Dear Shareholder 

The 2020 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 with current prices around the US$1,750 per ounce mark. With 
the Australian dollar gold price holding between $2,500-$2,600 and the industry’s focus on reducing costs of production, 
Australia is now globally competitive and attracting investment both domestically and internationally. 

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 2019, 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 was a challenging capital market 
for juniors.   

At  the  end  of  FY19,  the  Company  successfully  completed  the  merger  with  MacPherson  Resources  to  form  Horizon 
Minerals Ltd, a growing emerging mid-tier gold business in the heart of the Western Australian goldfields. The merger 
consolidated  the  large  scale  base  load  Boorara  gold  project  with  a  number  of  high  grade  open  pit  and  underground 
satellite projects all within 75km of Boorara. In December, the Company elected to withdraw from any further extensions 
in relation to the purchase of the Coolgardie gold project and reset its growth strategy centred on development of the 
current asset base. 

The Company commenced work on a consolidated Feasibility Study with the aim of generating an initial 5 year mine plan 
to underpin the construction of a stand-alone processing plant at Boorara, 10km east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. As part of 
this Study, a close spaced grade control drilling program was completed across Boorara enabling an updated model for 
trial mining of three starter pits at the Regal and Crown Jewel deposits. Contract mining commenced in May and toll 
milling in July at the nearby Lakewood Mill. The aim of the trial is to test the tonnage and grade uplift potential of the 
orebodies with tighter spaced drilling to de-risk the larger scale development being evaluated as part of the Feasibility 
Study due for completion in the June Quarter 2021. 

A number of highly successful drilling campaigns were completed across the Company’s existing and newly acquired 
tenure  and  our  Resource  position  has  grown  to  1.1  million  ounces  of  gold.  Over  30,000m  have  been  completed  at 
Boorara, Binduli, Rose Hill, Windanya, Baden Powell, Scotia and Black Flag.  

Drilling at the Binduli gold project had focussed initially on the Crake Prospect with excellent results released from two 
drilling campaigns enabling an updated resource to be released. Drilling was then completed at the Coote, Darter and 
Honeyeater prospects with larger scale follow up drilling programs planned for FY2021. Drilling at the Rose Hill project 
has delivered excellent high grade results with the project demonstrating both open pit and underground potential and 
the project considered a significant high grade feed source for the mine plan. 

In line with our strategy of focussed gold development within close proximity to Boorara, the Company divested its interest 
in the Menzies and Goongarrie gold projects for a total consideration of $8 million. Upside in the projects is retained 
through our significant shareholding in Kingwest Resources Ltd who acquired the assets.  

The Company completed a number of acquisitions during the year to further consolidate assets on the major shear zones 
and now has a strong landholding including the newly granted Yarmany and Lakewood project areas and the Rose Hill 
and Brilliant North projects as part of a nil cost asset swap with Northern Star Resources Ltd. 

Our non-gold joint venture partners progressed during the year as did discussions with new potential partners that can 
provide  mutual  benefit.  The  Joint  Venture  with  RVT  covering  the  world  class  1.8Bt  Richmond  Vanadium  project 
progressed well with a large scale drilling program completed, updated resource for Lilyvale and excellent metallurgical 
results as part of the Pre-Feasibility Study due for completion in the September Quarter 2020. 

We’d like to take the opportunity to thank all our Board members including Mr Jeff Williams who retired during the year, 
staff, contractors and you, our shareholders, for your support during the year. A special thank you to Hamptons, BMGS, 
Golden Mile Milling, Cardno and our other operations team members on a fantastic job in delivering a successful second 
mining operation. 

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

OVERVIEW (continued) 

The Company operates 100% owned gold projects in the Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie Regions and has an earn-in joint 
venture at the Richmond vanadium project located in Queensland. Over 30,000m of drilling was completed during the 
2020 financial year. 

New  gold  acquisitions  to  expand  the  Kalgoorlie  and  Coolgardie  area  portfolio  included  the  Lakewood,  Yarmany  and 
Boorara gold projects (Figure 2). Technical programs on these projects included data compilation, exploration targeting, 
drilling, geological modelling and mine evaluation. Key activities conducted during the year are outlined below.

BOORARA GOLD PROJECT AREA 

The Boorara project area comprises the 100% owned 507,000 ounce Boorara gold mine, the Golden Ridge project to 
the south and the Kanowna South and Balagundi prospects to the north (Figure 2). During the year, activities focussed 
on grade control drilling and mine development at the Regal, Crown Jewel and Royal deposits that make up the Boorara 
project. 

BOORARA GOLD PROJECT – MINING AND DEVELOPMENT 

The Boorara gold mine is located 10km east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia (Figure 2 and 4). Grade control drilling 
(18,000M) was completed in December 2019 on a 10m X 5m drill spacing enabling a detailed geological model to be 
compiled and mine optimisation and design studies to be completed. A positive Feasibility Study was released to the 
ASX on 10 February 2020 with mining contractor, necessary approvals and a toll milling agreement in place in May 2020. 
Three trial pits are to be mined, Regal East, Regal West and Crown Jewel over an 8 month period with toll milling to be 
completed at the nearby Lakewood processing plant through to January 2021. 

The outcomes of the Feasibility Study are summarised in the Table below:

BOORARA GOLD PROJECT – MINING AND DEVELOPMENT (continued) 

The tightly spaced grade control drilling program was highly successful in delivering an uplift in tonnage and grade when 
compared to the global resource model (Figure 4) with a summary of results announced to the ASX on 14 and 21 January 
2020 and including the following broad high grade zones of mineralisation: 

• 
•

On completion of the trial mining and mill reconciliations in the March Quarter 2021, an updated resource model will be 
compiled for Boorara enabling generation of reserves for the consolidated Feasibility Study. Boorara base load feed is 
an integral part of the mine plan and will sit along-side the proposed Boorara Mill. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
BOORARA GOLD PROJECT AREA – EXPLORATION 

The current Boorara resource comprises 1.8km of strike and sits with in the greater Boorara area covering over 25km of 
strike length from Golden Ridge in the south to Kanowna and Balagundi to the north (Figure 5). During the year, a detailed 
target  generation  study  was  completed  across  the  portfolio  and  a  number  of  high  priority  drill  targets  identified  in 
previously untested areas. Both near mine extension drilling and new discovery drilling is planned in FY2021 across both 
the Boorara and Lakewood project areas.

TEAL GOLD PROJECT AREA – EXPLORATION 

The Teal project area comprises the 100% owned Teal, Jacques Find, Yolande and Peyes Farm projects and is located 
12km northwest of Kalgoorlie and 22km from the proposed Boorara Mill (Figures 2 and 6). 

Limited  drilling  was  completed  at  the  Teal  project  area  during  the  year  as  the  Company  focussed  on  advancing  the 
Boorara,  Binduli  and  Rose  Hill  project  areas.  Technical  work  completed  included  resource  model  review, preliminary 
mining  studies  for  Teal  Stage  3,  Jacques  Find  and  Peyes  Farm  and  planning  for  the  FY2021  drilling  program.  This 
program  will  target  additional high grade  oxide  and  transitional  open  pit  ore  as  demonstrated by the successful Teal 
Stages 1 and 2 developments completed in 2018 when the Company produced 22,000oz grading 3.2g/t Au and 94% 
recovery and generated $7 million in free cash flow at a A$1,650/oz gold price. 

Figure 6 
Horizon Minerals Ltd Location Plan Teal-Jacques-Yolande drilling showing recent results 

The current 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 lower cut-off grade) (see Table 1 and Competent Persons Statement on Page 17). 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
BINDULI GOLD PROJECT AREA – EXPLORATION 

The Binduli project is located 10km west of Kalgoorlie  – Boulder immediately adjacent to the Company’s Teal project 
area (Figures 2 and 7).  

In FY20, 1,224m of resource extension and new discovery drilling was completed within the project area following up the 
successful 2018 and 2019 programs. The majority of the drilling was completed at the Crake prospect with further regional 
reconnaissance drilling completed at the Coote, Darter and Honeyeater prospects.  

Results from Crake were announced to the ASX on 20 August and included: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

• 
• 
• 

3m @ 7.41g/t Au from 81m and 10m @ 1.78g/t Au from 102m (BRC19021) 

5m @ 4.91g/t Au from 36m and 9m @ 1.58g/t Au from 65m (BRC19025) 
3m @ 3.18g/t Au from 14m and 4m @ 2.47g/t Au from 55m (BRC19031) 

3m @ 1.28g/t Au from 10m, 1m @ 2.91g/t Au from 17m, 1m @ 2.13g/t Au from 25m, 1m @ 5.19g/t Au from 
32m and 14m @ 1.75g/t Au from 44m (BRC19012) 

12m @ 1.65g/t Au from 32m (BRC19010)  

10m @ 1.46g/t Au from 77m (BRC19029) 

1m @ 3.00g/t Au from 57m and 7m @ 2.78g/t Au from 97m (BRC19027) 

The  recent  Crake  results  (Figure  7)  showed  good  alignment  with  the  current mineralisation  model  and  gives  greater 
confidence in the block model and grade. Most holes intersected +1g/t Au and finished within a barren volcanic footwall 
schist. Several eastern holes intersected shallower, up dip, mineralisation largely outside the resource area and warrants 
follow up drilling to help close it off. 

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. 

Figure 7

As announced to the ASX on 10 December 2019, the new data was used to compile an updated independent  Mineral 
Resource Estimate which is compliant with the JORC 2012 Code. 

The maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Crake project stands at 1.27Mt grading 1.81g/t Au for 74,000 ounces (at 
a 1g/t Au lower cut-off grade) (see Table 1 and Competent Persons Statement on Page 17). 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
ROSE HILL GOLD PROJECT – EXPLORATION 

The Rose Hill project is located 0.5km east of Coolgardie and 35km west of Kalgoorlie – Boulder (Figures 2 and 8) and 
was acquired as part of an asset swap completed with Northern Star Resources Ltd as announced to the ASX on 4 
February 2020.  

Since  acquisition,  the  Company  has  completed  a  detailed  review  of  the  large  geological  data  base  comprising 
geochemical,  geophysical  and  historic  drilling  datasets  including  additional  drilling  data  retrieved  to  500m  depth  and 
previous open pit and underground mine design work. 

During FY20, the company completed two drilling programs for 1,600m comprising validation, infill and extensional RC 
and diamond programs to grow the current mineral resource and advance the project to reserve status.  

Results from the programs were announced to the ASX on 4 February and 9 June 2020 and included: 

•

Resource Estimate which is compliant with the JORC 2012 Code. 

The maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Rose Hill project stands at 1.2Mt grading 2.49g/t Au for 95,000 ounces 
(at a 0.7g/t Au lower cut-off grade) (see Table 1 and Competent Persons Statement on Page 17). 

BADEN POWELL AND WINDANYA GOLD PROJECTS – EXPLORATION 

The  100%  owned  Windanya  and  Baden  Powell  project  areas  are  located  45km  and  60km  northwest  of  Kalgoorlie 
respectively and sit within the highly prospective Bardoc Tectonic Zone (Figures 2 and 9).    

During FY20, the company completed drilling programs totalling 4,020m following up from the successful reconnaissance 
programs completed in 2019. New mineralisation was discovered at the Capricorn prospect (Figure 9) as announced to 
the ASX on 12 November 2019 extending the known strike length to beyond 400m of strike with mineralisation open to 
the north, south and at depth.

KALGOORLIE REGIONAL GOLD PROJECTS – EXPLORATION 

During the year, first pass exploration drilling continued on our regional project areas with 911m drilled at the Black Flag, 
Scotia,  Olympia  with  mineralisation  intercepted  at  all  projects.  Follow  up  drilling  is  planned  as  part  of  the  FY2021 
exploration program. 

In addition, significant field work, rock chip sampling, historic mine mapping, geochemical and geophysical reviews were 
undertaken to identify priority targets for drilling in FY2021. These prospects included Kanowna south, Balagundi, Golden 
Ridge, Nimbus, Lakewood, Yarmany, Windanya, Black Flag, Broads Dam and Silver Star. 

Work completed on new acquisitions at Lakewood and Yarmany included data compilation, data base review and desk 
top geological studies. The resultant drilling programs will commence in FY2021 pending final granting of the leases. The 
low cost acquisitions have increased the Company’s tenure to approximately 850km2. 

DIVESTMENT OF MENZIES AND GOONGARRIE GOLD PROJECTS

DIVESTMENT OF ANTHILL AND BLISTER DAM GOLD PROJECTS 

As  announced  to  the  ASX  on  12  September  2019,  the  Company  reached  agreement  with  Northern  Star  Resources 
Limited (“Northern Star”) to an exchange of tenements in the WA goldfields for no cash consideration. The transaction 
involved  Horizon  divesting  its  100%  interest  in  Anthill,  Blister  Dam,  New  Mexico,  White  Flag  and  Kanowna  North 
tenements and the acquisition of 100% interest in Northern Star’s Rose Hill, Brilliant North and Gunga West projects in 
Coolgardie and the Golden Ridge, Balagundi, Abattoir and Mt Monger projects in Kalgoorlie (Figure 11).

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  $10,435.  Horizon  anticipates  further  royalty 
payments on a quarterly basis for material scheduled by NGF to be treated. 

NANADIE WELL COPPER - EXPLORATION PROJECT 

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 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. 

During the year and as announced to the ASX on 18 November 2019, the project returned to Horizon on a 100% basis 
and the Company completed a detailed geological review and a small drilling program to ensure the tenure remained in 
good standing. Subsequent to year end and as announced to the ASX on 14 July 2020, the Company divested its 100% 
interest in the project to Cyprium Metals Ltd (ASX: CYM) for $1.5 million in cash and shares. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
RICHMOND VANADIUM JV – EXPLORATION PROJECT (Intermin 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 Intermin’s 100% interest in the Richmond vanadium project in North West 
Queensland (Figures 12 and 13) 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.  

Figure 12

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 FY20, RVT completed a 7,817m drilling program at the Lilyvale vanadium deposit (Figure 13) to infill previous drilling 
enabling an updated Mineral Resource Estimate to be compiled at an improved JORC Category for reserve generation 
studies to be completed.

RICHMOND VANADIUM JV – EXPLORATION PROJECT (Intermin retains 25%) (continued) 

As  announced  to  the  ASX  on  20  May  2020,  the  drilling  program  was  highly  successful  in  intercepting  remarkably 
consistent oxide mineralisation along section with the grade improving relative to the historic resource. 

The  updated  Mineral  Resource  estimate  for  the  Lilyvale  project  stands  at  560Mt  grading  0.48%  V2O5  for  2.60Mt  of 
contained  metal  (at  a  0.30%  lower  cut-off  grade)  (see  Table  2  and  Competent  Persons  Statement  on  Page  17). 
Importantly, over 76% of the Lilyvale resource has been upgraded to the Indicated JORC Category enabling detailed 
economic evaluation to be completed as part of the Pre-Feasibility Study due for release in the September Quarter 2020. 

The updated global Mineral Resource estimate for the Richmond project stands at 1,838Mt grading 0.364% V2O5 for 
6.65Mt of contained metal (at a 0.30% lower cut-off grade) (see Table 2 and Competent Persons Statement on Page 
13). 

During the year, RVT continued extensive metallurgical testwork on representative samples from the Lilyvale project at 
the Hunan Institute of Nonferrous Metals in China. Results from the concentration tests using simple screening, gravity 
and  flotation  mineral dressing  techniques  produced  excellent  results  with concentrate  comprising  21%  of  the  original 
mass at an improved grade of >1.6% V2O5 and a 73% recovery. Downstream processing on the concentrate was then 
conducted with both commercial and proprietary flowsheets producing commercial grade vanadium flake and vanadium 
electrolyte.    

With the success of the pre-concentration and downstream tests, test work advanced to simulated production trials using 
semi-industrial scale samples through the entire process pathway from run of mine ore to final product. Results of these 
tests and the release of the Pre-Feasibility Study is expected for release in the September Quarter 2020. 

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.  

NIMBUS SILVER-ZINC PROJECT– EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT 

The Nimbus project lies immediately adjacent to the Boorara gold mine (Figures 2 and 5) and was placed on care and 
maintenance in 2007 after producing 3.6Moz from 318kt processed at a grade of 353g/t Ag. The old milling circuit has 
since been removed and the area rehabilitated. 

The Project hosts a high-grade silver zinc Resource of 256kt @ 773g/t Ag and 13% Zn that has been estimated from the 
global Nimbus Resource of 12.1Mt @ 52g/t Ag, 0.9% Zn and 0.2g/t Au for a total of 20Moz Ag and 104kt Zn and 78koz 
Au (JORC 2012) (see Tables and Competent Persons Statement on Page 18).  

Nimbus is a shallow-water and low-temperature VHMS deposit with epithermal characteristics (i.e. a hybrid bimodal felsic 
deposit), which is consistent with its position near the margin of the Kalgoorlie Terrane. The current Discovery and East 
pits have been subject to extensive drilling highlighting significant potential to extend mineralisation along strike and at 
depth below 400m. Regional exploration has been limited to the north and south and considered highly prospective for 
further precious and base metal deposits. 

Extensive metallurgical test work has been completed on Nimbus ore with the Feasibility Study put on hold in 2014 due 
to depressed silver prices. 

In  light  of  increasing  silver  and  zinc  prices,  the  Company  is  now  reviewing  options  to  create  value  for  shareholders 
inclusive  of  retention,  joint  ventures  and  divestment and  has  received  expressions  of interest  from a  number  of  third 
parties in Australia and overseas. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
WHITE RANGE GOLD PROJECT (DISPOSED) 

The Company has disposed of its White Range Gold Project in the Northern Territory to Red Dingo Corporation Pty Ltd. 
The  Company  is  currently  attending  to  some  clean  up  issues  at  the  site  prior  to  making  application  for  return  of 
environmental  bonds  held  by  the  Department  of  Primary  Industry  and  Resources  in  respect  of  the  White  Range 
tenements.

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 announcement 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 the announcement, 
including with respect to any production targets and financial estimates, based on the information contained in this and 
previous ASX announcements. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - RESERVES AND RESOURCES CALCULATIONS  

Due to the nature, stage and size of the Company’s existing operations,  Horizon 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.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS 

• 

In  July  2019,  the Company divested 100% of its interest in the Menzies and Goongarrie gold projects to Kingwest 
Resources Limited (ASX: KWR). As per the ASX announcement on 9 July 2019, total consideration for the projects 
were $8M.  

The Company received an initial deposit of $750,000 and on settlement, a further $1M in cash and an issue of 20M 
ordinary shares in Kingwest, valued at $3M. 

A deferred payment of $3.25M is to be received no later than 18 months after settlement being a further $1.625M in 
cash and $1.625M in ordinary shares in Kingwest at a deemed issue price being the lower of $0.15 per share and the 
30 day VWAP (subject to shareholder approval and Horizon not exceeding 19.9% ownership in Kingwest).  

The Company recognised a profit of $2,684,450 at June 2020 as a result of this transaction. 

•  During  the  year  ended  30  June  2020,  the  Company  received  formal  notification  from  Focus  Minerals  Limited 
(“Focus”) under the Exclusivity Deed that Focus is unlikely to obtain the required internal, board and regulatory 
approvals necessary for it to proceed with the proposed sale of the Coolgardie gold project before the expiry of the 
Exclusivity Period on 17 December 2019. 

Horizon  did  not  contemplate  any  further  extension  of  the  Exclusivity  Period  and  the  Exclusivity  Deed  has  been 
terminated and the Exclusivity Deposit returned.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS (continued) 

• 

In March 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Sparta AG, an unrelated party to borrow $4M to 
assist  with  mining  operations.  The  loan  is  secured  over  Boorara  Gold  project  mining  tenements  M26/29  and 
M26/318. The loan is for a period of 12 months, with an interest rate of 20% p.a. 

Additionally, 24 million unlisted options were issued in April 2020 to Sparta AG. Refer to Note 15 and Note 23(b) 
for further details.  

• 

In March 2020, the Company issued 25 million shares via a share placement plan at $0.08 to raise $2,000,000 
before share issue costs.  

• 

In April 2020, Mr Jeffrey Williams resigned as Non-Executive Director.  

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR 

(a) Subsequent to year end, 2,400,000 Class E Performance Rights lapsed. 

(b) Nanadie Well Copper Project 

In July 2020, the Group reached an agreement with Cyprium Metals Limited (ASX: CYM) (“Cyprium”) to divest the 
Nanadie Well copper project near Meekatharra in the Murchison District of Western Australia.  

Horizon took 100% control of the Nanadie Well in the December quarter of 2019 following the withdrawal of its then 
joint venture partner. The divestment comprises exploration license E51/1040 and Mining License M51/887 covering 
45km2. Under the Agreement, Cyprium will pay $1.5 million in cash and shares (priced on a 20 day VWAP basis) on 
the following terms: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

$250,000 in cash and $400,000 in Cyprium shares on completion 
$350,000 in Cyprium shares 12 months from completion 
$300,000 in Cyprium shares 24 months from completion 
$200,000 in Cyprium shares on a decision to mine from the tenure 

(c) Capital Raising 

In August 2020, the Group announced a Share Placement Plan for 115 million ordinary shares at $0.14 per share to 
raise $16.1 million before share issue costs.  

Settlement of the Placement will occur in two tranches: 

• 

• 

Tranche 1 comprises the issue of 57.5 million Placement Shares ($8.05 million) pursuant to Listing Rules 
7.1 and 7.1A. No shareholder approval is required for the issue of shares in Tranche 1 which settled on 21 
August 2020. 
Tranche 2, which is subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting to be held on 25 September 2020, 
comprises the issue of a further 57.5 million Placement Shares ($8.05 million). 

New shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing ordinary shares on issue. 

Proceeds from the Placement and existing cash reserves will be used for the accelerated reserve conversion and 
resource growth exploration drilling program which will commence in September 2020. Drilling will comprise reverse 
circulation and diamond drilling at the core Boorara, Binduli, Rose Hill and Teal gold project areas.   

(d) In July 2020, Mr Peter Bilbe stepped down as Chairman, remaining as Non-Executive Director and Mr Ashok Parekh 

assumed the role of Chairman. 

There are no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since 30 June 2020 that have or may significantly affect 
the operations, results, or state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods. 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

In the opinion of the Directors it would prejudice the interests of the Group to provide additional information, beyond that 
reported in this Annual Report, relating to likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of 
those operations in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2020. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
COVID-19 IMPACT 

The  full  impact  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  continues  to  evolve  at  the  date  of  this  report.  The  Company  is  therefore 
uncertain  as  to  the  full  impact  that  the  pandemic  will  have  on  its  financial  condition,  liquidity  and  future  results  of 
operations during 2020 or 2021. Management continues to actively monitor the global situation and its impact on the 
Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the 
COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the 
COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity for the 2020/21 financial year. 

The health and wellbeing of all Horizon employees remain a key focus in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 
The work practices and measures implemented to mitigate COVID-19 related risks have so far proven successful with 
no known COVID-19 cases across our workforce and minimal disruption to our operations to date. 

DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED 

Since the end of the previous financial year, no amount has been paid or declared by way of dividend. The Directors do 
not recommend that any dividend be paid.

(a) 

Details of Remuneration (continued) 

Shareholders have approved Directors’ Fees in total up to $250,000 per annum.  

Directors are not under written contracts. Directors that are not on a salary may be paid consulting fees for specialist 
services  beyond  normal  duties  at  commercial  rates  calculated  according  to  the  amount  of  time  spent  on  Company 
business.  In  the  year  ended  30  June  2020,  the  directors  have  received  share-based  compensation  for  services  as 
directors of the Company. Full details are included below. 

The  share  price  of  the  Company  has  fluctuated  with  the  markets  and  has  also  been  influenced  by  the  Company‘s 
investments in other ASX listed companies.  Over the past five years the directors’ fees have relatively remained static 
and have not been influenced by the fluctuating share price.

Performance Rights  

Further details on the performance and valuations attaching to the performance rights  are included in Note 23a to the 
Financial Statements. 

The fair value of the rights was determined using a Hoadley’s Barrier 1 model. A total amount of $69,047 is included in 
the Statement of Financial Performance and Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended 30 June  2020 (2019 - 
$273,377), of which $54,663 (2019 - $224,560) 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. 

(ii) 

Options 

During the year ended 30 June 2020, there were no options exercised by directors.   

(e) 

Other Transactions with Key Management Personnel 

There were no other transactions with Key Management Personnel during the year.  

This is the end of the Audited Remuneration 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 2020.  Remuneration paid 
to the Company’s auditors is detailed in Note 20 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 38 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

*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 2020, 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 2019 to 30 June 
2020 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Reporting Entity 
This financial report of Horizon Minerals Limited (‘the Company’) for the year ended 30 June 2020 comprises the 
Company and its subsidiaries (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 30 September 2020. 

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 
Accounting Interpretations  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001. The functional  and presentation currency  of 
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  2020,  the  Company  has  reviewed  and  adopted  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 2019. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are 
not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the company for the annual reporting period ended 30 
June 2020.  

The Company has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not 
yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2020. 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. 

1b 

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  24)  including  its  subsidiaries  (refer  Note  27).  As  at  30  June  2020, 
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. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

1b 

Principles of consolidation (continued) 

(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 32. 

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.

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.

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 2020, 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.

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. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

1g 

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

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. 

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.

1k 

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 2020. 

(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 2020. 

(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.

Leases 

AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases. AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating 
leases  or  finance  leases-for  the  lessee  –  effectively  treating  all  leases  as  finance  leases.  AASB  16  is 
applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2019. 

Impact on operating leases 
AASB 16 will change how the Company accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under 
AASB 117, which were off-balance sheet. On initial application of AASB 16, for all leases (except as noted 
below), the Company will: 
•  Recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position, 

initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. 

•  Recognise  depreciation  of  right-of-use  assets  and  interest  on  lease  liabilities  in  the  consolidated 

statement of profit or loss. 

•  Separate the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) 

and interest (presented within operating activities) in the consolidated cash flow statement. 

Lease incentives (e.g. rent-free period) will be recognised as part of the measurement of the right- of-use 
assets and lease liabilities whereas under AASB 117 they resulted in the recognition of a lease liability 
incentive, amortised as a reduction of rental expenses on a straight-line basis. 

Under AASB 16, right-of-use assets will be tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment 
of Assets. This will replace the previous requirement to recognise a provision for onerous lease contracts. 

For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (such as personal 
computers and office furniture), the Company will opt to recognise a lease expense on a straight-line basis 
as permitted by AASB 16. 

The  Company  has  applied  AASB  16  retrospectively  with  the  effect  of  initially  applying  this  standard 
recognised at the date of initial application, being 1 July 2019.  

There is no material impact to profit or loss or net assets on the adoption of this new standard in the current 
or comparative periods, refer to Note 13 for further detail. 

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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

1r 

Contributed equity (continued) 

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 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.

 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. 

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.

EXPLORATION, EVALUATION, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION 
EXPENDITURE 

During  the  year  ended  30  June  2020,  the  Group  incurred  and  capitalised  the 
following exploration, evaluation, development and production expenditure:  

12a Exploration and evaluation phase 

Carrying amount at beginning of the year 

Capitalised during the year 

Reclassification of mine properties 

Tenements acquired under Scheme of Arrangement 

Purchases of tenements 

Sale of tenements 

Impairment loss on tenements *

Capitalised during the year*** 

Amortised during the year 

Carrying amount at end of year 

Total mining production 

* Impairment of mining tenements 
During the year ended 30 June 2020, there were no impairment losses recorded.  

An impairment loss of $194,099 was recorded against the mining tenements as at 
30 June 2019 to reduce the carrying value to what is anticipated to be at least the 
market value of the tenements. 

The  ultimate  recoupment  of  expenditure  above  relating  to  the  exploration  and 
evaluation phase is dependent upon the successful development and commercial 
exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest. 

** Reclassification of mine properties 
The  Group  has  reclassified  prior  allocated  mine  development  expenditure  as 
exploration expenditure. 

*** Mine production expenditure 
Costs relate to Boorara Gold Project, of which mining commenced in May 2020. 
These costs will be expensed in line with revenue recognised from this project.

On 14 June 2019, Horizon acquired 100% of MacPhersons Resources Limited and its subsidiaries’ Kalgoorlie 
Ore Treatment Company Pty Ltd and Polymetals (WA) Pty Ltd  under a Scheme of Arrangement, under which 
Horizon  issued  192,586,736  ordinary  shares  to  MacPhersons  Resources’  shareholders.  The  Company  also 
issued 2,962,640 unlisted replacement options to MacPhersons Resources’ option holders with various exercise 
prices and expiry dates.  

The  total  cost  of  the  combination  was  $21,184,541  and  comprised  an  issue  of  shares  and  options.  The 
consolidated entity issued 192,586,736 ordinary shares with a fair value of 11 cents each, based on the quoted 
price  of  the  share  on  Horizon  Minerals  Ltd  on  the  Implementation  Date  of  the  Scheme  of  Arrangement.  The 
2,962,640  unlisted  replacement  options  were  valued  based  with  the  Black-Scholes  valuation  method.  Key 
variables in the option valuation include the price of date of issue of 11 cents, a risk free rate of 1.5% and volatility 
of 75%.

MacPhersons Resources Limited was acquired on 14 June 2019 pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement (refer to 
Note 24).  

The indirect subsidiaries are direct subsidiaries of MacPhersons Resources Limited. 

Horizon Minerals Ltd, incorporated in Australia, is the ultimate parent entity of the Group.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 

28a  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. 

28b  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. 

28c  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. 

28d  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 Horizon 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. 

29a  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 $4,266,342 (2019: 
$605,461). 

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 2020 would have been ± $2,896,439 (2019: ± $423,823). 

Fair value interest rate risk 

Refer to (e) below. 

29b  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.  

(ii)  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) 

29c  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.

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. 

29e   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).  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
29e   Fair value measurements (continued)

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. 

29f  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. 

30 

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

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. 

32a  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. 

32b 

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. 

***The Nanadie Well project was divested subsequent to 30 June 2020. Refer to Note 34(b) for further detail. 

32c 

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 1,520km 2 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 Horizon 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 Horizon agreed a further settlement of disputed amounts  

and all payments were made pursuant to the settlement agreement by 31 December 2018. Refer to Note 28(d) for 
further information.

(a) Subsequent to year end, 2,400,000 Class E Performance Rights lapsed. 

(b) Nanadie Well Copper Project 

In July 2020, the Group reached an agreement with Cyprium Metals Limited (ASX: CYM) (“Cyprium”) to divest 
the Nanadie Well copper project near Meekatharra in the Murchison District of Western Australia.  

Horizon took 100% control of the Nanadie Well in the December quarter of 2019 following the withdrawal of 
its  then joint  venture  partner. The  divestment comprises  exploration license  E51/1040  and  Mining  License 
M51/887 covering 45km2. Under the Agreement, Cyprium will pay $1.5 million in cash and shares (priced on 
a 20 day VWAP basis) on the following terms: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

$250,000 in cash and $400,000 in Cyprium shares on completion 
$350,000 in Cyprium shares 12 months from completion 
$300,000 in Cyprium shares 24 months from completion 
$200,000 in Cyprium shares on a decision to mine from the tenure 

(c) Capital Raising 

In August 2020, the Group announced a Share Placement Plan for 115 million ordinary shares at $0.14 per 
share to raise $16.1 million before share issue costs.  

Settlement of the Placement will occur in two tranches: 

• 

• 

Tranche 1 comprises the issue of 57.5 million Placement Shares ($8.05 million) pursuant to Listing Rules 
7.1 and 7.1A. No shareholder approval is required for the issue of shares in Tranche 1 which settled on 
21 August 2020. 
Tranche 2, which is subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting to be held on 25 September 
2020, comprises the issue of a further 57.5 million Placement Shares ($8.05 million). 

New shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing ordinary shares on issue. 

Proceeds from the Placement and existing  cash reserves will be used to progress its exploration activities 
over various projects.  

(d) In July 2020, Mr Peter Bilbe stepped down as Chairman, remaining as Non-Executive Director and Mr Ashok 

Parekh assumed the role of Chairman. 

There are no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since 30 June 2020 that have or may significantly 
affect the operations, results, or state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.
