REVIEW OF OPERATIONS   

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Golden  Mile  Resources  Limited  (ASX:  G88)  (“Golden  Mile”  or  “Company”)  is  a  mineral  exploration 
company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The Company owns a highly prospective suite of 
gold and nickel-cobalt projects in Western Australia (Figure 1). 

The Company’s focus through the 2017-18 Financial Year has been the Quicksilver Nickel-Cobalt discovery in 
the South West Mineral Field, with additional exploration having been undertaken on the Leonora Gold Projects 
in the North Eastern Goldfields, including drilling over the Natasha gold prospect at Ironstone Well. 

Figure 1 – Golden Mile Project Locations 

1. Quicksilver Nickel-Cobalt Project – SW Mineral Field 

The  Quicksilver  Nickel-Cobalt  Project  is  located  in  the  South  West  Mineral  Field  of  Western  Australia.  The 
Project is composed of one granted Exploration Licence (E 70/4641 – 100% Golden Mile) covering 15 kilometres 
of prospective stratigraphy.  

Golden Mile has conducted an extensive exploration program over the southern project area through 2017-18, 
outlining a significant body of near surface oxide nickel-cobalt mineralisation at the Garard’s prospect, whilst 
geophysics (namely electromagnetics) has delineated a number of high priority sulphide targets to be tested 
through the tenement area.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS   

1.1 The Garard’s Prospect 

The Garard’s prospect is located in the southern Quicksilver tenement area and covers over 3 kilometres 
of strike. Previous exploration had highlighted an extensive nickel-cobalt in surface geochemistry which has 
now been systematically drill tested utilising reverse circulation (RC) percussion drilling. 

The RC percussion drilling program has been highly successful and delineated an extensive zone of near 
surface nickel-cobalt mineralisation in the oxide zone of the weathering profile. Better intercepts include

1.2 Sulphide Targets 

Figure 3 – RC percussion drilling at the Quicksilver Ni-Co-Cu Project 

The  presence  of  sulphide,  in  fresh  rock,  was  noted  in  a  number  of  deeper  drill  holes  over  the  Garard’s 
prospect area, hinting a potential deeper sulphide source to the nickel mineralisation at Quicksilver. 

In  response,  expert  nickel  consultants,  Newexco,  were  engaged  to  guide  the  Company’s  exploration 
program. Work throughout the year has focussed upon electromagnetic (EM) surveying (both surface and 
down hole), with much of the tenement area now surveyed.

GOLDEN MILE RESOURCES LIMITED 
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS   

The surface (Moving Loop) EM surveying has delineated targets over more than 12 kilometres of strike 
(Figure 4), with Newexco highlighting four Category One targets for drill testing, namely Anomalies One, 
Five, Six and Seven.  

During the financial year only, the Anomaly One target at Wyatt’s was drill tested, utilising three angle RC 
holes to test over 300 metres of strike. This drilling returned sulphides (with anomalous copper at over 800 
ppm) at the projected target depths (Figure 5). However, subsequent Down Hole EM indicates that the RC 
drilling at Wyatt’s did not adequately test the target, with a significant ‘off hole’ conductor located below the 
existing drilling.  

A program of diamond drilling has been planned for the first quarter of the coming financial year to further 
test the Anomaly One sulphide target. 

Figure 5 – Semi to Massive Sulphide from 200-202 metres downhole in QRC149 

A program of RC and Diamond drilling is being planned and permitted to test the other EM anomalies during 
2018-19. 

The work program at Quicksilver will continue into the 2018-19 financial year and will include: 

 

Infill Drilling (as required) 

  Resource Modelling & Estimation  

  Metallurgical Test Work 

  Drill testing of geophysical targets

2. Minara Nickel-Cobalt Project - Leonora Region, NE Goldfields 

The Minara Nickel-Cobalt project is located approximately 30 kilometres to the east of Leonora, to the northwest 
of Glencore’s Murrin Murrin nickel mine. Minara consists of 3 granted prospecting licences (P 37/8755-8777) 
and one granted exploration licence (E 37/1215). 

Exploration by previous workers has outlined a number of prospects along the Waite Kauri Trend (Figure 6), 
which now require infill drilling to allow the estimation of a JORC 2012 Resource. 

Figure 6 – Minara project with prospect areas and target stratigraphy (purple) 

The work program at Minara presently includes: 

  Detailed evaluation of previous exploration drilling  
  Planning infill and extensional drilling 
  Data compilation and evaluation of the Welcome Well tenement 

The Company looks forward to commencing the field program at Minara during the 2018-19 financial year.

3. Ironstone Well Gold Project - Leonora Region, NE Goldfields 

The Ironstone Well project lies to the immediate northeast of the town of Leonora and is easily accessed via the 
Leonora-Nambi Road. In late 2017 a short program of shallow RC percussion drilling was completed over the 
Natasha prospect, at Ironstone Well (Figure 7). This drilling was designed to test and infill, several phases of 
drilling undertaken by previous workers, some of which had intersected high-grade gold mineralisation. 

Figure 7 – Ironstone Well tenure and prospects over magnetics 

A program of 19 RC percussion holes was completed for 1,227 metres, with several holes intersecting significant 
grades of gold mineralisation, including: 

IRC001  

1 metre @ 2.28 gpt Gold from 19 metres

4. The Monarch Gold Trend - Leonora Region, NE Goldfields 

The Monarch Trend is located in the north of the Leonora East tenure and is an extensive gold trend, featuring 
high-grade gold (in the form of nuggets) and a large number of historical gold workings, most of which have not 
previously been recorded, surveyed or explored utilising modern exploration techniques. 

Figure 8 – Major gold operations, Golden Mile Tenure (Red & Yellow), KIN Mining project outlines (Blue) 
& Monarch Gold Trend Location 

The Monarch Gold Trend covers more than ten kilometres of strike and appears to follow the granite contact of 
the greenstone belt on the eastern side of Golden Mile’s tenure (Figure 8 & 9). The Trend is characterised by 
shearing and faulting carrying significant mineralisation, including high-grade gold in the form of nuggets. 

Golden Mile’s work program over the Monarch Trend, at Leonora East, included: 

  Geological Reconnaissance 

  Surveying of Historical Workings and 

  Prospecting and Sampling

GOLDEN MILE RESOURCES LIMITED 
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS   

The Monarch Trend hosts numerous historic gold workings and small-scale mines (more than 200 recorded 
occurrences), whose operation dates back over 100 years. Many of these workings have NOT previously been 
recognised, mapped or surveyed prior to Golden Mile’s recent work program (Figure 9).  

These workings extend north of ‘Sunspear’ to ‘Fair Chance’ in the south (Figure 9) and include: 

  Sunspear: Extensive historic workings over more than 500 metres of strike, with geochemistry showing 

anomalous gold and platinum group elements – yet to be drill tested. 

  Baratheon: Historic workings and small-scale gold mines over more than 500 metres of strike – yet to 

be drill tested. 

  Royal Harry: Historic gold workings and small-scale mines over more than 700 metres of strike. Recent 
prospecting  around  Royal  Harry,  and  adjacent  workings,  has  unearthed  numerous  gold  nuggets 
(Figure 10), indicating the presence of near surface, high-grade gold within the mineralised system. 

Figure 10 – Gold nuggets recovered from the area south of the ‘Royal Harry’ workings. 

Prospecting through the year has been largely confined to the southern half of the Monarch Gold Trend, with 
detecting  uncovering  more  than  70  gold  nuggets,  of  varying  sizes  and  weights  but  accounting  for  over  an 
ounce of gold, predominantly within the area between the ‘Royal Harry’ and ‘Fair Chance’ workings (Figure 9). 

Historical rock chipping has also returned high-grade results, with samples from the Baratheon and Royal Harry 
prospects routinely returning assays of over an ounce (31 gpt) of gold1. 

The  Monarch  Gold  Trend  remains  largely  untested  by  modern  exploration  methods  with  Golden  Mile’s 
exploration program in 2018-19 directed towards delineating targets for drill testing.

the Board, commencing 23 September 2018.  The Company’s CEO, Tim Putt, resigned from the Board on 22 
September  2018  and  will  remain  at  the  Company  until  23  November  2018  to  transition  the  Company’s 
management.  It was also announced that Dr Koon Lip Choo had resigned from the Board. 

On 24 September 2018 the Company issued 500,000 fully paid ordinary shares, and 750,000 unlisted share 
options  exercisable  at  $0.30  per  option,  expiring  on  24  September  2021.    These  shares  and  options  were 
granted as part of Mr Putt’s employment contract. 

Other than the matters noted above, the Board is not aware of any matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt 
with in these financial statements that has significantly or may significantly affect the operation of the Company, 
the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent financial years. 

Future Developments 

The Company’s strategic focus remains the development of the exploration assets in Western Australia. The 
initial focus will be on the Quicksilver Nickel-Cobalt project, as well as the Ironstone Well and Leonora East 
Gold Projects.  

Indemnity and Insurance of Officers 

The Company has indemnified the directors and executives of the Company for costs incurred, in their capacity 
as a director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good 
faith.  During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors 
and officers of the Company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract 
of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of liability and the amount of the premium. 

Indemnity and Insurance of Auditor  

The Company has not, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the 
Company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor.  During the financial year, the Company 
has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the Company or any related entity. 

Environmental Issues 

The Company’s activities involve exploration activities on WA mining tenements and therefore would be subject 
to the WA laws and regulations relating to such activities including environmental approvals as may be required 
from time to time under the Mining Act 1978.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 

The  remuneration  report,  which  has  been  audited,  outlines  the  Director  and  executive  remuneration 
arrangements  for  the  Company,  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  its 
Regulations. 

A. Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration 

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the 
Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives. To that end, the Company 
embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework: 
 
 
 

Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives; 
Focus on creating sustained shareholder value; 
Placing a portion of executive remuneration at risk, dependent upon meeting predetermined performance 
benchmarks; and 
Differentiation of individual rewards commensurate with contribution to overall results and according to 
individual accountability, performance and potential. 

 

The  Board’s  policy  for  determining  the  nature  and  amount  of  remuneration  for  Key  Management  Personnel 
(“KMP”) for the Company is based on the following: - 
-  The remuneration policy is to be developed and approved by the Board after professional advice is sought 

from independent external consultants (where applicable). 

-  All  executive  KMP  receive  a  base  salary  (which  is  based  on  factors  such  as  length  of  service  and 

experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and performance incentives, where appropriate. 

-  Performance  incentives  (in  the  form  of  a  cash  bonus)  are  generally  only  paid  once  predetermined  key 

performance indicators (KPIs) have been met. 

-  Apart from those detailed in this report no other share based/options incentives have been offered to KMP 

during this reporting financial year. 

-  The  Board,  which  also  serves  as  the  remuneration  committee,  reviews  the  remuneration  packages 
annually by reference to the Company’s performance, executive performance and comparable information 
from industry sectors.  

All remuneration paid to KMP is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. 

KMP or closely related parties of KMP are prohibited from entering hedge arrangements that would have the 
effect of limiting the risk exposure relating to their remuneration. In addition, the Board’s remuneration policy 
prohibits Directors and KMP from using the company’s shares as collateral in any financial transaction. 

Engagement of remuneration consultants 

During the year, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants.

Remuneration Structure 

The structure of Non-Executive Director, Executive Director and Senior Manager remuneration is separate and 
distinct. 

Non-Executive Director Remuneration 

The  Board’s  policy  is  to  remunerate  Non-Executive  Directors  at  market  rates  for  time,  commitment  and 
responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the 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. 

Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. 

Senior Management and Executive Director Remuneration 

The Company aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position 
and responsibilities within the Company to: 

 

 
 
 
 

Reward  Executives  for  company,  business  unit  and  individual  performance  against  targets  set  by 
reference to appropriate benchmarks; 
Align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders; 
Link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company;  
Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards; and 
Executive remuneration is designed to support the Company’s reward philosophies and to underpin the 
Company’s growth strategy.  The program comprises the following available components: 
 
 

Fixed remuneration component; and 
Variable remuneration component including cash bonuses paid. 

Fixed Remuneration 

The level of fixed remuneration is set to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the 
position and is competitive in the market.  The fixed (primary) remuneration is provided in cash. 

Variable Remuneration 

The performance of KMP is measured against criteria agreed annually with each Executive. All bonuses and 
incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest 
calibre  of  executives  and  reward  them  for  performance  results  leading  to  long-term  growth  in  shareholder 
wealth.   

The  objective  of  the  Short-Term  Incentive  (“STl”)  program  is  to  link  the  achievement  of  the  Company’s 
operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets.  The 
total potential STI available is set at a level to provide sufficient incentive to achieve the operational targets and 
such that the cost to the Company is reasonable. 

Actual STI payments granted depend on the extent to which specific operating targets are met.  The operational 
targets  consist  of  a  number  of  Key  Performance  Indicators  (KPIs)  covering  both  financial  and  non-financial 
measures of performance. 

On  an  annual  basis,  the  individual  performance  of  each  executive  is  rated  and  taken  into  account  when 
determining the amount, if any, of the short-term incentive pool allocated to each executive.  The aggregate of 
annual STI payments available for executives across the Company are usually delivered in the form of a cash 
bonus.

Non-Audit Services  

During the year HLB Mann Judd, the Company’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to 
their statutory duties.  The Directors are satisfied that the provision of these non-audit services by the auditor 
(or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence 
for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.  Details of amounts paid or payable are as follows:

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed above do not compromise the external auditor’s 
independence for the following reasons: 

  All non-audit services have been reviewed and approved by the Board 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  as  set  out  in 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Profession and Ethical 
Standards  Board,  including  reviewing  or  auditing  the  auditor’s  own  work,  acting  in  a  management  or 
decision-making  capacity  for  the  Company,  acting  as  an  advocate  for  the  Company  or  jointly  sharing 
economic risks and rewards.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
1. 

BASIS OF PREPARATION 

These  financial  statements  are  general  purpose  financial  statements  that  have  been  prepared  in 
accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards,  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations  and  the 
Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for-profit oriented entities. 

The  financial  statements  cover  the  Company  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2018.    The  Company  is  a 
company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.  

Except for the Statement of Cash Flows, the financial statements have been prepared on the accruals 
basis. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 28 September 2018. 

The Company’s principle activities are the exploration for and evaluation gold and other related resources 
in Western Australia. 

(a)  Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements 

Compliance with IFRS 

The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued 
by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

Historical Cost Convention 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified where 
appropriate  by  the  measurement  of  fair  value  of  selected  non-current  assets.    All  amounts  are 
presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise noted. 

(b)  Comparatives 

The Company was incorporated on 30 August 2016 and, therefore, the comparative period covers 
from  30  August  2016  to  30  June  2017.  Where  necessary,  comparative  information  has  been 
reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures. 

(c)  Going Concern 

During the year the Company made losses of $836,243 and spent $2,763,146 on exploration and 
corporate  activities.  At  30  June  2018  the  Company  had  cash  reserves  of  $1,589,177  and  net 
current assets, being current assets less current liabilities, of $1,392,517. Subsequent to the year 
end the Company raised $1,409,993 from issuing ordinary shares, after costs.   

Management  has  prepared  cash  flow  forecasts  incorporating  the  Company’s  tenement 
commitments and its exploration activity plans for the next 12 months. Based on these forecasts 
the Company currently has sufficient funding to meet its expenditure commitments and debts as 
and when they fall due up to September 2019. 

Accordingly,  the  Directors  have  prepared  the  financial  report  on  a  going  concern  basis,  which 
contemplates  continuity  of  normal  business  activities  and  the  realisation  of  assets  and  the 
settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

(b)  Significant Accounting Policies 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of 
interest. These costs are only capitalised to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through 
the successful development of the area or sale, or where exploration and evaluation activities in the 
area  have  not  yet  reached  a  stage  which  permits  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  of 
economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area 
of interest are continuing. 

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit/(loss) in the year 
in which the decision to abandon the area is made. In addition, a provision is raised against exploration 
and evaluation expenditure where the directors are of the opinion that the carried forward cost may not 
be recoverable.  Any such provision is charged against the results for the year. 

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised 
over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. 

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.  Expenditure is not carried forward in respect 
of any area of interest/mineral resource unless the Company’s rights of tenure to that area of interest 
are current. 

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and 
are  included  in  the  costs  of  the  relevant  stage.    Provisions  are  made  for  the  estimated  costs  of 
restoration  relating  to  areas  disturbed  during  the  mines  operation  up  to  reporting  date  but  not  yet 
rehabilitated. 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 
relevant clauses of the mining permits.   Such costs have been determined using estimates of future 
costs, current legal requirements and technology on a discounted basis. 

Any changes in the estimates of the costs are accounted for 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 any restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site. 

(c)  Critical Judgements 

The ultimate recoupment of capitalised expenditure in relation to each area of interest is dependent  on 
the  successful  development  and  commercial  exploitation  or,  alternatively,  sale  of  the  respective 
areas the results of which are still uncertain.

(d)  Commitments for expenditure 

To maintain current rights of tenure to the exploration tenements, the Company is required to meet the 
minimum expenditure requirements of the Department of Mines and Petroleum. Minimum expenditure 
commitments may otherwise be avoided by sale, farm out or relinquishment.  These obligations are not 
provided in the accounts.  The Company has committed to spend a total of $1,703,329 over the years 
of the granted permit areas in respect of these exploration programs. Expenditure commitment is for 
the term of the permit renewal.  The total commitment in relation to the permits is as follows: - 

Expenditure commitments within 1 year 
Expenditure commitments 2 – 5 years 
Expenditure commitments over 5 years

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original 
maturity of three months or less held at call with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. 

(c)  Financial Instrument Risk Management 

The  Company  manages  its  exposure  to  key  financial  risks  relating  to  cash  and  cash  equivalents  in 
accordance  with  its  financial  risk  management  policy.    The  objective  of  the  policy  is  to  support  the 
delivery of the Company’s financial targets whilst protecting future financial security. 

The main risks arising from cash and cash equivalents is interest rate risk.  The Directors manage risk 
by monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and consider cash requirements in relation to ongoing 
cash flow budgets.  

Interest Rate Risk 

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial instruments whereby a future change in interest rates 
will affect future cash flows of variable rate financial instruments. At 30 June 2018, the Company had 
variable rate deposits of $1,321,142 earning interest of 0.50% per annum.  The risk attached to the 
interest income for the year ended 30 June 2018 was not significant.   

Credit Risk 

The Company banks with Westpac and considers the bank’s credit worthiness appropriate to mitigate 
credit risk associated to the bank deposits. Westpac’s credit rating is AA-. Credit risk is managed by the 
Board in accordance with its policy.  The Board is satisfied that banking with an institution with a AA- 
credit rating sufficiently mitigates credit risk attached to cash deposits.

(a)  Significant Accounting Policies 

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

(b)  Financial Instrument Risk Management 

The main risks arising from trade and other payables is liquidity risk.  The Directors manage risk by 
monitoring levels of obligations arising from liabilities and commitments and consider cash requirements 
in relation to ongoing cash flow budgets.  

Liquidity Risk 

All payables are current and payable within 30 days.  Accordingly, management has ensured that the 
Company has sufficient cash resources to meet the liabilities as and when they are due.

(e)  Capital Management 

The Company considers its capital  to comprise  its ordinary share capital and accumulated losses. 

In managing  its capital, the Company’s primary objective is to ensure its continued ability to provide 
a consistent  return  for its  equity shareholders  through  capital  growth.  To achieve  this  objective, the 
Company seeks to maintain a gearing ratio that balances risks and returns at an acceptable level and 
to maintain a sufficient funding base to enable the Company to meet its working capital and strategic 
investment  needs.  During the exploration and evaluation phase of operations the Company does not 
anticipate utilising any loan funding and will rely upon capital raisings. 

(f)  Share based payments 

During the year, the Company did not enter into any share-based payment arrangements.

Share options were issued to Key Management Personnel upon appointment as part of their engagement agreements. 

(c)  Significant Accounting Policies - share based payments 

Equity-settled  share-based  payments  to  employees  and  others  providing  similar  services  are 
measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.  

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed 
on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  vesting  period,  based  on  the  Company's  estimate  of  equity 
instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each 
reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to 
vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such 
that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the 
equity-settled employee benefits reserve.  

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured 
at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated 
reliably,  in  which  case  they  are  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the  equity  instruments  granted, 
measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.  

For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability is recognised for the goods or services acquired, 
measured initially at the fair value of the liability. At the end of each reporting period until the liability 
is settled, and at the date of settlement, the fair value of the liability is remeasured, with any changes 
in fair value recognised in profit or loss for the year.

The benefit  of these losses has not been brought  to account at 30 June  2018 because the directors 
do not  believe  it  is  appropriate  to  regard  realisation  of  the  deferred  tax  asset  as  being  probable  at 
30 June 2018.  These  tax  losses  are  also subject  to  final  determination  by  the  Taxation  authorities 
when  the  Company  derives  taxable  income.    The benefits will only be realised if: 

(a)  The  Company  derives  future  assessable  income  of  a  nature  and  of  an  amount sufficient to 

enable the benefit of the deduction for the losses to be realised; 

(b)  The Company continues to comply with the conditions for the deductibility imposed by law; and 
(c)  No  changes  in  the  tax  legislation  adversely  affect  the  Company  in  realising  the benefit of the 

losses. 

Australian  tax  losses  are  subject  to  further  review  by  the  Company  to  determine  if  they  satisfy  the 
necessary  legislative  requirements  under  the  Income  Tax  legislation  for  the  carry  forward  and 
recoupment of tax losses.  

(d)  Significant Accounting Policies 

Current  income  tax  expense  is  the  tax  payable  on  the  current  year’s  taxable  income  based  on  the 
applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. 

Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, the Australian 
Taxation Office (ATO) and other fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting years that are 
unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in 
the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been 
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting year.  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to 
apply to their respective year of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the 
end of the reporting year. 

A balance sheet approach is adopted under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for 
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the

financial statements.  No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised if it arose in a transaction, other than 
a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting or taxable profit 
or loss. 

Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  temporary  differences  and  unused  tax  losses  only  when  it  is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.  
Current  and  deferred  tax  balances  attributable  to  amounts  recognised  directly  in  equity  are  also 
recognised directly in equity.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 

Classification 

The Company classifies its financial instruments based on the purpose for which the instruments were 
acquired.    Management  determines  the  classification  of  its  financial  instruments  at  the  time  of  initial 
recognition.  The  Company’s  principal  financial  instruments  comprise  receivables,  payables,  cash  and 
short-term deposits. 

At the reporting date, the Company’s financial instruments were classified within the following categories. 

Cash and cash equivalents 

See note 3. 

Financial Liabilities 

Financial  liabilities  include  trade  payables,  other  creditors  and  loans  from  third  parties  including  inter-
company balances and loans from or other amounts due to Director-related entities. 

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principle 
payments and amortisation. 

Financial Risk Management 

The Company manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate and currency risk in 
accordance with the Company’s financial risk management policy.  The objective of the policy is to support 
the delivery of the Company’s financial targets whilst protecting future financial security. 

The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency 
risk, price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.  The Company uses different methods to measure and manage 
different types of risk to which it is exposed.  These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate 
and foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate, foreign exchange and 
commodity prices. Aging analysis and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage 
credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts. 

The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below. 

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board of Directors (‘the 
Board’).  The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including 
interest rate risk, credit allowances, and future cash flow forecast projections. The company does not 
hedge its risks. 

The carrying amounts and net fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at balance date 
are:

Cash and cash equivalents 
Trade and other receivables 
Non-Traded Financial Assets 

Financial Liabilities at

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

Risk Exposures and Responses 

Interest Rate Risk 

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial instruments whereby a future change in interest rates 
will affect future cash flows or the fair value of the fixed rate financial instruments. The Company is also 
exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments. At balance date, the Company’s exposure to 
interest rate risk was wholly related to cash and cash equivalents and is discussed in note 3. 

Interest rate risk is managed by monitoring the level of floating rate which the Group is able to secure. It 
is the policy of the Group to keep the majority of its cash in accounts with floating interest rates.   

Sensitivity Analysis 

During the current year the interest received was $47,508.  The directors do not consider this material to 
the result or the overall financial statements and have not carried out a sensitivity analysis. 

Foreign Exchange Risk 

The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk. 

Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity Risk is the risk that the Company, although balance sheet solvent, cannot meet or generate 
sufficient cash resources to meet its payment obligations in full as they fall due, or can only do so at 
materially disadvantageous terms.  The Company’s liquidity risk relates to its trade and other payables.  
All payables are due within 3 months of the year end. 

The  Board  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  adequate  reserves  and  by  continuously  monitoring 
forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. 

Credit Risk 

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and cash equivalents 
and trade and other receivables.  The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of 
the counter party, with maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.  Exposure 
at balance date in relation to cash and cash and cash equivalents is discussed in note 3. There is no 
exposure in relation to trade and other receivables as the balance relates to GST recoverable, which is 
not a financial instrument, and the counter-party is the Australian Tax Office.  

Fair Value 

The Company does not carry any of its financial assets at fair value after initial recognition.  

19.  APPLICABLE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS 

(a)  New, Revised or Amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted  

The Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) that are relevant to its operations and effective 
for the year. 

(b)  New, Revised or Amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted 

Certain new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have 
been published that are not yet mandatory for 30 June 2018 reporting year and have not been 
early adopted by the Company.  The major accounting standards that have not been early adopted 
for the year ended 30 June 2018 but will be applicable to the Company in future reporting years, 
are detailed below.  Apart from these standards, the Company has considered other accounting 
standards that will be applicable in future years, however they have been considered insignificant 
to the Company. 

  AASB  9  ‘Financial  Instruments’  includes  requirements  for  the  classification  and 
measurement of financial assets resulting from the first part of Phase 1 of the project to 
replace AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’, which becomes 
mandatory for the Company’s 30 June 2019 financial statements. The Company does not 

42 

 
 
 
GOLDEN MILE RESOURCES LIMITED 
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

have any financial instruments that would be materially impacted by the adoption of the 
new standard but may have to amend its disclosures. The Company has decided not to 
early adopt AASB 9. 

  AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and 
when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including 
IAS  18  ‘Revenue’,  IAS  11  ‘Construction  Contracts’,  and  IFRIC  13  ‘Customer  Loyalty 
Programmes’.  IFRS  15  is  effective  for  annual  reporting  years  beginning  on  or  after  1 
January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has decided not to early adopt 
AASB  15  the  Company  has  yet  to  generate  any  revenue  and  is  unlikely  to  generate 
revenue in the next year. 

  AASB 16 ‘Leases’ introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to 
recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless 
the underlying asset is of low value. This standard becomes mandatory for the Company’s 
31 December 2019 financial statements.  The Company has decided not to early adopt 
AASB  16.  The  Company’s  lease  arrangements  are  short  term  and  the  adoption  of  the 
standard  will  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  results,  balances  or  disclosures  in  the 
financial report.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Golden Mile Resources Limited

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT

Opinion

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of Golden  Mile Resources  Limited (“the  Company”)  which
comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for
the  year  then  ended,  and  notes  to  the  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant
accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

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

a) giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the Company’s financial  position  as at 30  June  2018 and of  its

financial performance for the year then ended; and

b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the Company in  accordance  with  the  auditor
independence  requirements  of  the Corporations  Act  2001 and  the  ethical  requirements  of  the
Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110 Code  of  Ethics for  Professional
Accountants (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have
also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We  confirm  that  the  independence  declaration  required  by  the Corporations  Act  2001, which  has
been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as
at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters.

45Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Carrying value of exploration and evaluation asset
Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Report

In  accordance  with  AASB  6 Exploration  for
and  Evaluation  of  Mineral  Resources (“AASB
6”),
the
for  each  of  area  of  interest,
Company  capitalises expenditure incurred  in
the exploration for and evaluation of mineral
resources. These capitalised  assets are
recorded using the cost model.

focussed  on 

Our  audit 
the Company’s
assessment  of  the  carrying  amount  of  the
capitalised  exploration  and  evaluation  asset,
because  this  is  one  of  the  significant  assets
of  the Company. There  is  a  risk  that  the
capitalised  expenditure  no  longer  meets  the
recognition  criteria  of AASB  6.  In  addition,
to  assess
we  considered 
whether  facts  and  circumstances  existed  to
suggest  that  the  carrying  amount  of  an
exploration and evaluation asset may exceed
its recoverable amount.

it  necessary 

Our procedures included but were not limited to:



the

capitalised 

exploration
Testing 
expenditures  incurred  in  respect  of
the
Company’s areas  of  interest  by  evaluating
supporting documentation for consistency to
the
the  capitalisation 
requirements  of
Company’s  accounting  policies  and 
the
requirements of AASB 6;

 We  obtained  an  understanding  of  the  key
processes  associated  with  management’s
review  of  the  exploration  and  evaluation
asset carrying values;

 We  considered  the  Directors’ assessment  of

potential indicators of impairment;

 We obtained evidence that the Company has
current  rights  to  tenure  of  its  areas of
interest;

 We  examined the  exploration  budget  for
2019 and  discussed  with  management  the
nature of planned ongoing activities;

 We  enquired  with  management,  reviewed
ASX  announcements  and  minutes  of
Directors’  meetings  to  ensure  that  the
company had  not  decided  to  discontinue
exploration  and  evaluation  at  its  areas of
interest; and

 We examined the disclosures made in 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 annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

46If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.

In  preparing  the  financial  report,  the  directors  are  responsible  for  assessing  the  ability  of  the
Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
and  using  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  unless  the  directors  either  intend to  liquidate  the
Company 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  Australian  Auditing  Standards  will  always  detect  a  material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the  economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Australian  Auditing  Standards,  we  exercise  professional
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:



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





 Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’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 Company’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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

47

Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial  report,  including  the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.

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

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

REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION REPORT

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 16 to 22 of the directors’ report for the
year ended 30 June 2018.

In  our opinion,  the  Remuneration  Report  of Golden  Mile  Resources Limited  for  the  year  ended 30
June 2018 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Responsibilities

The  directors  of  the  Company  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the
Remuneration  Report  in  accordance  with  section  300A  of  the Corporations  Act  2001.    Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
