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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 2020, 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  2020  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. 

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.

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;  

  Enquiring  with  and  assessing  management’s 
basis  on  which  they  have  determined  that  the 
exploration and evaluation of exploration projects 
Tarmoola, Mt Jewell and Mt Carlon 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. 

Share-based payment 

Refer to Note 26(b) in the financial statements

During  the  year  the  Company  issued  6,000,000 
options  at  a  value  of  $146,200  to  the  managing 
director.

were  appropriate  for  valuing  the  options  granted

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) 
Reduction in opening retained profits as at 1 July 2019

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.

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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

 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.

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.

The  consideration  includes  $50,000  paid  as  ordinary  shares  under  the  Heads  of 
Agreement. 
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 
28 August 2023 under the Company’s Employee Incentive Plan.   

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.

 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.

the year. Expense was recognised in full. 

The model inputs for the 2,000,000 options granted during the year ended 30 June 2020 included: 

(i)  Options are granted for no consideration. 
(ii)  Exercise price - exercise price is equal to 150% of the VWAP of fully paid ordinary shares traded 
on ASX over the five business days prior to 30 June 2020 on which shares are traded ASX ($0.084) 

(iii) Expected price volatility of the company’s shares:  93.7% 
(iv) Risk-free interest rate: 0.72%
