REVIEW OF AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The net loss after income tax for the half-year was $883,220 (31 December 2011: $2,199,269).  Oroya is an Australian-based mineral explorer, focused on the exploration and discovery of large copper and base metal projects. The activities of the Company and its joint venture partners over the last year has progressed several of the projects. On 20 February 2013, drilling commenced at the Company’s 100% owned Orbost porphyry copper targets. In December 2012 the Company signed a binding Heads of Agreement for the establishment of two joint ventures which requires Mining Projects Group Ltd to spend $800,000 on exploration of the Company's Western Australian Talc Lake Nickel Project within 12 months. At the date of this report, Oroya held interests in the following projects:

 Major projects (ORO: 100%) Orbost Copper Project – Sunday Creek, Victoria (Oroya:100%) A diamond rig commenced drilling at the Granite Creek porphyry copper target on 20 February 2013 and the company expects to complete the planned holes within 3 months. The Granite Creek target is a strong near circular EM anomaly detected in Oroya’s 2012 HeliTEM survey. It lies on a large fault and this combination of structure with conductive, circular shape is a strong indicator for a porphyry intrusion. It lies between two old copper-gold workings. This target has not been tested in previous exploration, unlike the Sunday Creek target where historic drilling intersected porphyry copper mineralisation. Oroya has been advised that all 14 sites, including those at Sunday Creek, have been cleared for drilling. Commencement of clearing of the access to the Sunday and Sardine Creek is conditional upon the signing of a heads of agreement to secure offset arrangements for habitat and vegetation. Two sites to test the Sardine Creek anomaly are included in the second work plan, so all three targets can be tested in the current mobilisation. Other projects Talc Lake Nickel Project – Roe Hills, WA (Oroya:100%)

Mt Barrett Gold and Base Metal Project (Oroya 100%) On 21 December 2012, the company announced it had executed a binding Heads of Agreement to establish 2 joint ventures with Mining Projects Group Limited (MPJ) over Oroya’s Western Australia nickel and gold exploration assets, the Roe Hills/Talc Lake Project and the Mr Barrett Project. Key terms of the agreement include:

- MPJ will hold the right to earn a 75% participating interest in the Talc Lake Project by expending a minimum of $800,000 during the initial 12 month period from signing and then continue to solely fund Talc Lake until completion of a Bankable Feasibility or decision to mine.

- MPJ will hold the right to earn an 80% participating interest in Mt Barrett by completing all required expenditure until completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study.

- MPJ will issue Oroya 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in MPJ and 30,000,000 options with an exercise price of 1 cent and an expiry date at 30 June 2016 subject to shareholder approval to reimburse expenditure undertaken at Talc Lake and Mt Barrett thus far.

NSW, Sofala Gold-Copper Project, Wiagdon Thrust Joint Venture (Oroya 30% free-carried, Neo Resources 70%) Neo Resources Limited (Neo) has earned a 70% interest in the Sofala Wiagdon Thrust Joint Venture by completing the Earn-In Expenditure of a minimum of $1.5 million within the deemed Earn-In Period. Oroya is now free carried until the mining commencement date, with a 30% Joint Venture Interest. Oroya’s key objective is advancing its porphyry copper exploration project to define resources. In recent months the company has reduced non-core projects through relinquishment of some licences and sale or farm out where advantageous. Further rationalisation is planned to ensure that the Company’s funds are focused on the best prospects for major metal discoveries. New tenements under application: - Victoria, Mount Buck, Copper Project (ELA 5444, Oroya 100%) - Victoria, Bonang, Copper-gold Project (ELA 5445, Oroya 100%)

 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

On 22 October 2012, the Company placed 600,000,000 $0.003 options at a price of $0.0001 per option raising $600,000 before costs. EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

There are no events subsequent to reporting date other than stated below.

- The appointment of Mr Ping Zhao as Executive Director commencing 24 January 2013. Mr Zhao is involved in Australian mine exploration through his role as Managing Director of Soaraway Development Pty Ltd and owns the China based Yucai Group of companies.

- As announced on 12 February 2013, Soaraway Development Pty Ltd, a major shareholder of Oroya and mining subsidiary of China based Yucai Group, subscribed for $800,000 in convertible notes. The amount received will be used to fund the Company’s immediate exploration objectives. The Company intends to convene an EGM to seek shareholder approval to convert the notes at the earliest opportunity.

- A diamond rig commenced drilling at the Granite Creek porphyry copper target on 20 February 2013. The company expects to complete the planned holes within 3 months.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012

   

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION The financial report of Oroya Mining Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group” or “consolidated entity”) for the half-year ended 31 December 2012 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on [14] March 2012.

   

The Company is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange.

   

The address of the registered office is Suite 502, 140 Bourke Street, Melbourne Victoria 3000.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Basis of preparation This interim financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2012 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

   

The half year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.

   

The half year financial report should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report for the period ended 30 June 2012.

   

It is also recommended that the half year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Oroya Mining Limited during the half year ended 31 December 2012 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the ASX Listing Rules.

   

The accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial report.

   

From 1 July 2012 the consolidated entity has adopted all Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on or before 1 July 2012. The adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations had no impact on the financial position or performance of the consolidated entity.

   

The consolidated entity has not elected to early adopt any new standards or amendments that are issued but not yet effective.

(b) Going concern

The consolidated entity has incurred an operating loss of $883,220 (2011: $2,199,269) and negative operating cash flows of $523,210 (2011: $261,336) excluding exploration expenditure of $273,330 (2011: $234,401) for the half year ended 31 December 2012. The consolidated entity's net current asset position at 31 December 2012 was $627,523. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Directors consider this to be appropriate for the following reasons: (i) the ability to vary the consolidated entity’s cost structure and in turn the levels of cash outflow dependent

on the timing of its exploration activities; and (ii) the demonstrated ability to obtain funding through equity issues as required. As announced on 12

February 2013, the Company received additional funding by issuing $800,000 of convertible notes to Soaraway Development, a major shareholder of Oroya. The amount received will be used to fund the Company’s immediate exploration objectives.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012

The Company is currently conducting a drilling program at its Orbost Copper Project using existing funds from previous equity capital raisings. The Directors recognise that the Company will need to raise additional finance at the appropriate time to fund planned discretionary exploration activities, most notably the ongoing drilling program at Orbost. The Directors are currently assessing a range of options to meet this funding requirement. The Directors recognise the above factors create uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. However, by taking into account the points noted above, the Directors are confident the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Should the Company not achieve the matters set out above, there is uncertainty whether the Company would continue as a going concern and therefore whether it would realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of the recorded assets amounts nor to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.

 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION  

For management purposes, the Company is organised into one main operating segment, which involves exploration for mineral deposits throughout Australia. All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief Operating Decision Makers) as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Company as a whole.

 The Directors have reviewed all exploration projects for indicators of impairment in light of approved budgets. Where substantive expenditure on further exploration is neither budgeted nor planned, or the period for which the Company has the right to explore will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed, the area of interest has been written down to nil pending the outcome of any future farm out arrangement. The Company will continue to look to attract farm-­‐in partners and/or recommence exploration should circumstances change.

The assessed fair value of the options was determined using a Black Scholes model, taking into account the exercise price, term of option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. The following assumptions were used in the estimation: - Risk free interest rate of 2.57% - Company share price of 0.5 cents - Dividend Yield of 0% - Expected volatility of 130% - Option exercise price of 0.5 cents for 65 million options and 0.7 cents for 25 million options. - Option duration of 37.74 months

       Total consideration received for the director options issued was $900.    In addition, 60 million options exercisable at 0.3 cents and expiring 30 June 2015 were issued to Melbourne Capital on 26 October 2012 and vest immediately. The issue was part of a lead manager’s fee per the prospectus dated 9 October 2012. The valuation of the options has been determined at $0.001 per option, by reference to the fair value of services provided.

   

8. EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

Directors’ Responsibility for the Interim Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2012 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Oroya Mining Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the Directors’ Report.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Oroya Mining Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

i giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2012 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

ii complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 2(b) of the half-year financial report. As a result of the matters described in Note 2(b), there is a significant uncertainty whether the company 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 at the amounts stated in this half-year financial report. The half-year financial report does not include any 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 company not continue as a going concern.
