ORD RIVER RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
2
Your directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of Ord River Resources
Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2013.
Directors
The names of the Company’s Directors in office during the Period and until the date of this report are
set out below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.
Graham McGeagh Bruce McInnes Franck Zhu Michael P Lee A. Anthony McLellan (Appointed 6 November 2013) David Tang (Resigned 23 October 2013)
Review of operations
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $810,000 (31 December
2012: $704,000).
Revenue decreased during the half-year, primarily from a reduction in interest income due to lower
interest rates and a lower cash balance. Corporate expenditure was comparable with the prior half-year
period. The Company recognised an impairment expense of $60,000 (31 December 2012: $0) which
contributed to the increased loss.
Plutonic Dome Gold Project
During the half year the Company entered into a significant Farm-In/Joint Venture (“FIJVA”) with Dampier
Gold Limited (ASX:DAU) (“Dampier”) to earn a 75% interest in the Plutonic Dome Gold Project (“Project”)
through $6million expenditure over a two year period. The Project consists of in excess of 400km2 of
granted tenure. An 85km network of high quality haul roads provide access within the project area and
the nearby Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX:NST) Plutonic processing facility. The Project has an
extensive history of past production with a total of 580,000oz gold having been produced from 40 mostly
shallow open pits within the project area.

ORD RIVER RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
12
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
This general purpose condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting
period ended 31 December 2013 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB
134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures
compliance with International Financial Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all notes of the type normally
included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the
annual report for the year ended 30 June 2013 and any public announcements made by the
Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
(a) Going Concern
This condensed consolidated interim 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 consolidated entity has incurred a net loss after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2013 of
$810,000 (2012: $704,000) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $278,000
(2012: $650,000).
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company being able to
raise additional funds as required to fund ongoing exploration commitments and for working capital. The
Directors believe that they will be able to raise additional capital as required and subsequent to period
end have finalised a $900,000 unsecured loan facility, placed $1.495 million of the renounceable rights
offer shortfall and entered into a conditional placement term sheet to raise a further $3m. The Directors
believe that the Company will continue as a going concern. As a result the financial report has been
prepared on a going concern basis. However should the Company be unsuccessful in undertaking
additional raisings the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have
been made relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company not continue as a going concern.
(b) New / revised accounting standards and interpretations adopted
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013, except for the adoption of new standards and
interpretation noted below:
AASB10 Consolidated Financial Statements AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and UIG-112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The new control model broadens the situations where an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a

y
ORD RIVER RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
13
manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. AASB12 Disclosure of interests in other entities AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. New disclosures have been introduced about the judgements made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates, structure entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests. AASB13 Fair value measurement AASB13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets. AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-8.
AASB 119 Employee benefits The main change introduced by this standard is to revise the accounting for defined benefit plans. The amendment removes the options for accounting for the liability, and requires that the liabilities arising from such plans is recognised in full with actuarial gains and losses being recognised in other comprehensive income. It also revised the method of calculating the return on plan assets. The revised standard changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. This distinction between short-term and other long-term employee benefits is now based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting date. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-10. Adoption of these amendments had no material impact on financial position or performance of the
group.
(c) Earnings per share
In January 2014 the Company completed a renounceable rights issue at an issue price of $0.005 for one
new share and one free attaching option, which represented a discount to the market price. In
accordance with AASB133 Earnings per Share, the comparative earnings per share calculations for the
half-year ended 31 December 2012 have been restated for the bonus element of the renounceable rights
issue.
2. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Identification of reportable operating segments The consolidated entity has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

ORD RIVER RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

As of the date of this report the consolidated entity operates entirely in the industry of exploration of minerals in Australia and Laos. The operating segments are identified based on the location of the exploration tenements. Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are
considered to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the type of
product and service. The consolidated entity has determined that the reportable operating segments are
based on geographical locations as this is the source of the consolidated entity’s major assets which are
in Australia and Laos.
Corporate office activities Corporate office activities are not allocated to operating segments and form part of the reconciliation to net profit/(loss) after tax.

Interest in joint venture entity 3,771
3,888
The consolidated entity has a 49% interest in the joint venture entity Sino Australian Resources (Laos) Co.
Ltd (“SARCO”) which is incorporated in Laos PDR and is involved in the exploration of bauxite resources in
Bolaven Plateau in Laos.
The Company has been in talks with potential buyers of its 49% interest in SARCO. During February
2014 the Company entered into a term sheet with an international specialist bauxite company
granting them an exclusive due diligence period which will expire at midnight 28 March 2014. The
bauxite sector has attracted recent attention following Indonesia’s decision to activate a ban on its
bauxite exports at the beginning of 2014 and with the price of the commodity rising. There have
been several verbal indications of interest from other potential buyers.
Based on the above, management have determined that no impairment charge is necessary for the
half-year ended 31 December 2013.
The share of the joint venture loss after income tax for the half-year was $119,009.

At 31 December 2013 the Company has raised a $60,000 provision for impairment to reduce the carrying
value of the West Wyalong tenement to $0. This is because there is significant uncertainty that
management will continue exploring this tenement in the future and realise value from this tenement.
The write down is considered necessary to reflect the tenements fair value given Ord River Resources’
other priorities at this time and that the tenement is approaching its 5 year maturity. Management
intend to renew this tenement.
Subsequent to period end Xstrata Copper (through their subsidiary Mount Isa Mines) notified the
Company of their intention to withdraw from the Copper Flats Project – Binding Term Sheet Agreement
(“Agreement”), which required expenditure of a minimum of $300,000 per annum over two years to
review and develop the project. The Agreement ended on 27 February 2014. The Company has not
recognised an impairment against capitalised exploration expenditure for Copper Flats as it believes the
tenement still has value given interest received from third parties.

18
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and
upon a poll each share shall have one vote.
1Rights Issue
The Company undertook a partially underwritten renounceable rights issue during the half-year. The
rights offer closed on 23 December 2013 and completed on 2 January 2014 once all underwriters’ funds
had been received. The majority of funds were received prior to 31 December 2013; however the
shares were not issued until completion on 2 January 2014. Given that the proceeds meet the definition
of equity at 31 December 2013, they have been recorded as issued capital at this date.
9. DIVIDENDS
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial half-
year.
10. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
This note provides details of the consolidated entity’s contingent liabilities, based on the probability that
payment is considered unlikely, along with details of contingent liabilities which our directors consider
should be disclosed.
Under the name Sino Australian Resources (Laos) Co., Ltd (SARCO), the project is a joint venture between
Ord River Resources (49%) and China Nonferrous Metal Industry’s Foreign Engineering and Construction
Co., Ltd (NFC) (51%). Until 30 September 2009, Ord River Resources solely funded all exploration
activities conducted by SARCO in Laos and since 1 October 2010 NFC has been funding ongoing
exploration activities.
In accordance with the Joint Venture agreement, at the time NFC’s contribution has reached the level of
Ord River Resource’s initial contribution, both Ord River Resources and NFC are obliged to contribute
their respective share of funding requirements for any further activity.
In 2012 an audit was performed by NFC in relation to Ord River Resources’ contribution to the
expenditures incurred by the SARCO JV from inception to 30 September 2009. At the conclusion of this
audit NFC challenged a total of $1.1 million in expenditure that is currently included as part of the total
Ord River Resources’ contribution recorded by the consolidated entity, although a formal claim has not
been made by NFC.
Ord River Resources has the contractual right to audit the NFC contributions. At this time, such an audit
has not been undertaken, although any findings from such an audit may constitute a future claim by Ord
River Resources on NFC.At 31 December 2013 the consolidated entity is working amicably with NFC to
resolve this disputed amount.
Additional contributions by NFC to the SARCO JV have since increased Ord’s contingent liability by
$203,000.

amount as the financial assets and financial liabilities are short-term instruments. Fair values are
those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable,
willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
The fair values have been determined based on the following methodologies:

nature whose carrying value is equivalent to fair value. Trade and other payables exclude amounts
provided for relating to annual leave which is not considered a financial instrument.
