2) Remuneration Policy
The Remuneration Committee, consisting of two non-executive directors, advises the Board on remuneration policies and
practices generally. The Committee can make recommendations
on remuneration packages and other terms of employment
for executive directors, non-executive directors and
senior executives.
Executive remuneration and other terms of employment are
reviewed by the Committee when necessary having regard to
performance, relevant comparative information and independent
expert advice. As well as a base salary, remuneration packages
include superannuation and use of motor vehicles.
During the year a performance aspect of executive
remuneration was implemented via the issue of share options
through the option plan. This will help to align executives’ goals
with that of the shareholders. The share price over the last five
years has increased by over 100% and production has grown
over the last 2 years by 300%.
Remuneration packages are set at levels that are intended
to attract and retain executives capable of managing the
consolidated entity’s operations.
The Board, within the maximum amount approved by
shareholders from time to time, determines remuneration of
non-executive directors. The fees have been determined by the
Board having regard to industry practice and the need to obtain
appropriately qualified persons. Non-executive directors are
also entitled to statutory superannuation.

agreements. At the end of each lease the entity has the option to purchase the equipment at a beneficial price. For the
additions in the group during the period, an amount of $2,768,595 (2007: $3,122,992) was in relation to assets under hire
purchase and finance lease. At 30 June 2008, the net carrying amount of leased plant and machinery was $7,175,641(2007:
$5,191,697). The lease equipment secures lease obligations.
Exploration, Evaluation and Development expenditure
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development
and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.
Independent Valuation
The valuation was conducted by I. H. Sandercock, BEng(Mining), MAusIMM (CP), MSME, MMICA, of Sandercock Associates
Pty Limited, consulting mining engineers and independent valuers of mining assets. Mr Sandercock is a mining engineer with
over 33 years experience in the area of mine operations and mine consulting. Sandercock Associates Pty Limited is a mineral
industry consulting group, specialising in independent due diligence reviews, valuations and technical audits of resources
and reserves, mining and processing operation, project feasibility studies and project management. He has no vested interest
in Citigold or the outcome of the valuation, and was paid a once-only, per diem fee for the valuation at normal industry rates.
The key assumptions used to derive this valuation are as follows:
Discount rate 12.5%
Gold Price AUD 750
Plant Recovery 95%
Grams per tonne (extracted) 8.74 to 9.13
Grams per tonne post ore sorting 9.13 to 17.90
Mine Life 15 years
Ounces produced (per annum) 50,009 to 310,490

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shareholders are entitled to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the company in proportion to
the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. Every ordinary shareholder present at a meeting in person or by proxy is
entitled to one vote on a show of hands or by poll.
Capital Risk Management
The Group considers its capital to comprise its ordinary share capital plus reserves.
In managing its capital, the Group’s primary objective is to ensure its continued ability to provide a return for its equity
shareholders through capital growth. In order to achieve this objective, the Group seeks to maintain a gearing ratio that
balances risks and returns at an acceptable level and also to maintain a sufficient funding base to enable the Group to meet
its working capital and strategic investment needs. In making decisions to adjust its capital structure to achieve these aims,
either through its new share issues, or the reduction of debt, the Group considers not only its short-term position but also its
long-term operational and strategic objectives.
It is the Group’s policy to maintain its gearing ratio within the range of 0 – 15% (2007: 0- 15%). The Group’s gearing ratio at
the balance sheet date is shown below:

Gearing Ratio 3.48% 2.72% 3.13% 2.24%
The increase in gearing has been brought about by the Board’s decision to take on additional debt finance to fund the
acquisition of new mining machinery during the year; the Group intends to maintain these gearing levels going forward.
There have been no other significant changes to the Group’s capital management objectives, policies and processes in the
year nor has there been any change in what the Group considers to be its capital.

Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2008
24. PRIOR PERIOD ERRORS
a) Application of AASB 112 Income Taxes
On adoption of IFRS in 2005 the Group should have recognised a deferred tax liability in respect of revaluations of
Development Property in accordance with AASB112 Income Taxes. Further in prior periods the Group has recognised
its deferred tax asset through equity in the Asset Revaluation Reserve. The Group was advised that this is the incorrect
treatment under AASB 112. The correct treatment is to recognise a deferred tax liability in respect to a revalued asset and to
recognise a deferred tax asset to the extent that they can be offset against the deferred tax liability.
The following equity accounts have been impacted by the change in policy on the consolidated and company financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2008.
Further impact of correcting the error are as follows:

b) EPS calculation
In the prior year financial report the disclosed EPS calculation included an incorrectly calculated weighted average number
of ordinary shares. The correction of this error together with the impact of correcting the recognised tax benefit results in a
restatement of the EPS as follows
Prior year EPS 1.78
Corrected EPS 1.18
25. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

d) Market Risk
Market risk arises from the use of foreign currency financial instruments. It is a risk that the fair value or future cash flows of
a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates (currency risk).
e) Interest rate risk
All loans have fixed interest rates, cash and cash equivalents are invested at variable interest rates subjecting the interest
amount received to interest rate risk. The balance in cash and cash equivalents will not drop regardless of the interest rate
therefore there is no down side interest rate risk.

the subsidiaries operate to determine whether there is objective evidence that the loan to each subsidiary is impaired. When
such objective evidence exists, the Company recognises an allowance for the impairment.

Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2008
30. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On 24 September 2008 the Company announced the placement of up to 18% of the outstanding shares to the Dubai Group
for $35 million. No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the year that have significantly affected,
or may significantly affect, the operations, results of operations or state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent
accounting periods.
31. GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As in previous financial periods, the ability of the
consolidated entity to meets its expenditure commitments and progress with its development and exploration program is
dependent upon production and continued capital raising.
32. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
During a prior accounting period, the Company entered into an agreement with the trustee of a related unit trust to pay future
royalties from gold production. The consideration received for the royalties payable in the future has been recorded as revenue.
The amount and timing of the payments by the entity is contingent on a number of future events and circumstances, such
as the future price of gold and the timing and amount of gold production. The effect of these circumstances cannot be
accurately predicted at the date of signing these financial statements. In general terms the minimum amount payable under
the agreement is nil and the maximum amount payable is 1.4% of the value of 40,000 ounces of gold plus one million dollars
($1,000,000). The one million dollars is currently being repaid at the rate of $25 per ounce of gold produced.
