Delta Coal: During the year, Altura continued to hold its interest in
the one-third owned Delta Coal mine on the island of Kalimantan in
Indonesia.
The Delta mine produces a medium energy thermal coal at a target
rate of 1.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). During the 2014/15
financial year, the mine actually produced 0.973 million tonnes (mt)
and sold 1.078 mt of coal. Production during the year was lower than
during the 2013/14 financial year due to development of new mining
areas and lower production from contractors during the second half
of the financial year.

PROJECTS
WITH SIMPLE
OPERATIONS
AND LOWER COST
STRUCTURES
Altura has undertaken several
important corporate activities
during the past year that will
reposition the company for future
growth and prosperity.
From a successful capital raising
through to several project
divestments, 201415 heralded
a period of consolidation, review
and implementation for Altura.
And while there have been
significant changes, Alturas
simple and well executed strategy
remains the same. The Company
continues to focus on projects
with simple operations and lower
cost structures.
Key highlights include:

CAPITAL RAISING
During April and May 2015, Altura
conducted a Non-Renounceable

b)
Goingconcern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of

At30June2015,theCompanyhad$3.3millionincashandtermdeposits,andhasforecastednegativeoperatingcash
flowsforthenext12months.
As such, the Companys ability to continue to adopt the going concern assumption will depend upon a number of
matters during the 2016 financial year such as raising further capital including by exercise of existing shareholders
options,successfulcompletionoftheinitialpublicofferingofitscoalassetsinSingapore,enteringintojointventureor

tenements.
Intheabsenceofasuccessfuloutcomeinthesematters,thereexistsamaterialuncertaintythattheGroupwouldbe
able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it would be able to realise its assets and extinguish its
liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. No adjustments have

In the event that the Group is unable to fund its planned expenditure on these tenements, there is a material

DIRECTORS' DECLARATION

PKF
PKF Hacketts
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Altura Mining Limited ("the company") and its Controlled
Entities ("the group") which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2015, the consolidated
statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Directors' declaration of the
group comprising the company and the entity it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial
year.
Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal
control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the Directors also state, in accordance with
Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
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 judgment, 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.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Opinion
In our opinion:
a) the financial report of Altura Mining Limited its Controlled Entities is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
giving a true and fair view of the group's financial position as at 30 June 2015 and of their
i.
performance for the year ended on that date; and
ii.
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. PKF lnternatio1al Limited administers a network of legally independent firms which carry on separate business

PKF
PKF Hacketts
We draw attention to Note 1 (b) in the financial report, which indicates that the group had $3.3 million in cash and
term deposits, and has forecasted negative operating cash flows for the next 12 months. These conditions, along
with other matters as set forth in Note 1 (b), indicate the existence of a significant uncertainty that may cast
significant doubt about the group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the group's may be unable
to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
b)
We draw attention to Note 1 (b) in the financial report, which indicates there is material uncertainty as to whether
the group would be able to continue the development and commercial exploitation of the tenements with the result
that the group may not be able to recover the carrying value of exploration expenditure for the amount recorded in
the financial report. The ultimate recovery of the carrying value of exploration expenditure, and future exploration
expenditure, is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of
the interest in the tenements.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages xx to xx of the Directors' Report for the year ended
30 June 2015. The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Remuneration Report in accordance with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian
Auditing Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion the Remuneration Report of Altura Mining Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015, complies with
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
