REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Iron Ridge Project During the 2020 financial year, the Company progressed towards development of its 100%-owned, flagship Iron Ridge iron ore project (Iron Ridge Project). Feasibility Study confirms the technical and financial viability of Iron Ridge On 4 November 2019, Fenix announced the findings of the Feasibility Study (FS) relating to the Iron Ridge Project. The FS revealed a high-grade and high-quality project that provides strong returns over its life of mine (LOM). The FS estimated that Iron Ridge will have modest initial capital cost of just $11.9 million, 44% of which will not have to be paid until after the expected first shipment is dispatched. The FS included a maiden Ore Reserve of 7.76Mt at 63.9% Fe. This underpins forecast annual production of 1.25 million tonnes. The forecast annual earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) is $16.4 million is based on C1 cash operating costs of $76.86 a tonne and an assumed 62% Fe index price of $111.43 per dry metric tonne (dmt) (US$78/t at an AUD:USD exchange rate of US$0.70 per A$). This compares with the benchmark price as at 2 September 2020 of approximately $174/dmt. Iron Ridge, which is located 490km from the Port of Geraldton in Western Australia, is planned to be a Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) operation. Ore will be crushed and screened on site and separated into lump and fines product before being trucked to port. The FS confirmed the following key attributes of Iron Ridge: o High-grade nature of the deposit; o Existing infrastructure that is currently under-utilised (bitumen roads, surplus port storage capacity, surplus ship loading capacity); o Granted Mining Lease which contains all the Mineral Resource; o Rapid Delivery Time with the ability to mine ore from month one of operations; and o Meaningful production at a simple single-excavator scale able to maintain a steady state production profile of 1.25Mtpa.

For full details of the FS, please see the Company’s ASX release dated 4 November 2019 “Feasibility Study shows Iron Ridge will generate outstanding cashflow and financial returns”. The FS was based on the independently modelled Mineral Resource estimated by CSA Global using a 58% Fe cut-off grade. The resulting Indicated and Inferred Resource is 10.5Mt at 64.2% Fe (Refer ASX release dated 21 August 2019 “Significant Increase in Iron Ridge Mineral Resource”) outlined below: Table 2: Iron Ridge Project – Mineral Resource estimate Classification Indicated Inferred Total Tonnes Mt 10.0 0.5 10.5 Fe % 64.3 62.5 64.2 Al2O3 % 2.56 2.80 2.57 LOI % 1.90 3.13 1.96 P % 0.046 0.046 0.046 SiO2 % 3.21 4.41 3.26 TiO2 % 0.09 0.12 0.09 Based on the Mineral Resource estimate, independent consultant, Mining Plus conducted a series of pit optimisations and mine designs with input from geotechnical, hydrological and mining consultants. Detailed mine design and mine scheduling was then conducted before Fenix conducted a detailed Request for Proposals (RFP) from several mining services proponents. Ore Reserves were then declared by Mining Plus based on a combined fines and lump production rate of 1.25Mtpa with a life of mine waste to ore stripping ratio of 2.86:1.

For the year ended 30 June 2020, remuneration for a Non-Executive Director/Chairman was between $60,000 and $144,000 per annum exclusive of superannuation. There are no termination or retirement benefits paid to Non-Executive Directors (other than statutory superannuation). Total remuneration for all Non-Executive Directors was last voted on by shareholders on 30 November 2010, whereby it is not to exceed $300,000 per annum. Directors’ fees cover all normal Board activities. A Director may also be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine, if a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs duties outside the scope of the normal duties of a Director. A Director may also be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of their directorship or any special duties. At the date of this report the Company has not entered into any agreements with Directors or senior executives which include performance-based components. Non-Executive Directors are able to participate in the employee share option or performance rights plans. In addition, in order to align their interests with those of shareholders, the Non-Executive Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. The Company has established an employee options plan (Plan) to attract Directors with suitable qualifications, skills and experience to plan, carry out and evaluate the Company’ Strategy and to motivate and retain those directors and employees. Participants in the Plan may be Directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other related body corporate of the Company. On 18 February 2020 shareholders approved the issue of options to Directors, the options vested immediately. During the year the Company did not engage remuneration consultants. At the 2019 annual general meeting, the resolution relating to the adoption of the remuneration report was passed by a show of hands.

FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 27 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 3 OPERATING SEGMENTS Management has determined that the Group has one reportable segment, being exploration activities at the Iron Ridge Project. During the prior period the Group had two reportable segments, being the Iron Ridge Project and Beyondie Project. The Group withdrew from the Beyondie Project during the prior period. This determination is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board (chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. As the Group is focused on exploration, the Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred by area of interest. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the Group and its ongoing exploration activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.

Prometheus owns 100% of mining lease M20/118-I located approximately 67km from the mining town of Cue in the Midwest region of Western Australia (the Iron Ridge Project or Project). The transaction was completed on 22 November 2018.

No goodwill will arise on the acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition will be included in the capitalised cost of the asset. In determining when an acquisition is determined to be an asset acquisition and not a business, significant judgement is required to assess whether the assets acquired constitute a business in accordance with AASB 3. Under AASB 3 a business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted or managed for the purpose of providing a return, and consists of inputs and processes, which when applied to those inputs has the ability to create outputs. Management determined that the acquisition of Prometheus Mining Pty Ltd was an asset acquisition. Fair value of asset acquisition During the prior period 55,000,000 ordinary shares and 112,500,000 performance shares were issued in consideration for the Iron Ridge Project. The fair value of consideration was by reference to the fair value of shares and performance rights issued in connection with the acquisition in accordance with AASB 2, see Note 17. The fair value of the assets and liabilities was determined to be $2,200,000.

The utilisation of the tax losses is subject to the Group passing the required Continuity of Ownership and Same Business Test rules at the time the losses are utilised. Net deferred tax assets have not been brought to account as it is not probable within the immediate future that tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary difference can be utilised.

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 The carrying values of items of exploration and evaluation expenditure are reviewed for impairment indicators at each reporting date and are subject to impairment testing when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. These reviews gave rise to an impairment charge on the Beyondie Project during the year 30 June 2020 of nil (30 June 2019: $20,889). Significant accounting judgement Capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure The Group has capitalised significant exploration and evaluation expenditure on the basis that this is expected to be recouped through future successful development (or alternatively sale) of the areas of interest concerned or on the basis that it is not yet possible to assess whether it will be recouped. 9 INTEREST IN JOINT VENTURE During the prior year, Fenix Resources Limited formed a strategic alliance with trucking and logistics company, Newhaul Pty Ltd (Newhaul). Fenix and Newhaul have formed a new joint venture company (JVC) known as Fenix Newhaul Pty Ltd (FN). It is intended that FN will provide all trucking services for the Iron Ridge Project. Interests in joint ventures Set out below is the joint venture of the Group as at 30 June 2020 which, in the opinion of the directors, is immaterial to the Group. The entity listed below has share capital consisting solely of ordinary shares, which are held directly by the Group. The country of incorporation or registration is also their principal place of business, and the proportion of ownership interest is the same as the proportion of voting rights held. Name of entity Place of business/ country of incorporation Measurement method Fenix Newhaul Pty Ltd Western Australia Equity method 1 As the entity is a private entity no quoted prices are available. Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements Control Assessment % of ownership interest Quoted fair value 2020 2019 2020 2019 % 50 % 50 $ $ N/A (1) N/A (1) The Directors determined that they jointly control the JVC. The Group has a 50% interest in the issued capital of this entity, with the other 50% being owned by Newhaul Pty Ltd. Each of the shareholder groups have one Board member representing their interests, with decisions around the JVC being made jointly. Carrying value of interest in joint venture The JVC has not had any activity during the year and currently has a nil carrying value, as a result no impairment assessment has been performed. FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 32 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 10 INTEREST IN JOINT OPERATIONS Under an agreement entered into with De Grey Mining Limited on 1 May 2008, Fenix had rights to 80% of the iron ore, vanadium and manganese on EL52/1806 and EL52/2215. The Company will sole fund the tenements until it makes a decision to mine. De Grey Mining Limited may then contribute on its 20% interest basis or convert to a 2% net smelter royalty. During the prior year the Company advised De Grey Mining Limited that it had withdrawn from the Beyondie Farmin Agreement and therefore relinquished its 80% interest in the iron ore rights to the Beyondie Project in Western Australia. As at 30 June 2020, the Company had no interest in joint operations (30 June 2019: nil). Assets employed by these joint ventures and the Company’s expenditure in respect of them is brought to account initially as capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure until a formal joint venture agreement is entered into. Thereafter, investment in joint ventures is recorded distinctly from capitalised exploration costs incurred on the Company’s 100% owned projects. Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements Classification of joint arrangements The joint venture agreements in relation to EL52/1806 and EL52/2215 require unanimous consent from all parties for all relevant activities. The two partners have direct rights to the assets of the partnership and are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities incurred by the partnership. This entity is therefore classified as a joint operation and the group recognises its direct right to the jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as described in Note 30(a). 11 TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Trade and other payables are normally settled within 30 days from receipt of notice. All amounts recognised a trade and other payables, but not yet invoiced, are expected to settle within 12 months. The carrying value of trade and other payables are assumed to be the same as their fair value, due to their short-term nature. Refer to Note 18 for details of the risk exposure and management of the Group’s trade and other receivables. 12 PROVISIONS The current provision for employee benefits relate to annual leave which is provided for all employees of the Group in line with their employment contracts and the balance for the year ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 is expected to be settled within 12 months. The measurement and recognition criteria relating to employee benefits have been included in Note 30(p) to this report. 2020 $ 2019 $ Trade payables 79,288 512,541 Sundry payables and accruals 59,709 118,565 131,997 631,106 2020 $ 2019 $ Employee benefits 11,301 4,121 FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 33 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 13 BORROWINGS Working capital loan – October 2018 On 19 October 2018, the Company entered into a short- term loan facility for up to $300,000, with a sophisticated investor to provide working capital during the company’s recompliance. The loan was a fixed in Australian dollars, at a fixed daily interest rate of 0.085% and due to their short-term nature the carrying value are assumed to be the same as their fair value. On 29 November 2018, the Company completed its recompliance and was readmitted to trading. On 10 December 2018 the loan was repaid. Director loans – Acquired as part of Asset Acquisition On 10 September 2018, the shareholders of the Company approved the acquisition of Prometheus Mining Pty Ltd. On 22 November 2018 the acquisition was completed. Prometheus had entered into short-term loans from Directors to provide working capital during the acquisition for up to $20,000. A reconciliation of the loan is in the table. Notes 2019 $ Loan drawn down Facility fee Advance fee Interest payable Repayment 2 2 2 117,044 30,000 1,172 3,291 (151,507) - On 29 November 2018, the Company completed its recompliance and was readmitted to trading. During the year allowable expenditure in excess of the loan amounts had been presented to the company and the loan amounts were repaid. The loans were fixed in Australian dollars, at an interest rate of 12% per annum and due to their short-term nature the carrying value are assumed to be the same as their fair value. Loans acquired Loans repaid Note 4 The loan agreements state that in the event of acquisition the loan amount will be repaid in the order of allowable expenditure in respect of the Western Australian mining lease M20/118-I validly incurred and evidenced by the Company, with any interest forgiven. If there is no allowable expenditure, then the loan holder agrees upon acquisition to forgive the whole of the loan amount and any interest payable. 14 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 2019 $ 19,800 (19,800) - This note provides an update on the judgements and estimates made by the Group in determining the fair values of the financial instruments since the last annual financial report. Fair value hierarchy To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group classifies its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation follows. At 30 June 2020 and 2019, no such assets or liabilities were recorded at fair value. There were no transfers between levels during the period. The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period. FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 34 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 14 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) The fair value of financial assets and liabilities held by the Group must be estimated for recognition, measurement and/or disclosure purposes. The Group measures fair values by level, per the following fair value measurement hierarchy: 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 Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period. Valuation techniques used to determine fair values The Group’s did not have any financial instruments that are recognised in the financial statements where their carrying value differed from the fair value. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The carrying amounts of cash and short-term trade and other receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their fair values largely due to the short-term maturities of these payments. 15 ISSUED CAPITAL (a) Issued Capital 2020 Shares 2019 Shares 2020 $ 2019 $ Fully paid 285,765,644 272,515,633 27,755,148 27,755,148 Movements in ordinary share capital during the prior financial year are as follows: Details Note Date Number of shares Issue price $ $ Balance at 1 July 2018 226,991,001 19,375,906 Balance at 12 September 2018 12-Sep-18 226,991,001 Share consolidation 5:1 Issue of shares Issue of shares – Acquisition of Prometheus Mining Pty Ltd Issue of options Issue of shares Issue of shares - Conversion performance rights Issue of shares Less: Share issue costs Balance at 30 June 2019 45,398,133 22-Nov-18 112,500,000 4 22-Nov-18 55,000,000 - - 0.04 0.04 4,500,000 2,200,000 22-Nov-18 - - 5,900 11-Apr-19 31,930,000 0.055 1,756,150 22-May-19 4,937,500 - - 18-Jun-19 22,750,000 0.055 1,251,250 272,515,633 (1,334,058) 27,755,148 FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 35 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 15 ISSUED CAPITAL (continued) Movements in ordinary share capital during the financial year are as follows: Details Notes Date Number of shares Issue price $ $ 272,515,633 27,755,148 17(b) 07-Jul-19 1,500,000 17(c) 20-Jan-20 11 17(b) / 17 (d) 31-Jan-20 11,750,000 - - - - - - - 285,765,644 27,755,148 Balance at 1 July 2019 Issue of shares - Conversion performance rights Issue of shares - Conversion performance shares Issue of shares - Conversion performance rights Less: Share issue costs Balance at 30 June 2020 (b) Reserves The following table shows a breakdown of the reserves and the movements in these reserves during the year.

The fair value of options issued is measured by reference to the value of the goods or services received. The fair value of services received in return for share options granted to Directors, employees and consultants is measured by reference to the fair value of options granted. The fair value of services received by advisors couldn’t be reliably measured and are therefore measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The estimate of the fair value of the services is measured based on a Black-Scholes option valuation methodology.

Each performance right will vest as an entitlement to one fully paid ordinary share upon achievement of certain performance milestones. If the performance milestones are not met, the performance rights will lapse and the eligible participant will have no entitlement to any shares. Performance rights are not listed and carry no dividend or voting rights. Upon exercise each performance right is convertible into one fully paid ordinary share to rank pari passu in all respects with existing fully paid ordinary shares. Movement in the performance rights for the current year is shown below: Grant date Expiry date Exercise price Balance at start of the period Granted during the period Converted during the period Cancelled during the period Balance at period end Vested at period end 19-Feb-19 18-Feb-22 11-Apr-19 13-May-22 - - Total 5,812,500 6,000,000 11,812,500 - - - (2,750,000) (2,937,500) 125,000 (4,500,000) - 1,500,000 (7,250,000) (2,937,500) 1,625,000 - - - The weighted average remaining contractual life of performance rights outstanding at 30 June 2020 was 1.85 years (30 June 2019: 2.75 years). Management note that on 9 April 2020, 9 June 2020 and 23 July 2020 performance rights granted on 19 February 2019 were cancelled for nil consideration following cessation of eligible participants’ employment with the company. The cancellation of vested performance rights did not impact the amount recognised for services received over the vesting period. The cancellation of unvested performance rights was accounted for as a reversal of previously recognised expense. As at 30 June 2020, management believe that all other performance and service hurdles will be met and accordingly have recognised a share-based payment expense over the respective vesting periods. The total Director, employee and consultant share performance rights expensed expense arising from performance rights recognised during the reporting period as part of share-based payment expense were as follows: Performance rights granted during prior periods Reversal of performance rights expense Performance rights granted during the year 2020 $ 2019 $ 296,508 (76,289) - 220,219 - 628,761 628,761 (c) Performance shares On 22 November 2018 the Company issued 55,000,000 shares and 112,500,000 performance shares to the vendors of Prometheus in consideration for the acquisition of 100% of the mining lease M20/118-I. Performance shares were split between four milestones, being 15 million under Milestone A, 30 million under Milestone B, 37.5 million under Milestone C and 30 million under Milestone D. On achievement of the milestones each performance share will convert into one ordinary fully paid share, if the milestone are not achieved the performance shares consolidate and entitle each holder to one ordinary fully paid share per holder per milestone. There are a total of 11 holders of the performance shares. FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 39 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 17 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (continued) Milestones are as follows: Milestone A Milestone B Milestone C Milestone D On declaration of an Inferred Mineral Resource of not less than 8 million tonnes of iron ore at 65% Fe grade in accordance with the JORC Code of 2012 within 6 months from commencement of drilling on the Tenement. On achievement of 1,000,000 tonnes cumulative of shipped iron ore production from the Tenement at an Operating Margin of greater than US$15 per dry metric tonne shipped within the earlier of 24 months from commencement of mining on the Tenement and 60 months from the Settlement Date. On achievement of 2,000,000 tonnes cumulative of shipped iron ore production from the Tenement at an Operating Margin of greater than US$15 per dry metric tonne shipped within the earlier of 36 months from commencement of mining on the Tenement and 60 months from the Settlement Date. On achievement of 3,000,000 tonnes cumulative of shipped iron ore production from the Tenement at an Operating Margin of greater than US$15 per dry metric tonne shipped within the earlier of 48 months from commencement of mining on the Tenement and 60 months from the Settlement Date. The fair value of consideration was by reference to the fair value of the share and performance shares issues in connection with the acquisition. The fair value of the shares issued was determined by reference to the share price on grant date, based on the fair value price ($0.04 per share), refer to Note 15 for details. The fair value of the performance shares was determined using a share option pricing model, after assigning a probability of achievement this was determined to be $0. Management assigned an average 8.6% probability of achievement in relation to the performance hurdles. As management assessed that the performance hurdles are unlikely to be met, the value of these rights was recorded as $0. The fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired were measured at $2,200,000, see Note 4 for further details. These assets were recognised as exploration asset in the Statement of Financial Position. On 9 July 2019, the Company advised that 15,000,000 Class A Performance Shares had not met the requirement for conversion and, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Performance Shares, all unconverted Class A Performance Shares held by the each holder were automatically consolidated into one Share each. As a result, during the year 11 ordinary fully paid shares were issued to holders of the performance shares (see Note 15). (d) Performance rights to advisors Movement in the performance rights for the current year is shown below: Grant date Expiry date Exercise price Balance at start of the period Granted during the period Converted during the period Lapsed during the period Balance at period end Vested at period end 19-Feb-19 18-Feb-22 - 9,000,000 - (6,000,000) (3,000,000) - - During the prior financial year: (cid:120) (cid:120) On 19 February 2019, 6,500,000 performance rights were issued to the MBC Enterprise (WA) Unit Trust in consideration for advisory fees. The fair value of the shares recognised was by direct reference to the fair value of service received. This was determined by the corresponding invoice received which amounted to $214,500 (excluding GST). This amount was recognised in the Statement of Financial Position under capital raising costs; On 19 February 2019, 5,500,000 performance rights were issued to the Advantage Management Trust in consideration for advisory fees. The fair value of the shares recognised was by direct reference to the fair value of service received. This was determined by the corresponding invoice received which amounted to $181,500 (excluding GST). This amount was recognised in the Statement of Financial Position under capital raising costs. FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 40 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 17 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (continued) During the prior year 3,000,000 performance rights were converted. Management note that on 9 June 2020, 3,000,000 performance rights granted on 19 February 2019 had lapsed following cessation of advisors’ services with the company. The cancellation of vested and unvested performance rights did not impact the amount recognised for services. Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements Estimation of fair value of share-based payments The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes or Monte-Carlo model taking into account the assumptions detailed within this note. Probability of vesting conditions being achieved Inputs to pricing models may require an estimation of reasonable expectations about achievement of future vesting conditions. Vesting conditions must be satisfied for the counterparty to become entitled to receive cash, other assets or equity instruments of the entity, under a share-based payment arrangement. Vesting conditions include service conditions, which require the other party to complete a specified period of service, and performance conditions, which require specified performance targets to be met (such as a specified increase in the entity's profit over a specified period of time) or completion of performance hurdles. The Group recognises an amount for the goods or services received during the vesting period based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest and shall revise that estimate, if necessary, if subsequent information Indicates that the number of equity instruments expected to vest differs from previous estimates. On vesting date, the entity shall revise the estimate to equal the number of equity instruments that ultimately vested. The achievement of future vesting conditions are reassessed each reporting period. 18 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT Overview The financial risks that arise during the normal course of the Group’s operations comprise market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. In managing financial risk, it is policy to seek a balance between the potential adverse effects of financial risks on financial performance and position, and the "upside" potential made possible by exposure to these risks and by taking into account the costs and expected benefits of the various risk management methods available to manage them. General objectives, policies and processes The Board is responsible for approving policies on risk oversight and management and ensuring management has developed and implemented effective risk management and internal control. The Board receives reports as required from the Managing Director in which they review the effectiveness of the processes implemented and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. The Board oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced. These disclosures are not, nor are they intended to be an exhaustive list of risks to which the Group is exposed. FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 41 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 18 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Financial Instruments The Group has the following financial instruments: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Other current assets Financial liabilities Trade and other payables (a) Market Risk 2020 $ 2019 $ 1,292,625 4,213,915 34,240 50,000 156,210 50,000 1,376,865 4,420,125 131,997 131,997 631,106 631,106 Market risk can arise from the Group’s use of interest-bearing financial instruments and exposure to commodity prices. It is a risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk) and fluctuations in commodity prices (commodity price risk). (i) Interest rate risk The Board manages the Group's exposure to interest rate risk by regularly assessing exposure, taking into account funding requirements and selecting appropriate instruments to manage its exposure. As at the 30 June 2020, the Group has interest-bearing assets, being cash at bank (30 June 2019 cash at bank). As such, the Group's income and operating cash flows is not highly dependent on material changes in market interest rates. Sensitivity analysis The Group does not consider this to be a material risk/exposure to the Group and have therefore not undertaken any further analysis. The weighted average effective interest rate of funds on deposit is 0.43% (30 June 2019: 1.81%). (ii) Commodity price risk As the Group has not yet entered into mineral or energy production, the risk exposure to changes in commodity price is not considered significant. (b) Credit risk Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with financial institutions, as well as trade receivables. Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. For cash balances held with bank or financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘AA-’ are accepted. The Board are of the opinion that the credit risk arising as a result of the concentration of the Group's assets is more than offset by the potential benefits gained. FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 42 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 18 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the assets as summarised, none of which are impaired or past due.

FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 43 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 18 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) (c) 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. Through continuous monitoring of forecast and actual cash flows the Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves to meet future cash needs. The decision on how the Group will raise future capital will depend on market conditions existing at that time. Maturities of financial liabilities The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Less than 6 months $ 6 - 12 months $ 1 - 5 years $ Over 5 years $ Total contractual cash flows $ Carrying amount of liabilities $ At 30 June 2020 Trade and other payables 131,997 At 30 June 2019 Trade and other payables 631,106 - - - - - - 131,997 131,997 631,106 631,106 (d) Capital risk management The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern. This is to provide returns for shareholders, benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Board monitors capital on an ad-hoc basis. No formal targets are in place for return on capital, or gearing ratios, as the Group has not derived any income from operations. 19 LOSS PER SHARE Basic and diluted loss per share 2020 2019 Net loss after tax attributable to the members of the Company $ (1,274,638) $ (2,613,166) Weighted average number of ordinary shares (1) 278,826,429 154,630,907 Basic and diluted loss per share (cents) (0.46) (1.69) 1 On the 14 September 2018, the Company completed the share consolidation of a 5:1 ratio, see Note 15. FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 44 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 20 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies. This Note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity and items which are more likely to be materially adjusted. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in the Notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements. Significant accounting estimates and judgements The areas involving significant estimates or judgements are: (cid:131) (cid:131) (cid:131) (cid:131) (cid:131) (cid:131) (cid:131) (cid:131) (cid:131) (cid:131) Asset acquisition not constituting a business combination – Note 4; Fair value of assets acquisition – Note 4; Recognition of deferred tax asset for carried forward tax losses — Note 5; Impairment of assets – Note 8; Capitalisation of exploration expenditure – Note 8; Control assessment – Note 9; Carrying value of interest in Joint Venture – Note 9; Classification of joint arrangement – Note 10; Probability of vesting conditions being achieved– Note 17; and Estimation of fair value of share-based payments – Note 17. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There have been no actual adjustments this year as a result of an error and of changes to previous estimates. 21 CONTINGENCIES (a) Contingent liabilities There were no material contingent liabilities not provided for in the financial statements of the Company as at 30 June 2020 or 30 June 2019 other than: Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage Native title claims have been made with respect to areas which include tenements in which the Company has an interest.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES This note explains the changes in the Group’s accounting policies as a result of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases, the prior year financial statements did not have to be restated as a result. (a) AASB 16 Leases (“AASB 16”) AASB 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for lessees currently accounted for under AASB 117 Leases. It instead requires an entity to bring most leases onto its Statement of Financial Position in a similar way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset in its Statement of Financial Position for most leases. There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period of 12 months or less and for low value leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from AASB 117. The entity has undertaken a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 16 and the standard has not had a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements. FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 50 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 30 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES • Fenix Resources Limited (Company or Fenix) is a company incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. Fenix Resources Limited is the ultimate parent entity of the Group. The consolidated financial statements of Fenix Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 comprise the Company and its controlled subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group and individually as Group entities). Statement of compliance These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. Fenix Resources Limited is a for- profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs and do 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. Critical accounting estimates and significant judgements critical accounting estimates. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of requires certain Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within Note 20. It also New and amended standards adopted by the Group The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2019 that are relevant to the Group include: • • AASB 16 Leases AASB 2017-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation AASB 2017-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures • • AASB 2018-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — Annual Improvements 2015- 2017 cycle AASB 2018-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement • Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. The group had to change its accounting policies, however no retrospective adjustments following the adoption of AASB 16 were made. This is disclosed in Note 21. Most of the other amendments listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods. The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the Group’s accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior years. However, the above standards have affected the disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2020 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. The group's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future transactions. future reporting periods and on foreseeable There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting period and in the foreseeable future. Accounting Policies In order to assist in the understanding of the financial statements, the following summary explains the principle accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of the financial report. These policies have been applied consistently to all of the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. (a) Principles of Consolidation Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries of the Company at the end of the reporting period. Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. the FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 51 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Where a subsidiary has entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities is included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of subsidiaries is contained in Note 24 to the financial statements. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated in full on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of financial position. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Equity method Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in in other other comprehensive comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. income of the investee When the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in Note 30(h). Changes in ownership interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Fenix Resources Limited. When the Group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean in other amounts previously comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. recognised that If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. (b) Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker, which has been identified by the company as the Board. (c) Foreign Currency Translation Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (‘the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Fenix Resources Limited’s functional and presentation currency. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. No dividends were paid or proposed during the year. Group companies The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: (cid:120) assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 52 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 (cid:120) rates (unless income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange reasonable this approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and is not a (cid:120) all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange difference is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. (d) Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. Revenue for other business activities is recognised on the following basis: Interest income Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset. (e) Income Tax and Other Taxes The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’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 in the countries where the company’s reporting period subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is It establishes provision where subject to appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. interpretation. 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, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also 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 substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period 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 foreign operations where the company 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. Fenix Resources Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements. it relates to Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to in other the extent that comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. items recognised (f) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: (cid:120) where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and (cid:120) receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 53 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flow arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. obligations to restore operating locations in the period in which the obligation arises. The estimated costs are capitalised as part of the cost of the related project where recognition occurs in the operating locations. The costs are then recognised as an expense on a units of production basis during the production phase of the project. (g) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure (h) Impairment of Assets The Group’s policy with respect to exploration and evaluation expenditure is to use the area of interest method. This method allows the costs associated with the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of a prospect to be aggregated on the consolidated statement of financial position and matched against the benefits derived from commercial production once this commences. Costs Exploration lease acquisition costs relating to exploration provinces are initially capitalised and then amortised over the shorter term of the lease or the expected life of the project. All other exploration and evaluation costs, including general permit activity, geological and geophysical costs and new venture activity costs are charged as expenses as incurred except where: (cid:120) (cid:120) such evaluation costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. Areas of interest are recognised at permit level. Subsequent to the recognition of an area of interest, all further costs relating to the Area of Interest are initially capitalised. Each area of interest is reviewed at least bi-annually to determine whether economic quantities of reserves exist or whether further exploration and evaluation work is required to support the continued carry forward of capitalised costs. To the extent it is considered that the relevant expenditure will not be recovered, it is written off. In the statement of cash flows, those cash flows associated with the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure are classified as cash flows used in investing activities exploration and evaluation expenditure expensed is classified as cash flows used in operating activities. Future restoration costs The Group’s aim is to avoid or minimise environmental impacts resulting from its operations and reviews work scope and cost estimates for restoration annually. The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s values in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. 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. losses relating to continuing operations are Impairment recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at re- valued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease). last impairment As assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had the impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at the re- valued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. (i) Cash and Cash Equivalents Provision is made in the consolidated statement of financial position for the estimated costs of legal and constructive For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cash in bank accounts, money FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 54 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 market investments readily convertible to cash within two working days, and bank bills but net of outstanding bank overdrafts. (j) Trade and Other Receivables Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful debts. Current receivables for GST are due for settlement within 30 days and other current receivables within 12 months. (k) Investments and Other Financial Assets Investments and other financial assets Classification The Group classifies measurement categories: its financial assets in the following (l) Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. 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 Group 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. Depreciation is calculated using both the diminishing value and straight-line methods to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives: - - those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss), and those to be measured at amortised cost. - - Office equipment 2 - 20 years Field Equipment 3 - 20 years 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 group 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). The group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Measurement At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (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. Impairment The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. 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. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. (m) Acquisition of Assets Where an entity or operation is acquired, the identifiable assets acquired (and, where applicable, identifiable liabilities assumed) are to be measured at the acquisition date at their relative fair values of the purchase consideration. Where the acquisition is a group of assets or net assets, the cost of acquisition will be apportioned to the individual assets acquired (and, where applicable, liabilities assumed). Where a group of assets acquired does not form an entity or operation, the cost of acquisition is apportioned to each asset in proportion to the fair values of the assets as at the acquisition date. (n) Share-Based Payment Transactions Benefits to Employees and consultants (including Directors) The Group provides benefits to employees and consultants (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 or options (“equity- settled transactions”). The costs of these equity settled transactions are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. The fair value of performance rights granted is determined using the single barrier share option pricing model. The fair value of options granted is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing technique. Further details FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 55 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 of options and performance rights granted are disclosed in Note 17. The cost of these equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the profit or loss is the product of: (i) the fair value at grant date of the award; (ii) the current best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being met; and (iii) the expired portion of the vesting period. The charge to the profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding credit to equity. Until an equity instrument has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer equity instruments vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any equity instrument subject to a market condition is valued as if it will vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied. If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum, an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been for any modified. An additional expense modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the recipient of the award, as measured at the date of modification. is recognised If an equity-settled transaction is cancelled (other than a grant cancelled by forfeiture when the vesting conditions are not satisfied), 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 equity instrument is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new equity instrument are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the preceding paragraph. Benefits to Vendors The Group provides benefits to vendors of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby the vendor has render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares or options (“equity-settled transactions”). The fair value is measured by reference to the value of the goods or services received. If these cannot be reliably measured, then by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The cost of these equity-settled transactions is recognised over the period in which the service was received. (o) Fair Value Estimation The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximately their fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. (p) Employee Entitlements The Group’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date is recognised in other payables. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, and annual leave which will be settled within one year, have been measured at their nominal amount and include related on-costs. (q) Loss Per Share Basic loss per share Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating loss attributable to the equity holder of the Group after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the year. (r) 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 period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition. (s) Leases Right-of-use assets A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 56 - For personal use only NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 (w) Parent Entity Financial Information The financial information for the parent entity, Fenix Resources Limited, disclosed in Note 28 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements except as set out below: Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost and subject to an annual impairment review. for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. impairment or adjusted The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. Lease liabilities A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. (t) Contributed Equity 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. (u) Dividends No dividends were paid or proposed during the year. (v) Comparatives Comparative figures have been restated to conform with the current year’s presentation. This has had no impact on the financial statements. FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED - 57 - For personal use only DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION The Directors of the Group declare that: 1. 2. 3. 4.
