Managing Directors’ Report 

Dear Fellow Shareholder 

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Company’s Annual Report for the financial year 
ended 30 June 2022 (FY2022).  

FY2022 has been another busy and productive year as we made significant strides in solidifying our strategy of 
becoming the world’s leading end-to-end diamond company. 

The much-anticipated launch of our ultra-luxury diamond brand, Maison Mazerea, was the final building block of 
the Company’s vertically integrated model, which will allow Burgundy to capture the full margins from the 
diamond value chain while completely differentiating the Company’s value proposition.  

Maison Mazerea is the world’s first Haute Diamanterie Maison, inspired by the famous 17th century diamond 
collection bequeathed by Cardinal Jules Mazarin to Louis XIV and the French Crown Jewels, which was the very 
start of the luxury industry in France.  

The launch of Maison Mazerea was celebrated in Paris in July at a function including notable diamond industry 
leaders, high net worth individuals, world leading jewellery designers and global media with further events to 
come in Perth and New York this year.  

Burgundy now has all the pieces in place to rapidly grow our diamond business, from discovery to design, 
delivering greater returns to shareholders.   

Over the financial year we announced collaborative sales and profit-sharing agreements with Bäumer Vendôme in 
Paris and Solid Gold Diamonds in Perth.  These agreements encompassed a profit-sharing arrangement whereby 
Burgundy supplies polished Fancy Diamonds under the Maison Mazerea ultra-luxury brand and the jewellers 
design, manufacture and sell high-end jewellery pieces featuring these stones.  

Burgundy will continue to progress discussions with other high-end design jewellers in establishing collaborative 
sales agreements, as well as developing other routes to retail sales including partnership events with the Princess 
Grace Foundation.  The Princess Grace Foundation has been operating for forty years as a tribute to the legacy of 
Princess Grace of Monaco, with Maison Mazerea proud to be announced as a Crown Patron in June 2022.  

In honour of this collaboration, Burgundy renamed the iconic Fancy Vivid Purplish Pink diamond Argyle Stella™, 
one of the five ‘hero’ stones from the last ever Argyle Pink Diamonds Signature Tender™, as “The Grace 
Diamond”, showcased at the Maison Mazerea launch in Paris. We were delighted to partner with Lorenz Bäumer, 
renowned Place Vendôme designer-jeweller, to create “La Vie en Rose”, an exquisite creation featuring the 
unique beauty of the Grace Diamond. The Vie en Rose will be unveiled at a Princess Grace Foundation event in 
New York in November.  The Grace Diamond is anticipated to generate significant long-term value for the 
Company’s shareholders as the centrepiece of the Burgundy ultra-luxury brand. 

We have, as promised, used some funds from our $50 million capital raise in August 2021 to invest in rough 
diamonds for cutting, polishing and eventual sale through the collaborative agreements with our selected 
jewelers. Our cutting and polishing facilities in Perth have been operating at high capacity polishing these rough 
diamonds and revenue flow from sales is expected to start in FY2023, where we will demonstrate the returns that 
our innovative end-to-end strategy will generate over the years to come.   

Of course, the first step in our strategy, the discovery and mining of rough diamonds still plays an imperative step 
in the Burgundy journey. The bulk sampling at the Naujaat Diamond Project has now been completed with the 
results confirming the presence of a significant population of Fancy Orange and Yellow diamonds.  At the 
Ellendale Diamond Project, ongoing exploration activities are underway including trenching, pitting and drilling 
programs, updated resource models and the completion of a Scoping Study to define development options for 
both Blina and Ellendale projects.  Our state-of-the-art bulk sampling plant was being installed on site at the end

of FY2022 and is now operating in a bulk sampling and trial mining phase as we move to bring the Blina project 
into low levels of commercial production.  In addition, we continue to evaluate a number of other opportunities 
for development of future operations providing a supply of the world’s best Fancy Colour diamonds. 

Burgundy remains confident that our strategy will deliver substantial value to shareholders as we are now set to 
capture margins across the full value chain of rare and valuable Fancy Colour diamonds.  

As COVID-19 continues to impact the world, I wish to reiterate my thanks to our hardworking and dedicated 
team, who have delivered outstanding results in the face of ongoing challenges. I wish to extend my thanks to the 
Burgundy Board for their support and commitment as we complete the transition from diamond explorer to a 
fully integrated operating diamond business.  

I also take this opportunity to thank our loyal shareholders for their ongoing support, we look forward to sharing 
our success with you in FY2023. 

Peter Ravenscroft 
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Review of Operations 

Exploration and Development 

Ellendale Diamond Project 

On 22 March 2021 Burgundy announced the signing of an Option Deed with Gibb River Diamonds Ltd (ASX: GIB; “Gibb 
River”) to acquire 100% ownership of the Ellendale and Blina projects (together the “Ellendale Diamond Project”) in 
the West Kimberley region of Western Australia.

The acquisition of the Ellendale Diamond Project includes all tenements pegged by Gibb River in 2019 over the historic 
Ellendale diamond mine, famed for its production of iconic yellow diamonds, as well as the highly prospective Blina 
alluvial diamond deposit to the north-west of the Ellendale properties. 

The total tenement package being acquired under the current option agreement is shown in Figure 1, comprising a 
number  of  mining  leases,  applications  for  the  grant  of  certain  tenements,  exploration  licences  and  miscellaneous 
licenses that cover all of the prospective ground in the Ellendale and Blina project areas.   

Figure 1 - Location of Ellendale Diamond Project Tenements 

Developing the Ellendale Diamond Project in Western Australia is a core part of the Company’s strategy of securing 
sources of Fancy Colour rough diamonds and the Company made the second payment due under Option Deed to 
secure 100% of the Project in March 2022.  

On 20 January 2022, the WA Premier announced an indefinite delay to the reopening of the WA border, initially 
planned for 5 February 2022.  This decision severely impacted the timing for the delivery to site and commissioning 
of the bulk sampling plant and also the sampling program that was planned to start in the June 2022 quarter. 
Despite the impact of COVID site activity had progressed well and fauna clearance surveys, road sheeting and 
installation of a 16-person camp were completed on schedule. 

Site operations re-commenced following the opening of the WA borders in March 2022 and the bulk sample plant 
was delivered to site in June 2022. The plant is now in the final stages of commissioning and the bulk sampling 
program is expected to commence in September 2022. 

In addition to the commencement of the bulk sampling program, exploration activities planned for the next six 
months include further trenching, pitting and drilling programs, in order to update resource models and to complete 
a Scoping Study to define development options for the Blina and Ellendale projects.  

Naujaat 

The Company is progressing an earn-in agreement with North Arrow Minerals Inc. over the Naujaat diamond project 
in Nunavut, Canada (Figure 2).  The world class Naujaat project contains an exceptional population of uniquely 
coloured and rare high value stones. Burgundy will earn-in to a 40% interest in the project by funding the Phase 1

A n n u a l   R e p o r t   |   Y e a r   E n d e d   3 0   J u n e   2 0 2 2  

sampling program: an approximately 2,000 tonne bulk sample, which was collected in August 2021. Burgundy has 
also made a preliminary proposal to earn an additional 20% interest by funding a larger 10,000 tonne Phase 2 bulk 
sample, pending positive results from the first phase. 

Figure 2 – Location of Naujaat Project 

During the December quarter the bulk sample was shipped from Naujaat to Saskatchewan via Montreal, where 
processing and diamond recovery commenced.  In April 2022, diamond recovery was completed for 70% of the 
2,000-tonne bulk sample, confirming the presence of a potentially high value, Fancy Orange and Yellow diamonds.  

Diamond recovery for the remaining 30% of the sample was completed in July 2022 and provided further support to 
the encouraging indications from the initial sample tested. The results are now being combined in a complete 
analysis of the bulk sample and further analysis is underway to fully understand the implications of these results. 

On completion of the bulk sampling program, Burgundy will assume 40% ownership of the Naujaat Project under the 
terms of an earn-in option agreement with North Arrow Minerals. 

Other Exploration Projects 

The Company has an Exploration Alliance Agreement in Botswana with Diamond Exploration Strategies Ltd (“DES”), a 
privately-owned company with an experienced management team. Burgundy is providing funding of up to US$1.5 
million over three years to finance exploration activities, earning 50% ownership of any discoveries made, with 
options to earn-in up to 70% by completing a Scoping Study or 90% on completion of a Feasibility Study.   The 
Company’s multi-target program continues across prospective ground with the assessment of various alluvial 
targets. There were no positive discoveries reported during the financial year and the Company is assessing its 
options for the final year of the agreement. 

Burgundy holds an 18% interest in the La Victoria Gold/Silver Project, located in the prolific North-Central Mineral 
Belt of Peru  which it acquired through earn-in arrangements starting in 2017 and is able, pursuant to a 2018 option 
agreement, to increase this interest to 25% by expending a further C$1.4 million, subject to the receipt of all 
permitting. Burgundy has participated in limited exploration activity during the year and has advised Eloro that, at 
this time, it has no intention of exercising its option to increase its interest.

Nanuk Diamonds Inc is a 100% subsidiary of Burgundy and is the owner of 625 mineral claims located East of the 
Ungava Bay in Northern Quebec, a prospective diamond district that has received little attention over the last 15 
years. There is no on-site activity currently planned for the Nanuk Project. 

Sales and Marketing 

During the period, the Company made significant progress evolving its strategy into downstream operations in the 
high-value Fancy Colour Diamonds sector. 

Cutting and Polishing 

In September 2021, the Company leased purpose built high security premises in Perth WA, specifically designed for 
downstream diamond operations and equipment was secured for valuing, cutting, polishing and grading diamonds. 
Additionally, the Company recruited a team of specialised cutting, polishing and grading professionals with 
significant Fancy Coloured diamond experience as well as other capabilities critical to the coordination, control and 
security of a production stream of high-value Fancy Colour diamonds. 

The cutting and polishing facilities in Perth have operated at high capacity during the year, refining third-party rough 
diamonds purchased in 2021 and 2022, with initial cashflow from sales of these polished stones anticipated in the 
forthcoming financial year. 

Branding 

Burgundy’s new ultra-luxury diamond brand, Maison Mazerea, was officially launched in Paris on 1 July 2022.  The 
event also featured the first public appearance of the newly named Grace Diamond, purchased in November 2021, 
one of the rarest pink diamonds in the world, soon to be unveiled in a jewellery creation by renowned Place 
Vendôme designer, Lorenz Bäumer. 

Specialising in the rarest Fancy Colour diamonds of irreproachable provenance, Maison Mazerea is the world’s first 
Haute Diamanterie Maison, and has been inspired by the famous 17th century diamond collection bequeathed by 
Cardinal Jules Mazarin to Louis XIV and the French Crown Jewels. 

The Company is progressing plans for further global launch events to take place later this year, including events in 
Australia and the USA, which are intended to incorporate a significant sales component. 

Collaborative Sales Agreements 

On 8 December 2021, the Company announced it had signed a Collaborative Sales Agreement with leading Paris 
design jeweller Bäumer Vendôme. The agreement encompassed a profit-sharing agreement whereby Burgundy 
supplies polished Fancy Diamonds under its unique ultra-luxury brand; and Bäumer Vendôme designs, manufactures 
and sells high-end jewellery pieces featuring these stones.  

On 3 August 2022, the Company announced it had entered into a second agreement with Solid Gold Diamonds, one 
of Australia’s leading independent jewellers headquartered in Burgundy’s hometown of Perth, Western Australia. 
The agreement comprises two stages, stage one is an initial agreement regarding bridal jewellery, which commenced 
in August 2022 presenting uniquely cut Maison Mazerea branded diamonds in Solid Gold’s engagement and bridal 
jewellery designs, with a profit-sharing agreement on all sales.  Stage two is a collaboration between Burgundy and 
Solid Gold on the design and production of an exclusive fine jewellery collection featuring larger and higher value 
Maison Mazerea diamonds, with sales expected to commence at a debut of the collection in October 2022.   

Corporate

Impact of COVID-19 

The  Ellendale  Diamond  Project  has  been  negatively  impacted  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  The  WA  Premier’s 
announcement on 20 January of an indefinite delay to the reopening of the WA border, initially planned for 5 February 
2022, impacted the timing of the delivery and commissioning of the bulk sampling plant and delayed the sampling 
program that was planned to start in the June 2022 quarter.  In addition, the Ellendale Project has been negatively 
impacted by shortages of skilled labour. The impact of the pandemic is ongoing and it is not practicable to estimate 
the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent 
on  measures  imposed  by  the  Australian  Government  and  other  countries,  such  as  maintaining  social  distancing 
requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. 

Results of Operations 

The net loss of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2022 was $19,710,027 (2021: $12,118,039). The loss reflects 
the development stage of the Company and arises primarily from exploration expenditure.

Voting and comments made at the Company's 2021 Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) 

At the 2021 AGM, 99.98% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year 
ended 30 June 2021. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration 
practices. 

Remuneration Philosophy 

KMP have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company. During 
the financial year, KMP of the Company comprise the Board of Directors and the Managing Director/Chief Executive 
Officer. 

The Company’s broad remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s 
duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the 
highest quality.  

No remuneration consultants were employed during the financial year. 

Remuneration Governance, Structure and Approvals 

Remuneration of Directors is currently set by the Board. The nature and amount of remuneration is collectively 
considered by the Board with reference to relevant employment conditions and fees commensurate to a company of 
similar size and level of activity, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the 
retention of high performing Directors. 

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is primarily responsible for: 

•  The over-arching executive remuneration framework; 
•  Operation of the incentive plans which apply to executive directors and senior executives, including key 

performance indicators and performance hurdles; 

•  Remuneration levels of executives; and 
•  Non-Executive Director fees. 

Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the 
long-term interests of the Company.

Non-Executive Remuneration Structure 

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors consists of Directors’ fees (plus statutory superannuation), payable in 
arrears. The current maximum total aggregate fixed sum per annum that may be paid to Non-Executive Directors in 
accordance with the Company’s Constitution is $350,000 which may be varied by ordinary resolution of the 
Shareholders in a General Meeting.  

Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is based on fees approved by the Board of Directors and is set at levels to 
reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the Directors. In accordance with the Company’s 
Constitution, the Directors may at any time, subject to the Listing Rules, adopt any scheme or plan which they 
consider to be in the interests of the Company and which is designed to provide superannuation benefits for both 
present and future Non-Executive Directors, and they may from time to time vary this scheme or plan.  

Remuneration may also include an invitation to participate in share-based incentive programmes in accordance with 
Company policy. 

Executive Remuneration Structure 

The nature and amount of remuneration of executives are assessed on a periodic basis with the overall objective of 
ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of high-performance individuals. 

The main objectives sought when reviewing executive remuneration is that the Company has: 

•  Coherent remuneration policies and practices to attract and retain Executives; 
•  Executives who will create value for shareholders; 
•  Competitive remuneration offered benchmarked against the external market; and 
•  Fair and responsible rewards to Executives having regard to the performance of the Company, the 

performance of the Executives and the general pay environment.  

Relationship between Remuneration and Company Performance 

Given the current phase of the Company’s development, the Board does not consider corporate earnings to be an 
appropriate measure when determining the nature and amount of KMP remuneration. 

The remuneration framework for KMP comprises fixed remuneration, and at risk components comprising short-term 
and long-term variable incentives that are determined by individual and Company performance. 

Fixed Remuneration 

Fixed remuneration consists of fixed contractual salary or fees, legislated employer contributions to superannuation 
funds and other employee benefits. 

The fixed remuneration for each senior executive is influenced by the nature and responsibilities of each role and 
knowledge, skills and experience required for each position. Fixed remuneration provides a base level of 
remuneration which is market competitive and comprises a base salary and statutory superannuation. It is 
structured as a total employment cost package. 

KMP are offered a competitive base salary that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. External 
remuneration consultants may provide analysis and advice to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market for a 
comparable role. No external advice was taken this year. Base salary is reviewed annually to ensure the executives’ 
pay is competitive with the market. The remuneration of KMP is also reviewed on promotion. There is no guaranteed 
pay increase included in any KMP’s contract. 

Short -Term Incentives (“STI”) 
Short term incentives such as cash incentives may be awarded and are determined based on performance targets 
established by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and take into consideration performance metrics such 
as the Company’s performance, an individual employee’s performance, and the individual employee’s contribution 
to the Company’s performance.

Long-Term Incentives (“LTI”) 
Options may be issued at the Board’s discretion. The Board is of the opinion that the expiry date and exercise price 
of the options currently on issue to the Directors and Executives is a sufficient, long-term incentive to reward 
Directors and Executives in a manner which aligns the element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder 
wealth.

Non-Audit Services 

The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the 
auditor’s expertise and experience with the Company are important. 

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor 
are outlined in Note 25 to the financial statements.  

The Board of Directors has considered the position and is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is 
compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The 
Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditors, as set out below, did not compromise 
the auditor independent requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 

• 

All non-audit services have been reviewed by the Board of Directors to ensure they do not impact the 
impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and 

•  None of the services undermine the general principles relating to the auditor independence as set out in APES 

110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants. 

This report is signed in accordance with a resolution of Board of Directors.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

NOTE 1 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Reporting Entity 

Burgundy Diamond Mines Limited (“Company”) is a company limited by shares and domiciled in Australia. The 
consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2022 comprise the 
Company and its subsidiaries. 

Basis of Preparation 

Statement of compliance 
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board 
(“IASB”). Burgundy Diamond Mines Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial 
statements. 

The annual report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 15 September 2022.  

Basis of measurement 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the 
historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated. 

Significant Judgements and Estimates 
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. 
The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are 
significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 2. 

Comparatives 
Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in 
presentation for the current financial year. 

Parent entity information 
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated 
entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 26. 

New, revised or amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Company 
The Company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early 
adopted. 

Principles of Consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Burgundy 
Diamond Mines Limited as at 30 June 2022 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Burgundy 
Diamond Mines Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the consolidated 
entity. 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the consolidated entity has the power 
to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of 
the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible 
are considered when assessing whether the consolidated entity controls another entity. 

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They 
are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

N O T E S   T O   T H E  C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S   |   2 8  

 
 
 
A n n u a l   R e p o r t   |   Y e a r   E n d e d   3 0   J u n e   2 0 2 2  

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between consolidated entity 
companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the 
impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to 
ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity. 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the consolidated entity. A 
change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the 
difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest 
acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. 

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of 
financial position respectively. 

Foreign Currency Translation 
Functional and presentation currency 
Items included in the financial statements of each of the consolidated entity’s entities are measured using the 
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The 
consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Burgundy Diamond Mines Limited’s 
functional and presentation currency. 

Transactions and balances 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at 
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such 
transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated 
in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. 

Consolidated entity companies 
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary 
economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the 
presentation currency as follows: 
• 

Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position account presented are translated at the closing 
rate at the date of that statement of financial position;  

• 

• 

Income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income account are 
translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect 
of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the 
dates of the transactions); and 

All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign 
currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. 

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and 
of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other 
comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment 
are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale. 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure 
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is expensed at the end of the reporting period unless it relates to 
a project that the Company has determined economically viable in which case it is carried forward to the extent 
that it is expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area, or by its sale.   

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the 
decision to abandon the area is made.

Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits  
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected 
to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid 
when the liabilities are settled. 

Defined contribution superannuation expense  
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are 
incurred. 

Current and Non-Current classification 

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current 
classification. 

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in 
the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be 
realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from 
being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are 
classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal 
operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the 
reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months 
after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. 

Dividends 

Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company. 

NOTE 2 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its 
judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. 
Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various 
factors, including expectations of future events management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. 
The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts 
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. 

Net realisable value of inventories 
The key assumptions, which require the use of management judgement, are the variables affecting costs 
recognised in bringing the inventory to their location and condition for sale, estimated costs to sell and the 
expected selling price. These key assumptions are reviewed at least annually.  

Share based payments 
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair 
value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using an 
appropriate valuation 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 have4 
no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may 
impact profit or loss and equity. 

Estimation of useful lives of assets 
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges 
for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as

a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase 
where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that 
have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

The Company derives future assessable income in Australia of a nature and of an amount sufficient to 
enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised; 
The Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation in 
Australia; and 
There are no changes in tax legislation in Australia which will adversely affect the Company in 
realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses. 

At 30 June 2022, there is no recognised or unrecognised deferred income tax liability for taxes that would be 
payable on the unremitted earnings of certain of the Company’s subsidiary as the Company has no liability for 
additional taxation should such amounts be remitted. 

Accounting Policy 
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax 
expense (income). 

Current Tax 
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using 
applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period.  Current tax 
liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant 
taxation authority.

Deferred Tax 
Deferred tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year 
as well unused tax losses. 

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit 
or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases 
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result 
where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be 
recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no 
effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated 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 enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the 
reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle 
the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. 

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that 
it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be 
utilised. 

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint 
ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary 
difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. 

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that 
net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred 
tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and 
liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or 
different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of 
the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or 
liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. 

NOTE 7  

LOSS PER SHARE 

Basic loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing net loss for the year attributable to ordinary equity 
holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. 

Diluted loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of 
the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary 
shares into ordinary shares.

Options on issue are not considered dilutive to the earnings per share because the Company is in a loss making 
position. 

Accounting Policy 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing: 

•  The profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than 

ordinary shares; and 

•  By the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for 

bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares. 

Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into 
account: 

•  The after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential 

ordinary shares; and 

•  The weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming 

the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The consolidated entity has recognised a loss of $nil in profit or loss in respect of the expected credit losses for 
the year ended 30 June 2022. 

Accounting Policy 

Trade and Other Receivables 
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for 
settlement within 30 days. 

The Company has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime 
expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on 
days overdue. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. 

Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as 
part of the cost of acquisition of the asset of the assets or part of the expense.  

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the 
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. 

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST on investing and 
financial activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 

Impairment of Assets 
Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs 
to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for 
which they are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other 
assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered 
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Accounting Policy 

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 
'first in first out' basis. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and other 
taxes, an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity, 
and,  where  applicable,  transfers  from  cash  flow  hedging  reserves  in  equity.  Costs  of  purchased  inventory  are 
determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Stock in transit is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, 
net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of 
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Accounting Policy 

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost 
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and 
equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Class of fixed asset 

Depreciation rate 

Computer equipment  

Polishing equipment 

Motor vehicle 

3 years 

4-10 years 

3 years 

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each 
reporting date. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic 
benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are 
taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to 
retained profits

Accounting Policy 

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at 
cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments 
made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, 
and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for 
dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the 
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain 
ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-
of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for 
short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets 
are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

Accounting Policy

the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of 
recognition.

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the 
present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate 
implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing 
rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments 
that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of 
a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination 
penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in 
which they are incurred. 

Lease  liabilities  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method.  The  carrying  amounts  are 
remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate

used;  residual  guarantee;  lease  term;  certainty  of  a  purchase  option  and  termination  penalties.  When  a  lease 
liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the 
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected 
to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid 
when the liabilities are settled. 

The current provision for employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have 
completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in 
certain circumstances. The entire amount is presented as current, since the consolidated entity does not have an 
unconditional right to defer settlement and the consolidated entity expects all employees to take the full amount 
of accrued leave within 12 months. 

NOTE 16 

BORROWINGS 

The Company issued 35,000,000 6% convertible notes for $35,000,000 on 16 September 2021. The notes are 
convertible into ordinary shares of the Company, at the option of the holder, or repayable on 16 September 2024. 
If a note holder elects to convert all or part of its convertible notes, the minimum number of notes that may be 
converted is 250,000. The number of shares that will be issued on conversion is equivalent to the principal 
amount of notes converted divided by the fixed conversion price of $0.264 per share.

Accounting Policy 

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction 
costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The component of 
the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement of 
financial position, net of transaction costs. 

On the issue of the convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate 
for an equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a non-current liability on the amortised cost 
basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the passage of time is 
recognised as a finance cost. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option that is 
recognised and included in shareholders equity as a convertible note reserve, net of transaction costs. The 
carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in the subsequent years. The corresponding interest 
on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.

The provision represents the present value of the estimated costs to make good the premises leased by the 
consolidated entity at the end of the respective lease terms. 

Accounting Policy 

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result 
of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable 
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate 
of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks 
and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted 
using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of 
time is recognised as a finance cost.

Accounting Policy 

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. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the 
acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. 

If the Company reacquires its own equity instruments, for example as a result of a share buy-back, those 
instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the 
profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income 
taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

NOTE 20 

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT  

Financial Risk Management Objectives 

Risk management has focused on limiting liabilities to a level which could be extinguished by sale of assets if 
necessary. 

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (including interest rate risk, equity 
price risk, commodity price risk and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk 
management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential 
adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company. The Company is engaged in mineral exploration 
and evaluation and does not currently sell products and derives only limited revenue from interest earned. 

Risk management is carried out by the Board and the Company has adopted a formal risk management policy.  

Accounting classifications and fair values 

Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables are short-term in nature 
and their carrying values equate to their fair values. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive 

N O T E S   T O   T H E  C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S   |   4 5

income that comprise equity securities in listed entities are classified as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy and are 
carried at the quoted price of the equity securities at the period end date. 

Market risk 

Interest rate risk  
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on floating interest rates on term deposits of cash and cash equivalents only. 
The Company has no variable interest rate debt arrangements and interest rate risk is not material. 

Equity Price risk 
The Company is not exposed to equity risk.   

Commodity Price risk 
The Company is not exposed to commodity price risk. 

Foreign currency risk 
Exposure to foreign currency risk may result in the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument to 
fluctuate due to the movement in the foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Company holds financial 
instruments which are other than Australian dollar. 

With instruments being held by overseas operations, fluctuations in currencies may impact on the Company’s 
financial results.  Since the Company has not yet commenced mining operations, the exposure is limited to short-
term liabilities for expenses which are payable in foreign currencies.  The Company limits its foreign currency risk 
by limiting funds held in overseas bank accounts and paying its creditors promptly.  The Board regularly reviews 
this exposure. 

Credit risk 

Credit exposure represents the extent of credit related losses that the Company may be subject to on amounts to 
be received from financial assets.  Credit risk arises principally from bank balances and trade and other 
receivables.  The objective of the Company is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk. The Company’s 
exposure to bad debt risk is insignificant.   

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or 
otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. 

The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring 
sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the 
Company. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration and development, the 
Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity .The 
Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Company’s current and 
future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.  Any surplus funds 
are invested with major financial institutions.  

The financial liabilities of the Company comprise trade and other payables and convertible notes as disclosed in 
the statement of financial position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 30 days 
of the reporting date. 

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.

On 16 September 2021, the Company issued 35,000,000 convertible notes with a face value of $1 to raise   
$35,000,000. The notes are convertible into ordinary shares of the Company, at the option of the holder, or 
repayable on 16 September 2024. If a note holder elects to convert all or part of its convertible notes, the 
minimum number of notes that may be converted is 250,000. The number of shares that will be issued on 
conversion is equivalent to the principal amount of notes converted divided by the fixed conversion price of 
$0.264 per share.  

Capital risk management 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to: 

• 

• 

Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for 
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and 
Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the number of dividends paid to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

Given the stage of the Company’s development there are no formal targets set for return on capital. There were 
no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to 
externally imposed capital requirements. The net equity of the Company is equivalent to capital. Net capital is 
obtained through capital raisings on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”). 

Accounting Policy 

Investments and other financial assets 
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part 
of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are 
subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is 
determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow 
characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided. 

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred 
and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no 
reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are 
classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) 
held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making

a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements 
are recognised in profit or loss. 

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income 
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the 
consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such 
upon initial recognition. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either 
measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss 
allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether 
the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and 
supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain. 

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month 
expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses 
that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has 
become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is 
based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured 
on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument 
discounted at the original effective interest rate. 

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance 
is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other 
cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.

of $1. The notes are convertible into ordinary shares of the Company, at the option of the holder, or repayable on 
16 September 2024. The number of shares that will be issued on conversion is equivalent to the principal amount 
of notes converted divided by the fixed conversion price of $0.264 per share. The interest rate is 6% per annum 
and during the year, interest of $224,384 was paid to Mr O’Keeffe. At 30 June 2022, accrued interest payable due

Accounting Policy 
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to KMP and employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in 
exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, 
where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently 
determined using an appropriate valuation model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the 
option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, 
the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting 
conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the 
employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.  

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over 
the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the 
award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting 
period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each 
reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods. 

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying 
an appropriate valuation model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was 
granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows: 

•  During the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date 

multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period. 

•  From the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the 

liability at the reporting date. 

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash 
paid to settle the liability. 

N O T E S   T O   T H E  C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S   |   5 1  

 
 
 
 
A n n u a l   R e p o r t   |   Y e a r   E n d e d   3 0   J u n e   2 0 2 2  

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market 
conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all 
other conditions are satisfied. 

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been 
made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases 
the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. 

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the 
condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or 
employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over 
the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. 

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any 
remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, 
the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification. 

NOTE 23 

COMMITMENTS 

In June 2020, the Company entered into an Exploration Alliance Agreement (“Alliance”) with Diamond Exploration 
Strategies Ltd (“DES”), a privately owned company focused on diamond exploration in Botswana. Under the terms 
of the Alliance, BDM will provide funding of up to US$1,5 million over three years to finance exploration activities, 
earning 50% ownership of any discoveries made. At 30 June 2022, the remaining commitment is up to US$68,000 
million. 

On 2 June 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into an Option Agreement with North Arrow 
Minerals Inc (TSXV: NAR) over the Naujaat Diamond Project (Project) in the Nunavut territory of Canada. The 
agreement provides Burgundy with the option to earn a 40% interest in the Project in return for funding of 
CAD$5.6 million for a preliminary bulk sample of 1,500 – 2,000 tonnes. At 30 June 2022, the Company’s has met 
its funding commitment of CAD$5.6 million and the process for issuing the completion certificate to confirm the 
Company’s 40% interest is underway. 

NOTE 24 

CONTINGENCIES 

All purchases in Peru are subject to the payment of the Impuesto General a las Ventas (“IGV”) which is a General 
Sales Tax. Eloro Resources Ltd is entitled to claim back the IGV tax it has paid on all Peruvian purchases which, if 
successfully claimed, can then be recovered by BDM.  As at 30 June 2021, the potential IGV tax receivable is 
approximately US$363,086 (2021: US$354,155). A receivable has not been recognised at 30 June 2022 as receipt 
of the amount is dependent upon Eloro and the Company meeting the IGV required refund and the assessment of 
the relevant taxation authorities in Peru.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF  
BURGUNDY DIAMOND MINES LIMITED 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Burgundy Diamond Mines Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the 
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and 
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including 
a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including:  

(i) 

Giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group's  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2022  and  of  its  financial 
performance for the year then ended; and 

(ii) 

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  Our  responsibilities  under  those 
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of 
our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial 
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to 
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's 
report. 

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our 
opinion.

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial 
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Measurement and classification for convertible notes  
Refer to Statement of Financial Position and Note 16. 
The  Company  issued  convertible  notes  raising 
$35,000,000 on 16 September 2021. The notes are 
convertible into ordinary shares of the Company, at 
the  option  of  the  holder,  or  repayable  on  16 
September 2024.  

Our audit procedures included: 

•  Assessing  the  Company's  accounting  policy  for 
compliance with Australian Accounting Standards;  
•  On a sample basis, vouching the proceeds from the 
supporting 
convertible  notes 

to 

issue  of 
documentation;

Other Information  

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the financial report and the 
auditor's report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal 
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as 
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.  

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  as  a  whole  is  free  from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A  further  description  of  our  responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  is  located  at  the  Auditing  and 
Assurance  Standards  Board  website  at:  https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf.  This
