Chairman’s Report 
(cid:3)
It  is  my  pleasure  to  present  to  my  fellow  shareholders  the  first  Annual  Report  for  Eagle  Mountain 
Mining Limited. This Report covers a brief period, given that Eagle Mountain was only incorporated in 
September 2017 and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in March 2018. However its 
principal asset, the Silver Mountain copper-gold project in mining friendly Arizona USA had a significant 
amount of modern exploration work undertaken on it by a company associated with Charles Bass prior 
to acquisition by Eagle Mountain in November 2017. 

Arizona is one of the world’s most significant copper provinces and home to some of the world’s largest 
projects. Silver Mountain lies on the same geological setting that hosts porphyry copper mines such as 
Bagdad, Miami and Resolution, one of the largest undeveloped copper deposits in the world. It also 
lies on the southern extension of the metallogenic belt that hosts United Verde and Iron King. 

Our  highly-experienced  team,  led  by  founder  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Charles  Bass,  has  since 
March  2018 undertaken further exploration work and advanced the logistical arrangements  for the 
inaugural diamond drilling campaign of the Silver Mountain project, which commenced in September 
2018. 

This Annual Report therefore marks an exciting time for Eagle Mountain shareholders as this is the first 
time that a modern comprehensive drilling campaign has been conducted over the  Silver Mountain 
project area.  

Starting  up  a  new  listed  Australian  company  with  overseas  operations  is  always  a  challenging 
experience but it is also very exciting and I am particularly pleased with how Eagle Mountain has quickly 
established itself. This is due to the dedicated small team of professionals located both in Perth and 
Tucson who are enthusiastic and able to draw on their vast experience to a common cause. On behalf 
of  the Board and shareholders,  I  thank Charlie  Bass and  Fabio  Vergara  in particular for leading the 
team. 

My thanks also to my fellow independent director, Roger Port and our company secretary Mark Pitts, 
who have contributed greatly to the strategic inputs for and corporate governance oversight of Eagle 
Mountain.  

Finally,  I  thank  shareholders  for  your  support  during  and  since  the  successful  public  float  of  Eagle 
Mountain. I look forward to an active and rewarding year ahead for our Company. 

Yours faithfully 

Rick Crabb

Review of Operations 

The Silver Mountain Project 

Even  though  Eagle  Mountain  was  not  incorporated  until  September  2017,  exploration  work  on  the 
Silver Mountain Project was conducted throughout 2017/18. This work included: 

(cid:882)  Mapping and sampling 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 

Structural, geochemical and petrographic studies by independent experts 
Induced Polarisation (IP), gravity and magnetic geophysical surveys 
Road and track upgrades 
Staking additional ground  
Establishing an office and warehouse in Tucson, Arizona and recruiting key staff 
Establishing the corporate office in Perth and recruiting required personnel 

By the time of the IPO in March 2018, an exploration program and budget was established based on 
the information available at that time. A diamond drilling program of ~3,000 metres was planned for 
the second half of calendar 2018.  

However, between the time of the IPO and 30 June 2018, the Company had enough new information 
and  confidence  in  the  results  received  to  increase  the  program  to  approximately  12,000  metres  of 
drilling. Of this, more than 6,000 metres are high priority holes, forming the basis of the current drilling 
program which commenced in September 2018. 

Recognition of four unique styles of mineralisation in various parts of the Silver Mountain Project was 
integral to being able to confidently proceed with the doubling of the drilling program. 

Subsequent to the financial year end, the major focus was on: 

(cid:882)  Drill hole planning 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882)  Negotiating  access  through  a  private  land  parcel  which  will  provide  Eagle  Mountain  with  better 

Evaluating and signing both diamond drilling and water drilling contracts 
Locating and drilling the water well on the Company’s patented claims 
Improving roads and access tracks for drilling equipment 

(cid:882) 

access to the Pacific side of the Silver Mountain Project 
Establishing both a company and drillers camp to the south of the project area which provides for 
safer and faster access to all of the target areas than the previous access from Crown King to the 
north 
Recruiting additional personnel for the diamond drilling program 
Fitting out the Tucson warehouse for core logging, sampling and storage 
Permitting for drilling and other activities 

(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882)  Commencement of diamond drilling in the Pacific Mine area 

These activities are explained in further detail in the following pages. Eagle Mountain looks forward to 
keeping  our  shareholders  and  the  market  informed  of  progress  and  results  from  the  drilling  and 
further exploration at Silver Mountain.

Exploration Activities   

Since the Company’s subsidiary, Silver Mountain Mining Pty Ltd, assembled the private land package 
that comprises the core of the Silver Mountain copper-gold project in 2013, an extensive amount of 
work  has  been  carried  out  to  learn  more  about  its  favourable  geological  setting  and  styles  of 
mineralisation.   

In the five years prior to the IPO in March 2018, exploration work included the staking of unpatented 
mining  claims  and  Arizona  state  exploration  permits,  reconnaissance  mapping  and  sampling, 
helicopter-borne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys, and induced polarisation/resistivity surveys. 
Geochemical  and  structural  studies  have  also  been  completed  to  improve  the  understanding  of 
mineralisation sources and controls. Attracting early  attention was the 6 kilometres long gossanous 
Pacific  Horizon  prospect,  which  was  consolidated  under  a  single  entity  for  the  first  time.  These 
exploration activities led to the discovery of new areas of potential mineralisation and the identification 
of several drill targets.  

During the IPO process, Eagle Mountain continued exploring. The Company turned its attention to the 
highly prospective Scarlett and Red Mule prospects, running drone magnetics and completing a gravity 
survey. Exploration at these areas accelerated post IPO, as further mapping, sampling and geophysical 
surveys  were  undertaken  to  refine  the  exploration  models  in  preparation  for  the  diamond  drilling 
program.  

The success of these activities led to the commencement of drilling in September 2018. The 27 hole 
program is targeting four unique styles  of mineralisation  located  within  the Pacific Horizon,  Scarlett 
and Red Mule prospects.  

Mapping and Sampling 

Extensive geological mapping and geochemical sampling has been undertaken at the Silver Mountain 
Project over the past five years. This has significantly enhanced the Company’s understanding of the 
ultimate source of mineralisation and increased its confidence in the Project.    

Recent highlights include: 

(cid:882) 

(cid:882) 

Rock chip samples at Scarlett up to 86.1 g/t Au and 2.15% Cu (refer to ASX release 16 May 2018). 
Extensive mapping over Scarlett in the June quarter led to the discovery of a previously unreported 
historical working to the west of the main cluster of high-grade gold veins. The adit was developed 
into a shear zone with multiple parallel quartz veins. Interestingly, the orientation of the shear zone 
and  quartz  veins  raised  the  prospect  of  Eagle  Mountain  identifying  a  different  part  of  the 
mineralised system at Scarlett that was rich in copper as well as gold. 

Another welcome surprise was the discovery of the Rhyolite Target, a new area of historical mining 
at the southern end of the Red Mule prospect. A shaft and several surficial workings were identified 
by a ground crew while carrying out a gravity survey. The area was mapped and sampled, returning 
encouraging results including 27 g/t Au and 0.13% Cu (refer to ASX release 16 May 2018).

(cid:3)
(cid:882)  Mapping and sampling at the southern end of the Red Mule area led to a 3 kilometres southwest 
extension of the NE-SW trending Pacific Horizon prospect for a total strike length of 9 kilometres. 
Multiple historical mines occur along this belt within the Silver Mountain Project. Eagle Mountain’s 
sampling of historical mine dumps returned highly encouraging results of up to 11.1% Cu and 10.7 
g/t  Au  (Buffalo  Mine)  and  3.5%  Cu  and  4.2  g/t  Au  (Pacific  Mine)  (refer  to  the  Company’s  IPO 
Prospectus ASX Release 14 March 2018). 

(cid:882) 

As  the  Rhyolite  Target  straddled  the  southern  boundary  of  Eagle  Mountain’s  landholding,  the 
Company  staked  additional  tenements  covering  these  prospective  areas  and  the  inferred 
southwestern extension of the Pacific Horizon. 84 new unpatented mining claims were staked and 
one Arizona state exploration permit was filed in the June quarter.  

The  Silver  Mountain  Project  has  thus  expanded  to  cover  the  land  positions  shown  in  
Figure 2.

Geological Petrography Study 

A two-year geological study of 39 rock samples collected across the Silver Mountain Project highlighted 
the  multiple  mineralising  events  that  affected  the  project  area.  The  study  was  undertaken  by  Dr 
Johnathan Nouse, Professor and Chair of the Geological Sciences Department at the California State 
Polytechnic University. 

The encouraging results suggest a genetic link between the high-grade copper mineralisation at Pacific 
Horizon prospect (up to 11% Cu in historical dump samples) and the high-grade gold mineralisation at 
Scarlett prospect (up to 86 g/t Au in outcrop). 

These  observations  confirmed  Eagle  Mountain’s  understanding  that  the  Silver  Mountain  Project 
mineralisation history is extremely complex and requires advanced exploration techniques to better 
understand the local geology and identify the most prospective drill targets.  

Geophysical Studies  

A key step in the implementation of the exploration strategy was the acquisition and interpretation of 
geophysical  surveys,  comprising  a  UAV  (unmanned  aerial  vehicle)  borne  magnetic  survey,  a  ground 
gravity  survey  and  an  Induced  Polarisation  survey.  The  results  confirmed  exploration  models 
developed over the past five years and significantly improved Eagle Mountain’s understanding of the 
mineralisation. Key highlights are outlined below:  

(cid:882) 

(cid:882) 

(cid:882) 

A magnetic survey was flown over parts of the Scarlett and Pacific Horizon prospects to refine the 
understanding  of  the  local  geology  and  support  drill  targeting.  The  level  of  detail  provided  far 
greater resolution than the 100metre spaced VTEM that was flown over the Silver Mountain Project 
in 2013. The Silver Dollar magnetic survey suggested that prospective rocks at Silver Dollar and 
Scarlett are likely to continue at depth. Results also confirmed the presence of a major fault and 
that the prospective mineralised rocks could extend beneath this fault. The results from the Pacific 
mine area showed a magnetic low adjacent to the historical waste dump which overlaps multiple 
anomalies identified with previous geophysical surveys, mapping and sampling over the past five 
years.  

A ground gravity survey was also completed at the Scarlett prospect. Interpretation of the survey 
results identified a fault running below the cluster of high-grade gold veins at the Scarlett prospect. 
A gravity low coincident with the distribution of recent volcanic rocks was also identified. 

A relatively new method of Induced Polarization (IP) survey was run over several lines at the Scarlett 
and Red Mule prospects across mineralised areas identified by geological mapping and sampling. 
The new technology provides a data density that far exceeds industry standards. The results of the 
survey  improved  the  understanding  of  the  subsurface  geology  at  the  Scarlett  and  Red  Mule 
prospects and confirmed the southern extension of the Pacific Horizon prospect .  

Establishing four styles of mineralisation 

Recognising and identifying four unique styles of mineralisation throughout the major prospects at the 
Silver Mountain Project was a key milestone in being able to confidently proceed with the doubling in 
size of the drilling program. Theses areas of mineralisation are shown in Figure 3. 

2018 Annual Report

(cid:3)
The four different styles of mineralisation are: 

(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 
(cid:882) 

Proterozoic Massive Sulphide (Pacific Horizon prospect) 
Porphyry-style (Laramide) veins in Proterozoic granites (Scarlett prospect) 
Laramide or mid-Tertiary quartz-carbonate breccia (Pacific Horizon prospect) 
Tertiary detachment-related mineralisation (Red Mule and Scarlett prospects) 

Figure 3 – Mineralisation targets and section lines 

Each style of mineralisation is a key target for the drill program which started in late September 2018. 
The program has an initial focus on the Pacific Horizon prospect, testing mineralisation associated with 
quartz-carbonate Cu-Au breccias, as well as Proterozoic massive sulphide.

Figure  4  represents  a  schematic  cross  section  of  the  Silver  Mountain  project  and  illustrates  the 
hypothetical  correlation  among  different  styles of  mineralisation  and the location  of  key high  grade 
results within the model.  

Figure 4 - Styles of mineralisation identified at Silver Mountain  

(Figure 4 is drawn for illustration purposes only, faults may not be in the locations or orientation shown, but 

demonstrate the relationship of the breccias to faults. 

Proterozoic Massive Sulphide (Pacific Horizon prospect) 

Recent mapping and geophysical surveys confirmed that the Pacific Horizon extends to more than 9 

kilometres  in  length,  up  from  the  previously  mapped  6  kilometres.  The  Pacific  Horizon  is  up  to  40 

metres  wide  and  has  affinity  with  exhalite,  a  rock  type  often  associated  with  volcanogenic  massive 

sulphide (VMS) deposits (see Figure 3).  

Although totally oxidized at surface, the Pacific Horizon is anomalous in trace metal values along its 

entire extent and locally shows gossanous textures. The Pacific Horizon is part of a Proterozoic age 

greenstone belt that hosts numerous  VMS  deposits  including the  world-class United  Verde deposit 

(34.5 Mt @ 5% copper and 1.13 g/t gold) located near Jerome.  The approximately 140 metre deep 

Pacific shaft suggests that the Pacific Horizon extends at least to that depth down dip.  

2018 Annual Report  

  9 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(cid:3)
Geological mapping, structural analysis and IP geophysics all indicate that the Pacific Horizon extends 

well beyond the bottom of the shaft.  

The  gossan  appears  to  be  a  syngenetic  (i.e.,  formed  at  the  same  time  as  the  surrounding  rock) 

stratabound sulphide horizon that has been thoroughly oxidized at the surface. 

Figure 5 - Schematic of gossan development 

Figure 5 above illustrates a typical cross-section through a sulphide vein, from gossan at the surface 
down to the primary sulphide zone. The associated photos show what each of these zones may look 
like based on rocks found on various mine waste dumps along the Pacific Horizon.  

Based on the rocks found on the waste dumps, mapping, and geochemical analysis, Eagle Mountain 
believes that multiple mineralising events have overprinted the original geology.  

Porphyry-style (Laramide) veins in Proterozoic granites (Scarlett prospect) 

The second style of mineralization identified at the Silver Mountain Project is a set of NE-striking, gold-

bearing quartz-veins. These are found locally at the Scarlett prospect within Proterozoic granitoids and 

display  porphyry  style  alteration.  The  schematic  in  Figure  4  illustrates  the  possible  source  of 

mineralisation as the “Stockwork Quartz-Au Veining”.  

The Au-bearing veins occur within fracture zones and as discontinuous lenses within dilational zones 

and returned assay values up to 84.14 g/t Au and 2.15% Cu. The veins are inferred to be of Laramide 

age, a geological period when many of the major Arizona copper deposits were formed. Geochemistry 

points to a porphyry-style intrusive as the source of the hydrothermal fluids. The NE-SW strike of the 

2018 Annual Report

(cid:3)
veins and the fractures hosting them is also characteristic of those seen in Laramide porphyry copper 

deposits throughout Arizona. 

The Sheep Mountain copper porphyry lies about 5 kilometres to the south of the project area, and a 

possible porphyry intrusive just west of the Scarlett vein system (Figure 6) has been inferred from the 

2013 airborne VTEM geophysics.  

Figure 6 – VTEM Geophysical Anomaly – a potential porphyry 

Laramide or mid-Tertiary quartz-carbonate breccia (Pacific Horizon prospect) 

Quartz-carbonate  Cu-Au-bearing  breccias  occur  infrequently  along  the  Pacific  Horizon.  These  rocks 

are  found  at  the  waste  dumps  of  the  Pacific  Mine  and  at  other  locations  which  were  the  sites  of 

historical mining activity, such as the Buffalo, Wellington, Copper Ash and #10 mines. These breccias 

2018 Annual Report  

  11 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(cid:3)
contain patches of abundant chalcopyrite hosted in a massive coarse-grained carbonate breccia. The 

breccia found at the Pacific Mine dump assayed 4.24 g/t Au, 112 g/t Ag, and 3.54% Cu. 

Although not found in outcrop, mineralised quartz-carbonate breccias are assumed to occur at depth 

within the mines. 

These  are  illustrated  as  “Qtz-Carb  Cu-Au  Breccia”  in  the  Figure  4  schematic.  These  breccias  do  not 

necessarily occur in the locations, size or shape illustrated. There may be unknown breccias that are 

buried well below surface and are yet to be discovered.   

Interpretation suggests that the breccias formed during multiple episodes of brecciation, faulting and 

hydrothermal  fluid  circulation.  Alteration  and  mineralisation  at  the  Red  Mule  prospect  and  these 

quartz-carbonate  breccias  may  have  developed  at  the  same  time  during  mid-Tertiary  detachment 

faulting.   

The “Possible Faults” shown in the Figure 4 schematic may not  be in the locations or orientation as 

shown, but demonstrate the relationship of the breccias to faults. 

Tertiary detachment-related mineralisation (Red Mule and Scarlett prospects) 

The Breakaway Zone at the Red Mule prospect is interpreted to be a significant NW-trending fault zone, 

moderately to steeply dipping, separating Proterozoic rocks to the east and Tertiary volcanics to the 

west. Hematite alteration occurs in  zones  up to 200  metres wide.  Geophysical  surveys  support  the 

geologic interpretations based on surface mapping and sampling.  

The Breakaway Zone, considered to be a detachment fault, could potentially host tonnage and grades 

of  economic  value.  The  Figure  4  schematic  illustrates  the  “Breakaway”  as  a  zone  running  from  the 

Pacific Horizon trend A-B section through the workings sampled along the C-D section line.  

Establishing a base in Arizona and recent exploration activities 

Eagle Mountain has established an operations office in Tucson, Arizona and recruited staff to support 
the  Company’s  activities.  The  office  occupies  a  small  part  of  a  warehouse  that  will  house  drill  core, 
processing and storage facilities, along with equipment and supplies.  

As Eagle Mountain moved closer to commencing the drill program, a great deal of work was undertaken 

in Arizona to facilitate the program. This included:   

(cid:882) 

(cid:882) 

(cid:882) 

Road maintenance and improvement, which was vital to provide access to the large water drill rig 
and ensure fast and safe commuting between the exploration camp and the project for employees 
and contractors 
Signing  of  an  access  agreement,  which  enables  Eagle  Mountain  and  its  contractors  to  transit 
through  a  private  property  to  the  east  of  the  Pacific  Mine  thus  providing  simple  access  to  the 
eastern side of the Project area  
Establishment  of  an  exploration  camp  to the south of  the Silver Mountain  Project.  The camp is 
based on a private property. The landowner will provide water, power, workshops and space for

(cid:882) 

trailers, equipment laydown and storage. The location of the camp provides efficient access to both 
the Pacific and Scarlett side of Silver Mountain and will save one to two hours of travel time daily 
when compared to the previous operations base in Crown King to the north of the project 
The signing of a water drilling contract and completion of a water well, which will provide all the 
water  required  for  the  drill  program.  The  water  well  was  drilled  to  a  depth  of  183  metres  and 
encountered multiple water-bearing fractures. A suitable water pump was installed and a 72 hour 
continuous pumping test indicated a sustainable pumping rate of 136 litres/minute    
Signing of the diamond drilling contract, mobilisation of a track mounted drill rig and establishment 
of the drillers camp. 

The drilling program 

The drilling program comprises 27 high priority drill holes, 15 along Pacific Horizon prospect and 12 

for Scarlett and Red Mule prospects. 

Figure 7 - Drill program showing drill locations and priority 

2018 Annual Report  

  13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(cid:3)
The average hole depth across the drilling program is 232 metres, 20 holes will be drilled with a track-

mounted drill rig and 7 with a helicopter to support rig and equipment moves from one drill site to the 

next. 

The  first  phase  of  drilling  at  Silver  Mountain  will  enhance  Eagle  Mountain’s  understanding  of  the 

project’s potential and play an important role in driving further programs. If it is successful in identifying 

potential economic mineralisation, Eagle Mountain may continue drilling at that location and possibly 

bring in a second drill rig.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 

Remuneration paid to Directors and Officers of the Company is set by reference to such payments made by 
other ASX listed companies of a similar size and operating in the mineral exploration industry. In addition, 
reference is made to the specific skills and experience of the Directors and Officers. 

Details of the nature and amount of remuneration of each Director, and other Key Management Personnel 
if applicable, are disclosed annually in the Remuneration Report.  

Remuneration Committee 

The Board has adopted a formal Nomination and Remuneration Policy which provides a framework for the 
consideration of remuneration matters. 

The Company does not have a separate remuneration committee and as such all remuneration matters are 
considered by the Board as a whole, with no member deliberating or considering such matter in respect of 
their own remuneration. 

In the absence of a separate Remuneration Committee, the Board is responsible for: 

1. 

2. 

Setting  remuneration  packages  for  Executive  Directors,  Non-Executive  Directors  and  other  Key 
Management Personnel; and 
Implementing employee incentive and equity based plans and making awards pursuant to those plans. 

Non-Executive Remuneration 

The Company’s policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors, at rates comparable to  other  ASX listed 
companies in the same industry, for their time, commitment and responsibilities. 

Non-Executive Remuneration is not linked to the performance of the Company, however to align Directors’ 
interests with shareholders’ interests, remuneration may be provided to Non-Executive Directors in the form 
of equity based long term incentives. 

1. 

Fees  payable  to  Non-Executive  Directors  are  set  within  the  aggregate  amount  approved  by 
shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting; 

2.  Non-Executive Directors’ fees are payable in the form of cash and superannuation benefits; 
3.  Non-Executive  Directors’  superannuation  benefits  are 

limited 

to  statutory  superannuation 

entitlements; and 

4.  Participation  in  equity  based  remuneration  schemes  by  Non-Executive  Directors  is  subject  to 

consideration and approval by the Company’s shareholders. 

The maximum aggregate Non-Executive Directors fees payable are currently set at $300,000 per annum. 

Executive Director and Other Key Management Personnel Remuneration 

Executive remuneration consists of base salary, plus other performance incentives to ensure that: 

1.  Remuneration packages incorporate a balance between fixed and incentive pay, reflecting short and 

long term performance objectives appropriate to the Company’s circumstances and objectives; and 

2.  A  proportion  of  remuneration  is  structured  in  a  manner  to  link  reward  to  corporate  and  individual 

performances. 

Executives are offered a competitive level of base salary at market rates (based on comparable ASX listed 
companies) and are reviewed regularly to ensure market competitiveness. To date the Company has not 
engaged external remuneration consultants to advise the Board on remuneration matters.

notice to the Company; and 

2.  A Non-Executive Director may, following resolution of the Company’s shareholders, be removed before

perform  special  duties  or  otherwise  perform  extra  services  or  make  special  exertions  on  behalf  of  the 
Company. There were no such fees paid during the financial period ended 30 June 2018. 

Upon  commencement  of  employment,  Messrs  Crabb  and  Port  each received  1,500,000  unlisted  options 
over  unissued  shares  of  the  Company.  An  expense  of  $120,000  has  been  recognised  through  the 
Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period to 30 June 2018 
in respect of the 3,000,000 options issued. 

Engagement of Executive Directors 

The Company has entered into an executive service agreement with Mr Charles Bass in his role as Managing

Mr  Bass  receives  a  base  salary  inclusive  of  statutory  superannuation  of  $50,000  per  annum  from  the

Mountain  may  otherwise  terminate  the  Managing  Director’s  employment  in  accordance  with  the 
Constitution or the Corporations Act. Upon termination of the agreement, Mr Bass will cease employment 
with Eagle Mountain as its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer and will become a Non-Executive 
Director of Eagle Mountain.

Income in the period to 30 June 2018 in respect of the 1,500,000 options issued.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued) 

Short Term Incentive Payments 

The Non-Executive Directors set annual Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) for Executive Directors. The KPIs 
are chosen to align the reward of the individual Executives to the strategy and performance of the Company. 

Performance  objectives,  which  may  be  financial  or  non-financial,  or  a  combination of  both,  are  weighted 
when calculating the maximum short term incentives payable to Executives. At the end of the year, the Non-
Executive  Directors  will  assess  the  actual  performance  of  the  Executives  against  the  set  Performance 
Objectives.  The  maximum  amount  of  the  Short  Term  Incentive,  or  a  lesser  amount  depending  on  actual 
performance achieved is paid to the Executives as a cash payment. 

No Short Term incentives are payable to Executives where it is considered that the actual performance has 
fallen below the minimum requirement. 

Shareholding Qualifications 

The  Directors  are  not  required  to  hold  any  shares  in  Eagle  Mountain  under  the  terms  of  the  Company’s 
Constitution. 

Group Performance 

In considering the Company’s performance, the Board will provide the following indices in respect of the 
current financial period: 

Loss for the period attributable to shareholders 

$(1,681,900) 

Closing share price at 30 June 

$0.42 

2018 

As an exploration entity the Board does not consider the loss attributable to shareholders as one of the 
performance indicators when implementing Short Term Incentive Payments.  

In  addition  to  technical  exploration  success,  the  Board  considers  the  effective  management  of  safety, 
environmental and operational matters and successful management, acquisition and consolidation of high 
quality landholdings, as more appropriate indicators of management performance for the financial period.

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Eagle Mountain Mining Limited and its controlled 
entities (the “Group”). Eagle Mountain Mining Limited is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in 
Australia. 

The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.  The financial 
statements for the period from 6 September 2017 to 30 June 2018 were approved and authorised for issue by the Board 
of Directors on 24 August 2018.      

1.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial 
report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. 
(a)

Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements for the reporting period ended 30 June 2018 have been prepared in
accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  other
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial statements and notes
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical cost and does not take
into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is
based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

(i) Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business 
activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  

(ii) Basis of Consolidation

The financial information comprises the financial information of Eagle Mountain and entities (including special 
purpose entities) controlled by Eagle Mountain (its subsidiaries). 

 Control is achieved when Eagle Mountain: 

•
•
•

has power over the investee;
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

Eagle Mountain reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there
are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

The  financial  information  of  subsidiaries  is  prepared  for  the  same  reporting  period  as  Eagle  Mountain,  using 
consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that 
may  exist.  All  inter-company  balances  and  transactions,  including  unrealised  profits  arising  from  intra-group 
transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered. 

Subsidiaries  are  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  transferred  to  the  group  and  cease  to  be 
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Total comprehensive income of 
subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of Eagle Mountain and to the non-controlling interests even if this results 
in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.  

Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date Eagle Mountain gains 
control until the date when Eagle Mountain ceases to control the subsidiary. 

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the 
difference between: 

•
•

The aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest; and
The  previous  carrying  amount  of  the  assets  (including  goodwill),  and  liabilities  of  the  subsidiary  and  any  non-
controlling interests.

(cid:38)(cid:381)(cid:396)(cid:3)(cid:410)(cid:346)(cid:286)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:286)(cid:396)(cid:349)(cid:381)(cid:282)(cid:3)(cid:28)(cid:374)(cid:282)(cid:286)(cid:282)(cid:3)(cid:1007)(cid:1004)(cid:3)(cid:58)(cid:437)(cid:374)(cid:286)(cid:3)(cid:1006)(cid:1004)(cid:1005)(cid:1012)(cid:3)

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

(ii)

Basis of Consolidation (Continued)

All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted 
for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to 
profit and loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by the applicable Accounting 
Standards). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost 
is  regarded  as  the  fair  value  on  initial  recognition  for  subsequent  accounting  under  AASB  139,  or  when 
applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture. 

(iii) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

Application of new and revised Accounting Standards 

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

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not 
been early adopted. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended, but are not 
yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the reporting period ended 30 June 2018. 

The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations 
most relevant to the Group are set out below: 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard 
replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39  “Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement”. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial 
assets.  A  financial  asset  shall  be  measured  at  amortised  cost,  if  it  is  held  within  a  business  model  whose 
objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely 
principal  and  interest.  All  other  financial  instrument  assets  are  to  be  classified  and  measured  at  fair  value 
through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and 
losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). For financial 
liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity’s own credit risk 
to  be  presented  in  OCI  (unless  it  would  create  an  accounting  mismatch).  New  simpler  hedge  accounting 
requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities 
of  the  entity.  New  impairment requirements  will  use an  ‘expected  credit  loss’  (“ECL”)  model  to  recognise an 
allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial 
instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. 
The standard introduces additional new disclosures.  
The Group does not expect any material impact from the ultimate adoption of AASB 9. 
AASB 16 Leases 

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard 
replaces AASB 117  ”Leases” and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance 
leases.  Subject  to  exceptions,  a  ”right-of-use”  asset  will  be  capitalised  in  the  statement  of  financial  position, 
measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The 
exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal 
computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a ”right-of-use” 
asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to 
the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial 
direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted (Continued) 

Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset 
(included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). 
In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when 
compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and 
Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation 
in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be 
separated  into  both  a  principal  (financing  activities)  and  interest  (either  operating  or  financing  activities) 
component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. 
The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019. Management has reviewed the impact and recognises there 
will  be  a  material  change  in  relation  to  the  accounting  treatment  for  its  office  leases.  Whilst this  will  result  in 
recognising both an asset and liability, it will not materially impact the overall net asset position, nor will it affect 
any financial covenants for financiers (for which there presently are none). 

(b)

Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure

Exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  is  generally  written  off  in  the  year  incurred,  except  for  acquisition  of
exploration properties which is capitalised and carried forward.

When  production  commences,  any  accumulated  costs  for  the  relevant  area  of  interest  which  have  been
capitalised and carried forward will be amortised over the life of the area according to  the rate of depletion of
the economically recoverable resources. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the
appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to the area of interest. The carrying value of any
capitalised expenditure is assessed by the Directors each reporting period to determine if any provision should
be made for the impairment of the carrying value. The appropriateness of the Group’s ability to recover these
capitalised costs has been assessed at the end of each reporting period and the Directors are satisfied that the
value is recoverable.

The carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment at an overall
level whenever facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the assets may exceed recoverable
amount.  An  impairment  exists  when  the  carrying  amount  of  the  assets  exceeds  the  estimated  recoverable
amount. The assets are then written down to their recoverable amount. Any impairment losses are recognised
in the income statement.

(c)

Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables to be settled within 60 days are carried at amounts due. The collectability of debts is assessed
at the end of the reporting period based on the length of time a debt has been outstanding, the past default
experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, and a specific provision is
made for any doubtful accounts.

(d)

Interest Income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues.

(e)

Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the Group which is Australian dollars
at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at historical
cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured
at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the consolidated statement
of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income.  Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  non-
monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity,
otherwise  the  exchange  difference  is  recognised  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other
comprehensive income.

Operating Segments

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components
of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker
to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which
discrete financial information is available. This includes start up operations which are yet to earn revenues. The
chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors, taken as a whole. Management will
also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the
level of segment information presented to the board of directors.
Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the Board of Directors.
Financial Instruments

(g)

Financial  instruments  in  the  scope  of  AASB  139  “Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement”  are
classified  as  either  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  loans  and  receivables,  held-to-maturity
investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial instruments are recognised initially,
they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly
attributable transactions costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial instruments after initial
recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial period end.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date being the date that the
Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets
under  contracts  that  require  delivery  of  the  assets  within  the  period  established  generally  by  regulation  or
convention in the marketplace.

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

(iv)

Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are
not  quoted  in  an  active  market.  Such  assets  are  carried  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest
method.  Gains  and  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  when  the  loans  and  receivables  are
derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative  financial  liabilities  (excluding  financial  guarantees)  are  subsequently  measured  at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument
has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value
of  the  instrument  is  considered  to  determine  whether  impairment  has  arisen.  Impairment  losses  are
recognised in the profit or loss.
Derecognition
Financial  assets  are  derecognised  where  the  contractual  rights  to  receipt of  cash  flows  expires  or  the
asset  is  transferred  to  another  party  whereby  the  entity  no  longer  has  any  significant  continuing
involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where
the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying
value  of  the  financial  liability  extinguished  or  transferred  to  another  party  and  the  fair  value  of
consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit
or loss.

(h)

Borrowings

Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement
for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction
costs) and subsequently carried at amortised cost.

(i)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

(j)

Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there
is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset
does not generate cash flows that are independent from the other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated  future  cash  flows  are  discounted  to  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  that  reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates
of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generated unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount,
the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss
is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the
impairment  loss  is  treated  as  a  revaluation  decrease.  Where  an  impairment  loss  subsequently  reverses,  the
carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, 
but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years.

A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at
fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

(k)

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment assets are initially recognised at acquisition cost or manufacturing cost, including
any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for the assets to be
capable of operating in the manner intended by the Group’s management.

Property, plant and equipment assets are subsequently measured using the cost model, cost less subsequent
depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised on a diminishing value basis to write down the
cost less estimated residual value of the assets.

Leasehold improvements are capitalised and subsequently amortised over the term of the respective lease.

The following depreciation rates are applied to property, plant and equipment on the diminishing value basis:

•
•

Motor vehicles: 25%
Other property, plant and equipment: 20-50%

Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually. 

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

(l)

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  GST,  except  where  the  amount  of  GST
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”).  In these circumstances, the GST is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in
the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the
statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising
from  investing  and  financing  activities  which  are  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  ATO  are  classified  as
operating cash flows.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

(m)

Taxation

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax
expense (income).

Current  income  tax  expense  charged  to  the  profit  and  loss  is  the  tax  payable  on  the  taxable  income  using
applicable income tax rates enacted or substantially enacted as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax
liabilities (assets)(cid:3)are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant
taxation authority.

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 assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial information. Deferred tax assets also result
where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be
recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is
no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled
and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

(n)

Trade and Other Payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes
obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

(o)

Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of a past event, for
which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

(p)

Share Based Payment Transactions

The Group recognises the fair value of options granted to Directors, employees and consultants as remuneration
as an expense on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Group 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 (including Directors) is measured by
reference to fair value at the date they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black Scholes option
pricing model.

(q)

Issued Capital

Issued  and  paid  up  capital  is  recognised  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  by  the  Group.  Any
transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the
share proceeds received.

In preparing the financial information the Group has been required to make certain estimates and assumptions
concerning future occurrences. There is an inherent risk that the resulting accounting estimates will not equate
exactly with actual events and results.

(i)

Significant accounting judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, 
apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
financial statements: 

Acquisition of Silver Mountain Mining Pty Ltd 

On 7 December 2017 Eagle Mountain acquired a 100% interest in the issued capital of Silver Mountain, an entity 
which controls the Silver Mountain Project located in Arizona in the United States of America.  

Eagle Mountain acquired the entire share capital of Silver Mountain from an entity associated with Mr Charles 
Bass.  Mr  Bass  was  a  Director  holding  an  interest  in  the  entire  shareholding  of  Eagle  Mountain.  As  such,  the 
Directors considered the acquisition to be a common control transaction. Accordingly, the excess in fair value of 
consideration given over the net assets acquired was allocated to a common control reserve. 

(ii)

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions 
of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment 
to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: 

Key Estimates – Impairment of Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 

The  future  recoverability  of  capitalised  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  is  dependent  on  a  number  of 
factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully 
recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. 

Factors  that  could  impact  the  future  recoverability  include  the  level  of  reserves  and  resources,  future 
technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes 
to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices. 

Key Estimates – Share Based Payment Transactions 

The Group 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.  Fair values of share options are determined using the 
Black Scholes model. Should the assumptions used in these calculations differ, the amounts recognised could 
significantly change. 

Key Estimates – Taxation 

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on the best 
estimates of the Directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the 
Group  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 ATO. 

Key Judgment – Environmental Issues 

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted 
environmental legislation. At the current stage of the Group’s development and its current environmental impact 
the Directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

(s)

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis,
depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an
orderly  unforced  transaction  between  independent,  knowledgeable  and  willing  market  participants  at  the
measurement date.

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to
determine  fair  value.  Adjustments  to  market  values  may  be  made  having  regard  to  the  characteristics  of  the
specific  asset  or  liability.  The  fair  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  traded  in  an  active  market  are
determined  using  one  or  more  valuation  techniques.  These  valuation  techniques  maximise,  to  the  extent
possible, the use of observable market data.

To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability
(ie the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a
market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market
that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability,
after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to use
the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it  to another market participant that would use the asset in its
highest and best use.

The  fair  value  of  liabilities  and  the  entity's  own  equity  instruments  (excluding  those  related  to  share  based
payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of
such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as
assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where  significant,
are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

30 June 2018 
A$ 
137,272 
395,948 
- 
533,220 

The Group has exposure to a variety of risks arising from its use of financial instruments. This note presents information 
about the Company’s exposure to the specific risks, and the policies and processes for measuring and managing those 
risks. The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the risk management framework and has adopted a Risk 
Management Policy.   

(a)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from transactions with customers and investments.

Trade and other receivables

The nature of the business activity of the Group does not result in trading receivables. The receivables that the
Group does experience through its normal course of business are short term and the most significant recurring
by quantity is receivable from the Australian Taxation Office. The risk of non-recovery of receivables from this
source is considered to be negligible.

Cash deposits

The Directors believe any risk associated with the use of predominantly one bank is addressed through the use
of at least an A-rated bank as a primary banker. Except for this matter the Group currently has no significant
concentrations of credit risk.

(b)

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet
its  liabilities  when  due,  under  both  normal  and  stressed  conditions,  without  incurring  unacceptable  losses  or
risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The  Group  manages  its  liquidity  risk  by  monitoring  its  cash  reserves  and  forecast  spending.  Management  is
cognisant  of  the  future  demands  for  liquid  finance  resources  to  finance  the  Company’s  current  and  future
operations, and consideration is given to the liquid assets available to the Company before commitment is made
to future expenditure or investment.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(c)

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity
prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market
risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising
any return.

Interest rate risk
The Group has significant cash assets which may be susceptible to fluctuations in changes in interest rates. Whilst
the  Group  requires  the  cash  assets  to  be  sufficiently  liquid  to  cover  any  planned  or  unforeseen  future
expenditure,  which  prevents  the  cash  assets  being  committed  to  long  term  fixed  interest  arrangements,  the
Group does mitigate potential interest rate risk by entering into short to medium term fixed interest investments.

Equity risk
The Group has no direct exposure to equity risk.

Foreign exchange risk
The Group holds a significant amount of cash assets in US dollar denominated bank accounts and bank deposits.
The  Group  is  also  significantly  exposed  to  foreign  exchange  risk  through  transactions  and  arrangements  in
respect of its US based operations.

Other than the above, the Group does not have any direct contact with foreign exchange fluctuations other than
their effect on the general economy.

The Group seeks to mitigate foreign exchange risk by considering  capital requirements and foreign exchange
rates when undertaking treasury transactions, such as utilising US dollar denominated term deposits.

22.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Credit risk 
The Directors do not consider that the Group’s financial assets are subject to anything more than a negligible level of 
credit risk, and as such no disclosures are made (refer note 21(a)).

Independent auditor’s report to members

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (the Company 
and its subsidiaries (the Group)), which comprises the consolidated statement of 
financial position as at 30 June 2018, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the 
consolidated statement of cash flows for the period then ended, and notes to the 
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other 
explanatory information, 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 2018 and
of its financial performance for the period ended on that date; and
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations
2001.

(ii)

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

We 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.

CARRYING VALUE OF EXPLORATION COSTS - LAND

How our audit addressed it

Our audit procedures included: 

— A review of the directors’ assessment 
of the recognition criteria for the 
capitalisation of exploration 
expenditure.

— Evaluation of whether there are any 

indicators of impairment to capitalised 
costs.

— Assessing the viability of the 26 
patented mining claims and 209 
unpatented mining claims, capitalised 
as Exploration and Evaluation 
Expenditure – Land, and whether 
there were any indicators of 
impairment to those costs capitalised
at the reporting date.

We assessed the adequacy of the Group’s 
disclosures in respect of the transactions.

Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1(b) and 8
The Group has incurred exploration costs 
in relation to exploration activities for 
Copper and Gold in the surrounding area 
of the Bradshaw Mountains of Yavapai 
County of Arizona, USA. Exploration and 
evaluation expenditure is generally written 
off in the year incurred, except for 
acquisition of exploration properties which 
is capitalised and carried forward. There is 
a risk that accounting criteria associated 
with the capitalisation of exploration and 
evaluation expenditure - land may not be
appropriate and that capitalised costs 
exceed the value in use.

An impairment review is only required if an 
impairment trigger is identified. 
Due to the nature of the resources 
industry, indicators of impairment applying 
the value in use model could include:

— Viability of the projects

— Changes to exploration plans and 

permits

— Loss of rights to tenements

— Changes to reserve estimates

— Costs of extraction and production

Independent auditor’s report to members (cont’d.)

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1(p) and 12
The Group has entered into a number of 
share-based payment arrangements
during the period. These are outlined in 
note 12.

The above arrangements required 
significant judgments and estimations by 
management, including the following:

— The evaluation of the grant date of 

each arrangement, and the evaluation 
of the fair value of the underlying 
share price of the Company as at the 
grant date;

— The evaluation of key inputs into the 
Black Scholes option pricing model, 
including the significant judgment of 
the forecast volatility of the share 
option over its exercise period.

The results of these share-based payment 
arrangements materially affect the
disclosures.

How our audit addressed it

Our audit procedures included:

— Evaluating the fair values of share-

based payment arrangements by 
understanding and documenting the 
assumptions used. In determining the 
grant dates, we evaluated what were 
the most appropriate dates based on 
the terms and conditions of the share-
based payment arrangements. 

— For the specific application of the 

Black Scholes model, we assessed 
the competence of third party advisors 
in preparing these calculations. We 
retested some of the assumptions 
used in the model and recalculated 
those fair values using volatility 
applied in the model to be 
appropriately reasonable and within 
industry norms.

We also reconciled the vesting of the 
share-based payment arrangements to 
disclosures made in both the key 
management personnel compensation 
note and the disclosures in the 
Remuneration Report.

Other Information 
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises 
the information in the Group’s annual report for the period ended 30 June 2018 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. 

2018 Annual Report

Independent auditor’s report to members (cont’d.)

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

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

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of 
the Group 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 has no realistic alternative 
but to do so.

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these financial statements is 
located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:

http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf

This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.
