COMPANY 
PROFILE

Caravel Minerals Limited (ASX:CVV, “Caravel” 
or “Company”) is a copper exploration and 
development company focused on a newly 
discovered porphyry copper district in Western 
Australia’s Central Wheatbelt.  Located on freehold 
land approximately 120 kms north-north east 
of Perth, the Caravel Copper Project is situated 
between the Wheatbelt towns of Calingiri and 
Wongan Hills and is well connected to established 
infrastructure (Figure 1).  The Caravel Copper 
Project is held under 11 exploration licences 
comprising around 200 square km.

This year, the Company started its most significant 
work program since the 2016 release of the Scoping 
Study.  This work aims to improve understanding 
of the resource, mining and processing options and 
advance the key project requirements, moving the 
project into a Pre-Feasibility phase.

The Company has a new Board and Management 
with strong project development experience leading 
the project development and feasibility studies. 
Advancing the feasibility studies will demonstrate 
the potential value of the Caravel Copper Project as 
a long-life, low-cost operation which can generate 
substantial value to all stakeholders including 
shareholders and local communities.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

I am very pleased to share with you the substantial advancement of your 
company this year, my first as Chairman of Caravel Minerals.

Your Company has undergone significant changes in the past year and now 
has a new Board and management team following major changes to the 
Board in May.  The new management team comprises experienced project 
developers who have a clear goal of developing the Caravel Copper Project.   
Work is underway on new feasibility studies and permitting to advance the 
project to the Pre-Feasibility Stage.   

A new work program initiated this year has been core drilling at our Bindi and 
Dasher deposits. This has delivered very positive results confirming higher-
grade zones of copper within the current resource.  These results will allow 
new geological and resource modelling which will in turn be used to develop 
new mining scenarios, with potential for significant improvements to current 
economics.  At the time of writing this report, the drilling program is still 
ongoing and will continue for the remainder of the year.

In addition to the technical studies program the Company has commenced 
engagement with the wide range of other stakeholders that would be 
involved in project development, ranging from local landholders and shire 
administrations through to the various government agencies and regulators.  
The Company places great importance on relationships with these parties 
and has been very pleased to have received positive engagement in all 
interactions to date.

To support the new work programs and higher levels of activity the Company 
recently undertook an equity raising to fund both the drilling program and 
new feasibility studies.  This fund raising was well supported by existing 
shareholders and a number of new shareholders, most of whom have some 
direct connection to the project as contractors or stakeholders.  The growing 
network of shareholders who are engaged with this project is a very good 
outcome and bodes well for the long term success of the project and the 
Company.

I would like to thank all of our stakeholders who are working toward making 
the Caravel Copper Project a success, including our staff, contractors, 
suppliers, advisors and the local community members and farmers of 
Wongan Hills, Calingiri and Goomalling.

Wayne R. Trumble 
Chairman

CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018REPORT ON ACTIVITIES

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW 

•  Land tenure, social and environmental planning 

and processes

•  Regulatory approvals scheduling

•  Progression of partnership/financing options.

2018 RESOURCE/PROJECT 
DEVELOPMENT DRILLING

Towards the latter stages of the reporting period, the 
Company commenced a new phase of drilling with 
the primary aim of targeting higher grade domains 
(over 0.5% Cu) within the resource where previous 
modelling was based on a single lower grade domain. 
This program was initiated by the Company’s new 
management and was designed to interrogate the 
existing drill spacing of around 200m between 
sections in order to create a discrete model for these 
higher-grade zones.  Approximately 1,000m of HQ 
diamond core drilling was completed including new 
core holes at Bindi East, Bindi West and Dasher (see 
Figure 2).  

During the 2018 financial year, Caravel raised a total 
of $2.57m (after costs) by the issue of 52.2m shares 
increasing the number of shares on issue from 68.4m 
to 120.6m.

The net loss for the year was $2.48m and at 30 June 
2018, the Company had net current assets of $0.35m. 

Subsequent to year end, Caravel raised $1.51m (after 
costs) by the issue of 32.5m shares in a pro rata 
rights issue to fund the ongoing work program.

PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY WORK 
– CARAVEL COPPER PROJECT

The 2016 Scoping Study proposed the following 
project parameters for the Caravel Copper Project 
(previously referred to as the ‘Calingiri Project’):  

•  A potential 20+ year project life  

•  Open-cut mining with low strip ratio

•  Processing plant, water storage, maintenance 

workshops, concentrate storage, tailings storage 
and accommodation village/s

•  Waste rock stockpiles

•  Mine dewatering

•  Borefield to supply processing plant

•  Upgrade to power supply infrastructure 

•  Transport and export of approx. 150Mt of copper 

concentrate from an existing WA port

Towards the end of the reporting period, Caravel 
formed a small study team to progress the Project’s 
Pre-Feasibility work.  The team is focussed on the 
following activities:

•  Drilling at the Caravel Copper Project to 

confirm high-grade zones and associated mine 
development options and scenarios

•  Updating the geological model and resource 

estimate

•  Geotechnical studies 

•  Metallurgical test work to develop flow sheet and 
produce concentrate specifications for marketing

•  Infrastructure studies including project input 

requirements, transport and preliminary 
engineering and design

caravelminerals.com.auFigure 3: Cross Section through Bindi West (6,573,300mN) showing new domain interpretations and visual estimates of percentage chalcopyrite. 

Drilling completed at Bindi West confirmed that 
the resource can be modelled as discrete domains 
comprising higher-grade ores around 0.5% Cu or 
higher, lower-grade ores below 0.5% Cu and some 
narrow zones of unmineralized material (Figure 3). 
The mineralisation was found to predominantly occur 
as sulphide veins or layers, typically 10-100mm thick 
and aligned within a well-developed foliation fabric. 
Variations in grade between the domains are due 
to the width and spacing of these veins, which are 
mostly comprised of chalcopyrite (~80%) with lesser 
pyrite.  The orientation of the veins and associated 
foliation fabric aligned with the interpreted continuity 
of grade domains between holes, provide support for 
the structural model of grade continuity.

Core from Caravel’s drilling program will be used 
in metallurgical and comminution test work, as 
well as geotechnical studies which are important 
components of the Pre-feasibility Study for the 
Caravel Copper Project.

CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018EXPLORATION

GEOLOGICAL SETTING 

The Caravel Copper Project comprises a series of deposits 
of copper with associated gold and molybdenum.  The 
mineralization is interpreted to be of a style know as 
‘porphyry copper’, examples of which include most of the 
world’s largest copper deposits, mainly along the western 
volcanic margin of South and North America.  

This style of deposit is associated with the geological 
processes that occur when tectonic plates are converging, 
leading to mountain chains and volcanoes like the Andean 
Mountains in South America. 

The Caravel deposits are much older than most porphyry 
coppers and have been dated at around 3 billion years old.  
At that time the Wheatbelt region was a major mountain 
chain formed by the Southwest Terrane colliding with 
the rest of the Yilgarn Terrane.  The boundary of the two 
terranes can be seen in Figure 4 below.  

Figure 4: Gravity geophysical image showing the location of the Caravel 
Copper Project in relation to the Yilgarn and Southwest Terranes.

PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

The Caravel Copper Project deposits were found by 
Dominion Mining in 2010 as part of a major exploration 
program where Dominion conducted open range sampling 
throughout the southwest part of Western Australia, mostly 
collecting samples from road verges. Low-level copper 
anomalies identified from the regional sampling were 
followed up with drilling, eventually leading to the discovery 
of the main copper mineralization.  

As well as the main deposits already discovered Caravel 
Minerals has numerous other prospects and mineralized 
areas within the same district scale mineralized corridor.   
Exploration has been focused within this corridor using 
surface, auger and aircore sampling.  Outlines of the main 
anomalies have been used to target follow-up geophysical 
survey, mainly IP, and subsequent RC drilling.   

Many of the target areas have shown mineralization in 
basement rocks and require further drilling to evaluate 
(Figure 5).  

Most of these prospects have only a few holes testing 
the anomalies.  The grades, mineralogy and structure 
of mineralisation at many of these prospects are similar 
to that at the main deposits and it seems likely all these 
mineralized areas are part of a common large system.  

Exploration throughout the mineralised corridor will 
continue and is expected to add further resources to the 
project.

caravelminerals.com.au2018 EXPLORATION

In July 2018 the Company announced results from a 
1,281m Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drilling program where 
a potentially large new mineralised system at Dasher East 
was discovered together with extensions of mineralisation at 
Opie (See ASX announcement of 2 July 2018). 

Drilling at Opie was completed on three sections 200m 
apart, 600m along strike to the west of Opie and identified 
a western extension to previously defined resources at Opie. 
The new holes at Opie indicate two parallel mineralised 
horizons and supports interpretation of a continuous 
mineralised system extending 3,500m through to the Kurrali 
Prospect (Figure 6).

Drilling at Dasher East was targeting an IP and bedrock 
geochemical anomaly. The new zone of mineralisation was 
intersected with wide spaced drilling and further work is 
planned to investigate the potential for this area to add to 
current resources.

The principal activities of the group during the financial year were the exploration of mineral tenements in Western 
Australia (“WA”). 

DIVIDENDS 

No dividends have been declared, provided for or paid in respect of the year ended 30 June 2018. 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES 

Caravel Minerals is a junior explorer based in Perth, Australia and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: 
CVV). The Company is a copper, molybdenum, gold and base metals exploration and resource development company 
with deposits located in WA.  

During the reporting period Caravel maintained its focus on its flagship Caravel Copper Project located 120km NE of 
Perth.  in  a  regional  copper‐molybdenum‐gold  mineralised  belt  discovered  in  a  previously  unexplored  part  of  the 
Yilgarn Craton. 

During the year the Company released a number of additional announcements which are available from the Company 
website or from the ASX. A brief summary of announcements is provided below;  









The Company completed first phase bulk ore sorting testwork to determine a “proof of concept”. 

Completion of a 1,281m RC drilling program confirmed the presence of a large new mineralised system at 
Dasher East and extensions of mineralisation at Opie.   

Planning for follow‐up of these new areas and programme of core drilling at Bindi and Dasher to test 
continuity and extent of higher‐grade zones. 

Preparation for new phase of feasibility studies to prepare project for final BFS decision; focus on tenure 
and identifying processing‐specification range water sources as well as progressing work on opportunities 
such as higher grade in early mine schedule and ore sorting. 

CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL POSITION 

The group’s net loss from operations for the year was $2,483,941 (2017: $1,651,251). 

At 30 June 2018, the group had net current assets of $347,894 (2017: $256,798). Subsequent to year end, Caravel 
raised $1,624,763 by the issue of 32,495,251 shares in a pro rata rights issue. The Directors believe there are sufficient 
funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements and as at the date of this report the Group believes it can 
meet all liabilities as and when they fall due. 

This report is prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activity and the 
realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. 

The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the opinion 
that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will continue to be successful in 
securing additional funds through equity issues as and when the need to raise funds arises. 

BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS 

The group currently has the following business strategies and prospects over the medium to long term: 

Seek to maximise the value of the group through successful exploration activities; 
Selectively expand the group’s portfolio of exploration assets; and 

(i)
(ii)
(iii) Examine other new business development opportunities in the mining and resources sector.

the financial period.  

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS  

It is the Board's current intention that the group will seek to progress exploration on current projects. The group will 
also continue to examine new opportunities in the mining and resources sector where appropriate. 

These activities are inherently risky and there can be no certainty that the group will be able to successfully achieve 
the objectives.  

GREENHOUSE GAS AND ENERGY DATA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 

The  Directors  have  considered  compliance  with  the  National  Greenhouse  and  Energy  Reporting  Act  2007  which 
requires entities to report annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. The directors have assessed that there 
are no current reporting requirements, but may be required to do so in the future.

REMUNERATION PHILOSOPHY 

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company 
must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives. 

To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework: 




Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives; and
Link executive rewards to shareholder value.

Due  to  the  early  stage  of  development  which  the  Company  is  in,  shareholder  wealth  is  directly  affected  by  the 
Company share price, as the Company is not in a position to pay dividends. By remunerating Directors and Executives

CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018 
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
30 June 2018
Directors’ Report
30 June 2018
in part by share based payments, the Company aims to align the interests of Directors and Executives with Shareholder 
wealth,  thus  providing  individual  incentive  to  perform  and  thereby  improving  overall  Company  performance  and 
associated value. 

As the Company has been incorporated since June 2006 and remains in the development stage of an inherently risky 
industry, the remuneration policy does not currently take into account current or prior year earnings. Other than share 
based payments made to the directors from time to time, there is no specific link to the Company’s performance and 
directors’ remuneration. 

REMUNERATION STRUCTURE 

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-executive  director  and  executive 
remuneration is separate and distinct. 

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION 

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

Structure 
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate directors' fees payable to non-executive directors 
shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then 
divided between the directors as agreed. Shareholders’ have approved aggregate directors' fees payable of $300,000 
per year. 

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.  Fees  for  non-
executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company or shareholder wealth.  

All remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors is valued at cost to the Company and expensed. 

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the years ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 is detailed below, 
within this section. 

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION 

Objective 
The Company aims to reward executives (both directors and company executives) with a level and mix of remuneration 
commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to: 





Reward executives for Company performance; 
Align the interest of executives with those of shareholders; and 
Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. 

Structure 
The remuneration policy for executives is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a specific equity related 
component. The board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate given the stage of  development of the 
Company and the activities which it undertakes and is appropriate in aligning director objectives with shareholder and 
business objectives. 

The remuneration policy going forward in regard to setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors has 
been developed by the board taking into account market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a 
similar size and operating in similar sectors. 

Fixed Remuneration  

Objective 
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration. 

Fixed  remuneration  is  to  be  reviewed  annually  and  the  process  consists  of  a  review  of  company  and  individual 
performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal policies and practices.

Directors’ Report
30 June 2018
Structure 
Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe 
benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the  recipient without creating undue 
cost for the Company. 

The remuneration policy going forward in regard to setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors has 
been developed by the board taking into account market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a 
similar size and operating in similar sectors. 

The remuneration of executives for the years ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 is detailed below, within this 
section. 

Variable Remuneration 

Objective 
The objective of  variable remuneration provided is to reward executives in a  manner  which  aligns this element  of 
remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. 

Structure 
Variable remuneration may be delivered in the form of options, shares or cash bonus. No cash bonuses were granted 
or paid during the year ended 30 June 2018 or in the prior year. 

Executives  receive  a  superannuation  guarantee  contribution  required  by  the  government,  which  is  currently  9.5% 
(9.5% for the year ended 30 June 2017) and do not receive any other retirement benefit. Some individuals, however, 
may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. 

Options Granted 

During the year, Mr Marcel Hilmer was issued 1,100,000 options, with a strike price of $0.06 per option, expiring on 
23 August 2020. These options were issued to Mr Hilmer on 24 August 2017 being the date shareholders approved the 
issue in general meeting. These options were granted in the prior period and share based payment expense has been 
recognised in the prior period

NOTE TO THE CONSOLIDATED 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2018
For the Year Ended 30 June 2018

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION 

The annual report of Caravel Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance 
with a resolution of the directors on 26 September 2018. 

1.1. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 

These  financial  statements  are  general  purpose  financial  statements  which  have  been  prepared  in 
accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other 
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. 

Caravel Minerals Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 

1.2. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT 

The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. 

1.3. FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY 

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. 

1.4. COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS 

These  financial  statements  comply  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  as  issued  by  the  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  Board  and  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  as  issued  by  the 
International Accounting Standards Board. 

1.5. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  Caravel 
Minerals Limited (‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the 
year then ended. Caravel Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report 
as the group or the consolidated entity. 

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

A list of controlled entities is contained in note 6.1.1 to the financial statements. 

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

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

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

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

1.6. GOING CONCERN 

This report is prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activity 
and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.  

Financial Report 2018                                                               16

CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTE TO THE CONSOLIDATED 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
For the year ended 30 June 2018
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2018

The Group incurred a net loss of $2,483,941 during the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: $1,651,251) and as 
of that date the Group had current assets of $363,374 (30 June 2017: $363,374) including cash and cash 
equivalents of $287,689 (30 June 2017: $287,689). Net cash used in operating activities for the period was 
$2,029,782 (2016: $1,577,740).  

These  conditions  indicate  a  material  uncertainty  that  may  cast  doubt  about  the  ability  of  the  Group  to 
continue as a going concern. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent 
upon its ability to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets or by other means, and by managing 
cash flows in line with available funds, and/or the successful development of its exploration assets.  

The Directors are confident of the ability of the Company to potentially raise capital as and when required. 
The Directors are satisfied there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements as at 
the date of this report. 

The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the 
opinion that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will continue to 
be successful in securing additional funds as and when the need to raise funds arises. Should the entity not 
be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities 
other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial 
statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and 
classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue 
as a going concern. 

1.7. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS 

The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and 
assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  in  the  financial  statements.  Management  continually 
evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and 
expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on other various 
factors  it  believes  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances,  the  results  of  which  form  the  basis  of  the 
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may 
differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. 

Management  has  identified  the  following  critical  accounting  policies  for  which  significant  judgements, 
estimates  and  assumptions  are  made.  Actual  results  may  differ  from  these  estimates  under  different 
assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in 
future periods. 

Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the 
financial statements. 

Significant accounting judgements 

The determination of mineral resources impacts the accounting for asset carrying values. Caravel Minerals 
Limited  estimates  its  mineral  resources  in  accordance  with  the  Australasian  Code  for  Reporting  of 
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2012 (the ‘JORC’ Code). The information on mineral 
resources was prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons as defined in the JORC Code. The 
amounts presented are based on the mineral resources determined under the JORC Code. 

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources, and assumptions that are valid 
at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. 

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions 

Exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  is  assessed  for  impairment  if  sufficient  data  exists  to  determine 
technical feasibility and commercial viability or facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount 
exceeds the recoverable amount. 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for indicators of impairment in accordance with AASB 6 
Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources when any of the following facts and circumstances exist: 



The term of exploration licence in the specific area of interest has expired during the reporting 
period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; 

Financial Report 2018                                                               17

For the Year Ended 30 June 2018







Substantive expenditure on further exploration and/ or evaluation of mineral resources in the 
specific area are not budgeted nor planned; 

Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the 
discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the decision was made to 
discontinue such activities in the specified area; or 

Sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to 
proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered 
in full from successful development or by sale. 

Where a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each cash generating unit that is 
no larger than the area of interest. The Group performs impairment testing in accordance with accounting 
policy note 2.3. 

Judgement  is  applied  when  considering  whether  fact  and  circumstances  as  per  above  indicate  that  the 
exploration and evaluation asset should be tested for impairment and no impairment indicators were noted 
during the year. 

2. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE 

2.1. EXPLORATION & EVALUATION EXPENDITURE 

Caravel Mineral’s Copper Project is located 120kms from Perth in Western Australia’s Wheatbelt region. The 
potential  mining  area  is  located  on  cleared  agricultural  freehold  land  and is well  connected  to  existing 
infrastructure  including interconnected power,  roads and  highways, regional  service towns  and  a  range 
of export ports.   Caravel’s  copper  deposits  form  part  of a  regional  copper-molybdenum-gold  mineralised 
belt discovered in a previously unexplored part of the Yilgarn Craton. 

Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred as an operating cost of the Group. Costs related 
to the acquisition of properties that contain mineral resources are capitalised  and allocated separately to 
specific areas of interest. These costs are capitalised until the viability of the area of interest is determined. 

The Group has exploration costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest: 

Areas of interest: 
Caravel Copper Project  

2018 
$ 
3,107,811 

2017 
$ 
3,107,811 

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the 
successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively the sale, of the respective areas of 
interest. 

2.2. PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT 

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a 
separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the 
item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and 
maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the 
financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation is calculated on either the straight-line basis or diminishing value basis over their useful lives 
to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used are as 
follows: 

Plant and equipment 
Exploration equipment 
Vehicles  
Leasehold improvements   
Computer equipment and software  
Buildings 

30% 
25%

Caravel Minerals Limited conducts an annual internal review of asset values, which is used as a source  of 
information to assess for any indicators of impairment. External factors, such as changes in expected future 
processes, technology and economic conditions, are also monitored to assess for indicators of impairment. 
If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated. 

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable 
amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the 
purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable  cash  inflows  that  are  largely  independent  of  the  cash  inflows  from  other  assets  or  groups  of 
assets  (cash-generating  units).  Non-financial  assets  other  than  goodwill  that  suffered  an  impairment  are 
tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that 
the impairment may have reversed. 

No impairment indicators were noted for the period ended 30 June 2018

Management  has  determined  the  operating  segments  based  on  the  reports  reviewed  by  the  board  of 
directors  that  are  used  to  make  strategic  decisions.  The  Group  does  not  have  any  material  operating 
segments with discrete financial information. The Group does not have any customers and all its’ assets and 
liabilities are primarily related to the mining industry and are located within Australia. The Board of Directors 
review internal management reports on a regular basis that is consistent with the information provided in 
the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  statement  of  financial  position  and 
statement of cash flows. As a result no reconciliation is required because the information as presented is 
what is used by the Board to make strategic decisions. 

3.4.

INCOME TAX 

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on 
the national 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 

Financial Report 2018                                                               20

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 reporting 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. 

Caravel  Minerals  Limited  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  controlled  entities  have  implemented  the  tax 
consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2013. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and 
the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements. 

(a) The major components of income tax are: 
Current income tax 
Current income tax benefit 
Current income tax benefit not recognised 

Deferred income tax 
Relating to the origination and reversal of temporary differences 
Deferred Income Tax Charge not Recognised 
Income tax expense reported in the income statement 

(b) A reconciliation between tax expense and the product of 
accounting loss before tax multiplied by the Company’s applicable 
income tax rate is as follows: 
Accounting loss before tax from continuing operations 
Loss before income tax from discontinued operations 
Accounting loss before income tax 

At the Company’s statutory income tax rate of 27.5% (2017: 27.5%)

3.5. LOSS PER SHARE 

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

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

The following reflects the income and share data used in the calculations of basic and diluted loss per 
share:

As  at  reporting  date,  37,213,222  (2017:  11,502,809)  unlisted  options  (which  represent  potential  ordinary 
shares) were not dilutive as they would decrease the loss per share.  

There have been no conversions to, calls of, or subscriptions for ordinary shares or issues of potential ordinary 
shares since the reporting date and before the completion of this financial report.

 “Cash and cash equivalents” includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other 
short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are 
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and 
cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of any bank overdrafts.

Trade  receivables  are  initially  recognised  and  carried  at  original  invoice  amount  less  provision  for 
impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. A 
provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect 
the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.

FUNDING AND RISK MANAGEMENT 

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so 
that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an 
optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the 
Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares 
or sell assets to reduce debt.  

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in 
the proportion to the number and amount paid on the shares held. Ordinary shares are classified as equity.  

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

5.1. CONTRIBUTED EQUITY 

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.

Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of the winding up of the 
Company, to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of 
and amounts paid up on shares held. Ordinary shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or by 
proxy, at a meeting of the Company.

5.4. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well 
as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.  

Being at an exploration stage, the Company does not generate cash inflows from its operations to fund its 
exploration and working capital requirements, therefore, the Company may issue shares to either generate 
cash for operations or to acquire assets in order to maintain adequate levels of cash reserves. 

During  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2018,  the  Company  issued  52,191,437  ordinary  shares  (2017: 
18,680,202 ordinary shares).  

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

5.5. SIGNIFICANT NON-CASH FINANCING AND INVESTING ACTIVITIES 

On 17 May 2017, the Company issued 500,000 unlisted options to an advisor of the Company as a fee for 
investor relations services.  

During the year, 3,848,048 (2017: 1,074,578) shares were issued to drilling contractors in payment of drilling 
services performed. A further 122,541 were issued to marketing consultants in payment of consulting fees. 

5.6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. 

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund capital expenditure on the Group’s operations. 
The  Group  has  various  other  financial  assets  and  liabilities  such  as  trade  receivables  and  trade payables, 
which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group’s 
policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. Being at an exploration stage, the Group 
has limited exposure to risks arising from its financial instruments. 

Currently the  Group does not  have any  exposure to commodity price risk  or foreign  currency risk  as the 
Group  has  ceased  operations  in  Spain.  As  the  Group  moves  into  development  and  production  phases, 
exposure to commodity price risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk are expected to increase. The Board 
will set appropriate policies to manage these risks dependent on market conditions and requirements at that 
time.

caravelminerals.com.auNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2018

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the 
basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class 
of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 1. 

5.6.1. CREDIT RISK 

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties fail to perform as contracted. The 
Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of financial asset is the 
carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position. The majority of cash and 
cash equivalents is held with one Australian Bank which has an AA- long-term credit rating from Standard 
and Poor’s. 

Wherever  possible,  the  Group  trades  only  with  recognised,  credit  worthy  third  parties.  There  are  no 
significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group. Since the Group trades only with recognised third 
parties, there is no requirement for collateral. 

5.6.2.  LIQUIDITY RISK 

Liquidity risk  is the risk  that the Group does not  have sufficient  funds to pay its debts as and when they 
become due and payable. The Group currently does not have major funding in place. However the Group 
continuously  monitors  forecast  and  actual  cash  flows  and  the  maturity  profiles  of  financial  assets  and 
financial liabilities to manage its liquidity risk. 

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use 
of bank loans if and when required.  

Cash at bank and on hand, as set out in Note 4.1, is available for use by the Group without restrictions. 

Financial liabilities of the Group at 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 are expected to be settled within 6 months 
of year-end. 

5.6.3. MARKET RISK 

(A) PRICE RISK 

The  group  is  exposed  to  equity  securities  price  risk.  This  arises  from  investments  held  by  the  group  and 
classified  as  available-for-sale.  The  group  is  not  exposed  to  commodity  price  risk.  The  sensitivity  of 
movements in the price has not been disclosed as it is not material to the Group. 

(B) FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK 

The group do not have any foreign currency balances and therefore is not exposed to any foreign currency 
risk.  

(C)

INTEREST RATE RISK 

The following tables summarise the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets to interest rate risk. Had the 
relevant variables, as illustrated in the tables, moved, with all other variables held constant, post tax loss and 
equity would have been affected as shown. The analysis has been performed on the same basis for 2018 and 
2017 and represents management’s judgement of a reasonably possible movement.

During the year ending 30 June 2018, $25,200 was received from Forsys Metals, of which Mr Marcel Hilmer 
was a director, for provision of serviced offices (2017: $50,400). 

7.3. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS 

The Group provides benefits to Directors, employees, consultants and other advisors of the Group in the 
form of share-based payments, whereby the Directors, employees, consultants and other advisors render 
services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). 

The  cost  of  these  equity-settled  transactions  is  measured  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model. 

In  valuing  equity-settled  transactions,  no  account  is  taken  of  any  performance  conditions,  other  than 
conditions linked to the market price of the shares of the Company if applicable. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over 
the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the 
relevant recipient becomes fully entitled to the award (the vesting period). 

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date 
reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Company’s best estimate of the 
number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market 
performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair 
value at grant date. The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income charge or credit for a 
period  represents  the  movement  in  cumulative  expense  recognised  as  at  the  beginning  and  end  of  that 
period. 

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only 
conditional upon a market condition. 

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms 
had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total 
fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the recipient, as measured 
at the date of modification. 

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any 
expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted 
for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled 
and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous 
paragraph. 

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation 
of earnings per share (see Note 3.5). 

Under the employee share scheme, shares are issued to employees by providing interest free loans and will 
vest over the restriction period. The shares are held by the Trust until the loan is repaid. Within the loan 
period the employee must have paid off the loan balance, at which point the shares are delivered to the

employee, or surrendered the shares. Surrender of the shares by the employee after the restriction period, 
is treated as discharging any outstanding amount on the loan, irrespective of the value of the shares. 

The effect of such an arrangement is equivalent to an option with a strike price per share equal to the share 
price on grant date.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2018

The  dividend  yield  reflects  the  assumption  that  the  current  dividend  payout  will  remain  unchanged.  The 
expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns 
that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of 
future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. 

7.6. SHARES 

During  the  year  3,970,589  ordinary  shares  were  issued  to  contractors  of  the  Company  for  drilling  and 
marketing services. The shares were issued at market value calculated by a 10-day VWAP at the end of each 
invoice  month  for  a  total  consideration  of  $269,303.  The  value  of  the  services  could  not  be  reliably 
determined  and  therefore,  were  measured  at  their  fair  value  calculated  on  the  10-day  VWAP  (volume 
weighted) trading price of the company’s share price for the last 10 days of each calendar month in which 
the invoice was received. 

7.7. RECOGNISED SHARE BASED PAYMENT EXPENSE IN PROFIT OR LOSS

party of Alex Sundich. 

Other than the matters above, at the date of this report there are no other matters or circumstances which 
have arisen since 30 June 2018 that have significantly affected or may significantly affect: 

the operations, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2018, of the Group; 

the results of those operations, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2018, of the Group. 

8.2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

The Company has certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work on the tenements in which it 
has  an  interest.  These  obligations  vary  from  time  to  time.  The  aggregate  of  the  prescribed  expenditure 
conditions applicable to the granted tenements for the next twelve months amounts to $764,330.  

Application for exemption from all or some of the prescribed expenditure conditions will be made but no 
assurance is given that any such application will be granted. Nevertheless, the Company is optimistic, given 
its level of expenditure in the North Perth Basin, that it would likely be granted exemptions, on a project 
basis,  in  respect  of  the  prescribed  expenditure  conditions  applicable  to  many  of  its  North  Perth  Basin 
tenements.  

If the prescribed expenditure conditions are not met with respect to a tenement, that tenement is liable to 
forfeiture.  

The Company has the ability to diminish its exposure under these conditions through the application of a 
variety  of  techniques  including  applying  for  exemptions  (from  the  regulatory  expenditure  obligations), 
surrendering tenements, relinquishing portions of tenements or entering into farm-out agreements whereby 
third parties bear the burdens of such obligation in whole or in part 

As at 30 June 2018 Caravel Minerals Limited has no contingent liabilities.

8.4. NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS 

Early adoption of accounting standards 

The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting 
year beginning 1 July 2017. 

New and amended standards adopted by the Group 

None  of  the  new  standards  and  amendments  to  standards  that  are  mandatory  for  the  first  time  for  the 
financial year beginning 1 July 2017 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current year or any prior 
period and are not likely to affect future periods. 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 
June 2018 reporting year.  The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations 
that may have an impact on the Group is set out below: 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 

AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets.  There is no material 
impact for Caravel.  This standard is not applicable until the financial year commencing 1 July 2018. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

AASB 15 deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users 
of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising 
from an entity’s contracts with customers. It also introduces new cost guidance which requires certain costs 
of obtaining and fulfilling contracts to be recognised as separate assets when specified criteria are met.  This 
standard is not applicable until the financial year commencing 1 July 2018, and there will be no impact on 
Caravel’s financial statements. 

AASB 16 Leases 

AASB 16 requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months.  
There is no material impact for Caravel. This standard is not applicable until the financial year commencing 
1 July 2019. 

Financial Report 2018                                                               31

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Caravel Minerals Ltd

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Caravel Minerals Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.

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

(i)

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion

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

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

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

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1.6 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions
which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the
group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty
related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report.

Carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The carrying value of the capitalised exploration and

Our procedures included, but were not limited to:

evaluation asset as at 30 June 2018 is disclosed in

Note 2.1 of the financial report.

As the carrying value of the Exploration and

Evaluation Asset represents a significant asset of the

Company, we considered it necessary to assess

whether any facts or circumstances exist to suggest

that the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its

recoverable amount.

Judgement is applied in determining the treatment

of exploration expenditure in accordance with

Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6 Exploration

for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources.  In

particular:

• Whether the conditions for capitalisation

are satisfied;

• Which elements of exploration and
evaluation expenditures qualify for

recognition; and

• Whether facts and circumstances indicate

that the exploration and expenditure assets

should be tested for impairment.

•

•

•

•

•

Obtaining a schedule of the area of interest

held by the Company and assessing whether the

rights to tenure of the area of interest

remained current at balance date;

Considering the status of the ongoing

exploration programmes in the area of interest

by holding discussions with management, and

reviewing the Company’s exploration budgets,

ASX announcements and director’s minutes;

Considering whether the area of interest had

reached a stage where a reasonable assessment

of economically recoverable reserves existed;

Considering whether any facts or circumstances

existed to suggest impairment testing was

required; and

Assessing the adequacy of the related

disclosures in Note 2.1 to the Financial

Statements.

CARAVEL MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2018INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (continued)
For the year ended 30 June 2018

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the
information contained in the Directors report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include
the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this
auditor’s report, and the Chairmans letter, Project & Strategy review and the Annual Statement of 
mineral resources, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.

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

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date
of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

When we read the Chairmans letter, Project & Strategy review and the Annual Statement of mineral 
resources, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communic
ate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected.  If it is not corrected, we will seek 
to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom our report is prepared.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

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

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

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