CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW
Dear Shareholder
The 2022 financial year has been a challenging one for the resources sector as a whole. 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$1,700 per ounce mark. With the Australian dollar
gold price holding between A$2,400-A$2,600 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 managed well in this difficult environment despite severe labour
shortages and escalating costs. The 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 2022 financial year saw volatile capital markets for junior explorers and emerging developers. The first half saw 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 second half saw a reduction in exploration expenditure in the junior end
as capital reduced. 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 progressed on a number of fronts during the year with the large scale exploration program, acquisitions
and divestments, resource growth, underground mine studies and the demerger of the 25% interest in the Richmond
vanadium project. The Company decided to place the Feasibility Study on hold during a period of severe cost escalation
and construction risk and adopted a contract mining – toll milling model as we have successfully utilised in the past.
Over 40,900m of drilling was completed during the year with excellent results received across the portfolio delivering
resource growth and a number of new discoveries. Exploration drilling at Yarmany, Lakewood and the Greater Boorara-
Cannon projects intercepted high grade gold mineralisation and nickel sulphide and PGM mineralisation. Given this
success, the focus for the FY2023 program will on increased drilling for multiple commodities across these three core
areas.
A number of strategic acquisitions were announced during the year including the Cannon – Glandore – Cowarna deal
and the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the high-grade Penny’s Find underground project. These acquisitions are in-
line with our strategy of developing high grade – low tonnage underground and open pit projects under the contract
mining – toll milling model for cash generation. The Cannon Feasibility Study was released, and a sequence of
underground developments proposed including Penny’s Find and Rose Hill.
During the year, the Company announced a number of divestments including non-core assets and the sale of listed
investments to contribute to exploration funding and asset purchases. These divestments will continue in the FY2023
enabling focus on the three core exploration areas and to assist in funding the proposed underground developments.
The Company also announced its intention to demerge and progress an IPO for the Richmond vanadium project including
an in-specie distribution back to shareholders and a priority offering in the IPO. The internal restructure of the IPO vehicle
Richmond Vanadium Technology was completed and now holds 100% of the project and is progressing the IPO process
for a proposed listing in 2022. A new dedicated Board is now in place and the Company has received significant interest
in this emerging new green energy critical mineral for use in the grid scale renewable energy storage market.
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-CANNON GOLD PROJECT AREA
The Boorara-Cannon Gold Project (BGP) area comprises the 100% owned 448,000oz Boorara gold mine, the Golden
Ridge project to the south, Cannon project 10km to the east 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 Mineral Resource Estimate
(MRE). Stage 1 low grade ore reconciling at 98,121 dry tonnes at a grade of 0.93g/t was treated through the Lakewood
Toll Milling plant through a JV with Golden Mile Milling netting the company A$1.35m. The consolidated Feasibility Study
was placed on hold due to significant short-term volatility in capital and operating costs due to labour shortages, materials
cost inflation and supply shortages, with the company aiming to monetise low tonnage, high grade assets via
underground mining and toll milling. The Cannon feasibility study was released during the year showing good economics,
with this project being the first in a series of underground operations to be progressed, with approvals and mining to be
progressed in the year to come.
UNDERGROUND GOLD PROJECTS
The Cannon Gold Project was acquired by the company in October 2021, the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) updated

UNDERGROUND GOLD PROJECTS (CONTINUED)
The Ore Reserve reflects the mining of the Cannon Mineral Resource via underground mining methods below the existing
open pit. There is approximately three months of preproduction works including pit dewatering, mobilisation, and site
establishment, followed by sixteen months of mining.
Operational activities shall be undertaken by a mining contractor with technical and managerial oversight provided by
Horizon. Mining will be underground with access via a portal within the pit to develop the decline to the base of the mine,
with lateral ore drives developed from the decline. The mining method will be a bottom-up method using longhole stoping
with Cemented Rockfill (CRF). Ore and waste shall be loaded out by conventional diesel-powered Load-Haul-Dump
(LHD) loaders and low profile trucks. Development undertaken with Jumbo Drills and stoping with Longhole drills.
Following pre-production activities, development occurs over a period of seven months, with stoping and backfilling
operations commencing in month seven. Sufficient ore stockpiles for milling shall be built-up to enable processing to
occur over months seven to seventeen with processing completed one month after mining is completed.
It is anticipated that the Penny’s Find gold mine shall be developed next in the underground development project pipeline,
followed by the Rose Hill project. The Penny’s Find resource was updated during the year and stands at:

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. During the reporting period, the
Company commenced the 13,000m regional drilling program within the greater Boorara project area exploring for
Boorara style mineralisation and new discoveries (both precious and base metals) along the 25km of strike along the
Boorara shear zone.
In total 67 RC holes for 8,141m to a maximum depth of 234m tested several near mine and regional base load targets
between the 448koz Boorara deposit and the 31koz Golden Ridge deposit 4km to the south.
At Golden Ridge, the drilling results confirmed that the porphyry host rock contains multiple, narrow flat lodes of quartz
veining (Figure 3). The unusual thickness (up to 26m) of the intercepts in GRRC21010 and GRRC21011 was of particular
interest. A field crew from ABIMS downhole surveys was later mobilised to complete downhole ATV/OTV imagery to get
a better understanding of the Golden Ridge North structure. Better results at Golden Ridge North include1:
o 3m @ 1.08g/t Au from 94m and 26m @ 1.12g/t Au from 130m (GRRC21010)
o 3m @ 1.41g/t Au from 100m and 12m @ 1.11g/t Au from 128m (GRRC21011)

Golden Ridge drilling highlights
About 2.5km south of Golden Ridge, the Company commenced testing a large surface gold anomaly with an Air Core
rig. In total, 35 holes for 2,654m were drilled along old grid lines (refer to ASX announcement dated 20 October 2021).
Results are still pending for 18 holes with results received to date including 1:
o
o
3m @ 5.01g/t Au from 52m including 1m @ 10.30g/t Au from 54m (GRAC21007)
4m @ 1.86g/t Au from 40m* (GRAC21021)
Recent mapping has now confirmed this area as being the extension of the Golden Ridge stratigraphy. As mentioned,
two of the drillholes returned significant mineralisation and follow up drilling will be completed in 2022.
The mapping has also identified highly magnetic olivine bearing magnesium (Mg) ultramafics (e.g. serpentinised
komatiite) to the west of Golden Ridge. Komatiites can be fertile hosts for nickel sulphide mineralisation in this region.
Very little nickel sulphide focussed drilling has been undertaken at Golden Ridge.
During 2022, 7 RC holes were drilled into the ultramafics at Golden Ridge area with a view to casing 3 of the holes for a
geophysical down hole electrical survey “DHMEM”, this work is ongoing and will be reported in the 2022 December
quarter.
At the Beehive prospect (Figure 4), 500m northwest of the Regal trial pit, historic mineralisation was confirmed. Further
step back drilling is now planned. Significant results included1:
o 1m @ 1.28g/t Au from 49m, 1m @ 1.23g/t Au from 53m, 1m @ 1.03g/t Au from 57m and 1m @ 2.06g/t Au from 70m

o
Follow up drilling is also planned. Together with the Beehive prospect and historical results, this 2.5km long newly
identified corridor west of the Regal and Royal pits has surprisingly received little modern exploration and now firms up
as another new priority area2.
Further south at the Chapple Bore prospect, 1,200m from the Royal trial pit, strong Au mineralisation was observed in
BORC21010 (2m @ 1.35g/t Au from 53m and 8m @ 1.30g/t Au from 64m). This area is accessible only to the north
where there has been very little historical drilling.
One RC hole was also located midway between Golden Ridge and Boorara (Figure 4). It confirmed the open-ended
historical mineralisation in RRC1 (Wamex A57937 3m @ 5.37g/t Au from 42m and 1m @ 2.79g/t Au from 48m) with
another encouraging scissor hole returning:
8m @ 1.30g/t Au from 53m and 1m @ 1.31g/t Au from 70m (BORC21015)
o
Horizon Minerals also completed 4,645m of regional Air Core drilling to the north of Boorara testing multiple targets for
gold toward Kanowna Belle and silver-zinc, nickel, copper and Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) within the Nimbus
stratigraphy (Figure 3). No significant results were returned.

BINDULI GOLD PROJECT AREA – EXPLORATION
The Binduli project is located 9km west of Kalgoorlie – Boulder. 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.
About 5km north of Coote/Crake are the new Kestrel discovery and emerging Honeyeater prospects The Kestrel
mineralisation coincides with a variable thickness of quartz-sulphide veining tentatively on a porphyry/volcanic contact.
Assay results from an initial 4,372m RC program returned:
o 23m @ 5.84g/t Au from 84m (KRC21007)
o 4m @ 24.27g/t Au from 92m (KRC21044)

New discovery drilling
During the Quarter, first pass green fields exploration commenced at the Yarmany project following a comprehensive
targeting study, geochemical / geophysical review and field reconnaissance work. RC and Air Core drilling has been
utilised to ensure sufficient depths are achieved along the Mt Ida fault and the Reptile shear zone with multiple targets
selected for gold, nickel sulphide and mineral bearing pegmatites. The Yarmany project area is located 25km northwest
of Coolgardie and 65km west of Kalgoorlie – Boulder in Western Australia (Figure 1).
The geology at the Yarmany Project area is dominated by tholeiitic and high MgO basalts, felsic and pelitic schists after
felsic volcanic rocks and/or sediments with less common lithologies including komatiitic ultramafics and granitoid
intrusives, including pegmatites. The largest of these granitoids, which occur in the southern parts of Yarmany is the Silt
Dam Monzogranite, interpreted to be a post-regional folding granitoid. The region has variable metamorphic grade, but
generally varies between low to high amphibolite facies typical for this western part of the Kalgoorlie Terrane.
The western margin of the Yarmany project is bounded by the 500km long, northerly trending Ida Fault, a crustal scale,
east dipping, listric fault extending to greater than 15 km below surface.
The Yarmany drilling campaign was the Company’s first program at this underexplored project. The drilling was
completed in two phases, namely reverse circulation (RC) and Air Core drilling. Air Core drilling is typically used as a
lower cost alternative to RC drilling, especially during the early exploration stage while covering a larger testing area. It
is, however, often limited to drilling within the softer, more weathered rocks. A total of 47 RC holes for 4,413m and 72 Air
Core holes for 2,617m were completed (Figure 7).
Two small historic prospects along the Reptile shear, that had reported high grade gold mineralisation (up to 14.5g/t Au),
were tested by six RC holes with no significant results. Better results were achieved in areas where there was only
minimal historic RAB drilling.
The best Reptile shear results obtained to date was in a quartz stockwork zone where 19 scout RC holes discovered at
least two new gold systems (Figure 9). Significant results included 1:
o 2m @ 4.95g/t Au from 86m (YMRC21044)
o 2m @ 3.58g/t Au from 66m and 2m @ 1.25g/t Au from 78m (YMRC21040)
o 1m @ 1.27g/t Au from 54m and 2m @ 1.41g/t Au from 59m (YMRC21043)
o 2m @ 1.33g/t Au from 63m (YMRC21041)
o 1m @ 1.81g/t Au from 111m (YMRC21015)
• A further 1km to the south-east, another emerging prospect at Wotan included:
o 1m @ 1.61g/t Au from 48m (YMRC21009)
o 1m @ 1.81g/t Au from 111m (YMRC21015, note bottom of hole terminated at 114m assayed 0.34g/t Au)
Typically, the oxide weathering profile around the Reptile shear has a variable depth but extended to over 100m in depth
in some areas.
Further encouraging gold mineralisation was observed at the Big Red prospect where historic auger sampling had
outlined a 3.5km x 2km soil anomaly with a peak value of 75ppb Au with 6,500m of RAB drilling delineated six anomalous
areas that recorded bottom of the hole results >1.0g/t Au. Four diamond drillholes that followed up the better prospects
returned modest levels of gold (best result 12BRDDH004 1.1m @ 2.56g/t Au from 56.9m).

o 6m @ 1.14g/t Au from 66m (YMRC21021, note bottom of hole assay was 1.69g/t Au from 71m-72m).
In addition, an Air Core program comprising 72 shallow holes and were drilled to test some magnetic highs for nickel and
follow up on the pegmatite outcrops observed in October 2021. Drilling across the many magnetic highs (mapped by the
GSWA as being an ultramafic rock) outlined a regolith with anomalous Ni-Cr-Co, geochemistry consistent with nickel
laterite mineralisation that typically occur over ultramafic rocks in Western Australia. Bulked results from the Air Core
drilling include:
o 27m @ 0.42% Ni and 299ppm Co from 4m including 4m @ 0.71% Ni and 767ppm Co from 20m and 3m @
0.58% Ni and 412ppm Co from 28m (YMAC21007)
o 16m @ 0.33% Ni and 344ppm Co from 4m (YMAC21011)
o 30m @ 0.26% Ni and 130ppm Co from surface including 2m @ 0.67% Ni and 136ppm Co from 28m
(YMAC21006)
The results confirm the nickel prospectivity of this 1.6km long magnetic ultramafic unit (talc-chlorite schist). Although
there are low grade laterites and clays in the Yarmany regolith, Horizon is focussed on locating nickel sulphides that
could be located beneath this laterite mineralisation. Horizon notes there is very little historic, or recent drilling, targeting
nickel sulphides along this or any of the other mapped ultramafics of magnetic highs within the 50km long tenure.
The bulk of the Air Core drilling was directed to locating and testing pegmatites, in particular lithium rich pegmatites.
Lithium pegmatites have been well documented in this region with several nearby companies progressing their projects
(refer to Red Dirt Metal Limited). Access around Yarmany was hampered by POW approval delays and lack of any
access tracks. The pegmatite outcrop discovered in October gave Horizon a starting point as very few pegmatites had
been documented at Yarmany.
Drilling along two cross lines at 50m spacings confirmed the presence of multiple pegmatite dykes in a quartz-biotite
schist, however most lithium results were <50ppm. Some elevated results up to 128 ppm lithium were noted and warrant
further investigation. Rare, greenish crystals (2-4mm) of spodumene or beryl were also observed in the drill cuttings
The Lakewood project is located 20km southeast of Kalgoorlie - Boulder (Figure 1) and is extensively covered by Playa
Lake sediments, aeolian deposits derived from desiccated playas and other transported Cainozoic material. Only a small
portion of the Project area is covered by in-situ soils, and there is virtually no outcrop. Lakewood typically comprises a
thin veneer of soils overlying plastic clays that vary in thickness from 2m - 40m. Below this are unconsolidated clays and
sands and then bedrock. Sandy grey clay filled paleochannels exist within the central Project area, some of which host
small amounts of alluvial gold. There has been no mining activity on the tenure.
The interpreted geology of the Lakewood Project is a late-stage sedimentary basin dominated by metamorphosed
sedimentary rocks and felsic volcanic/intrusive rocks of the Black Flag Formation, together with a sequence of sediments,
basalts, mafic and ultramafic intrusives on the eastern edge.
Recent interpretative gravity work in 2021 by an external consultant has shown that this linear zone of mafic/ultramafic
intrusives is located on a regional scale (~10mGal), deep seated (+1,600m) NNW trending, vertical dipping litho-
boundary. This could be a potentially key driver as many of the Ni and PGM occurrences in the Eastern Goldfields are
sited close to deep crustal structures.
During 2021, the Company completed a first pass reconnaissance program comprising 59 air core holes for 3,002m
testing four priority targets for nickel-cobalt and platinum group metals over a mafic/ultramafic intrusives and sediments.
Significant composite results received to date from the key targets include (Figure 8):
o 8m @ 206ppb Pt & 35ppb Pd from surface (PGM 2E 0.24g/t), 4m @ 67ppb Pt and 39ppb Pd from 8m and
4m @ 124ppb Pt and 24ppb Pd from 24m (PGM 2E 0.14g/t) (LKAC21025)
o 4m @ 133ppb Pt & 37ppb Pd from 20m (PGM 2E 0.17g/t), and 4m @ 90ppb Pt, 34ppb Pd and 503ppm
Ni from 24m (LKAC21014)
o 8m @ 131ppb Pt, 14 ppb Pd (PGM 2E 0.14g/t), 726ppm Ni, 119ppm Co from 20m and 4m @ 102ppm Cd
from 64m, 4m @ 921ppm Cu from 68m (to end of hole) (LKAC21023)
The Company sees significant opportunity for the discovery of new deposits within the three core project generation
areas at Greater Boorara, Yarmany and Lakewood and will be a key focus for the Company in 2022.

Lilyvale Vanadium project location and Richmond Lease areas
Lilyvale project
The advanced Lilyvale deposit is located 45km northwest of the Richmond Township and in close proximity to the Flinders
Highway and Great Northern Railway line (Figures 9 and 10). The shallow supergene deposit is 5m to 15m thick, up to
4km wide, over 50km long and is open along strike. Lilyvale has been the focus for initial development studies and
extensive metallurgical test work and flowsheet design given the grade, shallow depth, absence of oil shale and continuity
of the deposit that can provide globally significant supply to the steel and emerging energy storage markets for over 100
years.
Lilyvale Pre-Feasibility Study results
As announced to the ASX on 22 March 2022, a positive PFS was released focussed on the development of the Lilyvale
vanadium deposit.

As announced to the ASX on 24 November 2021, Horizon executed a Process Deed with its joint venture partner RVT
under which both companies agreed to work together to progress a transaction anticipated to include:
•
The restructuring of the respective project ownership interests into a dedicated incorporated vehicle holding
100% of the project (“IPO Vehicle”) with shares initially held by Horizon (25%) and the existing shareholders of
RVT (75%);
• Establishment of a high-quality Board and executive team for the IPO Vehicle;
• An in-specie distribution of a portion of Horizon’s shares in the IPO Vehicle to Horizon shareholders; and
• Application to list on the ASX through an IPO of new shares in the IPO Vehicle with a priority entitlement to
existing Horizon shareholders
As announced to the ASX on the 3 May 2022, the Company and RVT executed a Sale and Purchase Agreement and
agreed that RVT would be the dedicated IPO Vehicle. All conditions precedent has now been satisfied and the
Shareholders Agreement to govern the operation of RVT until the planned IPO has been executed.
RVT now owns 100% of the Project with shares held by Horizon (25%) and existing shareholders of RVT (75%) and has
commenced the IPO process with Joint Lead Managers Bell Potter Securities Ltd and Euroz Hartleys Ltd.
The new Board of RVT is now in place and comprises:

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 divested 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 Industry, Tourism and Trade 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 report
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.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has been financially positive for the Group
up to 30 June 2022, 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 1 July 2022, the Company announced a prospectus offer of Share Purchase Plan (SPP) shares and options to eligible
shareholders (SPP Offer) as well as an offer of placement options to placement subscribers (Placement Options Offer).
The SPP to raise $2,000,000 follows the Company’s institutional placement announced on 24 June 2022 which raised
$4,000,000 before costs by issuing placement shares at 9 cents per share. For every one share subscribed for at 9
cents per share by an eligible participant (SPP Share) as part of a share purchase plan offer under the SPP, the eligible
participant will be entitled to one free SPP option under the Prospectus. For every one share subscribed for at 9 cents

DIRECTORS' REPORT
Performance Rights
Further details on the performance and valuations attaching to the performance rights are included in Note 24a to the
Financial Statements.
The fair value of the rights was determined using a Hoadley’s Barrier 1 model. A total amount of $296,135 is included in
the Statement of Financial Performance and Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended 30 June 2022 (2021 -
$219,216), of which $189,844 (2021 - $201,883) 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 2022, 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.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
During the financial year, the Group maintained an insurance policy which indemnifies the Directors and Officers of
Horizon Minerals Limited in respect of any liability incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as Directors
or Officers of the Group. The Group's insurers have prohibited disclosure of the amount of the premium payable and the
level of indemnification under the insurance contract.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor or a related practice of
the auditor is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
No non-audit services have been provided by the Company’s auditors in year ended 30 June 2022. Remuneration paid
to the Company’s auditors is detailed in Note 21 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 PKF Perth, the Group’s auditor, as presented on page 35 of this Annual Report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The Group’s exploration and mining operations are subject to environment regulation under the laws of the
Commonwealth and the States. The Company holds exploration/mining tenements in Western Australia, Northern
Territory and Queensland and thus is subject to the Mining Acts of these states, each with specific conditions relating to
environmental management. In some instances, bonds are held by the Company’s bank in favour of the Minister for
Mines to be released to the Company when the Minister is satisfied that conditions imposed on tenement licences have
been met. In some jurisdictions Cash Bonds must be lodged with the relevant Department until conditions are fulfilled.
Bonds currently in place in respect of the Company’s tenement holdings are tabulated below.
Tenement Number
Tenement Name
MLs150, 151
White Range
Bond Held $
257,927*
*Pursuant to the White Range Mining Tenement Sale Agreement dated 18 January 2013 the Purchaser Red Dingo
Corporation Pty Ltd is required to replace the Security Bond allowing refund of the current $257,927 to Horizon Minerals
Limited.
The Directors advise that during the year ended 30 June 2022, 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 2021 to 30 June
2022 the directors have assessed that there are no current reporting requirements, but may be required to do so in the
future.
PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF COMPANY
No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group or intervene in any proceedings to
which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those
proceedings.
The Group was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

This financial report of Horizon Minerals Limited (‘the Company’) for the year ended 30 June 2022 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 28 September 2022.
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 2022, 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 2021.
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 2022.
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 2022. 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.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern which contemplates continuity
of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course
of business. As disclosed in the financial statements, the Company incurred a loss of $28,029,383 (30
June 2021: profit of $ 2,447,429) and had cash outflows from operating activities of 2,391,860 for the year
ended 30 June 2022 (30 June 2021: inflows of $ 6,053,098). As at that date, the Company had net current
assets of $ 1,807,357 (30 June 2020: net current assets of $11,515,920) and continues to incur
expenditure on its exploration tenements drawing on its cash balances. As at 30 June 2022 the Group had
$5,406,635 (30 June 2021: $11,315,965) in cash and cash equivalents.
The ability of the Company and the Group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is
dependent upon the Company successfully raising additional share capital and ultimately developing its
mineral properties.
The accounts have been prepared on the basis that the Company can meet its commitments as and when
they fall due and can therefore continue normal business activities, and the realisation of assets and
liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Directors believe that they will continue to be successful
in securing additional funds through equity issues as and when the need to raise working capital arises.

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 2022, 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.
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.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. A change
in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where
the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-
controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. Details of the
non-controlling interests are set out in Note 31.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position and
statement of changes in equity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the
non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including
goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative
translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of
the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or
loss in profit or loss.
(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.
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.

1c
Income tax
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.
Interest income
(ii)
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 2022, 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.
1g
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.
1h
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.

1i
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.
1j
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.
1k
Trade receivables
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.
1m
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 2022.
(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 2022.
(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.
1n
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.
1o
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.
1q
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.
1r
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.
1s
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.
1t
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.
1v
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.
1w
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.
1x
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.
1y
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.

Associates
Associates are entities over which the consolidated entity has significant influence but not control or joint
control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method,
the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the
movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried
in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share
of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the
investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends received or receivable
from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the consolidated entity's share of losses in an associate equal or exceeds its interest in the
associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the consolidated entity does not recognise
further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The consolidated entity discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of significant influence
over the associate and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the
associate's carrying amount, fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is
recognised in profit or loss.

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.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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (CONTINUED)
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.
2g
Associates accounted for using the equity method
Judgement is exercised in determining cost of the associate, and the significant influence but without
control or joint control. The consolidated entity discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of
significant influence over the associate and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Where the
consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable
returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to
direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is
transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases

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.
7d
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.
7e
Change in corporate tax rate
Due to changes in operational circumstances, Horizon Minerals and its
subsidiaries should be considered a ‘base rate entity’ for income tax purposes
and therefore eligible for the reduced corporate tax rate. The impact of this
change in the corporate tax rate has been reflected in the unrecognised
deferred tax positions and the prima face income tax reconciliation above.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (CONTINUED)
(i) During the period to 30 June 2022, the Company received $350,000 being the first of three deferred payments totalling
$850,000 for the 100% divestment of its interest in the Nanadie Well Copper project to Cypirum Metals Limited (ASX:
CYM) in September 2020. The payment was made in cash and the final two tranches will be paid in Cyprium shares,
$300,000 in 24 months and $200,00 on a decision to mine from the tenure. The shares are based on a 20 days VWAP.
In June 2022, the Company received a cash deposit of $100,000 and recognised a $300,000 receivable as final
consideration for the 100% divestment of its interest in the Gunga West gold project to FMR Investments Pty Ltd (ASX:
FMR).

EXPLORATION, EVALUATION, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION
EXPENDITURE
During the year ended 30 June 2022, the Group incurred and capitalised the
following exploration, evaluation, development and production expenditure:
13a Exploration and evaluation phase
Carrying amount at beginning of the year
Capitalised during the year
Transfer to equity investment
Purchases of tenements
Sale of tenements
Impairment*
Carrying amount at end of year

Carrying amount at beginning of the year
Capitalised during the year
Mine production costs expensed***
Carrying amount at end of year
Total mining production
* Impairment of mining tenements
During the year ended 30 June 2022, impairment to mining tenements was
recorded as $31,017,868. A resulting market capitalisation has dropped to ~$40m.
The Net Assets of the group as at 30 June 2022 needed to represent this.
Management considered the market capitalisation and other relevant factors and
has determined therefore to impair the carrying amount of Exploration and
Evaluation based on market capitalisation.
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.

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 $2,328,475 (2021:
$4,236,200).
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 2022 would have been ± $1,629,932 (2021: ± $2,965,340).
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.

fair value measurement hierarchy:
(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1),
(b)
(c)
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
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

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.

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 November 2021 the Company entered into a Process Deed (as amended by a Letter Deed dated 22 February
2022) with RVT in relation to a restructure and RVT’s subsequent IPO and listing. As contemplated by the Process
Deed, the Company and RVT entered into the SPA on 2 May 2022 to formally document the transfer of the
Company’s 25% beneficial interest in the tenements comprising the Richmond Joint Venture. Completion of the
SPA occurred in June 2022, whereby RVT became the holder of 100% of the beneficial interest in the tenements
comprising the Richmond Vanadium Project, in consideration for the Company being issued an amount equal to
25% of the issued share capital of RVT on a diluted basis. Horizon’s interest in the new company was 25% and
considered significant influence by management.
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 2022, 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 1 July 2022, the Company announced a prospectus offer of Share Purchase Plan (SPP) shares and options
to eligible shareholders (SPP Offer) as well as an offer of placement options to placement subscribers (Placement
Options Offer). The SPP to raise $2,000,000 follows the Company’s institutional placement announced on 24
June 2022 which raised $4,000,000 before costs by issuing placement shares at 9 cents per share. For every
one share subscribed for at 9 cents per share by an eligible participant (SPP Share) as part of a share purchase
plan offer under the SPP, the eligible participant will be entitled to one free SPP option under the Prospectus. For
every one share subscribed for at 9 cents per share by a subscriber (Placement Share) in the placement
announced 24 June 2022 (Placement), the subscriber will be entitled to one free Placement option under the
Prospectus with an exercise price of 11 cents and expiry dated of 30 June 2025. The Company raised $539,591
from a total of 82 applications. Pursuant to the Prospectus disclosure announced on 1 July 2022, the Company
has reserved the right to issue the SPP shortfall to non-related parties at the Directors’ discretion and within the
next 3 months.
On 9 August 2022, the Company announced that, in relation to its 25% equity interest in Richmond Vanadium
Technology Pty Ltd (RVT), a strategic partnership has been established via a Binding Term Sheet signed with
Ultra Power Systems Pty Ltd a local Australian manufacturer of Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries.

shares at an issue price equivalent to the VWAP calculated over the 15 trading days prior to the Completion Date
and subject to a voluntary escrow period of 6 months. Completion is expected in the September quarter 2022.
On 30 August 2022, the Company announced that the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Penny’s
Find gold project which was announced on the 21 December 2021 has been completed following resolution of
legacy access and compensation agreements needing to be brought up to date. All conditions precent have now

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
HORIZON MINERALS LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Horizon Minerals Limited (the “Company”) and controlled
entities (consolidated entity), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022,
the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Directors’ Declaration of
the Company and the consolidated entity comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end
or from time to time during the financial year.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of Horizon Minerals Limited is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, including:
i) Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its
performance for the year ended on that date; and
ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of
our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to the financial report which indicates the consolidated entity
has incurred an operating loss of $(28,029,383) (2021: $2,447,429) and operating cash outflows of $(2,391,860)
(2021: $6,053,098) for the year ended 30 June 2022. These conditions along with other matters in note 1, indicate
the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to
continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The financial report of the consolidated entity does not include any adjustments in relation to the recoverability
and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.

Independence
We are independent of the consolidated entity in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) that are relevant to
our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the Code.
Key Audit Matters
A 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. The matters addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a

management as to the status of ongoing
exploration programmes for the areas of

Investment in associates
Why significant
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
The Group owns 25% of the shares in Richmond
Vanadium Technologies Pty Ltd (RVT). This
investment is accounted for under the equity
method in accordance with AASB 128 Investments
in Associates and Joint Ventures.
This is considered a key audit matter due to
proportion of the Group’s net assets it represents,
the judgment involved in determining the correct
accounting treatment, and the consideration of the
existence of any impairment indicators.
Our audit procedures in relation to the acquisition of
Richmond Vanadium Technologies Pty Ltd included:
• Obtaining
the Agreement, and other related
documents and ensuring that the transaction met
the definition of an associate under AASB 128
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.
• Reviewing the accounting entries in relation to the
acquisition and determining whether they were in
accordance with the Share Sale Agreement.
• Discussing the valuation methodology used by
management to determine the original purchase
price and evaluated whether there were any
potential impairment indicators.
• Obtaining other financial information specific to
RVT.
• Reviewing

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 2022, 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.
78
PKF Perth
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.
• 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.
79
PKF Perth
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 2022.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Horizon Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2022, 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.
