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, 
where 
indicated 
widespread copper mineralisation. 
sparse  historic  drilling  has 
We also completed a scout drilling program at the 
Ekoato  prospect  in  PNG  during  the  year,  testing 
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 
artisanal  gold  workings  at

highlighting  the  potential  of  the  system.  Follow-up 
drilling  options  are  being  assessed,  including  at 
other  high-grade  gold-copper  mineralised  shear 
zones within the broader Ekuti Range project, such 
as Otibanda.  
surface, 
Elsewhere  within  the  Ekuti  Range  tenements  a 
significant copper-molybdenum-gold prospect has 
been  generated  at  Yalua,  where  a  broad  soil 
geochemical anomaly is coincident with mapped 
quartz veins, an outcropping dioritic intrusion and a 
magnetic  anomaly.  Assessment  of  a  scout  drilling 
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.  
in  PNG,  we  have  applied 
for  a 
Elsewhere 
tenement  at  Wamum, 
strategically  significant 
which  adjoins  the  major  Wafi-Golpu  copper-gold 
project owned by Newcrest and Harmony Gold. At 
Wafi-Golpu the JV partners are currently seeking a 
Mining  Lease  ahead  of  potential  development. 
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 
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 
in  Canterbury’s  Policies  handbook  along  with  all  of

the  Recommendations  can  be 
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.

Directors’ report
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.

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’.

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.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(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.

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.

(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.

(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.

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.

(t) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards (cont’d)
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.

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).

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.

(i) 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.
20. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

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.

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 exposure to  interest  rate risk and the effective weighted  average interest  rate for  classes of
financial assets and financial liabilities is set out below:

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.

     Capital management (cont’d)
(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.

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the
consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.
31. Fair value measurements
There are no financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting
period.
The were no transfers between level 1,2, and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the year.
The  carrying  amount  of  other  financial  assets  or  financial  liabilities  recorded  in  the  consolidated  financial
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.

33. Events after the reporting period
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.
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.
