2 Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder
I am pleased to present the Company’s annual report for the 2019 financial year.
During the year the Company continued to progress its Copper-Nickel-Cobalt projects at Yamarna and
Winchester, with additional RC and diamond drilling at Mt Venn, initial RC and diamond drilling at Eastern Mafic
and a first-pass RC program at Winchester. In addition to this the Company tested gold targets at Tarmoola, and
regional aircore programs at Tarmoola and Winchester which added to our knowledge of the stratigraphy and
litho-geochemistry in both areas.
At the end of FY19 the Company was in the final stages of planning a regional airborne EM survey over the Mt
Carlon project, which was completed in August to complete the project earn-in from Gold Road. We are currently
assessing the results of the survey in order to plan further exploration.
The Operations Report goes into further detail on these projects.
Following a review of previous exploration at Jundee South that project was relinquished in June 2019.
In parallel to the ongoing field program, the Company also completed work on its research and development
project seeking to unlock value from the Yamarna sulphide ores through a simple metallurgical process to extract
copper, nickel and cobalt. This has resulted in defining a simple flow-sheet resulting in high recoveries of copper
sulphide, nickel sulphide and cobalt sulphate, resulting in a high value product suitable for the battery and EV
markets.
In April 2019 Great Boulder announced the resignation of inaugural Managing Director Stefan Murphy, and in
June Andrew Paterson stepped into the role to lead the Company forward.
Subsequent to the end of FY19 the Company took a significant step forward in announcing two separate
acquisitions for a combined 430km2 tenement holding over the Whiteheads Project, north of Kalgoorlie.
Whiteheads is an advanced gold project with a number of high-grade intersections in historic drilling as well as
large-scale, coherent gold-in-soil anomalies which require testing. On the western side of the project area there
is also some potential for komatiite-hosted nickel sulphide mineralisation which will be investigated in future
field programs.
As an advanced gold project with potential for nickel discoveries, Whiteheads is exactly in line with our original
strategy of being a gold and nickel explorer. The Board are excited by the potential at Whiteheads, and look
forward to seeing the results from our ongoing drilling programs.
Lastly I would like to thank our directors, officers, staff, consultants and contractors for their tireless efforts
throughout the year, and I look forward to continuing those relationships in the year ahead.

3 Review of Operations
YAMARNA PROJECT
Background
The Yamarna Project is located 130 km east of Laverton in the Eastern Goldfields District of Western Australia
and consists of six granted exploration licences and one granted prospecting license. Great Boulder holds a 75%
interest in the Mt Venn Project through a Joint Venture agreement with Eastern Goldfields Mining Company Pty
Ltd (EGMC). Both Great Boulder and EGMC are contributing to project expenditure on a pro-rata basis, equal to
their equity interest (75:25).
The Mt Venn and Eastern Mafic discoveries are both located within the project area.
Mt Venn lies immediately west of the Yamarna greenstone belt and covers the southern extensions of the Mt
Venn greenstone belt. The Eastern Mafic complex, located 7km south-east from Mt Venn, was identified in early
2018 as potentially part of the same magmatic event as Mt Venn, but formed earlier and closer to the source of
the intrusion. Exploration activities during 2018 and 2019 have confirmed the Eastern Mafic complex represents
a large sulphide bearing mafic intrusion that is most likely part of the same magmatic event as Mt Venn.

mineralisation has been discovered at the Mt
Venn and Eastern Mafic complexes. Great
Boulder has defined copper dominant
mineralisation along the western Mt Venn
trend and identified a more nickel-rich part of
the system at the Eastern Mafic.
During the reporting year, Great Boulder
continued its exploration program from FY18
testing numerous EM conductors identified in
the 2017 moving loop EM (MLEM) survey. This
consisted of ongoing RC drilling at Mt Venn
focusing on strike and dip extensions to the
central zone, while also testing the northern
extension. At the Eastern Mafic the first RC
holes were drilled into EM targets, leading to
the discovery of higher-tenor nickel sulphides
and supporting the Company’s view that the
Eastern Mafic is closer to the source of high-
grade nickel mineralisation. Further drilling

MT VENN COMPLEX
The Company continued RC and diamond drilling at Mt Venn, with holes continuing to intersect wide zones of
copper-dominant sulphide mineralisation. The mineralisation has been defined over more than 1km of strike,
and it remains open along strike and also down dip. Drilling during the September quarter defined mineralisation
down to 240m below surface. The northern extension of the system was also identified during that drilling
program, intersecting zones of sulphide 20 to 44m wide.
Significant intersections from Mt Venn announced during the year are listed in the table below.

EASTERN MAFIC COMPLEX
During FY19 Great Boulder drilled the first RC and diamond holes into selected targets at the Eastern Mafic
Complex. Three distinct sulphide phases were identified in the Eastern Mafic drilling, with higher-tenor nickel
sulphide found along the feeder zone and neck of the intrusion at Zermatt considered the most prospective for
economic nickel sulphide mineralization. The nickel tenor – a theoretical measure of the nickel grade in a 100%
sulphide body within each zone – is used by the Company to vector in on areas of potentially high-grade nickel.
This theory supports the view that the Eastern Mafic is closer to the source of the nickel-rich magma, while Mt
Venn sulphides contain more copper and cobalt.
Assay and geophysical data from the drilling program was used to better define the geometry of the mafic
intrusion, successfully mapping discrete magma pulses hosting different phases of copper-nickel sulphide
mineralisation. A key conclusion drawn from this revised interpretation is that the Eastern Mafic has a vertical
plumbing system, forming at depth rather than along strike to the south-east and that drilling to date has only
intersected the top of the intrusion, leaving the main body of the intrusion untested.
The evidence of multiple magma pulses with increasing nickel tenor at depth supports the potential for further
magma pulses towards the core of the intrusion to host more nickel-rich sulphide mineralisation.
Great Boulder’s exploration strategy at the Eastern Mafic complex is to continue vectoring in to discover the
magma feeder zone or chonolith responsible for the multiple magma pulses identified in drilling to date. The
potential for the discovery of a chonolith is important because many globally-significant nickel sulphide
orebodies occur within these types of intrusions. In magmatic-hosted nickel sulphides the feeder zones are likely
to contain sulphides with the highest nickel concentration.

METALLURGICAL TESTWORK
The Company has now completed metallurgical testwork on drill core from Mt Venn.
The purpose of the research was to establish a robust and viable process to extract copper, nickel and cobalt
from the sulphide material. The tests concentrated on the following basic criteria:
Produce a saleable copper concentrate with minimal loss of other key metals;
Optimise leaching conditions to extract nickel and cobalt from the bulk pyrrhotite concentrate;
Demonstrate effective impurity rejection; and
Select a preferred route for nickel and cobalt recovery.
Initial metallurgical trials have been completed
on a composite sample from diamond drill hole
17MVDD002 representing a massive nickel-
cobalt (pyrrhotite) zone at the Mt Venn deposit.
These initial trials aimed to investigate possible
metallurgical flowsheet options and
demonstrate the ability to leach the massive
pyrrhotite and produce separate nickel, cobalt
and copper products.
A clean copper flotation concentrate with no
in the
deleterious elements was produced
flotation circuit grading between 16 and 20% Cu.
This flotation concentrate is mixed with the high
purity copper sulphide (46% Cu) produced from
the hydrometallurgical circuit to generate a
combined saleable +20% Cu concentrate at over
90% overall recovery.
The bulk concentrate underwent leaching and
solution purification testing to produce high
value sulphide products that are in demand in
the battery and EV markets. Pressure oxidation
(POX) was selected in this phase of work due to
higher recoveries and improved quality of leach
solution for downstream processing.
FIGURE 4: SIMPLIFIED PROCESS FLOWSHEET.
Successful tests were carried out at 1,000 kPa oxygen pressure and 150°C temperature, with almost complete
extractions of value metals typically achieved within 60-90 minutes.
Following POX, the leached slurry is neutralised with limestone to remove residual acid and the majority of iron
from solution. Minor losses of copper occur at this stage but most of the nickel and cobalt metal is retained in
solution (>95%).

Precipitation testwork on neutralised liquor successfully produced very high-quality copper sulphide and a
combined nickel and cobalt sulphide product with no deleterious elements and at very high extraction rates of
95-99%.

The copper sulphide product is extremely high-grade and free of any deleterious elements. It is added back into
the copper flotation concentrate to produce an attractive +20% copper concentrate at a high overall recovery of
over 90%.
The mixed nickel-cobalt concentrate is a high-grade and very high-value intermediate product (+35% Ni+Co)
suitable for the battery and EV markets.
Solvent extraction (“SX”) and crystallisation testwork has also been successfully completed to produce a very
high purity cobalt sulphate product grading 29% Co or +99% Cobalt sulphate.
Additional nickel sulphide precipitation testwork was conducted on cobalt free liquor post cobalt removal by SX.
A very high purity nickel sulphide concentrate grading 41% Ni and 1.5% Co was produced.
While the testwork to produce a high-value and readily saleable cobalt sulphate product was successful, the
solvent extraction circuit and additional solution purification requirements add significant cost and technical risk
to the process flowsheet. Producing a copper sulphide and mixed nickel-cobalt sulphide concentrate is currently
the preferred flowsheet.

WINCHESTER PROJECT
Great Boulder is exploring the Winchester Project under an earn-in agreement with Ausgold Limited. Post the
end of FY19 the Company has a 51% interest in the project, with the aiming of moving to 75% with further work.
During the reporting year the Company drilled its first RC holes into the Winchester Prospect at Winchester, as
well as a regional aircore program designed to increase the understanding of local stratigraphy and geochemistry.
Two RC holes were drilled during the December quarter. Both intersected primary sulphide mineralisation at the
Winchester prospect previously drilled by Ausgold. Significant intersections include:
7m at 1.1% Cu, 0.2% Ni, 0.01% Co, 0.19g/t Au, 0.13g/t PGE from 120m (18WNRC001)
including 2m at 1.8% Cu, 0.2% Ni, 0.02% Co, 0.25g/t Au, 0.22g/t PGE
13m at 0.9% Cu, 0.3% Ni, 0.02% Co from 138m (18WNRC002);
including 5m at 1.1% Cu, 0.7% Ni, 0.04% Co, 0.10g/t PGE.
Sulphide mineralisation at Winchester is of higher nickel tenor than the other regional projects, demonstrating
the potential to achieve grades of 3% nickel in massive sulphide. Drilling will continue to target strike and dip
extensions to mineralization at this prospect.
During the June quarter 118 aircore holes were drilled for the purposes of mapping the regional stratigraphy and
geochemistry. Downhole assay results identified a significant zone of coincident nickel, copper and PGE
anomalism over a strike extent of almost 3km, extending from the Winchester prospect down to the southern
boundary of the tenement.

Great Boulder also completed a ground gravity survey at Winchester to assist with geological interpretation, with
station intervals of 200m on lines 400m apart. This information will be used in ongoing modelling and drill
targeting.
The Company intends to continue exploring the Winchester Project, with an emphasis on extending known
mineralisation at the namesake Winchester prospect with additional RC and diamond drilling.

MT CARLON PROJECT
The Mt Carlon project, located 60km south of Mt Venn, was originally identified during a regional review to
identify potential mafic intrusions that may host magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide mineralisation. Great
Boulder entered into an earn-in agreement with Gold Road Resources to acquire 100% of the project. Post the
end of FY19 this earn-in has been successfully completed.
There are two conceptual targets within Mt Carlon. The first is an area of strong geophysical magnetic and gravity
response on the eastern side of the greenstone belt which may represent a large mafic intrusion. The second is
an ultramafic unit mapped over 7km of strike in which historic drilling has identified elevated nickel and copper
values.
Since the end of FY19 the Company has completed a regional airborne EM survey to identify conductive
anomalies as possible sulphide targets. With the data acquisition now completed, Great Boulder are assessing
the resultant images with a view to commencing drill testing shortly.

TARMOOLA PROJECT
The Tarmoola project is located approximately 40 km northwest of Leonora and in close proximity to King of the
Hills and Thunderbox gold mines, as well as the Waterloo and Sinclair nickel mines. Great Boulder has executed
a JV agreement with EGMC to earn a 75% interest in the Tarmoola project by funding a $1,400,000 exploration
program over five years.
Tarmoola is located within the Sons of Gwalia Domain of the Leonora greenstone belt and is composed
predominantly of basalt, with lesser dolerite, komatiite, and interflow sedimentary units. A kilometre-scale
internal granitoid intrudes the central portion of the project area. Several historical gold deposits are located
around the margin of the Tarmoola project, associated with differentiated granitoid intrusions along northwest
trending regional structures (e.g. Diorite King, Victory and Mount Stirling).
During the December quarter the Company drilled 11 RC holes into structural and geochemical targets on the
eastern side of the project looking for possible mineralisation on the Ursus Fault and Marionette Shear. Although
elevated pathfinder elements were detected there was little encouragement in the gold assays.
In 2019 the Company’s focus moved to
the northern and western portions of
Tarmoola, with an aircore program of 76
holes testing three areas in the north,
northwest and eastern sides of the
project.
At the Sturt Meadows prospect on the
western contact of the internal granitoid,
aircore drilling intersected unusual nickel
sulphides near the base of a deep
palaeochannel. As announced to the
market in July 2019, the sulphides were
identified as vaesite, a nickel mineral
which may also contain cobalt. The

WHITEHEADS PROJECT
In late August 2019 the Company announced the acquisition of an option to acquire a 75% interest in the
Whiteheads Gold Project from Zebina Minerals Pty Ltd. Under the terms of the agreement, Great Boulder can
earn a 75% interest in the project by spending $200,000 on exploration. The consideration for the option was a
value of $100,000 and the consideration to exercise the option is a further $400,000, with both payments being
50% cash and 50% GBR shares.
The Whiteheads project consists of three Exploration Licences covering an area of approximately 230km2
between 45km and 70km north of Kalgoorlie. Whiteheads is an advanced gold project with numerous high-grade
intersections in historic drilling, as well as several large, coherent gold-in-soil anomalies up to 6.5km long.
in
Subsequent to that announcement, in early
September the Company announced an
agreement with Mithril Resources Ltd to
acquire an 80% interest in the adjacent
two stages:
Lignum Dam project
acquiring 51% by spending $400,000 on
exploration over two years; and then
moving to 80% by spending an additional
$600,000 over the next two years. The
agreement has a minimum commitment of
$120,000 in expenditure if GBR elects not
to proceed with the farm-in.
These two contiguous areas will be jointly
known as the Whiteheads Project.

with walk-up drill targets and multiple
other untested surface gold anomalies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
GREAT BOULDER RESOURCES LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Great Boulder Resources Limited (the Company), which comprises the
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, 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:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) 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.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of
$1,353,836 and had total net cash outflows from operating activities and investing activities of $565,598 and
$2,521,384 respectively for the year ended 30 June 2019. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth
in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have
determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure
Refer to Note 9 in the financial statements
The Company has capitalised a significant amount
of exploration and evaluation expenditure, with a
carrying value of $5,588,496 as at 30 June 2019.
We considered this to be a key audit matter due to
the significant management judgments involved in
assessing the carrying value of the assets including:
Determination of whether the exploration and
evaluation expenditure can be associated with
finding specific mineral resources, and the
basis on which that expenditure is allocated to
an area of interest;
Assessing whether
any
impairment are present; and
indicators
of
Assessing whether exploration activities have
reached a stage at which the existence of an
economically recoverable reserves may be
concluded.
Our audit procedures in relation to the carrying value
of the exploration and evaluation asset included:
Obtaining evidence that the Company has valid
rights to explore in the specific area;
Enquiring with and assessing management’s
basis on which they have determined that the
exploration and evaluation of mineral resources
has not yet reached the stage where it can be
concluded that no commercially viable quantities
of mineral resources exists;
Enquiring with and assessing management’s
basis on which they have determined that the
exploration and evaluation of mineral resources
at Jundee South are impaired;
Enquiring with management and reviewing
budgets and plans to test that the Company will
incur substantive expenditure on
further
exploration
for and evaluation of mineral
resources in the specific area; and
Reviewing minutes of director meetings and ASX
announcements to ensure that the Company had
not resolved to discontinue activities in the
specific area.
Other Information
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 2019, but does not include the financial report and
the auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true
and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In 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 the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. This description
forms part of our auditor's report.

13 Notes to the Financial Statements
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The company has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not
been early adopted.
The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have a significant impact on the financial
performance or position of the company.
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 year ended 30 June 2019. The company’s
assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to
the company, are set out below.
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard
replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases.
Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as
the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions
relate to short -term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and
small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised
or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease
will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred
and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense
recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an
interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease,
the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under
AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be
improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB
16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a
principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor
accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The company will adopt
this standard from 1 July 2019. The impact of the new leases standard is that leased asset will be capitalised in
the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to
be made over the lease term and a liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised,
adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any
future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. The company will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the
impact of its adoption is expected to be minimal.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2019
41
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of
normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of
business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the Company incurred a loss of $1,353,836 and had net cash outflows
from operating and investing activities of $565,598 and $2,521,384 respectively for the year ended 30 June
2019. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the
Company to secure funds by raising additional capital from equity markets and managing cash flows in line with
available funds.
These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Company will
continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the
normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to continue as
a going concern, it plans to issue additional equity securities, to raise further working capital. The Directors are
confident the Company will be successful in sourcing further capital to fund the ongoing operations of the
Company.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is
appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets
or liabilities that might be necessary if the Company does not continue as a going concern.
(a)
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian
Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board.
The financial report was authorised for issue on 28th September 2019 by the Board of Directors.
The functional and presentation currency of Great Boulder Resources Limited is Australian Dollars.
The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity
of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course
of business.
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the
revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets.
(b)
Income tax
The company adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on
the profit adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2019
42
Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial
statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability,
excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or
liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to
items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption
that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the company will derive
sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of
deductibility imposed by the law.
(c)
Revenue recognition
Interest revenue
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of
calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period
using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through
the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
(d)
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current
classification.
An asset is current when: it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating
cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within twelve months after the
reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle
a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when: it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose
of trading; it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional
right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other
liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
(e)
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are
current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the
expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by
its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits
a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or
an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2019
43
decision is made.
(f)
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.
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 comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
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 assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash
flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment is depreciated on a diminishing value over their useful lives
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
10-33%
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount
is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and
losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income.
(g)
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the
financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and
are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(h)
Equity-based payments
Equity-based compensation benefits can be provided to suppliers and employees.
The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in
contributed equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the
recipient becomes unconditionally entitled to the options.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2019
44
The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an option pricing model that takes into account
the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-
tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share,
the expected divided yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.
(i)
Earnings per share
i.
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the company,
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the
year.
ii.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into
account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential
ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration
in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(j)
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.
(k)
Impairment of assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment.
Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for
the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment,
assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating
units).
(l)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-
term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
(m)
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past
events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the
amount has been reliably estimated.
(n)
GST
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is
not recoverable from the taxation. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2019
45
part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated as inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority 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 taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
(o)
Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction
costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.
The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the
statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.
(p)
Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred, including interest on short-term and long-term borrowings.
(q)
Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction,
net of tax, from the proceeds.
(r)
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for
settlement within 30 days.
The company has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime
expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on
days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
(s)
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected
to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid
when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefits
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2019
46
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting
date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided
by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected
future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future
payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity
and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are
incurred.
Share based payments
Equity-settled compensation benefits are provided to employees. Equity-settled transactions are awards of
shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.
2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates
its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses.
Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various
factors, including expectations of future events; management believes to be reasonable under the
circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are
discussed below.
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the company will commence commercial
production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the
mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining
expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and
capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful
development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production
at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost
of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are
determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination
is made.
Share based payment transactions
The company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with suppliers and employees by reference to the
fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using
either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the
instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share based
payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting
period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2019
47
3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by
the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation
of resources.
The company operates as a single segment which is mineral exploration and in a single geographical location
which is Australia.

expenditure in relation to these areas of interest has been impaired.
The future realisation of these non-current assets is dependent on further exploration and funding
necessary to the resources or realisation through sale.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and
agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including for interest rate risk, credit allowances
and cash flow forecast projections.
Risk Exposures and Responses
(a)
Interest rate risk exposure
The company's is not exposed to interest rate risk.
(b)
Credit risk exposure
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the company, which comprise deposits with banks and trade and
other receivables. The company’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with
the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The carrying amount of financial
assets included in the statement of financial position represents the company’s maximum exposure to credit risk
in relation to those assets.
The company does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.
The company trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor
is it the company’s policy to securities it trades and other receivables.
Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the company does not have a
significant exposure to bad debts.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the company.
(c)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the company and the company’s subsequent ability to meet
their obligations to repay their financial liabilities as and when they fall due.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and, the
availability of funding through the ability to raise further equity or through related party entities. Due to the
dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Board aims at maintaining flexibility in funding through
management of its cash resources. The company has no financial liabilities at the year-end other than normal
trade and other payables incurred in the general course of business.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the company's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities.
The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest
date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash
flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying
amount in the statement of financial position.
