NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Fin Resources is an ASX listed company (ASX:FIN) focussed on the development of the North Onslow Solar
Salt Project (NOSSP). The NOSSP consists of six exploration licences totalling 425 km2 located in a proven salt
production region with ideal climatic conditions to produce high purity salt. The Company is investigating the
use of renewable energy in the form of wind and solar energy to create a zero-carbon footprint project and
potentially fuel renewable product streams like Hydrogen and other green by-products.
Fin Resources Limited

2021 Annual Report to Shareholders
Directors’ Report
The Company’s other key project, McKenzie Springs, is located within the Kimberley Region of Western
Australia, 85km north-east of the township of Halls Creek. The Project covers an area of approximately 134km2
including identified nickel, copper, cobalt and graphite occurrences. The McKenzie Springs Project is
considered prospective for magmatic Ni-Cu sulphide and PGE mineralisation.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
NOSSP
On 28 April 2021, the Company announced it had entered into a binding agreement to acquire an 80% interest
in the NOSSP from North West Solar Salt Pty Ltd (NWSS). The NOSSP comprises five granted exploration
licences and one pending exploration licence (together, the Tenements) covering 425km2. The NOSSP is
adjacent to an existing solar salt project that has been successfully operated by Mitsui and Co for 20 years
with a production capacity of 2.7 million tonnes and also BCI Minerals Limited’s Mardie Salt & Potash Project,
a potential Tier 1 project located on the West Pilbara coast in the centre of Australia's key salt production
region.
Under the Agreement, as consideration for the acquisition of an 80% interest in the Tenements FIN will:
issue 83,333,333 fully paid ordinary shares to NWSS or its nominee; and
▪
▪ pay A$500,000 to NWSS.
With effect on and from completion of the acquisition, FIN (or the FIN Nominee, as applicable) and NWSS will
form an unincorporated joint venture in respect of the NOSSP, under which the joint venture interest of FIN
(or the FIN Nominee) will be 80% and NWSS will be 20%. NWSS’ 20% joint venture interest will be free carried
by FIN to completion of a Definitive Feasibility (as defined in JORC 2012).
The shareholders of NWSS will retain a 1% gross revenue royalty interest in the NOSSP. At completion of the
Acquisition, FIN (or the FIN Nominee, as applicable) will assume the obligation to pay the 1% gross revenue
royalty to the extent of its 80% joint venture interest in the NOSSP.
Studies are underway to optimise the operational, environmental and economic feasibility of establishing a
solar salt operation as a foundation asset underpinning a long-term regional strategy.
The base salt project at the North Onslow Solar Salt Project (NOSSP) is envisaged as a sustainable operation
that utilises renewable energy to produce industrial grade salt, via evaporation of seawater using wind and
solar energy to achieve a zero-carbon footprint. Several initiatives to further explore and quantify this
potential are being included in the current scoping study work, including:
▪ Sulphate of potash (“SOP”) as an additional potential product stream;
▪ The renewable energy potential of the 425km2 land position;
▪ Salt/freshwater membrane separation to produce a more concentrated brine; and
▪ Downstream products, such as chlor-alkali, hydrogen, ammonia and methanol.
McKenzie Springs Project
During the year the Company met its minimum expenditure requirements in order to earn an additional 19%
interest in the McKenzie Springs Project (E80/4808). This completed the Farm-In stage of the agreement with
Cazaly Resources (CAZ) where FIN now holds a 70% interest and CAZ a 30% interest. Each party will now be
required to contribute to future exploration expenditure according to their interest.
The Company completed its Maiden drilling program in October 2020. The maiden drill program consisted of
3 holes (~950m in total) along a prospective strike length of 1.2km within Fin’s tenements. Whilst the drilling
did not intersect significant sulphides, broad disseminated zones of sulphides were encountered and several
weak to strong in-hole and off-hole anomalies were identified, many of which are likely to be related to
sulphide mineralisation.

2021 Annual Report to Shareholders
Directors’ Report
Fin completed rehabilitation of the three diamond holes previously drilled at McKenzie Springs. A review of
the historic and recent geochemical data has commenced with a particular focus on the area pertaining to
the Spring Creek layered intrusion. Further geological and geophysical modelling is in process. Next steps in
the exploration program are being considered and formulated.
South Big Bell Project
The South Big Bell Project is located 25km west of the township of Cue in the Murchison Goldfields. The
Project comprises a single granted Exploration Licence, namely E20/900. Limited exploration work was
completed on the Project during the year.
Sentinel Project
The Sentinel Project is located 130km east-northeast of the township of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields.

Remuneration Policy
The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors. The
Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a yearly basis
by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum
stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality board and executive team. The expected outcome of
this remuneration structure is to retain and motivate Directors.
As part of its Corporate Governance Policies and Procedures, the board has adopted a formal Remuneration
Committee Charter and Remuneration Policy. The Board has elected not to establish a remuneration committee
based on the size of the organisation and has instead agreed to meet as deemed necessary and allocate the
appropriate time at its board meetings.
Fees and payments to non‑executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities
of the directors. Non‑executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. Non‑executive
directors do not receive performance-based pay, other than performance rights issued in the prior year.

2020 Annual Report to Shareholders
Fin Resources Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
1. Corporate Information
The financial report of Fin Resources Limited (“Fin Resources”, “Fin” or “the Company”) and its subsidiaries (the
“Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the
Directors on 13 September 2021. Fin Resources is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia
whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and the
principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ Report.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements are general-purpose financial statements, which 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 have also been
prepared on a historical cost basis. The presentation currency is Australian dollars.
(b) Going concern
The financial statements have been approved by the Directors on a going concern basis. In determining the
appropriateness of the basis of preparation, the Directors have considered the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on the position of the Group at 30 June 2021 and its operations in future periods.
(c) Statement of compliance
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report,
comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS).
(d) Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 20.
(e) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent (Fin
Resources Limited) and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has the
power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence
and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when
assessing whether a Company controls another entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in note 14(c).
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and
expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-company transactions have been eliminated in full.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered. 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 and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position.
(g) Employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long
service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being
measured reliably.
Fin Resources Limited
17
2021 Annual Report to Shareholders
Fin Resources Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured
at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities
recognised in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are
measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of
services provided by employees up to reporting date.
(h) 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 (i.e. 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 (i.e. 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 (i.e.
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 consolidated financial statements.
Valuation techniques
In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more
valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, The Group selects a valuation technique
that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The
availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or
liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of
the following valuation approaches:
− Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by
market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
−
Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses
into a single discounted present value.
− Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current
service capacity.
− Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use
when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique,
the Group gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the
use of unobservable inputs.
Fin Resources Limited
18
2021 Annual Report to Shareholders
Fin Resources Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions)
and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are
considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed
using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.
Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises
fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is
significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:
Level 1
Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2
Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3
Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the 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. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or
liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the
asset or liability is included in Level 3.
The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances:
i. if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice
versa; or
ii. if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa.
When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value
hierarchy (i.e. transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change
in circumstances occurred.
(i) Financial instruments
Financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured
at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value
adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as
hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:
▪ amortised cost;
▪
▪
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and
fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
Classifications are determined by both:
▪ the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets; and
▪ the entities business model for managing the financial asset.
Fin Resources Limited
19
2021 Annual Report to Shareholders
Fin Resources Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not
designated as FVPL):
▪ they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its
contractual cash flows; and
▪ the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents,
trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge,
as appropriate.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs
unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial
liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and
financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses
recognised in profit or loss.
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, gains and losses arising on changes in fair value that are
recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment
From 1 July 2018, 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.
Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the financial instrument. Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are measured
initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried “at fair value through profit or
loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss. Where available, quoted prices in an active
market are used to determine the fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire,
or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is
derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
(j) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as
part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
ii.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of
receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST
component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable
to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.
Fin Resources Limited

2021 Annual Report to Shareholders
Fin Resources Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
(k) Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible 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 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-
generating 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.
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.
(l) Income tax
Current tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the
taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted
or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability
(or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method in respect of temporary
differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets
are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which
deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised.
However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them
arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination)
which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not
recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries,
branches, associates and joint ventures except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the
temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable
future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments
and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits
against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the
foreseeable future.
Fin Resources Limited
21
2021 Annual Report to Shareholders
Fin Resources Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s)
when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities
and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at
the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the
company/Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case
the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a
business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.
(m) Payables
Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Group becomes obliged to make future
payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.
(n) Revenue recognition
The Group has applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the cumulative effective
method. The Group does not have any revenue from contracts with customers.
Interest revenue
Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating
the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the
effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the
expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
(o) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an
exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are
satisfied:
the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
(i)
(ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
(a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful
development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
(b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the balance date reached a
stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically
recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are
continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore,
studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation
and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are
only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to
operational activities in a particular area of interest.

2021 Annual Report to Shareholders
Fin Resources Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that
the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has
been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the
impairment loss (if any).
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset 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
in previous years.
Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the
relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to
development. Where an area of interest is abandoned, any expenditure carried forward in respect of that
area is written off.
(p) Interests in joint ventures
Joint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture where
unanimous decisions about relevant activities are required. Separate joint venture entities providing joint
ventures with an interest to net assets are classified as a "joint venture" and accounted for using the equity
method.
Joint venture operations represent arrangements whereby joint operators maintain direct interests in each
asset and exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The Group's interests in the assets, liabilities, revenue
and expenses of joint operations are included in the respective line items of the consolidated financial
statements. Gains and losses resulting from sales to a joint operation are recognised to the extent of the other
parties' interests. When the Group makes purchases from a joint operation, it does not recognise its share of
the gains and losses from the joint arrangement until it resells those goods/assets to a third party.
(q) Share based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments with employees and others providing similar services are measured at
the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is measured either with reference to the
value of the goods and services provided or by use of a Black Scholes model. The expected life used in the
model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability,
exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. Further details on how the fair value of equity-settled
share-based transactions has been determined can be found in note 17.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with other parties are measured at the fair value of the
goods and services received, except where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are
measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the
goods or the counterparty renders the service.
For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability equal to the portion of the goods or services received is
recognised at the current fair value determined at each reporting date.
(r) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and
assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Fin
Resources Limited.
Fin Resources Limited
23
2021 Annual Report to Shareholders
Fin Resources Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
The entity does not have any operating segments with discrete financial information. The Board of Directors
review internal management reports on a monthly basis that is consistent with the information provided in
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position and
consolidated statement of cash flows. As a result, no reconciliation is required because the information as
presented is what is used by the Board to make strategic decision.
(s) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, management is required
to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results
of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The
estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the
period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key Sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty
at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be
recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the
existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted,
the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility
studies in such areas have not yet concluded.
Deferred tax assets
The Group recognises deferred tax assets when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be
derived in future periods against which to offset these assets. At each reporting date, the Group assesses the
level of expected future cash flows from the business and the probability associated with realising these cash
flows, and makes an assessment of whether the deferred tax assets of the Group should be recognised.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had,
or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the
products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group
operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any
significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or
conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of
the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
(t) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new
or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The Group has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 July 2020. The Conceptual Framework
contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several
Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements.

Financial Risk Management
The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for
speculative purposes. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Group’s policies approved by the
Board of Directors, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives.
Significant accounting policies
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the
basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of
financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 2 to the financial statements.
(a) Liquidity Risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing
facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of
financial assets and liabilities. The Group does not have non-current financial liabilities.
Fin Resources Limited
29
2021 Annual Report to Shareholders
Fin Resources Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
(b) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair
value of financial instruments. The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes to interest rate risk relates
primarily to its earnings on cash. The Group manages the risk by investing in short term deposits.
Interest rate sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables constant.

(26,091)
A sensitivity of 75 basis points has been used as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both
short term and long-term Australian Dollar interest rates. The change in basis points is derived from a review
of historical movements and management’s judgement of future trends.
(c) Credit Risk Exposures
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial
loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining
sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from
defaults.
The Group measures credit risk on a fair value basis. The Group does not have any significant credit risk
exposure to a single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The carrying
amount of financial assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements, net of any provisions for losses,
represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the fair value of any
collateral or other security obtained.

When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well
as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to
maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity. In order to maintain
or adjust the capital structure, the entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return
capital to shareholders, issue new shares, enter into joint ventures or sell assets.
There is no current intention to incur debt funding on behalf of the Company as on-going exploration
expenditure will be funded via cash reserves, equity or joint ventures with other companies. The Company is
not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
(e) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operated in Australia in the year ended 30 June 2021 and had no exposure to foreign exchange risk.
Fin Resources Limited

2021 Annual Report to Shareholders
Fin Resources Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021
(f) Fair value estimation
The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the
financial statements approximates their fair value. The Group has performed sensitivity analysis that
demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.
Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s corporate treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and
international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the
Group through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks
include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk
and cash flow interest rate risk.

extent of its 80% joint venture interest in NOSSP.
The Directors are not aware of any other contingent liabilities or contingent assets at the reporting date.

In order to maintain an interest in the exploration tenements in which the Group is involved, the Group is
committed to meet the conditions under which the tenements were granted and the obligations of any joint
venture agreements. The timing and amount of exploration expenditure commitments and obligations of the

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
FIN RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Our Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Fin Resources Limited (the Company) and its
subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at
30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for
the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion:
the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its
financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements
of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in
Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. 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.
We have determined the following matter described to be a Key Audit Matter to be
communicated in our report.
Key Audit Matter
How the matter was addressed in the
audit
Carrying Value of Exploration and
Evaluation Assets
As disclosed in Note 8 to the consolidated
financial statements, the carrying value of
the exploration and evaluation expenditure
as at 30 June 2021 was $900,245.
We have identified the carrying value of
exploration and evaluation expenditure as a
key audit matter due to:
• The necessity to assess management’s
application of the requirements of the
accounting standard Exploration for and
Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB
6”),
indicators of
impairment that may be present; and
light of any

• The

▪ Announcements made by the Group

iv. Evaluated the adequacy of disclosures in

standards.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 but does not
include the financial report and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have
nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that
gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. An audit involves
performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial report.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation
of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
resulting
intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
involve collusion,
from error, as
fraud may
forgery,
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial report.
We conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors' use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue
as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities
or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in Internal
control that we identify during our audit.
The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to
audit engagements. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, related safeguards.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 8 to 11 of the directors’ report for
the year ended 30 June 2021. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation
and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the
Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report,
based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Fin Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June
2021 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
