Chairman’s Message  

Dear Shareholder 

I  am  pleased  to  present  the  Annual  Report  of  Dome  Gold  Mines  Limited  for  the  first  time  as  your 
Chairman for the year ended 30 June 2021. 

The  past  twenty-four  months  have  been  unlike  any  other  period  in  your  Company’s  history,  as  the 
COVID-19 pandemic has continued to disrupt lives and businesses throughout this financial year. The 
pandemic  has  severely  restricted  international  travel  and  interrupted  the  normal  course  of  business 
activity  worldwide.  We  are  hopeful  that  increasing  vaccination  numbers  will  reduce  the  threat  of  the 
virus to the point where some normalcy to our lives returns. 

Dome  has  adopted  a  conservative  approach,  in  accordance  with  protocols  recommended  by 
governments, with the health and wellbeing of our employees and their communities foremost in our 
minds. The major impact for Dome is the strict constraints on movement that have been imposed by 
the Fiji and Australian Governments. Fortunately, we have found means to minimise this impact. 

Dome  completed  the  resource  update  drilling  at  Sigatoka  in  April  2020.  The  drilling  programme 
concentrated on the Southern Kulukulu part of the Sigatoka resource area and was undertaken on the 
recommendation of engineering consultants completing the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS). Based 
on  the  Sigatoka  drilling  results  obtained,  Dome  commissioned  an  update  of  the  mineral  resource 
estimate by its JORC 2012 resource consultants. This updated resource estimate was published  on 
November 5, 2020 (see ASX release of that date for JORC 2012 Table 1). 

The total of classified and unclassified resources increased to 189.5 million tonnes. Very importantly at 
Kulukulu South a new indicated resource of 34 million tonnes with an average Heavy Mineral grade of 
19.7% as well as an Inferred Resource of 0.61 million tonnes at 48.3% Heavy Minerals was defined. 
This is very significant as it this area of the deposit where mining is proposed to commence. 

To advance toward completion of the DFS, plans were established during the June quarter of 2021 to 
collect a 15-20 tonne sample representative of the deposit from the recently sonic drilled Kulukulu south 
area.  Bulk material bags containing  the sample  will  be placed  into a 20-tonne shipping container for 
secure transport to the port of Brisbane. A large-scale pilot plant will then process the sample to record 
data required for commercial plant  design  as well as produce samples of the magnetite concentrate 
and industrial sand for market testing purposes. 

While the pilot plant work is being undertaken, consulting engineers will resume work on the DFS and 
environmental consultants will be appointed to update the existing Environmental Impact report. Sand 
mining at Sigatoka will apply fresh water and gravity-magnetic heavy mineral processes for magnetite 
concentrate and industrial sand recovery that will not introduce any damaging emissions to the local 
environment. Mined areas will be rehabilitated to their natural state or for uses not currently possible. 

It is pleasing to note that international iron ore prices continued to be firm during the year adding much 
value  to  Sigatoka.  We  also  note  that  demand  for  industrial  sand,  such  as  Sigatoka  can  produce, 
continues to be strong. Worldwide, industrial sand for concrete and related uses is the most abundantly 
consumed raw material, with approximately 30 billion tonnes of such sand used annually. This provides 
Dome an outstanding opportunity to make Sigatoka a substantial, multi-commodity mining operation, 
further enhancing already strong indicative economics.

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 2021. 

DIRECTORS’ DETAILS 

The following persons were Directors of Dome during or since the end of the financial year. 

Mr John V. McCarthy 
Bachelor of Science (St. Francis Xavier University) 
Member, Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy 
Chairman  
Independent Non-Executive Director 
Director since 13 January 2021 

Mr John V. McCarthy is a Geologist, with extensive knowledge and experience in the resources sector, 
built up over a career spanning 46 years in mineral exploration. He has worked in Canada, Southern 
Africa, Indonesia, Vietnam, Fiji and Australia and has previously held senior executive positions in junior 
exploration companies, both listed and unlisted. 

Mr McCarthy worked for Dome initially as a consultant and later as CEO for eight years until May 2019, 
when he retired to pursue personal interests. During his earlier time with Dome, he took an active role 
in the listing of the Company on the ASX and its subsequent growth, including Dome’s acquisition of 
Magma Mines Ltd, holder of the Sigatoka Iron Sands Project in Fiji (SPL1495). 

Mr John V. McCarthy was appointed as an independent, non-executive Director of the Company on 13 
January 2021, and assumed the role of non-executive Chairman from 1 February 2021.

Mr Tadao Tsubata 
Bachelor of Arts in Economics (Kokushikan University, Tokyo) 
Non-Executive Director 
Director since 8 July 2011 

Mr  Tadao  Tsubata  studied  at  Kokushikan  University,  Tokyo,  in  the  Department  of  Politics  and 
Economics, graduating in 1991 with a B.A. in Economics. 

From 1991 to 1997, Tadao worked in corporate finance at a large Japanese securities company.  From 
this  role  he  moved  to  a  major  international  life  insurance  and  investment  company  where  he  was 
involved in retail offerings and distribution of the business in Japan. 

Establishing his first business in life insurance distribution and agencies in 2001, this formed the basis 
of a new business being a Japanese focused asset management company. 

In early 2010 the activities of both the insurance business and the asset management company grew 
to the extent that a private investment advisory firm was established to specifically target international 
investments in mining exploration, primary production and other growth industries.  Tadao continues in 
the role of Chief Executive Officer of this business and its international operations including in Australia.

Directors’ Report 

The newly identified relatively small but very high-grade resource at Kulukulu South (610,000 tonnes 
@ 48.3% HM) sits mostly above sea level (Figures 4 and 5). Its presence strongly supports Kulukulu 
South as being the ideal location to commence mining operations. 

The mineral assemblage test work performed on Koroua Island samples indicates that around two thirds 
of the MAG1 (300 Gauss) magnetic fraction comprises iron minerals (dominantly magnetite, but with 
significant goethite and hematite). 

This  would  be  a  conservative  estimate  of  the  mineral  assemblage  of  the  MAG1  heavy  mineral 
component  at  the  high-grade  Kulukulu  South  resource.  There  the  heavy  mineral  assemblage  is 
expected  to  contain  the  highest  concentration  of  iron  minerals  as  a  result  of  secondary  coastal 
fractionation (i.e. concentration). 

The next step to advance the Sigatoka Project is to collect a 15-20 tonne bulk sand sample that will be 
shipped to Australia for pilot plant processing as part of the resumed definitive feasibility study. These 
new drilling results allow a properly informed decision about where to extract the bulk sample. Given its 
potential to supply ore to a processing plant for the first five or six years of production, the Kulukulu 
South area will feature prominently in the bulk sampling process.

Kulukulu South Resource Update Sonic Drilling Program 

To  provide  the  data  required  for  the  JORC  2012  resource  estimate  update  described  above  Dome 
completed a sonic  drilling  program  on  the Kulukulu  area extending  westward  from  the mouth of the 
Sigatoka  River  (see  Figures  3  &  5).  This  program  commenced  on  10  September  2019  and  was 
completed on 3 April 2020. The program consisted of 55 holes for a total advance of 1441.7 m (see 
Figure 6). 

A  topographic  aerial  drone  survey  was  flown  in  the  last  quarter  of  2019  over  the  Sigatoka  resource 
areas. The digital deliverables from this survey were supplied to Dome in the first quarter of 2020. This 
aerial drone survey has provided Dome with a very detailed elevation map across the main resource 
areas within SPL 1495, accurate to within 5 cm. 

This new dataset allowed the precise JORC 2012 resource modelling work to be completed. An aerial 
image over the drone survey area is included as Figure 6.

Directors’ Report 

The  2019-2020  sonic  drilling  program  was  conducted  on  a  70  m  x  140  m  grid  and  focused  on  the 
southern part of the Inferred Kulukulu Resource (see Figures 4 & 6). This area was targeted by Dome 
as it contains higher grade heavy mineral mineralisation and is recommended as the starting point for 
sand mining, pursuant to recommendations of the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”). 

Initial observations from the recent drilling, combined with results from earlier reconnaissance drilling 
by Dome at Kulukulu, indicate that the southern Kulukulu area contains abundant sand which is both 
thick (greater than 30 m) and visually rich in magnetite. 

It therefore represents an ideal starting point for mining, especially if the present expectation of using 
IHC-branded TT sand pumps, instead of dredges, receives full endorsement in the final DFS report. 

Sigatoka Project Definitive Feasibility Study Update 

On 30 July 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 established a strategic relationship between Dome and IHC that initially involved completion 
of a DFS on the Sigatoka Iron Sand project. 

Assuming  the  DFS  concludes  that  mining  is  viable,  IHC  may,  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 riverbed, 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. 

The preliminary results indicated that a simple process, combining fresh water, 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, which is large scale pilot plant processing of a 15-20 tonne representative sample of the 
area where mining will commence. 

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) 

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 12 June 2019. This report has been reviewed by Dome’s Staff and Consultants, 
and further evaluation of the results is on-going.

Directors’ Report 

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 bulk sample pilot plant will refine the processes of the metallurgical scale plant to replicate mine 
development processes that combine gravity and magnetic separation methods to efficiently recover 
magnetite and  washed construction sand (plus minor gravel), as commercial products to undertake 
market analysis of sales to export and Fiji consumers.

The project development options study completed by IHC Robbins 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.

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

SPL 1451 Ono Island Project 

•  SPL1451 was renewed for a three-year period on 25 June 2020. 
•  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.

alteration, pole-diploe Induced Polarisation (IP) survey lines and nominal drill sites 

Prior to undertaking exploration diamond drilling, an offset pole-dipole IP survey involving 4 arrays, 2 
over each prospect (see Figure 7) 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.  Receiver electrodes were placed at 100m intervals along the two 
survey lines either side of the transmitter line (34 points).

recommended for exploration drilling. 

Two 32 channel IP receivers were used to take 3 to 4 readings at each electrode. Figures 8 & 9 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 locations of intense argillic alteration and zones of silicification and anomalous geochemistry. 

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 SW Pacific. 

The Company completed an initial diamond drilling program 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.  A  drill  hole  location  map  is  included  as  Figure  10.  Table  2  presents  the  GPS  collar  co-

The  drilling  was  problematical  at  times  due  to  the  high  degree  of  fracturing  and  hydrothermal  clay 
alteration causing some holes to collapse. Cementing was carried out to secure the holes in areas of 
poor ground conditions and reach deeper levels.

A  photo  below  in  Plate  4  shows  typical  sulphide-bearing  rock  in  drill  core  from  ONODDH007  (from 
225.7m 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.

ONODDH007, HQ core from 225.7 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 Ono Island drill program. 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 sawmill in the village. 

The excavator and several 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 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. 

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. 

Impact of Climate Change 

There is no apparent immediate impact of climate change that negatively impacts upon the Company’s 
Fiji  projects.  Going  forward,  Dome  will  seek  to  employ  low  to  zero  emission  energy  sources  for  its 
exploration, mining and mineral processing activities that will meet or exceed requirements of the Fiji 
Government. 

SPL 1452 Nadrau Project 

•  SPL1452 was renewed on 26 August 2019 for a further 3-year period that will expire on August 25, 

2022. 

•  The tenement area of 33,213ha is located on Fiji’s main island, Viti Levu and 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. 
•  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

Directors’ Report 

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 13. 

Figure 13 -  Map  showing  the  location  of  SPL1452  and  the  Namoli-Wainivau  prospects  and  its 
proximity  to  the  large  Namosi  Cu-Au  deposit  majority  owned  and  managed  by 
Newcrest. 

The following work was completed on the Nadrau Project: 
  Field  trips  to  Namoli-Wainivau  prospects  to  review  the  geology,  alteration  and  mineralisation  at 

surface and map bush track access points. 

  Continued compilation of previous exploration data over Namoli and Wainivau, completed by Amoco, 

CRA and Placer Dome between 1974 and 1994.

Directors’ Report 

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 anomaly targeting. 

An Amoco IP survey included 25 lines at 200m spacing over an area of approximately 3.5 square km. 
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 1168m. The drilling returned 
anomalous copper mineralisation associated with sulphide mineralisation in most of the holes. Drill core 
assays were recorded up to 1740ppm Cu, with wide zones of low-grade copper in some holes (e.g. hole 
SFA-74-1 returned 48.2m @ 475ppm 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. 

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 1.1g/t Au 
near Korolevu village (siliceous breccia gossanous float). Another 6 rock chip samples range from 0.1 
to 0.32ppm 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  11ppb  Au,  and  the  highest-80# stream sediment assay 
was  58ppb  Au.  The  highest  Placer  rock  chip  gold  assay  was  0.277g/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 Cu geochemical soil anomaly. Placer did not complete any further work after 
1994. 

A field geological program to Namoli-Wainivau was conducted by Dome geologists. A total of 46 Stream 
Sediment Samples and 8 rock chip samples were collected over a period of 6 days. 

The stream sediment gold and copper plots are shown below on Figures 14 and 15 and they highlight 
the  anomalous  gold-copper  in  the  area  around  Wainivau  that  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. 

Rock  chip  samples  collected  by  Dome  around  Wainivau-Namoli  returned  weakly  anomalous  copper 
assays up to 157ppm and gold assays up to 0.022g/t Au. The iron in these samples is significant (up to 
14.5% Fe). 

This  stream  sediment  data  acquired  by  the  Company  are  consistent  with  the  historical  copper-gold 
geochemical data from Amoco, CRA, and Placer therefore increasing 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 geological targets.

Implications of Covid-19 Pandemic 

The pandemic has disrupted international travel and the normal course of business activity world-wide 
has been impacted. Recent virus outbreaks in Fiji and parts of Australia, have delayed field activities. 
During this period, some of the key Dome staff have been working from home and planning for collection 
and shipment of the large bulk sample from Sigatoka has proceeded uninterrupted. 

Much of 2020-21 was focused on continuation of the DFS including the final upgrade of the JORC 2012 
mineral resource estimate announced in November 2020. Plans are now in place to collect and ship 
the  bulk  sample  to  the  IHC  Mining  pilot  plant  facility  in  Queensland.  The  pilot  plant  processing  is 
anticipated to commence during the December quarter of 2021. 

In Sydney and Fiji, the Company is observing all the recommended protocols, including suspension of 
all international and domestic travel. In Sydney office, Dome staff worked as usual most of the months 
throughout the year. Since the end of June 2021, New South Wales has been in lockdown due to the 
spread of Delta variant in the community, all staff have worked from home until now. While in Fiji, the 
Company  temporarily  stood  down  most  staff  with  one  admin  staff  working  in  office  running  daily 
administration  and  accounts  matters  and  one  geologist  working  from  home  planning  bulk  sampling 
work. Other staff can be called in on casual basis whenever required.

Resource comparison 2020 to 2021 

There has been a change due to further drilling as shown in Table 1 above with part of the Kulukulu 
North resource still present, but unclassified until access is clarified and an increase of the Indicated 
resource category due to drilling of the Kulukulu South area adding 34 MT and when combined with a 
small reduction in the Sigatoka River Indicated resource of 1.4 MT due to flood mitigation dredging so 
the Indicated Resource has increased from 77.8 MT to 110.4 MT. The Inferred Resource is now 5.9 
MT and the unclassified resource is 73.2 MT for a total resource of 189.5 MT.

Directors’ Report 

Sigatoka Iron and Industrial Sand Heavy Mineral Project  
Since the end of the reporting period, a budget has been prepared for Sigatoka project bulk sampling 
work.  A  representative  bulk  sample  of  between  15  and  20  tonnes  of  the  Sigatoka  magnetite  and 
industrial sand deposit is being collected for shipment in the December quarter from Fiji to Australia for 
processing in a pilot plant that will duplicate the processes in a commercial treatment plant. The pilot 
plant at IHC Mining’s metallurgical facility will produce process engineering and performance data for 
design,  equipment  selection  and  close  estimation  of  capital  and  operating  costs  of  a  full  scale 
processing  plant.  It  will  also  produce  samples  of  magnetite  concentrate,  other  heavy  minerals  and 
various industrial sand and gravel products for market analysis and to seek offtake agreements. This 
information is important for completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study. This work will also support an 
application for renewal of SPL1495 that will be submitted to the Mineral Resources Department during 
January 2022. 

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

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

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

Directors’ Report 

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 

The Directors of Dome Gold Mines Ltd (the ‘Group’) present the Remuneration Report for non-executive 
Directors, executive Directors, and other Key Management Personnel, prepared in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings: 

a. 
b. 
c. 
d. 

principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration; 
details of remuneration; 
share-based remuneration; and 
other information. 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

a. 
Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the 
activities of the Group.  Key management personnel comprise the Directors of the Company and the 
executives.  No other employees have been deemed to be key management personnel. 

The  remuneration  policy  of  Directors  and  senior  executives  is  to  ensure  the  remuneration  package 
properly  reflects  the  persons’  duties  and  responsibilities,  and  that  remuneration  is  competitive  in 
attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality.  The Board is responsible for reviewing 
its own performance.  The evaluation process is designed to assess the Group’s business performance, 
whether  long  term  strategic  objectives  are  being  achieved,  and  the  achievement  of  individual 
performance objectives. 

Executive  remuneration  includes  a  base  salary  and  superannuation  that  is  set  with  reference  to  the 
market.   

Fees to non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the 
Directors.  Non-executive remuneration comprises only directors’ fees. Directors’ fees and payments 
are reviewed annually by the Board.  The Board has also drawn on external sources of information to 
ensure non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line  with the market. The 
remuneration  disclosed  below  represents  the  cost  to  the  Group  for  services  provided  under  these 
arrangements. 

No Directors or senior executives received performance related remuneration. 

There were no remuneration consultants used by the Company during the year ended 30 June 2021, 
or in the prior year. 

Vote and comments made at the Company’s last Annual General Meeting  
The  Remuneration  Report  of  Dome  Gold  Mines  Ltd  for  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2021  was 
approved by shareholders on a show of hands at the Company’s Annual General Meeting.  

Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth 
In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board has regard to 
the following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous four (4) financial years:

Directors’ Report 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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 2021. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to 
variable returns from its investment with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through 
its power over the subsidiary. 

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

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

3.3 Business combination 

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

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

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

3.4 Basis of measurement 

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

3  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

3.5 Foreign currency transactions and balances 

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

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

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

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

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

3.6 Segment Reporting 

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

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

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

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

3.7 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.

3  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

3.7 Exploration and evaluation expenditure (Continued) 

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

 

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

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

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

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

3.8 Property, plant and equipment 

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

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

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

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

Class of fixed asset 

Useful Lives  Depreciation basis 

Exploration computer equipment 

2.5-4.2 years 

Prime cost 

Exploration furniture and fittings 

3-8.3 years 

Exploration plant and equipment 

2.5-8.3 years 

Office equipment 

2-20 years 

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 Income tax 

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based 
on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and 
liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior 
periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be 
applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted 
or substantively enacted, except for: 

  When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset 
or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, 
affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or 

  When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries and the timing of the 
reversal  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  difference  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting 
date.  Deferred  tax  assets  recognised  are  reduced  to  the  extent  that  it  is  no  longer  probable  that  future 
taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred 
tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to 
recover the asset. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current 
tax assets against  current  tax liabilities and  deferred  tax assets  against  deferred  tax liabilities;  and they 
relate to  the  same  taxable  authority  on either the same taxable entity  or different taxable  entities which 
intend to settle simultaneously. 

3.10 Revenue  

Revenue from contracts with customers 

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. 

Interest 

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of 
calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period 
using  the  effective  interest  rate,  which  is  the  rate  that  exactly  discounts  estimated  future  cash  receipts 
through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

3.11 Government grants  

Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and 
all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as 
income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, 
are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised against the asset released to profit or 
loss over the expected useful life of the related asset as a reduced depreciation charge. 

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. 

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.

3  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

3.14 Financial instruments (Continued) 

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.  

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.

3.14 Financial instruments (continued) 

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. 

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)  Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has 
had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of 
the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the 
Group operates. The potential impact has been detailed on page 24 of Directors’ Report. 

(ii)  Income tax 

The  Group  is  subject  to  income  taxes  in  the  jurisdictions  in  which  it  operates.  Significant  judgement  is 
required  in  determining  the  provision  for  income  tax.  There  are  many  transactions  and  calculations 
undertaken  during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. 
The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Group's current understanding 
of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such 
differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is 
made.

(iii)  Exploration and evaluation expenditure (Note 14) 

All capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure ($32,619,597 on 30 June 2021) (2020: $32,585,436) 
has been capitalised on the basis that: 
 

acquisition of rights to explore; or 
topographical or geological costs; or 
drilling and/or trenching; or 
sampling and assaying; or 
feasibility studies; or 
Indirect costs associated with above mentioned costs 

Expenditure relates to:  
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
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.

(iv)  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  $2,238,036  (2020:  $2,003,468),  used  $2,049,557  (2020: 
$2,465,424) of net cash in operations including payments for exploration during the year ended 30 June 
2021, and has a cash balance of $200,568 at 30 June 2021 (2020: $13,642), and current assets exceed 
current  liabilities  by  $10,215  (2020:  $-453,892).  However,  subsequent  to  30  June  2021,  the  Group  has 
received  $2,541,380  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.

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 assets’ 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-based payment reserve – comprises fair value of options granted to the Company’s Directors 
and contractor, the issue of options in lieu of services provided as part of equity transactions, and the 
issue of options to extinguish debt; 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.  

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.

3.19 Employee benefits (Continued) 

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 Right-of-use assets 

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured 
at  cost,  which  comprises  the  initial  amount  of  the  lease  liability,  adjusted  for,  as  applicable,  any  lease 
payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct 
costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be 
incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the 
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership 
of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of 
use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term 
leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets 
are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. 

3.21 Lease liabilities 

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised 
at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the 
interest  rate  implicit  in  the  lease  or,  if  that  rate  cannot  be  readily  determined,  the  Group’s  incremental 
borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable 
lease  payments  that  depend  on  an  index  or  a  rate,  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  under  residual  value 
guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to 
occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. 

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying 
amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a 
change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and 
termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding 
right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. 

3.22 Share-based payments 

The  Group  operates  equity-settled  share-based  payments  for  its  directors,  contractors  and  brokers  in 
exchange for the rendering of services. Equity-settled share-based payments are also provided for a loan 
settlement. 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, contractors and brokers 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).

3  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

3.22 Share-based payments (Continued) 

The cost of equity-settled share-based payments provided for directors’ remuneration or loan settlement is 
ultimately recognised as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to share-based payment 
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.   

The cost of equity-settled  share-based payments provided for brokers rendering fund raising services is 
recognised  as  issue  costs  under  equity  with  a  corresponding  credit  to  share-based  payment  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.

13  LEASES 

The Group had long-term operating lease commitments of 1 motor vehicle in Fiji and office leases in both 
Fiji and Australia, which expired during the year ended 30 June 2021. Each lease is reflected on the balance 
sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.  

The  Group  has  short-term  operating  lease  commitments  of  office  leases  in  both  Fiji  and  Australia.  The 
Group elects to apply the recognition exemptions of AASB 16 to each lease and recognises lease payments 
as an expense on a straight-line basis. 

Right-of-use Assets 

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability 

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:  
 
  any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received  
  any initial direct costs, and  
 

restoration costs.  

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term 
on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use 
asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: 
 
  variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate 

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;  

as at the commencement date; 

  amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees; 
the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and 
 
  payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising that option. 

Lease  payments  to  be  made  under  reasonably  certain  extension  options  are  also  included  in  the 
measurement of the liability. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease.  
If that rate cannot be readily determined, the entity’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that 
the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value 
to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. 

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group uses recent arm's length borrowing rate received 
as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since borrowing was received, making 
adjustments specific to the lease (e.g. term, country, currency and security). 

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or 
loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of 
the liability for each period.

Sigatoka Iron and Industrial Sand Heavy Mineral Project  
Since the end of the reporting period, a budget has been prepared for Sigatoka project bulk sampling work. 
A representative bulk sample of between 15 and 20 tonnes of the Sigatoka magnetite and industrial sand 
deposit is being collected for shipment in the December quarter from Fiji to Australia for processing in a 
pilot plant that will duplicate the processes in a commercial treatment plant. The pilot plant at IHC Mining’s 
metallurgical  facility  will  produce  process  engineering  and  performance  data  for  design,  equipment 
selection  and  close estimation  of capital and  operating  costs of a  full scale  processing plant.  It will also 
produce samples of magnetite concentrate, other heavy minerals and various industrial sand and gravel 
products for market analysis and to seek offtake agreements. This information is important for completion 
of the Definitive Feasibility Study. This work will also support an application for renewal of SPL1495 that 
will be  submitted  to the  Mineral Resources Department  during  January  2022. There  is no  reason  in the 
opinion of Dome’s management that this renewal application will not be approved to extend the SPL1495 
for a further 3-year period. 

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

26  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK 

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

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

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

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

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 2021.  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% (2020: 5%) then this would have had the following 
impact:

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

26 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK (CONTINUED)  

26.2 Market risk analysis (continued) 

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.  On 30 June 2021, the Group is not exposed to changes in market interest 
rates through borrowings as all borrowings are at fixed interest rates.   

On 30 June 2021, 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.

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:

26 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK (CONTINUED)  

26.3 Credit risk analysis (continued) 
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. 

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.

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. 

28  SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS  
During the year ended 30 June 2021, 10,520,000 options were issued in exchange for goods or services 
provided and 2,566,126 options were issued to settle the loan with a third party. 

The fair values of options granted were determined using a variation of the Black-Scholes option pricing 
model  utilising the key  inputs including  the Group’s  risk-free  borrowing  rate  and  volatility  of  the Group’s 
shares.  The  fair  value  is  appraised  at  the  grant  date  and  excludes  the  impact  of  non-market  vesting 
conditions. 

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.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Members of Dome Gold Mines Limited  

Report on the audit of the financial report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Dome Gold Mines Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows 
for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting 
policies, and the Directors’ declaration.  

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

a  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its performance for the year 

ended on that date; and  

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

Basis for opinion 

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

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

Material uncertainty related to going concern 

We draw attention to Note 3.16 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $2,238,036 
during the year ended 30 June 2021, and its cash outflows from operating activities including payments for exploration were 
$2,049,557 for the year then ended. As stated in Note 3.16, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in 
Note 3.16, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. 
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

 Key audit matters  

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

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 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Exploration and evaluation assets - Notes 3.7 & 14 

At 30 June 2021 the carrying value of exploration and 
evaluation assets was $32,619,597.   

In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of 
Mineral Resources, the Group 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. 

The process undertaken by management to assess whether 
there are any impairment triggers in each area of interest 
involves an element of management judgement.  

This area is a key audit matter due to the significant 
judgement involved in determining the existence of 
impairment triggers.   

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

 

 

 

reviewing management’s area of interest 
considerations against AASB 6; 

testing a sample of expenditure capitalised by tracing 
to underlying support in order to understand the nature 
of the item and whether the expenditure was 
attributable to an area of interest, and therefore 
whether capitalisation was in accordance with the 
recognition criteria of AASB 6; 

conducting a detailed review of management’s 
assessment of impairment 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; 

–  enquiring of management regarding their intentions 
to carry out exploration and evaluation activity in 
the relevant exploration area, including review of 
management’s 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; and 

 

assessing the appropriateness of the related financial 
statement disclosures. 

75 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Share based payments  - Notes 3.22 & 28 

During the current reporting period, the Group issued share 
options in lieu of capital raising issue costs (broker fees), and 
extinguished a third party loan through the issue of shares and 
options.  

The options issued in lieu of capital raising issues costs were 
valued at $1,251,698. These were treated as a share issue 
cost, and were therefore deducted against equity. 

The shares and options issued to extinguish a third party loan 
were valued at $693,653, and repaid a $410,580 loan. The 
difference of $280,073 was recorded as a loss on settlement 
of debt in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income. 

This area is a key audit matter due to the inherent subjectivity 
involved in the Group making judgements relating to the key 
inputs and assumptions used to value the options, as well as 
the judgements required relating to vesting conditions. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

 

 

agreeing the issue of options and shares to underlying 
agreements;  
obtaining management’s calculation of the fair value of 
the share-based payments: 

– 

reviewing and testing the assumptions applied by 
management for reasonableness and historical 
accuracy;  

–  agreeing key inputs to the relevant terms within the 

share option agreement;  

–  verifying the mathematical accuracy of the 

valuation provided by management; 

 

 

evaluating and challenging management’s judgements 
regarding vesting conditions; and  
assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in 
respect to share-based payments. 

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 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report 
thereon.  

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

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

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

Responsibilities of the Directors’ for the financial report  

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

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the 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.

Report on the remuneration report 

Opinion on the remuneration report
