Chairman’s Statement 

Dear Shareholders, 

In  my  statement  last  year,  I  had  advised  you  that  in  concert  with  the  change  of  priority  from 
exploration  to  development  and  production,  much  effort  must  be  exerted  to  harness  strong 
relations with the landowners and the authorities to establish mutual trust between the parties. I 
can  now  report  that  these  efforts  have  brought  relationships  to  a  much  firmer  footing  in  our 
integration  within  the  community  in  Papua  New  Guinea  to  ensure  that  our  operations  are  run 
smoothly with local support. 

It is important for me to point out that as a prelude to gold production, it is necessary to develop at 
the HGZ the gold bearing structures along with development sampling, and such in-depth activities 
took place early in the year. We were particularly pleased with the sampling results which revealed 
bonanza grade gold along certain veins. However, as the mining operations progressed along the 
1960 level adit, it gradually became apparent that a portion of the high grade gold had already been 
extracted by the previous  artisanal  miners,  thus  resulting  in  somewhat disappointing  production 
and sales results.  Regardless, the rock tonnage mined and stockpiled continues to be processed to 
extract as much gold concentrate as possible to be refined for sale. 

A management decision was recently taken to commence development of a second adit at the 1930 
level hitherto untouched by artisanal miners, and the Company is confident that when this comes 
into full swing in the forthcoming months, high grade gold production will accelerate significantly. 
In February this year, the Company has also made a discovery at the South Artisanal Workings which 
identified a potential for additional mineralization in close proximity to the HGZ mine and that could 
potentially lead to a longer life operation at the HGZ. 

The Board of Directors and I recognize the valuable support we receive from our shareholders and 
we  thank  all  of  you  for  your  patience  in  giving  us  the  necessary  time  to  bring  the  HGZ  to  the 
realization of its full potential. The board and the management are fully committed to this end, and 
every effort within our means and capabilities will be made to bring this about. 

The Board wishes to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to the management 
and all our staff for their hard work and dedication which I am sure will yield rewards for all.

Review of Operations 

Company Focus –   High Grade Zone gold mine at Crater Mountain, Papua New Guinea  

The year ending 30 June 2016 was one of major advancement for Crater Gold Mining Limited (“CGN” or the “Company”) 
and its subsidiary companies (“the Group”).  The Company commenced gold mining production with its updated gold 
mining plant at the HGZ mine at Crater mountain in Papua New Guinea. 

The year saw the completion, shipping and commissioning of an upgraded gold mining plant.  Further development of 
the HGZ gold bearing structures along with continuing development sampling within the HGZ mine was the other focus 
for the Company during the year. 

The company made a discovery at the South Artisanal Workings (SAW) Zone (refer ASX Announcement 1 February 2016) 
which  also represents the  potential  for  additional  mineralisation in  close  proximity to  the  HGZ  mine and  that  could 
potentially lead to a longer mine life operation at the HGZ. 

The objective of the Company is ongoing cash flow to establish the Company as a profitable gold producer.  The HGZ 
project is expected to be a high margin operation because of our average low cost of production.  We anticipate that 
the HGZ mine will generate strong cashflows, which will fund further expansion at the HGZ mine and enable further 
exploration activities at the Company's other assets in PNG and Queensland, Australia. 

While  the  current  focus  remains  on  the  HGZ  mine,  there  remains  potential  to  increase  the  current  JORC  compliant 
resource of 24Mt at 1.0 g/t Au for 790,000 ounces at the nearby Mixing Zone project at Crater Mountain (refer ASX 
Release  of  24  November  2011:  “Crater  Mt  –  Initial  Resource  Estimate”.    This  information  was  prepared  and  first 
disclosed under the JORC Code 2004.  It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis 
that  the  information  has not  materially  changed  since  it  was  last  reported.    The  Company  is  not  aware  of  any  new 
information or data that materially affects the information contained in that ASX release.  All material assumptions and 
technical parameters underpinning the resource estimate continue to apply and have not materially changed). 

Crater Mountain is located 50 km southwest of Goroka in the Eastern Highlands Province of PNG.  Formerly a tier-1 BHP 
asset,  there  has  been  in  excess  of  14,500  metres  of  diamond  drilling  to  date,  the  majority  focussed  on  the  Nevera 
prospect, which hosts the HGZ mine and the Mixing Zone project.

Review of Operations 

Activities 

High Grade Zone Mine Crater Mountain, Papua New Guinea 

Gold mining production 

During the year the Company announced that it commenced gold production at the HGZ mining project. As at 30 June 
2016 the Company had received $384,800 in gold sales from its custom-made gold processing plant at the HGZ gold 
mining project.  The gold sales are from a combination of processed material from stockpiled material derived from 
initial development work, and from stoping material at the HGZ project.  Gold production is continuing on an ongoing 
basis. 

With improved understanding of the geology and controls to mineralisation production is expected to ramp up rapidly 
over the next few months as new material is sourced from the higher grade material of the central high grade gold block 
of the HGZ mine (see ASX release 10 February 2016 for details of the block).   

The mining priority at the HGZ is the intersection of N-S trending structures.  Mineralisation is confined to numerous 
narrow  highly  oxidised  veins  trending  approximately  north-south  with  several  cross  cutting  east  west  structures.  
Development and drilling has shown that the junction of these structures is favourable for the occurrence of bonanza 
grades of  coarse free gold up to 847 g/t Au (27.2 oz/t Au) (refer ASX release of 19 November 2013 : “Bonanza gold 
grades intersected at High Grade Zone”.  The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially 
affects the information contained in that ASX release). 

The HGZ is an area of recent artisanal gold mining in which an estimated 15,000 ounces of gold was produced by local 
miners largely from shallow underground workings and simple gravity processing between 2005 and early 2013. 

Gold mining plant upgrade 

The  upgraded  mining  plant  including  two  new  hammer  mills,  high  speed  centrifugal  concentrators,  gravity  shaking 
tables and a new compressor were ordered, shipped and commissioned during the year. 

The incorporation of the upgraded mining plant plus increased underground development will result in higher mining 
production.   

The new centrifugal concentrators and shaking table will provide better recovery efficiencies when compared to the 
previous testing plant.   

Gold Bearing Structure Development 

The Company is prioritising locating the extensions of the high grade shoots and their connecting structures in order to 
stope upwards on them and efficiently extract between the 1960RL level and the surface.  The nature of mineralisation 
localised by intersecting fracture sets is such that additional high grade shoots and splays not located by the local miners 
can be expected to be identified in the course of ongoing development. 

The  predominant  trend is approximately  N-S.   There are  also  a  number  of  steeply  dipping  cross  cutting  mineralised 
structures with an approximate EW orientation.  Underground observations have also been made of relatively shallow 
dipping structures noted to be link structures between the NS and EW sets.  All of these sets of structures have returned 
high gold values.  The intersection of the steeply dipping NS and EW structures together with the occurrence of shallow 
dipping link structures is considered to play an important role in the control to mineralisation resulting in bonanza gold 
grades.   

Drive development and limited trial stoping was carried out with a combination of jack picking where ground conditions 
were suitable and drill and blast where the rock was more competent. This allows narrow self- supporting excavations 
to be made. Excellent ground conditions were encountered for this type of mining with little need for supplementary 
support.

Review of Operations 

Development  at  the  HGZ  gold  mine  project  during  2015  covered  an  approximate  extent  of  60m  NS  and  30m  EW 
identifying those structures considered to be controlling the gold mineralisation and confirming the results of diamond 
drilling carried out in 2014. 

A second adit level at approximately 1930RL is being planned to commence in due course to open up an additional 30m 
vertical extent of known shoots.  No artisanal mining took place between 1930 level and 1960 level resulting in all the 
mineralised shoots being intact. 

A  refreshed  geological  interpretation  has  resulted  in  an  improved  understanding  of  the  controls  to  mineralisation 
enabling mining to be better focussed.  

This fresh geological interpretation with resultant improved understanding of the controls to mineralisation will enable 
mining to be focussed within the zone described above.  This will allow delineation of the extent of the shoots so they 
may  be  mined  up  and  down  dip.    Mining  rates  during  exploration  development  were  restricted  by  low  compressor 
capacity.  

High Grade Central Zone identified  

Reinterpretation  of  geological  mapping  and  alteration  shows  a  central  core  of  massive  crystalline  silica  with  strong 
presence of structurally controlled manganese oxide associated with hematite and limonite.  The brittle nature of this 
zone has been conducive to formation of tension cracks allowing the introduction of mineralising fluids. 

More visible gold has been observed with a higher frequency of elevated gold grades in this central zone than elsewhere 
in the system.   

This is validated by bonanza grades reported in development in November 2013 and also Drill hole Nev 59 which passes 
through the middle of this zone, which returned 9.0m at 30.8 g/t Au from 28.5m, including 5.0m at 33.1 g/t Au and 2.5m 
at 44.3 g/t Au. (refer ASX release of 19 November 2013: “Bonanza gold grades intersected at High Grade Zone” and ASX 
release of 4 May 2015 “High Grade Zone Mining development and Drilling Update”). 

The highest grades encountered in the Link development are interpreted to coincide with the intersection of several 
flat dipping, around 60 deg, cross cutting EW structures which terminate on the JL and NVI structures either side.  

Drilling confirms that this zone continues to depth and can be accessed from future lower level development. 
This new interpretation will allow for a focussed mining plan to be undertaken.

High Grade Gold Discovery 430m south of HGZ gold project 

The Company announced the discovery of further high grade sampling results within ML 510, 430m south of the HGZ 
gold project at Crater Mountain. The new mineralized zone has been named the South Artisan Workings (SAW) Zone 
and is shown in Figure 2.

Review of Operations 

The Company undertook a sampling program at the SAW Zone after three horizontal drives had been excavated there 
by local artisanal miners into the side of a spur approximately 430 metres south of the Company’s current High Grade 
Zone project.  

The Company’s sampling results included a sidewall channel sample assaying 46.6 g/t Au over 1.0m situated 2m from 
the entrance and  a  vein  sample of  18.0  g/t  Au  over  0.2m  situated  3m  from the  entrance of  the  same  working.  The 
workings follow an east-west trending structure at different elevations between 1920 and 1945 mamsl.  This compares 
to the current HGZ operation at 1960 mamsl. 

The similarities with the Company’s current HGZ project suggest this discovery could be an extension of the current HGZ 
project or another independent high grade gold deposit. 

Independent consultant Andrew Vigar of Mining Associates reported in October 2013 following a site visit to the HGZ 
project that “it is likely that similar independent high grade gold deposits may be repeated at several places as splays 
off key structures over a potential area of at least 1400m by 700m and that “the broader Crater Project area is at least 
20km across and is a major system”.  

The  discovery  of  the  SAW  Zone  is  consistent  with  Vigar’s  report  and  augers  well  for  the  delineation  of  additional 
mineralisation within practical transport distance from the existing HGZ operation.  

We  are  excited  by  this  discovery  as  it  has  the  possibility  to  be  significant  for  the  Company  and  its  HGZ  project.    A 
programme to more comprehensively test the SAW Zone is being designed and will be implemented as soon as practical.   

The follow up programme will involve systematic mapping, trenching and sampling to delineate the possible extent of 
the mineralised structures.

Future strategy 
The Company’s strategy at Crater Mountain is to become a profitable gold producer at the HGZ mine. Increased gold 
production is expected to generate a positive cash flow for the Company enabling it to become self-sustaining and to 
enable it to further develop the HGZ project and its other prospects in PNG and Queensland, Australia. 

Corporate 

Passing of Mr Peter Macnab 

The Board of the Company advised that Director Peter Macnab passed away in December last year. 

Peter had a luminary career in the resource sector, with a particular focus on Papua New Guinea.  Previously the PNG 
Government Geologist, he participated in or was solely responsible for a long list of discoveries including the Frieda 
River copper/gold deposits; Misima’s open pit gold mine; Wafi copper/gold deposits; the Simberi gold deposits; and 
most significantly discovering the world-class Ladolam gold mine on Lihir Island. 

More  recently,  Peter’s  efforts  were  centred  at  Crater  Mountain  for  the  Company  where  he  was  instrumental  in 
developing the Company’s Crater Mountain Mixing Zone and the HGZ gold mining project. 

Peter was an invaluable member of the Board since 2008. 

The Board passes its condolences to Peter’s wife, Maureen and to all of Peter’s family. 

Change of Company Secretary 

Mr  John  Lemon  resigned  as  Company  Secretary  of  Crater  Gold  Mining  Limited  in  order  to  pursue  other  business 
interests.  The Board extended its thanks to Mr Lemon for his contribution to the Company and wished him the best for 
his future endeavours.  

Mr Heath Roberts was appointed Company Secretary.  Mr Roberts is a commercial solicitor with eighteen years ASX 
listed  company  experience,  to  Executive  Director  level.    He  has  acted  as  Company  Secretary  and/or  Director  for 
numerous ASX listed and private companies. 

Share Placements 

The Company successfully completed a two stage capital raising of $3.4 million in November 2015.  The capital raising 
was made up of two tranches with the first tranche of $1.3 million issued to a selection of international institutional 
investors.    The  second  tranche  of  $2.1  million  was  issued  to  Freefire  Technology  Limited  (Freefire),  after  requisite 
shareholder approval was obtained.  

The company also completed a placement of $1.06m in December 2015 to clients of Gobarralong Capital. 

On 4 March 2016 the Company announced that it had undertaken a capital raising to complete the installation of new 
plant and equipment at the HGZ mine site. 

The Company also raised $1.3million through the placement of 16,250,000 shares at 8 cents per share to a combination 
of clients of Gobarralong Capital and to a selection of international institutional investors.  

AGM Shareholder Meeting 

At the Company’s annual general meeting held on the 26th of November 2015, all the resolutions put to shareholders 
were passed.  The Board extends its support to shareholders for their ongoing support.

Review of Operations 

Subsequent to end of year 

Stoping commenced within central high grade block at HGZ Gold mining project 

Subsequent to the end of the year the Company announced that stoping commenced within the central high grade gold 
block at HGZ gold mining project. 

The Company is expecting that the mining rate and the recovered gold grade will increase with stoping now underway. 

Second adit to increase gold production at HGZ Project 

On 25 August 2016 the Company announced that plans are in place to commence the Second Adit at the 1930 level, 
30m below the existing 1960 level adit at the HGZ Project at Crater Mountain.  The area between 1930 level and 1960 
level has not been exploited at all by artisanal miners, unlike the area between 1960 level and surface where artisanal 
workings are frequently encountered and thus the addition of the Second Adit will result in higher gold production as 
both the 1930 and 1960 levels will be producing in tandem. The adit will access the depth continuity of the central block 
of the high grade zone, this will provide more working faces in addition to those being mined above the 1960 level and 
will result in greater flexibility and higher production. 

Mixing Zone exploration  

On 31 August 2016 the Company announced that it is planning to resume exploration within the “Mixing Zone” at Crater 
Mountain, PNG, with a view to carrying out diamond drilling in a broad 300m zone between the HGZ and the Mixing 
Zone for which there is no historical data.  Generally difficult and extreme topography meant that it was not possible to 
place suitable drill platforms on surface during the previous drilling campaign ending in 2012. 

Development  at  the  HGZ  gold  mining  project  since  2013  at  the  1960m  Level  now  provides  the  infrastructure  and 
underground access to be able to construct underground drill platforms.   

This will require an extension of the existing underground HGZ drive for approximately 250m east placing it in the middle 
of the “Mixing Zone” and passing through the zone with no data.   

Immediate benefits of this development will arise from mapping and sampling fresh rock exposures and hence fresh 
interpretation of controls to mineralisation. It will also provide an accurate cross section of the hitherto unmapped or 
drilled  zone.  Interpretation  will  allow  formative  decisions  to  be  made  regarding  future  drilling  and  the  potential  to 
identify the higher grade gold mineralisation within the MZ project that could be exploited concurrently with HGZ. 

Richard Johnson appointed as Director 

The Company announced the appointment of Mr Richard Johnson as a Director of the Company.  

Mr Johnson, who acts as the Company’s PNG General Manager and will continue in that role, is a mining engineer with 
extensive  experience  managing  projects  in  many  regions,  including  PNG.  Between  2002  and  2005,  Richard  was 
responsible for turning around DRDGold’s high grade underground Tolukuma Gold Mine in PNG’s Central Province into 
a  highly  profitable  operation.  He  has  also  held  senior  executive  and  Director  positions  in  several  other  resources 
companies in the region, including Allied Gold and DRDGold. 

Richard has been an integral part of the Crater team for several years now; it is a pleasure to welcome him to the Board. 
His extensive experience in-country will be of great value as Crater moves into the next stage of its operations. 

Underwritten Rights Issue to raise $2.12 million 

On 24 July 2016 the Company announced that it would undertake a non-renounceable pro-rata rights issue of one share 
for every eight shares held at $0.07 (7 cents) per share.  Total funds raised before costs were $2,076,423.  Funds raised 
will be applied towards general administration costs, repayment of debt to Freefire Technology Limited and its working 
capital requirements.

The Company  has a Remuneration and  Nomination Committee.   The Board  has adopted a Remuneration  and Nomination Policy

packages  and  other  terms  of  employment  for  executive  Directors,  other  senior  executives  and  Non-executive  Directors.    The 
performance  of  the  Company  is  taken  into  consideration  when  the  remuneration  policies  of  the  Company  are  assessed  by  the 
Committee.  The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of this Committee. 

Executive Remuneration 
The  remuneration  policy  ensures  that  contracts  for  services  are  reviewed  on  a  regular  basis  and  properly  reflect  the  duties  and 
responsibilities of the individuals concerned.  The executive remuneration structure is based on a number of factors including relevant 
market conditions, knowledge and experience with the industry, organisational experience, performance of the Company and that 
the remuneration is competitive in retaining and attracting motivated people.  There are no guaranteed pay increases included in 
the senior executives' contracts.   

Non-executive Directors 

Fees and payments to Non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors.  
Non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board.

Corporate Governance 
The Board is committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance.  As such, Crater Gold Mining 
Limited and its Controlled Entities (‘the Group’) have adopted a corporate governance framework and practices to ensure they meet 
the interests of shareholders. 

The Australian Securities Exchange Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 3rd 
edition (‘the ASX Principles’) are applicable for financial years commencing on or after 1 July 2015, consequently for the Group’s 30 
June 2016 year end. As a result, the Group has chosen to publish its Corporate Governance Statement on its website rather than in 
this Annual Report.  

The Corporate Governance Statement and governance policies and practices can be found in the corporate governance section of 
the Company’s website at http://www.cratergold.com.au.  

The Group’s Corporate Governance Statement incorporates the disclosures required by the ASX Principles under the headings of the 
eight core principles.  All of these practices, unless otherwise stated, were in place for the full reporting period.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

1 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Crater Gold Mining Limited (the “Company”) and its legal subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or 
the Consolidated Entity. 

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

Crater Gold Mining Limited is a for profit public company, limited by shares and domiciled in Australia.   

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of the Directors, on 27 September 2016.  The 
Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 
a.  Basis of preparation 

This  general  purpose  financial  report  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (AASB),  Australian 
Accounting  Interpretation,  and  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  and  the 
Corporations Act 2001.  These Financial Statements also comply with International Reporting Standards as issued by the International 
Accounting Standards (IASB). 

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 

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

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

Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the consolidated entity from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations are disclosed below.  The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant 
impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity. 

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity: 

 

 

 

AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities      

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2012-3 from 1 July 2014.  The amendments add application guidance to address 
inconsistencies in the application of the offsetting criteria in AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Presentation', by clarifying the 
meaning of 'currently  has a legally enforceable right of set-off'; and clarifies that some gross settlement systems may be 
considered to be equivalent to net settlement.   

AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets    The consolidated entity 
has  applied  AASB  2013-3  from  1  July  2014.    The  disclosure  requirements  of  AASB  136  'Impairment  of  Assets'  have  been 
enhanced  to  require  additional  information  about  the  fair  value measurement when  the  recoverable  amount  of  impaired 
assets is based on fair value less costs of disposals.  Additionally, if measured using a present value technique, the discount 
rate is required to be disclosed.   

AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (Parts A to C)  

The consolidated entity has applied Parts A to C of AASB 2014-1 from 1 July 2014.  These  amendments  affect  the following 
standards: AASB 2 'Share-based Payment': clarifies the definition of 'vesting condition' by separately defining a 'performance  
condition 'and a 'service condition' and amends the definition of 'market condition'; AASB 3 'Business Combinations': clarifies 
that contingent consideration in a business combination is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value 
recognised in profit or loss irrespective of  whether  the contingent consideration is  within the scope of AASB 9; AASB 8 
'Operating Segments': amended to require disclosures of judgements made in applying the aggregation criteria and clarifies 
that  a  reconciliation  of  the  total  reportable  segment  assets  to  the  entity's  assets  is  required  only  if  segment  assets  are 
reported  regularly  to  the  chief  operating  decision  maker;  AASB  13  'Fair  Value  Measurement':  clarifies  that  the  portfolio 
exemption applies to the valuation of contracts within the scope of AASB 9 and AASB 139; AASB 116 'Property, Plant and 
Equipment' and AASB 138 'Intangible Assets': clarifies that on revaluation, restatement of accumulated depreciation will not 
necessarily  be  in  the  same  proportion  to  the  change  in  the  gross  carrying  value  of  the  asset;  AASB  124  'Related  Party 
Disclosures': extends the definition of 'related party' to include a management entity that provides KMP services to the entity 
or its parent and requires disclosure of the fees paid to the management entity; AASB 140 'Investment Property': clarifies 
that the acquisition of an investment property may constitute a business combination.  The consolidated entity has applied 
AASB 10 from 1 July 2013, which has a new definition of 'control'.  Control exists when the reporting entity is exposed, or has 
the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with another entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its 
'power' over that other entity.  A reporting entity has power when it has rights that give it the current ability to direct the 
activities that significantly affect the investee's returns.  The consolidated entity not only has to consider its holdings and 
rights but also the holdings and rights of other shareholders in order to determine whether it has the necessary power for 
consolidation purposes.

Notes to the Financial Statements 

Historical cost convention  

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  as  modified  by  the  revaluation  of  available-for-sale 
financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income 
and certain classes of plant and equipment.   

Critical accounting estimates  

The  preparation  of  the  financial  report  in  conformity  with  Accounting  Standards  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting 
estimates.  It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.  The 
areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial 
statements are disclosed in note 2. 
b.  Parent entity information 

In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the  consolidated  entity  only.  
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 30. 
c.  Principles of consolidation 

Subsidiaries 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company or parent entity as at 
30 June 2016 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. 

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

A list of consolidated entities is contained in note 29 to the financial statements. 

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

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

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

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

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns 
that are different to those of other business segments.  Segment information is provided on the same basis as information used for 
internal  reporting  purposes  by  the  chief  executive  and  the  Board.    In  identifying  its  operating  segments,  management  generally 
follows the Group's project activities.  Each of these activities is managed separately. 
e. 

Foreign currency translation 

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  operates  (‘the  functional  currency’).    The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in 
Australian dollars, which is The Company’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  the  Statement  of 
Consolidated Income, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges. 

Translation differences on non-monetary items, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported as part of the 
fair value gain or loss.  Translation differences on non-monetary items, such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets, 
are included in the fair value reserve in equity. 

Group companies 

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (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: 

Crater Gold Mining Limited 

28 

 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements 

 

 

 

assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that 
Statement of Financial Position; 

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

all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. 

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and 
other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity.  When a foreign operation 
is sold or borrowings repaid a proportionate share of such exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and 
Other Consolidated Income as part of the gain or loss on sale. 

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign entities are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign 
entities and translated at the closing rate. 
f.  Revenue recognition 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.  Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, 
trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. 

Sale of gold 

Sale of gold is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the risks and rewards are 
transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract.  Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade 
discounts. 

Interest revenue 

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent 
in the instrument.   

Other revenue 

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

Income Tax 

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

Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax 
rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.   

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the income statements 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. 

Tax Consolidation 

Crater Gold Mining Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax 
consolidation legislation.  Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Such taxes are 
measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach to allocation.  Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from 
unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity.   

The tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding arrangement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income 
tax payable by the group in proportion to their contribution to the group’s taxable income.  Differences between the amounts of net 

Crater Gold Mining Limited 

29 

 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements 

tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant to the funding arrangement are recognised as either 
a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity. 
h. 

Leases 

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over 
the term of the lease. 
i.  Acquisition of assets 

The purchase method of accounting is used for all acquisitions of assets (including business combinations) regardless of whether 
equity instruments or other assets are acquired.  Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities 
undertaken at the date of acquisition.  Incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition are taken to Profit or Loss under AASB 3. 

Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their market price as at acquisition date, unless 
the notional price at which they could be placed in the market is a better indicator of fair value.   

Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity. 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their 
fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest.  The excess of the cost of acquisition over the 
fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.  If the cost of acquisition is less than the 
fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement, but only after a 
reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired. 

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present 
value as at the date of exchange.  The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar 
borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. 
j. 

Impairment of assets 

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment.  Assets that are 
subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 
may not be recoverable.   

An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  for  the  amount  by  which  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.    The 
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.   

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash 
flows (cash generating units). 
k.  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  includes  cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  financial  institutions,  other  short  term,  highly  liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are 
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.  Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current 
liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position. 
l. 

Investments and other financial assets 

Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting 
date. 

Loans and receivables 

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.  
They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable.  They 
are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the Statement of Financial Position date 
which  are  classified  as  non-current  assets.    Loans  and  receivables  are  included  in  receivables  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of 
Financial Position.  They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 

De-recognition 

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another 
party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset.  
Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire.  The difference between 
the  carrying  value  of  the  financial  liability  extinguished  or  transferred  to  another  party  and  the  fair  value  of  consideration  paid, 
including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in income statements. 

Subsequent measurement  

Available for sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through income statements are subsequently carried at fair value.  
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through income statements category are 
included in the  income statement in the period in which they arise.  Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through 
income statements is recognised in the income statement as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Group’s right to 
receive payments is established. 

Impairment 

The Group assesses at each Reporting Date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is 
impaired.   

Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.

Notes to the Financial Statements 

m.  Comparatives 

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in the presentation for the 
current financial year. 
n.  Exploration and evaluation expenditure 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is capitalised in respect of each identifiable area of interest.  These costs are only 
carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area of interest or 
when  activities  in  the  areas  of  interest  have  not  yet  reached  a  stage  which  permit  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  of 
economically recoverable reserves. 

The ultimate recoupment of capitalised costs is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or sale, of 
the respective areas of interest.  Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit/loss in the 
year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. 

Where costs are capitalised on exploration, evaluation and development, they are amortised over the life of the area of interest to 
which they relate once production has commenced.  Amortisation charges are determined on a production output basis, unless a 
time basis is more appropriate under specific circumstances. 

Exploration, evaluation and development 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. 

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in 
relation to that area of interest.   
o.  Mining assets 

Capitalised mining development costs include expenditures incurred to develop new ore bodies to define further mineralisation in 
existing ore bodies, to expand the capacity of a mine and to maintain production.  Mining development also includes costs transferred 
from exploration and evaluation phase once production commences in the area of interest. 

Amortisation of mining development is computed by the units of production basis over the estimated proved and probable reserves.  
Proved and probable mineral reserves reflect estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves which can be recovered in 
the  future  from  known  mineral  deposits.    These  reserves  are  amortised  from  the  date  on  which  production  commences.    The 
amortisation  is  calculated  from  recoverable  proven  and  probable  reserves  and  a  predetermined  percentage  of  the  recoverable 
measured, indicated and inferred resource.  This percentage is reviewed annually. 

Restoration costs expected to be incurred are provided for as part of development phase that give rise to the need for restoration. 
p.  Plant and equipment 

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. 

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. 

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and 
an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 

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 

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group commencing 
from the time the asset is held ready for use.   

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

Asset 

Depreciation rates 

Plant and Equipment 

4% – 50% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each Statement of Financial Position date. 

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount where there are indicators of impairment. 

The Company uses the unit-of-production basis when depreciating mine specific assets which results in a depreciation/amortisation 
charge proportional to the depletion of the anticipated remaining life of mine production.   

Crater Gold Mining Limited 

31 

 
 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements 

Amortisation of mine development costs is provided using the unit-of-production method. 
q.  Trade and other payables 

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

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment.  Due 
to their short term nature they are not discounted. 
r.  Borrowings 

Borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  net  of  transaction  costs  and  subsequently  at  amortised  cost,  using  the  effective 
interest method. 

Convertible notes 

The  component  of  the  convertible  notes  that  exhibits  characteristics  of  a  liability  is  recognised  as  a  liability  in  the  statement  of 
financial position, net of transaction costs. 

On the issue of the convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent 
non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a non-current liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion 
or redemption.  The increase in the liability due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.  The remainder of the proceeds 
are allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders’ equity as a convertible note reserve, net of 
transaction costs.  The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in the subsequent years.  The corresponding 
interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss. 
s. 

Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 
12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits 

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

Share-based payments 

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the 
expired portion of the vesting period. 

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

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss.  The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the 
liability. 

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

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

Crater Gold Mining Limited 

32 

 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements 

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

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

Contributed equity 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of GST, from the 
proceeds.  Incremental costs  directly attributable to the  issue of new  shares or  options for the acquisition of a  business are  not 
included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. 
u.  Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of 
servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial 
year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. 

Diluted earnings per share  

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after 
income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average 
number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

Potential ordinary shares are anti-dilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares would increase earnings per share or decrease 
loss per share from continuing operations.  The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or 
other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. 
v.  Rounding of amounts 

The Company is of a kind referred to in Class order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating 
to the ''rounding off'' of amounts in the financial report.  Amounts in the financial report have not been rounded off in accordance 
with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, but to the nearest dollar. 
w.  Goods and services tax (GST) and other similar taxes 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from 
the taxation authority.  In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable.  The net amount of GST recoverable from, 
or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis.  The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are 
recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority are presented as an operating cash flow. 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed gross of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authorities. 
x.  Borrowing costs 

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period 
of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially 
ready for their intended use or sale.   

All other borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. 
y.  Rehabilitation costs 

The Company records the present value of the estimated cost of legal and constructive obligations to restore operating locations in 
the period in which the obligation is incurred.  The nature of restoration activities includes dismantling and removing structures, 
rehabilitating mines, dismantling operating facilities, closure of plant and waste sites and restoration, reclamation and revegetation 
of afflicted areas.   

When the liability is initially recorded, the present value of the estimated cost is capitalised by increasing the carrying amount of the 
related mining assets. 
z.  New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have 
not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2016.  The consolidated entity's 
assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated 
entity, are set out below. 

 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments and its consequential amendments 

This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 
2017 and completes phases I and III of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 (AASB 139) 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement'.    This  standard  introduces  new  classification  and  measurement  models  for  financial  assets,  using  a  single 
approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value.  The accounting for financial 

Crater Gold Mining Limited 

33 

 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements 

liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion 
of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it 
would create an accounting mismatch.  Chapter 6 'Hedge Accounting' supersedes the general hedge accounting requirements 
in  AASB  139  and  provides  a  new  simpler  approach  to  hedge  accounting  that  is  intended  to  more  closely  align  with  risk 
management activities undertaken by entities when hedging financial and non-financial risks.  The consolidated entity will 
adopt  this  standard  and  the  amendments  from  1  July  2017  but  the  impact  of  its  adoption  is  yet  to  be  assessed  by  the 
consolidated entity.   

 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.  The standard provides a single 
standard for revenue recognition.  The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the 
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects 
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) 
to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, 
adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance 
obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct 
observable  prices  exist;  and  recognition  of  revenue  when  each  performance  obligation  is  satisfied.    Credit  risk  will  be 
presented  separately  as  an  expense  rather  than  adjusted  to  revenue.    For  goods,  the  performance  obligation  would  be 
satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods.  For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the 
service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers.  For performance obligations satisfied 
over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised 
as the performance obligation is satisfied.  Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial 
position  as  a  contract  liability,  a  contract  asset,  or  a  receivable,  depending  on  the  relationship  between  the  entity's 
performance and the customer's payment.  Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to 
understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and 
any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer.  The consolidated entity will adopt this 
standard from 1 July 2017 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

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. 

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future.  The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom 
equal the actual results.  The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities are set out below. 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure is reviewed regularly to ensure that the capitalised expenditure is only carried forward to the 
extent that it is expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area of interest or when activities in the area of 
interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.  
This policy is outlined in note 1. 

Share-based payment transactions 

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted.  The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model 
taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.  The accounting estimates and assumptions 
relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the 
next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. 

Estimation of useful lives of assets 

The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, 
plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets.  The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations 
or some other event.  The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated 
lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. 

Employee benefits provision 

As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are 
recognised and measured at the present value of  the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the 
reporting date.  In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion 
and inflation have been taken into account. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 

The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at 
each  reporting  date  by  evaluating  conditions  specific  to  the  consolidated  entity  and  to  the  particular  asset  that  may  lead  to 
impairment.  If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.  This involves fair value less costs of 
disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.   

It is reasonably possible that the underlying gold price assumption may change which may then impact the estimated life of mine 
determinant and may then require a material adjustment to the carrying value of mining plant and equipment, mining infrastructure 
and mining development assets.  Furthermore, the expected future cash flows used to determine the value-in-use of these assets 
are inherently uncertain and could materially change over time.  They are significantly affected by a number of  factors including 
reserves and production estimates, together with economic factors such as metal spot prices, discount rates, estimates of costs to 
produce reserves and future capital expenditure.

Financial Risk Management 

The Group’s major area of risk is managing liquidity and cash balances and embarking on fundraising activities in anticipation of 
further projects.  The activities expose the Group to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk), 
credit risk and liquidity risk.  The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and 
seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.  The Group uses different methods to measure 
different types of risk to which it is exposed.  These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, and other risks, 
ageing analysis for credit risk. 

Risk management is carried out under policies set by the Managing Director and approved by the Board of Directors.   

The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as, interest rate risk, credit 
risk and investment of excess liquidity. 
a.  Market risk 

Foreign exchange risk 

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency 
that is not the Group’s functional currency.  The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from 
currency exposures to the Papua New Guinea Kina.  As the Group is still in the development, exploration and evaluation stages, it has 
not  needed  to  use  forward  contracts  to  manage  foreign  exchange  risk.    The  Board  will  continue  to  monitor  the  Group’s  foreign 
currency exposures. 

The Group’s exposure to interest-rate risk is summarised in the following table.  Fixed interest rate items mature within 12 months.   

Price risk 

The Group is exposed to both commodity price risk and revenue risk.  The commodity prices impact the Group’s capacity to raise 
additional funds and impact its sales of gold now that the Company is in production.  Management actively monitors commodity 
prices and does not believe that the current level in AUD terms warrant specific action. 
b.  Credit risk 

The credit risk on financial assets of the Group which have been recognised in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position is 
generally the carrying value amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts.  Management scrutinizes outstanding debtors on a 
regular basis and no items are considered past due or impaired. 
c. 

Liquidity risk 

Prudent liquidity management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the ability of the Group to raise 
funds on capital markets.  The Managing Director and the Board continue to monitor the Group’s financial position to ensure that it 
has available funds to meet its ongoing commitments (refer to Note 4).

The Convertible Notes are repayable on 22 August 2017.  All other financial liabilities are due and payable within 12 months.   

The Company has assessed the potential interest rate risk on floating interest rate assets and does not consider the risk to be material 
to the Company. 

1 Freefire Technology Limited 

The Company has secured short-term, interest bearing loans totalling $1,306,415 (2015: $1,259,740) from its major shareholder, 
Freefire Technology Limited (“Freefire”). 

•  The loan funds are to be used by the Company principally for the purpose of developing the High Grade Zone at the Company’s 
Crater Mountain, PNG project and for general working capital. 

• 

Interest on the Principal Sums is payable by the Company to Freefire at the rate of 8% (2015: 8%-15%) per annum. 

•  The loans are repayable by the Company to Freefire upon written demand by Freefire. 

2 Convertible notes 

On 22 August 2014 the consolidated entity issued 138,190 10% convertible notes, with a face value of $25 each, for total proceeds 
of $3,454,750.  Interest is paid on a semi-annual basis from 31 December 2014 onwards in arrears at a rate of 10% per annum based 
on the face value.  The notes are convertible into ordinary shares of the parent entity, on a quarterly basis at the option of the holder, 
or repayable on 22 August 2017.  The conversion rate is 100 ordinary shares for each note held. 

Total transactions costs were $283,989 at the date of issue and unamortised transaction costs of $120,389 (2015: $203,274) have 
been offset against the convertible notes payable liability.  The convertible notes are unsecured.

Fair value estimation 

The fair value of assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.  The 
fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current 
market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. 

The Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that considers and reflects the significance of the inputs used 
in making the measurements: 

Level 1   

Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

Level 2   
prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).   

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as 

Level 3   

Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (significant unobservable inputs). 

The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgment by the Group.  The Group considers observable 
data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and 
provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.   

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due 
to their short-term nature.

Sensitivity analysis 

Foreign currency risk sensitivity analysis 

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in the value of the Australian Dollar to the PNG Kina (PKG).  At 30 June 2016, the effect on profit 
and equity of the Consolidated Group as a result of changes in the value of the Australian Dollar to the PKG, with all other variables 
remaining constant, is as follows:

4  Going Concern 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Group has incurred a net loss after tax of $10,886,589 (2015: 
$2,517,249) for the year ended 30 June 2016 with operating cash outflows of $1,127,725 (2015: outflows of $754,152).  As at 30 June 
2016, the Group had net current liabilities of $4,122,175 (2015: $2,982,292) including cash on hand of $95,239 (2015:$501,025).  

The Group’s key area of expenditure is the Crater Mountain Project in Papua New Guinea. The Group was granted Mining Lease ML 
510 in November 2014 for the High Grade Zone project (“HGZ” project) at Crater Mountain. Whilst production is currently still low, 
the Group anticipates that there will be more significant production output in the near future generating positive cash flows. 

Whilst the above conditions indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group’s ability to continue as 
a going concern, in determining the appropriateness of the accounts being presented on a going concern basis the Directors note the 
following: 

a) On 24 July 2016 the Company announced that it would undertake a non-renounceable pro-rata rights issue of one share for 
every eight shares held at $0.07 (7 cents) per share to raise approximately $2,121,485 before costs.   

b) On 25 August 2016 the Company announced that it had secured a loan facility of up to A$800,000 from the Industrial and 
Commercial Bank of China (Asia) Limited.   

c) In addition, the Group has successfully raised funds through share issues and debt funding on a number of occasions and the 
Directors are confident that this could be achieved should the need arise. Management have received a letter of support from 
Freefire stating that they intend to support the Group by way of further loans to cover any cash shortfall in the next 12 months 
should the need for such funding arise to enable the Group to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. 

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other 
than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements.  The financial statements 
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of liabilities 
that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due. 

On this basis, the Directors are of the opinion that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis and the 
Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and payable.

Segment  information  is  presented  using  a  “management  approach”,  i.e.  segment  information  is  provided  on  the  same  basis  as 
information  used  for  internal  reporting  purposes  by  the  chief  executive  and  the  Board.    In  identifying  its  operating  segments, 
management generally follows the Group's project activities.  Each of these activities is managed separately.   

The Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) review EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The 
accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. 

The information reported to the CODM is on at least a monthly basis.

The  above  impairments  have  been  recognised  as  a  result  of  not  meeting  the  requirements  of  AASB  6,  whereby  substantive 
expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned.  
The following individual assets have been fully impaired in PNG: Crater Mountain EL2334/2335 ($2,812,250), EL2249 ($484,507) 
and EL2203 ($15,613); Fergusson Island EL1972 ($191,277) and EL2180 ($135,898). In Croydon, asset EPM9438 has  been fully 
impaired ($2,556,397). 

The  ultimate  recoupment  of  costs  carried  forward  for  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  is  dependent  on  the  successful 
development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas.

As a result of the granting of the mining lease, ML510 for Anomaly’s HGZ project at Crater Mountain in the Eastern Highlands 
Province, the decision was taking to reclassify the relevant exploration and evaluation expenditure as a mining asset in line with

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the 
number of shares and the amounts paid on those shares. 

On a show of hands, every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote and upon a 
poll, each share is entitled to one vote. 

The Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital and the fully paid ordinary shares have no par value. 

Capital risk management 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns 
for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital 
to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to 
the  current  company's  share  price  at  the  time  of  the  investment.  The  consolidated  entity  is  not  actively  pursuing  additional 
investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

b.  Employee Share Option Plan 

The establishment of the Crater Gold Mining Employee Share Option Plan (“the Plan”) was approved by shareholders on 22 June 
2007.  The Plan is designed to provide long term incentives for executives, staff and contractors to deliver long term shareholder 
returns.  Participation in the Plan is at the Board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the Plan or to 
receive any guaranteed benefits.  Options granted under the Plan carry no dividend or voting rights. 

Summary of options granted under the Employee Share Option Plan 

The following table illustrates the number and weighted average exercise prices (“WAEP”) of, and movements in, share options issued 
during the year:

The weighted average exercise price during the financial year was $0.25 (2015: $0.33).  The weighted average remaining contractual 
life of the options outstanding at the end of the financial year was 2.50 years (2015: 2.26 years). 

Option pricing model – Employee Share Option Plan 

The fair value of the equity-settled share options granted under the Employee Share Option Plan is estimated as at the date of grant 
using a Black-Scholes option pricing Model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.  The 
model takes into account the historic dividends and share price volatilities and each comparator company to produce a predicted 
distribution of relative share performance. 

Historical volatility of 43.95% was the basis for determining expected share price volatility and it is not expected that this volatility 
will change significantly over the life of the options.  The expected life of the options is taken to be the full period of time from grant 
date to expiry date as there is no expectation of early exercise of the options.  The options are options to subscribe for ordinary 
shares in the capital of the Company.  The options are issued for no consideration.  A risk free rate of 1.95% was used in the model.  
Shares issued on exercise of the option will rank pari passu with all existing shares of the Company from the date of issue.
