LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS   

Dear Shareholders, 

On behalf of the Board of Gold Mountain Limited, I am pleased to present to you our Annual Report for the year 
to 30 June 2022. 

During the 2022 financial year the Company continued to face significant operational challenges due to Covid-
19 along with the less that favourable market conditions impacting the Company in the later part of the year. I 
am very pleased to advise that despite the above, the Company managed to advance the exploration programs 
to a stage never achieved previously, with the potential for a significant discovery at Mt Wipi becoming a real 
possibility after receiving very encouraging channel samples containing highly anomalous copper values at Mt 
Wipi.   

During the year, the company maintained the regional exploration programs and commenced with drill testing 
the  Mt  Wipi  copper-gold  porphyry  and  copper-gold  skarn  prospect.  Five  diamond  drill  holes  totalling 
approximately  1,500m  were  drilled  at  Mt  Wipi  with  all  the  holes  intersecting  elevated  copper  and  gold 
mineralisation, highlighting the prospectivity of the area. Subsequent  remodelling to airborne magnetic data 
identified two strong areas of magnetic anomalism north of the drilled area which are postulated to be buried 
porphyry intrusive. Subsequent channel sampling in the areas adjacent to these magnetic anomalies returned 
GMN’s best copper intercepts to date from trenches further enhancing the potential of the area. GMN intends 
to drill these exciting targets in the coming year in the belief that the company is getting close to a possible 
discovery. 

In addition to the highly prospective Mt Wipi Project, Rock chip sampling in EL’s 2306 (Monoyal & Lombokai 

Creek) and 1966 (Sak Creek) returned copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, and zinc vales to 13.76% Cu, 37.3g/t 

Au, 343g/t Ag, 478ppm Mo and 20.93% Zn respectively, further emphasising the potential of the area to host a 

significant deposit and provides GMN with multiple targets to follow up in the coming year.  

In the 2023 financial year, the company will continue exploration within its Wabag tenements with the primary 
focus being Mt Wipi, with the aim to continue to focus on the review and the establishing of the targeted drilling 
program. In addition, we will continue to evaluate a range of diversification opportunities in Australia and abroad 
as we recognise that opportunities for value-added acquisitions, farm-ins or mergers could de-risk investment 
and provide additional value creation for our shareholders. 

I extend my thanks to those shareholders that have continued to help fund the Company throughout the year 
and in recent capital raises.  

I would also like to thank my fellow directors Syed Hizam Alsagoff, Pay Chuan (Paul) Lim and Steven Larkins for 
their continued support and encouragement in setting the Company on an exciting pathway to success.  

To all shareholders of the Company, I thank you for your support and I genuinely believe Gold Mountain Limited 
is well positioned to capitalise on significant exploration results.

Operations 

Gold Mountain is an exploration company operating in Australia and Papua New Guinea to acquire, explore and develop areas that are highly 
prospective for gold and other precious and base metals and minerals. 

The Company creates value for shareholders, through exploration activities which develop and quantify mineral assets. Once an asset has been 
developed and quantified within the framework of the JORC guidelines the Company may elect to move to production, to extract and refine ore 
which will then be available for sale as a primary product.

Financial Performance 

The net loss after tax of the Company for the financial year after tax amounted to $18,072,128 (2021: Loss $1,394,982).  

The  Company  is  creating  value  for  shareholders  through  its  exploration  expenditure  and  currently  has  no  revenue  generating  operations. 
Revenue and financial income are generated from interest income from funds held on deposit and miscellaneous income. As the average funds 
held on deposit and prevailing low interest on deposits have decreased during the year, accordingly interest income has further decreased from 
$946 to $779 when compared to the prior year. The Company also received $5,000 as rental income in FY 2022 (FY 2021: $55,685) from sub-
leasing unused office space at its Sydney CBD office.  

During  the  year,  the  operations  relating  to  the  Papua  New  Guinea  gold  project  continued  and  expanded  as  the  Company  undertook  its 
exploration program, accordingly, deferred exploration expenditure decreased from $21,868,365 at 30 June 2021 FY to $9,132,679 at 30 June 
2022 after taking into account impairment of assets. 

Personnel and external consulting requirements and legal and professional costs have decreased in FY 2022 to $192,492 (FY 2021 $218,721).  
There was an increase in public and investor relations expense from $117,973 in the 2021 FY to $204,955 in the FY 2022.

Financial Position 

The  carrying  value  of  the  exploration  assets  and  the  capitalised  exploration  assets  decreased  by  $12,735,686  or  20%  to  $9,132,679  (2021: 
21,868,365) after adjusting for impairments for relinquished tenements.  

The 30 June 2022 financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal business activities 
and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  For the year ended 30 June 2022, the Company 
recorded a loss after tax of $18,072,128 (2020: Loss $1,394,982) and had a net working capital surplus of $448,571 (30 June 2021: deficit of 
$444,766).  

As the Company is an exploration and development entity, ongoing exploration and development activities are reliant on future capital raisings. 
Based on these facts, the Directors consider the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate for this financial report. 

(iii)  

Business Strategies and Prospects for future financial years 

The Company actively evaluates the prospects of each project as results from each program become available, these results are available via the 
ASX platform for shareholders information. The Company then assesses the continued exploration expenditure and further asset development. 
The Company will continue the evaluation of its mineral projects in the future and undertake generative work to identify and acquire new resource 
projects. 

There are specific risks associated with the activities of the Company and general risks which are largely beyond the control of the Company and 
the Directors. The risks identified below, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the future financial performance of the Company and 
the market price of the Company’s shares. 

a)  

Operating Risks 

The operations of the  Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure  to achieve 
predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, sovereign risk difficulties in commissioning 
and operating plant and equipment,  mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may  affect extraction 
costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs 
of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. 

b)  

Environmental Risks 

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to the laws and regulations of Australia and Papua New Guinea concerning 
the  environment.  As  with  most  exploration  projects  and  mining  operations,  the  Company’s  activities  are  expected  to  have  an  impact  on  the 
environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the  Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the 
highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. 

c)  

Economic 

General  economic  conditions,  movements  in  interest  and  inflation  rates  and  currency  exchange  rates  may  have  an  adverse  effect  on  the 
Company’s exploration, development, and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. 

d)  

Market conditions 

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share 
market conditions are affected by many factors such as: 

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

(iv) 

(v) 

(vi) 

general economic outlook; 

introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; 

interest rates and inflation rates; 

changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; 

the demand for, and supply of, capital; and 

terrorism or other hostilities. 

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in 
general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or 
any return on an investment in the Company. 

e)  

Additional requirements for capital 

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income, the Company will 
require  further financing. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on 

GOLD MOUNTAIN LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 

10 

 
 
 
 
financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its 
operations and scale back its exploration programs. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding 
or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company. 

f)  

Speculative investment 

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above 
factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value 
of  the  Company’s  shares.  Potential  investors  should  consider  that  the  investment  in  the  Company  is  speculative  and  should  consult  their 
professional advisers before deciding whether to invest.

 Review of Operations 

Wabag Project - Papua New Guinea (PNG) 

During the reporting period the Company continued exploration at its Wabag Project in Papua New Guinea. Exploration activity was primarily 
focused exploring for porphyry copper – gold and molybdenum mineralisation, and related skarn style mineralisation. Most of the exploration 
work undertaken at the Wabag project over the last year was at Monoyal on EL2306 where the company drilled  four holes into a potential 
porphyry copper deposits and at the recently granted Mt Wipi tenement (EL2632) which is highly prospective for both porphyry copper – gold 
deposits and associated skarn mineralisation.  

Mt Wipi Drilling Program (EL2632) 

Drilling commenced at Mt Wipi in August 2021, with four holes (MWD001 to MWD004) for approximately 1,110m having been completed by 
the end of December. The fifth hole (MWD005) for 470m was completed in early February. 

The drill hole parameters for the Mt Wipi program are detailed in Table 1 and the drill hole locations are shown in Figure 1.

MWD001 to MWD003 were drilled to test a distinct copper + molybdenum and gold in soil anomaly1.  

FIGURE 1: MT WIPI PROSPECT DRILL HOLE LOCATION MAP 

All five holes drilled either intersected skarn or porphyry style mineralisation with anomalous copper and gold values recorded in all of the holes.  

MWD001 recorded an 8m section which averaged 0.20% Cu from 69m. Gold assays were above detection limits in the top 110m of the hole, 
ranging from 0.05 to 0.086g/t Au indicating the system has been subjected to mineralising fluids. 

MWD002 intersected anomalous copper ranging up to 407ppm Cu, with the entire hole averaging 142ppm copper. Gold to 0.30g/t was recorded 
in a 1m interval from 74m, and moderately anomalous silver recorded, i.e. 14m @ 6.14g/t from 2m. 

MWD003 intersected 12 veins or mineralised structures in the top 134m of the hole which contained over 0.10 g/t Au, with the best intersects 
being:  2m @ 2.27 g/t Au from 34m, 2m @ 1.79 g/t Au from 52m and 2m @ 3.34 g/t Au from 115m and MWD004 intersected 18m @ 0.21 g/t 
Au from 240m.   

 MWD005 was drilled to test the down dip extensions of two wide zones of anomalous copper and gold intersected in trench MWTR0032, ( i.e. 
37m @ 0.25% Cu, 0.24g/t Au, and 5.4g/t Ag from 6m, which includes a 22m zone from 9m which assayed 0.32% Cu, 0.38g/t Au, and 7.7g/t Ag 
and 62m @ 0.18% Cu, 0.20g/t Au, and 4.65g/t Ag from 145m, which includes a 26m zone from 145m which assays 0.29g/t Au, 0.28% Cu and 
6.7g/t Ag.  MWD005 intersected strongly altered calc-silicates with trace  to 1% chalcopyrite in  places and the hole is strongly silicified and 
fractured and contains trace to 3% pyrite.  

The gold assay results from MWD005 returned 8 assays over 0.10g/t Au with a high of 11.7g/t Au from 144m to 145m, Figure 2. These higher 
gold values are associated with stronger fracturing of the rock and with localised alteration and bleaching indicating that the gold is possible 
structurally controlled. In addition to the eight assays, an additional 70 samples recorded values over the detection limited for gold possibly 
indicating that the area adjacent to MWD005 has been subjected to gold bearing mineralised fluids. A list of the gold values which assayed over 
0.10g/t Au are included in Table 2.

Reconnaissance Mapping  

Further exploration undertaken concurrently with the maiden drilling program has continued to grow the prospective footprint at Mt Wipi, with 
additional skarns and potential porphyry intrusives identified at the Kandum, Pully and Anwan Creek prospects3 (Figure 3).  Exploration work 
in the next six months will involve additional mapping and rock chip sampling at these three prospects with the aim to identify high quality drill 
targets.

Trenching Program 

FIGURE 5. 3D MODEL OF THE KANDUM MAGNETIC FEATURE 

In June 2022, the Company announced the results from three trenches which were excavated within the Kandum – Pully area (Mt Wipi prospect). 
Results from the trenches have confirmed that this area is prospective for porphyry style mineralisation with these latest results increasing the 
Company’s confidence that the Kandum – Pully area could host a significant porphyry copper-gold deposit. 

All three trenches intersected copper mineralisation over 0.10% Cu, with the best intercept being recorded in MWTR008 which intersected 52m 
at 0.32% Cu (from 0 to 52m) including a higher-grade intercept of 17m @ 0.54% Cu from 28m. The mineralisation is disseminated evenly 
throughout the exposed outcrop which is evident by the consistent copper assay values. 

Trench locations are presented in Figure 6 and a table of significant intercepts is presented in Table 3 below.

Trench MWTR008 was excavated on the eastern bank of Lombali Creek, which drains the central western area of the Kandum – Pully prospect 
close  to  the  vertical  extrapolation  of  the  magnetic  low  anomaly  at  Pully  which  has  been  postulated  to  be  a  potential  porphyry  intrusive4. 
MWTR008 exposed a 52m zone of highly fractured and bleached clay with chalcocite-malachite mineralisation in structures. The alteration and 
mineralisation observed could represent the mineralised phyllic zone of a porphyry system, photographs of material exposed by MWTR008 are 
included in Figure 7. Although mineralisation was open at both ends of MWTR008, it could not be extended along strike due to thick colluvium 
(overburden) covering the hillside.   

Upstream of the “phyllic zone” seen in MWTR008 an overlying limestone unit in which chalcopyrite in fractures (to 1% Chalcopyrite) and as 
veinlets has been observed and mapped in trench MWTR009, indicating the possibility of skarn mineralisation on the contact zone between an 
intrusive and the carbonaceous limestones.

New Project Opportunities 

Consistent with Gold Mountain’s ongoing strategy of continually reviewing new minerals project opportunities across copper,  gold and battery 
minerals, the Company has been undertaking advanced due diligence on several prospective projects.  

The Company believes that diversifying its commodity focus and/or jurisdictions will provide greater return to shareholders, including providing the 
Company with exposure to the growth in demand for minerals in the battery minerals and EV sectors. 

Risk management 

Details of the Company’s Risk Management policies are contained within the Corporate Governance Statement.  

Corporate Governance 

A statement disclosing the extent to which the Company has followed the best practice recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance 
Council during the period is displayed on the Company’s website.  

Subsequent events after balance date 

On 4 July 2022, the Company advised that 23,411,924 unlisted options exercisable at $0.146 each have expired unexercised on 3 July 2022. 

On 19 September 2022, the Company announced the proposed acquisition of up to a 75% interest in 4 lithium projects in north-eastern Brazil, 
covering ~285km2 from Mars Mines Limited, an unrelated third party. The Proposed Transaction is subject to shareholder approval, to be sought 
at the Company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration 

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

Each Director is entitled to such remuneration from the Company as the Directors decide, but the total amount provided to all non-executive 
directors must not exceed in aggregate the amount fixed by the Company in a general meeting. The aggregate remuneration for all non-executive 
directors has been set at an amount of $300,000 per annum. 

The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general 
meeting.  

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is 
reviewed annually.  The Board considers advice from external shareholders as well as the fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable 
companies when undertaking the annual review process. 

Each Director is entitled to receive a fee for being a Director of the Company.  

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 30 June 2022 is detailed in the Remuneration of Directors and named executives 
section of this report on the following pages of this report.  

Senior Manager and Executive Director Remuneration 

Remuneration consists of fixed remuneration and Company options (as determined from time to time). In addition to the Company employees 
and Directors, the Company has contracted key consultants on a contractual basis. These contracts stipulate the remuneration to be paid to the 
consultants. 

Fixed Remuneration 

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Independent Directors’ Committee (which assumes the role of the Remuneration Committee). 
The process consists of a review of relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on 
policies and practices. The Committee has access to external, independent advice where necessary. 

Fixed remuneration is paid in the form of cash payments. 

The fixed remuneration component of the five most highly remunerated Company executives is detailed in Table 1.1 & 1.2.

Other Key Management Personnel Transactions 

The Company has established the Gold Mountain Limited Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) and a summary of the terms and conditions of the 
Plan are set out below:  

i. 

ii. 

iii. 

iv. 

v. 

vi. 

All employees (full time and part time) will be eligible to participate in the Plan.  

Options are granted under the Plan at the discretion of the board and if permitted by the board, may be issued to an employee’s 
nominee. 

Each option is to subscribe for one ordinary share in the Company and will expire 5 years from its date of issue.  An option is 
exercisable at any time from its date of issue provided all relevant vesting conditions, if applicable, have been met.  Options will 
be issued free.  The exercise price of options will be determined by the board. The total number of shares the subject of options 
issued under the Plan, when aggregated with issues during the previous 5 years pursuant to the Plan and any other employee 
share plan, must not exceed 5% of the Company’s issued share capital.  

If, prior to the expiry date of options, a person ceases to be an employee of the Company for any  reason  other  than  retirement  
at  age  60  or more  (or  such  earlier  age  as  the board  permits),  permanent  disability,  redundancy  or  death,  the  options  
held  by  that person  (or  that  person’s  nominee)  automatically  lapse  on  the  first  to  occur  of  a)  the expiry of the period of 
30 days from the date  of such occurrence,  and b) the expiry date.  If a  person dies, the  options held by that person will  be 
exercisable by that person’s legal personal representative.  

Options cannot be transferred other than to the legal personal representative of a deceased option holder. 

The Company will not apply for official quotation of any options. 

vii. 

Shares issued because of the exercise of options will rank equally with the Company’s previously issued shares. 

viii. 

Option holders may only participate in new issues of securities by first exercising their options.  

ix. 

x. 

xi. 

Options are granted under the plan for no consideration. 

Each share options converts into one ordinary shares of Gold Mountain Limited. 

20,000,000 performance options under the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan granted to certain directors of exercise price 
$0.15 expiring 31 December 2025 is subject to the vesting condition that the total granted options shall be vested over 3 periods 
of 12 months per period. The unlisted options were issued on 31 December 2020 in which the original exercise price is subject 
to a reduction following the pro-rata entitlement rights issue by $0.0015, amending the new exercise price to $0.146. 

The Board may amend the terms and conditions of the plan subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules. 

There have been no other transactions involving equity instruments other than those described in the tables above. For details of other transactions 
with Key Management Personnel, refer to Note 18: Related Party Disclosures.

In addition, 7 circular resolutions were signed by the Board during the period. 

Auditor Independence 

Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires our auditors to provide the Directors of the Company with an Independence Declaration in 
relation to the audit of the annual report. This Independence Declaration is set out on page 27, and forms part of this Directors’ report for the 
year ended 30 June 2022. 

Non-Audit Services  

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in Note 22 to the 
financial statements. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence 
for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. 

The Directors are of the opinion that the services do not compromise the auditor’s independence as all non-audit services have been reviewed 
to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor and none of the services undermine the general principles relating to 
auditor independence. 

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES 

a. 

Basis of Preparation 

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have 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. 

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing 
relevant and reliable information about transactions, events, and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures 
that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.   Material 
accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied 
unless otherwise stated. 

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the 
measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets, and financial liabilities 

b. 

Comparative Figures 

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current 
financial year. 

When the Company applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial 
statements, financial statements as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed. 

c. 

Principles of consolidation  

Business combinations 

For every business combination, the Company identifies the acquirer, which is the combining entity that obtains control over the other 
combining entities. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed to, 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. In assessing control, the  Company takes into 
consideration potential voting rights that are currently exercisable. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred from the 
acquirer. 

Interests in equity-accounted investees 

The Company’s interests in equity-accounted investees comprise the interest in a joint venture. A joint venture is a joint arrangement, 
whereby the Group and other parties have joint control and have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. The interest in the joint 
venture is accounted for using the equity method. It is recognised initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of 
equity-accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases. 

Joint arrangements 

Under AASB 11, the Company has classified its interests in joint arrangements as either joint operations (if the Group has rights to the 
assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to an arrangement) or joint ventures (if the Group has rights only to the net assets of an 
arrangement). 

When making this assessment, the Company considered the structure of the arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the 
contractual terms of the arrangements and other facts and circumstances. 

The Company did not have any joint arrangements at the start of the financial year.  

d. 

Impairment of Assets 

At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment 
will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out 
on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in 
use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in 
profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (eg in accordance with the revaluation 
model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that Standard. 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

e. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments 
with original maturities of three months or less.  

f. 

Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable 
that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. 

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. 

g. 

Trade and other payables  

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the 
Company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid 
within 30 days of recognition of the liability. 

h. 

Income Tax 

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income). 

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured 
at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. 

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused 
tax losses. 

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items  that are 
recognised outside profit or loss. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the 
liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount 
of the related asset or liability. 

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future 
taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. 

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or 
simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: 
(a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same 
taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous 
realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax 
assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. 

i. 

Exploration and Development Expenditure 

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation 
asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied: 

(i) 

(ii) 

The rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and 

at least one of the following conditions is also met: 

(a)  

(b) 

the  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditures  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  successful  development  and 
exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or 

exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits 
a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant 
operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. 

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, 
trenching,  and  sampling  and  associated  activities  and  an  allocation  of  depreciation  and  amortised  of  assets  used  in  exploration  and 
evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where 
they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an 
exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for 
the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the 
extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to 
the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying 
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years. 

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and 
evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development. 

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the project from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that 
stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and 
rehabilitation of the site in accordance with local laws and regulations and clauses of the permits. Such costs have been determined using 
estimates of future costs, current legal requirements, and technology on an undiscounted basis. 

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is 
uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly, the costs 
have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.  

j. 

Revenue and Other Income 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. When the inflow of consideration is deferred, it is treated 
as the provision of financing and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements.  The 
difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue. 

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). 

k.  

Earnings (Loss) per share 

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

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted for: 

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

costs of servicing equity (other than dividends); 

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

other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary 
shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus 
element. 

l. 

Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable 
from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).   

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or 
payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are 
recoverable from, or  payable to, the ATO are presented  as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to 
suppliers. 

m. 

Plant and Equipment  

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and 
impairment losses. 

Plant and equipment 

GOLD MOUNTAIN LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 

32 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment.  In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying 
amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or 
as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset.  A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when 
impairment indicators are present. 

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from 
these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s 
employment  and  subsequent  disposal.  The  expected  net  cash  flows  have  been  discounted  to  their  present  values  in  determining 
recoverable amounts. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable 
that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other 
repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in 
which they are incurred. 

Depreciation 

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Company commencing 
from the time the asset is held ready for use.  

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset 

Plant and equipment 

Depreciation Rate 

20%-32% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in 
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation 
surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. 

Leases (the Group as lessee) 

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of-use asset and a 
corresponding lease liability is recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short-
term leases (lease with remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense 
on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 

Initially, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at the commencement date. The lease 
payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental 
borrowing rate. 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows: 

– 

– 

– 

– 

– 

– 

fixed lease payments less any lease incentives; 

variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement 
date; 

the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; 

the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; 

lease payments under extension options if lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and  

payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. 

GOLD MOUNTAIN LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 

33 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Subsequently, the lease liability is measured by a reduction to the carrying amount of any payments made and an increase to reflect any 
interest on the lease liability. 

The  right-of-use  assets  is  an  initial  measurement  of  the  corresponding  lease  liability  less  any  incentives  and  initial  direct  costs. 
Subsequently, the measurement is the cost less accumulated depreciation (and impairment if applicable). 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset whichever is the shortest. 

Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to exercise 
a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. 

n. 

Financial Instruments 

Initial recognition and measurement 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. 
For financial assets, this is the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is 
adopted). 

Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument 
is classified "at fair value through profit or loss", in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Where available, 
quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. 

Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component 
or if the practical expedient was applied as specified in AASB 15.63. 

Classification and subsequent measurement 

Financial liabilities 

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at: 

– 

– 

amortised cost; or 

fair value through profit or loss. 

A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit or loss if the financial liability is: 

– 

– 

– 

a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3: Business Combinations applies; 

held for trading; or 

initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss. 

All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense in profit 
or loss over the relevant period. 

The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the financial asset or liability, that is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the 
estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition. 

A financial liability is held for trading if it is: 

– 

– 

– 

incurred for the purpose of repurchasing or repaying in the near term; 

part of a portfolio where there is an actual pattern of short-term profit taking; or 

a derivative financial instrument (except for a derivative that is in a financial guarantee contract or a derivative that is in an 
effective hedging relationship). 

Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated 
hedging relationship. 

The change in fair value of the financial liability attributable to changes in the issuer's credit risk is taken to other comprehensive income 
and is not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Instead, it is transferred to retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial 
liability. 

If taking the change in credit risk in other comprehensive income enlarges or creates an accounting mismatch, then these gains or losses 
should be taken to profit or loss rather than other comprehensive income. 

A financial liability cannot be reclassified. 

Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs 
because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. 

Financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at fair value (and if not designated as at fair value through profit or loss and do not 
arise from a transfer of a financial asset) and subsequently measured at the higher of: 

– 

– 

the amount of loss allowance determined in accordance to AASB 9.3.25.3; and 

the amount initially recognised less accumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the revenue recognition 
policies. 

Financial asset 

Financial assets are subsequently measured at: 

– 

– 

– 

amortised cost; 

fair value through other comprehensive income; or 

fair value through profit or loss 

on the basis of the two primary criteria: 

– 

– 

the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; and 

the business model for managing the financial assets. 

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it meets the following conditions: 

– 

– 

the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual cash flows; and 

the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding on specified dates. 

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets the following conditions: 

– 

– 

the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding on specified dates; and 

the business model for managing the financial asset comprises both contractual cash flows collection and the selling of the 
financial asset. 

By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the conditions of amortised cost and the fair value through other comprehensive 
income's measurement condition are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. 

The Group initially designates a financial instrument as measured at fair value through profit or loss if: 

– 

– 

– 

it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (often referred to as “accounting mismatch”) 
that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases; 

it  is  in  accordance  to  the  documented  risk  management  or  investment  strategy  and  information  about  the  groupings  was 
documented  appropriately,  so  as  the  performance  of  the  financial  liability  that  was  part  of  a  group  of  financial  liabilities  or 
financial assets can be managed and evaluated consistently on a fair value basis; and 

it is a hybrid contract that contains an embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flows otherwise required by the 
contract. 

The initial designation of the financial instruments to measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time option on initial classification 
and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised. 

Equity instruments 

At initial recognition, as long as the equity instrument is not held for trading or is not a contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer 
in a business combination to which AASB 3 applies, the Group made an irrevocable election to measure any subsequent changes in fair 
value of the equity instruments in other comprehensive income, while the dividend revenue received on underlying equity instruments 
investments will still be recognised in profit or loss. 

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised at settlement date in accordance with the Group's 
accounting policy. 

Derecognition 

Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement of financial position. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 

A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (ie when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled, or expires). An exchange 
of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial modification to the terms of a financial 
liability, is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability.

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any 
non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 

Derecognition of financial assets 

A financial asset is derecognised when the holder's contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred in such a way 
that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred. 

All the following criteria need to be satisfied for the derecognition of a financial asset: 

– 

– 

– 

the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred; 

all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and 

the Group no longer controls the asset (ie it has no practical ability to make unilateral decisions to sell the asset to a third party). 

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the 
consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. 

On derecognition of a debt instrument classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss previously 
accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. 

On derecognition of an investment in equity which was elected to be classified under fair value through other comprehensive income, the 
cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred 
to retained earnings. 

Impairment 

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on: 

– 

– 

– 

– 

– 

financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income; 

lease receivables; 

contract assets (eg amount due from customers under contracts); 

loan commitments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss; and 

financial guarantee contracts that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. 

Loss allowance is not recognised for: 

– 

– 

financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; or 

equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. 

Expected credit losses are the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of a financial instrument. A credit loss 
is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due and all cash flows expected to be received, all discounted at the original 
effective interest rate of the financial instrument. 

The Group use the following approaches to impairment, as applicable under AASB 9: 

– 

– 

– 

– 

the general approach; 

the simplified approach; 

the purchased or originated credit impaired approach; and 

low credit risk operational simplification. 

General approach 

Under the general approach, at each reporting period, the Group assessed whether the financial instruments are credit impaired, and if: 

– 

– 

the credit risk of the financial instrument increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measured the loss allowance 
of the financial instruments at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses; and 

there was no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group measured the loss allowance for that financial 
instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. 

Simplified approach 

The simplified approach does not require tracking of changes in credit risk at every reporting period, but instead requires the recognition 
of lifetime expected credit loss at all times. 

This approach is applicable to: 

– 

– 

trade receivables or contract assets that results from transactions that are within the scope of AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts 
with Customers, that contain a significant financing component; and 

lease receivables. 

In measuring the expected credit loss, a provision matrix for trade receivables was used taking into consideration various data to get to 
an expected credit loss (ie diversity of its customer base, appropriate groupings of its historical loss experience, etc). 

GOLD MOUNTAIN LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Purchased or originated credit impaired approach 

For a financial asset that is considered to be credit impaired (not on acquisition or originations), the Group measured any change in its 
lifetime expected credit loss as the difference between the asset’s gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash 
flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Any adjustment is recognised in profit or loss as an impairment 
gain or loss. 

Evidence of credit impairment includes: 

– 

– 

– 

– 

– 

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or borrower; 

a breach of contract (eg default or past due event); 

where a lender has granted to the borrower a concession, due to the borrower's financial difficulty, that the lender would not 
otherwise consider; 

it is probable the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and 

the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because of financial difficulties. 

Low credit risk operational simplification approach 

If a financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the initial reporting date, the Group assumed that the credit risk has not increased 
significantly since initial recognition and, accordingly, can continue to recognise a loss allowance of 12-month expected credit loss. 

In order to make such determination that the financial asset has low credit risk, the Group applied its internal credit risk ratings or other 
methodologies using a globally comparable definition of low credit risk. 

A financial asset is considered to have low credit risk if: 

– 

– 

– 

there is a low risk of default by the borrower; 

the borrower has strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term; and 

adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term, may, but not necessarily, reduce the ability of the 
borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. 

A financial asset is not considered to carry low credit risk merely due to existence of collateral, or because a borrower has a lower risk of 
default than the risk inherent in the financial assets, or lower than the credit risk of the jurisdiction in which it operates. 

Recognition of expected credit losses in financial statements 

At each reporting date, the Group recognised the movement in the loss allowance as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income. 

The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to that asset. 

Assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in 
other comprehensive income. The amount in relation to change in credit risk is transferred from other comprehensive income to profit or 
loss at every reporting period. 

For financial assets that are unrecognised (eg loan commitments yet to be drawn, financial guarantees), a provision for loss allowance is 
created in the statement of financial position to recognise the loss allowance.  

Impairment of Assets 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment 
will  include  considering  external  sources  of  information  and  internal  sources  of  information,  including  dividends  received  from 
subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is 
carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of 
disposal and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is 
recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (eg in 
accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated 
as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard. 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet available for 
use. 

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised 
estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have 
been  determined  had  no  impairment  loss  been  recognised  for  the  asset  (or  cash-generating  unit)  in  prior  years.  A  reversal  of  an 
impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the 
reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Employee Benefits 

Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting 
period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one (1) year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when 
the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one (1) year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future 
cash  outflows  to  be  made  for  those  benefits.  In  determining  the  liability,  consideration  is  given  to  employee  wages  increases  and  the 
probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government 
bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows. 

p. 

Rounding of Amounts 

The parent entity has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100 and accordingly, amounts in the financial statements 
and directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest one dollar ($1).  

q. 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments 

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available 
current  information.  Estimates  assume  a  reasonable  expectation  of  future  events  and  are  based  on  current  trends  and  economic  data, 
obtained both externally and within the Company. 

Key estimates 

(i) 

Impairment 

The Company assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Company 
that  may  be  indicative  of  impairment  triggers.    Recoverable  amounts  of  relevant  assets  are  reassessed  using  value-in-use 
calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.  

Key judgments 

(i) 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure 

The Company capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where 
the activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain 
areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should 
not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded.  

r. 

Going concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the positive cash position. The 
Company’s existing projections show that further funds will be required to be generated, either by capital raisings, sales of assets or other 

 initiatives, to enable the Company to fund its currently planned activities for at least the next twelve months from the date of signing these 
financial statements.  Should new opportunities present that require additional funds the Directors will take action to reprioritise activities, 
dispose of assets and or raise further funds. 

Notwithstanding this issue, accordingly the Directors have prepared the financial statements of the Company on a going concern basis.  In 
arriving at this position, the Directors have considered the following pertinent matter: 

- 

 Australian Accounting Standard, AASB 101 “Accounting Policies”, states that an entity shall prepare financial statements on a going 
concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative but to do 
so.    

In the Directors’ opinion, at the date of signing the financial report, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the matters set out above 
will be achieved and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

s.  

Issued capital  

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

t.  

Segment reporting  

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief 
operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been 
identified as the Board of Directors of Gold Mountain Limited. 

u. 

Associates  

Associates  are  entities  over  which  the  Company  has  significant  influence  but  not  control  or  joint  control.  Investments  in  associates  are 
accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or 
loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the 
statement  of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Company’s share of net  assets of the  associates. Dividends 
received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.  

When the Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term 
receivables, the consolidated entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the 
associate. 

v. 

Joint Ventures  

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. The 
Company’s interest in joint venture entities are accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method of accounting. The Company 
recognises its interest in the assets that it controls and the liabilities that it incurs and the expenses that it incurs and its share of the income 
that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the joint venture, classified according to the nature of the assets, liabilities, income or 
expense. 

Profits or losses on transactions establishing the joint venture entities and transactions with the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of 
the Company’s ownership interest until such time as they are realised by the joint venture entity on consumption or sale, unless they relate 
to an unrealised loss that provides evidence of the impairment of an asset transferred. 

The  Company  discontinues  the  use  of  proportionate  consolidation  from  the  date  on  which  it  ceases  to  have  joint  control  over  a  jointly 
controlled entity. 

w. 

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities  

Equity Instruments 

The fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date. 

Trade and Other Receivables 

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest 
at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes. Due to the short-term nature of other receivables, their carrying 
value is assumed to approximate their fair value. 

Non-Derivative Financial Liabilities 

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, 
discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. 

x. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been 
early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2022. The Company’s assessment of the impact of these new 
or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations are that they will have no material effect.

The Directors’ objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue  as a going concern, so that they may 
continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from the 
2021 financial year. 

The focus of the Company’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet 
exploration programs and corporate overheads. The Company’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated 
operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.  

The Company’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. 

There are no externally imposed capital requirements. 

Management  effectively manages the Company’s capital by assessing the Company’s financial risks and  adjusting its capital structure in 
response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, budgeting and share issues. 

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Company since the prior year.

NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, local money market instruments, short-term investments, accounts 
receivable and payable, loans to and from related parties, bills and leases. The following table details the expected maturities for the Company’s 
non-derivative financial assets. These have been drawn up based on undiscounted contractual maturities of the financial assets including interest 
that will be earned on those assets except where the Company anticipates that the cash flow will occur in a different period.

Financial Risk Management Policies 

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board reviews and agrees policies 
for managing each of these risks as summarised below. The Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) has been delegated responsibility by the Board of 
Directors for, among other issues, monitoring and managing financial risk exposures of the Company. The ARC monitors the Company’s financial 
risk management policies and exposures and approves financial transactions within the scope of its authority. It also reviews the effectiveness of 
internal controls relating to commodity price risk, counterparty credit risk, currency risk, financing risk and interest rate risk. 

The ARC’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the  Company in meeting its financial targets, while minimising potential adverse 
effects on financial performance. Its functions include the review of the use of hedging derivative instruments, credit risk policies and future cash 
flow requirements. 

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management 

The main risks the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate 
risk. This note presents the information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for 
measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. 

a. 

Credit risk 

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that 
could lead to a financial loss to the Company. 

Credit  risk  is  managed  through  the  maintenance  of  procedures  (such  procedures  include  the  utilisation  of  systems  for  the  approval, 
granting  and  renewal  of  credit  limits,  regular  monitoring  of  exposures  against  such  limits  and  monitoring  of  the  financial  stability  of 
significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound 
credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Depending on the division within the Company, credit 
terms are generally 14 to 30 days from the invoice date. 

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating, or in entities that the 
FRMC has otherwise cleared as being financially sound.  Where the Company is unable to ascertain a satisfactory credit risk profile in 
relation to a customer or counterparty, the risk may be further managed through title retention clauses over goods or obtaining security 
by way of personal or commercial guarantees over assets of sufficient value which can be claimed against in the event of any default. 

Credit risk exposures 

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting period excluding the value of any 
collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as 
presented in the statement of financial position.  

The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty or company of counterparties.  Details with 
respect to credit risk of trade and other receivables are provided in Note 7. 

Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be of high credit quality.   

b. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations 
related to financial liabilities. The Company manages this risk through the following mechanisms: 

preparing forward-looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities; 

using derivatives that are only traded in highly liquid markets; 

- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 

monitoring undrawn credit facilities; 
obtaining funding from a variety of sources; 
maintaining a reputable credit profile; 
managing credit risk related to financial assets; 
only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and 
comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets. 

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore 
differ  from  that  disclosed.  The  timing  of  cash  flows  presented  in  the  table  to  settle  financial  liabilities  reflects  the  earliest  contractual 
settlement dates and does not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

c. 

Market risk 

Market  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in  market  prices  such  as  foreign  exchange  rates,  interest  rates  and  equity  prices  will  affect  the 
Company’s income or value of the holdings of financial instruments. The Company is exposed to movements in market interest rates on 
short term deposit. The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the 
liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The Company does not have short or long term debt, and therefore this risk is minimal. 
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have acceptable credit 
ratings. 

d.  

Interest rate risk 

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future 
change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Company is  also exposed to 
earnings volatility on floating rate instruments. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as the Company deposits the bulk of its cash 
reserves in Term Deposits. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between short term and medium-term 
deposits. The Company’s exposures to interest rate on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management 
section of this note. 

Interest rate sensitivity 

At 30 June 2022, the effect on loss and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variable remaining constant would 
be as follows: 

Increase in interest rate by 1%  

Decrease in interest rate by 1%   

Interest rate risk is not material to the Company.
