in tenement acquisiti<strong>on</strong> costs also relates to the Sandst<strong>on</strong>e acquisiti<strong>on</strong> and the related 985km 2 explorati<strong>on</strong><br />

portfolio acquired through that acquisiti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

In the nine m<strong>on</strong>ths to 31 March 2013, SXG has recorded a loss <strong>of</strong> $6.49 milli<strong>on</strong> which equates to $8.65<br />

milli<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> an annualised basis. This represents a 40% increase in the loss recorded at 30 June 2011 and a<br />

51% increase in the loss recorded for the 30 June 2012 financial year.<br />

The primary reas<strong>on</strong>s for the increase in the loss are a reducti<strong>on</strong> in revenue from the sale <strong>of</strong> tenements and<br />

an increase in explorati<strong>on</strong> and development expenditure. Gains <strong>on</strong> the sale <strong>of</strong> tenements generated $1.83<br />

milli<strong>on</strong> in 2011 and $1.93 milli<strong>on</strong> in 2012 but <strong>on</strong>ly $0.04 milli<strong>on</strong> in the nine m<strong>on</strong>ths to 31 March 2013.<br />

Explorati<strong>on</strong> and pre-development expenditure increased from $6.34 milli<strong>on</strong> for the year ended 30 June<br />

2011 to $6.79 milli<strong>on</strong>, annualised, for the financial year 2013. This expenditure increase is driven by the<br />

increased activity at the Marda Gold project and following the completi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> the definitive feasibility<br />

study in May 2012 the Marda Gold project is moving into a pre-development stage which results in the<br />

segregati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> expenses in the pr<strong>of</strong>it and loss between explorati<strong>on</strong> and pre-development.<br />

Corporate expenses and salaries and employee benefits expense have been classified as administrati<strong>on</strong><br />

expenses at 31 December 2012 and 31 March 2013.<br />
