CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW 
Dear Shareholder 

The 2019 financial year has been one of significant growth for the Company and a year with improving sentiment and 
commodity prices for the resources sector in general.  

With continuing concerns around the global economy, trade wars and increased geopolitical tension, the safe haven of 
gold has seen a marked increase in the US$ gold price and record A$ gold prices with the decrease in the Australian 
dollar.  Sentiment  has  improved  across  the  sector  with  the  larger  producers  reaching  all  time  high  share  prices  and 
investment interest now turning to the emerging producers and quality explorers.  

Locally,  Western  Australia  and  the  goldfields  region  has  had  another  exceptional  year  with  the  mid-tier  producers 
reporting continued record production, cash balances and performance metrics putting them well and truly on the world 
stage. Whereas organic growth had been the focus in 2018, more corporate activity is now clearly evident with the larger 
cashed up companies completing major acquisitions both domestically and overseas. The trend of the larger companies 
entering joint ventures with smaller developers and explorers has also continued in what remains a challenging capital 
market for juniors.   

The Company has made significant progress during the year with the successful merger with MacPhersons Resources 
Limited and a number of successful drilling campaigns across the portfolio. On the back of the merger, the Company has 
re-branded itself to Horizon Minerals Limited with the goal of becoming the regions next gold producer. No capital raisings 
were required during the year and the Company remains in a strong financial position to self-fund future organic growth.  

A number of highly successful drilling campaigns totalling 37,356m were completed across the Company’s existing and 
newly acquired tenure and our Resource position has grown 54% to 667,500 ounces. With the addition of the large scale 
Boorara project 15km east of Kalgoorlie from the merger, Horizon’s Resource now totals over 1.2Moz. 

Drilling was completed at the Anthill, Teal, Blister Dam, Olympia, Scotia and Windanya prospects with excellent results 
culminating in both resource growth, new maiden resources and successful testing of high priority new regional targets. 
This has enabled mine evaluation work to be completed as part of the consolidated Feasibility Study due in mid-2020 
and provided a number of follow up targets for drilling in FY20. 

The Company continued to work on the potential acquisition of the Coolgardie gold project after entering an Exclusivity 
Deed with Focus Minerals in February 2019. A number of divestments were also completed including the sale of our 
interest  in  Lehman’s  to  Saracen  for  A$2.5  million  in  cash  and  a  royalty.  Subsequent  to  year  end,  the  Menzies  and 
Goongarrie gold projects were also divested for a total consideration of A$8 million. 

Existing joint ventures with AXF Vanadium and Mithril Resources progressed during the year as did discussions with 
new  potential  partners  that  can  provide  mutual  benefit.  The  Joint  Venture  with  AXF  covering  the  world  class  2.6Bt 
Richmond  Vanadium  project  has  generated  considerable  excitement  with  the  development  of  Vanadium  redox  flow 
batteries  and  we  look  forward  to  AXF  completing  detailed  metallurgical  testwork  to  advance  the  project  to 
commercialisation. 

We’d like to take the opportunity to thank all our Board members, staff, contractors and you, our shareholders, for your 
support  during  the  year.  We  would  also  like  to  acknowledge  Peter  Hunt’s  retirement  as  a  director,  after  providing 
outstanding service to the company spanning a 30 year period, and wish him well in his future endeavours.  A special 
thank you and welcome to our new Board members Ashok Parekh and Jeff Williams and the MacPhersons team on site 
at Boorara.   

The Horizon team look forward to keeping you fully informed as the business grows in what will be another very exciting 
year ahead.

OPERATIONS REPORT 

CORPORATE

ISSUED CAPITAL 

At 30 June 2019, Horizon Minerals Limited had 427,975,200 fully paid ordinary shares on issue.   

COMPANY INVESTMENTS 

At 30 June 2019, Horizon held 7,151,109 fully paid ordinary shares and 595,926 listed options exercisable at 24 cents 
on or before 30 June 2021 (ASX: RWDOA) in Reward Minerals Ltd (ASX: RWD) valued at approximately $605,461. 

At 30 June 2019, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $5.086M. 

MERGER WITH MACPHERSONS RESOURCES LTD 

As announced to the ASX on 11 and 14 December 2018, Horizon (formerly Intermin) and MacPhersons Resources Limited 
(MacPhersons) (ASX: MRP) executed a Merger Implementation Agreement (MIA) to combine the two companies by way of 
a Scheme of Arrangement, subject to MacPhersons shareholder and court approval.  

This Scheme of Arrangement was approved by MacPhersons shareholders on 31 May 2019 and the Supreme Court of 
Victoria on 6 June 2019, and was implemented on 14 June 2019. 

As a result, MacPhersons is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Horizon (formerly Intermin), with the transaction enabling 
the  creation  of  a  new  emerging  mid-tier  gold  production  business  named  Horizon  Minerals  Limited  (as  approved  by 
Intermin shareholders on 24 July 2019) with a significant asset portfolio and an expedited pathway to production. The 
consolidation  of  the  baseload  Boorara  project  (Figure  2),  with  approvals  in  place  and  the  higher  grade  surrounding 
projects  within  easy  trucking  distance  provides  the  critical  mass  to  underpin  an  expedited  mine  development  and 
production pathway. 

In accordance with the Scheme, Horizon (formerly Intermin) has issued 192,586,736 fully paid ordinary shares (“shares”) 
as consideration for the transfer of MacPhersons shares under the scheme to Horizon (formerly Intermin). Out of those 
192,586,736  Horizon  (formerly  Intermin) shares  issued,  2,754,384  were  issued  to  the  sale  agent  to  sell  on  behalf  of 
ineligible foreign shareholders (refer to the Scheme Booklet released to the ASX by MacPhersons on 17 April 2019 for 
further details). This process is now complete. 

Normal trading of these new Horizon (formerly Intermin) shares commenced on Monday 17 June 2019. 

Horizon  (formerly  Intermin)  has  also  granted 2,743,184  unlisted  options,  each  exercisable  at $0.2912  on or  before 9 
December  2019  and  219,456  unlisted  options,  each  exercisable  at  $0.6988  on  or  before  28  February  2020,  in 
consideration for the cancellation of all MacPhersons options that were on issue as at 14 June 2019. 

Following  the  completion  of  the  merger,  Horizon  (formerly  Intermin)  has  commenced  integration  of  the  assets  into  a 
consolidated Feasibility Study due for completion in the first half of 2020. As part of the Study, an updated independent 
Mineral Resource estimate for Boorara is being compiled together with mine optimisation and design work to generate 
Ore Reserves and an initial mine development and production plan. 

POTENTIAL ACQUISITION OF THE COOLGARDIE GOLD PROJECT 

As  announced  to  the  ASX  on  11  February  2019,  the  Company  entered  into  an  Exclusivity  Deed  for  the  potential 
acquisition of the Coolgardie gold project from Focus Minerals including the 1.2Mtpa Three Mile Hill processing plant 
currently  on  care  and  maintenance.  At  year  end,  both  companies  continued  to  progress  formal  documentation  and 
required approvals and, as announced to the ASX on 2 July 2019, extended the exclusivity period by 3 months.  

As the potential transaction remains subject to the negotiation of, and entry into, formal documentation and the receipt 
of necessary approvals, there remains no assurance that the potential transaction will proceed. Neither Focus nor Horizon 
is under any obligation to proceed with the potential transaction or to enter into the formal documentation unless they are 
satisfied in all respects with the terms and conditions of the formal documentation.

TEAL GOLD PROJECT AREA – EXPLORATION 

Horizon (formerly Intermin) undertook a comprehensive resource RC drill program in 2018 at Teal, Jacques Find, Peyes 
Farm and  Yolande.  Drilling activities  at  Teal  were  concluded  June  2018.  In  total  23,510m  were  drilled as  part of  the 
planned 55,000m program.  A final summary of results from the programs were announced to the ASX on 19 September 
2018 and shown below:

7m @ 4.47g/t Au from 34m and 12m @ 2.33g/t Au from 105m 

Subsequent to this, 555m of resource extension/new discovery drilling was then completed as part of the 11,000m 2019 
campaign.  

The drilling programs have been highly successful in extending mineralisation both along strike and at depth with four 
parallel mineralised structures identified along a 2km strike zone. Mineralisation remains open in all directions with new 
targets identified from a large scale auger program to the south. Reconnaissance drilling intercepted mineralisation to 
both the east and west of the Teal open pit and will be followed up in FY20. 

As announced to the ASX on 19 September 2018, the new data was used to compile a detailed independent Mineral 
Resource Estimate which is compliant with the JORC 2012 Code. 

The updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Teal project area stands at 4.25Mt grading 2.11g/t Au for 289,000 ounces 
(at a 1g/t Au lower cut-off grade) (see Table 1 and Competent Persons Statement on Page 13).

25m @ 2.53g/t Au from 132m and 23m @ 3.22g/t Au from 174m 

The drilling programs have been highly successful in extending mineralisation to the south and extending the strike length 
by  over  200m.  New  mineralisation  was  also  intercepted  to  the  east  of  the  resource  envelope  and  aligned  with  the 
dominant  NW  “Zuleika  Shear”  stratigraphy.  Mining  studies  at  Anthill  commenced  during  the  period  with  expected 
completion in mid-2020 as part of the consolidated Feasibility Study. Further extensional drilling is also planned.

BINDULI GOLD PROJECT AREA – EXPLORATION 

The Binduli project is located 9km west of Kalgoorlie – Boulder immediately adjacent to the Company’s Teal project area 
(Figures 2 and 6). In March 2018, the Binduli joint venture tenements were returned to Horizon (formerly Intermin) on a 
100% basis with the Company commencing an initial 5,000m RC program at the Crake prospect shortly thereafter.  

During  2018,  Horizon  (formerly  Intermin)  drilled  8,108m  (including  2,620m  drilled  prior  to  FY  2019)  into  the  Crake 
prospect to assist in building an initial JORC compliant resource. Following on from this another 1,098m was drilled at 
Crake from June to July 2019 and was designed to improve the confidence level of the resource plus follow up, shallow 
open ended mineralisation.  Another 3,512m were drilled at regional prospects at Coote, Darter and Honeyeater.  

Results from Crake were announced to the ASX on 12 March and 25 June 2019 and included:

8m @ 3.01g/t Au from 112m and 12m @ 1.71g/t Au from 44m 

Results from the drilling show significant gold mineralisation over a 450m strike length and remains open along strike 
and at depth. Follow up drilling continues at Crake with a further 5,000m planned to test further extensions and test new 
high priority targets at Coote, Honey Eater and Darter (Figure 3). 

Given the success to date at Binduli, the project has been elevated to one of the top four core projects being advanced 
by the Company in the Kalgoorlie region as part of the consolidated Feasibility Study.

BLISTER DAM GOLD PROJECT – EXPLORATION 

The Blister Dam project is located 70km northwest of Kalgoorlie – Boulder on the Zuleika and Kunanulling shear zones 
(Figures 2 and 7). Since acquisition in 2016, the Company has completed a detailed review of the large geological data 
base comprising geochemical, geophysical and historic drilling datasets in order to prioritise targets for ranking and drill 
testing. An Induced Polarisation (“IP”) survey, geological mapping and rock chip sampling were also completed and 21 
high priority targets generated. 

Of the 21 targets identified at Blister Dam, nine of these were subject to first pass drilling. The program was completed 
in December 2017 with 46 Reverse Circulation (“RC”) holes drilled for 4,180m to an average depth of 150m. In 2018, the 
Company conducted follow up drilling at Atlantic, Argo, Seven Seas, Chadwin and Loran with 6,954m completed. 

Results from the programs were announced to the ASX on 6 February and 20 December 2018 and included:

KALGOORLIE REGIONAL GOLD PROJECTS – EXPLORATION 

During  the  year,  exploration  drilling  continued  on  our  regional  projects  with  1,619m  drilled  at  the  Menzies,  Olympia, 
Baden Powell-Scotia and Windanya prospects (Figure 2). In addition, significant field work, rock chip sampling, historic 
mine mapping, geochemical and geophysical reviews were undertaken to identify priority targets for drilling in FY2020. 
These prospects included Kanowna north, Lakewood, Yarmany, Windanya, Black Flag, Scotia, Broads Dam and Area 
54. 

Work completed on new acquisitions at Boorara, Lakewood and Yarmany included data compilation, data base review 
and desk top geological studies. The resultant drilling programs will commence in FY2020 pending final granting of the 
leases. The low cost acquisitions have increased the Company’s tenure to approximately 1,100km2. 

MENZIES AND GOONGARRIE GOLD PROJECT 

As  announced  to  the  ASX  on  7  February  2019,  the  Company  agreed  to  a  Deed  of  Settlement  and  Termination  with 
Eastern Goldfields Ltd covering the Menzies and Goongarrie farm in joint venture with the projects returning to Horizon 
on a 100% basis. 

Subsequent to year end and as announced to the ASX on 9 July 2019, the Company reached agreement with Kingwest 
Resources Limited to divest the project for a total consideration of A$8 million enabling the Company to focus on its core 
projects in the Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie regions. 

Horizon will become a substantial shareholder in Kingwest with Board representation and will have a right to process or 
purchase  any  ore  from  the  sale  tenements  under  standard  commercial  terms.  For  further  details  on  the  divestment, 
please see announcements of 9 July 2019 and 18 September 2019.

LEHMANS GOLD JV – EXPLORATION PROJECT

As announced to the ASX on 7 November 2018, the Company agreed to divest its interest in the Lehmans Gold Joint 
Venture to Saracen Mineral Holdings for A$2.5 million in cash and a capped royalty. Holding a non-core minority holding 
in a project in the North Eastern goldfields was considered a distraction from our focus of building a gold business in the 
Kalgoorlie region with the consideration strengthening the Company’s financial position. 

M26/446 (JANET IVY) GOLD PRODUCTION ROYALTY 

Horizon  owns  a  $0.50/t  mining  royalty  that  relates  to  ore  mined  and  treated  from  Mining  Lease  M26/446  located 
approximately 10km west of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in Western Australia (Figure 2). The Company entered into a Deed for 
the sale of M26/446 in 2001 and it is now owned by Norton Gold Fields Ltd (“NGF”) which was delisted from the ASX on 
1 July 2015.  

As part of the sale, the Company was prepaid $1,380,000 of the royalty as part of the acquisition cost, equivalent to a 
mining and treatment tonnage of 2.76Mt ($0.50/t). Mining has been conducted on a semi-continuous basis at the Janet 
Ivy deposit which is the largest of known deposits on M26/466 since 2009.  

During  the  year,  royalties  received  from  the  royalty  tenement  totalled  $395,000.  Horizon  anticipates  further  royalty 
payments on a quarterly basis for material scheduled by NGF to be treated. 

RICHMOND VANADIUM JV – EXPLORATION PROJECT (IRC retains 25%) 

In March 2017, the Company finalised a strategic development JV with AXF Vanadium Pty Ltd, now Richmond Vanadium 
Technologies Pty Ltd (“RVT”). The JV covers Horizon’s 100% interest in the Richmond vanadium project in North West 
Queensland (Figures 8 and 9) which include metal rights at the nearby Julia Creek project which is owned by Global Oil 
Shale Plc. The project tenements cover 1,520km2 of Cretaceous Toolebuc Formation hosting shallow oxide ore within 
marine sediments.

Under the JV, RVT has earnt in to 25% of the project by spending A$1 million and committed to spend a further $5 million 
by March 2021 to earn in the remaining 50% inclusive of providing a pre-feasibility study. 

In March 2018, the Company released an updated Mineral Resource estimate for the project to account for changes in 
tenement boundaries and to ensure compliance with the JORC Code (2012) The Mineral Resource for the Richmond 
Project area now stands at 2,579Mt at 0.32% V2O5 at a 0.29% lower cut-off grade (see Table 2 and Competent Persons 
Statement on Page 13).

OPERATIONS REPORT 

During the year, RVT continued metallurgical test work in China focussed on optimising pre-concentration of the ore and 
downstream processing metallurgical testwork with preliminary results indicating encouraging upgrade potential.  

As announced to the ASX on 29 April 2019, physical separation resulted in 73% of the vanadium recovered into 21% of 
the  original  mass  at  a  grade  of  1.58%  V2O5.  This  reduced  mass  and  upgrade  ratio  enables  a  potentially  smaller 
downstream processing plant at significantly reduced capital cost. In addition, the results show a much larger reduction 
in  the  calcium  content  than  expected  with  only  4%  reporting  to  the  concentrate  fraction.  This  low  calcium  content,  if 
repeatable, enables both the acid digestion and roasting downstream pathways to be evaluated that can potentially lead 
to lower operating costs. 

These results provided JV partner AXF with growing confidence in the quality of the project and formed the basis to move 
to the next stage where a further $5 million has been committed by AXF to further optimise pre-concentration, commence 
downstream processing test work and develop a pathway to commercial production.  

During the year, a 3,303m infill and regional drilling program commenced across the property to test a number of priority 
targets and to upgrade the Lilyvale resource to the Measured and Indicated categories as part of the pre-feasibility study  

Horizon sees significant  potential  of  vanadium  to  play  an  increasing  role  in  both  the  steel  industry  and  the  emerging 
battery storage space and for the Richmond oxide sediment resource to be a considerable provider of vanadium well 
into the next century. The drilling, updated resource model and the pre-feasibility study is expected to be completed in 
2020, ahead of the contracted earn in period.

NANADIE WELL Cu-Ni-Co-PGE-Au JV - EXPLORATION PROJECT (IRC retains 25%) 

The Nanadie Well Project is located approximately 100km south east of Meekatharra in the Murchison Mineral Field of 
WA and covers an area of ~145km2 (Figure 1). In December 2013, Horizon (formerly Intermin) entered into a Farm-in 
and Joint Venture agreement with Mithril Resources Ltd (ASX: MTH) (“Mithril”) whereby Mithril could earn a 75% interest 
by  spending  $4M  over  6  years.  The  project  is  highly  prospective  for  Copper, gold,  nickel,  cobalt and  platinum group 
elements. 

The Project covers part of a northwest trending belt of Archean mafic and metasedimentary units with demonstrated 
prospectivity for both magmatic copper–nickel–PGE mineralisation and lode gold mineralisation. The project hosts the 
Nanadie  Well  copper  deposit  where  a  2004  JORC  Code  Compliant  Inferred  Resource  of  36.07Mt  @  0.42%  copper 
(151,506 tonnes copper) was estimated by Horizon (formerly Intermin) in September 2013 (refer ASX announcement 
dated 19 September 2013). 

During the year Mithril completed predominantly desktop work and some minor field work.

OPERATIONS REPORT 

FORWARD LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS 

Some  statements  in  this  report  regarding  estimates  or  future  events  are  forward  looking  statements.  They  include 
indications of, and guidance on, future earnings, cash flow, costs and financial performance. Forward looking statements 
include, but are not limited to, statements preceded by words such as “planned”, “expected”, “projected”, “estimated”, 
“may”,  “scheduled”,  “intends”,  “anticipates”,  “believes”,  “potential”,  “could”,  “nominal”,  “conceptual”  and  similar 
expressions.  Forward  looking  statements,  opinions  and  estimates  included  in  this  announcement  are  based  on 
assumptions and contingencies which are subject to change without notice, as are statements about market and industry 
trends, which are based on interpretations of current market conditions. Forward looking statements are provided as a 
general guide only and should not be relied on as a guarantee of future performance. Forward looking statements may 
be affected by a range of variables that could cause actual results to differ from estimated results, and may cause the 
Company’s actual performance and financial results in future periods to materially differ from any projections of future 
performance or results expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include 
but are not limited to liabilities inherent in mine development and production, geological, mining and processing technical 
problems,  the  inability  to  obtain  any  additional  mine  licenses,  permits  and  other  regulatory  approvals  required  in 
connection with mining and third party processing operations, competition for among other things, capital, acquisition of 
reserves,  undeveloped  lands  and  skilled  personnel,  incorrect  assessments  of  the  value  of  acquisitions,  changes  in 
commodity prices and exchange rate, currency and interest fluctuations, various events which could disrupt operations 
and/or the transportation of mineral products, including labour stoppages and severe weather conditions, the demand 
for  and  availability  of  transportation  services,  the  ability  to  secure  adequate  financing  and  management’s  ability  to 
anticipate and manage the foregoing factors and risks. There can be no assurance that forward looking statements will 
prove to be correct. 

Statements regarding plans with respect to the Company’s mineral properties may contain forward looking statements 
in  relation  to  future  matters  that  can  only  be  made  where  the  Company  has  a  reasonable  basis  for  making  those 
statements. 

This report has been prepared in compliance with the JORC Code (2012) and the current ASX Listing Rules. 

The  Company  believes  that  it  has  a  reasonable  basis  for  making  the  forward  looking  statements  in  its  reports  and 
announcements,  including  with  respect  to  any  production  targets  and  financial  estimates,  based  on  the  information 
contained in this and previous ASX reports and announcements. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - RESERVES AND RESOURCES CALCULATIONS  

Due to the nature, stage and size of the Company’s existing operations, Horizon (formerly Intermin) is of the opinion 
there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Mineral Reserves and Resources committee responsible 
for reviewing and monitoring the Company’s processes for calculating Mineral Reserves and Resources and for ensuring 
that the appropriate internal controls are applied to such calculations. However, the Company ensures that all Mineral 
Reserve and Resource calculations are prepared by competent, appropriately experienced geologists and are reviewed 
and verified independently by a qualified person.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR (continued) 

(d) 

Coolgardie Gold Project  
During the year ended 30 June 2019, Horizon entered into an Exclusivity Deed with Focus Minerals Limited (ASX:

The Exclusivity Deed includes “no shop” and “no talk” restrictions in favour of Horizon as well as notification and 
matching  rights  in  respect  of  any  competing  proposals  for  the  Coolgardie  Gold  project,  subject  to  customary

from $40 million to $55 million comprising $12 million in fully paid ordinary shares (based on 20 day VWAP) and

Performance Rights  

Further details on the performance and valuations attaching to the performance rights are included in Note 21a to the 
Financial Statements. 

The fair value of the rights was determined using a Hoadley’s Barrier 1 model. A total amount of $273,377 is included in 
the Statement of Financial Performance and Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended 30 June 2019 (2018 - 
$458,725), of which $224,560 (2018 - $365,400) is attributable to KMP.  

The assessed fair value at grant date of performance rights granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period 
from grant date to vesting date, and the amount is included in the remuneration tables above.  Fair values at grant date 
are  independently  determined  using a  Hoadley’s  Barrier  1 model  that  takes into  account  the  vesting  condition  of  the 
rights,  the  impact  of  dilution,  the  share  price  at  grant  date  and  expected  price  volatility  of  the  underlying  share,  the 
expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the rights.

DIRECTORS' REPORT 

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS 

During  the  financial  year,  the  Group  maintained  an  insurance  policy  which  indemnifies  the  Directors  and  Officers  of 
Horizon Minerals Limited in respect of any liability incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as Directors 
or Officers of the Group.  The Group's insurers have prohibited disclosure of the amount of the premium payable and the 
level of indemnification under the insurance contract.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES 

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor or a related practice of 
the auditor is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. 

No non-audit services have been provided by the Company’s auditors in year ended 30 June 2019.  Remuneration paid 
to the Company’s auditors is detailed in Note 18 of this report.   

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION 

In  accordance  with  section  307C  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  the  Directors  have  obtained  a  Declaration  of 
Independence from Rothsay Auditing, the Group’s auditor, as presented on page 34 of this Annual Report.  

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION 

The  Group’s  exploration  and  mining  operations  are  subject  to  environment  regulation  under  the  laws  of  the 
Commonwealth  and  the  States.  The  Company  holds  exploration/mining  tenements  in  Western  Australia,  Northern 
Territory and Queensland and thus is subject to the Mining Acts of these states, each with specific conditions relating to 
environmental management. In some instances bonds are held by the Company’s bank in favour of the Minister for Mines 
to be released to the Company when the Minister is satisfied that conditions imposed on tenement licences have been 
met.  In some jurisdictions Cash Bonds must be lodged with the relevant Department until conditions are fulfilled. Bonds 
currently in place in respect of the Company’s tenement holdings are tabulated below. 

Tenement Number 

Tenement Name 

MLs150, 151 

White Range 

Bond Held $ 

257,927* 

*Pursuant  to  the  White  Range  Mining  Tenement  Sale  Agreement  dated  18  January  2013  the  Purchaser  Red  Dingo 
Corporation Pty Ltd is required to replace the Security Bond allowing refund of the current $257,927 to Horizon Minerals 
Limited. 

The Directors advise that during the year ended 30 June 2019, no claim has been made by any competent authority that 
any environmental issues, no condition of license or notice of intent has been breached, and no claim has been made 
for increase of bond. 

The Directors have considered compliance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 which requires 
entities to report annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use.  For the measurement period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 
2019 the directors have assessed that there are no current reporting requirements, but may be required to do so in the 
future. 

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF COMPANY 

No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group or intervene in any proceedings to 
which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those 
proceedings. 

The Group was not a party to any such proceedings during the year. 

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of directors, and signed for on behalf of the board by:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Reporting Entity
This financial report of Horizon Minerals Limited (‘the Company’) for the year ended 30 June 2019 comprises the 
Company and its subsidiary (collectively referred to as ‘the Consolidated Entity or the Group’).  Horizon Minerals 
Limited  is  a  company  limited  by  shares  incorporated  in  Australia  whose  shares  are  publicly  traded  on  the 
Australian Securities Exchange. The financial report was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of 
Directors dated 27 September 2019. 

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the 
financial report. 

1a 

Basis of preparation 

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian

Horizon Minerals Limited is in Australian Dollars.  

Compliance with IFRSs 
The financial statements of Horizon Minerals Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations  
In the year ended 30 June 2019, the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018. 

Adoption of new and amended accounting standards 
A  number  of  new  or  amended  standards  became  applicable  for  the  current  reporting  period  and  the

AASB 9 Financial Instruments - Impact of Adoption 
AASB  9  replaces  the  provisions  of  AASB  139  that  relate  to  the  recognitions,  classification  and 
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment 
of financial assets and hedge accounting.  

The  adoption  of  AASB  9  from  1  July  2018  resulted  in  no  material  changes  in  accounting  policies  and 
adjustments  to  the  amounts  recognised  in  the  financial  statements.  The  Company  assessed  which 
business  models  apply  to  the  financial  assets  held  by  the  Company  and  has  classified  its  financial 
instruments into the appropriate AASB 9 categories.  

There was no impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements as a result of adoption.  

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Impact of Adoption 
The  Company  has  adopted  AASB  15  from  1  July  2018  which  has  no  material  impact  to  the  amounts 
recognised in the financial statements. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are 
not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the company for the annual reporting period ended 30 
June 2019. The company’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations, most relevant to the company, are set out below.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted (continued) 

 AASB 16 Leases 
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard 
replaces  AASB  117  'Leases'  and  for  lessees  will  eliminate  the  classifications  of  operating  leases  and 
finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial 
position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the 
lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets 
(such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby 
either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A 
liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, 
lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or 
dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation 
charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease 
liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the 
lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA 
(Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating 
expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification 
within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing 
activities)  and  interest  (either  operating  or  financing  activities)  component.  For  lessor  accounting,  the 
standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The company will adopt this 
standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Company. 

The Company has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not 
yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2019. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that 
there  is  no  impact,  material  or  otherwise,  of  the  new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  on  its 
business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Company accounting policies. 

Historical Cost Convention 
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the 
revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets. 

Critical Accounting Estimates 
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.  It also 
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.  
The  areas  involving  a  higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where  assumptions  and 
estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 30.

Principles of consolidation 

(i) 

Subsidiaries 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  Horizon  Minerals 
Limited and its controlled entities, Black Mountain Gold Ltd and MacPhersons Resources Limited.  
MacPhersons  Resources  Limited  was  acquired  on  14  June  2019  pursuant  to  a  Scheme  of 
Arrangement  (refer  to  Note  22)  including  its  subsidiaries  (refer  Note  25).  As  at  30  June  2019, 
Horizon Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the 
Consolidated Entity or the Group. 

Control exists where the Company has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to 
the  financial  and  operating  policies  of  another  entity  so  that  the  other  entity  operates  with  the 
Company to achieve the objectives of the Company.  All inter-company balances and transactions 
between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits and losses have been eliminated on 
consolidation.  Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of the consolidated entities are 
shown  separately  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive  income  and  consolidated 
statement of financial position respectively. 

Where  control  of  an  entity  is  obtained  during  a  financial  year,  its  results  are  included  in  the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control commences. They 
are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

(ii) 

Joint ventures 

Joint ventures entered into are not separate legal entities but rather are contractual arrangements 
between the participants for the sharing of costs and output and do not in themselves generate 
revenue and profit.  Details of the joint ventures are set out in Note 30.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

1c 

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 national 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.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Deferred  tax  liabilities  and  assets  are  not  recognised  for  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying 
amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent is able to control the timing of 
the  reversal  of  the  temporary  differences  and  it  is  probable  that  the  differences  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

Current  and  deferred  tax  balances  attributable  to  amounts  recognised  directly  in  other  comprehensive 
income/equity are also recognised directly in other comprehensive income/equity.

The  charge  for  current  income  tax  expense  is  based  on  the  profit  for  the  year  adjusted  for  any  non-
assessable  or  disallowed  items.  It  is  calculated  using  the  tax  rates  that  have  been  enacted  or  are 
substantially enacted by the reporting date. 

The  amount  of  benefits  brought  to  account  or  which  may  be  realised  in  the  future  is  based  on  the 
assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the 
economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and 
comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. 

The Group is consolidated for income tax purposes effective 1 July 2016. 

1d 

Revenue recognition 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.  Amounts disclosed as 
revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.  Revenue is 
recognised for major business activities as follows: 

(i) 

Sale of gold 

Revenue  from  the  sale  of  goods  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  or 
receivable. Revenue is recognised when the significant risk and rewards of ownership have been 
transferred  to  the  buyer,  recovery  of  the  consideration  is  probable,  the  associated  costs  and 
possible return of goods can be estimated reliably and the amount of revenue can be measured 
reliably.  

(ii) 

Interest income 

Interest  revenue  is  recognised  on  a  proportional  basis  taking  into  account  the  interest  rates 
applicable to the financial assets. 

(iii)  Other services 

Other debtors are recognised at the amount receivable and are due for settlement within 30 days 
from the end of the month in which services were provided.

1e 

Mineral prospects and exploration expenditure thereon

The Group’s policy with respect to exploration expenditure is to write off all costs unless the directors and 
management are of the view that there is a reasonable prospect that the costs may be recovered in future 
income years. Costs that may reasonably be expected to be recovered are capitalised to the statement of 
financial  position  as  a  non-current  asset  and  accumulated  separately  for  each  area  of  interest.    Such 
expenditure  comprises  net  direct  cash  and  where  applicable,  an  apportionment  of  related  overhead 
expenditure. 

Each  area  of  interest  is  limited  to  a  size  related  to  a  known  or  probably  mineral  resource  capable  of 
supporting a mining operation.  Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest unless 
the Group’s right to tenure to that area of interest is current.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to 
carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.  At 30 June 2019, the Directors considered that the 
carrying value of the mineral tenement interests of the Group was as shown in the accounts and did not 
need adjusting.   

Exploration and evaluation assets are transferred to Development Phase assets once technical feasibility 
and  commercial  viability  of  an  area  of  interest  is  demonstrable.  Exploration  and  evaluation  assets  are 
tested for impairment, and any impairment loss is recognised, prior to being reclassified.  

1f 

Mine properties and mining assets

Mine  properties  represents  the  acquisition  cost  and/or  accumulated  exploration,  evaluation  and 
development expenditure in respect of areas of interest in which mining has commenced.  

Mine  development  costs  are  deferred  until  commercial  production  commences.  When  commercial 
production is achieved mine development is transferred to mine properties, at which time it is amortised 
on a unit of production basis based on ounces mined over the total estimated resources related to this 
area of interest.  

Significant factors considered in determining the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project 
are the completion of a feasibility study, the existence of sufficient resources to proceed with development 
and approval by the board of Directors to proceed with development of the project.  

Deferred stripping costs 

Stripping is the process of removing overburden and waste materials from surface mining operations to 
access the ore. Stripping costs are capitalised during the development of a mine and are subsequently 
amortised over the life of mine on a units of production basis, where the unit of account is ounces of gold 
sold. 

1g 

Non-derivative financial assets existing on or acquired after 1 July 2009 

The classification and measurement model for financial assets existing on or acquired after 1 July 2009, 
the date the Group adopted AASB 9, is outlined below. 

Financial assets at amortised cost and the effective interest rate method 

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if the following conditions are met: 

 
 

 

the objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the asset to collect contractual cash flows; 
the  contractual  cash  flows  give  rise,  on  specified  dates,  to  cash  flows  that  are  solely  payments  of 
principal and interest on the principal outstanding; and 
the group does not irrevocably elect at initial recognition to measure the instrument at fair value through 
profit or loss to minimise an accounting mismatch. 

Amortised cost instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction 
costs.  Subsequent to initial recognition the carrying amount of amortised cost instruments is determined 
using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Non-derivative financial assets existing on or acquired after 1 July 2009 (continued) 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial  assets  other  than  equity  instruments  that  do  not  meet  the  above  amortised  cost  criteria  are 
measured at fair value through profit or loss. This includes financial assets that are held for trading and 
investments that the Group manages based on their fair value in accordance with the Group’s documented 
risk management and/or investment strategy. 

Equity instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the Group irrevocably elects at 
initial recognition to present the changes in fair value in other comprehensive income as described below. 

Upon initial recognition, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognised at fair 
value  and  any  transaction  costs  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  when  incurred.    Subsequent  to  initial 
recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes 
therein are recognised in profit or loss. 

1h 

Impairment of assets 

Mining tenements assets and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to 
amortisation  and  are  tested  annually  for  impairment,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.  Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever 
events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be  recoverable.    An 
impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable 
amount.  The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use.  
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are 
separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or 
groups  of  assets  (cash-generating  units).    Non-financial  assets  other  than  goodwill  that  suffered 
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 

1i 

Plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment.  Historical cost includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.  

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 
Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.  All other repairs and maintenance are charged 
to profit and loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and 
equipment over its expected useful life to the Group.  The expected useful lives are as follows: 

Plant and equipment            5 - 10 years. 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting 
date.  An  asset's  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset's 
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 1h). 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount.  These are 
included in the profit and loss.   

1j 

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less 
provision for doubtful debts.  Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date 
of recognition. 

Collectability  of  trade  receivables  is  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.    Debts  that  are  known  to  be 
uncollectible  are  written  off.  An  allowance  account  (provision  for  impairment  of  trade  receivables)  is 
established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due 
according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is recognised in the profit and 
loss.

Trade and other payables 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the 
financial year and which are unpaid, together with assets ordered before the end of the financial year.  The 
amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

1l 

Employee benefits 

(i) 

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to 
be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of 
employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid 
when the liabilities are settled.

Annual leave has been accrued as at 30 June 2019. 

(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  using  the  projected  unit  credit  method.  
Consideration  is  given  to  expected  future  wage  and  salary  levels,  experiences  of  employee 
departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields 
at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, 
as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Long service leave has been accrued as at 30 June 2019. 

(iii) 

Share-based payments 

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to directors through the granting of options and 
performance rights. 

The  fair  value  of  options  and  performance  rights  granted  by  the  Group  are  recognised  as  an 
employee  benefits  expense  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity.    The  total  amount  to  be 
expensed  is  determined  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  options  and  performance  rights 
granted, which includes any market performance conditions but excludes the impact of any service 
and non-market performance vesting conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions. 

Non-market  vesting  conditions  are  included  in  assumptions  about  the  number  of  options  and 
performance rights that are expected to vest.  The total expense is recognised over the vesting 
period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.  At 
the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected 
to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions.  It recognises the impact of the revision to 
original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. 

1m  Cash and cash equivalents 

For  statement  of  cashflows  presentation  purposes,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  includes  cash  on  hand, 
deposits  held  at  call  with  financial  institutions,  other  short-term,  highly  liquid  instruments  with  original 
maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are 
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.  Bank overdrafts are shown within 
borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

1n 

Borrowings 

Borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  incurred.    Borrowings  are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost.  Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) 
and the redemption amount is recognised in the profit and loss over the period of the borrowings using the 
effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not incremental costs 
relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-
line basis over the term of the facility. 

Borrowings  are  classified  as  current  liabilities  unless  the  Group  has  an  unconditional  right  to  defer 
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

1o 

Leases 

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the entity has substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership  are  classified  as  finance  leases.  Finance  leases,  including  hire  purchase  agreements,  are 
capitalised at the lease's inception at the lower of fair value of the leased property and the present value 
of  the  minimum  lease  payments.    The  corresponding  rental  obligations,  net  of  finance  charges,  are 
included in other long-term payables.  Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance 
cost.  The finance cost is charged to the profit and loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant 
periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.  The property, plant and 
equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the 
lease term. 

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are 
classified as operating leases.  Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received 
from the lessor) are charged to the profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 

1p 

Fair value estimation

The  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  must  be  estimated  for  recognition  and 
measurement or for disclosure purposes. 

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and 
trading  and  available-for-sale  securities)  is  based  on  quoted  market  prices  at  the  reporting  date.    The 
quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price: the appropriate 
quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price. 

The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to 
approximate their fair values.   

1q 

Goods and services tax 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated goods and services tax 
(GST), unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority.  In this case it is recognised 
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net 
amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or 
payables in the statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis.  The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or 
financing  activities  which  are  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation  authority,  are  presented  as 
operating cash flows. 

1r 

Contributed equity  

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of  new  shares  or  options  are  shown  in  equity  as  a 
deduction from the proceeds.  Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options 
for  the  acquisition  of  a  business  are  not  included  in  the  cost  of  acquisition  as  part  of  the  purchase 
consideration. 

If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, e.g. as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments 
are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the 
profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income 
taxes) is recognised directly in equity. 

1s 

Provisions 

Provisions for legal claims recognised when the Group has a present legal 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.

Provisions (continued) 

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required 
to settle the present obligation at the reporting date.  The discount rate used to determine the present value 
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. 

1t 

Segment reporting 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief 
operating  decision  maker.  The  chief  operating  decision  maker  has  been  identified  as  the  steering 
committee that makes strategic decisions. 

1u 

Borrowing costs 

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of 
time that is required to complete and prepare the assets for its intended use or sale.  Other borrowing costs 
are expensed. 

1v 

Earnings per share 

(i) 

(ii) 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  profit  attributable  to  equity  holders  of  the 
Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, 
adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. 

Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted  earnings  per  share  adjusted  the  figures  used  in  the  determination  of basic  earnings  per 
share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated 
with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have 
been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

1w 

Rehabilitation costs 

The  Group’s  mining,  extraction  and  processing  activities  give  rise  to  obligations  for  site  rehabilitation.  
Rehabilitation obligations can include facility decommissioning and dismantling; removal or treatment of 
waste materials; land rehabilitation; and site restoration.  The extent of work required and the associated 
costs  are  estimated  based  on  feasibility  estimates  using  current  restoration  standards  and  techniques.  
Provisions  for  the  cost  of  each  rehabilitation  program  are  recognised  at  the  time  that  environmental 
disturbance occurs. 

Rehabilitation  provisions  are  initially  measured  at  the  expected  value  of  future  cash  flows  required  to 
rehabilitate the relevant site.   

At  each  reporting  date  the  rehabilitation  liability  is  re-measured  to  account  for  any  new  disturbance, 
updated cost estimates, changes to the estimated lives of operations and new regulatory requirements. 

1x 

 Business combinations 

 The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business 
combinations  involving  entities  or  business  under  common  control,  regardless  of  whether  equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary 
comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred, and the equity interests issued by 
the  Group.  The  consideration  transferred  also  includes  the  fair  value  of  any  contingent  consideration 
arrangement and the fair value of any pre−existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition−related 
costs  are  expensed  as  incurred.  Identifiable  assets  acquired,  and  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities 
assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at 
the  acquisition  date.  The  excess  of  the  consideration  transferred,  the  amount  of  any  non−controlling 
interest in the acquiree and the acquisition−date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree 
over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If 
those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the 
measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a 
bargain purchase.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

1x 

 Business combinations (continued) 

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which 
the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is 
incomplete.  These  provisional  amounts  are  adjusted  during  the  measurement  period  (see  above),  or 
additional  assets  or  liabilities  recognised,  to  reflect  new  information  obtained  about  facts  and 
circumstances  that  existed  as  of  the  acquisition  date  that,  if  known,  would  have  affected  the  amounts 
recognised as of that date.

SEGMENT INFORMATION 
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports 
reviewed by the Board that are used to make strategic decisions. 

The Board considers that the reportable segments are defined by the nature 
of  the  exploration  activities.  As  such  there  are  two  reportable  segments 
being Vanadium/Molybdenum tenements and Gold tenements.

INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

The taxation benefits of tax losses and timing not brought to account will only 
be obtained if: 

  assessable  income  is  derived  of  a  nature  and  of  amount  sufficient  to 

enable the benefit from the deductions to be realised; 

  conditions for deductibility imposed by the law are complied with; and 
 no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the realisation of the benefit 

from the deductions.

In  June  2019,  Horizon acquired  100%  of the  issued capital  of  MacPhersons 
Resources Ltd and its subsidiaries – Refer Note 22 for details.  

As  at  that  date,  it  is  estimated  that  MacPhersons  Resources  Ltd  and  its 
subsidiaries had approx. $17m of unrecognised tax losses that have not been 
brought to account as an asset.  

The group is currently assessing these losses to determine the extent to which 
these losses are available to be recouped from future assessable income.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 

26a  Native  title claims  have been made  with  respect  to areas  which  include  tenements  in  which  Horizon  Minerals 
Limited and the controlled entity have interests. The entities are unable to determine the prospects for success or 
otherwise of the claims and, in any event, whether or not, and to what extent, the claims may significantly affect 
them or their projects. 

26b  Security bonds are held with respect to tenements held in Northern Territory. Bonds are set by the Department of 
Primary Industry and Resources, however there is no certainty that such bonds will be adequate to cover any 
environmental damage. Horizon Minerals Limited and its controlled entities are not able to determine the nature 
or extent of any further liability in view of changing environmental requirements. 

26c  Horizon Minerals Limited has been advised of a potential liability arising as a result of the storage of laboratory 
waste  material  at  the White  Range  project  site  and  is  currently  awaiting  approval  from  the  NT  Environmental 
Protection Authority to bury the material at White Range. As at the date of this report, the potential liability for the 
rectification remains unquantifiable. 

26d  The Company announced to the ASX on 30 April 2018, that it had received a purported cost variation claim from 
Resource Mining relating to the Teal Stage 1 project up until September 2017 and that it was working to resolve 
this  and  any  additional  claims  that  may  be  forthcoming  from  Resource  Mining.  The  Company  subsequently 
received a further purported cost variation claim from Resource Mining for Teal Stages 1 and 2 through to project 
completion. This further purported cost variation claim adopts a different methodology to the previous claim. 

In December 2018, Horizon and Resource Mining agreed to a full and final settlement of this matter. The total 
disputed variation claims amount was split on a 50:50 basis, while the remaining net operating cash was split 75% 
to Intermin and 25% to Resource Mining as originally agreed under the mining contract between the parties.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (including fair value interest rate risk 
foreign currency risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The Group'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 Group.  

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors, who identify, evaluate and manage financial risks as 
they consider appropriate. 

27a  Market risk 

Price risk 

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Group and classified 
on the statement of financial position as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss of $605,461 (2018: 
$1,013,074). 

The investments assets are classified as financial asset at fair value through profit and loss and any changes to 
their value is recognised in profit and loss when incurred.  The group have used an equity price change of 70% 
upper and  lower  representing  a  reasonable  possible change  based  upon  the  weighted  average  historic  share 
price volatility over the last 12 months on the investment portfolio held.  If the value of the investments held had 
moved in accordance with the volatility, and all other factors kept constant, the impact on the profit and loss for 
the year ended 30 June 2019 would have been ± $423,823 (2018: ± $709,152). 

Fair value interest rate risk 

Refer to (e) below. 

27b  Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group is a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to 
meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers. 

Presently,  the  Group  undertakes  mining,  exploration  and  evaluation  activities  exclusively  in  Australia.  At  the 
balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.  

(i)  Cash and cash equivalents 

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with major Australian 
financial institutions.  

(i)  Trade and other receivables 

The Group’s trade and other receivables relate to gold sales, GST refunds and other income. 

The Group has determined that its credit risk exposure on all other trade receivables is low, as customers 
are considered to be reliable and have short contractual payment terms. Management does not expect any 
of these counterparties to fail to meet their obligations.  

The  carrying  amount  of  the  Group’s  financial  assets  represents  the  maximum  credit  exposure.  The  Group’s 
maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) 

27c  Liquidity risk 

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability 
of funding through the ability to raise further funds on the market and the ability to close-out market positions. Due 
to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Board aims at maintaining flexibility in funding through 
management of its cash resources.

27d  Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk 

As the Group has no significant variable interest-bearing assets, the Group's income and operating cash flows 
are not exposed to changes in market interest rates. 

27e   Fair value measurements  

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or 
for disclosure purposes. 

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following 
fair value measurement hierarchy: 

(a)  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1), 

(b) 

inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 
directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2), and 

(c) 

inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading 
and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted 
market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included 
in level 1. 

The  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  that  are  not  traded  in  an  active  market  (for  example,  over-the-counter 
derivatives)  is  determined  using  valuation  techniques.  These  valuation  techniques  maximise  the  use  of 
observable  market  data  where  it  is  available  and  rely  as  little  as  possible  on  entity  specific  estimates.  If  all 
significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.  

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 
3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities. 

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include: 

 

The use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments. 

27f  Capital risk management 

In employing its capital (or equity as it is referred to on the statement of financial position) the Group seeks to 
ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern and provide value to shareholders by way of increased 
market  capitalisation.  The  Group  has  invested  its  available  capital  in  intangible  assets  such  as  acquiring  and 
exploring mining tenements and in investments. As is appropriate at this stage, the Group is funded predominantly 
by equity. 

28 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS 

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 Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future.  The resulting accounting estimates will, by 
definition, seldom equal the related actual results.  The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of 
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed below. 

(i)

Exploration & Evaluation Expenditure

The  Group’s  accounting  policy  for  exploration  and  evaluation  is  set  out  in  Note  1(e).  If,  after  having 
capitalised expenditure under this policy, the Directors conclude that the Group is unlikely to recover the 
expenditure by future exploration or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income.

A  joint  venture  is  not  a  separate  legal  entity.  It  is  a  contractual  arrangement  between  the  participants  for  the 
sharing of costs and output and does not in itself generate revenue and profit. 

30a  Barrick (PD) Australia Limited, through its subsidiary Barrick (Plutonic) Limited, earned a 75% interest in the Otto 
Bore  Tenements. Horizon  elected  in  2000  to  assign  the  tenements  to  Plutonic  and  revert  to  a  3%  gross  gold 
royalty.

In December 2013, Mithril Resources Ltd (MTH) and its wholly owned subsidiary Minex (West) Pty Ltd entered 
into a  farm-in and joint  venture  agreement  with  Horizon  Minerals  Limited  to  acquire  up  to  75% interest  of  the 
Nanadie Well Gold Project.  Minex may acquire a 60% interest in the Tenements by expending $2M, Minex may 
elect to acquire a further 15% interest (for a total 75% interest) by expending a further $2M in a two year period 
with a minimum ground exploration cost of at least $400,000 each year of the 2 year period. 

In March 2017, the Company finalised a strategic development JV with Richmond Vanadium Technology Pty Ltd 
(“RVT”) (formerly AXF Vanadium Pty Ltd), a wholly owned subsidiary of the AXF Group. The JV covers Horizon’s 
100% interest in the Richmond vanadium project in North West Queensland which include metal rights at the 
nearby Julia Creek project which is owned by Global Oil Shale Plc. The project tenements cover 1,520km2 of 
Cretaceous  Toolebuc  Formation.  In  February  2018,  RVT  had  committed  to  the  second  stage  expenditure 
commitment of A$5 million over 3 years inclusive of a Feasibility Study.

JOINT OPERATIONS 

A Mining and Finance Heads of Agreement was executed with Resource Mining Pty Ltd (“RM”) on 7 October 2016 
in relation to the development of the Teal Gold Project Stage 1 (TS1) as announced to the ASX on 19 July 2016.   

Under the agreement, the net operating cash from mining operations was split 75% to Intermin and 25% to RM. 

As at 30 June 2018, final ore processing at TS1 was completed, and profit shares due to RM had been included as 
payables at 30 June 2018. In December 2018, RM and Intermin agreed a further settlement of disputed amounts 
and all payments were made pursuant to the settlement agreement by 31 December 2018. Refer to Note 26(d) for 
further information.

and  matching  rights  in  respect  of  any  competing  proposals  for  the  Coolgardie  Gold  project,  subject  to 
customary fiduciary carve outs of Focus’ benefit. 

Subsequent to year end, Horizon exercised its matching right under the Exclusivity Deed in response to a 
superior competing non-binding proposal to purchase the Coolgardie Gold Project received by Focus from 
a  third  party  and  has  submitted  a  non-binding  counter  proposal.  The  counter  proposal  increases  the 
proposed consideration from $40 million to $55 million comprising $12 million in fully paid ordinary shares

in Kalgoorlie. 

There are no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since 30 June 2019 that have or may significantly 
affect the operations, results, or state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.
