About Genmin

Genmin is an emerging iron ore producer listed on the ASX, 
pioneering iron ore mining in the Republic of Gabon on the west 
coast of Central Africa. With a greener, equity-driven approach,  
we strive to create diverse shareholder value — economic, social, 
and environmental — through the development of Baniaka and  
our pipeline of projects.

We have been established in Gabon for over ten years, 

The positive results of the Baniaka Preliminary 

where we own six granted exploration licences for iron 
ore covering a total land area of 5,064km2.

Feasibility Study (PFS) showed that significant 
shareholder value can be realised through the 

development of a scalable starter 5Mtpa mining 

operation.  

We expect Baniaka’s Mining Permit to be granted by 

the end of Q2 2023 and in anticipation, have several 

pre-development work streams underway, including 

detailed design and engineering of the processing 

facility.

The six exploration licences form three projects:

•  feasibility stage - Baniaka Iron Ore Project 

(Baniaka), 

•  advanced exploration stage - Bakoumba Iron  

Ore Project (Bakoumba), and 

•  early-stage exploration - Bitam Iron Ore Project 
(Bitam), located in northwest Gabon, near the 
Belinga iron ore project.

Baniaka and Bakoumba comprise the maturing iron 

ore hub near the city of Franceville in southeast Gabon. 

Our extensive footprint there controls all acreage 

prospective for iron ore in the region, with only 16% of 

the 121km of iron mineralised strike drill tested to date.

Baniaka, with a global Mineral Resource of 760 million 

tonnes (Mt) at 40% Fe is targeted to achieve first 
production in mid-2024, by:

• 

locking in all material agreements - long form 
contracts signed for rail & port services and supply  
of renewable hydropower;

•  having submitted the social and environmental 

impact assessment (SEIA); and

•  supporting Anglo American to finalise its due 

diligence for project financing.

1 The Mineral Resource, Ore Reserve, Production Targets and forecast financial information derived from Production Targets for 
Baniaka were presented in an announcement released on 16 November 2022 titled “Positive Baniaka PFS”, which is available  
to view at www.genmingroup.com/investors/asx-announcements.

A message  
from the Chair

Dear fellow shareholders, 

I am pleased to present Genmin’s 2022 Annual Report, 

a year that redefined us as an emerging iron ore 

producer in Africa supplying global markets with 

greener raw materials for iron making. 

This was also our first full year listed on the ASX and 

Looking forward, our focus remains steadfast on 

delivering first production at Baniaka in mid-2024. 

In support of the mining permit application, we 

expect to lodge the social and environmental impact 

assessment by the end of Q1 2023 and for the large-

scale mining permit to be granted by the end of 

Q2 2023. Further, several pre-development work 

was further significant as the world emerged from the 

streams are underway, including detailed design and 

COVID-19 pandemic resulting in a resetting of iron ore 

engineering of the longest lead time processing facility. 

pricing from a low of US$80.15 per tonne on 1 November 

2022 to US$121.10 on 24 March 2023.

A number of significant milestones endorsing our 

emerging status as a greener iron ore producer  

were achieved by your company in 2022, including:

•  becoming a signatory to Digbee ESGTM, an 

environmental, social and governance platform 
to measure and transparently report our ESG 
performance and growth;

Importantly, after the end of the year, two long 

term project agreements were signed being a 15-

year integrated mine to ocean going vessel rail 

and port services agreement, and a 20-year power 

supply contract for initially 20 megawatts of clean, 

renewable hydropower, increasing to 50 megawatts 

to accommodate future scale expansions. These two 

agreements provide critical infrastructure solutions 

enabling Baniaka to be delivered for a modest capital 

•  an approximate 170% increase in the Baniaka 

cost intensity of US$40 per annualised tonne of 

production.

I look forward to updating you next year when we 

expect to be nearing production. My sincere thanks 

to our dedicated team for their commitment and 

continued hard work. 

Yours sincerely, 

Michael Arnett 
Non-Executive Chairman

mineral resource estimate to 760 million tonnes 
making it the largest JORC mineral resource for any

•  entering into a royalty agreement with global mining 

giant, Anglo American delivering US$10 million in 
cash with no dilution to existing shareholders in 
exchange for up to a 1% revenue royalty on the first 
75 million tonnes of iron ore sold from Baniaka, and 
an exclusivity period for Anglo American to propose 
and agree with Genmin offtake and the debt piece 
of a funding solution for project build;

•  completion of the Baniaka preliminary feasibility 
study, which showed robust economics for a 
scalable 5 million tonnes per annum mining 
operation for an initial investment of approximately 
US$200 million, with an estimated after tax NPV (8%) 
and IRR of AU$600 million and 38% respectively,  
at an average US$97 iron ore price;

•  the substantial completion of the Baniaka social 

and environmental impact assessment, which with 
the feasibility study will be submitted to the relevant 
government administrations in support of a large-
scale mining permit application; and

•  the extension of the Baniaka and Bakoumba 

exploration licences for six years, expiring in 2028.

ESG

Case Study.

Boumango  
Medical Centre
Baniaka borders three departments within the  

Haut-Ogooué province, including Ogooué-Létili 

department where the village of Boumango is 

located, approximately 30km south-east of Baniaka 

(Figure 2).

During consultation with the local community, 

refurbishment of the multi-building Boumango 
Medical Centre (BMC) was identified as a priority ESG 
project within Ogooué-Létili. The centre’s two primary 

buildings, the medical station and infant nursery, were 

dilapidated and rendered unusable for the provision 

of basic health services in the community.

Genmin commenced a detailed refurbishment 

program in November 2022 designed to fully renovate 

the medical station and infant nursery buildings. The 

structures were stripped back to exterior and interior 

walls to facilitate all new works including roofing and 

guttering, electrical distribution, ablution and septic 

tank system, doors, windows, floor and wall tiling, air-

conditioning, painting, and concrete repairs.

The Gabon Government recognises and endorses 

this vital community initiative by the Company 

and will provide the BMC with the required medical 

equipment, personnel, supplies, and an ambulance.

Genmin is proud to contribute and assist in providing 

the communities of Ogooué-Létili with better delivery 

of health services. The refurbishment program is 

approximately 50% complete and scheduled to be 

finished during Q2 2023.

The Company will seek to undertake similar projects 

in the future, within both the Mpassa and Lékoko 

departments of the Haut-Ogooué province.

The health and safety of our 
employees, contractors and 
stakeholders is integral to our 
daily activities. Our zero-harm 
approach at all our sites  
provides a safe and healthy  
work environment. 

Our daily safety commitment is embedded in our culture 

of teamwork. We look out for each other to prevent injury 

and illness, and provide full-time medical teams  

at Baniaka and Bakoumba.

We reported no fatalities and one serious workplace lost 

time injury throughout 2022.

Transparency - a core Genmin value.

We signed to the Digbee ESGTM Platform (Digbee) during 
the year, an industry leading environmental, social and 

governance (ESG) disclosure framework to report our 
ESG performance across all operational and corporate 

activities.

Digbee offers standardised disclosure for mining 

companies at all stages of maturity. Their independent, 

third-party assessments of ESG performance enables 

benchmarking against peers and other mining 

companies, which produces scores ranging from  

A (maximum) to CCC (minimum). 

Our approach to ESG shapes our values and underpins 

our operating philosophy. It guides everything we do. 

We are committed to the highest level of integrity and 

ethical standards in all our business practices. Our Board 

has adopted codes of conduct (Codes) that outline 
expectations of how our directors and people behave 

and conduct business in their roles on behalf of Genmin. 

Our Codes embrace the values of honesty, integrity, 

enterprise, excellence, accountability, justice, 

independence, and equality of shareholder opportunity,

of manganese ore in the world and eighth largest 

crude oil producer in Africa.

Gabon’s natural resources include gas, iron ore, 

manganese and hydropower, with its strong economic 

growth over the past decade driven by its production 

of oil and manganese.

Gabon borders with Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and 

the Republic of Congo, and holds a strategic location 

along the Gulf of Guinea.

Transparency
Gabon is a global leader in carbon-neutral 

initiatives, tackling climate change and protecting its 

environment through the preservation of its forests  

and waters.

As signatory to the Extractive Industries Transparency 

Initiative (EITI), Gabon is committed to transparency 

across its extractive industries value chain, from 

contracts, licences and company ownership to 

revenue and expenditure management. 

Commonwealth  
Governance
Sixty-two years after its independence from France, 

Gabon was admitted as the 55th member of the 

Commonwealth, on 25 June 2022. 

As a member, Gabon meets the Commonwealth’s 

eligibility criteria for membership by demonstrating 

commitment to democracy and democratic 

processes, including free and fair elections and 

representative legislatures; the rule of law and 

independence of the judiciary; good governance, 

including a well-trained public service and transparent 

public accounts; and protection of human rights, 

freedom of expression, and equality of opportunity. 

Sustainable Mining
While oil production has been the historical engine 

room of Gabon’s economy, the government is actively 

diversifying and sustainably developing its mining 

industry to harness the untapped potential of the 

country’s vast mineral resources. 

Gabon has an existing mining industry with 22% of the 

territory occupied by mining regions.  

In April 2022, the government introduced a dedicated 

Ministry of Mines and Geology to its cabinet, and 

appointed the Honorable Elvis Ossindji, former CEO 

of the Gabon Mining Company, as Minister. 

Gabon’s modern and forward-thinking Mining Code 

provides a strong and transparent legal framework 

for mining title holders, which is attractive and 

favourable for Foreign Direct Investment. The Mining 

Code considers strong ESG principles, with 20% of 

mining royalty and land tax revenues allocated to local 

populations for community projects.

Baniaka.

Our primary focus is Baniaka (Figure 1), which comprises the 
Baniaka and Baniaka West exploration licences covering an area 
of 881km2, with a total strike length of 85km of iron mineralisation. 
Baniaka is further subdivided into 12 contiguous prospect areas. 

Baniaka Mining Permit
During Q1 2023, Genmin made significant progress 

in procuring the Baniaka Mining Permit with the 

completion of two key steps.

1.  Approval to amend the perimeter (Figure 2), but not 
the area, of the Baniaka exploration licence following 
submission of an application to the Minister of 
Mines and Geology, to maximise the inclusion of the 
transport infrastructure corridor within the proposed 
Baniaka Mining Permit, which must be carved out of 
an existing exploration licence(s). 

2.  Submission of the Baniaka SEIA to the Director 

General for the Environment and the Protection 
of Nature (DGEPN); a department within Gabon’s 
Ministry of Environment. The SEIA will be evaluated  
by DGEPN and is expected to be approved by the 
end of Q2 2023 with the issue of a certificate  
of environmental conformance.

The Baniaka Mining Permit is expected to be granted 

by the end of Q2 2023.

Geologically, Baniaka is hosted in the Archean Chaillu 

Massif (Chaillu Massif). The Chaillu Massif extends to 
the south into the Republic of Congo and hosts the 

Mayoko and Zanaga iron ore deposits. Baniaka’s iron 

mineralisation is comprised of a surficial blanket of 

unconsolidated detrital iron deposits (DID) underlain 
by oxidised banded iron formations (Oxide) (BIF),  
in turn underlain by fresh magnetite BIF (Primary).

Seven of Baniaka’s prospect areas have Mineral 

Resource estimates (MRE) reported in accordance 
with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration 

Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, 2012 

Edition (JORC Code), with approximately 68km of 
mineralised strike untested by diamond drilling.

Achievements after Year end
•  All material commercial agreements and technical 
work streams to support a development decision 
have been executed and completed:

-  15-year integrated mine to ocean going vessel 

 rail & port services agreement; and

-  20-year green energy supply contract for  

initially 20MW of clean, renewable hydropower, 

increasing to 50MW to accommodate future  

scale expansions. 

• 

Inaugural Digbee submission lodged at corporate 
and project level.

•  Social and environmental impact assessment  

(SEIA) submitted.

Partnership with  
Anglo American
During the Year, Genmin, through its wholly owned 

Hydroelectricity

The long-term power purchase agreement with 

Gabon’s State-owned power utility, Société de 

Patrimoine du Service Public de l’Eau Potable, de 

l’Énergie Électrique et de l’Assainissement (SdP) is for 
the supply of renewable hydroelectricity to Baniaka 

from the Grand Poubara Hydropower Station (Grand 
Poubara) located on the Ogooué River, approximately 
35km north-east of Baniaka.

The initial 20-year agreement term is extendable  

on mutually agreeable terms with pricing at less than 

US¢10 per kilowatt hour. The agreement provides for 

subsidiary Gabon Iron Ore Limited (GIOL), entered into 
a royalty agreement with Anglo American Marketing 

a 50MW power reservation, subject to an expansion 

of Baniaka, and providing water flow rates at Grand 

Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of global mining 

Poubara support such supply. 

major Anglo American plc (Anglo American) (LSE: AAL; 
JSE: AGL).

Port and rail services

The rail & port agreement with Owendo Mineral 

Port (OMP) guarantees the transport of 5Mtpa with 
provision to scale volume to 15Mtpa over the 15-year 

term on a send or pay basis. OMP will provide the 

required rail assets and rail haulage, train unloading 

and stockpile management at the port, stockpile 

reclaim and loading of Cape class bulk carriers.

Anglo American paid US$10 million to GIOL in 

consideration for the grant of a royalty on sales 

revenue (determined by reference to the Platts Iron 

Ore Index) received from the sale of the first 75Mt of 

iron ore products produced and sold from Baniaka. 

GIOL will have the option to buy back the royalty at any 

time at a price that delivers an agreed internal rate 

of return to Anglo American on the US$10 million cash 

consideration.

Additionally, GIOL granted Anglo American an 

exclusivity period of 120-calendar days from the 

delivery of the PFS to conduct confirmatory due 

diligence, and negotiate and agree legally binding 

documentation for the provision of a debt funding 

facility for Baniaka, and offtake for up to 100% of iron  

ore products from Baniaka. 

Anglo American is a leading, global mining company 

with a portfolio of competitive, world class operations 

and a broad range of future development options.

January 2023. The program primarily targeted DID 

mineralisation at the southern Koumbi and Lebombi 

North prospects (Figure 3) testing approximately 20% 

of the 36km BIF strike length of Bakoumba. The results 

of this now completed program will also provide 

information on the potential for Oxide mineralisation 

underlying the DID, and assist in designing a deeper 

diamond drilling program, which is expected to 

commence in the second half of 2023.

Historical metallurgical test work conducted on bulk 

pit samples from both prospects showed DID material 

amenable to upgrade using a processing flowsheet 

similar to that proposed at Baniaka.

Bitam.

Bitam is an early-stage exploration project comprising the Bitam 
(G9-590, 1,463km2) and Ntem (G9-485, 1,156km2) exploration 
licences covering a total area of 2,619km2 in the Woleu-Ntem 
Province in north-west of Gabon (Figure 1). 

Bitam is geologically hosted in the Archean North 

Gabon Massif, which extends to the north into 

Cameroon and the Republic of Congo and hosts 

several significant iron ore deposits. 

During the Year, Genmin commenced a technical 

assessment of its datasets relating to Bitam as 

a precursor to implementing its 2023 exploration 

strategy.

Exploration Licences
The Bitam exploration licence was renewed for three 

years, expiring in 2025, and new exploration licence, 

Ntem was granted. 

Ntem covers an area of 1,156km2 and largely 
encompasses the land area covered by the former 

Minvoul exploration licence, which expired during the 

Year. Ntem endorses the Company to explore for iron 

ore, gold, copper, silver and related metals, which is 

consistent with the contiguous Bitam licence. Following 

the granting of Ntem, the Minvoul/Bitam project was 

renamed Bitam.

The 2022 infill drilling campaign provided supplementary geological and grade information to inform an update  

to the Mineral Resource estimate for Baniaka. This update included re-estimation of the following deposits:

•  DID at Bandjougoy, Tsengué, Flouflou and Bingamba North; and

•  Oxide and Primary BIF at Bandjougoy and Tsengué.

The updated Mineral Resource detailed in Table 1 now totals 758.7Mt grading 36.7% iron. This features a material 

overall tonnage increase in comparison to 260.4Mt in 2021. 

The increase in tonnage of the Mineral Resources is due to:

•  The addition of Bandjougoy to the Oxide and Primary BIF MRE; and 

•  A reclassification of previously estimated in-situ resources at Tsengué using the 2022 review for ’reasonable 

prospects for eventual economic extraction’ in accordance with clause 19 of the JORC Code.

An increase in the tonnage of material reported in the Indicated classification was also achieved during 2022, 

increasing from 24.0Mt in 2021 to 229.2Mt in 2022. The improvement to reporting classification was a result  

of improved geological knowledge and confidence afforded by infill drilling.

Ore Reserves

During the Year, WSP Golder prepared and reported Baniaka’s maiden Ore Reserve estimate, which is supported 

by the Modifying Factors determined by the PFS. WSP Golder completed a series of open pit mining studies 

comprising pit optimisation, life-of-mine and pit stage designs, scheduling and cashflow evaluation of Baniaka’s 

capital and operating costs to establish the technical merits and economic viability of the project as the basis for 

estimating an Ore Reserve, which was prepared and reported under the JORC Code. The Ore Reserve estimate 

was based on exclusively Indicated Mineral Resources for the four PFS Prospects. Only Probable Ore Reserves 

are therefore reported. The maiden Ore Reserve totals 100.9Mt grading 46.9% iron reported in the Probable 

classification is detailed in Table 3. No prior estimates have been completed for comparison.

Notes: 
• Estimate totals may vary reflecting the level of rounding accuracy applied.
• Variable cut-off grades have been estimated on a block value basis. Break-even cut-offs for average grade material by ore type have 

been estimated at the rate of 29% Fe for DID, 29% Fe for HYB and 25% Fe for Soft Oxide.

• The Mineral Resource estimate includes HYB under DID category, while the Ore Reserve reports according to material type DID, HYB and 

Soft Oxide. Ore Reserves are a sub-set of Mineral Resources.

• Dilution and ore loss has been incorporated by block model regularisation at 5mN x 5mE x 4mRL to yield average mining dilution of 2% 

and mining recovery of 94%.

• Capital and operating costs have been estimated from a variety of reputable sources as outlined herein. Initial capital costs are 

estimated at $258 million with sustaining capital US$238 million over the 11.5-year LOM, incurred at the rate of US$1.74/t rock mined. 
Operating costs totalling US$3,642 million over the LOM have been based on average unit ore mining costs US$3.77/t ore, waste mining 
costs US$4.30/t rock, process costs US$2.95/t ore, G&A cost US$2.22/t ore, average product transport cost US$43.65/t product, technical 
services US$0.78/t ore, rehabilitation cost US$0.26/t waste. Additional operating costs are incorporated for stockpile/reclaim cost of US$5.1 
million, clearing and grubbing of US$12.9 million and bulk rejects disposal of US$91.2 million (based on $US2/t dry tailing).

• Selling costs are incurred at the rate of 7.5% government royalty, up to 1% royalty to Anglo American, US$15/t product  

for shipping and insurance.

• Revenue prices are based on the long-term average AME pricing as at September 2022 for the period 2023 to 2033.
• Revenue price penalties are applied consistent with S&P IODEX Platts 62.5% product specifications.
• Revenue price premiums are applied at VIU credit for Fines at the rate of 17% and the market premium for Lump.

Financial Results
For the Year, the Group made a loss of US$8.02 million 

(2021: US$5.35 million loss). The increase in loss is mainly 

due to:

1.  generally higher levels of expensed pre-
development expenditure for Baniaka;

2.  the accounting treatment of the royalty with Anglo 
American resulted in non-cash interest expense  
of US$0.76 million (refer to Note 16 of the Notes  
to Consolidated Financial Statements); and

3.  the impairment of the historical expenditure of 

the now expired Minvoul exploration licence (refer 
to Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements).

Events Arising since the  
end of the Reporting Period
On 1 February 2023, Genmin signed a long-term power 

supply agreement for an initial term of 20 years with 

state-owned SdP. The power supply agreement 

will provide an initial supply of 30MW, which can be 

increased to 50MW to support future expansions  

of Baniaka.

On 21 February 2023, Genmin singed a 15-year rail and 

port services agreement with Owendo Mineral Port 

to provide an integrated mine to ocean going vessel 

transport solution for Baniaka. The agreement is on

Remuneration & Nomination Committee
The main roles and responsibilities of the RNC are to assist the Board to fulfil its responsibilities with respect to 

Director and Senior Executive remuneration, and board composition and diversity, by making recommendations to 

the Board on: 

•  appropriate remuneration levels and policies including incentives for Directors and Senior Executives; 

•  a remuneration framework, which enables the Company to attract, retain and motivate high quality Senior 

Executives who create value for shareholders; and

•  The selection, composition, performance and appointment of members of the Board so that it is effective and 

able to operate in the best interests of shareholders.

The RNC is governed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter, which is available on Genmin’s 

website under the Corporate Governance section.

Mr Hodder does not receive a Non-Executive Director 

fee from the Company as he is a Board nominee of 

Genmin’s major shareholder, Ndovu Capital I B.V. 

The Directors do not receive any additional fees 

for membership on any of the Board committees. 

However, any Director who performs extra services, 

makes any special exertions for the benefit of the 

Company or who otherwise performs services which,  

in the opinion of the Board, are outside the scope of 

the ordinary duties of a Non-Executive Director, may  

be remunerated for the services (as determined by  

the Board) out of the funds of the Company.

Non-Executive Directors may be invited to participate 

in the Company’s Plan. Participation in the Plan is 

subject to shareholder approval and will occur where 

the Board believes it is in the best interests of the 

Company to include Non-Executive Directors in the 

Plan, in particular where such inclusion is designed to

individual’s ability to impact the performance of the 

Company.  

In accordance with accepted practice, it is intended 

that the at-risk elements of total remuneration will 

comprise both short term incentives as a reward for 

performance and long-term incentives that align 

medium and long-term shareholder interests. 

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration of Senior Executives is at a 

sufficient level to provide full and appropriate 

compensation for the relevant skills and responsibilities 

of that executive. Fixed remuneration is set having 

regard to the levels paid in comparable organisations 

at the time of recruitment, recognising the need to 

maintain flexibility to take into account an individual’s 

experience or specialist skills and market demand for 

particular roles.

of the Non-Executive Directors in the Company and

Company.

Performance based remuneration is calculated 

against pre-determined stretch targets, based on a 

percentage of the relevant executive’s package, and 

reviewed by the Board to guard against anomalous  

or unequitable outcomes.

Performance based remuneration can comprise both 

short term (usually annual) and long term (3-5 year) 

incentives. 

GENMIN Annual Report 2022  |  49

Short-Term Incentives 

The Company currently does not have a short-term incentive plan (STIP). The RNC regularly assesses market 
conditions and the stage of the Company, to determine whether it is necessary to develop and adopt an STI plan.

Long-term Incentives

Long term incentives (LTI) may be provided to Senior Executives to reward the achievement of important business 
milestones and the creation of shareholder value.

LTI awards will occur through the Plan. The Plan forms the “at-risk” component of remuneration and Rights will 

generally have a vesting period longer than one year. 

The Rights are issued for no consideration and upon achievement of the relevant milestone, each Right will entitle 

the holder to one fully paid ordinary share in the Company (unless the Board resolves in accordance with the Plan 

to provide an equivalent cash payment). If the milestone is not achieved by the expiry date, the Rights will lapse 

(unless otherwise determined by the Board in accordance with the Plan).

LTI performance is measured annually and subject to the achievement of the performance milestone, Rights will 

vest at the completion of the annual review.

Relationship between Remuneration Policy  
and Company Performance
During the Year, the Company granted Rights to KMP subject to various vesting conditions linked to delivering the 

Company’s one-to-three-year growth plan. Given the Group is an emerging iron ore producer and consequently 

does not have a cashflow, the Company did not set a STIP for the Year.

Details of KMP Rights are listed in the section of the Remuneration Report, which discusses share-based payments.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements                           

for the year ended 31 December 2022 

1.  Statement of Significant Accounting Policies 

The Directors’ have prepared the general-purpose financial statements of the Group in accordance with 

the  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  other 
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). Compliance with 
the Australian Accounting Standards results in full compliance with the International Financial Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Genmin is a for-profit entity for the 

purpose of preparing financial statements under Australian Accounting Standards. 

1.1.  Basis of Preparation 

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  an  accruals  basis  and  are  based  on  historical  costs 

modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets and financial instruments for which the fair 

value basis of accounting has been applied. 

Consideration Basis 

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the parent Company  and all its subsidiaries  on 31 

December 2022. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its 
involvement  with  the  subsidiary  and  has  the  ability  to  affect  those  returns  through  its  power  over  the 

subsidiary. 

All  transactions  and  balances  between  group  companies  are  eliminated  on  consolidation,  including 

unrealised gains and losses on transactions between group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-
group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from 

a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted 

where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. 

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are 

recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable. 

Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss 
and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of 

subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective 

ownership interests.  

Going Concern 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the  Year  were  prepared  on  a  going  concern  basis,  which 
contemplates the continuity of the normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge 

of liabilities in the normal course of business.  

41 

 64  |  Annual Report 2022 GENMIN

 
 
 
Financial Report | Notes Consolidated Financial 
Statements     
As stated in the Group’s consolidated financial statements, the Group incurred a loss of US$8.0 million and 

for the year ended 31 December 2022   

had  a  net  cash  outflow  from  operating  and  investing  activities  of  US$7.0  million  and  US$4.2  million 

respectively for the Year. 

These financial metrics indicate a significant uncertainty as to whether the Group will continue as a going 
concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of 

business and at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements. 

However, the Directors are of the opinion that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will 

be able to continue as a going concern, after taking into consideration of the following factors: 

• 

• 

The Group plans to issue additional shares in the next 12 months under the Corporations Act 2001 

and/or source other additional funding to support the operations; and 

The Group has a history of successful capital raises and seeking alternative sources of financing. 

The Directors believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate 

to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Report. 

Should the Consolidated Entity be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its 
assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different 

to  those  stated  in  the  financial  statements.  The  financial  statements  do  not  include  any  adjustments 
relating  to  the  recoverability  and  classification  of  asset  carrying  amounts  or  to  the  amount  and 

classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern 

and meet its debts as and when they fall due. 

1.2.  Foreign Currency Transactions 

Presentation and Functional Currencies 

The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (US$).  

The Group's functional currency has been unified to US$ since 1 January 2022. Previously, the functional 

currency of the Group’s subsidiaries in Gabon and Republic of the Congo  was CFA franc (XAF), and the 

rest of the Group’s subsidiaries and the parent company used US$ as their functional currency. 

Transactions and Balances 

Transactions  in  foreign  currencies  are  initially  recorded  by  the  Group’s  entities  at  their  respective 

functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.   

Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are  translated  at  the  functional 

currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.  

Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss with the 

exception of monetary items that are designated as part of the hedge of the Group’s net investment in a 
foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) until the net investment is 
disposed of, at which time, the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. Tax charges and credits 

attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recognised in OCI. 

Non-monetary items that  are measured in terms of historical cost  in a foreign currency are translated 
using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair 

value  in  a  foreign  currency  are  translated  using  the  exchange  rates  at  the  date  when  the  fair  value  is 
determined.  The  gain  or  loss  arising  on  translation  of  non-monetary  items  measured  at  fair  value  is 

treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item.

GENMIN Annual Report 2022  |  65

 
 
Financial Report | Notes Consolidated Financial 
Statements     
In determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income 

for the year ended 31 December 2022   

on  the  derecognition  of  a  non-monetary  asset  or  non-monetary  liability  relating  to  advance 
consideration,  the  date  of  the  transaction  is  the  date  on  which  the  Group  initially  recognises  the  non-

monetary  asset  or  non-monetary  liability  arising  from  the  advance  consideration.  If  there  are  multiple 
payments or receipts in advance, Genmin determines the transaction date for each payment or receipt 

of advance consideration.  

Consolidation 

On  consolidation,  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  into  US$  at  the  rate  of 

exchange  prevailing  at  the  reporting  date  and  their  statements  of  profit  or  loss  are  translated  at  the 
average exchange rate for the period. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation 

are recognised in OCI. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular 

assuming  the  property  will  be  recovered  entirely  through  sale.  Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for 

foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss. 

Any  goodwill  arising  on  the  acquisition  of  a  foreign  operation  and  any  fair  value  adjustments  to  the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of 

the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. 

1.3.  Revenue 

Revenue  from  contracts  with  customers  is  recognised  at  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to 

which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. 
For the purposes of AASB 15, for each contract, the Group needs to identify the customer and performance 

obligations; determine the transaction price, which needs to take into account estimates of time value of 
money;  allocate  the  transaction  price  against  performance  obligations;  and  recognise  revenue  when 

control has been transferred.  

When the contract has a repurchase option, the Group needs to assess whether the repurchase option is 

a financing arrangement. If so, the Group shall recognise the asset and recognise a financial liability for 
any  consideration  received  from  the  customer.  In  addition,  if  the  repurchase  price  is  higher  than  the 

consideration received from the customer, the Group shall recognise the difference  as interest expense 
and as a financial liability. If the repurchase lapses, the Group shall derecognise the financial liability and 

recognise revenue. 

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. 

1.4.  Operating Expenses 

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the goods and service or at the date 

of their origin. 

1.5. 

Income Tax 

The income tax expense / (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense / (income) based 

on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and 

liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.  

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted 
at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  in  the  countries  where  the  Company’s  subsidiaries  operate  and

generate taxable income. The Board periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to 

situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where 

appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.  

Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  in  full,  using  the  liability  method,  on  temporary  differences  arising 

between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial 

statements. However, deferred tax is accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability 

in  a  transaction  other  than  a  business  combination  that  at  the  time  of  the  transaction  affects  neither 

accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that 

have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply 

when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the deferred income tax liability is settled.  

A  deferred  tax  liability  in  relation  to  investment  property  that  is  measured  at  fair  value  is  determined 

deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts 

will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Deferred  tax  liabilities  and  assets  are  not  recognised  for  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying 

amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Group is able to control the timing 

of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the 

foreseeable future.  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax 

assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. 

Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset 

and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

1.6.  Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash  comprises  cash  on  hand  and  demand  deposits.  Cash  equivalents  are  short-term,  highly  liquid 

investments  that  are  readily  convertible  to  known  amounts  of  cash  and  which  are  subject  to  an 

insignificant risk of changes in value.  

Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial 

position. 

1.7.  Property, Plant and Equipment 

Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at acquisition cost or manufacturing cost, including 

any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be 

capable of operating in the manner intended by the Group’s management. 

Assets  are  subsequently  measured  using  the  cost  model,  cost  less  subsequent  depreciation  and 

impairment  losses.  Depreciation  is  recognised  on  a  straight-line  basis  to  write  down  the  cost  less 

estimated residual value of the assets. The following useful lives are applied: 

• 

Plant and equipment: three (3) to five (5) years 

•  Office furniture and fittings: four (4) to five (5) years 

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

annually.

within other income or other expenses. 

Useful lives of Depreciable Assets 

Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected 
utility  of  the  assets  to  the  Group.  Actual  results,  however,  may  vary  due  to  technical  obsolescence, 

particularly relating to software and IT equipment. The effect of any changes in estimates are accounted 

for on a prospective basis. 

Impairment testing of Property Plant & Equipment 

Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s 

carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair 
value  less  costs  of  disposal  and  value  in  use.  For  the  purposes  of  assessing  impairment,  assets  are 

grouped  at  the  lowest  levels  for  which  there  are  separately  identifiable  cash  inflows  which  are  largely 
independent  of  the  cash  inflows  from  other  assets  or  groups  of  assets  (cash  generating  units).  Non-

financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end 

of each reporting period. 

1.8.  Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as 

Employees (including Directors) of the Group may receive remuneration (e.g. Rights) in the form of share-

an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions 

based payments.  

are satisfied: 

a)  the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and 
b)  at least one of the following conditions is also met: 

(i)  the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful 

using an appropriate valuation method.   

development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or 

(ii)  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

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. 

1.9.  Equity and Reserves 

Share  capital  represents  the  historical  value  of  shares  that  have  been  issued.  Any  transaction  costs 

associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital. 

• 

• 

Foreign currency translation reserve – comprises foreign currency translation differences arising 

on the translation of financial statements of the Group’s foreign entities into US Dollars. 

•  Acquisition of non-controlling interest reserve – comprises the amount of share capital issued by 

the Parent of the Group in order to acquire non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. 

•  Options reserve – comprises the number of options issued in lieu of payment of costs incurred. 

Performance right reserve – comprises the number of Rights issued. 

1.10.  Employee Benefits 

Share-Based Payment 

Equity-Settled Transactions 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made 

That cost is recognised in employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity 

(Rights reserves), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions 

are  fulfilled  (the  vesting  period).  The cumulative  expense  recognised for  equity-settled  transactions  at 

each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and 

the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. At each reporting 

date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest as a result of 

the effect of non-market conditions. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss for a period 

represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.  

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant 

date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s 

best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions 

are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an 

associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are 

reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are 

also service and/or performance conditions.  

No  expense  is  recognised  for  awards  that  do  not  ultimately  vest  because  non-market  performance 

and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition,

does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been 

for the year ended 31 December 2022   

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. 

1.9.  Equity and Reserves 

Share  capital  represents  the  historical  value  of  shares  that  have  been  issued.  Any  transaction  costs 

associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital. 

• 

Foreign currency translation reserve – comprises foreign currency translation differences arising 

on the translation of financial statements of the Group’s foreign entities into US Dollars. 

•  Acquisition of non-controlling interest reserve – comprises the amount of share capital issued by 

the Parent of the Group in order to acquire non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. 

•  Options reserve – comprises the number of options issued in lieu of payment of costs incurred. 
• 

Performance right reserve – comprises the number of Rights issued. 

1.10.  Employee Benefits 

Share-Based Payment 

Employees (including Directors) of the Group may receive remuneration (e.g. Rights) in the form of share-

based payments.  

Equity-Settled Transactions 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made 

using an appropriate valuation method.   

That cost is recognised in employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity 

(Rights reserves), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions 
are  fulfilled  (the  vesting  period).  The cumulative  expense  recognised for  equity-settled  transactions  at 

each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and 
the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. At each reporting 

date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest as a result of 
the effect of non-market conditions. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss for a period 

represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.  

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant 

date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s 
best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions 

are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an 
associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are 

reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are 

also service and/or performance conditions.  

No  expense  is  recognised  for  awards  that  do  not  ultimately  vest  because  non-market  performance 
and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, 

46 

GENMIN Annual Report 2022  |  69

the  transactions  are  treated  as  vested  irrespective  of  whether  the  market  or  non-vesting  condition  is 

for the year ended 31 December 2022   

satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.  

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the grant 

date  fair  value  of  the  unmodified  award,  provided  the  original  vesting  terms  of  the  award  are  met.  An 
additional  expense,  measured  as  at  the  date  of  modification,  is  recognised  for  any  modification  that 

increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the 
employee. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of 

the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss. 

Cash-Settled Transactions 

A liability is recognised for the fair value of cash-settled transactions. The fair value is measured initially 

and at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised 
in  employee  benefits  expense.  The  fair  value  is  expensed  over  the  period  until  the  vesting  date  with 

recognition  of  a  corresponding  liability.  The  approach  used  to  account  for  vesting  conditions  when 

measuring equity-settled transactions also applies to cash-settled transactions. 

1.11.  Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets 

Provisions  for  legal  disputes,  onerous  contracts  or  other  claims  are  recognised  when  the  Group  has  a 
present  legal  or  constructive  obligation  as  a  result  of  a  past  event,  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of 

economic resources will be required from the Group and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or 

amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. 

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on 
the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated 

with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow 
will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions 

are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material. 

Any reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the 

obligation  is  recognised  as  a  separate  asset.  However,  this  asset  may  not  exceed  the  amount  of  the 

related provision. 

No  liability  is  recognised  if  an  outflow  of  economic  resources  as  a  result  of  present  obligation  is  not 
probable. Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the outflow of resources is remote 

in which case no liability is recognised. 

1.12.  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

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

incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office or the relevant taxation jurisdiction that the 
Group operates in. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the 

asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown 

inclusive of GST if the GST is not recoverable.  

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component 

of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

1.13. 

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets 

for the year ended 31 December 2022   

At  each  reporting  date,  the  Group  reviews  the  carrying  values  of  non-financial  assets  to  determine 

whether  there  is  any  indication  that  those  assets  have  been  impaired.  If  such  an  indication  exists,  the 
recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in 

use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows 
are  discounted  to  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  that  reflects  current  market 

assessments  of  the  time  value  of  money  and  the  risks  specific  to  the  asset  for  which  the  estimates  of 

future cash flows have not been adjusted. 

Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit 

or loss and other comprehensive income.  

1.14.  Financial Instruments 

Initial Recognition and Measurement 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions to the instruments. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits 

itself to either purchase or sell the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).  

Financial  instruments  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value  plus  transaction  costs,  except  where  the 

instruments are classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed 

to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below. 

Classification and Subsequent Measurement 

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective 

interest rate method or cost. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid 
to transfer a liability in orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where 

available,  quoted  prices  in  an  active  market  are  used  to  determine  fair  value.  In  other  circumstances, 
valuation techniques are adopted. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use 

of observable market data. 

Amortised cost is calculated as (i) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured 

at initial recognition; (ii) less principal repayments; (iii) plus or minus the cumulative amortization of the 
difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the 

effective interest method; and (iv) less any reduction for impairment.  

The  effective  interest  method  is  used  to  allocate  interest  income  or  interest  expense  over  the  relevant 

period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts 
(including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when 

this  cannot  be  reliability  predicted,  the  contractual  term)  of  the  financial  instrument  to  the  net  carry 
amount  of  the  financial  asset  or  financial  liability.  Revisions  to  expected  future  net  cash  flows  will 

necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense 
in  profit  or  loss.  The  Group  does  not  designate  any  interest  in  subsidiaries,  associates  or  joint  venture 

entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial 

statements. 

48 

GENMIN Annual Report 2022  |  71

 
 
 
 
Financial Report | Notes Consolidated Financial 
Statements     
(i)  Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss or through other comprehensive Income 

for the year ended 31 December 2022   

Financial  assets  are  classified  at  ‘fair  value  through  profit  or  loss’  or  ‘fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive  Income’  when  they  are  either  held  for  trading  purposes  for  short-term  profit  taking, 

derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting 
mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by KMP on 

a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets 
are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss if 

electing to choose ‘fair value through profit or loss’ or other comprehensive income if electing ‘fair value 

through other comprehensive income’.  

(ii)  Financial Liabilities 

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loan and borrowings, provisions for cash 

bonus and other liabilities which include deferred cash consideration and deferred equity consideration 

for acquisition of subsidiaries & associates.  

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and,  in the case of loans and borrowings, and 

payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.  

Fair Value  

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are 
applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, 

reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.  

Derecognition  

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipts of cash flows expire or the asset 

is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in 
the  risk  and  benefits  associated  with  the  asset.  Financial  Liabilities  are  recognised  where  the  related 

obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the 
financial  liability  extinguished  or  transferred  to  another  party  and  the  fair  value  of  consideration  paid, 

including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 

Derivative Financial Instruments 

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are 
subsequently  remeasured  to  their  fair  value  at  each  reporting  date.  The  accounting  for  subsequent 

changes in fair value depends on the nature of the derivative and are recognised in the statement of profit 

or loss.

Accounting Policies 

Adoption of New and Revised Standards 

Genmin has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the  AASB that 

are relevant to its operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2022. 

Standards and Interpretations in Issue Not Yet Adopted 

Genmin has reviewed the new and revised standards and interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the 

year ended 31 December 2022. As a result of this review the entity has determined that there is no material 

impact of the standards and interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the entity; therefore, no change 

is necessary to entity accounting policies. 

When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates 

and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. 

The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Group 

that have the most significant effect on the financial statements. 

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 

The Group capitalises exploration expenditure where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the 

activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of resources 

or  reserves.  While  there  are  certain  areas  of  interest  from  which  no  reserves  have  been  extracted,  the 

Directors are of the view that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such 

areas have not yet concluded. In addition, the Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting 

period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group, that may be indicative of impairment 

triggers. 

Rights 

Financial Liability 

The Board of Directors review the Rights on a regular basis to determine whether the conditions have been 

met; and to assess likelihood of the performance conditions being fulfilled. Once the review is completed, 

the Company makes the accounting adjustments to reflect the results from the review.  

The Directors current intention is to exercise the Buy-back Option as prescribed in the Royalty Agreement 

with Anglo American in the 2024 calendar year. The Directors review this assumption on a regular basis 

and the Group will make appropriate adjustments, subject to the outcome of the review.

The former Minvoul exploration licence (G9-512) (Minvoul) was held by Azingo Gabon SA (a wholly owned 

subsidiary of Genmin) and was scheduled to expire on 21 June 2021. Consequently, a three-year extension 

application was lodged with the Mining Administration on 19 March 2021.  

Following consultation with the Mining Administration, the Company was advised that the extension for 

Minvoul  would  be  declined,  and  the  Mining  Administration  suggested  the  Company  lodge  a  new 

exploration licence, which would cover substantially the same area  (subsequently called Ntem). On 26

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses have not been brought to account at 31 December 

2022 because the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets 

as probable at this time. These benefits will only be obtained if: 

a)  The  Company  and  the  Group  derive  future  assessable  income  of  a  nature  and  an  amount 

sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised; 

b)  The Company and the Group continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by 

law; and 

c)  No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the ability of the Company and consolidated entity 

to realise these benefits.

The Facility had a Maturity Date of 30 June 2021, and the Repayment Amount was due and payable 

on 31 December 2021. 

Subject  to  certain  regulatory  approvals,  Tembo  Fund  may  elect  to  convert  the  notes  into 

conversion shares at the conversion price, which will equal or higher of: 

100%  subtract  the  15%  discount  rate  then  multiplied  by  the  price  per  share  payable  on  the 

basis of the fair market value that is determined by an independent expert and; 

the floor price, which is US$0.15 per share.  

Tembo Fund retrospectively received the Foreign Investment Review Board approval of the Deed on 25 

November 2020 and accordingly, Genmin recognised the embedded derivative. Prior to receiving the FIRB 

approval, Genmin treated the Facility as an unsecured debt. 

Contemporaneous with the IPO and capital raising, Tembo Fund converted the Facility into ordinary shares 

pursuant to the Tembo Fund Offer set out in the Prospectus.

22.  Commitments and Contingencies 

for the year ended 31 December 2022   

22.1.  Exploration Expenditure Commitments 

Republic  of  Gabon  prescribes  minimum  annual  expenditure  obligations  for  Exploration  Licences.  The 

Company expects it will be able to meet any expenditure obligations imposed for any of the Exploration 
Licences that it holds in the normal course of operations. If any expenditure obligations are not met, then 

the Company has the ability to request a waiver of these obligations or to negotiate amended obligations 
for the remaining term of the Exploration Licence or relinquish the Exploration Licence. The current total 

commitment over the next three years is around US$3.5 million. 

22.2.  Contingencies  

Tax Audit on Genmin Congo SA 

The Tax Authority in Republic of the Congo conducted a tax audit on Genmin Congo SA for the calendar 

years  of  2017  and  2018.  On  26  November  2021,  the  Tax  Authority  issued  the  Amended  Confirmation  of 
Adjustment, and it states the amount owed to the Tax Authority is XAF 127,550,302 FCFA (US$207,580). Upon 

receiving a Collection Notice, Genmin Congo will have three months to file an application to dispute the 
tax audit findings. At the time of this report, Genmin  Congo has not received the Collection Notice and 

intends to dispute the audit findings once it receives the Collection Notice. 

23.  Financial Instrument Risk 

The  Group’s  principal  financial  instrument  is  comprised  of  cash.  The  main  purpose  of  this  financial 

instrument is to provide working capital for the Group and to fund its operations. 

The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most 

significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below. 

23.1.  Liquidity Risk 

The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  monitoring  cash  levels  on  an  ongoing  basis  against  budget  and 

forecast cash flows. The Group’s operations require it to raise capital to fund its exploration programs. 

23.2.  Credit Risk 

Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  a  counterparty  will  default  on  its  contractual  obligations  resulting  in 

financial loss to the group. All material cash balances held at banks are held at internationally recognised 

institutions.

GENMIN Annual Report 2022  |  93

 
 
 
 
Financial Report | Notes Consolidated Financial 
Statements     
23.3.  Interest Rate Risk 

for the year ended 31 December 2022   

The Group has minimal interest rate risk arising from cash and cash equivalents held as funds are held in 

US$ and converted to AU$ as required. Interest received on US$ deposits is negligible. 

23.4.  Foreign Currency Risk 

As a result of the Group operating overseas (Gabon), the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk from 

commercial  transactions  denominated  in  a  currency  that  is  not  the  Group’s  functional  currency.  The 
Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from purchases by an operating 

entity other than the Group’s functional currency. The Group does not enter into forward foreign exchange 
contracts  or  any  other  forms  of  foreign  currency  protection  instruments  and  does  not  have a  hedging 

policy. 

24.  Capital Management 

When managing capital, the Board’s objective is to ensure the Group continues as a going concern as 

well as to maximise the returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Board also aims 

to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity. 

The Board is constantly reviewing the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital 
or high return on assets. As the market is constantly changing, the Board may issue new shares, return 
capital to shareholders or sell assets.

27.  Events after the Reporting Period  

for the year ended 31 December 2022   

On 1 February 2023, Genmin signed a long-term power supply agreement for an initial term of 20 years 
with Gabon state-owned SdP. The power supply agreement will provide an initial supply of 30MW, which 

can be increased to 50MW to support future expansions of Baniaka. 

On 21 February 2023, Genmin signed a 15-year rail and port services agreement with OMP to provide an 

integrated mine to ocean going vessel transport solution for Baniaka. The agreement is on a send or pay 

basis for a guaranteed 5Mtpa as well as provision to scale up to 15Mtpa. 

On  10  March  2023,  256,284,967  ordinary  shares,  5,250,000  unlisted  options  and  750,000  unlisted 

performance rights were released from voluntary and mandatory escrow. 

On 28 March 2023, 2,282,500 Rights lapsed because their vesting conditions were not satisfied or became 
incapable  of  being  satisfied.  On  the  same  date,  125,000  Rights  vested  following  the  satisfaction  of  the 

vesting conditions. 

Other than the events stated above, there has not been any other matter or circumstance that has arisen 

after balance date that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, 

the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in future periods.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  Genmin  Limited  (“the  Company”)  and  its  subsidiaries  (“the 

Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at  31 December 

2022,  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and 

notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ 
declaration. 

In our opinion: 

a. 

the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 
2001, including: 

(i) 

giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 
and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and 

(ii) 

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

b. 

the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 

1. 

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 Consolidated Entity 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.

GENMIN Annual Report 2022  |  101

 
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

We draw attention to Note 1.1 in the financial report which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a 

net loss of US$8.02 million during the year ended 31 December 2022.   As stated  in Note 1.1, these events or

conditions,  along  with  other  matters  as  set  forth  in  Note  1.1,  indicate  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists  that 

may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Our opinion is 

not modified of this matter. 

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.

Other Information  

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the  information 

included in the Consolidated Entity’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2022, 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 Note 1, the 
directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard  AASB 101 Presentation of Financial 

Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.  

GENMIN Annual Report 2022  |  103

 
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Consolidated Entity’s ability 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 Consolidated Entity or to cease 

operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from 

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable  assurance  is  a  high  level  of  assurance,  but  is  not  a  guarantee  that  an  audit  conducted  in 

accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.  

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, 
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this 

financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with 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 Consolidated Entity’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 Consolidated Entity’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 Consolidated Entity 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. 

•  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the  entities  or 
business activities within the Consolidated Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Consolidated Entity audit. We remain 

solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

 104  |  Annual Report 2022 GENMIN

 
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. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 
2022.  The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration 

report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 

the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 

Auditor’s Opinion 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Genmin Limited, for the year ended 31 December 2022, complies 

with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
