PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the Company during the year consisted of the exploration for minerals, including the
Orpheus Project.
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Operations
Orpheus Project – Fraser Range
The Company is the majority owner and manages the Orpheus Project (Figure 1), comprising six tenements
covering approximately 558km2 in the Fraser Range province of Western Australia. In the Fraser Range, certain
Proterozoic mafic intrusion suites are prospective to host nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation. The region is
currently experiencing high levels of exploration activity for nickel following the Nova, Silver Knight, Mawson and
Lantern discoveries.
The Orpheus Project includes a 70% interest in three mineral exploration licences (E28/2403, E63/1281 and
E63/1282) and one mineral exploration licence application (ELA63/1695). The granted exploration licences form
part of a joint venture between the Company (70%) and Enterprise Metals Limited (“Enterprise”) (30%, ASX: ENT).
Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, the Company is responsible for sole funding all joint venture activities on
the tenements, which form part of the joint venture, up to completion of a bankable feasibility study.
Additionally, the Company has further 100% interests in two exploration licences, E28/2738 and E28/2957.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued)
AIRBORNE MAGNETIC AND GRAVITY SURVEYS
During the financial year, the Company completed both a detailed high-resolution airborne magnetic survey and a
semi-regional gravity survey over tenements E28/2403 and E28/2738 in the Fraser Range. The processing and
interpretation of the surveys led to the identification of ten high priority drill targets across the tenements.
Each target was identified as a potential mafic intrusion that is concealed under cover and exhibits a circular or
ellipsoidal morphology that appears to warp the older stratigraphy around it. In addition, there are correlating gravity
highs that could indicate more mafic-ultramafic (denser) compositions.
MAIDEN AIRCORE DRILLING PROGRAM
In 2020, the Company commenced its maiden reconnaissance air-core drill program comprising 121 holes totalling
15,102m was undertaken on five of ten high priority geophysical targets (Figure 3) that were identified across the
Company’s northern tenements. The program was designed on a broad 500m x 400m grid pattern with selected
traverses, reduced to 200m centres and was successful in reaching the targeted Proterozoic basement and ended
in fresh rock.
Assay results returned from the drilling announced in July 2020 (Table 1) have highlighted five discrete Ni-Cu-Co
geochemical footprints within geophysical Targets 1, 2 and 4 across a cumulative area of over 1.4km2 (Figure 2).
The return of a number of Ni-Cu-Co anomalous drill holes with encouraging bottom of hole (“BOH”) petrology
including olivine gabbros and pyroxenites, indicates the targeted mafic/ultramafic intrusions have the potential to
host Ni-Cu-Co sulphides and warrant further exploration. The Company has since approved high priority follow up
electromagnetic surveys over the Targets.

CURRENT AND PLANNED WORK PROGRAMS
Moving Loop Electromagnetic Survey (“MLTEM”)
In response to the encouraging results received, Russell Mortimer from Southern Geoscience Consultants who has
guided and coordinated the Company’s geophysical targeting to date, has designed a Low Frequency (~0.125Hz)
MLTEM survey over all of the target geochemical footprints (Targets 1, 2 and 4) previously identified. The aim of
the MLTEM survey is to search for basement conductors that may be linked to the geochemical footprints
(dispersions). See Figure 2 for the planned EM survey boundary. If basement conductors are identified, deeper
drilling (reverse circulation and/or diamond) may then be warranted to determine whether the conductor source is
due to the presence of massive nickel sulphides.
Passive Seismic Survey
The Company completed a passive seismic survey totalling 80km across its northern tenements. See figure 5 below
for survey lines. In conjunction with the existing drill data from its recently completed maiden air-core drill program,
the information obtained from the survey will allow a top of basement/fresh rock boundary surface to be estimated
over the project area. The benefits of the survey include the ability to recalibrate the previously completed
geophysical surveys (semi-regional gravity and aeromagnetic) to determine whether stripping of the cover changes
target ranking and to ensure that targets 6-10 (Figure 3) are within the depth capability of an air-core drill rig.

EXPLORATION INCENTIVE SCHEME GRANT
The Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety of Western Australia has awarded Constellation an
Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) grant under its Co-Funded Government Industry Drilling Program. The
Company intends to utilise the EIS grant for a proposed drilling program over targets 6-10 (Figure 3) located at the
southern portion of its tenements whereby 50% of the direct drilling costs will be co-funded. The reconnaissance
air-core drilling is planned subject to requisite clearances and is aimed at identifying concealed mafic-ultramafic
complexes and potential pathfinder geochemical anomalism in the regolith.

Corporate
On 20 July 2020, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Peter Muccilli as a Technical Director of the
Company. Additionally, the Company issued 1,300,000 incentive options to key employees and consultants as
follows:
433,333 Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.40 each on or before 30 June 2023;
433,333 Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.50 each on or before 30 June 2023; and
433,334 Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.60 each on or before 30 June 2023.
Business Development
Several opportunities have been reviewed during the financial year, and the Company will continue in its efforts to
identify and acquire suitable new business opportunities in the resources sector, both domestically and overseas.
However, no agreements have been reached or licences granted and the Directors are not able to assess the
likelihood or timing of a successful acquisition or grant of any opportunities.
Results of Operations
The net loss of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $1,446,827 (2019: $1,033,996). This loss is
predominately comprised of exploration and evaluation expenditure and is attributable to the Company’s accounting
policy of expensing exploration and evaluation expenditure (other than expenditures incurred in the acquisition of
the rights to explore) incurred by the Company. In the current financial year, the net loss also includes share based
payments expenses totalling $17,068 (2019: $50,667) relating to incentive options. The fair value of the incentive
options is recognised over the vesting period of the option.

Business Strategies and Prospects for Future Financial Years
The objective of the Company is to create long-term shareholder value through the discovery, development and
acquisition of technically and economically viable mineral deposits.
To date, the Company has not commenced production of any minerals, nor has it identified a Mineral Resource in
accordance with the JORC Code. To achieve its objective, the Company currently intends over the medium term to
conduct further exploration activities including field work to follow up targets identified at the Orpheus Project.
These activities are inherently risky and the Board is unable to provide certainty of the expected results of these
activities, or that any or all of these likely developments will be achieved. The material business risks faced by the
Company that could have an effect on the Company’s future prospects, and how the Company manages these
risks include:
The Company’s exploration programmes may not identify an economic deposit - The Orpheus Project
Tenements are at an early stage of exploration and current/potential investors should understand that
mineral exploration, development and mining are high-risk enterprises, only occasionally providing high
rewards. The success of the Company depends, among other things, on successful exploration and/or
acquisition of reserves, securing and maintaining title to tenements and consents, successful design,
construction, commissioning and operating of mining and processing facilities, successful development and
production in accordance with forecasts and successful management of the operations. Exploration and
mining activities may also be hampered by force majeure circumstances, land claims and unforeseen mining
problems. There is no assurance that exploration and development of the mineral interests owned by the
Company, or any other projects that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of mineral
deposits which are capable of being exploited economically. Even if an apparently viable deposit is
identified, there is no guarantee that it can be profitably exploited. If such commercial viability is never
attained, the Company may seek to transfer its property interests or otherwise realise value, or the Company
may even be required to abandon its business and fail as a “going concern”;
The Company’s activities will require further capital – the exploration and any development of the
Company’s exploration properties will require substantial additional financing. Failure to obtain sufficient
financing may result in delaying, or the indefinite postponement of, exploration and any development of the
Company’s properties or even a loss of property interest. There can be no assurance that additional capital
or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be
favourable to the Company;
The Company may be adversely affected by fluctuations in commodity prices – the price of
commodities fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company.
Future production, if any, from the Company’s mineral properties will be dependent upon the price of
commodities being adequate to make these properties economic. The Company currently does not engage
in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage commodity price risk. As the Company’s operations
change, this policy will be reviewed periodically going forward; and
Global financial conditions may adversely affect the Company’s growth and profitability – many
industries, including the mineral resource industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Some of the
key impacts include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations and high
volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange and precious metal markets, and a lack of market
liquidity. Due to the current nature of the Company’s activities, a slowdown in the financial markets or other
economic conditions may adversely affect the Company’s growth and ability to finance its activities.

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED
This Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors' Report, sets out information about the remuneration
of Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) of the Company.
Details of Key Management Personnel
The KMP of the Company during or since the end of the financial year were as follows:
Directors
Mr Ian Middlemas
Mr Peter Woodman
Mr Peter Muccilli
Mr Robert Behets
Mr Mark Pearce
Other KMP
Mr Lachlan Lynch
Chairman
Managing Director
Technical Director (appointed 22 July 2020)
Non-Executive Director
Non-Executive Director
Company Secretary
Unless otherwise disclosed, the KMP held their position from 1 July 2019 until the date of this report.
Remuneration Policy
The Company’s remuneration policy for its KMP has been developed by the Board taking into account the size of
the Company, the size of the management team for the Company, the nature and stage of development of the
Company’s current operations, and market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size
and operating in similar sectors. In addition to considering the above general factors, the Board has also placed
emphasis on the following specific issues in determining the remuneration policy for KMP:
(a)
the Company is currently focussed on undertaking exploration, appraisal and development activities;
(b)
risks associated with small cap resource companies whilst exploring and developing projects; and
(c) other than profit which may be generated from asset sales, the Company does not expect to be undertaking
profitable operations until sometime after the commencement of commercial production of the project.
Remuneration Policy for Executives
The Company’s remuneration policy is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a performance based
component (short term incentive and long term incentive). The Board believes that this remuneration policy is
appropriate given the considerations discussed in the section above and is appropriate in aligning executives’
objectives with shareholder and business objectives.
Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base salary, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds and other
non-cash benefits.
Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of Company and individual
performance, relevant comparative remuneration externally and internally and, where appropriate, external advice
on policies and practices.
Performance Based Remuneration – Short Term Incentive
Some executives are entitled to an annual cash incentive payment upon achieving various key performance
indicators (“KPI’s”), as set by the Board. Having regard to the current size, nature and opportunities of the Company,
the Board has determined that these KPI’s will include measures such as successful commencement and/or
completion of exploration activities (e.g. commencement/completion of exploration programs within budgeted
timeframes and costs), establishment of government relationships (e.g. establish and maintain sound working
relationships with government and officialdom), development activities (e.g. completion of infrastructure studies and
Constellation Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2020 11
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
(Continued)
commercial agreements), corporate activities (e.g. recruitment of key personnel and representation of the company
at international conferences) and business development activities (e.g. corporate transactions and capital raisings).
These measures were chosen as the Board believes they represent the key drivers in the short and medium term
success of the Project’s development. On an annual basis, subsequent to year end, the Board assesses
performance against each individual executive’s KPI criteria. During the 2020 financial year, no bonuses (2019:
$30,000 – represented 50% of the Managing Director’s total discretionary bonus) were approved, paid, or are
payable.
Performance Based Remuneration – Long Term Incentive
The Board has or may issue incentive securities to some executives (if applicable) as a key component of the
incentive portion of their remuneration, in order to attract and retain the services of any executives and to provide
an incentive linked to the performance of the Company. The Board considers that for each executive who has or
may receive securities in the future, their experience in the resources industry will greatly assist the Company in
progressing its projects to the next stage of development and the identification of new projects. As such, the Board
believes that the number of incentive securities to be granted to any executives will be commensurate to their value
to the Company.
The Board has a policy of granting incentive securities to executives (if applicable) with exercise prices at and/or
above market share price (at the time of agreement). As such, incentive securities granted to executives will
generally only be of benefit if the executives perform to the level whereby the value of the Company increases
sufficiently to warrant exercising the incentive securities granted.
Other than service-based vesting conditions, there are not expected to be additional performance criteria if incentive
securities are granted to executives, as given the speculative nature of the Company’s activities and the small
management team responsible for its running, it is considered the performance of the executives and the
performance and value of the Company are closely related. If other forms of incentive securities are issued, then
performance milestones may be applied. The Company’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits KMP from entering
into arrangements to limit their exposure to Incentive Securities granted as part of their remuneration package.
During the year ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019, the Company did not issue incentive options to key
management personnel.
Remuneration Policy for Non-Executive Directors
The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at or below market rates for comparable companies for
time, commitment and responsibilities. Given the current size, nature and risks of the Company, incentive securities
may be used to attract and retain Non-Executive Directors. The Board determines payments to the Non-Executive
Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability.
Independent external advice is sought when required.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by
shareholders at a General Meeting. Total Directors' fees paid to all Non-Executive Directors are not to exceed
$250,000 per annum. Director's fees paid to Non-Executive Directors accrue on a daily basis. Fees for Non-
Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the entity. However, to align Directors' interests with
shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and Non-Executive Directors
may in limited circumstances receive incentive securities in order to secure their services.
Fees for the Chairman are presently $36,000 and fees for other Non-Executive Directors are $20,000 per annum
plus superannuation. These fees cover main board activities only. Non-Executive Directors may receive additional
remuneration for other services provided to the Company.
Relationship between Remuneration of KMP and Shareholder Wealth
During the Company’s project identification, acquisition, exploration and development phases of its business, the
Board anticipates that the Company will retain earnings (if any) and other cash resources for the exploration and
development of its resource projects. Accordingly the Company does not currently have a policy with respect to
the payment of dividends and returns of capital. Therefore there is no relationship between the Board’s policy for
determining the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP and dividends paid and returns of capital by the
Company during the current and previous financial years.
Constellation Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2020 12
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
(Continued)
REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (CONTINUED)
The Board did not determine the nature and amount of remuneration of the KMP by reference to changes in the
price at which shares in the Company traded between the beginning and end of the current financial year.
Discretionary annual cash bonuses, when applicable, will be based on achieving various non-financial key
performance indicators to be determined by the Board. However, as noted above, KMP’s may receive Incentive
Securities which generally will only be of value should the value of the Company’s shares increase sufficiently to
warrant exercising the Incentive Securities.
Relationship between Remuneration of KMP and Earnings
As discussed above, the Company is currently undertaking new project acquisition, exploration and development
activities, and does not expect to be undertaking profitable operations (other than by way of material asset sales,
none of which are currently planned) until sometime after the successful commercialisation, production and sales
of commodities from one or more of its projects. Accordingly the Board does not consider earnings during the
current and previous financial years when determining the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP.
In addition to a focus on operating activities, the Board is also focussed on finding and completing new business
and other corporate opportunities. The Board considers that the prospects of the Company and resulting impact on
shareholder wealth will be enhanced by this approach. Accordingly, a bonus may be paid upon the successful
completion of a new business or corporate transaction. No bonuses were declared in the current financial year
(2019: $30,000).
Where required, KMP receive superannuation contributions, currently equal to 9.5% of their salary, and do not
receive any other retirement benefit.
All remuneration provided to KMP is valued at cost to the company and expensed. Incentive securities are valued
using the Black Scholes option or Binomial valuation methodology. The value of these incentive securities is
expensed over the vesting period.

(c) Changes in Accounting Policies
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 Leases has replaced the previous accounting requirements for leases under AASB 117 Leases. Under
the previous requirements, leases were classified based on their nature as either finance leases which were
recognised on the Statement of Financial Position, or operating leases, which were not recognised on the Statement
of Financial Position.
Under AASB 16 Leases, the Company’s accounting for operating leases as a lessee will result in the recognition of
a right-of-use (ROU) asset and an associated lease liability on the Statement of Financial Position. The lease liability
represents the present value of future lease payments, with the exception of short-term and low value leases. An
interest expense will be recognised on the lease liabilities and a depreciation charge will be recognised for the ROU
assets. There will also be additional disclosure requirements under the new standard.
The Company’s adoption of AASB 16 has resulted in no impact to the financial statements of the Company due to
the fact that the Company has not entered into any transactions or arrangements that would be accounted for as a
lease under the new standard.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of 3 months or less.
(f) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an expected credit loss provision. An
estimate for the expected credit loss is made based on the historical risk of default and expected loss rates at the
inception of the transaction. Inputs are selected for the expected credit loss impairment calculation based on the
Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates.
(g) Payables
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received. Trade accounts
payable are normally settled within 30 days.
(h) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for
which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
(i) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to members of the Company for
the reporting period, after excluding any costs of servicing equity, by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares of the Company.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings, adjusted by the after tax effect of financing costs
associated with dilutive potential Ordinary Shares and the effect on revenues and expenses of conversion to
Ordinary Shares associated with dilutive potential Ordinary Shares, by the weighted average number of Ordinary
Shares and dilutive Ordinary Shares.

(j) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Expenditure on exploration and evaluation is accounted for in accordance with the 'area of interest' method and
with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, which is the Australian equivalent of IFRS 6.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure encompasses expenditures incurred by the Company in connection with
the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of
extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable.
For each area of interest, expenditure incurred in the acquisition of rights to explore is capitalised, classified as
tangible or intangible, and recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset. Exploration and evaluation assets
are measured at cost at recognition and are recorded as an asset if:
(i)
the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
(ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development
and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and
exploration and evaluation 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 expenditure incurred by the Company subsequent to the acquisition of the rights to
explore is expensed as incurred, up until the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project has been
demonstrated with a bankable feasibility study.
Capitalised exploration costs are reviewed at each reporting date to establish whether an indication of impairment
exists. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the capitalised exploration costs is estimated to
determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying
amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the
increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no
impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.
Where a decision is made to proceed with development, accumulated expenditure is tested for impairment and
transferred to development properties, and then amortised over the life of the reserves associated with the area of
interest once mining operations have commenced. Recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and
evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the
respective areas of interest.
(k) Revenue Recognition
Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
(l) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial
position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis,
except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(m) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the
discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the year but not distributed at reporting date.
(n) Interests in Joint Operations
The Company's share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint venture operations are included in the
appropriate items of the financial statements. Details of the Company's interests in joint operations are shown at
Note 16.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
(Continued)
(o) Government Grants
Governmment grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the
conditions attaching to the grant and that the grant will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or
loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which
grants are intended to compensate. If the grant relates to expenses or losses already incurred by the entity, or to
provide immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs, the income is recognised in the period
in which it becomes receivable.
(p) Use and Revision of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if
the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both
current and future periods.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying
accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are
described Note 1(w).
(q) Income Tax
The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the
notional income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable
to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial
statements, and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when
the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively
enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable
temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary
differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised
in relation to these temporary differences if they arose on goodwill or in a transaction, other than a business
combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
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. The carrying amount
of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be
utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly
in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off
current tax assets against tax liabilities and the deferred tax liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.
(r) Issued Capital
Ordinary Shares are classified as equity. Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the
consideration received by the Company. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options
are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(s) Operating Segments
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of
the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to
make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete
financial information is available. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors,
taken as a whole. This includes start up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider
other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment
information presented to the board of directors.
Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the Board of Directors. The
Company aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics. Operating
segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an
operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about
the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements. Information about other business activities and
operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for
“all other segments”.
(t) Impairment of Assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any
such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate
of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell
and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that
are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be
estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating
unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In
assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
(u) Share-Based Payments
Equity-settled share-based payments are provided to officers, employees, consultants and other advisors. These
share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is
determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed
on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will
eventually vest. At each reporting date, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments
expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss over the
remaining vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to the share based payments reserve. Equity-settled
share-based payments may also be provided as consideration for the acquisition of assets. Where ordinary shares
are issued, the transaction is recorded at fair value based on the quoted price of the ordinary shares at the date of
issue. The acquisition is then recorded as an asset or expensed in accordance with accounting standards.
(v) Plant and Equipment
(i)
Cost and valuation
All classes of plant and equipment are measured at cost. Where assets have been revalued, the potential effect of
the capital gains tax on disposal has not been taken into account in the determination of the revalued carrying
amount. Where it is expected that a liability for capital gains tax will arise, this expected amount is disclosed by
way of note.
(ii)
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all property, plant and equipment. Computer equipment is
depreciated over a three year useful life.

(w) Significant judgements and key assumptions
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events
and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.
(i)
Key judgements
The Company capitalises expenditure incurred in the acquisition of rights to explore and records this as an asset
where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a
reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves (Note 1(j)). There are areas of interest from which no reserves
have been extracted, but the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off
since the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.
The Company recognises share based payments in accordance with the policy at Note 1(u).
During the financial year, a new virus (“COVID-19”) emerged and infections started to occur around the globe.
Subsequently, on 11 March, 2020, the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) declared it a pandemic and national
governments have implemented a range of policies and actions to combat it. The outbreak of COVID-19 has
resulted in quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty which
caused market volatility. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period,
the Company’s results may be materially adversely affected. Management will continue to monitor developments,
their impact on the Company including its operations and the values and estimates reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. There was no material financial impact on the Company as a result of COVID-
19 during the financial year.

(c) Rights Attaching to Ordinary Shares
The rights attaching to fully paid ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) arise from a combination of the Company's
Constitution, statute and general law. The clauses of the Constitution contain the internal rules of the Company and
define matters such as the rights, duties and powers of its shareholders and directors, including provisions to the
following effect (when read in conjunction with the Corporations Act 2001 or Listing Rules).
Shares
(i)
The issue of shares in the capital of the Company and options over unissued shares by the Company is under the
control of the directors, subject to the Corporations Act 2001 and any rights attached to any special class of shares.
Meetings of Members
(ii)
Directors may call a meeting of members whenever they think fit. Members may call a meeting as provided by the
Corporations Act 2001. The Constitution contains provisions prescribing the content requirements of notices of
meetings of members and all members are entitled to a notice of meeting. A meeting may be held in two or more
places linked together by audio-visual communication devices. A quorum for a meeting of members is
2 shareholders.
Voting
(iii)
Subject to any rights or restrictions at the time being attached to any shares or class of shares of the Company,
each member of the Company is entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at a general meeting. Resolutions of
members will be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is demanded. On a show of hands each eligible voter
present has one vote. However, where a person present at a general meeting represents personally or by proxy,
attorney or representative more than one member, on a show of hands the person is entitled to one vote only
despite the number of members the person represents. On a poll each eligible member has one vote for each fully
paid share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share determined by the amount paid up on that share.
Changes to the Constitution
(iv)
The Company's Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of the
members present and voting at a general meeting of the Company. At least 28 days' written notice specifying the
intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

Terms and Conditions of Unlisted Incentive Options
The Unlisted Options are granted based upon the following terms and conditions:
Each Unlisted Option entitles the holder to the right to subscribe for one Ordinary Share upon the exercise of
each Unlisted Option;
The Unlisted Options outstanding at the end of the financial year have the following exercise prices and expiry
dates:
300,000 Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.25 each on or before 9 April 2021 (vested immediately);
300,000 Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.30 each on or before 9 October 2021 (vested 9 October
2019); and
400,000 Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.40 each on or before 9 April 2022 (vested 9 April 2020).
The Unlisted Options are exercisable at any time prior to the Expiry Date, subject to vesting conditions being
satisfied (if applicable);
Ordinary Shares issued on exercise of the Unlisted Options rank equally with the then Ordinary Shares of the
Company;
Application will be made by the Company to ASX for official quotation of the Ordinary Shares issued upon the
exercise of the Unlisted Options;
If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Unlisted Option
holders may be varied to comply with the ASX Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of
the reconstruction; and
No application for quotation of the Unlisted Incentive Options will be made by the Company.

(d) Other Equity Reserve
On 30 April 2018, the Company entered into a Debt for Equity Subscription Agreement with its parent entity Apollo
Minerals. Under the terms of the agreement, Apollo Minerals agreed to forgive all loan advances made to the
Company in relation to exploration activities at the Orpheus Project. The balance of the loan as at the date of
forgiveness was $1,200,148. As the transaction was between a parent entity and subsidiary, the forgiven amount
has been recognised directly in equity.

18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Overview
The Company's principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables
and trade and other payables. The main risks arising from the Company's financial instruments are liquidity risk,
interest rate risk and credit risk.
This note presents information about the Company's exposure to the above risks, its objectives, policies and
processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Other than as disclosed, there have
been no significant changes since the previous financial year to the exposure or management of these risks.
The Company manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Company's financial risk
management policy. Key risks are monitored and reviewed as circumstances change (e.g. acquisition of a new
project) and policies are revised as required. The overall objective of the Company's financial risk management
policy is to support the delivery of the Company's financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.
Given the nature and size of the business and uncertainty as to the timing and amount of cash inflows and outflows,
the Company does not enter into derivative transactions to mitigate the financial risks. In addition, the Company's
policy is that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken for the purposes of making speculative gains.
As the Company's operations change, the Directors will review this policy periodically going forward.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management
framework. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing the Company's financial risks as summarised
below.
(a) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Board's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Company will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
The contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments, are provided below. There
are no netting arrangements in respect of financial liabilities.

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk. These commodity prices can be volatile and are influenced by
factors beyond the Company's control. As the Company is currently engaged in exploration and business
development activities, no sales of commodities are forecast for the next 12 months, and accordingly, no hedging
or derivative transactions have been used to manage commodity price risk.

(Continued)
18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c) Capital Management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while financing the
development of its projects through primarily equity based financing. The Board's policy is to maintain a strong
capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the
business. Given the stage of the Company, the Board's objective is to minimise debt and to raise funds as required
through the issue of new shares.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year. During the next 12
months, the Company will continue to explore financing opportunities, primarily consisting of additional issues of
equity should it be required.
(d) Fair Value
The net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying value as at 30 June 2020
and 30 June 2019.
(e)
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the cash and short-term
deposits with a floating interest rate.
These financial assets with variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial
assets and liabilities, in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing.
At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing financial instruments was:
Interest-bearing financial instruments

$
2019
$
4,313,710
4,313,710
5,589,116
5,589,116
The Company’s cash at bank and on hand had a weighted average floating interest rate at year end of 0.84% (2019:
2.22%). The Company currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate
risk.
Interest rate sensitivity
A sensitivity of 20 basis points has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both
short term and long term interest rates. A 20 basis point movement in interest rates at the reporting date would
have increased (decreased) equity and profit and loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that
all other variables, remain constant.

(f) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations. This arises principally from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other
receivables.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company. The carrying amount of the Company's
financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure, as represented below:
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Other receivables

5,589,116
76,407
44,519
4,390,117
5,633,635
The Company does not have any customers and accordingly does not have any significant exposure to credit
losses. Other receivables comprise primarily GST refunds and interest receivable. At 30 June 2020, none (2019:
none) of the Company's receivables are past due. No impairment losses on receivables have been recognised.
With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, the Company's exposure to credit risk arises
from historical default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these
instruments.
19. COMMITMENTS
As a condition of retaining the current rights to tenure to exploration tenements, the Company is required to pay an
annual rental charge and meet minimum expenditure requirements for each tenement. These obligations are not
provided for in the financial statements and are at the sole discretion of the Company:
Commitments for exploration expenditure:

nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report

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 Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related

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.

The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement 2020, which explains how Constellation Resources complies
with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s ‘Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 3rd
Edition’ in relation to the year ended 30 June 2020, is available in the Corporate Governance section of the
Company’s website, www.constellationresources.com.au and will be lodged with ASX together with an Appendix
4G at the same time that this Annual Report is lodged with ASX.
In addition to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s ‘Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations
– 3rd Edition’ the Board has taken into account a number of important factors in determining its corporate
governance policies and procedures, including the:
relatively simple operations of the Company, which currently only undertakes mineral exploration and
development activities;
cost verses benefit of additional corporate governance requirements or processes;
size of the Board;
Board’s experience in the resources sector;
organisational reporting structure and number of reporting functions, operational divisions and employees;
relatively simple financial affairs with limited complexity and quantum;
relatively small market capitalisation and economic value of the entity; and
direct shareholder feedback.
