CHAIRMAN’S LETTER 

Dear Shareholder,  

2020 has been a pivotal year in the short history of Galileo Mining Ltd in which we accelerated exploration 

across our Fraser Range nickel joint venture project in Western Australia.  

In  twelve  short  months,  we  completed  three  rounds  of  aircore  drilling,  we  have  undertaken  on-ground  EM 

surveying and we have followed that up with RC drilling programs. 

Our optimism for discovering nickel sulphide is well founded. In March 2020 our first ever RC drilling program 

at the Lantern Prospect intersected disseminated nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation with drillhole LARC003 

returning 12 metres at 0.38% nickel, 0.33% copper from 124 metres down hole including 5 metres at 0.49% 

nickel and 0.46% copper from 126 metres.  

During  the  period,  we  also  laid the  groundwork  for  further  RC  drilling  which was  followed  by  the  first  ever 

diamond core drilling at Lantern Prospect, both of which began post year end. 

At  the  same  time,  we  carried  out  an  extensive  program  of  EM  surveying  aiming  to  identify  new  zones  of 

mineralisation in an area that is displaying all the right signs of becoming a significant nickel exploration project. 

Results from fixed Loop EM surveying showed a new conductive target 1.5km along strike from known sulphide 

mineralisation intersected at LARC003. This is an encouraging sign in our exploration for new nickel deposits 

as conductive targets can be associated with significant amounts of nickel sulphides. 

While we have been encouraged by our success on the ground during 2020, the year wasn’t without its tough 

times.  

The sudden passing of our Non-Executive Chairman Simon Jenkins in December 2019 was a very sad time for 

myself and for the Company.  In his role, Simon contributed greatly at the board level by providing a deep 

understanding of the corporate environment in particular during the 2018 public listing of the Company. Our 

thoughts are still very much with his family and friends.  

Looking  ahead,  we  are  entering  a  very  exciting  period  with  results  pending  for  our  first  diamond  drilling 

program at the Lantern Prospect. And over the next three to six months we will be conducting additional drilling 

to further advance our exploration projects.  

We have a pipeline of prospects; we have identified nickel sulphide mineralisation and the area we are exploring 

continues to prove it is one of the world’s best emerging nickel provinces.  

As a shareholder, I thank you for joining us on our journey as we target exploration success with the strong 

ambition to discover the next nickel mine in the Fraser Range region.  

Yours faithfully,  

Brad Underwood

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

The directors present their report on the Company and the Group (consisting of the Company and the entities 
it controlled during the period) for the financial year ended 30 June 2020. 

DIRECTORS 

The following directors have been in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless 
otherwise stated: 

Richard (Brad) Underwood (Managing Director and Chairman effective from 26 December 2019)  

 
  Noel O’Brien (Technical Director)  
  Mathew Whyte (Non-executive Director) (Appointed 26 December 2019)  
 

Simon Jenkins (Chairman) (Ceased 24 December 2019) 

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

The principal activity of the Group during the financial year was mineral exploration. 

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION 

The net loss of the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 after providing for income tax amounted 
to $912,561 (2019: $1,097,116). 

The Group has not reached a stage in its development where it is generating an operating profit. All the 
Group’s efforts go into project exploration and evaluation. 

At  the  end  of  the  financial  period  the  Group  had  cash  on  hand,  including  deposits  of  $8,697,061  (2019: 
$7,070,456) and Net Assets of $19,944,176 (2019: $15,956,047). 

DIVIDENDS 

No dividends have been declared since the end of the previous financial year and no dividends have been 
recommended by the directors. 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Galileo has two highly prospective West Australian resource and exploration projects being:  

1) The Fraser Range Project with exploration tenements prospective for nickel-copper-cobalt deposits, and 

2) The Norseman Project with a JORC compliant cobalt-nickel resource.  

During  the  financial  year,  the  Group’s  main  activities  were  on  exploration  at  the  Fraser  Range  Project 

through a series of drilling campaigns, electromagnetic (EM) surveying and other exploration activities.   

Mine  lease  and  miscellaneous  license  applications  at  the  Norseman  Cobalt  Project  made  considerable 

progress during the period however the fall in cobalt price has meant development work at the project is 

now a secondary focus for the Group.  If cobalt prices improve in the future, Norseman may again become 

a significant focus of the Group’s exploration and development programme. Post period end the mine lease 

and  associated  miscellaneous  licenses  for  the  Norseman  Cobalt  Project  were  granted.  Project  permit 

approvals will be a considerable value-add to the asset base at Norseman in the event cobalt prices recover 

sufficiently.

Corporate  

  Well-funded to continue exploration with approximately $8.7 million in cash and deposits as at 30 June 
2020 - putting the Group in a secure position during the current period of economic uncertainty.  
  Completed a well-supported capital raising of $5 million from a range of existing and new sophisticated 

and institutional investors. 

  Sudden passing of Non-Executive Chairman Simon Jenkins saw Brad Underwood appointed Chairman 

 

while Company Secretary, Mathew Whyte, joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director. 
The  COVID-19  global  health  emergency  resulted  in  a  short-term  postponement  of  exploration  field 
activities  during  March  2020.  The  Western  Australian  government  released  definitive  operating 
guidelines for exploration companies shortly afterwards and exploration operations resumed. The future 
risk  from  COVID-19  to  Galileo’s  operations  in  Western  Australia  appears  limited  however  the  Group 
continues to monitor government advice and to take all reasonable precautions.

Fraser Range Project 

The  Fraser  Range  Project  covers  exploration  licences  totalling  602  km2  in  the  Albany-Fraser  Orogen.  The 

Albany-Fraser  Orogen  is  dominated  by  the  northeast-trending  Fraser  Zone,  a  suite  of  high-grade 

metamorphic rocks that have a distinct geophysical signature in both aeromagnetic and gravity data. The 

Fraser  Zone  comprises  mainly  metagabbroic  rocks  interlayered  with  sheets  of  granitic  gneisses.  Galileo’s 

Fraser Range Project is located across two areas – the northern Kitchener zone which hosts the company’s 

Lantern and Delta Blues prospects and the southern Yardilla zone which holds the Empire Rose Prospect.  

The project is well positioned within the nickel-copper bearing Fraser Range Zone, with the Nova Bollinger 

and Silver Knight deposits located between the two Galileo-controlled areas. The location also offers excellent 

access to infrastructure, with the main Eyre Highway immediately south of the Fraser Range Project area.

from the Group’s maiden Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling campaign at the Lantern Prospect. 

Three Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes were completed around an existing geochemical anomaly 
generated from aircore drilling undertaken in 2019. Two drill holes (LARC001 and LARC002) confirmed the 
geochemical anomaly while the third drill hole (LARC003) identified the source of the anomaly by intersecting 
nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation in fresh rock. 

Disseminated sulphide mineralisation in LARC003, with an estimated maximum of 12 per cent sulphide over 

a one metre interval, occurs at a contact zone between a mafic/ultramafic intrusion and the host country rock. 

Results reported at a 0.1% copper cut-off grade for the three drill holes are as follows (Figure 2) (1): 

 
 
 
 

LARC001 10m @ 0.21% nickel and 0.14% copper from 62m (weathered rock) 
LARC002 21m @ 0.19% nickel and 0.18% copper from 59m (weathered rock) 
LARC003 12m @ 0.38% nickel and 0.33% copper from 124m (sulphide) 
LARC003 5m @ 0.13% nickel and 0.13% copper from 150m (sulphide)

ABN 70 104 114 132 

Figure 3: RC drill chips from LAARC003 showing sulphide rich mineralisation 

The result is particularly important as the disseminated sulphide intercept may be close to a zone of increased 

sulphide mineralisation (massive, semi-massive or net textured) with the capacity to contain higher grades of 

nickel and copper.  

The  drill  hole intersection occurs on the edge  of a magnetic  feature which is interpreted to represent the 

contact  between  the  prospective  intrusive  rocks  and  the  host  country  rock.  Over  two  kilometres  of  strike 

length remains to be tested for mineralisation and the intersection is open at depth. 

The ultramafic target at Lantern is one of a number of prospective intrusions within an area of approximately 

10km by 8km. A separate EM conductor occurs two-and-a-half kilometres north of drill hole LARC003. 

This northern target is a large EM anomaly that is being further refined with additional EM surveying prior to 

deep drill testing. 

2)  EM surveying  

Electro-magnetic (EM) surveying at Lantern was undertaken during the period to define the most prospective 

zones for nickel sulphide mineralisation. Results from fixed loop EM surveying revealed a conductive target 

1.5km along strike from disseminated sulphides intersected at the Lantern South Prospect. The EM target has 

been named Lantern East to reflect its relative position on the margin of the major gabbronorite intrusion. 

Figure 4 shows the location of the new EM target on the margin of a major gabbronorite intrusion. The target 

location is 1.5km along strike from the ultramafic unit at Lantern South which contains disseminated nickel-

copper sulphide mineralisation. It is important to note that no conductive sediments (typically graphite and/or 

pyrrhotite bearing) have been intersected in aircore drilling which increases the likelihood that the conductor 

is related to sulphide mineralisation. The conductor is oblique to the strike of the margin of the intrusion and 

may represent a separate pulse of magma, similar to the ultramafic unit at Lantern South, which also crosscuts 

the regional magnetic fabric.

GALILEO MINING LTD
ABN 70 104 114 132 

Modelled parameters of the conductor are as follows: 

*  Various  conductivities,  from  2500  to  5000S,  can  be  used  to  account  for  the  peak  of  the  anomaly.  A  conservative 

conductivity has been used in the above modelling to better reflect the overall shape of the anomaly. First pass moving 

loop EM surveying plans are now confirmed for the southern side of the major Lantern intrusion as well as the new Think 

Big, Backwood and Green Moon intrusions to the north (see Figure 5). These surveys have commenced post the quarter 

end (see ASX Announcement dated 16th July 2020).  

Figure 4: Drill Targets at Lantern South & Lantern East Prospects (TMI‐1VD Magnetic Image) 

3)  Aircore Drilling Campaigns 

During the period, Galileo completed three shallow aircore drilling programs at the northern Fraser Range 

Project area. These programs included drilling at the new Delta Blues Prospect and at the Lantern Prospect 

and surrounding area. The programs were designed to be first pass drill tests beneath cover rock to determine 

the extent of nickel prospective intrusive rocks.  

Drilling  was  also  completed  around  the  Lantern  South  intrusion and  delineated  the  ultramafic  unit  at  the 

Lantern prospect with further results of 27m @ 0.18% nickel from 48m (LAAC116) and 17m @ 0.17% nickel 
from 48m (LAAC235) (2).  

10

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
GALILEO MINING LTD
ABN 70 104 114 132 

The ultramafic unit at Lantern South has near surface dimensions of 260 metres by 100 metres with sulphide 

mineralisation, intersected by previous RC drilling, occurring on the margin of the unit. A new ultramafic unit 

has also been identified by aircore drilling (see interpreted outline in Figure 4). This area will require further 

aircore drilling to define the margins of the unit which are believed to be the most prospective for sulphide 

mineralisation.  

4)  New Nickel Targets  

Petrographic  rock  description  of  samples  from  reconnaissance  aircore  drilling  combined  with  detailed 

magnetic data shows the presence of three new intrusions. These intrusions, which have been named Think 

Big, Backwood and Green Moon (see Figure 5), have the potential to host magmatic nickel mineralisation 

under shallow cover rock ranging from 17 metres to 92 metres below surface.

Norseman Project 

While Norseman was a secondary focus for the Group during FY20, exploration work was conducted during 

the first half of the reporting year.  

RC drilling was undertaken at the Subzero Prospect to test targets along strike to the south of initial results 

which showed wide zones of low-grade copper mineralisation associated with anomalous gold results.  

A total of 1,279 metres of RC drilling was completed across the Subzero Prospect and at other early stage 

prospects within the project area including Roadside and Goblin. (see Figure 6). 

Wide zones of sulphide alteration were intercepted at the Subzero and Roadside Prospects with up to 20% 

semi-massive sulphides recorded. Copper and zinc contents of the sulphide rich horizons reached maximum 

values of 0.19% and 0.96% respectively in 3 metre composite samples.  

Figure 6: Galileo’s Norseman Project Area with Prospect Locations and JORC Cobalt Resources 

Drilling  established  that  significant  hydrothermal  alteration  has  occurred  at  both  prospects  with  the 

prospective  zones  being  at  least  800m  in  strike  length.  The  potential  for  an  economic  VMS  style  deposit 

remains  high  and  the  Group  is  establishing  a  track  record  of  defining  and  drill  testing  prospective  zones 

within the Norseman Project area.

An untested volcanic package of rocks exists at the Woodcutters Prospect and in the future will be targeted 

with  soil  sampling  programs  and  electro-magnetic  surveying  prior  to  drill  testing  (see  Figure  6  for 

Woodcutters Prospect location).  

Scout drilling at Norseman has also confirmed a nickel prospective komatiite target under shallow cover at 

the  Goblin  Prospect.  Magnetic  inversion  modelling  was  successfully  used  to  target  the  basalt/komatiite 

contact under shallow cover rocks. The same technique may in future be applied to the komatiite unit where 

it occurs along strike to the north at the Gremlin Prospect. 

The Gremlin Prospect is masked by shallow cover and has never been tested for nickel sulphide mineralisation 

associated with volcanic komatiite flows. This style of mineralisation is the dominant deposit type within the 

prolific Kambalda nickel district. Galileo’s Norseman Project is located at the southern end of the Norseman-

Wiluna greenstone belt which also contains the Kambalda nickel mines. 

OPERATIONS POST YEAR END 

Fraser Range Project   

1)  Expanded Moving Loop Electro Magnetic (MLEM) Surveys  

Post  balance  date,  an  extensive  program  of  EM  surveying  began.  The  surveys  are  designed  to  cover 

prospective  intrusions  (named  Think  Big,  Backwood and Green  Moon –  see  Figure  5)  located  along  strike 

from the Lantern area.  

The  new  EM  surveys  are  focusing  on  zones  both  north  and  south  of  the  Lantern  prospects  and  will 

dramatically expand the footprint of exploration. The EM survey completed in 2019 is more than doubled by 

the current survey and covers 46km2 of highly prospective ground. The survey is expected to take eight weeks 

to complete. 

2)  RC and Diamond drilling campaign 

In  late  July  2020,  a  second  round  of  RC  drilling  began  at  Galileo’s  highly  prospective  nickel  targets  in 

preparation for a diamond drill program which subsequently commenced in late August 2020. Three high 

priority zones were targeted as highlighted in Figure 4.  

Lantern  East  is  a  conductive  target  on  the  margin  of  a  major  gabbronorite  intrusion.  An  RC  drillhole  was 

completed updip of the conductor and a pre-collar established for a diamond core tail to test the conductor.  

At Lantern South, drilling has been designed to test two structural and geological targets. The first lies on the 

margin of the gabbronite intrusion and the second target is coincident to where disseminated sulphides have 

been discovered in previous RC drilling. RC pre-collars were established at both locations for the planned 

diamond drill tails. 

In late August 2020, Galileo began its maiden diamond drilling campaign in the Lantern Prospect area. This 

was the first diamond drilling targeting nickel ever to be completed within the Galileo project area.  Three 

diamond drill holes with planned depths from 200 to 380 metres were planned to test the three nickel targets 

described above.

CORPORATE  

As at 30 June 2020, the Company had cash and deposits of approximately $8.7 million. This puts the Company 

in a secure position during the current period of economic uncertainty. 

In May 2020, the Company completed a well-supported capital raising of $5 million from a range of existing 

and new sophisticated and institutional investors. The placement closed oversubscribed with a cornerstone 

investment by Independence Group (IGO) which emerged with an 8.9% substantial holding in Galileo. 

The  funds  raised  via  the  Placement  are  being  used  to  expedite  exploration  at  the  Fraser  Range  Lantern 

Prospect, for other prospects in the Fraser Range nickel belt, and for working capital purposes. 

During  the  period,  the  Company  also  advised  of  the  sudden  passing  of  Non-Executive  Chairman  Simon 

Jenkins.  Managing  Director,  Brad  Underwood,  was  appointed  Chairman  while  Galileo  Mining  Company 

Secretary, Mathew Whyte, joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director.  

Risks to the Company due to the ongoing global COVID-19 health emergency continue to be monitored. The 

Company’s  cash  position  provides  insulation  to  any  longer-term  unforeseen  impacts  to  funding  and 

operating that may occur. All of Galileo’s projects are located in Western Australia and, although the future 

risk from COVID-19 cannot be reliably estimated, the potential impact on Galileo’s operations over the next 

12 months does not appear significant.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE 

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has been financially positive for 
the Group up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after 
the  reporting  date.  The  situation  is  rapidly  developing  and  is  dependent  on  measures  imposed  by  the 
Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, 
travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. 

No other matters or circumstances have occurred subsequent to balance date that have or may significantly 
affect the operations or state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years. 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS 

The Group will continue its evaluation of its mineral projects and undertake generative work to identify and 
acquire  new  resource  projects  and  opportunities.  Due  to  the  nature  of  the  business,  the  result  is  not 
predictable.  

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS  

Other than reported above in the Review of Operations, there were no significant changes in the state of 
affairs of the Group during the reporting period.  

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND PERFORMANCE 

The Group is required to carry out the exploration and evaluation of its mining tenements in accordance 
with various State Government Acts and Regulations.  

In  regard  to  environmental  considerations,  the  Group  is  required  to  obtain  approval  from  various  State 
regulatory authorities before any exploration requiring ground disturbance, such as line clearing, drilling 
programs and costeaning is carried out. It is normally a condition of such regulatory approval that any area 
of ground disturbed during the Group’s activities is rehabilitated in accordance with various guidelines. The 
Group conducts its exploration activities in an environmentally sensitive manner and is not aware of any 
significant breaches of these guidelines.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited)  

The Directors of Galileo Mining Ltd present the Remuneration Report (‘the Report”) for the Group for the year 
ended 30 June 2020 (“FY20”). This Report forms part of the Directors’ Report and has been audited as required 
by section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Key management personnel disclosed in this report 

For the purposes of this Report, key management personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons 
having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, 
directly  or  indirectly,  including  a  director  (whether  executive  or  otherwise)  of  the  Company,  and  its 
subsidiaries. 

Details of key management personnel:  
Simon Jenkins (Chairman) (Deceased 24/12/19) 
Brad Underwood (Managing Director/Chairman) 
Noel O’Brien (Technical Director) 
Mathew Whyte (Non-executive Director and Company Secretary) 

Remuneration Philosophy 

The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper the Group 
must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and KMP.  

To this end Galileo aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their 
position and responsibility so as to align the interests of executives with those of shareholders and to ensure 
total remuneration is competitive by market standards. 

Remuneration and nomination issues are handled at the full Board level. Due to the small number of directors 
and KMP no separate committee has been established for this purpose. 

Board  members,  as  per  groupings  detailed  below,  are  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing 
compensation arrangements.

GALILEO MINING LTD
ABN 70 104 114 132 

In  order  to  maintain  good  corporate  governance,  the  Non-executive  Directors  assume  responsibility  for 
determining  and  reviewing  compensation  arrangements  for  the  Executive  Directors  of  the  Group.  The 
Executive Directors in turn are responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation arrangements 
for the Non-executive Directors. 

The  assessment  considers  the  appropriateness  of  the  nature  and  amount  of  remuneration  of  KMPs  on  a 
periodic 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.  

Independent external advice is sought from remuneration consultants when required, however no advice has 
been  sought  during  the  year  ended  30 June  2020.  The  Corporate  Governance Statement  provides  further 
information on the Company’s remuneration governance. 

Remuneration structure 

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-executive Director and Executive 
Director’s remuneration is separate and distinct.  

A.  Non-executive Directors remuneration  

Objective 

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Group with the ability to attract 
and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders. 

Structure 

The  Board  policy  is  to  remunerate  non-executive  directors  at  commercial  market  rates  for  comparable 
companies for their time, commitment and responsibilities.  

On appointment to the Board, all non-executive directors sign a letter of appointment. The letter summarises 
the Board policies and terms including remuneration, relevant to the office of director. 

The constitution and the ASX Listing rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors 
shall be determined from time to time by shareholders at general meeting.  

Non-executive directors receive a fixed fee inclusive of superannuation contributions. Fees for non-executive 
directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. Subject to approval by shareholders, Non-executive 
directors’ remuneration may also include an incentive portion consisting of Options and Performance Rights, 
which are granted for the same reasons and objectives and on the same terms as Options granted to Executive 
Directors as outlined in Section B below. To this end Non-executive Directors are also entitled to participate 
in Galileo’s Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan).  

The  remuneration  of  Non-executive  Directors  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2020  is  detailed  in  the  table  in 
Section C of this Report. 

B.  Executive Directors remuneration  

Objective 

The Group aims to reward Executive Directors with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their 
position and responsibilities within the Group and so as to: 

-  Align the interests of Executive Directors with those of shareholders. 
- 
Link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the Group  
- 
Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.    

Structure 

In  determining  the  level  of  remuneration  paid  to  Executive  Directors,  the  Board  takes  into  account  the 
activities of the Group and available benchmarks. 

An employment contract has been entered into with the Executive Director of Galileo. Details of this contract 
are provided in Section D of this Report.

GALILEO MINING LTD
ABN 70 104 114 132 

Remuneration consist of the following key elements: 
- 
-  Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (LTI). 

Fixed remuneration  

The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration is established for the Executive Director by 
the Board. The table in Section C of this Report details the fixed and variable components (%) of the Executive 
Directors of Galileo. 

Fixed Remuneration  

The level of fixed remuneration is set as a cash salary plus superannuation contributions so as to provide a 
base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market.  

Variable remuneration – Long Term Incentives (LTI)  

Options 

LTI grants to executives are delivered in the form of Options.  

The  table  in  Section  C  provides  details  of  Options  granted  and  the  value  of  equity  instruments  granted, 
exercised and lapsed during the year. Options were issued free of charge. Each option entitles the holder to 
subscribe for one (1) fully paid ordinary share in Galileo upon the exercise of the option based on achieving 
vesting conditions at a $0.20 exercise price.  The terms and conditions including the service and performance 
criteria that must be met are as follows:- 

Each Option will only vest and become exercisable when the 60-day volume weighted average market price 
(as  defined  in  the  Listing  Rules)  of  Galileo’s  quoted  Shares  first  exceeds  $0.60  per  Share.    Options  not  so 
exercised shall automatically expire on the expiry date. Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe (in cash) 
for one Share in the capital of Galileo. Each Share allotted as a result of the exercise of any Option will rank 
in all respect pari passu with the existing Shares in the capital of Galileo on issue at the date of allotment. 

Relationship between remuneration and the Group’s performance  

As the Group is a newly listed exploration Group, measuring performance is difficult. The most meaningful 
measure of internal performance is on goals that have an exploration focus. 

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board have regard to the 
following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous financial year:

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE GROUP 

No person has applied to any court pursuant to section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring 
proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for 
the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings. The 
Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year. 

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS  

The Company has entered into a deed of indemnity with all existing directors and officers. Under the deed 
the Company has undertaken, subject to the restrictions in the Corporations Act, to indemnify all existing 
directors in certain circumstances whilst a director or officer and for 7 years after they have ceased to be a 
director or officer. 

During  the year, the  Company  paid  a premium  to  insure  officers of  the Group.   The  officers  of  the  Group 
covered by the insurance policy include all directors and the company secretary. 

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may 
be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company, and any other payments arising 
from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities 
arise out of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of 
their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the 
Group.

ABN 70 104 114 132 

Details  of  the  amount  of  the  premium  paid  in  respect  of  the  insurance  policies  is  not  disclosed  as  such 
disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract. 

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted 
by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify any current or former officer or auditor of the Group against a 
liability incurred as such by an officer. 

AUDIT COMMITTEE  

The Group is not of a size nor are its financial affairs of such complexity to justify a separate audit committee 
of the board of directors. All matters that might properly be dealt with by such a committee are the subject 
of scrutiny at full board meetings. 

AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES 

The Auditor’s Independence Declaration immediately follows this Report and forms part of this Report.  The 
Directors are satisfied as to the independence of the auditors.  

During the financial year the entity’s auditor, HLB Mann Judd, did not provide other non-audit services (2019: 
$Nil) (refer to note 21). 

Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors. 

For and on Behalf of the Board of Directors

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

1.  CORPORATE INFORMATION 

The financial report of Galileo Mining Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2020 was authorised for issue in 
accordance with a resolution of directors on 24 September 2020. 

Galileo Mining Ltd is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly 
traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. 

The address of the registered office is 13 Colin Street, West Perth WA 6005. 

The  Group’s  principal  activity  during  the  year  was  mineral  exploration.  Major  exploration  activities 
during the period are outlined in the Review of Operations as contained in the Directors’ Report. 

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

(a)  Basis of preparation 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has 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 report 
has also been prepared on a historical cost basis. 

For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group is a for-profit entity. 

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and the accounting policies below have been 
consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated.  The financial report is 
for the Group consisting of Galileo Mining Ltd and its subsidiaries. 

(b)  Basis of consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  Galileo  Mining  Ltd 
(Galileo) and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2020 (the Group).  

Control  is  achieved  when  the  Group  is  exposed,  or  has  rights,  to  variable  returns  from  its 
involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over 
the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has: 

 

 
 

Power  over  the  investee  (i.e.  existing  rights  that  give  it  the  current  ability  to  direct  the 
relevant activities of the investee); 
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and 
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.  

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group 
considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, 
including: 

 
 
 

The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee: 
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and 
The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights. 

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate 
that  there  are  changes  to  one  or  more  of  the  three  elements  of  control.  Consolidation  of  a 
subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group 
loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or 
disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date 
the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

Profit  or  loss  and  each  component  of  other  comprehensive  income  (OCI)  are  attributed  to  the 
equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results 
in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made 
to  the  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  to  bring  their  accounting  policies  into  line  with  the 
Group’s  accounting  policies.  All  intra-group  assets  and  liabilities,  equity,  income,  expenses  and 
cash  flows  relating  to  transactions  between  members  of  the  Group  are  eliminated  in  full  on 
consolidation. 

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as 
an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary 
De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests 
De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity 
Recognises the fair value of the consideration received 
Recognises the fair value of any investment retained 
Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss 
Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss 
or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed 
of the related assets or liabilities 

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. 

(c)  Compliance with IFRS 

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, compromising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with 
International Financial Reporting Standards. 

(d)  New Accounting Standards and Interpretations  

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2020 

In  the  period  ended  30  June  2020,  the  Directors  have  reviewed  all  of  the  new  and  revised 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for 
the current reporting period. Those which have a material impact on the Group are set out below. 

AASB 16 Leases 

AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases and related Interpretations. AASB 16 removes the classification 
of leases as either operating leases or finance leases – for the lessee – effectively treating all leases 
as finance leases.  The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. 

The Group has applied AASB 16 retrospectively with the effect of initially applying this standard 
recognised  at  the  date  of  initial  application,  being  1  July  2019  and  has  elected  not  to  restate 
comparative information.  Accordingly, the information presented for 30 June 2019 has not been 
restated. 

The  impact  on  the  financial  performance  and  position  of  the  Group  from  the  adoption  of  this 
Accounting Standards is detailed in note 9. 

Other  than  the  above,  there  is  no  material  impact  of  the  new  and  revised  Standards  and 
Interpretations on the Group.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted 

The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue 
not yet adopted as at 30 June 2020.  As a result of this review the Directors have determined that 
there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the 
Group. 

(e)  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 
at least one of the following conditions is also met: 
- 

- 

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 
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. 

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. 

(f)  Plant and equipment 

Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  any  accumulated 
impairment losses. 

Depreciation is  calculated on  a straight-line  basis  over  the  estimated  useful  life  of  the  asset  as 
follows: 

Plant and equipment – 2 to 6 years

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

Impairment 

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes 
in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is 
determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use 
can be estimated to be close to its fair value. 

If  any  such  indication  exists  and  where  the  carrying  values  exceeds  the  estimated  recoverable 
amount, the assets or cash generating units are written down to their recoverable amount. 

Disposal 

An  item  of  plant  and  equipment  is  derecognised  upon  disposal  or  when  no  further  future 
economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use or disposal of the asset. 

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the 
net  disposal  proceeds  and  the  carrying  amount  of  the  item)  is  included  in  profit  or  loss  in  the 
period the item is derecognised. 

(g)  Trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured 
at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method,  less  any  allowance  for  impairment.  
Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 0 days to 30 days.  

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a 
lifetime expected loss allowance.  To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have 
been grouped based on days overdue. 

(h)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and on 
hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. 

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and 
cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. 

(i)  Provisions 

Provisions  are  recognised  when  the Group  has  a  present  obligation  (legal  or  constructive)  as  a 
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits 
will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the 
obligation. 

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure 
required to settle the obligation at the balance date. If the effect of the time value of money is 
material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money 
and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of 
time is recognised in finance costs. 

(j)  Other Income 

Interest income 

Interest  income  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. 

Government grants 

Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as other income in the 
Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  on  a  systematic  basis  in  the  same  periods  in  which  the 
related expenses are incurred.  

(k)  Income tax 

Current  tax assets  and  liabilities  for  the current  and prior  periods  are  measured  at the  amount 
expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used 
to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date. 

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax 
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences: 

  except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or 
of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the 
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or taxable profit or loss; or 

 

in  respect  of  taxable  temporary  differences  associated  with  investments  in  subsidiaries, 
associates  and  interest  in  joint  ventures,  except  where  the  timing  of  the  reversal  of  the 
temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will 
not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward 
of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will 
be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry–forward of unused 
tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised: 

  except where the deferred  income tax asset relating to the  deductible temporary difference 
arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business 
combination  and,  at  the  time  of  the  transaction,  affects  neither  the  accounting  profit  nor 
taxable profit or loss; or 

 

in  respect  of  deductible  temporary  differences  associated  with  investment  in  subsidiaries, 
associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent 
that  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  differences  will  reverse  in  the  foreseeable  future  and 
taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced 
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all 
or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. 

Unrecognised  deferred  income  tax  assets  are  reassessed  at  each  balance  sheet  date  and  are 
recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  has  become  probable  that  future  taxable  profit  will  allow  the 
deferred tax asset to be recovered. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply 
to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) 
that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.

ABN 70 104 114 132 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in 
the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current 
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same 
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.  

(l)  Other taxes 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: 

  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 

  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 the receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. 

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component 
of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable 
to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows. 

(m)  Trade and other payables 

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

Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted.  The 
amounts are unsecured and are usually paid with 30 days of recognition. 

(n)  Employee Entitlements 

Short-term obligations 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to 
be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the 
related  service  are  recognised  in  respect  of  employees  services  up  to  the  end  of  the  reporting 
period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.  

Long Service Leave 

The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected 
future payments to  be made in respect of services provided  by  employees up to the  reporting 
date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee 
departures and periods of service. Based on the Company’s experience of employee departures, a 
long  service  leave  liability  is  only  recognised  once  an  employee  has  been  employed  by  the 
Company for a period of 5 years. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at 
the  reporting  date  on  national  Government  bonds  with  terms  to  maturity  and  currencies  that 
match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

(o)  Contributed equity 

Ordinary share 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. 

(p)  Earnings/Loss per share (EPS) 

Basic EPS is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of 
servicing  equity  (other  than  dividends),  divided  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary 
shares, adjusted for any bonus element. 

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members, adjusted for: 

  costs of servicing equity (other than dividends); 
 

the after tax effect of dividend and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares 
that have been recognised as expenses; and 

  other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result 

from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; 

divided by the weighted average number or ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, 
adjusted for any bonus element. 

(q)  Share-based payment transactions 

The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors and executives) of the Group and 
to third parties in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees and third 
parties render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’). 

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair 
value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using an appropriate 
option pricing model. 

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other 
than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Galileo Mining Ltd (‘market conditions’). 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in 
equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on 
which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). 

The  cumulative  expense  recognised  for  equity-settled  transactions  at  each  reporting  date  until 
vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of 
awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is 
formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the 
likelihood  of  market  performance  conditions  being  met  as  the  effect  of  these  conditions  is 
included in the determination of fair value at grant date. 

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting 
is conditional upon a market condition. 

Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or 
fewer  awards  vest  than  were  originally  anticipated  to  do  so.  Any  award  subject  to  a  market 
condition  is  considered  to  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 modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial 
to the employee, as measured at the date of modification. 

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, other than forfeiture, it is treated as if it had vested on the 
date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. 
However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement 
award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a 
modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. 

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the 
computation of earnings/loss per share. 

(r)  Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions 

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

(i)  Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure 

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

Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the level of proved, probable and 
inferred mineral resources, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, 
future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes 
to commodity prices. 

To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be 
recoverable  in  the  future,  this  will  reduce  profits  and  net  assets  in  the  period  in  which  this 
determination is made. 

In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure, other than acquisition costs, is expensed 
as  incurred.  Acquisition  costs  in  relation  to  mineral  tenements  are  capitalised  and  carried 
forward provided the rights to tenure of the area of the interest are current and such costs are 
expected to be recouped through successful development, or by sale, or where exploration and 
evaluation  activities  have  not,  at  balance  date,  reached  a  stage  to  allow  a  reasonable 
assessment regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves.  

(ii)   Income tax 

Refer to Note 2(k) for the Group’s accounting policy in relation to recognition of income tax 
balances.

AASB 16 Leases supersedes AASB 117 Leases and related Interpretations.  The Group has adopted 
AASB 16 from 1 July 2019 which has resulted in changes classification, measurement and recognition 
leases. The changes result in almost all leases where the Company is the lessee being recognised on 
the  Statement  of  Financial  Position  and  removes  the  former  distinction  between  ‘operating  and 
‘finance leases’.  The new standard requires recognition of a right-of-use asset (the leased item) and 
a financial liability (to pay rentals). The exceptions are short-term, and low value leases. 

The  Group  has  adopted  AASB  16  using  the  modified  retrospective  approach  under  which  the 
reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are recognised in the opening 
Statement of Financial Position on 1 July 2019.  There is no initial Impact on retained earnings under 
this approach.  The Group has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period. 

As at 30 June 2019, the Group had non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $239,354, which 
included outgoings commitments of $69,479.  Refer note 20 of the Annual Report for the year ended 
30 June 2019. 

The Group leases its office premises.  As at 30 June 2019, leases were classified as operating leases. 
Payments made under operating leases were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over 
the period of the lease. 

From 1 July 2019, where the Company is a lessee, the Group recognised a right-of-use asset and a 
corresponding liability at the date which the lease asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease 
payment is allocated between the liability and the finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit 
or loss over the lease period so as to produce a consistent period rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability for each period. 

The lease payments are discounted using an interest rate implicit in the lease, If that rate cannot be 
determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate the lessee would have 
to pay to borrow funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment 
with similar terms and conditions.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

Extension  options  are  included  in  the  property  lease.  In  determining  the  lease  term,  management 
considers  all  facts  and  circumstances  that  create  an  economic  incentive  to  exercise  an  extension 
option.  Extension options are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be 
extended. 

On initial application right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, 
adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised 
in the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2019. 

There were no onerous lease contracts that required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets of initial 
application. 

On  adoption  of  AASB  16,  the  Group  recognised  lease  liabilities  in  relation  to  leases  which  had 
previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of AASB 117.  These liabilities were 
measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  remaining  lease  payments,  discounted  using  the  lessee's 
incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019.  The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing 
rate applied to lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 6%. 

In the Statement of Cash Flows, the Group has recognised cash payments for the principal portion of 
the lease liability within financing activities and cash payments for the interest portion of the lease 
liability as interest paid within operating activities. 

Extension and termination options are included in the property leases across the Group and are an 
area of judgement. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances 
that  create  an  economic  incentive  to  exercise  an  extension  option,  or  not  exercise  a  termination 
option.  As at 1 July 2019 there was no option to extend the term of the lease. 

Impact 

The  change  in  accounting  policy  resulted  in  an  increase  of  a  right-of-use asset  of $159,882  and  a 

corresponding lease liability of $159,882, on 1 July 2019.

The ultimate recoupment of the Group’s deferred mining tenements and exploration expenditure carried forward 
in  respect  of  areas  of  interest  still  in  the  exploration  and/or  evaluation  phases  is  dependent  on  successful 
development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the respective areas.

The  assessed  fair value of  the  options was  determined  using  Black-Scholes model, taking  into  account  the 
exercise  price,  term  of option, the share  price at  grant date  and  expected  price  volatility  of  the  underlying 
share,  expected  dividend  yield  and  the  risk-free  interest  rate  for  the  term  of  the  option.    The  following 
assumptions were used in the estimation: 

-  Risk free interest rate of 0.23% 
-  Company share price at date of grant of $0.255 
-  Dividend Yield of 0% 
-  Expected volatility of 1.1212 
-  Option exercise price of $0.44

The  Group  has  certain  obligations  to  perform  minimum  exploration  work  and  to  expend 
minimum  amounts  of  money  on  such  work  on  mining  tenements.  These  obligations  may  be 
varied from time to time subject to approval and are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course 
of the operations of the Group. These commitments have not been provided for in the financial 
report.  Due to the nature of the Group’s operations in exploring and evaluating areas of interest, 
it is difficult to accurately forecast the nature and amount of future expenditure beyond the next 
year.  Expenditure  may  be  reduced  by  seeking  exemption  from  individual  commitments,  by 
relinquishing  of  tenure  or  by  new  joint  venture  arrangements.  Expenditure  may  be  increased 
when  new  tenements  are  granted  or  joint  venture  agreements  amended.  The  minimum 
expenditure commitment on the tenements is shown below.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. 

The  Group  has  various  other  financial  assets  and  liabilities  such  as  trade  receivables,  and  trade 
payables, which arise directly from its operations and other activities. 

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 
Notes 2, 6, 11 and 13 to the financial statements. 

The Group manages its exposure to a variety of financial risks: market risk (interest rate risk), credit 
risk and liquidity risk in accordance with specific approved Group policies. 

Primary responsibility for the identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The 
Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

The  Group uses different methods to measure  and  manage different types of risks to  which  it is 
exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate risk and assessment of market 
forecast  for  interest  rate.  The  Group  manages  credit  risk  by  only  dealing  with  recognized, 
creditworthy, third parties and liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling 
cash flow forecasts. 

Interest rate risk 

The Group’s current exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to cash 
assets rates and is managed by the Board approved investment policy. This policy defines maximum 
exposures and credit ratings limits.  

The following table summarises the impact of reasonably possible changes on interest rates for the 
Group at 30 June 2020. The sensitivity is based on the assumption that interest rate changes by 100 
basis  points  with  all  other  variables  held  constant.  The  100  basis  points  sensitivity  is  based  on 
reasonably possible changes over a financial year, using the observed range of actual historical rates 
for the preceding 3 year period. The analysis is performed on the same basis for the comparative 
period. 

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from higher or lower interest income from cash and 
cash equivalents. The Parent’s main interest rate risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and other 
assets with variable interest rates.

Credit  risk  arises  in  the  event  that  counterparty  will  not  meet  its  obligations  under  a  financial 
instrument  leading  to  financial  losses.    The  Group  is  exposed  to  credit  risk  from  its  operating 
activities and financing activities including deposits with banks. 

The  credit  risk  control  procedures  adopted  by  the  Group  is  to  assess  the  credit  quality  of  the 
institution with whom funds are deposited or invested, taking into account its financial position and 
past experiences.  Investment limits are set in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors 
based on the counterparty credit rating.  The limits are assigned to minimise concentration of risks 
and mitigate financial loss through potential counterparty failure. The compliance with credit limits 
is  regularly  monitored  as  part  of  day-to-day  operations.  Any  credit  concerns  are  highlighted  to 
senior management.

Alternatives for sourcing our future capital needs include the Group’s current cash position, future 
operating cash flow, project debt financings and equity raisings. These alternatives are evaluated to 
determine the optimal mix of capital resources for the Group’s capital needs.  

Liquidity risk 

The responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors.  

The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  sufficient  cash  or  credit  facilities  to  meet  the 
operating  requirements  of  the  business  and  investing  excess  funds  in  highly  liquid  short  term 
investments.  The Group’s liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources, including: short 
and long term borrowings and issue of equity instruments.

available to the entity. 

In  order  to  maintain  or  adjust  the  capital  structure,  the  Company  may  adjust  the  amount  of 
dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, enter into joint ventures or sell assets. 

The entity does not have a defined share buy-back plan.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

No dividends were paid in 2019 and no dividend will be paid in 2020. 

There  is  no  current  intention  to  incur  debt  funding  on  behalf  of  the  Company  as  on-going 
exploration expenditure will be funded via equity or joint ventures with other companies. 

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. 

24. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE 

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has been financially 
positive for the Group up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, 
positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent 
on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social 
distancing  requirements,  quarantine,  travel  restrictions  and  any  economic  stimulus  that  may  be 
provided. 

No  other  matters  or  circumstances  have  occurred  subsequent  to  balance  date  that  have  or  may 
significantly affect the operations or state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years. 

25. EXPLORATION AGREEMENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
To the members of Galileo Mining Ltd 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of Galileo Mining Ltd (“the Company”) and its controlled entities 
(“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, 
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in 
equity  and  the  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  notes  to  the 
financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies,  and  the  directors’ 
declaration.  

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  the  Group  is  in  accordance  with  the 
Corporations Act 2001, including:  

a)  giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group’s  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2020  and  of  its 

financial performance for the year then ended; and  

b)  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 period. These matters were addressed in the context 
of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not 
provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to 
be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter 

How  our  audit  addressed  the  key  audit 
matter 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure 
Note 10 to the financial report 

In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and 
Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the Group 
capitalises exploration costs. 

Our audit focussed on the Group’s assessment of the 
carrying amount of the capitalised exploration and 
evaluation expenditure asset, due to this asset being 
the most significant asset of the Group. 

Our  procedures  included  but  were  not 
limited to the following: 
•  We obtained an understanding of the 
key  processes  associated  with 
management’s 
the 
exploration  and  evaluation  asset 
carrying values; 

review 

of 

•  We 

considered 

the  Directors’ 
assessment  of  potential  indicators  of 
impairment; 

•  We obtained evidence that the Group 
has current rights to tenure of its areas 
of interest; 

•  We  examined  the  exploration  and 
evaluation budget for the year ending 
30  June  2021  and  discussed  with 
management  the  nature  of  planned 
ongoing activities. 

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the Group’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020, 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 have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

58 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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  Australian  Auditing  Standards  will  always  detect  a 
material  misstatement  when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are 
considered  material  if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to 
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  
- 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit 
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not 
detecting  a material  misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting  from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the 
override of internal control.  

- 

- 

-  Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  
Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to 
events or conditions that  may cast significant doubt  on the 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.  
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 communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control 
that we identify during our audit.  

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other 
matters  that  may  reasonably  be  thought  to  bear  on  our  independence,  and  where  applicable, 
related safeguards.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
