OUR PEOPLE
our People
At Newmont we measure our success
as a company and industry leader
by the impact we have on the lives
of our personnel, their families and
the communities we operate in.
We expect all employees and
contractors to act with integrity,
respect and demonstrate leadership
in safety and stewardship of the
environment and community.
At 31 December 2012, Newmont
employed 5,188 staff and contractors,
including 234 Indigenous personnel,
at our Australian and New Zealand
operations. Our Indigenous workforce
equates to 4.5 per cent of Newmont’s
total Australian workforce, compared
to the mining industry’s national
employment average of 4.7 per cent
and 2.7 per cent in other industries.
We encourage all employees to
share career aspirations, identify key
strengths and develop an action plan
to achieve their goals. Employees at
all levels of the business are offered
development programs targeting
the specific skill sets required for
leadership in their role. Ongoing
support is available to follow up
on this skill development. We also
offer opportunities for international
assignments and travel, providing the
chance to learn and develop a wellbalanced global business perspective.
Attracting and retaining personnel
remains a challenge in the mining
and resource sector. To strengthen
our position as an employer of choice
we continue to provide initiatives and
incentives in the areas of leadership
development, rosters, working
conditions, employee development
opportunities, competitive salary
packaging and flexible work
arrangements including support for
Indigenous employees and contractors
and their cultural commitments.
With mineral deposits often located
in remote areas across the globe,
our operations present opportunities
to work with men and women from
different cultures, races, religions
and traditions.
Turnover
Twenty two female employees at
grade 103 and above attended two,
multi-day workshops titled ‘Women
in Newmont’ in 2012. This leadership
program was developed in 2011
in collaboration with the Australian
Institute of Management (AIM) as part
of our Asia-Pacific Workplace Diversity
Strategy. The program focused on
issues women face in leadership
positions in a predominately
male-dominated industry. In total
51 of our employees have completed
the program since introduction.
Our flexible working arrangements
for parents, particularly women,
were recognised with an ‘Outstanding
Company Initiative’ award at the 2012
Chamber of Minerals and Energy
Women in Resources Awards.
The Casual Haul Truck drivers
(or Hotseaters) initiative provides
parents with the opportunity to
learn and operate a haul truck while
working within school hours.
This initiative won the Western
Australian Chamber of Mining and
Energy women in mining award and
was a finalist in the national awards.
Asia-Pacific Workplace
Diversity Strategy
We implemented a Workplace
Diversity Strategy in 2012 to attract
and retain diverse talent within
our business. We will continue to
implement this strategy in 2013, which
includes continued development and
training for female leaders, monitoring
of critical gender related statistics and
measures and targeted recruitment of
women in non-traditional roles.
Turnover decreased at all Asia-Pacific
operating sites in 2012, averaging 13
per cent. This figure decreased from
an average of 17 per cent in 2011,
In 2012 the Federal Government’s
Equal Opportunity for Women in
the Workplace Agency (now the
Workplace Gender Equality Agency)
recognised our equal opportunity
policies and procedures for meeting
all Federal regulatory and compliance
requirements regarding equal
opportunities for women.

with the exception of the Subiaco
Regional Office where turnover
increased by one per cent to
12 per cent. This figure includes the
redundancies of 60 roles in late 2012
(from across all operations) as a result
of increasing cost pressures and
decreasing gold price, which required
a major review of budget, resourcing
and staffing levels. The cost pressures
and rapidly decreasing gold price
meant a shift from a business
strategy that focused on growth
during strong gold prices to a strategy
that required operations to focus on
cost-effective production.

Platform provides ongoing communications
and graphic design support for Newmont Asia
Pacific’s internal and external communication
and marketing activities.
Platform offers strategic advice, roll-out support
for internal campaigns such as safety leadership
programs, IT projects, change management.
We have undertaken stakeholder engagement
strategies, site architecture planning and copywriting
for Newmont’s APAC Sharepoint / intranet site.
In 2013, Platform provided support for the production
of the 2012 Asia Pacific Sustainability Report,
Beyond the Mine. Platform’s design team produced
a revitalised report, in line with Newmont’s international
branding guidelines that provided a refreshed look that
successfully communicated Newmont’s sustainability
and environmental performance across each of its sites.

Our culture
Our vision is to be
the most valued and
respected company
through industry
leading performance.
Giving back to the
communities we operate in
The health and safety of our workforce
is paramount. Newmont has made
a firm commitment to achieve to “Zero
Harm” – that is, to operate a fatality and
injury free business – within five years.
The relationships with the communities
in which Newmont operates are
fundamental to our business. These
communities serve as our hosts and
we endeavour to ensure our presence
delivers benefits to the entire community.
Our goal is to lead the industry
in health and safety performance,
with zero fatalities and the lowest
Total Recordable Accident Frequency
Rate (TRAFR) and Occupational
Illness Rate amongst our peers.
Newmont has implemented a robust
safety management program, leading
safety management systems, standards
and procedures to ensure employees
are equipped with the resources they
need to work safely.
Our people
Newmont aims to build a workplace
culture that enables individuals
from diverse backgrounds to thrive,
contribute and grow. We actively
encourage diversity across our
workforce and are focused on boosting
female employee representation.
All Newmont employees and
contractors are expected to act with
integrity, respect and demonstrate
leadership in safety and stewardship
of the environment and community.
Employees at all levels of the business
are offered development programs
targeting the specific skill sets required
for leadership in their role.
With mineral deposits often located
in remote areas across the globe,
we offer opportunities for international

Safety – our most
important value
Newmont has a plethora of initiatives
and incentives in the areas of
leadership development, rosters,
working conditions, employee
development opportunities, competitive
salary packaging and flexible work
arrangements including support for
Indigenous employees and contractors,
and their cultural commitments.
The most critical element of our
community development program
is the development of a shared vision
for the future by proactively supporting
projects and programs that meet the
needs and priorities of our communities.
Newmont’s Indigenous Diversity initiative
targets seven per cent Aboriginal
Australians in the workplace. As part
of this initiative Newmont focuses
on recruitment, training and retention
of Indigenous employees to improve
diversity at our Boddington and
Tanami sites. Newmont’s Indigenous
employment strategy seeks to surpass
the targets identified within our
voluntary yet legally binding Community
Partnership Agreement with the Gnaala
Karla Booja people of Boddington and
our Consolidated Mining Agreement
conditions for Walpirri people of Tanami.
Employment of Aboriginal people
is one of many avenues by which
we seek to decrease the economic
and social disadvantage experienced
within Indigenous communities.
Community investment
Local community investment
is an integral component of
Newmont’s approach to building
positive community relationships
and delivering long-term benefits
to the regions in which it operates.
The Newmont community investment
focuses on funding projects or
agencies that:
> Support Indigenous communities by
enhancing employment opportunities
and preserving Indigenous heritage
and knowledge;
> Deliver improved educational
outcomes and boost skill sets;
> Develop greater capacity and
leadership in local communities;
> Promote healthier lifestyles.
We have surpassed
the national average for
Indigenous employment
with a 4.9 per cent
average for Newmont’s
Australian operations
versus the Australian
Mining industry average
of 4.6 per cent.

Our environment,
our legacy, our future
Newmont integrates environmental
management into all aspects of the
mine life cycle – from planning through
to development, construction, operation
and closure – to maximise the beneficial
aspects of a mine operation and
to minimise potential impacts.
The responsible closure
and reclamation of Newmont’s
operations is a key indicator
of our sustainability performance.
Newmont is committed to leaving
a positive legacy for the communities
and environments in which we
operate and embed environmental
considerations throughout the mine
life cycle to ensure our sites can support
productive post-closure land use and
provide sustainable advantages to
local communities.
Newmont also has an expansive
exploration program that continuously
evaluates potential prospects and seeks
to enhance the resource base across
the Asia Pacific region, opening up
new opportunities for Newmont and
the communities we are involved in.
Newmont has commenced work
to secure government approvals to
advance our Boddington operations
and extend the mine life.
We are also considering the possibility
of extending our KCGM operations past
the current 2029 operational mine life,
subject to government approvals.

LIFE OF MINE 2021
The Martha open pit and Trio
underground mines are managed by
Newmont Waihi Gold in the town of
Waihi in New Zealand’s North Island.
The original Martha mine, one of the
most important gold and silver mines
in the world, closed in 1952 and later
resumed as an open pit operation
in 1987. The Trio underground mine
began production in 2012 while the
Favona underground mine, which
first began construction in 2004,
was closed in 2011.
The newest addition to Newmont’s
mining assets is the Correnso
underground mine, located in Waihi
East. Mine development began
in December 2013 and mining is
scheduled to commence in late 2014.
The Correnso mine workings will
be situated 300 to 130 metres
underground and will be first mine
under residential properties permitted
in New Zealand. The mine is subject to
stringent consent conditions, especially
those relating to blast vibration.
Our talented team also assisted Newmont with
their 2013 Golden Gecko Award Submission for
their Wiluna Martu Land Management Collaboration
and their quarterly newsletter, Dig This.

CKA’s approach to workers’ compensation is unique
and enables our clients to achieve significant financial and
operational benefits.
Reducing your premiums
At CKA, we recognise that workers compensation costs, like other
business expenses, can be controlled. We strive to help our clients
streamline their workers’ compensation costs and premiums by
providing tools and services designed to proactively address and
manage workers compensation and safety requirements.
Quite simply, workers’ compensation premiums are a function of claims
costs and the insurance company’s margin. CKA’s model influences
the cost of claims and the insurers margin by amounts that have
traditionally been unachievable. This allows CKA to reduce premium
costs for its clients that traditional broking strategies have not allowed.
Our unique tools and proven strategies are embraced by insurers.
CKA’s strategy is a ‘game changer’ and consistently achieves results for
our clients that they previously thought were impossible.

Key Cost Drivers
Key cost drivers can be influenced differently by various parties within
client, insurer and service provider organisations. Connecting each
influence to maximise the total value for our clients is part of CKA’s
unique workers’ compensation model.
>
>
For insurers
we connect underwriting
and claims (these
functions commonly act
independently and do
not integrate to provide
benefits for our clients)
For external service providers
we connect our clients with service providers
(who are commonly engaged by insurers and do not
fully appreciate the client) to reduce costs and to work
in unison to drive the performance of the insurer.
Traditionally, the various parties involved in the workers’ compensation
process have functioned independently. CKA’s unique model provides
the ‘glue’ and the expertise to achieve the best in any workers’
compensation program.
Other brokers have their own broking strategies which aim to get the
best price for their clients. This normally relaying on taking involves
presenting historical information (claim, wages, etc.) and using this
historical information to get quotes from various insurers.
CKA’s approach is different. While other brokers use traditional and old
techniques, we maximise key cost drive benefits with positive, proven
strategies. Before we start negotiating with insurers, we undertake a
detailed analysis of the key cost drivers for each client. This process
changes the paradigm and allows significantly better premium
outcomes to be achieved.

02/ Bottom-line benefits
through reduced premiums
At CKA, we recognise that workers
compensation costs, like other business
expenses, can be controlled. CKA can
offer unique workers’ compensation
insurance differences to deliver
bottom-line benefits to clients by:
- streamlining workers’ compensation
costs and premiums by providing
tools and services designed to
proactively address and manage
workers’ compensation and safety
requirements;
- simplifying the insurance process to
help clients make informed decisions
that are appropriate for their needs;
- minimising the amount of paperwork
you need to complete, saving you
time and money; and
- providing hands-on service from
senior, experienced CKA people.
03/ A tailored, integrated approach
CKA’s analysis of the key factors
impacting OHS, HR and Finance
creates shared common drivers as we
examine the key factors influencing your
workers’ compensation costs.
We assist our clients by:
- developing claims management
processes to promote a safe and
healthy workplace;
- providing early reports of injuries; and
Preparation is critical.
Information is powerful.

04/ Staying at the forefront of
safety and risk management
While our core business is to provide
insurance, at CKA we have also
developed a reputation as innovators,
educators and leaders in safety and risk
management. We use the latest tools,
technologies and management systems
to remain market leaders in this area.
We communicate regularly with our
clients to demonstrate the financial
benefits that can be gained from
operating safe work environments,
such as reduced workers’
compensation premiums.
This incentive encourages our
clients to strive towards continuous
improvements to safety performance.
05/ Long term relationships
with clients
At CKA, we work hard to build
multi-level relationships with each
client and ensure we are well known
in key function areas (OHS, HR and
Finance), as well as the Managing
Director level.
Our risk based philosophy and unique
‘advice-driven’ service culture ensures
corporate insurance buyers now have
a credible choice. We always remain
independent of the bureaucracy and
we are always answerable to our client.
CKA encompasses a teamwork
ethic that encourages us to work with
the client, rather than for the client –
we become an extension of our
clients’ team.
06/ Strong network of
service providers
CKA maintains strong connections with
resource-specific service providers for
injury management, rehabilitation, health
and legal advice. By sourcing quality,
professional advice, we can facilitate
early and appropriate rehabilitation and

We actively select the best service
providers in each area of speciality to

Based
on this model,
we undertake an assessment of

us to articulate a clients risk profile
(present and emerging) based on fact
rather than speculation.
08/ Crisis response
At CKA we adopt a holistic, commercial
and, most importantly, an immediate
response for our clients to help manage
crisis situations. We provide our clients
with experienced resources on the
ground to help plan and manage
what are commonly unforeseen
consequences of a crisis event.
Our crisis response service
offering includes:
- WorkSafe inspections and control of
workplaces;
- grief counselling;
- media and PR communications;
- legal assessment and investigation;
- mitigation of consequential additional
workers’ compensation exposures
(e.g. resultant stress claims from
other workers); and
- implementing early intervention
strategies to minimise potential
claims costs, common law exposures
and potential other legal exposure

Our objective is to create long-term value
through the discovery, development and
conversion of the natural resources and Rare
Earths present at Mount Weld. We are committed
to delivering positive results for the company and
its shareholders. The Mount Weld Concentration
Plant is now processing Rare Earths ore, which
will yield Rare Earths concentrate for use in the
Lynas Rare Earths business.
Rare Earths mineral resources at Mount Weld
combine an estimated total resource of 1.416
million tonnes REO (Rare Earths Oxide), making
it the richest known deposit of Rare Earths in the
world. Lynas is committed to complying with all
respective and applicable legislation, regulations
and international standards to ensure the safe,
reliable and efficient production of Rare Earths.
Today, we enjoy the benefits of that vision and
glimpse into the future of Rare Earths production.
Exploration is crucial to the future growth of any
resources business and the Lynas Mount Weld
exploration team continues to be a contributing
factor to our success. At Lynas, we recognise
that our employees are fundamental to our
organisation and we would like to take this
opportunity to thank all Lynas personnel and
employees for their hard work and dedication for
working towards making our vision into a reality.
The combined talent of the countless individuals
who contributed to Mount Weld is
to be commended.
I would also like to thank the Laverton
community for its support as we ramp up to
Rare Earths production. We are committed to a
long-term, sustainable future within the Laverton
community. The Company has established strong
relationships with local government and partners

Discovery of Mount Weld in
Western Australia.
Lynas investigates the
treatment of Mount Weld
Rare Earths concentrate by the
process known as ‘Sulphuric
Acid Bake’.
Lynas takes 100 per cent
control of the whole resource
through the completion of
the acquisition of Anaconda
Industries Ltd (which acquired
Ashton Mining Ltd in 2000).
The Mount Weld project
receives full environmental
approvals and a nonsubstantial change to the
environmental approval
is granted.
Independent assessment
of Mount Weld Rare Earths
deposit is completed, resulting
in a doubling of estimate to
7.7 Mt at 12 per cent for
917,000t Rare Earths Oxide.
The Mount Weld project
receives full clearances in
relation to Aboriginal
Heritage and Native Title.
Lynas forms a Joint Venture
with Ashton Mining Ltd to
develop the Mount Weld Rare
Earths project with 35 per
cent ownership and an option
to move to a controlling
equity position.

THE RESOURCE CHANNEL
Platform provided strategic marketing and graphic
design support to The Resource Channel since
its inception.
Platform and The Resource Channel joined forces
to implement an industry-first marketing campaign
to promote an online survey targeting potential mining
and resources employees. The survey was conducted
to determine the level of interest for trainees, semiskilled,
female and Indigenous participants for fly-in, fly-out
opportunities from Brisbane.
The Platform team developed a stirring online marketing
campaign called ‘the face of mining is changing’.
Emotive photography was a critical element to
the campaign, which was also conceptualised by
Platform. The campaign specifically targeted tradesmen,
business women, farmers and working mothers as ideal
candidates, and was distributed through publications
and media channels with relevant demographics.
The strategy was supported by a print campaign
to reach a wider target audience.

TERSUM ENERGY
Tersum Energy approached Platform as an emerging
sustainable energy company looking to develop and
promote its brand identity amongst stakeholders
including prospective partners and investors.
Platform’s team worked collaboratively with Tersum
management to develop a brand, logo, stationery suite,
corporate brochure and website helping Tersum to
stand out in the sustainable energy market. The team
drew inspiration from the company’s values and goals
in addition to the Latin translation of “Tersum Energy” to
“clean energy” to develop colour palettes and graphics.
Platform has since undertaken additional projects for
Tersum including media relations. Working closely with
Tersum’s Managing Director Rod Littlejohn, Platform’s

Tersum uses patented gasification processes that extract energy by
breaking down solid waste material and converting this into syngas.
This is a non-incineration process that exposes solid waste to high
temperatures to heat the chemical compounds of the waste material,
which in turn breaks down into gas. The gasification process does not
produce the same sort of emissions as the engines and turbines in
standard power station processes. The compliance of the gasification
process is comparable to natural gas.

Waste composition is analysed to determine the most suitable technology
application for the energy from waste process.
Waste is transported to the energy from waste processing facility.
Waste is fed into the high temperature conversion chamber of the
gasification process. Through super heating in a controlled oxygen
environment, the chemical compounds of the waste break down and
are released in a gaseous form. This process prevents combustion,
allowing the efficient transformation of complex solid compounds into
basic gaseous elements – a crude synthetic gas (syngas).
The remaining solid residue is further processed into an inert pellet suitable
for use as a construction aggregate.

7-15kg metals

syngas
The crude syngas is refined and cleaned to remove sulphur, acid gases,
unwanted compounds and segregate heavy metals found in the waste stream.
The syngas is then rapidly cooled to remove the water content. Heat is recovered
from this process and can be used to heat the initial conversion chamber or used
to create steam to generate additional electricity.
The result is a clean synthetic gas, consisting of hydrogen, carbon monoxide
and carbon dioxide.

Demand for support throughout Australia has seen
the Many Rivers community bloom. Since beginning
as a single site operation in Grafton, Northern New
South Wales in 2007, Many Rivers has grown to
operate in 14 locations, with 16 field officers working
across New South Wales, Queensland and Western
Australia. 584 businesses have been established
or expanded through the assistance of Many Rivers.
Of these businesses, 70% are still operating, and
a further 8% have ceased due to their owners
obtaining other employment. They have provided
531 loans totalling $2.9 million and maintained an
89% loan repayment rate. Many Rivers field officers
are currently meeting and business planning with
a further 304 clients. Many Rivers continues
to sew the seeds of success, assisting people
and their communities to realise their potential.
Despite this success, and the support of corporate
partners such as Atlas, Many Rivers has significant
funding gaps in Western Australia and needs your

It is common for Fortescue operations located in port hedland and the
pilbara to be subjected to cyclones on an annual basis. During the summer
months operations such as Cloudbreak and Christmas Creek are hit with
destructive weather that impact their operations for days, even weeks. being
in partnership with Fortescue, Skywest and Virgin Australia have a unique

A joint
approach
Skywest and Virgin Australia’s teams
of experienced and skilled staff have
dealt with cyclones such as Cyclone
George in March 2007, Cyclone
Carlos in February 2011 and,
most recently cyclone heidi in
January 2012, in categories
ranging from 2 to a severe 4.
Through exceptional teamwork,
communication and the ability to
think on their feet both airlines have
more than proven their capability in
taking on challenges that are both
unpredictable and unavoidable.
It is not only the understanding
of crisis management but also the
mutual understanding and respectful
relationship between Skywest,
Virgin Australia and Fortescue that
ensures that each operation runs
smoothly all year round. Relocating
thousands of Fortescue staff during
cyclones and the aftermath of these
cyclones is challenging for all parties,
however both teams have developed
together a system that is both flexible
and reactive.
Marcus Ritchie
Pilot
Skywest and Virgin Australia have
established a joint cyclone response
structure, including the establishment
of a team who work exclusively with
Fortescue, and who will immediately
be ready to assist should disaster
strike. Operations start with pilots
continuously moving passengers out
of the cyclone site and to the safety of
perth. From there it is the operations
and management team that ensure
that each passenger is accounted
for, that they are provided with food,
beverage and all necessities, and, for
those passengers who cannot return
to their eastern states home, are
provided with accommodation.
both airlines understand the
importance of communication
between all parties in handling cyclone
operations, and keeping everyone
involved calm and informed. In times
of need all staff including pilots,
management and operations staff,
will work together and contribute to all
roles in order to ensure that operations
run smoothly and efficiently. When the
team is subjected to technical difficulty
it is common for even the pilots to
manually distribute boarding passes
and check passengers in.
Marcus ritchie is the Fleet Manager and a Captain on board the Airbus
320 fleet. He has been with skywest since the start of the Airbus fleet
two years ago. He works almost exclusively with Fortescue Metals group
(Fortescue) and was one of many skywest employees on hand to help
Fortescue employees evacuate their port Hedland site during Cyclone
Heidi in early January 2012. Marcus piloted one of six aircraft that moved
between 3000 and 4000 Fortescue employees back to the safety of perth
over a six day period.
According to Marcus, teamwork is the key to what sets Skywest apart from other
airline carriers. “We are one big family; everyone brings their own set of skills to
the table,” Marcus said.
even under pressure from the weather, families of the employees and the
passengers themselves, Marcus said that the Skywest team alongside Fortescue
remained as close and helpful as ever. With a mutual understanding of the
demands from both teams and an appreciation for each other Skywest and
Fortescue have sustained an unyielding relationship.
Although the Fortescue operation was Skywest’s top priority during the cyclone
period there was no negative impact on their other business operations.

Skywest, Virgin Australia
and Fortescue…
This is not the first time Alicia and
Julie have worked alongside Fortescue
in a situation like this. In May 2011,
Skywest and Fortescue worked
together to move employees out of
their port hedland site when it was
hit with more extreme weather. Julie
believes that it is these situations which
cement the already strong relationship
between Skywest and Fortescue.
Marcus is no stranger to flying under these conditions. After living in the
Kimberley and The pilbara for ten years he is well adapted to the pressures
of unpredictable weather and handling his aircraft within this. Marcus said
that it is the extensive experience of the Skywest team and himself that made
this operation so successful. From a pilot’s perspective, having a complete
understanding of your aircraft is imperative to handling emergencies such as this.

Skywest A special interest in fostering
genuine Indigenous engagement
like FMG, Skywest are strongly
focused on genuine Indigenous
engagement, and align closely
to Fortescue’s Indigenous
engagement program. We aim
to provide a genuine, holistic
approach to addressing all
of the barriers to meaningful
employment for Indigenous
people, not just singular token
initiatives that fail to provide a
complete solution.
Skywest continues to strive to create and maintain
sustainable training initiatives that attract and
retain Indigenous people and also benefit their
communities. like FMG, we identified very
early on that an ongoing commitment to the
Indigenous community was critical. It formed part
of our overall vision to align our aims with the
needs and values of the Indigenous community.
We also have a signed covenant with AeC,
ensuring we foster a culture and practice which
supports the recruitment and retention of
Indigenous staff. by becoming an AeC employer,
we are excited to join business peers like Fortescue.

Engagement Strategy
Fortescue’s VTeC program set a precedent
for industry. excited by its success,
Johanna Ramsay, Skywest’s executive
General Manager Charter, and Tony
Shaw, Managing Director and Founder of
Indigenous Services Australia collaborated
to create a program modeled on the
Fortescue VTeC Indigenous engagement
program. This has resulted in the Cabin
Crew School with seven initial recruits.
Along with setting goals for Indigenous
engagement, we see a great opportunity
to provide a learning platform for our
non- Indigenous staff and the rest of
the community. In this vein, the Skywest
Aboriginal engagement Strategy forms
part of a broader strategy to raise
awareness about traditional practices
and values of Indigenous people in rural
Australia. This is really important to
Skywest and will continue to be a cultural
pillar for Skywest.

Since its resizing in 2008, the Broken Hill
operation has significantly improved its
productivity, profitability and cashflow.
The Reserve and Resource update in June 2010
extended the mine life to a little over 10 years life.
Looking forward, the anticipated metal production
for Broken Hill is approximately 120,000 tonnes
of combined zinc and lead with expected C1 cash
costs for 2011 of approximately US$0.50 - 0.60/lb
of payable zinc forecast.
In the Pan-Pacific area, Perilya has an active
exploration and development program in the
Broken Hill region and in the Flinders region in
South Australia. Perilya is also undertaking a
comprehensive development study on its
Mount Oxide copper project located in the
Mount Isa region, Queensland. In addition,
the company is seeking to recommence
exploration once licenses have been renewed
on its 50% interest in its copper/gold project
in the state of Sabah, Malaysia.
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board of Directors I am pleased to
present to you the 2010 Annual report and Financial
Statements for Perilya Limited. The Company’s
performance over the last twelve months represents
an outstanding result on all fronts including safety,
operational performance, financial performance and
strategic growth.
Each year your Board reviews the period just gone
and, in light of that review, adjusts where necessary
the short and long term strategic goals of the
Company to ensure that they remain appropriate in the
circumstances. With the implementation of significant
changes within the organisation and our operations
during late 2008 through 2009, it was important during
2010 for the Company to not only consolidate this
platform, but to build on these improvements.
You may recall that at the commencement of 2010 I said
that “we start the new financial year with the exciting
challenge to build on this strong platform of growth
that we have developed and I have every confidence
in Paul Arndt and his team to successfully meet that
challenge”. I went on to outline five key areas that the
Board had identified where Management should focus
its attention and deliver on to ensure maximum benefit
for our shareholders. Those areas were:
In January 2011, Perilya successfully acquired 100%
of the TSX-listed GlobeStar Mining Corporation.
This acquisition gives Perilya immediate access
to the low cost Cerro de Maimón copper, gold and
silver mine in the Dominican Republic which has a
seven year mine life. The Maimón mine is forecast
to produce 9,300 tonnes of saleable copper,
15,000 ounces of gold and 340,000 ounces of
silver annually at a cash cost of approximately
US$0.80/ Ib of copper.
Perilya is actively exploring for copper and gold in
its Dominican mineral concessions, encompassing
more than 328 square kilometres. Perilya also
owns lateritic nickel resources in the Dominican
Republic and holds a 60% interest in the Moblan
Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada.
5
Over the past eighteen months the Company has
been actively looking for a suitable acquisition to
complement the Broken Hill operations and to diversify
the Company’s cashflow. The GlobeStar acquisition
delivers all of this and more with its strong existing
mining operations and cashflow coupled with a highly
prospective suite of exploration and development
projects that further complement Perilya’s existing
suite of projects. I congratulate Paul and his team for a
identifying and executing a highly successful takeover
of GlobeStar, which has delivered to Perilya geographic
and product diversification whilst being earnings per
share accretive.
Perilya is 52% owned by Shenzhen Zhongjin
Lingnan Nonfemet Co. Ltd, which is China’s third
largest zinc producer.
• Building on the strong platform we had developed
with our restructure and evaluating and
implementing growth options internally and through
external acquisitions where appropriate in the base
and precious metals sectors;
4
• Continuing the efficient and safe mining at
Broken Hill;
The Acquisition also demonstrates Perilya’s ability
to successfully operate in other parts of the world,
with different types of mines and products and
across a range of languages and jurisdictions so as
to become a truly global organisation. I am confident
that this positions Perilya well going forward to
acquire or develop, where appropriate, further projects
anywhere in the world through our expanded strategic
relationships and skill base.
With our Australian operations, importantly, through
our expansion in the Broken Hill region and the
potential development in the Flinders region of direct
shipped zinc silicate ore we are bringing on line further
zinc production at a time when the world is heading
toward a supply deficit. This ensures that Perilya is well
positioned to benefit from that future supply deficit in
line with the Company’s long term strategic plan.
On behalf of the Board, I thank Paul Arndt, the
management team and all employees past and present
for their outstanding efforts during the period and our
shareholders for their support of the Company.

Hawkley’s first well in the Company’s Chernetska Licence in the north-east
part of the Dnieper Donets Basin was spud in May 2011. Chernetska-1 is
an appraisal well designed to test a number of oil and gas flows that were
encountered in a previous well drilled in the 1980s, namely Slobidska-321.
Chernetska-1 will target three oil and two gas zones.
In keeping with Company strategy to take control of the production and
processing chain, Hawkley plans to develop a stand-alone processing facility
for gas and condensate production from the Sorochynska Licence at an
estimated cost of $7 million. Among the benefits of the gas plant will be
removal of bottlenecks that restrict production and improved revenue through
reduction of approximately $300,000 monthly processing fees.
We are facing our biggest challenge yet.
The challenge is to ensure that every day we all
stay safe at work so we can continue to enjoy the
things that are most important to us – our family,
friends, workmates, hobbies and interests.
Our team regularly manages, writes, edits and designs
internal and external reports and newsletters for our
clients to ensure regular and efficient communication
of key messages.

In February 2011, Hawkley achieved a major milestone when production
started at Sorochynska-201. The well has delivered an average of 6.6 million
cubic feet of gas with 254 barrels of condensate per day, which the Company
is selling into the local Ukraine market - Europe’s fourth largest gas market
and the third largest gas producer. There is potential for several wells within
Sorochynska, each of which could have similar production rates. A second
Sorochynska well is scheduled for late 2011.

ANNUAL R E PO RT
Kwale’s 13 year mine life, Base expects
to mine and process 140mt of ore and
produce 4.6mt of final product for sale.
MINING & PROCESSING
The mining operations at Kwale are based
on a conventional dozer trap mining unit
(DMU), using Caterpillar D11T dozers to
feed the DMU. The DMU is a cost effective
method of mining, which is particularly well
suited to the type of ore at Kwale. Over
Kwale is designed to process ore to recover
three separate products – ilmenite, rutile
and zircon. Ore is received at the wet
concentrator plant (WCP) from the DMU
via a slurry pipeline. The WCP removes
slimes at a particle size less than 45μm,
concentrates the valuable heavy minerals
(ilmenite, rutile and zircon) and rejects most
of the non-valuable, lighter gangue minerals.
In October 2013, mining commenced at the
higher-grade Central Dune zone. Since then,
the ramp up of mining activity has delivered
steadily increasing throughput. In the final
quarter of the year under review, mining
rates averaged more than 1,200 tonnes per
hour (tph), and delivered the targeted design
capacity for this phase of the operation.
Mining grades have also steadily improved
as the mining activity approaches the high
grade regions of the Central Dune. Average
ore grades increased from 6.4% heavy
mineral (HM) to 8.1% HM from the March
to June quarter. Mining activities will remain
focussed on the Central Dune zone for
the first eight years of the operation.
The WCP incorporates a number of gravity
separation steps using spiral concentrators.
The heavy mineral concentrate (HMC),
containing 90 per cent heavy minerals,
is then processed in the mineral separation
plant (MSP).
The MSP cleans and separates the ilmenite,
rutile and zircon minerals and removes
any remaining gangue. This is accomplished
by a combination of attritioning, electrostatic
separation, magnetic separation, classification
and gravity separation. The ilmenite and most
of the rutile produced is then transported
in bulk to Base’s own Likoni Port facility.
The balance of the rutile and all of the
zircon produced is containerised prior
to transporting to the main Mombasa
container port.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Base operates the 100% owned Kwale
Mineral Sands Project in Kenya, which
commenced production in late 2013.
Kwale is located 10 kilometres inland from
the Kenyan coast and 50 kilometres south
of Mombasa, the principal port facility for
East Africa. The project was acquired by
Base in 2010. Following the completion
of feasibility study enhancements
and financing, development of Kwale
commenced in October 2011. The Project
is based on a mine life of 13 years, and
features a high grade ore body with a high
value mineral assemblage. Over the next six
years, it is expected to produce an annual
average of 80,000 tonnes of rutile, 360,000
tonnes of ilmenite and 30,000 tonnes of
zircon, making Base a globally significant
producer of mineral sands products.
Platform has produced reports for clients, including
annual reports for Perilya Limited, Bannerman Resources,
ADX Energy, EON Foundation, Hawkley Oil & Gas and
annual sustainability reports for BHP Billiton. Platform
also produced the Worsley Alumina Conveyor Magazine
for BHP Billiton in Collie and Boddington from concept
phase through to production.
Production of these publications involves data review,
interviewing, writing, editing, proof reading, design
andartwork to create original designs, photography
management and production. Our team’s expertise
enables Platform to manage the entire project fromstart
to finish including printing and mail distribution. The
service represents a cost efficient option for our clients
to ensure their projects are of the highest standard.

Platform’s team members are experienced in the
simultaneous, cohesive management and production
of numerous publications and providing expert writing
and editorial advice.
Base has secured seven off-take
agreements across its three product
streams, which run for the first three
to six years of production from Kwale.
The agreements are with some of the
world’s largest consumers of titanium
dioxide and zircon products, including
a cornerstone agreement with DuPont
Titanium Technologies.
The agreements provide off-take security
for Kwale containing firm minimum
annual off-take volumes subject to annual
production forecasts by Base. Pricing is
derived from prevailing market values,
based on agreed price indices or periodic
price negotiations. A minor portion of the
Base production volume over the first
three to six years of operation has been left
available for spot sales.
To the end of the 2013/14 financial year,
Base had exported more than 150,000
tonnes of product from Kwale, delivering
into all of its off-take agreements in
addition to some spot contracts.

Beyond the Mine
OUR PEOPLE
our People
At Newmont we measure our success
as a company and industry leader
by the impact we have on the lives
of our personnel, their families and
the communities we operate in.
We expect all employees and
contractors to act with integrity,
respect and demonstrate leadership
in safety and stewardship of the
environment and community.
At 31 December 2012, Newmont
employed 5,188 staff and contractors,
including 234 Indigenous personnel,
at our Australian and New Zealand
operations. Our Indigenous workforce
equates to 4.5 per cent of Newmont’s
total Australian workforce, compared
to the mining industry’s national
employment average of 4.7 per cent
and 2.7 per cent in other industries.
We encourage all employees to
share career aspirations, identify key
strengths and develop an action plan
to achieve their goals. Employees at
all levels of the business are offered
development programs targeting
the specific skill sets required for
leadership in their role. Ongoing
support is available to follow up
on this skill development. We also
offer opportunities for international
assignments and travel, providing the
chance to learn and develop a wellbalanced global business perspective.
Attracting and retaining personnel
remains a challenge in the mining
and resource sector. To strengthen
our position as an employer of choice
we continue to provide initiatives and
incentives in the areas of leadership
development, rosters, working
conditions, employee development
opportunities, competitive salary
packaging and flexible work
arrangements including support for
Indigenous employees and contractors
and their cultural commitments.
With mineral deposits often located
in remote areas across the globe,
our operations present opportunities
to work with men and women from
different cultures, races, religions
and traditions.
Turnover
Twenty two female employees at
grade 103 and above attended two,
multi-day workshops titled ‘Women
in Newmont’ in 2012. This leadership
program was developed in 2011
in collaboration with the Australian
Institute of Management (AIM) as part
of our Asia-Pacific Workplace Diversity
Strategy. The program focused on
issues women face in leadership
positions in a predominately
male-dominated industry. In total
51 of our employees have completed
the program since introduction.
Our flexible working arrangements
for parents, particularly women,
were recognised with an ‘Outstanding
Company Initiative’ award at the 2012
Chamber of Minerals and Energy
Women in Resources Awards.
The Casual Haul Truck drivers
(or Hotseaters) initiative provides
parents with the opportunity to
learn and operate a haul truck while
working within school hours.
This initiative won the Western
Australian Chamber of Mining and
Energy women in mining award and
was a finalist in the national awards.
Asia-Pacific Workplace
Diversity Strategy
We implemented a Workplace
Diversity Strategy in 2012 to attract
and retain diverse talent within
our business. We will continue to
implement this strategy in 2013, which
includes continued development and
training for female leaders, monitoring
of critical gender related statistics and
measures and targeted recruitment of
women in non-traditional roles.
Turnover decreased at all Asia-Pacific
operating sites in 2012, averaging 13
per cent. This figure decreased from
an average of 17 per cent in 2011,
In 2012 the Federal Government’s
Equal Opportunity for Women in
the Workplace Agency (now the
Workplace Gender Equality Agency)
recognised our equal opportunity
policies and procedures for meeting
all Federal regulatory and compliance
requirements regarding equal
opportunities for women.

with the exception of the Subiaco
Regional Office where turnover
increased by one per cent to
12 per cent. This figure includes the
redundancies of 60 roles in late 2012
(from across all operations) as a result
of increasing cost pressures and
decreasing gold price, which required
a major review of budget, resourcing
and staffing levels. The cost pressures
and rapidly decreasing gold price
meant a shift from a business
strategy that focused on growth
during strong gold prices to a strategy
that required operations to focus on
cost-effective production.

Beyond the Mine 2012
Platform provides ongoing communications
and graphic design support for Newmont Asia
Pacific’s internal and external communication
and marketing activities.
Platform offers strategic advice, roll-out support
for internal campaigns such as safety leadership
programs, IT projects, change management.
We have undertaken stakeholder engagement
strategies, site architecture planning and copywriting
for Newmont’s APAC Sharepoint / intranet site.
In 2013, Platform provided support for the production
of the 2012 Asia Pacific Sustainability Report,
Beyond the Mine. Platform’s design team produced
a revitalised report, in line with Newmont’s international
branding guidelines that provided a refreshed look that
successfully communicated Newmont’s sustainability
and environmental performance across each of its sites.

Our culture
Our vision is to be
the most valued and
respected company
through industry
leading performance.
Giving back to the
communities we operate in
The health and safety of our workforce
is paramount. Newmont has made
a firm commitment to achieve to “Zero
Harm” – that is, to operate a fatality and
injury free business – within five years.
The relationships with the communities
in which Newmont operates are
fundamental to our business. These
communities serve as our hosts and
we endeavour to ensure our presence
delivers benefits to the entire community.
Our goal is to lead the industry
in health and safety performance,
with zero fatalities and the lowest
Total Recordable Accident Frequency
Rate (TRAFR) and Occupational
Illness Rate amongst our peers.
Newmont has implemented a robust
safety management program, leading
safety management systems, standards
and procedures to ensure employees
are equipped with the resources they
need to work safely.
Our people
Newmont aims to build a workplace
culture that enables individuals
from diverse backgrounds to thrive,
contribute and grow. We actively
encourage diversity across our
workforce and are focused on boosting
female employee representation.
All Newmont employees and
contractors are expected to act with
integrity, respect and demonstrate
leadership in safety and stewardship
of the environment and community.
Employees at all levels of the business
are offered development programs
targeting the specific skill sets required
for leadership in their role.
With mineral deposits often located
in remote areas across the globe,
we offer opportunities for international
assignments, travel and the chance to
work with men and women from different
cultures, races, religions and traditions.

Our sites
Safety – our most
important value
Newmont has a plethora of initiatives
and incentives in the areas of
leadership development, rosters,
working conditions, employee
development opportunities, competitive
salary packaging and flexible work
arrangements including support for
Indigenous employees and contractors,
and their cultural commitments.
The most critical element of our
community development program
is the development of a shared vision
for the future by proactively supporting
projects and programs that meet the
needs and priorities of our communities.
Newmont’s Indigenous Diversity initiative
targets seven per cent Aboriginal
Australians in the workplace. As part
of this initiative Newmont focuses
on recruitment, training and retention
of Indigenous employees to improve
diversity at our Boddington and
Tanami sites. Newmont’s Indigenous
employment strategy seeks to surpass
the targets identified within our
voluntary yet legally binding Community
Partnership Agreement with the Gnaala
Karla Booja people of Boddington and
our Consolidated Mining Agreement
conditions for Walpirri people of Tanami.
Employment of Aboriginal people
is one of many avenues by which
we seek to decrease the economic
and social disadvantage experienced
within Indigenous communities.
Community investment
Local community investment
is an integral component of
Newmont’s approach to building
positive community relationships
and delivering long-term benefits
to the regions in which it operates.
The Newmont community investment
focuses on funding projects or
agencies that:
> Support Indigenous communities by
enhancing employment opportunities
and preserving Indigenous heritage
and knowledge;
> Deliver improved educational
outcomes and boost skill sets;
> Develop greater capacity and
leadership in local communities;
> Promote healthier lifestyles.
We have surpassed
the national average for
Indigenous employment
with a 4.9 per cent
average for Newmont’s
Australian operations
versus the Australian
Mining industry average
of 4.6 per cent.

Our environment,
our legacy, our future
Newmont integrates environmental
management into all aspects of the
mine life cycle – from planning through
to development, construction, operation
and closure – to maximise the beneficial
aspects of a mine operation and
to minimise potential impacts.
The responsible closure
and reclamation of Newmont’s
operations is a key indicator
of our sustainability performance.
Newmont is committed to leaving
a positive legacy for the communities
and environments in which we
operate and embed environmental
considerations throughout the mine
life cycle to ensure our sites can support
productive post-closure land use and
provide sustainable advantages to
local communities.
Newmont also has an expansive
exploration program that continuously
evaluates potential prospects and seeks
to enhance the resource base across
the Asia Pacific region, opening up
new opportunities for Newmont and
the communities we are involved in.
Newmont has commenced work
to secure government approvals to
advance our Boddington operations
and extend the mine life.
We are also considering the possibility
of extending our KCGM operations past
the current 2029 operational mine life,
subject to government approvals.

Newmont owned and operated.
The operations are located on
Aboriginal freehold land owned by
the Warlpiri people and is managed
on their behalf by the Central Desert
Aboriginal Lands Trust.
Tanami is divided into three distinct
areas: The Granites, where our
administration and milling operations
are located; Dead Bullock Soak,
also known as Callie, where mine
production and maintenance is
located; and Twin Hills Village,
home to the fly-in fly-out workforce.

LIFE OF MINE 2021
The Martha open pit and Trio
underground mines are managed by
Newmont Waihi Gold in the town of
Waihi in New Zealand’s North Island.
The original Martha mine, one of the
most important gold and silver mines
in the world, closed in 1952 and later
resumed as an open pit operation
in 1987. The Trio underground mine
began production in 2012 while the
Favona underground mine, which
first began construction in 2004,
was closed in 2011.
The newest addition to Newmont’s
mining assets is the Correnso
underground mine, located in Waihi
East. Mine development began
in December 2013 and mining is
scheduled to commence in late 2014.
The Correnso mine workings will
be situated 300 to 130 metres
underground and will be first mine
under residential properties permitted
in New Zealand. The mine is subject to
stringent consent conditions, especially
those relating to blast vibration.
Our talented team also assisted Newmont with
their 2013 Golden Gecko Award Submission for
their Wiluna Martu Land Management Collaboration
and their quarterly newsletter, Dig This.

CKA’s approach to workers’ compensation is unique
and enables our clients to achieve significant financial and
operational benefits.
Reducing your premiums
At CKA, we recognise that workers compensation costs, like other
business expenses, can be controlled. We strive to help our clients
streamline their workers’ compensation costs and premiums by
providing tools and services designed to proactively address and
manage workers compensation and safety requirements.
Quite simply, workers’ compensation premiums are a function of claims
costs and the insurance company’s margin. CKA’s model influences
the cost of claims and the insurers margin by amounts that have
traditionally been unachievable. This allows CKA to reduce premium
costs for its clients that traditional broking strategies have not allowed.
Our unique tools and proven strategies are embraced by insurers.
CKA’s strategy is a ‘game changer’ and consistently achieves results for
our clients that they previously thought were impossible.

Key Cost Drivers
Key cost drivers can be influenced differently by various parties within
client, insurer and service provider organisations. Connecting each
influence to maximise the total value for our clients is part of CKA’s
unique workers’ compensation model.
>
>
For insurers
we connect underwriting
and claims (these
functions commonly act
independently and do
not integrate to provide
benefits for our clients)
For external service providers
we connect our clients with service providers
(who are commonly engaged by insurers and do not
fully appreciate the client) to reduce costs and to work
in unison to drive the performance of the insurer.
Traditionally, the various parties involved in the workers’ compensation
process have functioned independently. CKA’s unique model provides
the ‘glue’ and the expertise to achieve the best in any workers’
compensation program.
Other brokers have their own broking strategies which aim to get the
best price for their clients. This normally relaying on taking involves
presenting historical information (claim, wages, etc.) and using this
historical information to get quotes from various insurers.
CKA’s approach is different. While other brokers use traditional and old
techniques, we maximise key cost drive benefits with positive, proven
strategies. Before we start negotiating with insurers, we undertake a
detailed analysis of the key cost drivers for each client. This process
changes the paradigm and allows significantly better premium
outcomes to be achieved.

02/ Bottom-line benefits
through reduced premiums
At CKA, we recognise that workers
compensation costs, like other business
expenses, can be controlled. CKA can
offer unique workers’ compensation
insurance differences to deliver
bottom-line benefits to clients by:
- streamlining workers’ compensation
costs and premiums by providing
tools and services designed to
proactively address and manage
workers’ compensation and safety
requirements;
- simplifying the insurance process to
help clients make informed decisions
that are appropriate for their needs;
- minimising the amount of paperwork
you need to complete, saving you
time and money; and
- providing hands-on service from
senior, experienced CKA people.
03/ A tailored, integrated approach
CKA’s analysis of the key factors
impacting OHS, HR and Finance
creates shared common drivers as we
examine the key factors influencing your
workers’ compensation costs.
We assist our clients by:
- developing claims management
processes to promote a safe and
healthy workplace;
- providing early reports of injuries; and
Preparation is critical.
Information is powerful.

04/ Staying at the forefront of
safety and risk management
While our core business is to provide
insurance, at CKA we have also
developed a reputation as innovators,
educators and leaders in safety and risk
management. We use the latest tools,
technologies and management systems
to remain market leaders in this area.
We communicate regularly with our
clients to demonstrate the financial
benefits that can be gained from
operating safe work environments,
such as reduced workers’
compensation premiums.
This incentive encourages our
clients to strive towards continuous
improvements to safety performance.
05/ Long term relationships
with clients
At CKA, we work hard to build
multi-level relationships with each
client and ensure we are well known
in key function areas (OHS, HR and
Finance), as well as the Managing
Director level.
Our risk based philosophy and unique
‘advice-driven’ service culture ensures
corporate insurance buyers now have
a credible choice. We always remain
independent of the bureaucracy and
we are always answerable to our client.
CKA encompasses a teamwork
ethic that encourages us to work with
the client, rather than for the client –
we become an extension of our
clients’ team.
06/ Strong network of
service providers
CKA maintains strong connections with
resource-specific service providers for
injury management, rehabilitation, health
and legal advice. By sourcing quality,
professional advice, we can facilitate
early and appropriate rehabilitation and
Return to Work management.
We actively select the best service
providers in each area of speciality to
complement and add value to our client
service commitment.

model.
Based
on this model,
we undertake an assessment of
qualitative and quantitative influences
with a client’s business to determine
the favourable (or unfavourable)
impacts these are having on workers’
compensation performance and cost.
CKA’s assessment process is
recognised by insurers and assists
us to articulate a clients risk profile
(present and emerging) based on fact
rather than speculation.
08/ Crisis response
At CKA we adopt a holistic, commercial
and, most importantly, an immediate
response for our clients to help manage
crisis situations. We provide our clients
with experienced resources on the
ground to help plan and manage
what are commonly unforeseen
consequences of a crisis event.
Our crisis response service
offering includes:
- WorkSafe inspections and control of
workplaces;
- grief counselling;
- media and PR communications;
- legal assessment and investigation;
- mitigation of consequential additional
workers’ compensation exposures
(e.g. resultant stress claims from
other workers); and
- implementing early intervention
strategies to minimise potential
claims costs, common law exposures
and potential other legal exposure
for the clients’ directors and senior
executive team.

Rare Earths are found in everyday items such as
fluorescent lights, hybrid vehicles, wind turbines,
flat panel displays, disk drives, digital cameras,
computers and televisions.
The value of Rare Earths is increasing due
to the high demand for technological
items which require Rare Earths
elements. There is no known
substitute for Rare Earths.

Our objective is to create long-term value
through the discovery, development and
conversion of the natural resources and Rare
Earths present at Mount Weld. We are committed
to delivering positive results for the company and
its shareholders. The Mount Weld Concentration
Plant is now processing Rare Earths ore, which
will yield Rare Earths concentrate for use in the
Lynas Rare Earths business.
Rare Earths mineral resources at Mount Weld
combine an estimated total resource of 1.416
million tonnes REO (Rare Earths Oxide), making
it the richest known deposit of Rare Earths in the
world. Lynas is committed to complying with all
respective and applicable legislation, regulations
and international standards to ensure the safe,
reliable and efficient production of Rare Earths.
Today, we enjoy the benefits of that vision and
glimpse into the future of Rare Earths production.
Exploration is crucial to the future growth of any
resources business and the Lynas Mount Weld
exploration team continues to be a contributing
factor to our success. At Lynas, we recognise
that our employees are fundamental to our
organisation and we would like to take this
opportunity to thank all Lynas personnel and
employees for their hard work and dedication for
working towards making our vision into a reality.
The combined talent of the countless individuals
who contributed to Mount Weld is
to be commended.
I would also like to thank the Laverton
community for its support as we ramp up to
Rare Earths production. We are committed to a
long-term, sustainable future within the Laverton
community. The Company has established strong
relationships with local government and partners

Discovery of Mount Weld in
Western Australia.
Lynas investigates the
treatment of Mount Weld
Rare Earths concentrate by the
process known as ‘Sulphuric
Acid Bake’.
Lynas takes 100 per cent
control of the whole resource
through the completion of
the acquisition of Anaconda
Industries Ltd (which acquired
Ashton Mining Ltd in 2000).
The Mount Weld project
receives full environmental
approvals and a nonsubstantial change to the
environmental approval
is granted.
Independent assessment
of Mount Weld Rare Earths
deposit is completed, resulting
in a doubling of estimate to
7.7 Mt at 12 per cent for
917,000t Rare Earths Oxide.
The Mount Weld project
receives full clearances in
relation to Aboriginal
Heritage and Native Title.
Lynas forms a Joint Venture
with Ashton Mining Ltd to
develop the Mount Weld Rare
Earths project with 35 per
cent ownership and an option
to move to a controlling
equity position.

THE RESOURCE CHANNEL
Platform provided strategic marketing and graphic
design support to The Resource Channel since
its inception.
Platform and The Resource Channel joined forces
to implement an industry-first marketing campaign
to promote an online survey targeting potential mining
and resources employees. The survey was conducted
to determine the level of interest for trainees, semiskilled,
female and Indigenous participants for fly-in, fly-out
opportunities from Brisbane.
The Platform team developed a stirring online marketing
campaign called ‘the face of mining is changing’.
Emotive photography was a critical element to
the campaign, which was also conceptualised by
Platform. The campaign specifically targeted tradesmen,
business women, farmers and working mothers as ideal
candidates, and was distributed through publications
and media channels with relevant demographics.
The strategy was supported by a print campaign
to reach a wider target audience.

TERSUM ENERGY
Tersum Energy approached Platform as an emerging
sustainable energy company looking to develop and
promote its brand identity amongst stakeholders
including prospective partners and investors.
Platform’s team worked collaboratively with Tersum
management to develop a brand, logo, stationery suite,
corporate brochure and website helping Tersum to
stand out in the sustainable energy market. The team
drew inspiration from the company’s values and goals
in addition to the Latin translation of “Tersum Energy” to
“clean energy” to develop colour palettes and graphics.
Platform has since undertaken additional projects for
Tersum including media relations. Working closely with
Tersum’s Managing Director Rod Littlejohn, Platform’s
Media Manager provided specialised media relations
advice to leverage the brand amongst key stakeholders
and strengthen relationships with media.

Tersum uses patented gasification processes that extract energy by
breaking down solid waste material and converting this into syngas.
This is a non-incineration process that exposes solid waste to high
temperatures to heat the chemical compounds of the waste material,
which in turn breaks down into gas. The gasification process does not
produce the same sort of emissions as the engines and turbines in
standard power station processes. The compliance of the gasification
process is comparable to natural gas.

Waste composition is analysed to determine the most suitable technology
application for the energy from waste process.
Waste is transported to the energy from waste processing facility.
Waste is fed into the high temperature conversion chamber of the
gasification process. Through super heating in a controlled oxygen
environment, the chemical compounds of the waste break down and
are released in a gaseous form. This process prevents combustion,
allowing the efficient transformation of complex solid compounds into
basic gaseous elements – a crude synthetic gas (syngas).
The remaining solid residue is further processed into an inert pellet suitable
for use as a construction aggregate.

clean
syngas
The crude syngas is refined and cleaned to remove sulphur, acid gases,
unwanted compounds and segregate heavy metals found in the waste stream.
The syngas is then rapidly cooled to remove the water content. Heat is recovered
from this process and can be used to heat the initial conversion chamber or used
to create steam to generate additional electricity.
The result is a clean synthetic gas, consisting of hydrogen, carbon monoxide
and carbon dioxide.

22. If I accept FIFO when will I relocate?
15. What, if any, new infrastructure will be required to
facilitate this shift to FIFO – camps, planes, etc?
We will be using existing camp infrastructure and facilities at both
Port Hedland and Newman. At this stage, additional flights will
not be required, but this may change in the future.
16. Will there be one camp?
We will accommodate employees in a variety of accommodation
facilities.
17. Is this being driven by the skills shortage and not
the shortage of residential accommodation?
No. The decision to offer new and existing employees
FIFO arrangements is to ensure that we can continue to
resource the future of our business and accommodate our
expanding workforce.

24. What are the travel and accommodation arrangements
for FIFO employees?
The Company will coordinate accommodation arrangements for
FIFO employees and travel arrangements between Perth and site.
Travel and accommodation will also be discussed during the
FIFO discussion with your Supervisor and HR Advisor.
18. How do the current global circumstances impact on
the decision to expand FIFO arrangements?
The Platform team assisted BHP Billiton
Iron Ore as they integrated fly-in / fly-out
arrangements into their operations.
25. Do FIFO employees have to live in Perth?
It is preferred that FIFO employees reside in Perth. If you wish to
live somewhere other than Perth, you should discuss this with
your Supervisor or HR Advisor.
We are currently experiencing a housing shortage due to the level
of growth in our business over the past couple of years. This means
we are currently unable to provide all of our employees with
suitable residential housing in Port Hedland and Newman. This has
prompted the decision to expand the use of FIFO in our business.
27. I’m not sure if FIFO is for me. Is there someone I can talk
to about my personal circumstances?
Based on our current growth projections, we expect that, with
our current growth plans, the housing shortage will continue.
Yes. You can discuss your circumstances with your Supervisor
or HR Advisor.
At this stage, the current financial circumstances have not
significantly impacted on WAIO growth plans. However, like all
other businesses, we will continue to monitor the current financial
circumstances and the impact on our business, both in the short
and longer-term.
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is also available. The
EAP is an independent and confidential counselling service made

or 0419 916 572, Newman: 9175 3661 or 9175 3358.
At this stage, we do not anticipate that the current financial
circumstances will signficantly alter the housing shortages
in the communities in which we operate. However, if this situation
changes, we will review our use of FIFO arrangements.

that the company holds dear.
Atlas’ community investments include
Community Partnerships, Helping Hands

Microfinance are among the many community
groups to receive support from Atlas.

Atlas first partnered with Many
Rivers three years ago to help
them establish a Pilbara presence.
This support has grown and Atlas
is now a National Partner, assisting
the organisation to deliver services
to people around Australia.
Every day Many Rivers field officers walk alongside
those who are marginalised and disadvantaged.
They see their clients deal with an array of challenges,
including overcoming intergenerational welfare
dependency, remoteness, language, education
and health issues. Many face dysfunctional family
and community circumstances.
Demand for support throughout Australia has seen
the Many Rivers community bloom. Since beginning
as a single site operation in Grafton, Northern New
South Wales in 2007, Many Rivers has grown to
operate in 14 locations, with 16 field officers working
across New South Wales, Queensland and Western
Australia. 584 businesses have been established
or expanded through the assistance of Many Rivers.
Of these businesses, 70% are still operating, and
a further 8% have ceased due to their owners
obtaining other employment. They have provided
531 loans totalling $2.9 million and maintained an
89% loan repayment rate. Many Rivers field officers
are currently meeting and business planning with
a further 304 clients. Many Rivers continues
to sew the seeds of success, assisting people
and their communities to realise their potential.
Despite this success, and the support of corporate
partners such as Atlas, Many Rivers has significant
funding gaps in Western Australia and needs your
help so that they can continue to operate in areas
of significant disadvantage – where other sources
of funding do not exist. Philanthropic donors are at
the heart of the Many Rivers’ purpose and with your
help the organisation will be able maintain current
operations and expand into new areas of need.

ATLAS IRON
Atlas Iron Limited approached Platform with a strong
need for a refreshed brand.
It led to Platform’s creative team using innovative
expertise to develop a modified look for Atlas through
adjustments and improvements to its existing brand.
Platform was also trusted with the responsibility of
rolling the refreshed brand out across the company,
which included the design and production of; corporate
stationery, pull-up banners, and adverts as well as
redesigning Atlas’ corporate website and intranet.
That first body of work resulted in Platform becoming
a trusted partner with Atlas relying on its marketing
and communication expertise to deliver a bespoke crisis
communications strategy, annual reports and regular
internal newsletters.

“Your outfit has been supporting

on Skywest’s ability to move
1350 staff in one day on short
notice, prior to Cyclone Carlos
crossing the pilbara Coast.
Alicia Turner and Julie Randall
Airport Duty Managers
It is common for Fortescue operations located in port hedland and the
pilbara to be subjected to cyclones on an annual basis. During the summer
months operations such as Cloudbreak and Christmas Creek are hit with
destructive weather that impact their operations for days, even weeks. being
in partnership with Fortescue, Skywest and Virgin Australia have a unique
understanding of the necessity to be constantly prepared to assist Fortescue
when a situation arises.

to say thank you to you and your

and in many cases your teams have

week and a half. The Skywest team
who found planes, crews, helped our
people, cleaned planes, herded the
masses, loaded all our of passengers
and freight (and in some cases then
off loaded), landed planes and
provided some good mystery
trips too – all with smiles, all with
a sense of urgency and many
working very long hours.”

post Cyclone Guest Recovery
A joint
approach
Skywest and Virgin Australia’s teams
of experienced and skilled staff have
dealt with cyclones such as Cyclone
George in March 2007, Cyclone
Carlos in February 2011 and,
most recently cyclone heidi in
January 2012, in categories
ranging from 2 to a severe 4.
Through exceptional teamwork,
communication and the ability to
think on their feet both airlines have
more than proven their capability in
taking on challenges that are both
unpredictable and unavoidable.
It is not only the understanding
of crisis management but also the
mutual understanding and respectful
relationship between Skywest,
Virgin Australia and Fortescue that
ensures that each operation runs
smoothly all year round. Relocating
thousands of Fortescue staff during
cyclones and the aftermath of these
cyclones is challenging for all parties,
however both teams have developed
together a system that is both flexible
and reactive.
Marcus Ritchie
Pilot
Skywest and Virgin Australia have
established a joint cyclone response
structure, including the establishment
of a team who work exclusively with
Fortescue, and who will immediately
be ready to assist should disaster
strike. Operations start with pilots
continuously moving passengers out
of the cyclone site and to the safety of
perth. From there it is the operations
and management team that ensure
that each passenger is accounted
for, that they are provided with food,
beverage and all necessities, and, for
those passengers who cannot return
to their eastern states home, are
provided with accommodation.
both airlines understand the
importance of communication
between all parties in handling cyclone
operations, and keeping everyone
involved calm and informed. In times
of need all staff including pilots,
management and operations staff,
will work together and contribute to all
roles in order to ensure that operations
run smoothly and efficiently. When the
team is subjected to technical difficulty
it is common for even the pilots to
manually distribute boarding passes
and check passengers in.
Marcus ritchie is the Fleet Manager and a Captain on board the Airbus
320 fleet. He has been with skywest since the start of the Airbus fleet
two years ago. He works almost exclusively with Fortescue Metals group
(Fortescue) and was one of many skywest employees on hand to help
Fortescue employees evacuate their port Hedland site during Cyclone
Heidi in early January 2012. Marcus piloted one of six aircraft that moved
between 3000 and 4000 Fortescue employees back to the safety of perth
over a six day period.
According to Marcus, teamwork is the key to what sets Skywest apart from other
airline carriers. “We are one big family; everyone brings their own set of skills to
the table,” Marcus said.
even under pressure from the weather, families of the employees and the
passengers themselves, Marcus said that the Skywest team alongside Fortescue
remained as close and helpful as ever. With a mutual understanding of the
demands from both teams and an appreciation for each other Skywest and
Fortescue have sustained an unyielding relationship.
Although the Fortescue operation was Skywest’s top priority during the cyclone
period there was no negative impact on their other business operations.
Virgin Australia have introduced

Skywest, Virgin Australia
and Fortescue…
This is not the first time Alicia and
Julie have worked alongside Fortescue
in a situation like this. In May 2011,
Skywest and Fortescue worked
together to move employees out of
their port hedland site when it was
hit with more extreme weather. Julie
believes that it is these situations which
cement the already strong relationship
between Skywest and Fortescue.
Marcus is no stranger to flying under these conditions. After living in the
Kimberley and The pilbara for ten years he is well adapted to the pressures
of unpredictable weather and handling his aircraft within this. Marcus said
that it is the extensive experience of the Skywest team and himself that made
this operation so successful. From a pilot’s perspective, having a complete
understanding of your aircraft is imperative to handling emergencies such as this.

SKYWEST
Skywest A special interest in fostering
genuine Indigenous engagement
like FMG, Skywest are strongly
focused on genuine Indigenous
engagement, and align closely
to Fortescue’s Indigenous
engagement program. We aim
to provide a genuine, holistic
approach to addressing all
of the barriers to meaningful
employment for Indigenous
people, not just singular token
initiatives that fail to provide a
complete solution.
Skywest continues to strive to create and maintain
sustainable training initiatives that attract and
retain Indigenous people and also benefit their
communities. like FMG, we identified very
early on that an ongoing commitment to the
Indigenous community was critical. It formed part
of our overall vision to align our aims with the
needs and values of the Indigenous community.
We also have a signed covenant with AeC,
ensuring we foster a culture and practice which
supports the recruitment and retention of
Indigenous staff. by becoming an AeC employer,
we are excited to join business peers like Fortescue.

The Skywest Aboriginal
Engagement Strategy
Fortescue’s VTeC program set a precedent
for industry. excited by its success,
Johanna Ramsay, Skywest’s executive
General Manager Charter, and Tony
Shaw, Managing Director and Founder of
Indigenous Services Australia collaborated
to create a program modeled on the
Fortescue VTeC Indigenous engagement
program. This has resulted in the Cabin
Crew School with seven initial recruits.
Along with setting goals for Indigenous
engagement, we see a great opportunity
to provide a learning platform for our
non- Indigenous staff and the rest of
the community. In this vein, the Skywest
Aboriginal engagement Strategy forms
part of a broader strategy to raise
awareness about traditional practices
and values of Indigenous people in rural
Australia. This is really important to
Skywest and will continue to be a cultural
pillar for Skywest.

Since its resizing in 2008, the Broken Hill
operation has significantly improved its
productivity, profitability and cashflow.
The Reserve and Resource update in June 2010
extended the mine life to a little over 10 years life.
Looking forward, the anticipated metal production
for Broken Hill is approximately 120,000 tonnes
of combined zinc and lead with expected C1 cash
costs for 2011 of approximately US$0.50 - 0.60/lb
of payable zinc forecast.
In the Pan-Pacific area, Perilya has an active
exploration and development program in the
Broken Hill region and in the Flinders region in
South Australia. Perilya is also undertaking a
comprehensive development study on its
Mount Oxide copper project located in the
Mount Isa region, Queensland. In addition,
the company is seeking to recommence
exploration once licenses have been renewed
on its 50% interest in its copper/gold project
in the state of Sabah, Malaysia.
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board of Directors I am pleased to
present to you the 2010 Annual report and Financial
Statements for Perilya Limited. The Company’s
performance over the last twelve months represents
an outstanding result on all fronts including safety,
operational performance, financial performance and
strategic growth.
Each year your Board reviews the period just gone
and, in light of that review, adjusts where necessary
the short and long term strategic goals of the
Company to ensure that they remain appropriate in the
circumstances. With the implementation of significant
changes within the organisation and our operations
during late 2008 through 2009, it was important during
2010 for the Company to not only consolidate this
platform, but to build on these improvements.
You may recall that at the commencement of 2010 I said
that “we start the new financial year with the exciting
challenge to build on this strong platform of growth
that we have developed and I have every confidence
in Paul Arndt and his team to successfully meet that
challenge”. I went on to outline five key areas that the
Board had identified where Management should focus
its attention and deliver on to ensure maximum benefit
for our shareholders. Those areas were:
In January 2011, Perilya successfully acquired 100%
of the TSX-listed GlobeStar Mining Corporation.
This acquisition gives Perilya immediate access
to the low cost Cerro de Maimón copper, gold and
silver mine in the Dominican Republic which has a
seven year mine life. The Maimón mine is forecast
to produce 9,300 tonnes of saleable copper,
15,000 ounces of gold and 340,000 ounces of
silver annually at a cash cost of approximately
US$0.80/ Ib of copper.
Perilya is actively exploring for copper and gold in
its Dominican mineral concessions, encompassing
more than 328 square kilometres. Perilya also
owns lateritic nickel resources in the Dominican
Republic and holds a 60% interest in the Moblan
Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada.
5
Over the past eighteen months the Company has
been actively looking for a suitable acquisition to
complement the Broken Hill operations and to diversify
the Company’s cashflow. The GlobeStar acquisition
delivers all of this and more with its strong existing
mining operations and cashflow coupled with a highly
prospective suite of exploration and development
projects that further complement Perilya’s existing
suite of projects. I congratulate Paul and his team for a
identifying and executing a highly successful takeover
of GlobeStar, which has delivered to Perilya geographic
and product diversification whilst being earnings per
share accretive.
Perilya is 52% owned by Shenzhen Zhongjin
Lingnan Nonfemet Co. Ltd, which is China’s third
largest zinc producer.
• Building on the strong platform we had developed
with our restructure and evaluating and
implementing growth options internally and through
external acquisitions where appropriate in the base
and precious metals sectors;
4
• Continuing the efficient and safe mining at
Broken Hill;
The Acquisition also demonstrates Perilya’s ability
to successfully operate in other parts of the world,
with different types of mines and products and
across a range of languages and jurisdictions so as
to become a truly global organisation. I am confident
that this positions Perilya well going forward to
acquire or develop, where appropriate, further projects
anywhere in the world through our expanded strategic
relationships and skill base.
With our Australian operations, importantly, through
our expansion in the Broken Hill region and the
potential development in the Flinders region of direct
shipped zinc silicate ore we are bringing on line further
zinc production at a time when the world is heading
toward a supply deficit. This ensures that Perilya is well
positioned to benefit from that future supply deficit in
line with the Company’s long term strategic plan.
On behalf of the Board, I thank Paul Arndt, the
management team and all employees past and present
for their outstanding efforts during the period and our
shareholders for their support of the Company.

Hawkley’s first well in the Company’s Chernetska Licence in the north-east
part of the Dnieper Donets Basin was spud in May 2011. Chernetska-1 is
an appraisal well designed to test a number of oil and gas flows that were
encountered in a previous well drilled in the 1980s, namely Slobidska-321.
Chernetska-1 will target three oil and two gas zones.
In keeping with Company strategy to take control of the production and
processing chain, Hawkley plans to develop a stand-alone processing facility
for gas and condensate production from the Sorochynska Licence at an
estimated cost of $7 million. Among the benefits of the gas plant will be
removal of bottlenecks that restrict production and improved revenue through
reduction of approximately $300,000 monthly processing fees.
We are facing our biggest challenge yet.
The challenge is to ensure that every day we all
stay safe at work so we can continue to enjoy the
things that are most important to us – our family,
friends, workmates, hobbies and interests.
Our team regularly manages, writes, edits and designs
internal and external reports and newsletters for our
clients to ensure regular and efficient communication
of key messages.

In February 2011, Hawkley achieved a major milestone when production
started at Sorochynska-201. The well has delivered an average of 6.6 million
cubic feet of gas with 254 barrels of condensate per day, which the Company
is selling into the local Ukraine market - Europe’s fourth largest gas market
and the third largest gas producer. There is potential for several wells within
Sorochynska, each of which could have similar production rates. A second
Sorochynska well is scheduled for late 2011.

A regular update on safety improvement activities in Pilbara operations.
Our focus over the ensuing 12 months will be to
integrate the new acquisition and implement an
active near mine exploration programme with a view
to extending the life and/or size of the Maimón mine.
There will also be a number of potential decisions
around development projects and, through the strong
support of our major shareholder, Zhongjin Lingnan,
we will continue to actively look for further acquisition
opportunities. 2010 has been a very active and
exciting year for Perilya and we expect to build on the
momentum created throughout 2011.

Kwale’s 13 year mine life, Base expects
to mine and process 140mt of ore and
produce 4.6mt of final product for sale.
MINING & PROCESSING
The mining operations at Kwale are based
on a conventional dozer trap mining unit
(DMU), using Caterpillar D11T dozers to
feed the DMU. The DMU is a cost effective
method of mining, which is particularly well
suited to the type of ore at Kwale. Over
Kwale is designed to process ore to recover
three separate products – ilmenite, rutile
and zircon. Ore is received at the wet
concentrator plant (WCP) from the DMU
via a slurry pipeline. The WCP removes
slimes at a particle size less than 45μm,
concentrates the valuable heavy minerals
(ilmenite, rutile and zircon) and rejects most
of the non-valuable, lighter gangue minerals.
In October 2013, mining commenced at the
higher-grade Central Dune zone. Since then,
the ramp up of mining activity has delivered
steadily increasing throughput. In the final
quarter of the year under review, mining
rates averaged more than 1,200 tonnes per
hour (tph), and delivered the targeted design
capacity for this phase of the operation.
Mining grades have also steadily improved
as the mining activity approaches the high
grade regions of the Central Dune. Average
ore grades increased from 6.4% heavy
mineral (HM) to 8.1% HM from the March
to June quarter. Mining activities will remain
focussed on the Central Dune zone for
the first eight years of the operation.
The WCP incorporates a number of gravity
separation steps using spiral concentrators.
The heavy mineral concentrate (HMC),
containing 90 per cent heavy minerals,
is then processed in the mineral separation
plant (MSP).
The MSP cleans and separates the ilmenite,
rutile and zircon minerals and removes
any remaining gangue. This is accomplished
by a combination of attritioning, electrostatic
separation, magnetic separation, classification
and gravity separation. The ilmenite and most
of the rutile produced is then transported
in bulk to Base’s own Likoni Port facility.
The balance of the rutile and all of the
zircon produced is containerised prior
to transporting to the main Mombasa
container port.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Base operates the 100% owned Kwale
Mineral Sands Project in Kenya, which
commenced production in late 2013.
Kwale is located 10 kilometres inland from
the Kenyan coast and 50 kilometres south
of Mombasa, the principal port facility for
East Africa. The project was acquired by
Base in 2010. Following the completion
of feasibility study enhancements
and financing, development of Kwale
commenced in October 2011. The Project
is based on a mine life of 13 years, and
features a high grade ore body with a high
value mineral assemblage. Over the next six
years, it is expected to produce an annual
average of 80,000 tonnes of rutile, 360,000
tonnes of ilmenite and 30,000 tonnes of
zircon, making Base a globally significant
producer of mineral sands products.
Platform has produced reports for clients, including
annual reports for Perilya Limited, Bannerman Resources,
ADX Energy, EON Foundation, Hawkley Oil & Gas and
annual sustainability reports for BHP Billiton. Platform
also produced the Worsley Alumina Conveyor Magazine
for BHP Billiton in Collie and Boddington from concept
phase through to production.
Production of these publications involves data review,
interviewing, writing, editing, proof reading, design
andartwork to create original designs, photography
management and production. Our team’s expertise
enables Platform to manage the entire project fromstart
to finish including printing and mail distribution. The
service represents a cost efficient option for our clients
to ensure their projects are of the highest standard.

Platform’s team members are experienced in the
simultaneous, cohesive management and production
of numerous publications and providing expert writing
and editorial advice.
Base has secured seven off-take
agreements across its three product
streams, which run for the first three
to six years of production from Kwale.
The agreements are with some of the
world’s largest consumers of titanium
dioxide and zircon products, including
a cornerstone agreement with DuPont
Titanium Technologies.
The agreements provide off-take security
for Kwale containing firm minimum
annual off-take volumes subject to annual
production forecasts by Base. Pricing is
derived from prevailing market values,
based on agreed price indices or periodic
price negotiations. A minor portion of the
Base production volume over the first
three to six years of operation has been left
available for spot sales.
To the end of the 2013/14 financial year,
Base had exported more than 150,000
tonnes of product from Kwale, delivering
into all of its off-take agreements in
addition to some spot contracts.
