Chairperson’s Address
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
On behalf of the Board of Globe Metals & Mining Limited (“Globe” or “the Group”), it is my pleasure to
present to you the 2020 Annual Report.
Consistent with the strategy outlined in my address in the 2019 Annual Report, the Group has maintained
momentum on advancing the Kanyika Development Agreement, updating the technical components of a
Feasibility Study, and assessing a range of project financing options.
Notwithstanding, the recent change in government in Malawi with the inauguration of a new President in
July, it appears that finalisation of the Kanyika Development Agreement with the Government of Malawi is
nearing finalisation and the Company is optimistic, based upon its dialogue with, and the responsiveness of
key government officials, that the Development Agreement will be finalised and executed this financial year.
Execution of the Kanyika Development Agreement is a pre-condition to the issue of a mining licence which
we are reliably informed will immediately follow. Once the Kanyika Development Agreement is executed and
the mining licence issued, the Company will be in a position to move forward with project funding and off-
take arrangements and the Company’s Board and management is optimistic in realising project financing and
development opportunities in the near term.
On a positive note for Kanyika, latest reports from the World Steel Association suggest that global steel
demand will fall by 6.4% during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but recover in 2021 to near pre-
pandemic levels due to the expected faster recovery of China as compared to the rest of the world. And as
demand for higher quality steels rises as a proportion of total steel demand, and the usage in the automobile
and aerospace industries, particularly in China, India and Japan, grows the need for niobium is increasing at
a faster rate than steel output.
Despite the pandemic, analysts are still predicting that demand for niobium will grow at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of around 6% during the period 2020 to 2025. Major factors driving the market are an
increased consumption of niobium in structural steel due to its characteristics of tensile strength and
durability (for use in bridges, buildings and other large constructions such as hangars and stadiums), the
extensive utilisation of niobium-based alloys in energy-efficient buildings and infrastructure, and the
manufacture of aircraft engines and automobiles. Lightweight materials and designs have become
increasingly important in the manufacture of automobiles, where driving dynamics is a major factor.
Additionally, the emerging focus of governments across the world on minimising carbon emissions and
enhancing fuel economy has increased the importance of lightweight materials in automotive production.
These combinations of growth and demand bode well for the price of niobium. As does the new emerging
market of niobium in new technologies like wind turbines, medical imaging, particle accelerators, as well as an
exciting development in the manufacture of high-performance and ultra-safe ultra-rapid rechargeable
batteries for electrical vehicles.
In the coming year the Group will continue to be cost prudent, whilst maintaining momentum on Kanyika
development opportunities.
In closing, I thank all shareholders, board of directors, and employees for their support of the Group in the
year past and I am looking forward to their continued support in the year to come.
Yours sincerely,
GLOBE METALS & MINING LIMITED

Review of Operations
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
Globe Metals and Mining Limited (Globe) is an Australian registered public company and has been listed
on the ASX since December 2005 (ASX: GBE).
The Company’s focus is its Kanyika Niobium Project, which is the 5th largest
un-developed niobium resource in the world, and located in central
Malawi, ~260kms north of the capital city of Lilongwe.
The Company has an administration and operational centre in Lilongwe
(Malawi) in support of its on-the-ground exploration activities and a
corporate head office in Midvale (Western Australia).
Kanyika Niobium Project
Globe identified niobium and tantalum mineralisation in 2007 at Kanyika
has been undertaking exploration and resource development activities
since.
Drilling programs totalling 33.8 kilometres of percussion and core drilling
have confirmed the extent of mineralisation. Structured and progressive
engineering studies have resulted in the current (JORC 2012) resource statement and given rise to significant
improvements and simplifications in the process flowsheet.
In addition, Globe has undertaken substantial metallurgical optimisation work and commissioned a pilot
plant to demonstrate and further optimise metallurgical processes. Metallurgical optimisations studies have
improved recoveries from 62% in 2012 to 75% today, through simple novel patented (patent AP 5248)
metallurgical processes.
The Kanyika operations will produce a pyrochlore mineral concentrate that contains both niobium and
tantalum in commercially valuable volumes to be shipped to a refinery for advanced processing into high
purity materials.
Overview of Project Flowsheet
Mining and Processing
The Malawi Kanyika operations involve a small-scale conventional drill
and blast mining operation that mines and transports ore to a
processing plant. On average the mine will produce 1.5 million tonne
of ore per annum for feed to the process plant, and an additional 2
million tonne of waste rock that is hauled to waste rock dumps. At the
processing plant, ore is crushed and then ground to less than 0.1mm
for treatment to recover pyrochlore – a mineral containing niobium
and tantalum. Through a series of simple separation and flotation
stages, a pyrochlore mineral concentrate is produced grading about
40% niobium and 1% tantalum. This concentrate is filtered and packed
for export.

Review of Operations
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
Refining
Refining involves the treatment of pyrochlore mineral concentrate with strong acids to liberate niobium and
tantalum products. Solvent extraction recovers niobium as niobium pentoxide and tantalum as tantalum
pentoxide - both grading better than 99% purity. The refinery could alternatively produce a tantalum salt
(K2TaF7) used in the electronic industry, dependent on customer demand. This process technique was chosen
as the refinery will be able to recover and sell both niobium and tantalum creating a value-added outcome.
The alternative process route, smelting, would result in a niobium product with no credit for the content of
tantalum and therefore does not result in the best commercial outcome for the project. The recovery and
sale of tantalum products results in an additional 15% of revenue to the value of the mineral concentrate
and refinery operations. This additional revenue is expected to almost cover the total operating cost of
mining and refining operations.
Production
The current optimised operational design results in the life-of-mine average production of 3,250 tonne per
annum of niobium products and 120 tonne per annum of tantalum products. Some production is higher in
the early stages of the operation due to high ore grades in the mining schedule.
Products
The Company’s operations will produce both high purity niobium and tantalum pentoxide products. Based
on customer specifications, these products can then be further refined in to high-purity high-value products.
Global Market for Niobium
Uses
Approximately 90% of all niobium used is consumed as ferroniobium in steelmaking. The rest goes into a
wide range of smaller-volume but higher-value applications, such as high-performance alloys (which include
superalloys), carbides, superconductors, electronic components and functional ceramics, and into various
new-age technologies described below.
Niobium is a key component in new generation superalloys vital to aerospace, construction, transportation,
oil & gas, wind turbine, military equipment industries

Review of Operations
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
Although the unit consumption of niobium in steel is very small—fractions of a percent by weight of a tonne
of finished steel—the benefits are large. Niobium additions in steel significantly increases strength, so less
steel is required overall, which can reduce cost substantially. This has been the basis for the development
and growth in its use of steels over the last few decades and should remain the driver in the years to come.
Niobium intensity of use is relatively low in several large, steel-producing nations, such as China, but also
India and Southeast Asia. The capacity for an increase in niobium intensity of use and a potential increasing
usage in long products (rebar) provide an area of potential growth in niobium demand. With Chinese
regulations now requiring higher ferroalloy loadings in construction, the outlook for ferroniobium and
ferrovanadium demand, looks positive.
$9 of Niobium added to a mid-sized automobile reduces its weight by 100kg, increasing fuel efficiency by 5%
Demand
Demand for ferroniobium has increased considerably over the past two years. A tight vanadium market
coupled with the introduction of new rebar standards in China caused ferrovanadium demand (and prices)
to spike in 2018. This prompted unexpected levels of substitution. Chinese steel makers started to use
ferroniobium in Grade 3 rebar which, coupled with strong demand for ferroniobium in line pipe and
automotive applications, meant that imports into China (and exports out of Brazil) reached record highs.
The COVID-19 pandemic halted the rising demand for ferroniobium in the early part of 2020, however
analysts report that demand is returning to more normal levels since mid-year with China largely recovered
from the effects of the pandemic.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
Supply
Almost all ferroniobium supply is sourced from three industrialised producers, two in Brazil and one in
Canada. By far the largest is Companhia Brasileira de Metalurgia e Mineração (CBMM), which operates a
pyrochlore mine and processing plant near Araxá in east-central Minas Gerais state in Brazil. CBMM is
estimated to account for over 80% of the world’s supply. While historically the company has operated
comfortably below operational capacity, recent increases in demand translated into rising operating rates
and prompted an increase its ferroniobium capacity by 50% over the period to 2021. The other major
producers, Magris Resources in Canada and China Molybdenum in Brazil are thought to be operating at close
to capacity.
New Applications
Niobium is at the forefront of numerous new-age technologies including gas and wind turbines, medical
imaging, particle accelerators, space travel, and in the manufacture of high-performance and ultra-safe ultra-
rapid rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles.
Quantities of niobium are being used in nickel, cobalt, and iron-based superalloys for such applications as jet
engine components, gas turbines, rocket subassemblies, turbo charger systems, heat resisting, and
combustion equipment. These superalloys were used, for example, in advanced air frame systems for
the Gemini program and in the main engine of the Apollo Lunar Modules, and more recently in the liquid
rocket thruster nozzles of the Melin Vacuum engines developed by SpaceX for the upper stage of its Falcon
9 rocket.
The use of niobium in rechargeable batteries is an exciting development for niobium. Toshiba’s next
generation rechargeable battery for electric vehicles features a niobium anode, allowing for higher
performance, longer-life, quicker charging, and safer batteries, and it is expected to become the industry
standard.
Analysts believe that usage of niobium in EV batteries will represent a substantial source of demand for
niobium in years to come and highlight that CBMM currently is spending around US$10M on R&D for the
batteries segment.
Niobium – a Strategic Metal
Due to its widespread use in defence and aerospace, niobium is
considered a ‘strategic metal’ by several governments, including
United States of America, United Kingdom and Russia.
A “strategic metal’ is one for which there are few or no
substitutes, and for which there exists an essential use.
In the case of the United States of America, the critical nature of
niobium is high, because there are only a few sources throughout
the world and it is wholly dependent upon imports.

Outlook
The latest reports from the World Steel Association forecasts global steel demand to fall by 6.4% during 2020
due to the COVID-19 pandemic but recover in 2021 to near pre-pandemic levels. The increased growth and
demand for higher quality steels is rising as a proportion of total steel demand. In addition, increased usage
within the automobile and aerospace industries, particularly in China, India and Japan, increases the demand
for niobium at a faster rate than steel output. Importantly, the need for high purity niobium products is
increasing significantly.
Despite the pandemic, analysts are still predicting that demand for niobium will grow at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of around 6% during the period 2020 to 2025. Major factors driving the market are:
•
increased consumption of niobium in structural steel due to its characteristics of tensile strength
and durability for use in bridges, buildings and other large constructions such as hangars and
stadiums;
• extensive utilisation of niobium-based alloys in the manufacture of high-performance engines and
automobiles; and
• use in new age technologies and military applications.
Lightweight materials and designs have become increasingly important in the manufacture of automobiles,
where driving dynamics is a major factor. Additionally, the emerging focus of governments across the world
on minimising carbon emissions and enhancing fuel economy has increased the importance of lightweight
materials in the production of automobiles. Just one kilogram of niobium in one tonne of steel reduces the
weight of the steel product by 10% and improves strength and durability.
These combinations of growth and demand bode well for the demand and price of niobium. As does the new
emerging market for niobium in new-age technologies particularly in the areas of space travel and in the
manufacture of high-performance and ultra-safe ultra-rapid rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles.
Niobium’s unique role in new-age technologies is further illustrated in the niobium-intensive €20bn ITER
reactor (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) located in France. This is the world’s largest
nuclear fusion project and began its five-year assembly phase in France in July 2020. The 35-nation
collaboration is the most complex engineering endeavour in history, and by replicating reactions powering
the sun, ITER will demonstrate commercial-scale generation of nuclear fusion. This reactor could be a
revolution in the evolution in the generation of emission-free electricity.

Pricing
Niobium
Niobium is typically used in the structural steel industry, the chemical industry, or the super and master alloy
industries. Currently, niobium prices range from US$45 per kilogram (US$45,000 per tonne) for standard
ferroniobium metal and greater than US$50 per kilogram for niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5). Higher purity and
more specialised products realise higher prices. The volatility of niobium prices is extremely low, one key
factor in customer supply-chain certainty.
Tantalum
Tantalum is typically sold as a tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5), as a tantalum salt (K2TaF7) or tantalum metal. Most
tantalum is used in the aerospace industry (including space flight), the electronics (technology) industry or in
the health industry. Tantalum concentrate prices (for 30% Ta2O5 content) have decreased in prices
significantly due to excess supply and have historically exhibited significant variability. Tantalum pentoxide
prices, having much lower price volatility, range from US$250 to $310 per kilogram dependent on the quality.
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
On 11 July 2018, Globe published an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Kanyika Niobium Project
(KNP) calculated in accordance with 2012 JORC guidelines.
The resource calculated was unchanged from the previous Mineral Resource Estimate published on 7 January
2011, calculated in accordance with the 2004 JORC guidelines, and is as follows:

Note: no additions or changes have been made to the Mineral Resource Estimate since it was last published.
The Company has established an Ore Reserve which can only be used for internal purposes at this stage
primarily due to a conservative approach and until the Company can be assured that a Mining Licence will be
granted by the Government. The Ore Reserve is based on substantial studies including, environmental and
environmental impact, social, legal environment, geological, mineralogical, geotechnical, hydrology,
metallurgical, project location, mining, process flowsheets, transportation, project management, marketing,
risk assessment, mine closure and rehabilitation, policy and operational management procedures, capital
estimates and operating estimates. The Company will release this Ore Reserve statement on finalisation of
the Development Agreement or when security of a Mining License can be reasonably assured.

Feasibility Study
Globe has undertaken scoping, prefeasibility and pilot plant studies in the engineering development of the
project. In 2018, Globe commenced work aimed at updating and finalising the technical components of the
engineering program in order to support project funding initiatives, in light of the changing outlook for the
mining and resources industry, and feedback from the Government of Malawi on anticipated progress of the
development agreement for the mining licence. The development agreement has been substantially delayed
with the gazetting of a new mining act and key personnel changes in government.
Globe has finalised the revision of all studies and plans, such that the technical programs associated with the
mineral resource, mining, metallurgical studies, processing, engineering design and infrastructural support
are all done to a technical detail that is satisfactory to feasibility engineering classification standards.
Globe has obtained updated capital and operating cost estimates and had updated its financial model for
revised capital costs, revenues and operating costs in order to determine key metrics including but not limited
to project revenue, profitability and payback. Confidential and internal metrics on the value proposition of
the project are highly encouraging and the Company is confident of progress to offtake and financing
arrangements once confidence that a mining licence will be issued.
The final stage of engineering needed to be undertaken for financing will be the FEED program – meaning
the “Front End Engineering Designs” – the phase immediately before construction. It is anticipated that this
program will be undertaken once conditional sales agreement and conditional bankable finance – both
debt and equity – is completed. Once the FEED program is completed, the tender for construction contracts
can begin.
Development Timeline
The Company has no rights or authority to commence siteworks or community relocation until a mining
license is issued. Once the license is issued, the Company shall proceed to financing and sales agreements
before a formal notice of Decision to Mine is made. From that decision date the development and
construction works including the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) programs as well as community
compensation and relocation programs will commence. So that the community has adequate time to plan
relocation a 12-month notice period will be provided at the appropriate time. The FEED program and
tendering for construction services will also require 12 months, and both can be undertaken in parallel with
community notices. Construction should take 24 months from the commencement of on-site construction
and includes 3 months commissioning.
Development Agreement
The Kanyika Exclusive Prospecting Licence (EPL0188) was due for expiry at the end of December 2014. In
early December 2014, Globe applied for a Mining Licence. Globe received notification in June 2015 from
Malawi Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy & Mining (now the Ministry of Mines) that its application for a
Mining Lease, currently registered as AML0026, has been approved subject to completion of a Development
Agreement. Globe also has an exploration licence EPL0421 separate to and bordering onto AML0026.

Review of Operations
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
The Development Agreement negotiations are continuing in good faith with the Government of Malawi,
however, Globe has experienced delays due to changes in Government and to key government personnel,
changes to the Mining Act, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has impacted Globe’s ability to meet
with key personnel at times. This has slowed the finalisation and execution of the Development Agreement,
but it otherwise remains on track for execution in the current financial year.
A key outcome of the project is the flow of financial, community and social benefits to the Malawian people
and communities. Over the life of the operation, the commercial model forecasts a government mineral
royalty of 5% that will generate US$86.5M in cashflow, a 0.45% community mineral royalty, while other
community social responsibility programs and community development agreement programs will generate
additional local opportunities.
Community
The relevant members of the Kanyika community affected by development, construction and operations
activities will require relocation from the Kanyika project area. The Company has made a commitment to
provide 12 months of notice to the affected members before relocation and compensation, with such
compensation governed by Government regulations and guidelines. In addition, relevant sites of historical
significance and graveyards will also be preserved or relocated where necessary. These works will be carefully
undertaken with supervision and management by local residents and independent consultants. The Company
has no legal right to provide notice or relocate affected members of the Community until the development
agreement has been signed and a mining licence issued. The Company is working diligently with the
Government on all these issues and has at all times abided by the directions of the Government.
Environmental Studies
Globe has completed environmental and social impact assessment studies for the upgrade of 30 kilometres
of road from Chataloma on the M1 highway to the Kanyika Project site and been issued EIA certificate number
41.7.4. In addition, the Company has completed the Kanyika Project environmental and social impact
assessment and been issued EIA certificate number 43A.4.5 for site works and operations. In May 2020, the
Company updated and resubmitted this report such that it complies and accounts for changes with the
amended Environmental Management Act (2016) and the new Mines and Minerals Act (2018). A copy of this
report is available on the Company website.
Project Development and Financing
The Kanyika Project remains ready for development subject to execution of the Development Agreement
and initiatives with marketing and finance. The executive team continue to advance plans and discussions
with regulators and other stakeholders as regards project development and to examine opportunities for
project enhancement, including reconfiguration of project arrangements. In addition, the executive team
continued its dialogue with various parties regarding marketing and financing; although it is noted that the
ongoing delay with finalisation and execution of the Development Agreement and the impacts of COVID-19
pandemic have prevented the executive team from meeting face-to-face with these parties, delaying
progress in this area.

Project Funding Requirements
In Malawi, for mining and processing operations, a capital estimate of US$150M (to an accuracy of -5% to
+15%) includes all Plant Property and Equipment (“PPE”) for the mine and processing plant, offices and
accommodation facilities and upgrading road infrastructure from the main highway.
The current estimate for the refinery is in the order of US$30M to US$50M. This cost will be dependent on
the location of the refinery – an exercise that is not yet complete – and will be dependent on the
infrastructural services and commercial environment where the refinery will be located. It will also depend
on the types and qualities of product that customers will need. For instance, producing a 99.99% niobium
pentoxide will require a larger washing plant, and if a customer wants a portion of production as a tantalum
salt (K2TaF7) then relevant equipment will be required. The refinery may even produce a portion of
production as a high purity ferroniobium metal for sale into the master or superalloy metal industries. These
additional refinery equipment costs will all depend on customer needs and sales contracts.
In addition to direct costs for capital, the development phase will also need capital for administration and
development support services estimated at US$10M, and working capital estimated at US$20M, during the
commissioning and early production stage. Working capital is used to maintain operations costs until the first
sales revenue is received.
Therefore, the total estimated capital cost is in the range of US$210M to US$230M.
Debt finance can typically range from 30% to 70% of this capital cost, but will be dependent on the structure,
length and value of the sales agreements. Banks are an important part, and a partner, in the structure of sale
and marketing agreements with customers.
Sales Agreements
The Company preference is to have long term strategic partners for the offtake of production. Some smaller
volume contracts with shorter contract terms (say, of up to 3 years) may also be accommodated. Some of
these sales relationships may also create opportunities to be involved in partnerships for downstream
processing. The Company anticipates that Japan, the greater Europe region, Russia, China and the Americas
will be a significant focus in sales agreements.
Exploration Results, Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Estimation Governance Statement

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Group proposes to continue its exploration program and investment activities across its mineral industry interests. Further
information in relation to likely developments and the impact on the operations of the Group has not been included in this report,
as the directors believe it would result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.
Whilst it is expected that delays will continue to occur, it is not expected that the Group will experience direct material financial
impacts on its results should the COVID-19 pandemic continue without resolution in the short to medium term.

Directors’ Report
For the Year Ended 30 June 2020
REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED
This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2020 outlines the remuneration arrangements of the Group in accordance with
the requirements of Corporations Act 2001 (the Act) and its regulations. This information has been audited as required by Section
308(3C) of the Act.
The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel (KMP) who are defined as those
persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or
indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent.
For the purposes of this report, the term “executive” includes the Managing Director (MD), executive directors (where applicable)
and senior executives of the Group.
A.
Remuneration Governance
The Board of Directors has established a Committee for the purpose of reviewing and making recommendations with respect to the
remuneration practices of the Company.
The Committee comprises Mr Alex Ko (Chairperson of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee), Mr Bill Hayden and Ms Alice
Wong; all of whom are non-executive directors.
The Board of Directors has prepared and approved a charter as the basis on which the Committee will be constituted and operated.
The role of the Committee is to provide a mechanism for the determination, implementation and assessment of the remuneration
practices of the Company, including remuneration packages and incentive schemes for executive Directors and senior management,
and fees payable to Non-Executive Directors.
The Committee is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:
➢
➢
➢
➢
the overarching executive remuneration framework;
the operation of incentive plans (if any) which apply to the executive team, including key performance indicators and
performance hurdles;
the remuneration levels of executive directors and other KMP; and
the fees payable to non-executive directors.
The Committee’s objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive, and aligned with the long-
term interests of the Group.
The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of the Remuneration Committee.
B.
Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of Globe Metals & Mining Limited and its Controlled Entities has been designed to align Director and
executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an
annual basis in line with market rates and offering specific incentives, from time to time, that are based on share price and key
performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results.
The Board of Directors of Globe believes the remuneration policy is appropriate and effective in its ability to attract, retain and
motivate suitably qualified and experienced Directors and executives to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence
between the Directors, executives and the Company’s shareholders.
C.
Remuneration Arrangements
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation (in
accordance with relevant legislation). Executive remuneration may also incorporate a component of performance-based
remuneration.
The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance and comparable
information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
Non-executive directors are remunerated at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The
Board determines payments to non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties
and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid
to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently $600,000).
The Board of Directors may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options.
All remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options are independently
valued by corporate advisers using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and Monte Carlo option pricing model. Shares are valued
at market value.

D.
Performance Based Remuneration
The Company believes that linking the remuneration of Directors and executives with performance will be effective in increasing
shareholder wealth.
From time to time, the Board of Directors may establish performance targets and a bonus system for the purposes of providing
directors and executives with short-term and long-term performance incentives. Such incentives are offered to increase goal
congruence between shareholders and directors and executives.
There are currently no incentive programs in place for financial years ended 30 June 2021 and beyond.

Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM)
At the Company’s 2019 AGM, a resolution to adopt the prior year remuneration report was put to a shareholder vote pursuant to
the requirements of Section 250R92) of the Corporations Act 2001. Key Management Personnel, and their Closely Related Party(s),
were excluded from voting on the resolution. 96.97% of votes were cast against adoption of the resolution reflecting a second
successive strike, and hence, a spill resolution was put to shareholders at the Company’s 2019 AGM. The spill resolution was passed
at the Company’s 2019 AGM resulting in a requirement to call a spill meeting.
A spill meeting was held on 30 January 2020 at which all directorships were vacated as required, with the exception of the Managing
Director, and resolutions were put to shareholders appoint persons as directors as per the notice of meeting. The shareholders of
the Company voted to return all of the directors who had been required to vacate office and no new directors were appointed. Given
that the spill meeting resulted in all existing Directors being re-elected and no new Directors nominating, and in the absence of any
feedback being received from shareholders despite request from the Company, the Board has taken no further action.
No comments were made on the remuneration report at the 2019 AGM or at the 2020 Spill Meeting.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2020
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with
a resolution of directors on 29 September 2020.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The
accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. This financial report includes the consolidated financial
statements and notes of Globe Metals & Mining Limited (‘Globe’ or ‘the Company’) and its controlled entities (‘Consolidated Entity’
or ‘Group’). Globe is a for-profit entity.
a.
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards,
Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB)
and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for profit-oriented entities.
(i) Compliance with IFRS
The financial report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited and controlled entities complies with Australian Accounting Standards,
which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘AIFRS’). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that
the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, also complies with International Financial Reporting
Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
(ii) New and amended standards adopted by the group
None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning
1 July 2019 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current year or any prior year.
(iii) Historical Cost Convention
The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments at fair value
through other comprehensive income which is measured at fair value.
(iv) Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to
exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of
judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in
note 3.
b.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2020. Control
is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability
to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:
➢ Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
➢ Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
➢ The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group
has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in
assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
➢ The contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee
➢ Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
➢ The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or
more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and
ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed
of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the
Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest
and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognised
at fair value.
c.
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,
as been identified as the board of directors.

d.
Foreign Currency Translation
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which
that entity operates, currently being the Australian Dollar for each of the entities. The consolidated financial statements are
presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at
historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value
are reported at the exchange rate at the date when the fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation
of monetary items are recognised in profit and loss for the year, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net
investment hedge.
e.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised in accordance with AASB 15, which establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts
with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to
be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues at an effective interest rate.
f.
Reserves
The reserve represents the gains and losses of investments at fair value through other comprehensive income.
g.
Income Tax
Current Tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax
loss for the year. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date.
Current tax for current and prior years is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the
extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused
tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences
giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which
affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected
to apply to the year(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the
tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Consolidated Entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or
settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and Deferred Taxation
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when it relates
to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises
from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or
excess. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse
change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income
to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
h.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with
an original maturity of three months or less.
For the purposes of the Statement Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net
of outstanding bank overdrafts.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
i.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
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 Consolidated Entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised
in the statement of comprehensive income.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights 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.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in
relation to that 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 from
exploration and evaluation expenditure to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment and
depreciated over the life of the mine.
Impairment
Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when any of the following facts and circumstances exists:
-
the term of the exploration licence in the specific area of interest has expired during the reporting year or will expire in the near
future, and is not expected to be renewed;
substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area are not budgeted nor
planned;
-
- exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area of interest have not led to the discovery of commercially
viable quantities of mineral resources and the decision was made to discontinue such activities in the specific area of interest; or
sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in the specific area of interest is likely to proceed, the carrying
amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
-
Where a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each cash generating unit (“CGU”) which is no larger than
the area of interest. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
j.
Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement
Financial Assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends
on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception
of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient,
the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or
loss, transaction costs. In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured as amortised cost, it needs to give rise to cash flows
that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the
SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for
which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under AASB 15.
The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows.
The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or
both.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
-
-
-
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)
Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity
instruments)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
This is the category of financial asset that is applicable to the Group. The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both
of the following conditions are met:
-
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash
flows and;
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2020
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes cash, short-term deposits and trade and other receivables.
Financial assets designed at fair value through OCI (equity instruments).
This is the category of financial asset that is applicable to the Group. Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify
irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of
equity under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an
instrument-by-instrument basis.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as other income in the
statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as
a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at
fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment. The Group’s financial assets designed at fair value through OCI
includes its equity investments under this category.
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised
(i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:
-
-
the Group has transferred has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the
received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group
has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it
evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the
transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The
transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has
retained. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the
original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or
loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows
that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will
include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-
month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss
allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a
lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not
track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has
established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to
the debtors and the economic environment.
Financial Liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, payables as
appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of payables, net of directly attributable
transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities only include trade and other payables.
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part
of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. This category applies to trade and other
payables.

For the Year Ended 30 June 2020

k.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
The depreciable amount of all Motor vehicle and Leasehold assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.
Plant and equipment, Furniture and fittings and Software assets are depreciated using the diminishing value method. The
depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets vary from 3% to 40% with the average rate being 30%.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of
comprehensive income.
The carrying amounts of plant and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or
cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell.
l.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) where, as a result of a past event, it is
probable that an outlay of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement
is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is
presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-
tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
m.
Employee Benefits
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled
within 12 months after the end of the year in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’
services up to the end of the reporting year and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
The liability for annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations
are presented as payables.
Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the year in
which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present
value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting year using
the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee
departures and years of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting year on
high quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The
obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer
settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
Equity Settled Compensation
The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions,
whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity-settled transaction”).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are
granted. The fair value is determined by a valuation by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the year in which the
performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award
(“vesting date”).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to
which the vesting year has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will ultimately
vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at reporting date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of
market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant
date.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been
modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as
measured at the date of modification.

For the Year Ended 30 June 2020
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet
recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated
as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the
original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
n.
Contributed Equity
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.
Where any group company purchases the company’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back or a share-
based payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted
from equity attributable to the owners as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued.
Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental
transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners.
o.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-
- by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in
the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares
ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
-
after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and
- weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares.
p.
Goods and Services Tax and other Value Added Taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and other Value Added Taxes
(VAT), except where the amount of GST or VAT incurred is not recoverable from the applicable taxation authority. In these
circumstances, the GST and VAT are 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 statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST and VAT.
The net amount of GST or VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the
statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flow on a gross basis. The GST and VAT components of cash flows arising from
investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authorities are classified as operating cash
flows.
q.
Rounding of amounts
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in financial/Directors’ report) Instrument 2016/191. Therefore,
amounts in the directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.

s.
Changes in accounting policies and disclosure
New and amended standards and interpretations
The Group applied AASB 16 Leases and AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment for the first time. The nature
and effect of this new accounting standard and interpretation are described below.
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time as of 1 July 2019, but do not have an impact on the
consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any standards, interpretations or amendments that
have been issued but are not yet effective.
AASB 16 Leases (“AASB 16”)
The application date of AASB 16 for the Group was 1 July 2019. AASB 16 was issued in January 2016 and it replaces AASB 117 Leases
("AASB l 17"), AASB Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease ("AASB Interpretation 4"), AASB
Interpretation-1 15 Operating Leases-Incentives ("AASB Interpretation 1 15") and AASB Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance
of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease ("AASB Interpretation 127"). AASB 16 sets out the principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet
model similar to the accounting for finance leases under AASB 117. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees -
leases of 'low-value' assets and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the commencement date of
a lease, a lessee recognises a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the
underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees are required to separately recognise the interest expense
on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.
The Group adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 July 2019.
At the transition date, the Group assessed all contracts including those which had assets embedded in it for leases under AASB 16.
The Group elected to use the practical expedient approach for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term
of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option ("short-term leases").
Adoption of AASB 16 did not have an impact for the year ended 30 June 2020 as the Group's leases had a lease term of shorter than
12 months or were leases of ‘low-value’ assets.
AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment (“AASB Interpretation 23”)
The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application
of AASB 112 Income Taxes. It does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of AASB 112, nor does it specifically include
requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments.
The Interpretation specifically addresses the following:
• Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately
• The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities
• How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates
• How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances
An entity has to determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain
tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty needs to be followed.
The Group assessed whether the Interpretation had an impact on its consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption of the
Interpretation, the Group concluded that there were no uncertain tax positions and therefore the interpretation does not have an
impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 30 June 2020.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
t.
Changes in accounting policies and disclosure
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those applied by the Group in the preparation of the annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020, other than the adoption of additional accounting policies set out below:
Leases
(i) Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for
use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-
measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs
incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is
reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term (where the entity does not have a
purchase option at the end of the lease term). Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
(ii) Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to
be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual
value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the
Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The
variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the year on which the event or
condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date
if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the
lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the
lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
(iii) Short-term leases and Low Value Assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of their Office Spaces (i.e., those leases that
have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease
of low-value assets recognition exemption (i.e. below $5,000). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Standards issued but not yet effective
Amendments to AASB 101 and AASB 108: Definition of Material
In October 2018, the AASB issued amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 108 Accounting Policies,
Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to align the definition of ‘material’ across the standards and to clarify certain aspects of
the definition. The new definition states that, ’Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be
expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial
statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.’ The amendments to the definition of material is
not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise of cash. The Group also has other financial instruments such as trade and other
receivables and creditors, which arise directly from its operations, and investments at fair value through other comprehensive
income.
Capital Risk Management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns
for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends, return capital to shareholders,
issue/buy-back shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to
the current parent entity’s share price at the time of investment. The Group is not currently pursuing additional investments in the
short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments and the Group’s policies for managing these risks are summarised
below:
Interest Rate Risk
The Group does not have short or long-term cash deposits or debt, and therefore this risk is minimal. An analysis by maturities is
provided in (i) below.
Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The
Group entity has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other
security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
The credit risk on financial assets of the Group is reflected in those assets' carrying amount net of any provisions for impairment.
The Group currently holds majority of its cash and cash equivalents with National Australia Bank with a credit rating of Aa3. The
Group believes the credit risk exposure is negligible given the strong credit rating of the counterparty.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies
other than the Group’s functional currency. The majority of expenses incurred are in AUD and therefore risk is not significant.
Monetary assets and liabilities of the Group denominated in foreign currencies are not material to the Group.
Concentration risk
The parent entity is exposed to concentration risk due to 87% of its cash and cash equivalents being held within the one financial
institution – National Australia Bank. The Group manages this risk through monitoring of the credit rating of the institution.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate short-term cash facilities are
maintained. At the end of the year the group held deposits at call of $5.182 million (2019: $7.387 million) which are expected to
readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.
Interest rate and liquidity risk exposures

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and
financial liabilities is set out in the following table:

Sensitivity analysis
The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis in relation to interest income and movements in interest rates on financial assets
and liabilities. The analysis highlights the effect on the current year’s pre-tax loss which would have resulted from movement in
interest rates with all other variables remaining constant.

Fair value hierarchy
All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows:
➢
➢
➢
Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly
or indirectly observable
Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements is
unobservable
For all asset and liabilities that are recognised at fair value on recurring basis, the group determines whether transfers have occurred
between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting year.
The valuation of investments at fair value through other comprehensive income are based on the equity share price in the listed
stock exchange (Level one fair value hierarchy).

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements and estimates relating to the carrying amounts
of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates made. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis.
The key estimates and assumptions as have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain
assets and liabilities within the next accounting year are:
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
(i)
The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in expenditure being capitalised for an area of
interest where it is considered likely to be recoverable by future exploitation or sale or where the activities have not reached a stage
which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. This policy requires management to make certain estimates as
to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any such
estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the expenditure under the
policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to profit
and loss. Refer to note 12 for details of the judgement applied in the current year in relation to exploration and evaluation
expenditure.
Income taxes
(ii)
Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial
position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from temporary differences, are recognised only when it is considered more
likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of future assessable income of a nature and of
an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised. Refer to note 7 for details of the judgement applied in the current year
in relation to income taxes.
Tax provisions
(iii)
Judgement is required in calculating tax provisions relating to potential tax obligations in foreign jurisdictions where the
legislation and case law is not established. Tax provisions are recognised when it is considered more likely than not that an
amount will be payable. Refer to note 14 for details of the judgement applied in the current year in relation to tax provisions.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of
Directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
The Group has two reportable segments which are based on the stage of development of its projects, which are broadly in either
of two groups: those in the exploration phase or those in the evaluation stage. Unallocated results, assets and liabilities represent
corporate amounts that are not core to the reportable segments.
Prior year information may be restated to reflect the current composition of reportable segments.
Activity by segment
Africa-Kanyika
The Africa-Kanyika segment includes the Kanyika Niobium Project in Malawi which comprises AML0026 and which is host to a
2012 JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate of 68.3Mt @ 2,830ppm Nb2O5 (niobium pentoxide) and 135ppm Ta5O5 (tantalum
pentoxide) at a 1,500 ppm Nb2O5 cut-off.
The Kanyika Niobium Project is currently at the evaluation stage.
Africa-Exploration
The Africa-Exploration segment includes the exploration prospecting licence EPL0421/15 which lies adjacent to AML0026.
Limited early-stage exploration activity has been conducted on EPL0421/15 with no mineral resources having been defined; as
such it is at the exploration stage:

Kanyika Niobium Project
The Directors have considered the requirements of AASB 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, and have reviewed
the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditures that relate to the Kanyika Niobium Project. Based on the review, the
directors consider the carrying value of the Kanyika Niobium Project is supported by the anticipated future value. Furthermore, there
are no indications that the carrying value of the Kanyika Niobium Project was impaired at 30 June 2020.
Other
The value of the Group’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:
-
-
-
-
the continuance of the consolidated entity’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
the results of future exploration; and
the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their
sale.
no significant changes in laws and regulations that greatly impact the company’s ability to maintain tenure.
The Group’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to
indigenous people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions,
mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, there has not been any material claims made to the Group.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The Kanyika Project status remains such that the Government of Malawi has agreed to issue a mining licence, subject to the execution
of a Development Agreement. Whilst the COVID-19 pandemic has caused delay to the finalisation and execution of the Development
Agreement it will not ultimately prevent execution of the Development Agreement and nor has it caused any direct material financial
effect on the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure.

The Group’s wholly owned subsidiary companies in Malawi were successful in having prior year assessments with respect to value
added-tax and non-residents tax reversed based on legal argument, with Globe accepting liability for a minor portion. The Malawi
Revenue Authority has provided confirmation in writing that the amount outstanding at year end is nil and that there are no further
amounts claimed. Accordingly, the provision has been reduced to nil.

(a) Management of Share Capital
The Directors primary objectivity is to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Group. At
reporting date, the Group has no external borrowings.
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Capital Risk Management
The consolidated entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost
of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends, return capital to
shareholders, issue/buy-back shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding
relative to the current parent entity’s share price at the time of investment. The consolidated entity is not currently pursuing
additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2019 annual report.
(b)
Terms of Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of shares held
and in proportion to the amount paid up on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value.
At shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote in proportion to the paid up amount of the share when a poll is
called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.
At the end of reporting year, there are 465,922,373 shares on issue.
(c)
Terms of Options
At the end of reporting year, there were no options over unissued shares.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Globe Metals & Mining
Limited
Report on the audit of the financial report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited (the Company) and its
subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income,
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year
then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies,
and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
a. giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2020
and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
b. complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit
addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of

material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the
procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the
accompanying financial report.
Carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation
Why significant
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
As disclosed in Note 12 to the financial report, the
carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets
amounting to $28,349,000 is significant and
subjective as it is based on the Group’s ability and
intention, to continue to explore the asset. The
carrying value is also impacted by the results of
exploration work. This creates a risk that the
amounts stated in the consolidated financial
statements may not be recoverable. However,
Management have concluded there were no
impairment indicators that existed at 30 June 2020.
We evaluated the Group’s assessment of the carrying
value of exploration and evaluation assets. Our audit
procedures included the following:
► Considered the Group’s right to explore in the
relevant exploration area which included
obtaining and assessing supporting
documentation such as licence agreements.
► Considered the Group’s intention to carry out
exploration and evaluation activity in the relevant
exploration area which included assessment of
the Group’s cash-flow forecast models, as well as
enquiries with senior management and Directors
as to the intentions and strategy of the Group.
► Examined the Group’s analysis of the commercial
viability of results relating to exploration and
evaluation activities carried out in the relevant
licenced area to determine if anything has come
to our attention that indicates that they are not
viable.
► Assessed the ability to finance any planned future
exploration and evaluation activity.
► Engaged internal valuation specialists to assess
the recoverable amount of the exploration and
evaluation assets at 30 June 2020.
► Evaluated the competence, capabilities and
objectivity of management’s specialists, obtained
an understanding of the work performed by
management’s specialist, and evaluated the
appropriateness of work performed. Management
specialists were engaged to provide valuations,
reviews and mineral resource estimates of the
Kanyika project.
► Assessed the adequacy of the disclosure in Note
12 to the financial report.
Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report, 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, with the exception of the Remuneration Report
and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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
judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

•
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in
our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up
to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to
cease to continue as a going concern.
•
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
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, actions
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year 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.
