Notes:  1. All references to dollars or $ in this release is to Australian 
currency (unless otherwise specified). 2. Free cash flow is determined as cash 
flow before net proceeds from issue of shares, debt rescheduling costs, 
proceeds/repayments of borrowings and payments to the debt service reserve 
account. 
 
  * Sales volumes of 480,538 tonnes of ilmenite, 85,536 tonnes of rutile and 
    33,062 tonnes of zircon, representing the top end of the guidance range. 
  * Sales revenue was $169.0 million, achieving an average price of product 
    sold (rutile, ilmenite and zircon) of $282 per tonne, or US$205 per tonne, 
    (2015: $309 per tonne or US$256 per tonne).  Lower average sale prices 
    reflect the challenging market conditions faced by mineral sands producers 
    for much of the reporting period. 
  * Total cost of goods sold increased to $86.6 million (2015: $73.3 million) 
    driven largely by the 27% increase in sales volume, at an average cost of 
    $144 per tonne, or US$105 per tonne of product sold, (2015: $155 per tonne 
    or US$130 per tonne).  The reduction in operating costs per tonne produced 
    to $121 per tonne, or US$88 per tonne, (2015: $124 per tonne or US$103 per 
    tonne) is reflective of a sharp focus on cost management. 
  * The Kwale Operation achieved a revenue to cost of sales ratio of 2:1, 
    comfortably positioning it in the first quartile of mineral sands 
    producers. 
  * Cash flow from operations was $78.6 million for 2016 (2015: $38.2 million), 
    higher than Group EBITDA, predominately driven by a decrease in receivables 
    of $10.9 million during the reporting period, associated with $10.3 million 
    of Kenyan operational VAT refunds and timing of sales receipts. 
  * Free cash flow of $46.7 million contributed to the overall reduction in net 
    debt of $48.9 million.  Repayments of $31.7 million (US$23.5 million) were 
    made against the Kwale Operation Debt Facility, reducing the outstanding 
    balance to US$180.5 million. 
 
1.            Review of Operations 
 
Base Resources operates the 100% owned Kwale Operation in Kenya, which 
commenced production in late 2013.  The Kwale Operation is located 10 
kilometres inland from the Kenyan coast and 50 kilometres south of Mombasa, the 
principal port facility for East Africa. 
 
During the reporting period, mining activity continued in the high grade 
regions of the Central Dune, close to the processing plant, except for three 
months mining lower grade perimeter blocks.  The average ore grade mined was 
8.3% heavy mineral ("HM") for the year.  Mining activities will remain focused 
on the Central Dune deposit for the next four years of the operation, before 
transitioning to the South Dune for the remainder of the mine life. 
 
The coming year will see the introduction of a second mining unit, a 400tph 
hydraulic mining unit ("HMU").  Operating dual mining units will enable 
concurrent mining of high grade ore with the existing dozer-trap mining unit (" 
DMU") and allow access to lower grade perimeter blocks more cost effectively 
utilising the HMU.  This is expected to produce a blended average ore grade 
lower than achieved this year and result in a higher mining volume to maintain 
heavy mineral concentrate ("HMC") production. 
 
The Kwale Operation is designed to process ore to recover three separate 
products - rutile, ilmenite and zircon.  Ore is received at the wet 
concentrator plant ("WCP") from the mining units via a slurry pipeline.  The 
WCP removes slimes at a particle size less than 45?m, concentrates the valuable 
heavy minerals (rutile, ilmenite and zircon) and rejects most of the 
non-valuable, lighter gangue minerals.  The WCP incorporates a number of 
gravity separation steps using spiral concentrators.  The HMC, containing 90% 
heavy minerals, is then processed in the mineral separation plant ("MSP"). The 
MSP cleans and separates the rutile, ilmenite and zircon minerals and removes 
any remaining gangue.

With the consistent achievement of design availabilities and throughputs in the 
WCP, and the high average grade of ore mined, HMC production of 734,431 tonnes 
was achieved in the reporting period.  HMC production exceeded MSP consumption, 
allowing the continued building of a HMC stockpile to mitigate risk and 
optimise future production.  At year end, the HMC stockpile was 139,364 tonnes. 
 
During the reporting period, 709,443 tonnes of HMC was fed into the MSP to 
produce 455,870 tonnes of ilmenite, 85,654 tonnes of rutile and 31,389 tonnes 
of zircon.  The successful completion of a number of MSP upgrade projects, 
together with ongoing process optimisation, has yielded benefits in both 
throughput and downstream recoveries of rutile and zircon during the reporting 
period.  Having achieved design recovery levels for all products, ongoing MSP 
optimisation is expected to yield sustained increases in feed rates above 90tph 
in the 2017 financial year. 
 
Ilmenite production continued at above design capacity due to the combination 
of increased MSP feed rates and high recoveries.  Following the installation of 
an additional MSP magnet stage in November 2015, ilmenite recovery reduced from 
a pre-upgrade average of 110% to an average of 102% for the remainder of the 
year, still exceeding design.  The additional magnet stage had the effect of 
removing rutile from ilmenite product and creating a high chrome stream, which 
is now rejected to enhance product quality.  Ilmenite production continues to 
benefit from the proportionally higher ilmenite content (but lower rutile 
content) of the high grade ore in the Central Dune, a feature of the Kwale 
deposit. 
 
Rutile production exceeded the 80,000 tonnes per annum design target for the 
first time in the reporting period, thanks to the higher MSP feed rates and 
ongoing optimisation of recoveries, aided by the MSP upgrade projects.  Average 
rutile recovery for the reporting period was 99%, surpassing design 
expectations. 
 
With some altered ilmenite species, that are not defined as either ilmenite or 
rutile in the resource, being recovered in the production of both, calculated 
recoveries (or yields) of over 100% are achievable for both ilmenite and 
rutile. 
 
Zircon production continued its steady improvement throughout the reporting 
period, in line with the planned ramp-up schedule, and ultimately exceeded the 
30,000 tonne design target, driven by the combination of achieving design 
recovery (77.8%) and the increased MSP feed rate.  Zircon recoveries averaged 
78% in the last quarter and reached as high as 80% in June. 
 
2.            Marketing & Sales 
 
Base Resources has a number of off-take agreements across each of its three 
product streams spanning between one and six years of production of the Kwale 
Operation.  The agreements are with some of the world's largest consumers of 
titanium dioxide minerals and zircon products, including a cornerstone 
agreement with Chemours (formerly DuPont Titanium Technologies). 
 
The agreements provide off-take security for the Kwale Operation, and contain 
firm minimum annual offtake volumes subject to annual Base Resources' 
production forecasts.  Pricing is derived from prevailing market prices, based 
on agreed price indices or periodic price negotiations, with some agreements 
offering downside protection in the form of floor prices. 
 
In the reporting period, Base Resources sold almost 600,000 tonnes of product 
from the Kwale Operation, with shipments being made to a combination of 
customers with existing offtake agreements, regular customers buying on a spot 
basis and some new spot customers buying Base Resources' products for the first 
time. 
 
The appointment of a Chinese distributor for ilmenite in early 2015 has 
assisted Base Resources in continuing to build its market presence in China - 
the world's largest ilmenite market - through the 2016 financial year.  During 
the reporting period, Base Resources became the largest importer of ilmenite 
into China, having sold almost 450,000 tonnes in the 2016 financial year. 
Solid relationships have been established with major Chinese ilmenite consumers 
who now comprise a mix of shorter term contracts (one to three-year duration) 
and regular spot customers.  Base Resources maintains a strong focus on 
servicing the Chinese market and continues to expand its customer base with 
further trial lots of ilmenite being evaluated by new customers. 
 
Despite challenging market conditions for much of the reporting period, sales 
volumes increased significantly over the comparable period to match production 
growth.  A solid improvement in the global titanium dioxide pigment market 
through the first half of the 2016 calendar year led to a high level of demand 
for Base Resources ilmenite and rutile in the June 2016 quarter.  This has kept 
stocks at minimal levels and provided a solid base for price improvement during 
the 2017 financial year. 
 
During the March quarter of 2016, Base Resources received a force majeure 
notice from an ilmenite customer and a volume reduction notice from a rutile 
customer.  In both cases the impact was to defer or cancel a significant 
portion of previously agreed sales volumes for the remainder of calendar 2016. 
Alternative sales have been secured to fully cover the shortfall arising from 
these notices, aided by the strengthening demand for titanium dioxide 
feedstocks experienced towards the end of the reporting period. 
 
Unlike the titanium dioxide feedstock markets, conditions for zircon remained 
subdued through the reporting period.  Despite the ongoing over-supplied 
market, Base Resources has had sustained solid demand for zircon from its 
small, but loyal, customer base. 
 
3.            Market Outlook 
 
Ilmenite and rutile are primarily used as feed stock for the production of 
titanium dioxide pigment, with a small percentage also used in the production 
of titanium metal and fluxes for welding rods and wire.  Pigment makes up over 
90% of titanium minerals demand and is the main driver of pricing.  Titanium 
dioxide is the most widely used white pigment because of its non-toxicity, 
brightness and very high refractive index. It is an essential component of 
consumer products such as paint, plastics and paper. 
 
Global consumption of pigment has maintained a long term average growth rate 
closely correlated to global GDP, or approximately 3% per annum.  However, 
volatility in the global economy in recent years has created significant 
fluctuations in this growth rate, manifesting in big swings in inventory levels 
throughout the entire pigment supply chain.  A growing supply deficit, compared 
with demand, over the past year appears to have resulted in global pigment 
inventories falling below normal levels for the first time in several years. 
Growth in pigment consumption, together with re-stocking activity, has resulted 
in pigment demand surging by more than 7% year-on-year, and substantial price 
improvements being reported in the first half of calendar year 2016.  This has 
percolated through the supply chain and translated into strengthening feedstock 
demand by the end of the reporting period.  As a consequence, feedstock levels 
have been drawn down at a more rapid pace than expected and tightness has 
emerged in feedstock markets for the first time since the Kwale Operation 
commenced production. 
 
The ilmenite feedstock market has become particularly constrained owing to the 
further constrictions in supply and growth in ilmenite-intensive Chinese 
sulphate pigment production that has occurred over the reporting period.  As a 
result, ilmenite prices are responding positively, allowing Base Resources to 
lock in substantial price increases for shipments in the September 2016 
quarter. 
 
Conditions for rutile also tightened by year end, although current supply and 
stocks appear adequate to meet demand in the immediate future. 
 
Current analysis suggests that excess global inventories of titanium dioxide 
feedstocks, which have weighed heavily on prices over the past couple of years, 
should return to normal levels by the end of calendar year 2016.  In the 
absence of substantial new feedstock supply coming online, the titanium dioxide 
feedstock market is expected to begin a period of structural supply deficit, 
providing an opportunity for price growth in both ilmenite and rutile over the 
next few years. 
 
Zircon has a range of end-uses, the largest of which is ceramic tiles, which 
accounts for more than 50% of global zircon consumption.  Milled zircon enables 
ceramic tile manufacturers to achieve brilliant opacity, whiteness and 
brightness in their products. Zircon's unique properties include heat and wear 
resistance, stability, opacity, hardness and strength. These properties mean it 
is also sought after for other applications such as refractories, foundries and 
specialty chemicals. 
 
Demand growth for zircon is closely linked to growth in global construction and 
increasing urbanisation in the developing world. After a sharp downturn in 
2012, major zircon suppliers have attempted to match their supply to demand 
since 2013, keeping prices relatively stable until early 2016.  However, with 
demand remaining sluggish and supply growing from new sources, one major zircon 
supplier reduced prices by approximately US$100 per tonne in March 2016, 
forcing others to follow.  Despite attempts to subsequently increase pricing, 
subdued demand and excess inventories are expected to keep prices flat at 
current levels throughout the 2017 financial year. 
 
Any potential uplift in zircon prices remains dependent on firmer than expected 
economic growth in the major markets of China, USA and Europe, and on a more 
controlled response from major zircon producers in managing their production 
and stocks.

(i) Base Resources' financial results are reported under International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These Financial Statements include 
certain non-IFRS measures including EBITDA, EBIT and NPAT. These measures are 
presented to enable understanding of the underlying performance of the Group 
and have not been audited. 
 
Base Resources recorded a loss after tax of $20.9 million for the year ended 30 
June 2016, compared with $16.0 million in 2015.  Sales revenue was $169.0 
million for 2016 (2015: $145.5 million), achieving an average price of product 
sold (rutile, ilmenite and zircon) of $282 per tonne or US$205 per tonne (2015: 
$309 per tonne or US$256 per tonne).  Total cost of goods sold was $86.6 
million for 2016 (2015: $73.3 million), at an average cost of $144 per tonne 
(US$105 per tonne) of product sold (2015: $155 per tonne or US$130 per tonne). 
Operating costs per tonne produced for 2016 was $121 per tonne or US$88 per 
tonne (2015: $124 per tonne or US$103 per tonne). 
 
With an achieved revenue to cost of sales ratio of 2:1, the Kwale Operation is 
well positioned in the upper quarter of mineral sands producers. Having reached 
design recoveries for rutile and zircon in 2016, it is expected that, when 
combined with higher MSP throughput rates, production of these high value 
products will increase in 2017, further improving the revenue to cost ratio. 
 
Despite lower commodity prices, increased production and sales volumes and a 
sharp focus on cost management has delivered a Kwale Operation EBITDA of $68.0 
million (2015: $62.4 million) and a Group EBITDA of $60.6 million for 2016 
(2015: $55.0 million). 
 
A net loss after tax of $6.4 million (2015: $6.0 million) was recorded by the 
Kwale Operation and $20.9 million (2015: $16.0 million) for the Group.  Loss 
per share for the Group was 3.41 cents (2015: 2.85 cents). 
 
Cash flow from operations was $78.6 million for 2016 (2015: $38.2 million), 
higher than Group EBITDA predominately driven by a decrease in receivables of 
$10.9 million during the reporting period, associated with $10.3 million of 
Kenyan operational VAT refunds and timing of sales receipts. 
 
In December 2015, the Kwale Project Debt Facility ("Debt Facility") was 
rescheduled in order to establish a repayment profile more appropriate to the 
commodity price environment.  Under the terms of the reschedule, 
US$14 million of the Debt Facility was paid down on execution, with a further 
US$9.5 million scheduled repayment made in June 2016, reducing the outstanding 
debt to US$180.5 million. Total debt outstanding, inclusive of the Taurus Debt
