NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2015
(Expressed in Canadian dollars) (unaudited)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION AND CONTINUATION OF THE BUSINESS
Corporate Information
The principal business of Delrand Resources Limited (“Delrand” or the “Company”) is the acquisition and exploration of
mineral properties in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“the DRC”).
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three and nine month periods ended March 31,
2015 include the accounts of the Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in the DRC, Delrand Resources
Congo SPRL.
The Company is a publicly traded company whose outstanding common shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock
Exchange and the JSE Limited in Johannesburg, South Africa. The head office of the Company is located at 1 First Canadian
Place, 100 King Street West, Suite 7070, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1E3, Canada.
Continuation of the business
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the
Company will continue in operation for a reasonable period of time and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company has not generated revenues from operations. The Company
incurred a net loss of $90,682 and $4,121,986 during the respective three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2015 and,
as of that date, the Company’s deficit was $127,664,160. These conditions along with other matters indicate the existence of
material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As such,
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to successfully raise additional financing.
Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing and subsequently raised financing, there is no
assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be available on acceptable
terms.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
a) Statement of compliance
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three and nine month periods ended March
31, 2015, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34
‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain information and
footnote disclosure normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, have been
omitted or condensed.
b) Basis of measurement
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the
historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are presented at fair value.
c) Summary of significant accounting policies
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and
methods of computation as presented in Note 3 of the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as at
and for the year ended June 30, 2014, except for those newly adopted accounting standards noted below.
The Company has applied the following new and revised IFRSs in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements: IFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements (“IFRS 10”), IFRS 13 fair value measurements (“IFRS
13”), IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements (“IAS 1”), IAS 27 Separate financial statements (“IAS 27”), and IAS 28
Investments in associates and joint ventures.
d) Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS as issued by the
IASB requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
e) Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective
and determined that the following may have an impact on the Company:
IFRS 9, Financial instruments (“IFRS 9”) intends to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in
its entirety with IFRS 9. IFRS 9 is intended to reduce the complexity for the classification and measurement of financial
instruments. The mandatory effective date was previously January 1, 2015 and has since been removed with the
effective date to be determined when the remaining phases of IFRS 9 are completed. Once it is complete, the Company
will be evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) was issued by the IASB on May 28, 2014 and will replace IAS
18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction Contracts. IFRS 15 provides a more detailed framework for the timing of revenue
recognition and increased requirements for disclosure of revenue. IFRS 15 uses a control-based approach to recognize
revenue which is a change from the risk and reward approach under the current standard. The mandatory effective date
is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard.
An amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) was issued by the IASB in December 2014. The
amendment clarifies principles for the presentation and materiality consideration for the financial statements and notes
to improve understandability and comparability. The amendment to IAS 1 is effective for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
An amendment to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”) was issued by the IASB in May 2014. The amendment
prohibits the use of a revenue-based depreciation method for property, plant and equipment as it is not reflective of the
economic benefits of using the asset. It clarifies that the depreciation method applied should reflect the expected
pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits of the asset. The amendment to IAS 16 is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on
its consolidated financial statements.
An amendment to IAS 38 Intangible Assets (“IAS 38”) was issued by the IASB in May 2014. The amendment prohibits the
use of a revenue-based depreciation method for intangible assets. Exceptions are allowed where the asset is expressed
as a measure of revenue or revenue and consumption of economic benefits for the asset are highly correlated. The
amendment to IAS 38 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The Company is evaluating
the impact of this standard but does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
Amendments IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”), IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
(“IFRS 12”), and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”) were published by the IASB in December
2014. The amendments define the application of the consolidation exception for investment entities. They are effective
for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard but does
not expect the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Balance as at March 31, 2015 - - -
There is $1 of intangible exploration and evaluation expenditures as at March 31, 2015 (June 30, 2014: $2,219). There have
not been any additions or disposals to intangible assets since January 1, 2010. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015,
an impairment loss of $2,218 on the intangible exploration and evaluation expenditures was recognized in the statement of
comprehensive loss.
a. Tshikapa Project
The Tshikapa project is located in the south-western part of the Kasai Occidental province of the DRC near the town
of Tshikapa. The Tshikapa project is located within the so-called Tshikapa triangle, bordering the Kasai River in the
east, the Loange River in the west and the Angolan border in the south. The properties also lie within the broader
kimberlite emplacement corridor which extends from known kimberlite pipes located in Angola. The Tshikapa
diamond field has been extensively mined by alluvial diamond companies and small-scale miners, and it is estimated
that it has produced over 100 million carats of diamonds since 1912. The Company has focused its attention on the
Tshikapa triangle through six exploration permits, covering an area of 1,043km², held through an option agreement
with the permit holder Acacia SPRL. Acacia SPRL has advised the Company of its wish to modify the option
agreement. As a result of not being able to resolve this situation with Acacia (i.e. Acacia’s wish to modify the option
agreement) over an extended period of time, during the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an
impairment loss of $3,115,554 with respect to this project.
b. Northern DRC Project
The northern DRC diamond project is located in Orientale Province of the DRC and had consisted of four exploration
permits, two of which were held by the Company directly through its DRC subsidiary and the balance of which were
held through an option agreement with the holder of the permits. Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Limited (“Rio
Tinto”) was party to this agreement but advised the Company that it no longer wished to continue with this diamond
project. Previously 22 exploration permits under option covered an area of 4,155 km² but based on ongoing
exploration, application was made to reduce these permits to two permits covering an area of 173 km². These two
remaining optioned permits have now been relinquished based on exploration results. The two additional exploration
permits which had been held by the Company’s DRC subsidiary covered an area of 92 km² (after the obligatory 50%
reduction) directly north of the optioned ground. These two permits have now also been relinquished based on
exploration results. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded an impairment loss of
$2,351,097 with respect to the northern DRC project.
4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are mainly comprised of amounts outstanding for purchases relating to exploration
activities and amounts payable for professional services. The credit period for purchases typically ranges from 30 to 90 days.

one common share of the Company and one-half of one warrant of the Company, with each full warrant entitling the
holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.75 for a period of two years.

share of the Company at a price of $0.75 until July 2016. As at March 31, 2015, all 250,000 warrants were outstanding.

c) Loss per share
Loss per share was calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three
and nine month periods ended March 31, 2015, amounting to 21,781,581 and 21,739,610 respectively (three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 2014: 20,614,831 and 20,414,317) common shares. Diluted loss per share was calculated
using the treasury stock method. For the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2015, total stock options of nil
(three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2014: nil) and warrants of 250,000 (three and nine month periods ended
March 31, 2014: 1,666,667) were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been
anti-dilutive. Items that are adjusted in the reconciliation to be excluded from the Company’s headline loss per share
are impairment of property, plant, and equipment and losses on disposal of assets.

The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise
price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the
underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. The contractual life
of all options on the date of grant is 5 years.
The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any
expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

9. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
a) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The consolidated statements of financial position carrying amounts for cash, prepaid expenses and other assets and
accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Due to the use of
subjective judgments and uncertainties in the determination of fair values these values should not be interpreted as
being realizable in an immediate settlement of the financial instruments.
Fair value hierarchy
The following provides a description of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair
value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
- Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
- Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or
liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the nine month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The
fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortized cost are approximated by their carrying values. Cash is
ranked level 2 as it is based on similar loans in the market.
b) Risk Management Policies
The Company is sensitive to changes in commodity prices and foreign-exchange. The Company’s Board of Directors has
overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. Although the
Company has the ability to address its price-related exposures through the use of options, futures and forward contacts,
it does not generally enter into such arrangements.
c) Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and United States dollar
or other foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operations and financial results. A portion of the Company’s
transactions are denominated in United States dollars, Congolese francs and South African rand. The Company is also
exposed to the impact of currency fluctuations on its monetary assets and liabilities. The Company’s functional currency
is the Canadian dollar. The majority of major expenditures are transacted in US dollars. The Company maintains the
majority of its cash in Canadian dollars but it does hold balances in US dollars and South African Rand. Significant
foreign exchange gains or losses are reflected as a separate component of the consolidated statement of comprehensive
loss. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
The following table indicates the impact of foreign currency exchange risk on net working capital as at March 31, 2015.
The table below also provides a sensitivity analysis of a 10 percent strengthening of the Canadian dollar against foreign
currencies as identified which would have increased (decreased) the Company’s net loss by the amounts shown in the
table below. A 10 percent weakening of the Canadian dollar against the same foreign currencies would have had the
equal but opposite effect as at March 31, 2015.

d) Credit Risk
Financial instruments which are potentially subject to credit risk for the Company consist primarily of cash. Cash is
maintained with several financial institutions of reputable credit in Canada, the DRC and South Africa and may be
redeemed upon demand. It is therefore the Company’s opinion that such credit risk is subject to normal industry risks
and is considered minimal.
e) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The
Company attempts to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they are due and manages this risk
by regularly evaluating its liquid financial resources to fund current and long-term obligations and to meet its capital
commitments in a cost-effective manner. The key to success in managing liquidity is the degree of certainty in the cash
flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases. The Company’s liquidity
requirements are met through a variety of sources, including cash, credit facilities and equity capital markets. In light
of market conditions, the Company initiated a series of measures to bring its spending in line with the projected cash
flows from its operations and available project specific facilities in order to preserve its financial position and maintain
its liquidity position. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,783,197 and amounts due to related parties of
$401,310 are due within one year and represent all significant contractual commitments, obligations, and interest and
principal repayments on financial liabilities. Please refer to Note 1, Continuation of the Business.
f) Mineral Property Risk
The Company’s activities in the DRC are exposed to various levels of political risk and uncertainties, including political
and economic instability, government regulations relating to exploration and mining, military repression and civil
disorder, all or any of which may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s activities or may result in
impairment in or loss of part or all of the Company's assets.
g) Market Risk
Market risk is the potential for financial loss from adverse changes in underlying market factors, including foreign-
exchange rates, commodity prices, interest rates and stock based compensation costs.
h) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the potential impact on any Company earnings due to changes in bank lending rates and short term
deposit rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk other than cash flow interest rate risk on its
cash. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk. A fluctuation of
interest rates of 1% would not affect significantly the fair value of cash.
i) Title risk
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain
claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of
many mining properties. Although the Company investigates title to any mineral properties that it may hold, the Company
cannot give any assurance that title will not be challenged or impugned and cannot be certain that it will have valid title
to any mineral properties that it may hold. The Company relies on title opinions by legal counsel who base such opinions
on the laws of countries in which the Company operates.
j) Country risk
The DRC is a developing country and as such, the Company’s activities in the DRC could be adversely affected by
uncertain political or economic environments, war, civil or other disturbances, and a changing fiscal regime and by DRC’s
underdeveloped industrial and economic infrastructure.
The Company’s activities in the DRC may be effected by economic pressures on the DRC. Any changes to regulations or
shifts in political attitudes are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. Operations may
be affected in varying degrees by factors such as DRC government regulations with respect to foreign currency conversion,
production, price controls, export controls, income taxes or reinvestment credits, expropriation of property,
environmental legislation, land use, water use and mine safety.
There can be no assurance that policies towards foreign investment and profit repatriation will continue or that a change
in economic conditions will not result in a change in the policies of the DRC government or the imposition of more
stringent foreign investment restrictions. Such changes cannot be accurately predicted.
k) Capital Management
The Company manages its cash, common shares, warrants and any stock options as capital. The Company’s main
objectives when managing its capital are:
- to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital at acceptable risk while providing an
appropriate return to its shareholders;
- to maintain a sufficient capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain
future development of the business;
- to safeguard the Company’s ability to obtain financing; and
- to maintain financial flexibility in order to have access to capital in the event of future acquisitions.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in accordance with the objectives stated above,
as well as responds to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.
There were no significant changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the nine month period ended
March 31, 2015.
Neither the Company nor its subsidiary is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
