Over the past twelve months the principal focus of Dome’s activities has been the Sigatoka Ironsand Project, where the signing of a contract with Brisbane-based IHC Robbins in December, 2018, has led to the commencement of a definitive feasibility study for development of Sigatoka as a multi-product sand mining operation. The definitive feasibility study (“DFS”) is being conducted in stages, with the results of each stage guiding the emphasis of the work that follows. To begin with, three bulk samples of sand from Sigatoka, each amounting to about 850kg, were collected in the field and then shipped to IHC Robbins’ facilities in Brisbane. These three samples came respectively from the Sigatoka River, the foreshore and the Koroua Island resource areas. At IHC Robbins each sample in turn was subjected to a systematic pilot plant metallurgical test work programme, aimed at identifying the main constituents and their variability cross the different resource areas, while assessing the potential to produce commercial products from that material. At the same time, various options for future development were considered, including the optimal scale of production, the suitability of different mining methods and the possible economics of each case. Results from this work to date have been most encouraging. The main constituents of each sample are quartz and acid igneous lithic fragments, with subordinate basic igneous fragments and sedimentary rock fragments. There is some variation in the proportions of these components between river, foreshore and island sources but not so much as to require different processing methods. Deleterious components are minimal or absent and the slime content is low in each case. Importantly, it is becoming clear that the application of a simple sand processing flowsheet, involving washing, size grading, gravity and magnetic separation, is able to generate commercial grade products. These include magnetite (iron ore), as well as high quality industrial sand and gravel products that would comply with Australian standards. In particular, each processed sand product meets Australian standards for fine aggregate in terms of particle size and alkali-silica reactivity. Together these products seem capable of forming the basis of a sand mining operation that would have robust economics and continue for a long period. The DFS work so far has indicated that the best development option is likely to involve staged development, beginning with sand mining in the foreshore area using specialised sand pumps, such as those manufactured by IHC Robbins’ parent company, Royal IHC of The Netherlands. This approach would minimise initial capital requirements, have a low environmental impact and lead to rapid generation of significant cash flow. The products from such an operation would include a magnetite concentrate for export and substantial quantities of industrial sand for which there is a ready market in Fiji. The relative quantities of these and other possible products will be determined more precisely as the DFS continues and will be driven by the actual make-up of the resource that is mined in the first operational stage. Dome has identified a strong demand for industrial sand in other parts of the Pacific Basin, especially in Asia, and we believe that our product would easily meet the quality requirements of those markets. The expectation, therefore, is that the Sigatoka project would expand production fairly rapidly as those export markets are captured and regular supply lines are set up. This could lead to a trebling of initial production within three years of commencement of mining, with commensurate increase in the cash flow generated and an increase in profit margins as economies of scale are realised. Substantial DFS work remains to be done, including defining the process flowsheet in detail, specifying and selecting the equipment needed for mining and processing, site planning and establishing personnel requirements. The existing environmental study will also need to be updated and fine-tuned to the specifics of the proposed mining operation. That work will take another six to nine months and we must be patient as these critical, behind-the-scene studies are carried out. 1 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Chairman’s Message Elsewhere, Dome’s exploration activities in Fiji over the past year have been low-key, recognising the importance of advancing our flagship project at Sigatoka as rapidly as possible. At Nadrau, a substantial quantity of valuable data from past exploration activity by other companies has been identified, analysed and compiled into our exiting database. Those earlier results strongly support our belief in the potential for discovery of a major copper-gold deposit, of porphyry type, in this area. Further work at Nadrau will take place in the coming year but the project is unlikely to see major exploration activity until Sigatoka is in production and generating a healthy cash flow. Similarly, the attractive gold exploration targets at Ono Island will see only minimal activity while Sigatoka feasibility and development are underway. The Dome Board has continued to function effectively throughout the year and I thank my fellow directors, Mr Tadao Tsubata and Ms Sarah Harvey, for their commitment and wise counsel. Mr Tsubata forms a critical link to our Japanese shareholders and he has spent a great deal of time keeping these important stakeholders informed of our progress. I am particularly grateful to him for this valuable role and it has been my pleasure to join Mr Tsubata in meeting and greeting some of these shareholders during short visits I have made to Tokyo in the period. Finally, I would like to thank the staff and contractors of Dome, who have continued to serve the company with loyalty and belief in our future. Mr Jack McCarthy, who retired as Chief Executive Officer at the end of May, 2019, has provided strong leadership and firm control of our programme. I wish him well in his retirement. Dr Matthew White has been appointed as exploration manager for Dome on a contractual basis and has very successfully led our team in the field. Ms Jean White has once again been effective in her role of community liaison in Fiji. These key operatives have been well supported by a small group of administrative staff in Sydney and by a very effective team in Fiji. Dome is on the cusp of major growth as the DFS continues and leads to the expected development of mining at Sigatoka. I join all other shareholders in looking forward with keen anticipation to the realisation of the economic potential we have painstakingly identified over the past several years in Fiji. G. G. LOWDER Chairman 2 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report The Directors of Dome Gold Mines Ltd present their report, together with the financial statements of the consolidated entity, being Dome Gold Mines Ltd ('Dome' or 'the Company') and its controlled entities (‘the Group’) for the financial year ended 30 June 2019. DIRECTORS’ DETAILS The following persons were Directors of Dome during or since the end of the financial year. Dr Garry Lowder Bachelor of Science with 1st Class Honours in Geology (University of Sydney) Doctor of Philosophy (University of California, Berkeley) Advanced Management Program (Harvard University) Fellow, Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Member, Australian Institute of Company Directors Chairman Independent Non-Executive Director Member of Audit Committee Director since 1 March 2012 Dr Garry Lowder is a geologist who has spent over 45 years in the Australian and international mining industries. As an exploration geologist, Garry has worked in Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, playing key roles in the discovery of several mineral deposits, including the Northparkes copper, Cowal gold and Conrad silver deposits in NSW, the Paddington gold and Wodgina tantalum deposits in WA and the North Sulawesi porphyry copper deposits in Indonesia. Over the past 30 years Garry has held senior management positions with Australian mining companies and also spent four years in government as Director General of Mineral Resources in NSW. In 1997 he founded Malachite Resources Limited, listing it on the ASX (MAR) in 2002 and retiring as managing director late in 2011; he retired from the position of non-executive Chairman of Malachite at the end of November, 2012. Garry was also an independent, non-executive director (and for three years, chairman) of ASX- listed Straits Resources Limited from 1997 until he retired from that Board in mid-2011.

No significant changes in the nature of these activities occurred during the year. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS Projects Dome, through its wholly owned Fijian subsidiaries, Dome Mines Ltd and Magma Mines Ltd holds 100% of three Special Prospecting Licences (SPL) in Fiji, namely, SPL1495 (Sigatoka Iron Sand Project), SPL1451 (Ono Island Project) and SPL1452 (Nadrau Project) (see Figure 1). Figure 1 – Dome Gold Mine’s Fiji project location map SPL 1495 Sigatoka Iron Sand Project  Special Prospecting Licence (SPL) 1495 was renewed for a further 3-year period on February 11, 2019  This tenement of 2,522.69ha is located on the south coast of Viti Levu and covers the plains at  the mouth of the Sigatoka River, the river itself and an area offshore. It is Dome’s most advanced project, with a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) commenced by IHC Robbins in December 2018 to support an application for a Mining Lease. An Environmental Impact Assessment report produced December 2014 will also be updated during the DFS.  Pre-feasibility Study report completed early 2015.  An Initial JORC 2012 resource estimate was published in October 2014.  An update of the initial JORC 2012 resource estimates will be produced during 2019 following completion of sonic drill programs on parts of the deposit not drilled previously.  A report by IHC Robbins on pilot plant scale metallurgical test programs on 3 x 850kg samples was completed in June 2019. 5 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report  The pilot plant produced titano-magnetite with between 56.9 and 57.9% Fe, 6.5 and 6.6% Ti and 0.4% V.  Washed sand also produced in the pilot plant meets Australian Standards for construction sand. Figure 2 – Special Prospecting Licence (SPL) 1495 map showing extent of sand deposit 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 Figures 2 & Table 1). The 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. The Resource consists of lithic fragments and quartz rich sand containing detrital titano-magnetite and other heavy minerals. The deposit formed in a coastal environment over an extended period of geological time. 6 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report Table 1 – Details of the Initial JORC 2012 resource estimates based on analytical analyses of sonic drill core samples from the Sigatoka Deposit. In addition to titano-magnetite concentrate, sand and gravel suitable for construction or land reclamation uses are also expected to be produced during processing. A shortage of construction sand is an emerging issue in Fiji as restrictions on upland river mining are being enforced. During 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 deposits 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. Figure 3 – Koroua Island sonic drill holes completed in 2017, a part of the deposit that is not yet included in the JORC 2012 resource estimates. 7 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report Figure 4 – Geological cross section central Koroua Island showing thickness and continuity of sand and gravel deposit. On July 30, 2018 Dome announced that a binding Heads of Agreement (“HoA”) had been entered into between Dome and IHC Robbins, a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal IHC of the Netherlands (“IHC”). The HoA establishes a strategic relationship between Dome and IHC that will initially involve completion of a DFS on the Sigatoka Iron Sand project. Assuming the DFS concludes that mining is viable, IHC will, subject to documentation at the time, assume the role of Engineering, Procurement and Construction manager. IHC is a major international corporation that has been in the marine vessel and dredge building industry since the mid-17th century and has “in-depth expertise in the engineering and manufacture of high-performance integrated vessels and equipment”, particularly for use in sensitive marine environments. Importantly to Dome and its wholly owned subsidiary Magma Mines Ltd., which holds title at Sigatoka, IHC is committed to social responsibility and environmental accountability in every aspect of its operations and ensures their principles apply to suppliers, sub-contractors and society as a whole. In the first phase of the DFS, three bulk samples were prepared from retained half drill core stored onsite at Sigatoka. The samples, of approximately 850 kilograms each, represented the river bed, the southern part of Koroua Island and the foreshore sand deposits. They were processed in pilot plant scale mineral processing equipment (see Plates 1, 2 and 3 below) to produce titano-magnetite, washed sand and gravel. Test work has progressed well producing results that are similar to those obtained during earlier laboratory analysis of half-core samples. The preliminary results indicate that a simple process, combining gravity and magnetic separation methods, can efficiently recover magnetite and washed sand and gravel as commercial products. An analysis of development options has identified a staged development program as the best approach and this option will undergo detailed engineering and costing studies in the next phase of the DFS. The metallurgical pilot test work included a series of steps (see Plates 1 – 3). These included: 1. Feed Characterisation Stage (preparation of a representative head sample) 2. Feed Preparation Process (sample screening plus sand analyses) 3. Wet Concentration Process (spiral and table tests to produce heavy mineral concentrates, plus sand and heavy mineral concentrate analyses) 4. Concentrate Upgrade Process (low intensity magnetic separator tests, plus sand and heavy mineral concentrate analyses) 8 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report 5. Construction Sand Process (up current classifier and screening optimisation tests as well as sand analyses) The final report on results from the metallurgical pilot test program completed by IHC Robbins was delivered to Dome on June 12, 2019. This report has been reviewed by Dome’s Staff and Consultants, and further evaluation of the results is on-going. The report concluded based on the test results that a simple sand washing process flowsheet will produce: 1. Titano-magnetite concentrate; and 2. Construction sand and gravel products that comply with Australian standards. The development process combines gravity and magnetic separation methods, which can efficiently recover magnetite and washed construction sand (plus minor gravel), as commercial products for export and sale to local Fiji markets.

Plate 3 – Titano-magnetite from Sigatoka bulk samples being recovered in a Low Intensity Magnetic Separator test (LIMS). A project development options study was also completed by IHC Robbins over the last 2 quarters. This study has identified that the most favourable development approach at Sigatoka is a multi-stage strategy with on-land mining as a first stage. This development strategy will undergo more detailed evaluation, engineering studies and detailed costing analysis, during the next phase of the DFS. 10 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report 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. SPL 1451 Ono Island Project • SPL1451 was renewed for a three-year period on February 12, 2017. • 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. • Further review of all data and 3-D modelling of exploration results to date will 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). 11 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report 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. The area had previously been covered by soil sampling and geological mapping campaigns that identified intense argillic alteration and zones of silicification and anomalous geochemistry. locations of Figures 6 & 7 – Plots of the chargeability (top) and resistivity responses at an apparent depth of 250m with the outline of the argillic (hatch) and silicification (red) superimposed as well as locations recommended for exploration drilling. 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. 12 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report 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). 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 the Table below.

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. Holes were designed to test the strongest IP chargeability anomalies at depth. (see Figure 8). These IP chargeability anomalies lie directly below IP resistivity anomalies (see Figure 9). 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 Plate 4, 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. 13 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report Figure 8 – IP chargeability cross-section, section showing the trace of drill holes ONODDH001 and 7. These holes tested the high chargeability anomalies (red/purple zones) in the lower part of the hole. Figure 9 – IP resistivity cross-section, section showing the trace of drill holes ONODDH001 and 7. 14 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report Plate 4 – Altered and mineralized volcanic host rock with up to 7% metallic sulphide in drill hole ONODDH007, HQ core from 355.5 m depth - Ono Island Project, Fiji 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, 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 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. Rehabilitation, Community Work and Safety A comprehensive rehabilitation program was completed as part of the drill program. The key outcomes from this work are summarised below. Access track preparation was carried out by a 12 tonne Hitachi excavator mobilised from Suva. Pre- existing historical tracks through the Pine Forests were re-established (total of 2812 m), and new tracks to the drill pads were also constructed (total of 2967 m). Many of these access roads were left open at the end of the program as they will help Naqara Village to remove pine logs to the saw mill in the village. The excavator and a number of casual workers from Naqara were used to carry out rehabilitation on all drill pads and along drill tracks. The sumps were filled back in and all rubbish was removed after 15 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report drilling. The collar for each hole was capped with a cement block, with the hole name labelled into the cement. Pine trees and grasses were planted on the drill pads and access tracks areas. Two weeks were spent completing the rehabilitation work associated with the program. Just one week after planting, the pine trees and grasses had already started growing back. Compensation payments for land disturbance were paid directly to the Landowners, Lease Holders and Lands Department. The Pine assessment fees were paid to Forestry Department in Nausori. A number of community projects were also supported by Dome during the drilling program including:  Completion of the new Naqara School Dormitory.  Demolish old school building.  Clearing house pads.  Digging rubbish dumps and toilet sumps.  Deepening Naqara creek and repairing the seawall at the shoreline. The drilling program was completed safely without any lost-time incidents. Prior to departure the villages on Ono were visited to let the local people know that this phase of the exploration program had concluded and to thank them for their assistance and cooperation. SPL 1452 Nadrau Project • The 2-year term of SPL1452 expired on February 13, 2019 and an application for a further renewal was submitted on February 11, 2019. SPL 1452 was renewed for a further 3-year period on September 12, 2019. The SPL remained in force during the renewal process. • 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. During the July to September 2018 quarter, Dome carried out work on its Nadrau Copper-Gold Project on Viti Levu, Fiji. The Nadrau Project includes two key prospects, Namoli and Wainivau, which are highly prospective for large-scale porphyry copper-gold mineralisation. The Namoli and Wainivau prospects lie within SPL 1452, located adjacent to the very large undeveloped Namosi porphyry copper-gold resource, held by Newcrest, which contains 8 million ounces of gold and 8.6 million tonnes of contained copper metal based on published JORC 2012 resource estimates. Namosi is a giant undeveloped copper-gold resource that is currently in the Prefeasibility Stage. A location map showing the regional geological setting of SPL 1452, the Namoli and Wainivau prospects, and their proximity to Newcrest’s Namosi project, is included on Figure 10. 16 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report Figure 10 - Map showing the location of SPL1452 and the Namoli-Wainivau prospects, in proximity to the large Namosi Cu-Au deposit managed by Newcrest. The following work was completed on the Nadrau Project during the financial year:  Site visits to Korolevu and Namoli villages and meetings with the village leaders.  Field trips to Namoli-Wainivau prospects to review the geology, alteration and mineralisation at surface.  Compilation of previous exploration data over Namoli and Wainivau, completed by Amoco, CRA and Placer Dome between 1974 and 1994.  Compilation of historical exploration results into a new GIS database to allow new interpretations and targeting for future Dome exploration programs.  A new stream sediment Bulk Leach Extractable Gold (BLEG) sampling program at Namoli- Wainivau was completed. Amoco carried out significant exploration programs at Namoli-Wainivau in the mid-1970s, including collection of stream sediment samples, rock chip samples, ridge and spur samples, channel sampling, ground magnetics, IP and diamond drilling (5 holes). Dome has been aware of this historical work for some years, but a decision was made recently to digitally capture all of this data into a comprehensive GIS database, to assist with new interpretations and targeting work. The Amoco IP survey included 25 lines at 200 m spacing over an area of approximately 3.5 square kilometres. Several IP anomalies were defined. However, only 2 the 6 IP targets defined by Amoco were drill tested by Amoco. Furthermore, some of the IP anomalies continue to the edge of the survey boundary, particularly in the north and are likely to extend further north. New IP surveys would be required to test the true extents of these IP anomalies. The Amoco drilling program consisted of 5 diamond drill holes for a total of 1168 m. The drilling returned anomalous copper mineralisation associated with sulphide mineralisation in most of the holes. Drill core assays were recorded up to 1740 ppm Cu, with wide zones of low-grade copper in some holes (e.g. hole SFA-74-1 returned 48.2m @ 475 ppm Cu). Higher-grade copper mineralisation could occur at depth below this relatively shallow drilling program or could be associated with one of the other untested IP anomalies nearby. 17 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report CRA carried out regional exploration work in the Namoli-Wainivau area during 1989-1992. The CRA reports held on file at the MRD Library in Suva (SPL1325) were reviewed by Dome personnel. The CRA work included rock chip sampling around Namoli-Wainivau, with the best sample returning 1.1 g/t Au near Korolevu village (siliceous breccia gossanous float). Another 6 rock chip samples range from 0.1 to 0.32 ppm Au. Placer Dome also carried out regional exploration work in the Namoli-Wainivau during 1993-94. The Placer report was reviewed at the MRD Library in Suva (SPL1356). Placer collected a number of stream sediment BLEG samples and -80# stream sediment samples at Namoli-Wainivau. Placer’s highest stream sediment BLEG gold assay returned 11 ppb Au, and the highest-80# stream sediment assay was 58 ppb Au. The highest Placer rock chip gold assay was 0.277 g/t Au, taken at the Wainivau Prospect. Placer geologists concluded that Namoli-Wainivau includes a very large copper-gold (Cu-Au) geochemical anomaly, approximately 60 square km in area, and that the area is very prospective for porphyry Cu-Au deposits similar to Namosi. Placer also noted as had Dome geologists that Amoco’s drilling in 1975, did not adequately test the best soil and IP anomalies, and that their 5 drill holes are largely outside the main Copper geochemical soil anomaly. Placer did not complete any further work after 1994. A field geological program to Namoli-Wainivau was conducted by Dome geologists between 29 October and 3 November 2018. A total of 46 Stream Sediment Samples and 8 rock chip samples were collected over a period of 6 days. Field operations were based from Korolevu village and several local workers were engaged by Dome from Korolevu and Namoli, to assist with the sampling program. Assay results from samples collected during the geochemical program were received from ALS in early December 2018. The stream sediment gold and copper plots are shown below on Figures 11 and 12 and they highlight the anomalous gold-copper in the area around Wainivau. Anomalous gold- copper in stream sediments also extends to the NW of Wainivau towards Namoli. This trend is broadly coincident with a mapped NW-trending zone of iron-oxide breccia observed in the field. The breccia itself contains anomalous metals. The rock chip samples collected by Dome around Wainivau-Namoli returned weakly anomalous copper assays up to 157 ppm and gold assays up to 0.022 g/t Au. The iron in these samples is significant (up to 14.5% Fe), which is consistent with the large amount of Fe-oxide observed in some of the breccia samples. The new stream sediment data acquired by the Company are consistent with the historical copper- gold geochemical data from Amoco, CRA, and Placer reports. Dome now has a much higher degree of confidence in the historical data. The data shows very encouraging signs that a Cu-Au porphyry system similar to Namosi has potential to be discovered in the Namoli-Wainivau area. In addition, the exploration GIS dataset provides significant new insights into this project and new targets for Dome to follow up geologically. Dome’s recent geochemical surveys using modern laboratories and analytical techniques verify the historical results. These data confirm that the Namoli-Wainivau targets are prospective for copper-gold mineralised porphyritic intrusive deposits. 18 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report Figure 11 - Map showing the stream sediment copper assay results from Namoli- Wainivau prospect. 19 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report Figure 12 - Map showing the stream sediment gold assay results from Namoli- Wainivau prospect. 20 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Report Mineral Resources Statement Summarised below by JORC Classification are the resource estimates for the Sigatoka River and Kulukulu areas.

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 2019 were approved and authorised for issue by the board of directors on 19 September 2019 (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 4, Level 21, 123 Pitt Street, Sydney 2000. Dome Gold Mines Ltd is the parent company with 100% ownership of:  Magma Mines Pty Ltd;  Dome Mines Pte Ltd (a company limited by shares incorporated in Fiji); and  Magma Mines Pte 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. The Group adopted the new standards using the modified retrospective approach which means that the cumulative impact of the adoption (if any) is recognised in retained earnings as of 1 July 2018 and that comparatives will note be restated AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Group adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018 but does not derive any revenue from its exploration activities at this stage, as such has not recognised any operating revenue to date. Eventually when the Group starts generating revenue, revenue will be recognised in accordance with AASB 15. Therefore there is no impact from the transition from AASB118 to AASB 15. 36 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 2.1 New and revised standards that are effective and adopted by the Group (continued) AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 9 sets out requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and somecontracts to buy or sell non-financial items. This standard replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. (a) Classification - Financial assets and financial liabilities AASB 9 contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. AASB 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The standard eliminates the existing AASB 139 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Loans and receivables are classified and measured at amortised cost. The Group holds assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms are solely payments of outstanding principal and interest on the principal outstanding. The standard requires all financial liabilities to be subsequently classified at amortised cost, except in certain circumstances, of which none applies to the Group. The table below outlines the accounting treatment for financial assets and financial liabilities under AASB 139 as compared to AASB 9. Financial instrument Security deposits Trade and other payables Borrowings Previous AASB 139 Amortised cost Amortised cost Amortised cost Current AASB 9 Amortised cost Amortised cost Amortised cost The Group’s other receivables do not meet the definition of a financial asset as they include GST receivable and prepayments. As a result, Group management is satisfied that there is no impact from the transition from AASB139 to AASB9 (b) Impairment –Trade and other receivables AASB 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in AASB 139 with a forward-looking ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. The new impairment model is only relevant to the Group’s financial assets measured at amortised cost. Given the Group is currently in the exploration phase and does not have trade receivables there was no impact of adoption of AASB 9 in this respect. (c) Hedge accounting The new hedge accounting rules generally allow for more hedge relationships to be eligible for hedge accounting, as the standard is aligned to a principles-based approach. On basis that the Group does not have hedging arrangements there is no impact on adoption of AASB 9 to the Group in this respect. 2.2 New and revised standards that are not yet adopted by the Group 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 37 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 2.2 New and revised Standards that are not yet adopted by the Group (continued) The Group has operating lease commitments of 3 motor vehicles in Fiji and office leases in both Fiji and Australia. On adoption of AASB 16, the Group will recognise on its balance sheet the minimum lease payments under its lease arrangements as ‘right-of-use assets’ with a corresponding financial lease liability. The financial liability will be adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognised previously recognised under AASB 117 will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs), and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (operating activities) component. Based on the Group’s preliminary assessment, a right of use asset of $428,620 and lease liability of $403,980 is expected to be recognised effective 1 July 2019. The Group 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 note be restated. 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 2019. 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. 38 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 3 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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. 3.5 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. 39 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 3 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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. 3.7 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. 40 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 3 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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 2-20 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. 3.9 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. . 41 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 3 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3.10 Income tax (continued) 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 The Group currently does not have any revenue. The SPL licenses of the Group only permit the Group to carry out exploration activities. Once the Group reaches the production phase, revenue will be recognised using the 5-step process: 1 Identifying the contract with a customer 2 Identifying the performance obligations 3 Determining the transaction price 4 Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations 5 Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied. The total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price for a contract excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Accounting policy for comparative period 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. 3.14 Financial instruments Recognition and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. 42 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 3 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3.14 Financial instruments (continued) Classification and initial measurement of financial assets Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories: • amortised cost • fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) • fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). In the periods presented the corporation does not have any financial assets categorised as FVOCI. The classification is determined by both: • the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset • the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses. Subsequent measurement of financial assets Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVTPL): • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 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. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists. 43 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 3 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3.14 Financial instruments (continued) Impairment of financial assets AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit loss (ECL) model’. This replaced AASB 139’s ‘incurred loss model’. Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Group first identifying a credit loss event. Instead the Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument. In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between: • financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and • financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’). ‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category. Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments). All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income. 44 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 3 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3.14 Financial instruments (continued) Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) except for derivatives designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedge relationships, which require a specific accounting treatment. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging relationship must meet all of the following requirements: • there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument • the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship • the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. Accounting policy for comparative period 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. 45 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 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 ($31,705,357 at 30 June 2019) (2018: $30,264,494) 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 approval of the consolidated financial statements, all licences have been renewed and are up to date.   (ii) Going concern (Note 3.16) 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 $1,770,486 (2018: $1,704,321), used $2,832,815 (2018: $3,231,434) of net cash in operations including payments for exploration during the year ended 30 June 2019, and has a cash balance of $19,809 at 30 June 2019 (2018: $1,004,930), and current liabilities exceed current assets by $250,724. However, subsequent to 30 June 2019, the Group has received $1,950,000 in addition from shareholders via capital raising. 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. 46 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 3 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3.17 Impairment testing of non- financial 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. 47 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 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. 4 OTHER INCOME Interest income Other Total other income 2019 $ 5,074 240 5,314 2018 $ 9,376 - 9,376 48 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 5 OTHER EXPENSES Consultant expenses Loss on disposal of property, plant & equipment Office expenses Other expenses Total other expenses 6 FINANCE COSTS Interest expenses for borrowings at amortised cost - Related party - Third party 7 INCOME TAX (a) Income tax expense/(benefit) Current tax Deferred tax (b) Reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax payable: Loss before tax Prima facie income tax benefit at the Australian tax rate of 27.5% (2018: 27.5%) Increase/(decrease) in income tax expense due to: Assessable income/ non-deductible expenses Tax loss not recognised Effect of net deferred tax assets/(liabilities) not recognised Impact of overseas tax differential Income tax expense/(benefit) (c) Unrecognised deferred tax assets Deferred tax balances have not been recognised in respect of the following items: Tax loss Other deferred tax assets Deferred tax liability in relation to exploration costs Net deferred tax assets not recognised 2019 $ 662,536 240 338,399 157,575 1,158,750 25,102 1,966 27,068 - - - 2018 $ 613,297 1,339 277,340 146,758 1,038,734 2,604 22,624 25,228 - - - (1,770,486) (1,704,321) (486,884) (468,688) 21,306 449,939 14,306 1,333 - 15,701 453,581 (1,879) 1,285 - 3,127,878 720,025 (2,185,055) 1,662,848 2,656,883 774,945 (1,827,397) 1,604,431 49 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 8 LOSS PER SHARE Basic and diluted loss per share have been calculated using: Loss for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company 2019 $ 2018 $ (1,770,486) (1,704,321) No of Shares Weighted average number of shares at the end of the year used in basic and diluted loss per share 271,577,741 256,514,342 Basic and diluted loss per share (cents) (0.65) (0.66) As the Group is loss making, none of the potentially dilutive securities are currently dilutive. 9 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand, cash at bank and short term deposits at call, net of any outstanding bank overdraft, if any.

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. 59 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 26 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK (CONTINUED) 26.2 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 2019. 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% (2018: 5%) then this would have had the following impact: 30 June 2019 30 June 2018 Profit for the year $ - - Equity $ 250,253 227,097 If the AUD had weakened against the FJD by 5% (2018: 5%) then this would have had the following impact: 30 June 2019 30 June 2018 Profit for the year $ - - Equity $ (250,253) (227,097) 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 2019, the Group is not exposed to changes in market interest rates through borrowings as all borrowings are at fixed interest rates. At 30 June 2019, 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. 60 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 26 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK (CONTINUED) 26.2 Market risk analysis (continued) As at the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following floating financial instruments: 2019 Weighted average interest rate % Balance $ 2018 Weighted average interest rate % Balance $ Cash and cash equivalents 0 19,809 0.46 1,004,930 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). 2019 +0.5% $ -0.5% $ 2018 +0.5% $ -0.5% $ Profit/(loss) for the year 99 (99) 5,025 (5,025) 26.3 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 2019 $ 19,809 22,663 159,874 102,509 304,855 2018 $ 1,004,930 51,384 114,543 98,324 1,269,181 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. 61 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 26 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK (CONTINUED) 26.4 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. The carrying amount of financial liabilities recognised at the reporting date, as summarised below: 30 June 2019 Carrying value Contractual amount Borrowings Trade and other payables Total $ 1,045,921 279,531 1,325,452 Total Within one year $ 55,452 279,531 334,983 $ 1,135,332 279,531 1,414,863 30 June 2018 Carrying value Contractual amount Borrowings Trade and other payables Total $ 472,561 187,649 660,210 Total Within one year $ - 187,649 187,649 $ 482,486 187,649 670,135 Between one to five years $ 1,079,880 - 1,079,880 Between one to five years $ 482,486 - 482,486 27 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. 62 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 28 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 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: Options issued to directors Options issued to contractors Weighted average exercise price ($) - 0.45 - - - 0.45 - - - 0.45 0.45 0.45 Number of shares - 1,500,000 - - - 1,500,000 - - - 1,500,000 1,500,000 1,500,000 Weighted average exercise price ($) - 0.45 - - - 0.45 - - - 0.45 0.45 0.45 Number of shares - 1,000,000 - - - 1,000,000 - - - 1,000,000 1,000,000 1,000,000 Outstanding at 1 July 2017 Granted Forfeited Exercised Expired Outstanding at 30 June 2018 Granted Forfeited Exercised Expired Outstanding at 30 June 2019 Exercisable at 30 June 2018 Exercisable at 30 June 2019 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: Valuation assumptions Grant date Vesting period ends Share price at date of grant Expected volatility Option life Dividend yield Risk free investment rate Weighted average fair value at grant date Weighted average exercise price at grant date Exercisable from Exercisable to Options issued to directors 24 November 2017 27 July 2020 $0.21 61.74% 977 days - 1.92% $0.04 $0.45 24 November 2017 27 July 2020 Options issued to contractors 24 November 2017 31 December 2020 $0.21 58.44% 1,134 days - 1.92% $0.04 $0.45 24 November 2017 31 December 2020 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, Nil (2018: $103,439) expenses was recognised, 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. 63 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 29 AUTHORISATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019 (including comparatives) were approved by the board of directors on 19 September 2019. 64 Dome Gold Mines Ltd and its controlled entities Directors’ Declaration The directors of the Company declare that: 1 In the opinion of the Directors of Dome Gold Mines Limited: a) The consolidated financial statements and notes of Dome Gold Mines Limited are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: i Giving a true and fair view of its financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its performance for the financial year ended on that date; and ii Complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and the Australian Accounting b) There are reasonable grounds to believe that Dome Gold Mines Limited will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. 2 The Directors have been given the declarations required by Section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (or equivalent) for the financial year ended 30 June 2019. 3 Note 1 confirms that the consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

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 Company’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. 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. Key audit matter Exploration and Evaluation Assets – valuation Note 3 and 14 At 30 June 2019 the carrying value of Exploration and Evaluation Assets was $31,705,357. 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. How our audit addressed the key audit matter Our procedures included, amongst others:  Obtaining the management prepared reconciliation of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure and agreeing to the general ledger;  Evaluating management’s area of interest considerations against AASB 6;  Conducting a detailed analysis 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;  Evaluating the competence, capabilities and objectivity of management’s experts in the evaluation of potential impairment triggers; and  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 2019, 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. 67 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 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.
