The Company does not have a formally constituted audit and risk committee or remuneration and nomination 
committee as the Board considers that the Company’s size and type of operation do not warrant the formation of 
such  committees.  The  Board  performs  the  role  of  these  committees  and  items  that  are  usually  required  to  be 
discussed by these committees are marked as separate Board meeting agenda items, as and when required. 

2. 

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

The principal activity of the Group during the financial year was mineral exploration and evaluation activities as 
well  as  seeking  out  further  exploration,  acquisition  and  joint  venture  opportunities.  There  were  no  significant 
changes in the nature of the Group’s principal activities during the financial period. 

3. 

OPERATING RESULTS & FINANCIAL POSITION 

The Group’s loss after tax for the year was $2,124,956 (2022: $1,740,579). The Group’s net assets at the end of the 
year are $14,033,504 (2022: $15,931,190). 

Cash and cash equivalents as at year end were $3,818,431 (2022: $6,901,309).  

Exploration  expenditure,  including  tenement  acquisitions,  totalled  $2,839,082  for  the  year  (2022:  $1,755,001).  The 
main  expenditure  was  on  its  new  Canadian  projects,  Ashburton,  Halls  Creek  and  new  project  generation. 
Exploration expenditure written off for the year was $636,964 (2022: $186,809) and related to new project generation 
costs  and expenditures  associated with  various  projects,  tenements  and  applications  that  were relinquished  or 
written off during the financial year.  

Net administration expenses and employee benefits for the year totalled $979,688 (2022: $827,045).

Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

During this next financial year the Group intends to continue to further develop its current core projects whilst also 
exploring new key commodity opportunities both in Australia and overseas. 

4. 

RISKS 

There are risks that specifically relate to the Company’s current mode of Operations. The following is not intended 
to be an exhaustive list of risk factors to which the Company may be exposed. 

(a) Tenure, access and grant of applications 

Mining  and  exploration  tenements  are  subject  to  periodic  renewal.  There  is  no  guarantee  that  the  Company's 
tenements will be renewed (nor that any future tenement applications will be granted). 

The Company's projects are subject to relevant mining legislation. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement 
is also subject to government discretion and the Company’s ability to meet the conditions imposed by relevant 
authorities,  including  compliance  with  the  Company’s  work  program  requirements,  is  not  certain.  Renewal 
conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of 
the tenements comprising the Company's projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those 
conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company. 

There is no assurance that such renewals will be given as a matter of course and there is no assurance that new 
conditions  will  not  be  imposed  by  the  relevant  granting  authority.  The  consequence  of  forfeiture  or  involuntary 
surrender of a granted tenement for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant. In addition, 
the Company is subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, tenement holders are required to expend 
the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the tenements. Failure to meet these 
work commitments may render the tenement liable to be cancelled or its size reduced. 

There is also a risk of inability to access the land required for operations on tenements. This may, for example, be 
as  a  result  of  weather,  environmental  restraints,  native  title,  landholder’s  activities,  regulatory  or  third-party 
objections or other factors. Such difficulties may cause delays and cost overruns and may prevent the carrying out 
of activities on tenements.  

Interests in tenure may also be compromised or lost due to third party interests or claims. 

(b) Future capital requirements 

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Additional funding may be required and may 
be raised by the Company via the issues of equity, debt or a combination of debt and equity or asset sales. Any 
additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on 
financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be 
required to reduce the scope of its proposed operations and scale back its exploration, studies and development 
programmes as the case may be. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional 
funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company. 

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce, delay or suspend 
its  operations  and  this  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  activities  and  could  affect  the 
Company's ability to continue as a going concern or remain solvent. 

(c) Reliance on key personnel 

The  Company  is  reliant  on  a  number  of  key  personnel  and  consultants.  The  loss  of  one  or  more  of  these  key 
contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company. It may be difficult for the Company 
to continue to attract and retain suitable qualified and experienced people. 

(d) New projects and acquisitions 

The Company may make acquisitions in the future as part of future growth plans. In this regard, the Directors will 
use  their  expertise  and  experience  in  the  resources  sector  to  assess  the  value  of  potential  projects  that  have 
characteristics that the Directors consider are likely to provide returns to Shareholders.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

There can be no guarantee that any new project acquisition or investment will eventuate from these pursuits, or 
that any acquisitions will result in a return for Shareholders. Such acquisitions may result in use of the Company’s 
cash resources and/or the issuance of equity securities, which will dilute shareholdings. 

(e) Native title, cultural heritage and sacred sites 

Mining tenements in Australia are subject to native title laws and may be subject to future native title applications. 
Native title may preclude or delay granting of exploration and mining tenements or the ability of the Company to 
explore,  develop  and/or  commercialise  the  mining  tenements.  Considerable  expenses  may  be  incurred 
negotiating and resolving issues, including any compensation agreements reached in settling native title claims 
lodged over any of the mining tenements held or acquired by the Company. 

The  presence  of  Aboriginal  sacred  sites  and  cultural  heritage  artefacts  on  mining  tenements  is  protected  by 
Western Australian and Commonwealth laws. Any destruction or harming of such sites and artefacts may result in 
the Company incurring significant fines and court injunctions. The existence of such sites may limit or preclude 
exploration or mining activities on those sites, which may cause delays and additional expenses for the Company 
in obtaining clearances. 

(f) Political Risk 

The  Company  has  interests  in  exploration  licences  in  Namibia  and  Canada.  Mineral  exploration  tenure  in  both 
countries is governed by their own legislation. 

Its interests in Namibia and Canada will be subject to the risks associated with operating in a foreign country. These 
risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency non-convertibility or 
instability  and  changes  of  law  affecting  foreign  ownership,  heritage  and  native  title  laws,  exchange  control, 
exploration  licensing,  export  duties,  investment  into  a  foreign  country  and  repatriation  of  income  or  return  of 
capital, environmental protection, land access and environmental regulation, mine safety, labour relations as well 
as government control over petroleum properties or government regulations that require the employment of local 
staff or contractors or require other benefits be provided to local residents.  

Any  future  material  adverse  changes  in  government  policies  or  legislation  in  Namibia  or  Canada  that  affect 
ownership, mineral exploration, development or mining activities, may affect the viability and profitability of the 
Company.  

(g) Results of Studies 

Subject to the results of any future exploration and testing programs, the Company may progressively undertake 
a number of studies in respect to the Company’s current projects or any new projects. These studies may include 
scoping studies, pre-feasibility studies and bankable feasibility studies. 

These  studies  may  not  occur,  but  if  they  are  completed,  they  would  be  prepared  within  certain  parameters 
designed  to  determine  the  economic  feasibility  of  the  relevant  project  within  certain  limits.  There  can  be  no 
guarantee that any of the studies will confirm the economic viability of the Company’s projects or the results of 
other studies undertaken by the Company (e.g. the results of a feasibility study may materially differ to the results 
of a scoping study). 

Further, even if a study determines the economics of the Company’s projects, there can be no guarantee that the 
projects  will  be  successfully  brought  into  production  as  assumed  or  within  the  estimated  parameters  in  the 
feasibility study, once production commences including but not limited to operating costs, mineral recoveries and 
commodity prices. 

In addition, the ability of the Company to complete a study would be dependent on the Company’s ability to raise 
further funds to complete the study as required.

Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

(h) Resource and Reserve estimates 

Ore reserve and mineral resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on drilling results, past experience 
with mining properties, knowledge, experience, industry practice and many other factors. Estimates which are valid 
when made may change substantially when new information becomes available. Mineral resource and ore reserve 
estimation is an interpretive process based on available data and interpretations and thus estimations may prove 
to be inaccurate. There is no guarantee that any of the Company's projects will become feasible and consequently 
no forecast is made of whether or not any ore reserve will be defined in future. 

The actual quality and characteristics of mineral deposits cannot be known until mining takes place and will almost 
always differ from the assumptions used to develop resources. Further, ore reserves are valued based on future 
costs and future prices and, consequently, the actual ore reserves and mineral resources may differ from those 
estimated, which may result in either a positive or negative effect on operations. 

Should  the  Company  encounter  mineralisation  or  formations  different  from  those  predicted  by  past  drilling, 
sampling and similar examinations, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to 
be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company’s operations. 

(i) Exploration Risks 

Mineral exploration and development are high risk undertakings due to the various levels of inherent uncertainty. 
There  can  be  no  assurance  that  exploration  of  the  Group’s  tenements,  or  of  any  other  tenements  that  may  be 
acquired  by  the  Group  in  the  future,  will  result  in  the  discovery  of  economic  mineralisation.  Even  if  economic 
mineralisation is discovered there is no guarantee that it can be commercially exploited. 

(j) Environmental liabilities risk 

The  Company’s  activities  are  subject  to  potential  risks  and  liabilities  associated  with  (without  limitation)  the 
potential  pollution  of  the  environment  and  the  necessary  disposal  of  waste  products  resulting  from  mineral 
exploration  and  development.  Insurance  against  environmental  risk  (including  potential  liability  for  pollution  or 
other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration is not generally available to 
the  Company  (or  to  other  companies  in  the  minerals  industry)  at  a  reasonable  price.  To  the  extent  that  the 
Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the satisfaction of any such liabilities would reduce funds 
otherwise  available  to  the  Company  and  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company.  Laws  and 
regulations  intended  to  ensure  the  protection  of  the  environment  are  constantly  changing  and  are  generally 
becoming more restrictive. 

(k) Climate change risk 

There  are  a  number  of  climate-related  factors  that  may  affect  the  operations  and  financial  position  of  the 
Company. Climate change or prolonged periods of adverse weather and climatic conditions (including rising sea 
levels, floods, hail, drought, water, scarcity, temperature extremes and earthquakes) may have an adverse effect 
of the Company's activities and/or the Company's future financial performance. 

Changes  in  policy,  technological  innovation  and/or  consumer/investor  preferences  may  also  adversely  impact 
the  operations  and  financial  position  of  the  Company  or  may  result  in  less  favourable  pricing  for  its  product, 
particular in the event of a transition to a lower carbon economy. 

(l) Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risks 

The Company is exposed to the risks of commodity price volatility and exchange rate fluctuations affecting the 
Company's costs. 

Also, if the Company achieves success leading to mineral production (which may never occur), the revenue it will 
derive  through  the  sale  of  product  will  expose  the  potential  income  of  the  Company  to  commodity  price  and 
exchange rate risks.

SAFETY 

The Company has safe work management systems in place and continues to follow safe work practices.  No lost 
time injuries (LTI’s) or incidents occurred since the lodgement of the 2022 annual report. 

CANADA 

Sundown Lithium Project (CAZ 25%, earning up to 100%) 

On  31  May  and  1  June  2023,  the  Company  announced  it  had  entered  into  a  binding  agreement  to  acquire  the 

Sundown  Lithium  Project,  located  in  the  world-class  James  Bay  lithium  province  (Figure  1).  The  region  is  an 

emerging  world  class lithium district,  host 

to  several  advanced  lithium  projects  and 

new lithium discoveries. 

The  Sundown  project 

represents  a 

significant  acquisition  for  the  Company, 

comprising 510 mining claims covering an 

area approximately 260km2 with over 200 

documented  outcropping  pegmatites 

(refer  CAZ  announcements  dated  31  May 

2023  and  1  June  2023).  The  pegmatites 

have never been sampled for lithium. 

The Sundown project (Figure 2) is located 

between Allkem Limited’s (ASX:AKE) James 

Bay  deposit  with  a  lithium  resource  of 

110.2Mt  at  1.3%  Li2O  (AKE  announcement 

dated  11  August  2023)  and  Patriot  Battery 

Metals  Inc’s  (ASX:PMT)  Corvette  lithium 

discovery with a lithium resource of 109.2Mt 
at 1.42% Li2O within a 214km2 land package 
(PMT announcement dated 30 July 2023). 

Figure 1. The Sundown Lithium Project, James Bay District 

Further recent successes in the region include Critical Elements Lithium Corporation’s Rose deposit (33Mt @ 0.92% 
Li2O) (announcement dated 29 August 2023 stating a NI 43-101 compliant resource dated 1 August 2023), Nemaska 
Lithium  Inc’s  Whabouchi  deposit  (53.7Mt  @  1.45%  Li2O)  (NI  43-101  Technical  Report  dated  21  February  2018)  and 
Winsome Resources Limited’s (ASX:WR1) Cancet and Adina lithium discoveries.  

The  Sundown  claims  have  received  little  modern  exploration  activity  and  the  significant  number  of  reported 
pegmatites is the result of exploration conducted by the Québec Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MERN), 
which included rock chip sampling and lake bottom sediment sampling with a focus on gold.

Subject 

to  satisfactory  due 

On  8  August  2023, 
the  Company 
announced  that  it  completed  its  due 
diligence  and  would  complete  the 
acquisition  of  the  Sundown 
lithium 
project.  The  material  terms  of  the 
property  option  agreement  between 
Cazaly  and 
1Minerals  Corp  are  as 
follows: 
1. 
Payment  of  a  non-refundable 
C$50,000  Option  Fee  for  a  2-month 
exclusive due diligence period (paid) 
2. 
diligence: 
a) 
Pay  C$350k  cash  (paid)  and 
C$600k in stock or cash; CAZ receives a 
25% equity (*). 
b) 
End Year 1: Pay C$250k cash and 
C$750k in stock or cash; CAZ to receive 
a 50% equity. 
c) 
End Year 2: Pay C$250k cash and 
C$750k in stock or cash; CAZ to receive 
a 75% equity. 
d) 
End Year 3: Pay C$250k cash and 
C$750k in stock or cash, CAZ to receive 
100% equity. 
e) 
receives  a  2%  net 
smelter royalty with Cazaly to retain an 
option to buy back 1% for C$1m. 

Vendor 

(*) As announced on 7 August 2023, after the completion of due diligence, the Company moved to a 25% holding 
in  the  Sundown  Lithium  Project  after  paying  C$350,000  and  issuing  19,065,535  CAZ  shares  (issued  on  11  August 
2023). The share issue was based on the CAZ VWAP for the period of 5 consecutive trading days on which shares 
are  traded  up  to  and  including  the  trading  day  prior  to  the  relevant  issue  date,  at  the  then  prevailing  C$/A$ 
exchange rate as published on the website of the Reserve Bank of Australia. 

Cazaly has completed target ranking of potential pegmatites based on satellite imagery, geological observations 
of pegmatite occurrences made by Québec’s MERN geologists, elevated levels of lithium in lake bottom sediment 
samples,  and  proximity  to  the  Gladman  Suite,  a  new  lithium prospective zone identified  by  MERN  geologists  in 
2022. The Gladman Suite is characterised by the presence of numerous E-W trending pegmatitic granite dykes and 
the presence of tourmaline, garnet and muscovite in these rocks indicates a hyperaluminous composition suitable 
for the development of lithium mineralisation. For a comprehensive list of all outcropping pegmatite locations for 
the Sundown lithium project please refer to Cazaly’s ASX announcement dated 31 May 2023. 

The western half of the property has significant exposure of outcrop and as such targeting in this area has identified 
two large priority areas to initially test for lithium bearing pegmatites. Two priority target areas were also identified 
on the eastern side of the property (Figure 3). 

Cazaly’s in-country team will conduct the first phase of exploration, that will consist of a reconnaissance field work 
program  and  rock  chip  sampling,  in  order  to  conduct  on-ground  assessments  at  key  targets  and  compare 
observations with historically documented reports. This will be the first lithium exploration on the project and all 
rock chip samples will be analysed for lithium and multi-element litho-chemical suite.

Figure 3. Sundown priority target areas 

Cazaly remains excited about the potential of the Sundown project however access was severely affected due to 
forest fires in the region. Access restrictions were eased in the last week of August 2023 as the fires abated and 
areas become safe to explore. A start to the initial field program is imminent. 

Cautionary Statement  

Reported  outcropping  pegmatite  occurrences  does  not  equate  to  lithium  mineralisation.  The  Company  is 
encouraged by the geology identified, however no quantitative or qualitative work has been completed by the 
company to assess the mineralisation potential at this stage. The initial fieldwork proposed by the Company will 
include rock chip sampling and assaying of outcrops identified as pegmatites to determine their mineralisation 
potential to report results under JORC code 2012. 

For further technical disclosures and references please refer to Cazaly announcements dated 31 May 2023, 1 June 
2023, 7 August 2023, 15 August 2023 and 4 September 2023. 

Carb Lake Rare Earth Elements Project (CAZ 100%) 

On 27 April and 3 May 2023, Cazaly announced it had secured an option agreement to acquire the Carb Lake rare 
earth elements project and following extensive due diligence, completed this 100% acquisition of the project in June 
2023 (CAZ announcement dated 14 June 2023). The Project is located in the Red Lake district in Ontario, Canada 
(Figure 4) and comprises 93 mineral claims covering a very large carbonatite prospective for rare earth elements 
(REE). The terms of the purchase agreement were: 

Payment of a non-refundable Option Fee of C$15,000 (paid) for a 2-month exclusive due diligence period 
Subject to satisfactory due diligence, payment of another C$85,000 (paid) for 100% ownership

Figure 4. Location of the Carb Lake REE Project, Red Lake District NW Ontario. 

The Project area is in north-western Ontario and hosts a very large mid-Proterozoic aged carbonatite positioned 
between two major tectonic terrane boundaries along the North Kenyon Fault (NKF). The NKF is a significant crustal 
scale fault providing an ideal environment for the emplacement of carbonatite intrusions. The carbonatite is not 
exposed at surface with shallow cover estimated to be from 7 to 12m. 

The Carb Lake Carbonatite Complex has had very limited modern exploration. Following the recognition of a large 
circular  aeromagnetic  anomaly  in  1967,  four  diamond  holes  were  completed  by  Big  Nama  Creek  Mines  Ltd  for 
564m, the only drilling ever completed on the Project (Figure 5).

Table 1 Big Nama Creek Mines Drillhole data. NAD83 / UTM zone 15N. 

As announced on 31 July 2023, Cazaly’s in-country team completed a portable XRF (pXRF) program on available 
diamond core. Preliminary pXRF readings conducted on historical core samples have confirmed anomalous levels 
of Lanthanum (La), Cerium (Ce), Neodymium (Nd), Praseodymium (Pr), and Niobium. These results validate the 
project's potential for economic REE and Nb mineralisation and reinforce the Company’s confidence in the future 
prospects of the Carb Lake REE project. 

As  mentioned,  four  diamond  holes  were  drilled  at  Carb  Lake  in  1967  for  a  total  of  564m  with  limited  drill  core 
remaining intact and available for non-invasive work. The remaining drill core was re-logged and tested using a 
pXRF, a portable gammaray spectrometer and a magnetic susceptibility metre.  

The best pXRF results include Nb 0.6%; La 3.36%; Ce 4.34%; Pr 0.42%; Nd 1.49%. 

As part of the Company’s initial studies, the 2011 aeromagnetic digital survey data was sourced and purchased. 
The  aeromagnetics  enables  the  Company  to  expand  its  understanding  of  the  subsurface  geology  and  aid  in 
identifying potential target areas for future exploration.  

The Company also acquired detailed high resolution satellite imagery to 17cm, with >97% clarity (<3% cloud cover). 
This dataset will be extremely useful during the initial exploration planning stages. 

An initial field reconnaissance trip was planned to include geological field mapping to determine any areas of float, 
or outcrop, and prospecting to collect any rock chip samples where float and outcrop is observed. As announced 
on 22 August 2023, Cazaly’s in-country team mobilised a 4-man crew and established a field camp to facilitate 
the field program. 

Cautionary Statement  
The  pXRF  exploration  results  reported  herein  have  been  collected  on  historical  core  samples  and  are  not 
equivalent  to  analytical  laboratory  results.  The  use  of  spot  pXRF  readings  only  provides  an  indication  of  the 
potential  order  of  magnitude  of  analytical  laboratory  assay  results.  The  downhole  location  of  pXRF  results 
collected cannot be relied upon for actual location due to the incomplete nature of the remaining historical drill 
core.

Refer to the ASX announcement dated 24 November 2022 for details of drilling, results and the resource estimation 
parameters. 

In late 2022, Cazaly formalised a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AuKing Mining Ltd (ASX:AKN) to include 
Cazaly’s  Halls  Creek  mineral  resources  into  their  scoping study  for  a  mining operation.  Cazaly  and  AuKing  both 
recognised  the  significant  benefits  in  combining  their  resources  in  the  scoping  study  and  potential  future 
development  of  a  central  mining  hub  at  Sandiego  with  multiple  feed  options  from  the  surrounding  deposits 
(ASX:AKN Announcement dated 20 December 2022).  

The  Sandiego  deposit  is  part  of  AuKing’s  Koongie  Park  project  at  Halls  Creek  where  they  have  acquired  a  100% 
interest through a joint venture with Astral Resources NL (ASX:AAR), subject to a 1& new smelter royalty for AAR (AKN 
announcement dated 7 July 2023).  

In June 2023, Cazaly received positive results from AuKing Mining Limited’s Koongie Park copper-zinc scoping study, 
which included the Company’s 100%-owned mineral resources at Halls Creek (Figure 6).  

The AuKing scoping study confirms the potential for a financially robust, globally competitive operation with life-
of-mine of 11 years with an estimated total production of 110kt Cu, 38kt Zn and 355koz Ag. 

The strong project economics and financial returns produced a pre-tax NPV8% of approximately A$176.9M and a 
39.7% IRR. The estimated payback period is 2.45 years after incurring pre-production Capex of A$134M. 

For full scoping study results and details please refer to CAZ announcement dated 1 June 2023. 

Ashburton Basin Rare Earth Elements, Gold and Base Metals Project (CAZ 100%) 

Cazaly’s Ashburton project spans 2,450km2 in the Ashburton Basin, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (Figure 
7). The Ashburton Basin forms the northern part of the Capricorn Orogen, a ~1,000km long, 500km wide region of 
variably  deformed  metamorphosed  igneous  and  sedimentary  rocks  located  between  the  Yilgarn  and  Pilbara 
cratons.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

The Ashburton project covers major regional structures considered to be highly prospective for gold, base metals 
and  REE  mineralisation.  The  project  area  presents  an  excellent  opportunity  for  discovery  of  large  mineralised 
systems along the major regional scale structures, which to date have seen very little modern exploration. 

Figure 7. Location of the Ashburton Project relative to +1Moz gold deposits and regional scale mineralised trends. 

In early August 2022 an Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) Survey was completed across three blocks (Figure 9) for 
a total of 305 line kilometres at 400m or 200m line spacing. Survey Block 1 tested an area along the Nanjilgardy 
Fault  with  anomalous  historical  surface  geochemistry.  The  Nanjilgardy  fault  is  a  major  regional  scale  structure 
marking  the  boundary  between  the  Capricorn  Orogen  and  the  Pilbara  Craton.  The  structure  is  associated  with 
significant  deposits  including  Black  Cat’s  (ASX:  BC8)  Paulsens  gold  mine  and  Kalamazoo’s  (ASX:  KZR)  Mount 
Olympus  gold  mine  (Figure  7).  Survey  Blocks  2  and  3  were  designed  to  refine  broad  TEMPEST  AEM  anomalies 
identified in publicly available government survey data. Block 2 is also coincident with anomalous gold results at 
the New Finish prospect. 

Interpretation of preliminary data was completed by Southern Geoscience Consultants (Figure 9). The results are 
summarised below: 

• 

• 

• 

Block 1 – shows subtle anomalous conductive trends with WNW orientations. This orientation coincides 
with the strike of lithology. Several higher amplitude anomalies occur on the eastern block margin. 
Block 2 – shows a conductive folded sequence evident in south-eastern corner of the block. A 
separate conductive response coincides with the margin of the New Finish prospect. 
Block 3 – shows a very strong conductive response shown along the north-eastern margin of the 
block, this is likely to be a stratigraphic response. A number of discrete moderate strength anomalies 
occur immediately southwest of the stratigraphic response.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

Fine  fraction  (-75µm)  stream  sediment  sampling  conducted  in  July-August  2022  returned  elevated  Gold  and 
Carlin Score values coincident with the previously identified mineralised trends (Figure 9). Elevated copper assays 
highlight two new target areas. The northern anomaly at Cairn Hill Bore extends for 10km strike and is coincident 
with the Nanjilgardy Fault Zone. The southern anomaly at Seven Mile Bend extends the southern base metal trend 
from Ram Hole Creek to the south east into tenement E08/3262.  

Desktop studies identified a 50km long thorium anomaly adjacent to the Blair Fault, a deep-seated regional scale 
structure  at  the contact  between  the  Ashburton  Formation and  the  Capricorn Group.  In December 2022  Cazaly 
completed a helicopter supported rock chip sampling program to determine the prospectivity of the regional scale 
thorium anomaly. 26 samples were collected along the thorium anomaly, 6 samples were collected at other points 
of  interest,  and  3  samples  were  collected  to  assess  a  preliminary  TEM  anomaly  along  the  Nanjilgardy  fault  on 
tenement E08/3272, known as the Cheela Plains tenement. 

Three  rock  chip  samples  collected  on  the  Cheela  Plains  tenement 
contained  copper  carbonates,  visual  estimates  up  to  3%  and  copper 
sulphide mineralisation, visual estimates up to 5% (Figure 8). Analytical 
results received for two of the three samples were above 10% copper, 
with the highest assay being 32.32% copper (for further technical details 
please  refer  to  CAZ  announcement  dated  16  February  2023).  The 
mineralised copper trend continues to the south-east with anomalous 
rock chip samples extending the anomaly over 2km strike. 

Analytical results from the rock chip heli-samples over the 50km long 
thorium  anomaly  which  coincided  with  the  sedimentary  units  of  the 
Capricorn  group  returned  anomalous  TREO  above  0.5%  with  two  (2) 
samples above 1% TREO (full rock chip analysis is included in CAZ announcement dated 14 February 2023). Elevated 
REE 
lanthanum;  1,472ppm 
neodymium; and 431ppm praseodymium. In addition, phosphorous results were also elevated to 4,600ppm.  

include:  118ppm  dysprosium;  179ppm  gadolinium;  619ppm  yttrium;  2,070ppm

Lyons Rare Earth Elements Project (CAZ 100%) 

On 2 August 2023, the Company announced that it had secured over 1,000km2 of tenure within the emerging REE 
district of the Gascoyne Province in Western Australia. 

The tenure consists of a total of six tenements, that together form the Lyons Project a very prospective package of 
ground in the Bangemall Basin (Figure 10). Four tenements were targeted and pegged by Cazaly around the Lyons 
River Fault and Talga Fault, with one of the four tenements now granted.   

The remaining two granted tenements along the Lyons River Fault (E09/2671 and E52/4040), consolidate the Lyons 
Project via an exclusive binding option agreement to acquire up to 100% with private company Murchison REE Pty 
Ltd (Murchison). 

The terms of the agreement with Murchison were as follows: 

Pay $50,000 (paid) for a 12-month exclusive option to acquire up to 100% of E09/2671 and E52/4040 

1. 
2.  Cazaly may execute the option by; 

a)  Paying the vendors $30,000 in cash or shares at CAZ’s election to earn 50% project equity 
b)  Committing $200,000 to exploration expenditure within two years to earn 100% project equity 
c)  Upon the delineation of a minimum JORC compliant resource of 300,000oz Au (or metal 

equivalent) paying $200,000 in cash/shares 
d)  Upon a Decision to Mine paying $1M in cash/shares 
e)  Murchison maintain a 1% NSR on the project

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

The Lyons River Fault and Talga Fault represent major crustal sutures in the central part of the Gascoyne Province 
which provided a suitable plumbing system for the transportation of mineralised fluids. The Yangibana (Hastings 
Technology  Metals  Ltd)  and  Yin  (Dreadnought  Resources  Ltd)  REE  deposits  are  located  along  cross  cutting 
ferrocarbonatites  structures  adjacent  to  the  Lyons  River  Fault.  The  Abra  base  metal  deposit  is  associated  with 
splays off the Lyons River Fault. 

The Edmund Group consists of a package of Proterozoic sediments within the Gascoyne Province. The sediments 
are mostly siliciclastic and carbonate sediments deformed and metamorphosed during multiple orogenic events, 
that gave rise to significant magmatic activity resulting in the emplacement of gabbroic to granitic stocks and 
carbonatite  instrusions  across  district.  Dreadnought  Resources  have  previously  reported  multiple  mineralised 
carbonatites within the Edmund Group in close proximity to the Lyons River Fault (DRE announcement dated 25 July 
2023). 

The Gascoyne region is highly prospective for rare earth elements (REE) as well as base metals.  

Hastings  Technology Metals  Ltd  (ASX:  HAS)  and  Dreadnought  Resources  Ltd  (ASX:  DRE) REE  projects  are located 
approximately 100 km northwest from Cazaly’s tenement package along the Lyons River Fault (Figure 10). 

HAS is currently advancing construction of Yangibana which will produce a Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate (MREC) 
rich in Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium (Pr). The project has an NPV of $466 million, a 15-year mine life and 
current JORC resource of 27.4Mt @ 0.97% Total Rare Earths Oxides (TREO) (HAS announcement dated 5 May 2021). 
Yangibana  is  under  construction  and  development  with  first  production  planned  for  2024  (HAS  announcement 
dated 7 June 2022).   

DRE  recently  announced  an  updated  resource  for  Yin  Rare  Earth  Element  (REE)  Ironstone  Complex  of  20.06Mt 
grading at 1.03% TREO. The resource covered only 4km, or ~10%, of the 43km long Yin REE Ironstone Complex (DRE 
announcement dated 5 July 2023).  

In addition, the Gascoyne region hosts the Abra Base Metals Mine, a lead-silver joint venture mining operation (60%: 
Galena Mining Ltd and 40%: Toho Zinc Co., Ltd) which lies adjacent to the Lyons Project tenement package. The 
Abra Mine, which has a JORC resource of 34.5Mt grading at 7.2% lead and 16g/t silver, produced first concentrate 
(G1A  announcement  dated  13  January  2023)  and  achieved  its  first  concentrate  shipment  (G1A  announcement 
dated 27 March 2023) from the port of Geraldton earlier this year.   

Work has commenced on a compilation of all available historic data sets for the project. The data is being reviewed 
in order to prioritise targets for initial field assessment. A study of available imagery has highlighted areas with 
potential for ironstone outcrop. Broad GSWA geochemical sampling across the region has also indicated potential 
for REE enrichment.  

The process of target generation and prioritisation is close to being complete and it is expected that field work will 
commence in late September 2023 and will consist of ground checks and prospecting where access is available. 

NAMIBIA 

Abenab Rare Earth Elements & Base Metals Project (CAZ 95%) 

As announced on 7 November 2022, the Company applied for a new exploration licence (EPL 9110 - Abenab North). 
The project is located in the northern region of Namibia through its 95% owned local subsidiary company Philco 
One  Hundred  and  Seventy-Three  (Proprietary)  Limited  (“Philco”).  The  Abenab  North  project  application  has  no 
competing applications and covers an area of approximately 790 km2 (Figure 11). The project is considered to be 
highly prospective for base metals and Rare Earth Elements (REE) mineralisation as evidenced from the results of 
previous but limited exploration.  

The project lies in the Otavi Mountain Land region of northern Namibia located approximately 450km by road from 
the capital of Windhoek in an area comprising the towns of Tsumeb and Grootfontein. The region is a significant 
well  mineralised  base  metals  province  with  historic  production  from  several  mines  including  Tsumeb,  Kombat, 
Abenab and the Berg Aukas mines. Tsumeb is a world-famous Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Ge-Cd mine renowned for its wealth 
of rare and unusual minerals and was mined from 1897 to 1996.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

Remuneration Policy 

The remuneration policy of Cazaly has been designed to align Director and executive objectives with shareholder 
and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in 
line  with  market  rates  and  Group  performance.  The  further  tailoring  of  goals  between  shareholders  and  the 
Directors and executives is achieved through the issue of equity to the directors and executives to encourage the 
alignment of personal and shareholder interest. 

The Cazaly Board believes the current remuneration policy is appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and 
retain high quality personnel in order to achieve its strategic objectives and create value for shareholders. 

The  Group  is  exploration  and  development  focussed,  and  therefore  speculative  in  terms  of  performance. 
Consistent  with  attracting  and  retaining  talented  people,  the  Directors  and  executives  are  paid  market  rates 
associated with individuals in similar positions, within the same industry. Where necessary, independent advice is 
obtained to confirm that executive remuneration is in line with market practice and is reasonable in the context of 
Australian executive reward practices. 

All remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed or carried 
forward on the balance sheet for any time that is attributable to exploration and evaluation. Any awarded options 
are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. 

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, 
the directors. Non-executive directors receive a fixed fee for time, commitment and responsibilities and may be 
paid  remuneration  as  the  directors  determine  where  the  director  performs  services  outside  the  scope  of  the 
ordinary duties of the director. Non-executive directors may also be paid expenses properly incurred in attending 
meetings or otherwise in connection with the Company’s business. 

The Company’s constitution provides that the non-executive directors, as a whole, may be paid or provided fees 
or other remuneration for their services as a director of the Company. The maximum aggregate amount of fees 
that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.  
Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company.  However, to align Directors’ 
interests with shareholder interests, all Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company. 

Employment Details 

All Directors have engagement contracts in place. 

Mr  Clive  Jones  is  currently  the  Chairman  of  the  Company  and  is  engaged  on  a  part-time  basis.  His  annual 
remuneration (from 1 July 2023) is split between a monthly consulting fee of $5,000 per month and an annual salary 
component of $60,000 (plus statutory superannuation).  

Mr Terry Gardiner and Mr Jonathan Downes, are Non-Executive Directors and are both employed by the Company 
on an annual salary of $50,000 (plus statutory superannuation). 

Ms  Tara  French  is  the  Company’s  Managing  Director  and  is  on  an  annual  salary  of  $280,000  (plus  statutory 
superannuation).  Should  Ms  French  or  the  Company  wish  to  terminate  her  contract,  either  Ms  French  or  the 
Company are required to give written notice of at least three (3) months before the effective date of termination. 

Termination payments are not payable under the circumstances of unsatisfactory performance.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

These  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  represent  those  of  Cazaly  Resources  Limited  (the Company or 
Cazaly) and its controlled entities (the Group). Cazaly Resources Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and 
domiciled in Australia. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 22 September 2023 by the Directors of the Company.  

Basis of Preparation 

The  financial  report  is  a  general  purpose  financial  report  that  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian 
Accounting  Standards,  Australian  Accounting Interpretations,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the  Australian 
Accounting  Standards Board and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.    The  Group is  a  for-profit entity  for  financial  reporting 
purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. 

Australian Accounting Standards set out in accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial 
statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  ensures  that  the  financial  statements  and  notes  also  comply  with  International 
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these 
financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.  

These  financial  statements have  been  prepared on  an  accruals  basis  and  are  based on  historical costs, modified, 
where  applicable,  by  the  measurement  at  fair  value  of  selected  non-current  assets,  financial  assets  and  financial 
liabilities. 

Going Concern 

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  a  going  concern  basis,  which  contemplates  the  continuity  of  normal 
business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

The Group incurred a loss after tax for the year of $2,124,956 (2022: $1,740,579) and net cash outflows from operating 
activities of $773,682 (2022: $820,305). There was a working capital surplus of $3,545,606 at 30 June 2023 compared 
to  a  surplus  of  $6,558,225  at  30  June  2022.  The  Company  also  has  access  to  financial  assets  that  are  valued  at 
$2,868,117 (2022: $3,882,311). 

Pending the outcome of various applications, the Group could have lease and exploration commitments of $974,256 
(2022: $605,969) due within the next twelve months.  

The  Directors  have  prepared a  cash  flow  forecast,  which indicates  that  the  Group  will have  sufficient cash  flows  to 
meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of signing this financial 
report. Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the Directors are satisfied that the going 
concern basis of preparation is appropriate because: 

- 

- 

- 

the Directors have an appropriate plan to raise additional funds as and when it is required. In light of the Group’s 
current  exploration  projects,  the  Directors  believe  that  the  additional  capital  required  can  be  raised  in  the 
market; and 
the Directors have an appropriate plan to contain certain operating and exploration expenditure if appropriate 
funding is unavailable; and 
the Directors will divest its interest in financial assets held for trading as and when required to fund ongoing 
expenditure. 

(a) 

Principles of Consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets,  liabilities  and  results  of  entities  controlled  by  the 
Company at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which the Company has the power 
to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Control will generally 
exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity.  
In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also 
considered.   

31 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities 
are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled.  A list of controlled entities, as at 30 June 2023 is 
contained in Note 21 to the financial statements. 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the 
Group  have  been  eliminated  on  consolidation.    Accounting  policies  of  subsidiaries  have  been  changed  where 
necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the Company. 

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown 
separately within the Equity section of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Profit or Loss 
and other Comprehensive Income.  The non-controlling interest in the net assets comprises their interests at the date 
of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date. 

(b) 

Plant and Equipment 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment.  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. 

(c) 

Depreciation 

Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off 
the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value.  

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are plant and equipment (40%), office furniture and 
equipment (18%) and motor vehicles (22.5%). 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting 
period. The value for office furniture and equipment was written down to nil at 30 June 2023. 

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 Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income. When revalued assets are sold, 
amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. 

(d) 

Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure 

Costs incurred during exploration and evaluations relating to an area of interest are accumulated. Costs are carried 
forward  to  the  extent  they  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  successful  development,  or  by  sale,  or  where 
exploration and evaluation activities have not yet reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment regarding the 
existence of economically recoverable reserves. In these instances the entity must have rights of tenure to the area of 
interest and must be continuing to undertake exploration operations in the area. 

Accumulated costs carried forward in respect of an area of interest that is abandoned are written off in full against 
profit 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 will be 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 of interest. 

Costs of site restoration are provided 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 clauses  of  the mining  permits. 
Such costs have been estimated of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

(e) 

Leases 

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the 
legal ownership, are transferred to entities in the consolidated group are classified as finance leases.  Finance leases 
are  capitalised  by  recording  an  asset  and  a  liability  equal  to  the  present  value  of  the  minimum  lease  payments, 
including any guaranteed residual values.  Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of 
their estimated useful lives or the lease term.   

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged 
as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. 

(f) 

Financial Instruments 

Financial Assets 

Initial Recognition and Measurement 

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through 
other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. 

The  classification  of  financial  assets  at  initial  recognition  depends  on  the  financial  asset’s  contractual  cash  flow 
characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do 
not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group 
initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit 
or loss, transaction costs. 

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give 
rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This 
assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. 

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to 
generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash 
flows, selling the financial assets, or both.  

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or 
convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group 
commits to purchase or sell the asset.  

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss   

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated 
upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at 
fair  value.  Financial  assets  are  classified  as  held  for  trading  if  they  are  acquired  for  the  purpose  of  selling  or 
repurchasing in the near term.  

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with 
net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss. 

This category includes listed equity investments which the Group had not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value 
through OCI. Dividends on listed equity investments are also recognised as other income in the statement of profit or 
loss when the right of payment has been established. 

Derecognition 

A  financial  asset  (or,  where  applicable,  a  part  of  a  financial  asset  or  part  of  a  group  of  similar  financial  assets)  is 
primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:

Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

•  The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or  
•  The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay 

the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement

 and  

either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither 
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. 

;

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain 
cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates 
that  the  Group  is  unlikely  to  receive  outstanding  contractual  amounts  in  full  before  taking  into  account  any  credit 
enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering 
the contractual cash flows 

Financial Liabilities 

Initial Recognition and Measurement 

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans 
and borrowings, payables as appropriate.  

All financial liabilities are recognised at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly 
attributable transaction costs.  

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables.  

(g) 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid 
investments with maturity dates of three to six months or less.  

(h) 

Trade and Other Receivables 

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-60 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less 
an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence 
that the entity will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. 

(i) 

Revenue and Other Income 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.  Interest revenue is recognised 
on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.  Revenue from the 
rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. 

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).  

(j) 

Impairment of Assets 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. 
The  assessment  will  include  the  consideration  of  external  and  internal  sources  of  information  including  dividends 
received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such 
an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, 
being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of 
the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is 
carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another standard (eg in accordance with the revaluation model in 
AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other 
standard.  

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.  Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill 
and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

(k) 

 Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is 
not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”).  In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the 
cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.  Receivables and payables in the statement of 
financial  position  are  shown  inclusive  of  GST.    The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  ATO  is 
included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis.  The GST components of cash flows arising from 
investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash 
flows. 

(l) 

Taxation 

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

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

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

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

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the 
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their 
measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the 
related asset or liability. 

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

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

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

Cazaly  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  subsidiaries  have  formed  an  income  tax  consolidated  group  under  tax 
consolidation legislation.  

(m) 

Trade and Other Payables 

Trade  payables  and  other  payables  are  carried  at  amortised costs  and represent liabilities  for  goods  and  services 
provided to the company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the company becomes 
obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

(n) 

Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it 
is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.  

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation 
at  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. 

(o) 

Share Based Payments 

The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the 
equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting 
period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account.   Share-based payments to non-employees are measured 
at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the 
fair value of the good or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are 
received. The corresponding amount is shown in the option reserve.  

The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price.  The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black–
Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions.  The number of shares and options expected 
to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services 
received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that 
eventually vest. 

(p) 

Issued Capital 

Issued  and  paid-up  capital  is  recognised  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  by  the  Company.  Any 
transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share 
proceeds received. 

(q) 

Earnings Per Share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net earnings attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing 
equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares, adjusted for a bonus element. 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net earnings attributable to members, adjusted for costs of servicing equity 
(other than dividends) and preference share dividends; the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with 
dilutive potential ordinary shares that would have been recognised as expenses; and other non-discretionary changes 
in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by 
the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  and  dilutive  potential  ordinary  shares,  adjusted  for  any  bonus 
element. 

(r) 

Employee Benefits 

Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the 
end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured 
at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. 

(s) 

Interest in Joint Operations 

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to 
the  assets,  and  obligations  for  the  liabilities,  relating  to  the  arrangement.  Joint  control  is  the  contractually  agreed 
sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous 
consent of the parties sharing control. 

When a Group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group as a joint operator recognises in relation 
to its interest in a joint operation:

its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; 
its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; 
its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; 
its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and 
its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. 

The  Group  accounts  for  the  assets,  liabilities,  revenues  and  expenses  relating  to  its  interest  in  a  joint  operation  in 
accordance with the AASBs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues 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) 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that 
affect  the  application  of  accounting  policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets,  liabilities,  income  and  expenses.  
Actual results may differ from these estimates.  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 and in any future 
periods affected.   

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge 
and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based 
on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. 

Key Judgements –Exploration and evaluation expenditure 
Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current.  These costs 
are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance sheet date reached a stage that permits reasonable 
assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting policy stated in note 1(d).   

Key Judgements - Share based payment transactions 
The Company 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 an internal valuation using a 
Black-Scholes option pricing model.   

Key Judgments – Environmental issues 
Balances  disclosed  in  the  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto  are  not  adjusted  for  any  pending  or  enacted 
environmental  legislation,  and  the  directors  understanding  thereof.  At  the  current  stage  of  the  company’s 
development  and  its  current  environmental  impact  the  directors  believe  such  treatment  is  reasonable  and 
appropriate. 

Key Estimate – Taxation 
Balances  disclosed  in  the  financial  statements  and  the  notes  thereto,  related  to  taxation,  are  based  on  the  best 
estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the company 
as  they  pertain  to  current income  taxation legislation,  and the  directors  understanding  thereof.  No  adjustment  has 
been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best 
estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office. 

(u) 

Fair value measurements 

The Group measures and recognises the asset, ‘Financial assets held for trading’ at fair value on a recurring basis after 
initial recognition. 

The Group does not subsequently measure any liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

(i) Fair Value Hierarchy 

AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, 
which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input 
that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows: 

Level 1 

Level 2 

Level 3 

Measurements based on quoted 
prices (unadjusted) in active 
markets for identical assets or 
liabilities that the entity can access 
at the measurement date. 

Measurements based on inputs 
other than quoted prices included in 
Level 1 that are observable for the 
asset or liability, either directly or 
indirectly. 

Measurements based on 
unobservable inputs for the asset or 
liability. 

The  fair  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  traded  in  an  active  market  are  determined  using  one  or  more 
valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. 
If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one 
or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3. 

 (ii) Valuation techniques 

The Company selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is 
available  to  measure  fair  value.  The  availability  of  sufficient  and  relevant  data  primarily  depends  on  the  specific 
characteristics  of  the  asset  or  liability  being  measured.  The  valuation  technique  selected  by  the  Company  is  the 
Market  approach  whereby  valuation  techniques  use  prices  and  other  relevant  information  generated  by  market 
transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities. 

When  selecting  a  valuation  technique,  the  Company  gives  priority  to  those  techniques  that  maximise  the  use  of 
observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such 
as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would 
generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is 
not  available  and  therefore  are  developed  using  the  best  information  available  about  such  assumptions  are 
considered unobservable. 

The  following  table  provides  the  fair values  of  the Company’s  assets  and liabilities  measured  and  recognised  on  a 
recurring basis after initial recognition and their categorisation within the fair value hierarchy:

Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

(v)  Revenue Recognition 

Grant revenue 
Government  grants  are  recognised  where  there  is  reasonable  assurance  that  the  grant  will  be  received  and  all 
attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a 
systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When 
the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related 
asset. 

When the Group receives grants of non-monetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at nominal amounts 
and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the asset, based on the pattern of consumption of the 
benefits of the underlying asset by equal annual instalments. 

Operating revenue 
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customer. 

Interest revenue 
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.  

(w)  Leases 

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys 
the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. 

Group as a lessee 
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and 
leases  of low-value  assets.  The  Group  recognises lease  liabilities  to make  lease  payments  and  right-of-use  assets 
representing the right to use the underlying assets. 

i) 

Right-of-use assets 

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset 
is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment 
losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of 
lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement 
date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets (office premises) are depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. This is 3 years. 

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of 
a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. 

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. 

ii) 

Lease liabilities 

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease 
payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed 
payments)  less  any  lease  incentives  receivable,  variable  lease  payments  that  depend  on  an  index  or  a  rate,  and 
amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of 
a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the 
lease,  if  the  lease  term  reflects  the  Group  exercising  the  option  to  terminate.  Variable  lease  payments  that  do  not 
depend  on  an index  or  a  rate  are  recognised  as expenses (unless  they  are  incurred  to  produce inventories) in  the 
period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. 

In  calculating  the  present  value  of  lease  payments,  the  Group  uses  its  incremental  borrowing  rate  at  the  lease 
commencement  date  because  the  interest  rate  implicit  in  the  lease  is  not  readily  determinable.  After  the 
commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for 
the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, 
a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
Cazaly Resources Limited Annual Report 2023 

in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase 
the underlying asset. 

The Group’s lease liabilities are included in Interest-bearing loans and borrowings, refer note 27. 

iii) 

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets 

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment 
(i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a 
purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment 
that  are  considered  to  be  low  value.  Lease  payments  on  short-term  leases  and  leases  of  low  value  assets  are 
recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Group as a lessor 
Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset 
are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms 
and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in 
negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised 
over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in 
which they are earned. 

(x)  New, revised or amending accounting standards and interpretations adopted 

Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards 

The  Group  has  adopted  all  new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting 
Standards Board that are relevant to its operations. 

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted 

The  Group  has  reviewed  the new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  on  issue  not  yet  adopted  for  the  year 
ended 30 June 2023 and determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not 
yet adopted by the Company.

Exploration expenditure, including tenement acquisitions, totalled $2,839,083 for the year (2022: $1,755,001). The main 
expenditure  was  on  its  new  Canadian  projects,  Ashburton,  Halls  Creek  and  new  project  generation.  Exploration 
expenditure written off for the year was $636,964 (2022: $186,809) and related to new project generation costs and 
expenditures associated with various projects, tenements and applications that were relinquished or written off during 
the financial year. 

The value of the Group’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon: 

- 
- 
- 

the continuance of the Group’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest; 
the results of future exploration; and 
the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or 
alternatively, by their sale.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, held-for-trading investments, cash and 
short-term deposits. 

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the oversight and management of the Group’s exposure to a variety 
of  financial  risks  (including  fair  value  interest  rate  risk,  credit  risk,  liquidity  risk  and  cash  flow  interest  rate  risk).  The 
Group’s  risk  management  program  focuses  on  the  unpredictability  of  financial  markets  and  seeks  to  minimise 
potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. 

Interest rate risks 
The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates to cash deposits held at variable rates. The Board constantly 
analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions. 

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  Statement  of  Financial  Position  and  notes  to  the  financial  statements.  The 
Consolidated 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. 

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the board.  The board’s policy 
requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard & Poor’s rating of at least A+.  All of 
the  Group’s surplus  funds  are  invested  with  AA  and  A+ Rated  financial  institutions,  the  amount is $3,818,431  (2022: 
$6,901,309). 

Liquidity risk 
The responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Consolidated 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. 

Market risk 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices 
will  affect  the  Group’s  income  or  the  value  of  its  holdings  of  financial  instruments.    The  objective  of  market  risk 
management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the 
return.

COMMITMENTS 

In order to maintain rights of tenure to mining tenements, the Group would have the following discretionary exploration 
expenditure requirements up until expiry of leases. These obligations, which are subject to renegotiation upon expiry 
of the leases, are not provided for in the financial statements and are payable: 

No longer than one year 
Longer than one year, but not longer than five years 
Longer than five years

If  the  Group  decides  to  relinquish  certain  leases  and/or  does  not  meet  these  obligations,  assets  recognised  in  the 
statement  of  financial  position  may  require  review  to  determine  the  appropriateness  of  carrying  values.    The  sale, 
transfer or farm-out of exploration rights to third parties will reduce or extinguish these obligations.

OPERATING SEGMENTS 

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board 
of Directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group is managed primarily 
on the basis of its exploration and corporate activities. Operating segments are determined on the same basis. 

Exploration 
Segment assets, including acquisition cost of exploration licenses, all expenses related to the tenements and profit on 
sale of tenements are reported on in this segment. 

Segment assets 
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of 
economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of 
their  nature  and  physical  location.  Unless indicated  otherwise  in  the  segment  assets  note,  deferred  tax  assets  and 
intangible assets have not been allocated to operating segments. 

Segment liabilities 
Liabilities  are  allocated  to  segments  where  there  is  direct  nexus  between  the  incurrence  of  the  liability  and  the 
operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole 
and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables. 

Unallocated items 
Non-recurring items of revenue or expenses are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part 
of the core operations of any segment.

Loans are provided by Cazaly (‘the Parent’) to its controlled entities for their respective operating activities. Amounts 
receivable from controlled entities are non-interest bearing with no fixed term of repayment. The eventual recovery of 
the loan will be dependent upon the successful commercial application of these projects or the sale to third parties.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS 

Contingent Liabilities 

Kaoko Project 

As announced on 26 March 2018, the Company acquired an option to earn the rights to a 95% interest in the Kaoko 
Kobalt  Project  (‘Kaoko  Project’)  in  Namibia.  The  following  contingent  liabilities  remain  for  Cazaly’s  registered  95% 
interest at 30 June 2023: 

Under the KDN JV:  

KDN JV’s partner’s remaining 5% is free carried to a definitive feasibility study.  

Under the Kunene Purchase Agreement: 

The Company acquired 100% of the issued capital of Kunene North Pty Ltd and therefore its rights under the KDN JV, 
and has the following commitments outstanding: 

i) 

Issue 10.5 million fully paid Cazaly shares upon the delineation of a JORC compliant mineral resource containing 
at least 10,000t of contained cobalt (or other metal equivalent) 

ii)  Pay A$1 million (or issue fully paid Cazaly shares to that amount) upon a formal Decision to Mine 

Halls Creek 

As  announced  on  12  November  2020,  the  Company  acquired  an  80%  interest  in  the  Halls  Creek  project  from  3D 
Resources Limited bringing Cazaly to a 100% interest in the project. There is a contingent liability of $250,000 due to 3D 
Resources Limited upon production of minerals in a commercial and saleable quantity and there is a royalty obligation 
to  Squadron  Resources  Pty  Ltd  on  the  tenement  (M80/247).  The  royalty  payable  is  a  1.5%  net  smelter  return  of 
production attributable to the tenement.  

Contingent Assets 

Hamersley 

The  Hamersley  Iron  Ore  Project  was  an  unincorporated  Joint  Venture  between  Lockett  Fe  Pty  Ltd  (“Lockett”)  (100% 
owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company)  and  Pathfinder  Resources  Ltd  (ASX:PF1).  In  August  2021  the  project  was  sold  to 
Equinox Resources Limited (ASX:EQN) who subsequently listed on ASX on 13 October 2021. Lockett received  15 million 
EQN shares and 2,850,000 performance share, plus retained a royalty interest on the project. The royalty is fixed and 
payable to Lockett Fe Pty Ltd of USD$0.30 per metric tonne of iron ore which is extracted and sold or otherwise disposed 
of from the area within the boundaries of the Hamersley Iron Ore Project. Each Performance Share will, at the election 
of the holder, convert into one Equinox Share, subject to Equinox announcing to the ASX a positive preliminary Feasibility 
Study in relation to the Hamersley Iron Ore Project, confirming the Hamersley Iron Ore Project is commercially viable. 
The Performance Shares have a two-year term. 

Parker Range 

On 19 August 2019, the sale of Parker Range to Mineral Resources was completed and Cazaly received the $20 million 
consideration. A royalty is also due at the rate of A$0.50 for every dry metric tonne of iron ore extracted and removed 
from the Parker Range area after the first 10 million dry metric tonnes of production.

the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 
1. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Those standards require that we 

comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to 
obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  is  free  from  material  misstatement.  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 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 

Evaluation and Evaluation Assets  

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

(Refer to Note 11) 

•  Exploration and evaluation is a key audit 

matter due to: 

•  The  significance  of  the  balance  to  the 

Consolidated Entity’s financial position. 

•  The 

level  of 

judgement  required 

in 

evaluating  management’s  application  of 
the requirements of AASB 6 Exploration 

for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. 
AASB 6 is an industry specific accounting 

standard  requiring  the  application  of 
significant  judgements,  estimates  and 

industry 

knowledge.  This 

includes 

specific  requirements  for  expenditure  to 
be  capitalised  as  an  asset  and 

subsequent requirements which must be 
complied with for capitalised expenditure 

to continue to be carried as an asset.  

•  Assessed  management’s  determination  of  its 
areas  of  interest  for  consistency  with  the 

definition  in  AASB  6.  This  involved  analysing 

the tenements in which the consolidated entity 
holds an interest and the exploration programs 

planned for those tenements.  

•  For  each  area  of  interest,  we  assessed  the 
tenure  by 
Consolidated  Entity’s  rights 
corroborating  to  government  registries  and 

to 

evaluating  agreements  in  place  with  other 
parties as applicable; 

•  We 

tested 

to  capitalised 
expenditure for the year by evaluating a sample 

the  additions 

of  recorded  expenditure  for  consistency  to 
capitalisation 
underlying 

records, 

the 

requirements  of 
the  Consolidated  Entity’s 
accounting  policy  and  the  requirements  of 

AASB 6; 

•  We  considered  the  activities  in  each  area  of 
interest  to  date  and  assessed  the  planned 
future  activities  for  each  area  of  interest  by 

evaluating budgets for each area of interest. 

•  We  assessed  each  area  of  interest  for  one  or 
more  of  the  following  circumstances  that  may 
capitalised 
indicate 

impairment  of 

the 

expenditure: 

o 

the  licenses  for  the  right  to  explore 

expiring  in  the  near  future  or  are  not 
expected to be renewed; 

o  substantive  expenditure 

for 

further 

exploration  in  the  specific  area  is 
neither budgeted or planned; 

o  decision  or  intent  by  the  Consolidated 
Entity  to  discontinue  activities  in  the 

specific  area  of  interest  due  to  lack  of 
commercially  viable  quantities  of 

resources; and 

 
 
Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter 

o  data 

indicating 

that,  although  a 
development  in  the  specific  area  is 

likely  to  proceed,  the  carrying  amount 
of the exploration asset is unlikely to be 

recovered 

in 

full 

from  successful 

development or sale. 

•  We assessed the appropriateness of the related 
financial 

in  note  11 

disclosures 

the 

to 

statements. 

Other Information  

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the  information 

included in the Consolidated Entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, 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. 

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 Note 1, the 
directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard  AASB 101 Presentation of Financial 

Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Consolidated Entity’s ability 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 Consolidated Entity or to cease 

operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 
 
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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 Consolidated Entity’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 Consolidated Entity’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 Consolidated Entity 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. 

•  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the  entities  or 
business activities within the Consolidated Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are 

responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Consolidated Entity audit. We remain 

solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

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 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2023. 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report 
in accordance with s 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. 

Auditor’s Opinion 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of  the Company, for the year ended 30 June 2023, complies with 
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
