Chairman’s Message  

Dear Shareholder 

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of Dome Gold Mines Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018. 

The  past  twelve  months  have  seen  significant  advances  at  both  our  Sigatoka  Ironsand  Project  and  Ono 
Island Gold Project in Fiji, while our third project (Nadrau Copper-Gold) currently  has a lower priority and 
awaits further exploration at a later date. 

At Sigatoka, the main focus of activity was on Koroua Island, near the mouth of the Sigatoka River, where a 
comprehensive  drilling  programme  was  completed,  utilising  the  company’s  own  sonic  drill  rig.  This  work 
filled an important gap in our knowledge of sand distribution and thickness within the currently delineated 
Sigatoka JORC 2012 mineral resource, defined by earlier sonic drilling. Correlation from hole to hole was 
good, with generally about 2m of silty clay/loam overburden above some 8m of coarse to very coarse sand 
and  up  to  15m  of  finer  sand  below  that.  Most  drill  holes  extended  from  surface  to  about  25m  and  the 
majority of these ended in mineralised fine sand. The results from the island drilling are very encouraging, 
with  thick  sand  sequences  and  heavy  mineral  abundances,  including  magnetite,  consistent  with  those  in 
the  existing  resource.  A  little  more  drilling  remains  to  be  done  in  this  area  and  once  that  is  completed,  a 
new mineral resource estimate will be commissioned for Sigatoka. 

While we await that resource upgrade we are pleased to note the emergence of strong domestic demand 
for sand and gravel within Fiji as a result of the country’s ongoing infrastructure development and economic 
growth.  We  expect  therefore  to  find  local  markets  for  most  if  not  all  of  our  expected  industrial  sand  and 
gravel production, with only the magnetite and bulk heavy mineral concentrates to be exported in full. Our 
ability  to  supply  high  quality  industrial  sand  to  the  Fijian  domestic  market  will  be  of  significant  economic 
benefit  to  the  country  and  its  people.  For  Dome,  that  will  be  a  very  pleasing  outcome,  as  we  are  always 
very conscious that we are guests in Fiji. As such, we are well aware of the need to meet our social and 
economic responsibilities for our host nation and constantly strive to exceed expectations in that regard. 

Ono  Island,  situated  approximately  80km  south  of  Fiji’s  main  island,  has  been  the  other  principal  site  of 
exploration  activity  by  Dome  over  the  past  year.  Here  the  targets  of  interest  are  two  adjacent  gold 
prospects of high sulphidation, epithermal type. These are expressed at surface by intense rock alteration 
and  (oxidised) sulphide  mineralisation  over  a  wide  area,  accompanied  by  anomalous  gold, silver,  arsenic 
and other metals in soil samples. Encouraged by the size and intensity of alteration and mineralisation at 
Ono, and recognising the significant analogy between Ono and other Southwest Pacific gold prospects and 
mines,  Dome  conducted  a  geophysical  (IP)  survey  over  the  two  prospects  in  2016.  That  work  identified 
strong  chargeability  anomalies  at  depth,  with  attendant  zones  of  high  resistivity.  This  was  interpreted  as 
strongly  indicative  of  the  potential  for  epithermal  gold  mineralisation  at  depth  and  represented  a  very 
attractive exploration target. 

Accordingly,  an  initial  diamond  drilling  programme  was  designed  and  implemented  during  the  first  half  of 
2018.  That  work  was  performed  for  Dome  by  a  Fiji-based  contractor  known  as  Geodrill.  This  first  phase 
programme saw a total of 2276m of drilling in seven holes, testing parts of both the eastern and western 
Naqara prospects on Ono. 

All  seven  holes  intersected  rock  displaying  strong  to  intense  argillic  (clay)  alteration,  accompanied  by 
silicification and the presence of sulphides (mainly pyrite) on fractures, in veins and as disseminated grains. 
Maximum sulphide mineralisation corresponded well to the targeted zones of high chargeability, confirming 
the  veracity  of  the  IP  survey  and  interpretation.  Anomalous  copper,  molybdenum  and  weakly  anomalous 
gold  and  silver  values  were  reported  from  assays  of  drill  core  and  these  results  provide  much 
encouragement  that  the  Naqara  prospects  comprise  a  fertile,  metal-bearing  system.  With  such  a  large 
volume of rock to be tested (roughly 2km3 in the top 500m), as yet quite limited information on what might 
actually  be  controlling  metal  distribution,  and  only  seven  drill  holes  to  date,  the  search  for  gold  at  Ono  is 
very much a work in progress. A good deal more drilling will be required to unveil Ono’s secrets. In keeping 
with industry best practice in mineral exploration, Dome will carry out a thorough review of results to date, 
including 3-D modelling of geophysics, geochemistry, alteration and sulphide distribution, before we launch 
a second phase of drilling. That modelling should help us identify specific gold targets more definitively than 
was possible before any direct sub-surface information was available from drilling. In particular, we will be 
looking  for  evidence  of  boiling  zones  and  other  geological  factors  that  may  control  the  distribution  and 
deposition of gold.

Chairman’s Message  

As mentioned above, Dome takes its social responsibility towards the Government and people of Fiji very 
seriously  and  over  the  past  year  we  have  continued  to  give  financial  and  material  support  to  the  Fijian 
communities in which we work.  Ms Jean White has once again led that process and her expertise in this 
area is much appreciated by both Dome and our Fijian hosts. 

At the end of July, 2018, Dome announced that it had signed a Heads of Agreement with IHC Robbins, a 
wholly  owned  affiliate  of  Royal  IHC  of  the  Netherlands  (IHC),  appointing  them as  contractor  to  carry  out, 
when  requested,  a  Definitive  Feasibility  Study  (DFS)  for Dome  at  Sigatoka.  The  DFS  contract is seen  as 
the beginning of a long term strategic relationship between the companies that will include the appointment 
of  IHC  as  Engineering,  Procurement  and  Construction  manager  at  Sigatoka  when,  assuming  a  positive 
DFS result, the project proceeds to development. 

I believe the new relationship with IHC will prove to be of great value to Dome, as IHC is a world leader in 
the manufacture and operation of dredge mining and mineral sand processing equipment. They will bring to 
us a great depth of expertise in recovering sand in the marine and estuarine environments in an economic 
and environmentally sound manner. IHC has its roots in 17th century Netherlands and that long history will 
bring much credibility to our undertaking at Sigatoka. 

It is a pleasure for me once again to thank my fellow directors at Dome, Mr Tadao Tsubata and Ms Sarah 
Harvey, for their expertise and support throughout the year. Mr Tsubata, in particular, has continued to form 
an important bridge to our Japanese shareholders and to bring new capital to the company from Japanese 
investors.  His  financial  role  has  been  critical  to  our  ability  to  get  on  with  the  job  in  Fiji  and  thus  begin  to 
realise for all shareholders the value we see waiting for release at our Fijian projects. 

Finally, I would like to thank the staff and contractors of Dome, who have continued to serve the company 
with unstinting loyalty.  Mr Jack McCarthy, as CEO, has provided strong leadership and firm control of our 
programme,  aided  more  recently  by  Dr  Matthew  White,  who  has  been  appointed  pro  tem  as  exploration 
manager.  They have been well supported by a small administrative staff in Sydney and by a very effective 
team in Fiji, who are keen to build wealth for their country, their company and themselves by the diligent 
application of their skills to the discovery and development of Fiji's mineral resources.

Initial JORC 2012 resource estimate was published  in October 2014  and  part of a sonic drilling 
 
program to update this report will be completed in 2018. 

  Expecting to release a report updating initial JORC 2012 report by December 2018. 

In  October  2014  the  company  announced  a  maiden  JORC  2012  Resource  Estimate  for  its  100%-
owned Sigatoka Iron Sand Project, located on the main island of Viti Levu, Fiji (see Figure 2). 

A  maiden  Resource  Estimate  of  131.6  million  tonnes  included  Indicated  Mineral  Resources  of  25 
million  tonnes  @11.6%  HM  at  Sigatoka  River,  and  Inferred  Mineral  Resources  of  100.7  Mt  @  17% 
HM at the onshore Kulukulu deposit and 5.9 million tonnes @ 11% HM at Sigatoka River.

Directors’ Report 

The Resource consists of detrital magnetite and other heavy minerals in a coastal sand deposit.  The 
iron  sand  will  be  dredged  from  the  Sigatoka  river  bed  and  processed  by  gravity  and  magnetic 
separation to produce saleable products ready for export. 

In  addition  to  magnetite  concentrate,  non-magnetic  heavy  mineral  concentrate  and  sand  and  gravel 
suitable for industrial or land reclamation uses are expected to be produced during processing.

Directors’ Report 

In  December  2014  Dome  received  an  Environmental  Impact  Assessment  report  prepared  by 
independent  environmental  specialists,  Corerega  Environment  Consultants.    The  report  concluded 
that  “the  proposed  mining,  dredging  and  mineral  extraction  development  project  is  likely  to  have 
significant economic benefits to the local area, the region and the Country  of Fiji and local residents 
are  likely  to  benefit  from  the  increase  in  productivity  of  land,  river  and  marine  environment  and 
through job opportunities”. 

Dome announced the completion of a positive Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in March 2015.  The PFS 
concluded  that  a  viable  dredge  mining  and  sand  processing  operation  to  recover  industrial  sand, 
gravel,  magnetite  concentrate  (iron  ore)  and  a  bulk  non-magnetic  heavy  mineral  concentrate,  all 
products  have  local  or  international  markets.  The  PFS  recommended  completion  of  a  Definitive 
Feasibility  Study  (DFS) that  will include  the operation of a  pilot  processing plant  to  produce  product 
samples that can  be used  for  establishing  market prices. In addition, the  DFS  will generate  process 
engineering  data  needed  for  the  design  and  equipment  selection  of  a  full-scale  process  plant.  The 
DFS will also provide support to seek funds to implement the mining operation. 

The potential to generate stable revenue by producing multiple products for sale, as well as its coastal 
location,  give  the  Sigatoka  Project  commercial  advantages  that  many  other  iron  ore  projects  do  not 
possess. 

In  July  2017,  a  program  of  67  sonic  drill  holes  commenced  on  Koroua  Island,  a  part  of  the  heavy 
mineral and magnetite bearing sand deposit that is not yet part of the JORC 2012 resource estimate 
(see Figure 3). The drilling confirmed that the island is composed of thick (up to 26m) sand and gravel 
containing  an  average  of  13%  heavy  minerals.  Figure  4  is  a  geological  cross  section  showing  the 
distribution of the sand and gravel tested during drilling.

Half sonic core  samples  were collected for the  drilling  and  shipped to  a mineral sands laboratory  in 
Perth, Australia for initial analysis. Composite samples for the heavy minerals extracted from the sand 
will be sent to IHC Robbins laboratory near Brisbane, Australia where the magnetite will be separated 
from the heavy mineral concentrate using wet magnetic processes. 

In addition to Koroua Island, land west of the mouth of the Sigatoka River will also be sonic drilled and 
the analytical data from this drilling will be used to update the initial JORC 2012 report.

Directors’ Report 

SPL 1451 Ono Island Project 
•  This tenement of 3,028ha on Ono Island, the eastern most island of the Kadavu Group, covers a 

number of hydrothermally altered and mineralised areas and caldera/volcanic centres. 

•  Two  high  sulphidation  epithermal  gold-silver  targets  and  possible  deeper  porphyry  copper-gold 
exploration targets (Naqara East and Naqara West) have been identified by geological mapping. 
•  The  prospect  is  spatially  associated  with  shoshonitic  volcanic  centres  that  appear  similar  in 
alteration  style,  geological  formation  and  metal  geochemical  anomalism  to  the  Lepanto  gold-
copper  deposit  in  the  Philippines.  Induced  Polarisation  (IP)  arrays  were  completed  in  October 
2016, identifying anomalies that justified testing. 

•  A  7-hole  exploration  diamond  drill  program  commenced  in  March  2018  and  was  completed  in 
early  July  2018  for  a  total  of  2276m  of  drilling.  Inspection  of  drill  core  showed  strong  sulphide 
mineralised zones coincident with the Induced Polarisation conductive anomalies, confirming the 
veracity of the IP interpretations. 

•  Review of all data and 3-D modelling of exploration results to date will now be undertaken before 

proceeding with the next phase of drilling. 

Figure 5 – Naqara East and West Prospects on Ono Island showing the extent of hydrothermal 
alteration  and  the  IP  survey  lines.  Proposed  drill  hole  locations  (A  to  E)  are  based 
on the IP results and surface geology 

Prior  to  the  exploration  diamond  drilling,  an  offset  pole-dipole  IP  survey  involving  4  arrays,  2  over 
each prospect (see Figure 5) was completed.  Transmitter electrodes were placed along a central cut 
line  at  100m  intervals  with  3  to  4  additional  electrodes  at  the  end  of  each  receiver  line  for  totals  of 
between  31  and  32  points  per  array  (gold  coloured  lines  on  Figure  5).    Receiver  electrodes  were 
placed at 100m intervals along the two survey lines either side of the transmitter line (34 points). 

Two 32 channel IP receivers were used to take 3 to 4 readings at each electrode.  Figures 6 & 7 are 
compilations of surface alteration and the processed IP data for the East and West Naqara prospects, 
known  as  Naqara  East  and  Naqara  West.   The  area  had  previously  been  covered  by  soil  sampling 
and geological mapping campaigns that identified locations of intense argillic alteration and zones of 
silicification and anomalous geochemistry, proximal to the northern rim of a volcanic caldera.

The  offset  pole-dipole  survey  has  been  successful  in  assisting  with  location  of  an  initial  exploration 
drilling  program  on  Ono  Island,  one  of  the  few  remaining  untested  epithermal  targets  along  the  so-
called  “Rim  of  Fire”  in  the  South  West  Pacific.    The  schematic  model  in  Figure  8  shows  how  the 
hydrothermal alteration, anomalous geochemistry, present land surface and IP data may indicate the 
presence of gold-silver bearing sulphide mineralisation in this environment. 

The Company announced on 19 June 2017 that on-site preparations had commenced in advance of 
the drill program designed to sample the IP anomalies detected. In January 2018, Dome engaged a 
Fiji-based  drilling  contractor,  Geodrill,  to  undertake  a  diamond  drilling  program  at  Ono  Island.  The 
drilling  commenced on  6  March  2018  and the  program was completed  on 3 July  2018 for a total  of 
2276  m.  The  drilling  program  tested  several  epithermal  gold  targets  at  two  prospects  on  the  Ono 
Island (Naqara East and Naqara West). 

The targeting of drill holes on Ono Island was based on the positive results from several exploration 
campaigns  completed  by  Dome  over  previous  years:  1)  ionic  leach  soil  sampling;  2)  geological  and 
alteration mapping: and 3) an Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical survey.

Directors’ Report 

The IP survey identified several strong IP chargeability anomalies below the anomalous geology and 
geochemistry defined at surface. Naqara East shows the strongest IP conductivity response (see 
Figure 8). 

Five drill holes were initially proposed (Targets A to E), and another two targets (F and G) were added 
during the drilling program. Seven diamond holes (ONODDH001 to 7) were drilled to test the Naqara 
East and Naqara West prospects. One drill hole ONODDH002 was twinned due to hole problems, 
with the second hole named ONODDH002A. A drill hole location map is included as Figure 9. A table 
showing the GPS collar co-ordinates for the program is included below in Table 1.

West prospects, Ono Island 

The Diamond drilling program produced PQ and HQ size drilled core that was laid into core trays for 
logging and sampling. The drilling was problematical at times and progress was slow. This was due to 
the high-degree of fracturing and clay alteration causing some holes to collapse in places. Cementing 
was  carried  out,  in  order  to  secure  the  holes  in  areas  of  poor  ground  conditions  and  thus  reach 
deeper levels. 

The  core  was  cut  with  a  diamond  saw  and  sampled  (half-core),  before  despatching  to  ALS 
Laboratories  for  analysis.  QA/QC  samples  were  also  included  in  each  batch.  The  samples  were 
analysed for gold, silver, copper and a range of other elements. Details of the logging and sampling 
procedures are included in JORC Table 1 (See Dome June Quarter Activities Report). 

Holes ONODDH001 and ONODDH007 were designed to test the strongest IP chargeability anomalies 
at  depth  at  Naqara  East  (see  Figure  10).  These  IP  chargeability  anomalies  lie  directly  below  IP 
resistivity anomalies (see  Figure 11). Drill  hole ONODDH001  returned  wide  zones of  clay-magnetite 
alteration with zones of sulphide mineralisation up to 5% in places (dominantly pyrite) within the host 
andesitic volcanic rocks. Drill hole ONODDH007 also returned zones of clay alteration within andesitic 
host rocks, with zones of stronger sulphide mineralisation up to 7% in places (dominantly pyrite). 

A photo of the sulphide-bearing rock in drill core from ONODDH007 is shown in Figure 12, from 225.7 
m  depth.  The  presence  of  sulphide  in  the  lower  part  of  holes  ONODDH001  and  7  explains  the  IP 
chargeability responses. This provides Dome with a high degree of confidence that the IP geophysical 
technique has worked well and is able to detect zones of sulphide mineralisation at depth.

Directors’ Report 

SPL 1452 Nadrau Project 
•  This tenement of 33,213ha on Fiji’s main island, Viti Levu, is adjacent to the world class Namosi 
Porphyry  copper-gold  Project  that  reportedly  contains  2.1  billion  tonnes  grading  0.37%  Copper 
(Cu) and 0.12g/t Gold (Au). 

•  The  Dome  tenement  contains  two  large  copper-gold-silver  ionic  leach  geochemical  anomalies 
(Namoli  and  Wainivau  prospects)  interpreted  to  be  related  to  intrusive  centres  that  are  as  yet 
largely untested by drilling. 

•  Geological  mapping  and  rock  chip  sampling  have  discovered  porphyry  intrusive  complexes  at 
both the Namoli and Wainivau Prospects with alteration, mineralisation and vein types typical of 
mineralised systems. 

•  Copper-magnetite bearing veins have been discovered in outcrop at the Wainivau prospect. 
•  Also, in the  eastern section of the tenement is the large Wainivalau Intrusive Complex that has 
yet to be investigated for porphyry copper-gold systems analogous to those at Namosi-Wasoi to 
the south. 

Dome announced in July 2014 that its geologists had discovered outcropping copper mineralisation 
during  exploration  field  work  at  the  Wainivau  Prospect,  part  of  the  Nadrau  Porphyry  Copper-Gold 
Project  on  Fiji’s  main  island  of  Viti  Levu.  Dome  found  the  copper  minerals  (malachite  and 
chalcopyrite) associated with magnetite and pyrite in veinlets within outcropping and hydrothermally 
altered porphyry intrusive rocks. The veins and their geological setting are interpreted to be typical of 
the roof of a mineralised porphyry system. 

The Company has obtained quotes to undertake three-dimensional Induced Polarisation and ground 
magnetometer  surveys  over  the  two  porphyry  copper-gold  prospects,  namely  Namoli  and  the 
Wainivau (see Figures 13 & 14).  The objective of this work is to provide subsurface mapping data on 
the intrusive systems whose interpretation will assist with targeting of exploration diamond drill holes. 

The  renewal  of  SPL1452  for  a  further  2-year  period  for  the  licence  was  granted  by  the  Mineral 
Resources Department on 13 February 2017.

Figure 14 –  Wainivau porphyry system conceptual cross section.  Note the drill hole as shown 

is as proposed and has not yet been drilled. 

Compilation  and  interpretation  of  the  soil  geochemical,  rock  chip  sampling  and  geological  mapping 
outline two prospects, namely Namoli and Wainivau. Of the two prospects, the Namoli prospect was 
recently  re-interpreted  and  there  is  a  strong  correlation  among  anomalous  gold,  copper  and 
molybdenum  soil  geochem  anomalies  and  mapped  mineralised  porphyry  intrusive.  The  next  field 
program will concentrate on this target. 

The Special Prospecting Licence (SPL 1452) was granted for a further 2-year period on February 13, 
2017 and will remain in force until February 13, 2019.

EVENTS ARISING SINCE THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD 
Subsequent to the end of the financial year: 

SPL 1495 Sigatoka Iron Sand Project 
The  3-year  licence  period  expired  on  July  13,  2018,  so  notification  was  made  to  the  Mineral 
Resources  Department  (MRD)  of  the  Company’s  intention  to  apply  for  renewal  of  the  SPL1495  in 
early June 2018 and an application for renewal of SPL1495 for a further 3-year period for the licence 
was submitted to MRD on 6 July 2018. On Wednesday September 5, 2018 the Director of the MRD 
confirmed  their  full  support  for  the  renewal  and  advised  that  due  to  new  legal  requirements,  the 
Company needed to obtain a letter from the Public Trustee that they had no objection to the renewal. 
On  September  7,  2018  a  meeting  was  held  with  the  Public  Trustee,  Manager  of  Estates  &  Trusts 
responsible for five beneficiaries of the Work Estate freehold who confirmed her office supported the 
SPL1495  renewal,  and  will immediately seek the  consent of the five  beneficiaries. Since the  licence 
remains in force during the renewal process, it is planned that sonic drilling will resume in September 
2018 with completion of the updated JORC 2012 report during December 2018. 

In  July  2018,  the  Company  sought  expressions  of  interest  for  completion  of  a  Definitive  Feasibility 
Study (DFS) from five major engineering firms with experience in heavy mineral sand deposit mining 
and  processing  operations.  One  international  group,  IHC  Robbins,  an  affiliate  of  Royal  IHC  of  the 
Netherlands (IHC), agreed to enter into a Heads of Agreement with Dome and undertake the DFS as 
the first part of a developing strategic relationship between the companies.  

SPL 1451 Ono Island Project 
Assays for all  holes ONODDH001  to ONODDH007  were  carried  out by  ALS  Laboratories.  Drill  hole 
ONODDH001  (Naqara  East),  returned  anomalous  copper  assays  (to  0.3%  Cu)  and  anomalous 
molybdenum assays (to 0.2% Mo). The best Mo intercept is 5.05 m @ 0.0643% (643 ppm Mo), from 
323 to 328.05 m. This intercept comprises 5 contiguous one metre samples ranging from 110 ppm to 
2040 ppm Mo.  

The  gold-silver  assay  results  are  slightly  anomalous  within  areas  of  strong  alteration  and  sulphide 
mineralisation, but are well below economic levels, with maximum assay values of 0.036 g/t  Au and 
3.6 g/t Ag. 

The  elevated  Cu  and  Mo  and  weakly  anomalous  Au  and  Ag  indicates  a  metal-bearing  epithermal 
system is present at Naqara East, and that further exploration drilling could define gold mineralisation 
nearby.  

In summary, a large sulphide-bearing system weakly anomalous in several metals has been defined 
at Naqara East prospect on Ono Island, SPL 1451. This system has many similarities to other Pacific 
Rim gold-copper deposits. The strong epithermal alteration, sulphide mineralisation, elevated Cu-Mo

Directors’ Report 

and  weakly  anomalous  Au-Ag  in  drill  core  samples  is  encouraging.  Additional  systematic  drilling  is 
recommended to discover anomalous gold zones within these large sulphide bodies. 

No  other  matters  or  circumstances  have  arisen  since  the  end  of  the  year  that  have  significantly 
affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the 
state of affairs of the Group in future financial years. 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS, BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS 
The  Group will  continue  to explore  and evaluate the  Company's exploration  projects with  the  aim of 
identifying potential mineral resources, and will continue to seek and assess new opportunities in the 
Fiji mineral sector with the objective of adding significant shareholder value to Dome.  

The  Directors  are  unable  to  comment  on  the  likely  results  from  the  Group’s  planned  exploration 
activities due to the speculative nature of such activities.

Directors’ Report 

ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION 
The  Group  is  subject  to  state,  federal  and  international  environmental  legislation.    The  Group  has 
complied with its environmental obligations and no environmental breaches have been notified by any 
Government  agency  to  the  date  of  this  Directors’  Report  and  the  Directors  do  not  anticipate  any 
obstacles in complying with the legislation. 

INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS 
During  the  year,  Dome  paid  a  premium  to  insure  officers  of  the  Group.    The  officers  of  the  Group 
covered by the insurance policy include all Directors. 

The  liabilities  insured  are  legal  costs  that  may  be  incurred  in  defending  civil  or  criminal  proceedings 
that  may  be  brought  against  the  officers  in  their  capacity  as  officers  of  the  Group,  and  any  other 
payments  arising  from  liabilities  incurred  by  the  officers  in  connection  with  such  proceedings,  other 
than where such liabilities arise out of conduct  involving a  wilful breach of duty by the officers or the 
improper  use  by  the  officers  of  their  position  or  of  information  to  gain  advantage  for  themselves  or 
someone else to cause detriment to the Group. 

Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of insurance policies are not disclosed as such 
disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract. 

The  Group  has  not  otherwise,  during  or  since  the  end  of  the  financial  year,  except  to  the  extent 
permitted  by  law,  indemnified  or  agreed  to  indemnify  any  current  or  former  officer  or  auditor  of  the 
Group against a liability incurred as such by an officer or auditor. 

NON-AUDIT SERVICES 
During the  year, Grant Thornton, the Company’s auditors, performed no other services in addition to 
their statutory audit duties. 

The  Board may consider to employing  the auditor on assignments in  addition to their statutory  audit 
duties where the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Group are important provided the auditor 
is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services is compatible with, and did not compromise, 
the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 

  all  non-audit  services  were  subject  to  the  corporate  governance  procedures  adopted  by  the 
Company to ensure they do not impact upon the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and 

 

the non-audit services do  not undermine the general principles relating to  auditor independence 
as  set  out  in  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional  Accountants,  as  they  did  not  involve 
reviewing  or  auditing  the  auditor’s  own  work,  acting  in  a  management  or  decision-making 
capacity  for  the  Company,  acting  as  an  advocate  for  the  Company  or  jointly  sharing  risks  and 
rewards.   

Details of the amounts paid to the auditors of the Company, Grant Thornton, and its related practices 
for  audit  and  non-audit  services  provided  during  the  year  are  set  out  in  Note  19  to  the  Financial 
Statements. 

PROCEEDINGS OF BEHALF OF THE COMPANY 
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring 
proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a 
party,  for  the  purpose  of  taking  responsibility  on  behalf  of  the  Company  for  all  or  part  of  those 
proceedings.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

The Financial Report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Dome Gold Mines Ltd 
and controlled entities (‘Group’).  

1  GENERAL INFORMATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE  

The consolidated general purpose financial statements of the Group 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. Compliance with Australian 
Accounting  Standards  results  in  full  compliance  with  the  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards 
(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).The Group is a for-profit entity 
for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 were approved and authorised for 
issue by the board of directors on 13 September 2018 (see note 29). 

Dome  Gold  Mines  Limited  is  the  Group’s  ultimate  parent  company.  Dome  Gold  Mines  Ltd  is  a  public 
company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia on 8 July 2011.  The registered office 
is Suite 2, Level 8, 17-19 Bridge Street, Sydney 2000. 

Dome Gold Mines Ltd is the parent company with 100% ownership of: 
  Magma Mines Pty Ltd; 
  Dome Mines Ltd (a company limited by shares incorporated in Fiji); and 
  Magma Mines Ltd (a company limited by shares incorporated in Fiji). 

The principal activities of the Group during the financial year have been the continuing exploration and 
evaluation of the following projects in Fiji: 
 
 
 

SPL1451 Ono Island, 
SPL1452 Nadrau; and 
SPL1495 Sigatoka Ironsands. 

2  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

2.1 New and revised standards that are effective and adopted by the Group 

The  Group  has  adopted  all  of  the  new,  revised  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are mandatory for the current reporting 
period.  The  adoption  of  these  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  did  not  have  any  significant 
impact on the financial performance or position of the Group. 

2.2 New and revised standards that are not yet adopted by the Group 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2018) 
AASB  9  replaces  AASB  139  Financial  instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement  and  addresses  the 
classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, including a new expected credit 
loss  model  for  calculation  of  impairment  of  financial  assets,  and  new  general  hedge  accounting 
requirements.  It also carries forward guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments 
from AASB 139.   

Impairment 
The  Group  does  not  expect  the  new  standard  to  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  recognition  of 
impairment loss given the Group is at exploration stage and does not generate any revenue. 

Hedge accounting 
The Group does not apply hedge accounting hence no impact is expected.

2  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

2.2 New and revised Standards that are not yet adopted by the Group (continued) 

Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities 
The Group’s financial assets comprise mainly of cash and cash equivalents, bond receivables and other 
receivables; financial liabilities comprise mainly of trade and other payables including loan from the third 
party. As a result, the new classification requirements will have no material impact. 

The Company intends to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach which means that 
the cumulative impact of the adoption will be recognised in retained earnings as of 1 July 2018 and that 
comparatives will not be restated.  

Establishes a new revenue recognition model 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective from 1 January 2018) 
AASB  15  replaces  AASB  118  Revenue,  AASB  111  Construction  Contracts  and  some  revenue-related 
Interpretations: 
 
  Changes the basis for deciding whether revenue is to be recognised over time or at a point in time 
 

Provides  new  and  more  detailed  guidance  on  specific  topics  (e.g.,  multiple  element  arrangements, 
variable pricing, rights of return, warranties and licensing) 
Expands and improves disclosures about revenue 

 

The Group is at exploration stage and derives nil revenue for the current period, as such, no revenue will 
be  recognised.    The  new  standard  is  not  expected  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  transactions  and 
balances recognised  in the financial statements. The  Company  intends to adopt the standard  using  the 
modified  retrospective  approach  which  means  that  the  cumulative  impact  of  the  adoption  will  be 
recognised in retained earnings as of 1 July 2018 and that comparatives will not be restated. 

AASB 16 Leases (effective from 1 January 2019) 
AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases and some lease-related Interpretations: 
  Requires all leases to be accounted for ‘on-balance sheet’ by lessees, other than short-term and low 

 

value asset leases  
Provides  new  guidance  on  the  application  of  the  definition  of  lease  and  on  sale  and  lease  back 
accounting  
Largely retains the existing lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117  

 
  Requires new and different disclosures about leases 

The Group has operating lease commitments of 3 motor vehicles in Fiji and office lease in Australia (refer 
to note 13). Given the relatively low value of motor vehicle minimum lease payments and the fact that the 
current  office  lease  terminates  in  April  2019,  the  potential  impact  on  the  financial  statements  is  not 
expected  to  be  significant.  The  Company  intends  to  adopt  the  new  standard  using  the  modified 
retrospective  approach  which  means  that  the  cumulative  impact  of  the  adoption  will  be  recognised  in 
retained earnings as of 1 July 2019 and that comparatives will not be restated.   

In addition to the AASB 9, AASB 15 and AASB 16 discussed above, a number of additional amendments 
have also been issued but are not effective for the current year end, which will be applicable to the Group, 
but  are  unlikely  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  financial  statements,  based  on  management’s  initial 
consideration.

3  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

3.1 Overall considerations 

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these consolidated financial 
statements are summarised below. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  using  the  measurement  bases  specified  by 
Australian Accounting Standards for each type of asset, liability, income and expense.  The measurement 
bases are more fully described in the accounting policies below. 

3.2 Basis of consolidation  

The  Group  financial  statements  consolidate  those  of  the  parent  company  and  all  of  its  subsidiary 
undertakings drawn up to 30 June 2018. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to 
variable returns from its investment with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through 
its power over the subsidiary. 

All  transactions  and  balances  between  Group  companies  are  eliminated  on  consolidation,  including 
unrealised  gains  and  losses  on  transactions  between  Group  companies.    Where  unrealised  losses  on 
intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment 
from  a  group  perspective.    Amounts  reported  in  the  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  have  been 
adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.  

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period 
are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.  

3.3 Business combination 

The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. 

The consideration transferred  by the Group to obtain  control of a subsidiary  is calculated as the sum of 
the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by 
the  Group,  which  includes  the  fair  value  of  any  asset  or  liability  arising  from  a  contingent  consideration 
arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. 

The  Group  recognises  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  in  a  business  combination 
regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree’s financial statements prior to 
the acquisition.  Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured  at their acquisition-date 
fair values. 

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess 
of the sum of (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree  and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing  equity interest in the acquiree, 
over the  acquisition-date  fair values of identifiable net assets.  If  the fair values of identifiable  net  assets 
exceed the sum calculated above, the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in 
profit or loss immediately. 

3.4 Basis of measurement 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

3    SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

3.5 Foreign currency transactions and balances 

Functional and presentation currency  
The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars  (AUD),  which  is  also  the 
functional currency of the parent company.  

Foreign currency transactions and balances 
Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the  functional  currency  of  the  respective  Group  entity, 
using  the  exchange  rates  prevailing  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions  (spot  exchange  rate).    Foreign 
exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the  re-
measurement of monetary items at period end exchange rates are recognised in profit or loss. 

Non-monetary  items  are  not  retranslated  at  period-end  and  are  measured  at  historical  cost  (translated 
using the exchange rates at the date of the transactions), except for non-monetary items measured at fair 
value which are translated using the change rates at the date when fair value was determined. 

Foreign operations  
In  the  Group's  financial  statements,  all  assets,  liabilities  and  transactions  of  Group  entities  with  a 
functional  currency  other  than  the  AUD  are  translated  into  AUD  upon  consolidation.  The  functional 
currency of the entities in the Group has remained unchanged during the reporting period.  

On consolidation, assets and liabilities have been translated into AUD at the closing rate at the reporting 
date.  Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity have been treated 
as  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  foreign  entity  and  translated  into  AUD  at  the  closing  rate.  Income  and 
expenses  have  been  translated  into  AUD  at  the  average  rate  over  the  reporting  period.    Exchange 
differences  are  charged/credited  to  other  comprehensive  income  and  recognised  in  the  currency 
translation  reserve  in  equity.      On  disposal  of  a  foreign  operation  the  cumulative  translation  differences 
recognised  in  equity  are  reclassified  to  profit  or  loss  and  recognised  as  part  of  the  gain  or  loss  on 
disposal.  

3.6 Segment Reporting 

Determination and presentation of operating segments 
The  Group  determines  and  presents  operating  segments  based  on  the  information  that  is  provided 
internally to the management. 

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may 
earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any 
of the Group’s other components.  All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the 
Group’s management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its 
performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. 

Segment results that are reported to the management include items directly attributable to a segment as 
well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.  Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate 
assets  (primarily  the  Company’s  headquarter),  head  office  expenses,  and  income  tax  assets  and 
liabilities. 

Segment  capital  expenditure  is  the  total  costs  incurred  during  the  period  to  acquire  property,  plant  and 
equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.

3  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

3.7 Exploration and evaluation expenditure 

Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration 
and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis.   

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

 

the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the 
area of interest; or 

  activities  in  the  area  of  interest  have  not  at  the  reporting  date,  reached  a  stage  which  permits  a 
reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or  otherwise  of  economically  recoverable  reserves  and 
active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. 

Exploration  and  evaluation  assets  are  assessed  for  impairment  if  sufficient  data  exists  to  determine 
technical  feasibility  and  commercial  viability  and  facts  and  circumstances  suggest  that  the  carrying 
amount  exceeds  the  recoverable  amount.    For  the  purposes  of  impairment  testing,  exploration  and 
evaluation  assets  are  allocated  to  cash  generating  units  to  which  the  exploration  activity  relates.    The 
cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest. 

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of 
interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation  assets attributable to that  area of interest are first 
tested  for  impairment  and  then  reclassified  from  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  to  mining 
property and development assets within property, plant and equipment. 

3.8 Property, plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment and computer equipment 
Plant and equipment (comprising fittings and furniture) and computer equipment are initially recognised at 
acquisition  cost  or  manufacturing  cost,  including  any  costs  directly  attributable  to  bringing  the  assets  to 
the  location  and  condition  necessary  for  it  to  be  capable  of  operating  in  the  manner  intended  by  the 
Group’s management.   

Plant  and  equipment  and  computer  equipment  are  measured  on  the  cost  basis  less  subsequent 
depreciation and impairment losses. 

Depreciation 
The  depreciable amount  of  all fixed  assets is recognised  on a straight-line  basis to  write  down the cost 
over the assets' estimated useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is ready for use. 

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

Class of fixed asset 

Useful Lives  Depreciation basis 

Exploration computer equipment 

2.5-4.2 years 

Prime cost 

Exploration furniture and fittings 

3-8.3 years 

Exploration plant and equipment 

2.5-8.3 years 

Office equipment 

2-10 years 

Prime cost 

Prime cost 

Prime cost 

Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference 
between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in profit or loss 
within other income or other expenses.

3  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

3.9 Leased assets 

Operating leases 
All other leases are treated as operating leases.  Where the Group is a lessee, payments on operating 
lease agreements are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Associated 
costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred. 

3.10 Income tax 

The  charge  for  current  income  tax  expense  is  based  on  the  profit  for  the  period  adjusted  for  any  non-
assessable  or  disallowed  items.    It  is  calculated  using  tax  rates  that  have  been  enacted  or  are 
substantively enacted by the date of the statement of financial position. 

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences 
arising  between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  in  the  financial 
statements.  No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, 
excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred  tax  is  calculated  at  the  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  apply  to  the  period  when  the  asset  is 
realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited  in the  income statement except  where it relates to 
items recognised directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. 

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the  extent that it  is probable that future tax profits  will be 
available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. 

The  amount  of  benefits  brought  to  account  or  which  may  be  realised  in  the  future  is  based  on  the 
assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the 
economic  entity  will  derive  sufficient  future  assessable  income  to  enable  the  benefit  to  be  realised  and 
comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. 

3.11 Revenue  

Interest income is reported on an accruals basis using the effective interest method. 

Refundable research and development costs are reported as a government grant through other income. 

3.12 Goods and services tax (GST)  

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  exclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST,  except  where  the 
amount  of  GST  incurred  is  not  recoverable  from  the  Australian  or  Fiji  Taxation  Office.  In  these 
circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item 
of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. 

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of 
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 

3.13 Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with a maturity of three months or 
less.

3  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

3.14 Financial instruments 

Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when  the  Group  becomes  a  party  to  the 
contractual  provisions  of  the  financial  instrument,  and  are  measured  initially  at  fair  value  adjusted  by 
transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially 
at fair value.  Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below. 

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset 
expire,  or  when  the  financial  asset  and  all  substantial  risks  and  rewards  are  transferred.    A  financial 
liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. 

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets 
Financial  assets  in  the  scope  of  AASB  139  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement  are 
classified  as  either  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  loans  and  receivables,  held-to-
maturity  investments,  or  available-for-sale  investments,  as  appropriate.    The  Group  determines  the 
classification  of  its  financial  assets  after  initial  recognition  and,  when  allowed  and  appropriate,  re-
evaluates this designation at each financial period end.   

Loans and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that  
are not quoted in an active market.  After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using 
the  effective  interest  method,  less  provision  for  impairment.    Discounting  is  omitted  where  the  effect  of 
discounting is immaterial.  The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall 
into this category of financial instruments. 

Individually significant receivables are considered for impairment when they are  past due or when other 
objective  evidence  is  received  that  a  specific  counterparty  will  default.    Receivables  that  are  not 
considered  to  be  individually  impaired  are  reviewed  for  impairment  in  groups,  which  are  determined  by 
reference  to  the  industry  and  region  of  a  counterparty  and  other  credit  risk  characteristics.    The 
impairment loss estimate is then based on recent historical counterparty default rates for each identified 
group. 

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities 
The  Group’s  financial  liabilities  include  borrowings  and  trade  and  other  payables,  which  are  measured 
subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.   

Trade and other payables, including accruals for goods received but not yet billed, are recognised when 
the Group becomes obliged to make future payments principally as a result of the purchase or goods and 
services. 

Trade  payables  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value,  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost, 
using the effective interest rate method.

3  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

3.15 Significant accounting judgments and key estimates 

The  preparation  of  financial  reports  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and 
assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of  accounting  policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets, 
liabilities, income and expense.  Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on 
management’s experience and other factor, including expectations of future events that are believed to be 
reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  However,  actual  outcomes  would  differ  from  these  estimates  if 
different assumptions were used and different conditions existed. 

In  particular,  the  Group  has  identified  the  following  areas  where  significant  judgements,  estimates  and 
assumptions  are  required,  and  where  actual  results  were  to  differ,  may  materially  affect  the  financial 
position or financial results reported in future periods.  

(i)  Exploration and evaluation expenditure (Note 14) 

All capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure ($30,264,494 at 30 June 2018) (2017: $28,395,904) 
has been capitalised on the basis that: 
 

the  expenditures  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  successful  development  and  exploitation  of 
the area of interest; or 
activities  in  the  area  of  interest  have  not  at  the  reporting  date,  reached  a  stage  which  permits  a 
reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or  other  wise  of  economically  recoverable  reserves  and 
active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. 
The renewal of exploration licences is expected to be a routine process up until such a point as the 
entity is able to apply for a mining licence. As at the date of reporting, all licences have been renewed 
and are up to date. 

 

 

(ii)  Going concern (Note 3.16) 
(iii)  Share-based payments (Note 3.20) 

3.16 Going concern  

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates 
the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

The  Group  has  incurred  a  trading  loss  of  $1,704,321  (2017:  $1,596,892),  used  $3,231,434  (2017: 
$2,251,350) of net cash in operations including payments for exploration during the year ended 30 June 
2018, and has a cash balance of $1,004,930 at 30 June 2018 (2017: $1,182,258). These conditions give 
rise  to  a  material  uncertainty  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  upon  the  Group's  ability  to  continue  as  a 
going concern. The ongoing operation of the Group is dependent upon: 

         the Group raising additional funding from shareholders or other parties; and/or 
         the Group reducing expenditure in-line with available funding. 

The Directors have prepared cash flow projections that support the ability of the Group to continue as a 
going concern.  These cash flow projections assume the Group obtains sufficient additional funding from 
shareholders  or  other  parties.  If  such  funding  is  not  achieved,  the  Group  plans  to  reduce  expenditures 
significantly. 

In  the  event  that  the  Group  does  not  obtain  additional  funding  and/or  reduce  expenditure  in-line  with 
available funding, it may not be able to continue its operations as a going concern and therefore may not 
be  able  to  realise  its  assets  and  extinguish  its  liabilities  in  the  ordinary  course  of  operations  and  at  the 
amounts stated in the financial report.

3  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

3.17 Impairment testing of non-current assets  

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely 
independent  cash  inflows  (cash-generating  units).    As  a  result,  some  assets  are  tested  individually  for 
impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.   

All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes 
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit's carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-
use.  To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-
generating  unit  and  determines  a  suitable  interest  rate  in  order  to  calculate  the  present  value  of  those 
cash  flows.    The  data  used  for  impairment  testing  procedures  are  directly  linked  to  the  Group's  latest 
approved  budget,  adjusted  as  necessary  to  exclude  the  effects  of  future  reorganisations  and  asset 
enhancements.    Discount  factors  are  determined  individually  for  each  cash-generating  unit  and  reflect 
management’s assessment of respective risk profiles, such as market and asset-specific risks factors.   

With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment 
loss previously recognised may no longer exist.  An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-generating 
unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.   

3.18 Equity and reserves 

Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued.  Any transaction costs associated 
with the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits.   

Other components of equity include the following:  

 

 

Foreign currency translation reserve – comprises foreign currency translation differences arising on 
the translation of financial statements of the Group's foreign entities into AUD; and 
Share option reserve – comprises fair value of options granted to the Company’s Directors and  
contractor; and 

  Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained losses. 

3.19 Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 
Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled 
wholly  within  twelve  (12)  months  after  the  end  of  the  period  in  which  the  employees  render  the  related 
service.  Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating 
sick  leave.    Short-term  employee  benefits  are  measured  at  the  undiscounted  amounts  expected  to  be 
paid when the liabilities are settled.

3  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

3.19 Employee benefits (continued) 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The Group’s liabilities for annual leave are included in other long term benefits as they are not expected 
to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render 
the related service.  They are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made 
to  employees.    The  expected  future  payments  incorporate  anticipated  future  wage  and  salary  levels, 
experience  of  employee  departures  and  periods  of  service,  and  are  discounted  at  rates  determined  by 
reference  to  market  yields  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  on  high  quality  corporate  bonds  that  have 
maturity dates that approximate the timing of the estimated future cash outflows.  Any re-measurements 
arising  from  experience  adjustments and  changes in  assumptions are recognised  in profit  or  loss  in the 
periods in which the changes occur. 

The  Group  presents  employee  benefit  obligations  as  current  liabilities  in  the  statement  of  financial 
position  if  the  Group  does  not  have  an  unconditional  right  to  defer  settlement  for  at  least  twelve  (12) 
months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place.  

3.20 Share-based payments 

The Group operates equity-settled share-based remuneration plans for its Directors and contractor. None 
of the Group’s plans feature any options for a cash settlement.  

All compensation or goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any share-based payment 
are  measured  at  their  fair  values.  Where  the  Company’s  Directors  and  contractor  are  rewarded  using 
share-based  payments,  the  fair  values  are  determined  indirectly  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the 
equity instruments granted. This fair value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of non-
market vesting conditions (for example profitability and sales growth targets and performance conditions).   

All  share-based  remuneration  is  ultimately  recognised  as  an  expense  in  profit  or  loss  with  a 
corresponding  credit  to  share  option  reserve.  If  vesting  periods  or  other  vesting  conditions  apply,  the 
expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share 
options expected to vest.   

Upon  exercise  of  share  options,  the  proceeds  received  net  of  any  directly  attributable  transaction  costs 
are allocated to share capital.

the process of being renewed at the date of this report.  Dome continues to retain ownership of SPL 1495 
until a decision of renewal is made, accordingly no commitments have been included above as the terms 
of the tenement license has not been formally approved. Management consider the risk of this not being 
renewed to be remote. 

Guarantees 

The Group has three bank guarantees totalling $155,077 as at 30 June 2018 (2017: $154,540).

22  SEGMENT REPORTING 

Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s management and internal reporting structure. 

Transactions with business segments are determined on an arm’s length basis. 

Segment  results,  assets  and  liabilities  include  items  directly  attributable  to  a  segment  as  well  as  those 
that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.  Unallocated items comprise mainly income earning assets 
and revenue, interest bearing loans, borrowings and expenses, and corporate assets and expenses. 

Business segments 

For the year ended 30 June 2018 the Group principally operated in Fiji in the mineral exploration sector.   

During  the  year  ended  30  June  2018  management  has  re-assessed  how  financial  information  is 
presented to the chief operating decision makers. This re-assessment is reflective of the progress being 
made in exploration activity and the need to distinguish between the Group’s ironsand and gold projects. 
The Group now has two reportable segments, as described below. Comparative financial information has 
been restated to reflect this change.

24  SHARE-BASED PAYMENT 

During the  year ended 30 June 2018, the Group had two share-based payment arrangements. Both will 
be settled in equity.  

Options  were  granted  to  non-executive  Directors  and  a  contractor  respectively  under  each  scheme  as 
part of their remuneration packages. Options were granted for no consideration and carry no dividends or 
voting  rights  when  exercised.  Options  under  both  schemes  vest  on  issue  date.  Each  option  allows  the 
holder to purchase one ordinary share at the price determined at grant date. 

Share options and weighted average exercise prices are as follows for the reporting periods presented:

The fair values of options granted were determined using a variation of the Black-Scholes option pricing 
model.  The  fair  value  is  appraised  at  the  grant  date  and  excludes  the  impact  of  non-market  vesting 
conditions.   

The following principal assumptions were used in the valuation:

The underling expected volatility was determined by reference to historical data of the Company’s shares 
over  a  period  of  time.  No  special  features  inherent  to  the  options  granted  were  incorporated  into 
measurement of fair value. 

In  total,  $103,439  (2017:  Nil)  expenses,  all  of  which  are  related  to  equity-settled  share-based  payment 
transactions, have been included in profit or loss and credited to share option reserve.

25  POST-REPORTING DATE EVENTS 

Subsequent to the end of the financial year: 

SPL 1495 Sigatoka Iron Sand Project 
The 3-year licence period expired on July  13, 2018, so notification was made to the  Mineral Resources 
Department (MRD) of the  Company’s  intention to apply for renewal  of the SPL1495 in  early  June 2018 
and  an  application  for  renewal  of  SPL1495  for  a  further  3-year  period  for  the  licence  was  submitted  to 
MRD  on  6  July  2018.  On  Wednesday  September  5,  2018  the  Director  of  the  MRD  confirmed  their  full 
support for the renewal and advised that due to new legal requirements, the Company needed to obtain a 
letter from the Public Trustee that they had no objection to the renewal. On September 7, 2018 a meeting 
was  held  with  the  Public  Trustee,  Manager  of  Estates  &  Trusts  responsible  for  five  beneficiaries  of  the 
Work  Estate  freehold  who  confirmed  her  office  supported  the  SPL1495  renewal,  and  will  immediately 
seek the consent of the five beneficiaries. Since the licence remains in force during the renewal process, 
it is planned that sonic drilling will resume in September 2018 with completion of the updated JORC 2012 
report during December 2018. 

In July 2018, the Company sought expressions of interest for completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study 
(DFS)  from  five  major  engineering  firms  with  experience  in  heavy  mineral  sand  deposit  mining  and 
processing operations. One international group, IHC Robbins, an affiliate of Royal IHC of the Netherlands 
(IHC), agreed to enter into a Heads of Agreement with Dome and undertake the DFS as the first part of a 
developing strategic relationship between the companies.  

SPL 1451 Ono Island Project 
Assays  for  all  holes  ONODDH001  to  ONODDH007  were  carried  out  by  ALS  Laboratories.  Drill  hole 
ONODDH001  (Naqara  East),  returned  anomalous  copper  assays  (to  0.3%  Cu)  and  anomalous 
molybdenum assays (to 0.2% Mo). The best Mo intercept is 5.05 m @ 0.0643% (643 ppm Mo), from 323 
to  328.05  m.  This  intercept  comprises  5  contiguous  one  metre  samples  ranging  from  110  ppm  to  2040 
ppm Mo.  

The  gold-silver  assay  results  are  slightly  anomalous  within  areas  of  strong  alteration  and  sulphide 
mineralisation, but are  well below economic levels, with maximum assay values of 0.036 g/t  Au and 3.6 
g/t Ag. 

The elevated Cu and Mo and weakly anomalous Au and Ag indicates a metal-bearing epithermal system 
is present at Naqara East, and that further exploration drilling could define gold mineralisation nearby.  

In  summary,  a  large  sulphide-bearing  system  weakly  anomalous  in  several  metals  has  been  defined  at 
Naqara  East prospect on  Ono Island, SPL 1451. This system has many similarities to other Pacific Rim 
gold-copper  deposits.  The  strong  epithermal  alteration,  sulphide  mineralisation,  elevated  Cu-Mo  and 
weakly  anomalous  Au-Ag  in  drill  core  samples  is  encouraging.  Additional  systematic  drilling  is 
recommended to discover anomalous gold zones within these large sulphide bodies. 

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the  year that have significantly affected 
or  may  significantly  affect  the  operations  of  the  Group,  the  results  of  those  operations,  or  the  state  of 
affairs of the Group in future financial years.

27.1 Risk management objectives and policies 
The  Group is exposed to  various risks  in  relation  to  financial instruments.   The Group's financial assets 
and liabilities by category are summarised in note 3.14. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk 
and liquidity risk.  

The  Group's  risk  management  is  coordinated  by  management,  in  close  co-operation  with  the  board  of 
directors,  and  focuses  on  actively  securing  the  Group's  short  to  medium  term  cash  flows  by  minimising 
the exposure to financial markets.  

The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it 
write options.  The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.  

The Group is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency 
risk and certain other price risks, which result from both its operating and investing activities.  

27.2 Market risk analysis 
The Group is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency 
risk,  interest  rate  risk  and  certain  other  price  risks,  which  result  from  both  its  operating  and  investing 
activities. 

Foreign currency sensitivity 
Most  of  the  Group's  transactions  are  carried  out  in  AUD.    Exposures  to  currency  exchange  rates  arise 
from  the  Group's  overseas  purchases,  which  are  primarily  denominated  in  Fijian  dollars  (FJD).    To 
mitigate the Group's exposure to foreign currency risk, non-AUD cash flows are monitored.  

The  following  table  illustrates  the  sensitivity  of  profit  in  regards  to  the  Group's  financial  assets  and 
financial  liabilities  and  the  AUD/FJD  exchange  rate  'all  other  things  being  equal'.    It  assumes  a  +/-  5% 
change  of  the  AUD/FJD  exchange  rate  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2018.    This  percentage  has  been 
determined  based  on  the  average  market  volatility  in  exchange  rates  in  the  previous  12  months.    The 
sensitivity analysis is based on the Group's foreign currency financial instruments held at each reporting 
date and also takes into account forward exchange contracts that offset effects from changes in currency 
exchange rates.  

If the AUD had strengthened against the FJD by 5% (2017: 5%) then this  would have had the following 
impact:

27.2 Market risk analysis (continued) 
If  the  AUD  had  weakened  against  the  FJD  by  5%  (2017:  5%)  then  this  would  have  had  the  following 
impact:

(168,726) 

Exposures  to  foreign  exchange  rates  vary  during  the  year  depending  on  the  volume  of  overseas 
transactions.    Nonetheless,  the  analysis  above  is  considered  to  be  representative  of  the  Group's 
exposure to currency risk. 

Interest rate sensitivity 
Interest risk arises from the use of interest bearing financial instruments.  It is the risk that the fair value or 
future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate 
risk). 

The  Group's  policy  is  to  minimise  interest  rate  cash  flow  risk  exposures  on  financing.    Borrowings  are 
therefore usually at fixed rates.  At 30 June 2018, the Group is not exposed to changes in market interest 
rates through borrowings as all borrowings are at fixed interest rates.    

At 30 June 2018, the Group’s exposure to cash flow interest relates primarily to cash at bank of the Group 
which bears floating rates. The Group is considering investing surplus cash in long term deposits at fixed 
rates in the future. 

As at the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following floating financial instruments:

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a 0.5% change in interest rates, with all other variables 
held  constant,  of  the  Group’s  profit  (through  the  impact  on  floating  rate  financial  assets  and  financial 
liabilities).

27  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK (CONTINUED) 

27.3 Credit risk analysis 
Credit  risk  is  the  risk  that  a  counterparty  fails  to  discharge  an  obligation  to  the  Group.    The  Group  is 
exposed  to  this  risk  for  various  financial  instruments,  for  example  by  receivables  from  other  parties, 
placing deposits etc.   The Group's maximum  exposure to  credit  risk is  limited to the  carrying  amount of 
financial assets recognised at the reporting date, as summarised below: 

Classes of financial assets -  
Carrying amounts: 
Cash and cash equivalents 
Trade and other receivables 
Bank guarantee deposit 
Bond deposit 
Carrying amount 

2018 
$ 

2017 
$ 

1,004,930 
51,384 
114,543 
98,324 
1,269,181 

1,182,258 
40,609 
114,543 
96,356 
1,433,766 

The  Group  continuously  monitors  defaults  of  other  counterparties,  identified  either  individually  or  by 
group, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls.  Where available at reasonable cost, 
external credit ratings and/or reports on other counterparties are obtained and used.  The Group's policy 
is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. 

The Group's management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due 
for  each  of  the  reporting  dates  under  review  are  of  good  credit  quality.    The  Group  currently  has  no 
receivables from trading therefore is not exposed to credit risk in relation to trade receivables. 

None of the Group's financial assets are secured by collateral or other credit enhancements. 

The  credit risk for  cash and  cash equivalents,  bank guarantee  deposit,  bond deposit  and tax refunds  is 
considered  negligible,  since  the  counterparties  are  reputable  banks  and  government  body  with  high 
quality external credit ratings. 

27.4 Liquidity risk analysis 
Liquidity risk is that the Group might be unable to meet its obligations.  The Group manages its liquidity 
needs  by  monitoring  scheduled  debt  servicing  payments  for  financial  liabilities  as  well  as  forecast  cash 
inflows  and  outflows  due  in  day-to-day  business.    The  data  used  for  analysing  these  cash  flows  is 
consistent  with  that  used  in  the  contractual  maturity  analysis  below.  Liquidity  needs  are  monitored  in 
various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day 
projection.  Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day and a 360-day lookout period are identified monthly.  
Net cash requirements are compared to available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or 
any  shortfalls.   This  analysis shows  that  available  borrowing  facilities are expected to  be sufficient  over 
the lookout period. 

The Group's objective is to maintain cash and marketable securities to meet its liquidity requirements for 
90-day  periods at a minimum.   This objective  was met for the reporting  periods.   Funding for long-term 
liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

28  CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT  

Our objective of capital risk management is to manage capital and safeguard our ability to continue as a 
going  concern,  and  to  generate  returns  for  shareholders.  The  Group  manages  its  risk  exposure  of  its 
financial instruments in accordance with the guidance of the Board of Directors.  The Group uses different 
methods to manage and minimise its exposure to risks.  These include monitoring levels of interest rates 
fluctuations to maximise the return of bank balances and the flexing of the gearing ratios. Liquidity risk is 
monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts. 

The final approval and monitoring of any of these policies is done by the Board which review and agrees 
on the policies for managing risks. 

The primary responsibility to monitor the financial risks lies with the Directors and the Company Secretary 
under the authority of the Board.  The Board approved policies for managing risks including the setting up 
of approval limits for purchases and monitoring projections of future cash flows.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Members of Dome Gold Mines Limited  

Report on the audit of the financial report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Dome Gold Mines Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which

and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows 
for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and 
the Directors’ declaration.  

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

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

ended on that date; and  

b  Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are 
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are 
independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and 
the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants (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 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 3.16 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $1,704,321 
during the year ended 30 June 2018, and used $3,231,434 of net cash in operations including payments for exploration. As 
stated in Note 3.16, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3.16, indicate that a material 
uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in 
respect of this matter. 

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

Key audit matter  
Exploration and Evaluation Assets – valuation  
Note 3 and 14  
At 30 June 2018 the carrying value of Exploration and Evaluation 
Assets was $30,264,494. 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter  

Our procedures included, amongst others:  
  Obtaining the management prepared reconciliation of 

In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of 
Mineral Resources, the company is required to assess at each 
reporting date if there are any triggers for impairment which may 
suggest the carrying value is in excess of the recoverable value.  

 

 

There are a number of assumptions made when assessing the 
recoverability of capitalised costs many times it is hinged upon the 
future success of projects.  

This area is a key audit matter due to the inherent subjectivity that 
is involved in the Group making judgements in relation to the 
evaluation for any impairment indicators, in accordance with AASB 
6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources.  

capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure and 
agreeing to the general ledger;  
Reviewing management’s area of interest considerations 
against AASB 6;  
Conducting a detailed review of management’s assessment of 
trigger events prepared in accordance with AASB 6 including;  
- 

Tracing projects to statutory registers, exploration 
licenses and third party confirmations to determine 
whether a right of tenure existed;  
Enquiry of management regarding their intentions to carry 
out exploration and evaluation activity in the relevant 
exploration area, including review of managements’ 
budgeted expenditure;  
Understanding whether any data exists to suggest that 
the carrying value of these exploration and evaluation 
assets are unlikely to be recovered through development 
or sale;  

- 

- 

 

Reviewing the appropriateness of the related disclosures 
within the financial statements. 

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the 
Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report 
thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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 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, 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.  

Responsibilities of the Directors’ for the financial report  
The Directors of the Group 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  

61 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the 
Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance 
Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our 
auditor’s report. 

Report on the remuneration report 

Opinion on the remuneration report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 21 to 24 of the Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June

section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

The Directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance
