CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

As your recently appointed Chairman, I am pleased to present Chesser Resources Limited’s (the “Company” or 
“Chesser”) 2020 Annual Report. The past year has seen the Company rapidly advance its strategically located Diamba 
Sud Project in eastern Senegal following the announcement of two high-grade gold discoveries. These discoveries mark 
a significant step towards achieving the Company’s principal objective of unearthing the next major gold deposit in West 
Africa.

The Diamba Sud Project lies to the immediate west of the regionally significant Senegal Mali Shear Zone (“SMSZ”) that 
transects a prolific Birimian greenstone belt hosting over 45 million ounces of gold, including Barrick Gold’s ~18 million 
ounce Loulo-Gounkoto mining complex. 

Drilling completed during the year to June 2020 was focused on the high-grade gold zones at Area A and Area D. These 
both lie within an extensive gold geochemical auger anomaly referred to as the Northern Arc Target, which trends into 
Barrick Gold’s neighbouring Bambadji tenement to the east.

Through the insights provided by diamond drilling, the Company is developing a better understanding of the primary 
gold mineralisation and structural controls of the Area A and Area D discoveries. The results from the mostly shallow 
drilling completed throughout the year have consistently returned highly encouraging widths and grades of gold 
mineralisation with distinctive alteration that is the hallmark of the many large deposits located along the SMSZ. These 
characteristics point to the potential of a large hydrothermal system emerging at Diamba Sud.

During the year, the Company also made significant steps in unlocking the potential of the Area D target following 
transformational high-grade intersection at less than 60m depth. Further spectacular intersections reported post year-
end confirmed this discovery, which is a priority target for follow-up drilling in the upcoming field season commencing in 
October 2020.

I would like to thank my fellow Board members and management as well as our in-country team for their ongoing efforts 
and positive outcomes during the past year. Chesser’s exploration success to date has largely been achieved under 
the leadership of Mike Brown (Managing Director) working collaboratively with Chesser’s in-country team, headed by 
Gareth O’Donovan (Exploration Manager).

Finally, I thank you for your continuing support and we look forward to updating you on our progress during the 
forthcoming field season as we move forward in our quest of advancing the discoveries at Diamba Sud.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Connelly
Chairman

Principal Activities

The principal activities undertaken by the Company during the year are summarised as follows:

Permits
The Company’s 53.3km2 Diamba Sud and 241.9km2 Diamba Nord exploration permits are valid for two years and 
can be extended for an additional three-year period and a subsequent two-year period.

Exploration Activities
The Company’s exploration activities during the year were focussed on its Senegal projects, and the flagship 
Diamba Sud Project in particular.

DIAMBA SUD
The Diamba Sud Project comprises two rectangular blocks joined by a corridor to create a contiguous tenement 
(Figure 1). The northern segment of Diamba Sud (termed DS-1) adjoins an open pit gold mine (Karakaene) 
operated by Afrigold along its western margin and has had previous programs of geochemistry, rock chip 
sampling and drilling.

and Western Splay) (RHS).

Exploration programs previously undertaken by the Company successfully delineated three large gold 
geochemical anomalies for follow-up drill testing: Northern Arc, Western Flank and Southern Zone. 

Three discrete follow-up drilling campaigns were undertaken during the year, focussed on the Northern Arc and 
Western Flank targets to better understand the style, nature, potential host and controls to the underlying gold 
mineralisation.

Northern Arc target: 
Previous exploration within Northern Arc discovered the presence of high-grade gold mineralisation at Area A 
and multiple significant intersections at Area D.

Area A
An initial follow-up program at Area A during the September quarter consisted of drilling on a westerly azimuth 
along two east-west oriented traverses to test the area immediately adjoining the previously reported significant 
intercepts. Best intersections included:

21m at 6.62 g/t gold from 53m 
4m at 3.44 g/t gold from 76m  
14m at 9.53 g/t gold from 75m 

The high-grade gold mineralisation correlated with a broad chargeability anomaly coincident with an interpreted felsic 
intrusive (resistivity high) and provided a target for further drilling to test for possible depth and strike extensions. 

A further phase of drilling at Area A, including diamond drilling, commenced in the December quarter returning 
the following significant intersections:

16m at 8.51 g/t gold from 86m, in fresh rock, including  
-  10m at 13.11 g/t gold from 86m 
4m at 9.36 g/t gold from 14m, in saprolite, including  
-  2m at 18.20 g/t gold from 14m  
4m at 13.28 g/t gold from 103m, including  
-  2m at 24.43 g/t gold from 103m

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The results confirmed a high-grade gold discovery at Diamba Sud, extending Area A at depth and in 
multiple directions, including confirmation of a northwest-southeast feeder structure interpreted as the 
principal host of the high-grade mineralisation. The gold mineralisation is principally structurally hosted, 
with a second style of minerlaisation within altered sedimentary breccias. This is interpreted to have 
formed by fluids flowing upwards along the structures then moving laterally into the sedimentary breccia, 
with strong hydrothermal brecciation. Both the structurally hosted and the lithological hosted pyrite 
mineralisation are associated with intense albite-carbonate-hematite alteration, typical of the assemblages 
found associated with other Tier 1 gold operations along the SMSZ. These characteristics provide strong 
indications that Area A is part of, or proximal to, a larger hydrothermal system, with marked similarities to 
other large systems and Tier 1 operations on the SMSZ. 

The final phase of drilling at Area A confirmed the presence of a new potentially significant structural 
trend, intersecting a wide zone of gold mineralisation along a southwest-northeast trend. Gold 
mineralisation is hosted within altered sedimentary breccias underlying a felsic intrusive. Significant 
intersections included:

23m at 3.50 g/t gold from 96m, including 
-  6m at 5.44 g/t gold from 96m, and  
-  6m at 5.60 g/t gold from 110m 
8m at 1.58 g/t gold from 127m 
8m at 1.37 g/t gold from 147m

The interpreted host structures and associated gold mineralisation remain open along strike and are 
priority targets for follow-up drilling.

control mineralisation. A north-south trending fault/dyke runs down the eastern side of Area.

Figure 4: Area A section showing the two controlling structures (NE-SW and NW-SE) hosting the high-grade mineralisation

Area D
An initial follow-up program at Area D during the September quarter was drilled on a westerly azimuth to test 
for potential north and northwest trending host structures extending from the previously reported significant 
intercepts. Best intersections included:

53m at 2.61 g/t gold from 57m, including  
-  17m at 4.97 g/t gold from 59m 
4m at 2.23 g/t gold from 93m 
4m at 2.75 g/t gold from 99m  
14m at 1.74 g/t gold from 8m  
2m at 1.47 g/t gold from 18m  
2m at 4.99 g/t gold from 22m 

Further phases of drilling completed at Area D during the December, March and June quarters confirmed the 
presence of a northwest-southeast striking host structure, particularly in an area within the Northern Arc gold 
geochemical anomaly which had not previously been fully assessed, with two previous holes not being able to 
reach the target depth due to excess water and clay.

The RC holes were drilled on a southwest-northeast orientated line and returned significant mineralisation 
over wide zones, marked by strong limonite staining. Assay results received post year-end highlighted 
high-grade intervals of up to 67.80 g/t gold within broad continuous zones of mineralisation. Significant 
intersections included;

48m at 6.70 g/t gold from 24m, including 
-  10m at 25.14 g/t gold from 62m 
55m at 4.27 gold from 16m 
38m at 4.63 g/t gold from 8m, including 
-  18m at 7.04 g/t gold from 28m, including 
-  4m at 18.30 g/t gold from 30m 
36m at 2.93 g/t gold from 6m, including 
-  10m at 6.13 g/t gold from 16m

A second RC line, drilled parallel and 50m to the southeast intersected sedimentary breccias, carbonates 
and minor felsic intrusives, typical of the rocks observed in Area A. Whilst more drilling is needed in this area 
to understand the controls to the mineralisation, the Company currently believes a late-stage, northeast 
trending fault observed at the northern end of Area A may extend between these two lines and truncate the 
host structure.

Figure 6: Area D Section looking northwest (A – A’).

Western Flank Target: 

Western Splay
A gradient array induced polarization (GAIP) geophysical survey undertaken over this area indicated the presence 
of a major northwest-trending splay structure extending from the SMSZ to the west of the Company’s previous 
drilling. Given the spatial association of all major gold deposits along the SMSZ either on or adjacent to splays 
extending from the SMSZ (e.g. Boto, Fekola, Gounkoto, Loulo, Yatela and Sadiola), this structure represents a high 
priority target for future exploration activities.

Results released after year-end from drilling at one of the targets at the Western Splay area successfully intersected 
a mineralised structure approximately 5km to the southwest of the Area A discovery and immediately west of the 
main Western Splay structure. The drilling confirmed a mineralised trend over ~300m, which is believed to extend 
by at least a further ~200m to the artisanal workings located along strike. Best intersections included:

22m at 2.12 g/t gold from 36m, including 
-  1m at 13.90 g/t gold from 54m  
2m at 19.80 g/t gold from 4m 
6m at 1.79 g/t gold from 28m 
10m at 1.10 g/t gold from 111m

This structure and the broader Western Splay area are considered highly prospective with multiple targets 
expected to be tested in future drilling.

Figure 7: Results from Western Splay target area drilling. The structure appears to be a sub-parallel structure to the main Western Splay 
structure based on geophysics.  Historic drilling and artisanal activity indicate a potential strike length of 500m, open in both directions.

Future Drill Programs 
The Company is compiling all information from the most recent drill program and incorporating it into the database for 
review, analysis and planning of next steps at Diamba Sud.

The highly significant results from Area D, the consistent results from Area A and the multiple, lightly tested targets at 
Western Splay provide an excellent platform to launch the forthcoming drilling program at Diamba Sud. The Company is 
expecting to increase its expenditure commitment significantly with a large program, currently estimated at 20,000 m of 
RC and DD drilling, planned to commence as soon as practical at the expected end of the current wet season in October.

The  outbreak  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  in  early  2020  and  the  subsequent  travel  and  trade  restrictions 
imposed by the governments of numerous countries including Australia have caused disruption to businesses 
and economic activity. The Board and Management of the Group have considered the impact of the COVID-
19 pandemic on the Group’s operations and financial performance and have determined that the Group has 
not been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic at this stage.   

The Group received a $12,342 cash boost grant from the Australian government during the financial year as 
part of the Australian government’s economic response to the COVID-19.

The Board of Chesser Resources Limited is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for 
the  Non-  Executive  Directors  and  the  Executive  Director.  The  Board's  remuneration  policy  is  to  ensure  that  the 
remuneration package properly reflects the person's duties and responsibilities, with the overall objective of ensuring 
maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high -quality board and executive team. Such officers are given 
the opportunity to receive their base emolument in a variety of forms. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen 
will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost to the Group. In accordance with best practice corporate 
governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct. 

Non-Executive Director Remuneration 

OObbjjeeccttiivvee  
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain 
directors of a high calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. 

SSttrruuccttuurree  
Remuneration of non-executive directors is determined by the Board, within the maximum amount approved by the 
shareholders from time to time (currently set at an aggregate of $400,000 per annum). 

The  amount  of  aggregate  remuneration  sought  to  be  approved  by  shareholders  and  the  manner  in  which  it  is 
apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers the fees paid to non-executive directors of 
comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.  

Each non-executive director receives a fee for being a director of the Group. Non-Executive Directors receive an annual 
fee of $40,000 plus statutory superannuation. Non-Executive Directors who are called upon to perform extra services 
beyond the director’s ordinary duties may be paid additional fees for those services. No fees were paid to Non- Executive 
Directors for additional services during the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: $Nil).  

Non-executive directors may also be granted options from time to time. The options granted are considered by the 
Board to be an effective means of appropriately compensating Directors whilst preserving the Company’s cash reserves 
and providing an alignment between Director and shareholder interests. 

Executive Director and Key Management Personnel Remuneration 

OObbjjeeccttiivvee  
The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and 
responsibilities within the Group so as to: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

Reward executives for Group and individual performance against agreed targets; 
Align the interest of executives with those of shareholders; 
Link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and 
Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. 

SSttrruuccttuurree  
In  determining  the  level  and  make-up  of  executive  remuneration,  the  Board  has  had  regard  to  market  levels  of 
remuneration for comparable executive roles. It is the Board's policy that employment contracts are entered into with 
all senior executives.

Variable Remuneration - Short and Long-Term Incentives 

OObbjjeeccttiivvee  
The objectives of the incentives plan are to: 
• 

Recognise the ability and efforts of the employees of the Group who have contributed to the success of the Group 
and to provide them with rewards where deemed appropriate; 
Provide  an  incentive  to  the  employees  to  achieve  the  long-term  objectives  of  the  Group  and  improve  the 
performance of the Group; and 
Attract persons of experience and ability to employment with the Group and foster and promote loyalty between 
the Group and its employees. 

• 

• 

SSttrruuccttuurree  
Long term incentives granted to senior executives are delivered in the form of options in accordance with an Employee 
Share Option Plan. As part of the Group's annual strategic planning process, the Board and management agree upon a 
set  of  financial  and  non-financial  objectives  for  the  Group.  The  objectives  form  the  basis  of  the  assessment  of 
management performance and vary but are targeted directly to the Group's business and financial performance and 
thus to shareholder value. 

bb))  RReemmuunneerraattiioonn,,  GGrroouupp  ppeerrffoorrmmaannccee  aanndd  sshhaarreehhoollddeerr  wweeaalltthh  

The development of remuneration policies and structures is considered in relation to the effect on Group performance 
and  shareholder  wealth.  They  are  designed  by  the  Board  to  align  Director  and  Executive  behaviour  with  improving 
Group performance and ultimately shareholder wealth. The Board considers at this stage in the Group’s development, 
that share price growth itself is an adequate measure of total shareholder return.  

Executives are currently remunerated by a combination of cash base remuneration and options. The options granted 
are considered by the Board to provide an alignment between the employees and shareholders interests.  

The table below shows for the current financial year and previous four financial years the total remuneration cost of 
the key management personnel, earnings per ordinary share (EPS), dividends paid or declared, and the closing price of 
ordinary shares on ASX at year end.

The  number  of  options  over  ordinary  shares  in  the  company  provided  as  remuneration  to  directors  and  key 
management personnel is shown in section (e) below. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary 
share of Chesser Resources Limited.  

Options are granted to attract, retain and incentivise key management personnel.  

The  board  has  rules  that  contain  restrictions on  removing  the  ‘at  risk’  aspect  of  the  options  granted  to  executives. 
Executives may not enter into any transactions designed to remove the ‘at risk’ aspect of an instrument before it vests.  

Except as noted above, there are no performance hurdles attaching to the options granted other than service vesting 
conditions.  In  the  event  of  termination  (specified  circumstances)  only  vested  options  are  entitled  to  be  exercised. 
Unvested options are forfeited.  

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period from grant 
date  to  vesting  date,  and  the  amount  is  included  in  the  remuneration  tables  above.  Fair  values  at  grant  date  are 
independently determined using a trinomial option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term 
of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend 
yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.  

Shares provided on exercise of remuneration options  
During the financial year, 2,000,000 options previously issued as remuneration were exercised. The fair value of those 
options at the time of exercise was $14,000  (2019: nil options exercised)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of Chesser Resources Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of Chesser Resources Limited, (“the Company”) and its controlled 
entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, 
the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year 
then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, 
and the directors’ declaration.  

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

(a) 

(b) 

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial 
performance for the year then ended; and  
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for Opinion  

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

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

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

Key Audit Matters  

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

represents a significant balance recorded in 
the consolidated Statement of Financial 
Position. 

AASB6 Exploration for and Evaluation of 
Mineral Resources requires the exploration 
and evaluation assets to be assessed for 
impairment when facts and circumstances 
suggest that the carrying amount may exceed 
its recoverable amount. 

As described in Note 5 to the financial 
statements, management performed an 
impairment assessment at 30 June 2020 in 
accordance with the accounting policy 
described in Note 13 which required 
management to make certain estimates and 
assumptions as to future events and 
circumstances surrounding the development 
and commercial exploitation of their Senegal 
Projects. 

Our procedures included: 

• Understanding the control environment

through which exploration and evaluation
expenditure is incurred, recorded and
assessed for impairment;

• Obtaining an understanding of the status of
ongoing exploration programs and future
intentions for the areas of interest, including
future budget spend and related work
programs;

• Enquiring of management and reviewed ASX
announcements and minutes of directors
meetings to ensure the group had not
decided to discontinue exploration and
evaluation at its areas of interest;

• Reviewing the director’s estimates and

assumptions included in their assessment of
potential indicators of impairment;

• Assessing whether the relevant expenditure
meets the asset recognition requirements of
AASB6 Exploration for and Evaluation of
Mineral Resources;

• Verifying that each exploration licence

remains valid; and

• Assessing the adequacy of the related

disclosures made in Note 5 and Note 13 of
the financial statements.

Other Information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial 
report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

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

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report  

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

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material 
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve 
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  
•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we 
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to 
the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our 
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s 
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going 
concern.  

•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 

disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation. 

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 

business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible 
for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group 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, actions taken to eliminate 
threats or safeguards applied.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. 
We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure 
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be 
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be 
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.  

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report  

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 14 to 20 of the directors’ report for the year 
ended 30 June 2020. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Chesser Resources Limited, for the year 
ended 30 June 2020, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration 
Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing 
Standards.

The consolidated general purpose financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for 
certain financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting 
period,  as  explained  in  the  accounting  policies  below.  Historical  cost  is  generally  based  on  the  fair  values  of  the 
consideration  given  in  exchange  for  goods  and  services.  All  amounts  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars,  unless 
otherwise noted. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an 
orderly  transaction  between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date,  regardless  of  whether  that  price  is 
directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, 
the  Group  takes  into  account  the  characteristics  of  the  asset  or  liability  if  market  participants  would  take  those 
characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement 
and/or  disclosure  purposes  in  these  consolidated  financial  statements  is  determined  on  such  a  basis,  except  for 
share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB2 and measurements that have some similarities 
to fair value but are not fair value such as value in use in AASB 136. 

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on 
the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurement are observable and the significance of the inputs to 
the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows: 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that that the entity 
can access at the measurement date. 

Level  2  inputs  are  inputs,  other  than  quoted  prices  included  within  Level  1,  that  are  observable  for  the  asset  or 
liability, either directly or indirectly; and 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

PPrriinncciipplleess  ooff  ccoonnssoolliiddaattiioonn  

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Chesser Resources 
Limited ("Company" or "parent entity") as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. 
Chesser Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the 
consolidated entity. 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an 
entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has 
the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. 

Subsidiaries  are  fully  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  transferred  to  the  Group.  They  are  de- 
consolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the 
acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group.  Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions 
between  Group  companies  are  eliminated.  Unrealised  losses  are  also  eliminated  unless  the  transaction  provides 
evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where 
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income 
statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.

Functional and presentation currency 
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the 
primary economic environment in which the entity operated ("the functional currency"). The consolidated financial 
statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Chesser Resources Limited's functional and presentation 
currency. 

Transactions and balances 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the 
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and 
from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 
are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying 
net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the income statement, within finance 
costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement on a net basis within other 
income or other expenses. 

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at 
the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are 
reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non- monetary assets and 
liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair 
value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale 
financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

Group companies 
The  results  and  financial  position  of  foreign  operations  (none  of  which  has  the  currency  of  a  hyperinflationary 
economy)  that  have  a  functional  currency  different  from  the  presentation  currency  are  translated  into  the 
presentation currency as follows: 

•  Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that 

• 

balance sheet 
Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates 
(unless this is not a recognizable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the 
transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the date of the transactions), and 

•  All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. 

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of 
borrowings  and  other  financial  instruments  designated  as  hedges  of  such  investments,  are  recognized  in  other 
comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are 
repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange difference is reclassed to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on 
sale where applicable.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and 
trade  and  other  payables.  The  Group  does  not  currently  have  any  projects  in  production  and  as such  the  main 
purpose of these financial instruments is to provide liquidity to finance the Group’s development and exploration 
activities. It is, and has been throughout the financial year, the Group’s policy that no trading in speculative financial 
instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group’s use of financial instruments are liquidity 
risk, counterparty or credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. During the year the Group has had some 
transactional currency exposures, principally to the US dollar, the Western African Franc and the Euro. The Group 
has not entered into forward currency contracts to hedge these exposures due to the short time frame associated 
with  the  currency  exposure  and  the  relatively  modest  overall  exposure  at  any  one  point  in  time.  Primary 
responsibility for identification and control of financial risk rests with the board of directors. However, the day-to-
day management of these risks is under the control of the Chief Financial Officer. The Board agrees the strategy for 
managing future cash flow requirements and projections.  

The Group holds the following financial instruments all of which are carried at amortised cost.

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian dollar against 
the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to 
key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign 
exchange  rates.  A  negative  number  in  the  table  represents  a  decrease  in  the  operating  profit  before  tax  and 
reduction in equity where the Australian dollar strengthens against the relevant currency. For a 10% strengthening 
of the Australian dollar against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the loss or equity, 
and the balances below would be positive.

Credit risk primarily arises from cash and cash equivalents and term deposits deposited with banks and receivables. Cash 
and  cash  equivalents  and  term  deposits  are  primarily  placed  with  National  Australia  Bank  Limited,  which  has  an 
independently rated credit rating of A1+. The Company has no past due or impaired financial assets in the period covered

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents in order to meet the Group’s 
forecast requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and 
matching  the  maturity  profiles  of  financial  assets  and  liabilities.  Surplus  funds  are  generally  only  invested  in  bank 
deposits. At reporting date, the Group did not have access to any undrawn borrowing facilities.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried at their fair value as determined by reference to quoted 
bid prices in an active, liquid market (Level 1). The carrying amount of other financial assets (net of any provision for 
impairment) and financial liabilities as disclosed above is assumed to approximate their fair values primarily due to their 
short maturities.  

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including 
expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable 
under the circumstances.

 When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions 
about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.  The actual results may differ from the 
judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  made  by  management,  and  will  seldom  equal  the  estimated  results.  
Information  about  significant  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  have  the  most  significant  effect  on 
recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expense is provided below. 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure 
As at 30 June 2020 the Group had capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure of $6,596,618 in relation to the 
Senegal Projects. The ultimate recoupment of capitalised exploration and development expenditure is dependent on 
the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale, of the respective areas of interest. The 
Company’s  continued  development  of  its  mineral  property  interests  is  dependent  upon  the  determination  of 
economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the financing necessary to maintain operations, 
successfully complete its exploration and development programs and the attainment of future profitable production.   
The recognition of this expenditure as an asset requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to 
future events and circumstances. These estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. 
If after having capitalised expenditure under the accounting policy a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure 
is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. 

Share based payments 
The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at 
the date at which they are granted. Fair value is calculated using a trinomial valuation model, taking into account the 
terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The assumptions used in these valuation models is set out 
in note 16. 

Deferred tax assets 
No members of the Group have generated taxable income in the financial year and as such the Group continues to carry 
forward tax losses that give rise to deferred tax assets. Given that the Group’s projects remain in early exploration stages, 
it is unlikely that the Group will generate taxable income in the foreseeable future in the absence of asset sales. 

Taking  account  of  the  above,  the  deferred  tax  assets  have  not  been  recognised  in  the  financial  statements  as 
management does not believe that the members of the Group satisfy the criteria set out in AASB 112.

SSeeggmmeenntt  iinnffoorrmmaattiioonn  

The  Group  has  identified  its  operating  segments  based  on  the  internal  reports  that  were  reviewed  and  used  by  the 
Managing  Director  or  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  (Chief  Operating  Decision  Maker)  in  assessing  performance  and 
determining the allocation of resources during the year.  

The Group is managed primarily on a geographic basis, that is, the location of the respective areas of interest. Operating 
segments are therefore determined on the same basis. 

AAccccoouunnttiinngg  ppoolliiccyy  
The Chief Operating Decision Maker assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of gross 
expenditure  that  includes  both  expenditure  that  is  capitalised  in  these  financial  statements  and  expenditure  that  is 
expensed  in  the  income  statement  in  these  financial  statements.    The  measurement  of  gross  expenditure  does  not 
include the impairment of exploration expenditure or non-cash items such as depreciation expense and share based 
payments expense.  Interest revenue is allocated to the Corporate segment.   Other items of revenue are not allocated 
to segments.

Senegal Projects 
The Senegal Projects, which during the financial consisted of two exploration projects, are located adjacent and to the 
west of the Senegal Mali Shear Zone in the Kédougou Inlier with a total area of 295kms2.  The projects are: Diamba Sud 
and Diamba Nord.  

During  the  2019  financial  year,  the  Company  relinquished  its  interests  in  the  Woye,  Youboubou  and  Garaboureya 
projects and impaired all capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure relating to those projects. 

Corporate 
Expenditure incurred that is not directly allocated to other segments is reported as corporate costs in the internal 
reports prepared for the chief operating decision maker. 

The following tables present revenue and profit information for the Group’s operating segments for the year ended 
30 June 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Interest 
Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective 
interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of 
the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. 

Government grants 
Government grant revenue is recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be 
received.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of the 
following items: 
Temporary differences and tax losses at 27.5% (2019: 27.5%)

Tax losses do not expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of 
these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilise 
the benefits from the deferred tax assets. The benefit of the tax losses will only be available if the Company, or a 
tax consolidated group of which it is a member, derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount 
sufficient  to  enable  the  benefit  from  the  tax  losses  to  be  realised,  has  complied  and  continues  to  comply  with 
conditions for deductibility imposed by current tax legislation and there are no adverse changes to such legislation. 
The conditions for deductibility of the carried forward tax losses (continuity of ownership test and continuity of 
business  test)  will  need  to  be  considered  in  light  of  any  changes  that  may  occur  in  both  the  ownership  of  the 
Company and the nature of the Company’s business activities.  

AAccccoouunnttiinngg  ppoolliiccyy  
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based 
on the national income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary 
differences and to unused tax losses.  

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end 
of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate 
taxable  income,  Management  periodically  evaluates  positions  taken  in  tax  returns  with  respect  to  situations  in 
which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis 
of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.  

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax 
bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  However, 
deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction 
other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit 
or  loss.  Deferred  income  tax  is  determined  using  tax  rates  (and  laws)  that  have  been  enacted  or  substantially 
enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised 
or the deferred income tax liability is settled.  

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable 
that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.  

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amounts and 
tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal 
of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and 
liabilities  and  when  the  deferred  tax  balances  relate  to  the  same  taxation  authority.  Current  tax  assets  and  tax 
liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net 
basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.  

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in 
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity, respectively.

Other receivables represent the Company’s GST receivable and deposits paid in advance of drilling.

Trade  and  other  receivables  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  at  the  amount  considered 
recoverable.  Trade  and  other  receivables  are  generally  due  for  settlement  within  30  days  except  for  advance 
payments made on drilling contracts. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for 
more than 12 months after the reporting date.  

Collectability of trade receivables is assessed for expected credit losses on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known 
to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that 
is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

 Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, 
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost 
of  the  item  can  be  measured  reliably.  All  other  repairs  and  maintenance  are  charged  to  the  income  statement 
during the financial period in which they are incurred.  

Depreciation of assets is calculated on the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, 
over their estimated useful lives. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:

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 carrying amount. These are included in 
profit or loss.

Impairment of exploration expenditure 

During the year ended 30 June 2019 the Group impaired of exploration and evaluation expenditure related to the 
Woye,  Youboubou  and  Garaboureya  projects  as  the  exploration  activity  undertaken  by  Chesser  subsequent  to 
acquiring  the  projects  has  not  indicated  sufficient  exploration  potential  to  justify  Chesser  undertaking  further 
exploration activity and as such Chesser has relinquished or surrendered its interest in those tenements. 

The ultimate recoupment of capitalised exploration and development expenditure is dependent on the successful 
development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale, of the respective areas of interest. The Company’s 
continued  development  of  its  mineral  property  interests  is  dependent  upon  the  determination  of  economically 
recoverable  reserves,  the  ability  of  the  Company  to  obtain  the  financing  necessary  to  maintain  operations, 
successfully  complete  its  exploration  and  development  programs  and  the  attainment  of  future  profitable 
production.    

AAccccoouunnttiinngg  PPoolliiccyy    
Exploration  and  evaluation  costs,  including  the  costs  of  acquiring  licences,  are  capitalised  as  exploration  and 
evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the consolidated entity has obtained the legal 
rights to explore an area are recognised in profit or loss.  

Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights to the area of interest are current and either:  

• 

• 

the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area 
of interest or by its sale; or  
activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable 
assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant 
operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.  

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical

feasibility  and  commercial  viability  and  facts  and  circumstances  suggest  that  the  carrying  amount  exceeds  the 
recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to 
cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than 
the area of interest. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of an area of interest are demonstrable, 
exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then 
reclassified  from  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  to  property  and  development  assets  within  property, 
plant and equipment. 

Restoration  costs  that  are  expected  to  be  incurred  are  provided  for  as  part  of  the  cost  of  the  exploration  and 
evaluation phases that give rise to the need for restoration. Accordingly, these costs will be recognised gradually 
over the life of the project as the phases occur.

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the 
financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are usually paid within 30 
days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 
12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measure at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method.

maintain a structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available and to ensure adequate capital is available 
to meet the Group’s forecast expenditure commitments. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the 
Group may seek to issue new shares. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the statement of financial

Foreign currency translation reserve  
The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the 
financial statements of foreign controlled subsidiaries. 

Share based payments reserve  
The Share based payment reserve is used to record the fair value of share-based payments made by the Company. 

AAccccoouunnttiinngg  PPoolliiccyy  
Share-based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to  directors  and  key  management  personnel  and  to  external 
service provides as consideration services provided. 

The fair value at grant date is determined using an option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, 
the  term  of  the  option,  the  share  price  at  grant  date  and  expected  price  volatility  of  the  underlying  share,  the 
expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. 

The  fair  value  of  options  granted  as  remuneration  is  recognised  as  share-based  payments  expense  with  a 
corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of 
the options granted, which includes any market performance conditions but excludes the impact of any service and 
non-market performance vesting conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions. 

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. 
The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting 
conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options 
that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to 
original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. 

The following share-based payment transactions were recognised during the year:

(v)  On 15 March 2019 the Group issued 600,000 Loan Funded Shares to a Director.  The Director was granted an 
interest free limited recourse loan to assist in the purchase of Shares, with the Shares acquired at their market 
value.   The  loan  will  be  limited  recourse  so  that  at  any  time  the  Director  may  divest  their  Shares  in  full 
satisfaction of the loan balance. 

In accordance with the requirements of applicable AASB2, the loan funded shares are to be accounted for as 
an option granted to the employee with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s shares 
at the grant date. Consequently, the loan funded shares have been valued using an option pricing model using 
the following inputs:

Options  and  other  potential  equity  securities  on  issue  at  the  end  of  the  period  have  not  been  included  in  the 
determination of diluted earnings per share as the Group has incurred a loss for the period and they are therefore 
not dilutive in nature.  

AAccccoouunnttiinngg  ppoolliiccyy  
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any 
costs  of  servicing  equity  (other  than  dividends),  dividend  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares, 
adjusted for any bonus element.  The diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to 
members of the parent dividend by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary 
shares, adjusted for any bonus element. The weighted average number of shares was based on the consolidated 
weighted average number of shares in the reporting period.  The net profit or loss attributable to members of the 
parent is adjusted for: 

•  Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; 
• 

The after-tax effect if dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have 
been recognised as expenses; and 

•  Other  non-discretionary  changes  in  revenue  or  expenses  during  the  period  that  would  result  from  the 

dilution of potential ordinary shares.
