Heron Resources Limited - Annual Report 2018 - Page 3
“2018 has been a major milestone in the over twenty year history of
Heron. This is the year in which we have made the transition from junior
explorer to developing our first mine at Woodlawn, which we expect to
start commissioning in just a few months from now. ”
Stephen Dennis, Chairman

1.1 Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholders,
It is with great pleasure that I write to you to declare that 2018 has been a major milestone in the over
twenty year history of Heron. This is the year in which we have made the transition from junior explorer
to developing our first mine at Woodlawn, which we expect to start commissioning in just a few
months from now.
There are many images in our Annual Report which record the remarkable transformation which has
taken place at Woodlawn over the last 12 months. It has been an exciting time for all involved, and I
am pleased to report that plant construction by Sedgman, our project engineer, is now over 80%
complete, and that the project remains on schedule and on budget. Our mining contractor, Pybar,
recently mobilised to site, and underground mine development is also now under way. The pace of
activity at site will only continue to increase as we prepare for the start-up of commissioning activities
in December.
I would like to congratulate our CEO Mr Wayne Taylor and our dedicated management team for their
efforts in readying Woodlawn for operations. There exists at site a strong culture of safety and
efficiency, and I am certain that we are well equipped to meet the technical challenges that can
inevitably arise during the early start-up phase of any new operation. We also continue to build up our
operations team in readiness for start-up, and we welcome the many new employees who have joined
Heron as we make the transition towards production.
As to matters outside of Woodlawn, I note that in March this year we took the decision to de-list Heron
from the Toronto Stock Exchange. This was purely an economic decision. The percentage shareholding
held by North American shareholders and the lack of liquidity in that market meant we could no longer
justify the cost of maintaining a dual listing.
I am pleased to say that Heron is supported by a particularly strong board, and I would like to thank all
Directors for their continued counsel and support. In November last year, we welcomed Dr Ian Pattison
to the Board. Ian is a respected metallurgist who brings considerable operational experience to Heron,
having also had an earlier association with Woodlawn through the mine’s previous owners.
Finally, thank you to all of our shareholders for your ongoing support. As a shareholder, I would like to
think that the market will eventually reward us with a higher share price as Woodlawn nears to
production. Whilst metal prices have declined significantly this year, the fundamentals for our
products, particularly zinc, remain strong, and we are anticipating a favourable price environment as
Woodlawn comes on stream.
I look forward to bringing you further reports of our progress as we complete construction at Woodlawn
and commence operations.
Sincerely
Stephen Dennis

Heron Resources Limited - Annual Report 2018 - Page 9
1.4 Managing Director’s Report
In September last year we saw the commencement of construction at our
Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Project and it has been a year of solid progress
with the project literally rising out of the ground in Hickory’s paddock. As
anticipated, we are into the final stages of the build and significant effort
is being placed into gearing ourselves for the start of commissioning prior
to our first production. These are exciting times for the Company as it
transitions to become the newest Australian base metal producer.
Taking a look at the industry in general, the uplift in zinc prices in the last two years has seen renewed interest in zinc project developments,
typically characterised by the refurbishment of former projects and plants that had previously seen their best days. We believe a significant
competitive advantage of our Woodlawn Project is the new, ‘state of the art’ processing facility with this plant tailored specifically for our
project, incorporating the best process technology the industry has to offer. This will ensure we achieve optimal results from the high grade
Woodlawn deposit.
Progress over the year has seen the completion of extensive earthworks to prepare the site foundations, tailings storage infrastructure and
the establishment of the box cut for underground access. This was followed by completion of the concrete foundations and the erection of a
large quantity of structural steelwork. Next saw the installation of key process equipment such as the IsaMillTM which represents the step-
change in processing technology, facilitating cost effective mineral liberation to the optimal grind size. The last of the construction work is
heavily focused on the piping and electrical work which is well underway.
In parallel with the process plant, we are currently establishing two mining fronts for the commencement of production. The mobilisation and
recent commencement of the decline by Pybar Mining Services signifies a further significant milestone in the project development schedule.
We are now on our way to accessing the high grade massive sulphide mineralisation that makes Woodlawn a standout project amongst its
global peers. We expect to get a first “in-situ” look at this orebody in the next few months with the development of the newly discovered G2
lens. The second mining front is the hydraulicing of the former tailings, with construction of the required pumping station and trash screen
well advanced.
We have been progressively awarding all of the major operational contracts required to support our production activities covering aspects such
as power supply, transport of concentrates to port and the supply of reagents and consumables. We have been very pleased with the level of
competitive interest shown in assisting our business into production.
Production readiness is now in full swing. We have secured the key management, supervisory and technical roles and we are now placing
significant effort into the recruitment of personnel for production operations. The interest we have received has been pleasing with the project
location and the opportunity to be part of an exciting new operation proving to be major drawcards. The next few months will see our employee
count swell to more than triple our current size as we move to full manning numbers.
Page 10 - Heron Resources Limited - Annual Report 2018
1.4 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT CONTINUED
Turning to exploration, and while it has been a quieter year than 2017, our results continue to reinforce the discovery potential within the
immediate mine area and also in the regional district. Follow-up drilling on the G2 lens, the first mineralisation to be accessed underground,
continues to deliver some very high grade results along with very good metallurgical test work results. This material will be excellent ore to
test the performance of the plant. We continue to add strategic ground to our tenement portfolio targeting the felsic volcanic occurrences
proximal to Woodlawn. Heron is one of the few active explorers in the district and has been able to acquire prime exploration ground.
Of paramount importance to the Company is the health, safety and welfare of our employees and contractors. While overall performance has
been commendable, in the past 12 months we recorded one lost time injury, along with a handful of minor injuries and incidents and shows
that we have more room for improvement and a lot more to do to achieve a zero harm result. We have progressively developed and
implemented the supporting systems to ensure our operating activities are undertaken with minimal risk to our workforce and the wider
environment.
The commencement of significant on site activity has made it possible to establish commercial arrangements with a number of local suppliers
and to utilise local specialist contractors. They have all been, and remain, singularly focused on the delivery of the Woodlawn Project and I
would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks for their efforts. Importantly, sitting behind this is the supportive guiding hand of the
Heron Board of Directors. The considerable accumulated technical, operational and commercial experience of the Board was further bolstered
with the appointment of Dr Ian Pattison who is not only a well experienced base metal metallurgist but also brings with him previous
experience of Woodlawn that will be a valuable source of knowledge as we enter production.
We continue to have a very positive relationship with the local community. The commencement of significant on site activity has made it
possible to establish commercial arrangements with a number of local service and equipment providers and opportunities to utilise local
specialist contractors. Our recruitment activities also continue to have a strong focus on sourcing candidates from the local area.
Our lead in to the commencement of production looks to be well timed with the commodity markets remaining supportive with good supply-
demand fundamentals. The zinc market has seen a continuation of the steady draw on the available global stocks throughout the year although
prices, which remain well above the 2016 Feasibility Study assumptions, have experienced some volatility as a result of the perceived risks
associated with the escalating US-China trade war. We maintain a view that the pull-back in the zinc price is not consistent with the market
fundamentals, the global zinc stock trends, and mine production shortfalls. We also see that the price volatility is likely to reduce the
probability of financing of new zinc projects (especially those at the higher end of the cost curve) further impinging on potential new supply.
The longer term outlook for our major commodity suite (zinc, copper and lead), on the back of continued global growth trends, remains highly
supportive for the Company’s activities.
We are looking forward to delivering our first concentrate production into the international markets early in 2019 and, after a
long journey, this will mark the formal transition for Heron from an ‘explorer’ at its inception to finally becoming a ‘producer’.
I look forward to keeping shareholders well informed on this progress throughout the remainder of 2018 and into 2019.

HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY (HSEC)
Heron continues to demonstrate its commitment to “Zero Harm” to the Company’s employees, contractors and the communities in which
Heron works and to the environment.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
With the commencement of construction activities at site, Heron incurred one Lost Time Injury (LTI’s) during 2018 (2017 - Nil LTI's). While the
Company strives for zero harm through the highest levels of safety standards, the LTI provides a reminder that we have more to do. The
Company continues to develop risk management systems and processes to support our increased levels of activities. These resources will
continue to be refined as we target further improvements in this critical management area.
ENVIRONMENT
Heron’s HSEC Management System continues to be refined as we accommodate the increased site activity. The Company is committed to
minimising the environmental impacts of our activities and meeting our regulatory obligations. Our work places continue to be monitored and
assessed by both internal and external audits. With the expanded area of disturbance due to the construction activities on site, our
environmental staff have increased their activities to ensure compliance with applicable laws.
COMMUNITY AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Heron continues to increase its involvement and interaction with the local community in parallel with the ramp-up in site activity. The Company
aims to enhance the communities in which we operate through support of local initiatives and by partnering with organisations and not-for-
profit groups to provide better services and improve the livability of the region.
During 2018, the Company undertook quarterly Community Consultation Committee meetings comprising members of the local community,
representatives from the Goulburn-Mulwaree Council, the Tarago Progress Association (TADPAI) and also Veolia Environmental Services, the
operators of the landfill located at the Woodlawn site. The meetings provide a conduit for information flow from the Company to the
community and also to raise matters of interest along with considering the areas which Heron can provide a constructive influence in the local
area. The Community Consultation Committee completed its 2-year term during the year and a new committee is in the process of being
established with an independent Chair being appointed by the Department of Planning and Environment.

WOODLAWN PROJECT
With the completion of Woodlawn financing in September last year, 2018
has been a year of construction and activity at Woodlawn. We expect to
be commissioning the project in late 2018 and into production in early
2019. We will be delivering zinc into a market which is becoming
increasingly constrained from a shortage of mine supply and underlying
strong demand.
The Woodlawn Project remains one of only a few new zinc projects that
has secured development funding and Heron’s transition to becoming a
significant producer of zinc and other metals will be a major milestone for
the Company.

2.0 OPERATIONS REPORT CONTINUED
Woodlawn Project – Development Progress
Construction activities commenced in September 2017, and overall works are now over 80% complete. Structural, mechanical and piping
installation is well advanced, and civil works are 100% complete. Electrical and instrumentation works have commenced. The project remains
on schedule to commence commissioning of the processing plant late in 2018 and deliver the first shipment of concentrate to market in the
first quarter of 2019. Recent project developments include:

Safety & Environment: Disappointingly the project recorded its first lost time injury in August 2018 with investigation
recommendations being adopted and acted on. The Company remains focused on the continual improvement of its risk management
systems and processes that target the wellbeing of our employees and contractors and it remains committed to achieving zero harm.
There has been a significant increase in resources applied to environmental management on site commensurate with the ramp-up in
site activity. While there has been a rapid change in site activities we have not only managed these operational aspects but also
commenced the trial works that will support the longer term site rehabilitation.
Project Development Schedule: The EPC Contractor, Sedgman, is reporting the overall project schedule remains on track for the
commencement of commissioning in the December quarter and at the end of the September quarter the overall project progress was
reported at over 80% complete.
Earthworks: All major earthworks are complete with only minor items to be finalised. This included the preparation of Hickory’s
paddock for process plant construction, the building and refurbishment of site wide access roads, construction of the tailings storage
facility and the excavation of the box cut to permit access to the underground mine.
Project EPC Works: Engineering design and procurement are now both complete. Of special note is the 3MW IsaMillTM which was
delivered to site on 23 July and was craned into position on 15 August. Current work is focused on piping and electrical works. Off-site
fabrications are complete.
Water Treatment: The supply, installation and commissioning of a water treatment plant continues with civil work now underway.
Underground Mine: The underground mining contractor, Pybar Mining Services, has mobilised to site (office, equipment lay down area
etc.) with a specialised underground mining fleet for the initial mine access works. This is typical of a fleet for this scope and consists
of a twin boom development drill, load haul dump unit, underground dump truck, charge-up unit, shotcrete machine and utility vehicles.
This equipment list will be expanded as additional work areas underground are opened up and activities move to include ore production.
Additional infrastructure to support the underground mine is either in place, or under construction including concrete batch plant,
explosives emulsion plant, heavy vehicle workshop and paste plant. At the end of the September quarter access works to the
underground had included final ground support to the box cut and the initial few metres of decline development advance that signified
the commencement of the Woodlawn Underground Mine. The completion of the G2 drilling in the year has provided the opportunity to
access earlier production for the first ore with mine planning work being revised to include this into the activity schedule. Mine planning
work continues on the establishment of the primary ventilation infrastructure, second means of egress, power and pumping
installations.
Tailings Mining: The mining equipment supply, installation and commissioning contract has been awarded to National Pump & Energy,
and the specialist hydraulic mining services contract has been awarded to Paragon Tailings Australia. The combination of project
partners brings the complementary skill sets of proven equipment supply and operational expertise to the tailings hydraulic mining
operations. In addition, these two groups are being employed under a similar arrangement with another Australian operation, also
recovering zinc rich tailings for reprocessing, and this provides a local experience base to call upon. Work is advancing on the hydraulic
mining plant and includes overland pipelines which is progressing to schedule.
Electricity Supply: Under a competitive bid process, the Company entered into an electricity supply contract with a major electricity
provider. Stage 1 power was delivered to site by the end of September and upgrade works to the site substation for the delivery of Stage
2 power is almost complete.
Concentrate Transportation: The domestic transportation of the base metal concentrates to Port Botany and Port Kembla has been
awarded to a Goulburn-based road and rail services provider, Crawford’s Freightliners Pty Ltd. The construction of a dedicated
concentrate container has commenced and will be ready for the planned output from the operation.
Water Management: The Company and Veolia, continue to manage site water in line with the zero discharge requirements for the
site. The EPA has approved Stage 3 dewatering (ongoing operations). A new water bore for mine dewatering is under construction and
will be put into operation in the December quarter.
Community: The Company continues to hold quarterly Woodlawn Community Consultation Committee meetings. The Company also
continues to receive very supportive local feedback for the project development and the wider benefits it will provide the community
through employment opportunities, use of local suppliers and as an active participant in further community advancement.
Personnel: The Company has made good progress in the recruitment of project personnel with applicants being attracted to a new
project and the unique residential options that Woodlawn offers. Senior management, technical and support staff are largely in place
and over the December quarter it is expected that the employee numbers will expand significantly as operational personnel are on-
boarded in preparation for the start of commissioning.

Woodlawn Project – Exploration Drilling Programs
A diamond core drilling (DDH) program commenced in March 2018 aimed at better delineating the Lisa and G2 lenses for extraction in the
early mine schedule. The program was completed in June with 17 holes for 3,225m being drilled. The majority of the drilling was focused on
the G2 Lens with significant assays received to date including:

The intercepts confirm the high-grade base-metal mineralisation within the lens and have better defined the limits of the area. The G2 Lens
will provide early-stage production for the operation. The G2 Hanging Wall surface continues to be characterised by high grade gold and silver
levels within the massive and stringer sulphide zones with results up to 14.2g/t Au and 1,035g/t Ag over 2.0m in hole WNDD0150. These are
some of the highest precious metal intercepts recorded at Woodlawn. The program has extended the G2 lens further towards the rhyolite
contact in the south.
Drilling at Lisa Lens consisted of 3 holes for 725m in the upper part of the lens. The central hole intersected a strong copper result of:
(cid:129)
8.6m @ 3.6% Cu from 203m (WNDD0135)
This high grade copper intercept in the upper part of the lens is encouraging. Further drilling is warranted (from underground) to better define
this position which maintains good potential to add to the early mine production profile.
Full details of these drilling results, including JORC compliance tables can be found in the ASX release dated 4 June 2018 and 21 Sept 2018.
Additional In - Mine Exploration Targets
A number of mine exploration targets are currently being reviewed for their potential to add significantly to the mining inventory further into
the mine life. One of the immediate targets is the combination of the B Extension Lens and the B Copper Lens. The B Extension Lens was
drilled in November 2016 and an Exploration Target of 0.6 – 1.1Mt at grades between 7.0 and 14% ZnEq was defined. The B Copper Lens
has an Inferred Resource of approximately 325,000t grading 2.7% Cu at a 0.5% cutoff (2017 estimate) with a number of key intercepts that
are open and warrant additional drilling including:
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
26m @ 2.7% Cu from 383m (U458), true width approximately 18m
30m @ 2.4% Cu from 849m (WLTD011), true width approximately 28m
A review of the 2014 electro-magnetic surveys has been completed in this area, with at least one anomaly of interest providing a follow-up
target. Drilling requirements are also being reviewed and include an assessment of whether surface or underground drilling is best suited (or
a combination of both).
1 An Exploration Target is a term used within the JORC 2012 Code for an estimate of the exploration potential of a mineral deposit. As used in this release the stated
exploration target is based upon the parameters described in the text, however the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there is insufficient
information to estimate a Mineral Resource and it remains uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource in this area of recent drilling.
Woodlawn Regional Gravity Survey
A detailed, infill, gravity survey over the prospective 'north-west corridor' from Woodlawn to Currawang was recently completed. The survey
covered an area of approximately 62km2 over private land adjacent to the Woodlawn site. A regional scale gravity high has been noted in the
Currawang area since the 1970's although has not been follow-up since then. Gravity surveys measure the density of the underlying rocks
and can in certain situations directly detect certain types of mineralisation. The gravity survey has highlighted the main lithological contacts
between the Currawang Basalt and Woodlawn Volcanics within the north-west corridor and this data combined with the aeromagnetic data
acquired in 2015 has aided the geological interpretation of the regional Woodlawn area. Specific gravity features will be modelled in greater
detail to determine if direct drilling targets present.
The gravity data has highlighted the
Wattle and Montrose Electro-Magnetic
(EM) anomalies that were identified from
historic surface EM surveys undertaken
in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Both
these prospects
lie over a gravity
gradient which indicates the favourable
stratigraphic location between the mafic
and felsic volcanic units. These two
prospects are located to the north-west
of the Woodlawn Mine with the
geophysical responses being modelled in
greater detail and are targeted for
drilling in the next quarter. Land access
agreements and drilling approvals are
being finalised.

G2 Lens - Metallurgical Results
The G2 lens contains three key geo-metallurgical types: 1) G2 Hanging Wall (G2HW) – high grade polymetallic mineralisation with elevated
precious metals; 2) G2 Main Lens (G2 Main) – polymetallic and zinc stringer mineralisation; and 3) G2 Copper (GC) – copper mineralisation.
Composite samples of each G2 lens type and representative of run-of-mine ore (including dilution) were sent for metallurgical test work to test
flotation yields of zinc, copper and lead mineral concentrates. The metallurgical test work for the G2 Lens provided results that indicated better
performance than the feasibility study assumptions. Copper and lead concentrates are of very good quality, and are well above the targets
that were established for the feasibility. Zinc concentrate grades and recoveries are also good, being on or slightly better than target. Also,
the G2HW sample contained notably higher grades of precious metals in the feed ore with resulting elevated silver and gold grades reporting
through to the copper and lead concentrates, dramatically increasing the value of these concentrates.
The strong metallurgical test work results returned for the G2 mineralisation provides the Company with confidence that these ore types will
be able to be readily processed through the plant and may provide the project with improved revenue results in the early stages of underground
mining operations. Full results were provided in the ASX release dated 8 May 2018.
WOODLAWN REGIONAL PROSPECTS
Heron continues to maintain and explore a strategic 1,206km2 tenement package over the prospective Silurian volcanic rocks which host the
Woodlawn VMS deposit. Heron's exploration strategy is to focus on known mineralisation zones with comparable grade and metallurgy to
Woodlawn and within potential trucking distance of the Woodlawn processing facility. The key project areas include Currawang, Peelwood,
Kangiara and Cullarin. In addition, the Burra Project, 60km south of Woodlawn was acquired during the September quarter. Figure 12 shows
the location of these projects.

Currawang Prospect
During the year the results of the Down-Hole Magneto Metric Resistivity (DHMMR) program (completed March 2018) were assessed for four
of the Currawang drill holes (5 DDH holes drill in total for 2,994m, ASX release 16 October 2017). DHMMR is designed to detect poorly
conducting mineralisation such as sphalerite (zinc sulphide) rich bodies and did show a significant anomaly to the east and below the existing
drilling. A review of this anomaly is being undertaken in relation to the geology and alteration in this zone. A review of the other geophysical
data-sets available for the area is also being undertaken.

Peelwood Project
The Peelwood Project1 is located 165km west of Sydney, and 105 kilometres north from the Company’s Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Project in New
South Wales, Australia. (Figures 1,12). It lies within undulating, mostly forested country 800m above sea level, and is underlain by Silurian
aged rocks consisting of the shales and other fine grained sedimentary rocks of the Cuddyong Formation, and the felsic volcanic rocks of the
Kangaloolah Volcanics. VMS style deposits were first mined here in 1890’s with three key centres occurring on the tenements newly pegged
by Heron, namely the Peelwood, John Fardy and Cordillera deposits (Figure 14). Each of these historical deposits includes a number of massive
sulphide lenses located at, or adjacent to, the sheared contact between the Cuddyong Formation and the Kangaloolah Volcanics.
[1] The geological description for the Peelwood deposits are adapted from the publication: Downes, P.M., 2017.

John Fardy Deposit
The John Fardy VMS deposit, located 1km northwest of the Peelwood mine, was discovered in the early 1950s. It is hosted by a steeply west-
dipping sequence of shales (Cuddyong Formation) at the contact with rhyodacitic crystal tuffs of the Kangaloolah Volcanics.
The mineralisation at John Fardy comprises disseminated and massive sulphides up to 20m thick within two lenses separated by a 0.5-5m
zone of altered shale and a pyritic and cherty exhalate which also occurs above and below the mineralised horizon. The massive sulphides
are commonly banded and consist of fine to coarse grained pyrite and sphalerite with minor galena, chalcopyrite and traces arsenopyrite and
tetrahedrite. A JORC (2004) Mineral Resource for the John Fardy deposit was released on the ASX by Sultan Corporation Ltd on the 12
November 2008. However, Heron has not, as yet, been able to source and verify the open-file or other data for this estimate and so cannot
state resource numbers at this stage.
At John Fardy there appears to be excellent potential to delineate a high-grade resource (see Figure 15 cross section over page) and some of
the better, higher grade results include2:

Figure 15: John Fardy Prospect Cross Section
Cordillera Prospect
The Cordillera Prospect is centered on the historic Cordillera mine located 4km north-west of Peelwood (Figure 14). The mine was opened in
1883 and production peaked in 1888 with 9,000t of ore being treated that year producing copper, lead, silver and gold from oxidised ore down
to a depth of 60m. Underground production continued until 1889 and the dumps were reworked in 1928. The mineralisation is considered to
be of a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) type consisting of lenses contained within shales close to the steeply (75-85˚) dipping structural
contact with the overlying coarse grained felsic volcanics.
A 2014 Airborne Electro-Magnetic (AEM) survey undertaken by previous owners has been reviewed by Heron's geophysical consultant who
has identified several bedrock conductors potentially related to mineralisation. In particular, these Electro-Magnetic (EM) conductors (Figure
16) occur along the line of the historically mined mineralisation and have not been tested at depth. The conductors north of the old mine are
modelled starting at some 50m below the surface in an area of known workings (shafts and costeans) with moderate pyrite alteration seen in
the surface felsic volcanic and shale rocks. A program of drilling is being planned to test these conductors. The Company is working through
land owner access arrangements and statutory approvals.
A number of additional modelled EM anomalies at the John Fardy prospect are also being assessed and may provide further drill targets as
part of this program. Subject to suitable drill rig availability, the Company is aiming to drill a number of these targets before the end of the
year.

Burra Project
EL8797 is located over the Queanbeyan Thrust on the eastern side of the Cowra-Yass Trough within the eastern Lachlan Fold Belt and
approximately 65km southwest of Woodlawn. It covers the historic London Bridge and Burra Pb-Ag deposits that were worked in the early
1900's with London Bridge having a reported average production grade of 15% Pb and 765g/t Ag. The area contains Siluro-Devonian
sequences of felsic flows, marine sediments, carbonates and intermediate intrusions known as the Colinton Volcanics, Cappanana Formation
and Bransby Beds. Mineralisation at London Bridge and Burra is hosted within limestone lenses of the Cappanana Formation which is overlain
by the Colinton Volcanics, a time equivalent to the Woodlawn Volcanics to the north. The area is prospective for VMS base metal
mineralisation and previous work most recently by Alderan Resources Ltd has defined a number of significant targets for future work.
Exploration Joint Venture Projects
Heron retains an interest in a high quality tenement holding in the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW and the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.
This tenure is held through farm-in and joint ventures interests and includes several other free-carried residual or royalty interests which
results in minimal costs to Heron.
Alchemy Farm-In and JV (Overflow, Girilambone, Eurow and Yellow Mountain)
Heron entered into a Farm-In Agreement with Alchemy Resources Limited (Alchemy) (ASX: ALY) covering a portfolio of Heron's NSW
exploration tenements (see Figure 1) in May 2016. The Farm-In Agreement covers 674 km2 of the central Lachlan Orogen in NSW, including
the following exploration tenements: EL5878 Overflow, EL7941 Overflow, EL8267 Overflow, EL8192 Eurow, EL8318 Girilambone, and EL8356
Yellow Mountain. An Option Agreement was also finalised in March 2018 with the addition of two tenements EL 8631 Nyngan (Ni-Co) and
EL 8711 Barraba (Mn-Ni-Co) into the existing Alchemy JV for 10M ALY shares (2.3c) and 10M ALY options (strike at 5c).
A program of aircore drilling commenced in early July on the Nyngan project with 80 holes for 4,300m planned. The drilling is designed to
better delineate and expand the known nickel/cobalt mineralisation. Previous drilling results in the area include: 19m @ 1.21% Ni and 0.1%
Co from 36m depth. See ALY:ASX announcement dated 13 July 2018.
Approval for follow-up drilling at Overflow has been delayed due to Native Title clearance, negotiations for this are continuing.

3.0 Corporate Profile
HERON RESOURCES LIMITED (“Heron” or “the Company”) is engaged in the exploration and development of base and precious metal
deposits in Australia. The Company is focused on the development of the high grade Woodlawn Project located 250km southwest of Sydney
in New South Wales.
WOODLAWN ZINC-COPPER PROJECT
Heron holds a direct 100% ownership of the mineral rights at the Woodlawn Mine site situated 40km south of Goulburn and 250km south-
west of Sydney, in southern NSW, Australia (Figure 18). It is Heron’s aim to create a profitable, long-life, low-cost mining operation producing
base metal concentrates.
Heron also holds a portfolio of exploration tenements adjacent to and contiguous with the Woodlawn site covering the prospective felsic
volcanic units that host the Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposit at Woodlawn.
Heron’s principal focus is developing the Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Project which is expected to start commissioning in December 2018. Project
development followed the successful completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in 2015, a Feasibility Study (FS) in June 2016,
and the completion of project financing in September 2017. Construction of the project commenced in September 2017 and is now over 80%
complete. Underground mine development will commence in September. The price outlook for all metals to be produced at Woodlawn, while
seeing some recent volatility, remains relatively strong, particularly for zinc which continues to face a significant supply shortfall.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The Board continues to apply a fair and responsible executive remuneration framework which operates effectively to appropriately incentivise
and reward senior executives and members of the Board to execute our strategy while being aligned with shareholder interests.
At the 2017 Annual General Meeting (AGM), shareholders voted 97.9% in favour of our Remuneration Report.
Changes to remuneration framework for FY2018
To increase the employee retention value of the Long Term Incentive (LTI) scheme and to further align the scheme with shareholders’ interests,
the Board introduced a change to LTI awards in FY2018. At the 2017 AGM shareholders approved a Performance Rights program for LTI awards
and this has been implemented across the Executive Team and the Board of Directors during FY2018.
Non-executive Directors fees
With the increase in the number of Non-executive Directors following the successful completion of the Woodlawn, financing the shareholders
voted to increase the Non-executive Directors fees pool at the 2017 AGM. The Directors fees paid to individual Non-Executive Directors has
not changed in FY 2018 however for FY 2019, the Company intends to remunerate Non-executive Directors who sit on the Audit and
Governance Committee and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee to reflect the additional workload involved.

Remuneration Governance

2.
This section describes the role of the Board, Remuneration Committee and external remuneration advisers when making remuneration
decisions, and sets out an overview of the principles and policies that underpin the Company’s remuneration framework.
2.1 Role of the Board and Remuneration Committee
The Board is responsible for ensuring that the Company’s remuneration structures are equitable and aligned with the long-term interests
of the Company and its shareholders. Consistent with this responsibility, the Board has established a Remuneration Committee, whose
role is to:
-
-
-
Review and recommend to the Board the remuneration of the Executive KMP;
Review and approve the remuneration policies and practices for the Group generally,including incentive plans and other benefits;
and
Review and make recommendations to the Board regarding the remuneration of Non-executive Directors.
The Remuneration Committee comprises four Non-executive Directors: Stephen Dennis (Chairman), Borden Putman III, Fiona Robertson
and Ian Pattison. The Remuneration Committee has a formal charter, which sets out its roles and responsibilities, composition structure
and membership requirements. A copy of this charter can be viewed on Heron’s website.
Further information regarding the Remuneration Committee’s role, responsibilities and membership is set out in the Company’s
Corporate Governance Statement.
2.2 Use of external remuneration advisors
From time to time, the Remuneration Committee seeks and considers advice from external advisors who are engaged by and report
directly to the Remuneration Committee. Such advice will typically cover Non-executive Director fees, Executive KMP remuneration and
advice in relation to equity plans.
The Corporations Act (2001) requires companies to disclose specific details regarding the use of remuneration consultants. The
mandatory disclosure requirements only apply to those advisers that provide a ‘remuneration recommendation’ as defined in the
Corporations Act. The Committee did not receive any such recommendations in FY2018.
The Company does participate in an industry recognised remuneration survey which it uses to assist in the benchmarking of
remuneration across the organisation.
2.3
Executive KMP remuneration principles and framework
The Company’s Executive KMP remuneration framework is based on the following core principles:
-
-
-
-
to ensure the Company’s remuneration structures are equitable and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company and its
shareholders, having regards to relevant Company policies;
to attract and retain skilled executives;
to structure short and long term incentives that are challenging and linked to the creation of sustainable shareholder returns; and
to ensure any termination benefits are justified and appropriate.
These principles are reflected in the Company’s remuneration framework, which is comprised of both fixed and at-risk remuneration
components as indicated below.
Details of each of these components and how they applied during FY2018 are described in the tables below and in Section 3. All STI
and LTI guidelines noted below are subject to Remuneration Committee and Board approval.

Remuneration of the Executive KMP for FY2018
This section describes in greater detail the different components of Executive KMP remuneration for FY2018.
3.1
Benchmarking total remuneration
While benchmarking is a useful starting point, it is only one input used by the Remuneration Committee when determining total
remuneration for the Executive KMP. Executive KMP remuneration is benchmarked against the results of a survey conducted by a
remuneration consulting organisation of similar roles across the Australian mining industry.
The objective of the Board’s positioning remuneration levels in this manner is to ‘meet the market’ so as to attract and retain a leading
management team while still ensuring appropriate restraint in respect of executive remuneration.
Actual market positioning for each individual may deviate from the positioning policy (above or below) due to consideration such as
internal relativities, experience, tenure in role, individual performance and retention considerations.
3.2
Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration received by Executive KMP is subject to review by the Remuneration Committee which will then make
recommendations to the Board for approval. Fixed remuneration is comprised of base salary and superannuation. In line with Company
policy and executives’ service agreements, remuneration levels are reviewed annually based on market benchmarking and individual
performance.
At present, fixed remuneration for Executive KMP is typically positioned between the 25th and 50th percentile of the market comparator
group adopted by the Board.

3.3
STI awards and structure for FY2018
The terms of the STI (1) that applied during FY2018 were.
Who participated
All Executive KMP.
What was the performance period?
The STI for FY2018 operated over a 12 month performance period from 1 July 2017 to
30 June 2018.
What was the target STI award?
In light of the Company’s stage of development and constraints on cash during the
construction of Woodlawn, Executive KMP’s STI remained a discretionary award
determined at the end of the year in light of KMP’s performance against KPI’s and the
Company’s capacity to fund such awards.
The STI amount actually awarded to each Executive KMP in FY2018 is shown in section
3.7, with a conservative approach being adopted in FY 2018 ahead of Woodlawn’s
planned start-up in FY 2019
What were the performance conditions,
why were they chosen and how were
they assessed?
Heron has chosen performance conditions that expressly link to the strategy and motivate
out-performance of annual business plans. The following KPIs were adopted as
performance conditions and applied to the FY2018 STI:
-
-
-
-
Zero harm to employees and contractors
All construction and project activities to meet Woodlawn project schedule
including key milestones
Project capital and operating expenditures to be within Budget
Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent to draw down of the Silver Stream and
Senior Debt
At the commencement of FY2018, the Board set Target KPIs, the achievement of which
was expected to be critical to the success of the Company as it began construction at
Woodlawn.
The Remuneration Committee and the Board assessed and approved the STI performance
conditions applying to the CEO’s STI award. The performance conditions for Other
Executive KMP were assessed by the CEO and approved by the Board following the
recommendation of the Remuneration Committee.
The weightings of each performance condition are set out in the following table.

LTI awards and structure for FY2018
The terms of the FY2018 LTI grants to Executive KMP were:
Who participated
All Executive KMP.
How will LTI be delivered?
FY2018 LTI Awards that vest will be delivered in the form of performance rights, being
rights to receive ordinary shares at no cost.
What was the value of LTI awards granted?
What is the exercise price for LTI awards?
What are the performance conditions?
Why was this performance
conditions chosen?
The CEO was granted LTI awards with a face value equal to 62% of his TFR, the COO was
granted LTI awards with a face value equal to 47% of his TFR. The KMP-GM’s were
granted LTI awards with a face value equal to between 40-47% of their TFR. Other
Executive KMP were granted LTI awards with a face value equal to between 40-45% of
their TFR.
LTI awards were granted in performance rights. An independent valuation was
undertaken to determine the value of Performance Rights using Monte Carlo simulation.
No discount was applied to the valuation in respect of the probability of the performance
conditions being met. Shareholder approval was obtained at the 2017 Annual General
Meeting for the FY2018 grant of LTI awards to the CEO.
There is no exercise price payable on vesting or exercise of the performance rights. On
exercise, each performance right entitles the recipient to one ordinary share in the
Company.
Vested rights will have a last date for exercise that is 3 years following the grant date.
(Last Exercise Date). On the Last Exercise Date, vested but unexercised rights will be
automatically exercised if the TSR performance hurdle is achieved (see below).
100% of the award is subject to a relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance
hurdle (TSR Hurdle), which compares the TSR performance of the Company with the TSR
performance of a peer group of companies operating in the Australian and overseas
resources sectors.
The TSR Hurdle was chosen because:
1.
2.
3.
It allows for an objective external assessment of the shareholder value created by
the Company relative to a group of peers over a sustained period; and
It is widely adopted metric that is well understood by markets, and
It seeks to align management performance with shareholder interests
What are the performance periods?
Each TSR Award is capable of vesting and becoming exercisable after a three a year
performance period, with the performance period commencing on 1 July 2017.
How will the performance condition be
calculated for the TSR Awards?
For the TSR Hurdle, the TSR of the Company for the FY2018 LTI grant is measured as a
percentile ranking compared to the below comparator group of listed entities over the
relevant performance period for the tranche. The TSR comparator group was established
before the commencement of the respective performance period.
Red River Resources
Aurelia Metals
Sandfire Resources
Trevali
Titan Mining Corp
Silver Lake Resources
Perseus Mining
Mincor Resources
Atalaya
Central Asia Metals
Beadell Resources
Havilah Resources
Western Areas
Nevsun
Continued next page
Heron Resources Limited - Annual Report 2018 - Page 39
4.0 DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUED
How will the performance condition be
calculated for the TSR Awards? CONT
The level of vesting will be determined based on the ranking against the comparator
group companies in accordance with the following schedule:
-
-
-
-
At the 75% percentile or above – 100% of the TSR Awards vest;
Between the 50th and 75th percentile – vesting will occur on a pro rata straight
line basis;
At 50th percentile – 50% of the TSR Awards vest; and
Below the 50th percentile – no TSR Awards vest.
In respect of the FY2018 LTI grant, unless the Remuneration Committee determines
otherwise, the TSR of a Company for a performance period will be calculated adopting the
following determination of the relevant opening and closing share prices:
-
-
The volume weighted average share price over the 20-trading day period
commencing 10 trading days before 30 June 2017 (opening share price); and
The volume weighted average share price over the corresponding 20-trading day
period at the conclusion of the performance period ending 30 June 2020, as
applicable (closing share price).
Re-testing
All performance awards that do not vest following testing will lapse immediately. There
is no re-testing of awards that do not vest.
What happens in the event of a
change in control?
In the event of a takeover bid or other transaction, event or state of affairs that in the
Board’s opinion is likely to result in a change in control of the Company, the Board has
discretion to determine that vesting of some or all of any unvested performance awards
should be accelerated.
Do the performance rights and options
attract dividend and voting rights?
LTI Awards do not have any dividend or voting rights prior to vesting and exercise.
Shares allocated on exercise of performance rights rank equally with other ordinary
shares on issue, including in relation to dividend and voting rights. Participants are
required to comply with the Company’s securities trading policy in respect of their
performance rights, options and any shares they receive upon exercise. They are
prohibited from hedging or otherwise protecting the value of their performance rights and
options.
What happens if an executive ceases
employment during the performance period?
In general, unless the Board determines otherwise, where an executive’s employment is
terminated:
-
-
-
For cause or due to resignation: all unvested performance awards will lapse; or
By mutual agreement with the Company: unvested performance awards will remain
on foot and subject to the original performance hurdle. However, the Board may at
its discretion determine to lapse any or all of the unvested performance awards
and ordinarily, in the case of a resignation, would be expected to do so; or
For any other reason: unvested performance awards will remain on foot and subject
to the original performance hurdle, with Board discretion to determine that some
of the performance awards (up to a pro rata portion based on how much of the
performance period remains) will lapse. The performance awards that remain on
foot will be tested in the normal course following the end of the relevant
performance period.

circumstances where the Board considers the executive to be a ‘good leaver’, outgoing executives will generally retain a pro-rata share of
entitlements (subject to satisfying any applicable performance conditions in the case of LTI arrangements).

Non-executive Director remuneration
This section explains the fees paid to Non-executive Directors during FY2018.
6.1
Setting Non-executive Director fees
Non-executive Directors fees are designed to ensure that the Company can attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced Non-
executive Directors.
Non-executive Directors may also receive share options, performance rights and, in exceptional circumstances, a performance-related
payment as part of their fees from the Company. Although there is no formal minimum shareholding, Non-executive Directors are
encouraged to hold shares.
Non-executive Directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for travel and other expenses reasonably incurred when attending meetings
of the Board or in connection with the business of the Company.
The Remuneration Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to Non-executive Directors’ fees and
Committee fees.
In 2017 the shareholders approved a total aggregate maximum of Non-executive Directors’ fees of $750,000 per annum.
6.2 Current Non-executive Director fee levels and fee pool
The table below sets out the Board and Committee fees in Australian dollars for FY2019.
The Board has reviewed Non-executive Director fees for FY2019 against the market. The Company has not increased Directors Board
fees since the 2014 merger with TriAusMin. For the upcoming financial year Board and Committee fees have been determined as
follows;
Chair
Member
Board
Remuneration Committee
Audit Committee
$90,000
$8,500
$10,000
$70,000
$5,000
$5,000
The fees set out above exclude mandatory statutory superannuation contributions made on behalf of the Non-executive Directors. It is
not proposed to issue any additional options or performance rights to Non-executive Directors under the LTI awards for 2019 FY other
than to Mr Ian Pattison who will be allocated Performance Rights at the same level (90,000) as the other Non-executive Directors
subject to shareholder approval at the 2018 AGM.
In addition to the meetings that the Non-executive Directors attended (as shown on page 40), the Non-executive Directors participated
in regular site visits to Woodlawn.

5.0 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
NOTE 1.
STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company is a public company limited by shares. The Company was incorporated in Western Australia.
The Company is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by Heron Resources Limited and its controlled entities (the Company)
in the preparation of the financial statements.
a)
Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
(AASB's) (including Australian interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act
2001.
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards (AIFRS). The financial report also complies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
In the application of AIFRS, 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 factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of
making judgment. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale
financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit and loss, certain classes of
property, plant and equipment and investment property.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the full year financial report are consistent with
those adopted and disclosed in the Company’s 2018 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.
Exploration expenditure is transferred from ‘Exploration and evaluation assets’ to ‘Mines under construction’ which is a sub-category
of ‘Mine properties’ once the work completed to date supports the future development of the property and such development receives
appropriate approvals.
After transfer of the exploration and evaluation assets, all subsequent expenditure on the construction, installation or completion of
infrastructure facilities is capitalised in ‘Mines under construction’. Development expenditure is net of proceeds from the sale of ore
extracted during the development phase to the extent that it is considered integral to the development of the mine. Any costs incurred
in testing the assets to determine if they are functioning as intended, are capitalised, net of proceeds received from selling any product
produced while testing. Where these proceeds exceed the cost of testing, any excess is recognised in the statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income. After production starts, all assets included in ‘Mines under construction’ are then transferred to
‘Producing mines’ which is also sub-category of ‘Mine properties’. Concentrate produced from ore extracted during the development
phase and sold will be recorded as revenue.
b)
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power, directly or indirectly, to govern the
financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at their cost of acquisition in the Company's financial statements.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting
policies.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Company, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been
eliminated on consolidation.
c)
Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the notional income
tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are
recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The
relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax
asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability.
No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a
business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
Page 54 - Heron Resources Limited - Annual Report 2018
5.0 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and
when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity
has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability at the
same time.
The resulting deferred tax assets of the Company are currently not recognised and included as an asset because recovery is not
considered probable in the next five years.
Heron Resources Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of
1 July 2003.
d)
Segment reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged in the minerals industry in Australia. The Company's
activities are divided into three main categories and this information is presented on the same basis as the internal reports provided to
the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and
assessing their performance. The CODM reviews segmental information on a monthly basis vs budget. The accounting policies adopted
for internal reporting are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.
Woodlawn – Tenements related to the Woodlawn Project
Exploration – Tenements not Woodlawn related.
Corporate – Corporate activity.
e)
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns,
duties and taxes paid. The main revenue is interest received, which is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate
method.
f)
Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses where
applicable.
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of
property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation and amortisation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of
their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Motor Vehicles
3-5 years
Fixtures and Fittings
5-15 years
Plant and Equipment
5-15 years
Buildings
15-25 years
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 profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period
in which they are incurred.
g)
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is expensed immediately unless it relates to a specific project in which
case it is carried forward to the extent that it is expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area, or by its sale.
During 2018 all expenses capitalised relate to the Woodlawn project.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon
the area is made.
Accumulated costs are not carried forward in respect of any area of interest unless rights to tenure of that area are current.
h
Provision for Rehabilitation
Restoration costs that are expected to be incurred are provided for as part of the cost of the exploration, evaluation and development
phases that give rise to the need for restoration.
A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of development activities
undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the provision
can be measure reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of abandoning sites, removing facilities and restoring
affected areas.
The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value (including an appropriate discount rate relevant to
the time value of money plus any risk premium associated with the liability) of the expenditure required to settle the restoration
Heron Resources Limited - Annual Report 2018 - Page 55
5.0 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED
obligation at the reporting date. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the
present value of the restoration provision.
The initial estimate of the restoration and rehabilitation provision is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and amortised on the
same basis as the related assets, unless the present obligation arises from the production of inventory in the period, in which case the
amount is included in the cost of production for the period. Changes in the estimate of the provision for restoration and rehabilitation
are treated in the same manner, except that the unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognized as a finance cost
rather than being capitalised into the cost of the related asset.
i)
Investments
Investments held by the Company are classified as being available-for-sale financial assets and are stated at fair value, being the
market value of the shares held at balance date. Where a reduction in value is significant or prolonged it is recognised as impairment
in the statement of profit or loss, with any other resultant gain or loss recognised in equity and included in other comprehensive income.
Where these investments are derecognised, the cumulative gain and loss previously recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit
and loss. Where these investments are interest bearing, interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Financial instruments classified as held for trading or available-for-sale investments are recognised/derecognised by the Company on
the date it commits to purchase/sell the investment. Securities held to maturity are recognised/derecognised on the day they are
transferred to/by the Company.
j)
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at their cost and are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of invoicing.
k)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with the banks, other short term liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts, if any, are shown within short-term borrowings on the
statement of financial position.
l)
Impairment
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 cost 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.
m)
Employee benefits
(i)
Wages and salaries, annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries and annual leave are recognised as employee benefits in respect of employees’ services up to the
reporting date and are measured at the amounts to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii)
Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected
future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected
future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service and final average salary.
n)
Share-based payment transactions
The Company provides benefits to the Directors and employees of the Company in the form of share based payment transactions,
whereby services are rendered in exchange for shares or rights over shares ("Equity-settled transactions").
An Employee Share Option Plan ("ESOP") and a Performance Rights Program (zero exercise price options) provides benefits to Directors,
employees and consultants.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value
is determined by using either the Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo model.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of
the shares of Heron Resources Limited ("market conditions").
The cost of equity-settled securities is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the
performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant individual becomes fully entitled to the award ("vesting
date").
Where the Company acquires some form of interest in an exploration tenement or an exploration area of interest and the consideration
comprises share-based payment transactions, the fair value of the equity instruments granted is measured at grant date. The cost of
equity securities is recognised within capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure, together with a corresponding
increase in equity.

5.0 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED
o)
Provisions
Provisions for legal claims and service warranties are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a
result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been
reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by
considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one
item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
p)
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are stated at cost. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid on 30 days.
q)
Dividends
No dividends have been paid or proposed during or since the end of the year.
r)
Goods and services tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST
incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition
of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the ATO
is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
s)
Contributed equity
Incremental costs directly attributed to the issue of new shares or options are shown in the equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the
proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included
in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
t)
Financial Liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings,
payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are
recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee
contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification and are described below.
u)
Debt
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR
amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part
of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
v)
Silver Stream
The Company has accounted for the Silver Stream as a financial liability under AASB139. Financial Liabilities are assessed at fair value
through profit or loss. These liabilities include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial
recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition,
and only if the criteria in AASB 139 are satisfied. The Group has designated its Silver Stream financial liability as at fair value through
profit or loss.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing
financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of
a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Heron Resources Limited - Annual Report 2018 - Page 57

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED
w)
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The
key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and
liabilities within the next annual reporting period include the Provision for Rehabilitation (refer Note 1(h)), the Silver stream (refer Note
1 (w)) and the Woodlawn Asset under Construction. Other Assets and Liabilities subject to significant accounting judgments, estimates
and assumptions include:
Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment if there is any indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Where a review for impairment is conducted, the recoverable amount is assessed by reference to the higher of 'value in use' (being net
present value of expected future cash flows of the relevant cash generating unit) and 'fair value less costs to sell'.
Share based payment transactions
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 by using either the Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo methodology.
Options in Ardea Resources Ltd
During 2017, the Company received 10,000,000 options with an exercise price of $0.25 cents in Ardea Resources as consideration for
the costs incurred by Heron in the Ardea IPO. The fair value is determined by using either the Black-Scholes or Binomial methodology.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
Heron Resources has adopted the following new and amended accounting standards from 1 July 2017:
AASB 2015-2 Disclosure Initiative Amendment to AASB 101 - This Standard amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to
clarify existing presentation and disclosure requirements and to ensure entities are able to use judgement when applying the Standard
in determining what information to disclose, where and in what order information is presented in their financial statements
AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation.
The amendments clarify the principle in AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment and AASB 138 Intangible Assets that revenue reflects
a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset is part) rather than the economic
benefits that are consumed through use of the asset.
Adoption of these standards did not have any material effect on the Statement of Financial Performance, Statement of Comprehensive
Income and Statement of Financial Position of the Group.
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted
by the Consolidated Entity for the year ended 30 June 2018. At this time the following standards and interpretations may have an
impact, but the extent of this is not expected to be material:
AASB 2016-2 Disclosure Initiative - The amendments to AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows require entities to provide disclosures about
changes in their liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes (such
as foreign exchange gains or losses).
AASB 9 Financial Instruments - A new standard which replaces AASB 139. This new Standard version includes a model for classification
and measurement for all financial assets and liabilities, a single, forward-looking ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model and a
substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. (Company 1
July 2018).
A finalised version of AASB 9 has been issued which contains accounting requirements for financial instruments, replacing AASB 139
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The standard contains requirements in the areas of classification and
measurement, impairment, hedge accounting and derecognition. The Group has determined that the impact of the new standard on the
Group’s financial report will be immaterial. This standard applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and
will be applicable for the Group for the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2018."
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. 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. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. (Company 1 July
2018). As the Group is not generating revenue, there is no impact on current reporting.
AASB 16 Leases. AASB 16 requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model in a similar way to finance
leases. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. (Company 1 July 2019). All existing operating leases (as
disclosed in the commitment note) are expected to come on to the Balance Sheet. At this time the interpretation may have an impact,
but the potential extent of this has not been determined as the company does not currently have significant operating leases and would
depend on establishment of any new operating lease arrangements.
Page 58 - Heron Resources Limited - Annual Report 2018
5.0 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. The Interpretation clarifies the application of the recognition and measurement
criteria in IAS 12 Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2019. (Company 1 July 2019).
x)
Capital risk management
The Group's and the parent entity's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so
that they can continue to fund exploration activities and develop or secure access to a cash producing asset.
Consistent with others in the industry, the Group and the parent entity monitor capital on the basis of working capital requirements and
capital expenditure commitments.
During 2018 the Group's strategy, was to maintain a current account balance sufficient to meet the Company's day to day expenses
and near-term capital expenditure commitments with the balance held in term deposits, while maintaining sufficient cash, term deposits
and undrawn debt facilities to meet the projected development costs of Woodlawn through to projected peak cash draw.
y)
Fair value
Management assessed that the fair values of cash and short term deposits, receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities
approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Under AASB 139, the company’s long term debt and Silver Stream will continue to be reported as Financial Liabilities.
The company has elected to measure the Silver Stream at fair value under AASB 139 based on the US exchange rate and the price of
Silver (both spot and forward curve prices) at each reporting date. Once Woodlawn is in production, actual Silver reserves and discount
(risk) rate will also be used to assess fair value. Any gain or loss from the movement of the price of silver and from the foreign exchange
rate will be taken up in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Senior Debt is accounted for under the amortisation cost method under AASB 139, with the initial measurement being taken up at
fair value and subsequent measurement at amortised cost. This debt will be revalued according to the US exchange rate at each
reporting period and any gain or loss will be taken up in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Fair value measurement
IFRS establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritises the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives
the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities sand the lower priority to
unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the
measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The Silver Stream was classified as Level 3 as its valuation is based on the Silver price at 30 June 2018.
The fair value of the silver stream obligation is calculated using a combination of spot Silver prices, forward Silver prices, the risk free
interest rate derived from the RBA and expected silver ounces to be delivered from the Woodlawn project life of mine model.
Investments in Listed Entities was classified as a Level 1 valuation at 30 June 2018

The Heron Resources Limited group of companies was tax consolidated on 1 July 2003 and during FY2017 the Company entered into tax
sharing and/or tax funding agreements with its members.
The parent entity made a tax loss and on consolidation the group made a tax loss during the year. The parent and the subsidiaries have
approximately $123M in tax losses carried forward in both Group losses and Transferred Losses Due to the uncertainty of offsetting these
tax losses with future taxable income, the carried forward tax losses are not recognised as an asset on the Balance Sheet as at 30 June
2018.
The Directors are of the view that there is insufficient probability that the parent entity and its subsidiaries will derive sufficient income in
the foreseeable future to justify recognising the tax losses and temporary differences as deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities.
Heron Resources Limited is the head entity for the group.

Silver Stream
The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Tarago Operations Pty Ltd, entered into a financing agreement with OMF Fund II (H) Ltd
during the year. This agreement included a Silver Streaming arrangement of US$16 million, which the Company received on the 8th of
March 2018. The sum received has been accounted for as a Financial Liability at fair value through profit and loss. Under this agreement,
the Company will deliver 80% of the Silver extracted from the Woodlawn Mine (SML20) until it has delivered 2,150,000 ounces of Refined
Silver, followed by 40% of the Silver in the mine until it has delivered 3,400,000 of Refined Silver, and thereafter 25% of the Refined Silver
extracted from the mine.
Heron has elected to fair value the entire instrument. The obligation represents a derivative liability for the silver price option feature
included in the agreement and will therefore be remeasured at each balance sheet date at fair value with the movement being recorded in
the profit and loss. The obligation resulted in an unrealised fair value (loss) of ($1,018) for the year ended 30 June 2018 which has been
included in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

NOTE 15. BORROWINGS - NON CURRENT CONTINUED
A Loan Facility for US$60 million with funds to be drawn in 3 tranches, was provided as part of the financing agreement with OMF Fund II
(H) Ltd. The first tranche of US$20M was drawn on the 29th of May 2018. The second tranche was drawn down on 26 September 2018 and
the third and final tranche is expected to be drawn down in December 2018. The funding rate is the aggregate of a margin of 7.25% and the
applicable Libor rate, being a minimum of 2.5%, for each interest period. The loan was initially recorded at fair value less associated
transaction costs. The proceeds from draw down was considered to represent the fair value of the facility at that time. The loan is
subsequently measured at amortised cost. Under the agreement, Heron has to maintain a cash balance of not less than $15 million in its
Tarago Operations subsidiary operating accounts.

With respect to Woodlawn, the rehabilitation provision both on the date that construction activities began and as at 30 June 2018, is based
on the assessment of an independent environmental consultant using the NSW Department of Resources and Energy (DRE) rehabilitation
cost estimation tool. The rehabilitation costs are the estimated costs to rehabilitate the mine site areas that the company is responsible for
as at 30 June 2018. Given that tailings re-processing is a rehabilitation activity the company will assess the adequacy of the rehabilitation
provision at each balance sheet date.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial risk management
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity
risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and
seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with counterparty’s inability to fulfil its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily
attributable to cash and accounts receivable. Cash consists of cash on hand with reputable financial institutions. Financial instruments
included in accounts receivable consist of GST receivable from government authorities in Australia and deposits held with vendors.
Management believes that credit risk with respect to financial instruments included in cash and accounts receivable is low.
Liquidity risk (all financial numbers in ‘000s)
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at 30 June
2018, the Company had cash of $65,532 (30 June 2017: $11,690) to settle current liabilities of $7,549 (30 June 2017: $3,025).
A significant portion of the current cash on the Balance Sheet will be utilised for the construction of the Woodlawn Mine via the EPC contract
with Sedgman.
As at 30 June 2018 the Company also had undrawn debt facilities of US$40M which together with the cash on its balance sheet will be used
to meet the ongoing development costs of the Woodlawn mine through to peak cash draw.

Apart from provision for employee entitlements (e.g. Annual Leave), most of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of
less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity
prices. The Company continues to monitor the long term assets and assesses the value of the asset on a regular basis.
Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in term deposits with banks.
The Company’s debt is subject to a market based interest rate (LIBOR + margin). The Company continues to assess the short and long term
interest rate risk on its debt.
Foreign currency risk
The Company's functional reporting currency is the Australian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Australian dollars and to a lesser
extent, US dollars.
The Company funds the development of Woodlawn and administrative expenses using a combination of Australian dollars and US dollars. The
company holds sufficient currency in native denominations to fund its ongoing currency obligations.
During FY2018, the Company entered into Foreign Currency Hedges (AUD Call options) to hedge the conversion of the majority of the US
denominated debt into Australian dollars.

NOTE 23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CONTINUED
Commodity price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on
earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices as it relates
to valuable minerals to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. The ability of the Company to develop its
properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of nickel, zinc, lead and copper and certain other
metals.
As the Company moves closer to commercial production in early 2019, the Company will investigate appropriate commodity hedging
strategies.

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration and mining tenements, the Company estimates the following annual
exploration expenditure up until expiry or relinquishment of the mining tenure with the NSW Department of Resources and Energy. Due

reliably determined. These obligations are not provided for in the financial statements and are payable based on granted tenements:
Not later than 1 year

If the Company decides to relinquish certain leases and/or does not meet these obligations, assets recognised in the statement of
financial position may require review to determine the appropriateness of carrying values. The sale, transfer or farm-out of exploration
rights to third parties will reduce or extinguish these obligations. Those amounts detailed above include expenditure commitments
which are the responsibility of earn-in / joint venture partners. If those joint venture partners continue to meet the expenditure
commitments under respective joint venture / earn-in agreements, the estimates detailed above will reduce.
b)
Operating Lease Commitments
The Company has leased two office premises under non-cancellable operating leases for periods of five years and one year. Lease
amounts include a base amount, plus variable outgoings and car parking and are subject to an annual rent review by way of the

8.5 Zinc equivalent calculation for the Woodlawn Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
The zinc equivalent ZnEq calculation takes into account, mining costs, milling costs, recoveries, payability (including transport and refining
charges) and metal prices in generating a Zinc equivalent value for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn. ZnEq = Zn%+Cu%*3.12+Pb%*0.81+*Au
g/t*0.86+Ag g/t*0.03. Metal prices used in the calculation are: Zn US$2,300/t, Pb US$ 2,050/t, Cu US$6,600/t, Au US$1,250/oz and Ag
US$18/oz. These metal prices are based on Heron's long term view on average metal prices. It is Heron's view that all the metals within this
formula are expected to be recovered and sold. Metallurgical metal recoveries used for the formula are: 88% Zn, 70% Pb, 70% Cu, 33% Au
and 82% Ag; these are based on historical recoveries at Woodlawn and supported by metallurgical testwork undertaken during the 2015-16
feasibility study. Commodity prices and metallurgical recoveries are factored into the zinc equivalent calculation using a standard metal
equivalent formula.

Reserves according to the levels of confidence in geological knowledge and technical and economic considerations in Public Reports.
Level means Horizontal series of developments all at the same distance measured from the surface
m means metre and km means kilometres
Mt means million tonnes
Mineralisation means in economic geology, the introduction of valuable elements into a rock body
Page 90 - Heron Resources Limited - Annual Report 2018
10.0 GLOSSARY CONTINUED
Mineral Resource means a Mineral Resource as defined by JORC Code and is a concentration or occurrence of material of intrinsic economic
interest in or on the earth’s crust in such form, quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.
Mineral Resources are further sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories.
Measured Resource means a ‘Measured Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade (or quality),
densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of Modifying Factors to
support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed
and reliable exploration, sampling and testing gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits,
workings and drill holes, and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade (or quality) continuity between points of observation where
data and samples are gathered. A Measured Mineral Resource has a higher level of confidence than that applying to either an Indicated
Mineral Resource or an Inferred Mineral Resource. It may be converted to a Proved Ore Reserve or under certain circumstances to a
Probable Ore Reserve
Indicated Resource means an ‘Indicated Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade (or quality),
densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of Modifying Factors in
sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from
adequately detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as
outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes, and is sufficient to assume geological and grade (or quality) continuity between points
of observation where data and samples are gathered. An Indicated Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying
to a Measured Mineral Resource and may only be converted to a Probable Ore Reserve.
Inferred Resource means an ‘Inferred Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade (or quality) are
estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological
and grade (or quality) continuity. It is based on exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques
from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence
than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to an Ore Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the
majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continue exploration.
Ore Reserves as defined by JORC Code
Proven Ore Reserve means the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials and
allowances for losses which may occur when the material is mined. Appropriate assessments, which may include Feasibility Studies,
have been carried out, and include consideration of and modification by realistically assumed mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing,
legal, environmental, social and governmental factors. These assessments demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction could
reasonably be justified. The term "economic" implies that extraction of the Ore Reserve has been established or analytically
demonstrated to be viable and justifiable under reasonable investment assumptions.
Probable Ore Reserve is the economically mineable part of an Indicated Mineral Resource.
Pb means lead
Project means a grouping of prospects within a specific geographic location, often with a common geological setting
Prospect means a target upon which exploration programs are planned or have commenced
Province means a grouping of projects within a geological district defined by a major mineralised crustal structure
RAB means Rotary Air Blast drilling technique in which a sample is returned to surface outside the rod string by compressed air. Sample
quality is poor
RC means Reverse Circulation drilling method employing a rotating or hammering action on a drill bit which returns a sample to the surface
inside the rod string by compressed air. Sample quality is very good, particularly if the drill hole is dry
Zn means zinc
ZnEq means zinc equivalent calculation:
The zinc equivalent ZnEq calculation takes into account, mining costs, milling costs, recoveries, payability (including transport and refining
charges) and metal prices in generating a Zinc equivalent value for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn. ZnEq = Zn%+Cu%*3.12+Pb%*0.81+*Au
g/t*0.86+Ag g/t*0.03. Metal prices used in the calculation are: Zn US$2,300/t, Pb US$ 2,050/t, Cu US$6,600/t, Au US$1,250/oz and Ag
US$18/oz. These metal prices are based on Heron's long term view on average metal prices. It is Heron's view that all the metals within
this formula are expected to be recovered and sold. Metallurgical metal recoveries used for the formula are: 88% Zn, 70% Pb, 70% Cu,
33% Au and 82% Ag; these are based on historical recoveries at Woodlawn and supported by metallurgical testwork undertaken during
the 2015-16 feasibility study. Commodity prices and metallurgical recoveries are factored into the zinc equivalent calculation using a
standard metal equivalent formula.
