CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW
Dear Shareholder
The 2021 financial year has been one of significant progress for the Company and a year with improving sentiment and
strong commodity prices for the resources sector in general. The Company responded to the COVID-19 pandemic putting
in prudent measures to ensure business continuity and minimising risk to employees and the communities in which we
operate. The impact initially restricted progress but quickly returned to business as usual despite some delays.
With continuing concerns around the global economy, COVID-19, trade wars and increased geopolitical tension, the safe
haven of gold has seen the US$ gold price maintained around the US$1,800 per ounce mark. With the Australian dollar
gold price holding between A$2,400-A$2,500 and the industry’s focus on organic growth, M&A and 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 mergers and acquisitions both domestically and overseas. The recent merger
between Northern Star and Saracen has changed the landscape in the local region and put further consolidation at asset
and corporate level clearly in the frame.
The 2021 financial year saw much-improved capital market for junior explorers and emerging developers with a record
amount of capital raised. This has enabled a significant increase in exploration activity across the region and presented
challenges with sourcing drill rigs, staff and marked delays in assay turnaround times. The COVID-19 pandemic has also
been a major contributor to this, and future labour shortages and equipment availability will continue to be challenging in
the years ahead.
The Company continued progressing the 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, trial mining and toll milling of the Boorara deposit was successfully completed providing valuable geological,
mining and metallurgical information to de-risk the larger scale development and generated A$3.6 million in cash.
The trial enabled the compilation of a new geological model delivering a 34% uplift in resource grade and provided real
time milling data for plant design including excellent gold recoveries of 94.5% with a high gravity recovery component.
Boorara has the potential to provide long life base load feed supported by multiple open pit and underground satellite
mines in close proximity to a stand-alone processing plant at Boorara where power, water and support services are at
hand with staff travelling 15 minutes to site from the city of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
The Company commenced its largest ever drilling program with 70,000m planned across the portfolio. Of this, 20,000m
was completed for reserve generation in 2020 at the six core assets making up the initial production profile. In 2021, the
50,000m new discovery and project generation drilling program commenced with up to four rigs on site testing multiple
high priority targets with immediate success at the Windanya and Binduli project areas.
In line with our strategy of focussed gold development within close proximity to Boorara, the Company divested its interest
in the Nanadie Well copper project for $1.5 million in cash and shares. Our listed investments which totalled over A$4.2
million at year end provide shareholders with exposure to other commodities and jurisdictions outside of the Kalgoorlie
area.
The Company also completed a number of acquisitions during the year to further consolidate assets on the major shear
zones within a 75km radius of the proposed Boorara Mill. The acquisition of the Bulong South, Glandore and Cowarna
project areas provides an early production opportunity at the Cannon underground mine and significant exploration
upside across the 180km2 of tenure. The 50:50 joint venture with Orminex over the Penny’s Find underground project
also presents a near term production opportunity to generate cash during the completion of the Feasibility Study.
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 the completion of the Lilyvale PFS with the JV partners now moving to complete the DFS in 2022
and continue discussions with potential offtake partners and financiers.
We’d like to take the opportunity to thank all our Board members, staff, operational and drilling contractors, external
consultants and you, our shareholders, for your support during the year. The Horizon team look forward to keeping you
fully informed as the business grows in what will be another very exciting year ahead.

BOORARA GOLD PROJECT AREA
The Boorara Gold Project (BGP) area comprises the 100% owned 448,000oz 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 de-risking the larger scale development at Boorara as part of the consolidated feasibility study, which
included stage 1 trial mining to increase confidence in the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). During the year
the Company acquired the following projects Kalpini, Penny’s Find JV and Cannon which all had substantial existing
resources, these new projects will be included in the BGP consolidated Feasibility Study.
BOORARA GOLD PROJECT – TRIAL MINING
The Boorara gold mine is located 15km east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia (Figure 2 and 4). Three trial pits at Regal
East, Regal West and Crown Jewel were mined between April and completed in August 2020, six weeks ahead of
schedule with toll milling undertaken at the nearby Lakewood processing plant from July 2020 to February 2021.
In total, 513k BCM was mined from the three trial pits in 2020 with total ore mined (high and low grade) of 267kt at a
mine claimed grade of 1.23g/t Au for 10,560oz mined. Of this, 138kt of the higher-grade material was processed over
four toll milling campaigns with a reconciled mill feed grade of 1.45g/t Au and a gold recovery of 94.7%. A 17kt parcel of
lower grade was also milled to test grade allocation processes.
The Regal East pit produced 82kt grading 1.45g/t Au with tonnage and grade within expectations, the Regal West pit
underperformed at a grade of 1.29g/t Au with difficulty in allocating high and low-grade material. The Crown Jewel pit
produced 18kt grading 1.8g/t Au with a significant tonnage of high-grade ore left in the pit due to wall stability issues
making mining the final flitches unsafe. This ore will be available for mining during the larger scale development.
Gold production from the trial totalled 6,568oz at 94.5% recovery generating A$16.8 million in revenue at an average
sale price of $2,551/oz.
The trial generated A$3.6 million in free cash flow after all costs and enabled an extensive review of the geology, mining
parameters, metallurgy and processing parameters to de-risk the larger scale development under assessment as part of
the consolidated Feasibility Study.
Key learnings from the trial include:
Demonstrated presence of high grade flat lying cross cutting vein arrays within the deposit in addition to the
contact lodes that make up the historic resource model
Segregation of the individual higher-grade lodes within the deposits is very difficult with limited visual control
within the various dolerite mineralisation styles
Optimal larger scale development by mining and processing the entire deposit for maximum resource
recovery and minimal dilution
Excellent metallurgical performance with recoveries averaging 94.5% at an optimal grind size of 106µm via a
conventional CIL/CIP processing plant
High gravity recovery of >40% requiring design and installation of enlarged gravity circuit
Low to moderate reagent consumption and negligible viscosity issues encountered
Processing of the ore at the Boorara mine site avoiding haulage and third-party toll milling charges that made
up a significant portion of the cost base
The trial and pit mapping were considered highly successful in providing a greater understanding of the deposits and
highlighting a number of opportunities to optimise grade control practises, mining and processing. Boorara is a very large
baseload orebody and can be de-risked by bulk open pit mining and processing on site avoiding additional haulage and
toll milling costs.

Figure 3
Horizon Minerals Ltd Mining at the Boorara gold mine looking North. 2016 Royal trial pit in foreground,
Regal East and West trial pits to the North, and Nimbus Discovery pit to the North‐East.
Extensive structural geology mapping was completed at all four trial pits by independent expert Dr Gerard Tripp who
confirmed the presence of multiple flat lying, cross cutting vein arrays within the deposit in addition to the main NNW
striking contact lode. This information, along with all drilling, trial mining and toll milling data has been reviewed, validated
and incorporated into the drilling database and used to compile an updated independent Mineral Resource Estimate
compliant with the JORC 2012 Code by geological consultants, Optiro. The updated 2021 open cut Mineral Resource
Estimate now stands at:
11Mt grading 1.26g/t Au for 448koz at 0.5g/t Au lower cut-off grade
The updated April 2021 MRE as a direct comparison of the Cube 2018 MRE to 200m depth shows a significant increase
in grade from 0.94g/t Au to 1.26g/t Au. Total gold decreases from 474,000oz (excluding the trial mining depletion of
8,100oz) to 448,000oz, a small 4% reduction. This result is largely due to improved modelling of the flat lodes at Regal
and also at Royal and Crown Jewel.

OPERATIONS REPORT
BOORARA GOLD PROJECT – TRIAL MINING (CONTINUED)
The April 2021 Mineral Resource model (after depletion from trial mining) shows a reduction in tonnage offset by a 34%
increase in grade which was the main aim of the trial. The inclusion of the cross cutting flat lying vein arrays in addition
to the main contact lode has potential to significantly improve the economics of the project with a high metal content per
vertical metre.

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).
In FY21, 11,359m of resource and extension drilling was completed at the Teal project area. Technical work completed
included resource model review, preliminary mining studies for Teal Stage 3, Jacques Find and Peyes Farm and
metallurgical assessment. 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.

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 7). The project area contains the core satellite Crake and Coote projects in the south of the tenement
package and Honeyeater and Kestrel prospects to the north.
During the March Quarter, a total of 47 RC holes for 4,713m to 200m depth were completed at Coote, Honeyeater and
the Kestrel discovery (Figure 3) with excellent results now received including1:
10m @ 2.07g/t Au from 49m including 1m @ 11.09g/t Au from 57m and 5m @ 5.22g/t Au from 94m including
1m @ 18.91g/t Au from 97m (Kestrel)
2m @ 4.19g/t Au from 34m and 1m @ 12.12g/t Au from 72m (Kestrel)
4m @ 11.45g/t Au from 113m including 1m @ 32.4g/t Au from 115m (Honeyeater)
4m @ 5.15g/t Au from 93m including 1m @ 13.54g/t Au from 93m (Honeyeater)
2m @ 1.89g/t Au from 62m, 1m @ 2.70g/t Au from 67m, 17m @ 1.67g/t Au from 78m including 1m @ 11.0g/t
Au from 79m (Coote)
2m @ 1.54g/t Au from 28m, 3m @ 1.10g/t Au from 58m, 10m @ 3.20g/t Au from 68m and 6m @ 1.26g/t Au
from 98m (Coote)
5m @ 2.28g/t Au from 56m, 3m @ 1.90g/t Au from 66m and 2m @ 1.03g/t Au from 71m (Coote)
The geology at Binduli is dominated by the Black Flag Group – a sequence of intermediate and felsic volcanics,
sedimentary rocks and porphyry intrusives. Typically, the area is covered by major North North-West (NNW) shear zones
cutting across the historic Binduli goldfield. Close to West Kalgoorlie are the Crake and Coote deposits which are similar
to the nearby 390,000oz Janet Ivy open pit, located 1,500m south, where the gold is hosted in a structurally controlled
pink feldspar porphyry. At the nearby Fort William and Fort Scott open pits, where over 100,000oz have been produced
to date, gold is hosted within sheared units of volcanics and clastic sediments.
Given the success to date at Binduli, the project has been elevated to one of the top six core projects being advanced
by the Company in the Kalgoorlie region as part of the consolidated Feasibility Study.

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 8).
During the year, exploration drilling was completed at the Windanya and Baden Powell prospect areas, as part of the
50,000m exploration program. Drilling comprised 57 aircore holes and 21 RC holes for 3,750m to a maximum depth of
138m, infill drilling at Baden Powell and following up excellent results previously intercepted at the Gemini and Scorpio
prospects.
The Windanya group of tenements are located on the western limb of the Mt Pleasant Dome, west of the Bardoc Tectonic
Zone (Figure 8). The stratigraphy comprises a NNW striking sequence of ultramafics (Siberia Komatiite), overlain by
mafic volcanics and intrusives (the Big Dick Basalt, Mt Pleasant Sill (dolerite) and the Bent Tree basalt. The western part
of the project area is dominated by large granite batholiths. Mineralisation is typically hosted within moderate to steep
dipping shears along the contacts. Historic mining exploited narrow (0.1m – 3.0m) quartz reefs which pinch and swell
along strike and dip.

BADEN POWELL AND WINDANYA GOLD PROJECTS – EXPLORATION (CONTINUED)
Results from six aircore holes across the new Gemini prospect were released in the March Quarter 2021 with the best
results being found in discovery hole WAC20019 including:
2m @ 26.68g/t Au from 35m including 1m @ 39.71g/t Au from 35m and 1m @ 13.66g/t Au from 36m
1m @ 2.59g/t Au from 40m and 1m @ 4.88g/t Au from 46m
2m @ 4.99g/t Au from 67m
The gold appears to be hosted by a contact related, 35m wide quartz stockwork, within oxidised basalts and dolerite.
Follow up RC drilling (seven holes for 673m) at Gemini also returned encouraging results:
5m @ 4.37g/t Au from 38m including 1m @ 13.68g/t Au from 38m and 3m @ 4.18g/t Au from 53m
(GMRC21001)
1m @ 1.76g/t Au from 65m and 2m @ 1.63g/t Au from 69m (GMRC21004)
The new drilling indicated there was a stronger supergene component and complexity than what was previously known.
Follow up AC and RC drilling is planned in 2021.
Seven AC holes (256m) and nine shallow RC holes (510m) were drilled at the Scorpio prospect (Figure 8) where historic
drilling intersected minor gold (4m @ 0.64g/t Au from 4m). Several shallow high-grade results were intercepted including1:
3m @ 6.44g/t Au from 3m including 1m @ 9.71g/t Au from 3m and 1m @ 8.04g/t Au from 4m (WAC20003)

The gold appears to be hosted by a contact related, 35m wide quartz stockwork, within oxidised basalts and dolerite.
Historic drilling appears to have been too shallow to effectively test the bedrock.
At Baden Powell (Figure 9), infill pit drilling intersected high-grade mineralisation that could not be tested with regular
drilling outside of the pit area.
Results from the program as announced to the ASX on 26 May 2021 included:
4m @ 3.72g/t Au from 16m and 12m @ 1.46 g/t Au from 32m (BPRC20005)

OPERATIONS REPORT
KALGOORLIE REGIONAL GOLD PROJECTS – EXPLORATION
During the year, detailed gravity surveys and reprocessing were completed at Black Flag, Lakewood, Yarmany and
Kanowna. Target generation studies have been completed with exploration drilling scheduled to commence in FY2021.
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 and Gunga West.
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.
RICHMOND VANADIUM JV HORIZON 25% – EXPLORATION PROJECT
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 11 and 12) 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.

OPERATIONS REPORT
RICHMOND VANADIUM JV HORIZON 25% – EXPLORATION PROJECT (CONTINUED)
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.
During FY20, RVT completed a 7,817m drilling program at the Lilyvale vanadium deposit (Figure 12) 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.
Figure 12
Horizon Minerals Ltd (formerly Intermin Resources Limited) Richmond Vanadium Project location
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 Tables and Competent Persons Statement on Page 22).
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 and generation of an Ore Reserve.
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 Tables and Competent Persons Statement on Page 22).
As announced to the ASX on 27 October 2020, a positive Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) was released focussed on the
development of the Lilyvale vanadium deposit. The PFS was based on an initial 20-year life at Lilyvale demonstrating a
financially viable project with the following key metrics:
Shallow open pit mining producing 81.2Mt at a fully diluted grade of 0.49% V2O5 for 15.8Mt of 1.82% V2O5
concentrate with concentrate production on site
Refining overall recovery at 86.1% produces 254,000 tonnes of 98% V2O5 commercial grade flake with
average annual production of 12,700t V2O5
Modest up-front capital costs of US$157.4m and operating cash costs of US$5.53/lb of 98% V2O5 flake
At a spot price of US$7.10/lb V2O5, project generates NPV8% of ~US$150.0M, improving significantly with the
recent increase in vanadium pentoxide flake prices in China
The next steps for the project are to finalise the optionality within the PFS to the next level of study where required in
areas such as determining the optimal power supply for the project along with progressing environmental studies and
preparing the documents for government permitting and approvals. In parallel, discussions shall continue with potential
offtake partners in conjunction with assessing the way forward in relation to the project, including financing or assessing
other options for maximising shareholder benefit from the project.

OPERATIONS REPORT
NIMBUS SILVER-ZINC PROJECT– EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION
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 22).
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 and as announced to the ASX on 11 February
2021, the Company will retain the project and engage an independent technical team to complete the DFS in 2021.
During the year, activities focussed on the technical aspects of the geology, mineralogy and concentrate options for the
deposits with the aim of generating separate silver, zinc and potentially gold concentrates for direct sale. Initial
discussions with potential offtake partners have shown significant interest in these concentrates enabling a simplified
process flow sheet to be evaluated at significantly reduced capital and operating costs.
WHITE RANGE GOLD PROJECT (DIVESTED)
The Company has divested 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.

The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other
countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus
that may be provided.
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.
On 17 August 2021, the Company announced an update to the PFS on the Richmond Vanadium Project JV adjusting for
increased commodity prices and increasing the NPV to A$613M.
There are no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since 30 June 2021 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

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

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 2021, 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 2020 to 30 June
2021 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 2021 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 10 September 2021.
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 2021, 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 2020.
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 2021.
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 2021. 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 2.
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 including its subsidiaries (refer Note 27). As at 30 June 2021, 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.

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 31.
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
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
(i)
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity
is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each
contract with a customer, the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies
the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into
account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction
price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price
of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each
performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the
goods or services promised
(ii)
Sale of gold
Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable. Revenue is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the
goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.

Revenue recognition (continued)
(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 2021, 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1g
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.

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are
generally due for settlement within 30 days.
The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which
uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have
been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

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 2021.
(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 2021.
(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.

Right-of-use assets
comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at
or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred,
and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for
dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain
ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful
life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability
for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on
these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
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 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.

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
Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised
at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the
interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's
incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under
residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is
reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that
do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts
are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an
index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination
penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use
asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use
asset is fully written down.

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.
1x
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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually
evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and
expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and
on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable
under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related
actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within
the next financial year are discussed below.
2a
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has
had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to
the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions
in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not
currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant
uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably
as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
2b
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to
the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined
by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon
which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled
share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Refer to note 24 for further information.
2c
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other
indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated
entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-
use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (CONTINUED)
2c
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
(continued)
It is reasonably possible that the underlying metal price assumption may change which may then impact
the estimated life of mine determinant and may then require a material adjustment to the carrying value of
mining plant and equipment, mining infrastructure and mining development assets. Furthermore, the
expected future cash flows used to determine the value-in-use of these assets are inherently uncertain
and could materially change over time. They are significantly affected by a number of factors including
reserves and production estimates, together with economic factors such as metal spot prices, discount
rates, estimates of costs to produce reserves and future capital expenditure.
2d
Income tax
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant
judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and
calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is
uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the
consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is
different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in
the period in which such determination is made.
2e
Rehabilitation provision
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future rehabilitation of land
explored or mined. The consolidated entity's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws
and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The consolidated entity recognises
management's best estimate for assets retirement obligations and site rehabilitations in the period in which
they are incurred. Actual costs incurred in the future periods could differ materially from the estimates.
Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates and discount
rates could affect the carrying amount of this provision.
2f
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the consolidated entity will
commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion
to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised
which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads
between those that are expensed and capitalised.
In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful
development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial
production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could
impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that
capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in
which this determination is made.

Tax Consolidation
Horizon Minerals and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries are part of an
income tax consolidated group and have entered into tax sharing and tax
funding agreements. Under the terms of these agreements, the subsidiaries
will reimburse Horizon Minerals for any current income tax payable by Horizon
Minerals arising in respect of their activities. The reimbursements are payable
at the same time as the associated income tax liability falls due and will
therefore be recognised as a current tax-related receivable by Horizon
Minerals when they arise. In the opinion of the Directors, the tax sharing
agreement is also a valid agreement under the tax consolidation legislation
and limits the joint and several liability of the subsidiaries in the event of a
default by Horizon Minerals.

CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
28a 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.
28b 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.
28c On 29 March 2021, the Group announced the divestment of two royalties covering the Janet Ivy and Otto Bore
gold projects in the Western Australian goldfield for a consideration of $7 million consisting of $4 million in cash
on settlement and $3 million in cash or shares in Vox Royalty Corp. (Vox, TSX: VOX) at Vox’s election and on the
achievement of cumulative royalty payments to Vox of $750,000.

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 $4,236,200 (2020:
$4,266,342).
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 2021 would have been ± $2,965,340 (2020: ± $2,986,439).
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.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability

to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Board aims at maintaining flexibility in funding through
management of its cash resources.

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).
The following table presents the group’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June
2021 and 30 June 2020:

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.

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.
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.
32 EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER REPORTING DATE
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has been financially positive for the
Group up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the
reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian
Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel
restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
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.
On 17 August 2021, the Company announced an update to the PFS on the Richmond Vanadium Project JV
adjusting for increased commodity prices and increasing the NPV to A$613M.
There are no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since 30 June 2021 that have or may significantly
affect the operations, results, or state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.

Key Audit Matter
The key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgement, was of most significance in our audit of the financial report
for the current year. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming
our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter. For the matter below, our description of how our
audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
Carrying value of capitalised exploration expenditure
Why significant
How our audit addressed the key audit
As at 30 June 2021 the carrying value of exploration
and evaluation assets was $48,931,342 (2020:
$35,755,748), as disclosed in Note 13.
The consolidated entity’s accounting policy
in
respect of exploration and evaluation expenditure is
outlined in Note 1 (e). Estimates and judgments in
relation to capitalised exploration and evaluation
expenditure is detailed at Note 2(f).

Other Information
Those charged with governance are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the consolidated entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report
and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Directors’ for the Financial Report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the consolidated entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but
to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the consolidated entity’s internal
control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the Directors.
H o r i z o n M i n e r a l s L i m i t e d A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 2 1
P a g e 7 3
PKF Perth
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the
financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within
the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and
performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on
our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of
the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2021.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Horizon Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021, complies with section
300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance
with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based
on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
