that a JORC Code resource estimate may be prepared.
The Group is also seeking to expand its portfolio of exploration projects by way of acquisitions and is
currently reviewing a number of prospective projects, and subsequent to year end purchased an option to
acquire a copper-molybdenum deposit in Mongolia.
Environmental Regulation
The Group’s projects are subject to the respective laws and regulations regarding environmental matters and
the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials in Mongolia. As with all exploration, these projects would
be expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed. The Group intends to
conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws and
industry standards. Areas disturbed by the Group’s activities will be rehabilitated as required by the
respective laws and regulations.
As the Group’s projects are located in Mongolia, the Company is not registered under the National
Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act.

payment of a dividend in respect of the period.

exercise of options.
The Company has also agreed to indemnify the current Directors of its controlled entities for all liabilities to
another person (other than the Company or related body corporate) that may arise from their position, except
where the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith. The agreement stipulates that the
Company will meet the full amount of any such liabilities, including costs and expenses.

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and executives of Tian Poh
Resources Limited (the “Company”).
Remuneration philosophy
The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its directors and executives. To prosper, the
Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives.
To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its compensation framework:
Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. The process consists of a review of
relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on
policies and practices.
Variable Remuneration
The Company does not currently have a variable component to the remuneration of the board and
management, however, the Company intends to introduce a variable remuneration plan in the near future.
Remuneration Reviews
The Board of Directors of the Parent is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation
arrangements for the directors, the Managing Director and all other key management personnel.
The Board of Directors assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of compensation of key
management personnel on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the
overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and
executive team.
Remuneration structure
In accordance with best practice Corporate Governance, the structure of non-executive director and
executive remuneration is separate and distinct.
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the company with the ability to
attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive
directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The amount of aggregate remuneration
sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is
reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external shareholders as well as the fees paid to non-
executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Non-executive
directors receive a fee for being a director of the Company. The compensation of non-executive directors for
the year ended 31 December 2014 is detailed below.
In addition, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts and non-cash performance incentive such as
options, subject to necessary shareholder approval, where a director performs special duties or otherwise
performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a director.
Directors are also entitled to be reimbursed reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them
respectively in or about the performance of their duties as directors.
Objective
The entity aims to reward executives with a level and mix of compensation commensurate with their position
and responsibilities within the entity so as to:
• reward executives for company, business unit and individual performance against targets set to
appropriate benchmarks;
• align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;
• link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the company; and
• ensure total compensation is competitive by market standards.
The proportion of fixed compensation and variable compensation (potential short term and long term
incentives) is established for each key management person by the Directors.
Fixed Compensation
Objective
Fixed compensation is reviewed annually by the Directors. The process consists of a review of individual
performance, relevant comparative compensation in the market and internally and, where appropriate,
external advice on policies and practices.
Structure
Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash
and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans.
Variable Compensation
Objective
The objective of the Variable Compensation is to reward executives in a manner that aligns this element of
compensation with the creation of shareholder wealth.
Structure
The Company and Group do not currently have a Variable Compensation plan, however, it is intended that
one be established in the near future.

Mr KP Poh
Managing Director and CEO
The Corporate Governance Statement of The Company is structured with reference to the Australian Stock
Exchange Corporate Governance Council’s (the Council’s) “Corporate Governance Principles and
Recommendations” (“ASX Principles”) as revised in August 2007 the Principles of which are as follows:
Commensurate with the spirit of the ASX Principles, the Company has followed each of the Recommendations to
the extent the Board considered that their implementation was practicable and likely to genuinely improve the
Company’s internal processes and accountability to external stakeholders. The Corporate Governance
Statement contains certain specific information and discloses the extent to which the Company has followed the
guidelines during the period. Where a recommendation has not been followed, the fact is disclosed, together with
reasons for the departure.
Principle 2
Nomination committee
Recommendation 2.4 requires listed entities to establish a nomination committee. During the period from 3 April
2014 to 31 December 2014, the Company did not have a separately established nomination committee.
However, the duties and responsibilities typically delegated to such committee are included in the responsibilities
of the full Board.
Principle 4
Audit committee
Recommendation 4.2 requires the audit committee to be structured so that it consists only of non-executive
directors with a majority of independent directors, chaired by an independent chairperson who is not chairperson
of the Board and has at least three members. During the period from 3 April 2014 to 31 December 2014, the
Company did not have a separately established audit committee. The Board considers that the Company is not
currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the expense of appointing additional
independent Non-Executive Directors simply to fill the audit committee.
Remuneration Committee
Recommendation 8.1 requires listed entities to establish a remuneration committee. During the period from 3
April 2014 to 31 December 2014, the Company did not have a separately established remuneration committee.
However, the duties and responsibilities typically delegated to such committee are included in the responsibilities
of the full Board.
With the exception of the departures from the Corporate Governance Council recommendations in relation to the
establishment of a nomination committee and remuneration committee as stated above, the corporate
governance practices of the Company are compliant with the Council’s best practice recommendations.
Board Function
The Board seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical
expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk
and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks.
To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities it has established guidelines for the
nomination and selection of directors and for the operation of the Board. The responsibility for the operation and
administration of the Group is delegated, by the Board, to the CEO and the executive management team.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the
expectations and risks identified by the Board. The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is
achieved including:
• Board approval of a strategic plan designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage business risk
• Ongoing development of the strategic plan and approving initiatives and strategies designed to ensure
the continued growth and success of the entity
• Implementation of budgets by management and monitoring progress against budget — via the
establishment and reporting of both financial and non-financial key performance indicators
The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date
of the annual report are included in the Directors’ report.
Directors of the Company are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free
from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with — or could reasonably be perceived to
materially interfere with — the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.
2014 Annual Financial Report 16
Tian Poh Resources Limited
Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape,
the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors that point
to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the Group’s loyalty.
In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following
directors of Tian Poh Resources Limited are considered to be independent:
Name Position
The term in office held by each director in office at the date of this report is as follows:
Performance
The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position held by each director are disclosed in the Directors
Report.
The Board has determined that individual Directors have the right in connection with their duties and
responsibilities as Directors, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense. The
engagement of an outside adviser is subject to prior approval of the Chairman and this will not be withheld
unreasonably. If appropriate, any advice so received will be made available to all Board members.
Trading policy
Under the Company’s securities trading policy, an executive or director must not trade in any securities of the
Company at any time when they are in possession of unpublished, price-sensitive information in relation to those
securities.
It is contrary to the Company’s policy for Directors and employees to be engaged in short-term trading of the
Company’s securities.
Requests to trade during the closed periods may be considered in exceptional circumstances. In the case of
Directors and Senior Management approval will be required by the Managing Director or from the Chairman
where the Managing Director makes such a request (Designated Officer).
Risk
The Board has identified the significant areas of potential business and legal risk of the Company. The
identification, monitoring and, where appropriate, the reduction of significant risk to the Company will be the
responsibility of the Board.
To this end, comprehensive practices are in place which are directed towards achieving the following objectives:
In accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act, the CEO and Company Secretary have provided a
written statement to the Board that:
• Their view provided on the Company’s financial report is founded on a sound system of risk management
and internal compliance and control which implements the financial policies adopted by the Board; and
• The Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating effectively in all
material respects.
Remuneration
It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board
and executive team by remunerating directors and key executives fairly and appropriately with reference to
relevant employment market conditions. To assist in achieving this objective, the Board has set remuneration by
benchmarking to industry peers.
The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors themselves
and the CEO.
Pursuant to Principle 6, the Company’s objective is to promote effective communication with its shareholders at
all times.
• Ensuring that shareholders and the financial markets are provided with full and timely information about the
Company’s activities in a balanced and understandable way;
• Complying with continuous disclosure obligations contained in the ASX listing rules and the Corporations
Act in Australia; and
• Communicating effectively with its shareholders and making it easier for shareholders to communicate with
the Company.
To promote effective communication with shareholders and encourage effective participation at general
meetings, information is communicated to shareholders:
The Company’s website publishes all important company information and relevant announcements made to the
market.
The external auditors are required to attend the annual general meeting and are available to answer any
shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and preparation of the audit report.
Diversity policy
The Group recognises the value contributed to the organisation by employing people with varying skills, cultural
backgrounds, ethnicity and experience and employs people based on their underlying skill sets in an environment
where everyone is treated equally and fairly, and where discrimination, harassment and inequity are not
tolerated.
54% of the Company’s employees are females, none of whom are classified as key management personnel.

Tian Poh Resources Limited (the “Company”) is an ASX listed public company since 11 November 2014,
incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia and Mongolia.
The Group primarily is involved in the exploration of minerals in Mongolia and is a for-profit entity.
Statement of compliance
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance
with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and
complies with other requirements of the law.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 31 March 2015.
Basis of measurement
The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB
which are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group have not been applied in preparing these
consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The
Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.
§ AASB 9 Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable for annual
reporting period commencing 1 January 2017)
AASB 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial
assets. Under AASB 9, financial assets are classified and measured based on the business
model in which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. The 2010
revisions introduce additional changes relating to financial liabilities.
The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the comment on hedge accounting
below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial
instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments and
simplified requirements for hedge accounting.
Key changes made to this standard that may affect the Group on initial application include
certain simplifications to the classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of
embedded derivatives, and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on
investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income.
AASB 9 also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility in the
ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items. Should the entity
elect to change hedge policies in line with the new hedge accounting requirements of AASB 9,
the application of such accounting would be largely prospective.
2014 Annual Financial Report 24
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 Tian Poh Resources Limited
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the
Group’s financial instruments, including hedging activity, it is impractical at this stage to provide
a reasonable estimate of such impact.
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian
equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures
that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
During the year ended 31 December 2014, the Company was formed by major shareholders of Poh
Golden Ger Resources Ltd (‘PGGR’) to invest in and to acquire resource exploration assets, and to
list on the Australian Securities Exchange. As a result, the Company issued 130,632,733 shares to
existing shareholders of PGGR in exchange for all shares in PGGR (130,632,733 shares). There
were no major changes to the shareholder group and the transaction does not result in any change
in economic substance. Furthermore, the transaction is outside the scope of AASB3 Business
Combinations since the Company does not meet the definition of a “business” as required by that
standard. Accordingly the consolidated financial statements of the Company are a continuation of
PGGR including comparative information being that of PGGR.
The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions
about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are
considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
(e) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries as at 31 December 2014. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights,
to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the
Group has:
• Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the
relevant activities of the investee)
• Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
• The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this
presumption, and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an
investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has
power over an investee, including:
• The contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee
• Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
• The Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights
The group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that
there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary
begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control
of the subsidiary.
Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the group gains control until the date
the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity
holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non
controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting
policies.
All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions
between members of the group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an
equity transaction. If the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets
(including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity while any
resultant gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognised at fair
value.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Interest income
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective
yield on the financial asset.
Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and
cash equivalents as defined above.
Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. Trade
receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 30 to 90 days.
Exploration and evaluation activities involve the search for mineral resources, the determination of
technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource. Exploration
and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred. Tenement acquisition costs are
capitalised and carried forward to the extent that:
o where activities in the identifiable area of interest have not at the reporting date
reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise
of economically recoverable reserves and activities in, or in relation to, the area of
interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are reviewed at each reporting date for indicators of impairment
and tested for impairment where such indicators exist. If the test indicates that the carrying value
might not be recoverable, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. These charges are
recognised as impairment expense in profit and loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset 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 in previous years.
(i) Development
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an
area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of
interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from exploration and evaluation
expenditure to development expenditure.
Development expenditure includes capitalised exploration and evaluation costs, pre-production
development costs, development studies and other expenditure pertaining to that area of interest.
Costs related to surface plant and equipment and any associated land and buildings are accounted
for as property, plant and equipment.
Development costs are accumulated in respect of each separate area of interest. Costs associated
with commissioning new assets in the period before they are capable of operating in the manner
intended by management, are capitalised. Development costs incurred after the commencement of
production are capitalised to the extent they are expected to give rise to a future economic benefit.
When an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercially or
technically feasible, any accumulated cost in respect of that area is written off in the financial period
that decision is made. Each area of interest is reviewed at the end of each accounting period and the
accumulated costs written off to profit and loss to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the
future.
Amortisation of development costs capitalised is charged on a unit of production basis over the life of
estimated proven and probable reserves at the mine.
Both the functional and presentation currency of the Company is Australian dollars. Transactions in
foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates
ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a
hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency
are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
• assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the
closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
• income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
are translated at average exchange rates (unless that is not a reasonable approximation of
the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income
and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
• all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to profit or loss with the
exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net
investment in a foreign entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net
investment, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss.
Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also
recognised in equity.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid
to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
• when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of
the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of
unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
• when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises
from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business
combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor
taxable profit or loss; or
• when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only
recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the
foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference
can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to
allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are
recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred
tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to
the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that
have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit
or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to
set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities
relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
• when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the
taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of
the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
• receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of
receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST
component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or
payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or
payable to, the taxation authority.
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for
capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection
is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a
replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.
Subsequent costs are only included in an asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these
subsequent costs will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Ongoing repairs and maintenance are recognised as an expense in profit and loss during the
financial year in which they are incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as
follows:
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each financial year end.
Where the useful life of an asset is directly linked to the extraction of ore from a mine, the asset is
depreciated using the units of production method. The units of production method is an amortised
charge proportional to the depletion of the estimated minable mineral deposits.
(iv) Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with
recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and
value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is
determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use
can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its
estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its
recoverable amount.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the
asset is derecognised.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required,
the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount
is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual
asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from
other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its
fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to
which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to
its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are
recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the
asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation
decrease).
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that
previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such
indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is
reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable
amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the
asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset
is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After
such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised
carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods
and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the period that are unpaid and arise when
the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods
and services.
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less
directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses
are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognised.
The liability component of a convertible note is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability
that does not have an equity conversion option. The embedded derivative component is firstly
recognised initially at fair value and the liability component is calculated as the difference between
the financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the derivative at inception. And directly
attributable transaction costs are allocated to convertible note liability and convertible note derivative
in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. The fair value of the derivative portion has been valued
using a valuation technique including inputs that include reference to similar instruments and option
pricing models. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of the convertible note is
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The convertible note derivative
is measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The convertible note liability and derivative are removed from the Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position when the obligations specified in the contract are discharged, this can occur upon
the option holder exercising their option or the option period lapses requiring the Group to discharge
the obligation. Convertible notes and derivatives are classified as current or non-current based on
the maturity date of the convertible note.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, including
a convertible note which contains a derivative financial instrument.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated
as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are
designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in AASB 139 are satisfied. The
Company has designated the right of the holder of the convertible notes to received shares in the
company a financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled,
or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on
substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an
exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of
a new liability.
The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement or profit or loss.
(s) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation.
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an
insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the
reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the
statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax
rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as
a borrowing cost.
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating
sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other
payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date, they are measured at the
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick
leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.
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, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, excluding interest expenses incurred for the
construction of qualifying assets which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time
be get ready for their intended use or sale, unwinding of the discount on provisions, impairment
losses recognised on financial assets, foreign exchange gains/losses and changes in fair value of
financial instruments.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowing pending their
expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
During 2014, the Group acquired 100% of the issued shares of Derong Limited by issuing shares in
the Group.
The Group acquired Derong Limited with the only key asset being the Huabei Kuangye Project. As
the acquisition of Derong Limited is not deemed a business acquisition, the transaction must be
accounted for as a share based payment for the net assets acquired.
When an asset acquisition does not constitute a business combination, the assets and liabilities are
assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction and
no deferred tax will arise in relation to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the initial
recognition exemption for deferred tax under AASB 112 applies. No goodwill will arise on the
acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition will be included in the capitalised cost of the asset.
The grant date fair value of share-based payment is recognised as an expense with a corresponding
increase in equity, over the period that the recipient unconditionally becomes entitled to the awards.
The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the
related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that, the amount
ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that do not meet the related
service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
The Group follows the guidelines of AASB 2 ‘Share-based payments’ and takes into account all
performance conditions and estimates the probability and expected timing of achieving these
performance conditions. Accordingly, the expense recognised over the vesting period may vary
based upon information available and estimates made at each reporting period, until the expiry of the
vesting period.

2. INCOME TAX
No income tax is payable by the Company entities as it recorded a loss for income tax purposes for the
period.
(b) Numerical reconciliation between income tax expense and the loss before income tax.
The prima facie income tax benefit on pre-tax accounting loss from operations reconciles to the income tax
expense in the financial statements as follows:
A deferred tax asset attributable to income tax losses has not been recognised at balance date as the
probability criteria disclosed in Note 10 is not satisfied and such benefit will only be available if the conditions
of deductibility also disclosed in Note 10 are satisfied.
3. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Group operates predominately in the mineral exploration industry. For management purposes, the
Group is organised into one main operating segment which involves the exploration for minerals in Mongolia.
All of the Group’s activities are inter-related and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief
Operating Decision Maker) as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based
upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the
financial results of the Group as a whole.

4. EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic and diluted loss per share (cents per share) (2.5) (14.6)
The loss and weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per
share is as follows:
Loss for the year (1,634,347) (263,114)
There is no dilution of shares due to options as the potential ordinary shares are not dilutive and are
therefore not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share.
Cash at bank earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents
comprise cash on hand and at bank.
Cash and cash equivalents as shown in the cash flow statement are
reconciled to the related items in the balance sheet as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents 1,775,780 43,113
(ii) Reconciliation of loss after income tax to net cash flows from
operating activities:
During the year the following significant non-cash financing and investing activities occurred:
• 51,427,850 shares in consideration for his shares in Derong Mining Limited as part of the capital
reorganisation; and
• $1,419,011 of liabilities were satisfied by the issue of shares.
• $1,484,125 of related party loans were extinguished by the issue of shares.

6. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Current
Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to be the same as
their fair value.
Information about the impairment of trade and other receivables, their credit quality and the Group’s
exposure to credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk can be found in Note 15.
The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation phases is dependent on the
successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective mining areas.
Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30 to 60 day terms.
The carrying amounts of trade and other payables are assumed to be the same as their fair values, due to
their short-term nature.

The convertible notes were issued on 24 December 2013, has a face value of RMB 10,000,000, bears
interest of 5% paid annually in arrears, may be converted into shares in the Company at $0.20 and is
repayable on 11 November 2017 unless converted into shares in the Company prior to this time.
The convertible note has an embedded option to convert the notes into shares in the Company, which is a
derivatives that is required to be separated. The embedded option has been separated and is carried at fair
value through profit or loss.
The value of the derivative fluctuates with the group’s share price and as the notes are denominated in RMB,
the change in exchange rate with the AUD is also taken in to account when deriving the fair value movement
during the year. Refer to note 9 (c) and 15 for details of fair value and sensitivity analysis.
Loans have been provided by the shareholders and do not have terms. Refer to Note 12(d).
Management assessed that the fair values of cash trade receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities
approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The fair value of the equity-settled share options embedded in the convertibles notes are estimated using the
Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of the embedded options are recognised in profit or loss.
The Black Scholes Option Pricing Model assumes that the Securities the subject of the valuation can be sold
on a secondary market. The terms and conditions of the convertible notes state that application will be made
for the Shares to be listed for official quotation on ASX if the options are exercised.
The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise
patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is
indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of
options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.
The following table lists the assumptions to the model used for the year ended 31 December 2014.
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities, including
their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and
financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair
value. The different valuation methods are called hierarchies and they are described below:
Prior to 31 October 2014, the number of shares on issue are reflective of the PGGR Group. Thereafter the
capital reorganisation, including the initial public offering on 31 October 2014, the share capital structure is
reflective of the entire Group.

the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of
the Directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Company, the results of those
operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in the future.
The Group’s financial situation is not complex. Its activities may expose it to a variety of financial risks in the
future: market risk (including currency risk and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash
flow interest rate risk. At that stage the Group’s overall risk management program will focus on the
unpredictability of the financial markets and seek to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial
performance of the Group.

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from cash to be applied to exploration expenditure. Deposits at
variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Deposits at fixed rates expose the Group to
fair value interest rate risk. During the period, the Group’s deposits at variable rates were denominated in
Australian and Singaporean Dollars. The Group does not use derivatives to mitigate these exposures.
As at the reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate deposits and there were no interest rate
swap contracts outstanding:

The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that as far as possible it maintains excess cash and cash equivalents
in high bearing accounts.
Sensitivity
During the period, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower than the prevailing rates realised,
with all other variables held constant, there would be an immaterial change in post-tax profit for the year.
The Group is exposed to currency risk primarily through having operations in Mongolia and Singapore which
incur expenses denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. The currency giving rise to
this risk is Chinese Renminbi.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 Tian Poh Resources Limited
All the Group’s borrowings, other than amounts due to directors, are denominated Chinese Renminbi.
The following table details the Group’s exposure at the reporting date to currency risk arising from
recognised liabilities denominated in a Chinese Renminbi.

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in RMB exchange rate, with
all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair
value of monetary assets and liabilities including embedded derivatives.
Change in
RMB Effect on
Exchange Profit Effect on
Rate Before Tax Equity
2013 +10% - -
-10% - -
The movement in the pre-tax effect is a result of a change in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in MTN and RMB.
In relation to the convertible note derivative the group have used an equity price change of 80% upper and
lower representing a reasonable possible change based on potential share price volatility. No equity price
change has been assessed for 2013 as the convertible note derivative was only assumed in the 2014 period.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Cash transactions are limited to high credit quality
financial institutions. The credit rating for the group’s Australian financial institution is AA-.
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well
as credit exposures on outstanding receivables and committed transactions. In relation to other credit risk
areas management assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past
experience and other factors.
At the reporting date, there are no impaired trade receivables, and no trade receivables past due but not
impaired.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as
summarised at the beginning of this note.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching
the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Group will aim at maintaining flexibility in funding
by accessing appropriate committed credit lines available from different counterparties where appropriate
and possible. Surplus funds when available are generally only invested in high credit quality financial
institutions in highly liquid markets.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities excluding the impact of netting
arrangements:

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising
the return to shareholders. The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to equity
holders, comprising issued capital and retained earnings as disclosed in note 10.
The Board reviews the capital structure on a regular basis and considers the cost of capital and the risks
associated with each class of capital. The Group will balance its overall capital structure through new share
issues as well as the issue of debt, if the need arises.

One of the Group companies, Mandal-Urgukh Co Ltd (a company incorporated in Mongolia) has been issued
with an alleged tax liability of approximately MNT354,000,000 or A$206,770 for breach of non-declaration of
taxable incomes from the General Department of Taxation (Tax Liability). The Group is contesting the
liability.
Other than the matter noted above, the Group had no material contingent liabilities or contingent assets at 31
December 2014 or at the date of this report. In the ordinary course of business, the Group occasionally
receives claims arising from its activities. In the opinion of the Directors, all such matters are without merit or
are of such a kind or involve such amounts that would not have a material adverse impact on the operating
results or financial position if settled unfavourably.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 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.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s
preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the company’s internal control. 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.
