CHAIRMAN’S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

- 2 -

Brightstar Resources Limited

Brightstar Resources  Limited  (Brightstar or  the  Company) has  successfully  completed  the  significant  debt 
cancellation and share cancellation (DECA) after having shareholders’ approval at the AGM on 16 November 
2020. The DECA recapitalisation has provided the Company a fresh start for the development as a junior gold 
exploration and development company.

Brightstar has achieved a number of acquisitions during the year:

On  8  February  2021,  the  Company  has  acquired  a  prospective  exploration  licence  in  Western  Australia, 
E38/3438 from Mining Equities Pty Ltd. This tenement is prospective brownfields ground less than 15km from 
our Brightstar plant and adjacent to a number of our existing prospecting and exploration licences. 

On 6 April 2021,  the  Company has acquired  an exploration licence E38/3279 (Ophir  Bore) which  is located 
immediately  adjacent  to  Brightstar’s  existing  exploration  licences  E38/3331  and  E38/2411  and  consolidates 
Brightstar’s exploration ground less than ten kilometres east of the Granny Smith Mine operated by Goldfields 
Limited.

The Company has been busy finalising its Three-Year Strategic Plan:

On 17 December 2020, the Company commenced a sub-audio magnetics (SAM) survey programme conducted 
by GAP Geophysics on the Company’s Cork Tree Well Project in the Laverton region of Western Australia. The 
SAM  programme  results  released  on  9  June  2021  has  provided  great  insight  into  the  continuation  of  the 
lithological and structural features that host the Cork Tree Well deposits to the south. The SAM survey results 
been utilised to assist the development of the Three-Year Strategic Plan.

On 22 February 2021, the Company has appointed Ian Pegg who is the former Granny Smith Mining Company 
Exploration Superintendent as Brightstar’s exploration manager. Ian’s expertise on the geology of the Laverton 
region can support the Company in finalising our three-year strategy for Brightstar.

On 5 May 2021, the Company has received a report prepared by Como Engineers Pty Ltd that confirms an 
estimated cost of $5.5 million to refurbish the Brightstar Processing Plant at the Company’s flagship Brightstar 
Gold Project, near Laverton in the northern Goldfields.

On 15 September 2021, the Company has appointed Strike Drilling as the drill contractor for Mineral Resource 
development drilling at Brightstar’s Cork Tree Well Project in the Laverton district of Western Australia.

Brightstar has also entered into a Royalty Call Option Deed with Stone Resources (HK) Limited (SRHK) on 27 
September 2021. SRHK is the payee of a 3% net smelter royalty (NSR) over a substantial portion of Brightstar’s 
tenement holdings, which was granted as part of the consideration given to SRHK under the DECA. Under the 
Call Option Deed, SRHK has agreed to grant Brightstar an option to purchase the NSR (Call Option). 

I  wish  to  thank Mr  Hobba  and  Mr  Hunt  for  the difficult  task  of  successfully  negotiating  the  Company’s 
Restructuring, our Employees at the Belmont Office and Laverton site for their excellent efforts.

I believe we will seize the potential of our valuable mining assets to bring abundant rewards to our shareholders.

To all our shareholders, I express my appreciation of your confidence, support and loyalty.

Yours truly,

Yongji Duan 
Chairman
Perth, 1 October 2021.

      Brightstar Resources Limited - 6 -  DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) Review of operations (continued)  Exploration Exploration activities carried out during the year included: • Consolidation work undertaken on all of the Resources in the Group to ensure robustness of the resource base. • Compilation of data for early-stage exploration commenced in a new database MX Deposit.  • Surface geochemistry tested on several leases with varied results.  Desktop Activities Disparate drilling data from historic drilling data systems including Access databases, Micromine databases, Excel spreadsheets, Micromine data files, and text files of many types were collected. These datasets were collated in the building of a new database structure that was completed in parallel to data clean-up/validation. Currently over 19,000 historic drillholes are contained in the database.  Drill hole planning was completed to determine opportunities for extensional targets along the lengths of both Alpha and CTW deposits. These holes will provide an ideal opportunity to update the Resource, convert parts of the current Resource to Reserve and contribute significant information to mining studies early in 2022. Exploration Activities. v Cork Tree Well Reporting Group Sub-Audio Magnetic (SAM) survey undertaken in northern half of M38/346 at Cork Tree Well in December 2020 and the interpretation results were announced in June 2021. This interpretation provided several targets including up to three additional kilometres of strike extent of the interpreted host at CTW proper. 48 samples were collected from the top 10cm of the soil profile on E38/2452. Approximately 1kg of material was sieved to -2mm to remove coarse lag. Sample spacing was at 100m x 200m. Samples were analysed by Minanalytical Perth using an Aqua Regia digest and ICP-MS/ICP-OES finish for a 47 element Suite. ICP-MS and ICP-OES. The nearby Cork Tree Well open cut pit shows a well-developed, +10m, indurated profile (See Figure 1). This is common throughout the Laverton area but is not seen commonly further south. This profile is probably the reason for the poor response from soil sampling away from outcrop/sub crop in the Laverton region.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

Review of operations (continued) 

v  Laverton North 

Trial surface sampling on E38/2233 was completed on 6 December 2020. 14 soil samples and 4 rock chip samples 
were collected and analysed by MinAnalytical in Perth. Samples were analysed for a multi-element suite by Aqua 
Regia Digest with an ICP-MS finish (AR10MS) and an ICP-OES finish (AR10OES). The best gold value was from 
rock chip sample 2233-3 of 808 ppb. And the best soil Au value was 255 ppb from sample 2233-13. Correlations are 
indicated between Au and Fe, V, Zn, Ag, Mo and Sb. This suggests that there may be a significant effect from Fe 
scavenging of some elements. Interestingly, there is no correlation with As or Te which would be expected from an 
orogenic gold source. Ag, Zn, Mo and Sb are more suggestive of VHMS mineralisation. Au results seem to correlate 
with the indications from the historic sampling that Au mineralisation is associated with the intersection of NW 
fractures and a generally NNE trend in the mafic hosts. The high soil sample results provide strong encouragement 
that economic mineralisation may be concealed under cover in this area. Two intersections of fractures with black 
shales/shears have been highlighted as potential targets. 

v  Brightstar Reporting Group (including Alpha and Beta Projects) 

A trial sampling program was undertaken to determine the applicability of soil sampling in this region (E38/2411). 12 
soil samples were collected from 0-10cm depth along two lines at 50m x 100m spacing. The samples were sieved to 
< 2mm and sent to Minanalytical in Perth for analysis. Samples were analysed by AR10_MS - Multi-element by 10g 
Aqua Regia Digest with ICP-MS Finish or AR10_OES - Multi-element by 10g Aqua Regia Digest with ICP-OES 
Finish  Gold values were very low, which may be an actual representation of Au in the soil or may indicate that 
depletion in the surface sample has not given a representative sampling of this area. Surficial (sieved) soil sampling 
does not appear to be effective in this area from the sampling undertaken to date. 

11 rockchip samples were taken from outcrop or mullock on M38/549 where quartz veining was exposed. These 
samples were analysed for 45 elements to determine if any elements or group of elements could be used as 
pathfinders for the mineralisation. Results indicate that the mineralisation is likely to be extending both north and 
south of the main workings with the most northern sample returning 3.9g/t and the most southern sample returning 
2.4g/t. Mineralisation appears to be constrained to quartz veining with little anomalism seen in the mafic host. 

Previous work collated and reviewed during the period however no physical activity undertaken. On E38/3108 
bedrock geology is interpreted as either basalt or granitic gneiss depending on the dataset. If it is granitic gneiss 
there is little prospectivity on the tenement however, if there are mafic/granitic contacts then some prospectivity 
remains to be tested. Testing of sub-surface rock types to be planned for 2022. Previous surface geochemical 
sampling limited to sub-crop section of lease in the western part of the lease with low level anomalism. This may 
indicate ‘leakage’ of gold along a structure but does not appear to be the signal of a deposit.  

Previous surface geochemistry seems to have been effective in the northern part of P38/4444 and P38/4445 
however the southern part of these leases are not well tested by surface geochemistry because of the cover 
thickness. A detailed review of the regolith and digitising of historic drill results is required to determine the next 
appropriate exploration step.  

Cover may have made previous surface geochemistry ineffective on P38/4446 and P38/4447. There is limited 
previous AC and RAB drilling, however no significant intersections on the actual leases. A detailed review of the 
historic data is required to determine an appropriate program for follow up. 

The area around P38/4432 & P38/4433 is mainly sub crop, so should be amenable to auger or AC work that the 
Company intends to investigate further. P38/4433 also has a string of workings on it called the Sailor Prince project 
which produced over 4000 ounces during the period 1897 to 1930. This is significantly bigger than most of the 
workings in the area and worthy of drill testing.

Competent Person’s Statement 

The information in the Report that relates to Mineral Resources of the Alpha, Beta and Cork Tree Well deposit is based on 
information  compiled  by  Mr  Richard  Maddocks  of  Auralia  Mining  Consulting  Pty  Ltd.  Mr  Maddocks  is  a  Fellow  of  the 
Australasian  Institute  of  Mining  and  Metallurgy  (AusIMM)  and  has  sufficient  experience  which  is  relevant  to  the  style  of 
mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity he has undertaken to qualify as a “Competent 
Person” as that term is defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore 
Resources (JORC Code 2012)”.  Mr Maddocks consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based in this information 
in the form and context in which it appears. Mr Maddocks was employed as a contractor of BTR. 

Significant events after balance date 

Drilling over the Company’s Cork Tree Well project commenced from in the 3rd week of September 2021. This is the first 
drilling  campaign  since  BTR  completed  recapitalisation  in  November  2020.  It  is  expected  that  the  results  may  assist  in 
developing a revised Mineral Resource Estimate for the project and used to plan future exploration drilling at Cork Tree Well 
and surrounding areas.  

On 27 September 2021, the Company signed a Call Option Deed with Stone Resources (HK) Limited (SRHKL), under which 
SRHKL agreed to grant BTR or its nominee an option to purchase the 3% net smelter royalty (NSR) which is applicable to 
a substantial portion of BTR’s tenements holdings. This Call Option Deed is expected to be settled seven days after BTR’s 
2021 Annual General Meeting, however this may be as late as 31 March 2022 depending upon the nature of shareholder 
approval required. The exercise price of this Call Option is US$25 million, and the expiry is 5 calendar years since settlement 
date of this Call Option Deed. An Option Fee of $300,000 is payable to SRHKL on the settlement date. Both the exercise 
price, if exercised, and the Option Fee can be settled in cash and/or BTR shares at the discretion of the Board. SRHKL has 
no rights to compel or demand exercise of the Call Option. Purchase of part of the NSR is allowed by the Call Option. 

On 27 September 2021, the Company also executed two Settlement Deeds in relation to an outstanding liability owing to 
Great Cortex International Limited (“Great Cortex”) and amounts owed to its former Company Secretary Mr Tony Lau. Under 
the Settlement Deeds: 

i. 

ii. 

iii. 

The Company will repay the loan principal of $630,000 in cash to Great Cortex on or before 18 November 2023. 
All  related  expenses  and  amounts  owing,  including  accrued  interest  payments,  will  be  waived  once  Brightstar 
meets its obligations under the Settlement Deed. 

A settlement sum of $300,000 will be paid to Mr Tony Lau, in cash and/or shares at the Company’s discretion, on 
the earlier of seven days after BTR’s 2021 Annual General Meeting or 7 December 2021. 

Mr Duan will step down from the Chairman role and remain on the Board as a Non-Executive Director. The deferred 
remuneration payment of $63,218 will be paid to Mr Duan in cash and/or shares at Brightstar’s election on the 
same settlement date under Call Option Deed above.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 
Remuneration report (audited) (continued) 
Non-executive director remuneration  

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain 
directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders. 

The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time 
to time by a general meeting.  

The  Board  considers  the  fees  paid  to  non-executive  directors  of  comparable  companies  when  undertaking  the  annual 
review process. 

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities.  The 
board  determines  payments  to  the  non-executive  directors  and  reviews  their  remuneration  annually,  based  on  market 
practice, duties and accountability.  Independent external advice is sought when required.  In the current year, no advice 
was  sought.  Fees  for  non-executive  directors  are  not  linked  to  the  performance  of  the  Company.  However,  to  align 
directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to 
participate in the option plan. 

Senior manager and executive director remuneration 
Remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of relevant comparative remuneration 
in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. The Board has access to 
external, independent advice where necessary. In the current year, no advice was obtained. 
Senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their remuneration in a variety of forms including cash, shares issued 
in lieu of salary, and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of 
payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. 

Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) 
The Group received more than 99% of yes votes on its remuneration report for the 2020 financial year. The Group did not 
receive any feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices. 

Executive Service Agreements 
The key terms of Mr Hobba and Mr Wang’s service agreements are set out below: 

William Hobba, Managing Director 

(a)  Terms of agreement dated 1 December 2020, commencing 3 December 2020 for a term of three years

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

-23- 

Brightstar Resources Limited 

The  following  are  the  significant  accounting  policies  adopted  by  the  group  in  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 
financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. 

(a)  Basis of preparation of the financial report 

This financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other applicable authoritative pronouncements of 
the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). 

The  financial  report  covers  Brightstar  Resources  Limited  (“the  Company”)  and  its  controlled  entities  as  a  group 
(together referred to as the “Group”). Brightstar Resources Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and 
domiciled in Australia. Brightstar Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial 
report. 

Compliance with IFRS 

The  financial  report  also  complies  with  the  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  issued  by  the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

Historical cost convention 

The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value 
for certain classes of assets and liabilities as described in the accounting policies. 

Fair value measurement 

For financial reporting purposes, ‘fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a 
liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants (under current market conditions) at the 
measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation 
technique.  

When estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the entity uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in 
the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant 
observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure 
fair value are categorised into three levels according to the extent to which the inputs are observable:  

•  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can 

access at the measurement date.  

•  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or 

liability, either directly or indirectly.  

•  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.  

(b)  Going Concern 

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business 
activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

The Group has recorded a net profit of $60,551,860 (2020: $6,617,894 loss) and cash inflows from operating and 
investing activities of $3,191,613 (2020: outflows of $1,306,152) for the reporting period. As at 30 June 2021, the 
Group had a cash balance of $985,035 (30 June 2020: $335,205), had net assets of $2,333,896 (30 June 2020: 
$914,833 net liabilities) and current exploration expenditure commitments of $703,670.  

The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the period ending 30 September 2022. It is recognised that 
additional funding is required either through the issue of further shares, or convertible notes, or the sale of assets, or 
a combination of these activities for the Group to continue to actively explore and develop its mineral properties, until 
recommencement  of  mining  operations.  The  directors  may  also  look  to  delay  the  timing  of  certain  budgeted 
expenditures in accordance with their three year strategic plan. 

Subsequent to the financial year end, the Company has signed a Mandate for its first capital raising since completion 
of recapitalisation in November 2020. The Company also managed to renegotiate the terms of the Great Cortex loan 
(originally due 30 September 2021) and extended the repayment date by more than 24 months to November 2023. 
Refer to Note 24 for further information.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

The  following  are  the  significant  accounting  policies  adopted  by  the  group  in  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 

(b)  Going Concern (continued) 

financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. 

Brightstar Resources Limited 

         Brightstar Resources Limited 

The directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the opinion 
that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. 

However,  the  Group  acknowledge  that  the  status  of  going  concern  relies  on  the  development  of  the  Company’s 
projects and subsequent capital raising to support the development. Should the Group be unable to raise further debt 
or capital, there exists a material uncertainty that the Group may in the future not be able to continue as a going 
concern. The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded 
asset  amounts  nor  to  the  amounts  and  classification  of  liabilities  that  might  be  necessary  should  the  Group  not 
continue as a going concern. 

(c)  New and revised accounting standards effective at 30 June 2021 

The group has applied all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards that apply to annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 July 2020, including the following: 

AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business 

AASB 2018-6 amends AASB 3 Business Combinations to clarify the definition of a business, assisting entities to 
determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The 
amendments: 

(a)  clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an 

input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs; 

(b) 

remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes 
and continuing to produce outputs; 

(c)  add  guidance  and  illustrative  examples  to  help  entities  assess  whether  a  substantive  process  has  been 

acquired; 

(d)  narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to customers 

and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs; and 

•  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can 

(e)  add an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities 

and assets is not a business. 

•  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or 

The application of AASB 2018-6 has not materially impacted the financial statements of the Group. 

AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material 

AASB  2018-7  principally  amends  AASB  101  Presentation  of  Financial  Statements  and  AASB  108  Accounting 
Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments refine the definition of material in AASB 
101. The amendments clarify the definition of material and its application by improving the wording and aligning the 
definition  across  AASB  Standards  and  other  publications.  The  amendment  also  includes  some  supporting 
requirements in AASB 101 in the definition to give it more prominence and clarifies the explanation accompanying 
the definition of material. 

The application of AASB 2018-7 has not materially impacted the financial statements of the Group. 

AASB  2019-5  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Disclosure  of  the  Effect  of  New  IFRS 
Standards Not Yet Issued in Australia 

AASB  2019-5  makes  amendments  to  AASB  1054  Australian  Additional  Disclosures  by  adding  a  disclosure 
requirement for an entity intending to comply with IFRS Standards to disclose the information required by paragraph 
30 of AASB 108 (regarding disclosing the effect of new standards not yet issued) to IFRS Standards that have not 
yet been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. 

The application of AASB 2019-5 has not materially impacted the financial statements of the Group. 

(d)  Accounting standards issued but not yet effective 

At  the  date  of  authorisation  of  the  financial  statements,  the  following  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the 
Group for the year ended 30 June 2021: 

(a)  Basis of preparation of the financial report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 

-26- 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(e)  Principles of consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  those  of  the  consolidated  entity  (“the  group”),  comprising  the  financial 
statements of the parent entity and all of the entities the parent controls. The group controls an entity where it has the 
power, for which the parent has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and for 
which the parent has the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the amount of its returns. 

The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  prepared  for  the  same  reporting  period  as  the  parent  entity,  using 
consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies which may 
exist. 

All  inter  group  balances  and  transactions,  including  any  unrealised  profits  or  losses  have  been  eliminated  on 
consolidation.  Subsidiaries  are  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  obtained  by  the  group  and  are  de 
recognised from the date that control ceases. 

Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the group are presented as non controlling 
interests.  Non  controlling  interests  are  initially  recognised  either  at  fair  value  or  at  the  non  controlling  interests’ 
proportionate  share  of  the  acquired  entity’s  net  identifiable  assets.  This  decision  is  made  on  an  acquisition  by 
acquisition basis. Non controlling interests in the results of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of financial position respectively. 

(f)  Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with AASB requires management to make judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income 
and expenses. 

The  estimates  and  associated  assumptions  are  based  on  historical  experience  and  various  other  factors  that  are 
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the judgements 
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may 
differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are 
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised; if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision 
and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 

 (i)  Significant accounting judgements include: 

Exploration and evaluation costs 
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest.  These 
costs  are  carried  forward  in  respect  of  an  area  that  has  not  at  reporting  date  reached  a  stage  which  permits  a 
reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or  otherwise  of  economically  recoverable  reserves,  and  active  Group 
operations in, or relating to, the area of interest are continuing. 

(ii)  Significant accounting estimates and assumptions include: 

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets 
The  ultimate  recoupment  of  the  value  of  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  is  dependent  on  the  successful 
development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale, of the exploration and evaluation assets. 

On  a  regular  basis,  management  consider  whether  there  are  indicators  as  to  whether  the  asset  carrying  values 
exceed their recoverable amounts.  This consideration includes assessment of the following: 

(a)  expiration of the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area of interest with no plans 

for renewal; 

(b)  substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation in the specific area is neither budgeted nor 

planned; 

(c)  exploration for and evaluation activities have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral 

resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; 

(d)  sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying 
amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development 
or by sale.

(f)  Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) 

Where an impairment indicator is identified, the determination of the recoverable amount requires the use of estimates 
and judgement in determining the inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts. 

The key areas of judgement and estimate include: 

-  Recent exploration and evaluation results and resource estimates; 
- 
- 

Environmental issues that may impact on the underlying tenements; 
Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the operations and carrying values of assets and 
liabilities. 

Recoverability of Mine Property and Plant 
Certain assumptions are required to be made in order to assess the recoverability of Mine Property and Plant. The 
recoverable amount of Mine Property and Plant is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Mine 
Property and Plant values are tested on a “Fair value less costs of disposal” as a basis to determine any impairment. 
In estimating the fair value of Mine Property and Plant, the Group engages third party qualified valuers to perform the 
valuation of Mine Property and Plant.  

The key areas of judgement and estimate include: 

--  Auction Value of Mine Property and Plant (last performed in July 2017); and 
--  Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the operations and carrying values of assets and liabilities. 

Provision for restoration and rehabilitation obligations  
The  estimated  costs  of  future  site  rehabilitation  and  restoration,  including  heritage  preservation  where  required, 
associated with previous mining  and/or exploration activity are provided for as and when an obligation arises  and 
are included in the costs of the related area of interest. These costs include the dismantling and removal of any plant, 
equipment  and  building  structures  and  rehabilitation,  where  such  work  is  deemed  appropriate  by  the  relevant 
government authorities and the cost of making safe any remaining aspects of the previous mining operation.  The 
costs are based on estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and existing technology. 

The provision is based on the best available information of costs expected to be incurred at the expiry of the respective 
license  agreements.    Such  costs  have  been  provided  for  at  the  present  value  of  future  expected  expenditure 
discounted  using  a  rate  adjusted  for  risks  specific  to  the  liability.    On  an  ongoing  basis  the  closure  liability  is 
remeasured at each reporting period in line with the changes in time value of money (recognised as a finance expense 
in profit or loss and an increase in provision), and changes in estimates of future costs or methods of rehabilitation.  
Changes in the closure liability are recognised prospectively.  

Certain  assumptions  are  required  to  be  made  in  determining  the  amount  expected  to  be  incurred  to  settle  its 
obligations  in  relation  to  restoration  and  rehabilitation  of  the  mine  site.    Key  assumptions  include  the  amount  and 
timing of future cash flow estimates.   

Share-based payments 
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with suppliers and employees by reference to the fair 
value of the goods or services received provided this can be estimated reliably.  If a reliable estimate cannot be made 
the  value  of  the  goods  or  services  is  determined  indirectly  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  equity  instrument 
granted.  The  fair  value  of  the  equity  instruments  granted  is  determined  using  an  appropriate  option  pricing  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. Please refer to Note 19 
for further details.

(f)  Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) 

(g) 

Income tax 

Where an impairment indicator is identified, the determination of the recoverable amount requires the use of estimates 

and judgement in determining the inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts. 

The key areas of judgement and estimate include: 

-  Recent exploration and evaluation results and resource estimates;

- 

liabilities. 

Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the operations and carrying values of assets and 

Recoverability of Mine Property and Plant 

Certain assumptions are required to be made in order to assess the recoverability of Mine Property and Plant. The 

recoverable amount of Mine Property and Plant is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Mine 

Property and Plant values are tested on a “Fair value less costs of disposal” as a basis to determine any impairment. 

In estimating the fair value of Mine Property and Plant, the Group engages third party qualified valuers to perform the 

valuation of Mine Property and Plant.  

The key areas of judgement and estimate include: 

--  Auction Value of Mine Property and Plant (last performed in July 2017); and 

--  Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the operations and carrying values of assets and liabilities. 

Provision for restoration and rehabilitation obligations  

The  estimated  costs  of  future  site  rehabilitation  and  restoration,  including  heritage  preservation  where  required, 

associated with previous mining  and/or exploration activity are provided for as and when an obligation arises  and 

are included in the costs of the related area of interest. These costs include the dismantling and removal of any plant, 

equipment  and  building  structures  and  rehabilitation,  where  such  work  is  deemed  appropriate  by  the  relevant 

government authorities and the cost of making safe any remaining aspects of the previous mining operation.  The 

costs are based on estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and existing technology. 

The provision is based on the best available information of costs expected to be incurred at the expiry of the respective 

license  agreements.    Such  costs  have  been  provided  for  at  the  present  value  of  future  expected  expenditure 

discounted  using  a  rate  adjusted  for  risks  specific  to  the  liability.    On  an  ongoing  basis  the  closure  liability  is 

remeasured at each reporting period in line with the changes in time value of money (recognised as a finance expense 

in profit or loss and an increase in provision), and changes in estimates of future costs or methods of rehabilitation.  

Changes in the closure liability are recognised prospectively.  

Certain  assumptions  are  required  to  be  made  in  determining  the  amount  expected  to  be  incurred  to  settle  its 

obligations  in  relation  to  restoration  and  rehabilitation  of  the  mine  site.    Key  assumptions  include  the  amount  and 

timing of future cash flow estimates.   

Share-based payments 

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with suppliers and employees by reference to the fair 

value of the goods or services received provided this can be estimated reliably.  If a reliable estimate cannot be made 

the  value  of  the  goods  or  services  is  determined  indirectly  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  equity  instrument 

granted.  The  fair  value  of  the  equity  instruments  granted  is  determined  using  an  appropriate  option  pricing  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. Please refer to Note 19 

for further details. 

Current  income  tax  expense  or  revenue  is  the  tax  payable  on  the  current  period's  taxable  income  based  on  the 
applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the applicable tax rates when the assets 
are expected to be recovered or liabilities are settled. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the 
initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not recognised if it arises from the 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 nor taxable profit or loss. 

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. 

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in 
equity. 

(h)  Goods and services tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and purchased assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of 
GST incurred is not recoverable from the 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 in 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. 

(i)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three 
months or less held at call with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings 
in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 

(j)  Property, plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such 
cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is 
incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the 
plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation. 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: 

Office furniture and equipment   
Plant and equipment   
Motor vehicles 

5 - 8 years 
              3 - 5 years 
4 - 5 years 

The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at 
each financial year end. 

 (i) Impairment 

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance date, with recoverable 
amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. 

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is based on the fair value less costs of disposal. 

An  impairment  exists  when  the  carrying  value  of  an  asset  or  cash-generating  units  exceeds  its  estimated 
recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount. 

For  plant  and  equipment,  impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  as  impairment 
expenses.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(ii) Derecognition and disposal 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits 
are expected from its use or disposal. 

Any  gain  or  loss  arising  on  derecognition  of  the  asset  (calculated  as  the  difference  between  the  net  disposal 
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. 

(k)  Exploration and evaluation 

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration 
and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied: 

(i) 

the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and 

(ii)   at least one of the following conditions is also met: 

(a)  the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and 

exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or 

(k)   Exploration and evaluation (continued) 

(b)  exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the balance 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. 

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, 
exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised 
of  assets  used  in  exploration  and  evaluation  activities.  General  and  administrative  costs  are  only  included  in  the 
measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular 
area of interest. 

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 (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger 
than  the  relevant  area  of  interest)  is  estimated  to  determine  the  extent  of  the  impairment  loss  (if  any).  Where  an 
impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its 
recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount 
that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years. 

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant 
exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development. 

(l)  Mine development expenditure 

Mine development expenditure represents the accumulation of all exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred in 
respect of areas of interest in which a decision to mine has been made. Plant construction and commissioning costs 
are included as mine development expenditure until the commissioning phase is completed. 

Once commission phase is completed and production commences, all assets under mine development expenditure 
is  transferred  to  mine  property  and  plant.    As  at  the  date  of  the  financial  report,  there  are  no  mine  development 
expenditure recognised by the Group. 

(m)  Mine property and plant 

Once mine construction is completed, assets from mine development expenditure are transferred to mine property 
and plant (which is a sub category in property, plant and equipment).  Mine property and plant are stated at cost, less 
accumulated depreciation and accumulated losses.  

When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of mine property after the commencement of production, 
such expenditure is carried forward as part of mine development expenditure only when substantial future economic 
benefits are thereby established, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production.   

Where  mine  property  and  plant  is  in  production,  amortisation  of  mine  property  and  plant  is  provided  on  a  unit  of 
production basis, which results in a write off of the cost proportional to the depletion of the proven and probable mineral 
reserves. In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its mine property and plant 
on an ongoing basis.

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. 

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, 

exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised 

of  assets  used  in  exploration  and  evaluation  activities.  General  and  administrative  costs  are  only  included  in  the 

measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular 

area of interest. 

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 (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger

Mine development expenditure represents the accumulation of all exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred in 

respect of areas of interest in which a decision to mine has been made. Plant construction and commissioning costs 

are included as mine development expenditure until the commissioning phase is completed. 

Once commission phase is completed and production commences, all assets under mine development expenditure 

is  transferred  to  mine  property  and  plant.    As  at  the  date  of  the  financial  report,  there  are  no  mine  development 

expenditure recognised by the Group. 

(m)  Mine property and plant 

Once mine construction is completed, assets from mine development expenditure are transferred to mine property 

and plant (which is a sub category in property, plant and equipment).  Mine property and plant are stated at cost, less 

accumulated depreciation and accumulated losses.  

When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of mine property after the commencement of production, 

such expenditure is carried forward as part of mine development expenditure only when substantial future economic 

benefits are thereby established, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production.   

Where  mine  property  and  plant  is  in  production,  amortisation  of  mine  property  and  plant  is  provided  on  a  unit  of 

production basis, which results in a write off of the cost proportional to the depletion of the proven and probable mineral 

reserves. In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its mine property and plant 

on an ongoing basis.  

Where the Group’s mine property and plant is in care and maintenance, the Group has impaired assets to its fair value 
less cost of disposal and the Group amortises over a straight-line basis to account for the physical wear and tear while 
the asset remains idle, over an estimated remaining useful life of 5 years.  

The net carrying value of each area of interest is reviewed regularly and to the extent to which this value exceeds its 
recoverable amount, the excess is fully provided against or written off in the financial year in which this is determined. 

(n)  Leases 

At the commencement date of a lease (other than leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets), the 
group recognises a lease asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its 
obligation to make lease payments. 

(n)  Leases (continued) 

Lease assets 

Lease assets are initially recognised at cost, comprising the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, 
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease, less any lease incentives received, any 
initial  direct  costs  incurred  by  the  group,  and  an  estimate  of  costs  to  be  incurred  by  the  group  in  dismantling  and 
removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition 
required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. 

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  lease  assets  are  measured  at  cost  (adjusted  for  any  remeasurement  of  the 
associated lease liability), less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. 

Lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the underlying asset, 
consistent with the estimated consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the underlying asset. 

Lease liabilities 

Lease liabilities are initially recognised at the present value of the future lease payments (i.e., the lease payments that 
are unpaid at the commencement date of the lease). These lease payments are discounted using the interest rate 
implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or otherwise using the group’s incremental borrowing rate. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments 
(i.e., the lease payments that are unpaid at the reporting date). Interest expense on lease liabilities is recognised in 
profit or loss (presented as a component of finance costs). Lease liabilities are remeasured to reflect changes to lease 
terms, changes to lease payments and any lease modifications not accounted for as separate leases. 

Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recognised as an expense when 
incurred. 

Leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets 

Lease payments made in relation to leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets (for which a lease 
asset and a lease liability has not been recognised) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the 
lease term. 

(o)  Non-current assets held for sale 

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount 
and fair value less costs to sell. 

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered 
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale 
is  highly  probable,  and  the  asset  (or  disposal  group)  is  available  for  immediate  sale  in  its  present  condition. 
Management must be committed to the sale which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed 
sale within one year from the date of classification.

(p)  Borrowing costs 

Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of 
lease arrangements, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are 
regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.  

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except for borrowing costs incurred as part of the cost of the construction 
of a qualifying asset, in which case the costs are capitalised until the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. 

(q)  Financial Instruments  

Initial recognition and measurement  

Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when  the  Company  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual 
provisions  to  the  instrument.  For  financial  assets,  this  is  the  date  that  the  Company  commits  itself  to  either  the 
purchase  or  sale  of  the  assets  (i.e.  trade  date  accounting  is  adopted).  Financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  initially 
measured at their fair value. 

Classification and subsequent measurement  
Financial liabilities 
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating 
interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the 
financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the 
expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition.  

Financial assets  
Financial  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  With  respect  to  trade  and  other 
receivables, these are recognised at the consideration that is unconditional which is considered to be fair value. The 
Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected 
credit loss allowance for all trade receivables. 

The initial designation of the financial instruments to measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time option 
on initial classification and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised.  

Derecognition  
Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement 
of financial position. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 
A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e., when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or 
expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial 
modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition 
of a new financial liability.  

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and 
payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 

Derecognition of financial assets 
A  financial  asset  is  derecognised  when  the  holder’s  contractual  rights  to  its  cash  flows  expire,  or  the  asset  is 
transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.  

All the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial assets: 
- 
- 
- 

the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred; 
all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and  
the Company no longer controls the asset (i.e., the Company has no practical ability to make a unilateral decision 
to sell the asset to a third party).

(p)  Borrowing costs 

(r)  Provisions – Employee benefits 

Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of 

(i) Wages, Salaries and Annual Leave 

lease arrangements, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are 

regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.  

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except for borrowing costs incurred as part of the cost of the construction 

of a qualifying asset, in which case the costs are capitalised until the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. 

(q)  Financial Instruments  

Initial recognition and measurement  

Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when  the  Company  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual 

provisions  to  the  instrument.  For  financial  assets,  this  is  the  date  that  the  Company  commits  itself  to  either  the 

purchase  or  sale  of  the  assets  (i.e.  trade  date  accounting  is  adopted).  Financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  initially 

measured at their fair value. 

Classification and subsequent measurement  

Financial liabilities 

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating 

interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the 

financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the 

expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition.  

Financial assets  

Financial  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  With  respect  to  trade  and  other 

receivables, these are recognised at the consideration that is unconditional which is considered to be fair value. The 

Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected 

credit loss allowance for all trade receivables. 

Derecognition  

of financial position. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 

A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e., when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or 

expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial 

modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition 

of a new financial liability.  

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and 

payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 

Derecognition of financial assets 

A  financial  asset  is  derecognised  when  the  holder’s  contractual  rights  to  its  cash  flows  expire,  or  the  asset  is 

transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.  

All the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial assets: 

the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred; 

all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and  

- 

- 

- 

the Company no longer controls the asset (i.e., the Company has no practical ability to make a unilateral decision 

to sell the asset to a third party). 

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits  and  annual  leave  are  recognised  in  respect  of 
employees’ services up to the reporting date.  They are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate 
expected to apply at the time of settlement.  Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave 
is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. 

(ii) Long Service Leave 

The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of expected future payments to 
be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting.  Consideration is given to expected future 
wage and salary levels, experience of employee of departures, and period of service.   

(s)  Provision for restoration and rehabilitation  

A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of development 
activities undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and 
the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of abandoning 
sites, removing facilities and restoring the affected areas.  

The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle 
the restoration obligation at the balance date. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the 
estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at each balance date. 

The initial estimate of the restoration and rehabilitation provision is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and 
amortised on the same basis as the related asset, unless the present obligation arises from the production of inventory 
in the period, in which case the amount is included in the cost of production for the period. Changes in the estimate of 
the provision for restoration and rehabilitation are treated in the same manner unless they are not expected to be 
recovered over the course of the Groups operation where they are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss. The 
unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost rather than being capitalised 
into the cost of the related asset. 

The initial designation of the financial instruments to measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time option 

on initial classification and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised.  

(t)  Share Capital 

Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement 

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.   

(u)  Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share (‘EPS’) is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the Company for the 
reporting period, after excluding any costs for servicing equity (other than ordinary shares and converting preference 
shares  classified  as  ordinary  shares  for  EPS  calculation  purposes),  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary 
shares of the Company, adjusted for any bonus element.    

Diluted earnings is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings, adjusted by the after tax effect of financing costs 
associated  with  dilutive  potential  ordinary  share  and  the  effect  on  revenues  and  expenses  of  conversion,  by  the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential dilutive ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. 

(v)  Other revenue and other income 

Interest revenue is measured in accordance with the effective interest method.  

Dividend and other distribution revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend or other distribution has 
been established. Dividends and other distributions received from associates and joint ventures are accounted for in 
accordance with the equity method.  

All revenue is measured net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount 
and fair value less cost to sell. These assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered 
through a sale transaction rather than continuing use. The condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly 
probably, the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition and management is 
committed to the sale within one year from the date of classification.

The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 30% (2020: 27.5%) payable by Australian corporate 
entities on taxable profits under Australian tax law. At 30 June 2021, legislation to reduce the small business tax rate from 
27.5% for 2020 financial year to 26% for the 2021 financial year has been enacted. The company does not currently qualify 
as a Small Business Entity and as such has recognised future deferred tax assets at 30%. The Company has conducted 
a preliminary review in respect of losses incurred prior to 4 November 2011 and has determined that they are likely able 
to be used by meeting the Same Business Test (SBT) and Continuity of Ownership Test (COT). Losses incurred between 
4 November 2011 and the date of the effectuation of the DECA are able to be utilised under the COT.  

(c) Unrecognised deferred tax assets 
The  Group  has  unrecognised  deferred  assets  compromising  relating  to  revenue  tax  losses  of  $19,841,391  (2020:

The group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of 
directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.  Reportable segments disclosed are based 
on aggregating operating segments, where the segments have similar characteristics. The group’s sole activity is mineral 
exploration and resource development wholly within Australia; therefore the Group considers that it has one reportable 
segment being mineral exploration with the state of Western Australia. 

The reportable segment is represented by the primary statements forming these financial statements.

The Group recently completed an annual review and determined that it appropriate to reduce the current provision level 
based  on  two  major  findings:  (1)  some  of  the  costs  being  accounted  no  longer  exist  and/or  were  rehabilitated  in  prior 
periods,  and  (2)  unit  rate  prices  and  domain  sizes  used  in  previous  calculation  are  overestimated.  Adjustment  of  the

Nature and Purpose of Reserves 

Share-based payments reserve 
This reserve is used to record the value of equity benefits provided to employees and unrelated parties for services or 
acquisition. 

Equity reserve 
This reserve was created to record the difference between the fair value of the buy-back consideration and the historical 
issue value of the buy-back shares upon completion of the DECA. 

NOTE 20: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

(a) Capital risk management 
The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of 
the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. 
Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as tax 
and general administrative outgoings. 
Gearing levels are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis in line with its target gearing ratio, the cost of capital and the 
risks associated with each class of capital. 

(b) Categories of financial instruments

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 

NOTE 20: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) 

 (e) Credit risk management 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the counterparty by failing to 
discharge an obligation. 

The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk,  excluding  the  value  of  any  collateral  or  other  security,  at  the  reporting  date  of 
recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any allowance for credit losses, as disclosed in 
consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the consolidated financial statements. 

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The credit risk on liquid 
funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with a minimum credit rating of AA assigned by reputable credit 
rating agencies. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was. The Group does not have any 
other  material credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or group of counterparties under financial instruments entered 
into by the group. 

(f)  Liquidity risk management 

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity 
risk  management  framework  for  the  management  of  the  Group’s  short,  medium  and  long-term  funding  and  liquidity 
management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and 
reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles 
of financial assets and liabilities. 

The following table details the company’s and the Group’s expected maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. These 
have been drawn up based on undiscounted contractual maturities of the financial assets including interest that will be 
earned on those assets except where the Group anticipates that the cash flow will occur in a different period.

NOTE 21: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

Capital expenditure commitments 
The Directors are not aware of any other commitments from the Group’s operations as at 30 June 2021. 

Exploration commitments 
The Group has an expenditure commitment of $703,670 (exc. GST) for the year 2021-22 to sustain current tenements 
under lease from the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS). The expenditure commitment includes 
annual tenement rentals of $124,702 (2020: $86,274). 
Contingencies 
The Company will pay SRHKL 3% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty on gold produced from the tenements listed in the 
Tenement Schedule in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report, less those sold to Regis Resources Limited during the period, 
per Note 10. Subsequent to year end, the Group entered into a Royalty Sales agreement to buyback the above 3% NSR 
royalty before 31 March. Refer to Note 24 for further information. 

As  announced  on  8  February  2021,  the  Group  acquired  a  prospective  exploration  licence  within  Western  Australia, 
E38/3438, from Mining Equities Pty Ltd. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, Mining Equities Pty Ltd is entitled to a 
1% net smelter royalty with respect of the tenement 

The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk,  excluding  the  value  of  any  collateral  or  other  security,  at  the  reporting  date  of 

recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any allowance for credit losses, as disclosed in 

consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the consolidated financial statements. 

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The credit risk on liquid 

funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with a minimum credit rating of AA assigned by reputable credit 

rating agencies. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was. The Group does not have any

into by the group. 

(f)  Liquidity risk management 

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity 

risk  management  framework  for  the  management  of  the  Group’s  short,  medium  and  long-term  funding  and  liquidity 

management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and 

reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles 

of financial assets and liabilities. 

The following table details the company’s and the Group’s expected maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. These 

have been drawn up based on undiscounted contractual maturities of the financial assets including interest that will be 

earned on those assets except where the Group anticipates that the cash flow will occur in a different period.

of shareholder approval required. The exercise price of this Call Option is US$25 million, and the expiry is 5 calendar years 
since settlement date of this Call Option Deed. An Option Fee of $300,000 is payable to SRHKL on the settlement date. 
Both the exercise price, if exercised, and the Option Fee can be settled in cash and/or BTR shares at the discretion of the 
Board. SRHKL has no rights to compel or demand exercise of the Call Option. Purchase of part of the NSR is allowed by 
the Call Option.
