Review of Operations 

1.1 

Strategy and Objectives 

The Company remains in a strong position to build shareholder value from measured exploration and mining studies focused 
on  our  current  nickel/copper/PGE  assets.  The  Company  continues  to  methodically  de-risk  the  technical  attributes  of  the 
mineral resources the company has and prosecute the exploration tenure for additions to this portfolio. The Company remains 
in a strong position of having a technically de-risked portfolio of projects at varying stages of understanding and continues to 
have the appropriate personnel to take full advantage of those opportunities as they develop.  

During the year  ended  30  June  2022 the  Company  has  actively pursued  multiple  internal  and  external opportunities. The 
Company remains focused on creating value through advancing its internal pipeline of opportunities including the following:  

• Expanding known nickel deposits through targeted extensions to Rosie and C2;  

• Studying mining scenarios of Rosie and C2 both individually and combined; 

• Discovering new nickel deposits through regional work in the Bulge area and other new areas; and 

• Opportunistically acquiring tenements on prospective ground within Western Australia. 

The  Company’s  primary  objective  continues  to  focus  on  achieving  returns  for  shareholders  through  focused  proactive 
exploration and  advancement  of mining  studies  in  the  Duketon  Belt  whilst maintaining  a  watch  over potential  acquisitions 
outside of this area. 

We are uniquely de-risked technically with respect to nickel within the Duketon Belt and surrounding areas.  

The Company’s tenement and nickel rights are within the Duketon Greenstone Belt in an area immediately north of the town 
of Laverton. The Company believes that there is considerable upside in the areas covered by these and continues to review 
the tenements to further understand the geological potential and mineralising controls with the intention of unlocking additional 
value from within the Company’s current and future asset base.  

Economic  nickel  sulphides  have  already  been  found  within  the  Duketon  tenements  at  Rosie  and  C2  prospects.  These 
discoveries show the further upside potential of the tenement package that Duketon controls.  

During the second half of 2021 drilling focused on Rosie and in particular was focused on the upper zones of the mineralisation 
within the weathered profile above the resource and at depth confirming that Rosie continues at depth. During the second half 
of the year the Rosie Mineral Resource was updated to incorporate some of this new drilling. The total Mineral Resource that 
Duketon has at the C2 and Rosie deposits (see below), is now 94,300t of nickel, 14,100t of copper and 255,200oz of PGEs 
(see ASX announcement 10 March 2022). 

Towards the end of the year Phase 1 of moving loop electro-magnetic (MLEM) survey was completed north of the Rosie and 
C2 resources. Multiple MLEM anomalies were identified in the area and prepared for drill testing in the second half of 2022 
(see ASX announcement 4 April 2022). Phase two of this program is scheduled for the next year.  

Late in the year the Company announced the grant of a tenement to the north of the Duketon project called Tate (see ASX 
announcement 28 April 2022).  The tenement covers 213 km2 and encompasses the region between DKM’s northernmost 
tenement  and  Cannon  Resources  (ASX:CNR)  southern-most  tenement.  The  area  hosts  two  large  mafic  intrusions  and  is 
prospective for intrusion related nickel, copper, and PGE’s.

Exploration 

1.2.1  Rosie 

The Rosie deposit is situated approximately 110km north of Laverton, Western Australia. The project can be accessed via 
sealed and formed gravel roads from either Leonora or Laverton.  

Mineralisation at Rosie consists of disseminated, matrix, stringer and brecciated massive Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides at, or adjacent 
to,  the  contact  of  the  Bulge  ultramafic  complex,  interpreted  to  be  a  classic  komatiitic  lava  channel  style  nickel  sulphide 
mineralisation. 

The Rosie Mineral Resource was reviewed and recalculated in March 2022 (see Tables 1 and 2).

1.2.2  C2 

The C2 deposit is situated approximately 2km to the north of Rosie and consists of a series of disseminated, blebby and matrix 
sulphide zones within and proximal to the contacts of the ultramafic complex. Three broad zones of mineralisation have been 
interpreted. 

During 2015 the Company published the initial Mineral Resource estimate for the C2 resource. This Inferred Mineral Resource 
estimate at C2 is 5.7 million tonnes averaging 0.7% nickel, 0.04% copper and 0.14g/t platinum and palladium for a contained 
38,000 tonnes of nickel and associated copper, platinum and palladium (see Tables 4 and 5). This represents the in-situ 
undiluted Mineral Resource at 0.5% nickel cut-off (see Tables 4 and 5). Nickel mineralisation is robust and continuous. 

The total Mineral Resource for the Duketon project, comprising C2 and the Rosie deposit (see ASX Announcement 10 March 
2022), is now 94,300t of nickel, 14,100t of copper and 255,200oz of PGEs.

Risk Management 
The board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that activities are aligned 
with the risks and opportunities identified by the board. 
The Company believes that it is crucial for all board members to be a part of this process, and as such the board has not 
established a separate risk management committee. 
The board has numerous mechanisms in place to ensure that management's objectives and activities are aligned with the 
risks identified by the board.  These include the following: 
•  Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses strategy statements designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and 

manage business risk. 
Implementation of board approved operating plans and budgets and board monitoring of progress against these budgets. 

•

Project and mineral tenements with the objective of developing a significant mining operation and any significant information 
or data will be released to the market and the shareholders pursuant to the Continuous Disclosure rules as and when they 
come to hand. 

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

ensure the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved, and in doing so, that it is aware of and is in compliance 
with all environmental legislation. The directors of the Company are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 
2001. 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
Remuneration Policy 
The remuneration policy of Duketon Mining Limited has been designed to align key management personnel objectives with 
shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives 
based on key performance areas affecting the Company’s financial results. The board of Duketon Mining Limited believes the 
remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best key management personnel to 
run and manage the Company. 
The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives (if any) 
of the Company is as follows: 
The  remuneration  policy,  setting  the  terms  and  conditions  for  the  executive  directors,  was  developed  by  the  board.  All 
executives  receive  a  base  salary  (which  is  based  on  factors  such  as  length  of  service,  performance  and  experience) and 
superannuation.  The  board  reviews  executive  packages  annually  by  reference  to  the  Company’s  performance,  executive 
performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. 
The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract 
and retain the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder 
wealth. 
The directors and executives (if any) receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which was 
10% for the 2022 financial year. Some individuals may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards 
superannuation. 

16 

 
   
 
 
 
Directors’ Report (Cont’d) 

All remuneration paid to key management personnel is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options are valued 
using the Black-Scholes methodology. 
The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment 
and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, 
based  on market  practice,  duties  and  accountability. Independent  external  advice is  sought  when  required.  The maximum 
aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is (currently $300,000) and set in accordance with the 
constitution of the Company. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to 
align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. 

Performance based remuneration  
The  Company  currently  has  no  performance-based  remuneration  component  built  into  key  management  personnel 
remuneration packages. 

Company performance, shareholder wealth and key management personnel remuneration 
The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  the  direct  positive  relationship  between  shareholders’  investment 
objectives and key management personnel performance. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options to the majority 
of key management personnel to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this 
policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth.  If the Company were to commence mine production, performance-
based bonuses based on key performance indicators are expected to be introduced. For details of key management personnel 
interests in options at year end, refer to the ‘Option holdings’ section later in the Remuneration Report. 
The table below shows the gross revenue, profits or losses and earnings per share for the last five years for the listed entity.

Notes to the Financial Statements 

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have 
been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Company 
consisting of Duketon Mining Limited. The financial statements are presented in Australian currency. Duketon Mining Limited 
is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia.  The financial statements were authorised for issue 
by the directors on 12 September 2022. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

(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 and the Corporations Act 2001. Duketon Mining Limited 
is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 

(i) Compliance with IFRS 
The financial statements of Duketon Mining Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

(ii) New and amended standards adopted by the Company 
The Company has adopted all the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB 
that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. The Company did not have to change 
its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards. 

(iii) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2022 reporting 
periods and have not been early adopted by the Company. The Company’s assessment of the impact of these new standards 
and interpretations is that they are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods 
and on foreseeable future transactions.  

(iv) Historical cost convention 
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and 
liabilities measured at fair value. 

(b) Segment reporting 
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision 
maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the 
operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director. 

(c) Revenue recognition 
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial assets. 

(d) Government grants 
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be 
received, and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. 

(e) Income tax 
The income tax expense or revenue for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the applicable 
income  tax  rate  for  each  jurisdiction  adjusted  by  changes  in  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  attributable  to  temporary 
differences and to unused tax losses. 
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the 
reporting  period  in  the  countries  where  the  Company  operates  and  generates  taxable  income.  Management  periodically 
evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation 
and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Company measures 
its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better 
prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of 
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is 
not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination 
that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using 
tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when 
the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the deferred income tax liability is settled. 
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. 
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of 
investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences 
and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities 
and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where 
the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle 
the liability simultaneously. 
Current  and  deferred  tax  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss,  except  to  the  extent  that  it  relates  to  items  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly 
in equity, respectively. 

(f) Leases 
The Company leases office premises with a three-year term that commenced on 1 July 2021. Upon commencement of the 
lease the Company recognised a lease liability for this lease, measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, 
discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, being 6.5%. 
Where the Company is lessee, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which 
the lease asset is available for use by the  Company. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and the 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. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful 
life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. 
Liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of 
the following lease payments: 

• 

• 

• 

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

variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate; 

amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; 

the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and 

• 
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option. 
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s 
incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain 
an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. 
The Company’s office lease agreement contains an option for the lessee to extend for a further two-year term. 
Right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before 
commencement date less any lease incentives received, and any initial direct costs. 
Where the terms of a lease require the Company to restore the underlying asset, or the Company has an obligation to dismantle 
and remove a leased asset, a provision is recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 137. To the extent that the 
costs relate to a right-of-use asset, the costs are included in the related right-of-use asset. 
Where leases have a term of less than 12 months or relate to low value assets the Company may apply exemptions in AASB 
16 to not capitalise any such leases and instead recognise the lease payments on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit 
or loss.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 

(g) Impairment of assets 
Assets are reviewed 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 
that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. 

(h) Cash and cash equivalents 
For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call 
with financial institutions and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are 
readily  convertible  to  known  amounts  of  cash  and  which  are  subject  to  insignificant  risk  of  changes  in  value,  and  bank 
overdrafts. 

(i) Financial assets 

(i) Classification 
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: 

• 

Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss); and 

Those to be measured at amortised cost. 

• 
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the 
cash flows. 
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity 
instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the 
time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). 

(ii) Recognition and derecognition 
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits 
to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets 
have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 

(iii) Measurement 
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair 
value  through  profit  or  loss  (FVPL),  transaction  costs  that  are  directly  attributable  to  the acquisition  of  the  financial  asset. 
Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. 
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in  their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are 
solely payment of principal and interest. 
Debt instruments 
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the 
cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt 
instruments: 

• 

• 

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely 
payments  of  principal  and  interest  are  measured  at  amortised  cost.  Interest  income  from  these  financial  assets  is 
included  in  finance  income  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Any  gain  or  loss  arising  on  derecognition  is 
recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other income or expenses. Impairment losses are presented as a 
separate line item in the statement of profit or loss. 

FVOCI:  Assets  that  are  held  for  collection  of  contractual  cash  flows  and  for  selling  the  financial  assets,  where  the 
assets’  cash  flows  represent solely payments  of  principal and  interest,  are  measured  at FVOCI.  Movements in  the 
carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and 
foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, 
the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in 
other income or expenses. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective 
interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other income or expenses and impairment 
losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss. 

30 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 

• 

FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt 
investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other income 
or expenses in the period in which it arises. 

Equity instruments 
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to 
present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains 
and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be 
recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company’s right to receive payment is established. 
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other income or expenses in the statement of profit or 
loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not 
reported separately from other changes in fair value. 

(iv) Impairment 
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at 
amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit 
risk. 

(j) Plant and equipment 
All  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  historical  cost  less  depreciation.  Historical  cost  includes  expenditure  that  is  directly 
attributable to the acquisition of the items. 
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it 
is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be 
measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. 
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the reporting period in which 
they are incurred. 
Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, 
net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant 
and equipment, the shorter lease term. The rates used range from 10% to 36% per annum. 
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. 
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(g)). 
Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are  determined  by  comparing  proceeds  with  carrying  amount.  These  are  included  in  the 
statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is Company’s policy to transfer the amounts included 
in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings. 

(k) Exploration and evaluation costs 
Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as they are incurred. 

(l) Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which 
are unpaid. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured, non-
interest bearing and are paid on normal commercial terms. 

(m) Employee benefits 

(i) Short-term obligations 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months 
of the reporting date in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be 
paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the statement of 
financial position. 

31 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 

(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations 
The Company also has liabilities for long service leave that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the 
end of the period in which the employees render the related service. These obligations are therefore measured as the present 
value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting 
period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of 
employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the 
reporting period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated 
future  cash  outflows.  Remeasurements  as  a  result  of  experience  adjustments  and  changes  in  actuarial  assumptions  are 
recognised in profit or loss. 
The obligations are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the statement of financial position if the entity does 
not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when 
the actual settlement is expected to occur. 

(iii)  Share-based payments 
The  Company  provides  benefits  to  employees  (including  directors)  of  the  Company  in  the  form  of  share-based  payment 
transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).  
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which 
they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. 
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which 
the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award 
(‘vesting date’). 
The cumulative  expense  recognised for equity-settled  transactions  at  each  reporting  date  until vesting  date reflects  (i)  the 
extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of options that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, 
will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for 
the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of 
fair value at grant date. 
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market 
condition. 
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not 
yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and 
designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a 
modification of the original award. 

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

(o) Earnings per share 

(i) Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs 
of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during  the 
financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. 

(ii) Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of 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 shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 

(p) Goods and Services Tax (GST) 
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of 
the expense. 
Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation  authority  is  included  with  other  receivables  or  payables  in  the  statement  of 
financial position. 
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities 
which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

(q) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 
The  preparation  of  these  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a 
higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where  assumptions  and  estimates  are  significant  to  the  financial 
statements are: 

Environmental issues 
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental 
legislation,  and  the  directors  understanding  thereof.  At  the  current  stage  of  the  Company’s  development  and  its  current 
environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate. 

Taxation generally 
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on the best estimates of the 
directors. These estimates consider both the financial performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current 
income  taxation  legislation,  and  the  directors  understanding  thereof.  No  adjustment  has  been  made  for  pending  or  future 
taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents the directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the 
Australian Taxation Office. 

Share based payment transactions 
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes 
option pricing model.

2.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price 
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial 
markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company. 
Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors as the Company believes that it is crucial for all board members 
to  be  involved  in  this  process.  Senior  management,  as  required,  has  responsibility  for  identifying,  assessing,  treating  and 
monitoring risks and reporting to the board on risk management. 

(a) Market risk 

(i) Foreign exchange risk 
As all operations are currently within Australia, the Company is not exposed to any material foreign exchange risk. 

(ii) Price risk 
The Company is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Company and classified in 
the statement of financial position at fair value through the profit and loss. The Company is not exposed to commodity price 
risk. At the reporting date, the Company has investments in ASX listed equity securities. 

Sensitivity analysis 
The  Company’s  equity  investments  are  listed  on  the  Australian  Stock  Exchange  (ASX)  and  are  all  classified  at  fair  value 
through the profit or loss. At 30 June 2022, if the value of the equity investments held had increased/decreased by 15% with 
all other variables held constant, post tax  profit for the Company would have been $330,573 higher/lower (2021: $981,751 
higher/lower) as a result of gains/losses on the fair value of the financial assets. 

(iii) Interest rate risk 
The Company is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s policy is to 
monitor the interest rate yield curve out to six months to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets 
and  the  interest  rate  return.  The  entire  balance  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  for  the  Company  of  $16,229,093  (2021: 
$20,823,389) is subject to interest rate risk. The proportional mix of floating interest rates and fixed rates to a maximum of six 
months  fluctuate  during  the  year  depending  on  current  working  capital  requirements.  The  weighted  average  interest  rate 
received on cash and cash equivalents by the Company was 0.1% (2021: 0.4%). 

Sensitivity analysis 
At 30 June 2022, if interest rates had changed by +/- 100 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all 
other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the Company would have been $179,232 lower/$26,773 higher (2021: $50,658 
higher/lower post tax profit on a +/- 25 basis point change) as a result of higher/lower interest income from cash and cash 
equivalents. 

(b) Credit risk 
The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the 
carrying amount (net of provision for impairment) of those assets as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes 
to the financial statements. 
As the Company does not presently have any debtors, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit 
risk management policy is not maintained. All surplus cash holdings of the Company  are currently invested with AA- rated 
financial institutions. 

(c) Liquidity risk 
The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash 
and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Company. Due to the nature of the 
Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary 
source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction 
with the Company’s current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. 
The financial liabilities of the Company are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the Statement of financial 
position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.

2.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d) 

(d) Fair value estimation 
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure 
purposes. The equity investments held by the Company are classified at fair value through profit or loss. The market value of 
all equity investments represents the fair value based on quoted prices on active markets (ASX) as at the reporting date without 
any deduction for transaction costs. These investments are classified as level 1 financial instruments. 
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows: 

Financial Assets 
Cash and cash equivalents 
Trade and other receivables 
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Non-current receivables 
Total Financial Assets 

Financial Liabilities

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are outlined below: 

Cash 
The carrying amount is fair value due to the liquid nature of these assets. 

Receivables/Payables 
Due to the short-term nature of the current financial rights and obligations, their carrying amounts are estimated to represent 
their fair values. The fair value of the non-current receivable is also not significantly different from its carrying amount.  

Fair value measurements of financial assets 
The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities of the Company approximate their fair values. Fair values of financial 
assets and liabilities have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes. 
Fair value hierarchy 
The Company classifies assets and liabilities carried at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of 
the  inputs  used  in  determining  that  value.  The  following  table  analyses  financial  instruments  carried  at  fair  value  by  the 
valuation method. The different levels in the hierarchy have been defined as follows: 
Level 1:  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 
Level 2:  

inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
(as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and 
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Potential  deferred  tax  assets attributable  to  tax losses carried  forward  have  not  been  brought  to  account  at  30  June  2022 
because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point 
in time. These benefits will only be obtained if: 
(i) 

the  Company  derives  future  assessable  income  of  nature  and  of  an  amount  sufficient  to  enable  the  benefits  to  be 
utilised; 
the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

In April 2017, the Australian Government enacted legislation which reduces the corporate rate for small and medium business 
(base rate) entities from 30% to 25% over the next decade. For the 2017 financial year the corporate tax rate reduced to 27.5% 
for small business entities with turnover less than $10 million. This turnover threshold progressively increased until it reached 
$50 million in the 2020 financial year. For the 2021 financial year, the tax rate decreased to 26% and then 25% for the 2022 
and later financial years. Duketon Mining Limited did not satisfy the criteria to be a base rate entity for the 2021 financial year 
and therefore applied the full corporate tax rate of 30%. Duketon Mining Limited has satisfied the criteria to be a base rate 
entity for the 2022 financial year and has therefore applied the base rate of 25%.

On 24 November 2021 the directors  and the company secretary exercised a total of 2,500,000 options utilising the 
cashless exercise facility approved at the AGM on 19 November 2021. This resulted in the issue of 615,576 ordinary 
shares. In accordance with the requirements of AASB 2, the utilisation of the cashless exercise facility has been treated 
as a modification of the original share-based payment transaction. The fair value of the shares issued was calculated 
using  the  closing  price  of  $0.37  on  the  date  of  issue,  for  a  total  value  of  $227,763.  An  amount  of  $126,500  was 
recognised upon the original issue of the options and has been transferred from the share-based payments reserve to 
issued capital. The balance of $101,263 has been recognised in the profit or loss for the current reporting period as 
share-based payments expense.

the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. 
On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and 
upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote. 
Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. 

(e) Capital risk management 
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they 
may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 
Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit 
facilities,  with  the  primary  source  of  funding  being  equity  raisings.  Therefore,  the  focus  of  the  Company’s  capital  risk 
management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes 
and  corporate  overheads.  The  Company’s  strategy  is  to  ensure  appropriate  liquidity  is  maintained  to  meet  anticipated 
operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The working capital position of the 
Company at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 are as follows: 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Trade and other receivables 
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Trade and other payables 
Lease liabilities (current) 
Current tax liabilities 
Employee benefit obligations (current)

(b) Non-cash investing and financing activities 
On 9 December 2021, the Company issued 55,555 ordinary shares (14 October 2020, 80,000 ordinary shares) to an employee 
as a reward and incentive, for a value of $20,000 (2021: $20,000). This amount is included in ‘share-based payments expense’

(c) Information on the classification of options 
As the Company has made a loss for the year ended 30 June 2022, all options on issue are considered antidilutive and have 
not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. These options currently on issue could potentially dilute 
basic earnings per share in the future. 
For the 2021 financial year the following potential ordinary shares were antidilutive as the exercise price of the options was 
greater than the average market price of the Company’s shares during the year and are therefore excluded from the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of diluted earnings per share: 

Options exercisable at $0.288 on or before 26 November 2025

a)  Employee and consultant options 
The Company provides benefits to employees (including directors), contractors and consultants of the Company in the form 
of  share-based  payment  transactions,  whereby  employees,  contractors  and  consultants  render  services  in  exchange  for 
options to acquire ordinary shares. The options granted and on issue at 30 June 2022 have exercise prices ranging from $0.20 
to $0.48 and expiry dates ranging from 28 November 2023 to 19 November 2026. 
Options granted carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the 
Company with full dividend and voting rights.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF DUKETON MININIG LIMITED 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  Duketon  Mining  Limited  (“the  Company”),  which  comprises  the 
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 

income, the statement of changes in equity and the 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: 

a. 

the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 

including: 

(i) 

giving a true and fair view of the  Company’s financial position as at 30 June  2022 and of its 

financial performance for the year then ended; and 

(ii) 

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

b. 

the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 

1. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Those standards require that we 
comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to 

obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  is  free  from  material  misstatement.  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  Company  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. 

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit 

of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 

financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on 
these matters.

 
Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter 

Financial Assets – $2,203,821 

Our procedures included but were not limited to: 

The  Company’s  financial  assets  can  be  a 
significant asset by value year on year based on 

the share price at year end.   

•  We  assessed  the  financial  assets  subsequent 
measurement at fair value to ensure consistency 
with AASB 9. 

We do not consider financial assets to be at a 

high  risk  of  significant  misstatement,  however 

due to materiality in the context of the financial 
statements as a whole, this is considered to be 

an  area  which  had  an  effect  on  our  overall 
strategy and allocation of resources in planning 

and completing our audit. 

•  We  agreed  significant 

financial  assets 

to 

independent third party confirmations. 

•  We assessed the fair value of the financial assets 

at the date of signing the audit report. 

•  We assessed the appropriateness of the related

Exploration  and  Evaluation  Expenditure  – 

Our procedures included but were not limited to: 

$3,060,179 

Exploration and evaluation is a key audit matter 

due to: 

•  The  significance  of  the  balance  to  the 
Company’s  financial  performance  as 
costs incurred are expensed. 

•  The  level  of  judgement  required  in 
evaluating  management’s  application 

the 
of 
Exploration 

requirements  of  AASB  6 
for  and  Evaluation  of 

Mineral  Resources.  AASB  6  is  an 
industry  specific  accounting  standard 

requiring  the  application  of  significant 

judgements,  estimates  and  industry 
knowledge. 

•  Assessing  management’s  determination  of  its

definition in AASB 6 Exploration and Evaluation 
of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”); 

•  Assessing  the  Company’s  rights  to  tenure  for  a 

sample of tenements; 

•  By reviewing the status of the Company’s tenure 
and  planned  future  activities,  reading  board 
minutes  and  discussions  with  management  we 

assessed each area of interest for one or more of 
the  following  circumstances  that  may  indicate 

impairment 

of 

the  mineral 

exploration 

expenditure: 

•  The licenses for the rights to explore expiring in 
the  near  future  or  are  not  expected  to  be 

renewed; 

•  Substantive expenditure for further exploration in 

the area of interest is not budgeted or planned; 

•  Decision or intent by the Company to discontinue 
activities  in  the  specific  area  of  interest  due  to 

lack  of  commercially  viable  quantities  of 

resources;  

•  Data  indicating  that,  although  a  development  in 
the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying 
amount of the exploration asset is unlikely to be 
recorded  in full from successful development or 
sale; and

Share Based Payments - $610,638 

Our procedures included but were not limited to: 

During the year the Company issued options to 

Directors and the Company Secretary. 

Share-based payments are considered to be a 
key audit matter due to: 

•  Analysed  contractual  arrangements  to  identify 
key  terms  and  conditions  of  the  share-based 
payments  and  relevant  vesting  conditions  in 
accordance with AASB 2; 

•  Evaluated management’s valuation methods and 
assessed the assumptions and inputs used;  

• 

The  significance  of  the  transactions  to 
the  Company’s  financial  position  and 

•  Assessed  the  amount  recognised  during  the 
period against relevant vesting conditions; and 

performance; and 

The  level  of  judgement  required  in  evaluating 

management’s application  of the requirements 
of AASB 2 Share-based Payment (“AASB 2”). 

Other Information  

•  Examination  of  the  disclosures  made  in  the 

financial report. 

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the  information 

included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 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 accordingly 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 Note 1, the 

directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard  AASB 101 Presentation of Financial 
Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.  

Page | 3 

 
 
 
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’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 Company or to cease operations, or has 

no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement 
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that 

is sufficient and  appropriate to provide  a basis for our opinion. The risk of  not detecting  a material 
misstatement  resulting  from  fraud  is  higher  than  for  one  resulting  from  error,  as  fraud  may  involve 

collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to  design audit procedures 
that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the 
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to  events  or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If 

we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report 
to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our 

opinion.  Our  conclusions  are  based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained  up  to  the  date  of  our  auditor’s 
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going 

concern. 

•  Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial  report,  including  the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation. 

Page | 4 

 
 
 
•  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the  entities  or 
business  activities  within  the  Company  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report.  We  are 

responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely 
responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit 
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during 

our audit. 

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical  requirements 
regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and  other  matters  that  may 

reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance 

in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe 
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or 

when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report 

because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest 
benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2022.  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report 
in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 

remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 

Auditor’s Opinion 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of the Company, for the year ended 30 June  2022, complies with 
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
