Letter from the Chairman 

On  behalf of  your Board  of  Directors,  I  have  pleasure  in  presenting  the  2018 Annual  Report and 
Financial Statements of Bryah Resources Limited for the year to 30 June 2018.   

Over the period under report the Company successfully completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) 
with $5.0  million  raised before  costs and  was  then admitted  to the Official  List of ASX Limited  in 
October 2017. The Company is most appreciative of the support given to it during the IPO process 
from shareholders, advisors and the managers of the offer. 

Bryah Resources recorded a total comprehensive loss after tax of $745,666 for the period ended 30 
June  2018.  Capitalised  expenditure  on  exploration,  excluding  tenement  acquisition  costs,  was 
$1,180,427 (2017: $311,526) during the financial year, with several major copper-gold exploration 
activities being undertaken since listing. Drilling on our copper-gold exploration targets in the Bryah 
Basin is underway and we look forward to reporting results in the coming weeks. 

In early 2018, the Company made the significant decision to expand its exploration focus in the Bryah 
Basin beyond copper-gold to manganese. Whilst high-grade manganese production from the Bryah 
Basin, mainly in the 1940-1960’s, has been well documented, only limited exploration work has been 
recorded  to  date.  Globally,  manganese  is  the  fourth  most  used  mineral  commodity  with  demand 
dominated  by  steel  manufacturers,  where  over  90%  of  all  manganese  is  used.  Emerging  new 
applications for manganese in batteries and energy storage are seen as exciting opportunities that 
have the potential to diversify and strengthen the manganese market in the years ahead. 

Recent field work by the Bryah exploration team has established the potential for new zones of high-
grade manganese ore to be defined with shallow drilling, which the Company is due to commence 
this year. The Company’s aim is to define sufficient manganese resources on our tenements so that 
development of new manganese mining operations can be considered in the near term. 

The  Board  of  Bryah  Resources  Limited  is  committed  to  developing  a  self-sustaining  resources 
business.  

I wish to thank shareholders for their loyalty and support throughout the period and extend my sincere 
thanks to my fellow directors, all our employees and consultants for their contributions and efforts to 
date. We look forward to some exciting developments in the year ahead. 

Yours faithfully 

Leslie Ingraham 
Non-Executive Director 
(Acting Chairman)

Review of Operations 

Bryah Basin - Copper-Gold 

The Company’s Bryah Basin Project covers 720km2 of highly prospective ground in central Western 
Australia.  The  Bryah  Basin  is  host  to  high-grade  copper-gold  deposits  at  Degrussa,  Monty  and 
Horseshoe Lights. These copper-gold deposits are considered to originally be Volcanogenic Massive 
Sulphide (VMS) systems. Importantly VMS systems globally are known to occur in clusters therefore 
the Bryah Basin is considered to be highly prospective for further VMS copper-gold systems to be 
discovered through the application of the latest exploration techniques and deeper drilling. 

Figure 1 – Bryah Basin Tenement Location Map 

Since  the  formation  of  the  Company  in  early  2017,  exploration  efforts  have  been  focused  on 
generating exploration targets for drill testing.  A number of exploration programmes have been 
completed as part of the target generation process. These activities have included: 

•

a  detailed  airborne  magnetometer  and  radiometric  survey  of  approximately  16,000  line
kilometres flown in March/April 2017. The survey provided the Company with an impressive
dataset which has been merged with existing aeromagnetic survey data and used to create a
set of interpreted regional geology maps;

interpretation  from  the

ground  reconnaissance  mapping  to  confirm  the  geological 
aeromagnetic survey;
a ground geochemistry survey on a broad scale (500m x 500m) using ultra low-level multi-
element and hyper-spectral analysis;
a helicopter-borne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™ Max) geophysical survey
involved 1,860 line-kilometres over five areas totalling approximately 325km2, and
a ground Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) geophysical survey over 6 locations to better
define the depth and orientation of selected anomalies detected by the VTEM™ Max survey.

As a consequence of this exploration work, 6 anomalies have been identified to date that warrant 
drill testing. These targets are shown on Figure 2 and drilling commenced at the Jupiter EM anomaly 
in August 2018 (see Plate 1).  

Drilling at Jupiter and Mars is being co-funded with up to $150,000 from the Western Australian 
State Government under its Exploration Incentive Scheme.

Bryah Basin - Manganese 

During the year, the Company announced the broadening of its exploration activities to also target 
manganese. The Bryah Basin is well known for hosting a number of historical manganese mining 
areas. Manganese mining activities are known to have occurred during the period 1948 – 1967 with 
manganese production grades above 40% Manganese reported. 

Manganese exploration commenced in March 2018 with reconnaissance sampling and mapping of 
Bryah’s  tenements  by  Company  personnel.  Numerous  rock  chip  samples  were  collected  from 
previously mined areas as well as new and/or under-explored locations. Laboratory assays for rock 
chip  samples  collected  from  numerous  locations,  including  Black  Hill,  Black  Caviar,  Devils  Hill 
Mudderwearie and Brumby Creek (see Figures 3 and 4) have been received with the best rock chip 
assays reported this year being: 

Black Hill Prospect - 52.1%, 49.5% and 48.2% Mn;
Black Caviar Prospect- 49.1%, 48.5% and 44.1% Mn;
Brumby Creek Prospect - 5 samples assayed above 40% Mn, including a value of 48.5% Mn;

•
•
•
• Mudderwearie Mine - 50.9% and 47.7% Mn, and
•
Devils Hill Prospect - 42.1% and 41.0% Mn.

The  assay  results  from  the  mapping  and  sampling  programme  on  the  Company’s  100%  owned 
tenements confirm the presence of in-situ high-grade manganese at several locations which will be 
the focus of follow-up exploration, including drilling. 

As part of the manganese exploration strategy, the Company announced in May 2018 that it had 
executed exclusive 1 year  option agreements to  purchase the mining  lease covering the historic 
Horseshoe  South  Manganese  Mine  as  well  as  the  rights  to  prospect,  explore,  mine  and  develop 
manganese ore (“Manganese Rights”) covering a total of 154km2 of ground (see Figure 2). 

The Horseshoe Formation  is the main manganese producing region within the Bryah Basin, with 
production dominated by the Horseshoe South Mine, and a satellite deposit at the Horseshoe North 
Mine which is located on E52/1860. The Horseshoe South Manganese mine was last operated from 
2008 to 2011 by Process Minerals International Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of ASX-listed Mineral Resources 
Limited.  

Rock chip sampling on the Horseshoe South mining lease recorded assays of up to 48.8% Mn (see 
Figure 3), highlighting the potential for additional mineral resources to be established by additional 
exploration work. 

Several stockpiles of coarse and fine manganiferous material remain on site within M52/806 (see 
Plate 2). The coarse stockpile has been reported to be 65,000m3 in volume and the fine stockpiles 
are reported as approximately 150,000m3 in total volume.   

The Company has been undertaking ore sorting and other testwork on samples collected from the 
stockpiles to establish whether the stockpiles can be upgraded to produce a saleable product. The 
Company has engaged a consultant who has extensive experience in modern ore sorting technology 
to supervise this testwork.

Plate 2 – Horseshoe South Manganese Mine showing some of the manganiferous stockpiles 

On ground approximately 1 km south of the Horseshoe South Manganese Mine, private operators 
have been using mobile crushing and screening equipment to produce high-grade manganese ore 
from  a  shallow  open  cut  mine  commenced  in  late  2017,  demonstrating  that  manganese  mining 
operations  can  be  successfully  undertaken.  The  Company’s  strategy  therefore,  is  to  identify 
manganese  resources  within  the  Horseshoe  South  Manganese  Mine  mining  lease  and  on  the 
adjoining exploration licences sufficient enough to establish low-cost mining operations in the near 
term. 

Drilling activities on high priority manganese target areas will commence in 2018. 

Gabanintha Project 

During  the  year,  Bryah  secured  the  rights  to  all  minerals  except  Vanadium/Uranium/Cobalt/ 
Chromium/Titanium/Lithium/Tantalum/Manganese & Iron Ore (Excluded Minerals) over a 202 km2 
project  area  at  Gabanintha,  approximately  40km  south  of  Meekatharra,  Western  Australia. 
Australian Vanadium Limited (AVL) retains 100% rights in the Excluded Minerals on the project.  

A  total  of  26  RC  drill  holes  for  2,484  metres  were  completed  in  the  Company’s  initial  drilling 
programme at the  Tumblegum South Prospect (see Figure 5) in December  2017. Best intercepts 
recorded from the drilling are tabled overleaf and shown in Figure 6.

Figure 5 – Gabanintha Location Map 

The mineralised zones at Tumblegum South are characterised by very tightly controlled ductile shear 
zones  consisting  of  moderate  to  intense  chlorite,  phlogopite  (biotite),  talc  alteration  zones  and 
lesser  silica  and  sericite  with  quartz-carbonate  (±  pyrite  ±  chalcopyrite)  veining.  Drilling  results 
indicate that mineralised zones intersected are generally open along strike and/or down dip and 
that extensional drilling is warranted to further test the mineralised lenses. 

Some holes warrant extension in a follow-up programme, with extension of BGRC006 being a high 
priority to test below the mineralisation intersected in BGRC005 and BGRC015 (see Figure 7).

Figure 7 – Section A 

Australian  Vanadium  Limited  recently  reported  a  maiden  nickel  and  copper  Mineral  Resource 
estimate for the Gabanintha Vanadium deposit (released by AVL to ASX on 5 July 2018).  An Inferred 
Mineral Resource of 12.5Mt containing, inter alia, 659ppm nickel and 222ppm copper was reported 
by AVL.  

The  base  metal  sulphide  Mineral  Resource  is  considered  by  AVL  to  be  potentially  economically 
recoverable  following  recent  metallurgical  testwork.  AVL  reports  that  the  base  metal  sulphide 
mineralisation has consistently reported to the non-magnetic fraction during the separation of the 
vanadium  bearing  magnetite.  This  has  effectively  delivered  a  sulphide  by-product  for  further 
concentration by flotation. 

AVL  is  presently  undertaking  a  Preliminary  Feasibility  Study  on  development  of  their  vanadium 
deposit.

Operating and Financial Review 

A Review of Operations is contained in the Directors’ Report. 

The loss of the Company for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $745,666 (2017: 
($178,526)). The Company’s net assets as at 30 June 2018 were $5,611,334 (2017: $1,170,015). 

At  30  June  2018,  the  Company  had  cash  reserves  of  $2,503,789 (2017:  $353,485).  The  net  assets  of  the 
Group have increased by $4,441,319. The increase is largely due to the following factors: 

•
•
•
•

the issue of 25,000,000 shares at 20 cents per share, raising $5,000,000 before costs;
exploration and evaluation of the Gabanintha and Bryah Basin Projects;
incurring overheads and running costs consistent with operating a listed company; and
remuneration of key management personnel essential to the continued success of the Company.

Changes in State of Affairs 

The  Company  was  registered  on  13  January  2017 and  was  admitted  to  the Official  List  of  ASX  Limited  on 
Friday, 13 October 2017. Official quotation of the Company’s ordinary fully paid shares and quoted options 
commenced on Tuesday, 17 October 2017. 

Principal Activities 

The principal activities of the Company during the period was the commencement of exploration on the Bryah 
Basin and Gabanintha Projects. 

Likely Developments and Expected Results 

Likely developments in the operations of the Company and the expected results of those operations in future 
financial periods have not been included in this report as the inclusion of such information is likely to result in 
unreasonable prejudice to the Company.

Remuneration Report (Audited) 

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and executive of the Company. 

For the  purposes  of  this  report  Key  Management Personnel  of  the  Company  are  defined  as  those  persons 
having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company, 
directly or indirectly. 

For the purposes of this report the term “executive” includes those key management personnel who are not 
Directors of the Company. 

Remuneration Committee 

The full Board carries out the role and responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee and is responsible for 
determining  and  reviewing  the  compensation  arrangements  for  the  Directors  themselves,  the  Managing 
Director and any Executives. 

Executive remuneration is reviewed annually having regard to individual and business performance, relevant 
comparative remuneration and internal and independent external advice. 

Remuneration policy 

The  board  policy is  to  remunerate  Directors  at market  rates for time,  commitment  and responsibilities. The 
board  determines  payments  to  the  Directors  and  reviews  their  remuneration  annually,  based  on  market 
practice,  duties  and  accountability.  Independent  external  advice  is  sought  when  required.  The  maximum 
aggregate  amount  of  Directors’  fees  that  can  be  paid  is  subject  to  approval  by  shareholders  in  a  general 
meeting, from  time to  time.  Fixed fees  for  non-executive  directors  are  not linked  to  the  performance  of  the 
Company. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholders’ interests, the Directors are encouraged to 
hold shares in the Company and may be issued with options and performance rights from time to time. 

The Company’s aim is to remunerate at a level that will attract and retain high-calibre directors and employees. 
Company Directors and officers are remunerated to a level consistent with the size of the Company. 

The executive Directors and full time executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by 
the government, which is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.  Some individuals, 
however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. 

All remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. 

The  Board  believes  that  it  has  implemented  suitable  practices  and  procedures  that  are  appropriate  for  an 
organisation of this size and maturity.

The Board seeks to set aggregate compensation 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. 

Structure 

The  Constitution  and  the  ASX  Listing  Rules  specify  that  the  aggregate  compensation  of  non-executive 
directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount 
determined  is  then  divided  between  the  Directors  as  agreed.  The  latest  determination  approved  by 
shareholders was an aggregate compensation of $500,000 per year. 

The amount of aggregate compensation sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is 
apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external consultants 
as  well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual 
review process. Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration may include an incentive portion consisting of options, 
as considered appropriate by the Board, which may be subject to Shareholder approval in accordance with 
ASX Listing Rules.  

Separate from their duties as Directors, the Non-Executive Directors may undertake work for the Company 
directly  related  to  the  evaluation  and  implementation  of  various  business  opportunities,  including  mineral 
exploration/evaluation and new business ventures, for which they may receive a daily rate. These payments 
will  be made  pursuant  to  individual  agreements  with  the  non-executive  Directors  and  will  not  be taken into 
account when determining their aggregate remuneration levels. 

Executive Compensation 

Objective 

The entity aims to reward executives with a level and mix of compensation commensurate with their position 
and responsibilities within the entity so as to: 

•

•

•

•

reward  executives  for  Company  and  individual  performance  against  targets  set  by  appropriate
benchmarks;

align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;

link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and

ensure total compensation is competitive by market standards.

Structure

In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Board negotiates a remuneration to reflect 
the market salary for a position and individual of comparable responsibility and experience.  Due to the limited 
size of the Company and of its operations and financial affairs, the use of a separate remuneration committee 
is not considered appropriate.  Remuneration is regularly compared with the external market by participation 
in industry salary surveys and during recruitment activities generally. If required, the Board may engage an 
external  consultant  to  provide  independent  advice  in  the  form  of  a  written  report  detailing  market  levels  of 
remuneration for comparable executive roles. 

17

Remuneration consists of a fixed remuneration and a long term incentive portion as considered appropriate. 
Compensation may consist of the following key elements:  

•

Fixed Compensation;

• Variable Compensation;

• Short Term Incentive (STI); and

•

Long Term Incentive (LTI).

Fixed Remuneration

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate 
to the position and is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board having 
regard  to  the  Company  and  individual  performance,  relevant  comparable  remuneration  in  the  mining 
exploration sector and external advice. 

The fixed remuneration is a base salary or monthly consulting fee. 

Variable Pay - Long Term Incentives  

The objective of long term incentives is to reward Directors/executives in a manner which aligns this element 
of  remuneration  with  the  creation  of  shareholder  wealth.  The  incentive  portion  is  payable  based  upon 
attainment of objectives related to the director’s/executive’s job responsibilities. The objectives vary, but all are 
targeted to relate directly to the Company’s business and financial performance and thus to shareholder value. 

Long term incentives (LTIs) granted to Directors and executives may be delivered in the form of options or 
performance rights. LTI grants to executives are delivered in the form of the Company’s Performance Rights 
and Options Plan.  

The objective of the granting of options or rights is to reward executives in a manner which aligns the element 
of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As such LTI’s are made to executives who are able 
to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have an impact on the Company’s performance. 

The level of LTI granted is, in turn, dependent on the Company’s recent share price performance, the seniority 
of the executive, and the responsibilities the executive assumes in the Company. 

Typically,  the  grant  of  LTIs  occurs  at  the  commencement  of  employment  or in  the  event that  the individual 
receives a promotion. 

Employment contracts of directors and senior executives 

The employment arrangements of the non-executive chairman and non-executive directors are formalised in 
letters of appointment. 

Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Managing Director are formalised in an executive service 
agreement. The  commencement  date  of this  agreement is  the  date the  Company listed  on  the  ASX.  Major 
provisions are set out below. 

Neil Marston, Managing Director: 

•

•

•

Annual base salary of $240,000 plus superannuation;

Notice period required to be given by the Company for termination of one month, except in the case of
conviction of any major criminal offence which brings the Company into lasting disrepute;

Notice period required to be given by the executive for termination of three months.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the period ended 30 June 2018 

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.
These financial statements and notes represent those of Bryah Resources Limited for the period ended 30 
June 2018. 

Bryah Resources Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia. The Company is domiciled 
in Western  Australia. The  nature  of  operations  and  principal  activities  of the  Company  are  described  in  the 
Directors' Report. 

1(a)    Basis of Preparation 

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements 
of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for-
profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. 

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, 
where  applicable,  by  the  measurement  at  fair  value  of  selected  non-current  assets,  financial  assets  and 
financial  liabilities.  Material  accounting  policies  adopted  in  preparation  of  these  financial  statements  are 
presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. 

The Company’s financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. 

1(b)    New accounting standards and interpretations 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 
2018 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Company. The Company’s assessment of the 
impact  of these  new  standards  and  interpretations  is set  out  below.  New  standards  and  interpretations  not 
mentioned are considered unlikely to impact on the financial reporting of the Company. 

AASB  9  Financial  Instruments  (applicable  for  annual  reporting  periods  commencing  on  or  after  1 
January 2018). 

AASB  9  addresses  the  classification,  measurement  and  derecognition  of  financial  assets  and  financial 
liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets. AASB 
9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. Except 
for  hedge  accounting,  retrospective  application  is  required  but  providing  comparative  information  is  not 
compulsory. For hedge accounting, the requirements are generally applied prospectively, with some limited 
exceptions. 

The Company plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date and will not restate comparative 
information. Based on the Company’s current operations and financial assets and liabilities currently held, the 
Company does not anticipate any material impact on the financial statements upon adoption of this standard. 
The Company does not presently engage in hedge accounting. 

AASB  15  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers  (applicable  for  annual  reporting  periods 
commencing on or after 1 January 2018). 

AASB 15 will replace AASB 118 which covers revenue arising from the sale of goods and the rendering of 
services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that 
revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer and establishes a five-step 
model  to  account  for  revenue  arising  from  contracts  with  customers.  The  standard  permits  either  a  full 
retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. 

The  Company  plans  to  adopt  the  new  standard  on  the  required  effective  date  using  the  full  retrospective 
method. There will be no material impact on the Company’s financial position or performance from the adoption 
of this new standard.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the period ended 30 June 2018 

AASB 16 Leases (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019). 

AASB 16 was issued in February 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the statement of 
financial position, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, 
an  asset  (the  right  to  use  the  leased  item)  and  a  financial  liability  to  pay  rentals  are  recognised.  The  only 
exceptions are short-term and low-value leases. 

The accounting for lessors will not significantly change. The Company plans to adopt the new standard on the 
required effective date. The Company continues to assess the potential impact of AASB 16 on its consolidated 
financial statements. 

1(c)    Statement of Compliance 

The financial report was authorised for issue on 29 September 2018. 

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a 
financial  report  containing  relevant  and  reliable  information  about  transactions,  events  and  conditions. 
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply 
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

1(d)    Revenue and other income 

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and 
the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before the 
revenue is recognised. 

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset. 

1(e) 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are 
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

For  the  purposes  of  the  statement  of  cash  flows,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  consist  of  cash  and  cash 
equivalents as described above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. 

1(f)     Trade and other receivables 

Trade  receivables,  which  generally  have  30-90  day  terms,  are  recognised  and  carried  at  original  invoice 
amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there 
is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when 
identified. 

1(g)   

Income Tax 

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be 
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are 
those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. 

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of 
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except when the deferred 
income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business 
combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or 
loss. 

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused 
tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against 
which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses

For the period ended 30 June 2018 

can  be  utilised,  except  when  the  deferred  income  tax  asset  relating  to  the  deductible temporary  difference 
arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, 
at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. 

The  carrying  amount  of  deferred  income  tax  assets  is  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and  reduced  to  the 
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred 
income tax asset to be utilised. 

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the 
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period 
when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted 
or substantively enacted at the reporting date. 

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  deferred  tax  liabilities  are  offset  only  if  a  legally  enforceable  right  exists  to  set  off 
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same 
taxable entity and the same taxation authority. 

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption 
that  no  adverse  change  will  occur  in  income  legislation  and  the  anticipation  that  the  Company  will  derive 
sufficient  future  assessable  income  to  enable  the  benefit  to  be  realised  and  comply  with  the  conditions  of 
deductibility imposed by the law. No deferred tax is recognised in the current period for the carried forward 
losses  as  the  Company  considers  there  will  be  no taxable  profit  to  offset  the  brought forward  tax losses  in 
future. 

1(h)    Other taxes 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: 

• when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority,
in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense
item as applicable; and

•

receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables 
or payables in the statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows 
arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority 
are classified as operating cash flows. 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the 
taxation authority. 

1(i)  Plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. 

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

Plant and equipment  

Motor vehicles   

-  

- 

5 to 10 years 

8 years 

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

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the period ended 30 June 2018 

(i)

Impairment

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting 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 the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to 
the asset. 

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for 
the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use can be estimated to be 
close to its fair value. 

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. 
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

(ii)

Derecognition and disposal

An item of 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  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income in the year the asset is derecognised. 

1(j) 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure 

Exploration and  evaluation  expenditures  in  relation  to each  separate  area  of interest  are  recognised  as  an 
exploration and evaluation asset in the period 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)

(b)

the  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditures  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  successful
development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or

exploration and evaluation activities in the area have not, at the reporting 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 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 amortisation 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.

ACN: 616 795 245 

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the period ended 30 June 2018 

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 periods. 

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. 

1(k) 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. 
If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes 
an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value 
less  costs  to  sell  and its value in  use  and  is  determined  for  an individual  asset,  unless  the  asset  does  not 
generate  cash  inflows  that  are  largely independent  of those  from  other  assets  or  groups  of  assets  and  the 
asset’s value in  use  cannot  be  estimated to  be close to its fair value.  In  such  cases  the  asset  is  tested for 
impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or 
cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired 
and is written down to its recoverable amount. 

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to 
the  asset.  Impairment  losses  relating  to  continuing  operations  are  recognised  in  those  expense  categories 
consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount (in which 
case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease). 

An  assessment  is  also  made  at  each  reporting  date  as  to  whether  there  is  any  indication  that  previously 
recognised  impairment  losses  may  no  longer  exist  or  may  have  decreased.  If  such  indication  exists,  the 
recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been 
a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss 
was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. 
That  increased  amount  cannot  exceed  the  carrying  amount  that  would  have  been  determined,  net  of 
depreciation,  had  no  impairment  loss  been  recognised  for  the  asset  in  prior  periods.  Such  reversal  is 
recognised  in  profit  or loss  unless  the  asset  is  carried  at  a  revalued  amount, in  which  case  the  reversal  is 
treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to 
allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining 
useful life. 

1(l) 

Trade and other payables 

Trade  payables  and  other  payables  are  carried  at  amortised  costs  and  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and 
services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the 
Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. 

1(m)  Leases 

Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company 
as lessee are classified as operating leases (Note 15(b)).   

Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit 
or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Employee benefits 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled 
within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up 
to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

1(o)    Share-based payment transactions 

The Company may provide benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Company in the form of 
share-based  payments,  whereby  employees  render  services  in  exchange  for  shares  or  rights  over  shares 
(equity-settled transactions). 

When provided, the cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the 
fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an 
external valuer using a Black-Scholes model. 

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions 
linked to the price of the shares of the Company (market conditions) if applicable. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over 
the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the 
relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period). 

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date 
reflects  

(i)

(ii)

the extent to which the vesting period has expired, and

the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these 
conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The amount charged or credited to the 
statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  for  a  period  represents  the  movement  in 
cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. 

No  expense  is  recognised  for  awards  that  do  not  ultimately vest,  except  for  awards  where  vesting  is  only 
conditional upon a market condition. 

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms 
had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair 
value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at 
the date of modification. 

If  an  equity-settled  award  is  cancelled, it is  treated  as  if it  had vested  on  the  date  of  cancellation,  and  any 
expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted 
for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled 
and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous 
paragraph. 

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of 
earnings per share.

Issued capital 

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. 

1(q) 

Segment Reporting 

Operating  segments  are  reported  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the  internal  reporting  provided  to  the  chief 
operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and 
assessing  performance  of  the  operating  segments,  has  been  identified  as  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Company. The Company presently operates in one segment being mineral exploration within Australia. 

1(r) 

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the Company, adjusted 
to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the Company, adjusted 
for: 

•

•

•

costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

the after-tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have
been recognised as expenses; and

other  non-discretionary  changes  in  revenues  or  expenses  during  the  period that  would  result from the
dilution  of  potential  ordinary  shares;  divided  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  and
dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

1(s)    Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments 

In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following estimates 
and judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. 

Exploration and evaluation assets 

The  Company’s  accounting  policy  for  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  is  set  out  at  Note  1(j).  The 
application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain judgements and assumptions as 
to future events and circumstances. Any such judgements and assumptions may change as new information 
becomes  available.  If,  after  having  capitalised  expenditure  under  the  policy,  it  is  concluded  that  the 
expenditures are unlikely to be recovered by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount 
will be written off to the statement profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

Share-based payment transactions 

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and directors by reference to 
the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined from 
a Black-Scholes pricing model that incorporates various estimates and assumptions. 

1(t) 

Comparative figures 

The Company was incorporated on 13 January 2017. As the period to 30 June 2017 was the Company’s first 
reporting period, caution should be applied when analysing comparative figures between the 30 June 2017 
and 30 June 2018 reporting periods.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The  Company’s  principal  financial  instruments  comprise  receivables,  payables,  cash  and  short-term 
deposits.  The  Company  manages  its  exposure  to  key  financial  risks  in  accordance  with  the  Company’s 
financial  risk management  policy.  The  objective  of the  policy is  to  support  the  delivery  of the  Company’s 
financial targets while protecting future financial security. 

The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity 
risk. The Company does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. The Company uses different 
methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring 
levels of exposure to interest rates and assessments of market forecasts for interest rates. Ageing analysis 
of and monitoring of receivables are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through the 
development of future rolling cash flow forecasts. 

The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below. 

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews 
and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including for interest rate risk, credit 
allowances and cash flow forecast projections. 

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the 
basis  of measurement  and the  basis  on  which  income  and  expenses  are  recognised,  in  respect  of  each 
class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in note 1 to the financial statements. 

19(a) 

Interest rate risk 

The Company’s exposure to risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s 
cash  balances.  The  Company  constantly  analyses  its  interest  rate  exposure.  Within  this  analysis 
consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing positions and the mix 
of  fixed  and  variable  interest  rates.  As  the  Company  has  no  interest-bearing  borrowings  its  exposure  to 
interest rate movements is limited to the amount of interest income it can potentially earn on surplus cash 
deposits. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the 
reporting date. 

2018 
$ 

2017 
$ 

At the reporting date, the Company had the following financial assets exposed to variable interest rates that 
are not designated in cash flow hedges:

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting 
date. 

At the reporting date, if interest rates had moved as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables 
held  constant,  post-tax  profit  and  equity  relating  to  financial  assets  of  the  Company  would  have  been 
affected as follows: 

Estimates of reasonably possible movements: 
Post tax profit – higher / (lower) 

+0.5%

-0.5%

Equity – higher / (lower)

+0.5%

(7,061) 

7,061 

(7,061)

(461)

(461) 

The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring immediate and forecast cash requirements and ensuring 
adequate cash reserves are maintained. 

19(c)  Credit risk 

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Company, which comprise deposits with banks and trade 
and other receivables. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter 
party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The carrying amounts 
of  financial  assets  included  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  represents  the  Company’s  maximum 
exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets. 

The Company does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. The Company trades only 
with recognised, creditworthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Company’s 
policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. 

Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company does not have a 
significant exposure to bad debts. 

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company. 

All surplus cash holdings  within the Company are currently invested with mainstream Australian financial 
institutions.

19(d)  Capital Management Risk 

Management controls the capital of the Company in order to maximise the return to shareholders and ensure 
that the Company can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. 

Management effectively manages the Company’s capital by assessing the Company’s financial risks and 
adjusting  its  capital  structure  in  response  to  changes  in  these  risks  and  in  the market. These  responses 
include the management of expenditure and debt levels and share and option issues. 

The Company has no external loan debt facilities other than trade payables. There have been no changes 
in the strategy adopted by management to control capital of the Company since the prior period. 

19(e)  Commodity Price and Foreign Currency Risk 

The Company’s exposure to price and currency risk is minimal given the Company is still in the exploration 
phase. 

19(f)  Fair Value 

The  methods  of  estimating  fair  value  are  outlined  in  the  relevant  notes  to  the  financial  statements.  All 
financial assets and liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position, whether they are carried at 
cost or fair value, are recognised at amounts that represent a reasonable approximation of fair values unless 
otherwise stated in the applicable notes. 

20. 

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORTING DATE 

No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial period which significantly affected, 
or may significantly affect, the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of 
affairs  of the  Company  in  subsequent financial  years, other  than  as  outlined in the  Company’s  review  of 
operations which is contained in this Annual Report.
