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.

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.
Impact on statement of cash flows 30 June
2017
Cash flows from operating activities
Payments for exploration and evaluation 1,004,857
------------
Decrease in net cash outflow used in operating activities 1,004,857
------------
Cash flows from investing activities
Payments for exploration and evaluation (1,004,857)
------------
Increase in net cash used in investing activities (1,004,857)
------------
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

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:

$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.
