CORE EXPLORATION LTD
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2015
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the period ended 31 December 2015
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a)
Nature of operations
Core’s principal activities are the exploration for iron oxide, copper, gold, and uranium (IOCGU) deposits in South Australia and
Northern Territory.
b)
General information and basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements (the interim financial statements) of the Group are for the six months ended 31
December 2015 and are presented in Australian dollars($), which is the functional currency of the parent company. These
general purpose interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act
2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial
statements in accordance with AIFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the
Group for the year ended 30 June 2015 and any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year in accordance
with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and the
Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for profit entity for the purposes of preparing its financial statements.
The interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the board of directors on 25 February 2016.
c)
Significant accounting Policies
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the Group’s
last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of preparation of these interim
financial statements.
d)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best
available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends of
economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
i)
Key estimates- impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to
impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.
ii)
Key judgements – exploration and evaluation expenditure
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,
which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and
changes to commodity prices.
To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits
and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.
In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage
that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the extent it is
determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, profits and net assets will be reduced in the
period in which this determination is made.

CORE EXPLORATION LTD
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2015
2. GOING CONCERN BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The interim financial report has been prepared on the basis of a going concern. During the six months ended 31 December
2015 the consolidated group recorded a net cash outflow from operating and investing activities of $953,828 and an operating
loss of $719,769. These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Group’s ability
to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the entity successfully:
continuing the development of its exploration assets
raising additional funds which may be from a variety of means inclusive of, but not limited to issue of new equity,
debt, asset sales or entering into joint venture arrangements on mineral properties.
The directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis because Directors have an
appropriate plan to meet conditions.
If additional capital is not obtained, the going concern basis may not be appropriate, with the result that the group 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 interim financial report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the interim financial report.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The weighted average number of shares for the purpose of diluted earnings per share can be reconciled to the weighted

b

Corporations Regulations 2001.

operating and investing activities equates to $953,828. These conditions, along with other
