| * As a result of a timing issue, bullion awaiting shipment at year end that|
|relate to current year's production has been re-classified from revenue to|
|inventory at cost to comply with Australian Accounting Standards. This timing|
|issue has had a material reduction of US$5.893 million to current year's|
|profit. Refer Note 4 under Notes to the Financial Statements at the end of|
|this announcement. Subsequent to year end the bullion has been shipped and|

US$73.7 million, up 142% (adjusted underlying EBITDA of US$79.6 million,
up162%);
- Earnings per share ("EPS"), of US$0.378 on a weighted average basis, based on
NPAT of US$65.8 million, up 102% (adjusted underlying EPS of US$0.412, up 120%);
- Revenues increased 121% to a record US$94.6 million, due to increased gold
production and a higher price received on sale of gold. Medusa is an un-hedged
gold producer and received an average gold price of US$1,100 per ounce from the
sale of 64,020 ounces of gold for the year (adjusted underlying revenues
totalled US$102.2 million, up 139%);
- The Company remains debt free and had total cash and bullion of US$55.8
million at year end (2009: US$26.5 million). The adjusted underlying cash and
bullion at year end was US$63.4 million.
OPERATIONS
Co-O MINE
The Company produced a record 89,679 ounces of gold for the year, an increase of
41,810 ounces or 87% from the previous year's production of 47,869 ounces, at an
average recovered grade of 16.52 g/t gold (2009: 13.30 g/t gold) and cash costs*
of US$184 per ounce (2009: US$213 per ounce).
* Cash costs refer to the cost of gold produced (net of development costs) and
includes royalties and local taxes of US$46 per ounce for the year (2009: US$40
per ounce).
Figure 1 (please see the link at the end of this announcement) shows the
production and cash costs of the mine for each quarter in the year to 30 June
2010.
The budget for the forthcoming fiscal year is to produce 100,000 ounces at cash
costs of around US$190 per ounce.

EXPLORATION
- Contiguous tenement package maintained at >800km(2);
- Budgeted exploration for 2011 fiscal year of $21.0 million (2010 actual:
US$18.9 million);
- Figure 4 (please see the link at the end of this announcement) shows the
exploration costs from 2007 to 2011 (budgeted).
- Exploration highlights at Co-O include:
- discovery of new veins and extensions to known veins;
- extension along strike to approximately 1,500 metres;
- extension across strike to approximately 500 metres;
- demonstrating that mineralisation extends to over 500 metres below the
mine's adit entrance; and
- estimation of a Conceptual Exploration Target ** for the Co-O Mine of
between 3 and 7 million ounces of gold.
- At the Bananghilig disseminated gold deposit, drilling has commenced prior to
establishing reserves as a basis for a feasibility study;
- At the Lingig copper prospect, drilling has identified a coherent body of
basalt-hosted mineralisation requiring further drilling;
- Scout drilling is being planned at the newly discovered Usa copper-gold
porphyry target; and
- At Saugon, re-drilling of the First Hit Vein is in progress.
** The potential target size and grade of the Co-O Mine is conceptual in
nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource.
It is also uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being
defined as a mineral resource.
Managing Director, Geoff Davis commented:
"This year has indeed been both challenging and exciting in terms of growth
with the Company completing a two phase expansion programme, on schedule, in the
March 2010 quarter, whilst producing a record 89,679 ounces of gold for the year
at average cash costs (net of development costs, but inclusive of royalties and
local taxes) of US$184 per ounce.
The Company is in the fortunate position of being a low cost gold producer, in
an economic climate where gold is trading near record highs. The strong
financial result generated from production and sales, as evidenced with a record
adjusted underlying profit of US$71.7 million, will enable Medusa to fund
ongoing development at its flagship Co-O Mine as well as continue its extensive
exploration programme.
We believe our landholding sits within one of the most prospective mineralised
regions in the Philippines which should enable us to achieve organic growth
initially to a mid-tier 300 to 400,000 ounces per year gold producer.
Accordingly, the Board has approved an exploration budget of US$21 million for
the forthcoming year. To achieve our stated objective, we have commenced work at
the large Bananghilig Deposit with the aim of completing mining studies towards
the end of 2011. Other prospects will also be examined over time as the
Company's landholdings have the potential for the discovery of additional gold
and copper mineralisation.
Work at the Co-O Mine has achieved our year's objectives of increasing the
global resources to approximately 1.5 million ounces and of maintaining the
mine's reserves at around 500,000 ounces. The plan going forward is to maintain
resources and reserves at these current levels.
A conceptual exploration target for the Co-O Mine was estimated during the year
at between 3 million and 7 million ounces over the life of the mine. This
conceptual target size indicates that the Co-O Mine could be a long-lived asset
providing funding for future growth.
Financially the Company is in a sound position, being debt free, un-hedged, and
with an extremely healthy cash and bullion balance. This year's excellent
adjusted underlying financial results set the benchmark for continued strong
future earnings."

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including
Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the
Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has
concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable
information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial
statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this
financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless
otherwise stated.
The financial report covers the Group of Medusa Mining Limited ("Medusa") and
controlled entities. Medusa is a listed public company, incorporated and
domiciled in Australia.
The financial statements were authorised by the Directors on 27 August 2010.
Basis of preparation
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on
historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets,
financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of
accounting has been applied.
(a) Principles of consolidation
A controlled entity is any entity over which Medusa has the power to govern the
financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual
and potential voting rights are considered.
Investments in controlled entities are accounted for at lower cost or net
realisable value in the separate financial statements of the parent entity. A
list of controlled entities during the year ended 30 June 2010 is presented in
note 18.
Loans to controlled entities for which repayment is not likely in the
foreseeable future are accounted for as part of the parent entity's investment
in controlled entities.
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have
been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their
results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left)
the consolidated group during the year, their operating results have been
included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).
All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated
group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on
consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where
necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.
(b) Comparative figures
Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted
to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(c) Change in accounting policy
From 1 July 2009 the Company has adopted the following Standards for the
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. Adoption of these standards
did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Company.
However, the adoption of AASB 8 has caused the Company to revise its segment
reporting. See note 27 for details of the reportable segments and applicable
accounting policies.
AASB 8 Operating Segment
AASB 8 requires a management approach to the identification, measurement and
disclosure of operating segments.
AASB 101 Revised Presentation of Financial Statements
AASB 101 requires all changes in equity arising from transactions with owners ,
in their capacity a owners, to be presented separately from non-owner changes in
equity. Non-owner changes in equity require presentation in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income.
The revised AASB 101 requires all income and expenses to be presented in either
one Statement of Comprehensive Income or a separate Income Statement and a
Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Group's financial statements contain a
Statement of Comprehensive Income.
As a consequence of a change in functional currency the Group has included a
Statement of Financial Position and accompanying notes for the year ended June
2008.
(d) Change in functional and presentation currency
The functional currency for a company is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the company operates. The presentation currency for a
company is the currency in which the company chooses to present its financial
report. Till June 2009, the presentation currency of the Group was Australian
dollars.
AASB 121, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, suggests that a
primary factor in determining the functional currency of an entity is the
currency that mainly influences sales price for goods and services.
The Company's Gold sales, which are in US dollars, significantly outweigh all
the expenses of the Group. In order to better reflect the Company's and Group's
financial position and operations the Company has decided to change its
presentation currency for financial reporting to US dollars. The Company has
determined the date of transition of the presentation currency from Australian
dollars to US dollars as 1 July 2009.
In order to derive US dollar comparatives the Company has converted the
Statement of Financial Position at 30 June 2009 at US$/Philippine Peso of
48.369 for Philippine subsidiaries except Medusa Mineral Processing and Refining
Corporation ("MMPRC") while the parent entity has been converted at US$/A$ of
0.8931. The Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2009
have been converted at an average rate of US$/Philippine Peso 47.594 for
Philippine subsidiaries except MMPRC and US$/A$ 0.8704 for the Parent Entity.
Equity Balances have been maintained at historical exchange rates relating to
the date of transaction. As described in the above mentioned reasons management
have decided that MMPRC, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, would change
its functional and presentation currency from Philippine Pesos to US dollars
commencing 1 July 2009.
(e) Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised in the relevant reporting period
when there has been a significant transfer of risks and rewards to the customer
and no further processing is required by the Group's operations. In addition,
the quality and quantity of the goods must be determined with reasonable
accuracy, the price is known or determinable and collectability is probable. The
point, at which risk passes, for the Group's sales, is for the majority of the
time, upon receipt of the bill of lading when the commodity is actually
delivered for shipment.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable.
Gold sales
Revenue from the production of gold and silver is recognised when the group has
passed control and risk to the buyer.
Interest Revenue
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which
for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.
(f) Income tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax
expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on
taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or
substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets)
are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from)
the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and
deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly
to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are
credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result
where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available.
No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an
asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect
on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are
expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is
settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.
Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to
recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are
recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit
will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be
utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries,
branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference
can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the
foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right
of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous
realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right
of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income
taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or
different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or
simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability
will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets
or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

+-----------------------------------------------------+--------+---------------+
| The applicable weighted average effective tax| 0%| (6)%|
|rates are as follows | | |
+-----------------------------------------------------+--------+---------------+
The reason for the 0% weighted average effective tax rate for the current year
is due to the impact of the tax free holiday in Mindanao Mineral Processing and
Refining Corporation, a subsidiary of the parent entity, thorough which sales of
bullion are recorded. In the previous year the decrease in the weighted average
effective consolidated tax rate for 2010 was a result of utilising available tax
losses and the impacts of foreign tax concessions.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+---+---+
|(c) Deferred tax assets not brought to account, the benefits of which| | |
|will only be realised if the conditions for deductibility set out in| | |
|Note 1(f) occur:- | | |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+---+---+
|- temporary differences |109| 90|
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+---+---+

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+---+---+
|- Philippine tax losses | 11| 54|
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+---+---+
| |895|885|
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+---+---+
The benefit of tax losses will only be obtained if:
(i) the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount
sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised; or the benefit can be utilised
by another company in the Group in accordance with Division 170 of the Income
Tax Assessment Act 1997;
(ii) the Company and/or Group continues to comply with the conditions for
deductibility imposed by the law; and
(iii) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company and/or the
Group in realising the benefit.

| Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing the net profit|
|or loss attributable to members of the Company for the reporting period, after|
|excluding any costs of servicing equity (other than ordinary shares and|
|converting preference shares classified as ordinary shares for EPS calculation|
|purposes), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company,|
|adjusted for any bonus issue. |
| |
| Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings, adjusted by|
|the after tax effect of financing costs associated with potential ordinary|
|shares and the effect on revenues and expenses of conversion to ordinary|
|shares associated with potential ordinary shares, by the weighted average|
|number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus|
|issue. |
