Chairman's Report
Dear Fellow Shareholder
On behalf of your Board of Directors, I am pleased
to present the ninth Annual Report to shareholders
of Canterbury Resources Limited.
The financial year to 30 June 2020 has been both
exciting and turbulent. During the period we have
made pleasing progress on multiple fronts and
have further enriched our asset portfolio. However,
we have also been impacted by the COVID-19
pandemic temporarily disrupting field activities.
An important achievement was a successful drilling
campaign at the Briggs copper prospect
in
Queensland where broad, low-grade intervals of
copper mineralisation were encountered. The
program focussed on the Central Porphyry zone
and culminated in the estimation of an initial
Mineral Resource of 142.8Mt at 0.29% copper.
Planning of follow-up drilling, aimed at substantially
increasing resources, is well advanced. Targets
include strong zones of copper mineralisation
evident on the eastern margin of the Central
Porphyry and scout drilling of strike extensions into
the Northern and Southern porphyry systems,

porphyry related copper-gold mineralisation. A
high-grade result of 18.0m at 6.23g/t Au, 13.0g/t Ag
and 0.18% Cu from 164m down hole was recorded
in EK004. This result is in a shear zone that hosts

program is in progress.
At the Bismarck Project in PNG, joint venture
partner Rio Tinto has been sole-funding and
exploring buried copper-gold porphyry targets.
Technical challenges during the recent drilling
program have led to a reprioritisation of targets
and consideration of alternative operating
structures, which is ongoing.

Canterbury’s application area includes the Idzan
Creek and Wamum deposits where substantial
copper-gold mineralisation has been broadly
delineated by historic explorers and Canterbury
has used this data to generate initial Mineral
Resource estimates containing 2.7Moz gold and
569kt copper – dramatically boosting
the
Company’s resource inventory. An infill and strike
extension program is proposed at Idzan Creek
once the tenement is granted.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my
fellow Directors and consultants who have worked
diligently on the Company’s activities over the past
year, as well as our wide range of stakeholders
including landowners and joint venture partners.
We look forward to achieving further progress in
2021, once our field activities are fully reactivated.
On behalf of your Board I would like to thank all
shareholders for their support, and I look forward to
reporting the results of our exploration activities
over the coming year.
Yours sincerely,
John Anderson
Chairman

Annual Report 2020
Review of Operations
INTRODUCTION
Canterbury is a junior resource company that explores potential large-scale copper-gold projects in proven
mineral belts throughout the southwest Pacific region. Since our formation in 2013 we have generated an
exciting portfolio of porphyry copper-gold and epithermal gold-silver projects in Papua New Guinea, eastern
Australia and Vanuatu.
Following our successful IPO on the ASX in early 2019 (ASX: CBY) we have undertaken drilling programs at
several projects, with an early highlight being the delineation of a significant Mineral Resource at the Briggs
copper project in Queensland. In parallel, we have continued to enhance our asset portfolio, adding
tenements when strategic opportunities arise. This has included a tenement covering the Wamum and Idzan
Creek deposits in PNG where large gold-copper resources have been broadly outlined by historic explorers.
While COVID-19 has constrained the ability to undertake field programs in 2020, we look forward to
recommencing high-impact drill programs in 2021.

Briggs, Mannersley & Fig Tree Hill Projects (CBY 100%)
The Briggs, Mannersley and Fig Tree Hill tenements (CBY 100%) are in central Queensland, inland from
Gladstone, at the southern end of the northwest-southeast trending Mt Morgan structural belt. Mt Morgan was
a high-grade mining operation and produced around 8Moz of gold and 350,000t of copper before its closure
in 1989. The potential to delineate an economic project in this region is also enhanced by its accessibility to
critical infrastructure, including power, transport, industrial services and skilled labour.

Higher grade features are evident in the Briggs deposit and will be tested in future infill and extension drilling
programs. Major targets, with potential to host substantial additional copper mineralisation, include a putative
high-grade core of the system at depth, strong zones of copper mineralisation in the contact zone between
the granodiorite porphyry and volcanoclastic units on both the eastern and western margins of the system,
high-grade mineralization within and adjacent to quartz zones in the granodiorite porphyry, and Northern and
Southern porphyry systems immediately along strike of the Central Porphyry where widespread copper
mineralization has been encountered in sparse historic drilling.

Ekuti Range Project (CBY 100%)
The Ekuti Range Project in Morobe Province is in a well-endowed metallogenic belt that hosts world class
epithermal and porphyry style deposits, including Harmony Gold’s Hidden Valley gold mine (FY20 production
~157koz gold) and the Newcrest/Harmony Gold’s Wafi-Golpu project (2019 Mineral Resources 26Moz gold,
8.6Mt copper). The tenements are ~20km southwest of the regional towns of Wau and Bulolo, and ~80km
southwest of the port city of Lae. The Menyamya Road, which links to Lae, crosses the northwestern portion of
the tenements.
Canterbury has been exploring at the Ekuti Range Project since 2014 and has undertaken multiple programs,
covering mapping, sampling, petrology, geophysical interpretation and drilling. Two related styles of
mineralisation are evident within the tenements; narrow, high grade epithermal gold-copper lodes (e.g.
Otibanda) and large-scale porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold systems (e.g. Ekoato, Yalua).
During 2019 Canterbury completed a scout drilling program at Ekoato with encouraging results. EK004
intersected 18.0m at 6.23g/t Au, 13.0g/t Ag and 0.18% Cu in a structural feature that appears to link to
artisanal gold workings at surface. These structures are interpreted to represent conduits for mineralising fluids
emanating from a putative buried intrusive.

Annual Report 2020
Review of Operations
The high-grade nature of the mineralisation encountered and the observed down-hole geology provide
strong evidence of a fertile copper-gold porphyry mineralisation system.
Planning of the next phase of exploration continues
and will consider further drilling at both Ekoato and
Otibanda, plus scout drilling at the Yalua prospect
where a broad 1km2 soil geochemical anomaly
(copper and molybdenum)
is coincident with
quartz sulphide (pyrite and chalcopyrite) stockwork
intrusion and a
veins, an outcropping dioritic
magnetic anomaly.

Wamum Project (CBY 100%)
known copper-gold porphyry
In early 2020 Canterbury lodged an application
over
related
mineralisation systems northwest of the major Wafi-
Golpu Project in Morobe Province. This further
strengthens the Company’s interests in the region.
Early work by Canterbury, utilising data from historic
drilling, has demonstrated the existence of two
large, coherent copper-gold deposits at Idzan
Creek and Wamum. Inferred Mineral Resource
estimates have been completed containing a
combined 2.6 Moz gold and 569kt copper.
The Mineral Resource estimate for Idzan Creek is
103.6Mt at 0.65g/t Au & 0.28% Cu (at a 0.3g/t Au
cut-off) and at Wamum is 96.3Mt at 0.15g/t Au &
0.29% Cu (at a 0.2% Cu cut-off).
Once the tenement is granted a program of infill
and extension drilling will be completed to further
define and extend the Idzan Creek resource.
▲
Ipi River Project (CBY 100%)
The Ipi River Project, located 150km north-northwest of Port Moresby, contains multiple historical porphyry
copper-gold and epithermal gold-silver prospects, including the Ipi River porphyry copper-gold prospect
where limited historical drilling has demonstrated the existence of a fertile porphyry copper-gold system.
▲
Bismarck Project (CBY 40%, Rio Tinto 60%)
The Bismarck Project covers a large porphyry copper and gold province on central Manus Island, PNG. Rio
Tinto Exploration (PNG) Limited is currently managing and sole-funding exploration under a Farm-In and Joint
Venture Agreement.
Manus Island has undergone extensive exploration over the past 50 years, although an economic deposit is
yet to be discovered. Recent efforts have focused on areas of extensive lithocap in the south of the Bismarck
Project area, where buried porphyry systems and potential late stage metal-rich ore zones are targeted.
Drilling by Rio Tinto was testing several copper-gold targets. However, the program was terminated
prematurely after encountering adverse ground conditions and unsatisfactory progress. Review of the drilling
approach is ongoing, along with consideration of alternate operating structures.

VANUATU
▲
Santo Projects (CBY 100%)
Vanuatu has been subjected to sporadic historical exploration, which has recognized widespread epithermal
gold-silver and porphyry copper-gold mineralization. On Espiritu Santo, the geology, structural setting and
styles of mineralisation are regarded as being analogous to the gold and base metal deposits of the Hauraki
province in New Zealand, which have supported gold-silver-base metal production since the mid-1800s and
have produced more than 10Moz gold.
During FY20 Canterbury completed surface mapping and sampling at the Tafuse prospect, confirming
epithermal style gold-silver-basemetal mineralisation within an 800m by 250m alteration envelope within
volcanics that are intensely hydrofractured and argillically altered.
OUTLOOK
Canterbury is continuing to build a broad portfolio of potential large-scale copper-gold projects in proven
mineral belts throughout the southwest Pacific region. Our strategy involves selectively and opportunistically
acquiring projects in favorable settings and steadily advancing them towards the high impact drill testing
phase – at which point we introduce joint venture partners in order to defray risk and cost.
The current COVID-19 environment has constrained field activities in 2020. Nevertheless, high-impact drilling
programs have been generated at Idzan Creek, Briggs, Bismarck and Ekuti Range, and the Company has
commenced discussions with potential joint venture partners to support the next phase of activity. We look
forward to implementing a series of significant drilling programs in 2021 and beyond. In parallel, field
assessment is resuming at our earlier stage projects, with the aim of generating additional drill targets.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 2020
Canterbury is committed to implementing high standards of corporate governance. The Board of Directors is
responsible for corporate governance, and has the authority to determine, all matters relating to the strategic
direction, policies, practices, management goals and operations of Canterbury. It also monitors the business
and affairs of Canterbury on behalf of the Shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are
accountable. The responsibilities of the Board are set down in Canterbury’s Board Charter, which is available

The ASX Recommendations are guidelines, not prescriptions. During the financial year 2019-2020, the
Corporate Governance Committee has examined Canterbury’s corporate governance practices and the
progress towards a review of its practice compared to the best practice principles proposed by the ASX
Corporate Governance Council as set out in the 4th edition.
Canterbury is mindful that, in light of its size and operations, there may be some rare instances where it has
considered that compliance is not practicable and that this is the most practical and cost-effective manner to
manage and direct Canterbury at that point in time.
Canterbury’s Corporate Governance Committee has reviewed the ASX Recommendations as existing at the
end of the financial year 2019-2020, and the Board, following the Corporate Governance Committee’s
recommendations, approved Canterbury's Corporate Governance Statement current at 30 June 2020. In
many cases, following the transition from the 3rd edition to the 4th edition, Canterbury was already achieving
the new standards required. In other cases Canterbury has considered other arrangements to enable
compliance. In rare instances, Canterbury has determined not to meet the standards set out in the ASX
Recommendations, largely due to that ASX Recommendation being considered by the Board to be unduly
onerous and costly for a company of its size.
The Board’s reasoning for any departure from the ASX Recommendations, the extent of Canterbury's
compliance with the ASX Recommendations, and any alternative governance practices adopted in lieu
of the ASX Recommendations during the year are further detailed below. Except as set out here, the Board
does not anticipate that the Company will depart from the ASX Recommendations for the near future,
however, it may do so if it considers that such a departure is reasonable. Compliance will be reviewed by
Canterbury's Governance Committee at the end of next financial year.
Board Committees
The Board has established five Committees to assist it in fulfilling its responsibilities, being:
• Audit Committee;
• Corporate Governance Committee;
• Nomination Committee;
• Remuneration Committee; and
• Risk Management Committee.

Directors’ report
Principal activity
The principal activity of the group is participation in mineral exploration projects, with tenements currently held
in Queensland, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu. The group primarily targets prospects with potential to host
large scale copper and/or gold deposits.
There were no significant changes in the group’s activities during the year.
Financial result
The consolidated loss of the group after providing for income tax for the year ended 30 June 2020 was
$1,285,601(2019: loss $1,015,172).
The net assets of the group decreased by $59,311 from $10,629,073 at 30 June 2019 to $10,569,762 at 30
June 2020, principally due to the group’s loss for the year of 1,285,601 partially offset by an increase in issued
capital of $1,122,335.
Dividends
There were no dividends paid or declared for the period ended 30 June 2020 (2019: nil). The directors have not
made any recommendations for payment of dividends in respect of the financial year.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
The outbreak of COVID-19 and the subsequent quarantine measures imposed by the Australian and other
governments as well as the travel and trade restrictions imposed by Australia and other countries in early 2020
have caused disruption to businesses and economic activity.
As the situation remains fluid (due to evolving changes in government policy and evolving business and customer
reactions thereto) as at the date these financial statements are authorised for issue, the directors of the company
considered that the financial effects of COVID-19 on the group's consolidated financial statements cannot be
reasonably estimated for future financial periods. However, the directors consider that the general economic
impacts arising from COVID-19 are expected to have a negative impact on certain sections of the operations.
The economic effects arising from the COVID-19 outbreak are expected to affect the consolidated results of the
group for the full year of 2021.
Other than as noted above, there was no significant change in the state of affairs of the group during the financial
year.
Review of operations
During the year, the group continued to advance its portfolio of exploration properties in the SW Pacific region,
covering areas prospective for porphyry copper-gold systems and epithermal gold-silver systems.
In PNG the group holds tenements covering three projects; Bismarck (40%), Ekuti Range (100%) and Ipi River
(100%). Subsequent to year end, the group applied for a new tenement covering the Wamum project.
The Bismarck Project on Manus Island is the subject of a Farm-In and Joint Venture with Rio Tinto Exploration
(PNG) Limited which is earning an equity interest by completing staged exploration programs. Recent
geochemical and geochronological analysis of surface samples has added to evidence for buried porphyry
copper-gold targets. Re-prioritisation of drill targets is ongoing.
At Ekuti Range, a four-hole scout drilling program was completed at the Ekoato prospect in mid-2019 with
encouraging results that provide evidence of a fertile copper-gold porphyry mineralisation system. In addition, a
new prospect was outlined at Yalua, defined by coincident anomalous surface geochemistry, favourable geology
and a magnetic anomaly.

ABN 59 152 189 369
Directors’ report
Review of operations (cont’d)
The Ipi River project re-assessment of historical data has reaffirmed the presence of induced polarisation
anomalies associated with near-surface copper mineralisation.
In Queensland, the group completed a five-hole diamond drilling program (~2,070m) testing the central portion
of the Briggs copper porphyry system, encountering very broad intervals of low-grade copper mineralisation,
plus several higher-grade features.
On 30 March 2020, the Australian Federal Government announced the “JobKeeper” program, which broadly
comprises a wage subsidy to help businesses keep staff employed during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the
year ended 30 June 2020, the group was eligible to receive JobKeeper subsidy to the amount of $50,250, for its
employees.
Due to the impact of COVID-19 on the groups operational cash flow, during the year, the group was eligible to
receive a ‘cash flow boost’ of $100,000, as a waiver of the whole, or part, of the PAYG liability.
Commitments for expenditure
In order to maintain the group’s tenements in good standing with the relevant mining authorities, the group will be
required to incur exploration expenditure under the terms of each exploration licence. The indicative minimum
exploration expenditure requirement for FY21 is approximately $2.1 million, of which approximately $1.3 million is
covered by partners under JV agreements. This is a pro-rata estimate, based on annualised licence terms,
converted to AUD at current exchange rates. Applications have been submitted to relevant authorities to reduce
these amounts in FY21 due to COVID 19 restrictions.

Events since the end of the financial year
Subsequent to year end, the following events have arisen:
(cid:120) On 27 July 2020, the company undertook a Private Placement (PP) of 5.3 million fully paid ordinary shares
at 10 cents per share raising $530,000.
(cid:120) On 22 September 2020, the company undertook a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) for eligible shareholders
registered as at 20 July 2020, providing the opportunity to apply for up to $30,000 of new shares at 10
cents per new share. The SPP and an associated shortfall facility raised $1,899,200.
(cid:120) A total of 1,103,333 of the new shares being issued under the PP and SPP are subject to shareholder
approval.
(cid:120) On 26 August, the company announced maiden Mineral Resources estimates for the Idzan Creek and
Wamum deposits containing a combined 2.7Moz gold and 579kt copper. The deposits lie within the
Wamum Project application (EL2658) in PNG.

Events since the end of the financial year (cont’d)
Other than as noted above, there have been no other events subsequent to 30 June 2020 that are likely, in the
director’s opinion, to affect significantly the activities or the state of affairs of the group in future financial years.
Environmental regulation
The Manager Exploration reports to the Board on all significant safety, health and environmental incidents. The
Board also has a Risk Committee which has oversight of the safety, health and environmental performance of
the group. The activities of the group are subject to environmental regulation under the jurisdiction of the
countries in which those activities are conducted, including Australia, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu. Each
tenement is subject to environmental regulation as part of their granting. Each site is also required to manage
their environmental obligations in accordance with group policies. The group has internal reporting systems.
Environmental incidents are reported and assessed according to their environmental consequence and
environmental authorities are notified where required and remedial action is undertaken.
Climate change
The group’s exploration activities are assessed as having relatively low energy intensity, producing low exposure
to climate change risks related to the transition to a lower carbon economy.
Exploration activities may be carried out at sites that are vulnerable to physical climate impacts. Extreme weather
events have the potential to damage infrastructure and disrupt or delay field activities. The group is adapting its
site-specific operating plans to ensure that this risk factor is considered.
Remuneration of key management personnel
Information about the remuneration of key management personnel is set out in the remuneration report section
of this directors’ report. The term ‘key management personnel’ refers to those persons having authority and
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the consolidated entity, directly or indirectly,
including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the group.
Share options granted to directors and senior management
During the year, there were 1,200,000 options issued to the directors or senior management.
Remuneration report (audited)
This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2020 outlies the remuneration arrangement of the group
and the group in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (the “Act”) and its
regulations. This information has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Act.
The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for key management personnel (KMP) who
are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the
major activities of the group and the group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or
otherwise) of the parent company.

Remuneration philosophy
The objectives of the group’s remuneration framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and
appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic
objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. The Board believes that executive remuneration satisfies
the following key criteria:
competitiveness and reasonableness
(cid:120)
(cid:120) acceptability to shareholders
(cid:120) performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
transparency
capital management.
These criteria result in a framework which can be used to provide a mix of fixed and variable remuneration, and
a blend of short and long-term incentives in line with the group’s limited financial resources.
Fees and payments to the group’s non-executive directors and senior executives reflect the demands which are
made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors and senior management. Such fees and payments are
reviewed annually by the Board. The group’s executive and non-executive directors, senior executives and
officers are entitled to receive options under the group’s employee share option scheme.
Relationship between the remuneration policy and company performance
The tables below set out summary information about the group’s earnings and movements in shareholder wealth
for the five years to June 2020. As the table indicates, earnings have varied significantly over the past five
financial years, due to the nature of activities. It has been the focus of the Board of Directors to attract and retain
management personnel essential to continue the group’s participation in mineral exploration projects.

shares commencing on 7 March 2019. As such, information for 2016, 2017 and 2018 is not available.
Remuneration of directors is set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size and industry,
and by reference to the skills and experience of directors. Fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are not linked
to the performance of the group. This policy may change once the exploration phase is complete and the group
is generating revenue. At present the existing remuneration policy is not impacted by the group’s performance
including earnings and changes in shareholder wealth (e.g. changes in share price) with the exception of
incentive options issued to directors, subject to shareholder approval.

Employee share option plan
The group operates an employee share option plan for employees and contractors of the group. In accordance
with the provisions of the plan, employees may be granted options to purchase parcels of ordinary shares at
specified exercise prices.
Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of the group on exercise. No amounts are paid
or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The option carries neither rights to dividends nor voting
rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry.
The options granted expire on their expiry date, or one month after the resignation of the employee, whichever
is the earlier.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
1. General information
Canterbury Resources Limited (“the company”) is a public company incorporated in Australia.
The address of its registered office and principal place of business is as follows:
Suite 108
55 Miller Street
Pyrmont NSW 2009
The principal activity of the group is participation in mineral exploration projects, with tenements currently held
in Queensland, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu. The group primarily targets prospects with potential to host
large scale copper and/or gold deposits.
These consolidated financial statements and notes represent the company and its controlled entities (“the
group”).
2. Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance
with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements
of the law. Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards (‘AAS’). Compliance with AAS
ensures that the financial statements and notes of the group comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards (‘IFRS’).
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the group.
For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the group is a for-profit entity.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 25 September 2020.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain non-
current assets and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in
the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in
exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or
estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the group takes
into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into
account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or
disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-
based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2 ‘Share-based payments’, leasing transactions
that are within the scope of AASB 16 ‘Leases’, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but
are not fair value, such as value in use in AASB 136 ‘Impairment of Assets’.

ABN 59 152 189 369
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 2020
2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
(a) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and the entities
controlled by the company (its subsidiaries) up to 30 June each year. Control is achieved when the company:
•
•
•
has the power over the investee;
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
has the ability to use its power to affects its returns.
The company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there
are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it considers that it has power
over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities
of the investee unilaterally. The company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether
or not the company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
•
•
•
•
the size of the company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the
other vote holders;
potential voting rights held by the company, other vote holders or other parties;
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the company has, or does not have, the current
ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns
at previous shareholders’ meetings.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when
the company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of
during the year are included in profit or loss from the date the company gains control until the date when the
company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the company.
Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the company. Where necessary,
adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line
with the group’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between
the members of the group are eliminated on consolidation.
(b) Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a
business combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values
of assets transferred by the group, liabilities incurred by the group to the former owners of the acquiree and the
equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair
value, except that:

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(b) Business combinations (cont’d)
(cid:120)
(cid:120) deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are
recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 ‘Income Taxes’ and AASB 119 ‘Employee
Benefits’ respectively;
liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-
based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements
of the acquiree are measured in accordance with AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ at the acquisition
date; and
(cid:120) assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 ‘Non-current
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ are measured in accordance with that Standard.
Where the consideration transferred by the group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities
resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its
acquisition-date fair value. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement
period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill.
Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the
‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances
that existed at the acquisition date.
(c) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the group expects to be entitled in a contract with
a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The group recognises revenue when it
transfers control of a service to a customer.
Support services
The group recognises operating revenue from the provision of support services. Such services are recognised
as a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time.
(d) Government grants
COVID-19 Cash Boost
Government grants in the scope of AASB 120 are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the
group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the group
recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
The cash flow boost is effectively a waiver of the whole, or part, of the PAYG liability, the amount of the ‘payment’
is recognised as a reduction in the PAYG liability and grant income. The condition for receiving the grant is that
PAYG has been withheld, the reduction in PAYG liability and corresponding grant income is recognised when
salaries are paid. The group has determined it has met the criteria to be entitled to the cash boost, and have
recorded $100,000 as other income.
JobKeeper subsidy
In response to the global pandemic Covid 19, the Australian Government has offered financial stimulus for not
for profit organisations and other organisations, such as Job Keeper. The payment is made to the employer,
and administered through the tax system. The JobKeeper payment is not subject to GST. This income is
recognised in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(e) Leases
The group as lessee
The group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The group recognises
a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the
lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of
low value assets. For these leases, the group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time
pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. The lease liability is initially measured
at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the
rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the group uses its incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
•
•
•
Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at
the commencement date;
The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.
The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease
liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments
made. The group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-
use asset) whenever:
•
•
•
The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a
change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is
remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under
a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised
lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a
change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).
A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in
which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting
the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
The group did not make any such adjustments during the periods presented.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments
made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They
are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Whenever the group
incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or
restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is
recognised and measured under AASB 137. To the extent that the costs relate to a right-of-use asset, the costs
are included in the related right-of-use asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.
If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the group
expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the
underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use assets are
presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The group applies AASB 136
to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as
described in the ‘Property, plant and equipment’ policy (as outlined in the financial report for the annual reporting
period.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(e) Leases (cont’d)
Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability
and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event
or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line “Other expenses” in profit or loss.
As a practical expedient, AASB 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account
for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement.
The group has not used this practical expedient. For contracts that contain a lease component and one or more
additional lease or non-lease components, the group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease
component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone
price of the non-lease components.
(f) Taxation
The company is part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law, of which Canterbury Resources
Limited is the head entity. As a result, Canterbury Resources Limited is subject to income tax through its
membership of the tax-consolidated group. The consolidated current and deferred tax amounts for the tax-
consolidated group are allocated to the members of the tax-consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer
within group’ approach, with deferred taxes being allocated by reference to the carrying amounts in the financial
statements of each member entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. Current tax liabilities and
assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax credits arising from this allocation
process are then accounted for as immediately assumed by the head entity, as under Australian taxation law
the head entity has the legal obligation (or right) to these amounts.
Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax sharing
agreement with the head entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, Canterbury Resources Limited
have agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head entity equal to the tax liability or asset assumed
by the head entity for that period as noted above. Such amounts are reflected in amounts receivable from or
payable to the head entity. Accordingly, the amount arising under the tax funding arrangement for each period
is equal to the tax liability or asset assumed by the head entity for that period and no contribution from (or
distribution to) equity participants arises in relation to income taxes.
The tax sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax-consolidated group provides for the
determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its
tax payment obligations or if an entity should leave the tax-consolidated group. The effect of the tax sharing
agreement is that the company’s liability for tax payable by the tax consolidated group is limited to the amount
payable to the head entity under the tax funding arrangement.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as
reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of
income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible.
The group‘s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in
the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences.

(f) Taxation (cont’d)
Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be
utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects
neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the
temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries, except where the group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable
that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from
deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the
extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the
temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset
to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which
the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets
reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the group expects, at the end of the
reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the
group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax
arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the
business combination.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less which are convertible to a known amount of cash
and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within
short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(h) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their
useful lives, using the diminishing value method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation
method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted
for on a prospective basis.

(h) Property, plant and equipment (cont’d)
Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis so as to write off the cost or revalued amount of each
fixed asset over its estimated useful life, as follows to its estimated residual value.

Plant and equipment
Website development costs
Computer hardware
Motor vehicles
Right of use assets
Depreciation rate
15%
25%
33.33%

Useful life or shorter of lease term
Depreciation rates and methods shall be reviewed at least annually and, where changed, shall be accounted
for as a change in accounting estimate. Where depreciation rates or methods are changed, the net written down
value of the asset is depreciated from the date of the change in accordance with the new depreciation rate or
method. Depreciation recognised in prior financial years shall not be changed, that is, the change in depreciation
rate or method shall be accounted for on a ‘prospective’ basis.
The assets' residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet
date.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement
of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
(i) Exploration and development expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditures incurred are capitalised in respect of each identifiable
area of interest. These costs are only capitalised to the extent that they are expected to be recovered through
the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits
reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in
which the decisions to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the
life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is
undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to capitalise costs in relation
to that area.
Costs of site restoration are provided for over the life of the project from when exploration commences and are
included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant,
equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with local laws
and regulations and clauses of the permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs,
current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted for on a prospective basis. In determining the costs
of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community
expectations and future legalisation. Accordingly, the costs have been determined on the basis that the
restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

(j) Impairment of assets (excluding goodwill)
At the end of each reporting period, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists,
the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent
basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or
otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and
consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal 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 which the
estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount,
the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment
loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in
which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so 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 (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in
profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
(k) Goodwill
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any
non(cid:486)controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the
acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition(cid:486)date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed.
Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing,
goodwill is allocated to each of the group’s cash(cid:486)generating units (or groups of cash(cid:486)generating units) expected
to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash(cid:486)generating units to which goodwill has been allocated
are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired.
If the recoverable amount of the cash(cid:486)generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment
loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other
assets of the unit pro(cid:486)rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss
recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
On disposal of a cash generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the
profit or loss on disposal.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(l) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial
assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the
acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately
in profit or loss.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within
the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. All recognised financial assets are
measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost.
Classification of financial assets
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:
•
•
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to
collect contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables.
Amortised cost and effective interest method
For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit(cid:486)impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are
credit(cid:486)impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future
cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest
rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected
life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt
instrument on initial recognition. For purchased or originated credit(cid:486)impaired financial assets, a credit(cid:486)adjusted
effective interest rate is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows, including expected credit
losses, to the amortised cost of the debt instrument on initial recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition
minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any
difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross
carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss
allowance.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating
interest income over the relevant period.
Impairment of financial assets
The group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables. The amount of expected
credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the
respective financial instrument.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(l) Financial instruments (cont’d)
Financial assets (cont’d)
Impairment of financial assets (cont’d)
The group always recognises lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) for trade receivables. The expected credit
losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the group’s historical credit
loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an
assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including
time value of money where appropriate.
Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the
expected life of a financial instrument.
Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the
magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of
default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described
above. As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying
amount at the reporting date; for financial guarantee contracts, the exposure includes the amount drawn down
as at the reporting date, together with any additional amounts expected to be drawn down in the future by default
date determined based on historical trend, the entity’s understanding of the specific future financing needs of
the debtors, and other relevant forward-looking information.
For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows
that are due to the group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the group expects to receive,
discounted at the original effective interest rate.
If the group has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in
the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL
are no longer met, the entity measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL at the current
reporting date, except for assets for which simplified approach was used.
The group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a
corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
Derecognition of financial assets
The entity derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset
expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
asset to another entity. If the entity neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the entity recognises its retained interest in the asset
and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the entity retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the entity continues to recognise the financial asset and
also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction
costs.

(l) Financial instruments (cont’d)
Financial liabilities (cont’d)
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition
The group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the group’s obligations are discharged,
cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and
the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
(m) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of
the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables
or payables.
Cash flows are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of
cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation
authority is classified within operating cash flows.
(n) Foreign currencies
For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of the group are
expressed in Australian dollars (‘$’), which is the functional currency of the company and the presentation
currency for the consolidated financial statements.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the group’s functional
currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the
rates prevailing at that date. Nonmonetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies
are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that
are
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
For the purpose of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the group’s
foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the
reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless
exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the
transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in equity.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(o) Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the group’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that
are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or
in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty
at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
As described at (h) above, the group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the
end of each reporting period.
Impairment testing
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or whenever certain triggering events or circumstances, that would
more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount, are identified. Events or
circumstances that might indicate an interim evaluation is warranted include, among other things, unexpected
adverse business conditions, macro and reporting unit specific economic factors (for example, interest rate and
foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and loss of key personnel), supply costs, unanticipated competitive activities,
and acts by governments and courts.
Capitalised exploration and development expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditures incurred are only capitalised to the extent that they are
expected to be recovered through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have
not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable
reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to
capitalise costs in relation to that area.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as it is probable that future taxable
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences. Further, the company has determined that it is
not probable that it will derive sufficient taxable income in the near future to recover the tax losses and as a
result they have not been recognised as deferred tax assets in the 2020 financial period.
Provision for rehabilitation
Costs of site restoration have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and
technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted for on a prospective basis. In determining the costs
of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community
expectations and future legalisation.

(p) Share based payments
Employee share option plan
The group operates an employee share option for employees and contractors of the group. In accordance with
the provisions of the plan, employees may be granted options to purchase parcels of ordinary shares at specified
exercise prices.
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the
fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value excludes the effect of non-market-based
vesting conditions.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments
that will eventually vest. At each reporting date, the group revises its estimate of the number of equity
instruments expected to vest as a result of the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. The impact of the
revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects
the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to reserves.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair
value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case
they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains
the goods or the counterparty renders the service.
Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of the group on exercise. No amounts are paid or
payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights.
Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry.
(q) Interests in joint operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights
to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually
agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities
require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
When a group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the group as a joint operator recognises in
relation to its interest in a joint operation:
• its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
• its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
• its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
• its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
• its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
The group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in
accordance with the IFRS Standards applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.
When a group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a sale or
contribution of assets), the Group is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the
joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from the transactions are recognised in the group’s consolidated
financial statements only to the extent of other parties’ interests in the joint operation.
When a group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a purchase
of assets), the group does not recognise its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a
third party.

(r) Going concern
The consolidated net loss of the group, after tax was $1,285,601 for the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: loss
$1,105,172), with cash outflows from operating activities of $863,925 (2019: cash outflow $984,136); and a
working capital deficit of $388,215 (2019: working capital surplus $2,275,196).
With respect to the impact of COVID-19, the group’s operating activities were impacted from the period March
2020 (when the virus impacted Australia) to May 2020 (when restrictions started to lift and full trade commenced
again through all channels within Government guidelines and restrictions). Despite the impact of COVID-19, the
directors believe the group is a going concern. This financial report has been prepared on the going concern
basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement
of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The directors are aware of the fact that future development and administration activities are constrained by
available cash assets, and believe future identified cash flows are sufficient to fund the short-term working
capital and forecasted exploration requirements of the group.
The directors have reached the conclusion that based on all available facts and information currently available,
there are reasonable grounds to believe that the group will be able to pay its debts as an when they become
due and payable and is a going concern. In reaching this conclusion, the directors had regard to the following:
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
the company undertook a Private Placement (PP) of 5.3 million fully paid ordinary shares at 10 cents
per share raising $530,000.
the company undertook a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) for eligible shareholders registered as at 20 July
2020, providing the opportunity to apply for up to $30,000 of new shares at 10 cents per new share. The
SPP and an associated shortfall facility raised $1,899,200. A total of $1,103,333 of the new shares being
issued under the PP and SPP are subject to shareholder approval.
The group has a cash balance of $1,944,635 as of the date of this report to meet its expenses over the next
twelve months.
(s) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief
Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The Managing Director has been identified as the CODM.
The board has appointed a strategic steering committee which assesses the financial performance and position
of the Group and makes strategic decisions. The steering committee, which is led by the CODM (Chief Operating
Decision Maker), consists of the Managing Director as well as the remainder of the executive committee
consisting of the lead decision maker in each region.
(t) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
Amendments to Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for the current year
In the current year, the group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and interpretations issued by
the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the
current annual reporting period. Except as described below, there has been no material impact of these changes
on the group's accounting policies.

Amendments to Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for the current year (cont’d)
Impact of AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 Leases (“AASB 16”) introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. It
introduces significant changes to lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance
lease and requiring the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at commencement for all leases,
except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements
for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged. The impact of the adoption of AASB 16 on the group’s
financial statements is described below.
The date of initial application of AASB 16 for the group is 1 July 2019.
The group has applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative
information has not been restated.
Impact of the new definition of a lease
The group has made use of the practical expedient available on transition to AASB 16 not to reassess whether
a contract is or contains a lease. Accordingly, the definition of a lease in accordance with AASB 117 and
Interpretation 4 will continue to be applied to those contracts entered or modified before 1 July 2019.
The change in definition of a lease mainly relates to the concept of control. AASB 16 determines whether a
contract contains a lease on the basis of whether the customer has the right to control the use of an identified
asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. This is in contrast to the focus on 'risks and rewards' in
AASB 117 and Interpretation 4.
Impact on lease accounting
Former operating leases
AASB 16 changes how the group accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under AASB
117, which were off balance sheet.
Applying AASB 16, for all leases, the group:
a) Recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the statement of financial position, initially measured at
the present value of the future lease payments;
b) Recognises depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in profit or loss;
c) Separates the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) and
interest (presented within financing activities) in the statement of cash flows.
Lease incentives (e.g. rent-free period) are recognised as part of the measurement of the right-of-use assets
and lease liabilities whereas under AASB 117 they resulted in the recognition of a lease incentive, amortised as
a reduction of rental expenses generally on a straight-line basis. Financial impact of initial application of AASB
16
Under AASB 16, right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of
Assets. For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (such as tablet
and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones), the group has opted to recognise a
lease expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by AASB 16. This expense is presented within ‘other
expenses’ in profit or loss.

The below outlines the reconciliation of operating lease commitments at the end of the financial reporting year
ended 30 June 2019 to the lease liability recognised in the statement of financial position after initial application
of AASB 16.
Operating lease commitments disclosed at 30 June 2019
Short-term leases recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense
Total nominal lease liabilities at 1 July 2019
Discounting using the group’s weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of 7.6%

AASB 2017-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Long-term Interests in Associates
and Joint Ventures
The group has adopted the amendments to AASB 128 ‘Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures’ for the
first time in the current year. The amendment clarifies that AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’, including its
impairment requirements, applies to other financial instruments in an associate or joint venture to which the
equity method is not applied. These include long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the entity’s net
investment in an associate or joint venture. The group applies AASB 9 to such long-term interests before it
applies AASB 128. In applying AASB 9, the group does not take account of any adjustments to the carrying
amount of long-term interests required by AASB 128 (i.e., adjustments to the carrying amount of long-term
interests arising from the allocation of losses of the investee or assessment of impairment in accordance with
AASB 128).

AASB 2018-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2015–2017
Cycle
The group has adopted the amendments included in AASB 2008-1 for the first time in the current year. The
Standard include amendments to two applicable Standards:
• AASB 112 Income Taxes – The amendments clarify that the group should recognise the income tax
consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the
group originally recognised the transactions that generated the distributable profits. This is the case irrespective
of whether different tax rates apply to distributed and undistributed profits.
• AASB 11 Joint Arrangements - The amendments clarify that when a party that participates in, but does not
have joint control of, a joint operation that is a business obtains joint control of such a joint operation, the group
does not remeasure its previously held interest in the joint operation.
Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
The group has adopted Interpretation 23 for the first time in the current year. Interpretation 23 sets out how to
determine the accounting tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation
requires the group to:
• Determine whether uncertain tax positions are assessed separately or as a group;
•
Assess whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment used, or proposed
to be used, by an entity in its income tax filings:
- If yes, the group should determine its accounting tax position consistently with the tax treatment used or
planned to be used in its income tax filings; or
- If no, the group should reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining its accounting tax position using
either the most likely amount or the expected value method.
The adoption of Interpretation 23 has not had an impact on the group’s tax position. The group does not have
uncertainty over its income tax treatments.

minimum exploration expenditure requirement for FY21 is approximately $2.1 million, of which approximately
$1.3 million is covered by partners under JV agreements. This is a pro-rata estimate, based on annualised
licence terms, converted to AUD at current exchange rates. Applications have been submitted to relevant
authorities to reduce these amounts in FY21 due to COVID 19 restrictions.

28. Operating segments
Identification of four reportable operating segments
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) has restructured the reporting structures into 3 reportable
segments representing business operating segments for management, reporting and allocation of resources
purposes. Operating segments have been identified based on financial information that is regularly reviewed
by the CODM.
The group aggregates two or more operating segments into a single reportable operating segment when the
group has assessed and determined the aggregated operating segments share similar economic and
geographical characteristics.
The group has the following reportable segments:
(cid:404) Australia
(cid:404) Vanuatu
(cid:404) Papua New Guinea

28. Operating segments (cont’d)
The performance of each segment forms the basis of all reporting to the CODM. The steering committee
primarily uses Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) to assess the performance of a segment. It will also
review the assets and working capital of each segment on a regular basis. The accounting policies adopted for
internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.
In reporting the EBIT to the steering committee, results for the normal operations of the segment separately
show reporting of non-recurring events.
Accounting policy for operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on
the same basis as the internal reports provided to the CODM. The CODM is responsible for the allocation of
resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

29. Employee share option plan
The group operates an employee share option plan for employees and contractors of the group. In accordance
with the provisions of the plan, employees may be granted options to purchase parcels of ordinary shares at
specified exercise prices.
Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of the group on exercise. No amounts are paid
or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting
rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry.
The options granted expire on their expiry date, or one month after the resignation of the employee, whichever
is the earlier.

*Irrespective of any restrictions applicable to those options under ASX requirements.
The weighted average share price at the date of exercise for share options exercised during the period was
$0.22.
The options outstanding at 30 June 2020 had a weighted average exercise price of $0.40 and $0.35, and a
weighted average remaining contractual life of 3.2 years and 2.6 years respectively. In 2020, options were
granted on 28 November 2019. The aggregate of the estimated fair values of the options granted on this date
is $106,755.

Expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of the group’s share price over the
previous 1.5 years. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best
estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

Capital management
The group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the group will be able to continue as going concerns
while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of its equity balance.
In managing its capital, the group's primary objective is to ensure its continued ability to maintain its operations
and provide a platform to enable a return for its equity shareholders to be made when successful commercial
operations are achieved. In order to achieve this objective, the group seeks to maximise its fund raising to
provide sufficient funding to enable the group to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs. In
making decisions to adjust its capital structure to achieve these aims, either through new share issues, or
reduction of debt, the group considers not only its short-term position but also its long-term operational and
strategic objectives.
The group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2019.
The capital structure of the group consists of cash and bank balances (note 21) and equity of the group
(comprising issued capital, reserves and accumulated losses as detailed in notes 16 to 18).
The group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
(a) Market risk
The group‘s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates and foreign
currency. There has been no change to the group‘s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these
risks are managed and measured.
(i) Interest rate risk management

The group's policy is, where possible, to allow group entities to settle liabilities denominated in their functional
currency with the cash generated from their own operations in that currency. Where group entities have
liabilities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency (and have insufficient reserves of that
currency to settle them) cash already denominated in that currency will, where possible, be transferred from
elsewhere within the group.

(b) Credit risk
Credit risk arises principally from the group's trade and other receivables. It is the risk that the counterpart fails
to discharge its obligation in respect of the instrument. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial
condition of trade and other receivables. The group does not have significant concentration of credit risk with
respect to any single counter party or company of counter parties. The group applies the AASB 9 simplified
approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade
receivables. The group has considered the impact of COVID 19 on expected credit losses (ECL) for
receivables and note there is no material impact.
In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the local management considers any change in the
credit quality of these financial assets from the date credit was granted up to the reporting date. The directors
have assessed for any expected credit losses under AASB 9 and believe that there is no further credit
provision required. Management does not expect any material loss from non-performance by counterparties
on credit granted during the financial year under review that has not been provided for.
(c) Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board, which has established an appropriate
liquidity risk management framework for the management of the group’s short medium and long-term funding
and liquidity management requirements. The group manages liquidity risk by maintaining a reputable credit
risk profile, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual
cash flows.
The group's policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when
they become due. To achieve this aim, it seeks to maintain cash balances (or agreed facilities) to meet
expected requirements for a period of at least 45 days. The Board receives cash flow projections in a monthly
basis as well as information regarding cash balances. At the balance sheet date, these projections indicated
that the group expected to have sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations under all reasonably
expected circumstances. The group does not have any financing facilities in place and does not have a bank
overdraft.
Maturity analysis of financial assets and liability based on contractual obligations
The risk implied from the values shown in the table below, reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and
outflows. Trade and other payables mainly originate from the financing of assets used in ongoing operations
such as, plant, equipment and investments in working capital (e.g. trade receivables). These assets are
considered in the group's overall liquidity risk.

statements approximate their fair values.
32. Other information
In accordance with Listing Rule 4.10.19, the group has used the cash and assets in a form readily convertible
to cash that it had at the time of admission in a way consistent with its business objectives.

Wamum deposits containing a combined 2.7Moz gold and 579kt copper. The deposits lie within the
Wamum Project application (EL2658) in PNG.
Other than as noted above, there have been no other events subsequent to 30 June 2020 that are likely, in
the director’s opinion, to affect significantly the activities or the state of affairs of the group in future financial
years.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the members of Canterbury Resources Limited,
Report on the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Canterbury Resources Limited (the
company and its subsidiaries) (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statements
of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statements of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the
consolidated statements of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the
directors’ declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i)
giving a true and fair view of the group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020
and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations
Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our
responsibilities under those standards are
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.
further described
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 the key audit
matter
Intangible Assets and Capitalised Deferred Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
$10.9 million
Refer to Notes 11 and 12
The consolidated entity owns the rights
to several exploration licenses in Papua
New Guinea, Vanuatu and Queensland.
The intangible asset represents goodwill
on acquisition of Finny Limited,
predominantly relating to the exploration
licences held by that company.
Expenditure relating to these areas is
capitalised and carried forward to the
extent they are expected to be recovered
through the successful development of
the respective area or where activities in
the area have not yet reached a stage
that permits reasonable assessment of
the existence of economically
recoverable reserves.
This area is a key audit matter due to:
(cid:120) The significance of the balances;
(cid:120) The inherent uncertainty of the
recoverability of the amounts
involved; and
(cid:120) The substantial amount of audit work
performed.
Our audit procedures included amongst
others:
(cid:120) Assessing whether any facts or
circumstances exist that may
indicate impairment of the
capitalised assets;
(cid:120) Performing detailed testing of
source documents to ensure
capitalised expenditure was
allocated to the correct area of
interest;
(cid:120) Performing detailed testing of
source documents to ensure
expenditure was capitalised in
accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards; and
(cid:120) Obtaining external confirmations to
ensure the exploration licences are
current and accurate.
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 2020 but
does not include the financial report and our 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.
Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report
that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary
to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of
the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either
intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to
do so.
Auditor’s Responsibility 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We
also:
(cid:120)
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
(cid:120) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the
related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
(cid:120)
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies
in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless
law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh
the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the year
ended 30 June 2020.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Canterbury Resources Limited for the year
ended 30 June 2020 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit
conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
