DREADNOUGHT RESOURCES LIMITED
CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
We are pleased to present the 2021 Annual Report for Dreadnought Resources Limited (“Dreadnought” or the “Company”).
The past year has been another active year for Dreadnought.
At this time last year, I described our goals for 2021 including:
Illaara Project
Systematically assess and test the numerous high-quality gold opportunities including the three ~10km long orogenic gold
anomalies at Metzke’s Find, Lawrence’s Find and Central Illaara. This work was successful with JORC 2012 Resource
definition work at Metzke’s Find now planned in the
December 2021 quarter. Other gold targets on the major structural corridors remain subject to ongoing testing.
Commercialise Illaara’s iron ore potential. Environmental surveys were successfully completed during the year hence
paving the way for JORC 2012 Resource drilling at the Kings iron ore prospect in the
December 2021 quarter.
Refine and test the VMS targeting methods. This work resulted in the 1.4km long Nelson Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag anomaly being
identified for testing over the coming year.
Tarraji-Yampi Project
Drill the fully approved and numerous untested targets at Tarraji-Yampi. This work went exceptionally well with significant
results returned from Orion, Grant’s Find and Fuso showing a strong Cu-Au-Ag style of mineralisation with associated Co,
Bi and Sb (up to 0.1% - 0.2%) metal association. This association indicates that all three targets are potentially part of a
larger mineralisation system including Texas and Rough Triangle.
Rocky Dam Project
Refine and test our understanding of the bedrock lode position at Rocky Dam. Given the acquisition and consolidation of
Mangaroon, Rocky Dam became non-core and limited work was undertaken. Rocky Dam was commercialised via a
divestment to Lycaon Resources Ltd and reduced our annual tenement holding costs while allowed us to focus on
advancing core projects.
General
In addition, we will continue to evaluate other opportunities for adding to shareholder value. Major advances were made
on this front including:
-
-
-
the acquisition and consolidation of the Mangaroon Ni-Cu-PGE & Au project;
entering into an Option/JV agreement with First Quantum Minerals Limited regarding the base metal rights over five
tenements at Mangaroon; and
identification of critical metals at the Peggy Sue Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum prospect and the Yin rare earth element
prospect.
For 2021, our goals include to:
-
establish JORC 2012 Resources at our more advance projects including for gold at Metzke’s Find, iron ore at the
Kings prospect and rare earths at Yin;
advance and determine the scale potential of the mineralisation system at Tarraji-Yampi (including Orion, Grant’s
Find, Fuso, Texas and Rough Triangle);
advance our earlier stage prospects (Nelson base metals VMS, Peggy Sue Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum, Black Oak,
Lawrence’s Corridor, CRA Homestead, Mangaroon gold;
continue to assess the economics of producing a saleable concentrate from the rare earths at Yin; and
continue to evaluate other opportunities for adding to shareholder value.

DREADNOUGHT RESOURCES LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The highlights and significant changes in state of affairs during the year and to date include:
Tarraji-Yampi Ni-Cu-PGE & Au (“Tarraji-Yampi”)
During the year, a 3D inversion of magnetic and gravity data refined the Fuso and Paul’s Find Cu-Au Targets.
Fuso has been defined by a 500m x 400m high density gravity anomaly nestled within a ~1,700m x 700m south-
southeast plunging magnetic anomaly. Paul’s Find is defined by a coincident intense ~300m x 200m remanent
magnetic and density anomaly located near surface. This geophysical signature is typical of Proterozoic Cu-Au
deposits such as those seen in Tennant Creek and Mt Isa.
Geophysical and environmental surveys were undertaken. Ground based Fixed Loop EM (“FLEM”) Surveys
identified three conductors at Orion and drilling is ongoing. Also, diamond drilling at Texas Ni-Cu-PGE commenced
and is also ongoing with the initial hole intersecting sulphides within the Ruins Dolerite.
Subsequent to 30 June 2021, RC drilling commenced at Orion, Fuso, Grant’s Find and Paul’s Find Cu-Au and
Chianti-Rufina Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag targets and intersected significant Cu-Ag-Au massive sulphides at Orion, Cu-Au-Co
at Grant’s Find and Cu-Au-Co at Fuso. Ongoing target generation work confirmed high grade Cu-Ag-Bi-Sb at
Rough Triangle. The current view is that these deposits form part of a large mineralised system.
Mangaroon Ni-Cu-PGE, REE & Au Project (“Mangaroon”)
Dreadnought consolidated a >4,500 sq km ground position in the Mangaroon zone of the Gascoyne region of
Western Australia. Mangaroon is host to high-grade gold mineralisation, high-tenor outcropping Ni-Cu-PGE
sulphide mineralisation and high-grade rare earth element (“REE”) ironstones.
First Quantum Minerals Limited (“FQM”) entered into an Option/JV agreement regarding the base metal rights
over five tenements at Mangaroon. The Option provides FQM with the right, following the completion of an
exploration program funded by FQM, to earn a 51% interest in Mangaroon by spending $15m and a further 19%
interest by sole funding all expenditure up until a Decision to Mine.
Work programs included: mapping and rock chip sampling over outcropping Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation along the
Money Intrusion (Ni-Cu-PGE); soil sampling over the Edmund and Minga Bar Faults (Au); and rock chip sampling
and mapping of outcropping high-grade REE ironstones.
Subsequent to 30 June 2021, a 1km long outcropping gossanous horizon was identified along the Money Intrusion
and additional high-grade REE ironstone outcrops were confirmed over 2.5km of strike at Yin with an additional
five REE ironstone outcrops identified off the Yin trend. An initial flotation circuit using bulk surface samples from
Yin performed well, achieving a recovery of 92.8% at a concentrate grade of 12.3% Nd2O3. Based on Nd2O3 and
CeO2 to TREO ratios from the head sample analysis, this equates to an average 40% TREO grade concentrate.
Mineralogical work on the concentrate confirmed that the REEs were hosted in monazite.
Illaara Au-Cu-LCT-Iron Ore Project (“Illara”)
High grade, narrow vein gold has been a focus within the Metzke’s Corridor. Multiple anomalies still require testing
in addition to following the Metzke’s Lode at depth.
With the encouragement of Metzke’s Corridor, the Lawrence’s Corridor and the Black Oak-CRA-Spitfire Corridor
have become the focus for the gold target generation pipeline.
In addition to gold, environmental work was advanced on the iron ore targets, high-grade tantalum mineralisation
was identified in outcropping fertile lithium-caesium-tantalum (“LCT”) pegmatites and a significant base metal in
soil anomaly was identified at the Nelson VMS target.
A number of work programs were completed at Illaara including:
•
•
RC Drilling at Metzke’s Corridor – 24 holes for 3,513m of drilling at Metzke’s Find, Longmore’s Find, Black Oak,
Bald Hill and Little Dove.
RC Drilling at Lawrence’s Corridor – 45 holes for 3,864m of drilling at 14 lithostructural-geochemical targets.
Regional soils survey to generate and define drill targets for gold, VMS base metals and LCT pegmatites.
Rocky Dam Gold & VMS Project (“Rocky Dam”)
In June 2021, Dreadnought entered into an agreement to divest Rocky Dam to Lycaon Resources Ltd, a pre-IPO
company that is seeking to list on the ASX in the December 2021 Quarter.
Dreadnought will receive 500,000 Lycaon shares as consideration plus a 1% net smelter royalty over all minerals
extracted from Rocky Dam.
The divestment of Rocky Dam reduces annual tenement holding costs by ~$150,000 and allows Dreadnought to
focus on advancing its core Kimberley, Mangaroon and Illaara projects.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Kimberley Ni-Cu-Au Projects
Dreadnought controls the second largest land
holding in the highly prospective West Kimberley
region of WA. The main project area, Tarraji-Yampi,
is located only 85kms from Derby and has been
locked up as a Defence Reserve since 1978.
Tarraji-Yampi presents a rare first mover opportunity
with known outcropping mineralisation and historic
workings from the early 1900’s which have seen no
modern exploration.
Results to date indicate that there may be a related,
large scale, Proterozoic Cu-Au-Ag-Bi-Sb-Co system
at Tarraji-Yampi, similar to Cloncurry / Mt Isa in
Queensland and Tennant Creek in the Northern
Territory.
Illaara Gold, VMS & Iron Ore Project
Illaara is located 190km northwest of Kalgoorlie in
the Yilgarn Craton and covers 75kms of strike along
the Illaara Greenstone Belt. Illaara is prospective for
typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits,
VMS base metals and critical metals including
Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum.
has
consolidated
Illaara
Dreadnought
Greenstone Belt mainly through an acquisition from
Newmont. Prior to Newmont, the Illaara Greenstone
Belt was predominantly held by iron ore explorers
and remains highly prospective for iron ore.
the
Mangaroon Ni-Cu-PGE, REE & Au Project
Mangaroon is a first mover opportunity covering ~4,500sq kms of tenure located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the
Gascoyne Region of WA. During the region’s early history, there was limited government support for exploration resulting
in the region being vastly underexplored.
Since acquiring the project in late 2020, Dreadnought has located: outcropping high-grade gold bearing quartz veins along
the Edmund and Minga Bar Faults; outcropping high tenor Ni-Cu-PGE blebby sulphides in the recently defined Money
Intrusion; and outcropping high-grade REE ironstones, similar to those under development at the Yangibana REE Project.
Rocky Dam Gold & VMS Project (“Rocky Dam”)
Rocky Dam is located 45km east of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane of Western Australia. Rocky Dam is
prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and Cu-Zn VMS mineralisation. Rocky Dam has known
gold and VMS occurrences with drill ready gold targets including the recently defined CRA-North Gold Prospect.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Remuneration report – audited
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:
A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
B Details of remuneration
C Share-based compensation
D Shareholdings
E Use of Remuneration Consultants
F Relationship between remuneration and Company performance
G Key Management Personnel Loan
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations
Act 2001.
A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The Group's policy for determining the nature and amounts of remuneration of board members and senior executive
officers of the Group is as follows:
The Company's Constitution specifies that the total amount of remuneration of non-executive directors shall be fixed from
time to time by a general meeting. The current maximum aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors has been
set at $300,000 per annum. Directors may apportion any amount up to this maximum amount amongst the non-executive
directors as they determine. Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other
expenses incurred in performing their duties as directors.
Non-executive and executive directors’ remuneration is by way of fees and statutory superannuation contributions. The
Company’s Incentive Options Plan (‘Plan”) was approved by shareholders on 16 August 2019. Directors may be eligible
to participate in the Incentive Options Plan.
The Company's remuneration structure is based on a number of factors including the financial position of the Company
and the particular experience and performance of the individual in meeting key objectives of the Company. The Board is
responsible for assessing relevant employment market conditions and achieving the overall, long term objective of
maximising shareholder benefits, through the retention of high quality personnel.
The Company does not presently emphasise payment for results through the provision of cash bonus schemes or other
incentive payments based on key performance indicators of the Company given the nature of the Company's business
as a mineral exploration entity. However, the Board may approve the payment of cash bonuses from time to time in order
to reward individual executive performance in achieving key objectives as considered appropriate by the Board.
The Company also has an Employee Incentive Option Plan approved by shareholders on 16 August 2019 that enables
the Board to offer eligible employees and directors options to acquire ordinary fully paid shares in the Company. Under
the terms of the Plan, options for ordinary fully paid shares may be offered to the Company's eligible employees at no
cost or no more than nominal monetary consideration unless otherwise determined by the Board in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Plan. The objective of the Plan is to align the interests of employees and shareholders by
providing employees of the Company with the opportunity to participate in the equity of the Company as an incentive to
achieve greater success and profitability for the Company and to maximise the long term performance of the Company.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Remuneration report – audited (continued)
Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting
Dreadnought Resources Limited received more than 98% of ‘yes’ votes on its remuneration report for the 2020 financial
year. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.
B Details of remuneration
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each key management person of the Company.
The names and positions held by directors and key management personnel of the Company during the financial year are:
Mr P Chapman – Chairman, non-executive (appointed 9 April 2019)
Mr D Tuck – Managing Director (appointed 9 April 2019)
Mr I Gordon – Director, non-executive (since 21 December 2017)
Mr P Payne – Director, non-executive (since 21 December 2017)
The remuneration policy of the Group has been designed to align directors’ objectives with shareholder and business
objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates.
By providing components of remuneration that are indirectly linked to share price appreciation (in the form of options and/or
performance rights), executive, business and shareholder objectives are aligned. The Board of Directors (“Board”) believes
the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors to run and
manage the Company, as well as create goal congruence between directors and shareholders.
The remuneration policy and the relevant terms and conditions has been developed by the full Board as the Company
does not have a Remuneration Committee due to the size of the Company and the Board. In determining competitive
remuneration rates, the Board reviews trends among comparative companies and industry generally. It examines terms
and conditions for employee incentive schemes, benefit plans and share plans. Reviews are performed to confirm that
executive remuneration is in line with market practice and is reasonable in the context of Australian executive reward
practices.
The Company is an exploration entity, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. Consistent with attracting and
retaining talented executives, directors and senior executives are paid market rates associated with individuals in similar
positions, within the same industry.
(a) Executive remuneration – Mr D Tuck (appointed 9 April 2019)
Mr Dean Tuck, Managing Director, was employed by the Group in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined
within his service agreement dated 9 April 2019. For the year ended 30 June 2021, Mr Tuck received a base salary of
$200,000 in short term remuneration (2020: $160,000), with a further $19,000 in post-employment superannuation
contributions (2020: $12,000). Both parties may terminate the employment agreement by giving notice of termination to
each other on not less than one (1) months’ notice in writing.
On 16 August 2019, the Group granted the Managing Director 10,500,000 unlisted incentive options exercisable at $0.005
on or before 30 June 2024 vesting immediately, with a fair value of $51,331. 4,000,000 of these options were exercised
during the year.
In August 2019, the Company also granted the Managing Director 30,000,000 unlisted incentive options exercisable at
$0.005 on or before 9 April 2021 with a fair value of $177,184. Both tranches of incentive options were granted in order
to align the long term interests of the Managing Director to that of the Group (together hereafter referred to as the ‘long
term incentive options’).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Remuneration report – audited (continued)
(a) Executive remuneration – Mr D Tuck (continued)
As per the Group’s Notice of Meeting dated 22 November 2019, it was identified that the issue of the above 30,000,000
unlisted incentive options should have been for a 5-year term rather than for the 2-year term granted. At the General
Meeting held 23 December 2019, it was approved to cancel these incentive options and issue the Managing Director with
new incentive Options.
Due to an administrative oversight, the previous long term incentive options vested immediately when they were granted
to the Managing Director and the total expense associated with these incentive options of $177,184 was recognised at
30 June 2020. On 23 December 2019, the Board has approved the revised long term incentive option plan whereby his
ability to exercise the 40,500,000 long term incentive options would be subject to the following conditions:
10,500,000 unlisted incentive options
- Vest immediately and may be exercised after grant date
-
The options expire on 30 June 2024
30,000,000 unlisted incentive options
-
-
-
-
-
25% may be exercised on or after 30 June 2020
A further 25% may be exercised on or after 30 June 2021
A further 25% may be exercised on or after 30 June 2022
The remaining 25% may be exercised on or after 30 June 2023
The options expire on 9 April 2024
(b) Non-Executive remuneration
The agreements in place with the non-executive chairman, Paul Chapman and the non-executive directors, Ian Gordon
and Paul Payne are summarised below:
-
-
-
-
Term of agreement is renewed annually
Fee of $3,000 per month (plus minimum statutory superannuation entitlements)

During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Chairman, Paul Chapman elected to receive 5,479,452 options in lieu of a cash
payment of $36,000 in fees and other employee expenses.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated Financial Statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. The
Financial Statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Dreadnought Resources Limited and its subsidiaries.
(a)
Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the
Corporations Act 2001. Dreadnought Resources Limited is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the
financial statements.
(i) Compliance with IFRS
These consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
(ii) Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis, under the historical cost convention,
as modified by the revaluation of financial assets through other comprehensive income.
(iii) Critical accounting estimates
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future
events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the
Group.
(b)
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company and Consolidated
Group will have sufficient funds to pay its debts, as and when they become payable, for a period of at least 12 months
from the date the financial report is authorised for issue.
As at 30 June 2021, the Consolidated Group had net assets of $12,158,775 (2020: $4,596,252) and a working capital
surplus of $2,366,294 (2020: working capital deficit of $508,249). Included in non-current liabilities as at 30 June 2021
are Convertible Notes of $578,947 which have been fully converted into ordinary shares subsequent to year end. In
addition, during the financial year, the Consolidated Group had cash outflows from operating activities of $456,356
(2020: $542,996) and cash outflows from investing activities (including payments for exploration) of $6,002,984 (2020:
2,549,285).
On 14 September 2021, the Company announced a placement at $0.035 to institutional and sophisticated investors
raising $8,000,000 (before costs). The Group’s cash flow forecast out to 30 September 2022 indicates that the Group
will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12-month period from
the date of signing this financial report.
To address the future funding requirements of the Group, the directors have:
developed a business plan that provides encouragement for investors to invest; and
continued their focus on maintaining an appropriate level of corporate overheads and projects spending in line
with the Group’s available cash resources.
Based on the cash flow forecasts, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.
In determining the appropriateness of the basis of preparation, the Directors have considered the impact of the COVID-
19 pandemic on the position of the Group at 30 June 2021 and its operations in future periods.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Basis of Consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent and all of its subsidiaries. The Parent controls a subsidiary
if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those
returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June. 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.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling
interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises
the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in
profit or loss. Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are
recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets
that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners
of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
(d)
Investments in joint arrangements
Joint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture where unanimous
decisions about relevant activities are required. Separate joint venture entities providing joint ventures with an interest to
net assets are classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method.
Joint operations represent arrangements whereby joint operators maintain direct interests in each asset and exposure to
each liability of the arrangement. The Group’s interests in assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint operations are
included in the respective line items of the consolidated financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from sales to a
joint operation are recognised to the extent of the other parties’ interests. When the Group makes purchases from a joint
operation, it does not recognise its share of the gains and losses from the joint arrangement until it resells those
goods/assets to a third party.
(e)
Comparative Amounts
Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated. Where a change in comparatives has also affected
the opening retained earnings previously presented in a comparative period, an opening statement of financial position at
the earliest date of the comparative period has been presented.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f)
Income Tax
The tax expense recognised in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income relates to current income
tax expense plus deferred tax expense (being the movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused
tax losses during the year).
Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (tax loss) for
the year and is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using
the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences which are determined by comparing the carrying amounts
of tax bases of assets and liabilities to the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset
is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax consequences relating to a non-monetary asset carried at fair value are determined using the
assumption that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered through sale.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent
that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and
losses can be utilised.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised
amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legal right to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied
by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either
to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are
expected to be settled or recovered.
Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period
except where the tax arises from a transaction which is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity,
in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity respectively.
Dreadnought Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax
consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own current and
deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach to
allocation.
Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the
subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity.
The tax consolidated group has entered into a tax funding arrangement whereby each company in the Group
contributes to the income tax payable by the Group in proportion to their contribution to the Group’s taxable
income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts
recognised pursuant to the funding arrangement are recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to
the head entity.

(g)
Leases
The Group as lessee
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains a lease or is a lease. If there is a lease
present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability are recognised by the Group where the Group
is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short-term leases (i.e. a lease with a remaining lease
term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Initially the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at the
commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate
cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows:
•
•
fixed lease payments less any lease incentives;
variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the
commencement date;
the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options;
lease payments under extension options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to
terminate the lease.
•
•
•
•
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, any lease
payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. The subsequent
measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the
shortest. Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects
that the Group anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life
of the underlying asset.
(h)
Revenue and other income (including government grants)
Revenue is recognised when or as the Group transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount
to which the Group expected to be entitled. If the consideration promised includes a variable amount, the Group
estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled.
Revenue is measured at the transaction price received or receivable (which excludes estimates of variable
consideration) allocated to the performance obligation satisfied and represents amounts receivable for services
provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT, GST and other sales related taxes. Where
the expected period between transfer of a promised service and payment from the customer is one year or
less no adjustment for a financing component is made.
Revenue arising from the provision of services is recognised when and to the extent that the customer
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Group’s performance or the Group does not create
an asset with an alternative use but has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
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.
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Government assistance revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is
established.

(i)
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except
where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables
in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows in the statement of cash flows are included on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows
arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority
is classified as operating cash flows.
(j)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Where the cost model is used, the asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any
impairment losses. Costs include purchase price, other directly attributable costs and the initial estimate of the
costs of dismantling and restoring the asset, where applicable.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is measured on a cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed
annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets’ employment and
subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining
recoverable amounts.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amounts or recognised as separate assets as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the
Group and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial year in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment, except for freehold land is depreciated on a
reducing balance method from the date that management determine that the asset is available for use. The
depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets vary from 25% to 40%. Where the asset qualifies
for the ATO instant write-off deduction, it is written off in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income.
(k)
Financial instruments
Classification and Measurement
Under AASB 9, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not
at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Under AASB 9, debt financial instruments are
subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), amortised cost, or fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Classification is based on two criteria:
The Group’s business model for managing the assets; and
Whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ on
the principal amount outstanding (the ‘SPPI criterion’).

(k)
Financial instruments (continued)
The classification and measurement of the Group’s debt financial assets are, as follows:
Debt instruments are amortised cost for financial assets that are held within a business model with the
objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion.
This category includes the Group’s trade and other receivables.
Other financial assets are classified and subsequently measured, as follows:
Equity instruments at FVOCI, with no recycling of gains or losses to profit or loss on derecognition. This
category only includes equity instruments which the Group has irrevocably elected to so classify upon initial
recognition or transition.
Impairment
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit losses for all trade
receivables as these items do not have a significant financing component.
Where applicable, in measuring the expected credit losses, the trade receivables are assessed on a collective
basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics. They are grouped based on the days past due.
The expected loss rates are based on the historic payment profile for as well as the corresponding historical
credit losses during that period. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect current and forwarding looking
macroeconomic factors affecting the customer’s ability to settle the amount outstanding.
Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Failure to make
payments within 180 days from the invoice date and failure to engage with the Group on alternative payment
arrangement amongst others is considered indicators of no reasonable expectation of recovery.
Compound financial instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible notes that can be converted to
ordinary shares at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary
with changes in fair value.
The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognised at the fair value of a similar
liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognised at the
difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the
liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity
components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument
is not remeasured.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognised in profit or loss. On conversion at maturity, the financial
liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognised.

(l)
Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment,
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets
are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to
sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for
which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from
other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered
an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(m)
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short term, highly liquid investments
with original maturities of twelve months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Any bank overdrafts the
Group have are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
(n)
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 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service.
Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries and non-monetary benefits. 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 long service leave are included in other long term benefits as they are not expected
to be settled wholly within twelve 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. Any re-measurements arising from experience adjustments and changes
in assumptions are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.
The Group presents employee benefit obligations as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if
the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve (12) months after the
reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place.

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021
1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(o)
Loss per share
Dreadnought Resources Ltd presents basic and diluted loss per share information for its ordinary shares.
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect
of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted
average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of
all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(p)
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares
and share options which vest immediately are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(q)
Share-Based Payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees and non-
employees. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and
recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The
fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black
Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The amount to be expensed is
determined by reference to the fair value of the options or shares granted. This expense takes in account any
market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but ignores the effect of any
service and non-market performance vesting conditions.
Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account when considering the number of options expected to
vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of options which are
expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. Revisions to the prior period estimate are
recognised in profit or loss and equity.
If the Group modifies the terms or conditions of the equity instruments granted in a manner that reduces the
total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is not otherwise beneficial to the employee, the
Group shall nevertheless continue to account for the services received as consideration for the equity
instruments granted as if that modification had not occurred. In addition, the Group recognises the effect of
modifications that increase the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or are otherwise
beneficial to the employee.
(r)
Exploration and development expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable
area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped
through successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that
permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. As the asset is not
available for use it is not depreciated or amortised.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are impaired in full against profit or loss in the period in
which the decision to abandon that area is made.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry
forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

(s)
Reserves
FVOCI reserves represent financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income reserve. The
reserve records fair value change of equity instruments. The equity reserve represents the equity component
(conversion rights) on the issue of unsecured convertible notes.
(t)
Key estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and
judgments. These estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience
and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will,
by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year are discussed below:
(i) Estimated impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may
lead to impairment of assets as noted in note 1(l). Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount
of the asset is determined.
(ii) Exploration and evaluation
The Group policy for exploration and evaluation is discussed in note 1(r). The application of this policy requires
management to make certain assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and
assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised exploration and
evaluation expenditure, management concludes that the capitalised expenditure is unlikely to be recovered by
future sale or exploration, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off through the statement of profit
or loss.
(iii) Compound financial instrument
The Group’s policy for compound financial instrument is discussed in Note 1(k). The fair value of the liability
component is determined based on the contractual stream of future cash flows which is discounted at the rate
of interest that would apply to an identical financial instrument without the conversion option. The Group uses
its judgement to determine the discount rate based on the market interest rates existing at the end of each
reporting period.
(iv) Estimation of tax losses carried forward
Potential future income tax benefits attributable to gross tax losses of $34,722,472 (2020: $27,992,307) carried
forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2021 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate
to regard realisation of the future tax benefit as probable. These benefits will only be obtained if:
a.
the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit
from the losses and deductions to be released;
the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and
no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for
the losses.
b.
c.
Tax losses carried forward have no expiry date.

(u)
Joint control
The Group’s accounting policy for Joint Arrangements is set out in Note 1(d). AASB 11 Joint Arrangements
requires an investor to have contractually agreed the sharing of control when making decisions about the
relevant activities (in other words requiring the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control). However,
what these activities are is a matter of judgement. As at the reporting date 30 June 2021, the Group does not
have any Joint Arrangements as defined in this policy. While there are agreements in place with other parties
(for the Group’s 80% interest in certain tenements which form part of it’s Tarraji-Yampi project), there is no joint
control over decisions about relevant activities required to progress these projects. For the Tarraji-Yampi
project, it is the view of the Group that it controls this project through its 80% interest.

Financial report
The financial report was authorised for issue on 29 September 2021 by the Board of Directors.

Adoption of new and revised accounting standards and interpretations
In the year ended 30 June 2021, the directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and
Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 July 2021. As a result of this review, the directors have determined that there is no
material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no material
change is necessary to the Group’s accounting policies.
(x)
New accounting standards and interpretations that are not yet mandatory
The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued
but is not yet effective.
Amendments to AASB 101 clarify the criteria used to determine whether liabilities are classified as current or
non-current. These amendments clarify that current or non-current classification is based on whether an entity
has a right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after
the reporting period. The amendments also clarify that ‘settlement’ includes the transfer of cash, goods,
services, or equity instruments unless the obligation to transfer equity instruments arises from a conversion
feature classified as an equity instrument separately from the liability component of a compound financial
instrument. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

A deferred tax liability of $nil (2020: $45,168) was recognised in equity during the financial year.
A deferred tax asset (DTA) has not been recognised in respect of temporary differences as they do not meet the recognition
criteria per AASB 112 Income Taxes. A DTA has not been recognised in respect of tax losses as realisation of the benefit
is not regarded as probable.
The Group is part of a tax consolidated group in accordance with the tax consolidation legislation. The Group has
unrecognised assessed gross tax losses of $34,722,472 (2020: $27,992,307) that are available indefinitely for offset against
future taxable profits of the Group.
The tax rates applicable to each potential tax benefit are as follows:
Timing differences – 26%;
Tax losses – 26%.
The Group has JMEI credits available from the Australian Taxation Office of $750,000 in respect of the year ending 30 June
2022 (2021: $600,000). The JMEI entitles Australian resident investors in eligible minerals exploration companies to obtain
either a refundable tax offset or (where the Eligible Investor is a corporate tax entity) franking credits.
The maximum amount of credit the Group can create in the 2022 year is the lesser of the following:
(a) 2022 greenfield exploration expenditure x 26% tax rate;
(b) 2022 tax loss x 26% tax rate; or
(c) JMEI credits of $750,000.

The Group received a total amount of $600,000 from issuing Convertible Notes in June 2019. The issue of Convertible
Notes was approved by shareholders in August 2019. Each of the Convertible Notes carries a face value of $1.00
with an annual interest rate of 10% and maturity date of 2 July 2021. On 8 April 2021, the maturity date was extended
to 1 July 2022. The holder may elect to convert the Convertible Notes into shares at $0.0055 per share. Upon the
occurrence of default, the lender may require immediate redemption of all outstanding Convertible Notes together
with all interest and other outstanding moneys to be immediately due and payable to the lender. The Convertible
Notes were determined to be a compound financial instrument, resulting in a split between liability and equity
components (Note 1(k)). The fair value of the liability component is determined based on the contractual future cash
flows which is discounted at the rate of interest (14%) that would apply to an identical financial instrument without the
conversion option. At 30 June 2021, $55,719 was attributed to equity component.
On 26 July 2021, the Convertible Loan Note holders elected to convert their Convertible Notes into 109,090,909 fully
paid ordinary shares thereby reducing debt by $600,000 to nil.

16 Financial Risk Management (continued)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty
in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Group’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become
due. The Group maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 30-day periods. The Group manages its
liquidity needs by carefully monitoring long-term financial liabilities as well as cash-outflows due in day-to-day business.
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 period are identified monthly. At
the reporting date, these reports indicate that the Group expected to have sufficient liquid resources to meet its
obligations under all reasonably expected circumstances.
The Group’s assets and liabilities have contractual maturities which are summarised below:

All of the Group transactions are carried out in Australian Dollars, therefore the Group is not exposed to foreign
exchange risk.
(ii) Cash flow interest rate sensitivity
The Company received shareholders’ approval for the issuance of 600,000 Convertible Notes on 16 August 2019.
The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates cash flow are not affected as the Convertible Notes carry fixed interest at a
rate of 10% per annum. Interest rate risk on cash and cash equivalents is not considered to be a material risk due
to the short term nature of these financial instruments.
(iii) Price sensitivity
The Group is not exposed to price sensitivity.

16 Financial Risk Management (continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to
the Group.
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and
financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables
and committed transactions. Management considers that all the financial assets that are not impaired for each of the
reporting dates under review are of good credit quality, including those that are past due. The credit risk for liquid
funds and other short-term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks
with high quality external credit ratings. The long term and short term ratings is AA- and A-1+ respectively (Source:
S&P Global Ratings).
Fair value estimation
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared
to their carrying values as presented in the consolidated statement of financial position. Fair values are those amounts
at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length
transaction.
Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgement, where changes in
assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Areas of judgement and the assumptions have
been detailed below. Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is extracted from the market,
with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Dreadnought Resources
Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Dreadnought Resources 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 comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to
the financial 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:
(i)
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its
performance for the year then ended; and
(ii)
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the
Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
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.
57
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Funding and Liquidity
Refer to note 1b
Dreadnought Resources Limited is a Company
limited by shares, incorporated in Australia. The
Company is engaged in exploration activities on its
three projects, the Tarraji-Yampi Ni-Cu-Au Project
located in the highly prospective West Kimberley,
the Mangaroon Ni-Cu-PGE-REE-Au Project located
southeast of Exmouth, and the Illaara Au-Cu-Ta-
Iron Ore Project located northwest of Kalgoorlie.
The investee’s activities have not yet advanced to a
stage where it is able to generate revenue,
accordingly the Group is reliant on funding from
external sources, such as capital raisings, to support
its operations. We focused on whether the Group
had sufficient cash resources and access to funding
to allow the Group to continue as a going concern.
The adequacy of funding and liquidity as well as the
relevant impact on the going concern assessment is
a key audit matter due to the inherent uncertainties
associated with the future development of the
Group’s projects and the level of funding required to
support that development.
We evaluated the Group’s funding and liquidity
position at 30 June 2021 and its ability to repay its
debts as and when they fall due for a minimum of
12 months from the date of signing the financial
report. Our procedures included, amongst others:
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
obtaining management’s cash flow forecast for
the 18 months from the commencement of the
2021 financial year;
evaluating the reliability and accuracy of the
to prepare
data and assumptions used
management’s forecasts by comparing them to
financial information in current and prior years
as well as to our understanding of the Group’s
future plans and operating conditions;
observing and confirming that management has
the ability to reduce its discretionary costs and
exploration costs to conserve the Company’s
cash;
observing that the Company has sufficient cash
to meet its minimum exploration commitments;
and
considering events subsequent to year end to
determine whether any additional facts or
information have become available since the
its
date on which management made
assessment.
Capitalisation of exploration assets
Our procedures included, amongst others:
Refer to note 9

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report
and the 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 the
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.
