1 | Issue 140 - Western Australian Stock Exchange Index

Consistent with the performance of the Deloitte WA Index, the All Ordinaries has also been weighed down by poor performance in the Iron ore sector, although has been offset by gains in other sectors where fresh geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine sparked demand for safe-haven bonds, providing an overall uplift to the financial sector. Additionally the Healthcare sector performed well, led by CSL Limited.

Movers & Shakers for the month of August showed strong representation from the energy sector, and were:

• Carnarvon Petroleum Limited, posting an increase in market capitalisation of AU$179m (215.5%) from AU$83m to AU$262m

• Greenland Minerals and Energy Limited, whose market capitalisation increased by AU$44m (70.2%) to close at AU$107m

• Nido Petroleum Limited, whose market capitalisation increased by AU$30m (35.4%) to finish the month at AU$114m.

The market capitalisation of WA listed companies which comprises the Deloitte WA Index fell by 1.9% during the month of August to close at AU$154bn. The significant 7.3% decrease in Iron Ore prices and the weakening demand for Australian exports affected the performance of Deloitte WA Index as the Western Australia economy relies heavily on its commodity exports.

Precious metals have shown mixed results during the month of August, with Gold and Palladium posting gains of 0.1% and 2.0% respectively, and Silver and Platinum declining 4.0% and 3.3% respectively. Uncertainties within equity markets driven largely by lingering doubts over international geopolitical tensions boasted demand for Gold. However growth in Gold prices was offset by the strengthening of U.S. dollar on the back of promising U.S. economic data and at the same time lowering demands for other precious metals, decreasing prices of Silver and Platinum. Palladium prices increased this month mainly due to the disruption of supplies from major producer Russia, resulting from the sanctions recently introduced by the European Union against Russia.

Uranium posted the biggest gain this month, with an increase of approximately 9%, on the back of supply disruptions as Cameco Corporation temporarily shut its McArthur River Uranium mine due to strikes. The McArthur mine is one of the world’s largest sources of Uranium and contributes around 10% of global supply annually.

International equity markets experienced steady gains this month, apart from the Nikkei, which suffered a decrease of 1.3%. The US S&P 500 posted a 3.8% gain despite geopolitical uncertainties on the back of the news of consumer confidence in the United States which reached its highest levels since late 2007. The FTSE increased by 1.3% for the month as a result of the announcement from Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank, regarding the introduction of stimulus measures and monetary easing in order to revitalise the Eurozone economy, which is the United Kingdom’s largest trading partner.

Deloitte WA Index performance against the ASX All Ordinaries and Overseas Indices

The Deloitte WA Index fell by 1.9% on the back of the continued Iron Ore price slump, which has seen the metal fall to a five year low, partly attributed to a weakening within China’s property sector dampening demand.

At the same time global supply is increasing as expansion projects come online, with higher cost Chinese mines receiving support by provincial government incentives and subsidies, aimed at preventing an increase in regional unemployment. The Western Australian economy relies heavily upon the export of various commodities however weak demand for Iron Ore took a heavy toll on WA’s Iron Ore exporters with heavy weight Fortescue Metals Group Limited (FMG) experiencing a AU$2.3bn fall in its market capitalisation during the month. Amongst the major players in the industry, FMG fared the worst given the company’s sole exposure to iron ore, which has dragged its share price down by 27% since the beginning of the calendar year.

The All Ordinaries has also been weighed down by poor performance in the Iron ore sector; with BHP Billiton Limited and Rio Tinto Limited experiencing a AU$10.7bn and AU$6.9bn fall in their respective market capitalisations. The flat performance in the materials

sector however has been offset by gains in other sectors where fresh geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine sparked demand for safe-haven bonds, providing an overall uplift to the financials sector. However, Healthcare was the best-performing sector, with Vaccine maker CSL Limited posting gains of AU$2.9bn or 8.9% after showing a 7.8% jump in full-year net profit, boosted by increased demand for its plasma products.

The S&P 500 posted the strongest gain of all indices being assessed, with a 3.8% increase due to an significant increase in U.S. consumer confidence in August, with the Thomson Reuters final sentiment index up to 82.5 from 81.8 in July. The latest positive data helped extend a rally that had been threatened by concerns over the on-going crisis in Ukraine. Apple Inc. the world’s largest technology company, led the S&P index with a US$41.3bn increase in market capitalisation in August after news that it has been granted a patent which suggests that it may introduce a curved touch display in a future iWatch device, fuelling further investor speculation.

Local equity markets faced a lacklustre month, having to cope with sinking Iron Ore prices and weakening Chinese demand for Australian exports which caused the Deloitte WA Index to fall by 1.9% during the month. The All Ordinaries fared slightly better, remaining stagnant with no overall change from the previous month. International markets experienced steady gains, with the US S&P 500 and FTSE 100 gaining 3.8% and 1.3% respectively. The Nikkei however, slipped by 1.3% over weak consumer spending data released by the Japanese government.

The FTSE posted gains of 1.3% following speculation that the European Central Bank (ECB) will introduce quantitative easing amid a continued worsening of economic data from the eurozone, which is the UK’s largest trading partner. The Eurozone inflation rate is near a five-year low of 0.3% in August, which adds to fears of a deflationary spiral, and swells further pressure on the ECB to take action to stimulate the economy. The leader in the index is HSBC Holdings plc, which gained 2.7% amid its interim dividend declared of US$0.10 per ordinary share on August 4, 2014.

The Nikkei suffered an overall decline of 1.3% after government data showed that consumer spending fell an inflation-adjusted 5.9% from a year earlier in July 2014. Automotive sales have also fallen to a three year low, and carmakers have resumed scaling back output in the country . Toyota Motor Corporation pulled down the Nikkei, falling 3.1% amid falling demand in Japanese markets outweighing record profits over the last financial quarter being announced from the rising popularity of Toyota’s SUVs in overseas markets.

Precious metals have shown mixed results during the month of August. Gold and Palladium posted gains of 0.1% and 2% respectively, which was contrasted by a decline of 4% for Silver and 3.3% for Platinum. Uncertainties within equity markets driven largely by lingering doubts over international geopolitical tensions boasted the demand for Gold, commonly perceived as a safe haven asset. However strengthening Gold prices were quickly offset by the appreciation of U.S. dollar on the back of promising U.S. economic data and at the same time lowering demands for other precious metals, decreasing the price of Silver and Platinum.

Palladium has increased by 2.0% this month, reaching its highest level compared to Platinum since mid-2002, mainly due to the disruption of supplies from major Palladium producer Russia as a result of recent sanctions introduced by the European Union against Russia.

Aluminium rose to one of its highest levels in 18 months, leading the charge for industrial metals after a report showed U.S. durable goods orders jumped ahead of initial forecast and bookings surged for commercial aircrafts which predominantly use aluminium. Sluggish demands and poor manufacturing figures from China have contributed to the decrease in prices for Tin and Copper as China is one of the largest consumers of these three metals.

Uranium posted the biggest gain this month, with an increase of approximately 9%, on the back of supply disruptions as Cameco Corporation temporarily shut its McArthur River Uranium mine due to strikes. The McArthur mine is one of the world’s largest sources of Uranium and contributes around 10% of global supply.

Commodity markets experienced a mixed performance across the board during the month of August. Steady gains were experienced by industrial metals with the exception of Tin and Copper, which both experienced losses, as a result of sluggish demand from China. Uranium is the biggest winner this month with a significant 8.8% increase in prices due to supply disruption while Iron Ore prices suffered the greatest fall of 7.3% due to concerns surrounding the strength of the Chinese economy, combined with increasing supply.

6 | Issue 140 - Western Australian Stock Exchange Index

The gain is further backed by the prospects of a Japanese nuclear reactor restart as well as the end of the Russia-U.S. megatons to megawatts program last August, eliminating a huge source of uranium supply.

Crude oil prices decreased 3.0% this month as a result of increased global supply due to the market’s perception of reduced risk associated with Iraq oil exports and increasing Libyan oil production. On top of that, the downward pressure on oil prices are further driven by lower seasonal demand from both Asia and Europe.

Of the commodities surveyed, Iron ore was the poorest performer during the month, with prices dropping 7.3% to close at US$89 per tonne, taking the total decrease to 35% since the start of the calendar year, and is nearly

at its lowest price in five years. The decline in price is attributable to a combination of sluggish Chinese property prices and oversupply of iron ore by major exporters, Australia and Brazil, driving Chinese stockpiles to record highs. Furthermore, analyst are forecasting low demand from China steel producers resulting from seasonal patterns as well as measures to reduce pollution from China’s steel industry.

Carnarvon Petroleum LimitedCarnarvon Petroleum Limited (‘Carnarvon’) increased its market capitalisation by 215.5% from AU$83m to AU$262m over the period ended 31 August 2014. As at 31 August 2014 Carnarvon was ranked 51st in the Deloitte WA index.

Carnarvon Petroleum Limited (‘Petroleum’) is a Perth based oil and gas exploration and production company, with operations based mainly in North West of Western Australia and South East Asia, with core focus in Thailand.

Carnarvon’s Thailand operations include production, development, appraisal and exploration projects at different stages in various onshore locations. Carnarvon currently owns a 20% stake in these projects, with the other shareholders being Loyz Energy (20%) and ECO Orient (operator with 60%). The exploration and production concessions are located 300km north of Bangkok and there has been an active drilling campaign in this highly prolific basin, with the operator drilling numerous, production, appraisal and exploration wells.

In March 2014, the company sold half of their 40.0% stake in the above mentioned Thailand assets to Loyz Energy in order to release cash for their Australian operations.

Carnarvon’s Western Australian assets, which were acquired in 2008, include exploration interests on the North Western Shelf off the coast of the Kimberley, 150km north of Port Hedland. These interests consist of the company’s four permits which span over a large 20,000 km² and include the recent Phoenix South-1 oil discovery, held in joint venture with partners Apache Corporation (40.0%), JX Nippon (20.0%) and Finder Exploration (20.0%).

On 18 August 2014, Carnarvon and its partners, announced to the market, their first oil discovery in their Phoenix South-1 well. This discovery is the first discovery of oil in Australia’s offshore Canning Basin. The preliminary results from Phoenix Shouth-1 have estimated a possible 300 million barrels of oil. Carnarvon shares rose threefold on the news, finishing the month up 215% with market capitalisation of AU$262m.

Going forward, the joint venture partners plan to determine the commercial viability of the Phoenix South-1 well, to understand the potential quantity of recoverable oil, the results of which are expected towards the end of 2014. The partners also plan for further drilling and evaluation of the Phoenix South-1 well in 2015. The Phoenix South-1 oil discovery has placed Carnarvon in an exciting position to be central played in the possible future development of Australia’s newest, oil province, with multiple oil fields on Australia’s North West Shelf.

Greenland Minerals and Energy Limited Greenland Minerals and Energy Limited (‘GMEL’) increased its market capitalisation by 70.2% from AU$63m to AU$107m over the period ended 31 August 2014. As at 31 August 2014 GMEL was ranked 95th in the Deloitte WA Index.

GMEL (ASX: GGG) is an exploration and development

company focused on its Greenland-based rare earth

and uranium project’s development. As an Australian

domiciled company, GMEL has been operating in

Greenland since 2007.

The company’s primary focus is the advancement of

its flagship Kvanefjeld project, in Greenland, from its

current feasibility evaluation stage, through to mine

development. The first drill program commenced in late

2007 highlighting Kvanefjeld’s potential of becoming

a resource of global significance in terms of rare earth

elements (REE) as well as zinc and uranium.

The potential of GMEL’s 100% owned Kvanefjeld project

is reinforced by one of the world’s largest REE-uranium

resources as well as its strategic placement making it

highly accessible to the European and North American

markets. After conducting seven years of research and

development, the project has been recognised as having

cost effective processing with minimal technical risk.

Kvanefjeld contains resources of 956m tonnes including

575m pounds of uranium and 10.33Mt of total rare

earth oxide.

In October 2013 the Greenland Government repealed its long standing zero tolerance policy towards the exploitation of radioactive elements which inclluded uranium. Furthermore, since January 2014 Greenland and Denmark have been working together in order to implement a co-operation agreement on the responsibilities related to uranium productions. These developments are instrumental in terms of GMEL’s future operations and productivity, and provide a clear pathway towards development.

GMEL shares have risen 79.4% over the past month, boosted by increased institutional interest, and the significant increase in uranium prices. Also driving the company’s rise is the continued progress associated with the Environmental and Social Impact Assessments for Kvanefjeld which when finalised will play a critical role in obtaining a mining licence.. The markets confidence in GMEL’s potential is visible with Global X Uranium ETF recently coming on board as a substantial shareholder, who now has a 7.35% stake in GMEL.

In terms of its next steps, GMEL is aiming to establish a uranium partner as well as evaluating its future development plans for the Kvanefjeld project.

Nido Petroleum LtdNido Petroleum Ltd (‘Nido’) increased its market capitalisation by 35.4% from AU$84m to AU$114m over the month of August. As at 31 August 2014, Nido was ranked 92nd in the Deloitte WA index.

The South East Asian ASX-listed company’s main focus is oil and gas exploration and production. Nido,’s portfolio includes a significant acreage in the highly prospective North West Palawan Basin in the Philippines, and the Penyu and West Natuna basins in Indonesia.

Based on Nido’s June 2014 Half Year Financial Report, production from the Galoc Oil field in Philippines levelled out to optimal rates following on from the commissioning of Galoc Phase II in December 2013. Nido also noted progress in its West Linapacan A re-development project, where phased development investment is being considered.

Nido’s Q2 Quarterly Report confirmed while the well at the Palawan Basin prospect Baragatan-1 location had to be re-spud at an alternate location due to an unstable geological zone, the primary results have confirmed the existence of an active petroleum system. Nido intends to integrate these results in the underground geological models during the second half of 2014.

Nido’s strong market performance during August is mainly attributable to a combination of an off-market takeover offer from the Bangchak Petroleum Public Company of Thailand (BPCE) and good operational performance reported in the quarter ending 30 June 2014. The off-market takeover offer from BCPE was unanimously recommended by Nido Directors.

As per the Nido Q2 Quarterly report, the company intends to, continuously assess new exploration, development and production opportunities in the region as well as targeting near-term affordable drilling opportunities. To this intent, Nido looks forward to tapping into the Gurita PSC offshore Gobi-1 Indonesian prospect by commencing drilling operations in Q4 2014 with a number of significant oil and gas discoveries in adjacent zones.

Compilation of the Deloitte WA Index

Compilation of the Deloitte WA Index The monthly Deloitte WA Index is compiled from publicly available information provided by the ASX and Capital IQ on the market capitalisation of each Western Australian listed company.

A company is included as a Western Australian Company where its registered office is listed in Western Australia, regardless of whether the company is dual listed. The information on Western Australian listed companies is extracted and then summarised to provide a cumulative market capitalisation figure for all Western Australian listed companies.

The base period of the Deloitte WA Index is May 2000 and for the purposes of the Index the month of May 2000 is given a notional value of one. All subsequent monthly cumulative market capitalisation totals are divided by the May 2000 total to then obtain a relative movement. Please note that if a company has been suspended or delisted during a particular period no data will be included for that month and all subsequent months until the company is re-listed or the suspension lifted. Historical information regarding the company’s market capitalisation will continue to be included in the calculation of the Index.

Earnings per share (EPS) is a basic EPS calculation, i.e. net profit divided by weighted average number of shares.
