Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2020

1 Key Highlights
The Directors of Great Boulder Resources Ltd (Great Boulder, GBR or the
Company) are pleased to present the Annual Report for the Financial Year 1
July 2019 to 30 June 2020.
During the year the Company continued its transition from a pure nickel sulphide explorer to a dual gold and
nickel focus. The first step in this process was the acquisition of the Whiteheads joint venture, north of Kalgoorlie,
in August 2019.
In early 2020 the annual exploration review resulted in the relinquishment of the Tarmoola project near Leonora,
and later the Mt Carlon project south of Yamarna. Both these decisions are consistent with the Company’s
philosophy of quickly assessing projects’ potential in order to focus exploration on those with the greatest
prospect of success.
A conventional, staged exploration strategy at Whiteheads brought early reward in the form of a 3.8km gold-in-
soil anomaly on the Arsenal trend, which was confirmed with air-core drilling in July 2020. The Blue Poles
discovery is now a key prospect for ongoing exploration at Whiteheads.
Subsequent to 30 June 2020 the Company announced the acquisition of an option on a second gold joint venture,
the Side Well gold project near Meekatharra in Western Australia. Side Well is an advanced exploration project
with significant high-grade intersections in previous drilling, and it represents an exciting step forward in GBR’s
gold prospects.
With two gold and two nickel projects, the Board feels that GBR’s project portfolio is well balanced and of an
appropriate scale for the technical team to manage. Drilling commenced at Side Well in late August 2020, and
the Company looks forward to a busy exploration program in the months ahead.
The Company is now well set for a productive and rewarding FY21, with an aggressive, fully funded exploration
program underway as we move into the December quarter. The current focus on gold will be balanced with
ongoing work at the Yamarna and Winchester projects next year, as we look to maximise value in all areas.
The Board and Management of Great Boulder would like to thank all our shareholders, consultants and
community stakeholders for your support during the year. We look forward to an exciting and active year
ahead.
Corporate
At 30 June 2020 the Company had 133.45 million ordinary shares on issue
Subsequent to EOFY the Company completed a share placement and a 1:6 rights issue to raise approximately
$2.35m at an issue price of $0.043. This will increase the issued share capital to 188 million ordinary shares.

2 Review of Operations
WHITEHEADS GOLD PROJECT
Having acquired an option to explore the Whiteheads project in late August 2019, the Company commenced RC
drilling the following October. This initial program consisted of extensional holes at the Seven Leaders and Lady
Betty prospects, and three holes aimed at more speculative targets at Whiteheads Find.
As announced on 11 December 2019, the best
results from the drilling included 16m @ 1.13g/t
Au at Seven Leaders and 1m @ 7.51g/t Au at
significant
Lady Betty. There were no
intersections in the Whiteheads Find holes,
although subsequent analysis of the results
indicated that two holes may have failed to
intersect the target lithology. These holes will be
extended at a later date when there is an RC rig
nearby.
In late 2019 the Company commenced a series of
auger sampling programs designed to extend
and infill previous auger coverage, with an initial
focus on the Arsenal trend. Arsenal had
previously been sampled by a mixture of
conventional soil and auger soils using various
assay techniques, so a decision was made to
auger sample areas previously tested by
conventional soils.
The decision to use auger sampling was informed
partly by a desire to achieve uniform data
quality, and partly because of anecdotal
evidence that surface gold appeared to be
shedding downhill, creating
false anomaly
positions at surface. As auger samples are taken
from
layer
approximately 1 to 1.5m below surface they are thought to be a more representative indication of any gold
mineralisation within the regolith.

the
Auger sampling on the Arsenal trend confirmed a coherent gold-in-soil anomaly oriented north-south over a
strike of approximately 3.8km, announced to the market on 3 February 2020. Exploration was postponed by the
start of regional travel restrictions caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, and there was no further work at Arsenal
until July 2020.

Figure 2: The Arsenal trend auger anomaly, March 2020
During H1 2020 the Company also commenced a regional program to locate and sample bottom-of-hole material
from as many historic drill holes as possible. The chips are assayed for low-level multi-element geochemistry,
building a project-wide data set that will be used the geological understanding of the area. The data will also be
assessed to identify any anomalous pathfinder elements indicative of gold mineralisation as part of the ongoing
target generation process. This sampling and assay program is ongoing.
Blue Poles discovery
Subsequent to EOFY the Company completed a 69-hole, 3,121m program of air-core drilling testing targets on
the Arsenal trend as well as at Gindalbie, Whiteheads Dam and Lindsays South. Approximately half the holes
were designed to test the strongest “bullseye” area of the Arsenal soil anomaly. These were successful in defining
anomalous bottom-of-hole gold intersections over a strike length in excess of 600m, with mineralisation open
along strike and also to the southwest (ASX announcements 10 August 2020 and 13 August 2020). This has been
named the Blue Poles prospect.
Best results from 4m composite samples from the air-core drilling include:
4m @ 3.35g/t Au from 50m in 20WHAC003
20m @ 0.54g/t Au from 32m, including 5m @ 1.19g/t Au in 20WHAC008
8m @ 0.85g/t Au from 35m including 2m @ 1.62g/t Au in 20WHAC033
15m @ 0.57g/t from 33m in 20WHAC034.
The program also identified anomalous gold in other prospects, including:
2m @ 1.76g/t Au from 33m in 20WHAC042 near the Gindalbie historic workings; and
3m @ 3.14g/t Au from 16m in 20WHAC047 near Whiteheads Dam.
Additional air-core drilling will be completed at Blue Poles later in 2020 to define the strike extents to
mineralisation, after which it will be tested at depth with RC drilling.

SIDE WELL GOLD PROJECT
The Side Well project consists of a single tenement E51/1905, located east-northeast of Meekatharra in Western
Australia.
Great Boulder announced an option to explore Side Well in July 2020. The Company has a 12-month option with
a possible 12-month extension if required, during which time Great Boulder may exercise the option to acquire
a 75% interest in the project. Upon entering a 75:25 joint venture, the vendor Zebina Minerals Pty Ltd will remain
free carried to a decision to mine.
This is GBR’s second agreement with Zebina Minerals,
the other being the Whiteheads agreement in August
2019.
Zebina is owned by Kalgoorlie-based prospector and
businessman Scott Wilson, who has held ground in
the Meekatharra area for more than 30 years. Mr
Wilson was the first person to peg the Andy Well area,
north of Side Well, after seeing a Government
aeromagnetic map in 1985 which indicated that the
Meekatharra greenstone stratigraphy continued
further north than had previously been realised,
hidden by a layer of shallow cover.
The Wilber Lode at Andy Well was first drilled by
Dominion Mining Ltd in 1992 in joint venture with Mr
Wilson. Dominion’s interest passed on to Western
Mining Corporation in 1995, and it was WMC who
drilled the first high-grade intersection into Wilber
with a result of 10m @ 7.2g/t. At that time the WMC-
Wilson tenements extended as far south as Jones
Well, which is now the northern end of the Side Well
project.
WMC later relinquished their interest in Andy Well in
1998, after deciding it didn’t meet their minimum size
criteria.
In late 2009 Mr Wilson reached an agreement with
Doray Minerals to explore the area. After early drilling
success by Doray, Andy Well subsequently became
one of the highest-grade discoveries of the early 2000’s with a gold endowment of over 800,000oz.
Figure 3: Side Well location map.
The Side Well project has had a very similar exploration history to Andy Well, having been held by Scott Wilson
during periods of exploration by Dominion Mining, WMC and Doray Minerals, among others. Dominion were the
first to discover gold at the Mulga Bill prospect during a regional RAB program. Doray were the first to test the
area seriously with RC drilling, leading to a number of high-grade intersections over a 3km strike length at Mulga
Bill, as well as the discovery of the Matilda prospect. Best results from Doray’s drilling include:
3m @ 35.5g/t Au from 76m in MNAC0463 (Matilda prospect)
5m @ 6.69g/t Au from 110m in MNAC0454 (Mulga Bill prospect)
14m @ 5.30g/t Au from 86m in SWRC012 (Mulga Bill prospect)
10m @ 3.41g/t Au from 185m in SWRC006 (Mulga Bill prospect).

during
exploration
The Mulga Bill area was drilled sporadically by
Doray
and
development phase of Andy Well. After 2013
there was little field activity, with Doray
becoming more active at the Gnaweeda
project, closer to Andy Well, and also at their
new Deflector project near Yalgoo. Doray
eventually relinquished their interest in Side
Well in 2015.
The better intersections in Doray’s drilling are
situated within the southern half of the Mulga
Bill prospect. This area was drilled on 400m
fences, leaving large gaps – and consequently
significant potential for strike extensions – in
the current drilling coverage. Great Boulder’s
exploration program is based upon using RC
drilling
zones of
mineralization, and cheaper air-core drilling
to drill infill fences on a 200m line spacing
prior to drilling RC in previously untested
areas. The air-core results will be used to fine-
tune the subsequent phases of RC, reducing
wasted metres and making exploration more
cost-efficient.

under-explored or completely untested. These include:
Outside the known prospects at Mulga Bill
and Matilda, Side Well has a range of
conceptual targets which to date are either
Jones Well: at the northern end of the Side Well project the greenstone belt thins, with granites to the east and
west, while wrapping around a smaller ovoid granite that has intruded the greenstones. This structural disruption
of the BIF’s and associated mafics presents potential dilational pressure shadows which are classic focal points
for mineralising fluids. Dominion and WMC conducted limited work in the area including a soil sampling program
- which identified anomalous gold in soils - and a small RAB program, but there has been no subsequent follow-
up.
The chert/BIF unit passing through the Matilda prospect continues south to the Paddy’s Flat area, and to the
north it folds around the outside of the Pollele Syncline, passing down the eastern side of Side Well in the
direction of Gabanintha. On the eastern side the stratigraphy can be seen in sub-crop or shallow residual soils.
Despite being worked by local prospectors for gold nuggets there is no record of any modern exploration in this
location.
The total strike length from north to south within the Side Well project is over 25km, much of it unexplored.
YAMARNA CU-NI-CO PROJECT
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). EGMC are gradually diluting their interest as GBR continue exploring the project.
The Mt Venn and Eastern Mafic discoveries are both located within the project area.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2020

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.
and
nickel
copper,
Extensive
cobalt
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, the Company
completed an auger soil survey over the
northern part of Mt Venn, in the vicinity of a
previous drilling intersection which contained
2m @ 2.13% Zn and 0.39% Pb. This unusual
base metals occurrence, hosted within
gabbronorite close to the regional contact with
felsic volcaniclastics, had never been followed
up. The auger program was designed to test the
possibility that the Zn-Pb result might be
connected to a VMS setting.
The auger data identified a copper anomaly
with a peak value of 638ppm Cu in the same
area as the zinc
intersection. Subsequent
analysis of the geochemistry indicated that the
base metals are not related to a VMS
environment, and there has been no further
exploration carried out on the prospect.
During the coming year Great Boulder intends
to recommence a target generation program
at Yamarna to consider new opportunities to grow advance the project. A geological consultant will be tasked
with revisiting all the previous work done at Mt Venn and the Eastern Mafic Complex. Once this process is
complete the Company will prioritise all available drill targets to develop a refreshed exploration strategy for the
Yamarna and Winchester projects.

WINCHESTER CU-NI-CO 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.
The primary focus at the Winchester Project has been the Winchester prospect, where sulphide mineralisation
was initially discovered by Ausgold. Follow-up drilling by Great Boulder in 2019 included the following results:
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.
In March 2020 four holes were drilled at the Winchester prospect to follow up these early results and test the

down-plunge continuity of the sulphides. Two RC holes were drilled to the north and northwest of Winchester,
while two deeper RC-Diamond holes were drilled to test targets down plunge.
Diamond hole 20WNRCD002 intersected 4.4m @ 0.8% Cu, 4.7g/t Ag, 0.08% Ni and 0.01% Co from 201.86m
within the main sulphide shoot, including 1.14m @ 1.3% Cu and 6.7g/t Ag in a higher grade zone.
This mineralisation sits approximately 250m down-plunge from the interpreted top of the shoot, or 80m down-
plunge from the nearest drill hole. Mineralisation remains open to the west and at depth.
Hole 20WNRCD001 was designed to test the structure approximately 100m east and down-plunge of
20WNRCD002. This hole did not intersect any significant Cu-Ni mineralisation. It was extended through a black
shale marker horizon to allow a down-hole EM survey to be conducted at a later date, to test for further sulphide
conductors at depth.
A reinterpretation of the Winchester shoot suggests that the deeper hole, 20WNRCD001, passed underneath the
mineralised position. If this is the case, down-hole EM should detect any sulphides proximal to the hole.
The program was terminated early because of access restrictions associated with Coronavirus, and there has
been no further field activity at Winchester since then. The down-hole EM program is expected to be completed
in early 2021.

Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure
Refer to Note 10 in the financial statements
The Company has:
Capitalised a significant amount of exploration
and evaluation expenditure, with a carrying
value of $5,482,468 as at 30 June 2020; and
Recognised an impairment loss on exploration
and evaluation expenditure of $1,534,421 for
the year ended 30 June 2020.
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;

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 2020, 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: https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. This
description forms part of our auditor's report.

12 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.
AASB 16 Leases
The entity has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees
eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of
low-value assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of
financial position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge for
the right-of-use assets (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities
(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 improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest
expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the interest
portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal portion of the lease payments are separately
disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor
accounts for leases.
Impact of adoption
AASB 16 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such the comparatives have not been
restated. The impact of adoption on opening retained profits as at 1 July 2019 was as follows:
Operating lease commitments as at 1 July 2019 (AASB 117)
Short-term leases not recognised as a right-of-use asset (AASB 16)
Right-of-use assets (AASB 16)
Lease liabilities (AASB 16)

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020.
The Company’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretation,
most relevant to the Company, are set out below.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2020
34
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020
and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as
well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the Company has relied
on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are
not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the Company may need to review such
policies under the revised framework. At this time, application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
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 $2,312,943 and had net cash outflows
from operating activities and investing activities of $591,711 and $1,250,827 respectively for the year ended 30
June 2020. As at that date the Group had net current assets of $488,012.
The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Company will continue as a going concern and
that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report due to the
successful completion of transactions which raised $2,348,051 (before costs) through the issue of shares
subsequent to year-end, as disclosed in Note 22.
(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 29 September 2020 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.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2020
35
(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.
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)
Government grants
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or less over the period necessary to
match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
(e)
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.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2020
36
(f)
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
decision is made.
(g)
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.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2020
37
(h)
Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at
cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred,
and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling
and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the entity expects to obtain ownership of the
leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are
subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases
with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to
profit or loss as incurred.
(i)
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.
(j)
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.
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.
(k)
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.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2020
38
(l)
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.
(m)
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).
(n)
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.
(o)
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.
(p)
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
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.
(q)
Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the
present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate
implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease
payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend
on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase
option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties.
The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they
are incurred.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2020
39
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are
remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a
rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease
liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
(r)
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.
(s)
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.
(t)
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.
(u)
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.
(v)
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.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2020
40
Other long-term employee benefits
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 2020
41
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or
may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of
the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the
consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be
either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events
or conditions which may impact the Company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result
of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
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.

As the company has relinquished the Tarmoola Joint Venture ($1,069,714), Mt Carlon
project ($365,621) and Mt Jewell ($99,086) (2019: Jundee South project), the capitalised
mineral exploration and evaluation 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.

On 14 July the Company announced it had entered into an option agreement to acquire a 75% joint venture
interest in Side Well, a gold project located in Meekatharra. The Company is committed to spending a minimum
of $200,000 on in-ground expenditure within the first 12 months.
On 20 August 2020 the company placed 30,943,041 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.043 to raise $1,330,551.
The Company issued 22,242,278 fully paid ordinary shares under a non-renounceable entitlement offer to raise
$956,420, which was completed on 16 September 2020.
A further 1,420,457 fully paid ordinary shares were issued at $0.043 to raise $61,080 on 17 September 2020.
On 28 August 2020 The Company issued 1,000,000 unlisted options with an exercise price of $0.075 expiring on

A further 1,000,000 unlisted options were issued on 17 September 2020 with an exercise price of $0.10 expiring
30 September 2020 as consideration for services as lead manager of the recent capital raising.
The impact of Coronavirus (COVDI-19) pandemic is ongoing. The Company slowed exploration activities during
April to June 2020 whilst the Western Australian lockdown was temporarily in place, but has since resumed
normal operating activities. It is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the
reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the State and
Federal Governments, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any
economic stimulus that may be provided.
There were no other significant changes to the state of affairs, during or subsequent to the end of the reporting
period, other than what has been reported in other parts of this report.

24. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The company has no contingent assets or contingent liabilities.
25. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The company’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. The
company manages its exposure to key financial risks 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 while protecting
future financial security.
The main risks arising from the company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The company uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed.
These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rates and assessments of market forecasts for interest
rates. Ageing analysis of and monitoring of receivables 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 summarized below.
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.
Great Boulder Resources Limited – Annual Report 2020
50
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.
