- Going concern basis
For the year ended 30 June 2016, the Group recorded a net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company of HK$627,158,000 and had operating cash outflows of HK$45,147,000. The loss for the year was primarily attributable to the impairment losses recognsied on the mining rights in the PRC as well as mining properties in Australia as a result of sustained weakness noted in both copper and iron ore prices. As at 30 June 2016, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by HK$39,347,000, and its cash and cash equivalents was reduced from HK$98,297,000 as at 30 June 2015 to HK$32,772,000.
For the year ended 30 June 2016, all of the Group's revenue were derived from its sales of copper ore concentrates produced from its copper mine in PRC for which the production was put on halt since January 2016. On 1 September 2016, the Group announced that in light of the sustained copper price weakness and the potential increase in capital expenditure to meet the new local requirements for environmental protection in the PRC, the directors resolved that it will no longer finance the continuing development of its copper mine in the PRC.
The Group intends to focus its resources on developing its core iron ore mining projects in Western Australia (the "Marillana project"), which is currently still at the exploration and evaluation stage. Before commencement of commercial production of the Marillana project, the Group would require significant amounts of financing for its development which are currently yet to be secured.
