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 manages the Orpheus Project (Figure 1), comprising six tenements covering approximately 443km2 
in  the  Fraser  Range  province  of  Western  Australia.  In  the  Fraser  Range,  certain  Proterozoic  mafic/ultramafic 
intrusion  suites  are  prospective  to  host  nickel-copper  sulphide  mineralisation.  The  region  has  high  levels  of 
exploration activity for nickel following the Nova, Silver Knight and Mawson 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 (E63/1695). 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) 

Key activities during and subsequent to the end of the financial year include: 

•  Greenfields  drilling  programs have  been  focussed  within  the  Company’s Fraser  Range  tenement  E28/2403 
targeting magmatic nickel sulphides hosted in mafic intrusive intrusions that are concealed undercover.  Air-
Core (“AC”) drilling results to date have defined three prospective nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE (“Ni-Cu-Co-PGE”) 
geochemical  targets  that  warrant  further  evaluation  which  include  the  extensive  “Eyre  Anomaly”,  “Wylie 
Anomaly” and an emerging anomaly located over Geophysical Target 2. Optical mineralogy has confirmed the 
presence  of  magmatic  nickel  sulphides  hosted  in  olivine  bearing  host  rocks  beneath  the  Eyre  and  Wylie 
Anomalies. The link supports the prospectivity of anomalies as a pathfinder to nickel sulphides and the fertility 
of the basement intrusive in the area. 

•  Completion of a number of AC drilling programs in FY2022, totalling 60 drill holes for circa 6,365 metres over 

tenement E28/2403 and three diamonds holes for 948 metres.  

•  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.  

• 

The Company raising $2.8 million through the issue of 13,847,906 shares upon the exercise of options.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued) 

Aircore Drilling Programs  

To date, the Company has completed a number of reconnaissance AC drilling programs totalling 213 drill holes for 
circa 24,500 metres across E28/2403. The programs have led to the identification of three prospective Ni-Cu-Co-
PGE geochemical targets. 

Optical petrology from selected holes beneath the Eyre and Wylie Anomalies has identified the presence of trace 
levels of magmatic Ni-Cu sulphides hosted in fertile olivine bearing intrusive units. The link between nickel sulphides 
with associated pathfinder geochemistry underscore the nickel sulphide fertility of the intrusions and its prospectivity 
to potentially host an economically viable deposit in the tenement area. 

Eyre and Wylie Anomalies 

The Eyre Anomaly is interpreted to be over three kilometres in strike and up to 400 metres wide at the base of an 
interpreted intrusive suite. The Eyre South Prospect is located within the greater Eyre Anomaly at its southernmost 
point. The Eyre South Prospect has a drill density locally to 50 metre centres and anchored by drillhole KAC0091 
returning 21m @ 0.21% Ni, 0.08%Cu, 0.03% Co, 52 ppb Pt+Pd. Two diamond holes were completed to designed 
depths at the Eyre South Prospect during the financial year. Although the diamond holes had encountered a thick 
unit  of  olivine  peridotite  with  trace  levels  of  magmatic  nickel  and  copper  sulphides  over  several  intervals,  no 
significant assay results were returned. Down hole electromagnetic survey did not identify any conductors nearby. 
No further work is planned at the Eyre South Prospect at this stage.  

AC drilling undertaken in late FY2022 aimed to progress a number of geochemical and geophysical targets. At the 
Eyre Anomaly, AC drilling was undertaken to infill around drillhole KAC0147. Additional holes were drilled to the 
west of KAC0147 to evaluate areas with magnetic low signatures, which were not drill tested in the original regional 
wide spaced AC programs. 

At the Wylie Anomaly, the AC drilling program both infilled around drillhole KAC0192 (previously returned 16m @ 
0.11% Ni, 0.05% Cu, 0.01% Co and 7 ppb Pt+Pd and aimed to extend the open-ended anomaly to the southwest.  

Once assay results from the FY2022 AC program have been received, the results will help design the next phase 
of drilling to either infill the drill density down to fifty metres and/or further extend the anomalism footprint. 

Corporate 

During the financial year, the Company raised $2.8 million via the issue of 13,847,906 shares upon the exercise of 
options. 

Results of Operations 

The net loss of the Company for the year ended 30 June  2022 was $1,929,903 (2021: $1,681,070). 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 $18,318 (2021: $124,138) relating to incentive options. The fair value of the incentive 
options is recognised over the vesting period of the option. 

Financial Position 

As at 30 June 2022, the Company had a net current asset surplus of $3,612,082 (2021: $2,765,807). At 30 June 
2022, the Company had cash reserves of $3,671,576 (2021: $2,937,105) and borrowings of nil (2021: $nil).  At 30 
June 2022, the Company had net assets of $4,007,907 (2021: $3,121,137).

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 is 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 operations may be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic – The global economic outlook is 
facing  uncertainty  due  to  the  current  COVID-19  pandemic,  which  has  been  having,  and  will  likely continue  to  have,  a 
significant impact on global capital markets, commodity prices and foreign exchange. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic 
has not had any material impact on the Company’s operations, however, any infections occurring on site at the Company’s 
projects could result in the Company’s operations being suspended and otherwise disrupted for an unknown period of 
time, which may have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations as well as adverse implications on the Company’s 
future cash flows, profitability and financial condition. Supply chain disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic 
and measures implemented by governmental authorities around the world to limit the transmission of the virus (such as 
travel  bans  and  quarantining)  may,  in  addition  to  the  general  level  of  economic  uncertainty  caused  by  the  COVID-19 
pandemic, also adversely impact the Company’s operations, financial position and prospects. Governmental or industry 
measures taken in response to COVID-19 may materially adversely impact the Company's operations and are likely to be 
beyond the control of the Company. To date, the measures imposed by Government or industry, including the restrictions 
in place as at the date of this  report, have not had a material adverse impact on the Company's operations. However, 
future  measures  imposed  by  Government  or  industry  may  affect  the  Company's  ability  to  freely  move  people  and 
equipment to and from exploration projects, which may cause delays or cost increases;  

The  Company’s  exploration  activities  being  delayed  due  to  lack  of  available  equipment  and  services  -  The 
exploration activities of the Company requires the involvement of a number of third parties, including drilling contractors, 
assay laboratories, consultants, other contractors and suppliers. Demand for drilling equipment and exploration related 
services in Western Australia is currently very high and has resulted in higher exploration costs, delays in completing the 
Company’s exploration activities, and delays in the assessment and reporting of the results. Should there  continue to be 
high  demand  for  exploration  equipment  and  related  services,  there  may  be  further  delays  in  undertaking  exploration 
activities, which may  result in increased exploration costs and/or increased working capital requirements for the Company 
and may have a material impact on the Company’s operations and performance; 

The  Company’s  operations  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  
Non-Executive Director  
Non-Executive Director  

Company Secretary 

Unless otherwise disclosed, the KMP held their position from 1 July 2021 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 
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 2022 financial year,  no bonuses (2021: 
$90,000) 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 2022, no unlisted incentive options were issued to KMP (30 June 2021: 1,050,000), 
300,000 incentive options previously issued to KMP were exercised with 300,000 shares issued  (30 June 2021: 
300,000) and 400,000 incentive options previously issued to KMP expired (30 June 2021: nil).  

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. 

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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
(Continued) 

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 or paid to KMP in the current 
financial year (2021: $90,000). 

Where  required,  KMP  receive  superannuation  contributions,  currently  equal  to  10%  of  their  salary,  and  do  not 
receive any other retirement benefit. This amount will be increased to 10.5% beginning 1 July 2022.   

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 as  appropriate.  The value of  these incentive 
securities is expensed over the vesting period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The  significant  accounting  policies  adopted  in  preparing  the  financial  report  of  Constellation  Resources  Limited 
(“Constellation  Resources”  or  “Company”)  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2022  are  stated  to  assist  in  a  general 
understanding of the financial report. Constellation Resources is a Company limited by shares, incorporated and 
domiciled in Australia. The financial report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2022 was authorised for 
issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 5 August 2022. 

(a)  Basis of Preparation  

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting  Standards  (“AASBs”)  and  interpretations  adopted  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board 
(“AASB”)  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  The  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  the 
Company. For the purposes of preparing the financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. The financial 
report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. 

(b)  Statement of Compliance 

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards 
(“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.  

In the current financial year, the Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations 
issued by the AASB that are mandatory for the current annual reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting 
Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.  

(c)  Issued standards and interpretations not early adopted 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet 
effective have not been adopted by the Company for the reporting period ended 30 June 2022. Those which may 
be relevant to the Company are set out in the table below, but these are not expected to have any significant impact 
on the Company's financial statements:

(d)  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.  

(e)  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.   

(f)  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. 

(g)  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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 
(Continued)  

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(h)  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. 

(i)  Revenue Recognition 

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset. 

(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)  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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 
(Continued)  

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(l)  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(v). 

(m) 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. 

(n)  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. 

(o)  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. 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)  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 19.

(Continued)  

(q)  Impairment of Non-Financial 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.   

(r)  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 an appropriate 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. 

(s)  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. 

(t)  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”.

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(u)  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 

(v)  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(r). Key judgements include 
the option valuation and estimate of the number of options likely to vest. 

During a  previous  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 current or previous 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.

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;

(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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 
(Continued)  

17.  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.

17.  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  2022 
and 30 June 2021.   

(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:

2021 

$ 

3,671,576 

2,937,105 

3,671,576 

2,937,105 

The Company’s cash at bank and on hand had a weighted average floating interest rate at year end of 0.55% (2021: 
0.35%). 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.

17.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(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:

2,937,105

16,307 

3,689,672 

2,953,412 

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 2022, none (2021: 
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. 

18.  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:

The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement  2022, which explains how  Constellation Resources complies 
with  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council’s  ‘Corporate  Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations  –  4th 
Edition’  in  relation  to  the  year  ended  30  June  2022,  is  available  in  the  Corporate  Governance  section  of  the

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 
–  4th  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.
