Zeus’ operations which has seen the Group focussed on three main activities:

  1. Conserving cash;

  2. Targeted exploration on the most prospective of Zeus’ assets; and

  3. Project acquisition.

Cash Conservation

The Group has taken a number of initiatives to minimise its cash-burn. Examples of these are: the non-appointment of a full-time CEO (Mr Zhao has continued in the role of interim CEO on a nominal salary); the rationalisation of tenement holdings and the consequential reduction of tenement expenditure; and a reduction in general office expenditure and overheads. Zeus has been and continues to be in a strong cash position with $6,604,789 as at 30 June 2014 and no debt. This equates to approximately $0.04 per share.

Targeted Exploration

Throughout the financial year ended 30 June 2014 the Group has conducted a comprehensive review of all of its tenements. Due to various geological and practical reasons the Group has decided to not pursue certain tenement application processes and to focus its exploration endeavours on others. This has had the effect of focussing the Group’s resources on areas with the most exploration potential.

Project Acquisition

Over the past 12 months the board of Zeus has examined numerous projects. Unfortunately, to date the Directors have not felt that any of the reviewed projects had sufficient upside to warrant acquisition. The Group is continuing to actively seek and review resource projects of the category whereby a capital injection to the relevant project can create a definitive mineable reserve or operating mine. Quality projects remain hard to find and the board is committed to acquiring the right project with the long term goal of creating shareholder value in mind.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS REPORT

Exploration Program

Desktop studies and comparative reviews of other Australian economic uranium mining operations have led the Group to prioritise palaeochannel sandstone-hosted uranium mineralisation (similar in style to the Beverley/Four-Mile and Honeymoon Uranium deposits) as its main exploration target. Surficial calcrete-hosted uranium mineralisation represents a secondary target within the Wiluna Project area.

Exploration efforts on Zeus' Projects are summarised below and have focussed primarily on field reconnaissance, surveying and sampling prior to finalising exploration planning, permitting & approvals (including aboriginal heritage surveys) to permit the commencement of exploration drilling on the Narnoo and Wiluna Projects.

The Department of Mines & Petroleum (DMP) has approved Zeus' proposed Program of Works and Radiation Management Plans (RMP's) for the Narnoo and Wiluna Projects with drilling scheduled to be conducted following completion of aboriginal heritage clearances at Wiluna.

1. Narnoo Project

Work on the Narnoo Project during the year focussed primarily on acquisition and processing of geophysical surveys and the finalising of exploration planning, permitting & approvals prior to commencing drilling.

Zeus commissioned an airborne electromagnetic (HeliTEM System) survey over the three Narnoo North tenements (E39/1683, E39/1687 & E39/1689) not covered by previous ground gravity surveying. HeliTEM surveying overlapped a portion of priority target areas previously identified on E39/1401 to provide independent confirmation of the gravity data and assist in its interpretation.

Compilation and review of relevant historical exploration data within the Narnoo region was ongoing throughout the year in order to assess the uranium potential of the Narnoo palaeochannel systems and refine Zeus' exploration targeting.

Historical data was integrated with Zeus' Ground Gravity and HeliTEM survey data, and regional geophysical data, and delineated a well-developed, structurally-controlled Tertiary palaeodrainage system buried beneath the dunes of the Great Victoria Desert (Figure 2).

Integrated gravity and electromagnetic survey data show prominent NNE-SSW trending structural highs flanked by major palaeochannels feeding into the extension of the Gunbarrel Basin upstream of the Mulga Rocks Uranium Deposits (MRD). Flat-lying conductive zones within these structurally-controlled palaeovalleys (Figure 3) are interpreted to represent prospective reduced, pyritic and carbonaceous sediments and represent Zeus' priority exploration target.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS REPORT

Detailed review of historical exploration data confirmed the presence of substantial thicknesses of Tertiary sediments within the major palaeochannels defined by Zeus' geophysical surveys. Sparse historical drilling within the Narnoo North and South regions indicates the widespread occurrence of prospective Tertiary lignites and reduced, pyritic and carbonaceous coarse- to pebbly- palaeochannel sandstones (frequently containing indications of anomalous radioactivity). Additional exploration potential exists for Cretaceous/Permian palaeochannel sandstones at depth along the southeastern margin of Narnoo North project area.

Target zones identified previously by geophysical surveying within the buried palaeochannel system will be targeted during the coming Quarter by first-stage drilling in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the geophysical survey methods prior to undertaking further drilling.

The Department of Mines & Petroleum (DMP) has approved Zeus' proposed Program of Works and Radiation Management Plans (RMP's) for Zeus' Narnoo Project with drilling contracts being finalised with the drilling contractor at the time of writing, prior to commencing exploration drilling.

2. Wiluna Project

Work on the Wiluna Project during the period focused primarily on processing and interpretation of previously acquired geophysical data, defining and validating exploration target zones and finalising exploration planning, permitting & approvals (including aboriginal heritage surveys) prior to commencing drilling.

Processed ground gravity survey results defined a substantial buried palaeochannel system within the Wiluna Project area that was shown to be associated with several uraniumchannel surface radiometric anomalies (Figure 4).

Field work comprising track reconnaissance, geological mapping, rock chip sampling and ground radiometric surveying was undertaken during the reporting period and indicated that surface radiometric anomalism within the palaeochannel system was associated with extensively developed linear valley-fill calcretes, similar in style to Toro Energy's Hinkler Well deposit.

Numerous existing roadside excavations indicated that well-developed calcrete is widespread throughout the Wiluna Project tenements where it is commonly buried by a thin veneer of aeolian sand that frequently masks any surface radiometric response. Opportunistic grab samples taken from these roadside excavations returned background uranium values of 6-50ppm U3O8 associated with carnotite mineralisation.

Ongoing review of available geological and historical exploration data was conducted throughout the year in order to investigate the uranium potential of the palaeochannel

systems, to validate the interpreted geophysical survey data, and to refine exploration targeting.

Review of historical water bore data supports Zeus' interpreted substantial buried palaeochannel system with historical drill logs indicating palaeochannel depths of 50->100m within the Wiluna tenement areas (e.g. Figure 4). Significantly historical water bore logs recording anomalous radioactivity and the presence of prospective redox boundaries associated with reduced, pyritic sandstones at depth within the palaeochannels.

Exploration work has defined several target zones within the Abercromby, Kukububba (Lake Way), Lake Gregory and Yeelirrie Palaeochannels that will be targeted by first-stage drilling of up to 25 aircore drill holes (for an estimated 1,500m) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the geophysical survey methods prior to undertaking further drilling.

Aboriginal heritage clearance of proposed drill sites have been re-scheduled at the time of writing of this report. The Department of Mines & Petroleum (DMP) has approved Zeus' proposed Program of Works and Radiation Management Plan (RMP) for Zeus' Wiluna Project with drilling on the Wiluna Project tenements to be undertaken following completion . of first-stage drilling at the Narnoo Project

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS REPORT

3. Gascoyne Project

Field mapping, ground radiometric surveying and geochemical sampling of the Red Rock (E52/2122) and Mortimer Hills (E09/1618) tenements was undertaken during the reporting period with 62 rock chip samples being submitted for assay. Results are summarised below:

a. Red Rock (E52/2122)

Exploration work on ground during the reporting period comprised ground radiometric surveying and geological mapping. Ground radiometric surveying indicated that the main exploration target, the Red Rock Granite, is considerably anomalous with surface counts generally in the 500-800cps range whilst more anomalous zones typically exceeded 1,000cps.

Sixteen rock samples were submitted for assay and returned Uranium values ranging from 2.7 to 19.5ppm U (average 7.5ppm U).

Field mapping also located a large pyritic quartz vein displaying a box-work fabric. Three samples were assayed for gold but no significant gold values were returned.

Geological mapping indicated the Red Rock Granite comprises a massive, relatively underformed granite batholith and is not prospective for shear-hosted uranium/gold mineralisation similar to that seen within the Despair Granite to the east of the tenement. However, the elevated uranium content of the Red Rock Granite makes it an excellent potential source rock.

Water bore cuttings located during previous field work indicated the development of substantial thicknesses (min. 75m) of palaeochannel sandstones within the tenement and Zeus therefore considers the tenement to be prospective for palaeochannel-sandstone hosted uranium mineralisation.

b. Mortimer Hills (E09/1618)

Work on ground comprised ground radiometric surveying and geological mapping with 32 rock samples being submitted for assay. Field mapping indicated the potential for the following mineralisation styles within the region:

i. Calcrete-hosted uranium mineralisation.

Field work indicated that calcrete development is widespread within the Mortimer Hills region where silicified palaeochannel calcrete deposits have been dissected and exposed by erosion to form prominent ridgelines. Younger calcretes are also present within sediments deposited in the modern alluvial valleys.

Calcrete regolith profiles are associated with widespread weak to moderate Uranium (carnotite) mineralisation. Ground radiometric surveying observed moderate radiometric anomalism (generally in the 400-800cps range) at several outcrops.

13

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS REPORT

Zeus considers the tenement to have moderate potential for development of calcrete-hosted Uranium mineralisation.

ii. Pegmatite hosted U/REE mineralisation.

Field mapping indicated that pegmatites are widespread within the southwestern part of the Mortimer Hills tenement. Pegmatite mineralogy typically comprises quartz- tourmalinefeldspar with minor muscovite with occurrences of beryl, aquamarine and poor quality emerald reported in open file data. Columbite-Tantalite mineralisation is also widely reported within pegmatites in the region.

Secondary uranium minerals were observed within a quartz-feldspar-muscovite pegmatite in association with a diffuse 3,500cps radiometric anomaly. Assay results from this location returned a value of 132ppm U3O8.

Zeus considers the tenement to have potential for pegmatite-hosted uranium, ColumbiteTantalite and potentially REE mineralisation.

iii. Granite-hosted uranium mineralisation

Field mapping located a low-lying outcrop of radiometrically anomalous coarsely crystalline pegmatitic granite within the central western part of the tenement. Five rock samples were submitted for assay with results presented in Table 2.

Ground radiometric surveying indicated the granite averaged 800-1300cps with common higher grade zones >3,000cps generally exhibiting visible yellow secondary uranium minerals. Maximum recorded counts were 8,700cps and were associated with visible yellow secondary Uranophane within weathered granite (Figure 5, Figure 6). Small-scale crosscutting ferruginous veins were associated with moderate anomalism (Table 2).

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS REPORT

iv. Base Metal Mineralisation.

Historical exploration data indicates the potential for base metal mineralisation at the unconformity at the base of the early Proterozoic Bangemall Group. Publically available WAMEX exploration data records a rock chip sample taken from an 'ironstone or gossan' developed at this unconformity located within the centre of the Mortimer Hills tenement. Whilst this outcrop could not be accessed due to heavy rain, field mapping located an occurrence of sub-cropping ironstone (gossan) development ~5km along strike to the northeast. Assay results from a single sample indicated low levels of Cu, Pb, & Zn and the occurrence(s) will be subject to further investigation in the future.

v. Skarn-hosted Tungsten mineralisation.

Field mapping investigated occurrences of patchy scheelite mineralisation within paragneiss developed within a narrow zone of contact metamorphism on the margins of a small outcrop of Davey Well Granite located on the western margins of the tenement. Similar occurrences occur in the southeast of the Mortimer Hills tenement but could not be accessed due to flooding.

Mapping defined an irregular 50-300m wide zone of sub-cropping skarn development on the margins of the granite. Whilst assay results from 4 samples did not return any significant results, the extensive outcrop of the Davey Well Granite is considered to have exploration potential for follow up.

4. North Musgrave Project

The North Musgrave project is located in a very remote setting that represents one of Australia's last exploration frontiers. Work on the North Musgrave project to date has comprised an evaluation of all available water bore and geochemical data in the vicinity of the Project area. Results from this review indicate that the structural setting fulfils the broad requirements to host a Four-Mile style uranium deposit with abundant prospective structurally-controlled targets potentially containing Tertiary palaeochannel sandstones.

The North Musgrave tenement is located on the margins of the Warburton Aboriginal Reserve with primary access routes requiring travel through areas of cultural significance within the Reserve. During the period Zeus conducted an initial reconnaissance of these access routes and held an on ground meeting with the local traditional owners in order to facilitate access to the tenement.

Zeus is continuing to negotiate aboriginal heritage and access agreements with the local traditional owners prior to commencing work on ground. Further reconnaissance field work and ground geophysical surveying is planned for the near future in order to define targets for exploration drilling in the coming tenement year.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS REPORT

5. Percival Lakes Project

The Percival Lakes project comprised six tenement applications held by Zeus Resources' wholly owned subsidiary Kalium Corporation.

A comprehensive geological review conducted during the reporting period determined that whilst the Percival Lakes palaeochannel was well-developed and likely to contain prospective reduced sediments, its prospectivity was downgraded by the lack of a suitable potential uranium source.

Due to the terrain, lack of infrastructure and access roads within the Great Sandy Desert, access and logistical considerations were considered likely to add considerably to exploration costs.

Discussions with representatives of the relevant land councils regarding reaching a land access agreement prior to the granting of the tenement applications were ongoing during the reporting period and led to requests by the stakeholders for very substantial payments to in order facilitate initial access on ground. These payments alone exceeded the budgeted exploration expenditure for the project area.

After consideration of likely access difficulties, high exploration costs, and extremely high land access costs, Zeus has elected to liquidate Kalium Corporation and relinquish its interest in the Percival Lakes Project. No further work will be conducted on the project.

Relationship
between
mineralisation
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 (e.g.
‘down hole length, true width not
_known’). _


Uranium mineralisation reported has
been derived from rock chip samples
representing point samples.

No mineralisation widths or intercept
lengths have been reported.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan
view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.



N/A.
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.



As comprehensive reporting of all
exploration results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and
high grades have been conducted.
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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Your Directors present their report together with the financial statements of the Group, being the company and its controlled entities, for the financial year ended 30[th] June 2014.

Review of operations

The Group continued to formulate its funding and development options through a strategic review. Through this review process, the Group will be focusing on geological exploration and project acquisitions. The main targets will be uranium and other metals. As the market is in a current downturn, the Group’s objective is to take advantage of this economic downturn and actively pursue project acquisitions. The Group currently has under review data and information from several possible project acquisitions.

The last financial year ended 30[th] June 2014 was an important year for Zeus Resources. We undertook exploration work on 17 tenements in varying degrees and prioritised our plan of works according to the potentiality of the tenements. We also looked for acquisition projects very energetically, more than 10 projects were reviewed and analysed. The “Review of Operations Report” section of this annual report contains detailed information about tenement status and the exploration programs undertaken during the year.

We also managed to reduce costs in a number of areas and stabilised cash outflows in order to maintain the Group’s liquidity. We reviewed a number of policy areas and confirmed the Group’s mission statement and culture.

Results of Operations

For the year ended 30th June 2014 the Group recorded a loss of $1,285,421 (2013: Loss $5,820,265).

Total exploration expenditure for the year was $604,471 (2013: $795,796) of which $450,061 was capitalised to exploration assets (2013: $783,721).

Significant changes in state of affairs

  1. A number of changes in the board and management occurred during the reporting period. Mr Peter Williamson was terminated as CEO of the Group and Mr Jiangang Zhao was appointed and remains acting CEO. Dr Mike Etheridge resigned as a director and was not replaced. The board approved that Mr Chuanxi Ding be paid director’s fees of $80,000 per annum and Mr Jiangang Zhao and Mr Yong Zhang be paid $50,000 per annum. Payments of fees commenced from 1[st] December 2013. Mr Yong Zhang also received board approval for consultancy fees to be paid to Ace Win Group Ltd (Hong Kong) to an amount of $120,000 payable over 15 months for advisory services provided to the Group for providing project information and assistance with identifying investment opportunities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

In September 2013 The Group also entered into a sublease arrangement with Heng Ji Investments Australia Pty Limited for the office premises in Sydney. The lease commitment will expire 11[th] September 2017 and equates to a significant financial commitment by the Group of $1,061,500.

Liquidation of Kalium: The potential Percival Lake tenements, (joint venture partners were at application stage only), have a remote location and very limited access conditions. Regional exploration work remains at very early stage in the area giving us limited knowledge of target mineralisation levels. To continue exploration in the Percival Lakes area would have meant incurring very high exploration costs with unknown potential. The contractual arrangements were considered unfavourable to the Group and required considerable on-going financial commitment. Taking into account logistical and financial reasons, the board decided that the pursuit of the applications and subsequent tenement licencing would not provide any future benefits. The board of Zeus Resources decided not to provide on-going financial support to the company and consequently Kalium Corporation has been placed in liquidation (creditors’ voluntary winding up).

The board determined the development strategy and mission statement of Zeus Resources: being to develop Zeus as an integral exploration and mining and resources-based enterprise what will have significant impact in Australia. The main target minerals will be copper, gold, nickel, tin and other metal resources as well as uranium. The Group will promote an open, honest, robust and efficient culture.

Principal activities

The principal activity of the Group during the year was the exploration for uranium and other metal resources and the assessment of options for investment in multi-commodity mining assets.

No change in the principal activity occurred during this period.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The consolidated entity intends to continue its exploration activities on its existing projects and to acquire further suitable projects for exploration as opportunities arise.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of the Group and for the key Group executives receiving the highest remuneration.

Remuneration Policy

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Group is as follows:

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed and approved by the board. All executives receive remuneration based on factors such as length of service and experience.

The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. The objective of this policy is to secure and retain the services of suitable individuals capable of contributing to the consolidated entity’s strategic objectives.

The remuneration framework the board established has three components:

  • Base pay and benefits, including superannuation,

  • Short-term performance incentives and bonuses,

  • Long-term incentives through issuances of share options.

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the board, based on individual and business unit performance, the

30

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional value to the executive.

The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the targets of those executives responsible for meeting those targets. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators ('KPI's') being achieved. KPI's include profit contribution, customer satisfaction, leadership contribution and product management.

The long-term incentives ('LTI') include long service leave and share-based payments. Shares are awarded to executives over a period of three years based on long-term incentive measures. These include increase in shareholders value relative to the entire market and the increase compared to the consolidated entity's direct competitors.

At issue date of this report there are no current executives or senior staff receiving benefits other than base pay and superannuation.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

At the AGM held on 30[th] November 2013 the following remuneration was approved:

Mr Chuanxi Ding – Chairperson $80,000 per annum Mr Jiangang Zhao - Non-Executive Director $50,000 per annum Mr Yong Zhang – Non-Executive Director $50,000 per annum

The director’s fee paid to Mr Greg Hall was previously approved by the Board and remained at $50,000 per annum.

Voting and comments made at the company's 2013 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')

At the 2013 AGM, adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2013 was approved by poll. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [50 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Zeus Resources Ltd and its subsidiaries companies all domiciled in Australia.

The financial statements have been approved by the board on the date of signing.

The principal activity of the Group during the year was the exploration for uranium and other base metals.

A. Basis of accounting

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Accounting Standards board.

  • (i) Compliance with IFRS:

The consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB),

  • (ii) Historical Cost Convention:

These financial reports are prepared under the historical cost convention.

  • (iii) Critical Accounting Estimates:

The presentation of financial statements requires the use certain critical accounting estimates. The Group also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving a high degree or judgement or complexity or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements is disclosed later. See part I.

Changes in Accounting Policies

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current year. The adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group.

Any new, revised or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

The following Accounting Standards or Interpretations are most relevant to the group:

AASB 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements AASB 13 – Fair Value Measurement AASB 119 – Employee Benefits AASB 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

42

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

==> picture [50 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AASB10 - Consolidated Financial Statements

AASB 10 supersedes AASB 127 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” and Interpretation 112 “Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities”. AASB 10 revises the definition of control and provides new guidance on its application.

Under the new principles, the group controls an entity where the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power.

Management has reviewed its control assessments in accordance with AASB 10 and has concluded that there is no effect on any of the Group’s investments held during the current or comparative periods covered by these financial statements.

AASB 13 – Fair Value Measurement

AASB 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single standard a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard requires inputs to all fair value measurements to be categorised in accordance with a fair value hierarchy and enhanced disclosures regarding all assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

The implementation of this standard did not impact the groups accounting policies or the measurement of any amounts recognised on the financial statements. The standard did however introduce additional disclosure requirements.

AASB 119 – Employee Benefits

AASB 119 Employee Benefits includes changes to require only those benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service to be classified as short-term employee benefits. This has resulted in changes to the accounting policy applied to the group’s annual leave obligation as the group does not expect all annual leave to be taken within twelve months of the respective service being provided.

The implementation of this standard did not significantly impact the Consolidated Entity’s financial statements.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 12 from 1 July 2013. The standard contains the entire disclosure requirement associated with other entities, being subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements (joint operations and joint ventures) and unconsolidated structured entities. The disclosure requirements have been significantly enhanced when compared to the disclosures previously located in AASB 127 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements', AASB 128 'Investments in Associates', AASB 131 'Interests in Joint Ventures' and Interpretation 112 'Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities'.

The implementation of this standard did not significantly impact the Consolidated Entity’s financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

B. Management Plan

The Group has incurred an accumulated net loss after tax of $1,285,422 to the year ended 30 June 2014. Net cash used in operating activities during the year was $1,270,754. The directors have prepared cash flow projections to September 2014 that support the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. The Group had $6,179,564 as at 24[th] September 2014, therefore the continued operation of the Group beyond that period is not inherently dependent upon raising further capital or acquire debt instruments to fund its current exploration programme for the next 18 months.

C. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Zeus Resources Ltd as at 30[th] June 2014 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.

In this report the parent entity is Zeus Resources Ltd and the subsidiaries are referred to as a Group or consolidated entity. The statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries as at 30 June 2014.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity 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. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Refer to the ‘business combinations’ accounting policy for further details. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any

44

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [50 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

D. Income tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the 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 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 statement of statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

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 and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

E. Financial instruments

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Payables

Payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are generally settled between 7 days and 30 days terms.

F. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the 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.

45

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [50 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

G. Exploration and evaluation expenditure policy

Exploration and evaluation expenditure comprises costs that are directly attributable to:

  • researching and analysing existing exploration data;

  • conducting geological studies, exploratory drilling and sampling;

  • the construction of access roads where necessary for exploration drilling;

  • examining and testing extraction and treatment methods; and

  • compiling pre-feasibility and feasibility studies.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure also includes the costs incurred in acquiring mineral rights, the entry premiums paid to gain access to areas of interest and amounts payable to third parties to acquire interests in existing projects.

Capitalisation of exploration expenditure commences when there is a reasonable level of confidence in the project’s viability and hence it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group. Capitalised exploration expenditure is reviewed for impairment at the end of the reporting period. Subsequent recovery of the resulting carrying value depends on successful development of the area of interest or sale of the project. If a project does not prove viable, all unrecoverable costs associated with the project and the related impairment provisions are written off.

Undeveloped properties are mineral concessions where the intention is to develop and go into production in due course. The carrying values of assets are reviewed annually by management and the results of these reviews are reported to the Board and is assessed based on a status report regarding Zeus Resources intentions for development of the undeveloped property. Reviews are performed using the fair value less cost to sell method.

H. Share based payments policy

Equity settled share plans are settled either by the issue of shares by the relevant parent company, by the purchase of shares on market or by the use of shares previously acquired as part of a share buyback. The fair value of the share plans is recognised as an expense over the expected vesting period with a corresponding entry to other reserves. If the cost of shares acquired to satisfy the plans exceeds the expense charged, the excess is taken to the appropriate reserve. The fair value of the share plans is determined at the date of grant, taking into account any market based vesting conditions attached to the award. The estimate of the number of awards likely to vest is reviewed at end of the reporting period up to the vesting date, at which point the estimate is adjusted to reflect the actual awards issued. No adjustment is made after the vesting date even if the awards are forfeited or not exercised.

I. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events,

46

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

==> picture [50 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity 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 using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the consolidated entity will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.

J. Revenue Recognition

(i) Interest earned

Income from interest earned on investments is recognised on a time proportion using the effective interest rate method.

(ii) Net gains on disposal of assets, which is recognised as at the date the control of the asset passes to the entity

K. Foreign currency transactions and balances

Items included in the financial statements are measured using Australian Dollars (functional currency of Zeus Resources Ltd). Consolidated financial statements of the entity are presented

47

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

==> picture [50 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

in the functional currency of Zeus Resources Ltd as the parent entity. Foreign currency transactions have been translated in the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 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 the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except where they are deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

L. Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in the equity division of the statement of financial position as a deduction net of any tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration and are expensed as incurred.

M. Property, plant and equipment

(i) Acquisition

Items of property, plant and equipment are recorded at historical cost and, are depreciated as outlined below. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred.

(ii) Depreciation and amortisation

The following indicates the depreciation method for plant and equipment on which the depreciation charges are based:

  • straight-line basis over their useful operating life

  • Office equipment: computers – three years

  • Office equipment: general – five years

  • Plant and equipment – five years

  • Furniture & fittings – ten years

(iii) Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Lease improvements are amortised over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the asset.

48

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [50 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

N. Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

O. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the 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 uses, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and other intangible assets not yet available for use. 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.

P. Employee Benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, when it arises, will be recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees.

Q. Business Combinations (including goodwill)

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business

49

==> picture [50 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured in each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations are recognised as expenses in profit or loss when incurred.

The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

Goodwill

Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:

the consideration transferred; any non-controlling interest; and

the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest; over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. Fair value measurements in any pre-existing equity holdings are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the group holds less than a 100% interest will depend on the method adopted in measuring the noncontrolling interest. The group can elect in most circumstances to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill method) or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets (proportionate interest method). In such circumstances, the group determines which method to adopt for each acquisition and this is stated in the respective notes to these financial statements disclosing the business combination.

Under the full goodwill method, the fair value of the non-controlling interests is determined using valuation techniques which make the maximum use of market information where available. Under this method, goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interests is recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

50

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

==> picture [50 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units, representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored being not larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed of.

R. Accounting Standards and Interpretations early adoption

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2014. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.

New Accounting Standards for application in future periods

The AASB has issued new and amended accounting standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods and which the Group has decided not to early adopt. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the Group is as follows:

AASB 9: Financial Instruments, AASB 2010-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127], AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures [AASB 9, AASB 2009-11, AASB 2010-7, AASB 2011-7 & AASB 2011-8], AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments [Part C] and AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [Part E] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018)

AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and the accounting requirements for financial liabilities.

The changes made to accounting requirements by these standards include:

simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value

simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives

allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument

financial assets will need to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity’s business model as they are initially classified based on (a) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows

amending the rules for financial liabilities that the entity elects to measure at fair value, requiring changes in fair value attributed to the entity’s won credit risk to be presented in other comprehensive income

adding Chapter 6 Hedge Accounting which supersedes the general hedge accounting

51

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

==> picture [50 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

requirements as they exist in AASB 139 and the addition of new disclosure requirements. The Chapter 6 requirements include a new approach to hedge accounting, intended to more closely align hedge accounting with risk management activities.

Further, in July 2014 the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 9 as a complete standard including the previously issued requirements (as per the above) and additional amendments to introduce a new expected loss impairment model and limited changes to the classification and measurement requirements for financial assets.

The company has not yet assessed the impact of this standard.

AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities [AASB 132] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014)

This standard adds application guidance to AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation to address inconsistencies identified in applying some of the offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement. The adoption of this amendment will have no impact on the consolidated entity.

AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting and AASB 2013-1 Amendments to AASB 1049 – Relocation of Budgetary Reporting Requirements (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2014)

AASB 2013-1 removes the requirements relating to the disclosure of budgetary information from AASB 1049 (without substantive amendment). All budgetary reporting requirements applicable to public sector entities are now located in a single, topic-based, Standard AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting. These standards are not expected to impact the company. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will have no impact on the consolidated entity.

AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014)

This Standard amends the disclosure requirements in AASB 136. The amendments include the requirement to disclose additional information about the fair value measurement when the recoverable amount of impaired assets is based on fair value less costs of disposal. In addition, a further requirement has been included to disclose the discount rates that have been used in the current and previous measurements if the recoverable amount of impaired assets based on fair value less costs of disposal was measured using a present value technique. The standard is not expected to impact the Group.

AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments [Part B] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014) and AASB 2014 -1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [Part C] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2014)

The changes made to AASB 1031 in respect of materiality withdraw the substantive content contained within the standard and provide signpost references to materiality in other Australian Accounting Standards. These amendments are not expected to impact the Group.

AASB 2014 -1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [Part A] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2014)

Part A of this Standard makes various amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the issuance by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle, including:

AASB 1 – clarification in the basis of conclusion.

AASB 2 – amendments to certain definitions contained within the standard.

AASB 3 – clarification that contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date and clarification that AASB 3 excludes from its scope the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

AASB 8 – amendments to disclosures.

AASB 13 – clarification regarding the measurement of short-term receivables and payables and clarification that the scope of the portfolio exception in paragraph 52 of AASB 13 includes all contracts accounted for within the scope of AASB 139 or AASB 9, regardless of whether they meet the definition of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in AASB132.

AASB 116 and AASB 138 – clarification that when an item of property, plant and equipment or intangible asset is revalued the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount.

AASB 124 – clarification that an entity providing key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity is a related party of the reporting entity. AASB 140 – clarification that determining whether a specific transaction meets the definition of both a business combination as defined in AASB 3 Business Combinations and investment property as defined in AASB140 Investment Property requires the separate application of both standards independently of each other.

These amendments will have no impact on the consolidated entity.

AASB 2014 -1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [Part B] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2014)

Part B of this Standard makes amendments to AASB 119 Employee Benefits in relation to the requirements for contributions from employees or third parties that are linked to service. The amendments clarify that if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, an entity is permitted to recognise such contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered, instead of attributing the contributions to the periods of service. In contrast, if the amount of the contributions is dependent on the number of years of service, an entity is required to attribute those contributions to periods of service using the same attribution method applied to the gross benefit. These amendments will have no impact on the consolidated entity

AASB 2014-2 Amendments to AASB 1053 – Transition to and between Tiers, and related Tier 2 Disclosure Requirements (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2014)

This standard amends AASB 1053 to:

clarify that AASB 1053 relates only to general purpose financial statements;

make AASB 1053 consistent with the availability of the AASB 108 option in AASB 1 First-

53

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards;

clarify certain circumstances in which an entity applying Tier 2 reporting requirements can apply the AASB 108 option in AASB 1;

permit an entity applying Tier 2 reporting requirements for the first time to do so directly using the requirements in AASB 108 (rather that applying AASB 1) when, and only when, the entity had not applied, or only selectively applied, applicable recognition and measurement requirements in its most recent previous annual special purpose financial statements; and specify certain disclosure requirements when an entity resumes the application of Tier 2 reporting requirements.

This standard is not expected to impact the Group.

AASB 2014-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2016)

This standard amends AASB 11 to provide guidance on the accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations in which the activity constitutes a business. The amendments require the acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business to apply all of the principles in AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in AASB 11 in accounting for the acquisition. AASB 2014-3 also requires disclosure of the information required by AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards for business combinations.

This standard is not expected to impact the Group.

AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2016)

This standard amends AASB 116 and AASB 138 to establish the principle for the basis of depreciation and amortisation as being the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits of an asset and to clarify that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate. The standard also clarifies that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. This presumption, however, can be rebutted in certain limited circumstances.

This standard is not expected to impact the Group.

Interpretation 21 Levies (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014)

This Interpretation clarifies the circumstances under which a liability to pay a levy imposed by a government should be recognised, and whether that liability should be recognise in full at a specific date or progressively over a period of time. This interpretation is not expected to impact the Group.

The value of the Group interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:

  • the continuance of the 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 by their sale.

The Group’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under Native Title (or jurisdictional equivalent), or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to the indigenous people of Australia.

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

The list of tenements in which the Group has an interest is disclosed on page 70.

a) Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with debtors as the Group has not issued any sales for services or products during the period ending 30[th] June 2014, hence the Group does not insure any outstanding debts.

Credit risk does arise with the Groups’ cash holdings. The Group has not taken steps to reduce risk of significant exposure to its cash holdings as the Group currently has all of its funds placed with one financial institution. The institution does however meet stringent banking regulations and the risk to the funds placed therein is minimal.

The Group places surplus cash with the bank in term deposit of up 90 days. This rate can vary from rollover period to rollover period. Exposure to variances in interest rates is not controlled by the Group and returns are subject to current interest rates on offer by the banks at the time of rollover of the term deposit(s).

(c) Liquidity risk

The Group’s main objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern with the ultimate goal of providing returns for shareholders.

Future expansion or cash requirements to fund operations will be funded by future capital raisings.

The limit of risk for the period ending 30[th] June 2014 extended to Trade and other payables amounting to $322,422 which was due to be paid within the next 90 days at a maximum. The Group has sufficient funds to meet this requirement.

The role and responsibilities of the Board of Directors is for the overall Corporate Governance of the Company and oversight of management, protecting the rights and interests of the shareholders, by adopting systems of control and managed risk as the basis for the administration.

The Board is committed to maintaining high standards of Corporate Governance. Corporate Governance is about having a set of core values and behaviours that underpin the Company's activities and ensure transparency, fair dealing and protection of the interests of stakeholders.

The Board of Directors support the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations developed by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (Council). Whilst the Company's practices are partly consistent with the Council's guidelines, the Board considers that the implementation of some recommendations are not appropriate having regard to the nature and scale of the Company's activities and size of the Board. The Board uses its best endeavours to ensure exceptions to the Council's guidelines do not have a negative impact on the Company and the best interests of shareholders as a whole. When Zeus is not able to implement one of the Council’s recommendations the Company applies the “if not, why not” explanation approach by applying practices in accordance with the spirit of the relevant principle.

The following discussion outlines the ASX Corporate Governance Council's eight principles and associated recommendations and the extent to which the Company complies with those recommendations.

Details of all of the Council's recommendations can be found on the ASX website at http://www.asx.com.au

CORPORATED GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The Company has adopted Recommendation 1.1 to disclose the functions reserved to the Board and those delegated to senior executives. This has been disclosed on the Company’s website.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS – ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

In general, the Board is responsible for, and has the authority to determine, all matters relating to the policies, practices, management and operations of the Company. The Board is also responsible for the overall corporate governance and management oversight of the Company, and recognises the need for the highest standards of behaviour and accountability in acting in the best interests of the Company as a whole.

The Board also ensures that the Company complies with all of its contractual, statutory and any other legal or regulatory obligations. The Board has the final responsibility for the successful operations of the Company.

Where the Board considers that particular expertise or information is required, which is not available from within their members, appropriate external advice may be taken and reviewed prior to a final decision being made by the Board.

Without intending to limit the general role of the Board, the principal functions and responsibilities of the Board include the following:

  • formulation and approval of the strategic direction, objectives and goals of the Company;

  • the prudential control of the Company's finances and operations and the monitoring of the financial performance of the Company;

  • the resourcing, reviewing and monitoring of executive management;

  • ensuring that adequate internal control systems and procedures exist and that compliance with these systems and procedures is maintained;

  • the identification of significant business risks and ensuring that such risks are adequately managed;

  • the timeliness, accuracy and effectiveness of communications and reporting to shareholders and the market; and

  • the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.

ACCOUNTABILITY

The Company has complied with Recommendation 1.2 by undertaking background checks with regard to each director’s character, experience and education prior to their nomination for election. Any material adverse information revealed by these checks is released to securityholders prior to the General Meeting at which they are able to be elected. When an individual is nominated to be a director, their curriculum vitae and their relevant professional history and qualifications is circulated to the securityholders of the Company.

77

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

==> picture [48 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

CORPORATED GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Company has complied with Recommendation 1.3 by giving its Directors letters of appointment and/or service agreements.

The Company has complied with Recommendation 1.4 by making the Company Secretary directly accountable to the Board on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board.

DIVERSITY

The Company does not comply with Recommendation 1.5. The Company has not found it necessary to establish a diversity policy or annually report on measurable objectives with respect to achieving gender diversity. The nature of the policy for a Company of this size is inappropriate. As the Company develops, the Board intends to review its practices, and if deemed necessary in the future, the Board may consider adopting a policy.

PERFORMANCE OF THE BOARD

The Company does not comply with recommendation 1.6. The Company has not found it necessary to disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the Board and the Company’s Directors individually.

However, it is the policy of the Board to ensure that the Directors of the Company are equipped with the knowledge and information they need to discharge their responsibilities effectively, and that individual and collective performance is regularly and fairly reviewed. Although the Company is not of a size to warrant the development of formal processes for evaluating the performance of its Board, individual Directors and committees, there is on-going monitoring by the Chairman and the members of the Board.

The Chairman also speaks to Directors individually regarding their role as a Director.

PERFORMANCE OF SENIOR EXECUTIVES

The Chief Executive Officer’s key performance indicators are set annually, with performance appraised by the Board, and reviewed in detail by the Board at the annual anniversary of the appointment of the CEO.

The Company has adopted Recommendation 1.7 of evaluating the performance of senior executives in accordance with the process described above with the appointment of the CEO.

The Board did not conduct a performance evaluation for the Chief Executive Officer in the financial year. The current Chief Executive Officer is an Acting Chief Executive Officer.

CORPORATED GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value

BOARD OF DIRECTORS - COMPOSITION, STRUCTURE AND PROCESS

The Board has been formed so that it has effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties given the Company’s current size, scale and nature of its activities.

BOARD NOMINATIONS

The Board has not established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter. The Board has not implemented a Remuneration and Nomination Committee due to the Company’s small size and nature. The Board does consider nominations for the appointment or election of Directors that may arise from time to time having regard to the corporate and governance skills required by the Company and procedures outlined in the Constitution and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

During the financial year the Board implemented the functions listed below. Whilst the Company has not adopted Recommendation 2.4, the Board is effectively managing the functions normally expected of such a committee.

The responsibilities assumed by the Board include:

  • Board and senior executive functions;

  • Board composition;

  • criteria for nomination of Directors;

  • selection and appointment of the Chairperson;

  • selection and appointment of the Secretary;

  • determine the frequency of meetings of the Committee;

  • seek professional advice when required;

  • responsibilities of the Committee; and

  • overseeing of Board and executive succession plans.

INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

Due to the small size of the Company, the Board is made up of four Directors. The Company has not adopted Recommendation 2.2, which states that a board skills matrix should be disclosed, nor has it adopted Recommendation 2.3, which states that the majority of the directors should be independent. Because of the small size and nature of the Company, the Company has appointed 1 independent Director on the Board. It is the Board’s opinion that all Directors bring to the Board their independent judgement, irrespective of whether they are independent or not.

REGULAR ASSESSMENT OF INDEPENDENCE

An Independent Director, in the view of the Company, is a Non-executive Director who:

79

  • The composition of the Board is reviewed periodically with regards to the optimum number and skills of Directors required for the Board to properly perform its responsibilities and functions.

CHAIRPERSON AND MANAGING DIRECTOR

The Company does not follow Recommendation 2.5. The office of Chair is held by Mr Chuanxi Ding, a nominee of ZIMC, the largest shareholder of Zeus.

The Chairperson leads the Board and has responsibility for ensuring the Board receives accurate, timely and clear information to enable Directors to perform their duties as a Board.

The CEO is responsible and accountable to the Board for the Company's management. Mr Jiangang Zhao is currently Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr Zhao was appointed as Acting CEO of the Company following the departure of Mr Peter Williamson in November 2013.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND EVALUATION

The Company does not follow Recommendation 2.5 by disclosing the process for evaluating the performance of the Board, and disclosure requirements under Principle 2.

It is the policy of the Board to ensure that the Directors and executives of the Company are equipped with the knowledge and information they need to discharge their responsibilities effectively, and that individual and collective performance is regularly and fairly reviewed. Although the Company is not of a size to warrant the development of formal processes for evaluating the performance of its Board, individual Directors and executives, there is on-going monitoring by the Chairperson and the members of the Board.

The Chairperson also speaks to Directors individually regarding their role as a Director.

82

CORPORATED GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

SHARE DEALINGS AND DISCLOSURES

The Company has adopted a Securities Trading Policy. The Board restricts Directors, executives and employees from acting on material information until it has been released to the market. Executives, employees and Directors are required to consult the Chairperson and the Board respectively, prior to dealing in securities in the Company or other companies in which the Company has a relationship.

Share trading by Directors, executives or employees is not permitted at any time whilst in the possession of price sensitive information not already available to the market. In addition, the Corporations Act prohibits the purchase or sale of securities whilst a person is in possession of inside information.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

  • To ensure that Directors are at all times acting in the best interests of the Company, Directors must:

  • disclose to the Board actual or potential conflicts of interest that may or might reasonably be thought to exist between the interests of the Director and the interests of any other parties in carrying out the activities of the Company; and

  • if requested by the Board, within seven days or such further period as may be permitted, take such necessary and reasonable steps to remove any conflict of interest.

If a Director cannot, or is unwilling to remove a conflict of interest then the Director must, as required by the Corporations Act, absent himself or herself from the room when Board discussion and/or voting occurs on matters about which the conflict relates.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related party transactions include any financial transaction between a Director and the Company as defined in the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules. Unless there is an exemption under the Corporations Act from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for the related party transaction, the Board cannot approve the transaction. The Company also discloses related party transactions in its financial statements as required under relevant Accounting Standards.

Principle 4 – Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Company has not established an Audit Committee with a corresponding charter. The Audit compliance is managed by the full board of Zeus Resources. The objective of the Board is to make recommendations and implement, among various matters, the adequacy of the external audit and compliance procedures. The Board evaluates from time to time the effectiveness of the financial statements prepared for the Board meetings and to insure that an independent judgement is always exercised.

83

CORPORATED GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

CEO AND CFO DECLARATIONS

The Company has adopted and complied with recommendation 4.2.

Due to the size of the management team, the Board has determined that the Chairperson and the Accountant are the appropriate persons to make the CEO and CFO declarations in respect of the year ended 30 June 2014, as required under section 295A of the Corporations Act and recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. The Board is also satisfied that the internal control system is operating effectively in all material respects.

AUDITOR PRESENT AT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

A representative of the Company’s external auditor will be present at the Company’s AGM and will be available to answer questions from securityholders relevant to the audit.

Principle 5 – Make timely and balanced disclosure

The Company has not adopted Recommendation 5.1 by putting in place a continuous Disclosure Policy because of the size and nature of the Company.

CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE TO THE ASX

The Board has designated the Company Secretary as the person responsible for overseeing and coordinating disclosure of information to the ASX as well as communicating with the ASX. Accordingly the Company will notify the ASX promptly of information:

  • concerning the Company, that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's securities;

  • that would, or would be likely to, influence persons who commonly invest in securities in deciding whether to acquire or dispose of the Company's securities; and

  • the announcements are made in a timely manner, are factual and do not omit material information in order to avoid the emergence of a false market in Zeus securities.

Principle 6 – Respect the rights of shareholders

The Company actively promotes communication with shareholders through a variety of measures, including the use of the Company's website. The Company's reports and ASX announcements are made available on the Company’s website www.zeusresources.com and on the ASX website www.asx.com.au, under ASX code 'ZEU'.

84

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

CORPORATED GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

COMMUNICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Company does not comply with Recommendation 6.2 and 6.3 due to the size and nature of the Company.

However, the Board recognises its duty to ensure that its shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the Company's state of affairs. The Company will provide that information will be communicated to shareholders and the market through:

  • the Annual Report which is distributed to shareholders (usually with the Notice of Annual General Meeting);

  • the Annual General Meeting and other general meetings called to obtain shareholder approvals as appropriate;

  • the half-yearly Directors' and financial statements;

  • quarterly activities and cash flow reports;

  • other announcements released to the ASX as required under the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing; and

  • Rules and other information that may be mailed to shareholders or made available through the Company’s website.

The company has complied with Recommendation 6.4 by encouraging Shareholders to register for receipt of announcements and updates electronically.

Principle 7 - Recognise and manage risk

RISK COMMITTEE

The Company has not established a Risk Committee with a corresponding charter.

The Board is responsible for the identification, monitoring and management of significant business risks and the implementation of appropriate levels of internal control, recognising however that no cost effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. The Board regularly reviews and monitors areas of significant business risk.

Due to the size of the Company, Recommendation 7.2 is not relevant for Zeus because the Board has the oversight function of risk management and internal control systems. Therefore, the risk management functions and oversight of material business risks are performed directly by the Board and not by management.

85

Zeus Resources Limited - Consolidated Entity

==> picture [48 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

CORPORATED GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The primary vehicle for managing corporate risks is regular oversight by the Board. The Board reviews systems of external and internal controls and areas of significant operational, financial and property risk and ensures arrangements are in place to contain such risks to acceptable levels.

The Company has recently put in place a system that appropriate insurance policies are kept current to cover all potential risks and maintaining Directors' and Officers' professional indemnity insurance.

INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION

The internal audit function is carried out by the Board. The Company does not have an internal audit department nor has an internal auditor. The size of Zeus does not warrant the cost of appointing an internal auditor.

ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABILITY RISKS

All material risks are announced to the market in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and otherwise.

Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly

The Board of Zeus has not established a remuneration Committee in accordance with Recommendation 8.1. The Board is directed by the Chairperson who operates as the Committee, due to the size and nature of the Company.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee held no formal committee meetings during the financial year ending 30 June 2014. However, the Board communicated regularly to address any issues that arose during the financial year.

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE CHARTER AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Company has established a Salary and Performance Policy along with a Recruitment Policy which operates in a similar fashion to a Remuneration and Nomination Committee charter. The role and responsibility of the Board is to review and make recommendations in respect of:

  • executive remuneration policy;

  • Executive Director and senior management remuneration;

  • Non-executive Directors' Remuneration;

  • performance measurement policies and procedures;

  • Administration of the Company’s Diversity policy;

  • Board evaluation and performance of Directors; and

  • Issue and allotment of options to Directors and Senior Executives.

CORPORATED GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

COMPOSITION OF THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

The Company does not fully comply with Recommendation 8.2 because of the current size of the Company. The committee has two members only.
