Chairman’s Message
For the year ended 30 June 2020
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to present the 2020 Annual Report for Amani Gold Limited (ASX: ANL).
This year has seen your Company focus on growing the resources at our flagship Giro Gold Project in the Democratic
Republic of Congo.
During the year Amani completed a substantial upgrade of the Kebigada gold deposit Mineral Resource to 124Mt @
1.03g/t Au, for 4.1Moz gold (0.5g/t Au cut-off grade), within the Giro Gold Project which represents a 28% or
0.8Moz increase in contained gold over previous estimate of 75Mt @ 1.18g/t Au, for 2.9Moz gold (0.6g/t Au cut-off
grade). The new Mineral Resource for Kebigada to over 4Moz gold is a milestone for Amani and confirms our
strategy of targeted deeper drilling. Kebigada, even now, remains open at depth along the entire strike of the orebody.
Giro Gold Project global resource for Kebigada and Douze Match deposits now exceeds 4.4Moz contained gold;
with a total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 132Mt @ 1.04g/t Au, for 4.4Moz gold (0.5g/t Au
cut-off grade).
We believe we have a major gold deposit here at Giro, Amani now has a very solid resource base to move to our
aim of significant gold production from a new African gold mine.
During the later part of 2020 Amani plans to complete deep 200m spaced drilling at Kebigada. The planned drilling
campaign will involve 4 core holes, each nominally 500m in length for a total of 2,000m. Previous planned drilling
campaigns have been delayed due to the availability of diamond core drill rigs in DRC because of border crossing
closures (i.e. Covid-19 related closures).
I look forward to more exploration successes at Giro Project this year.
I take this opportunity to thank all our staff and contractors for their dedicated work in substantially advancing our
gold projects this year.
The Company takes this opportunity to acknowledged the ongoing support of our long term shareholders and
welcomes new shareholders that have invested in Amani over the past year.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
GIRO GOLD PROJECT, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (Amani 55.25%)
The Giro gold project comprises two exploration permits covering a surface area of 497km² (PE’s 5046 and 5049)
and lies within the Kilo-Moto Belt of the DRC, a significant under-explored greenstone belt which hosts Randgold
Resources’ 17 million-ounce Kibali group of deposits within 35kms of Giro (Figure 1). The nearby Kibali gold
project produces more than 600,000 oz gold per annum.
The Giro gold project area is underlain by highly prospective volcano-sedimentary lithologies in a similar structural
and lithological setting as the Kibali gold deposits. Both primary and alluvial gold was mined from two main areas,
the Giro and Tora areas, during Belgian rule and today these areas are mined extensively by artisanal miners.
Infrastructure wise, Giro gold project is well situated, gifted with easy access to the well-maintained road to Kampala,
Uganda which is highly developed.
Amani has outlined a global gold resource for Kebigada and Douze Match deposits at Giro gold project of 4.4Moz
contained gold; with a total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 132Mt @ 1.04g/t Au, for 4.4Moz
gold (0.5g/t Au cut-off grade, Figures 1 and 2, Table 5 and refer ASX Announcement 19 March 2020).
Figure 1. Map of Haute Uele Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, showing the location of the Kebigada and Douze
Match gold deposits and tenement, Giro Gold Project
On 19 March 2020, Amani announced a substantial upgrade of the Kebigada gold deposit Mineral Resource (MRE)
to 124Mt @ 1.03g/t Au, for 4.1Moz gold (0.5g/t Au cut-off grade), within the Giro gold project (Figures 1 and 2,
Table 1, see ASX Announcement 19 March 2020). The new MRE represents a 28% or 0.8Moz increase in contained
gold over previous estimate of 75Mt @ 1.18g/t Au, for 2.9Moz gold (0.6g/t Au cut-off grade, Table 3, see ASX
Announcement 27 August 2017).

For the year ended 30 June 2020
The new Kebigada resource estimate follows diamond core drilling results (Priority One holes GRDD034 and
GRDD035, Figure 2, see ASX Announcement 16 December 2019) which successfully targeted deeper high-grade
sulphide associated gold mineralisation within the central core of the Kebigada deposit. Drillholes GRDD034 and
GRDD035 are 240m apart and both outlined high-grade gold mineralisation deeper than previously intersected at the
Kebigada deposit. These gold assay results indicate the potential for the Kebigada deposit to substantially grow via
targeted deeper and along strike drilling.
The new updated Kebigada mineral resource estimate incorporates the assay results from drillholes GRDD034 and
GRD035 in addition to the following diamond core drillholes that were completed post the maiden Kebigada maiden
resource estimate;
▪ GRDD029 - 6.8m @ 3.62g/t Au from 70.3m, 6.6m @ 7.75g/t Au from 90.4m and 3.35m @ 5.55g/t Au
from 146.65m (incl. 0.7m @ 23.2g/t Au from 146.65m).
▪ GRDD031 - 35.4m @ 1.07g/t Au from 188.1 and 38.4m @ 1.17g/t Au from 231m .
▪ GRDD032 - 10m @ 4.36g/t Au from 102m (incl. 4.05m @ 9.3g/t Au from 103.75m) and 88.1m @ 2.13g/t
Au from 221.4m (incl. 3m at 35.86g/t Au from 238m.
▪ GRDD034 - 58m @ 1.61g/t Au from 204m (including 11m @ 2.75g/t Au from 208m and 10m @ 3.26g/t
Au from 228m and 4m @ 1.82g/t Au from 254m), 23.65m @ 1.183g/t Au from 299m (including 1m @
10.5g/t Au from 303m and 1m @ 3.72g/t Au from 308m) and 21m @ 0.76g/t Au from 335m (including 4m
@ 1.48g/t Au from 335m and 1m @ 2.02g/t Au from 355m).
▪ GRD035 - 10.5m @ 1.08g/t Au from surface, 4.5m @ 4.63g/t Au from 31.5m (incl. 0.55m @ 27.3g/t Au
from 32.45m), 38.5m @ 2.22g/t Au from 278m (incl. 3m @ 16.93g/t Au from 313m), 3m @ 1.96g/t Au
from 477m and 9m @ 1.89g/t Au from 484m (incl. 1m @ 12.9g/t Au from 487m).
Kebigada Resource Estimate - Summary
Amani commissioned H&S Consultants Pty Ltd (H&SC) to generate a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the
Kebigada deposit (Figures 1 and 2, see ASX Announcement 19 March 2020), which forms part of the Giro gold
project, located in northeast Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The area assessed in the MRE contains 243 drillholes totalling 29,358m, including 29 diamond core (DD) holes and
214 reverse circulation (RC) holes. Typically for Kebigada deposit the DD core was sawn longitudinally in half,
producing samples with an average weight of between approximately 3 and 4 kg. The same half was continuously
sampled on nominal 1 m intervals. The sample interval was adjusted in order to honour geological contacts. The RC
samples were passed through a riffle splitter three times, after which approximately 5 kg was taken as a reference
sample and 2 kg was weighed and labelled for laboratory dispatch. The samples were crushed and split in an
accredited laboratory to produce a 50g charge for fire assay with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish.
The mineralisation at Kebigada strikes at approximately 335° so the block model and data were rotated clockwise by
25° to best align model block with mineralisation. Wireframe surfaces were generated for base of laterite and base
of saprolite using the drill hole logs and used to divide the mineralisation into three zones – laterite, saprolite and
fresh rock. Mineralisation dips 70° west (in rotated space) in the saprolite and fresh rock but is flat in the laterite
zone. Barren intrusives occur within the mineralised zone and were assumed to be parallel to the gold mineralisation.
H&SC produced a wireframe surface representing topography based on the drill hole collars.

Figure 2. Map of Giro Gold Project, showing Kebigada and Douze Match deposits, tenement, surface geology, prospect
locations, Au in soil anomalies and Peteku RC drillholes PTRC001-PTRC004
Gold concentration was estimated by recoverable MIK (multiple indicator kriging) on rotated composite data and
model blocks using GS3 software, then compiled and evaluated in Datamine. H&SC assumed that Kebigada will be
selectively mined by open pit and the estimates reflect a selective mining unit (SMU) of 5x5x5m.
The majority of drilling at Kebigada is on a grid with a nominal spacing of 50 m between drill lines and 50 m along
the drill lines. The dominant sample length is 1.0 m and a nominal composite length of 2.0 m was chosen for data
analysis and resource estimation.
A three-pass search strategy was used for the resource estimates, with initial radii of 70x70x14m, and the search
ellipse rotated parallel to the orientation of each zone. Blocks estimated in the first search pass and restricted to the
central part of the deposit were classified as Indicated (effectively 50x50m drill hole spacing), while all other
estimated blocks were classified as Inferred. The MRE is restricted to an elevation of 560m, which is a nominal depth
of 300m below surface.

Review of Operations
For the year ended 30 June 2020
The weathering zones - laterite, saprolite and fresh rock - were used to assign average measured densities to the block
model and all tonnages are estimated on a dry weight basis.
There has been limited mining of the upper part of the Kebigada deposit in the Belgian colonial era and by artisanal
miners. This is reflected in “No Sample” intervals in the drilling, which were used to generate an indicator model
that identifies the proportion and location of voids in the model. Tonnage and grade in the model were then depleted
assuming that the highest-grade material was preferentially removed.
The Kebigada MRE at a gold cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t has a strike length of approximately 1,400 m and a horizontal
width up to 400 m. The MRE starts at surface and is reported to a maximum depth of 300 m. The resource estimates
at a gold cut-off of 0.5 g/t are shown in Table 1 and resource estimates at a range of gold cut-offs in Table 2.
The preferred gold cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t assumes that mineralisation can be mined economically at this grade in an
open pit, based on the current metal price.

The resource estimate was validated in several ways, including visual and statistical comparison of block and drill
hole grades, examination of grade-tonnage data, and comparison with the previous MSA Group (Pty) Ltd (MSA)
model (see ASX Announcement 27 August 2017).
As expected, the model represents a smoothed version of the original samples, with less of the local variability present
in the sample data. Grade trends within the zone are aligned with the respective search and variogram orientations,
and reasonably reflect interpreted trends in the mineralisation.
The new model indicates a several areas where mineralisation is not closed-off and may continue, including at depth
along the entire strike of the orebody and the western edge of the deposit.

For the year ended 30 June 2020
Limited metallurgical testwork demonstrates that higher grade mineralisation from Kebigada is amenable to CIL
only or combined CIL and gravity recovery.
Planned Exploration Activities
Drillholes GRDD034 and GRDD035 are 240m apart (see ASX Announcement 19 March 2020) and have both
outlined high-grade gold mineralisation deeper than previously intersected at the Kebigada deposit. These gold assay
results and the current Kebigada MRE indicate the potential for the Kebigada deposit to substantially grow via
targeted deeper drilling along the entire strike of the orebody.
During the later part of 2020 Amani plans to complete 200m spaced drilling north and south of drillholes GRDD034
and GRDD035 and similar spaced drillholes along the western edge of the deposit. This planned drilling campaign
will involve 4 core holes, each nominally 500m in length for a total of 2,000m.
Giro Gold Project - Global Mineral Resource Estimates
Amani has previously outlined a gold resource at Kebigada within the Giro gold project of 45.62Mt @ 1.46g/t Au,
for 2.14Moz gold (0.9g/t Au cut-off grade) or 24.76Mt @ 1.27g/t Au, for 1.01Moz gold (0.6g/t Au cut-off grade,

Peteku Prospect
On 6 January 2020, Amani announced that Reverse Circulation drilling operations (holes PTRC001 - PTRC004) at
Peteku prospect, Giro Gold Project, had returned the following significant high-grade gold assay results (refer ASX
Announcements 4 November 2019 and 6 January 2020);
▪ PTRC004: 3m @ 3.18 g/t Au from 36m, 6m @ 1.13 g/t Au from 62m and 1m @ 3.39 g/t Au from 102m
▪ PTRC003: 2m @ 1.53 g/t Au from 9m and 1m @ 1.59 g/t Au from 55m
▪ PTRC002: 2m @ 3.45 g/t Au from 46m and 1m @ 1.56 g/t Au from 80m
▪ PTRC001: 8m @ 1.24 g/t Au from 63m
Peteku prospect is located approximately 4km southwest of Kebigada gold deposit within Exploration Permit PE5046
(Figure 2) and is currently an active artisanal gold mining site. Peteku pit is located within granite and mafic volcanic
rocks. Primary target for the artisanal miners is oxide gold hosted by quartz veins. The Peteku quartz veins and
structures strike east-west and dip steeply to the north. Peteku is currently an active artisanal gold mining site with
the pit approximate dimensions of 50m X 40m and 20m deep.
RC holes PTRC001 - PTRC004 were completed at depths of 77m to 120m and all have successfully targeted near
surface gold mineralisation below a regional gold in soil anomaly (Figure 2).
Drillhole PTRC004 was collared in granite and drilled with an inclination of 60° and an azimuth of 180° and targeted
near surface gold mineralisation (Figure 2, Table 6). PTRC004 intersected intervals of carbonate-silica-chlorite
altered mafic volcanic with pyrite mineralization from 47m to 49m (2m interval containing <1% pyrite), from 53m
to 57m (4m interval containing <1% pyrite), from 60m to 70m (10m interval containing 1-2% pyrite), from 82m to
87m (5m interval containing <1% pyrite) and 96m to 99m (3m interval containing <1% pyrite) and intervals of quartz
veins with pyrite mineralisation from 99m to 103 (4m interval containing 1% pyrite) m. This style of alteration and
sulphide mineralisation of mafic volcanic and quartz veins are typically good indicators of gold mineralisation at
Giro, specifically the Kebigada deposit. Best gold assay results; 3m @ 3.18 g/t Au from 36m, 6m @ 1.13 g/t Au from
62m and 1m @ 3.39 g/t Au from 102m (Figure 4).
Drillhole PTRC003 was collared in granite and drilled with an inclination of 60° and an azimuth of 180° and targeted
near surface gold mineralisation (Figure 2, Table 6). PTRC003 did not intersect intervals of altered granite or quartz
veins. Best gold assay results; 2m @ 1.53 g/t Au from 9m Au and 1m @ 1.59 g/t Au from 55m (Figure 4).
Drillhole PTRC002 was collared in granite and drilled with an inclination of 60° and an azimuth of 180° and targeted
near surface gold mineralisation (Figure 2, Table 6). PTRC002 intersected intervals of silica altered granite with
pyrite mineralization from 54m to 58m (4m interval containing <1% pyrite) and from 62m to 66m (4m interval
containing 1% pyrite) and intervals of quartz veins with pyrite mineralisation from 8m to 10m (2m interval containing
<1% pyrite) and from 83m to 84m (1m interval containing <1% pyrite). This style of alteration and sulphide
mineralisation of granite and quartz veins are typically good indicators of gold mineralisation at Giro. Best gold assay
results; 2m @ 3.45 g/t Au from 46m and 1m @ 1.56 g/t Au from 80m (Figure 5).
Drillhole PTRC001 was collared in granite and drilled with an inclination of 60° and an azimuth of 180° and targeted
near surface gold mineralisation (Figure 2, Table 6). PTRC001 intersected intervals of silica altered granite with
Page 10
Amani Gold Limited
Review of Operations
For the year ended 30 June 2020
pyrite mineralization from 43m to 71m (28m interval containing 1% pyrite) and from 91m to 98m (7m interval
containing 1% pyrite) and an interval of quartz vein with pyrite mineralisation from 98m to 103m (5m interval
containing 1% pyrite). This style of alteration and sulphide mineralisation of granite and quartz veins are typically
good indicators of gold mineralisation at Giro. Best gold assay results; 8m @ 1.24 g/t Au from 63m (Figure 6).
As significant gold mineralisation has been intersected in these initial four drillholes, a further drilling program of
circa 10 RC holes, each nominally 150m in length is planned. This drilling will target mineralisation along strike and
deeper below the Peteku open pit.

Project”) located in north-east DRC within the Niangara, Dungu and Rungu Territories of the Haut Uele Province
(see ASX announcement 19 August 2019, Figure 7).
The Gada Project lies approximately 80kms to the west of Amani’s Giro Gold Project, 382kms by road. The Gada
Project can be accessed by air via an unpaved airstrip at Dungu 50km from the Gada Project. The Dungu airstrip is
3kms in length and operated by MONUSCO (United Nations Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the Democratic
Republic of Congo). Mobile network communication services with intermittent 3G/2G internet are available with
field supplies such as food and fuel available at Dungu.

Giro Gold Projects
Given the location, geology and scale of the Gada tenement package, as well as the early stage assessment carried
out across the project, it is clear that the package is highly prospective for gold mineralisation. Local artisanal gold
mining has been undertaken for many years within shallow pits of depth to generally less than 10m.
Amani intends to conduct a modern exploration program to determine potential target areas for systematic exploration
work, including extensive soil sampling and RC drilling programs over several of the best prospects at Gada. Field
teams have already completed channel and rock sampling of several actively worked artisanal pits, returning
exceptional gold assay results.
The geology of the Gada Gold Project area consists of porphyritic granites and gneiss intruded by NE-SW trending
rocks of the Kibalian volcano-sediments striking between 10 to 55 degrees with mineralised subvertical and
occasionally shallow dipping SE structures forming a mineralised open-ended corridor of approximately 10km long
and at least 250m wide. In the northern Exploration Permits, there are also variably magnetic outcrops of banded iron
formation which trend E-W along the contacts with granites which occur along the eastern contact of Kibalian

volcano-sedimentary rocks with the granites. A second NE-SW trending elongated oval shaped intrusion of Kibalian
volcano-sediments also lies within the southern part of the Exploration Permits on either side of the Bomokadi River.
Figure 4. Map showing the potentially prospective strike length of mineralisation and the geology of tenement PR11816 and
rock chip and channel sampling results – Gada Gold Project
The Gada Project area has complex with major NE-SW major structures that are cut by NW-SE, NNE-SSW, E-W
and ENE-WSW transfer faults which could host gold deposits at the intersections. The porphyritic granites also show
some micro-folding and faulting which gives an indication of the general structural setting within the area (Figure
8).
Mineralisation is hosted in quartz veins and structures which are believed to be open at depth. Artisanal miners have
mined quartz veins and associated structures at many places within the Gada Project area. Typically, high gold grades
are mined by the artisanal miners, but the miners have been unable to carry out mining below approximately 40m
due to flooding and inability to dig through hard fresh rock.
Initial exploration of the Gada tenements included site visits and rock chip and channel sampling of known gold
occurrences, artisanal pits and mineralised outcrops were completed within tenement PR11816 (see ASX
announcement 19 August 2019). The following prospects and artisanal pits were visited; Mazizi, Mbugo, Mabanda,
Munguba, Arakaki, Mundial, Mangbetu, Gada, Medi Medi, Gbaka, Ndebi, Elu and Gomba and a total of 51 rock
chip and channel samples were collected and assayed. Best assay results include;
▪ Mbugo Pit - 8.99g/t Au (Rock Chip), 2m @ 10.6g/t Au and 1.6m @ 2.1g/t Au (Channel Samples).
▪ Mabanda Pit (Dubai) - 0.5m @ 47.7g/t Au and 0.5m @ 13.4g/t Au (Channel Samples).
▪ Mabanda Pit (Dix Huit 18) - 3.2m @ 6.41g/t Au (Channel Sample).
▪ Munguba Pit - 1.14g/t Au (Rock Chip), 1.5m @ 7.57g/t Au, 1.2m @ 2.14g/t Au and 1m @ 1.44g/t Au
(Channel Samples).
▪ Arikazi Pit - 2m @ 11.16g/t Au (Channel Sample).
▪ Mangbetu Pit - 5.12m @ 1.27g/t Au, incl. 1m @ 3.8g/t Au (Channel Sample).
Gada Gold Project - Planned Exploration Activities
Amani plans to rapidly progressed exploration at Gada with Phase 1 soil sampling over previously identified Priority
targets (Figure 5). Phase 1 Sampling is expected to start in the later part of 2020 and comprise 200 X 50 spaced

samples (704 samples). Phase 2 sampling will infill the Priority area and comprise 400 X 200 spaced samples (1074
samples, Figure 5).
Soil sampling results at Gada will determine the location of an initial 5,000m Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling
campaign. This drilling campaign is expected to commence in the later part of 2020.

GOLD TRADING, TANZANIA (Amani 60%)
Amani secured a Gold Dealer Licence in Tanzania in November 2019 via a 60% equity interest in Amago Trading
Limited. The Gold Dealer Licence No. DL013/GTA/2019-2020 was granted to Amago by Ministry of Minerals
Mining Commission, The United Republic of Tanzania.
Amago Trading Limited sources gold from local artisanal miners from the Geita region of Tanzania. The gold is
smelted at the Amago office and the local miners are paid at an agreed price. The gold is transported to a Hong Kong
smelter by a security firm. Amago receives payment for the smelted gold from the Hong Kong gold refinery the same
day as is processed. Amago pays the Hong Kong smelter a processing fee of $8 US per ounce of smelted gold.
Revenue is recognized when control of the goods and services have passed to the gold refinery and costs incurred or
to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Control is considered passed to the gold refinery
at the time of “delivery of goods to the customer”, hence revenue is recognized at a point in time.
Amani temporarily ceased gold trading in Tanzania in early 2020 when Covid-19 made it difficult for staff to travel
and source gold in the Geita region.

Directors’ Report
For the year ended 30 June 2020

interests, prospective for precious metals and energy in DRC. Gold trading was also carried out in Tanzania.
RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS
The consolidated loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $3,983,939 (30 June 2019: $32,856,510). No
dividends were paid during the year and the Directors do not recommend payment of a dividend.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share for the year was 0.06 cents (30 June 2019: 1.35 cents).
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS / OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Group is engaged in mineral exploration in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) and gold trading in
Tanzania.
A review of the Group’s operations, including information on exploration activity and gold trading and results
thereof, financial position, strategies and projects of the consolidated entity during the year ended 30 June 2020 is
provided in this Financial Report and, in particular, in the "Review of Operations" section immediately preceding
this Directors’ Report. The Group’s financial position, financial performance and use of funds information for the
financial year is provided in the financial statements that follow this Directors’ Report.
The Group is primarily an exploration , although gold trading in Tanzania contributed in a minor way to operating
revenue during the year. Gold trading was certainled in early 2020 due travel restrictions caused by Covid-19. The
Directors’ consider the Group’s performance to be primarily based on the success of exploration activity, acquisition
of additional prospective mineral interests and, in general, the value added to the Group’s mineral portfolio during
the course of the financial year.
Whilst performance can be gauged by reference to market capitalisation, that measure is also subject to numerous
external factors. These external factors can be specific to the Group, generic to the mining industry and generic to
the stock market as a whole and the Board and management would only be able to control a small number of these
factors.
The Group’s business strategy for the financial year ahead and, in the foreseeable future, is to continue exploration
activity on the Group’s existing mineral project, identify and assess new mineral project opportunities in the DRC
and review development strategies where individual projects have reached a stage that allows for such an assessment.
Due to the inherent risky nature of the Group’s activities, the Directors are unable to comment on the likely results
or success of these strategies. The Group’s activities are also subject to numerous risks, mostly outside the Board’s
and management’s control. These risks can be specific to the Group, generic to the mining industry and generic to
the stock market as a whole. The key risks, expressed in summary form, affecting the Group and its future
performance include but are not limited to:
• Geological and technical risk posed to exploration and commercial exploitation success;
• Sovereign risk, change in government policy, change in mining and fiscal legislation;
• Prevention of access by reason of political or civil unrest, disease, outbreak of hostilities, inability to obtain
regulatory or landowner consents or approvals, or native title issues;
force majeure events;
•
• change in metal market conditions;
Page 20
Amani Gold Limited
Directors’ Report
For the year ended 30 June 2020
• mineral title tenure and renewal risks; and
• capital requirement and lack of future funding.
Amago Trading Limited sources gold from local artisanal miners from the Geita region of Tanzania. The gold trading
activities were ceased in March 2020 when Covid-19 made it difficult for staff to travel and source gold in the Geita
region.
This is not an exhaustive list of risks faced by the Group or an investment in it. There are other risks generic to the
stock market and the world economy as a whole and other risks generic to the mining industry, all of which can
impact on the Group.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
In the opinion of the Directors, significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the year
ended 30 June 2020 were as follows:
• On 16 August 2019, the Company announced a placement to raise up to $2.5M through the issue of 883M
fully paid ordinary shares (New Shares) at a price of $0.003. On 22 October, the Company announced the
completion of the placement.
• On 19 August 2019, the Company announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
with LA SOCIÉTÉ MINIÈRE DE KILO-MOTO SA (“SOKIMO”), to acquire six (6) highly prospective
gold Exploration Permits in the DRC (Gada Project). The MoU is for an initial six month period during which
the company has the right to carry out legal and technical due diligence and to explore the Gada Project
tenements. Following the initial six month due diligence period, the Company at its discretion, will negotiate
and enter into a definitive agreement with SOKIMO.
• On 29 January 2020, the Company announced that it has issued Convertible Notes with a face value of $2.1M
(‘Notes’) to a Hong Kong based investment company Neo Gold Limited (‘Neo Gold’), with the proceeds
available to the Company immediately as the New Shares offered under the Convertible Notes come within
the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Notes have a 24-month
maturity from the date of issue (‘Maturity Date’) and will attract interest at a rate of 2.5% per annum,
commencing from the date which is 4 months from the date of issue. Neo Gold may elect to convert all or
part of the outstanding Notes at any time prior to the Maturity Date into new shares (“New Shares”) at $0.003
per share. The Company also announced that it has received an additional commitment from Neo Gold that
will raise up to a further $3.0 million through the issue of up to 1 billion fully paid ordinary shares (Placement
Shares) at an issue price of $0.003 per share (Placement). Shareholder approval for the issue was received at
a General Meeting held on 25 March 2020. Completion of the Placement was duly approved at a General
Meeting of shareholders held on 25 March 2020.
• On 20 April 2020, the Company completed the placement of 699,047,035 shares at $0.003 per share to
Shining Mining Limited as approved by Shareholders at a reconvened General Meeting held on 8 April 2020
to settle a liability of $2,097,141 to Simon Cong, the sole shareholder of Shining Mining Limited.
• On 11 June 2020, the Company advised that Neo Gold had not completed the Placement and failed to pay
the $3.0M, in breach of its contractual obligations. The Company is currently considering its position which
may include the possibility of legal action against Neo Gold.
- The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted
the entity up to 30 June 2020, gold trading in Tanzania was certainled in early 2020 due travel
restrictions caused by Covid-19. Planned exploration activities in DRC continued throughout the
year and were not significantly interrupted by Covid-19.
•
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
Since the end of the financial year and to the date of this report no matter or circumstance has arisen which has
significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those
Page 21

Directors’ Report
For the year ended 30 June 2020
operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years other than the matters referred
to below.
• On 23 June 2020, the Company announced that it had completed a bookbuild for a two tranche placement to
sophisticated and professional investors to raise up to $2.55 million (“Placement”) to fund ongoing
exploration activities at the Giro and Gada gold projects in the DRC and meet ongoing working capital
requirements. Under the fundraising, the Company agreed to issue up to 2,550 million fully paid ordinary
shares at an issue price of 0.1 cents per share (Placement Shares), raising up to $2.55 million (before costs).
Subject to receipt of Shareholder approval at a General Meeting scheduled to take place on Friday, 14 August
2020, each Placement Share will include 1.5 free attaching listed options (Options), with each having an
exercise price of 0.15 cents and expiry date three years from date of issue. Tranche 1 of the Placement, which
comprised 1,003,700,000 Shares, was issued under the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX
Listing Rule 7.1, and was completed on 2 July 2020. Tranche 2 of the Placement, for up to 1,548,800,000
shares, is subject to Shareholder approval at the General Meeting. Due to Covid-19 travel restrictions
impacting on shareholders ability to physically attend and participate in the General Meeting that was
scheduled for 14 August 2020 a motion put to a quorum of shareholders present to adjourn the meeting was
carried. On 14 September Company advised shareholders that the adjourned General Meeting of Amani will
be reconvened and held on a fully virtual basis on Thursday 15 October 2020 commencing at 11.00am
(Adelaide time, ACST).
• On 17 August 2020, Mr Grant Thomas resigned as Technical Director of the Company effective immediately.
Mr Thomas has agreed to provide assistance for a three-month period to the Company to ensure a smooth
transition to new management.
• On 27 August 2020, Mr Chan Sik Lap resigned as Managing Director of the Company effective immediately.
Mr Chan has agreed to provide assistance for a three-month period to the Company to ensure a smooth
transition to new management. Mr Klaus Eckhof will assume the role of Executive Chairman in an interim
capacity while a new Managing Director is sought.
• On 27 August 2020, Mr Maohuai Cong was appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director. Mr Cong
is currently General Director of Amani Consulting and Director of Shining Mining Limited, which is the
Company’s largest shareholder.
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted
the entity up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the
reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian
Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel
restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may
significantly affect the entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the entity's state of affairs in future
financial years.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company’s objective is to maximise shareholder value through the discovery and delineation of significant
mineral deposits. The Directors will also continue to assess additional opportunities within the mineral and energy
sectors in Central Africa.
The Directors are unable to comment on the likely results from the Company’s planned exploration and pre-
development activities due to the speculative nature of such activities.

There were 9 directors’ meetings held during the year. However, matters of Board business have also been resolved
by circular resolutions of Directors, which are a record of decisions made at a number of informal meetings of the
Directors held to control, implement and monitor the Group’s activities throughout the period.
At present, the Company does not have any formally constituted committees of the Board. The Directors consider
that the Group is not of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to justify the formation of special committees.

Amani Gold Limited
Directors’ Report
For the year ended 30 June 2020
Remuneration philosophy
The Board reviews the remuneration packages applicable to the executive Directors, Managing Director and Chief
Executive Officer, and non-executive Directors on an annual basis. The broad remuneration policy is to ensure the
remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and level of performance and that
remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality. Independent advice
on the appropriateness of remuneration packages is obtained, where necessary, although no such independent advice
was sought during the financial year.
Remuneration is not linked to past company performance but rather towards generating future shareholder wealth
through share price performance. As a minerals explorer, the Company does not generate operating revenues or
earnings and company performance, at this stage, can only be judged by exploration success and ultimately
shareholder value. Market capitalisation is one measure of shareholder value but this is subject to many external
factors over which the Company has no control. Consequently linking remuneration to past performance is difficult
to implement and not in the best interests of the Company. Presently, total fixed remuneration for senior executives
is determined by reference to market conditions and incentives for out performance are provided by way of options
or performance rights over unissued shares. The Directors believe that this best aligns the interests of the shareholders
with those of the senior executives.
Remuneration committee
The Company does not have a formally constituted remuneration committee of the Board. The Directors consider
that the Group is not of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to justify the formation of a Remuneration
committee.
The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors and senior managers
on a periodical basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring
maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and management team.
Remuneration structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive Directors and executive
Director remuneration is separate and distinct.
Non-executive Directors remuneration
Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and
retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.
Structure
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive Directors shall
be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then
divided between the directors as agreed. The present limit of approved aggregate remuneration is $200,000 per year.
The Board aims to reviews the remuneration packages applicable to the non-executive Directors on a regular basis.
The Board considers fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking its review
process. The Board determines the level of remuneration to be paid to non-executive Directors as considered
appropriate in the circumstances. Non-executive Directors fees are currently $40,500 per annum.
The remuneration of the non-executive Directors for the year ending 30 June 2020 is detailed in Table 2 of this report.

Amani Gold Limited
Directors’ Report
For the year ended 30 June 2020
Executive Directors remuneration
Objective
The Company aims to reward Executive Directors with a level of remuneration commensurate with their position
and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:
• align the interests of the Executive Directors with those of shareholders;
• link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and
• ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
Structure
Remuneration consists of the following key elements:
• Fixed remuneration
• Variable remuneration
Fixed remuneration
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the
position and is competitive in the market. The Board aims to review fixed remuneration annually and the process
consists of a review of companywide, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration
in the market and internal and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practice.
The fixed component of the Executive Director remuneration for the year ending 30 June 2020 is detailed in Table 2
of this report.
Variable remuneration – Long Term Incentive (‘LTI’)
Objective
The objective of the LTI plan is to reward executives and senior managers in a manner which aligns this element of
remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.
As such LTI grants are only made to executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and
thus have a direct impact on the Group’s performance.
Structure
LTI grants to executives are delivered in the form of options and performance rights. The issue of options /
performance rights as part of the remuneration packages of executive and non-executive directors is an established
practice of junior public listed companies and, in the case of the Company, has the benefit of conserving cash whilst
properly rewarding each of the directors.
Remuneration is not linked to past group performance but rather towards generating future shareholder wealth
through share price performance. Amani Gold Ltd listed on 14 December 2006 at 20c per share and the share price
at 30 June 2020 was 0.15 cents (2019: 0.2 cents). With the exception of the 2017 year, the Company has recorded a
loss each financial year to date as it carries out exploration activities on its tenements. The profit recorded in the 2017
year was due to the disposal of foreign subsidiaries. No dividends have been paid.

Directors’ Report
For the year ended 30 June 2020
Performance rights will vest subject to meeting specific performance conditions. Tranche 1, 2 and 3 performance rights have
market vesting conditions being a daily volume weighted average share price at the vesting price outlined in the table above over
a minimum of 10 trading days (in the case of the 27/05/22 and 11/11/22 performance rights) and 20 trading days (in the case o f
the 31/12/20 performance rights). Market vesting conditions have not been met and the rights have not been converted into
shares.
Each right is converted to one ordinary share upon vesting. The performance rights vest when the vesting conditions are met. No
performance rights will vest if the conditions are not satisfied, hence the minimum value of the performance rights yet to vest is
nil. The maximum value of the performance rights yet to best has been determined as the amount of the grant date fair value of
the perofrmance rights that is yet to be expensed.
The fair values at grant date of performance rights issued were determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model or Barrier
model simulation that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the rights, the share price at grant date and expected price
volatility of the underlying share, and the risk free interest rate for the term of the rights. The model inputs for performance rights
granted in year included:

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS
The Company’s Constitution requires it to indemnify directors and officers of any entity within the consolidated
entity against liabilities incurred to third parties and against costs and expenses incurred in defending civil or criminal
proceedings, except in certain circumstances. An indemnity is also provided to the Company’s auditors under the
terms of their engagement. Directors and officers of the consolidated entity have been insured against all liabilities
and expenses arising as a result of work performed in their respective capacities, to the extent permitted by law. The
insurance premium, amounting to $18,191 (2019 - $16,096) relates to:
•
•
costs and expenses incurred by the relevant officers in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal and
whatever the outcome;
other liabilities that may arise from their position, with the exception of conduct involving a wilful breach of
duty or improper use of information or position to gain a personal advantage.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The consolidated entity’s exploration activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo during the year were subject to
environmental laws, regulations and permit conditions in that jurisdiction. There have been no known breaches of
environmental laws or permit conditions while conducting operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo during
the year.
The Directors have considered compliance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 which
requires entities to report annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. For the measurement period 1 July 2019
to 30 June 2020 the Directors have assessed that there are no current reporting requirements, but may be required to
do so in the future.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the
auditor’s expertise and experience with the Company and/or consolidated entity is important. During the year ended
30 June 2020 BDO Corporate Finance provided $1,750 (2019: $2,500) in non-audit related services. Refer to Note
4 in the financial statements for further details. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by
the auditor did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act.

Amani Gold Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards,
other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group
Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Amani Gold Limited and its subsidiaries (the
“group” or the “consolidated entity”). Amani Gold Limited is a listed for-profit public company, incorporated and
domiciled in Australia. During the year ended 30 June 2020, the consolidated entity conducted operations in
Australia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The financial statements have also been prepared on a historical
cost basis. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
Going Concern Basis
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern” which
assumes the Group will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realise its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
The Group has operating cash inflows, including gold trading sales and interest income, and has incurred net cash
outflows from operating and investing activities for the year ended 30 June 2020 of $9,049,488 (2019: $6,043,273).
At 30 June 2020, the Group had cash balances of $1,129,978 (2019: $3,521,896).
In addition, on 31 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a global health emergency
because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (COVID-19 outbreak) and the risks to the
international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. Because of the rapid increase in
exposure globally, on 11 March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. These events are
having a significant negative impact on world stock markets, currencies and general business activities. The full
impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve at the date of this report.
As at the date of this report, the Group is not able to estimate the full effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results,
financial condition, or liquidity for the 2020 financial year. If the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse
effect on the Group’s results, financial position, and liquidity.
The directors have prepared cash flow projections that support the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern.
These cash flow projections assume the Group obtains sufficient additional funding from shareholders or other
parties. If such funding is not achieved, the Group plans to reduce expenditure significantly, which may result in an
impairment loss on the book value of exploration and evaluation expenditure recorded at reporting date.
These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast doubt upon the Group’s ability to continue as a
going concern. The ongoing operation of the Group is dependent upon:
• The Group raising additional funding from shareholders or other parties; and/or
• The Group reducing expenditure in line with available funding.
The Group has the ability to seek to raise funds from shareholders or other investors and intends to raise such funds
as and when required to complete its projects. Subsequent to year end, the Group announced that it had completed a
bookbuild for a two tranche placement to sophisticated and professional investors to raise up to $2.55 million to fund
ongoing exploration activities at the Giro and Gada gold projects in the DRC and meet ongoing working capital
requirements. Under the fundraising, the Company agreed to issue up to 2,550 million fully paid ordinary shares at
an issue price of 0.1 cents per share, raising up to $2.55 million (before costs). Subject to receipt of Shareholder
approval at a General Meeting scheduled to take place on Friday, 14 August 2020, each Placement Share will include
1.5 free attaching listed options, with each having an exercise price of 0.15 cents and expiry date three years from
date of issue. Tranche 1 of the Placement, which comprised 1,003,700,000 Shares, was issued under the Company’s
Page 39
Amani Gold Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and was completed on 2 July 2020. Tranche 2 of the
Placement, for up to 1,548,800,000 shares, is subject to Shareholder approval at the General Meeting. Due to Covid-
19 travel retrictions impacting on shareholders ability to physically attend and participate in the General Meeting that
was scheduled for 14 August 2020 a motion put to a quorum of shareholders present to adjourn the meeting was
carried. On 11 September Company advised shareholders that the adjourned General Meeting of Amani will be
reconvened and held on a fully virtual basis on Thursday 15 October 2020 commencing at 11.00am (Adelaide time,
ACST).
In the longer term, the development of economically recoverable mineral deposits found on the Group’s existing or
future exploration properties depends on the ability of the Group to obtain financing through equity financing, debt
financing or other means. If the Group’s exploration programs are ultimately successful, additional funds will be
required to develop the Group’s properties and to place them into commercial production. The ability of the Group
to arrange such funding in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the
business performance of the Group. There can be no assurance that the Group will be successful in its efforts to
arrange additional financing, if needed, on terms satisfactory to the Group. If adequate financing is not available, the
Group may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate its current or future exploration activities or
relinquish rights to certain of its interests. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could cause the
Group to forfeit its interests in some or all of its properties and reduce or terminate its operations.
Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its
liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial
statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the group not continue as a going
concern.
Adoption of New and Revised Standards and change in Accounting Standards
Early adoption of accounting standards
The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting year
beginning 1 July 2019.
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
A new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period for which the Group has adopted:
• AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 Leases
Effective 1 July 2019, AASB 16 has replaced AASB 117 Leases and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement
Contains a Lease.
AASB16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring the recognition of assets and liabilities for all leases,
together with options to exclude leases where the lease term is 12 months or less, or where the underlying asset is of
low value. AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting in AASB 117, with the distinction between
operating leases and finance leases being retained. The Group does not have significant leasing activities acting as a
lessor.
(a) Transition Method and Practical Expedients Utilised
The Group adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach, with recognition of transitional adjustments
on the date of initial application (1 July 2019), without restatement of comparative figures. The Group elected to
apply the practical expedient to not reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application.
Contracts entered into before the transition date which were not identified as leases under AASB 17 and IFRIC 4
were not reassessed. The definition of a lease under AASB 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed
on or after 1 July 2019.
Page 40
Amani Gold Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
AASB 16 provides for certain optional practical expedients, including those related to the initial adoption of the
standard. The Group applied the following practical expedients when applying AASB 16 to leases previously
classified as operating leases under AASB 117:
• Apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
• Exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of initial application for leases
where the right-of-use asset was determined as if AASB 16 had been applied since the commencement date;
• Reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as opposed to preparing an impairment review
under AASB 36 as at the date of initial application; and
• Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of
lease term remaining as of the date of initial application.
As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether
the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. Under AASB 16, the Group recognises
right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases. However, the Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use
assets and lease liabilities for some leases of low value assets based on the value of the underlying asset when new
or for short-term leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.
The impact of the adoption of the standard on the group was not material.
New and amended standards not yet adopted by the Group
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2020
reporting year and have not been early adopted by the group. The only significant new accounting standard not yet
adopted relates to Interpretation 23 ‘Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments’, however management do not
believe this to have a significant impact on the group’s financial statements.
There are no other significant Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that were recently issued
or amended but are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group for the year ended
30 June 2020.
Gold Trading
Amani secured Gold Dealer Licence in Tanzania in November 2019 via a 60% equity interest in Amago Trading
Limited. The Gold Dealer Licence No. DL013/GTA/2019-2020 was granted to Amago by Ministry of Minerals
Mining Commission, The United Republic of Tanzania.
Amago Trading Limited sources gold from local artisanal miners from the Geita region of Tanzania. The gold is
smelted at the Amago office and the local miners are paid at an agreed price. The gold is transported to a Hong Kong
smelter by a security firm. Amago receives payment for the smelted gold from the Hong Kong gold refinery the
same day as is processed. Amago pays the Hong Kong smelter a processing fee of $8 US per ounce of smelted gold.
Revenue is recognized when control of the goods and services have passed to the gold refinery and costs incurred or
to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Control is considered passed to the gold refinery
at the time of “delivery of goods to the customer”, hence revenue is recognized at a point in time.

and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the
group is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect
those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using
consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses
and profit or losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity and cease to be consolidated
from the date on which control is transferred out of the consolidated entity.
Parent Entity Financial Information
The financial information for the parent entity, Amani Gold Limited, disclosed in Note 23 has been prepared on the
same basis as the consolidated financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid
investments readily convertible to cash.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
The functional and presentation currency of Amani Gold Limited is Australian dollars.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the
date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate
of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates ruling at the date
of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of
exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settling foreign
currency transactions, as well as from restating foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, are
recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow
hedges or where they relate to differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net
investment in a foreign entity.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date
the fair value was determined.
The functional currencies of the overseas subsidiaries are as follows:
Democratic Republic of Congo, Hong Kong, Tanzania and Kenya subsidiaries United States Dollars (USD).
At the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these overseas subsidiaries are translated into the
presentation currency of Amani Gold Limited at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period and income and
expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. All resulting exchange differences are
recognised in other comprehensive income as a separate component of equity (foreign currency translation reserve).
On disposal of a foreign entity, the cumulative exchange differences recognised in foreign currency translation
reserves relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.
Taxes
Income tax
Deferred income tax is provided for on all temporary differences at reporting date between the tax base of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business
combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability
is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except where it
relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against
equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available
against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no
adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient
future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed
by the law. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and only recognised to the
extent that sufficient future assessable income is expected to be obtained.
At the reporting date, the Directors have not made a decision to elect to be taxed as a single entity. In accordance
with Australian Accounting Interpretations, “Substantive Enactment of Major Tax Bills in Australia”, the financial
effect of the legislation has therefore not been brought to account in the financial statements for the year ended 30
June 2020, except to the extent that the adoption of the tax consolidation would impair the carrying value of any
deferred tax assets.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the
same taxation authority.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred
is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost
of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
Receivables and payables on the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing
and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation
authority.
Property, plant and equipment
Items of plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see accounting
policy “impairment testing”).
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment acquired is initially recorded at their cost of acquisition at the date of acquisition, being the fair
value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
All assets have limited useful lives and are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
Depreciation and amortisation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. When changes are
made, adjustments are reflected prospectively in current and future periods only. The estimated useful lives used in
the calculation of depreciation for plant and equipment for the current and corresponding period are between three
and ten years.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and
losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Mineral interest acquisition, exploration and development expenditure
Mineral interest acquisition, exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each
identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that the Group’s rights of tenure to that
area of interest are current and either the costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development and
commercial exploitation of the area of interest or where exploration activities in the area of interest have not yet
reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active
and significant operations, in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the
decision to abandon the area is made.
Page 44
Amani Gold Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical
feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the
recoverable amount (see impairment accounting policy).
Impairment testing
The carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting
date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Where such an indication exists, a formal assessment
of recoverable amount is then made and where this is in excess of carrying amount, the asset is written down to its
recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is the present value of
the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset or cash generating unit. In estimating value in use, a pre-
tax discount rate is used which reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the asset. Any resulting impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income.
Impairment losses are reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there
has been a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to
the extent that the assets’ carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined,
net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the
consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
Employee benefits
Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12
months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting
date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Contributions are made by the consolidated entity to superannuation funds as stipulated by statutory requirements
and are charged as expenses when incurred.
Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present
value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date
using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience
of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the
reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible,
the estimated future cash outflows.
Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options
are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Page 45

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Convertible Notes
Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible notes that can be converted to ordinary
shares at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed. The liability componnent of a
compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an
equity conversion option. The equity component is recognised initially at the difference between the fair value of the
compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability componnent. Any directly attributable
transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity componnents in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity componnent of a compound financial instrument is not
remeasured subsequent to initial recognition. Interest related to the financial liability is recognised in the statement
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. On conversion the financial liability is reclassified to equity and
no gain or loss is recognised.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net result attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs
of servicing equity (other than dividends), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus
element.
Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing the net result attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs
of servicing equity (other than dividends) and any expenses associated with dividends and interest of dilutive potential
ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares (both issued and potentially dilutive) adjusted
for any bonus element.
Share based payments
The Group provides compensation benefits to employees (including directors) of the Group in the form of share-
based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-
settled transactions’).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at
which they are granted. The fair value is determined by a Black Scholes model or similar such market based valuation
models.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period
in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully
entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects
(i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors
of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at reporting date.
No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions
is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon
a market condition.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had
not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result
of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.
Page 46
Amani Gold Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense
not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled
award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated
as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of
earnings per share.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker. The chief decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting
policies. The areas that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain
assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or
may have, on the company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and
services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the company operates. Other than
as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial
statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the company
unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
(a) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
In accordance with accounting policy note described above under “Mineral interest acquisition, exploration and
development expenditure” the Board determines when an area of interest should be abandoned. When a decision is
made that an area of interest is not commercially viable, all costs that have been capitalised in respect of that area of
interest are written off. In determining this, assumptions, including the maintenance of title, ongoing expenditure and
prospectivity are made.
As described in Note 19, under existing contractual terms of a shareholder agreement a feasibility study was required
to be completed by 31st December 2018 at the Giro Gold Project. Based on the amendment to the shareholder
agreement, concluded in December 2017, with Societe Miniere De Kilo Moto SA (“Sokimo”), a company wholly
owned by the DRC Government (the original holder of the Giro exploitation permits), an agreement was reached
between the parties that the deadline for completion of the feasibility study would be extended up to 31st December
2018. A draft feasibilty study is with JV partner SOKIMO and Ministry of Mines for review and a further extension
to complete the feasibility study by end 2020 has been agreed with SOKIMO.
Amani has requested a quote from Beijing General Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (BGRIMM) to update the
Giro Feasibility Study by end 2020 given that the Giro global resource estimates have substantially increased since
the initial Feasibility Study which was based on Kebigada resource estimate of 75Mt @ 1.18g/t Au, for 2.9Moz gold
(0.6g/t Au cut-off grade, see ASX Announcement 27 August 2017). New combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral
Resource Estimate for Kebigada and Douze Match deposits is 132Mt @ 1.04g/t Au, for 4.4Moz contained gold
(0.5g/t Au cut-off grade, see ASX Announcement 19 March 2020).

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
At the date of this report, feasibility study discussion have not formally concluded with Sokimo and no decision to
mine has been made.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying
amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the
exploration and evaluation asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Significant
judgment is involved in determining the recoverable amount for an exploration and evaluation, refer to note 11 for
details.
(b) Share Based Payments to employees
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value
of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options with non-market conditions
is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and
conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The fair value of performance rights with market conditions is
determined by an internal valuation using a Trinomial Barrier option pricing model.
(c) Control Over Subsidiaries
In determining whether the consolidated group has control over subsidiaries that are not wholly owned, judgement
is applied to assess the ability of the consolidated group to control the day to day activities of the partly owned
subsidiary and its economic outcomes. In exercising this judgement, the commercial and legal relationships that the
consolidated group has with other owners of partly owned subsidiaries are taken into consideration. Whilst the
consolidated group is not able to control all activities of a partly owned subsidiary, the partly owned subsidiary is
consolidated within the consolidated group where it is determined that the consolidated group controls the day to day
activities and economic outcomes of a partly owned subsidiary. Changes in agreements with other owners of partly
owned subsidiaries could result in a loss of control and subsequently de-consolidation.
During the year ended 30 June 2015, Amani Gold Limited acquired 85% of the issued shares of Amani Consulting
sarl (Amani Consulting) by the issue of shares, options and cash. Amani Consulting holds a 65% shareholding in
Giro Goldfields sarl (Giro). Giro explores the Giro gold project in the Haut-Uele Province, northeast DRC. Under
the terms of shareholders agreements the Company is at this stage solely responsible for funding exploration activities
and therefore has control over the day to day activities and economic outcomes of Amani Consulting and Giro. Future
changes to the shareholders agreements may impact on the ability of the Company to control Amani Consulting and
Giro.
(d) Contingent liabilities
Under the terms of the agreement to acquire an interest in Amani Consulting sarl (Amani Consulting) the Company
may be liable in the future to make additional payments subject to certain events occurring as described in Note 19.
After an assessment of the conditions that would require these payments to be made in the future, the Company has
judged that these possible future payments are a contingent liability.
Change in circumstances or the future occurrence of specified events may cause liabilities that are currently assessed
as being contingent to be reclassified as financial liabilities.

(e) Tax in foreign jurisdictions
The consolidated entity operates in overseas jurisdictions and accordingly is required to comply with the taxation
requirements of those relevant countries. This results in the consolidated entity making estimates in relation to taxes
including but not limited to income tax, goods and services tax, withholding tax and employee income tax. The
consolidated entity estimates its tax liabilities based on the consolidated entity’s understanding of the tax law. Where
the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will
impact profit or loss in the period in which they are settled.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Directors have determined that the Group has two reportable segments, being mineral exploration and
gold trading in Africa. As the Group is focused on mineral exploration and gold trading. The Board monitors
the Group based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred by area of interest for
exploration activities. The Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted gold sales incurred by
area of interest (Tanzania).
This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the
Group and its ongoing exploration activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration
work that has been performed to date.

The expenditure above relates principally to the exploration and evaluation phase. The ultimate recoupment of this
expenditure is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the
respective areas of interest.
(a) During the year, Amani Group has issued 699,047,035 shares to Shining Mining Limited at an issue price of $0.003
per Share to raise up to $2,097,141. The raised amount was applied to set off an outstanding amount due the
Company’s joint venture partner Société Minière de Kilo-Moto SA (SOKIMO).
On the formation of the Giro Gold Project Joint Venture in 2012 and as part of the agreed terms of the agreement
with SOKIMO, the Company was required to make a USD 5.0 million payment. The Company has an outstanding
amount of USD 2.35 million recorded as a contingent liability in the audited 2019/20 half-year accounts given a final
feasibility study and decision to mine has yet to be made.
The sole director of Shining Mining provided a personal loan to SOKIMO of approximately USD 1.45 million in
2018 under an arrangement that has no association with the Company and its activities in the DRC. The director of
Shining Mining made a confidential approach to the Company in July 2019 to propose an arrangement whereby the
amount he lent to SOKIMO is settled by the issue of the Company’s shares to Shining Mining at an issue price of
$0.003 per share and that the amount of $2,097,141 would be offset against the above mentioned contingent liability.
The shares were issued to Shining Mining on 20 April 2020 and the amount of $2,097,141 was to settle a liability to
Simon Cong, the sole shareholder of Shining Mining. It has been recognized as exploration and evaluation
expenditure during the financial year as this relates to the tenement for the appropriate Giro project.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
Amani Group has also recognized the settlement US$850,000 outstanding goodwill to SOKIMO in cash during the
financial year.
(b) During the year, Amani Group conducted diamond core drilling operations (drillholes GRDD034 and GRDD035) at
Kebigada Gold deposit, Giro GoldProject. Drilling targeted deeper high-grade sulphide associated gold
mineralisation within the central core of Kebigada deposit. Drillholes GRDD034 and GRDD035 both successfully
targeted deeper high-grade sulphide associated gold mineralisation within the central core of Kebigada deposit and
these assays are the deepest yet at Kebigada. Reverse circulation drilling was also completed at Peteku prospect, Giro
Gold Project targeted near surface gold mineralisation below a regional gold in soil anomaly. These activities, at a
cost of approximately 625,092 (direct drilling charges and assay costs) during the reporting period, are included in
the above expenditure incurred during the period.
The recoupment of costs carried forward in relation to areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phases are
dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas.
Impairment
For the current year there were no impairment indicators noted and nil impairment recognised.
For the year ended 30th June 2019, the consolidated entity assessed its capitalised exploration and evaluation
expenditure assets for impairment and recorded an impairment loss of $30,946,760 in relation to the DRC
project. The recoverable amount was based on the number of fully paid ordinary shares outstanding at balance
date as applied to the value per share paid by third party investors under the placement, adjusted for estimated
costs of disposal.

(e) Terms and conditions of contributed equity
Ordinary Shares:
Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of winding up of the Company, to participate in
the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of and amounts paid up on shares held. Ordinary
shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the Company.
14. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS EXPENSE
Employee Option Plan
In August 2007, the Company adopted the Amani Gold Limited Employee Option Plan (“Plan”). The Plan allows Directors from
time to time to invite eligible employees to participate in the Plan and offer options to those eligible persons. The Plan is designed
to provide incentives, assist in the recruitment, reward, retention of employees and provide opportunities for employees (both
present and future) to participate directly in the equity of the Company. The contractual life of each option granted is three years
or as otherwise determined by the Directors. There are no cash settlement alternatives. During the current and prior year no
options were issued to employees of the Company (refer to Note 13(c)).
Non Plan based payments
The Company also makes share based payments to consultants and / or service providers from time to time, not under any specific
plan. The Amani Gold Limited Employee Option Plan does not allow for issue of options to the directors of the parent entity.
Hence, specific shareholder approval is obtained for any share based payments to directors of the parent entity. 36 million options
(2019: 120 million) were issued during the year under an engagement letter with a corporate advisor for services related to raising
of new capital.
The expense recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in relation to share-based payments
is disclosed in Note 3.

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
- credit risk
- liquidity risk
- market risk
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for
measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The
Board monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through regular reviews of the risks.
(a) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities.
(i)
Investments
The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have an
acceptable credit rating.
(ii) Receivables
As the Group operates in the mineral exploration sector rather than trading, it does not have receivables.
Presently, the Group undertakes exploration and evaluation activities in the DRC. At the reporting date there were no significant
concentrations of credit risk.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group does not have any
material risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors. A very large proportion of the bank deposits are held in Australia
with leading banks and a minor percentage of the Group’s bank deposits is held in well established DRC banks.
(b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach
to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due,
under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT – continued
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities and the present lack of operating revenue, the Group has to raise additional capital
from time to time in order to fund its exploration activities. The decision on how and when the Group will raise future capital
will depend on market conditions existing at that time and the level of forecast activity and expenditure.
Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of at least
three to six months, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances
that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.
The following table details the Group’s expected maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. These have been drawn up
based on undiscounted contractual maturities of the financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be
required to pay.

(c) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect
the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to mitigate
market risk exposures such as predicting the amount of foreign currencies on a quarterly basis and monitoring closely exchange
rates fluctuations.
The company’s assets include 4.65 million shares in Blox Inc. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the share price of
Blox Inc. The investment will be recorded at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in value recognised directly in other
comprehensive income. As at 30 June 2019 and 2020, the investment has been impaired to nil.
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk on investments, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency
other than the respective functional currency of Group entities, primarily the Australian dollar (AUD). The currencies in which
these transactions are primarily denominated are AUD and USD.
The Group has not entered into any derivative financial instruments to hedge such transactions and anticipated future receipts or
payments that are denominated in a foreign currency.

Sensitivity analysis
A 10 percent strengthening (based on forward exchange rates) of the Australian dollar against the above currencies at 30 June
would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other

Interest Risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rate relates primarily to the Group’s cash and cash equivalents.
At 30 June 2020 the weighted average interest rate on cash and cash equivalents was $Nil (2019: $Nil).
Sensitivity analysis
An increase of 50 basis points in interest rates would not have had a material impact on the Consolidated Entity’s profit or loss.

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT – continued
(d)
Net fair values
For assets and other liabilities, the net fair value approximates their carrying value. No financial assets and financial liabilities
are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.
The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the statement of
financial position and in the notes to and forming part of the financial statements.
(e)
Capital risk management
Management controls the capital of the Group in order to ensure that the Group can fund its operations on an efficient and timely
basis and continue as a going concern.
There are no externally imposed capital requirements.
Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s cash projections up to twelve months in the future
and any associated financial risks. Management will adjust the Group’s capital structure in response to changes in these risks
and in the market.
There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year.
17. FUNDS RECEIVED IN ADVANCE
The Company has completed a bookbuild for a two tranche placement to sophisticated and professional investors to raise up to
$2.55 million (“Placement”) to fund ongoing exploration activities at the Giro and Gada gold projects in the DRC and meet
ongoing working capital requirements.
Under the fundraising, the Company has agreed to issue up to 2,550 million fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of 0.1
cents per share (Placement Shares), raising up to $2.55 million (before costs).
A total of $985,884 was received from investors as at 30 June 2020 and was recognized as funds received in advance.
Tranche 1 of the Placement, which comprises 1,003,700,000 Shares, was issued under the Company’s existing placement
capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, was completed on 2 July 2020.
Tranche 2 of the Placement is subject to shareholder approval in the upcoming general meeting on 15 October 2020.
18. CONVERTIBLE NOTES
During the year the Company issued unsecured convertible notes with a face value of $2,100,000 as part of a capital raising
exercise.
Terms of the convertible note are as follows:
i.
ii.
iii.
Maturity date – 24 months from the date of advance;
Interest payable – 2.5% per annum, commencing 4 months from the date of issue;
Repayment: The Company could elect to repay all or part of the outstanding convertible notes at any time prior to
the maturity date. In addition, the Subscriber could elect to convert any of the convertible notes into new shares at
$0.003 per share.
The issue of shares upon conversion of the notes was approved at a meeting of shareholders convened on 25 March 2020.
During the reporting period the subscriber has not elect to convert any convertible notes to shares.
The convertible notes are classified as liability as NeoGold has the sole discretion to convert and if NeoGold does not elect to
convert, the Company has the obligation to repay the principal.

19. CONTINGENCIES
If 3moz (measured and indicated category) gold resources at a cut-off grade of 2.5g/t Au are estimated at the Giro Project, Amani
will be required to pay US$5,350,000 to the former shareholders of Amani Consulting sarl (“Amani Consulting”) from whom
Amani acquired its 85% interest in the capital of Amani Consulting. At Amani’s election, 50% of this amount can be settled by
an issue of Amani shares at the then market value of Amani shares. In any case, the liability for this amount of US$5.35M only
falls due for payment upon drawdown of development funds. At the date of this report, the condition has not been met.
Under existing contractual terms of a shareholder agreement a feasibility study was required to be completed by 31st December
2018 at the Giro Gold Project. Based on the amendment to the shareholder agreement, concluded in December 2017, with Societe
Miniere De Kilo Moto SA (“Sokimo”), a company wholly owned by the DRC Government (the original holder of the Giro
exploitation permits), an agreement was reached between the parties that the deadline for completion of the feasibility study
would be extended up to 31st December 2018. A draft feasibilty study is with JV partner SOKIMO and Ministry of Mines for
review and a further extension to complete the feasibility study by end 2020 has been agreed with SOKIMO.
Amani has requested a quote from Beijing General Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (BGRIMM) to update the Giro Feasibility
Study by end 2020 given that the Giro global resource estimates have substantially increased since the initial Feasibility Study
which was based on Kebigada resource estimate of 75Mt @ 1.18g/t Au, for 2.9Moz gold (0.6g/t Au cut-off grade, see ASX
Announcement 27 August 2017). New combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for Kebigada and Douze
Match deposits is 132Mt @ 1.04g/t Au, for 4.4Moz contained gold (0.5g/t Au cut-off grade, see ASX Announcement 19 March
2020).
At the date of this report, feasibility study discussion have not formally concluded with Sokimo and no decision to mine has
been made.
On conclusion of feasibility studies and a decision to mine at the Giro Project, payments of US$ 897,605.75 will be required to
be made by Amani to Societe Miniere De Kilo Moto SA (Sokimo).
In view of the nature of the trigger events and the early stage of exploration activity at the Giro Gold Project, these liabilities are
contingent in nature and no values were allocated as liabilities in this financial report (2019: Nil).
On 14 October 2019 Amani Gold provided an update in relation to the Gada Gold Project. The update provided background to
the acquisition of the Gada Gold Project and that it had been made aware that BN Mining had commenced proceedings against
SOKIMO for the wrongful termination of an Option Agreement over the Gada Gold Project. Amani Gold also advised that it
understood that BN Mining had, or intended to, commence proceedings against the Company. Amani Gold has now confirmed
that proceedings have also been commenced against the Company for purportedly causing SOKIMO to terminate the Option
Agreement and has sought damages amounting to USD$100m as a result of the termination of the Option Agreement. The court
case with Amani Gold and BN Mining is continuing. On 29 January 2020 the Kinshasa Court gave a decision stating that
SOKIMO had not wrongfully terminated their Option Agreement with BN Mining. The next court hearing for Amani Gold and
BN Mining was expected on 25th March 2020 but court proceedings in the DRC have been continually delayed in 2020 due to
Covid-19 issues.
In view of the nature of the trigger events relating to the Giro Gold Project and unlikeliness of a successful claim by BN Mining
on Gada Gold Project legal proceedings, these liabilities are contingent in nature and no values were allocated as liabilities in
this financial report (30 June 2019: Nil).

other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic
stimulus that may be provided.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly
affect the entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of Amani Gold Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Amani Gold Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
(i)
Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii)
Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code)
that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which
give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s
ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this
matter.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty
related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report.
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

How the matter was addressed in our audit
At 30 June 2020 the Group held a significant

remained current at balance date;
the Group, we considered it necessary to assess
whether any facts or circumstances exist to suggest
that the carrying amount of this asset may exceed
its recoverable amount.
·
Considering the status of the ongoing exploration
programmes in the respective areas of interest
by holding discussions with management, and
reviewing the Group’s exploration budgets, ASX
In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and
announcements and director’s minutes;
Evaluation of Mineral Resources (AASB 6), the
recoverability of exploration and evaluation
expenditure requires significant judgment by
management in determining whether there are any
facts or circumstances that exist to suggest that
the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its
recoverable amount.
As a result, this is considered a key audit matter.
·
Considering whether any such areas of interest
had reached a stage where a reasonable
assessment of economically recoverable reserves
existed;
·
Verifying, on a sample basis, evaluation
expenditure capitalised during the year for
compliance with the recognition and
measurement criteria of AASB 6;
·
Considering whether any facts or circumstances
existed to suggest impairment testing was
required; and
·
Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures
in Note 1, Note 1(a) and Note 11 to the financial
report.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:

Annual Report 2020
Additional Shareholder Information
Notes:
1.
In September 2014 Amani Gold completed the acquisition of 85% of the share capital in Amani Consulting sarl (“Amani
Consulting”), which entity owns 65% of the capital in Giro Goldfields sarl (“Giro sarl”), a DRC registered company and the
registered holder of the two exploitation permits comprising the Giro Project. Amani Gold is responsible for sole funding
exploration on the Giro Project. Societe Miniere De Kilo Moto SA (“Sokimo”), a limited liability company wholly owned
by the DRC Government holds the other 35% interest in Giro sarl.
Under existing contractual terms with Sokimo a feasibility study was required to be completed by 31st December 2018 at
the Giro Gold Project. Based on the amendment to the shareholder agreement, concluded in December 2017, with Sokimo,
an agreement was reached between the parties that the deadline for completion of the feasibility study would be extended
up to 31st December 2018, a further 12-month extension could be requested if Amani shows that the work to complete the
feasibility study is progressing positively.
Amani has requested a quote from Beijing General Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (BGRIMM) to update the Giro
Feasibility Study by end 2020 given that the Giro global resource estimates have substantially increased since the initial
Feasibility Study which was based on Kebigada resource estimate of 75Mt @ 1.18g/t Au, for 2.9Moz gold (0.6g/t Au cut-
off grade, see ASX Announcement 27 August 2017). New combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for
Kebigada and Douze Match deposits is 132Mt @ 1.04g/t Au, for 4.4Moz contained gold (0.5g/t Au cut-off grade, see ASX
Announcement 19 March 2020).
At the date of this report, feasibility study discussion have not formally concluded with Sokimo and no decision to mine has
been made. The company is also under negotiation with Sokimo to extend the date for submission of the final feasibility
study.
