DIRECTORS(cid:146) REPORT

The Directors of Hannans Ltd (Hannans or the Company) submit their annual financial report of the Group being the 
Company and its controlled entities for the financial year ended 30 June 2018. 

Dear Shareholders, 

We continue our efforts to develop Hannans into a West Australian based mining company through exploration  
success, project acquisition or joint venture. 

Our current and principal focus centres on exploration for lithium at the Mt Holland project located 400kms  
east of Perth and 150kms south of Southern Cross.  

The Mt Holland area has a global following due to the decision by the world(cid:146)s largest producer of lithium,  
the New York Stock Exchange listed SQM to invest into the Mt Holland Lithium Project owned by Australian  
listed company Kidman Resources Ltd. Earl Grey is a world class hard rock lithium deposit and will underpin  
a fully integrated lithium business. 

Hannans is exploring the margins of two granites that may be source of the pegmatites hosting the  
lithium mineralisation at Earl Grey. Our aim is to discover another economic lithium deposit at Mt  
Holland and if we do, the value of your Company is likely to increase significantly.  

Hannans also holds a 20% free-carried interest in the Forrestania Gold project. Our joint venture  
partner Classic Minerals Ltd has been successful this year with a number of high grade gold results.  
Whilst drilling activities continue, Hannans shareholders remain exposed to future exploration  
success. Hannans is free carried until a decision to mine has been made. Whilst solid progress  
continues to be made by our joint venture partner, we do not anticipate a funding requirement  
within the next 12 months.  

The nickel price and sentiment for nickel stocks generally is thought to be in an upward trend  
due to the perceived increase in demand for the nickel required in rechargeable batteries.  
Whilst we started a joint venture process for the Company(cid:146)s Forrestania and Queen Victoria  
Rocks nickel projects, no arrangement has been formalised. We remain hopeful agreement  
can be reached by the end of the year. 

Hannans completed a capital raising in November 2017 at a price of 1.27 cents per share.  
Our sincere thanks to all shareholders who participated in the raising. We acknowledge  
the support provided by Euroz Securities in Perth and Arlington Group Asset Management  
in London.  

Your Board will continue to investigate potential acquisition opportunities that have  
potential to add to stakeholder value. We believe we have the necessary technical  
and corporate support to successfully execute and implement a major transaction. 

Once again, and on behalf of my fellow Directors, we thank you for continued  
interest and support. 

Yours sincerely, 

Jonathan Murray 
Chairman

STRATEGIC PLAN 

VISION 

Our vision is to build a successful exploration and production company. 

MISSION 

Our mission is to develop a company that has a material interest in a portfolio of mineral projects that are 
being rapidly progressed whether they are exploration, development or production assets. 

We recognise that a professional, knowledgeable and ethical team of directors, employees and consultants 
is the key to our business. 

Our focus is to provide shareholders with excellent return on investment by managing our people, projects 
and capital in an entrepreneurial and responsible manner. We aim to generate free cash from our activities 
and return that cash to shareholders.

To attract and retain a professional, knowledgeable and ethical team of 
experts whilst empowering staff at all levels.  

To  continually  build  an  understanding  of  our  strategic  partners(cid:146)  needs 
and  wants  and  thereafter  conduct  business  in  a  fair,  transparent  and 
ethical manner. 

To  access  prospective  mineral  exploration  and  development 
opportunities in Australia. 

To  implement  an  effective  acquisition  program  that  secures  access  to 
projects that have the potential to host significant economic deposits.  

To add value by identifying, accessing and exploring projects that have 
potential  to  host  significant  economic  deposits  and  then  seek  partners 
to diversify project risk.  

To  retain  a  financial  interest  in  projects  but  not  necessarily  an 
operational responsibility.  

To  conduct  our  affairs  in  a  responsible  manner  taking  into  account 
various stakeholder rights and beliefs.  

To  create  shareholder  wealth  as  measured  by  the  potential  of  our 
projects, the strength of our balance sheet and share price. 

To  maintain  sufficient  funding  and  working  capital  to  implement 
exploration and development programs through the peaks and troughs 
in sentiment and commodity prices fluctuations.  

Ultimately, Hannans is aiming to identify a world-class mineral deposit. 

Successful implementation of the strategic plan would see Hannans develop a portfolio of projects that it is 
sole funding, contributing to funding to maintain a joint venture interest, holding a free carried interest, a 
royalty interest or an equity interest in the company that owns the project. 

The  ability  to  implement  the  strategic  plan  is  determined  by  Hannans  ability  to  access  future  funding. 
Hannans  needs  to  fund  continued  exploration  and  development  of  its  project  pipeline  through  equity 
raisings, project sales, joint venture expenditure and royalties.

DIRECTORS(cid:146) REPORT 

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Hannans(cid:146) focus throughout the  year has been on lithium at its Mt Holland Project in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia. This has 
included  interpreting  data  sets  from  a  combination  of  geophysics  (airborne  magnetics  and  radiometrics),  geochemistry  (from  RAB, 
aircore and reverse circulation drilling) and geology (from field mapping and the logging of drill samples).  

Hannans(cid:146)  joint  venture  partner  Classic  Minerals  Ltd  (ASX:CLZ)  has  been  actively  exploring  for  gold  at  Forrestania  and  has  made  a 
number  of  encouraging  gold  intercepts.  Hannans  holds  a  20%  free-carried  interest  in  gold  rights  at  the  Forrestania  Gold  Project, 
meaning Hannans shareholders are exposed to exploration success without the need to fund additional costs, until a decision to mine 
has been made.  

Exploration completed by Hannans and its joint venture partners during the year ended 30 June 2018 is set out below: 

July 2017

(cid:127) Gold at Forrestania

Joint venture partner extended high-grade gold zones at the Lady Magdalene deposit.

August 2017

(cid:127) Gold at Forrestania

Joint venture partner completed reverse circulation (RC) drilling at Lady Ada and commenced additional 
drilling at Lady Magdalene. Drilling targeted high-grade extensions along strike and down dip at both Lady 
Ada and Lady Magdalene.

September 2017

(cid:127) Lithium at Mt Holland

Phase 2 drilling commenced targeting a geological position like that hosting the Earl Grey lithium deposit. 
Drilling comprised six traverses of rotary air blast (RAB) drilling (approximately 3,000 metres) to validate 
the phase 1 soil anomalies. Drill holes were terminated at the interface of the softer weathered (oxidised) 
rock and the hard fresh rock (the expected average depth was 50 metres). Samples were taken from the 
last four metres of each drill hole, as this is the most reliable zone to assess whether the fresh rock 
contains pegmatites hosting lithium. 

October 2017

(cid:127) Lithium at Mt Holland

Drilling appeared to have intersected a fertile peraluminous granite which is important when exploring for 
pegmatites hosting lithium. An updated interpretation of the (cid:145)margin(cid:146) of the granite intrusion was 
prepared to aid future exploration targeting. 

Exploration was focussed approximately 4km west of the interpreted margin of the granite intrusion 
located on the eastern side of Hannans tenement E77/2219. Accurately mapping the margin of the 
granite is important because it is this distance (i.e. 4km) from the margin that appears to be the distance 
necessary to allow for cooling of the pegmatites sourced from the granite, and for differential 
crystallization of exotic minerals including spodumene (an important lithium mineral). Much of the area 
within the Hannans tenure is covered by windblown sands and thick scrub so identifying outcropping rocks 
(including granites and pegmatites) is challenging. 

Assay results from the phase 2 drilling were received. Six traverses of drilling were completed with the 
holes spaced at 50 and 100 metre intervals. The holes were drilled to recognisable material and drilling 
depths averaged 50 metres. Much of the material in the holes appeared to be oxidized granite only (i.e. 
not pegmatitic rocks) as evidenced by the quartz, kaolinitic clays and occasional mica. If the partially 
oxidized bottom of hole samples is representative of the underlying granite, then the granite is 
interpreted to be peraluminous and can therefore be considered fertile.

December 2017

(cid:127) Gold at Forrestania

Drilling by joint venture partner at Lady Ada returned high-grade gold results. 

(cid:127) Lithium at Mt Holland

A major new ground position was secured at Mt Holland East adjacent to the potential source of a globally 
significant lithium deposit. The highly prospective new tenure has not previously been the subject of 
systematic exploration, is free of native title claims and is located outside the Jilbadgi Nature Reserve. 

January 2018

(cid:127) Lithium at Mt Holland

Phase 3 reverse circulation (RC) drilling commenced at Mt Holland West. The initial program comprised 
approximately 15 RC holes to depths ranging from 100 (cid:150) 200 metres. The RC holes were focussed on 
testing the lithium soil anomalies generated in Hannans(cid:146) first two phases of drilling.

A detailed airborne geophysical survey at Mt Holland East project was completed. Flight lines were spaced 
50 metres apart for a total survey of ~7,500 line kilometres covering ~260km2. The survey generated 
detailed magnetic and radiometric data that assisted with mapping rock units to focus future field 
activities. An initial reconnaissance field trip was completed and samples from outcropping rocks were 
collected to gain a better understanding of the underlying geology.

February 2018

(cid:127) Gold at Forrestania

Drilling by joint venture partner at Lady Ada returned high-grade gold results highlighting the potential to 
expand the current Mineral Resource Estimate at the Forrestania Gold Project. Drilling at Lady Magdalene 
commenced with the goal of uncovering high-grade gold mineralisation between existing drill lines.

March 2018

(cid:127) Gold at Forrestania

Joint venture partner completed two diamond drill holes at the Lady Magdalene gold deposit. Drilling 
confirmed high grade cross cutting gold structures like what occurs at Lady Ada located 700 metres south. 
Several mineralisation controls have been identified that upgrade the depth and strike potential of the 
2km-long Lady Magdalene/Lady Ada gold camp.

(cid:127) Lithium at Mt Holland

A major new target zone was identified at Mt Holland East. The target zone represents the intersection of 
(north-south) structures and complex (east-west) dyke system within proximity of margins of granite 
plutons, considered a favourable setting for mineral deposition. The target zone was identified from the 
recently completed detailed airborne geophysical survey. 

Phase 3 reverse circulation (RC) drilling at Mt Holland West intersected pegmatites however no significant 
lithium assays were returned. The program comprised 16 RC drill holes for 1,866 metres in total. The deep 
weathering (up to 80 metres) combined with strong oxidation and leaching of minerals made it very 
difficult to identify lithium minerals in the samples. The depth of weathering of the western granitic pluton 
was greater than anticipated and there was negligible sub-outcrop of granitic rocks. These facts made it 
difficult to achieve satisfactory outcomes from the first reconnaissance drill program.

April 2018

(cid:127) Gold at Forrestania

Joint venture partner commenced a RC drill program at Van Uden West.

May 2018

(cid:127) Gold at Forrestania

Joint venture partner made compelling new gold discovery made at Van Uden West with best results 
including 12m at 5.75 g/t gold from 59m in VUWRC002. The new discovery was covered by a thin veneer 
of transported sands and clays effectively masking the gold mineralisation from surface detection. 

July 2018

(cid:127) Lithium at Mt Holland

Phase 4 reverse circulation (RC) of 14 RC holes was completed. Holes were spaced at approximately 200 
metre intervals along an east-west line and the average hole depth was 120m. It appeared that 
pegmatites were intersected in most of the holes drilled. 

Tenement applications at Mt Holland East were granted and a programme of work for phase 1 drilling 
(aircore) was lodged.

(cid:127) Gold at Forrestania

Joint venture partner uncovered three potential cross-cutting quartz veins at Lady Magdalene similar in 
orientation to the high-grade Lady Ada deposit. The Lady Magdalene main ore zone yielded further thick 
zones of gold mineralisation.

Exploration Expenditure 

In line with the Group(cid:146)s accounting policy, 
Hannans expensed $505,967 on  
mineral exploration activities in 2018  
(2017: $804,102) relating to its  
non-JORC compliant mineral projects  
which included an impairment of  
$28,000 relating to the capitalise  
exploration activities. These  
amounts exclude all administration  
and transaction costs.

Hannans has a joint venture over 
certain tenements at Forrestania with 
Classic Minerals Ltd (ASX:CLZ). The joint 
venture partner has been very active 
and Hannans has released the results of 
their exploration activities to the ASX.  

Hannans has a joint venture for nickel, 
lithium and gold at Lake Johnston with 
Element 25 Ltd (ASX: E25) (previously 
called Montezuma Mining Company 
Ltd). Hannans is free-carried. The joint 
venture partner has completed minimal 
work on the project during the year. 
Hannans will seek to clarify E25(cid:146)s 
intentions with regards this project. 

Hannans has elected to sole fund its 
lithium exploration activities at Mt 
Holland. Capital was raised in 
November 2017 specifically for this 
purpose. There is the potential to create 
a great deal of value for shareholders at 
Mt Holland with the focus on lithium. 
This project currently gives Hannans its 
greatest leverage.  

Hannans continues to seek joint venture 
partners for the Forrestania and Queen 
Victoria Rocks nickel projects. The 
Company expects outcomes on these 
processes this year. 

Hannans has now received full payment 
for the North Ironcap gold rights. This 
matter is now closed.  

Hannans divested its Swedish portfolio 
in September 2016 via an in specie 
distribution into Critical Metals Ltd. It is 
anticipated that this company will list 
on the ASX late 2018 thereby realising 
the first stage of value creation for 
Hannans shareholders that received 
shares via the in specie distribution. 

Hannans will reset its three year Goals at the Annual General Meeting in 2018.

Figure 1. Location Map: Hannans(cid:146) Forrestania Mt Holland Project. 

Lithium at Mt Holland 

The Mt Holland Lithium Project is located adjacent to Earl Grey, one of the most significant hard rock lithium deposits in the world, jointly 
owned by New York Stock Exchange listed SQM and ASX listed Kidman Resources Ltd. Earl Grey will underpin a world-class long-life 
integrated lithium project1. Hannans(cid:146) exploration goal at Mt Holland is to discover a lithium deposit comparable to Earl Grey.  

Hannans(cid:146) major shareholder is Neometals Ltd, a 
leading Australian specialty minerals company 
and minority owner of the producing Mt Marion 
lithium mine.2  

As noted the Earl Grey lithium deposit (shown in 
Figure 2) is one of the most significant hard rock 
lithium deposits in the world. The Bounty mine 
produced more than 1.3M oz of gold and hosts 
significant lithium mineralisation. Hannans(cid:146)  
Mt Holland project is prospective for lithium  
and gold.  

The black dashed lines (shown in Figure 2) 
represent N-S structures identified from the 
recent airborne geophysical survey. The purple 
N-S structures represent known ultramafic units. 
The E-W Dyke contains a complex series of 
dykes within the MHE project. The dykes may be 
using structural weaknesses that have some 
bearing on pegmatite mineralisation, however 
there is no suggestion that the dykes and

Lithium at Mt Holland (cont(cid:146)d) 

Hannans(cid:146) exploration activities are focused on two areas Mt Holland West and Mt Holland East. Both 
projects cover tenure 4km from the interpreted margin of a granite intrusion that may be the source of the 
pegmatites hosting the lithium at Earl Grey. This distance (i.e. 4km) appears to be the distance necessary 
to allow for cooling of the pegmatites sourced from the granite and for differential crystallization of exotic 
minerals including lithium minerals.

Nickel at Forrestania 

The Forrestania Nickel project joins the southern 
portion of Hannans(cid:146) Mt Holland West Project. The 
main area of nickel prospectivity is the interpreted 
northern extension of the western ultramafic unit 
that hosts the Fly Fox and Spotted Quoll high grade 
nickel sulphide mines owned by Western Areas Ltd 
(ASX:WSA). Hannans main nickel target is called the 
Stormbreaker Prospect, which covers 10kms of strike 
in this prospective area. 

There is significant supporting infrastructure in the 
Forrestania region, with good road access and an 
existing electricity network primarily due to past and 
present mining operations. Located to the south of 
the Stormbreaker Prospect area is the Cosmic Boy 
nickel concentrator, which can process 600,000 
tonnes per annum of ore, with the potential to 
expand to 1,000,000 tonnes per annum. 

Gold at Forrestania 

Hannans Ltd (ASX: HNR) owns a 20% interest in the 
Forrestania Gold Project (FGP). Joint venture partner 
Classic Minerals Ltd (ASX:CLZ) is funding all 
exploration and owns an 80% interest in gold rights 
on specific Hannans tenements. For more  
information on the FGP please refer to 
www.classicminerals.com.au. Hannans' interest in 
the FGP joint venture is free-carried, meaning the 
Company is not required to fund any exploration 
activities for gold until a decision to mine has been 
made. Hannans shareholders remain exposed to the 
upside on the FGP joint venture tenements without the requirement to fund exploration. For the avoidance of doubt Hannans Ltd owns a 
100% interest in all non-gold rights on the FGP joint venture tenements and a 100% interest in all mineral rights on non-joint venture 
tenements (generally comprising Mt Holland East). 

ANNUAL RESOURCE STATEMENTS 

Hannans through the joint venture with Classic Minerals Ltd holds a 20% interest in the following JORC resources for the year ended  
30 June 2017 and 30 June 2018.

Additional information 

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. 

A. 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

The  whole  Board  forms  the  Remuneration  Committee.  The  remuneration  policy  has  been  designed  to  align  director  and  executive 
objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component with the flexibility to offer specific long 
term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Group(cid:146)s financial results. The Board believes the remuneration policy to be 
appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors and executives to manage the Group. 

The Board(cid:146)s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executives is as follows: 

¶ 

¶ 

¶ 

¶ 

¶ 

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by 
the  Board.  All  executives  receive  a  base  salary  (which  is  based  on  factors  such  as  length  of  service  and  experience)  and 
superannuation. The Board reviews executive packages annually and determines policy recommendations by reference to executive 
performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. 

The  Board  may  exercise  discretion  in  relation  to  approving  incentives,  bonuses  and  options. The  policy is  designed  to  attract and 
retain the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long term growth in shareholder wealth. 

The  Executive  Director  and  executives  receive  a  superannuation  guarantee  contribution  required  by  the  government  where 
applicable, which is currently 9.5% of base salary and do not receive any other retirement benefits. 

All  remuneration  paid  to  directors  and  executives  is  valued  at  the  cost to  the  Group  and  expensed.  Options  are  valued  using  the 
Black(cid:150)Scholes and Monte Carlo methodology where relevant. 

The  Board  policy  is  to  remunerate  non(cid:150)executive  directors  at  market  rates  for  comparable  companies  for  time,  commitment  and 
responsibilities. The Board determines payments to  the non(cid:150)executive directors and reviews  the remuneration annually, based on 
market practice,  duties  and  accountability.  Independent external  advice  is  sought when  required. No  independent external  advise 
was  sought  during  the  year.  The  maximum  aggregate  amount  of  fees  that  can  be  paid  to  Non(cid:150)Executive  Directors  is  subject  to 
approval  by  shareholders  at  the  Annual  General  Meeting.  The  approved  maximum  aggregate  amount  that  may  be  paid  to  Non-
Executive  Directors  as  remuneration  for  each  financial  year  is  set  at  $250,000  which  may  be  divided  among  the  Non-Executive 
Directors in the manner determined by the Board and Company from time to time. Fees for Non(cid:150)Executive Directors are not linked 
to  the  performance  of  the  Company.  The  2017  remuneration  report  was  approved  at  the  last  Annual  General  Meeting  held  on   
27 October 2017. 

The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  the  direct  positive  relationship  between  shareholders  investment  objectives  and 
directors  and  executive  performance.  The  Company  facilitates  this  through  the  issue  of  options  from  time  to  time  to  the  directors  and 
executives  to  encourage  the  alignment  of  personal  and  shareholder  interests.  The  Company  believes  this  policy  will  be  effective  in 
increasing shareholder wealth. The Company currently has no performance based remuneration component built into director and executive 
remuneration packages. 

The Board does not consider earnings during the current and previous financial years when determining, and in relation to, the nature and 
amount of directors(cid:146) remuneration. Refer below for a summary of the Group(cid:146)s earnings and the Company(cid:146)s market performance for the past

DIRECTORS(cid:146) REPORT 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

The Board of Directors is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board guides and monitors the business affairs of 
the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. 

The ASX document (cid:145)Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 3rd Edition' published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council 
applies  to  listed  entities  with  the  aim  of  enhancing  the  credibility  and  transparency  of  Australia(cid:146)s  capital  markets.  The  Principles  and 
Recommendations  can  be  viewed  at  www.asx.com.au.  The  Board  has  assessed  the  Group(cid:146)s  current  practice  against  the  Principles  and 
Recommendations and other than the matters specified below under (cid:147)If Not, Why Not(cid:148) Disclosure, all the best practice recommendations 
of the ASX Corporate Governance Council have been applied. 

Please refer to the Company(cid:146)s website (www.hannansreward.com) for Hannans(cid:146) Governance Statements and Policies. 

In relation to departures by the Company from the best practice recommendations, Hannans makes the following comments:  

Principle 1:  Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 

1.5  A  listed  entity  should  have  a  diversity  policy  which  includes  requirements  for  the  board  to  set  measurable  objectives  for 

achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity(cid:146)s progress in achieving them. 

The  Board  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  monitoring  on  an  annual  basis  the  achievement  against  gender  diversity 
objectives and strategies, including the representation of women at all levels of the organisation. 

The proportion of women within the Group as at 30 June 2018 was as follows: 

Employee 

0% 

Management 

0% 

Board of Hannans 

20% 

The Company has five directors, one executive director (who is contracted to the Company) and no managers. The Board has 
determined that the composition of the current Board represents the best mix of Directors that have an appropriate range of 
qualifications  and  expertise,  can  understand  and  competently  deal  with  current  and  emerging  business  issues  and  can 
effectively  review  and  challenge  the  performance  of  management.  The  Company  has  not  set  or  disclosed  measurable 
objectives for achieving gender diversity. Due to the size of the Company, the Board does not deem it practical to limit the 
Company to specific targets for gender diversity. Every candidate suitably qualified for a position has an equal opportunity of 
appointment regardless of gender, age, ethnicity or cultural background. 

1.6  Companies  should  disclose,  in  relation  to  each  reporting  period,  whether  a  performance  evaluation  of  the  Board  was 

undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that process. 

Evaluation of the Board is carried out on a continuing and informal basis. The Company will put a formal process in place as 
and when the level of operations justifies it. No performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period. 

1.7  Companies should disclose, in relation to each  reporting period, whether a  performance evaluation of its  senior  executives 

was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that process. 

Evaluation of the senior executives is carried out on a continuing and informal basis. The Company will put a formal process in 
place as and when the level of operations justifies it. No performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period. 

Principle 2:  Structure the Board to add value 

2.1  The Board should establish a nomination committee 

The Board as a whole will decide on the choice of any new director upon the creation of any new Board position and if any 
casual vacancy arises. Decisions to appoint new directors will be minuted. The Board will identify candidates and assess their 
skills in deciding whether an individual has the potential to add value to the Company. The Board may also seek independent 
advice  to  assist with  the  identification  process.  The  Board  considers  that this  process  is  appropriate  given  the  size  and  the 
complexity of the Group(cid:146)s affairs. Until  the situation changes  the Board will carry out any necessary nomination committee 
functions. 

2.4  The majority of the Board should be independent directors 

The  Board  consists  of  one  Non-Executive  Chairman, three  Non-Executive  Directors  and  an  Executive  Director.  There  are  no 
independent directors  on  the  Board.  Details  of  their  skills, experience  and  expertise  and  the  period  of  office  held  by  each 
Director have been included in the Directors(cid:146) Report. The number of Board meetings and the attendance of the Directors are 
set out in the Directors(cid:146) Report. 

The  Board  considers  that  the  composition  of  the  existing  Board  is  appropriate  given  the  scope  and  size  of  the  Group(cid:146)s 
operations  and  the  skills  matrix  of  the  existing  Board  members.  The  Board  will  continue  to  monitor  whether  this  remains 
appropriate as the scope and scale of its activities evolves and expands.

DIRECTORS(cid:146) REPORT 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (cont(cid:146)d) 

2.5  The Chair of the Board should be an independent director and, in particular, should not be the same person as the Managing 

Director/Chief Executive Officer 

The current Chair of the Company is Mr Jonathan Murray. Mr Murray does not satisfy the ASX Corporate Governance Principles 
and Recommendations definition of an independent director however the Board considers Mr Murray(cid:146)s role as Non-Executive 
Chairman essential to the success of  the Group in its current stage, wherein the  Group continues  to refine its focus on the 
strategic development of the business. Over time, it is proposed that the Chair position will transition to an independent non-
executive director. 

Principle 4:  Safeguard integrity of corporate reporting 

4.1  The Board should establish an audit committee 

The  Board  as  a  whole  meets  with  the  auditor  to  identify  and  discuss  the  areas  of  audit  focus,  appropriateness  of  the 
accounting judgement or choices exercised by management in preparation of the financial statements. The Board may also 
seek independent advice as and when required to address matters pertaining to appointment, removal or rotation of auditor. 
The  Board  considers  that  this  process  is  appropriate  given  the  size  and  the  complexity  of  the  Group(cid:146)s  affairs.  It  is  not 
considered necessary to have a separate audit committee. 

Principle 7:  Recognise and manage risk 

7.1  The Board should establish a risk committee 

The  Company  is  constantly  monitoring  risks  associated  with  the  economy,  industry  and  company  due  to  their  role  as 
professional fund managers, lawyers, in-country specialists and shareholders with a view to managing risks and identifying 
threats. This process is on-going. The preparation of the Board pack and its timely distribution is a key element of this process 
along  with  monthly  cash  flow  budgets,  management  discussions  and  informal  communications  between  the  Board  and 
management  via  telephone,  email  and  in  person.  The  Board  considers  that  this  process  is  appropriate  given  the  size  and 
complexity of the Group(cid:146)s affairs. It is not considered necessary to have a separate risk committee. 

7.2  The Board should review the entity(cid:146)s risk management framework and disclose at each reporting period 

The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that activities are 
aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board. 

The  Company  believes  that  it  is  crucial  for  all  Board  members  to  be  part  of  this  process,  and  as  such  the  Board  has  not 
established a separate risk management committee. The Board considers that this process is appropriate given the size and 
the complexity of the Group(cid:146)s affairs.  

The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure management(cid:146)s objectives and activities are aligned by the Board. 
These include but are not limited to the following: 
¶  Board approval of a strategic plan, which 

¶ 

Implementation of Board approved operating plans 
and Board monitoring of the progress against 
budgets that is reviewed at every board meeting. 

encompasses strategy statements designed to meet 
stakeholders(cid:146) needs and manage business risk. 

7.3  The Company should establish an internal audit function 

The Company reviews its risk and internal control processes on a continual informal basis and work alongside auditors at half 
year  and  year  end  reviews  to  identify  the  Company(cid:146)s  risks,  systems  and  procedures.  The  Company  may  also  seek 
independent advice to assist with the identification of risks and processes if and when required. The Board considers that this 
process  is  appropriate  given  the  size  and  the  complexity  of  the  Group(cid:146)s  affairs.  It  is  not  considered  necessary  to  have  an 
internal audit function. Nonetheless it remains committed to effective management and control of these factors. 

7.4  The  Company  should  disclose  whether  it  has  any  material  exposure  to  economic,  environmental  and  social  sustainability 

risks and how it manages or intends to manage those risks 

The  nature  of  the  Group(cid:146)s  exploration  operations  are  such  that  it  could  be  seen  to  be  constantly  exposed  to  economic, 
environmental and social risks. The Board and Management have respect for the rights and beliefs of all stakeholders and it is 
part of the Group(cid:146)s culture to have open, honest and constant two way communication with stakeholders and to operate fully 
within  the  laws  of  the  jurisdictions  the  Group  operates  within.  The  Group  maintains  high  standards  with  regards  its 
environmental and social practices and is constantly striving to improve its engagement and information processes. The Board 
and Management will continue to monitor these risks to the Group.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (cont(cid:146)d) 

Principle 8:  Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

8.1  The Board should establish a remuneration committee 

The  Board  as  a  whole  may appoint  an  independent working  group  comprising  consultants, Directors  and/or  the  Company 
Secretary to review and make recommendations to the board in relation to the remuneration framework as well as identify 
candidates and assess their skills in deciding whether an individual has the potential to add value to the Company. The Board 
considers  that  this  process  is  appropriate  given  the  size  and  the  complexity  of  the  Group(cid:146)s  affairs.  It  is  not  considered 
necessary to have a separate nomination or remuneration committee. Until the situation changes the Board of Hannans will 
carry out any necessary remuneration committee functions. 

Independent Professional Advice 

Directors of the Company are expected to exercise considered and independent judgement on matters before them and may need to seek 
independent professional advice. A director with prior written approval from the Chairman may, at the Group(cid:146)s expense obtain independent 
professional advice to properly discharge their responsibilities.  

Executive Director (ED) and Group Finance Officer Certifications 

The  ED  and  Group  Finance  Officer  provide  the  following  declaration  to  the  Board  in  respect of  each  quarter, half  and  full  year  financial 
period: 

¶ 

¶ 

¶ 

¶ 

that Hannans financial records have been properly maintained; 

that Hannans(cid:146) financial statements, in all material respects, are complete and present a true and fair view of the financial condition 
and operational results of Hannans and the Group and are in accordance with the relevant accounting standards; 

that  the  financial  statements  are  founded  on  a  sound  system  of  risk  management  and  internal  compliance  and  control  which 
implements the policies adopted by the Board; and 

that Hannans(cid:146) risk management and internal compliance and control systems are operating effectively in all material respects. 

COMPLIANCE 

Significant Changes in State of Affairs 

Other than those disclosed in this annual report no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group occurred during the financial year. 

Significant Events after the Balance Date 

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the 
operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or state of affairs of the Group in future financial years. 

Likely developments and Expected Results 

The  Group  expects  to  maintain  the  present  status  and  level  of  operations  and  hence  there  are  no  likely  developments  in  the  Group(cid:146)s 
operations. 

Environmental Regulation and Performance 

The Group is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect to its exploration activities. 

The  Group  aims  to  ensure  the  appropriate  standard  of  environmental  care  is  achieved,  and  in  doing  so,  that  it(cid:146)s  aware  of  and  is  in 
compliance with all environmental legislation. The Directors of the Group are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for the 
year under review.

for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 

1. 

General Information 

The consolidated financial statements of Hannans Ltd (Company or Hannans) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) for the year 
ended 30 June 2018 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 5 September 2018. 

Hannans is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the 
Australian Securities Exchange. 

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are mineral exploration and project development which is further 
described in the Directors' Report. Information on other related party relationships is provided in note 27. 

2. 

Summary of significant accounting policies 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board. The financial report includes the financial statements of the Hannans Ltd and its subsidiaries. 

The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting 
Standards Board.  

(a) 

Basis of preparation 

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical cost, except for certain financial assets 
and liabilities which are carried at fair value. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. 
All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. 

Separate financial statements for Hannans as an individual entity are no longer presented as the consequence of a change to 
the Corporations Act 2001, however, required financial information for Hannans as an individual entity is included in note 32. 

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 
and the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. 

(b)  New Accounting Standards for Application in the Current Financial Year and Future Periods 

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group during the financial year 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed 
in the preparation of the Group(cid:146)s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. All other new 
standards and interpretations effective from 1 July 2017 were adopted with the main impact being disclosure changes. Changes 
to accounting policies due to the adoption of these standards and interpretations are not considered significant for the Group.  

New standards issued but not yet effective 

The following standards and interpretations have been issued by the AASB but are not yet effective and have not been early 
adopted by the Group for the period ended 30 June 2018:

Summary 

AASB 9 (December 2014) is a new standard which replaces AASB 139. This new version supersedes AASB 9 
issued in December 2009 (as amended) and AASB 9 (issued in December 2010) and includes a model for 
classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking (cid:145)expected loss(cid:146) impairment model and a 
substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting. 
AASB 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. However, the Standard is 
available for early adoption. The own credit changes can be early adopted in isolation without otherwise 
changing the accounting for financial instruments. 
Classification and measurement 
AASB 9 includes requirements for a simpler approach for classification and measurement of financial assets 
compared with the requirements of AASB 139. There are also some changes made in relation to financial 
liabilities. 

The main changes are described below.

Summary 
(cont(cid:146)d) 

Financial assets 
(a)  Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity's 

business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. 
(b)  Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity 

instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these 
investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no 
impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument. 

(c)  Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if 
doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise 
from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases. 

Financial liabilities 
Changes introduced by AASB 9 in respect of financial liabilities are limited to the measurement of liabilities 
designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) using the fair value option. 
Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities, the change in fair value is to be accounted for as 
follows: 

· 

The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) 

The remaining change is presented in profit or loss 

· 
AASB 9 also removes the volatility in profit or loss that was caused by changes in the credit risk of liabilities 
elected to be measured at fair value. This change in accounting means that gains or losses attributable to 
changes in the entity(cid:146)s own credit risk would be recognised in OCI. These amounts recognised in OCI are not 
recycled to profit or loss if the liability is ever repurchased at a discount. 

Impairment 
The final version of AASB 9 introduces a new expected-loss impairment model that will require more timely 
recognition of expected credit losses. Specifically, the new Standard requires entities to account for expected 
credit losses from when financial instruments are first recognised and to recognise full lifetime expected 
losses on a more timely basis. 
Hedge accounting 
Amendments to AASB 9 (December 2009 & 2010 editions and AASB 2013-9) issued in December 2013 
included the new hedge accounting requirements, including changes to hedge effectiveness testing, 
treatment of hedging costs, risk components that can be hedged and disclosures. 
Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 
2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7, AASB 2010-10 and AASB 2014-1 (cid:150) Part E. 

AASB 2014-7 incorporates the consequential amendments arising from the issuance of AASB 9 in Dec 2014. 
AASB 2014-8 limits the application of the existing versions of AASB 9 (AASB 9 (December 2009) and AASB 9 
(December 2010)) from 1 February 2015 and applies to annual reporting periods beginning on after 1 January 
2015. 

Impact 

The assessment is ongoing. The preliminary result to date indicates a change in disclosure with no material 
remeasurement impact at 1 July 2018.

AASB 15 
Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

Application date of 
standard 

Application date for 
Group 

1 January 2018 

1 July 2018 

Summary 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers replaces the existing revenue recognition 
standards AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related Interpretations 
(Interpretation 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, Interpretation 15 Agreements for the 
Construction of Real Estate, Interpretation 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers, 
Interpretation 131 Revenue(cid:151)Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services and 
Interpretation 1042 Subscriber Acquisition Costs in the Telecommunications Industry). AASB 15 
incorporates the requirements of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and developed jointly with the US Financial 
Accounting Standards Board (FASB). 
AASB 15 specifies the accounting treatment for revenue arising from contracts with customers 
(except for contracts within the scope of other accounting standards such as leases or financial 
instruments). The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer 
of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the 
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in 
accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps: 
(a)  Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer  
(b)  Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract  
(c)  Step 3: Determine the transaction price  
(d)  Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract  
(e)  Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation  
AASB 2015-8 amended the AASB 15 effective date so it is now effective for annual reporting periods 
commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Early application is permitted.  
AASB 2014-5 incorporates the consequential amendments to a number Australian Accounting 
Standards (including Interpretations) arising from the issuance of AASB 15.  

AASB 2016-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (cid:150) Clarifications to AASB 15 amends 
AASB 15 to clarify the requirements on identifying performance obligations, principal versus agent 
considerations and the timing of recognising revenue from granting a licence and provides further 
practical expedients on transition to AASB 15.  

Impact 

Given the Group(cid:146)s current principal activities being that of exploration and evaluation, adoption of 
AASB 15 is not expected to have a significant impact. The Group(cid:146)s revenue recognition policy will be 
reviewed to ensure compliance with AASB 15 upon adoption. 

AASB 2016-5 
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards  
(cid:150) Classification and Measurement of Share-based  
Payment Transactions 

1 January 2018 

1 July 2018 

Summary 

This Standard amends AASB2 Share-based Payment to address: 
(a)  the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled 

share-based payments; 

(b)  the classification of share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax 

obligations; and  

(c)  the accounting for a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the 

classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. 

Impact 

Management is in the process of determining the impact of this accounting standard.

AASB 16 
Leases 

Summary 

The key features of AASB 16 are as follows: 
Lessee accounting 

Application date of 
standard 

Application date for 
Group 

1 January 2019 

1 July 2019 

· 

Lessees are required to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, 
unless the underlying asset is of low value. 

·  A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to other non-financial assets and lease liabilities similarly 

to other financial liabilities. 

·  Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The 

measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments (including inflation-linked payments), and also 
includes payments to be made in optional periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option 
to extend the lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. 

·  AASB 16 contains disclosure requirements for lessees. 

Lessor accounting 

·  AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly, a 

lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two 
types of leases differently. 

·  AASB 16 also requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors that will improve information 

disclosed about a lessor(cid:146)s risk exposure, particularly to residual value risk. 

AASB 16 supersedes: 
(a)  AASB 117 Leases 
(b)  Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease 
(c)  SIC-15 Operating Leases(cid:151)Incentives 
(d)  SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease 
The new standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application 
is permitted, provided the new revenue standard, AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, has been 
applied, or is applied at the same date as AASB 16. 

Impact 

Management is in the process of determining the impact of this accounting standard.

Statement of significant accounting policies (cont(cid:146)d) 

(c) 

Cash and cash equivalents 

(e) 

Financial assets (cont(cid:146)d) 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash 
in banks and investments in money market instruments 
with original maturity of less than 3 months, net of 
outstanding bank overdrafts. 

(d) 

Employee benefits 

Debt and equity instruments 

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either 
liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance 
of the contractual arrangement. 

(f) 

Financial instruments issued by the Company 

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in 
respect of wages and salaries and annual leave when it 
is probable that settlement will be required and they 
are capable of being measured reliably. 

Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits 
expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured 
at their nominal values using the remuneration rate 
expected to apply at the time of settlement. 

Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits 
which are not expected to be settled within 12 months 
are measured as the present value of the estimated 
future cash outflows to be made by the entity in 
respect of services provided by employees up to 
reporting date. 

(e) 

Financial assets 

Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on 
trade date where purchase or sale of an investment is 
under a contract whose terms require delivery of the 
investment within the timeframe established by the 
market concerned, and are initially measured at fair 
value, net of transaction costs. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in 
subsidiaries are measured at cost. 

Other financial assets are classified into the following 
specified categories: financial assets (cid:145)at fair value 
through profit or loss(cid:146), (cid:145)available(cid:150)for(cid:150)sale(cid:146) financial 
assets, and (cid:145)loans and receivables(cid:146). The classification 
depends on the nature and purpose of the financial 
assets and is determined at the time of initial 
recognition. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

The Group classifies certain shares as financial assets at 
fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets held for 
trading purposes are classified as current assets and are 
stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Available(cid:150)for(cid:150)sale financial assets 

Shares and options held by the Group are classified as 
being available(cid:150)for(cid:150)sale and are stated at fair value less 
impairment. Gains and losses arising from changes in 
fair value are recognised directly in the available(cid:150)for(cid:150)
sale revaluation reserve, until the investment is 
disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which 
time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised 
in the available(cid:150)for(cid:150)sale revaluation reserve is included 
in profit or loss for the period. 

Loans and receivables 

Subsequent to initial recognition, trade receivables, 
loans, and other receivables are recorded at amortised 
cost using the effective interest rate method less 
impairment. 

Transaction costs on the issue of equity instruments 

Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity 
instruments are recognised directly in equity as a 
reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to 
which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs 
that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of 
those equity instruments and which would not have 
been incurred had those instruments not been issued. 

(g) 

Goods and services tax 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of 
the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except: 

i.  where the amount of GST incurred is not 

recoverable from the taxation authority, it is 
recognised as part of the cost  of acquisition of an 
asset or as part of an item of expense; or 

ii. 

for receivables and payables which are recognised 
inclusive of GST. 

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, 
the taxation authority is included as part of receivables 
or payables. 

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on 
a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising 
from investing and financing activities which is 
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority 
is classified as operating cash flows. 

(h) 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying 
amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to 
determine whether there is any indication that those 
assets have suffered an impairment loss. Where the 
asset does not generate cash flows that are 
independent from other assets, the Group estimates 
the recoverable amount of the cash(cid:150)generating unit to 
which the asset belongs. If any such indication exists, 
the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in 
order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if 
any), being the higher of the asset(cid:146)s fair value less 
costs to sell and value in use to the asset(cid:146)s carrying 
value. Excess of the asset(cid:146)s carrying value over its 
recoverable amount is expensed to the consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income. 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and 
intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for 
impairment annually and whenever there is an 
indication that the asset may be impaired.

(i) 

Impairment of non-financial assets (cont(cid:146)d) 

(i) 

Tax (cont(cid:146)d) 

Current and deferred tax for the period 

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or 
income in the statement of comprehensive income, 
except when it relates to items credited or debited 
directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also 
recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from 
the initial accounting for a business combination, in 
which case it is taken into account in the determination 
of goodwill or excess. 

Tax consolidation 

Legislation to allow groups, comprising a parent entity 
and its Australian resident wholly owned entities, to 
elect to consolidate and be treated as a single entity for 
income tax purposes was substantively enacted on 21 
October 2002. The Company and its 100% owned 
Australian resident subsidiaries implemented the tax 
consolidation legislation on 1 July 2008 with Hannans 
as the head entity. 

(j) 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is 
expensed immediately to the profit and loss where the 
applicable area of interest does not contain a JORC 
compliant mineral resource. Where the area of interest 
contains a JORC compliant mineral resource exploration 
and evaluation expenditure is capitalised. These costs 
are carried forward only if they relate to an area of 
interest for which rights of tenure are current and in 
respect of which: 

i. 

such costs are expected to be recouped through 
successful development and exploitation or from 
sale of the area; or 

ii.  exploration and evaluation activities in the area 

have not, at balance date, reached a stage which 
permits a reasonable assessment of the existence 
or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, 
and active operations in, or relating to, the area are 
continuing. 

Accumulated costs in respect of areas of interest which 
are abandoned are written off in full against profit or 
loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the 
area is made. A regular review is undertaken of each 
area of interest to determine the appropriateness of 
continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area 
of interest. 

Notwithstanding the fact that a decision not to abandon 
an area of interest has been made, based on the 
above, the exploration and evaluation expenditure in 
relation to an area may still be written off if considered 
appropriate to do so. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less 
costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, 
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their 
present value using a pre(cid:150)tax discount rate that reflects 
current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the risks specific to the asset for which the 
estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the 
carrying amount of the asset (cash(cid:150)generating unit) is 
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable 
amount, but only to the extent that the increased 
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount 
that would have been determined had no impairment 
loss been recognised for the asset (cash(cid:150)generating 
unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is 
recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the 
relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the 
reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a 
revaluation increase. 

(i) 

Tax 

Current tax 

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of 
income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the 
taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated 
using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for 
current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or 
asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). 

Deferred tax 

Deferred tax is accounted for using the full liability 
method in respect of temporary differences arising 
from differences between the carrying amount of 
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the 
corresponding tax base of those items. 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable 
temporary differences arising on investments in 
subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures 
except where the entity is able to control the reversal 
of the temporary differences and it is probable that the 
temporary differences will not reverse in the 
foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from 
deductible temporary differences associated with these 
investments and interests are only recognised to the 
extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient 
taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of 
the temporary differences and they are expected to 
reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the 
tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) 
when the asset and liability giving rise to them are 
realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) 
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by 
reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax 
liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that 
would follow from the manner in which the entity 
expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the 
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they 
relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation 
authority and the entity intends to settle its current tax 
assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Joint arrangements (cont(cid:146)d) 

Joint operations 

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby 
the parties that have joint control of the arrangement 
have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint 
control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of 
an arrangement, which exists only when decisions 
about the relevant activities require unanimous consent 
of the parties sharing control. 

The considerations made in determining significant 
influence or joint control is similar to those necessary to 
determine control over subsidiaries. 

The Group(cid:146)s investments in joint ventures are 
accounted for using the equity method. 

Under the equity method, the investment in a joint 
venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying 
amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise 
changes in the Group(cid:146)s share of net assets of the joint 
venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to 
the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of 
the investment and is neither amortised nor individually 
tested for impairment. 

The statement of profit or loss reflects the Group(cid:146)s 
share of the results of operations of the joint venture. 
Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as 
part of the Group(cid:146)s OCI. In addition, when there has 
been a change recognised directly in the equity of the 
joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any 
changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes 
in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from 
transactions between the Group and joint venture are 
eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint 
venture. 

The aggregate of the Group(cid:146)s share of profit or loss of a 
joint venture is shown on the face of the statement of 
profit or loss outside operating profit and represents 
profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in 
the subsidiaries of the joint venture. 

The financial statements of the joint venture are 
prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. 
When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the 
accounting policies in line with those of the Group. 
After application of the equity method, the Group 
determines whether it is necessary to recognise an 
impairment loss on its investment in its joint venture. 
At each reporting date, the Group determines whether 
there is objective evidence that the investment in the 
joint venture is impaired. 

If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the 
amount of impairment as the difference between the 
recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying 
value, then recognises the loss as (cid:145)Share of profit of a 
joint venture(cid:146) in the statement of profit or loss. 

Upon loss of joint control over the joint venture, the 
Group measures and recognises any retained 
investment at its fair value. Any difference between the 
carrying amount of the joint venture upon loss of joint 
control and the fair value of the retained investment 
and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or 
loss. 

The Group(cid:146)s recognises its interest in joint operations by 
recognising its: 

¶  Assets, including its share of any assets held jointly 

¶ 

Liabilities, including its share of any liabilities 
incurred jointly 

¶  Revenue from the sale of its share of the output 

arising from the joint operation 

¶  Share of the revenue from the sale of the output by 

the joint operation 

¶ 

Expenses, including its share of any expenses 
incurred jointly 

(l) 

Payables 

Trade payables and other accounts payable are 
recognised when the entity becomes obliged to make 
future payments resulting from the purchase of goods 
and services. 

(m) 

Foreign currency translation 

Functional and presentation currency 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in 
Australian Dollars, which is Hannans(cid:146) functional and 
presentation currency. 

Transactions and balance 

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded 
in the functional currency (Australian Dollars (AUD)) by 
applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the 
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at 
the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. 

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of 
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using 
the exchange rate as at the date of the initial 
transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair 
value in a foreign currency are translated using the 
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was 
determined. 

Differences arising on settlement or translation of 
monetary items are recognised in profit or loss with the 
exception of monetary items that are designated as 
part of the hedge of the Group(cid:146)s net investment of a 
foreign operation. These are recognised in other 
comprehensive income until the net investment is 
disposed of, at which time, the cumulative amount is 
reclassified to profit or loss. Tax charges and credits 
attributable to exchange differences on those monetary 
items are also recorded in other comprehensive 
income.

Principles of consolidation (cont(cid:146)d) 

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of 
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using 
the exchange rates at the dates of the initial 
transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair 
value in a foreign currency are translated using the 
exchange rates at the date when the fair value is 
determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of 
non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated 
in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in 
fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on 
items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in 
other comprehensive income or profit or loss are also 
recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or 
loss, respectively). 

Group companies 

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign 
operations are translated into dollars at the rate of 
exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their 
statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange 
rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The 
exchange differences arising on translation for 
consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive 
income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the 
component of other comprehensive income relating to 
that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit 
or loss. 

(n) 

Principles of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the 
financial statements of Hannans and its subsidiaries as 
at and for the period ended 30 June 2018 (the Group). 
Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has 
rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the 
investee and has the ability to affect those returns 
through its power over the investee. Specifically, the 
Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has: 

¶  Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that 
give it the current ability to direct the relevant 
activities of the investee); 

¶ 

¶ 

Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its 
involvement with the investee; and 

The ability to use its power over the investee to 
affect its returns. 

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting 
or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all 
relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether 
it has power over an investee, including: 

¶ 

The contractual arrangement with the other vote 
holders of the investee;  

¶  Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; 

and 

¶ 

The Group(cid:146)s voting rights and potential voting 
rights. 

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an 
investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there 
are changes to one or more of the three elements of 
control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the 
Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases 
when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, 
liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired 
or disposed of during the year are included in the 
statement of comprehensive income from the date the 
Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to 
control the subsidiary. 

Profit or loss and each component of other 
comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the 
equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the 
non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-
controlling interests having a deficit balance. When 
necessary, adjustments are made to the financial 
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting 
policies into line with the Group(cid:146)s accounting policies. 
All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, 
expenses and cash flows relating to transactions 
between members of the Group are eliminated in full 
on consolidation. 

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, 
without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity 
transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, 
it: 

¶  De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and 

liabilities of the subsidiary; 

¶  De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-

controlling interests; 

¶  De-recognises the cumulative translation 

differences recorded in equity; 

¶  Recognises the fair value of the consideration 

received; 

¶  Recognises the fair value of any investment 

retained; 

¶  Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; 

and 

¶  Reclassifies the parent(cid:146)s share of components 
previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or 
retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be 
required if the Group had directly disposed of the 
related assets or liabilities. 

A list of subsidiaries appears in note 4 to the financial 
statements.

(o) 

Plant and equipment 

(r) 

Share(cid:150)based payments 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less 
accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Cost 
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the 
acquisition of the item. 

Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment. 
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line or 
diminishing value basis so as to write off the net cost of 
each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated 
residual value. The estimated useful lives, residual 
values and depreciation method are reviewed at the 
end of each annual reporting period. 

The depreciation rates used for each class of 
depreciable assets are: 

Class of fixed asset 

Depreciation rate (%) 

Office furniture 

10.00 (cid:150) 20.00 

Building 

2.50 

Office equipment 

7.50 (cid:150) 66.67 

  Motor vehicles 

16.67 (cid:150) 25.00 

(p) 

Provisions 

The amount recognised as a provision is the best 
estimate of the consideration required to settle the 
present obligation as a result of a past event at 
reporting date, taking into account the risks and 
uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a 
provision is measured using the cashflows estimated to 
settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the 
present value of those cashflows. 

When some or all of the economic benefits required to 
settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a 
third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it 
is virtually certain that recovery will be received and 
the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. 

(q) 

Revenue recognition 

Dividend and interest revenue 

Dividend revenue is recognised on a receivable basis. 
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate 
basis that takes into account the effective yield on the 
financial asset. 

Service fee 

Revenue from service fee is recognised when the 
service has been rendered in proportion to the stage of 
completion. No revenue is recognised if there are 
significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the 
consideration due and the cost incurred or to be 
incurred cannot be reliably measured. 

Equity(cid:150)settled share(cid:150)based payments are measured at 
fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured 
by use of the Black and Scholes model or Monte-Carlo 
simulation model. The expected life used in the model 
has been adjusted, based on management(cid:146)s best 
estimate, for the effects of non(cid:150)transferability, exercise 
restrictions, and behavioural considerations. 

The fair value determined at the grant date of the 
equity(cid:150)settled share(cid:150)based payments is expensed on a 
straight(cid:150)line basis over the vesting period, based on the 
entity(cid:146)s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. 

For cash(cid:150)settled share(cid:150)based payments, a liability equal 
to the portion of the goods or services received is 
recognised at the current fair value determined at each 
reporting date. 

(s) 

Fair value measurement 

The Group measures available-for-sale financial assets 
at fair value and receivables are measured at amortised 
costs at each balance sheet date. 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an 
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the 
measurement date. The fair value measurement is 
based on the presumption that the transaction to sell 
the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: 

¶ 

¶ 

In the principal market for the asset or liability; or 

In the absence of a principal market, in the most 
advantageous market for the asset or liability. 

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured 
or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised 
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, 
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the 
fair value measurement as a whole:  

¶ 

¶ 

¶ 

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in 
active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 

Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest 
level input that is significant to the fair value 
measurement is directly or indirectly observable; or 

Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest 
level input that is significant to the fair value 
measurement is unobservable. 

(t) 

Segment reporting policy 

Operating segments are identified and segment 
information disclosed on the basis of internal reports 
that are regularly provided to, or reviewed by the 
Group(cid:146)s chief operating decision maker which, for the 
Group, is the Board of Directors. In this regard, such 
information is provided using similar measures to those 
used in preparing the statement of comprehensive 
income and statement of financial position.

3. 

Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

In the application of the Group(cid:146)s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, management is required to make judgments, 
estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The 
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable 
under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the 
period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the 
revision affects both current and future periods. 

The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain 
assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: 

Key judgements (cid:151) exploration and evaluation expenditure 

The future recoverability of exploration and evaluation expenditure capitalised on the acquisition of areas of interest and/or capitalised 
JORC compliant mineral resource expenditure are dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit 
the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. To the 
extent that capitalised acquisition costs and/or capitalised JORC compliant mineral resource expenditure are determined not to be 
recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made. 

Key judgements (cid:151) share(cid:150)based payments  

The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at 
the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black Scholes and/or Monte-Carlo simulation model. The 
related assumptions detailed in note 8. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments 
would have no impact on the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact 
expenses and equity.

Income taxes (cont(cid:146)d) 

The prima facie income tax benefit/(expense) on pre(cid:150)tax accounting loss from operations reconciles to the income tax expense in 
the financial statements as follows: 

Profit/(Loss) from operations 

Income tax benefit calculated at 27.5% (2017: 27.5%) 

Effect of expenses that are not deductible in determining taxable profit 

Adjustment of prior year balances due to change in tax rate 

Effect of net deferred tax asset not recognised as deferred tax assets 

Capital losses not recognised 

Effect of net deferred tax asset recognised 

Income tax benefit/(expense) attributable to operating loss 

The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 27.5% 
(2017: 27.5%) payable by Australian corporate entities on taxable profits under 
Australian tax law. There has been no change in the corporate tax rate when 
compared with the previous reporting period.

Share(cid:150)based payments 

The Company has an ownership(cid:150)based compensation arrangement for employees of the Group. 

Each option issued under the arrangement converts into one ordinary share of Hannans on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable 
by the recipient on receipt of the option. Options neither carry rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any 
time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. The number of options granted is at the sole discretion of the Directors. 

Incentive  options  issued  to  Directors  (executive  and  non(cid:150)executive)  are  subject  to  approval  by  shareholders  and  attach  vesting 
conditions as appropriate. 

On 3 June 2018 4,162,500 unlisted options exercisable at 0.4 cents expiring on 3 June 2018 were exercised. These unlisted options 
were not share based payments to employees of the Group. 

The following share(cid:150)based payment arrangements were in existence during the current and comparative reporting periods:

There were no current trade and other receivables that were past due but not impaired (2017: nil). 
Hannans entered into a legally binding unconditional agreement with Mine Builder Pty Ltd (Mine Builder) for the sale of Hannans(cid:146) interest in 
gold rights on Mining Lease M77/544 for $800,000. The consideration for the gold rights was to be paid via four cash instalments between 
March 2015 and December 2015. Mine Builder has requested additional time to make the payments pursuant to the binding unconditional 
agreement. 

Hannans issued a statutory demand against Mine Builder on 21 October 2016 for the outstanding debt in the sum of approximately $1.16 
million which includes interest. Mine Builder's application to set aside Hannans' statutory demand was heard in the Supreme Court of Western 
Australia in February 2017. On 16 February 2017 the Supreme Court handed down its decision to dismiss Mine Builder Pty Ltd's application to set 
aside Hannans(cid:146) statutory demand. Mine Builder had until 8 March 2017 to pay the claimed amount. If payment was not received by 8 March 
2017 Hannans could have applied for a winding up order against Mine Builder in 
the Federal Court.

On 4 March 2016 the Company announced a strategic collaboration with Neometals Ltd (Neometals). The Company agreed to proceed with the 
acquisition  of  Neometals(cid:146)  subsidiary,  Reed  Exploration  Pty  Ltd  (REX)  via  the  issue  of  620,833,333  ordinary  shares.  REX  owns  the  Forrestania,  
Lake  Johnston  and Queen  Victoria  Rocks precious  and base  metals  portfolio and  at  settlement was  required  to  have  $1 million cash  at  bank 
with no debts.  

On  29  September  2016  the  transaction  was  completed  and  the  Company  acquired  100%  of  the  shares  in  REX.  The  Company  issued 
620,833,333  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  to  Neometals  Ltd.  The  fair  value  of  the  asset  acquired  based  on  an  independent  valuation  report 
prepared by BDO was determined to be $3.688 million based on the comparable transaction method. On acquisition, REX held a cash balance 
of $1 million. The acquisition costs of $121,521 were also incurred. 

The transaction was not a business combination as the acquisition of REX did not meet the definition of a (cid:145)business(cid:146) as defined in the Australian 
Accounting Standards. The substance and intent was for the Company to acquire the exploration and evaluation assets of REX for the purpose 
of expanding the Group's assets. The net assets acquired at the date of acquisition were:

Acquisition costs

specie distribution was completed on 27 September 2016. 
Critical Metals Ltd and its subsidiaries, Scandinavian Resources Pty Ltd, SR Equities Pty Ltd, Scandinavian Resources AB and Kiruna Iron 
AB, (Critical Metals group) held the following rights and obligations: 

·

· 
· 

Free carried interest in Pahtohavare copper-gold project (under joint venture with Lovisagruvan AB);

In  May  2013,  Hannans  entered  into  a  Heads  of  Agreement  (HoA)  with  Avalon  Minerals  Limited  for  the  sale  of  the  Discovery  Zone  copper-iron 
prospect in Sweden for $4 million. On 10 May 2013, Hannans made an application with the Inspectorate to transfer the tenements to Avalon which 
was  granted  on  23  May  2013.  On  1  October  2013, Hannans  reached  an  agreement with  Avalon  that varied  the  HOA.  The  variation  deleted  and 
replaced clause 3 of the original HOA with the following: 

· 

· 

$1 million upon successful completion of a rights issue by Avalon or no later than 31 October 2013; and 

$3 million when the Mining Inspectorate of Sweden has formally granted the Discovery Zone Exploitation Concession to Avalon. 

On 8 October 2013 Hannans confirmed that Avalon has paid $1 million pursuant to the varied HOA. 

On 28 September 2016 the parties to the Discovery Zone transaction executed a Deed of Termination, Settlement and Release meaning that all 
legal disputes and court actions between the respective companies have been settled with no financial impact on the continuing Hannans(cid:146) group, 
without an admission of liability by either party and this matter is now resolved. The $1 million classified as payable was reversed.

The  fair  value  of  the  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  disposed  was  based  on  an  independent  valuation  report  prepared  by  an 
independent technical expert, SRK Consulting. The fair value was determined to be USD 10.12 million (equivalent to A$13.25 million). 
The preferred value was driven primarily by the market based methods and adjusted by the Geoscience Rating method and MEEE, 
where appropriate.  

A gain of $11,730,140 was recognised on the disposal.

30. 

Financial risk management objectives and policies 

(a) 

Financial risk management objectives 
The Group manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group.  

The  Group  does  not  enter  into  or  trade  financial  instruments,  including  derivative  financial  instruments,  for  speculative 
purposes although it holds, at 30 June 2018, shares in various other listed mining companies. The use of financial derivatives is 
governed by the Group(cid:146)s Board of Directors. 

The  Group(cid:146)s  activities  expose  it  primarily  to  the  financial  risks  of  changes  in  interest  rates,  but  at  30  June  2018  it  is  also 
exposed to market price risk. The Group does not enter into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest 
rate. 

(b) 

Significant accounting policies 

Details  of  the  significant  accounting  policies  and  methods  adopted,  including  the  criteria  for  recognition,  the  basis  of 
measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial 
liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 2 to the financial statements. 

(c) 

Foreign currency risk management 

The Group is not exposed to any significant currency risk on receivable, payable or borrowings. All loans are denominated in 
the Group(cid:146)s functional currency. 

(d) 

Interest rate risk management 

The Group  is exposed to interest rate risk as it places funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by 
maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate products which also facilitate access to money. 

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments 

A change of 1 per cent in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased equity and profit or loss by the amounts 
shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 
2017:

Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont(cid:146)d) 

(e) 

Liquidity risk 

The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  sufficient  cash  to  meet  the  operating  requirements  of  the  business  and 
investing excess funds in highly liquid, high security short term investments. The Group(cid:146)s liquidity needs can be met through a 
variety of sources, including cash generated from operations and issue of equity instruments. 

The  following  table  details  the  Group(cid:146)s  non-derivative  financial  instruments  according  to  their  contractual  maturities.  The 
amounts disclosed are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(f) 

Credit risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. 
The  Group  has  adopted  a  policy  of  only  dealing  with  creditworthy  counterparties  and  obtaining  sufficient  collateral  where 
appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group(cid:146)s exposure and the credit ratings of its 
counterparties are continuously monitored. The Group measures credit risk on a fair value basis. 

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having 
similar characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit(cid:150)ratings 
assigned by international credit(cid:150)rating agencies. 

The Group currently does not have any material debtors apart from GST receivable which is claimed at the end of each quarter 
during the year. 

It is a policy of the Group that creditors are paid within 30 days. 

(g)  Market price risk 

Market risk is the potential for loss arising from adverse movements in the level and volatility of equity prices. 

The Group(cid:146)s investments subject to price risk are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange as detailed in note 11. A 1 per 
cent increase at reporting date in the equity prices would increase the market value of the securities by $69 (2017: $6) and 
an equal change in the opposite direction would decrease the value by the same amount. The increase/decrease would be 
reflected in equity as these financial instruments are classified as available(cid:150)for(cid:150)sale. The increase/decrease net of deferred tax 
would be $49 (2017: $5). 

(h) 

Capital risk management 

For the purposes of the Group(cid:146)s capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves attributable 
to the equity holders of the parent, which at 30 June 2018 was $6,788,307 (30 June 2017: $4,083,759). The Group(cid:146)s objective 
when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for 
shareholders. 

At 30 June 2018 the Group does not hold any external debt funding (30 June 2017: Nil) and is not subject to any externally 
imposed covenants in respect of capital management.

Fair value measurement 

The  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  of  the  Group  approximated  their  carrying  amount.  It does  not  include  fair 
value  information  for  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  not  measured  at  fair  value  if  the  carrying  amount  is  a  reasonable 
approximation of fair value. The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by value measurement hierarchy.

The  management  assessed  that  cash  and  short-term  deposits,  trade  receivables,  trade  payables  and  other  current  liabilities 
approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments. 

The fair value of the financial assets is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction 
between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the 
fair value: 
(i) 

Fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is derived  from quoted market prices in active markets. Refer note 30(g) for 
market price risk impact. 
The historical cost has been used to fair value unquoted ordinary shares. There is no market for the share and the value of the 
share does not warrant further discount or valuation. 

(ii) 

The estimated recoverable amount of the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is classified as level 3 and is sensitive to 
the  movements  in  the  iron  ore  and  copper  prices.  The  valuation  methodology  undertaken  by  the  Group  was  determined  with 
reference  to  comparable exploration  companies  in the  industry and  their  respective  contained  iron  and copper resource multiples. 
Refer note 14 for further information.
