4 Chairman s Report Dear Shareholder During the 2015 financial year Zamanco Minerals Limited (Zamanco or the Company) completed its structural wind down of the proposed Serenje Manganese Project in Zambia. The decision taken by the directors on 30 June 2014 to withdraw from the venture was based on the general resources outlook and difficult operating environment experienced during the 2014 financial year. This decision now appears to be vindicated based the performance of the resources sector during the last financial year. Several transactions of merit capable of becoming the major undertaking of the Company were considered and evaluated during the 2015 financial year. These opportunities were across a range of sectors. This process remains very active and is ongoing. Should a transaction be identified as containing sufficient merit then shareholders and the market will be kept fully informed in that regard. This will include adequate disclosure to allow shareholders to make an informed decision should shareholder approval be required. The Company maintained a sound financial position during the 2015 financial year that should continue to afford it the time and financial resources to conclude a transaction of merit that over time may recover lost and create additional shareholder value. On behalf of the board I thank you for your continuing support. Yours Sincerely Geoff Donohue Chairman Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

5 Review of Operations OVERVIEW Throughout the financial year, the Company progressed with the structural wind down of the Serenje Manganese Project in Zambia. Termination Agreements to divest the Company s interest in the majority of the tenements held were executed and the disposal of the following Zambian subsidiaries was completed: Zamanone Mining Limited; Zamantwo Minerals Limited; Zamanfour Minerals Limited; and Zamanfive Minerals Limited; and Zamansix Minerals Limited; and Zamanseven Minerals Limited. In June 2015, the decision was made to divest from Zamanthree Minerals Limited, the holding company of the Mansa Tenement, 18956HQLPL. As at 30 June 2015, with $3.15m in cash, the Company was in a strong financial position to identify and progress with an acquisition which may become its main undertaking. During the year, a number of potential business prospects were evaluated but with no appropriate transactions identified. Exploration Mansa exploration project 18956HQLPL (granted 10 June 2014) Following the grant of this tenement in June 2014, a preliminary work programme to assess the potential of the licence area was prepared. The Company complied with reporting requirements to the Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development, Zambia and received notification that the draft Environmental Project Brief submitted to the Zambia Environmental Management Agency ( ZEMA ) had been reviewed and had met their requirements. In the June 2015 Quarter, the Company made the decision not to undertake any exploration on this tenement as it was not considered financially viable. The divesture from the subsidiary which holds the tenement, Zamanthree Minerals Limited, commenced. Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

Geoffrey Donohue Chairman Perth, Western Australia 3 September 2015 Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

15 Corporate Governance This statement outlines the main corporate governance practices that have been formally adopted by the Directors. These corporate governance practices comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council recommendations unless otherwise stated. Board of Directors The Board operates in accordance with the broad principles set out in its charter. Role and Responsibilities of the Board The Board is responsible for ensuring that the Company is managed in a manner which protects and enhances the interests of its shareholders and takes into account the interests of all stakeholders. This includes setting the strategic directions for the Company, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals. A summary of the key responsibilities of the Board include: 1. Strategy Providing strategic guidance to the Group, including contributing to the development of and approving the corporate strategy, acquisitions and divestures; 2. Financial performance Approving budgets, monitoring management and financial performance; 3. Financial reporting and audits Monitoring financial performance including approval of the annual and halfyear financial reports and liaison with the external auditors; 4. Leadership selection and performance Appointment, performance assessment and removal of the Managing Director. Ratifying the appointment and/or removal of other senior management, including the Company Secretary and other Board members; 5. Remuneration Management of the remuneration and reward systems and structures for executive management and staff; 6. Risk management Reviewing, ratifying and monitoring risk management systems (including an established code of conduct and share trading policy), internal controls and legal compliance; and 7. Relationships with the exchanges, regulators and continuous disclosure Ensuring that the capital markets are kept informed of all relevant and material matters and ensuring effective communications with shareholders. The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board. All directors have direct access to the Company Secretary. Composition of the Board The names and details of the Directors of the Company in office at the date of this Statement are set out in the Directors Report. A summary of their skills and experiences are provided in table 1 below. The composition of the Board is determined using the following principles: Persons nominated as Nonexecutive Directors shall be expected to have qualifications, experience and expertise of benefit to the Company and to bring an independent view to the Board s deliberations. Persons nominated as Executive Directors must be of sufficient stature and security of employment to express independent views on any matter. The Chairperson should ideally be independent, but in any case be Nonexecutive and be elected by the Board based on his/her suitability for the position. The roles of Chairperson and Managing Director should not be held by the same individual. All Nonexecutive Directors are expected voluntarily to review their membership of the Board from timetotime taking into account length of service, age, qualifications and expertise relevant to the Company s then current policy and programme, together with the other criteria considered desirable for composition of a balanced board and the overall interests of the Company. Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

16 Corporate Governance The Company considers that the Board should have at least three Directors (minimum required under the Company's Constitution) and strives to have a majority of independent Directors but acknowledges that this may not be possible at all times due to the size of the Company. Currently the Board has three Directors, none of which are independent directors. The Board believes that the Directors can make, and do make, quality and independent judgements in the best interests of the Company on all relevant issues, notwithstanding that they are not independent. The number of Directors is maintained at a level which will enable effective spreading of workload and efficient decision making. The Chairman, Mr Geoff Donohue, is not an independent Director. However, the Board believes Mr Donohue is the most appropriate person for the position of Chairman because of his experience and proven track record as a public company director. The Board has accepted the following definition of an independent Director: An independent Director is a Director who is not a member of management (a Nonexecutive Director) and who: is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, with a substantial shareholder of the Company; has not within the last three years been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another group member, or been a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment; is not a principal of a professional adviser to the Company or another group member; is not a significant consultant, supplier or customer of the Company or another group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, with a significant consultant, supplier or customer; has no significant contractual relationship with the Company or another group member other than as a Director of the Company; has not served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director s ability to act in the best interests of the Company; and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director s ability to act in the best interests of the Company. Zamanco considers a significant consultant, supplier or customer to be material if the total of their annual invoices amounts to more than 5% of the Company s total expenditure in that category. Table 1 Areas of competence and skills of the Board of Directors Area Business and Finance Industry Specific Leadership Sustainability & Stakeholder Relations Global Competence Accounting, Audit, Business Strategy, Corporate Financing, Financial Literacy, Mergers & Acquisitions, Agreements/Fiscal Terms, and Risk Management Precious Metals Exploration, development and production, Capital Projects, Industrials, and Petroleum exploration Business Leadership, Public Listed Company Experience, Executive Management and Mentoring Community Relations, Corporate Governance, Environmental Issues, Government Affairs, Health & Safety, Human Resources, Industrial Relations and Remuneration Mining & Resources, Accounting and Processing The directors on the Board collectively have a combination of skills and experience in the competencies set out in the table above. These competencies are set out in the skills matrix that the Board uses to assess the skills and experience of each director and the combined capabilities of the Board. Where an existing or projected competency gap is identified, the Board will address those gaps. The Board does not currently consider that there are any existing or projected competency gaps. Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

17 Corporate Governance Independent Professional Advice and Access to Company Information Each Director has the right of access to all relevant Company information and to the Company s executives and, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman, may seek independent professional advice at the Company s expense. A copy of advice received by the Director is made available to all other members of the Board. Nomination Committee / Appointment of New Directors Because of the size of the Company and the size of the Board, the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to establish a separate Nomination Committee. The Board has taken a view that the full Board will hold special meetings or sessions as required. The Board are confident that this process for selection and review is stringent and full details of all Directors are provided to shareholders in the annual report and on the web. The composition of the Board is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure the Board has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience. Where a vacancy exists, through whatever cause, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from the services of a new director with particular skills, the Board determines the selection criteria for the position based on the skills deemed necessary for the Board to best carry out its responsibilities and then appoints the most suitable candidate who must stand for election at the next general meeting of shareholders. All new nonexecutive directors are required to sign a letter of appointment which sets out the key terms and conditions of their appointment, including roles and responsibilities, time commitments and remuneration. Executive directors and other senior executives enter into an employment agreement which governs the terms of their appointment. The Board undertakes appropriate checks prior to nominating a director for election by shareholders. These checks include police and reference checks. Shareholders are provided with all material information in its possession concerning a director standing for election or reelection in the relevant notice of meeting. An informal induction is provided to all new directors, which includes meeting with technical and financial personnel to understand the Company s business, including strategies, risks, company policies and health and safety. All directors are required to maintain professional development necessary to maintain their skills and knowledge needed to perform their duties. In addition to training provided by relevant professional affiliations of the directors, additional development is provided through attendance at seminars and provision of technical papers on industry related matters and developments offered by various professional organisations, such as accounting firms and legal advisors. Term of Office Under the Company's Constitution, the minimum number of Directors is three. At each Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must resign, with Directors resigning by rotation based on the date of their appointment. Directors resigning by rotation may offer themselves for reelection. Performance of Directors and Managing Director The performance of all Directors, the Board as a whole and the Managing Director and Company Secretary are reviewed annually. The Board meets once a year with the specific purpose of conducting a review of its composition and performance. This review includes: Determining the appropriate balance of skills and experience required to suit the Company s current and future strategies; Comparing the requirements above against the skills and experience of current Directors and executives; Assessing the independence of each Director; Measuring the contribution and performance of each Director; Assessing any education requirements or opportunities; and Recommending any changes to Board procedures, Committees or the Board composition. A review was undertaken during the year ended 30 June Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

18 Corporate Governance The Company currently has no senior executives and therefore no performance evaluation was undertaken during the year by the Board. Conflict of Interest In accordance with the Corporations Act and the Company s Constitution, Directors must keep the Board advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the Company. Where the Board believes a significant conflict exists, the Director concerned does not receive the relevant Board papers and is not present at the Board meeting whilst the item is considered. Diversity The Company is committed to workplace diversity and has established a Diversity Policy. Diversity includes, but is not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. The Diversity Policy defines the initiatives which assist Zamanco with maintaining and improving the diversity of its workforce. A copy of the Diversity Policy can be found at the corporate governance information section of the Company website at In accordance with this policy and ASX Corporate Governance Principles, the Board has established the following objectives in relation to gender diversity. The aim is to achieve these objectives once the Company has completed a transaction to become its main business undertaking. Proportion of Women Actual Objective Organisation as a whole 25% 40% Executive Management Team Nil 25% Board Nil 25% Remuneration The Company s practice is to remunerate fairly and responsibly and part of the remuneration is to be incentive based as considered appropriate by the Board. The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and executives. To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework: provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives; link executive rewards to shareholder value; and establish appropriate performance hurdles in relation to variable executive remuneration. A full discussion of the Company s remuneration philosophy and framework and the remuneration received by Directors in the current year is included in the remuneration report, which is contained within the Report of the Directors. There are no schemes for retirement benefits for Nonexecutive directors, other than superannuation. Board Remuneration Committee Due to the limited size of the Company and of its operations and financial affairs, the use of a separate remuneration committee is not considered efficient. The Board has taken a view that the full Board will hold special meetings or sessions as required.

19 Corporate Governance Risk Oversight and Management The Board determines the Company s risk profile and is responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems. In summary, the Company policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputation and financial risks are identified, assessed, effectively and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Company s business objectives. The Company s Risk Register identifies the material risks for the Company. These risks include the inability to identify and progress a transaction of merit to become the Company s main undertaking and the failure to raise future capital. The Risk Register records all current controls in place to minimise the risks, and identifies the overall control effectiveness. The Board review the Risk Register on a regular basis. The Board reviewed the Risk Management Framework, including the policies, procedures and the Company s Risk Register in June A summary of the risk management procedures can be found in the corporate governance information section of the Company website at Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. The Board actively promotes a culture of quality and integrity. Control procedures cover management accounting, financial reporting, compliance and other risk management issues. No internal audit function is currently in place due to the size of the Company, however the Board on an ongoing basis assesses the need for an internal audit function. The Board encourages management accountability for the Company s financial reports by ensuring ongoing financial reporting during the year to the Board. Annually, the Company Secretary (who is responsible for preparing the financial reports) and the CEO (or equivalent) are required to state in writing to the Board that in all material respects: Declaration required under s295a of the Corporations Act 2001 the financial records of the Group for the financial year have been properly maintained; the financial statements and notes comply with the accounting standards; the financial statements and notes for the financial year give a true and fair view; and any other matters that are prescribed by the Corporations Act regulations as they relate to the financial statements and notes for the financial year are satisfied. Additional declaration required as part of corporate governance the risk management and internal compliance and control systems in relation to financial risks are sound, appropriate and operating efficiently and effectively. These declarations were received for the June 2015 financial year. Audit Committee Due to the limited size of the Company and of its operations and financial affairs, the use of a separate audit committee is not considered appropriate. The Board assures integrity of the financial statements by: (a) reviewing the Company's statutory financial statements to ensure the reliability of the financial information presented and compliance with current laws, relevant regulations and accounting standards; (b) monitoring compliance of the accounting records and procedures, in conjunction with the Company s auditor, on matters overseen by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, ASX and Australian Taxation Office; (c) ensuring that management reporting procedures, and the system of internal control, are of a sufficient standard to provide timely, accurate and relevant information as a sound basis for management of the Group s business; Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

Code of Conduct The Company has developed a Code of Conduct (the Code) which has been fully endorsed by the Board and applies to all Directors and employees. The Code is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company s integrity. In summary, the Code requires that at all times all Company personnel act with the utmost integrity, objectivity and in compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and Company policies. Share Trading Policy The Board has adopted a specific policy in relation to Directors and officers, employees and other potential insiders buying and selling shares. Directors, officers, consultants, management and other employees are prohibited from trading in the Company s shares, options and other securities if they are in possession of pricesensitive information. Under the Company's Security Trading Policy personnel must receive written approval prior to any dealing in Zamanco s securities. The Directors are satisfied that the Company has complied with its policies on ethical standards, including trading in securities. Market Disclosure Policies The Board has a Market Disclosure Policy to ensure the compliance of the Company with the various laws and ASX Listing Rule obligations in relation to disclosure of information to the market.

27 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (i) Basis of Accounting These general purpose financial statements for year ended 30 June 2015 have been prepared in accordance with Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical costs convention with the exception of investments which have been measured at fair value. Zamanco Minerals Limited is a forprofit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The functional currency and presentation currency of Zamanco Minerals Limited is Australian dollars. The financial report of Zamanco Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of Directors on 2 September (ii) Statement of Compliance This financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). (iii) Adoption of New and Revised Standards The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting year beginning 1 July None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2015 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current year or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2015 reporting year. The Group s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations that may have an impact on the Group are set out below: AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2018) AASB 9 amends the requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2018, and the Group does not believe this will have a material impact on the financial statements. (iv) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments Significant accounting judgments In the process of applying the Group s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Exploration assets The Group s accounting policy for exploration expenditure is set out at Note 1(v). The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under the policy, it is concluded that the expenditures are unlikely to be recovered by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the profit or loss. Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

28 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued Significant accounting estimates and assumptions The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting year are: Impairment of assets In determining the recoverable amount of assets, in the absence of quoted market prices, estimations are made regarding the present value of future cash flows using assetspecific discount rates and the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Valueinuse calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. Commitments Exploration The Group has certain minimum exploration commitments to maintain its right of tenure to exploration permits. These commitments require estimates of the cost to perform exploration work required under these permits. (v) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Zamanco Minerals Limited ( the Company ), and its subsidiaries ( the Group or Group ). The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. A list of controlled entities is contained in note 15 to the financial statements. Where an entity has been acquired during the year, its results are included in consolidated results from the date control commenced. Unrealised gains and losses and interentity balances resulting from transactions with or between controlled entities are eliminated in full on consolidation. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and shortterm deposits in the statements of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and shortterm deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

29 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (v) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Zamanco Minerals Limited s functional and presentation currency. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges, or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Translation differences on financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on nonmonetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on nonmonetary financial assets, such as equities classified as availableforsale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity. Group companies The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position; income and expenses per the profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders' equity. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate. Trade and other receivables Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less allowance for doubtful debts. Current receivables for GST are due for settlement within 30 days and other current receivables within 12 months. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

30 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (v) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued Jointly controlled interests The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of a joint interest activity have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings. Details of the joint operations are set out in Note 16. Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment, including motor vehicles, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. Depreciation is calculated on a reducing balance basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over its expected useful life, being 2.5 to 5 years. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditure is charged against profit and loss as incurred; except for acquisition costs and for expenditure incurred after a decision to proceed to development is made, in which case the expenditure will be capitalised as an asset. Restoration costs expected to be incurred are provided for as part of exploration, evaluation, development or production phases that give rise to the need for restoration. Impairment of assets At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cashgenerating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cashgenerating unit is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

31 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (v) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued Restoration, rehabilitation, and environmental costs The group recognises any legal restoration obligation as a liability at the time a legal liability exists. The carrying amount of the long lived assets to which the legal obligation relates is increased by the restoration obligation costs and amortised over the producing life of the asset. Investments and other financial assets Noncurrent investments in subsidiaries are carried at their cost of acquisition in the Company s statement of financial position. An impairment for investment is made where the Company has assessed the investment as not recoverable. Investments in listed entities are categorised as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Designation is reevaluated at each reporting date, but there are restrictions on reclassifying to other categories. When these financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value. At each reporting date, gains or losses on these financial assets are recognised in profit or loss. Trade and other payables Trade payables and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the profit or loss net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pretax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

32 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (v) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued Issued capital Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) or Value Added Tax (VAT) payable to the taxation authority. Exchanges of goods or services of the same nature and value without any cash consideration are not recognised as revenues. Interest revenue Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset. Income tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences in the statement of financial position between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except where the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

33 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (v) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued Other taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST or VAT, except where the amount of GST or VAT incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST or VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense as applicable. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST or VAT included. The net amount of GST or VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in Statements of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST or VAT components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities that are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST or VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for: costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and other nondiscretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the year that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SCHEME AND OTHER SHAREBASED PAYMENTS (a) Employee Incentive Scheme An employee incentive scheme has been established where Zamanco Minerals Limited may, at the discretion of management, grant options over the ordinary shares in Zamanco Minerals Limited to employees of the group. The options are granted at the discretion of the Directors, who may take into account skills, experience, length of service with the Company or an Associated Body Corporate, remuneration level and such other criteria as the Directors consider appropriate in the circumstances. Options issued pursuant to the Scheme are issued free of charge. The exercise price and expiry date of the options, and the date(s) on which the options may be exercised, is determined by the Directors, provided the exercise price shall not be less than the weighted average market price for shares (calculated as the average sale price for Zamanco shares on ASX over the last 5 business days on which sales of shares were recorded on ASX) immediately preceding the date on which the Directors resolve to grant the said options. The options cannot be transferred and will not be quoted on ASX. There are currently no employees eligible and therefore no options have been issued to date under the Scheme. As at 30 June 2015, no options have been granted under this scheme (2014: nil). (b) Other Share Based Payments There were no other share based payments made during the year ended 30 June 2015 (2014: nil). Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

42 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 15. SEGMENT INFORMATION Management has determined that the Group has one reportable segment, being mineral exploration in one geographical location Zambia. As the Group is focused on mineral exploration, the Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred by area of interest. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the Group and its ongoing exploration activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND INSTRUMENTS The Group s principal financial instruments comprise cash and shortterm deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide working capital for the Group s operations. The Group has various other financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the year under review, the Group s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. Liquidity Risk The Group has no significant exposure to liquidity risk as there is effectively no debt. Trade payables are all expected to be paid within 30 days. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring immediate and forecast cash requirements and ensuring adequate cash reserves are maintained. Commodity Price Risk The Group s exposure to price risk is minimal given the Group is still in an exploration phase. Interest Rate Risk At reporting date the Group s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group s shortterm cash deposits. The Group constantly analyses its exposure to interest rates, with consideration given to potential renewal of existing positions, the mix of fixed and variable interest rates and the period to which deposits may be fixed. Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

45 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND INSTRUMENTS continued At reporting date, the Group had the following financial assets exposed to variable interest rates that are not designated in cash flow hedges: Consolidated $ $ Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents (interestbearing accounts) 3,155,182 3,367,634 Net exposure 3,155,182 3,367,634 The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date for variable interest bearing accounts. The 0.5% sensitivity is based on reasonably possible changes, over a financial year, using an observed range of historical LIBOR movements over the last 3 years. At 30 June 2015, if interest rates had moved on variable interest bearing accounts, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity relating to financial assets of the Group would have been affected as follows: Consolidated 2015 $ Judgements of reasonably possible movements: Post tax profit higher / (lower) + 0.5% 15,296 15, % (15,296) (15,616) Equity higher / (lower) + 0.5% 15,296 15, % (15,296) (15,616) The sensitivity in 2015 is lower than in 2014, due to a lower average cash balance during the year. The Company does not expect interest rates to increase in the next year. Credit Risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group measures credit risk on a fair value basis. The Company has a credit risk in relation to its cash at bank, shortterm deposits and receivables. However, this risk is minimised as the cash is deposited only with AA or greater (Moodys) rated financial institutions. The Group does not have any other significant credit risk exposure to a single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Impairment losses are recorded against receivables unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible; at that point the amount is considered irrecoverable and is written off against the financial asset directly. Management believes the reporting date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in financial instruments $ Zamanco Minerals Annual Report

46 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND INSTRUMENTS continued Foreign Exchange Risk The Group is exposed to currency risk on investments and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group entities, primarily the Australian dollar (AUD), US dollar (USD) and Zambian Kwacha (ZMW). The Group s investments in its subsidiaries are not hedged as those currency positions are considered to be long term in nature. At 30 June 2015, any movement in exchange rates would not have a material effect on post tax profit and equity for the Group (2014: no material effect on post tax profit and equity for the Group). The exposure to foreign currency risk above is recognised in equity under the foreign currency translation as part of the net investment in foreign operations and these amounts would be recognised in profit or loss upon disposal of the foreign operations. 18.
