DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

Dear Shareholder, 

The  2019  financial  year  saw  your  Company  continue  to  be  re-rated  through  the  delivery  of numerous 
additional positive technical results and corporate initiatives whilst both the domestic and global markets 
became more aware of the “Central Victorian Gold Rush”. 

On 18 July 2018, St Barbara Limited were issued 318,528 ordinary fully paid shares at 50 cents per share 
pursuant to an underwriting agreement for the shortfall from the exercise of listed options which expired 
on  the  30  June  2018.  100,000  additional  ordinary  shares  were  issued  following  the  exercise  of  unlisted 
options exercisable at $1.00 each. 

On  3  September  2018,  the  Company  announced  a  new  zone  of  gold  mineralisation  at  Cunneens 
Prospect within the Four Eagles Gold Project. 

On 30 October 2018, the Company announced that Diamond drilling had confirmed depth potential of 
high grade gold mineralisation at the Four Eagles Gold Project. 

On 28 November 2018, the annual general meeting of the Company was held in Melbourne where a new 
Constitution was adopted by shareholders. 

On 27 December 2018, the Company announced that the Tandarra Joint Venture Agreement had been 
executed. 

On 15 March 2019, the Company issued 8,680,000 ordinary fully paid shares at $1.50 to Gold Exploration 
Victoria Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd & 50% Joint Venture Partner 
of  the  Four  Eagles  Gold  Project)  which  raised  $13.02  million.  This  resulted  in  GEV  becoming  an  11% 
shareholder and our Company becoming fully funded through to 2022. 

On 12 March 2019, the Company announced exceptional high grade gold mineralisation intersected at 
Boyd’s Dam zone at the Four Eagles Gold Project. 

On 29 April 2019, the Company announced its best ever gold assay of 1,675g/t Au at Boyd’s Dam at the 
Four Eagles Gold Project. 

On  17  June  2019,  the  Company  lodged  a  prospectus  with  ASIC  and  ASX  in  respect  of  a  non-
renounceable entitlement offer of one option for every ten shares held at a subscription price of 2 cents 
per option to raise up to $157,785 before costs. Each Option will be exercisable into one fully paid share 
in the Company at $2.45 each on or before 31 May 2022. 

Our Technical Director Bruce Kay publicly stated that “He believed that our Company controls one of the 
great gold belts of the world – which has never really been explored before”. To get a better feel for the 
thinking  behind  this  statement,  I  would  commend  all  shareholders  to  read  the  detailed  “Review  of 
Operations” section which appears in the Directors’ Report of this annual report. 

In closing off on another “best year yet” for our Company - your Board would like to again acknowledge 
and thank all of its many loyal shareholders (old and new), our Joint Venture Partners, and our incredible 
technical and corporate teams for everything they have done to enhance your Company in 2019, as the 
Company continues to position itself to make a future major high grade gold discovery in Victoria.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS  

The Company’s exploration program through 2018/19 focussed on its advanced gold discoveries at the 
Four Eagles and Tandarra joint venture projects, while continuing to progress reconnaissance activities 
throughout  its  prospective  exploration  licences.    Significant  developments  during  the  financial  year 
included the following: 

  Material advancement of the Four Eagles Gold Project: 

o 

o 

o 

o 

o 

the progressive upgrade of understanding of the structural controls of gold mineralisation 
and shapes of individual mineralised bodies within the Boyd’s Dam prospect; 
including  the  best-ever  intersection  from  Boyd’s  Dam  gold  prospect  (8m  @  212.3g/t  Au 
including 1.0m @ 1,675g/t Au); 
the  commencement  of  geotechnical,  hydrogeological  and  environmental  studies  to 
investigate some of the engineering practicalities of mine development at Boyd’s Dam; 
the continued exploration of Boyd North mineralisation revealing multiple parallel plunging 
gold-mineralised zones; 
intersections  in  deeper  diamond  drilling  indicating  the  presence  and  extended  strike 
length of repeat gold-mineralised structures beneath Boyd’s Dam; and

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

o 

the intersection of gold mineralisation within the line of strike and in newly identified 
structures at Pickles and Cunneens gold prospects. 

  Material advancement of the Tandarra Gold Project: 

o 

o 

o 

o 

o 

the grant of Retention Licence RL006660, providing secure title for a further ten (10) years 
over the Tomorrow gold prospect and associated mineralised zones; 
the formation of the Tandarra Joint Venture between JV partners Catalyst Metals Limited 
and Navarre Minerals Limited 
the southerly extension of the strike length of the Tomorrow gold  prospect by 300 metres 
and the potential for additional southerly strike extension 
the confirmation by diamond drilling of multiple parallel gold-mineralised horizons at depth 
beneath the Tomorrow Zone,  mimicking the multiple shallow-plunging mineralised zones 
which characterise the Bendigo goldfield; and 
the demonstration by air core drilling of significant gold mineralisation in the southern 
extension of the Macnaughtan gold-mineralised zone. 

 

Significant reconnaissance results at Drummartin 
o 

Interpretation of gravity geophysical data at Drummartin has identified numerous targets 
for future reconnaissance drilling. 

WHITELAW BELT 

The  Whitelaw Belt is the structural zone thought to control the location of the Bendigo gold  prospects, 
which extends in a generally northerly direction within favourable Ordovician rocks beneath a covering 
veneer  of  younger  Murray  Basin  sediments.    Similarly,  parallel  structural  belts  extend  northwards  from 
adjacent  goldfields  beneath  this  cover;  including  those  hosting  the  Fosterville  and  Inglewood  mining 
centres.  (Figure 1).  Catalyst has significant interests in thirteen  (13) exploration licences (EL’s)  and two 
Retention Licences  (RL’s) covering most of the known Whitelaw Belt and portions of adjacent, parallel 
belts (Figure 1).  The area covered totals approximately 2,100 square kilometres. 

In particular, the Company’s Four Eagles and Tandarra projects, (respectively about 55 and 40 kilometres 
north-north-west of Bendigo) contain potentially economic gold prospects similar in style to those of the 
historic  Bendigo  goldfield  (Figure  1).    In  addition  to  these  gold  prospects  identified  and  outlined  by 
Catalyst, these structural zones remain untested or at best sparsely tested and highly prospective for the 
discovery of new gold prospects of the Bendigo and Fosterville styles.  

EXPLORATION RESULTS 

All  available  detailed  exploration  data  has  been  released  during  the  2019  financial  year  in  quarterly 
reports, presentations and special ASX announcements and the reader is referred to this information in 
addition to the brief summary presented in this report. 

FOUR EAGLES GOLD PROJECT (RL006422, EL5295, EL5508, EL006859, EL006887) 

The Four Eagles Gold Project is a joint venture between Catalyst 100% owned subsidiary Kite Gold Pty Ltd 
and Gold Exploration Victoria Pty Ltd (GEV) (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd).  
The  project  is  managed  by  Catalyst  and  is  jointly  funded  (50:50)  by  Catalyst  and  GEV  within  the  Four 
Eagles Joint Venture. 

The Four Eagles Joint Venture includes RL006422 and several adjoining EL’s.  The RL covers an envelope 
of gold mineralisation about 6 kilometres long and 2.5 kilometres wide with high grade gold occurring in 
at least three structural zones trending roughly north-south (Boyd’s Dam-Boyd North, Hayanmi and Pickles; 
as  detailed  on  Figure  2).    Additional  prospective  structural  zones  are  shown  including  the  Cunneens 
Prospect to the west. They have been identified by interpretation of detailed gravity geophysical datasets 
but are as yet only lightly explored.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

At  Boyd’s  Dam,  diamond  drilling  and  reverse  circulation  drilling  results  improved  definition  of  the 
continuity, shapes and structural controls of the mineralisation.  At depth, diamond drill holes continued 
the definition of gently south-plunging mineralised zones parallel to shallower mineralisation, as illustrated 
in  longitudinal  projection  (Figure  3).    Assays  are  outstanding  for  the  most  recent  holes,  potentially 
extending deeper mineralisation at Boyd’s Dam to the south.  Amongst the intersections in hand was the 
richest  yet  recorded  from  the  field  –  8m  @  212.3g/t  Au  from  84  metres  in  FERC236,  including  
1m @ 1,675g/t  Au.  This intercept included an exceptional quantity of coarse-grained visible gold as is 
expected occasionally in this style of mineralisation (Plate 1). 

At Boyd North, ongoing reverse circulation drilling yielded intersections of high grade gold and improved 
definition of prospect outline, including multiple parallel plunging zones (Figure 2).  

Preliminary geotechnical, hydrogeological and ecological investigations have been initiated over Boyd’s 
Dam/Boyd North and Hayanmi and adjacent areas to assess engineering and permitting priorities to be 
incorporated in conceptual mining studies. 

Elsewhere in the Four Eagles Gold Project (Figure 3), assays are awaited from four diamond drill holes, the 
first completed at Pickles Prospect, which revealed structural complexity and geological indications of 
multiple  mineralised  features.    Additional  traverses  of  reconnaissance  air  core  drilling  at  Cunneens 
Prospect encountered gold mineralisation, defining a second, parallel mineralised zone and enhancing 
the overall prospectivity of this still lightly-tested feature.

TANDARRA GOLD PROJECT (RL006660) 

Following  the  completion  of  $3.0  million  earn-in  expenditure  by  Catalyst  late  in  2017-18,  the  parties  in 
accord with their agreement formed the Tandarra Gold Project as a joint venture between Catalyst 100% 
owned subsidiary Kite Operations Pty Ltd and Navarre Minerals Ltd (Navarre).  The project is managed by 
Catalyst and is jointly funded (51:49) by Catalyst and Navarre.  

A  second  significant  milestone  was  accomplished  with  the  grant  over  the  Project’s  land  of  Retention 
Licence 006660 in place of the former EL4897.  The 10-year life of RL006660 provides a secure title within 
which  the  joint  venture  can  continue  the  exploration,  evaluation  and  economic  assessment  of  the 
Tomorrow gold prospect and adjacent prospects.  

At  the  main  Tomorrow  gold  prospect,  reverse  circulation  drilling  improved  definition  of  the  controlling 
structures and mineralised outlines and confirmed an approximately 300 metre increase in strike length to 
the south of previously outlined mineralisation (Figures 4 & 5).  The extension remains open to the south. 
A  diamond  drilling  program  was  completed  to  test  shallow  plunging  gold  prospects  at  depth  below 
Tomorrow  Zone,  identified  in  2017-18  and  illustrated  in  Figure  5.    Geologically,  these  appear  to  be 
confirmed (assay results pending). 

The  southern  end  of  the  Macnaughtan  gold-mineralised  zone  was  significantly  upgraded  by  gold 
intersected in two of three scout air core drilling traverses.

OTHER BENDIGO REGION EXPLORATION 

Early-stage reconnaissance exploration was undertaken on several EL’s in the Company’s 100% owned  
or partner-owned tenements.  In most cases this work provided foundations for more extensive or detailed 
surveys  in  2019-20  and  beyond,  and  where  significant  was  reported  in  progressive  reports  to  ASX  and 
shareholders.  

The most important results included: 

 

 

 

The  intersection  of  previously  unknown  gold  mineralisation in  scout  RAB  drilling  at  the  northern 
end of the Golden Camel exploration licences (Figure 1) 
The completion of initial limited scout air core drill traverses across several targets in the western 
part of Drummartin (EL006670), yielding modest geological and geochemical encouragement; 
followed by an extensive detailed gravity survey over the eastern part of the exploration licence 
and interpretation of resulting datasets to identify significant anomalies and drilling targets, along 
strike to the north of the well-documented gold mineralisation at Lockington (Figure 1); and 
The drill-testing of gravity targets within the Macorna Bore and adjacent exploration licence at 
the northern end of the Whitelaw tenement block, with results confirming well-defined zones of 
arsenic anomalism, commonly associated with gold mineralisation elsewhere in the region. 

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS 

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year. 

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS 

During the course of the next financial year, the Group will continue its mineral exploration activities and 
will investigate additional resources projects in which the Group may participate.  

In the opinion of the Directors there is no additional information available as at the date of this report on 
any  likely  developments  which  may  materially  affect  the  operations  of  the  Group  and  the  expected 
results of those operations in subsequent years.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

Directors and executives remuneration 
Overall  remuneration  policies  are  determined  by  the  Board  and  are  adapted  to  reflect  competitive 
market and business conditions.   Within this framework, the  Board considers remuneration policies and 
practices generally, and determines specific remuneration packages and other terms of employment for 
any  executive  Directors  and  senior  management.    Executive  remuneration  and  other  terms  of 
employment are reviewed annually by the Board having regard to performance, relevant comparative 
information and expert advice. 

The  Group’s  remuneration  policy  for  any  Executive  Directors  and  senior  management  is  designed  to 
promote superior performance and long term commitment to the Group.  Remuneration packages are 
set  at  levels  that  are  intended  to  attract  and  retain  executives  capable  of  managing  the  Group’s 
operations. 

Executive Directors and senior executives receive a base remuneration which is market related, together 
with  performance  based  remuneration  linked  to  the  achievement  of  pre-determined  milestones  and 
targets.  

The  Group’s  remuneration  policies  are  designed  to  align  executives’  remuneration  with  shareholders’ 
interests and to retain appropriately qualified executive talent for the benefit of  the Group.  The  main 
principles of the policy are: 
- 
- 

reward reflects the competitive market in which the Group operates; and 
individual reward should be linked to performance criteria. 

The  structure  of  remuneration  packages  for  any  Executive  Directors  and  other  senior  executives 
comprises: 
-  a fixed sum base salary plus superannuation benefits; 
- 

short  term  incentives  through  eligibility  to  participate  in  a  performance  bonus  scheme  if  deemed 
appropriate; and 
long  term  incentives  through  any  Executive  Directors  being  eligible  to  participate  in  share  option 
schemes with the prior approval of shareholders.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

REMUNERATION REPORT (Continued) 

Fixed and variable remuneration is established for each Executive Director by the Board.  The objective 
of short term incentives is to link achievement of the Group’s operational targets with the remuneration 
received by executives charged with meeting those targets.  The objective of long term incentives is to 
reward  executives  in  a  manner  which  aligns  this  element  of  their  remuneration  with  the  creation  of 
shareholder  wealth.  Performance  incentives  may  be  offered  to  any  Executive  Directors  and  senior 
management through the operation of performance bonus schemes.  A performance bonus, based on 
a percentage of annual salary, may be payable upon achievement of agreed operational milestones 
and targets. 

Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration 
In accordance with current corporate governance practices, the structure for the remuneration of Non-
Executive Directors and senior executives is separate and distinct.  Shareholders approve the maximum 
fees payable to Non-Executive Directors, with the current approved limit being $400,000 per annum.  The 
Board is responsible for determining actual payments to Directors.  Non-Executive Directors are entitled 
to  statutory  superannuation  benefits.    The  Board  approves  any  consultancy  arrangements  for  Non-
Executive  Directors  who  provide  services  outside  of  and  in  addition  to  their  duties  as  Non-Executive 
Directors. 

Non-Executive  Directors  may  be  entitled  to  participate  in  equity  based  remuneration  schemes.  
Shareholders  must  approve  the  framework  for  any  equity  based  compensation  schemes  and  if  a 
recommendation is made for a Director to participate in an equity scheme, that participation must be 
specifically approved by the shareholders. 

All Directors are entitled to have premiums on indemnity insurance paid by the Group. 

At the 2018 AGM, 100% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the 
year ended 30 June 2018. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its 
remuneration practices.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out 
below.    These  policies  have  been  consistently  applied  to  all  the  years  presented,  unless  otherwise 
stated. 

(a)  New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for 
the current reporting period. 

The  adoption  of  AASB  9  Financial  Instruments  from  1  July  2018  has  not  affected  balances  of  the 
consolidated entity because no financial instrument held by the consolidated entity is recognised or 
measured  differently  by  this  standard.  The  consolidated  entity  has  no  expected  credit  losses  on 
financial instruments.  

The adoption of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018 has not affected 
balances of the  consolidated entity because no revenue or potential revenue of the  consolidated 
entity is recognised or measured differently by this standard.  

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

(b) 

Basis of preparation 
These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board 
('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial 
statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where 
applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair 
value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment 
and derivative financial instruments. 

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

Parent entity information 
In accordance with the Corporations  Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the 
consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 25. 

Principles of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Catalyst 
Metals Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the 
year then ended. Catalyst Metal Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial 
statements as the 'consolidated entity'. 

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  entities  over  which  the  consolidated  entity  has  control.    The  consolidated 
entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns 
from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct 
the  activities  of  the  entity.  Subsidiaries  are  fully  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is 
transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

(d)  

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

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

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of 
changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed 
to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance. 

Where  the  consolidated  entity  loses  control  over  a  subsidiary,  it  derecognises  the  assets  including 
goodwill,  liabilities  and  non-controlling  interest  in  the  subsidiary  together  with  any  cumulative 
translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the 
consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in 
profit or loss. 

(e)  Operating segments 

Operating  segments  are  presented  using  the  'management  approach',  where  the  information 
presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers 
('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing 
their performance. 

(f) 

Revenue 
Revenue  from  contracts  with  customers  is  recognised  based  on  the  transfer  of  promised  goods  or 
services to customers with an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to 
be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable 
to the financial assets. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. 

(g) 

Impairment 
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to 
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication 
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell 
and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value 
over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement. 

Where 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. 

 (h)  Cash and cash equivalents 

For  the  purpose  of  the cash  flow  statement,  cash  includes  cash  on hand  and  at  call  deposits  with 
banks or financial institutions and investments in money market instruments with less than 30 days to 
maturity. 

(i) 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any 
allowance for expected credit losses.

(j)  

Financial instruments 
Recognition and Initial Measurement 

Financial  assets  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  if  they  are  held  within  a  business  model  whose 
objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and 
are solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are classified and measured at fair 
value  through  profit  or  loss  unless  the  entity  makes  an  irrevocable  election  on  initial  recognition  to 
present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive 
income.  

Financial assets may be impaired based on an expected credit loss model to recognise an allowance. 
Such impairment is measured with a 12-month expected credit loss model unless the credit risk on a 
financial  instrument  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition  in  which  case  the  lifetime 
expected credit loss model is adopted 

For financial liabilities, the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the Group’s credit risk is 
presented in other comprehensive income. 

Fair value  
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques 
are  applied  to  determine  the  fair  value  for  all  unlisted  securities,  including  recent  arm’s  length 
transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.  

Impairment  
At  each  reporting  date,  the  Group  assesses  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a  financial 
instrument  has  been  impaired.  In  the  case  of  available-for-sale  financial  instruments,  a  prolonged 
decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. 
Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. 

(k) 

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 
Exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  incurred  by  or  on  behalf  of  the  Group  is  accumulated 
separately for each area of interest.  Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate 
portion of related overhead expenditure.   Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known 
or probable mineral resource capable of supporting a mining operation. 

Exploration expenditure for each area of interest is written off as incurred, except that it may be carried 
forward provided that such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and 
exploitation of the area of interest or, alternatively, by its sale. 

The Group performs impairment testing when facts and circumstances suggest the carrying amount 
has been impaired.  If it was determined that the asset was impaired it would be immediately written 
off to the income statement.  

Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest unless the Group’s right of tenure 
to that area of interest is current.  Expenditures incurred before the Group has obtained legal rights to 
explore  a  specific  area  is  expensed  as  incurred.    Amortisation  is  not  charged  on  areas  under 
development, pending commencement of production. 

(l) 

Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the  Group prior to the end of 
the financial year which are unpaid.  The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days 
of recognition.

Provisions 
Provisions  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  management’s  best  estimate  of  the  expenditure 
required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. 

Employee entitlements 
Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  annual  leave  and  long  service 
leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities 
in  respect  of  employees'  services  up  to  the  reporting  date  and  are  measured  at  the  amounts 
expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be  settled within 12 months of 
the reporting date are recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to 
defer  settlement  of  the  liability.  The  liability  is  measured  as  the  present  value  of  expected  future 
payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using 
the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, 
experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted 
using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and 
currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

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

Share-based payments 
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

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

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

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

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined 
by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the 
terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until 
settlement of the liability is calculated as follows: 
  during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that 

 

date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period. 
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of 
the liability at the reporting date.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

Share-based payments (continued) 
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions 
is the cash paid to settle the liability. 

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

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

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

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

(o) 

Income tax 
Current tax  
Current  tax  is  calculated  by  reference  to  the  amount  of  income  taxes  payable  or  recoverable  in 
respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the year. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that 
have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior years 
is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). 

Deferred tax 
Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of 
temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in 
the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items. 

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax 
assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available 
against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. 

However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise 
to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities  (other than as a result of a business 
combination)  which  affects  neither  taxable income  nor  accounting  profit.  Furthermore,  a  deferred 
tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  at  the  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  apply  to  the 
year(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and 
tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. 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 reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets 
and liabilities. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  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 is recognised as  an expense or income in the income statement, except 
when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also 
recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, 
in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.

(p) 

Earnings per share 
Basic  earnings  per  share  is  determined  by  dividing  the  profit  from  ordinary  activities  after  related 
income  tax  expense  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  outstanding  during  the 
financial year. 

(q)  Goods and services tax (GST) 

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

•  where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation 
authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as 
part of the expense item as applicable;  and 
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. 

• 

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

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

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

(r) 

Property, Plant and Equipment 
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated 
depreciation  and  any  accumulated  impairment.    In  the  event  the  carrying  amount  of  plant  and 
equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down 
immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised in profit or 
loss.  A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present. 

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by  Directors to ensure it is not in 
excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis 
of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent 
disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining 
recoverable amounts. 

Depreciation 
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-
line basis over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is 
held ready for use. 

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset 

Computer equipment 

Furniture, fittings and equipment 

Depreciation Rate 

25%-33.33% 

33.33% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of 
each reporting period. 

An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s 
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These 
gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income.

Issued Capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a 
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

(t)   Current and non-current classification 

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

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

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

(u)  

Joint ventures 
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement 
have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using 
the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the joint venture is 
recognised  in  profit  or  loss  and  the  share  of  the  movements  in  equity  is  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive income. Investments in joint ventures are carried in the statement of financial position 
at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share of net assets of the joint venture. 
Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither 
amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Income earned from joint venture entities reduce the 
carrying amount of the investment. 

(v) 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but 
are  not  yet  mandatory,  have  not  been  early  adopted  by  the  consolidated  entity  for  the  annual 
reporting period ended 30 June 2019.  The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these 
new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, 
are set out below. 

AASB 16 Leases 
This  standard  is  applicable  to  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2019.  The 
standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases 
and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of 
financial  position,  measured  as  the  present  value  of  the  unavoidable  future  lease  payments  to  be 
made over the lease term.  The exceptions relate to short -term leases of 12 months or less and leases 
of  low-value  assets  (such  as  personal  computers  and  small  office  furniture)  where  an  accounting 
policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed 
to profit or loss as incurred.  A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, 
adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate 
of  any  future  restoration,  removal  or  dismantling  costs.    Straight-line  operating  lease  expense 
recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating 
costs)  and  an  interest  expense  on  the  recognised  lease  liability  (included  in  finance  costs).    In  the 
earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when 
compared to lease expenses under AASB 117.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

However, EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved 
as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 
16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both 
a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For 
lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases.  The 
consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019. The impact of the new leases standard is 
that leased asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present 
value  of  the  unavoidable  future  lease  payments  to  be  made  over  the  lease  term  and  a  liability 
corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease 
incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or 
dismantling costs. 

Management have estimated there will be no material impact from the adoption of this standard. 

2. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS 

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

Share-based payment transactions 
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference 
to  the  fair  value  of  the  equity  instruments  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.  The  fair  value  is 
determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and 
conditions upon which the instruments were granted.  

The  accounting  estimates  and  assumptions  relating  to  equity-settled  share-based  payments  would 
have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period 
but may impact profit or loss and equity. 

Exploration and evaluation costs 
The Group's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in note 1(k). The application of 
this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future 
events and circumstances, in particular the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves 
may  be  found.    Any  such  estimates  and  assumptions  may  change  as  new  information  becomes 
available.

 The  Group  has  $16,332,042  (2018:  $14,912,895)  tax  losses  arising  in  Australia  that  are  available  
 indefinitely for offset against future profit of the companies in which the losses arose. 

 The potential deferred tax asset of $4,491,312 (2018: $4,101,046), arising from tax losses and temporary  
 differences (as disclosed above), has not been recognised as an asset because recovery of tax losses  
 and temporary differences is not considered probable. 

 The potential deferred tax asset will only be obtained if: 

- 

- 

- 

the relevant Group derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient 
to enable the benefit to be realised; 
the relevant Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax 
legislation; and 
no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the relevant Group in realising the benefit from 
the deduction for the losses.

Financial Instruments (Continued) 

Market Risks 

Interest rate risks  

The Group’s exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s 
short-term deposits with a floating interest rate. These financial assets with variable rates expose the 
Group to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables 
and payables are non-interest bearing. The Group does not engage in any hedging or derivative 
transactions to manage interest rate risk. 

Interest rate sensitivity 

At 30 June 2019, if interest rates had changed by  100 basis points during the entire year with all 
other  variables  held  constant,  profit  for  the  year  and  equity  would  have  been  $158,975  (2018: 
$49,541)  lower/higher,  mainly  as  a  result  of  lower/higher  interest  income  from  cash  and  cash 
equivalents. 

A sensitivity of 100 basis points has been selected as this is considered reasonably possible in the 
current economic environment. Based on the sensitivity analysis only interest revenue from variable 
rate  deposits  and  cash  balances  are  impacted  resulting  in  a  decrease  or  increase  in  overall 
income. 

Credit risk  

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount (net of provision of 
doubtful  debts)  of  those  assets  as  disclosed  in  the  balance  sheet  and  notes  to  the  financial 
statements. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and 
obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss 
from defaults. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously 
monitored  and  the  aggregate  value  of  transactions  concluded  is  spread  amongst  approved 
counterparties. 

Liquidity risk 

The  responsibility  for  liquidity  risk  management  rests  with  the  Board  of  Directors.    The  Group 
manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  sufficient  cash  or  credit  facilities  to  meet  the  operating 
requirements of the business and investing excess funds in highly liquid short term investments. 

22. 

Segment Information 

The Group operates predominantly in one business segment and in one geographical location. 
The operations of the Group consist of mineral exploration, within Australia. 

23. 

Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets 

The Group does not have any contingent liabilities or contingent assets at 30 June 2019 

24. 

Subsequent Events 

In June 2019 the Company lodged a prospectus for an Entitlements Issue for 1 option for every 10 
shares  held  to  raise  $157,785  by  each  applicant  paying  $0.02  per  option.    The  options  are 
exercisable at $2.45 and expire on 31 May 2022.  In August and September the Company advised 
that 7,889,250 options had been allotted, to raise the full amount of $157,785.

which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2019,  the  consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, 
and  the  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  notes  to  the  financial  statements, 
including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies  and  other  explanatory  information,  and  the  directors' 
declaration.  

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

(i)  giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group’s  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2019  and  of  its  financial 

performance for the year then ended; and 

(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for Opinion

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

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

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

Key Audit Matters

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

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 
Refer to Note 10 in the Financial Statements 
The  Group  has  capitalised  exploration  and 
evaluation  expenditure  with  a  carrying  value  of 
$1,956,481 as at 30 June 2019.  

Our audit procedures included:  
  Ensuring that the right to tenure of the area of interest 

was current; 

We considered this to be a key audit matter due to 
the  significant  management  judgments  involved  in 
assessing the carrying value of the asset including:  
  Determination  of  whether  the  exploration  and 
evaluation  expenditure  can  be  associated  with 
finding specific mineral resources and the basis 
on  which  that  expenditure  is  allocated  to  an 
area of interest;  
  Assessing  whether 

of 
impairment  are  present  and  if  so,  judgement 
applied 
to  determine  and  quantify  any 
impairment loss; and 

indicators 

any 

  Assessing  whether  exploration  activities  have 
reached  a  stage  at  which  the  existence  of 
economically  recoverable  reserves  may  be 
determined.  

  Agreeing  a  sample  of  additions 

to  supporting 
documentation  and  ensuring  the  amounts  are  capital 
in nature and relate to the area of interest;  

  Enquiring  with  management  and  reviewing  budgets 
and other documentation as evidence that active and 
significant  operations  in,  or  relation  to,  the  area  of 
interest will be continued in the future;  

  Assessing and evaluating management’s assessment 
of  whether  indicators  of  impairment  existed  at  the 
reporting date;  

  Assessing  that  the  impairment  expensed  recognised 

for the year ended was appropriately calculated; and 

  Through  discussions  with 

the  management  and 
review  of  the  Board  Minutes,  ASX  announcements 
relevant  documentation,  assessing 
and  other 
management’s 
exploration 
activities have not  yet progressed to the stage where 
the  existence  or  otherwise  of  economically 
recoverable reserves may be determined.

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 2019, but does not include the financial report 
and the auditor's report thereon.  

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

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

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

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

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

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

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

A  further  description  of  our  responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  is  located  at  the  Auditing  and 
Assurance  Standards  Board  website  at:  http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf.  This 
description forms part of our auditor's report.
