DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Your Directors present their report together with the financial statements of the Company for the financial half‐ year period ended 31[st] December 2014
Directors
The Directors in office during the year and as at the date of this report are:
Mr. Chuanxi Ding Mr. Jiangang Zhao Mr. Gregory Clifton Hall Mr. Yong Zhang
Directors have been in office since the start of the financial year (1 July 2014) to date of this report unless otherwise stated
Significant events during the reporting period
During the half‐year, the Company focussed on aircore drilling on the Narnoo and Wiluna Projects.
Drilling program of 12 holes implemented in Narnoo project with total depth of 1,322m. A total of 123 samples were submitted for assay with 15% of samples returning assay values > 50ppm U3O8. Drill hole Nar003 intersected a 7m thick interval from 112m of low‐grade mineralisation (av. 113.8ppm U3O8) including 1m @ 248.2ppm U3O8 (0.025% U3O8) from 113m.
A total of 27 aircore drillholes for a total of 1,685m were completed on Zeus’ combined tenements within the Wiluna region during December 2014. Almost all drillholes 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.
Zeus Resourcesʹ wholly owned subsidiary Kalium Corporation was the management company of the ‘Percival Lakes’ project which comprised six tenement applications lodged with the Department of Mining in WA.
After a comprehensive geological review the prospectivity of the tenements was concluded to be limited due the lack of a suitable potential uranium source. Also 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. Upon negotiations with relevant land councils it was found that the stakeholders required substantial payments in order for land access to be granted. These payments alone exceeded the budgeted exploration expenditure for the project area.
The Board decided that Kalium Corporation Pty Ltd was not a viable venture and would provide no future benefit to the Group. On 8th November 2013, Zeus Resources appointed CRS Insolvency Services to liquidate Kalium Corporation Pty Ltd. The liquidation has now been completed and Kalium Corporation Pty Ltd was deregistered on 12th December 2014. Zeus Resources Limited now has no further interest or liabilities relating to the Percival Lakes Project.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Status of Tenements
The Company holds 17 exploration licences all based in WA. These tenements are listed in the tenement schedule on page 20 of these reports. Extensive exploration works were undertaken on the majority of tenements during the past 6 months. The results of which are disclosed in the ‘Exploration Program’ section below.
The Company implements its funding and development strategy. The Company actively focussed on geological exploration and project acquisitions. As the market continues in a downturn mode, the Company’s objective is still to take advantage of the low and actively pursue project acquisitions.
Exploration Program
Narnoo Project, WA
Twelve aircore drillholes were drilled on the Narnoo Project during the period for a total of 1,322m. Drilling aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of geophysical survey data and targeted sandstone‐hosted peneconcordant uranium mineralisation developed at the base of the Tertiary Ground gravity surveying proved to be very effective at defining structurally‐controlled grabens infilled with palaeochannel sediments. Drilling results confirmed the palaeochannels containing coarse fluvial sandstones with the potential to be suitable to In Situ Recovery techniques.
Drilling indicated that basal palaeochannel sediments were commonly reduced, pyritic and carbonaceous, and defined an organic‐rich reduced target horizon containing low‐grade uranium mineralisation at base of the palaeochannel. Prospective lateral and vertical redox boundaries were also identified within this horizon, along with evidence of the movement of mineralising ‘geochemical cells’.
A total of 123 samples were submitted for assay with 15% of samples returning assay values >50ppm U3O8. Drillhole NAR003 intersected a 7m thick interval from 112m of low‐grade mineralisation (av. 113.8ppm U3O8) including 1m @ 248.2ppm U3O8 (0.025% U3O8) from 113m.
Wiluna Project, WA
Twenty seven aircore drillholes for a total of 1,685m, targeting four separate palaeochannels, were completed on Zeus’ combined tenements within the Wiluna region during the period.
Drilling targeted sandstone‐hosted peneconcordant uranium mineralisation developed at the base of the Tertiary palaeochannels with surficial calcrete‐hosted mineralisation forming a secondary target. The program aimed to assess the validity of geophysical data (ground gravity) obtained over the Yeelirrie South and Hinkler Well tenements and determine the validity of Zeusʹ exploration model prior to conducting further work.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Results soon indicated that almost all drillholes intersected variably developed Tertiary palaeochannel sediments, whilst confirming the presence of prospective reduced sediments within the palaeochannels and defining two regionally extensive target sand horizons.
Drilling showed that ground gravity surveying was very effective in defining the main palaeovalley axes with target sand horizons restricted to ‘inset‐valleys’ within the centre of these palaeovalleys. Palaeochannel sandstones potentially suitable for In Situ Recovery (ISR) intersected within the Kukububba (Lake Way) Abercromby and Yeelirrie South Palaeochannels.
Weakly anomalous gamma associated with near‐surface calcrete development was widespread throughout the region but assay results indicated they do not represent a viable exploration target.
Minor anomalism was intersected within palaeochannel sandstones in the Lake Way region with assay results indicating a 2 x background enrichment. A prospective redox boundary was encountered within basal palaeochannel sandstones at Yeelirrie South whilst historical waterbore records indicate sandstone‐hosted anomalism at the base of the Yeelirrie Palaeochannel.
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 redox boundaries and anomalous gamma, to be sufficiently prospective to warrant follow up drilling. Pending acquisition and review of proprietary data, follow up drilling is planned for the Lake Way and Yeelirrie South Projects with proposed future drilling likely for Q2/Q3 2015.
A. Yeelirrie Palaeochannel
Eight drillholes were completed within the Yeelirrie Palaeochannel and confirmed the presence of the major palaeochannel interpreted from ground gravity data, defining a deep (>90m) Tertiary palaeovalley in which Basal Channel Sands are blanketed by extensive lacustrine clays.
Minor traces of calcrete‐hosted uranium mineralisation were intersected near surface but assay results indicated they were not sufficient to warrant follow‐up work.
Deeper drillholes intersected well‐developed palaeochannel sands overlying granitic basement within an inset palaeovalley axis containing two target sand horizons.
No significant anomalism was detected within palaeochannel sandstones however, a prospective lateral redox boundary identified will be targeted by follow up drilling in Q2/Q3 2015.
B. Abercromby Palaeochannel
Nine holes were drilled within the Abercromby Palaeochannel. Five holes targeted ground gravity lows on the western half of the tenement with a further four drillholes investigating a prominent radiometrically anomalous calcrete outcrop east of the Goldfields Highway.
Drilling in the western part of E53/1247 confirmed the presence of the palaeochannel interpreted from ground gravity data and indicated depths to basement up to 72m. Two regionally extensive target sand horizons were defined within the palaeochannel but no significant anomalism was detected.
Anomalous gamma was commonly encountered at shallow depths (<5m) in association with discontinuous surficial calcretes throughout the tenement however confirmatory assays returned uranium grades <100ppm U3O8.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
C. Lake Gregory Palaeochannel
Three drillholes were completed on within the Lake Gregory Palaeochannel targeting a radiometrically anomalous linear valley‐fill calcrete thought to mark the centre of the Palaeovalley.
Drilling intersected thinly developed lacustrine clays directly overlying crystalline basement with no sands intersected. Results indicate that the middle to upper reaches of the Lake Gregory Palaeovalley were subject to erosion rather than deposition of sediments and are not prospective for palaeochannel sandstone‐hosted mineralisation.
Minor anomalism was associated with surficial calcrete development however confirmatory assays returned uranium grades <100ppm U3O8.
D. Kukububba Palaeochannel
Two drillholes were completed on E53/1601 but intersected heavily weathered basement, indicating that, like the Lake Gregory Palaeochannel, the upper reaches of the Kukububba Palaeochannel was an area of erosion rather than deposition.
A further five holes were drilled in the vicinity of Lake Way across the interpreted course of the main Kukububba Palaeovalley. Two of these drillholes failed to intersect Tertiary palaeochannel sediments and instead encountered weathered pyritic greenstone saprolite and vein quartz. Composite samples were taken to assay for gold but returned no significant results.
Minor anomalism was observed in association with shallow calcretes but confirmatory assays returned values of <50ppm U3O8.
The remaining drillholes intersected marginal lacustrine clays with the final hole encountering a well‐ developed palaeochannel succession infilling an inset valley within the palaeochannel axis. Two reduced sand horizons were intersected within the palaeochannel fill with downhole logging defining a broad zone of weakly anomalous gamma at 45‐60m. Drilling failed to intersect the eastern margin of the Kukububba Palaeochannel and the channel remains open to the east.
Peak anomalism was observed within palaeochannel sands at 51m. Confirmatory assays returned low uranium values (<10ppm U3O8) but indicated weakly elevated uranium values (<20ppm U3O8) associated with the RedOx boundary at the base of the Mid Sequence Sands disconformably overlaid reduced clays. Although observed grades are low, assay results importantly confirm the movement of uranium‐bearing groundwater within the palaeochannel sandstones and provide the first verification that the palaeochannels within the Wiluna region have the potential to contain sandstone‐hosted uranium mineralisation.
Follow‐up drilling is being planned for the Kukububba Palaeochannel for Q2/Q3 2015.
Gascoyne Project
A. Red Rock (E52/2122)
Assay results received during the period determined that radiometric anomalism at Red Rock is attributed primarily to a high Potassium and Thorium content, along with minor Uranium enrichment. Together with the

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
excellent exposure of the Red Rock batholith, these results satisfactorily account for the strong airborne radiometric anomaly.
Mapping determined that the massive, undeformed nature of the Red Rock Granite indicated that shear‐hosted uranium/gold mineralisation were unlikely to occur on the Red Rock tenement. Zeus has determined that the tenement might not have a viable uranium deposit and may consider relinquishing the tenement in Q3/Q4 2015.
B. Mortimer Hills (E09/1618)
No work conducted during the period.
North Musgrave Project
No work conducted during the period.
Results of Operations
For the half‐ year ended 31[st] December 2014 the Company recorded a loss of $548,779 (31 December 2013: Loss $654,818).
Total exploration expenditure for the half‐year was $506,637 (31 December 2013: $401,085) of which $440,426 was capitalised to exploration assets (31 December 2013: $245,522).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This general purpose financial report for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2014 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
This interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report of Zeus Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 and any public announcements made by Zeus Resources Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements have been approved by the Board on the date of signing.
(a) Basis of accounting
Theses financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except if revaluation of certain non‐current assets have been made. Cost is based on the fair values of consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half‐year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2014, other than as detailed below.
(b) New Accounting Policies
In the current period, the Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. New and revised standards and amendments thereof and interpretations effective for the current half‐year that are relevant to the Company include:
-
AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and AASB 2012‐3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 132;
-
AASB 136 Impairment of Assets and AASB2013‐3 amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 136; and
-
AASB 1031 Materiality and AASB 2013‐9 (Part B) Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to delete references to AASB 1013
The adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations had no material impact on the reporting position or performance of the financial statements for the current or prior year.
(c) Consolidation
In 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. However prior year values will reflect consolidated values when the comparative year or period was a consolidated value. Current year values in this report are for the single entity Zeus Resources Limited.

(d) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The critical estimates and judgments are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the 30 June 2014 Annual Report with the exception of the following:
‐ Key Judgements – Exploration and evaluation expenditure.
Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. Costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at reporting date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. The capitalised expenditure at reporting date is $1,674,214 (30 June 2014: $1,233,782).
