Company Overview
Antipa Minerals Ltd (Antipa or Company) is an Australian public company incorporated in 2010 with the objective of identifying under-explored mineral projects in mineral provinces which have the potential to host world class mineral deposits, thereby offering high leverage exploration and production potential.
Following a successful IPO, Antipa was admitted to the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) ASX on 19 April 2011 and its securities commenced trading on 20 April 2011.
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Antipa Resources Pty Ltd (Antipa Resources), owns a package of prospective tenements covering 1,714 km2 in the Proterozoic Paterson Province of Western Australia (Citadel Project). The Citadel Project is located approximately 100 kilometres north of Newcrest’s Telfer gold mine and includes the drill defined high-grade gold-copper deposit known as the Magnum Deposit (Magnum).
The Company has applied for an additional 1,253km2 of exploration licences, known as the North Telfer Project, which extend its ground holding in the Paterson Province to within 20 kilometres of Telfer.
Highlights
• Completed an AUD$10 million IPO and was admitted to the official list of the ASX on 19 April 2011.
• Completed the acquisition of the Citadel Project, which includes the high-grade gold-copper Magnum Deposit.
• Applied for additional exploration licences adjoining the Citadel Project, now known as the North Telfer Project, and reached an agreement with Paladin Energy Ltd whereby it agreed to withdraw its existing exploration licence applications over the area to leave Antipa as the priority applicant for the ground.
• Undertook a comprehensive review of existing Citadel Project drillcore and exploration data, which confirms the potential for discovery of additional mineralisation at the Magnum Deposit due to prior drilling being sub-parallel to gold-copper bearing structures.
• Completed a helicopter-borne VTEM electromagnetic geophysical survey at the Citadel Project.
• Commenced a drilling campaign at the Citadel Project with a focus on the Magnum Deposit, which is scheduled to be completed in November 2011.
• Commenced a LANDTEM™ ground electromagnetic survery over the 2.2 kilometre long Magnum geochemical anomaly.

Chairman’s Address
Dear Shareholder
I am pleased to present this year’s Annual Report, the first since the Company’s listing on the ASX in April of this year. In this report you will find an outline of the activities of the Company this year which have focused on achieving the objectives which were identified in our prospectus earlier this year.
Although still early days, the Company’s exploration programme at Citadel and, especially, the drilling and electromagnetic work at the Magnum Deposit, has produced encouraging results which confirm the opportunity initially recognised by the Company when it agreed to acquire the Citadel Project. In this respect, Roger Mason, Ian Gregory and their team should be congratulated for their hard work and technical excellence.
In addition, the Company has lodged priority exploration licence applications over the North Telfer Project area, made possible through an agreement entered into with Paladin Resources Ltd. The Company is particularly excited about the acquisition of this ground as it extends the footprint of the Company’s landholding to within 20 kilometres of the Telfer mine and includes numerous previously identified exploration targets. The Company will seek to progress the applications with a view to commencing exploration of the area in the 2012 calendar year. Antipa is currently the largest holder of granted tenements in the Paterson Province of Western Australia and the Telfer Project tenements will further enhance this position upon their grant.
The Company is also actively seeking to add to its asset base both within Australia and internationally. As with the Company’s previous acquisitions, we will concentrate on assets which have the potential to host world class deposits and which will provide maximum value to shareholders.
I would like to sincerely thank you for your support of the Company since listing and, with you, I look forward to the continuing success of the Company.
Yours Sincerely
Stephen PowerExecutive Chairman

Operations ReviewCitadel Project
Overview of Citadel Project
In April 2011, Antipa acquired the Citadel Project from Centaurus Metals Ltd (Centaurus).
The Citadel Project is located in northwest Western Australia approximately 400 kilometres east of Port Headland and 1,300 kilometres north northeast of Perth. The Project is located within the Proterozoic Paterson Province and consists of four exploration licenses covering an area of approximately 1,714 km2 of highly prospective but grossly underexplored stratigraphy (refer to Figure 1 below). The high-grade gold-copper Magnum Deposit is located within the Citadel Project and is a testimony to the Project’s significant potential.
The Proterozoic Paterson Province of Western Australia hosts a number of world-class gold, copper, uranium and tungsten deposits. Situated within 150 kilometres of the Citadel Project are the following:
• NewcrestMiningLtd’sTelferGold-Coppermine,currentlyAustralia’sthirdlargestgoldproducerbehindtheKalgoorlieSuperPitandtheBoddingtonGoldMine.
• AdityaBirlaMineralsLtd’sNiftyCoppermine.NewcrestMiningLtd’sO’Callaghansdeposit,oneoftheworld’slargestTungstendeposits.
• CamecoCorporation-MitsubishiCorporation’sKintyredeposit,oneoftheworld’slargestundevelopeduraniumdeposits.
Figure 1: Location of Citadel Project

Operations ReviewCitadel Project (continued)
Citadel is interpreted to host equivalent proterozoic geological formations to that which hosts the Telfer gold-copper and Nifty copper deposits to the south. Regionally, past exploration has interpreted geological structures considered to be essential ingredients of the genetic models for the Telfer, Nifty and O’Callaghans deposits.
A systematic exploration framework has been partially established by past owners of the Citadel Project. Some 60 regional geophysical and geochemical targets have been delineated, with many remaining untested. This provides numerous drilling opportunities and offers significant potential for discovering additional mineralisation.
Magnum Deposit – A Significant Opportunity
The Magnum Deposit is a 2.2 kilometre long geochemical anomaly which contains high-grade primary gold-copper mineralisation.Previous exploration in the Citadel Project area has been undertaken by BHP (1991-1996), Croesus-Gindalbie (1997-2002), Teck Cominco (2002-2003), NGM Resources (2004-2005) and Glengarry Resources/Centaurus Metals Limited (2006-2010). The Croesus-Gindalbie Joint Venture identified significant gold - copper mineralisation at Magnum after following up results of BHP’s regional exploration. Selected significant historical drillhole intersections at Magnum include:
Drillholes AKD05 was drilled inclined at 60o to azimuth 230o; drillholes AKD06 and 9 were drilled inclined at 60o to azimuth 270o.
However, the Magnum Deposit has previously been evaluated by limited wide space drilling, which, the Company
believes, did not adequately resolve the architecture and potential of the Magnum Deposit and lead to problems with the historical interpretation of the deposit which included:
• Theinterpretationofjusttwosteepeastdippinglodestructures.
• Disregardofthefrequentoccurrenceofmoderatetosteepwestdippinglodessub-paralleltodrilling.

Operations ReviewCitadel project (continued)
Accordingly, in order to properly assess the potential of the Magnum Deposit the Company proposes to concentrate on the following exploration model for the balance of this calendar year and into 2012:• Test extensional Magnum positions along strike to both the south and north by: • Investigating the shallow north plunging envelope of mineralisation (up plunge to the south and down plunge to the north).
• Follow-up of additional mineralisation identified in the isolated diamond drillhole AKD017 located 600 metres to the north of Magnum. • Test for ‘shallow’, potentially open pitable mineralisation, at the unconformity (70 to 80 metres below the surface) including possible oxide mineralisation.

Citadel Project 2011 Exploration Programme
Drillcore and Exploration Data Review
Since listing on the ASX, the Company continued its review and interpretation of the historical exploration data acquired from Centaurus relating to the Citadel Project. This included the examination of some 3,000 metres of drillcore and associated databases hosting drillhole logging, orientation and downhole geophysical data, in conjunction with aircore geochemical data and surface geophysical data (i.e. Electromagnetics and Induced Polarisation). The review has involved several specialist exploration industry consultants.
The detailed review has confirmed that a major component of the high-grade gold-copper mineralisation at the Magnum Deposit dips sub-parallel to all but one of the Magnum drillholes. The findings of this detailed review in the Company’s view, confirm the potential for discovery of further mineralised structures within the existing Magnum Deposit. The review also resulted in an increased priority being given to a number of regional exploration targets.
Completion of Airborne VTEM Survey
Geotech Airborne Pty Ltd completed a helicopter-borne VTEM electromagnetic geophysical Survey during early June 2011 covering approximately 423 km2 or 25% of the Citadel Project. Key outcomes of the VTEM Survey include:
• Identificationofa1.8kilometrelonglate-timeelectromagneticconductivityanomalyatthehigh-gradegold-copperMagnumDeposit.Thisanomalyis1.3kilometreslongerthantheextentofhistoricdrillingandpointstoadditionaldiscoverypotentialatMagnum.

• Thenumberonehighprioritytargetidentified,“Corker”,isalate-timeVTEManomalylocatedjust4kilometrestothenorthofMagnum.
The Company believes that the VTEM results are especially encouraging given that the original discovery of Magnum was based, in part, on the results of a previous electromagnetic survey conducted on the Citadel Project which provides material ‘proof of concept’ for the use of the technology in this area.

Drilling Campaign
The Citadel Project’s drilling programme began in August 2011 with the commencement of drilling at the Magnum Deposit. In addition to drilling at Magnum, the 2011 Citadel Project drilling programme will test a number of high-priority regional targets. Up to two diamond drilling rigs and one reverse-circulation (RC) drill rig will be utilised to drill between 12,000 and 15,000 metres of diamond (including pre-collars) and RC. The drilling campaign is expected to continue until November 2011.
The Magnum drilling target areas comprise three zones, namely:
• The‘CentralZone’TargetArea–hoststheexisting500strikemetreMagnumhigh-gradeprimarygold-copperdiscovery.TheMagnummineralisationremainsopenupanddownplungeandnodrillholesexistforatleast500metrestothenorthandsouthoftheinitial500strikemetrediscoveryarea.

• The‘NorthernStrikeExtensions’TargetArea–representsapproximately+600strikemetrestothenorthofthe‘CentralZone’whichhasthepotentialtohostadditionalmineralisedshoots,includingoxide,withintheMagnumDeposit.
Diamond drilling commenced on priority traverses across the ‘Central Zone’ target area. The ‘Central Zone’ is the focus of broad delineation drilling with the objective of delivering Magnum’s maiden Mineral Resource.
The RC drilling will complete several pre-collars (for priority diamond drillholes) in the ‘Central Zone’ target area before moving to the ‘Southern Strike Extensions’ target area to test for shallower gold-copper mineralisation up plunge of the existing mineralisation. RC drill testing for additional mineralised shoots within the Magnum ‘Northern Strike Extensions’ target area is also a priority, particularly around existing gold-copper intersections (e.g. 1.18 g/t Au and 0.44% Cu from isolated diamond drillhole AKD017) located 600 metres to the north of the ‘Central Zone’. The Magnum drilling target areas and 2011 drilling campaign is summarised by Figures 3 and 4 below.

Operations ReviewNorth Telfer Project
Regional Exploration Programme
Exploration for the 2011 field season involves both regional and prospect scale exploration activities.
Regional scale exploration activities include the heliborne VTEM survey, which covered 25% of the Citadel Project (Figure 5), interpretation of the regional geology and targeting for gold ± copper, base metals including copper, and tungsten mineralisation (Figure 6). The VTEM survey was flown in June and the Company’s independent geophysical consultants have identified 34 VTEM greenfields drill targets including 11 high priority targets. The number one high priority target identified, “Corker”, is a late-time VTEM anomaly located just 4 kilometres to the north of Magnum (Figures 7 and 8).
Prospect scale exploration activities include analysis of existing geophysical and geochemical data, completion of ground (LANDTEM™) and DHEM electromagnetic surveys and diamond plus RC drilling of several priority targets in addition to Magnum. Current high priority targets are Corker (late-time VTEM™ and structural anomaly), Magnum West (geochemical, magnetic, structural and VTEM anomaly), T4 (magnetic, geochemical and structural anomaly) and ANK-E (geochemical, structural and VTEM anomaly), all located within 6 kilometers of the Magnum deposit, and Rimfire which is a VTEM, magnetic and structural anomaly located 21 kilometres to the west of Magnum (Figure 6).

Operations ReviewNorth Telfer Project (Continued)
In May 2011 the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Antipa Resources, applied for additional exploration licences, now known as the North Telfer Project, covering some 1,253 km2 of land adjoining its current Citadel Project landholding and extending south to within 20 kilometres of Newcrest’s Telfer Gold and Copper Mine. The Company also entered into an agreement with Paladin Energy Ltd (Paladin) whereby it has agreed to withdraw its existing exploration licence applications over the area to leave Antipa as the priority applicant for this ground.
The acquisition of the North Telfer Project consolidates the position of the Company as the largest landholder in the Paterson Province, one of Australia’s most underexplored yet highly prospective regions for world-class mineral discoveries.
Under the agreement with Paladin, the parties will enter into a split commodity agreement whereby Paladin will be granted rights to uranium over the area, while Antipa will have exploration and production rights to all other minerals including copper and gold. The agreement also provided for the issue of Antipa shares to a value of AUD$180,000 to Paladin and the grant of a 1% Net Smelter Return royalty from the sale of minerals produced from the acquired area other than uranium.
Antipa expects the grant of the North Telfer Project applications to be made in the normal course following negotiations with relevant stakeholders including native title parties. Until grant, no on-ground exploration activities will be carried out on the North Telfer Project.

Directors’ Report30 June 2011
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIESThe principal activity of the Group during the financial period was mineral exploration.
DIVIDENDSNo dividends have been declared, provided for or paid in respect of the financial period ended 30 June 2011.
SUMMARY REVIEW OF OPERATIONSFor the financial period ending 30 June 2011 the Group recorded a net loss of $517,628 and a net cash outflow from operations of $376,975.
Activities during the period were focussed on the purchase of the Citadel Project and the subsequent IPO of Antipa Minerals Ltd, application for the North Telfer Project and the undertaking of various mineral exploration activities at the Citadel Project.
Citadel Project
On 12 April 2011, the purchase of the Citadel Project was completed through the issue of 6,250,000 fully paid ordinary shares and 3,125,000 options as consideration to Centaurus Metals Limited.
The wholly owned Citadel Project is located in northwest Western Australia approximately 400 km east of Port Headland and 1,300 km north northeast of Perth. The Project is located within the Proterozoic Paterson Province and consists of four exploration licenses covering an area of approximately 1,714 km2 of highly prospective but grossly underexplored stratigraphy. The high-grade Magnum gold-copper deposit is located within the project and is a testimony to the project’s significant potential.
The Paterson Province hosts several world-class mineral deposits all located within 150 km of the Citadel Project, including; Australia’s third largest gold producer Newcrest’s Telfer Gold Mine, Aditya Birla’s Nifty Copper Mine, Newcrest’s O’Callaghans tungsten and base metal skarn deposit and Cameco Corporation-Mitsubishi Corporation’s Kintyre uranium deposit.
The Company believes the Citadel Project is prospective for the discovery of world-class gold, copper/base-metal, tungsten and uranium deposits.
The Company is currently undertaking an exploration programme at the Citadel Project which includes airborne and ground geophysical surveys and a drilling campaign.
IPO
On April 2011, the Company announced the completion of its IPO with the raising of $10,000,000 for the issue of 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares with a free attaching 20 cent option for each two shares issued.
North Telfer Project
During May 2011 the Company applied for additional exploration licences, now known as the North Telfer Project, covering approximately 1253 km2 of land adjoining the Citadel Project landholding and extending south to within 20 kms of of Newcrest’s Telfer Mine. The Company also entered into an agreement with Paladin Energy Ltd (Paladin) whereby it has agreed to withdraw its existing exploration licence applications over the North Telfer Project area to leave the Company as the priority applicant for this ground.

Directors’ Report30 June 2011
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)
A. PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION
The objective of the Board, acting in its capacity as remuneration committee, is to ensure that pay and rewards are competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The remuneration committee charter adopted by the Board aims to align rewards with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. The remuneration framework applied provides a mix of fixed and variable pay and a blend of short and long term incentives as appropriate.
Remuneration of executives consists of an unrisked element (base pay) and cash bonuses based on performance in relation to key strategic, non-financial measures linked to drivers of performance in future reporting periods. As such, remuneration is not linked to the financial performance of the Company in the current or previous reporting periods.
At present the functions of the remuneration committee in relation to the remuneration of the Company’s executives (including share and benefit plans) are carried out by the full board. No directors are present at meetings of the board in this function where their own remuneration is being considered. Issues of remuneration are considered annually or otherwise as required.
Non-executive directors
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at General Meetings and is currently set at $400,000. The Company’s policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates (for comparable companies) for time, commitment and responsibilities. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company, however to align directors’ interests with shareholders’ interests, Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
In addition to Directors’ fees, non-executive Directors are entitled to additional remuneration as compensation for work outside the scope of non-executive directors duties (whether performed in a consulting or part-time employee capacity). Non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the board.
Retirement benefits and allowances
No retirement benefits or allowances are paid or payable to non-executive directors of the Company other than Superannuation benefits.
Other benefits
No motor vehicle, health insurance or other similar allowances are made available to non-executive directors.
29
Directors’ Report30 June 2011
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Executives
Base pay
Executives are offered a competitive level of base pay which comprises the fixed (unrisked) component of their pay and rewards. Base pay for senior executives is reviewed annually to ensure market competitiveness. There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in any senior executives’ contracts.
Short term incentives
Payment of short term incentives is dependent on the achievement of key performance milestones as determined by the remuneration committee. These milestones require performance in relation to key strategic, non-financial measures linked to drivers of performance in future reporting periods.
Short-term bonus payments may be adjusted up or down in line with under or over achievement relative to target performance levels at the discretion of the remuneration committee.
For the period ended 30 June 2011 and the comparative period, no short term incentives were paid or payable to Directors or Key Management Personnel of the Company or Group.
Long term incentives
Long-term performance incentives comprise of options granted at the discretion of the remuneration committee in order to align the objectives of directors with shareholders and the Company (refer section D for further information). The issue of options to Directors requires shareholder approval.
The grant of share options has not been directly linked to previously determined performance milestones or hurdles as the current stage of the Group’s activities makes it difficult to determine effective and appropriate key performance indicators and milestones.
There is currently no Board policy in relation to the person granted the option, limiting his or her exposure to risk in relation to the securities.

Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Antipa Minerals Limited (Company or Antipa) is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the period from incorporation to 30 June 2011 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”).
As the Company was incorporated on 1 November 2010, no comparative financial information for prior period exists.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statement are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements are general-purpose financial statements, which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and theCorporationsAct2001.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements of Antipa Minerals Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets.
Critical accounting estimates and significant judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 4.
Notes To The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements 2011For the period ended 30 June 2011
43
Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group incurred a net loss of $517,628 for the period to 30 June 2011 and had a net cash outflow from operations of $376,975 for the period. Notwithstanding this, the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate based upon the available cash assets of $8,467,268 as at 30 June 2011.
Should the going concern basis not be appropriate, the entity may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the financial report.
New accounting standards and interpretations
The Group has chosen not to early-adopt any accounting standards that have been issued, but are not yet effective.
Set out below is a summary of issued accounting standards, which are or may become relevant to the Entity, which are not yet effective and a description of their expected effect on the Group’s financial statements(if any).
Notes To The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements 2011For the period ended 30 June 2011
AASB 2010-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Financial Instruments: Disclosures [AASB 7] (effective 1 January 2011)
In June 2010 the AASB issued an amendment to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which deletes various disclosures relating to credit risk, renegotiated loans and receivables and the fair value of collateral held. There will be no impact on initial adoption to amounts recognised in the financial statement as the amendments result in fewer disclosures only.
AASB 2010-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Financial Statements [AASB 101] (effective 1 January 2011)
In June 2010 the AASB issued an amendment to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, which allows that a detailed reconciliation of each item of other comprehensive income may be included in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. There will be no impact on initial adoption of this amendment as a detailed reconciliation of each item of other comprehensive income has always been included in the statement of changes in equity.Revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures and AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards (effective from 1 January 2011)
In December 2009 the AASB issued a revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures. It is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. The amendment removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities and clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party. The Group will apply the amended standards from 1 July 2011. When the amendments are applied, the Group and the parent will need to disclose any transaction between its subsidiaries. However, it has yet to put systems in place to capture the necessary information. It is therefore not possible to disclose the financial impact, if any, of the amendment on the related party disclosures.AASB 9 (issued December 2009) - Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2013)
44
(b) 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 or Directors.
The Board of Directors review internal management reports on a monthly basis that is consistent with the information provided in the statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. As a result no reconciliation is required, because the information as presented is used by the Board to make strategic decisions.
Management has determined, based on the reports reviewed by the Board of Directors and used to make strategic decisions, that the Group has one reportable segment being mineral exploration. The Group’s management and administration office is located in Australia.
Notes To The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements 2011For the period ended 30 June 2011
This amends the requirements for classification and measurement of financial asset. Due to the recent release of these amendments and that adoption is only mandatory for the 30 June 2014 period end, the entity has not yet made an assessment of the impact of these amendments.
FRS 11 (issued May 2011) Joint Arrangements (Effective from Annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013)
Joint arrangements will be classified as either ‘joint operations’ (where parties with joint control have rights to assets and obligations for liabilities) or ‘joint ventures’ (where parties with joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint arrangements structured as a separate vehicle will generally be treated as joint ventures and accounted for using the equity method (proportionate consolidation no longer allowed). However, where terms of the contractual arrangement, or other facts and circumstances indicate that the parties have rights to assets and obligations for liabilities of the arrangement, rather than rights to net assets, the arrangement will be treated as a joint operation and joint venture parties will account for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in accordance with the contract.
IFRS 12 Disclosure of interest in other entities (Effective from 1 Jan 2013)
Combines existing disclosures from IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, IAS 28 Investments in Associates and IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures. Introduces new disclosure requirements for interests in associates and joint arrangements, as well as new requirements for unconsolidated structured entities.
IFRS 13 (issued May 2011) Fair Value Measurement (Effective from 1 Jan 2013
Additional disclosures required for items measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, as well as items merely disclosed at fair value in the notes to the financial statements. Extensive additional disclosure requirements for items measured at fair value that are ‘level 3’ valuations in the fair value hierarchy that are not financial instruments, e.g. land and buildings, investment properties etc.
IFRS 10 (issued May 2011) Consolidated Financial Statements (Effective from Annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013)
Introduces a single ‘control model’ for all entities, including special purpose entities (SPEs)whereby all of the following conditions must be present: -power over investee (whether or not power used in practice) -Exposure, or rights, to variable returns form investee -Ability to use power over investee to affect the entity’s returns from investee
45
Notes To The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements 2011For the period ended 30 June 2011
(c) Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (‘the functional currency’). The functional and presentation currency of the Group is Australian dollars.
Translation and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date.
Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(d) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below:
Interest
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset).
Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
46
Notes To The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements 2011For the period ended 30 June 2011
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the statement of comprehensive income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.
(e) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash- generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
(g) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment.
47
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement within other expenses.
(h) Financial assets
Other financial assets only consist of ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose for which the financial assets were acquired and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
Recognition and derecognition
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through the profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables are subsequently recorded at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, less impairment.
Impairment
The Group has assessed at reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Group’s financial assets carried at amortised cost, the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flow, excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
(i) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item.
Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write down the net cost or fair value of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value.
Notes To The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements 2011For the period ended 30 June 2011
48
Notes To The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements 2011For the period ended 30 June 2011
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. The estimated useful life of the property, plant and equipment as at 30 June 2011 is 3 years.
(j) Exploration, evaluation and restoration costs Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is stated at cost and is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest.
Such costs are only carried forward in respect of areas of interest for which the rights of tenure are current and where:
(i) such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, alternatively, by its sale; or
(ii) activities in the area have not at the statement of financial position date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to the area of interest are continuing.
All other costs which do not meet these criteria are written off immediately to the statement of comprehensive income.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Where carried forward expenditure does not satisfy the policy stated above it is written off to the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the decision is made to write-off. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off to the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
Rehabilitation, Restoration and Environmental Costs
Long-term environmental obligations are based on the Group’s environmental management plans, in compliance with current environmental and regulatory requirements. There are currently no material rehabilitation obligations.
(k) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other accounts payable represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(l) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
49
Notes To The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements 2011For the period ended 30 June 2011
(m) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(n) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
(i) where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
(ii) receivables and payables, with the exception of accrued expenses and expense provisions, are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
(0) Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Antipa Minerals Limited (‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2011 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Antipa Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated entity.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group.
50
Notes To The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements 2011For the period ended 30 June 2011
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.
3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Market risk (i) Foreign exchange risk Antipa Minerals Limited is based in Australia, its shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and the Group reports its financial performance and position in Australian dollars (A$). There are no applicable foreign exchange risks. (ii) Interest rate risk As at and during the period ended on balance date the Group had no significant interest-bearing assets or liabilities other than liquid funds on deposit. As such, the Group’s income and operating cash flows (other) than interest income from funds on deposit) are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and liabilities is set out below.
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. Antipa’s board of directors (Board) performs the duties of a risk management committee in identifying and evaluating sources of financial and other risks. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management which balance the potential adverse effects of financial risks on Antipa’s financial performance and position with the “upside” potential made possible by exposure to these risks and by taking into account the costs and expected benefits of the various methods available to manage them.The Group holds the following financial instruments:

% $
Financial assets
Cash assets Floating rate* 5.79% 8,467,268
* Weighted average effective interest rate
The Group’s policy is to maximise the return on cash held through the use of high interest deposit accounts and term deposits where possible.
The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk as at balance date. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in interest rates.
(b) Credit risk Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers. The Group trades only with recognised, trustworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy to perform credit verification procedures in relation to any customers wishing to trade on credit terms with the Group. These include taking into account the customers’ financial position and any past experience to set individual risk limits as determined by the Board. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised in part a) of this note. As at 30 June 2011, all cash and cash equivalents were held with AA rated banks.
(c) Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity risk management involves the maintenance of sufficient cash, committed credit facilities and access to capital markets. It is the policy of the Board to ensure that the Group is able to meet its financial obligations and maintain the flexibility to pursue attractive investment opportunities through keeping committed credit lines available where possible, ensuring the Group has sufficient working capital and preserving the 15% share issue limit available to the Group under the ASX Listing Rules. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

Notes To The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements 2011For the period ended 30 June 2011
Contractual maturities of financial liabilities As at the reporting date the Group had total financial liabilities of $422,938, comprised of non interest- bearing trade creditors and accruals with a maturity of less than 6 months.
(d) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement and/or disclosure purposes.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
(e) Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the potential return to shareholders.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In preparing this financial report the Group has been required to make certain estimates and assumptions concerning future occurrences. There is an inherent risk that the resulting accounting estimates will not equate exactly with actual events and results.
(a) Significant accounting judgements
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Deferred tax assetsThe Group has carried forward tax losses which have not been recognised as deferred tax assets as it is not considered sufficiently probable that these losses will be recouped by means of future profits taxable in the appropriate jurisdictions.
Capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure The Group has capitalised significant exploration and evaluation expenditure on the basis either that this is expected to be recouped through future successful development (or alternatively sale) of the Areas of Interest concerned or on the basis that it is not yet possible to assess whether it will be recouped.
(b) 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 period are:
53
Notes To The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements 2011For the period ended 30 June 2011 Impairment of assets The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
As at 30 June 2011, the carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation is $2,093,984.
Share based payment transactions The fair value of share appreciation rights is measured using a Black Scholes model. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).
5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management has determined that the Group has one reportable segment, being mineral exploration. As the Group is focused on mineral exploration, the Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted revenues and expenditure incurred by area of interest. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the company and its ongoing exploration activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.
