Chairman’s Report
Dear Shareholder, 2012 has been a good year for Zamanco Minerals Limited (previously Atticus Resources Limited) (Zamanco or the Company). The acquisition of Zamanco Holdings Limited (ZHL), that was approved at the Annual General Meeting held on 16 December 2011, has provided the Company with an outstanding opportunity to create substantial shareholder value in future years. Founding directors of the Company sought and found in ZHL an acquisition that provided quality people, a strategic commodity mix in favourable locations, a near term business case and scalability. It is with pleasure that we welcomed Jacques Badenhorst and Thomas Hill to the board as Managing Director and Executive Director following completion of the acquisition. Their experience and skill provides the valuable manpower resource required for Zamanco to implement its business plan. The vision of the Company is to become a mid‐cap resources entity through the staged development of ferro‐alloys projects in southern Africa. Zambia is the current focus where the strategy is to develop a 60,000tpa high‐carbon ferromanganese and 12,000tpa manganese metal operation near Serenje in the country’s North East. Zamanco has agreements covering six tenement areas in known manganese regions of Zambia and is accelerating exploration to define sufficient JORC resources to ensure viability of the proposed project. Detailed studies conducted by the Company and ZHL with the support of various consultancies supports a focus of downstream processing due to attractive margins, quality of feedstock, distance to port and fiscal terms that favour beneficiation. Zambia is an attractive country in which to operate. It is democratic and has been politically stable since attaining independence in 1964. Banking, financial, legal and insurance services are of an international standard. Current population is approximately 13.5 million with English widely spoken and a high literacy rate. The country has established road and rail access to African ports. Real GDP growth year on year has ranged from 6.1% to 7.1% for the past three years. The directors look forward to 2013 during which the Company should substantially enhance its objective of creating value for shareholders. On behalf of the board I thank you for your continuing support.
Yours Sincerely Geoff Donohue Chairman

Review of Operations
SERENJE MANGANESE PROJECT ‐ INTRODUCTION As noted above, during the year, the Company completed the acquisition of Zamanco Holdings Limited and is now focussed on the development of a ferromanganese and manganese operation at Serenje in Zambia.
The Serenje Manganese Project has developed from an initial concept of developing a downstream manganese production project to the current position where the Company is about to commence a Bankable Feasibility Study on the project.
In some ways, the evolution of the Serenje Manganese Project has been counterintuitive. Instead of commencing with initial exploration, resource drilling, development studies and project commitment, the Serenje Project commenced with the development studies.
Zamanco’s management, utilising their significant experience in constructing and operating processing plants in southern Africa, sought out locations that would were manganese rich, had sufficient power available and had fiscal structures that favoured downstream processing. Zambia fit this model and was chosen as the area to focus on.
Once Zambia was settled upon, discussions commenced with the local authorities and chiefs with regards to securing a suitable location for the construction of a processing plant as well as with power providers in Zambia. A site near Serenje was identified as being central to the manganese fields of Zambia, close to rail and road and close to the Pensulo sub‐station for power. At this time, an MoU was entered into with Zesco for the provision of 33MVA of power for the site.
The supply of ore for the proposed plant has been proposed to be sourced from Zamanco resources as well as from local producers that are unable to transport or sell their product. In this regard, the Company has commenced exploration activities on six joint venture projects in Zambia with a plan to define sufficient resources to support the project. Exploration is expected to significantly increase in the second half of 2012, with geophysics and drilling planned.
In parallel with the exploration programme, the Company is continuing with the development studies, with an Options Analysis commissioned to assess the various flow routes available and the economic potential of the production of different manganese alloys. The results of this study will be incorporated into the Bankable Feasibility Study, which will also commence in the second half of 2012.
ZAMBIAN MANGANESE PROJECTS Tenement Transfers
On 30 March 2012, the Zambian Government of President Michael Sata announced that it would phase out a suspension on the renewal, issue and transfer of mine licences imposed in October 2011 following its election to office.
Minister of Mines, Energy and Water Development, Christopher Yaluma, said “the issuance of all non‐mining rights such as prospecting would resume with immediate effect as well as those for small‐scale and artisanal mining. Issuance of new permits for larger mining operations and mineral processing would remain under suspension until June 2012”.
The Company has entered into several Joint Ventures in the Mansa, Milenge, Kabwe, Mkushi and Chinsali areas covering a number of Large Scale Prospecting Licences, all but one of which were affected by the suspension. The lifting of the suspension will enable the transfer of those Prospecting Licences to newly formed JV companies and exploration to commence.

Zamanco Minerals Annual Report 2012 7
Review of Operations
Due to the unknown timing of the convening of the Committee to approve the transfers, Zamanco has received legal advice to adopt the following additional forms of engagement with original tenement license holders whilst awaiting the approval from the Committee on transfer of licenses:
Enter into Exploration and Mining Access agreements with original license holders where the interest or shareholding is not affected and where the relevant Director in the Ministry can provide consent to such agreement; and
Register a Security Interest over the relevant licenses. The above can be completed in a relatively short timeframe which will allow Zamanco to progress exploration and resource estimation programs in a more timely manner.
ZAMBIA EXPLORATION
The Company has commenced exploration on its tenements with the aim being discovery and delineation of manganese resources suitable for the Company’s proposed ferromanganese and manganese metal development project. Exploration has initially been focused on the Jack Stuart Prospecting Permit in the Mkushi region until access is available to the Company’s other tenements in the other regions. The Company has appointed Minrom Consulting, a geological consultancy specialising in manganese, to undertake an initial exploration program focusing on the following:
Geochemical sampling and accurate measuring of manganese occurrences in trenches and surface outcrops associated with the JV tenement license areas;
Investigation and implementation of a suitable geophysical survey based on ground truthing and geological analysis;
Investigation of regional occurrences of manganese deposits in and around Mkushi to target future exploration activities;
Investigation of new occurrences of manganese deposits along the Dar‐es Salaam road which encompasses Kabwe, Mkushi, Serenje and Chinsali. This investigation forms part of the Company’s strategy to expand the possible resource/tenement base; and
Confirmation of manganese occurrences on existing JV tenement license areas and formulation of a detailed exploration program.
An initial assessment has been made by Minrom on Zamanco’s tenements. This assessment looked at the regional geology, geological controls and mineralisation types, manganese outcrops and access. Based on this assessment, the tenements were prioritised based on resource potential and access. Three tenements were identified as having sufficient information to estimate an Exploration Target for the properties.

Review of Operations
Jack Stuart Prospecting Permit, Zambia (15836‐HQ‐SPP) (Zamanco earning 49%) During April 2012, a more comprehensive investigation was launched into the prospecting permit area, which involved a more representative sampling campaign that entailed trench and pit sampling. The manganese bearing horizons were also traversed along strike in an attempt to deduce the lateral extent of manganese mineralisation.
The local geology is dominated by a large SW trending quartzitic to meta‐quartzitic hill forming part of the Kalonga Formation. The hill runs parallel and immediately adjacent to the observed manganese outcrops. A zone of conglomerates separates the meta‐quartzite outcrops and manganese outcrops suggesting a fault controlled mechanism for manganese concentration in the area. The hill was traced for some kilometres towards the south‐west before flattening out and not outcropping anymore.
Figure 2: Map showing the location of concession 15836‐HQ‐SPP.
A total of 20 samples were collected consisting of four test pit samples and 16 channel samples collected from three trenches observed to contain manganese mineralisation. The trenches were first painstakingly cleaned in order to expose manganese horizons in the sidewalls.
As surface samples are most often enriched as a result of supergene processes through weathering, channel samples were collected over intervals of 0.5m down dip. Channel samples serve to establish a more representative internal grade for the manganese bearing horizons in the concession as these samples consider the grade with depth down dip.

Figure 3: Example of sampling a manganese vein in trench T4, note the outline of the manganese vein indicated in black, true thickness of the vein and sampling interval indicated in red. Only half the vein is in the picture and it extends another 3m towards the bottom right of the photo.
The overall manganese grade of samples collected at 15836‐HQ‐SPL from the different pits and trenches is 28.15% manganese. The iron content is relatively low at 4.86% Fe but the silica content is very high at 29.35% SiO2. Samples from trench T5 on visual inspection showed high concentrations of silica and if removed from the table yields averages of 29.56% manganese, 5.07% Fe and 26.14% SiO2, somewhat more encouraging. The ore is also of low density with specific gravity, being lower than 2.5.
It should, however, not be ignored that multiple manganese occurrences are situated in the northeast to southwest trending Irumide belt. Some of these occurrences such as the Chiwefwe deposit contain considerable amounts of manganese and in the past the mine produced some 80k tonnes with an average of 45% manganese. The manganese at Chiwefwe also consists of polymorph and boxwork type manganese and appears to be situated on a contact zone between two lithologies in the Muva Supergroup.
Although the manganese bulk grade is quite low in relation to Zamanco’s expectations and in comparison to other manganese occurrences in the area, the area does warrant further exploration through mapping of surrounding lithologies to understand structural imprints and major structural domains as well as deploying airborne magnetometer and gravimeter to explore for additional mineralisation in the surrounding area and along strike.
An Exploration Target of 0.6‐0.8Mt at 27‐33% Mn has been developed for this project.
Note: The Exploration Targets have been developed based on surface and trenching exploration only at this stage. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

EML Kabwe Small Scale Mining License, Zambia (7713‐HQ‐SML), Subject to Due Diligence (Zamanco earning 49%) A short field investigation was conducted over a partially mined area situated between Kabwe and Kapiri Mposhi (Figure 4). The mine, known as the Lubembe mine, is located in 7713‐HQ‐SML and was observed to possess a rough dimension of 120m by 40m by 12m deep. It could not be established what the extent of the proposed large manganese rich vein and rubble ore was originally, as the pit is currently partially filled with water. From what was observed in the area, the local geology is for the most part covered with thick deeply weathered soils often containing pronounced amounts of manganese bearing laterites (Figure 5).

The investigation included the actual pit left as a result of previous mining and the surrounding mine dump (Figure 6).
Figure 6: Photo looking north, illustrating the size and amount of material removed from the Lubembe mine. Four grab samples were collected at approximately equally spaced intervals along the suggested extension of the manganese mineralisation (Figure 4 and Table 2). Grab samples were collected from the laterite overburden L6 (Figure 5), from the more solid manganese clasts, LS4 and from the friable wad type ore LS2 and LS3. Selective sampling was not necessary as the whole area displayed very promising manganese mineralisation. All material collected for assaying contained, upon visual inspection, high quantities of manganese. The overall grade of the recovered material from the mine dump, upon visual inspection, was inferred to contain an overall grade of approximately 40‐50% manganese, this was confirmed by assay results of grab samples, which indicates an average grade of 50.47% manganese (Table 2).

The deposit represents a vein type manganese deposit with manganese mineralisation being concentrated by localised trap sites such as faults. The deposit is situated in relative close proximity to the ENE‐WSW trending Irumide belt (Figure 7). This belt represents a zone of increased orogenic activity, which in turn resulted in the formation of a complex system of faults. It is believed that these faults served as trap sites by forming relatively low lying areas where manganese rich fluids could concentrate and subsequently precipitate first as surface nodules and then as concentrated manganese veins in faults. Lateral extension of the vein could not be established despite the fact that artisanal miners constructed deep trenches, some up to 4m deep, to the south of the vein, across what appears to be its logical extension. The laterites did however display very high manganese concentrations (Table 2 L6). There were extensions of the laterite deposits towards the south of the mining area exposed by the previously mentioned trenches and these will be followed up to look for offsets of the vein system. Upon successful due diligence completion, Zamanco intends to deploy a magnetometer to explore for additional mineralisation in the surrounding area along the inferred strike of the manganese bearing reef followed by trenching of suspected manganese occurrence indicated by geophysical surveys and follow up with drilling programme to determine exact depth and extent of the potential deposit.
The extent of the laterites containing high concentrations of manganese will also form part of the further exploration program. An Exploration Target of 0.5‐1.0Mt at 42‐47% Mn has been developed for this property.
Note: The Exploration Targets have been developed based on surface and trenching exploration only at this stage. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Sunday Sinyangwe’s Chinsali Prospecting Permit, Zambia (13487‐HQ‐SPP) (Zamanco earning 49%)
The project area is located approximately 70km south of the town of Chinsali and some 115km SW of Isoka in north‐eastern Zambia. This deposit is a stratiform deposit, nearly continuous in strike and outcropping on surface. Nearly all manganese outcrops encountered fall within small scale prospecting permit 13487‐HQ‐SPP.
The study of the area involved identifying all occurrences of manganese mineralisation in the area and characterising the aforementioned. Multiple manganese occurrences were identified in the area and GPS tracks were utilised to determine the surface extent of the manganese outcrops (Figure 8). Nearly 4.5km was traversed with intermittent manganese outcrops encountered along the entire length of the traverse.
Nearly all of the laterally extensive outcrops contain some level of manganese mineralisation. The mineralisation is however not uniform throughout the whole extent of the outcrop and shows quite pronounced lateral variation (Compare Figure 9 and Figure 10). There appears to be “pockets” within the manganese hosting tuff, which contains more pronounced manganese mineralisation. The manganese hosting tuff dips at near vertical angles towards the south‐east and south‐southeast and extends for a minimum of approximately 4.5km along the surface with thicknesses ranging from 20m‐30m.
Nine (9) grab samples were collected, spaced as equally along the lateral extent of the outcrop as possible with the majority of the sampling being taken indiscriminately in order to determine the indicative bulk grade as well as the indicative grade of areas with increased manganese mineralisation within the manganese bearing horizon.
Figure 8: Geological map of the area investigated, note the manganese occurrences conform nearly perfectly to the contact of the tuffaceous metavolcanics and metapelites.

Figure 10: Manganese mineralisation in the Chinsali area showing lower overall bulk grade manganese compared to Figure 9.
The average grade of grab samples are 18.18% manganese. It should, however, be noted that these samples were collected along the entire length of the outcrop and that certain zones of the manganese horizon contains elevated grades of manganese. This gives an indication of the overall bulk grade and possible ore recovery that could be expected from the Chinsali / Mutembula area.

Samples C1, C13 and C16 (Table 3) were sampled in areas which upon visual inspection showed good manganese mineralisation (Figure 9). The manganese segregation is extremely intricate and mineralisation consists of thin manganese “sheet” hosted in fractures in the tuffacous horizon. Despite this, sample material for C13 was selectively sampled in an attempt to only include manganese rich material. It could therefore be assumed that this sample represent the overall grade after “partial” beneficiation of the manganese bearing tuffaceous beds.
Mining activities in the area consist of sparse artisanal mining mostly removing surface nodules. Literature suggests that mineralisation appears to be concentrated along fractures and therefore any fracture or shear zone should be considered a potential target zone requiring additional geological investigation.
The partial beneficiation through selective sampling as indicated by the analysis of C1, C13 and C16 (Table 3) suggests that through employing latest beneficiation and concentration techniques, ore could be upgraded to acceptable levels that could be utilised as a source for the proposed Zamanco smelter project. This could be as a primary feed source or as a source of “higher iron (Fe)” contained ore to blend with “high grade Mn, low iron (Fe)” ores from Kabwe and Mansa.
Zamanco believes that this area requires further geological investigation through the use of geophysical studies that could identify anomalies which most probably represent areas of increased manganese mineralisation. The anomalies will then be drilled in order to establish the validity of the exploration method and if mineralisation increases with depth.
It is believed that the lateral extent of the deposits could be considerably larger as indicated by a geological map produced in 1982 (Figure 7). From this geological map, it could be inferred that tuffaceous horizons and associated manganese mineralisation extends for another 3km on both sides of the recent lateral traverse completed.

Review of Operations
An Exploration Target of 0.7‐1.5Mt at 23‐27% Mn has been developed for this project.
Zamanco intends to enter into a JV agreement on the larger Chinsali area that encompasses the prospecting permit for the obvious reasons as stated above.
Note: The Exploration Targets have been developed based on surface and trenching exploration only at this stage. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
Mkushi Permit, Zambia (13465‐HQ‐LPL) (Zamanco earning 80%) The Mkushi Permit is a large scale prospecting license which overlaps the Jack Stuart prospecting permit. This permit, expired in April 2012 and a renewal application (17585‐HQ‐LPL) for this permit is being processed, in the name of a subsidiary company of Zamanco, of which Zamanco has an 80% interest. The permit covers an area of 680 hectares in size with the Jack Stuart Prospecting Permit (15836‐HQ‐SPP) covering 347 hectares within this permit area. Exploration is expected to commence once the renewal of the permit has been processed. Mansa Permit, Zambia (15817‐HQ‐LPL) (Zamanco earning 80%) The Mansa Permit is situated between the towns of Mansa and Milenge in the Luapula Province of Zambia and covers an area of approximately 1,000km2. Scoping work has been conducted to identify manganese outcrop occurrences. Manganese occurrences identified were visited during April 2012 by Minrom for the purposes of preparation of an exploration program. The transfer of this large scale prospecting license to a subsidiary company of Zamanco is in process. Milenge Permit, Zambia (12897‐HQ‐LPL) (Zamanco earning 80%) The Milenge Permit is situated in close proximity to the town of Milenge in the Luapula Province in Zambia and approximately 170km from the town of Serenje. Further scoping work will be performed in the permit boundaries for the purposes of preparation of an exploration program. This work is planned for the September quarter. Options Analysis
Pyrocon Pty (Ltd) (“Pyrocon”), a South African based pyro‐metallurgical engineering and consulting company, has been commissioned to conduct an Options Analysis for the Company’s proposed Serenje Manganese Project in Zambia. Pyrocon staff has more than 30 years’ experience in the design and engineering of pyrometallurgical smelter plants, AC and DC Arc furnaces and have conducted various feasibility studies on smelter projects for manganese. The scope of work for the Options Analysis includes an independent evaluation of processing alternatives.
Zamanco Minerals Annual Report 2012 19

Options to be evaluated include:
Beneficiation; Calcining; Smelting; and Refining.
The various options are being investigated for different products such as high carbon ferromanganese (“HC FeMn”), silica manganese (“SiMn”), low carbon or medium carbon ferromanganese, low carbon SiMn, manganese metal and/or other products of manganese. The Pyrocon study is expected to be received by the Company during the September quarter. Investment License In April 2012, the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary had been granted a Certificate of Registration (Investment License) pursuant to the Zambian Development Agency Act (“Act”) with regards to the proposed Serenje Manganese Project in Zambia.
The Certificate of Registration is one of several important components in the potential development of the Serenje Manganese Project by Zamanco. The fiscal and non‐fiscal benefits are expected to significantly increase the economic potential of the potential project when compared to other jurisdictions.
In accordance with the Act, should the project proceed, Zamanco’s subsidiary will enjoy the following fiscal and non‐fiscal incentives:
0% tax rate on dividends for 5 years from first year of declaring a dividend; 0% tax on profits for 5 years from the first year profits is made, with only 50% profits being taxable in years 6 to 8, and 75% taxable in years 9 and 10;
0% import duty on raw materials, capital goods, machinery including trucks and specialised motor vehicles for 5 years;
Investment guarantees and protection against state nationalisation; and Free facilitation for application of immigration permits, second licenses, land acquisition and utilities.

Yundamindera Project (Zamanco 30% interest, Brilliant Gold 70% interest, Crest Minerals earning 51%)
The Yundamindera gold project is located in the Eastern Goldfields Province of the Yilgarn Craton, 205 kilometres north‐northeast of Kalgoorlie. The project comprises one granted exploration licence, E39/1110, which is located adjacent to the historic mining centre of Yundamindera. Gold exploration carried out by a number of previous operators and Atticus/Zamanco has identified several areas of coherent gold anomalism (>20ppb Au & >100ppb Au) in near‐surface soil sampling and RAB/aircore drilling.
The following activities were completed during the reporting period.
Aircore drilling has been completed to provide a first pass test of the previously generated geochemical targets within the northern parts of E39/1110.
Aircore Drilling Previous auger soil sampling completed by Atticus/Zamanco has generated a number of >20ppb Au and >30ppb Au gold‐in‐auger soil anomalies that lie along well defined gold anomalous trends in the northern parts of the tenement. These trends have a northeast – southwest strike and may represent important gold‐mineralised litho‐structural corridors in the region. During the period, two of the better gold‐in‐auger soil anomalies within the trends were targeted for first pass drill testing with aircore. A programme total of 30 angled aircore holes was completed across two drill traverses for a total drilling advance of 2,204m. As orientation of possible mineralised systems was not known, close spaced drilling with 25m spaced holes was completed to provide the best possible coverage across the target area. The northern line was angled to the east, while the southern line was angled to the west, as a steeply east‐dipping foliation was noted in some near‐surface, indurated saprolitic material in this area. One additional hole, YAC030, was drilled to the immediate south of the southern line towards the southeast to test a northeast – southwest quartz‐dominated vein array, which was obvious at surface. The best result from this hole was 85ppb Au from the bottom of the hole, indicating some prospectivity. Previous reconnaissance‐style drilling by past explorers indicated that the underlying bedrock is dominated by felsic granitic lithologies. These rocks are weathered below 60m from surface and therefore a leached saprolitic profile was thought likely. Consequently all holes were drilled to saprock, as accumulation of anomalous gold is known to occur at or near this interface with the overlying, totally weathered, material. Sampling was completed via 4m composite samples down the entire hole and gold only analyses were completed using an aqua regia digest‐low level AAS technique (1ppb Au detection limit).
Aircore Results The assay results confirmed the near‐surface gold anomalism highlighted by the auger soil geochemistry and also confirmed the predicted highly leached nature of the underlying saprolite profile. There was virtually no transported cover with the drilling passing directly into an in‐situ weathered granitoid profile. Shearing was evident in a couple of holes, however, apparently of greater importance is a distinctive mafic granitoid unit that is associated with anomalous gold at both of the anomalies tested. As the anomalies are approximately 2km apart, it is not clear at this stage whether this unit is regionally extensive or is just localised at both prospects. The location of the completed drilling is shown in Figure 11, while the better intercepts above 100ppb Au are tabled below. These results confirm that the previously identified auger soil anomalism is associated with anomalous gold in the deeper regolith and that further and more detailed drill testing of the anomalies is warranted.

Tenure Following Zamanco’s decision to focus on its newly acquired Serenje manganese project, located in Zambia, a decision to farm out the Yundamindera Project was made. Prior to the farm‐out, Zamanco and their joint venture partner at Yundamindera, BrilliantGold Pty Ltd (BrilliantGold), formalised the equity earned by Zamanco, which resulted in Zamanco having acquired 30% in the Yundamindera Project, the balance remaining with BrilliantGold. In August 2011, Zamanco and BrilliantGold entered into a “Heads of Agreement” with Crest Minerals Ltd (Crest), whereby Crest can earn 51% equity by spending $200,000 over three years and a further 39% can be acquired by spending an additional $100,000 over a further two year period, resulting in Crest having 90% equity, BrilliantGold; 7% and Zamanco; 3%. On 29 June 2012, Crest listed on ASX and now manages the Yundamindera Project on behalf of the venture partners.

Hartwell Bore Project (Zamanco 100%)
The Hartwell Bore gold project is located in the northern parts of the Eastern Goldfields Province of the Yilgarn Craton, 32 kilometres east‐northeast of Leinster. The single tenement, E36/653, covers an Archaean greenstone sequence at the western margin of the southern Yandal greenstone belt.
The following work was completed during the reporting period.
Further auger soil sampling was completed over the central parts of the tenement, along with some infill sampling of previously identified anomalies.
Auger Soil Geochemical Sampling
Auger soil sampling was completed during the period to infill the existing gold‐in‐auger soil anomalies at the Hartwell Bore South prospect (those above 20ppb Au) and to extend the coverage in to the central part of the project, an area that has attracted the least previous exploration. The infill sampling now provides 100x50m spaced coverage of the Hartwell Bore South anomalies, while 200x50m spaced sampling was completed over the central part of E36/653. All sampling was completed on an MGA‐based grid using a Land Cruiser‐mounted auger rig and where present, the pedogenic carbonate horizon was preferentially sampled. Where this was not available residual soil or an interface sample between transported and in‐situ regolith was collected. The programme total was 783 samples, which were assayed for gold using an aqua regia digest and a low level AAS determination, providing a 1ppb Au detection limit. Analyses were also completed for a base metal suite using an aqua regia digest and a standard AAS finish.
Auger Soil Geochemistry Results
Results are summarised in Figure 12 below and show a continuation of the main Hartwell Bore South gold‐anomalous trend to the north, which now forms two discrete anomalies above 20ppb Au, with central cores above 50ppb Au. Both portions have coincident arsenic anomalism above 50ppm As. The main part of the anomaly in the south has a peak gold value of 361ppb Au and has been largely tested by the historical pre‐Atticus/Zamanco drilling. The northern part of the anomalous trend occurs approximately 500m to the north and is defined by both 100x50m and 200x50m spaced sampling. The peak value is 171ppb Au. The historical drilling has also previously tested this part of the trend, but there is no deep testing with RC.
Tenure
Following a re‐assessment of the Hartwell Bore Project, it was concluded that most of the existing gold‐in‐auger soil anomalies at Hartwell Bore had already been adequately drill tested for major gold‐mineralised systems. Consequently the single tenement, E36/653 was surrendered in July 2012, which will allow exploration funds to be focussed on the Serenje manganese project in Zambia and elsewhere as required.

Report of the Directors
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and executive of Zamanco Minerals Limited. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. For the purposes of this report key management personnel of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company and all key management personnel. Remuneration Committee Due to the limited size of the Group and of its operations and financial affairs, the use of a separate remuneration committee is not considered appropriate. The Board has adopted the following policies for Directors’ and executives’ remuneration. A. Remuneration policy The Board of Directors maintains remuneration policies which are aimed at attracting and retaining a motivated workforce and management team. The intention is to match the outcomes from the remuneration system with the performance of the Company and ultimately the value received by our shareholders on a long‐term basis. As an overall policy, the Group will remunerate in such a way that it: • motivates Directors and management to pursue the long‐term growth and success of the Group; and • demonstrates a clear relationship between key executive performance and remuneration. B. Remuneration structure In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non‐executive Director and executive compensation is separate and distinct. Non‐executive Directors’ Remuneration Non‐executive Directors’ fees are paid within an aggregate limit which is approved by the shareholders from time to time. This limit is currently set at $300,000. Any newly appointed Non‐executive Directors will serve in accordance with a standard service contract, drafted by the Company’s lawyers, which sets out remuneration arrangements. Retirement payments, if any, are agreed to be determined in accordance with the rules set out in the Corporations Act as at the time of the Director’s retirement or termination. Non‐executive Directors may be offered options as part of their remuneration, subject to shareholder approval. Executive Remuneration Senior executives, including Executive Directors, are engaged under the terms of individual employment contracts. Such contracts are based upon standard terms drafted by the Company’s lawyers. Executive Directors do not receive any directors’ fees in addition to their remuneration arrangements. Executive Directors may be offered options as part of their remuneration, subject to shareholder approval. The monetary package is divided between a base salary/consulting fee and, for non‐directors, an incentive portion if considered appropriate. Base salary/consulting fees are set to reflect the market salary for a position and individual of comparable responsibility and experience. Base salary/consulting fees are regularly compared with the external market and during recruitment activities generally. It is the policy of the Company to maintain a competitive salary structure to ensure continued availability of experienced and effective management and staff. There are no executives at this stage. There is no link between the remuneration policy and the Company’s performance. Details of the nature and amount of each element of each Director, including any related company and each of the officers of the Company receiving the highest emoluments are set out in section D of this report.

Geoffrey Donohue Chairman Perth, Western Australia 14 September 2012
Zamanco Minerals Annual Report 2012 34
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 half‐year 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.
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 Report of the Directors. The composition of the Board is determined using the following principles:
Persons nominated as Non‐executive 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 Non‐executive 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 Non‐executive Directors are expected voluntarily to review their membership of the Board from time‐to‐time 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 2012 35
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 Non‐executive 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. 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 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. 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 re‐election.
Zamanco Minerals Annual Report 2012 36
Corporate Governance
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 2012. 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 Effective from 1 July 2011, the Company has established a Diversity Policy in accordance with the updated recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. 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. 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 over the next 2 to 3 years as positions become vacant and appropriately skilled candidates are available: Proportion of Women Actual Objective Organisation as a whole 28.5% 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.
Zamanco Minerals Annual Report 2012 37
Corporate Governance
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 Non‐executive 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. The Board are confident that this process for determining remuneration is stringent and full details of remuneration policies and payments are provided to shareholders in the remuneration report in the Report of the Directors and on the web. Risk Oversight and Management The Board 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. A summary of the risks recognised by the Board can be found in the corporate governance information section of the Company website at www.zamancominerals.com. 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. 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 2012 financial year.
Zamanco Minerals Annual Report 2012 38
Corporate Governance
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. In addition to management’s accountability, 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; and
(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; (d) reviewing audit reports and management letters to ensure prompt action is taken by the Company's management; and (e) When required, nominating the external auditor and at least annually reviewing the external auditor in terms of their
independence and performance in relation to the adequacy of the scope and quality of the annual statutory audit and half‐year review and the fees charged.
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 price‐sensitive 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. The Managing Director is responsible for ensuring that all employees are familiar with and comply with the policy. Zamanco is committed to: (a) ensuring that shareholders and the market are provided with timely and balanced information about its activities; (b) complying with the general and continuous disclosure principles contained in the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations
Act 2001; and (c) ensuring that all market participants have equal opportunities to receive externally available information issued by
Zamanco.

Communication with Shareholders The Company places significant importance on effective communication with shareholders. Information is communicated to shareholders through the distribution of the annual and half yearly financial reports, quarterly reports on activities, announcements through ASX and the media, on the Company’s web site and through the Chairman’s address at the annual general meeting. In addition, news announcements and other information are sent by email to all persons who have requested their name to be added to the email list. If requested, the Company will provide general information by email, facsimile or post. The Company will, wherever practicable, take advantage of new technologies that provide greater opportunities for more effective communications with shareholders.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(i) Basis of Accounting
These general purpose financial statements for year ended 30 June 2012 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. The functional currency and presentation currency of Zamanco Minerals Limited is Australian dollars. (ii) Statement of Compliance
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). (iii) Adoption of New and Revised Standards
The Group has reviewed all of the Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting year ending 30 June 2012. These include the following: AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2013) AASB 9 amends the requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013, and Zamanco has not yet made an assessment of the impact of these amendments. AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (effective from 1 January 2013) This standard will have no impact on Zamanco as the Group has no special purpose entities. AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (effective from 1 January 2013) AASB 11 clarifies the accounting treatments for joint arrangements. There is no material impact for Zamanco. AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (effective from 1 January 2013) AASB 12 is a disclosure standard only which may require additional disclosures for interests in other entities, including joint arrangements. AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective from 1 January 2013) AASB 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value of financial and non‐financial items. Zamanco has not yet made an assessment of the impact of these amendments. AASB 119 Employee Benefits (effective from 1 January 2013) AASB 119 includes amendments to the timing for recognition of liabilities for termination benefits. Zamanco currently calculates its liability for annual leave employee benefits on the basis that it is due to be settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period because employees are entitled to use this leave at any time. The amendments require that such liabilities be calculated on the basis of when the leave is expected to be taken, i.e. expected settlement. Zamanco has not yet made an assessment of the impact of these amendments. AASB 2011‐4 Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (effective from 1 July 2013) AASB 2011‐4 removes the individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosure requirements from AASB 124 to eliminate duplicated information required under the Corporation Act 2001. When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014, the Group will show reduced disclosures under the Key Management Personnel note to the financial statements.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES ‐ continued (iii) Adoption of New and Revised Standards ‐ continued AASB 2011‐9 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (effective from 1 July 2012) When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2013, there will be no impact on amounts recognised for transactions and balances for 30 June 2013 (and comparatives). However, the statement of comprehensive income will include name changes and include subtotals for items. Impact is disclosure only. None of the other amendments or interpretations are expected to affect the accounting policies of Zamanco. (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. 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: (i) 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 asset‐specific discount rates and the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value‐in‐use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. (ii) 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 16 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 inter‐entity balances resulting from transactions with or between controlled entities are eliminated in full on consolidation.

(v) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ‐ continued
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short‐term deposits in the statements of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short‐term 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. Foreign currency translation
(i) 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.
(ii) 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 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 non‐monetary 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 non‐monetary financial assets, such as equities classified as available‐for‐sale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity.
(iii) 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.

(v) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ‐ continued
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. Share‐based payment transactions
The Group may provide benefits to employees (including directors) and consultants of the Group in the form of share‐based payment transactions, whereby services are rendered in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity‐settled transactions’). The cost of these equity‐settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. Share‐based payments – options with an exercise price The fair value of these payments is determined using a Black‐Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reflect market conditions, but excludes the impact of any non‐market vesting conditions. Non‐market vesting conditions, if any, are included in assumptions about the number of options likely to be exercisable. Upon exercise of the options, the proceeds received, net of any transaction costs, are credited to issued capital. 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 ventures are set out in Note 20.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment 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. Depreciation of the processing plant acquired during the year will be based over future periods on a basis related to expected benefits.

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the group is accumulated separately for each area of interest. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is recognised in relation to an area of interest when the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and either: • such expenditure is expected to be recovered through successful development and commercial exploitation of
the area of interest; or • the exploration activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable
assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration expenditure, which no longer satisfies the above policy, is written off. 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 cash‐generating unit to which the asset belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash‐generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash‐generating 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 pre‐tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
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
Non‐current 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 re‐evaluated 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 pre‐tax 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. Employee entitlements
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non‐monetary benefits, annual leave, and any other employee entitlements expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee entitlements expenses and revenues arising in respect of wages and salaries, non‐monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave, sick leave and other entitlements are charged against profits on a net basis. Contributions are made to employee superannuation plans and are charged as expenses when incurred. 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.

(v) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ‐ continued
Revenue
Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) 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, carry‐forward 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 carry‐forward 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.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST 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 included. The net amount of GST 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 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 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 non‐discretionary 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.
Acquisition Accounting
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. Consideration is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred and equity interests issued by the Group on acquisition date. Consideration also includes the acquisition date fair values of any contingent consideration arrangements, any pre‐existing equity interests in the acquiree and share‐based payment awards of the acquiree that are required to be replaced in a business combination. The acquisition date is the date on which the Group obtains control of the acquiree. Where equity instruments are issued as part of the consideration, the value of the equity instruments is their published market price at the acquisition date unless, in rare circumstances it can be demonstrated that the published price at acquisition date is not fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reasonable measure of fair value.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES ‐ continued
(v) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ‐ continued
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in business combinations are, with limited exceptions, initially measured at their fair values at acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of the non‐controlling interest in the acquiree over fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. If the consideration and non‐controlling interest of the acquiree is less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss as a bargain purchase price, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired. For each business combination, the Group measures non‐controlling interests at either fair value or at the non‐controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition‐related costs are expensed when incurred. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity. Where the group obtains control of a subsidiary that was previously accounted for as an equity accounted investment in associate or jointly controlled entity, the group remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition date fair value and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Where the Group obtains control of a subsidiary that was previously accounted for as an available‐for‐sale investment, any balance on the available‐for‐sale reserve related to that investment is recognised in profit or loss as if the Group had disposed directly of the previously held interest. Where settlement of any part of the cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in future are discounted to present value at the date of exchange using the entity's incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Assets and liabilities from business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control are accounted for at the carrying amounts recognised in the Group's controlling shareholder's consolidated financial statements. When an asset acquisition does not constitute a business combination, the assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction and no deferred tax will arise in relation to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the initial recognition exemption for deferred tax under AASB 112 applies. No goodwill will arise on the acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition will be included in the capitalised cost of the asset.

12. EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SCHEME AND OTHER SHARE‐BASED 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 2012, no options have been granted under this scheme (2011: nil). (b) Other Share Based Payments For share based payments for exploration acquisitions, refer to note 18 (2011: nil). Options granted to Consultants on 21 June 2011 1,000,000 options expiring 30 June 2013, exercisable at 35 cents each. The Incentive Options will vest upon the achievement of certain milestones. The milestones include the successful completion of tenement acquisition agreements, transfer of the tenements to Zamanco subsidiaries, compliance with the relevant Zambian ministries and the definition of a JORC compliant Indicated Resource of greater than 2Mt at 40% Mn. The assessed fair value of the options were determined using a Black‐Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the exercise price, term of option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, expected dividend yield and the risk‐free interest rate for the term of the option. The inputs to the model used were: Grant date 21/06/2011Option exercise price ($) 0.25Expected life of options (years) 1.0247Dividend yield (%) ‐Expected volatility (%) 60Risk‐free interest rate (%) 2.56Underlying share price ($) 0.25Value of Option ($) 0.022 The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

Management has determined that the Group has two reportable segments, being mineral exploration in two geographical locations ‐ Western Australia and 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.

None of the deferred consideration shares have been issued as at 30 June 2012. The ordinary and deferred consideration shares outlined above are considered a share‐based payment and have been accounted for in accordance with AASB2 by valuing the net assets acquired.
19. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES On 10 February 2012, Zamanco acquired 100% of the issued capital of Zamanco Holdings Limited (ZHL), a company that has interests in manganese tenements in Zambia. The purchase consideration included three contingent Tranches of shares, which are to be issued once certain milestones are reached, as follows:
• First Performance Milestone to be met on or before 9 August 2013 ‐ 5,150,000 shares ‐ if the Company defines a JORC‐compliant Indicated Resource of manganese in excess of 1,000,000 metric tonnes and at a grade of greater than 40% Mn, from one of its Zambian projects;
• Second Performance Milestone to be met on or before 9 February 2016 – 15,450,000 shares ‐ if the Company completes a bankable feasibility study for the production of ferromanganese from one of its Zambian projects (with a demonstrated capacity to produce at least 60,000,000 metric tonnes per annum for a minimum of ten (10) years), and the board of the Company approves the development of that project; and
• Third Performance Milestone to be met on or before 9 February 2017 – 25,750,000 shares ‐ if the Company achieves 12 months of continuous production from its high carbon ferromanganese smelter.
None of the deferred consideration shares have been issued as at 30 June 2012. Apart from the above the Group has no contingent assets or liabilities at 30 June 2012.

20. JOINT VENTURES The Group has the following interests in unincorporated joint ventures:
Joint Venture Principal
Activities Zamanco Group
% Interest 30 June 2012 30 June 2011
Zambia Mkushi Exploration Earning 49% ‐Kabwe Exploration Earning 49% ‐Chinsali Exploration Earning 49% ‐EML Mansa Exploration Earning 80% ‐Mansa Exploration Earning 80% ‐Milenge Exploration Earning 80% ‐Sernenje/Milenge Exploration Earning 80% ‐ Australia Yundamindera Joint Venture Exploration 30% Earning 80%
The joint ventures are not separate legal entities. It is a contractual arrangement between participants for the sharing of costs and outputs and does not in itself generate revenue and profit. The joint venture is of the type where initially one party contributes tenements with the other party earning a specified percentage by funding exploration activities; thereafter the parties often share exploration and development costs and output in proportion to their ownership of joint venture assets. The joint venture does not hold any assets and accordingly the Company's share of exploration evaluation and development expenditure is accounted for in accordance with the policy set out in note 1.
21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND INSTRUMENTS
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short‐term 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND INSTRUMENTS ‐ continued
Interest Rate Risk At reporting date the Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s short‐term 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. At reporting date, the Group had the following financial assets exposed to variable interest rates that are not designated in cash flow hedges:
Consolidated
2012 2011
$ $Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents (interest‐bearing accounts) 1,833,046 2,743,316Net exposure 1,833,046 2,743,316
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 2012, 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 2012
$ 2011
$ Judgements of reasonably possible movements:Post tax profit ‐ higher / (lower) + 0.5% 9,157 13,715‐ 0.5% (8,778) (13,715)Equity ‐ higher / (lower) + 0.5% 9,157 13,715‐ 0.5% (8,778) (13,715)
The sensitivity in 2012 is less than in 2011, due to a lower average cash balance during the year. The Company does not expect interest rates to decrease 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, short‐term 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.
Zamanco Minerals Annual Report 2012 70
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND INSTRUMENTS ‐ continued 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 balance date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in financial instruments. 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. 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 (ZMK). 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 2012, the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk was a follows, based on notional amounts (30 June 2011: nil): ZMK* A$ Cash and cash equivalents 3,004 Trade and other receivables ‐ Trade and other payables ‐ Balance sheet exposure 3,004
* Amounts in Zambian dollars (ZMK) converted to Australian dollars (AUD). At 30 June 2012, any movement in exchange rates would not have a material effect on post tax profit and equity for the Group (2011: nil).
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.

Commodity Price Risk The Group’s exposure to price risk is minimal given the Group is still in an exploration phase. Fair Value Disclosure of fair value measurements by level are as follows:
• Level 1 ‐ the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets
• Level 2 ‐ the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices)
• Level 3 ‐ the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. The following table presents the Group’s assets and liabilities as at year ended 30 June 2012 measured at fair value as well as the methods used to estimate the fair value.
