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 to 
30 June 2021. 

The  past  year  has  been  transformational  for  Great  Boulder.  The  Blue  Poles  discovery  at  Whiteheads  was 
confirmed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling in late 2020, followed by the discovery of high-grade zones at the 
Mulga Bill prospect at Side Well. Mulga Bill is shaping up as a company-making opportunity, with indications of 
significant  size  potential  and  extremely  high-grade  gold  zones.  Mineralisation  is  open  along  strike  in  both 
directions. 

Highlights during the year include: 

  Very high grade RC intersections in early drilling at Side Well 
o  3m @ 34.5g/t Au from 32m (21MBAC022) 
o  6m @ 31.2g/t Au from 130m (21BPRC002) 
o  8m @ 7.51g/t Au from 68m (21MBRC016) 

  The Blue Poles gold discovery at Whiteheads, with gold mineralisation defined in a broad, shallow zone 

over 600m of strike with drill hits such as 

o  40m @ 1.18g/t Au from 40m (21BPRC004) 
o  40m @ 1.15g/t Au from 44m, including 24m @ 1.54g/t Au (21BPRC014) 
o  36m @ 1.09g/t Au from 28m, including 8m @ 2.20g/t Au (21BPRC008) 

Subsequent to the end of financial year the Company reported a spectacular intersection of 3m @ 149.89g/t Au 
at Side Well within a broader zone of 14m @ 36.12g/t Au from 91m (21MBRC034). That hole also intersected a 
second, lower zone assaying 6m @ 24.33g/t Au. 

In light of the ongoing success at both gold projects the Directors decided to exercise the Company’s option to 
acquire a 75% interest in the Whiteheads and Side Well tenements from Zebina Minerals Pty Ltd. 

The  results  achieved  at  both  projects  this  year  are  the  result  of  methodical  exploration  using  all  available 
geophysical and geochemical information to define gold targets as discretely as possible prior to RC drilling. This 
process allows the Company to maximise exploration efficiency and its success is spectacularly demonstrated 
with the second RC hole at Mulga Bill intersecting 6m @ 31.2g/t Au from 132m in 21MBRC002. 

In April the Company pegged tenements over a very large area of the Earaheedy Basin in Western Australia, a 
region which has the potential to become a world-class zinc-lead province. The new Wellington Project covers 
1,134km2 including a 60km strike extent of the prospective Frere Formation. The tenements are expected to be 
granted during the coming year. 

Subsequent to the end of the reporting year the Company announced its intention to demerge the Yamarna base 
metals  projects  into  a  new  stand-alone  entity,  Cosmo  Metals  Ltd,  which  will  be  dedicated  to  advancing  the 
discoveries at Mt Venn, Eastern Mafic and also Winchester. Cosmo Metals is expected to be listed on the ASX in 
late 2021.

2  Review of Operations  

SIDE WELL GOLD PROJECT 
The Side Well project consists of a single tenement E51/1905, located east-northeast of Meekatharra in Western 
Australia.  Side  Well  covers  an  area  of  132km2  including  approximately  25km  of  strike  coverage  over  the 
Meekatharra-Wydgee greenstone belt. 

The  Meekatharra  region  is  a  highly  prospective 
goldfield, having produced around 4 million ounces of 
gold with more than 2.7 million ounces remaining in 
published  resources1.  Gold  production  has  mainly 
focused on the western side of the greenstone belt, 
where gold is often hosted in banded iron formation 
(BIF).  

is  an  area  dominated  by 
The  Polelle  Syncline 
intermediate volcaniclastics. Side Well lies within the 
eastern limb of the syncline and is partially blanketed 
by a thin layer of alluvial cover. As a result, the project 
remains  vastly  under-explored  relative  to  its  gold 
potential. 

After acquiring an option to explore Side Well in July 
2020 the Company commenced drilling the following 
month, with a 12-hole RC validation program testing 
grade continuity around previous intersections drilled 
by Doray Minerals. Immediately after this an Air-Core 
(AC) rig was mobilised to site to commence the first of 
three large campaigns of infill drilling.  

Much of the historic drilling is on drill lines 400m apart 
is  no  detailed  assay  or  geological 
and  there 
information to confirm the strike, dip or depth extent 
of  gold  mineralisation  at  Mulga  Bill.  With  a  broad 
diffuse  halo  of  supergene  gold  anomalism  sitting  in 
the weathered zone over a potential  bedrock target 
area  3.7km  long  and  600m  wide,  targeting  primary 
mineralisation  accurately  at  depth  was  a  significant 
challenge. This challenge was overcome by drilling a pattern of AC holes to blade refusal in order to sample the 
top of the fresh rock – often 90 to 110m down-hole – and assay the samples for a suite of 48 pathfinder elements. 
The Company was able to generate contours of pathfinder elements associated with primary gold mineralisation, 
narrowing down the prospect area to a series of discrete, north-south-trending gold targets. 

Figure 2: Side Well location map. 

Having completed over 160 AC holes at Side Well, mainly in the central portion of the Mulga Bill prospect, the 
Company commenced testing the primary targets with RC drilling in early 2021. This drilling led to immediate 
success, with hole 21MBRC002 intersecting a 6m zone averaging 31.2g/t Au beneath an AC hole (21MBAC022) 
which intersected 3m @ 24.5g/t Au. 

By  June  30,  46  RC  holes  had  been  completed  in  the  central  area  of  Mulga  Bill,  defining  two  sub-parallel 
mineralised zones up to 1,000m long immediately south of a Proterozoic dyke which bisects the prospect. These 
target zones are the priority for ongoing RC drilling, while AC programs continue to extend Mulga Bill along strike 
to the north and south.

Figure 3: Recent RC drilling results from the central Mulga Bill high-grade zones. 

Analysis of Great Boulder’s multi-element geochemical data by consulting geochemist Dr Scott Halley led to a 
breakthrough  in  June  this  year.  The  geochemistry  demonstrates  a  strong  association  between  gold  and  the 
pathfinder elements bismuth, molybdenum and silver as well as copper and arsenic. This association is a classic 
geochemical signature of intrusive-related gold systems (IRGS), a style of deposit not previously recognised at 
Meekatharra. This development is an extremely positive advance in the Company’s understanding of Mulga Bill, 
as IRGS deposits tend to have significant depth continuity as well as size potential. St Ives in the Kambalda area 
of Western Australia is a well-known cluster of large IRGS deposits. However the Company is still working to 
better understand the scale of Mulga Bill before making any specific comparisons. 

Subsequent to 30 June 2021 the Company completed a detailed gravity survey over the Side Well project in order 
to define possible magmatic intrusions at depth beneath Mulga Bill; the theoretical “heat engines” driving the 
regional mineralising system. Final processing and interpretation of the gravity data is still in progress. 

At Mulga Bill the Company has defined gold and pathfinder anomalism over more than 5km of strike, with the 
system open to the north and south as well as at depth. Given the size and depth potential of the system as well 
as  the  very  high-grade  structures  already  identified  in  early  drilling,  Mulga  Bill  has  potential  to  be  a 
transformational discovery for Great Boulder. 

Outside  of  Mulga  Bill the Company’s  exploration strategy  at  Side  Well  is  designed  to  identify  and  progress  a 
pipeline  of  prospects,  from  conceptual  targets  through  to  discovery  and  definition.  Current  targets  include 
Matilda, which was discovered in regional drilling by Doray Minerals with an intersection of 3m @ 35.5g/t Au 
from 76m in hole MNAC0463. There  has been insufficient  drilling to understand the mineralisation style and 
potential at Matilda, but this intersection remains open along strike with no effective drilling within 400m to the 
north or south.

Elsewhere, the northern end of the Side Well project contains a number of conceptual structural target areas, 
where  small  intrusive  bodies  and  cross-cutting  faults  disrupt  the  prospective  mafic-banded  iron  formation 
stratigraphy. A broad-spaced soil sampling program completed in April 2021 on a 400m (north-south) by 50m 
(east-west) grid identified a number of pathfinder anomalies which are now being infilled with additional soil 
sampling to 200 by 50m prior to initial drill testing.

WHITEHEADS GOLD PROJECT 
The  450km2  Whiteheads  project  north  of  Kalgoorlie  is  an  amalgamation  of  tenements  including  a  farm-in 
agreement with Mithril Resources Ltd on the western half of Whiteheads and a 75% joint venture with Zebina 
Minerals Pty Ltd in the east. Both agreements were executed in late 2019. 

Whiteheads is a large project with significant potential for gold and nickel. Straddling the boundary between the 
Kalgoorlie and Kurnalpi terranes, Whiteheads has previously been explored for komatiite-hosted nickel at the 
Wishbone and Drumstick prospects within the Kalgoorlie Terrane. The Carr Boyd nickel project in the Kurnalpi 
Terrane immediately north of Whitehead highlights untested potential for magmatic-hosted nickel sulphides. 
The project includes a number of small-scale historic workings dating back to the early 1900’s particularly on the 
trend running from Seven Leaders in the north-eastern area of Whiteheads down to the Gindalbie mining centre 
in the southeast. 

Much of the exploration conducted by previous explorers at Whiteheads has focused on gold exploration on the 
eastern half of the project, within the Kurnalpi terrane, and nickel exploration on the western half within the 
Kalgoorlie terrane. Interestingly, this means that a large portion of the western side of Whiteheads has received 
very little attention from gold explorers. 

Great  Boulder’s  exploration  at  Whiteheads  has 
been  primarily  focused  on  the  gold  potential. 
Initial auger sampling and drilling on the Arsenal 
Trend  in  the  north-eastern  area of Whiteheads 
led  to  the  discovery  of  Blue  Poles,  which  was 
defined by three rounds of RC drilling from late 
2020.  Blue  Poles  is  a  broad,  plunging  cigar-
shaped shoot of gold mineralisation up to 45m 
wide over a strike extent of approximately 600m, 
with  recent  deeper  drilling  to  the  south 
indicating  potential  for  higher  grade  primary 
mineralisation to the south. 

A detailed gravity survey completed in early 2021 
confirmed  the  Arsenal  Trend  as  a  significant 
regional structure, with a corridor of interpreted 
felsic 
intrusions  plunging  south  and  driving 
mineralisation along the trend. In addition to the 
gravity  interpretation,  further  evidence  of  this 
system is provided by high-temperature mineral 
alteration seen in petrography at Blue Poles on 
the  northern  end  of  the  trend,  with 
low-
temperature  multi-element  geochemistry  seen 
in  auger  sampling  at  the  southern  end  of  the 
trend. This data supports Great Boulder’s model 
of a large-scale system driving mineralising fluids 
from  north  to  south,  parallel  to  regional 
stratigraphy,  reflected  in  a  temperature  gradient  from  north to  south  as  well as  the  surface  gold  anomalism 
identified in work completed to date. 

Figure 5: Whiteheads project location. 

With an overall potential strike length of approximately 22km stretching from the Gunners prospect in the north 
to  the  Four  Dudes  prospect  in  the  south,  much  of  the  Arsenal  Trend  has  not  yet  been  tested  by  either  soil 
geochemistry  or  drilling.  The  southernmost  line of  AC  drilling  situated  between  the  cross-cutting  Proterozoic 
dykes is less than halfway down the trend. Great Boulder is hoping to find a number of Blue Poles-type discoveries 
down this trend which remains a key priority for ongoing exploration at Whiteheads.

Figure  6:  A  gravity  image  showing  the  eastern  side  of  Whiteheads 
demonstrates the size potential of the Arsenal Trend. 

Away  from  the  Arsenal  Trend,  regional  target  generation  and  auger  sampling  is  continuing  on  a  number  of 
priority areas. Recent auger sampling has returned encouraging results at Jubilee North and Hillsborough, with 
ongoing programs further west in the Wishbone area and in the south-east near the historic Eclipse workings.  

At  Jubilee  North,  a  broad  semi-circular  magnetic  feature  with  coincident  auger  anomalism  in  a  conceptual 
“pressure shadow” position on the eastern side, first-pass AC drilling on two wide-spaced fences returned a best 
result of 4m @ 2.11g/t Au from 52m in hole 21WHAC809. This result from initial drilling on such a large target 
area is very encouraging and further work is planned.

Figure 7: The Jubilee North prospect has previously been interpreted 
as  a  circular  porphyry  intrusion.  Anomalous  gold  mineralisation 
occupies  a  possible  pressure  shadow  position  on  the  south-eastern 
side of the feature. 

While  exploration  results  during  the  year  have  positioned  Side  Well  as  the  number  one  priority  for  ongoing 
exploration, Great Boulder remains focused on continuing the systematic exploration of Whiteheads in parallel 
with drilling programs at Side Well. Whiteheads is an extremely prospective exploration project which remains 
highly under-explored relative to its potential.

WELLINGTON ZINC-LEAD PROJECT 

The Wellington Project is located in the Earaheedy Bason in central Western Australia, an area with the potential 
to become a world-class zinc-lead province. 

A desktop study of GSWA derived geochemical data by Great Boulder's geologists in 2020 identified a large target 
in  the  Earaheedy  Basin  similar  to  Rumble  Resources'  recent  large-scale  Zn-Pb  discovery  at  Chinook.  With 
increased  focus  on  the  Earaheedy  following  significant  exploration  success  by  Rumble  in  early  2021,  Great 
Boulder made the decision to peg this target in April 2021. 

At Wellington the Company has three tenements covering an area of 1,134km2 including 60km of prospective 
strike  of  the  Frere  Formation.  The  tenements  are  currently  in  application.  Once  granted,  Great  Boulder  will 
commence exploration with field reconnaissance and surface sampling to identify targets for drill testing. 

Given the scale of Rumble's early stage discovery, Great Boulder considers the Earaheedy Basin to be potentially 
a world-class Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) Zn-Pb province.

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) and its subsidiaries (the 
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and 
the consolidated 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 Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including:  

(i)  giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group's  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2021  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 Group 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 Group has capitalised a significant amount of 
exploration and evaluation expenditure, with a 
carrying value of $9,613,815 as at 30 June 2021.  

We determined 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 included: 

  Obtaining  evidence  that  the  Group  has  valid 

rights to explore in the specific area; 

  Agreeing  a  sample  of  additions  to  supporting 
documentation  and  ensuring  the  amounts  are 
capital in nature and relate to the area of interest; 

  Assessing  and  evaluating  management’s 
assessment  that  no  indicators  of  impairment 
existed for those tenements where the Group has 
current rights of tenure; 

  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  management  and  reviewing 
budgets and plans to test that the Group 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 Group had not 
resolved  to  discontinue  activities  in  the  specific 
area. 

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Share-based payment 

Refer to Note 17(b) in the financial statements

During  the  year,  the  Company  granted  21,251,600 
options. The fair value of options granted during the 
year was: 

  $864,377 of which $106,127 was expensed 
in  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or 
loss and other comprehensive income;  

  $605,714  capitalised  as  exploration  and 
evaluation  expenditure  in  the  consolidated 
statement of financial position, and  

  $348,963  recognised  as  share  issue  costs 
in the statement of changes in equity.

management  and  assessing  whether  the  models 
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 Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, 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 Group 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 Group 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  

Great  Boulder  Resources  Limited  (the  “Company”)  and  its  legal  subsidiaries  together  are  referred  to  in  this 
financial report as the Group. 

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. 

Great Boulders Resources Limited is a for profit public Company, limited by shares and domiciled in Australia. 

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 

The Group 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. 

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 Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The 
Group's has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations. 

(a) 

Basis of preparation 

These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australia Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations 
Act  2001,  as  appropriate  for  for-profit  oriented  entities.  These  financial  statements  also  comply  with  the 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

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 2021 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. 

Principles of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Great Boulder 
Resources Limited (‘Company' or 'Parent Entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year 
then  ended.  Great  Boulder  Resources  Limited  and  its  subsidiaries  together  are  referred  to  in  these  financial 
statements as the 'Group'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 
is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect 
those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the 
date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 
Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised gains  on transactions  between  entities  in  the  Group  are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of 
the  asset  transferred.  Accounting  policies  of  subsidiaries  have  been  changed  where  necessary  to  ensure 
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

The  acquisition  of  subsidiaries  is  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting.  A  change  in 
ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference 
between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired 
is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. 

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of 
the Group. Losses incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results 
in a deficit balance. 

Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-
controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. 
The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained 
together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

(b) 

Income tax 

The Group 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 Group 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.

 38 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 Group 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 Group 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  Group, 
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 Group 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. 

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  Group  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. 

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. 

(w) 

Parent entity information 

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. 
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 28.

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 Group 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 Group 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 Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of 
the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 

3.  SEGMENT INFORMATION 

The Group 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 Group operates as a single segment which is mineral exploration and in a single geographical location which 
is Australia.

(i) 

The Company incurred acquisition costs relating to the following projects: 

a.  Whiteheads Project:  

In the prior year, on 23 August 2019, the Company had entered into an agreement with Zebina 
Minerals Pty Ltd (“Zebina”) granting the Company with the exclusive right to acquire a 75% legal 
and  beneficial  interest  in  exploration  licences  E27/544,  E27/588  and  E27/622  (together  the 
“Whiteheads Project”).   
Total consideration in the prior year of $100,000 comprised of;  

  $50,000 cash, and  
  980,392 fully paid ordinary shares with a fair value of $50,000 (refer to note 17). 

On 23 February 2021, the Company exercised its option to acquire a 75% legal and beneficial 
interest in the Whiteheads Project.   
Total consideration of $805,714 comprised of;  

  $200,000 cash,  
  5,714,286 fully paid ordinary shares with a fair value of $200,000 (refer to note 17), 

and  

  5,714,286 options exercisable at $0.0542 each expiring 19 May 2024 with a fair value 

of $405,714 (refer to note 17).   

In addition to the above, cash payments totalling $50,000 were also capitalised during the year, 
representing extensions to the option term. 

b.  Side Well Project 

On 14 July 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Zebina granting the Company 
with  the  exclusive  right  to  acquire  a  75%  legal  and  beneficial  interest  in  exploration  licence 
E51/1905 (the “Side Well Project”). 
Total consideration of $100,000 was paid in cash. 

Refer to note 26 for the subsequent exercise of this option. 

c.  Mt Jewell Project 

In  the  prior  year, on  6  February  2020, the  Company  entered  into  an  agreement  with  Simon 
Buswell-Smith  granting  the  Company  with  the  exclusive  right  to  acquire  a  75%  legal  and 
beneficial interest in exploration licence E27/566 (the “Mt Jewell Project”).

(ii) 

In the prior year, the Company relinquished the Tarmoola Joint Venture ($1,069,714), Mt Carlon 
Project ($365,621) and Mt Jewell Project ($99,086).  As such, the capitalised mineral exploration and 
evaluation expenditure in relation to these areas of interest has been impaired.   

In the current year, the Company recognised a receivable under the Research and Development Tax 
Incentive, of which $109,918 related to areas of interest that were previously impaired. 

The ultimate recoupment of exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward is dependent on successful 
development and commercial exploration or, alternatively, sale of the respective areas.

During the year, 5,000,000 options (2020: 6,000,000) were granted to directors and employees as incentive for 
services  provided  and  expensed  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other  Comprehensive 
Income.  The fair value of the services could not be reliably measured and therefore, a Lattice ESO model was 
used to determine the value of the options issued during the year ended 30 June 2021 and a Black-Scholes option 
pricing model for those issued during the year ended 30 June 2020.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. The 
Group  manages its  exposure  to key financial risks  in accordance  with the  Group’s financial risk management 
policy. The  objective of the  policy is to support the delivery of the  Group’s financial targets while  protecting 
future financial security.  

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. 
The Group 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 Group is not exposed to interest rate risk. 

(b) 

Credit risk exposure 

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise deposits with banks and trade and other 
receivables.  The  Group’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 Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation 
to those assets. 

The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. 

The Group 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 Group 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 Group and the Group’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 Group 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 Group'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.
