Chairman's Report
Dear Fellow Shareholders
On behalf of your Board of Directors, I am pleased
to present the 2022 Annual Report to shareholders
of Canterbury Resources Limited.
During the past year we made solid progress across
our project portfolio, despite various restrictions and
precautions relating to COVID-19. Importantly, by
the end of the period, exploration activities had
returned to pre-pandemic levels.
in Queensland, where
Significant progress was achieved at the Briggs
Copper Project
the
Company has outlined a Mineral Resource of
142.8Mt at 0.29% Cu at the Briggs Central deposit.
Further drilling was completed during the year,
along with a major soil sampling program,
identifying extensive copper mineralisation at three
areas (Northern, Central and Southern). Exploration
Targets totalling 455Mt to 850Mt at 0.20% to 0.35%
Cu were estimated for these areas and will be
assessed in near term drilling programs. In parallel,
additional metallurgical testwork was undertaken,
confirming potential for excellent metallurgical
recoveries from the Briggs copper mineralisation.
(ASX: ALM)
Activity at Briggs continues to be funded by Alma
(formerly African Energy
Metals
Resources) which has exercised
its option to
commence an Earn-In Joint Venture, whereby it
can earn up to 70% joint venture interest in the
Project by sole-funding up to $15.25 million of
assessment activity.
In PNG, Canterbury has active projects at Bismarck
(40%), Ekuti Range (100%) and Wamum (100%).

PNG is an excellent analogue of a successful mining
operation with similar geological and mining
attributes.
At the Wamum Project, Canterbury continued to
gather and validate data to inform a high-level
evaluation of a potential standalone operation
based on the Idzan Creek (137.3Mt at 0.53g/t Au
and 0.24% Cu) and Wamum Creek (141.5Mt at
0.18g/t Au and 0.31% Cu) deposits. Preliminary
metallurgical testwork has provided encouraging
copper and gold recoveries via conventional
processing (crush-grind-flotation).
Importantly, Wamum adjoins the major Wafi-Golpu
copper-gold development project owned by
Newcrest and Harmony Gold, where the joint
venture partners are in the advanced stages of
negotiating a Special Mining Lease with the PNG
Government, ahead of a final investment decision.
Development of the Wafi-Golpu project should
create significant strategic benefits for Wamum.
During the past year we also completed two
transactions: the sale of our Vanuatu assets and
acquisition of the Peenam project in Queensland.
I wish to thank all our stakeholders, including joint
venture partners, landowners, and shareholders, for
their continuing support. We are anticipating strong
news flow and exciting progress in the year ahead
and I look forward to sharing our results with you.
Yours sincerely,
John Anderson
Chairman

Review of Operations
INTRODUCTION
Canterbury is a junior resource company that
generates and explores potential Tier-1 copper-
gold projects in proven mineral belts throughout
the SW Pacific region. It has developed a strong
portfolio of advanced exploration projects in
Papua New Guinea and Queensland and has
formed joint venture partnerships at two key
projects to mitigate risk and defray cost.
Canterbury is managed by an experienced
team of resource professionals, with a strong
track record of exploration success and mine
development in the region.
The Company has established significant mineral
resources at three deposits:
•
•
the Briggs copper deposit in
Queensland, plus
the Idzan Creek and Wamum Creek
copper-gold deposits in PNG.
In aggregate these deposits contain around
1.2Mt copper and 3.2Moz gold. Canterbury’s
geologists have identified multiple opportunities
to significantly expand these resources.
Precautions and constraints relating to COVID-19
continued to impact field activities during the
past year but had returned to normal levels by
period end.
QUEENSLAND
Briggs, Mannersley, Fig Tree Hill & Don River Projects (CBY 100%, Rio Tinto 1.5% NSR, Alma Metals Earn-In
▲
JV rights)
The Briggs, Mannersley, Fig Tree Hill and Don River tenements (CBY 100%) are in central Queensland, around
50km inland from the major industrial port of Gladstone. The tenements are prospective for porphyry related
copper-gold mineralisation systems and include the Briggs Copper Project where Canterbury has delineated an
Inferred Mineral Resource of 142.8Mt at 0.29% Cu at the Briggs Central deposit.
The proximity of Briggs to Gladstone provides excellent access to infrastructure that is critical to any potential
development, including grid power, gas pipelines, sealed roads, rail and a deep-water port.
During the past year, Alma Metals (ASX ALM) sole funded further assessment of the Briggs Copper Project under
an Option agreement, and at the end of the year they committed to enter an Earn-In Joint Venture. Activity
included:
• a 12-hole RC drilling program confirming extensive porphyry copper mineralisation up to 750m along
strike from the existing mineral resource,
• a grid-based soil sampling program providing high resolution, low detection level gold and multi-
element geochemistry across the entire Briggs porphyry system, and
• metallurgical test-work confirming potential for excellent metallurgical recoveries from the Briggs
copper mineralisation.
Significantly, the soil sampling over Briggs shows widespread anomalous copper at greater than 0.1% over three
areas (Northern, Central and Southern), which is also confirmed by geological mapping and limited drilling. The
Central area also contains the Central Porphyry Inferred Resource (143Mt at 0.29% Cu).

Review of Operations
Following these encouraging results, at year-end Alma Metals exercised its Option to enter an Earn-In Joint
Venture whereby it now has the right to earn up to 70% interest in the project through staged exploration and
expenditure totalling $15.25M.
Immediate exploration plans are focussed on further diamond drilling of the Northern and Central prospects,
where Exploration Targets have been estimated as illustrated below. The surface area of each Exploration Target
is defined using the 0.1% copper in soils contour, which also corresponds well with lows in airborne magnetic
data which are interpreted to represent areas of magnetite destruction caused by phyllic alteration directly
related to mineralisation.

Peenam (CBY 100%)
Canterbury has completed its acquisition of EPM27756 (Peenam), located 150km northwest of Brisbane. The
project is prospective for porphyry style Cu-Au-Mo mineralisation and bedrock sampling and mapping is
proposed to inform future drill programs.

Wamum Project (CBY 100%)
Wamum adjoins the western margin of the
world-class Wafi-Golpu Project
(Mineral
Resources contain 26Moz gold, 8.6Mt
copper), owned by Newcrest Mining and
Harmony Gold, which
is experiencing a
protracted mine approvals process ahead of
potential development.
Canterbury’s Wamum tenement covers a
series of copper-gold porphyry
related
prospects, including two significant deposits
at Idzan Creek (137.3Mt at 0.53g/t Au and
0.24% Cu) and Wamum Creek (141.5Mt at
0.18g/t Au and 0.31% Cu) containing a
combined 2.6Moz gold and 569kt copper.
These deposits remain open and provide
potential to support a standalone operation
involving both open cut and underground
mining components. Preliminary metallurgical
testwork has been completed and confirms
that encouraging copper and gold
recoveries are achievable via conventional
processing (crush-grind-flotation).
▲
Ekuti Range Project (CBY 100%)
The Ekuti Range Project is ~20km west of Harmony Gold’s Hidden Valley gold mine, ~50km south of Wafi-Golpu
and ~60km south of Wamum.
Canterbury has been exploring the region since 2014 and has undertaken multiple programs. Two related styles
of mineralisation are evident: narrow, high grade epithermal gold-copper lodes (e.g., Otibanda) and large-
scale porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold systems (e.g., Yalua).
Recent activity has focussed on assessing potential extensions to the narrow, high-grade Otibanda, Waikanda
and Ekoato Au-Cu lodes. A soil sampling program has been completed and the results are being integrated
with historical drilling and surface sampling data to inform the design of future drilling programs.
▲
Bismarck Project (CBY 40%, Rio Tinto 60%)
The Bismarck Project is currently sole-funded by Rio Tinto Exploration (PNG) Limited under a Farm-In and Joint
Venture Agreement. The Project is considered prospective for concealed porphyry-style copper-gold-
molybdenum mineralisation adjacent to or below extensive zones of mapped advanced argillic altered
lithocap.
During 2022 Rio Tinto personnel completed a re-analysis of available data, redefining the extent of the lithocap
and examined the veracity of historic anomalous geochemistry and mineralogical associations identified in
proximity to the lithocap and previously identified geophysical drill targets.

Review of Operations
Following the 2022 review, the joint venture partners
have commenced a program of regional drainage
sampling below the elevated terrain of the lithocap to
validate historical geochemistry and
for
mineralogical associations related to proximal porphyry
alteration types. In addition, geological mapping and
sampling is being undertaken, traversing high priority
creeks with anomalous geochemistry and mineralogy
at the Chiniwea, Dremsel and Tahi prospects to search
for porphyritic intrusions, porphyry related mineralisation,
alteration, and veining.

OUTLOOK
Canterbury is ramping up its field activities. In Queensland, a high-impact drilling program has commenced at
the Briggs Copper Project, testing very large-scale exploration targets outlined during the past year. This program
has potential to significantly increase and enhance the existing resources. Funding for the program is being
provided by Alma Metals (ASX ALM) under a joint venture structure that underpins project funding for the
foreseeable future.
In PNG, further mapping and sampling is in progress at the Bismarck Project around the Chiniwea, Dremsel and
Tahi prospects. The results will be used to optimise the design of potential future drill programs targeting
concealed porphyry-style copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation. Activity continues to be funded by joint
venture partner, Rio Tinto.
Following the recent PNG National elections, we are monitoring progress of the licensing process for the Tier-1
Wafi-Golpu copper-gold project, given its strategic proximity to the Wamum Project.
Elsewhere, assessment activities on our 100% owned projects are continuing, aimed at generating additional
attractive copper-gold drill targets. Joint venture partnerships will be sought as projects transition into the drilling
phase.

The consolidated loss of the group after providing for income tax for the year ended 30 June 2022 was
$1,795,267 (2021: loss $1,311,928).
The net assets of the group decreased by $436,271 from $11,668,041 at 30 June 2021 to $11,231,770 at 30
June 2022, primarily due to the group’s loss for the year of $1,795,267 offset by an increase in issued capital of
$1,270,000.
Dividends
There were no dividends paid or declared for the period ended 30 June 2022 (2021: 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
On 1 December 2021, the group acquired 100% of the share capital of Neillkins Mining Pty Ltd, which holds
EPM 27756 covering the Peenam Project in Queensland, located about 150km northwest of Brisbane. The
Peenam Project has potential for the discovery of large-scale Cu-Au porphyry deposits.
On 31 December 2021, the group acquired a 1.95% shareholding in New Talisman Gold Mines Limited, an entity
listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and the New Zealand Stock Exchange. This is an investment arising
out of the sale of Capella Vanuatu Limited.
Other than as noted above, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the group during the
reporting period.
Review of operations
During the year Canterbury continued to explore large-scale porphyry copper-gold prospects throughout
the SW Pacific region. The group made meaningful assessment progress, despite ongoing precautions and
restrictions associated with COVID-19.
Significant advances were achieved at the Briggs Copper Project in Queensland, where the Company has
previously outlined a Mineral Resource of 142.8Mt at 0.29% Cu at the Central Porphyry deposit. A further
round of drilling was completed during the year along with a major soil sampling program, identifying
extensive copper mineralisation at greater than 0.1% at three areas (Northern, Central and Southern).
Exploration targets totalling 455Mt to 850Mt at 0.20% to 0.35% Cu have been estimated for these areas
and will be assessed in planned future drilling programs. In parallel, additional metallurgical testwork was
undertaken, confirming potential for excellent metallurgical recoveries
the Briggs copper
mineralisation.
from
Activity at Briggs continues to be funded by Alma Metals (ASX: ALM) (formerly Africa Energy Resources)
which has exercised its option to commence an Earn-In Joint Venture, whereby it can earn up to 70% joint
venture interest in the Briggs Copper Project by sole-funding up to $15.25 million of assessment activity.
In PNG, the group has three active projects at Bismarck (40%), Ekuti Range (100%) and Wamum (100%).

Directors’ report
Review of operations (cont’d)
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 a project interest by completing staged exploration programs.
Surface sampling and mapping programs are continuing, focussed on the Dremsel and Tahi prospects,
targeting porphyry related mineralisation, alteration and veining. The results from this work are informing
potential future drilling programs.
At Ekuti Range, soil sampling has been completed assessing potential extensions to the narrow, high-grade
Otibanda, Waikanda and Ekoato Au-Cu lodes. The results are being integrated with historical drilling and
surface sampling data to inform the design of future drilling programs.
At the Wamum Project, Canterbury has outlined significant resources at the Idzan Creek (137.3Mt at 0.53g/t
Au and 0.24% Cu) and Wamum Creek (141.5Mt at 0.18g/t Au and 0.31% Cu) deposits. These deposits
remain open and provide potential to support a standalone operation involving both open-cut and
underground mining components. Preliminary metallurgical testwork confirms that encouraging copper and
gold recoveries are achievable via conventional processing (crush-grind-flotation).
Commitments for expenditure
In order to maintain the group’s tenements in good standing with the relevant authorities, the group incurs
exploration expenditure under the terms of each licence. The indicative minimum exploration expenditure
requirement for FY23 is approximately $2.1 million, of which approximately $1.8 million is covered by JV
partners. This is a pro rata estimate, based on annualised licence terms, converted to AUD at current
exchange rates.

Events since the end of the financial year
Since 30 June 2022, the following events have arisen:
On 4 July 2022, Alma Metals Limited exercised its option to commence an Earn-In Joint Venture at
the Briggs, Mannersley, and Fig Tree Hill Project in Central Queensland. Under the agreement, Alma
can earn up to 70% interest in the project through staged exploration and expenditure totalling $15.25M.
On 1 August 2022, Canterbury launched a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) for shareholders registered as at
22 July 2022, to raise additional capital. The SPP provides the shareholders listed on Canterbury’s register
on 22 July 2022 with an opportunity to subscribe for a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $30,000 worth
of fully-paid ordinary shares at $0.04 per share.

Directors’ report
Climate change
The group’s exploration activities are assessed as having relatively low energy intensity and produce 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.
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 and Papua New Guinea. Each tenement is subject
to environmental regulation as part of its granting. Each site is also required to manage its 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.
The Board believes that the group has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental
requirements and is not aware of any breach of these environmental requirements as they apply to the
group.
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 1,500,000 options issued to the directors or senior management.
Remuneration report (audited)
This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2022 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

The objectives of the group’s remuneration framework are 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
acceptability to shareholders
performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation
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 2022. 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.

Directors’ report
Remuneration report (audited) (cont’d)
Remuneration of directors is set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size and industry,
and by reference to the skills and experience of directors. Fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are not linked
to the performance of the group. This policy may change once the exploration phase is complete and the group
is generating revenue. At present the existing remuneration policy is not impacted by the group’s performance
including earnings and changes in shareholder wealth (e.g. changes in share price) with the exception of
incentive options issued to directors, subject to shareholder approval.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 2022
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 301
55 Miller Street
Pyrmont NSW 2009
The principal activity of the group is participation in mineral exploration projects, with tenements currently held
in Queensland and Papua New Guinea. 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 23 September 2022.
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
considers 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’.

Rounding off of amounts
The group is of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) Instrument
2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in the
consolidated financial statements are rounded off to the nearest dollar unless otherwise indicated.
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:
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
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:
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
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 also 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.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(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:
·
·
·
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
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
JobKeeper subsidy
In response to the global pandemic COVID-19, the Australian Government offered a financial stimulus for not
for profit organisations and other organisations, such as JobKeeper Payment. The payment is made to the
employer and administered through the tax system and is not subject to GST. The group received this payment
and recognised the income in the period in which the related expenses were incurred. The JobKeeper Payment
scheme ended on 28 March 2021, and therefore no payments were received in the year ended 30 June 2022.

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:
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
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:
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
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.
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.
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.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(f) Taxation (cont’d)
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.
Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis so as to write off the cost or revalued amount of each
fixed asset over its estimated useful life, as follows to its estimated residual value.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(h) Property, plant and equipment (cont’d)
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 values 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 decision 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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(j) Impairment of assets (excluding goodwill) (cont’d)
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-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-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-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) expected
to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-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-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-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.

(l) Financial instruments (cont’d)
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:
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
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-impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are
credit-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-impaired financial assets, a credit-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.
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.
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.
(o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made
of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present
obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where
a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is
the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third
party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the
amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

(p) Short-term and other long-term employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and
long service leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits
expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of
the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the
estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees
up to the reporting date
(q) 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 in (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.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d)
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 2022 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.
(r) 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.
(s) 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.

(s) Interests in joint operations (cont’d)
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:
(cid:127) its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
(cid:127) its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
(cid:127) its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
(cid:127) its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
(cid:127) 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.
(t) Going concern
The consolidated net loss of the group, after tax was $1,795,267 for the year ended 30 June 2022 (2021: loss
$1,311,928), with cash outflows from operating activities of $932,346 (2021: cash outflow $814,719); and a
working capital surplus of $177,635 (2021: working capital surplus of $715,278).
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.
On 25 July 2022, the Company announced a share purchase plan (SPP) for eligible shareholders at an issue
price of $0.04 per share aimed at raising $1 million. The SPP is scheduled to close on 28 September 2022 and
the Company has reserved the right to accept oversubscriptions or to undertake placements to cover any shortfall.
During the next twelve months there is substantial exploration activity planned to advance the company’s
tenement assets, and the directors note that will be largely funded by joint venture partners. Furthermore, The
Company expects to generate fee income in relation to the management of some of these planned activities, that
will further assist in funding the company’s operations.
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.
The group has a cash balance of $250,139 as of the date of this report to meet its expenses over the next twelve
months.

consisting of the lead decision maker in each region.
(v) 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

(cid:127) Require lessees that apply the practical expedient to account for COVID-19-related rent concessions as
if they were not lease modifications
(cid:127) Require lessees that apply the practical expedient to disclose whether the practical expedient has been
applied to all eligible contracts, or, if not, information about the nature of the contracts to which the
practical expedient has been applied
(cid:127) Require lessees to apply the practical expedient retrospectively, recognising the cumulative effect of
applying the amendment as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings (or other component of
equity, as appropriate) at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the lessee first applies the
amendment.
AASB 2021-3 extends the relief by one year to cover rent concessions that reduce only lease payments due on
or before 30 June 2022. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April
2021 but earlier application is permitted, including in financial statements not authorised for issue at 31 March
2021.
A lessee:
(cid:127)
That has already applied the practical expedient (in AASB 2020-4) must apply the extended scope of the
expedient (in AASB 2021-3) to eligible contracts with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances

(w) Comparative figures
Prior year figures have been adjusted where appropriate to conform to changes in presentation for the current
financial year and enhance comparability.
Change in accounting policy - reclassification of intangible assets (goodwill) to exploration and
development expenditure
During the current financial year, the group changed its accounting policy covering the acquisition of any entities
that hold a mining exploration lease(s). In such cases, where the mining exploration lease is the primary asset of
the acquired entity, any premium paid over the net assets of the entity should be recorded as capitalised
exploration costs to reflect the value of prior exploration works acquired. This policy is consistent with generally
accepted accounting practices.
In compliance with this change in policy, the group adjusted the prior period acquisition transaction of Finny
Limited, whereby the value of goodwill on acquisition (being $2,735,758) was adjusted in the consolidated
financial statements and recorded as capitalised exploration and development expenditure as at 1 July 2020.

28. Operating segments
Identification of three reportable operating segments
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) has restructured the reporting structures into 2 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:
● Papua New Guinea
● Australia
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.

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on

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 earlier. Terms and conditions of share-based payment arrangements affecting remuneration of key
management personnel in the current financial year or future financial years:

The options outstanding at 30 June 2022 had a weighted average exercise price of $0.25 and $0.20, and a
weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.77 years and 2.81 years respectively. In 2022, options were
granted on 10 September 2021. The aggregate of the estimated fair values of the options granted on this date
is $88,996. No options were exercised during the period.

Expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of the group’s share price over the

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 2021.
The capital structure of the group consists of cash and bank balances (note 22) 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.

(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
The investment in New Talisman Gold Mines Limited is measured at fair value (refer to Note 12).
Other than as noted above, there are no financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value at
the end of the reporting period.
There 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:127)
Alma Metals Limited has exercised its option to commence an Earn-In joint venture at the Briggs,
Mannersley and Fig Tree Hill project in central Queensland. Alma can earn up to 70% interest in the project
through staged exploration and expenditure totalling $15.25million.
(cid:127) On 1 August 2022, Canterbury launched a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) for shareholders registered as at
22 July 2022, to raise additional capital. The SPP provides the shareholders listed on Canterbury’s register
on 22 July 2022 with an opportunity to subscribe for a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $30,000 worth
of fully-paid ordinary shares at $0.04 per share.
Other than as noted above, there have been no other events subsequent to 30 June 2022 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 2022, 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)
(ii)
giving a true and fair view of the group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and
of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
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
Capitalised Exploration and Development Expenditure
$10.9 million
Refer to Note 11
The consolidated entity owns the rights
to several exploration licenses in Papua
New Guinea and Queensland.
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:
• The significance of the balance;
• The inherent uncertainty of the
recoverability of the amounts
involved; and
• The substantial amount of audit work
performed.
Our audit procedures included amongst
others:
• Assessing whether any facts or
circumstances exist that may
indicate impairment of the
capitalised asset;
• Performing detailed testing of
source documents to ensure
capitalised expenditure was
allocated to the correct area of
interest;
• Performing detailed testing of
source documents to ensure
expenditure was capitalised in
accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards; and
• 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 2022 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:
•
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.
• 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.
•
•
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.
•
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial report,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies
in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless
law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh
the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the year
ended 30 June 2022.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Canterbury Resources Limited for the year
ended 30 June 2022 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit
conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Member") is entitled to vote in person, by proxy or by representative. Each Eligible Member has one vote on a
show of hands and each Eligible Member has one vote per share, or a fraction of a vote on a partly paid share,
on a poll. A person who holds an ordinary share that is not fully paid is entitled, on a poll, to a fraction of a vote
equal to the proportion which the amount paid bears to the total issue price of the share. A member is not entitled
to vote if there are any calls or other sum outstanding on his or her shares. If a share is held jointly and more
than one member votes in respect of that share, only the vote of the member whose name appears first in the
register of members will be counted.
Option holders have no voting rights until the options are exercised.
There are no current on-market buy-back (LR 4.10.18).
