Operating Result
The Group incurred an after tax loss for the half-year ended 30 June 2018 of $4,063,577 (30 June 2017: loss of $2,872,589).
Review of operations
Corporate
During the reporting period, the Company successfully completed a dual listing on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange (AIM), whilst also completing a capital raise totalling $6.5 million (before costs) in April 2018.
Borborema Gold Project
During the half-year Crusader announced an update to its ongoing technical and financial optimisation of its 100% owned Borborema Gold Project located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte in North Eastern Brazil which delivered results, including the following highlights:
-- Net present value of US$117.8M, discounted at 8%. -- Internal rate of return of 31%, based on a gold price of US$1,300/oz. -- Gold production over ten years of 701koz with expected annual average production of 70koz. -- Cash cost of production estimated at US$724/oz with all in sustaining cost of US$908/oz.
-- Pre-production capital expenditure for a planned 2Mtpa capacity CIL plant and associated infrastructure projected to be US$93.4M.
The optimisation update is based on processing 2Mtpa of an initial 20Mt of ore for an initial 10 year period. The initial development exploits the upper lens of the Borborema deposit, approximately half of the current ore reserve of 42Mt @ 1.18g/t. The initial 20Mt of ore optimises the project at current gold prices, minimises waste movement, capital expenditure and operational risks and does not prevent the future development of the deeper reserves.
Refer to the Company's ASX announcements of 8 February 2018 and 11 April 2018 for further information.
The Company announced an update to its Ore Reserve estimate for the Borborema Gold Project in compliance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition) and using economic inputs as at 31 December 2017. The update fully supports the previously reported Ore Reserve estimate and was prepared in connection with the admission to AIM.

Reported at a 0.4 g/t cut-off for oxide and 0.5g/t cut-off for fresh material. The cut-off grades have been based on the latest costs, gold price of US$1301/oz. Note, appropriate rounding has been applied, subtotals may not equal total figures.
Refer to the Company's ASX announcements of 6 March 2018, 29 March 2018 and 11 April 2018 for further information.
During the period the Company progressed a number of key initiatives in connection with the Borborema bankable feasibility study. These include metallurgical technical optimisation of the processing outcome through ongoing metallurgical testing conducted by the ALS Laboratories in Perth, finalisation of the installation licence application from the Rio Grande do Norte State Governmental Department (IDEMA) in Brazil and defining the mandate and seeking expressions of interest from globally recognised engineering contractors.
As part of the metallurgical optimisation work, the Company completed a review and the recommissioning of test work to support the processing flowsheet and finalise additional processing cost saving opportunities.
Metallurgical test work is focused on a detailed metallurgical sampling program comprising eight large diameter PQ diamond holes for 1,200m (6 tonnes). Initial composite formation, head assays and investigation into the distribution of mica in the Borborema ore body have now been completed with 40 composites samples ranging in Au grade from 0.17 g/t - 7.95 g/t. This is in line with expectations and provides a comprehensive and reliable representation of the Borborema ore body. A full table of the results was included in the Company's ASX announcement of 28 January 2015.
In parallel, test work on dry stacking of tailings at Borborema has being progressed. Dry stacking of tailings delivers significant recycling of mine site water as well as removing the need for the construction of a tailings dam saving significant initial and sustaining capital.
Preliminary work on filtration of tailings has been completed with various manufacturers and prices estimated. A filter cake of tailings from Borborema ore achieved 18% moisture and confirmed that low moisture content in the filter cake is possible. The current program has been designed to finalise the filtration specifications needed to complete the costing of the dry stacked tailings facility at Borborema.
The Company has engaged Ausenco do Brasil Engenharia Ltda to assist in completing and reviewing the final documentation required to submit the application for the installation licence for Borborema.
Juruena Gold Project
During the half year Crusader announced an update on the drilling campaign at five previously un-drilled prospects within the Juruena Gold project area.
This initial exploration program was focused on several new targets identified in line with the main trend in the Juruena Project region, using smaller drilling rigs suitable for operation during the wet season.
The program represented approximately 250m of diamond drilling across 5 holes with an average depth of 50m. A full table of significant intercepts was included in the ASX announcement dated 8 June 2018, with better results received including:
-- 0.7m @ 12.22 g/t Au from 29m in JRND-071 at the Daniel target -- 1.57m @ 3.17 g/t Au from 37m in JRND-072 at the Izau III target -- 3.03m @ 0.60 g/t Au from 23.5m in JRND-073 at the Panelas target
The drilling campaign was the first pass exploration conducted over new prospects within the Juruena project area aimed at evaluating the mineral potential at tenements 866.578/2006 and 866.247/2011.
These represent new targets generated by the Crusader exploration team with successful exploration representing exciting potential to expand the pipeline of prospects which could become significant satellite targets.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
1. General Information
Crusader Resources Limited ("the Parent Entity" or "Crusader" or "the Company") is a listed public company incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia and Brazil. The address of the Company's registered office and principal place of business is Level 9, 190 St Georges Terrace, Perth, Western Australia. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as at, and for, the half-year ended 30 June 2018 comprise those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "the Consolidated Entity" or "the Group"). The Group is involved primarily in the mineral exploration industry.
2. Significant accounting policies
Statement of Compliance
The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting'. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company's 2017 annual financial report for the twelve months ended 31 December 2017. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Change in accounting policy
Prior to the year ended 31 December 2017, the Group expensed all costs incurred subsequent to the acquisition of rights to explore, up to costs associated with the preparation of a definitive feasibility study, whereby the Group commenced the capitalisation of costs associated with the area of interest.
The Group elected to change the above method of accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditure for the year ended 31 December 2017, and the new policy was applied retrospectively (with comparative information restated accordingly). Under the new policy:
-- exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred in the acquisition of the rights to explore (including payments to landowners required under the Group's mineral leases) is capitalised and recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset; and
-- exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to acquisition of the area of interest is capitalised to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of a relevant area of interest or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
The Directors are of the opinion that the change in accounting policy provides users with more relevant and no less reliable information given the prevalence of this policy with comparable exploration companies based in both Australia and also the UK where the Group has a secondary listing on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange (AIM). Consequently, adopting this revised accounting policy will in the opinion of the directors result in the Group's financial statements being more comparable to its peers operating in both Australia, and also the UK. The impact of this change in accounting policy is reflected below.
For comparative purposes, the change of accounting policy has resulted in the restatement of the affected financial statement line items for the prior period as follows:
Impact on Statement of profit or loss 30 June
2017
De-recognise exploration expenditure 985,407
--------
Decrease in net loss 985,407
--------
Basic and diluted loss per share have also been restated. The amount of the impact on basic and diluted loss per share for the restated result for the period ended 30 June 2017 due to the change in accounting policy is a decrease in loss per share of 0.33 cents.

Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group incurred a loss of $4,063,578 (2017: loss $2,872,589) and experienced net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $4,745,830 (2017: outflows of $2,681,712) for the half year ended 30 June 2018. As at 30 June 2018, the Group had a net current asset position of $335,686 (31 December 2017: net current liabilities of $3,074,447).
Cash and cash equivalents totalled $1,358,189 as at 30 June 2018 (31 December 2017: $2,632,054). Cash and cash equivalents approximated $498,000 as at 31 August 2018.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the Group out to 30 September 2019. This forecast shows approximately $4.6 million in cash outflows will be incurred over a 12 month period to 30 September 2019 based on budgeted operational requirements, which includes capital expenditure related to the Borborema Bankable Feasibility Study.
As at the date of signing this half year financial report, the Directors are managing the Group's cash flow requirements closely and continue to implement strategies that will streamline business processes and reduce ongoing expenditure.
In addition, the Directors and are currently pursuing a number of both debt and equity funding options which are in various stages of negotiation and the Directors are confident that adequate funding sources are available within the timeframes required to enable the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern.
The Directors consider that the Company has a demonstrated a track record of successfully raising capital and expect that the Company will continue to do so in the future to support the Group's monthly cash flow requirements, including repayment of amounts due to creditors and other parties and the continued exploration and development spend committed at the Group's key projects.
However, should the Directors not be successful in raising sufficient additional funding prior to 30 September 2018, there is a material uncertainty whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

Copulos Group Convertible Note
Effective 30 March 2017 the Company executed a $1,500,000 convertible debt facility agreement (with interest of 12% per annum, payable quarterly, and a maturity date of 30 March 2018) with the Copulos Group, a related party to Chairman, Mr Stephen Copulos.
The loan was converted into 31,543,526 shares (with 15,771,763 unlisted options attached) after shareholder approval was obtained at a General Meeting on 30 May 2018. Conversion was on the same terms as the Company's April capital raising, i.e. fully paid ordinary shares issued at $0.055 each with one free attaching option for every 2 ordinary shares acquired, exercisable at $0.055 expiring 31 May 2020.
Stratex International plc Convertible Note
On the execution of the Scheme Implementation Deed ("SID") with Stratex International plc on 15 June 2017, Crusader entered into a secured convertible note agreement with Stratex (with interest of 12% per annum, payable quarterly) pursuant to which Stratex agreed to make available to Crusader an interim funding solution in the principal of $1,000,000. In addition, under the terms of the convertible note agreement, Crusader requested additional funding of $500,000. All amounts due to Stratex under the terms of the convertible notes were to be repaid within 6 months of the date of termination of the SID, and consequently repayment occurred on 9 May 2018.

15. Dividends
No dividends have been paid or provided for in the period.
16. Contingent liabilities
The group is not aware of any contingent liabilities which existed as at the end of the financial period or have arisen as at the date of this report.
17. Loss per share
Basic and diluted loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing net loss for the period attributable to equity holders of the parent, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted loss per share computations:
30 Jun 2018 30 Jun 2017
$ $
Net (loss) / profit attributable to ordinary
equity holders of the parent (4,063,577) (2,872,589)
No. No.
The weighted average number of ordinary
shares on issue during the financial period
used in the calculation of basic and diluted
loss per share 395,224,301 300,824,366
There are no shares to be issued under the exercise of 97,118,402 options currently outstanding which are considered to be dilutive. The diluted earnings per share is therefore the same as basic earnings per share.
18. Discontinued operations
On 1 August 2017 the Company entered into a sale agreement to divest its 100% interest in the Posse Iron Ore Mine with Inter Invest B.P. S/A for BRL 8,005,000 (Undiscounted $3,200,000). The consideration consisted of an upfront payment of BRL 1,000,000 ($399,750), and deferred consideration of BRL 7,005,000 ($2,800,000), comprising 15 equal payments of BRL 467,000 ($186,683) commencing 60 days after 1 August 2017.
Consequently, the Posse operations are reported as a discontinued operation.
As at 1 August 2017, the Group considered the fair value of the deferred consideration to be $nil due to uncertainty in relation to the timing of receipt of payments and recoverability.
As at the date of approval of the financial statements none of the deferred consideration payments due in accordance with the sales agreement have been received, since 11 October 2017.
As announced on 10 July 2018, and notwithstanding positive negotiations with the Buying Company to bring forward the payment of the total consideration, these discussions have not resulted in agreement.
Accordingly, Crusader commenced legal proceedings on 19 June 2018 through the courts regarding the payment of the amounts owed and the obligations of the Buying Company. These requests include an injunction for the suspension of activities at Posse until payment is made in full of the amount agreed upon, as well as the payment of a daily fine if there is no suspension of activities. Under Brazilian law, and before restitution occurs, both parties will initially be attempting to achieve a satisfactory outcome through a conciliation hearing.
The results of the discontinued operations for the half year ended 30 June 2018 are set out below:
30 Jun 2018 30 Jun 2017

-------------- ------------
(1) The loss from discontinued operations of $nil (2017: $1,072,196) is attributable entirely to the owners of the Company.
19. Fair value of financial instruments
As at 30 June 2018, the consolidated entity had no financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, other than the available for sale financial assets disclosed in note 9, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (derived from quoted prices).
The directors consider that the carrying amounts of other financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.
20. Subsequent events
There are no subsequent events to report.
