DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Company is currently operating in a weak uranium market which has affected the rate of exploration and overall progress of exploration and drilling programmes on its tenements. The board remains optimistic about the potential of all of the remaining tenements and the uranium market in general as the fundamentals of the market suggest that there is currently an annual demand for approximately 75,000,000 kg of uranium. Investment opportunities in other rare earths and metal operations are also being currently pursued. See Chart 1 below:

==> picture [443 x 322] intentionally omitted <==

Chart 1: World Uranium consumption prediction. http://www.minerals.org.au/resources/uranium/uranium_nuclear_forecasts

The Company has further investigated mining opportunities in Laos and Kyrgyzstan. A site visit was made in December 2016 to Laos. A representative of the Company met with mining department officials to facilitate and visit potential project sites in Laos.

The Company entered into a Joint Venture agreement with Segue Limited last year in regards to its Mortimer Hill Project tenement E09/1681. Segue Limited reported in its latest quarterly activities update that they are ‘ontarget’ to achieve the conditions of the farm-in agreement by “Q2 2017”. Segue planned to undertake a “detailed soil sampling” programme in February 2017.

Table 1. Zeus Resources Tenement Details

Exploration efforts during the reporting period were focussed on a field visit to the Narnoo and Wiluna Projects in preparation for the upcoming, and DMP approved, drilling programmes within those Project areas.

Work on the Mortimer Hills Joint Venture continued with a stream sediment geochemical sampling programme undertaken, and reported on in more depth, by joint venture partner Segue Resources Ltd.

Wiluna Project

During the reporting period preparation for the proposed follow up drilling on the Lake Way and Yeelirrie South Projects continued. This preparation included a field visit to the Project area to further evaluate access and drill hole collar locations for suitability subsequent to a further review of previous drill results.

The proposed drilling is a follow up to a successful drilling programme conducted in December 2014 where prospective reduced sediments were determined to be widespread at depth within the Lake Way and Yeelirrie Palaeochannels, with two regionally extensive target sand horizons determined to be restricted to the palaeovalley.

The follow up drill programme has been planned to target these prospective reduced palaeochannel sandstones within the Kukububba (Lake Way) and Yeelirrie South Palaeochannels.

Approval for this drilling programme has been granted by the DMP, and Aboriginal heritage clearance also obtained for these drill locations within the Lake Way and Yeelirrie South Project areas.

Zeus will investigate viable opportunities for the proposed drilling during the next reporting period.

Narnoo Project

During the reporting period preparation for the proposed follow up drilling of the Narnoo South (E28/2097) uranium prospect. This preparation included a field visit to the Project area to further assess access and drill hole collar locations for suitability after further review of the results from previous drilling.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Data input into Zeus’s geological model for the area has been used to develop a drilling programme of 12 (priority 1) holes at Narnoo South designed to confirm uranium grade and thicknesses within the Driller’s Palaeochannel which was identified during the drilling programme conducted in May 2015.

Approval for this drilling programme has been granted by the DMP for these drill locations and Zeus currently plans to undertake the proposed drilling in the first half of 2017.

The Narnoo South project remains an area of strong interest for Zeus, and as at the Wiluna Project options for follow up drilling of the Narnoo South (E28/2097) uranium prospect are currently being explored.

Gascoyne Project

During the reporting period, joint venture partner Segue Resources Ltd carried out a stream sediment survey and a geochemical review over E09/1618. A total of 160 Stream sediment samples were collected over the tenement at an average sample density of 2.5 samples per square kilometre.

Results from the stream sediment programme over E09/1618, and the wider project region, showed a strong correlation amongst the LCT Pegmatite pathfinder elements Li-Cs-Ta + Be, Rb, Nb, Sn. More specifically the samples collected over E09/1618 highlighted some weak anomalism in the vicinity of Camel Hill where stream sediment sampling did not quite cover the entire prospective area (see Figure 2 below).

This work has continued to support the projects prospectivity to host LCT pegmatites.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

A follow-up stream sediment sampling programme is anticipated to be completed in the Q3 FY17 by Segue Resources to allow further evaluation of the prospectivity of the Camel Hill Prospect to be undertaken.

It is estimated that a further 20-60 stream sediment samples will be collected and analysed from E09/1618 to allow evaluation of the Camel Hill Prospect.

Also during the reporting period, the tenement application for E09/2147 was granted after objections by the Native Title Representative Body for the area were rescinded.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ZEUS RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Zeus Resources Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • ⎯ giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • ⎯ complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

As the auditor of Zeus Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
