CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear GME Resources Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board of Directors of GME Resources Limited, I am pleased
to present to you our Annual Report for 2018.
Through the recently completed Pre-Feasibility Study, GME has made
outstanding progress in delineating an attractive development pathway for the NiWest Nickel-Cobalt
Project. The PFS incorporates consideration of the results from the detailed metallurgical test work and
engineering conducted on the NiWest Project over the past five years and comprehensive reviews of the
various studies completed on other nickel-cobalt laterite projects, the operational performance of laterite
nickel developments over the past 20 years and the outlook for nickel and cobalt supply/demand,
including the emerging battery raw materials demand from the electric vehicle market.
The chosen processing route for NiWest adopts commercially proven, lower-risk, lower-capital intensity
heap leaching, coupled with highly efficient Direct Solvent Extraction. In October 2017, battery grade nickel
sulphate was produced from continuous pilot scale test work on NiWest ore, giving great confidence in
the process path. It is also noteworthy that successful heap leaching of similar ores has previously been
undertaken, at a commercial scale, at the nearby Murrin Murrin Operations. The elevated technical and
economic risks associated with High Pressure Acid Leaching and Atmospheric Leaching have been
consciously avoided. The net result is forecast low-cost production of high-purity nickel and cobalt
sulphates which are directly consumed by the lithium-ion battery market.
The maiden NiWest Ore Reserve, which is based solely on the Eucalyptus, Hepi and Mt Kilkenny deposits,
delivers plus 1% nickel and approximately 0.07% cobalt ore to the plant for the first 18 years of the project.
A substantial opportunity exists to extend this high-grade feed profile through the potential conversion of
Inferred Resources and/or inclusion of up to four other known deposits into the project schedule.
Over an initial operating life of approximately 27 years the NiWest Project is expected to produce 456kt of
nickel and over 31kt of cobalt at a forecast net (post royalties and cobalt credits) cash operating cost of
around US$3.20/lb nickel. Average annual production is estimated at 19.2kt nickel and 1.4kt cobalt over
the first 15 years, at a nameplate processing capacity of 2.4Mtpa.
A project construction period of 24 months from Final Investment Decision (FID) is anticipated with
forecast commissioning and plant ramp-up phase of approximately 20 months.
Forecast pre-production capital expenditure of A$966M represents a globally attractive pre-production
capital intensity of sub-US$20 per pound of average annual nickel production.
Importantly, GME will now utilise the PFS to undertake an intensive period of engagement with potential
strategic partners and offtake parties for the NiWest Project. Alongside that we will be working up the
proposed scope for a Definitive Feasibility Study, conducting deeper end-market evolution analysis,
assessing a range of additional value engineering opportunities and commencing select critical path
activities, including baseline environmental study work.
GME Resources Limited | Annual Report 2018

The projected Class 1 nickel supply/demand deficit and the rapidly growing demand for nickel and cobalt
sulphate products from the Electric Vehicle lithium-ion battery market creates an attractive environment
for GME to pursue the development of, and value realisation from, the NiWest Project.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our staff and consultants for their huge effort in completing
the NiWest PFS, as well as GME’s shareholders for their ongoing interest and support.

OPERATIONS REPORT
NiWest Nickel-Cobalt Project
Overview
The NiWest Nickel-Cobalt Project is located adjacent to Glencore’s Murrin Murrin Operation in the North
Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The project is situated in a semi-arid region that is well serviced
with existing infrastructure such as rail, arterial bitumen roads and nearby established mining towns (refer
Figure 1).
Figure 1: NiWest Nickel-Cobalt Project Location Plan
Pre-Feasibility Study
Past feasibility work has focussed on examining various processing routes, including high pressure acid
leach (“HPAL”), atmospheric leach (“AL”) and heap leaching (“HL”). Recent significant advances in heap
leaching, notably at the large copper projects in South America, have led to a resurgence in the evaluation
of heap leaching in pursuit of a low technical risk and competitive capital intensity alternative to the more
risky and capital intensive HPAL and AL options. In September 2016 a review of the options for the further
processing of the high-purity nickel and cobalt solutions generated from the Direct Solvent Extraction
(“DSX”) resulted in a decision to pursue the production of nickel /cobalt sulphates suitable for the lithium-
ion battery market, instead of producing nickel cathode through electrowinning.
GME Resources Limited | Annual Report 2018
4
To that end, GME commenced a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in August 2017 based on a dynamic on/off
heap leach, pregnant leach solution (“PLS”) neutralisation and DSX process flowsheet to produce nickel
and cobalt sulphates.
In May 2017 a purpose-built PLS neutralisation and iron/aluminium removal continuous pilot plant was
successfully commissioned and operated for 10 days at the Nagrom Laboratory in Brisbane. The pilot
plant results confirmed that at the design operating temperature all key related process outcomes could
be achieved. Batch DSX tests on the neutralised PLS confirmed the chemical and physical compatibility
with the proposed reagent systems.
In July 2017 a DSX continuous pilot plant was operated for 7 days. The testing showed excellent physical
separation characteristics between the neutralised PLS and organic reagent. The target nickel and cobalt
extractions of >95% were achieved. Targets for the advanced electrolyte generated were also achieved
with nickel purity of greater than 98%.
The next stage of the test work commenced in August 2017 and focused on generating a range of pure
nickel and cobalt products from the continuous pilot plant electrolyte streams. The test work confirmed
that the proposed DSX process flowsheet can treat the NiWest neutralised PLS to generate pure nickel
and cobalt electrolytes that can be tailored to the generation of multiple high purity nickel products,
including nickel sulphate (refer Figure 2), nickel cathode (metal) and nickel carbonate as well as cobalt
sulphide, cobalt chloride and cobalt sulphate.

Finally, in February 2018 GME commenced an additional optimisation column test work program. The 2m
columns achieved Ni and Co recoveries of 85 to 87% nickel and 92 to 93 % cobalt and it is these favourable
laboratory results that have been used to establish the final heap leach process design criteria adopted
for the PFS.
Post financial year-end on 2 August 2018 GME Resources Limited announced the completion of the PFS.
The PFS presents a stand-alone development pathway for the NiWest Project that incorporates detailed
consideration of:
•
•
•
The results from the metallurgical test work and engineering conducted on the NiWest Project by
GME over the past five years;
A review of the various studies conducted by other nickel-cobalt laterite industry participants and
the history of underperforming/failed High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) laterite nickel developments
over the past 20 years; and
A review of the nickel and cobalt supply/demand outlooks, including the emerging battery raw
materials demand from the EV market.
The base project parameters determined by the PFS are:
• Updated Mineral Resource estimate of 85.2Mt at 1.03% nickel and 0.065% cobalt (0.8% nickel cut-
off).
• Maiden NiWest Ore Reserve estimate of 64.9Mt at 0.91% nickel and 0.06% cobalt (at 0.5% nickel
cut-off) based on the Eucalyptus, Hepi and Mt Kilkenny deposits only.
•
Conventional open pit mining at a low projected strip ratio of 2.0:1.
• Head grades average 1.05% nickel and 0.07% cobalt for the first 15 years. Opportunity to extend
high-grade profile through potential conversion of Inferred Resources and/or inclusion of other
deposits.
•
•
•
•
Selected processing route of heap leaching followed by highly efficient Direct Solvent Extraction
(DSX) to produce low-cost nickel and cobalt sulphate products.
Initial 27-year operating life at a nameplate processing capacity of 2.4Mtpa. Projected steady-state
nickel and cobalt recoveries of 79% and 85% respectively.
Total production of 456kt nickel (in nickel sulphate) and 31.4kt cobalt (in cobalt sulphate). Average
annual production of 19.2kt nickel and 1.4kt cobalt over the first 15 years.
Project construction period of 24 months from Final Investment Decision (FID). Forecast
commissioning and plant ramp-up phase of approximately 20 months.
The key economic assumptions and outcomes of the PFS are:
•
Life-of-mine price estimates of US$8.00/lb nickel (includes US$0.75/lb sulphate premium) and
US$25/lb cobalt (zero sulphate premium). A$/US$ assumption of 0.75.
• Ungeared post-tax NPV8% of A$791M and internal rate of return (IRR) of 16.2% (equivalent pre-
tax values of A$1,390M and 21.2%, respectively). Payback period (pre-tax) of 4.4 years.
•
Average cash unit operating cost (post royalties and cobalt credits) of US$3.24/lb contained nickel
(US$3.00/lb for the first 15 years).
GME Resources Limited | Annual Report 2018

•
•
Forecast pre-production capital expenditure of A$966M, representing a globally attractive pre-
production capital intensity of sub-US$20 per pound of average annual nickel production.
Projected free cashflow (post all capital expenditure and tax) of A$3,342M.
The PFS has been completed to an overall accuracy of +/- 30%.
The NiWest Ore Reserve estimate includes a higher grade (>0.8% Ni cut-off) component of 41.2Mt at
1.06% Ni and 0.07% Co. Mining and processing/refining of
this higher grade component
predominantly occurs during the first 15 years of NiWest operating life.
Mining during the first 7 years of production is focussed solely on the Mt Kilkenny deposit (refer
Figure 3), followed by the Eucalyptus and Hepi deposits. Ore from Eucalyptus and Hepi will be road
hauled to the plant at Mt Kilkenny.
Figure 3: Mt Kilkenny mining and process plant layout
GME Resources Limited | Annual Report 2018

Annual material movement is approximately 15Mtpa in Years 1-6, before dropping to around 8Mtpa for
much of the remainder of mining operations.
Approximately 65Mt of ore and 133Mt of waste material is scheduled to be mined over a mining activity
life of approximately 20 years. The life-of-mine average strip ratio is 2.0.
The selected processing route (refer Figure 4) for the PFS involves heap leaching of NiWest ores followed
by neutralisation of the pregnant leach solution, direct solvent extraction and product crystallisation to
produce nickel sulphate hexahydrate (NiSO4.6H2O) and cobalt sulphate heptahydrate (CoSO4.7H2O).
Figure 4: Simplified NiWest Process Flowsheet
It is noteworthy that successful heap leaching of similar ores has previously been undertaken, at a
commercial scale, at the nearby Murrin Murrin Operations. The choice of DSX, validated by extensive prior
metallurgical test work, also presents a highly efficient and cost effective pathway to directly produce the
nickel and cobalt products specifically sought-after by the high-growth EV battery manufacturing market.
The chosen flowsheet and end product strategy is, in GME’s opinion, the most attractive processing and
refining approach after taking into account NiWest’s specific ore characteristics combined with the
technical and operating risks, relative capital intensity and final product value of various flowsheet and
end product alternatives.
Next Steps
GME intends to undertake a wider and more advanced period of engagement with potential strategic
partner/offtake parties prior to commencing a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) on the NiWest Project.
This process is targeted at a comprehensive and robust assessment of the broad range of potential
ownership, development and funding structures currently available to GME and the NiWest Project.
Concurrent activities during this period include delineation of planned DFS scope and workstreams,
deeper end-market evolution analysis, assessment of value engineering opportunities delivered via the
PFS and the commencement of critical-path environmental study work.

Review of Material Changes
The last reported resource statement for NiWest Nickel Laterite Project was post financial year-end on 2
August 2018 (ASX announcement). The Company notes that the total tonnes available under the revised
Mineral Resource Estimate has not materially changed moving from 81 million tonnes at 1.03% Ni in
February 2017 to 85 million tonnes at 1.03% Ni in August 2018.
Resource consultants, Golder Associates, were engaged to update the mineral resource estimates of the
Eucalyptus, Hepi and Mt Kilkenny laterite deposits which formed the basis of the the NiWest PFS released
on the 2 August 2018. The update calculated at a cut off of 0.8% nickel resulted in an increase of 4.2 million
tonnes in the overall mineral resource. This equates to an increase of less than 5% in the overall mineral
resource and is not considered material.
The Company completed and released the results of the NiWest pre-feasibility study on 2 August 2018.
The study confirmed the technical and financial robustness of a long-life operation directly producing
high-purity nickel and cobalt sulphate products to be delivered into the forecast rapid growth of lithium-
ion battery raw material markets.
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the
information included in the original announcement (2 August 2018) pertaining to the Eucalyptus, Hepi
and Mt Kilkenny deposits, and that all related material assumptions and technical parameters have
not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent
Person’s findings pertaining to the Eucalyptus, Hepi and Mt Kilkenny deposits are presented have not
materially changed from the original market announcement.
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your Directors present their report of GME Resources Limited and its controlled entities (“Consolidated
Entity” or “Group”) for the financial year ended 30 June 2018. In order to comply with the provisions of the
Corporations Act 2001, the directors report as follows:
Directors
The names of Directors in office at any time during or since the end of the year are:
Peter Ross Sullivan
James Noel Sullivan
Peter Ernest Huston
(Non-executive - Chairman)
(Managing Director)
(Non-executive Director)
Directors have been in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless otherwise
stated.
Principal Activities
The principal activity of the Consolidated Entity is mineral exploration.
No significant change in the nature of this activity occurred during the year.
Operating Results
The net loss after income tax attributable to members of the Company for the financial year to 30 June
2018 amounted to $1,084,387 (2017: profit $1,779,747).
Overview of Operating Activity
NiWest Nickel Laterite Project Update
The NiWest Nickel-Cobalt Project is located adjacent to Glencore’s Murrin Murrin Operation in the North
Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The project is situated in a semi-arid region that is well serviced
with existing infrastructure such as rail, arterial bitumen roads and nearby established mining towns.
Past feasibility work has focussed on examining various processing routes, including high pressure acid
leach (“HPAL”), atmospheric leach (“AL”) and heap leaching (“HL”).
GME commenced a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in August 2017 based on a dynamic on/off heap leach,
pregnant leach solution (“PLS”) neutralisation and DSX process flowsheet to produce nickel and cobalt
sulphates.
The test work confirmed that the proposed DSX process flowsheet can treat the NiWest neutralised PLS
to generate pure nickel and cobalt electrolytes that can be tailored to the generation of multiple high
purity nickel products, including nickel sulphate, nickel cathode (metal) and nickel carbonate as well as
cobalt sulphide, cobalt chloride and cobalt sulphate.
Post financial year-end on 2 August 2018 GME Resources Limited announced the completion of the PFS.
GME intends to undertake a wider and more advanced period of engagement with potential strategic
partner/offtake parties prior to commencing a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) on the NiWest Project.
GME Resources Limited | Annual Report 2018
14
Concurrent activities during this period include delineation of planned DFS scope and workstreams,
deeper end-market evolution analysis, assessment of value engineering opportunities delivered via the
PFS and the commencement of critical-path environmental study work.
Devon Gold Mine Update
The rehabilitated Devon Gold Mine remains on Care and Maintenance.
Financial Position
The Company completed a Renounceable Entitlement Issue (the Offer) in June raising $2.03 million from
the issue of 18,543,855 shares.
The Offer was partially underwritten by Somers Partners.
At the end of the financial year the consolidated entity had $1,735,454 (2017: $2,226,722) in cash and at
call deposits. Net Assets of $31,431,604 (2017: $30,546,683) were comprised mainly of carried forward
exploration and evaluation expenditure of $30,088,279 (2017: $28,450,995).
Dividends
No dividends have been paid or declared since the start of the financial year. No recommendation is
made as to dividends.
Significant Changes in State of Affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year, other than
as set out elsewhere in this report.
Subsequent Events
On 2 August 2018 GME Resources Limited announced the completion of a Pre-feasibility Study on its 100%
owned NiWest Nickel-Cobalt Project (NiWest PFS). GME intends to undertake a wider and more advanced
period of engagement with potential strategic partner/offtake parties prior to commencing a Definitive
Feasibility Study (DFS) on the NiWest Project.
Other than the above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which
significantly affected or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations or
the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.
Likely Developments
The Group’s areas of interest are in the exploration stage and it is not possible to predict the likely
developments. The Group will continue its mineral exploration activities with the object of finding further
mineralised resources and exploiting those already discovered.
The Board is following a strategic plan for the growth of the Group, however, further information about
likely developments, future prospects and business strategies as they pertain to the operations and
expected results of those operations have not been included in this report as the Directors reasonably
believe that disclosure of this information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

The Board does not have a separate audit committee with a composition as suggested in the best practice
recommendations. The full Board carries out the function of an audit committee.

the full board is able to meet objectives of the best practice recommendations and discharge its duties in
this area.

expenses in defending legal proceedings.

Non-audit Services
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the
auditor are outlined in Note 12 to the financial statements. The Directors are satisfied that the provision
of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by
the Corporations Act 2001.
The Directors are of the opinion that the services do not compromise the auditor’s independence as all
non-audit services have been reviewed to ensure that they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity
of the auditor and none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence
as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the
Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board.
Auditor Independence and Non-Audit Services
Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires our auditors, HLB Mann Judd, to provide the directors
of the Company with an Independence Declaration in relation to the audit of the financial report. This
Independence Declaration is set out on the following page and forms part of this directors’ report for the
year ended 30 June 2018.
This report is signed in accordance with a Resolution of Directors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GME Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a listed public Company, incorporated and domiciled in
Australia. The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2018
comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Consolidated Entity” or “Group”).
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
Interpretations and comply with other requirements of the law. The financial statements have also been
prepared on a historical cost basis.
The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless
otherwise stated.
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars.
The Company is a listed public company, incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia. The Group’s
principal activities are mineral exploration.
b) Adoption of new and revised standards
In the year ended 30 June 2018, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and
Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for the current
annual reporting period.
It has been determined by the Directors that there is no material impact, of the new and revised Standards
and Interpretations on business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not
yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2018. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that
there is no material impact of AASB 15 Revenue or AASB 9 Financial Instruments on the Group’s business.
The Directors are in the process of reviewing the impact of AASB 6 Leases.
c) Critical accounting judgements and key estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Exploration and evaluation costs
The Company has assessed the exploration and evaluation costs in accordance with AASB 6 Exploration
for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources and believes there are no indicators for impairment. In addition,
the recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation costs carried forward has been
reviewed by the Directors. In conducting the review, the recoverable amount of the Group’s deferred
exploration and evaluation expenditure of $29,360,945 relating to the NiWest nickel laterite project has
been assessed by reference to the higher of “fair value less costs to sell” and “value in use“.
GME Resources Limited | Annual Report 2018

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In determining value in use, future cash flows are based on:
• Estimates of ore reserves and mineral resources for which there is a high degree of confidence
of economic extraction.
• Estimated production and sales levels.
• Estimated future commodity prices.
•
•
•
Future costs of production.
Future capital expenditure.
Future exchange rates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in
the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and
future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The NiWest PFS has confirmed the technical and financial robustness of a long-life operation directly
producing high-purity nickel and cobalt sulphate products to be delivered into the forecast rapid growth
of lithium-ion battery raw material markets.
The cashflow model used to support the assessment was calculated over a period of 20 years, being the
estimated life of the mine.
In reviewing the model for this financial year, the Board assessed a number of economic assumptions and
outcomes:
•
Life-of-mine price estimates of US$8.00/lb nickel (includes US$0.75/lb sulphate premium) and
US$25/lb cobalt (zero sulphate premium). A$/US$ assumption of 0.75.
• Ungeared post-tax NPV8% of A$791M and internal rate of return (IRR) of 16.2% (equivalent pre-
tax values of A$1,390M and 21.2%, respectively). Payback period (pre-tax) of 4.4 years.
• Average cash unit operating cost (post royalties and cobalt credits) of US$3.24/lb contained nickel
(US$3.00/lb for the first 15 years).
•
Forecast pre-production capital expenditure of A$966M, representing a globally attractive
preproduction capital intensity of sub-US$20 per pound of average annual nickel production.
• Projected free cashflow (post all capital expenditure and tax) of A$3,342M.
Variations to expected future cash flows, and timing thereof, could result in significant changes to the
impairment test results, which in turn could impact future financial results.
Due to the focus on the Ni West Nickel project, the Directors have elected to impair the Group’s other
areas of interest as no substantive expenditure is currently budgeted or planned.

Units of production method of amortisation
The Company amortises mine properties in production on a units of production basis over economically
recoverable reserves and resources. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions.
Significant judgment is required in assessing the available reserves and resources under this method.
Factors that must be considered in determining the reserves and resources are the complexity of
metallurgy, product prices, costs structures and future developments. When these factors change or
become known in the future, such differences will impact amortisation expense and carrying value of mine
property assets.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the financial
statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company’s financial statements for the
financial year ended 30 June 2017.
d) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of
normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course
of business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group recorded an operating loss of $1,084,387, and a cash
outflow from operating activities of $2,460,576 for the year ended 30 June 2018 and at balance date, had
net current assets of $1,322,139.
Notwithstanding the positive results and current working capital position, should the Company not be
successful in obtaining adequate funding, or should cashflows not eventuate as planned, there is a
material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Group to continue as a going
concern and whether it can realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Group not continue as a going concern.
e) Statement of compliance
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 27 September 2018.
The financial statements comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian
equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that
the financial statements, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

f) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities
controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Company:
• has power over the investee;
•
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in with the investee; and
• has the ability to its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassess whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there
are changes to one or more of the three elements listed above.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights if an investee, it has the power over the
investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities
of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing
whether or not the Company’s voting rights are sufficient to give it power, including;
•
the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings
of the other vote holders;
• potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties; rights arising
from other contractual arrangements; and
• any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have,
the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made,
including voting patterns at previous shareholder meetings
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases
when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary
acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss or
other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company
ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their
accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions
between members are eliminated in full on consolidation.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in existing subsidiaries
Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control
over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s
interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in
subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount paid by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted
and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to
the owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is
calculated as the difference between:
• The aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained
interest; and
• The previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary
and any non-controlling interests.
All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are
accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e.
reclassified to profit and loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by the
applicable AASBs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when
control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under AASB
139, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
f) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group
and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met
before revenue is recognised:
Interest income
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on
the financial asset.
Royalty income
Revenue from royalties is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and receivable.
Revenue is recognised when the significant risk and rewards of ownership have been transferred, recovery
of the consideration is probable and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Facilitation fee
Revenue from facilitation fees is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and receivable.
Revenue is recognised when the significant risk and rewards of ownership have been transferred, recovery
of the consideration is probable and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Ore sales
Ore sales revenue is recognised when control of the gold passes at the delivery point. Proceeds received
in advance of control passing are recognised as unearned revenue.
g) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred except those that relate to the acquisition,
construction or production of qualifying assets where the borrowing cost is added to the cost of those
assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank
and on hand. 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.
For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash
and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
i) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice
amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when
there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off
when identified.
j)
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion
of fixed and variable overhead expenses, are assigned to inventory on hand by the method most
appropriate to each particular class of inventory, with the majority being valued on a first in first our basis.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs
necessary to make the sale.
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.
GME Resources Limited | Annual Report 2018

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
l) Income tax (continued)
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
• when 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 that, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
• when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates
or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be
controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference 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 credits
and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
• when 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
• when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to
the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future
and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference 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 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.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or
loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax 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 (continued)
Tax consolidation legislation
GME Resources Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries have implemented the tax
consolidation legislation. Current and deferred tax amounts are accounted for in each individual entity as
if each entity continued to act as a taxpayer on its own. GME Resources Limited recognises both its own
current and deferred tax amounts and those current tax liabilities, current tax assets and deferred tax
assets arising from unused tax credits and unused tax losses which it has assumed from its controlled
entities within the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised
as amounts payable or receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Any difference between
the amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to
(or distribution from) controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.
m) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of
GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables
and payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of
receivables or payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
n) Plant and equipment including mine development asset
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of
replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised
in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
Plant and equipment – 4 to 5 years.
Mine development costs – units of production
The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each financial year end.

(n) Plant and equipment including mine development asset (continued)
i) Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with
recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment 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 an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, 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.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated
recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or
Loss and other Comprehensive Income.
ii) Derecognition and disposal
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
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 asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset
is derecognised.
iii) Mine development costs
Capitalised mine development costs include expenditure incurred to develop new orebodies, to define
further mineralisation in existing orebodies and, to expand the capacity of a mine. These costs are
amortised from the date on which commercial production begins.
Depreciation, depletion and amortisation of mine development costs are computed by the units-of-
production method based on estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves which can be
recovered in the future from known mineral deposits.

Investments and other financial assets
Stripping costs incurred during the production phase to remove additional waste are charged to operating
costs on the basis of the average life of mine stripping ratio and the average life of mine costs per tonne.
The average stripping ratio is calculated as the number of tonnes of waste material expected to be
removed during the life of mine per tonne of ore mined. The average life of mine cost per tonne is
calculated as the total expected costs to be incurred to mine the orebody, divided by the number of tonnes
expected to be mined. The average life of mine stripping ratio and the average life of mine cost per tonne
are recalculated annually in the light of additional knowledge and changes in estimates.
Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are
classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-
maturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are
recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value
through profit or loss, directly attributable transactions costs. The Group determines the classification of
its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this
designation at each financial year-end. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are
recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way
purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the
assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss’. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose
of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as
effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or
loss.
ii) Held-to-maturity investments
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as
held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments
intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification.
Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at
amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus
or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the
initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or
received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction
costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses
are recognised in profit or loss when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through
the amortisation process.

iii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are
not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised
or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
iv) Available-for-sale investments
Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-
for-sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition, available-
for sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate
component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be
impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or
loss.
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by
reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance date. For investments with
no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using
recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that
is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.
p) Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration
and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Group has obtained the legal
rights to explore an area are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and
either:
−
the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation
of the area of interest; or
− activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting 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 assessed for impairment if:
−
−
sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability; and
facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see
impairment accounting policy 1(q)).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
p) Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure (continued)
For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-
generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than
the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of
interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first
tested for impairment and then reclassified to mine development assets.
Revenue from trial mining operations which are considered necessary to provide the basis for any
development activity, is offset against any deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure in respect of
that operation.
(q) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If
any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes
an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value
less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not
generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the
asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for
impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset
or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered
impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense
categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued
amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the
recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the estimate used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment
loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable
amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined,
net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years. Such reversal
is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is
treated as a revaluation increase. After such reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods
to allocate the assets revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its
remaining useful life.

r) Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost
has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not
been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest
rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through
use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets
that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually
significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a Group of financial assets with similar
credit risk characteristics and that Group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets
that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be
recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised
impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss,
to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.
Financial assets carried at cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument
that is not carried at fair value (because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), or on a derivative asset
that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of
the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.
Such impairment loss shall not be reversed in subsequent periods
s) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and
services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the
Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.

Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares
or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

u) Earnings per share
Basic EPS is calculated as net result attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity
(other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted EPS is calculated as net result attributable to members, adjusted for:
•
•
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
the after-tax effect of dividends and interest associated with potential dilutive 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 of ordinary
shares and potential dilutive ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
v) 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
GME Resources Limited.
w) Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term,
except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic
benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
x) Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, disclosed in Note 20 has been prepared on the same basis
as the consolidated financial statements.
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the parent
entity’s financial statements. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s
profit or loss, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.

(1) The ultimate recoupment of the above deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on the
successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the respective areas at amounts
sufficient to recover the investment. Where facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an
exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount, the expenditure has been impaired
down to its recoverable amount. The Directors have elected to impair the Group’s areas of interest, other
than the NiWest Nickel project, as no substantive expenditure is currently budgeted or planned.

Financial risk management objectives
The Group is exposed to market risk (including interest rate), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group does not issue derivative financial instruments, nor does it believe that it has exposure to such trading
or speculative holdings through its investments in associates.
Risk management is carried out by the Board as a whole, which provides the principles for overall risk
management, as well as policies covering specific areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and
liquidity risk. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. Where
appropriate these methods will include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, and other price risks and
aging analysis for credit risk.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)
a)
Interest risk and sensitivity analysis
The Company and the Group are exposed to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s
value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates, in respect of the cash balances and
deposits.
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for instruments
at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held
constant throughout the reporting period. A 50-basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting
interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the
change in interest rates.
At reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher and all other variables were held
constant, the Group’s net profit before tax and equity would reduce by $10,520 and increase by $10,520,
respectively (2017: $14,317). A reduction in the interest rate would have an equal but opposite effect.
b) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by continually monitoring cash reserves and cash flow forecasts to
ensure that financial commitments can be met as and when they fall due.
c) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or
customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is not significantly exposed to credit risk from its
operating activities, however, the Board does monitor receivables as and when they arise. The maximum
exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial asset mentioned
above. The Group does not hold collateral as security.
No material exposure is considered to exist by virtue of the possible non-performance of the counterparties
to financial instruments and cash deposits.
d) Capital management risk
The Company controls the capital of the Group in order to maximise the return to shareholders and ensure
that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.
The Company effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting
its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and the market. These responses include the
management of expenditure and debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.
There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group
since the prior year.
GME Resources Limited | Annual Report 2018

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)
e) Net fair values
The net fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying value. Other than
listed investments that are measured at the quoted bid price at balance date adjusted for transaction costs
expected to be incurred, no financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets
in standardised form.
The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed
in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and in the notes to and forming part of the financial
statements.
17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
There were no capital commitments or contingent liabilities, not provided for in the financial statements of
the Group as at 30 June 2018, other than:
a) Mineral Tenement Leases
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to mining tenements, the Group in its own right or in conjunction
with its joint venture partners may be required to outlay amounts of approximately $1,938,440 (2017:
$1,843,540) per annum on an ongoing basis in respect of tenement lease rentals and to meet the minimum
expenditure requirements of the Western Australian Mines Department. These obligations are expected to
be fulfilled in the normal course of operations by the Group or its joint venture partners and are subject to
variations dependent on various matters, including the results of exploration on the mineral tenements.
b) Claims of Native Title
Legislative developments and judicial decisions (in particular the uncertainty created in the area of Aboriginal
land rights by the High Court decision in the “Mabo” case and native title legislation) may have an adverse
impact on the Group’s exploration and future production activities and its ability to fund those activities. It is
impossible at this stage to quantify the impact (if any) which these developments may have on the Group’s
operations.
Native title claims have been made over ground in which the Group currently has an interest. It is possible
that further claims could be made in the future. The Company has established access agreements with the
major claimant groups in the area. All of the mineral resources are located on granted mining leases. Once
granted there is no opportunity for veto of project development under the Native Title act, however owners
must adhere to the provisions of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 which regulates how to deal with specific
heritage sites that may exist on the tenement.

areas. These interests will be earned by expending certain amounts of money on exploration expenditure
within a specific time. The Company can, however, withdraw from these projects at any time without penalty.
The amounts required to be expended in the next year have been included in Note 17 – Commitments and
