The Paterson Province of Western Australia hosts several world-class gold, copper, silver, uranium,
and tungsten deposits, including:
• Newcrest’s Telfer Au-Cu-Ag mine, one of Australia’s largest gold producers;
• Metals X’s Nifty Cu (with Co) mine;
• Newcrest’s O’Callaghans deposit, one of the world’s largest tungsten deposits;
• Rio Tinto’s Winu Cu-Au-Ag development project;
• Greatland Gold plc (Greatland) and Newcrest Farm-in and Joint Venture’s Havieron Au-Cu
(with Co and Ag) deposit; and
• Cameco’s Kintyre uranium deposit.
The Company’s Projects are interpreted to host equivalent Proterozoic geological formations to that
which hosts the Telfer, Winu and Havieron Au-Cu-Ag deposits, the Nifty Cu deposit and O’Callaghans
tungsten and base metal deposit. Regionally, past exploration has interpreted geological structures
and granite intrusions considered to be essential ingredients of the genetic models for the Telfer, Nifty
and O’Callaghans deposits.
Running through the Paterson Province is the El Paso Corridor, which is bound by major structures to
the west and east and hosts multiple, relatively small, subcircular reduced felsic intrusions which are
considered key to the formation of the Paterson’s Au-Cu-Ag deposits. This corridor is potentially akin
to a porphyry Cu-Au belt scenario.
The Company’s exploration strategy is to strive to deliver both greenfields discoveries and increase
brownfield Au-Cu Mineral Resources.
All 2020 exploration programmes have taken, or are being designed to take, account of the impact of
the COVID-19 virus and also to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all stakeholders including local
indigenous groups, employees and contractors and also to comply with government restrictions aimed
at stopping the spread of the virus.

Directors’ Report
30 June 2020
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)
ANNUAL REPORT
A.
PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION
The Company’s objective is to ensure that pay and rewards are competitive and appropriate for
the results delivered. A Nominations and Remuneration Committee has been established which
makes recommendations to the Board which aims to align rewards with achievement of
strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. The remuneration framework
applied provides a mix of fixed and variable remuneration and a blend of base pay and long-
term incentives as appropriate.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee considers remuneration of Directors and the
Executive and makes recommendations to the Board. Issues of remuneration are considered
annually or otherwise as required.
Non-executive directors
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-executive Directors is subject
to approval by shareholders at General Meetings and is currently set at $400,000. The
Company’s policy is to remunerate Non-executive Directors at market rates (for comparable
companies) for time, commitment and responsibilities. Fees for Non-executive Directors are
not linked to the performance of the Company, however, to align Directors’ interests with
shareholders’ interests, Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and subject to
shareholder approval Non-executive Directors may receive options.
In addition to Directors’ fees, Non-executive Directors are entitled to additional remuneration
as compensation for work outside the scope of Non-executive Directors duties (whether
performed in a consulting or part-time employee capacity). Non-executive Directors’ fees and
payments are reviewed annually by the Board.
No retirement benefits or allowances are paid or payable to Non-executive Directors of the
Company other than superannuation benefits.
Executives
Executives are offered a competitive level of base pay which comprises the fixed (non-risk)
component of their pay and rewards. Base pay for senior executives is reviewed annually to
ensure market competitiveness. There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in any
senior executives’ contracts.
Executives may be paid a cash bonus at the discretion of the Board based on a recommendation
received from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
For the year ended 30 June 2020 no cash bonuses were paid (2019: nil).

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of Antipa Minerals Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Antipa Minerals 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 (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 2 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.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275,
an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and
form part of the international BDO network of independent a firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
33
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.
Recoverability of deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure
Key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
As disclosed in Note 10 to the financial report,
the carrying value of capitalised exploration and
evaluation expenditure represents a significant
asset of the Group.
Refer to Note 4 and Note 10 of the Financial
Report for a description of the accounting policy
and significant judgements applied to capitalised
exploration and evaluation expenditure.
In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and
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.
Our procedures included, but were not limited
to:
· Obtaining a schedule of the areas of
interest held by the Group and assessing
whether the rights to tenure of those
areas of interest remained current at
balance date;
·
·
·
·
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 announcements and
directors’ minutes;
Considering whether any such areas of
interest had reached a stage where a
reasonable assessment of economically
recoverable reserves existed;
Considering whether any facts or
circumstances existed to suggest
impairment testing was required; and
Assessing the adequacy of the related
disclosures in Note 4 and Note 10 to the
Financial Report.
34
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:
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Report on the Remuneration Report

complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with

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 disclosed in
Note 21.
The ability of the group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Group being able to
raise additional funds as required to meet ongoing and budgeted exploration commitments and
for working capital. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant
doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable
to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Directors
believe that they will be able to raise additional capital as required and are in the process of
evaluating the Group’s cash requirements. The Directors believe that the Group will continue as
a going concern. As a result, the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.
However, should the Group be unsuccessful in undertaking additional raisings, the Group may
not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the
recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not
continue as a going concern.
Should the going concern basis not be appropriate, the entity may have to realise its assets and
extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different
from those stated in the financial report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made
in the financial report.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
ANNUAL REPORT
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all joint
operations of Antipa Minerals Limited (the Company or the Parent Entity) as at 30 June 2020
and the results of all joint operations for the year then ended. Antipa Minerals Limited and its
joint operations together are referred to in this financial report as the “group” or the
“consolidated entity”.
The Company has a non-controlling interest in the Citadel Project Joint Venture (CPJV).
However, the Company only has rights to CPJV’s assets and obligations for CPJV’s liabilities in
proportion to its participating interest in the arrangement. Based on the AASB framework, an
asset is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset
will flow to the entity and when the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Given that the
Company only has a proportionate ownership interest in CPJV’s assets, therefore only a
proportion of the benefits of the assets will flow to the Company. On this basis whilst AASB 10
applies, the Company has recognised only its share in the assets of the CPJV. Similarly, to for
liabilities, as the Company are only obligated for a proportion of the liabilities within CPJV, the
Company has recognised only its share of the obligations in the financial statements.
Interests in joint operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the
arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the
arrangement.
Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only
when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing
control.
When the Company undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Company as a joint
operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation:
•
•
•
•
•
Its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
Its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
Its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
Its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
Its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly
The Company accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest
in a joint operation in accordance with the AASB’s applicable to the particular assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses.
When the company entity transacts with a joint operation in which the company is a joint
operator (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the Company is considered to be conducting
the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from
the transactions are recognised in the Company’s financial statements only to the extent of
other parties' interests in the joint operation.

NOTE 3: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
ANNUAL REPORT
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk,
interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk
management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to
minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses
different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed.
During the year, the Company maintained a Risk and Sustainability Committee whose role
included the identification and evolution of financial and other risks in conjunction with
executives. The Board provides the overall risk management framework which balances the
potential adverse effects of financial risks on Antipa’s financial performance and position with
the “upside” potential made possible by exposure to these risks and by taking into account the
costs and expected benefits of the various methods available to manage them.
The Group holds the following financial instruments:
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Restricted cash
Trade and other receivables
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables

As at and during the year ended on reporting date the Group had no significant interest-bearing
assets or liabilities other than liquid funds on deposit. As such, the Group’s income and
operating cash flows (other than interest income from funds on deposit) are substantially
independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and

ANNUAL REPORT
NOTE 3: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
The Group’s policy is to maximise the return on cash held through the use of term deposits
where possible.
The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk as at
reporting date. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and
equity was not material.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions,
as well as credit exposures to customers. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting
date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised in part (a) of this note.
As at 30 June 2020, all cash and cash equivalents were held with National Australia Bank, which
has a AA- credit rating.
c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management involves the maintenance of sufficient cash and access to
capital markets. It is the policy of the Board to ensure that the Group is able to meet its financial
obligations and continuing to meet its objectives by ensuring the Group has sufficient working
capital and preserving the placement capacities available to the Company under the ASX Listing
Rules. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash
flows.
Contractual maturities of financial liabilities
As at the reporting date the Group had total financial liabilities of $867,365 (2019: $992,314)
comprised of non-interest-bearing trade creditors and accruals with a maturity of less than 6
months.
d) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and
measurement and/or disclosure purposes.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to
approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities
for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the
current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
e) Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while
maximising the potential return to shareholders.

NOTE 4: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
ANNUAL REPORT
In preparing this financial report the Group has been required to make certain estimates and
assumptions concerning future occurrences. There is an inherent risk that the resulting
accounting estimates will not equate exactly with actual events and results.
a) Significant accounting judgements
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following
judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on
the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Deferred tax assets
The Group has carried forward tax losses which have not been recognised as deferred tax assets
as it is not considered sufficiently probable that these losses will be recouped by means of future
profits taxable in the appropriate jurisdictions.
Capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure
The Group has capitalised significant exploration and evaluation expenditure on the basis either
that this is expected to be recouped through future successful development (or alternatively
sale) of the Areas of Interest concerned or on the basis that it is not yet possible to assess
whether it will be recouped.
b) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates
and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that 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:
Impairment of assets
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on
a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or,
if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through
sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of Ore Reserves and Mineral
Resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates,
future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes
to commodity prices.
As at 30 June 2020, the carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation is $27,544,063
(2019: $24,139,502).

ANNUAL REPORT
NOTE 4: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had,
or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration
extends to the nature of the services offered, farm-in partners, supply chain, staffing and
geographic regions in which the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a
result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Share based payments
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair
value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is
determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms
and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and
assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact
profit or loss and equity.
Incremental borrowing rate.
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental
borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present
value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on
what the entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds
necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar
terms, security and economic environment.
NOTE 5: SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management has determined that the Group has one reportable segment, being mineral
exploration. As the Group is focused on mineral exploration, the Board monitors the Group
based on actual versus budgeted revenues and expenditure incurred by area of interest. This
internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions
regarding the Company and its ongoing exploration activities, while also taking into
consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The Group
recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that
future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of
the Group’s activities as described below:
Government grants
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period
necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. This is Cash
Boost income received due to COVID-19 during the year
Interest
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the
rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the
financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset).

NOTE 8: INCOME TAX (continued)
ANNUAL REPORT
Antipa Minerals Limited and its controlled entities in the tax consolidated group have not been
brought to account because the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation
of future tax benefits as probable.
Antipa Minerals Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented
the tax consolidation legislation.
The head entity, Antipa Minerals Limited, and its controlled entities in the tax consolidated
group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The entities have also entered
into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Antipa
Minerals Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Antipa Minerals
Ltd for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused
tax credits that are transferred to Antipa Minerals Limited under the tax consolidation
legislation.
Accounting policy
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s
taxable income based on the applicable tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and
liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that
at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred
income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially
enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax
asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses
only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary
differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset
current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation
authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally
enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income, except when it relates to items credited or debited
directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where
it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into
account in the determination of goodwill or excess.

NOTE 10: DEFERRED EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE (continued)
Accounting policy
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is stated at cost and is accumulated in respect of each
identifiable area of interest.
Such costs are only carried forward in respect of areas of interest for which the rights of tenure
are current and where:
(i) such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and
exploitation of the area of interest or, alternatively, by its sale; or
(ii) activities in the area have not at the statement of financial position date reached a
stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of
economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in
relation to the area of interest are continuing.
All other costs which do not meet these criteria are written off immediately to the statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of
continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Where carried forward
expenditure does not satisfy the policy stated above it is written off to the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the decision is made to write-
off. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off to the statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the decision to abandon
the area is made.
Rehabilitation, Restoration and Environmental Costs
Long-term environmental obligations are based on the Group’s environmental management
plans, in compliance with current environmental and regulatory requirements. There are
currently no material rehabilitation obligations.

The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach under which the
reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are recognised in the opening
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on 1 July 2019. There is no initial impact on retained
earnings under this approach. The Group has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period.
From 1 July 2019, where the Company is a lessee, the Group recognised a right-of-use asset and a
corresponding liability at the date which the lease asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease
payment is allocated between the liability and the finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit
or loss over the lease period to produce a consistent period rate of interest on the remaining balance
of the liability for each period.

the expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of
service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the

In February 2020 Antipa signed the Wilki Project Farm-in agreement with Newcrest
Operations Ltd (Newcrest) to agree that Antipa will assume the operatorship of the
exploration of the Wilki project. In accordance with the agreement Antipa will be the
operator for the Wilki Project for the $6 million expenditure period. Under the Wilki Project
Farm-in Agreement Newcrest is sole funding exploration on the Citadel Project to earn an
interest.
Accounting policy
Cash received from pertaining to farm-In agreements is received in advance. Upon receipt
of the funds a liability is recognised for unexpended exploration contributions. As
expenditure is incurred, the liability is decreased. The cash received in advance by Newcrest
is held by the Company in the capacity as operator and is classified as restricted cash.

In March 2019 Antipa signed Citadel Operator Letter agreement with Rio Tinto Exploration
Pty Ltd (Rio) and in conjunction with the Citadel Project Farm-in Agreement signed in
October 2015 to agree that Antipa will assume the operatorship of the exploration of the
Citadel project. During the year, an unincorporated joint venture has been established
whereby under the terms of the joint venture, Rio Tinto will assume operatorship of the
exploration of the Citadel project. Under the arrangement, Rio is sole funding exploration
on the Citadel Project to earn a further interest.
Accounting policy
Cash received from pertaining to farm-In agreements is received in advance. Upon receipt
of the funds a liability is recognised for unexpended exploration contributions. As
expenditure is incurred, the liability is decreased. The cash received in advance by Rio is
held by the Company in the capacity as operator and is classified as restricted cash.
Following the formation of the unincorporated joint venture, the arrangement will be
accounted for as a joint operation in accordance with accounting policies outlined in Note
2.

Accounting policy
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the
Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus
elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per
share to take into account the after tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated
with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary
shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential
ordinary shares.

transfer of all the issued capital of MK Minerals Pty Ltd, a company that held certain exploration
licence applications over ground in the Paterson province of Western Australia
Accounting policy
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of
Antipa Minerals Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all
subsidiaries for the year then ended. Antipa Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries together are
referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated entity.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The
consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity 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. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated
from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the
date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the
Group. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between
Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction
provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries
have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the
Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes
in equity and statement of financial position, respectively.

NOTE 26: OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICES
ANNUAL REPORT
a) 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 number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period for
which the Group has adopted:
• AASB 16 Leases
The new accounting policies are disclosed below. The impact of the adoption of these standards
and the new accounting policies are disclosed below.
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 Leases became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group had to change
its accounting policies and make adjustments as a result of adopting this standard.
AASB 16 Leases supersedes AASB 117 Leases. The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019
which has resulted in changes classification, measurement and recognition of leases. The
changes result in almost all leases where the Company is the lessee being recognised on the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and removes the former distinction between
operating and finance lease. The new standard requires recognition of a right-of-use asset (the
leased item) and a financial liability (to pay rentals). The exceptions are short-term, and low
value leases.
The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach under which the
reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are recognised in the
opening Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on 1 July 2019. There is no initial impact
on retained earnings under this approach. The Group has not restated comparatives for the
2019 reporting period.
From 1 July 2019, where the Company is a lessee, the Group recognised a right-of-use asset and
a corresponding liability at the date which the lease asset is available for use by the Group. Each
lease payment is allocated between the liability and the finance cost. The finance cost is charged
to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a consistent period rate of interest on
the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
The lease payments are discounted using an interest rate implicit in the lease, If that rate cannot
be determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate the lessee
would have to pay to borrow funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar
economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
69
Notes To The Consolidated
Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2020
NOTE 26: OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICES (continued)
ANNUAL REPORT
A 5-year extension option are included in lease. In determining the lease term, management
considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension
option. Extension options are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain
to be extended.
On initial application right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease
liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2020.
There were no onerous lease contracts that required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets
of initial application.
On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had
previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of AASB 117. These liabilities
were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the
lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee's
incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 10%.
In the statement of cash flows, the Group will recognise cash payments for the principal portion
of the lease liability within financing activities, cash payments for the interest portion of the
lease liability as interest paid within operating activities and short-term lease payments and
payments for lease of low-value assets within operating activities.
If termination options were included in the property lease this would then become an area of
judgement. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances
that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination
option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease
term if the lease Is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
Impact
The change in accounting policy resulted in an increase of a right-of-use asset of $538,332 and
a corresponding lease liability of $590,520 in respect of all these leases, other than short-term
leases and leases of low-value assets. The net impact on retained earnings on 1 July 2019 was
$nil. See Notes 11 and 12.
Practical expedients applied
In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients
permitted by the standard:
• The accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months
as at 1 July 2019 as short-term leases, with no right-of-use asset nor lease liability
recognised; and
• The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options
to extend or terminate the lease.

ANNUAL REPORT
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 periods and have not been early adopted by the Group.
The Group's assessment of the impact of these new standards is that they are not expected to
have a material impact on the Group in the current or future periods.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax
(GST), except:
(i)
(ii)

Office (ATO). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

provisions, are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of
receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST components of
cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which are recoverable from, or payable
to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
c) Share based payment transactions
The fair value of any options issued as remuneration is measured using an appropriate model.
Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the
instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for
changes expected due to publicly available information (if any), weighted average expected life
of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour),
expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).

ASX Recommendation 7.3: A listed entity should disclose if it has an internal audit function and if it

economic, environmental and social sustainability risks and if it does how it manages or intends to
manage those risks.
The Company has exposure to economic risks, including general economy wide economic risks and
risks associated with the economic cycle which impact on the price and demand for minerals which
affects the sentiment for investment in exploration companies.
There will be a requirement in the future for the Company to raise additional funding to pursue its
business objectives. The Company’s ability to raise capital may be affected by these economic risks.
The Company has in place risk management procedures and processes to identify, manage and
minimise its exposure to these economic risks where appropriate.
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and
regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations,
the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced
exploration or mine development proceed. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to
the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
The Board currently considers that the Company does not have any material exposure to social
sustainability risk. The Company’s Corporate Code of Conduct outlines the Company’s commitment to
integrity and fair dealing in its business affairs and to a duty of care to all employees, clients and
stakeholders. The code sets out the principles covering appropriate conduct in a variety of contexts
and outlines the minimum standard of behavior expected from employees when dealing with
stakeholders.
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has been financially
positive for the consolidated 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
