CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT
Dear Shareholder,
It is with great pleasure that I write to you and present the Zeus Resources Ltd (Zeus or the Company) Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2015.
Over the last 12 months, the continuous downturn of markets, especially in mining and resources industry, has created great pressure on junior exploration companies like Zeus. Consequently, in addition to tenement exploration the Company has focused on project acquisition and cost saving initiatives.
Tenements Exploration
Throughout the financial year ended 30 June 2015 the Company has conducted a comprehensive review of all of its tenements. Air-core drilling was carried out in Wiluna and Narnoo in order to assess the geological setting and exploration potential of each project. The drilling results provided justification for the relinquishment and reduction of tenements to allow the Company to focus on key targets.
A total of 27 air core drill holes for a total of 1,685m were completed at Wiluna during December 2014. Almost all drill holes intersected variably developed Tertiary palaeochannel sediments containing two regionally widespread target sand horizons with potential for uranium mineralisation.
22 air core drill holes for a total of 1,801m were completed on the Narnoo North and South tenements during May-June 2015. 85 samples were submitted for geochemical assay. Anomalous uranium was intersected in several drill holes in Narnoo South targeting a narrow Tertiary palaeochannel. Drilling intersected a broad zone of lignite‐hosted uranium mineralisation. Assay results returned a best intercept of (best result 3m@ 218ppm U3O8) and i ndicated the potential for further lignite-hosted uranium mineralisation.
Field work on Zeus’s Gascoyne Project defined several Iron-Oxide hosted Uranium targets (with a maximum grade of 587.6ppm U3O8) and located zones of subcropping base-metal mineralisation on the margins of Zeus’ Mortimer Hills tenement. Rock chip samples returned encouraging base metal (Pb-Cu-Ba-Ag) results containing up to 13.4% Cu, 2.95% Pb and 128ppm Ag. Base-metal mineralisation is considered to have the potential to extend across the tenement boundary and a new tenement application of 15 blocks has been lodged over the adjoining area.
Project Acquisition
Over the past 12 months the board of Zeus has examined numerous projects. Unfortunately the Directors have not felt that any of the reviewed projects had sufficient upside to warrant acquisition or joint venture. The Company will broaden information channels to get access to new potential acquisitions and joint venture opportunities and continue to actively review resource projects whether in uranium or other base metals such as copper, gold, nickel and zinc. The location of projects is not limited within Australia and will focus more on mid- Asian countries. The board remains committed to acquiring the right project with the long term goal of creating shareholder value in mind.

CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT
Cost Saving
The Company has taken a number of initiatives to minimise its costs and expenses. 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 based on drilling results and the consequential relinquishment of tenements to reduce minimum commitment expenditure requirements; and a strict control on general administration expenditures. Zeus has been and continues to be in a strong cash position with $4.7 million as at 30 June 2015 and no debt.
This strong financial position will enable the Company to carry out further exploration and explore acquisitions and joint venture possibilities in the next financial year.
I would like to thank my fellow directors for their efforts throughout the year.
Yours Sincerely,

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Tenement Status
The results of exploration work conducted during the year has enabled Zeus to consolidate its tenement holding by voluntarily relinquishing all or parts of tenements now considered to have limited prospects.
Transfer applications for four tenements have been completed during the year whilst two tenement transfers are pending. A new tenement application has been lodged as part of Zeus’ Gascoyne Project. Current tenement details are shown in Table 1 below.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Exploration Program
Exploration efforts during the year have comprised the following:
-
Wiluna Project – Exploration drilling (27 aircore holes for a total of 1,685m).
-
Narnoo Project – Exploration drilling (34 aircore holes for a total of 3,123m).
-
Gascoyne Project ‐ Geological mapping and rock chip sampling.
-
North Musgraves Project – Desktop studies and native title negotiations.
Wiluna Project
Zeus considered peneconcordant uranium mineralisation hosted within palaeochannels sandstones to be the primary exploration target within the Wiluna region, with surficial calcrete‐hosted mineralisation forming a secondary target.
Drilling aimed to assess the validity of geophysical data (ground gravity) obtained over the Yeelirrie South and Hinkler Well tenements and determine the validity of Zeus' exploration model prior to conducting further work.
A total of twenty seven air core drill holes, for a total of 1,685m, ( Table 2 ) targeting four separate palaeochannels, were completed on Zeus’ combined tenements within the Wiluna region during December 2014.
Results indicated that Tertiary palaeochannels were extensively developed throughout the region with palaeochannel sandstones developed within the Kukububba (Lake Way) and Yeelirrie South Palaeochannels.
Previously acquired ground gravity data proved very effective in defining the main inset palaeovalley axes with target sand horizons restricted to the centre of the inset palaeovalleys. Drilling confirmed the widespread occurrence of reduced sediments at depth within the palaeochannels and defined two regionally extensive target sand horizons.
Anomalous gamma associated with near‐surface calcrete development was intersected within several drill holes, most notably on the Hinkler Well tenement, however assay results indicated grades are low and showed the potential for strong negative secular disequilibrium.
Weak uranium mineralisation was intersected within palaeochannel sandstones within the Kukububba (Lake Way) Palaeochannel. A prospective redox boundary was encountered within basal palaeochannel sandstones at Yeelirrie South with anomalism detected within this target horizon in four historic holes situated nearby.
Drilling results have confirmed the validity of Zeus’ exploration model and validated the effectiveness of ground gravity to define the palaeochannels. Zeus considers the results obtained from drilling, particularly the regionally extensive target sand horizons containing prospective redox boundaries and anomalous uranium, to be sufficiently prospective to warrant further drilling.
Drilling of ~30 drill holes for 2,000m is proposed for the Lake Way and Yeelirrie South Projects with details currently being finalised.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Yeelirrie Palaeochannel
Eight drill holes were completed within the Yeelirrie Palaeochannel ( Figure 2, Table 2 ) with drill holes targeting ground gravity lows defining the palaeochannel axis.
E36/733
Six drill holes completed on E36/733 confirmed the presence of the major palaeochannel interpreted from ground gravity data, defining a deep (up to 95m) Tertiary palaeovalley containing two regionally extensive target sand horizons.
Whilst no significant anomalism was detected within palaeochannel sandstones, the two target sand horizons are well‐developed and a prospective lateral redox boundary was detected within the Palaeochannel axis. Examination of sparse historical drilling records indicate the presence of anomalous gamma within basal channel sands in four drill holes within the region.
Exploration results have allowed Zeus to reduce the E36/733 tenement down to 42 graticular blocks, covering areas within the main ‘inset’ palaeovalley axis with the potential for palaeochannel sandstone‐hosted uranium mineralisation. Follow up drilling is being planned for this tenement.
E36/735
Two drill holes were completed on E36/735 and confirmed the presence of the palaeochannel interpreted from ground gravity data however the channel was shallow and prospective sand‐ horizons were not intersected.
Zeus’ has therefore elected to relinquish the E36/735 tenement.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Abercromby Palaeochannel
E53/1247
Nine holes were drilled within the Abercromby Palaeochannel on Hinkler Well (E53/1247). Drill hole locations are shown in Figure 3 with drill hole details summarised in Table 2 .
Five drill holes targeted ground gravity lows on the western half of the tenement and indicated depths to basement within the Abercromby Palaeochannel ranging from 46m to 72m. Drilling intersected, two regionally extensive target sand horizons, however anomalous uranium was not detected with the sands instead showing evidence of uranium remobilisation.
Minor anomalism associated with discontinuous calcrete development was intersected in four drill holes ( Table 2 ) on the western half of the tenement whilst four holes were drilled across a substantial (>1,000cps) surface radiometric anomaly associated with calcrete outcrop on the eastern part of the tenement. Assay results disappointingly returned only minimal U values (generally <5ppm U3O8, best intercept of 49.4ppm U3O8) and indicated strong negative disequilibrium 0‐5m depth and positive disequilibrium >5m depth, suggesting uranium mineralisation has been remobilised downstream towards Toro Energy’s Abercromby, Centipede & Millipede deposits.
Zeus’ considers the ground to be unprospective and has therefore elected to relinquish the E53/1247 tenement.

Lake Gregory Palaeochannel
E53/1600 & E53/1602
Three drill holes were completed on E53/1602 ( Figure 4 ) with no drilling conducted on E53/1600. Drilling targeted a radio metrically anomalous linear valley‐fill calcrete (similar to that developed on Hinkler Well) within the centre of the Palaeovalley.
==> picture [325 x 458] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4. Zeus drill holes and surface radiometric anomalism within the Lake Gregory Palaeochannel on E53/1602.
Drilling on the Lake Gregory Palaeochannel indicated that Tertiary palaeochannel sediments were poorly‐developed or absent in the middle to upper reaches of the palaeochannels. Surficial calcrete was moderately developed but assay results indicated low uranium grades (< 20ppm U3O8) with a best intercept of 67.7ppm U3O8.
Zeus’ has therefore elected to relinquish the E53/1600 and E53/1602 tenements.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Kukububba Palaeochannel
E53/1601
Two drill holes were completed on the northern half of E53/1601 ( Figure 5, Table 2) and failed to intersect Tertiary sediments, indicating that the upper reaches of the Kukububba Palaeochannel was an area of erosion rather than deposition of palaeochannel sediments.
Drilling results on E53/1603 indicate that the main Kukububba Palaeovalley axis is likely to extend northwards onto the southern half of E53/1601.
Zeus has therefore elected to relinquish the northern parts of E53/1601 with the tenement being reduced from 70 to 22 graticular blocks to focus on areas where prospective palaeochannel sediments are likely to be well‐developed. Follow up drilling is being planned for this tenement.

E53/1603 & E53/1604
Five holes were drilled on E53/1603 across the interpreted course of the main Kukububba Palaeovalley ( Figure 6, Table 2 ). A sixth planned drill hole on E53/1604 was unable to be completed due to insufficient time.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Drilling intersected thin lacustrine clays on the margins of the palaeochannel whilst the axis of the Kukububba Palaeochannel was located with the final drill hole of the program (ZLW005). This drill hole again intersected the two regionally widespread prospective target reduced sand‐horizons within the palaeochannel axis. The eastern margin of the palaeochannel has not been located and is likely to extend a considerable distance onto E53/1604.
Weakly anomalous gamma was detected within ZLW005 over a broad interval (45‐60m) with assay results returning elevated uranium values (2‐4 times background values). Whilst uranium grades were low (best intercept of 16.7ppm U3O8) this drill hole provides the first evidence of palaeochannel sandstone‐hosted uranium mineralisation within the region and importantly validates Zeus’ exploration model.
Zeus has elected to relinquish areas considered to overly shallow basement, on the eastern parts of E53/1603 and western margins of E53/1604, to focus on the likely extensions of the Kukububba Palaeochannel to the north and south. Follow‐up drilling is being planned for these two tenements.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Narnoo Project
A total of 34 air core drill holes were completed for a total of 3,123m on the Narnoo Project during the year. Drilling was conducted in two phases with an initial 12 air core drill holes, for a total of 1,322m completed during August/September 2014 and a further 22 air core drill holes, for a total of 1,801m, completed during May 2015.
Drill holes were sited to target interpreted gravity lows and conductive zones interpreted to contain palaeochannel sediments and targeted sandstone‐hosted uranium mineralisation developed at the base of the Tertiary palaeochannels.
Drill hole details summarised in Table 3 with locations at Narnoo North and Narnoo South are shown in Figure 7 and Figure 9 r espectively.
Narnoo North
Exploration drilling at Narnoo North was conducted in two phases during August/September 2014 and May 2015 ( Figure 7 , Table 4 ). Drilling aimed to further define the regional redox boundary developed within structurally controlled Western and Eastern palaeovalleys.
Drilling defined a regional redox boundary and determined that palaeochannel flow was to the north‐west with prospective reduced sediments restricted to an eroded platform developed along the south‐eastern margins of the combined tenement area.
Oxidised palaeochannel sediments showed strong lithological similarities with their reduced counterparts and weak radiometric anomalism (see Table 4 ) interpreted as remnant uranium mineralisation that has subsequently been remobilised.
Five drill holes (highlighted on Figure 7 ) intersected low‐grade uranium mineralisation hosted within reduced sandstones lying beneath an organic rich clay horizon ( Figure 8 ). Significant intervals are detailed in Table 3 . Of note, drill hole NAR003 intersected a 7m thick interval from 112m of low‐ grade mineralisation (av. 113.8ppm) including 1m @ 248.2ppm U3O8 (0.025% U3O8) from 113m.

Narnoo South
E28/2096
12 drill holes for a total of 701m were completed on Zeus’ E28/2096 and E28/2097 tenements at Narnoo South ( Figure 9, Table 4 ). Drilling aimed to test ground gravity surveying conducted previously.
Four drill holes were completed on E28/2096 and intersected up to 97m of Tertiary palaeochannel sediments. Well‐developed lignites and carbonaceous sandstones were encountered by two drill holes on the margins East Arm Palaeochannel but only minor anomalous gamma was encountered.
Zeus will possibly relinquish this tenement in the next financial period pending further review of data and results by the board.
E28/2097
Eight drill holes were completed on E28/2097 and intersected a narrow tributary palaeochannel, steeply incised into underlying Permian sediments. Tertiary lignites and palaeochannel sandstones were well‐developed within the channel, with up to 27m of lignite intersected ( Figure 10 ). A broad zone of lignite‐hosted uranium mineralisation, similar in style to the Mulga Rocks Uranium Deposits, occurred at the RedOx boundary developed at the top of the lignite horizon at ~30‐35m depth.
Historical drilling within the vicinity suggests the mineralised zone ranges from 1‐5m thick (av.2‐3m thick). Assay results from the mineralised zones within Zeus’ drill holes ( Table 5 ) confirmed the presence of this mineralised zone with the following average grades:
NAR0183m@ 209ppm U3O8 36‐39m NAR0193m@ 218ppm U3O8 32‐35m

Zeus’ drilling indicated that anomalous gamma and uranium mineralisation occurs over a length of ~4km ( Figure 10 ) within the channel with this zone remaining open to both the S/SE (upstream) and the W/NW (downstream) towards Manhattan Resources “The Shelf” Uranium occurrence ( Figure 9 ).
Zeus considers the E28/2097 to have the potential to contain a small uranium resource. Further drilling is planned for this tenement.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Gascoyne Project
A. Red Rock (E52/2122)
Field work and rock chip sampling at Red Rock indicated that radiometric anomalism is attributed primarily to a high Potassium and Thorium content, along with minor Uranium mineralisation. This weakly anomalous geochemistry, coupled with massive nature and excellent exposure of the Red Rock batholith satisfactorily accounts for the strong airborne radiometric response.
Field work determined that the massive, undeformed nature of the Red Rock batholith indicated that shear‐hosted uranium/gold mineralisation, similar to occurrences within the Despair Granite to the east of the tenement, were unlikely to within the Discretion Granite on the Red Rock tenement. Furthermore, Despair Granite style mineralisation is not likely to contain sufficiently high uranium grades to warrant further exploration.
Zeus will possibly relinquish the E52/2122 tenement in the next financial period pending further review of data and results by the board
B. Mortimer Hills (E09/1618)
Work on the Mortimer Hills tenement comprised extensive field mapping, ground radiometric surveying and rock chip sampling to investigate numerous potential targets within the tenement. Prospect locations and names are shown in Figure 11 .
In addition to prospects reported previously, fieldwork defined two other prospective styles of mineralisation:
-
Iron‐Oxide hosted Uranium mineralisation.
-
Base Metal (Pb/Zn) Mineralisation.
1. Iron‐Oxide hosted Uranium mineralisation.
Radio metrically anomalous Iron‐Oxide breccias were noted at several outcrops within the E09/1618 tenement. Mapping defined two main prospects at Mummil Well and Mummil Pool.
Mineralisation at the Mummil Well Prospect ( Figure 12 ) is hosted by ironstone / ferruginous breccia developed at the contact between para‐gneiss and pegmatitic granite. Radiometric anomalism averaged 2,000‐3,000cps with hotspots up to 6,500cps. Handheld RS‐125 Super‐Spec gamma‐ray spectrometer assays returned up to 522ppm U whilst rock chip samples taken for confirmatory geochemical assay returned between results 125.2ppm U3O8and 511.0ppm U3O8.
Mineralisation at the Mummil Pool Prospect ( Figure 13 ) was hosted by a silicified iron‐oxide breccia. Radiometric anomalism averaged 900‐1,200cps with localised hotspots up to 4,300 cps at surface. Handheld RS‐125 Super‐Spec gamma‐ray spectrometer assays returned up to 290ppm U whilst rock chip samples taken for confirmatory geochemical assay returned results between 125.2ppm U3O8 and 587.6ppm U3O8.

2. Base Metal (Pb/Zn) Mineralisation.
Historical exploration data indicated the potential for base metal mineralisation at the Dingo Well Prospect ( Figure 11 ), located at the unconformity at the base of the early Proterozoic Bangemall Group within the Ti‐Tree Syncline. Field mapping indicated that ironstone gossans are extensively developed along this contact where they are associated with extensive alteration ( Figure 14 ).
Mapping indicated abundant alteration and ironstone development along the ~20km of exposed strike extent of this contact with common radiometric hot‐spot anomalies (e.g. AGIP Yards Prospect, Figure 11 ), associated with zones of uranium enrichment. Rock chip samples from these ironstone gossans returned assay results of 50‐58% Fe and up to 178ppm U3O8.
Mapping along strike within vacant ground 1.7km north of Zeus’ E09/1918 tenement boundary discovered a 2‐3m thick bed of exhalative barite within Bangemall Group Sediments at the Reid Well Prospect, containing prominent green malachite and black chalcocite mineralisation ( Figure 15 ). Assay results from this area returned up to 13.4% Cu, 2.95%Pb & 128ppm Ag. A new tenement application has (E09/2147, Table 1 ) been lodged covering this ground.

Work during the year comprised desktop studies of available geological data and ongoing negotiations with native title holders to facilitate access.
Due to difficulties in negotiating an access agreement Zeus has determined that the prospectivity of the tenement does not warrant any further work. A decision as to whether to relinquish this tenement will be made dependent on further board consideration and consultation with our legal representatives.

Drillholes were oriented vertically. Drillhole traverses were oriented along existing access tracks orthogonal to interpreted palaeochannel orientation. |
| If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
Drillholes were not surveyed using a downhole orientation tool and cannot be incorporated in any future ore reserve calculations. No sampling bias is evident in the orientation of the drill holes. |

Exploration efforts have been conducted following review of publically available historical exploration data from the WA Department of Mines & Petroleum "WAMEX" dataset. Shallow drilling for surficial calcrete‐hosted uranium mineralisation has been conducted sporadically by several companies over Zeus’ Wiluna Project. Tertiary palaeochannel sediments have previously been reported in waterbore records but the majority of waterbores targeted shallow aquifers. Historical drilling focused almost exclusively on shallow calcrete‐hosted uranium mineralisation with >90% of historical drillholes <20m in depth. Regional scale drilling was conducted by BP Minerals, Uranerz Australia Ltd and PNC Australia Ltd during the 1979‐1985 period with several exploration holes being sited on Zeus' tenements in the Narnoo Region. Additional drilling was undertaken by Oklo Uranium during the 2007‐2008 period at Narnoo South. |

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
| Drill hole Information | A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
All drillholes are reported within the drillhole details Tables included in the report. |
|---|---|---|
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut‐off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
A cut‐off grade of 200ppm (0.2% U3O8) has been used for mineralisation. Grades below this are referred to as anomalous U or gamma. Grades <50ppm U3O8 are not considered significant. Drillhole assay results within mineralised zones at Narnoo South have been averaged over the width of the zone with individual metre grades reported. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
N/A |
|
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
Uranium values have been reported as U3O8 (ppm) derived from laboratory assay. No metal equivalent values have been reported. |
|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
Uranium mineralisation widths as reported have been derived from samples of aircore drilling cuttings taken at 1m intervals. |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
Current indications of anomalous gamma intercepts at Wiluna are not sufficient to draw any conclusions about their geometry. Uranium mineralisation at Narnoo is interpreted to be broadlytabular(peneconcordant)in style |

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your Directors present their report together with the financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30[th] June 2015.
Review of operations
During the past financial year, the Company still focused on both geological exploration of current tenements and new project acquisitions.
Regarding exploration, we undertook work on current tenements in varying degrees and prioritised our plan of works according to the potential of the tenements. The key drilling areas were in Wiluna and Narnoo.
A total of 27 air core drill holes for a total of 1,685m were completed on Zeus’ combined tenements within the Wiluna region during December 2014. Almost all drill holes intersected variably developed Tertiary palaeochannel sediments. The majority of Tertiary sediments intersected were lacustrine clays, however, palaeochannel sandstones potentially suitable for In Situ Recovery (ISR) were developed within the Kukububba (Lake Way) and Yeelirrie South Palaeochannels.
22 air core drill holes for a total of 1,801m were completed on the Narnoo North and South tenements during May-June 2015. 12 were completed on the Narnoo South tenements for a total of 733m. 10 drill holes were completed on the combined Narnoo North tenements for a total of 1,100m. 85 samples were submitted for geochemical analysis. 27 lignite samples were submitted for assay and the drilling target is sandstone-hosted uranium mineralisation. The drillings have checked the geological settings and exploration potential. It also provided evidence for optimal consolidation of tenements.
A ground prospect was carried out in Mortimer Hills to identify and register a new tenement with mineralisation potential.
Regarding the project acquisition, the main targets were uranium and other basic metals such as copper, gold, nickel and zinc. The location of projects are not limited within Australia and will more focus on MidAsia countries. As the market is still in a current downturn, the board believes it is a good opportunity to actively pursue project acquisitions. The Company will take initiatives to broaden information channels to get access to new and profitable projects in the market.
We also managed to reduce costs in a number of areas and stabilised cash outflows in order to maintain the Company’s liquidity. We strictly implemented regulations and policies to ensure the operations comply with the Company’s mission statement, strategy and organization culture.
Results of Operations
For the year ended 30th June 2015 the Company recorded a loss of $1,704,286 (2014: Loss $1,285,422).
Total exploration expenditure for the year was $1,004,095 (2014: $604,471) of which $928,685 was capitalised to exploration assets (2014: $450,601).
Significant changes in state of affairs
- No significant changes were made to the structure and composition of board and management to 30[th] June 2015. However, Mr Chuanxi Ding submitted his resignation on 30[th] July 2015, this was accepted and approved by the board later. Mr Shouyin Wang was delegated by Zhengyuan

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of the Company 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 Company 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 Company’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 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 overall performance of the 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 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') program comprises of 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 entity's direct competitors.
At issue date of this report there are no Key Management personnel receiving “STI” or “LTI” benefits.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTS
==> picture [35 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been approved by the board on the date of signing.
The principal activity of the Company 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 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 Company 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.
- (iv) Foreign currency transactions and balances:
Items included in the financial statements are measured using Australian Dollars (functional currency of Zeus Resources Ltd). Financial statements of the entity are presented 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.
Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company 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 Company.
B. Management Plan
The Company has incurred an accumulated net loss after tax of $1,704,286 to the year ended 30 June 2015. Net cash used in operating activities during the year was $1,897,235 (Year Ended June 2014: $2,085,164). The directors have prepared cash flow projections to September 2016 that support the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company had $4,414,000 cash as at 11[th] September 2015 and therefore the continued operation of the Company is not inherently dependent upon raising further capital or acquire debt instruments to fund its current exploration programme for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.
52
Zeus Resources Limited
==> picture [35 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTS
C. Principles of Consolidation
The 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. For the 2015 reporting period and future reporting periods the Company will no longer be presenting consolidated financial statements as it is no longer part of a group of companies or holds any interest in any other company or subsidiary. Hence the current year values in this report are for the single entity Zeus Resources Limited.
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 Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
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 Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are generally settled between 7 days and 90 days terms.
F. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an the Company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount.. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted at a rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.
53
Zeus Resources Limited
==> picture [35 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTS
G. 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.
The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.
H. 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 Company. 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.
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, 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.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Company considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
54
Zeus Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTS
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the Company 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 from the company.
K. 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.
L. 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 Company 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
-
Plant and equipment other than computers – five years
-
Plant and equipment - computers – three years
-
Furniture & fittings – ten years
-
Leasehold Improvements – term of lease.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTS
(iii) Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company 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.
M. 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 Company, 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.
N. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company 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 Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.
O. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTS
P. Share based payments - Options
Options issues are contracts through which Zeus gives the beneficiary the right, but not the obligation, to buy a specified number of shares at a predetermined price within a set time period. The Company may issue options as equity settled payment transactions in relation to employ benefits or for the acquisition of assets. Shares acquired by a beneficiary through options issues will have the same rights as ordinary shares issued in the Company.
The cost of equity-settled transactions in the form of options will be recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income (or Statement of Financial Position if issued for capital purchases), together with a corresponding increase in the share option reserve. However, where the options have vesting conditions attached the cost of the transaction is amortised over the vesting period.
Q. 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 Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2015. The Company's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Company, 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 Company has decided not to early adopt. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the Company is as follows:
- AASB 9 Financial Instruments (December 2014) and AASB 2014-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2014) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018)
AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, the accounting requirements for financial liabilities, impairment testing requirements and hedge accounting requirements.
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 and an allowance for debt instruments to be carried at fair value through other comprehensive income in certain circumstances
-
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
-
introducing new general hedge accounting requirements intended to more closely align hedge accounting with risk management activities as well as the addition of new disclosure requirements
-
requirements for impairment of financial assets
The company has not yet assessed the impact of this standard.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTS
- 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 January 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.
These amendments not expected to impact the company and will be incorporated into any future relevant transactions involving investments or joint ventures.
- 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 January 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.
These amendments are not expected to impact the company as revenue-based calculations have not been used historical and are not predicted to be used in the future.
AASB 2014-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2016)
This standard will allow entities to use the equity method to account for its interest in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in separate financial statements and makes editorial corrections to AASB 127.
These amendments is not expected to impact the company and will be implemented should any interest in a subsidiary arise.
- AASB 2014-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2016)
The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in AASB 10 and those in AASB 128 (2011), in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture.
The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary.

The tax losses and deferred tax assets do not expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not yet probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can utilise the benefits. The benefit of these tax losses will only be obtained if:
-
The Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised.
-
The company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and
-
No changes in tax legislation adversely affects the Company realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

-
the results of future exploration; and
-
the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or by their sale.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTS
a) Credit risk
The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk with debtors as the Company has not issued any sales for services or products during the period ending 30[th] June 2015, hence the Company does not insure any outstanding debts.
The Company has taken steps to reduce risk of significant exposure to its cash holdings. Excess cash funds have been invested in low risk Term Deposits with two financial institutions – Westpac Banking Corporation $2,647,435 and $2,035,732 with the Bank of China. The Term Deposits have staggered expiry dates to ensure that the Company can access funds as needed without penalty. Both of these institutions meet stringent banking regulations and the risk to the funds placed therein is minimal.
The maximum risk for the period ending 30[th] June 2015 extended to Trade and other payables amounting to $175,336 which was due to be paid within the next 90 days at a maximum. The Company has sufficient funds to meet this requirement.

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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.

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
79
Zeus Resources Limited
==> picture [34 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
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

CORPORATE 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.
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.
81
Zeus Resources Limited
==> picture [34 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
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 ongoing monitoring by the Chairman and the members of the Board.
The Chairman also speaks to Directors individually regarding their role as a Director.
ACCESS TO INFORMATION
Each Director has access to Board papers and all relevant documentation.
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.
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.
82
Zeus Resources Limited
==> picture [34 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
BOARD NOMINATIONS
The Board has not followed Recommendation 2.1(a) as it has 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. However, the members of the Board communicated with each other on regular basis to address any issues which arose in this regard.
In compliance with Recommendation 2.1(b), the Board considers 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).
TERMS OF APPOINTMENT AS A DIRECTOR
The Constitution of the Company provides that a Director, other than the Managing Director, may not retain office for more than three calendar years or beyond the third Annual General Meeting following his or her election, whichever is longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election. One third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must retire each year and are eligible for re-election. The Directors who retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting are those with the longest length of time in office since their appointment or last election.
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.
PERIOD OF OFFICE HELD BY EACH DIRECTOR
-
Mr Gregory Clifton Hall since 18 August 2010
-
Mr Jiangang Zhao since 25 February 2013

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS
The Company considers that as at 30 June 2015 Mr. Gregory Clifton Hall is classified as an Independent Director.

-
within the last three years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the Company, or has been a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment;

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

==> picture [34 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Company complies with Recommendation 7.1(b) by disclosing the processes it employs for overseeing the Company’s risk management, being that 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.
INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Due to the size of the Company, Recommendation 7.2 is not relevant for the Company as the Board has the oversight function of risk management and internal control systems.
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.

The board is of the belief that the size of the Company does not warrant the cost of appointing an internal auditor.

Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly
In response to Recommendation 8.1(a), the Board has not established a remuneration committee.. The Board is directed by the Chairperson who operates as the Committee, due to the size and nature of the Company.
