Interim report
for the period ended 31 December
2015
Directors’ Report
Your Directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of Aeris Resources
Limited (the Company) previously known as Straits Resources Limited and the entities it
controlled at the end of, or during the half-year ended 31 December 2015 and where
required, the previous corresponding period for the half-year ended 31 December 2014.
Directors
The Directors of the Company in office during the financial period and up to the date of
this report were:
Current Directors at date of the report
Willie André Labuschagne
William Edward Alastair Morrison
Michele Muscillo
Principal Activities
The principal activities of the consolidated entity for the period ended 31 December 2015
were the production and sale of copper, gold and silver and the exploration for copper and
gold. Other than as referred to in the review of operations, there were no significant changes
in those activities during the financial period.
Dividend
The Directors do not recommend payment of a dividend for the period to 31 December 2015.
No dividend was paid during the period.
Operating and Financial Review
Operations
During the period under review, the focus on improving operational performance at the
Tritton Copper Mine (Tritton) in New South Wales continued. Both the mining operations and
processing plant performed strongly with the processing plant setting a new quarterly record
of 454,404 tonnes of Copper ore milled in the December quarter, producing 15,254 tonnes of
Copper in concentrate in the period (Dec 2014: 14,916 tonnes of Copper in concentrate
produced). This follows the record annual production achieved during the 30 June 2015
financial year of 30,245 tonnes of copper metal.
The priority operational focus continued to be centred on improving reliability of the mine
equipment fleet. In December 2015, the Company placed orders to purchase a new truck
fleet which will replace the current ageing and high cost units. The first two new 63t
underground trucks were added to the fleet in December.
Ongoing productivity initiatives focussed on increased production and lower costs are
underway.
The total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) has fallen to 20.4 as at 31 December 2015,
continuing to further improve on the TRIFR levels of the past two years.
1
Exploration
The Company currently hold 184,600 hectares in the prospective Tritton VMS district. This is
made up of four granted exploration and three mining leases. Six major mafic complexes
have been identified within a sequence of sedimentary rocks with a combined strike length
of greater than 100km. Numerous anomalies have been identified and remain untested in
the Tritton region.
An exploration strategy has been steadily evolving for the region and has been extremely
effective in both identifying and testing for VMS sulphide systems as demonstrated by the
Company’s exploration success at Avoca Tank, Kurrajong, Carters and Budgery.
The quality of the remaining targets in the Tritton region and the potential for further
discoveries in this large VMS copper district is excellent. The Company’s previous success and
the knowledge that Besshi VMS systems like Tritton are characterised by repeats along strike,
multiple horizons and lenses and significant depth potential gives the company great
confidence for the discovery of additional deposits along the multiple prospective horizons
within the Tritton region.
Tritton Deeps
A drilling program has commenced to better define the orebody below 4,200mRL, known as
“Tritton Deeps”. The Tritton Deeps project is a multi-phase drill program designed to test
mineralisation continuity below current drilling information and extend the Mineral Resource
Inventory to the 3,800mRL level.
The initial Tritton Deeps Phase 1 drill program has recently been completed with the results
announced to the ASX on 2 October 2015 (correction announced 20 October 2015).
The second phase of the Tritton Deeps drilling program has commenced, the intent being to
drill out the Tritton orebody to 40m x 40m drill spacing between the 4,200mRL to 4,000mRL.
Financial Results
The Group recorded a profit after tax for the 6 month period to 31 December 2015 of $28.1
million (Dec 2014: loss of $21.3 million). The result was impacted by a number of key factors
including:
Gain on debt restructure of Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) Debt facility positively
impacted the result by $45.9 million;
Revenue from continuing operations amounted to $92.2 million compared to $88.6 million
in the previous corresponding period. This was directly due to timing impacts of
concentrate sale shipments, with the prior period’s revenue at 31 December 2014 not
being able to be recognised (ca. 11,003 wmt of Copper with an invoice value of
approximately $13.6 million). The increased revenue recognition was however offset by
lower copper prices achieved in the period compared to the previous period;
Cost of goods sold have increased from $79.5 million at December 2014 to $97.7 million at
31 December 2015, due to increased treatment and refining costs and inventory
movements as a result of timing of copper shipments and increased amortisation due to
increased tonnes mined and sequence of mining activities;
Foreign exchange impacts on the Restructured US denominated Bridge Loan and
Working Capital Facility with SCB as well as Convertible Notes with Credit Suisse ($8.9
million) was lower than in the prior period ($20.5 million), due to the AUD:USD depreciating
by 5% in current period compared to 10% in prior period.
2
Financial Position
The positive net asset position of the Group at 31 December 2015 was $31.597 million
(negative net assets at 30 June 2015 were $27.180 million), mainly due to Restructure of the
SCB debt which was approved by Shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM)
on 15 December 2015.
Restructure of SCB Debt
On 3 August 2015 it was announced that, the company, the Existing Lender Group and
Special Opportunity V Limited (PAG SPV), as the New Lender, had entered into binding
agreements, which, were subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent,
including shareholders approval.
At the EGM held on 15 December 2015 Straits Resources Limited (now Aeris Resources
Limited) shareholders approved all resolutions put forward, including:
Change of name to Aeris Resources Limited;
Restructure of the debt with Standard Chartered Bank (SCB); and
1 for 10 consolidation of capital (Ordinary shares).
On 15 December 2015, the Company advised that all relevant conditions precedent to the
longer term debt structure had been fulfilled by the shareholder approvals received at the
EGM, resulting in the completion of the debt restructure on 31 December 2015. The debt
restructure being completed resulted in the Company:
Reducing its Senior Debt with SCB to US$50 million (a 55% reduction);
Establishing a new 3 year Working Capital Facility for US$25 million with Special
Opportunity V Limited (PAG SPV);
Redeeming at face value, US$1.047 million of the US$7.200 million Convertible Notes
held by Credit Suisse International, with the remainder being converted to 24,500,000
(post consolidation) ordinary shares in the Company. Redemption occurred on 4
January 2016 and the ordinary shares were issued on 8 January 2016;
Granting a price participation structure to SCB whereby SCB will receive a small
percentage incremental revenue above a copper price of A$8,000 per tonne;
Issuing Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares to SCB equivalent to 60% of the
issued capital of the Company on a post-refinancing fully diluted basis; and
Issuing Convertible Non-Redeemable Preference Shares to PAG SPV equivalent to15%
of the issued capital of the Company on a post-refinancing fully diluted basis.
The Debt Restructure was formally completed on 31 December 2015.
With this New Funding, its Restructured Senior Debt and concomitant reduced interest
repayments, the Company Group’s business plan indicates that it will be able to generate
sufficient cash flow to:
Service its obligations in relation to the New Funding;
Meet its current working capital requirements; and
Meet its critical capital expenditure requirements, which will help the Company
increase its resources/reserves and extend the life of Tritton Copper Operations.
In addition the Company also announced on 6 October 2015 that it has signed a binding
agreement with Sandfire Resources NL (ASX:SFR) for the sale of its interest in the Temora and
Currumburrama exploration projects in New South Wales for A$2.500 million (payable in
Sandfire shares). The completion of this sale will further improve the company’s cash flow. The
sale was finalised on 4 January 2016 and subsequently all Sandfire shares, received as
consideration have been sold.
3
Events Subsequent to Balance Date
On 4 January 2016 the company announced the completion of sale of Temora and
Currumburrama exploration projects.
On 4 January 2016, the company also partially redeemed USD 1.047 million of its Credit Suisse
International Convertible Notes and the remainder of the notes were converted into
24,500,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company (on a post consolidated basis) at 8 January 2016.
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial period and the date of
this report, any matter or circumstance that has significantly affected or may significantly
affect the operations of the consolidated entity; the results of those operations; or the state of
affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years.
Outlook
The Company is targeting production of 28,000 tonnes of copper at its Tritton operations
in FY2016.
In the year ahead, the focus on maintaining a high level of mining and processing
throughput and cost management will continue.

1 Basis of preparation of half-year report
The interim financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Aeris Resources Limited ('the
Company') and its subsidiaries ("the Group").
This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the six month reporting period ended 31 December 2015
has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the
Corporations Act 2001.
This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included
in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this financial report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report of
the Group for the year ended 30 June 2015 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.
The annual report for the year ended 30 June 2015 is accessible at www.aerisresources.com.au.

thousand dollars unless otherwise stated, under the option available to the Company under Class Order 98/100,
issued by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. The Company is an entity to which the class
order applies.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern which contemplates continuity of
normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of
business.
The Directors believe they have reasonable grounds to expect that they will have sufficient funds to settle the
Group's liabilities and meet its debts as and when they fall due. In their assessment of going concern the
Directors have considered the funding and operational status of the business, including consideration of the
following:
•
•
•
•
The successful restructure of the SCB debt facility with a reduction to US$50.000 million resulting in a
net asset position of $31.597 million as at 31 December 2015 (June 2015: net liability of $27.180
million);
The establishment of a US$25.000 million debt facility with PAG SPV of which only US$1.000 million
was drawn in December;
Continuing to achieve operational and cost targets of Tritton operations with copper production for the
period ended 31 December 2015, with output of 15,107 tonnes, exceeding the original guidance of

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(ii) Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the entity
None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial
year beginning 1 July 2015 affect any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are
not likely to affect future periods. The Company has not early adopted any amendments, standards or
interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June
2016 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Company.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets
and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting. In December 2014, the AASB made
further changes to the classification and measurement rules and also introduced a new impairment model. These
latest amendments now complete the new financial instruments standard. The standard applies to reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The new hedging rules align hedge accounting more closely with
the Company’s risk management practices. As a general rule it will be easier to apply hedge accounting going
forward as the standard introduces a more principles-based approach. The new standard also introduces
expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. The new impairment model is an expected
credit loss (ECL) model which may result in the earlier recognition of credit losses. The Company has not yet
assessed the impacts of the new accounting standard on the Company’s financial statements.
AASB15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, will replace AASB 118 Revenue which covers revenue
recognition of contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 Construction Contracts which covers construction
contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or
service transfers to a customer - so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. The
standard permits a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Under this approach entities will recognise
transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial application (eg 1 July 2017), ie without restating
the comparative period. They will only need to apply the new rules to contracts that are not completed as of the
date of initial application. The standard applies to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The
Company has not yet estimated the impact of the new rules on the Company’s financial statements.
IFRS 16 Leases addresses the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures of leases. This standard
provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases
unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify
leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s Leases approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged
from its predecessor, AASB 117 Leases. This standard applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2019. The Company has not yet assessed the impact for the Company of this new standard.
