Significant Changes in State of Affairs On the 6 September 2013 Mr Keith Coughlan was appointed as managing director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. During the period Mr Colin Ikin s role changed from Executive Chairman to Non-Executive Director. On the 27 September 2013 the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Company s listed investment in Pacific Wildcat Resources for the original cost of the investment, $473,495 AUD. Equamineral entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital in European Metals (UK) Limited, holder of the Cinovec Tin Project and the Zlaty Kopec polymetallic tin-zinc-indium project in Czech Republic. The projects are 100% owned by the local subsidiary of European Metals (UK). Czech Republic is ideally located at the centre of the European Union. It shares one of its borders with Germany which alone represents one third of its exports. The tax and mining environment is investor friendly. The mining code is well established and the excellent infrastructure, electricity and communication networks create a sound environment for mining activities. Politically stable and with a high income economy, the Czech Republic is also a Member of the European Union Cinovec Tin Project Cinovec license covers Ha in the north of Czech Republic, at the border with Germany. It has been mined and processed intermittently in the past with a history dating to the 17 th century. In the 1970s and 1980s more than 21,500 meters of development tunnels were driven and 846 diamond drill holes completed representing in excess of 83,000m of drilling and over the last few years. In terms of metallurgy, good recoveries were achieved through relatively coarse grinding and simple gravity concentration. Associated projects Zlaty Kopec license is 75km southwest of Cinovec and covers 598 Ha. Previous exploration led to small scale historical mining which produced tin at grades in excess of 1%. From 1959 until 1973, 76 surface and underground diamond drill holes 12,000 m were completed, identifying two potentially extendable zones of mineralisation: the main zone (2sq km, 3m thick) and the Hugo zone. From 1959 until 1973, 76 surface and underground diamond drill holes 12,000 m were completed, identifying two potentially extendable zones of mineralisation: the main zone (2sq km, 3m thick) and the Hugo zone. 3

11 CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013 NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION Statement of compliance The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report. Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except where applicable for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. 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 2013 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2013, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards. (a) New and Revised Accounting Requirements Applicable to the Current Half-year Reporting Period The following new and revised Australian Accounting Standards together with consequential amendments to other Standards became mandatory applicable from 1 January AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements; - AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011); - AASB 11: Joint Arrangement - AASB 128: Investment in Associates and Joint Venture (August 2011) - AASB 12: Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities - AASB : Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangement Standards; and - AASB : Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Transition Guidance and Other Amendments. - AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB : Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB AASB 119: Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB : Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011). The standards referred to above that effect the Group s accounting policy are AASB 10 and AASB 13. The effect of initial application of these standards in the current half year reporting period are as follows. AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB : Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 become applicable to the Company for the first time in the current half-year reporting period 1 July 2013 to 31 December The Company has applied this Accounting Standard retrospectively in accordance with AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and the specific transition requirements in AASB 10. The effects of initial application of this Standard in the current halfyear reporting period is as follow; 10

12 CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013 NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION - Continued The Company measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. AASB 10 provides a revised definition of control and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees. Revised AASB 127 facilitates the application of AASB 10 and prescribes requirements for separate financial statements of the parent entity. On adoption of AASB 10, the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests related to investments in businesses that are now assessed as being controlled by the Group, and were therefore not previously consolidated, are measured as if the investee had been consolidated (and therefore applied acquisition accounting in accordance with AASB 3: Business Combinations) from the date when the Group obtained control of that investee on the basis of the requirements in AASB 10. Upon the initial application of AASB 10, retrospective restatement of financial statement amounts of the year that immediately precedes the date of initial application (ie ) is necessary. When control is considered to have been obtained earlier than the beginning of the immediately preceding year (ie pre-1 July 2012), any difference between the amount of assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests recognised and the previous carrying amount of the investment in that investee is recognised as an adjustment to equity as at 1 July Although the first-time application of AASB 10 (together with the associated Standards) caused certain changes to the Group's accounting policy for consolidation and determining control, it did not result in any changes to the amounts reported in the Group's financial statements as the "controlled" status of the existing subsidiaries did not change, nor did it result in any new subsidiaries being included in the Group as a consequence of the revised definition. NOTE 2: OPERATING SEGMENTS The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments are in accordance with the measurement principles of Australian Accounting Standards. The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are provided to the Board of Directors. According to AASB 8 Operating Segments, two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are similar in each of the following respects: The nature of the products and services; The nature of the production processes; The type or class of customer for their products and services; The methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and If applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment, for example; banking, insurance and public utilities. The Group currently has one project which takes into account each of the above mentioned aspects. The principal activity for the project is exploration of iron ore. The project is likely to have the same methods to distribute the resources in future and the nature of the regulatory environment which is the Republic of Congo. This is expected to be the same for future projects. Accordingly, management has identified one operating segment based on the location of the projects, that being the Republic of Congo. 11
