Review and results of operations

Overview
The Directors of Synergy Metals Limited are pleased to report that the company’s exploration activity was
maintained at a high level during the six months ended 31 December 2007.

Having achieved its earlier objective of proving up a northerly extension of the Glen Wills mineralised zone,
the focus shifted to Glen Wills South to commence a resource drill-out there and to Sunnyside where
excellent results had previously been reported.

Two diamond core drill rigs operated from the surface at Glen Wills and Sunnyside during the period and
will soon be supplemented by a third rig which will operate from underground. Having three rigs on site will
greatly enhance the group's exploration capacity and will allow Synergy to accelerate the exploration
program into 2008.

A major achievement for the period was the completion of the underwritten $7.2 million capital raising
which has secured the company’s funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

Financial results
During the period, the group continued the exploration, evaluation and development work at the Glen Wills
and Sunnyside gold projects located in the East Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. The consolidated
loss after income tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2007 was $454,315 (Half-year ended 31
December 2006: $627,765).

Victorian operations
The group has been focusing its attention on increasing the inferred mineral resource and the mineral
exploration potential at its 100% owned gold projects at Glen Wills and Sunnyside. This follows an
independent review conducted by Coffey Mining Pty Ltd in early 2007 on behalf of the Board and which
confirmed the excellent prospectivity of the group's mining tenements in Victoria.

In September 2007, Coffey Mining recommended a resource drill out at Glen Wills South; further
exploration drilling at the highly prospective Sunnyside area; and a large soil sampling program at
Merrimac which is located some 8 kilometres to the north of Sunnyside. All three projects were
commenced during the period and are continuing at the date of this report.

1
Directors' Report
Two surface drill rigs were used throughout most of the period: one at Glen Wills and the other at
Sunnyside. A third drill rig will soon be delivered on site to accelerate the Glen Wills South resource drill
out by drilling from underground. This specially designed drill rig will allow Synergy to drill faster to the
mineralised zone from underground by avoiding the dead drilling that is otherwise required by drilling from
the surface.

In preparation for the commencement of drilling from underground, in September 2007, the Board
approved the refurbishment of part of the number 5 adit of the historic workings. This will allow the
construction of several crosscuts and cuddies which will enable the underground drill rig to be positioned in
the best location to provide the shortest drilling distances and to hit the known mineralised zone at the
optimum angle.

The refurbishment work of the adit has been completed and the Board announced today that construction
of the crosscuts has commenced.

The Board and the geological team have regular review meetings with Coffey Mining to assess new assay
results; additional geological information and interpretation; and to also refine the future works program.

Funding
In August 2007, Synergy announced an underwritten finance package which closed in November 2007 and
raised $7.2 million. The Board used some of those funds to make an early repayment of the equipment
finance facility held by a subsidiary. Consequently, the group now has no loans outstanding.

At 31 December 2007, the group had approximately $6.3 million of cash on hand which will be used to
accelerate the exploration efforts and for working capital purposes.

Board appointment
In January 2008, the Synergy Board invited Mr K C Freddie Heng to join as a non-executive director. Mr
Heng is based in Singapore and has expanded the Board's reach into South East Asia.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the half-year ended 31 December 2007
1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Synergy Metals Limited (Synergy) for the half-year ended 31 December 2007
was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 14 March 2008. Synergy is
a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the
Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the group are
described in note 3.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The half-year financial report does not include all of the 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 annual financial report of Synergy
as at 30 June 2007. It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together
with the public announcements made by Synergy and its controlled entities during the half-year ended
31 December 2007 and to the date of this report in accordance with the continuous disclosure
obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

a) Basis of preparation
The half-year consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been
prepared in accordance with the requirement of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable Accounting
Standards, including AASB 134 “Interim Financial Reporting” and other mandatory professional
reporting requirements. The half-year financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except where stated.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. For the purpose of preparing the half-year
financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

b) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Synergy Metals Limited
(Synergy) and its subsidiaries (the group).

c) Significant accounting policies

The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting
policies as used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2007.

d) Changes in accounting policies

Since 1 July 2007, the group has adopted the following standards and interpretations, mandatory for
financial reporting periods beginning on and after 1 July 2007. Adoption of these Standards and
Interpretations did not have any material effect on the financial position or the performance of the
group.
• AASB 101 (revised October 2006) Presentation of Financial Statements
• AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
• AASB 2005-10 Amendments of Australian Accounting Standards (AASB 132, 101, 114, 117, 133,
139, 1, 4, 1023, and 1038)
• AASB 2007-4 Amendments of Australian Accounting Standards arising from ED 151 and Other
Amendments
• AASB 2007-7 Amendments of Australian Accounting Standards (AASB 1, AASB2, AASB 4,

9 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Mining tenements
In order to maintain in good standing, the mining and exploration tenements in which the group is
involved, the group will be required to meet the minimum conditions and expenditure obligations of the
tenements once they are granted; as well as any other obligations which may arise from arrangements
with participants over jointly held tenements. These obligations are met on a regular basis as part of
the group's on-going exploration program. At 31 December 2007, the group had annual expenditure
obligations of approximately $355,000 falling due within the next 12 months for its granted mining
tenements (At 30.6.07: $362,000).

Joint ventures
In accordance with normal industry practice, the group has entered into joint venture arrangements
with several parties for the purpose of exploring and developing various mineral interests. If a party to
a joint venture agreement were to default by not meeting its proportionate share of joint venture
obligations, then the other joint venturers will be liable to meet those obligations. In that event, the
proportionate interest in the mining tenement held by the defaulting party may be redistributed to the
remaining joint venture participants.

Capital commitments
Prior to the end of the period, the group committed to purchase a diamond drill rig from Boart Longyear
for approximately $400,000. An instalment payment of $100,000 was made at the time of the order
and the balance of $300,000 will be paid on delivery which is due at the end of March 2008.

Contractor
In February 2006, Comet Enterprises (Tas) Pty Ltd, one of the contractors to the Australian Gold Mines
NL (AGM) group, entered into voluntary administration. In his report to creditors, the administrator
recommended that creditors place Comet into liquidation and this took effect in March 2006. Synergy
has not been able to complete its audit of the amounts charged by Comet to AGM but Synergy’s
lawyers formally advised Comet’s accounting advisor (now the liquidator) of some significant
overcharging. Synergy has been frustrated in its efforts to conduct a full audit of amounts on-charged
by Comet from some of Comet’s sub-contractors. Synergy declined to pay some of Comet's invoices
once it became aware of the overcharging and moved to secure its rights with the liquidator to be able
to conduct a full audit and preserve its strong legal position.

Subsequently, Synergy had an independent valuer conduct a valuation of some of the plant and
equipment which had been supplied and/or erected by Comet. Based on that independent valuation,
Synergy wrote off approximately $1.3 million of Comet's charges during the year ended 30 June 2006.
Synergy is unlikely to be able to recover any of the overcharges from the liquidator since Comet failed
with liabilities in excess of $3 million and the liquidator has advised that they will not be fully satisfied by
the realisation of Comet's assets.

In December 2006, Synergy received advice from the liquidator that he may call some executives to
appear before the Federal Court of Australia for a public examination. In July 2007, the liquidator
requested certain information to clarify his understanding of the extent of the overcharges. Full details
were provided to the liquidator in August 2007 and at the same time Synergy briefed counsel and
prepared a comprehensive submission ready to be lodged against the liquidator should he proceed
with any further action.

In December 2007, Synergy received a request from the liquidator's lawyer for further particulars,
which were provided by Synergy to the liquidator's lawyer in January 2008. The liquidator's lawyer has
advised that the liquidator is still considering Synergy's request for access to the documents held by
the liquidator so that Synergy may complete its audit of Comet's records.

The legal advice to the Board continues to be that Synergy is in a strong position and that the ultimate
financial impact on Synergy cannot be quantified until Synergy is given full access to the records of
Comet and its sub-contractors so as to complete the audit of Comet's charges. Accordingly, it is
considered unlikely that Synergy will have to pay any additional funds to the liquidator.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF SYNERGY METALS LTD

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Synergy Metals Ltd, which comprises
the condensed balance sheet as at 31 December 2007, and the condensed income statement,
condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed cash flow statement for the half-year ended on
that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’
declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at 31
December 2007 or from time to time during the half year ended on that date.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year
financial report in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian
Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and
maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial
report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying
appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the
circumstances.

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 an Interim 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 disclosing entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2007 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 Synergy Metals Ltd,
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.

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 Synergy Metals Ltd is not in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001 including:

(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2007
and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations
Regulations 2001.
