OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Managing Director’s Summary

During  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2018  (report  period)  the  Company  explored  and  evaluated  its  Peruvian  projects  whilst  
seeking the participation and partnership of a large mining house at its flagship project, Greater Riqueza (Riqueza). As a significant 
post-report  period  event,  we  are  now  negotiating  an  earn-in  agreement  under  which  South32  could  become  a  valued  partner  
at Riqueza. 

The  2017/2018  report  period  may  correctly  be  perceived  as  an  exploration  re-set.  Propelled  by  corporate  successes  and  a  raft 
of  significant  discoveries  at  both  Riqueza  and  Cerro  Rayas,  the  Company’s  second  zinc-focused  project  in  Peru,  the  Company  
subsequently focussed on capacity building and project expansion ahead of anticipated exploration campaigns at both projects.

Very significant developments were achieved during the report period at the Company’s zinc-silver-lead (Zn-Ag-Pb) Riqueza Project. 
These  include:  the  completion  of  a  South32-funded  geophysics  survey  with  the  generation  of  multiple  very  large  porphyry  and 
porphyry-skarn  targets;  the  decision  of  South32  to  exercise  its  option  to  negotiate  an  earn-in  agreement  (in  August  2018);  the 
discovery of significant Zn, Ag, Pb mineralisation along the Callancocha Structure at the Humaspunco Prospect; the discovery of Au, 
Ag, Zn and Pb veins and stockworks at the new Colina Roja Prospect; and the completion of phase one drilling, mainly focussed at the 
Humaspunco Prospect.

Equally  significant  developments  were  also  achieved  at  Cerro  Rayas.  These  include:  the  identification  of  very  strong  Zn-Ag-Pb 
mineralisation at the Vilcapuquio, Torrepata and Wari mine workings located within the project area; and the application for eight new 
concessions to cover newly identified mining workings and mineralised outcrops.

Recognising the increased prospectively of its two projects and the re-rate potential moving forward, the Company took measures to 
increase the size of its project portfolio footprint and build exploration/logistics capacity during the report period, especially significant 
in the context of a securing a partner at Riqueza. A rights issue and three controlled placements were completed during the report 
period raising the Company $1.62 million (before associated raising costs). The Company constructed an exploration camp at Cerro 
Rayas and added camp capacity at Riqueza. The Company also held discussions with its valued communities, who, most importantly, 
continue to support our activities at both projects.

Exploration Highlights

The Company’s two zinc-focussed projects, Riqueza and Cerro Rayas, produced many highlights during the report period. The clearest 
possible indication that Riqueza, in particular, is a highly prospective project with an exciting exploration trajectory, is the fact that 
South32 exercised its option to negotiate an earn in agreement on the basis of expenditure of between US$8M and US$10M for 60% 
of the project. The Company believes that Cerro Rayas’ potential is similar to that of Riqueza’s and continued working towards realising 
this during the report period.

A Regional Prospective

The Riqueza and Cerro Rayas projects occur within Peru’s prolifically mineralised central Miocene Porphyry-Skarn Metallogenic Belt 
(Miocene Porphyry Belt). The Miocene Porphyry Belt, and subset, the Chonta Fault System, host numerous economic deposits, some 
of which are mega-sized mines, owned and operated by the major mining houses of the world. The region is particularly prospective 
for porphyry and porphyry-related mineralisation, which includes skarn mineralisation and carbonate replacement mineralisation.

Figure  1  (Above):  Regional  plan  showing  the  location  of  the  Greater  Riqueza  and  Cerro  Rayas  projects.  The  Miocene  Porphyry-Skarn  Mineral  Belt, 
structural elements of which are highlighted as solid yellow lines, trends northwest-southeast.  The plan also shows the location of nearby mines, plants 
and prospects belonging to BHP and Anglo American. The cross section indicated in Figure 1 (white bold line) is presented as Figure 2.

of the Miocene Porphyry Belt.

Through the broader framework of the Miocene Porphyry Belt, Riqueza and Cerro Rayas are believed to be similar. Commonality is 
established through the persistence of a NW-SE and SW-NE mineralising network of structures. Both projects are traversed by basin-
control (or growth) faults and later stage wrench faults which are well-known to control mineralisation along the belt and within the 
project areas. 

Figure 2 (Above): A schematic regional cross section showing the similarity between Riqueza and Cerro Rayas with regard to basin-controlling faults. 
Basin-controlling faults are important structures in the creation of sedimentary basins. The Cretaceous-aged limestone sequence (blue), which occurs 
at Riqueza, overlies the Jurassic-aged limestone sequence (green), which occurs at Cerro Rayas. During regional basin compression, the structures are 
reversed (black arrows) and act as wrench faults. It is often during compression that intrusive stocks are emplaced and mineralisation develops.

Exploration Highlights (Continued)

Large Companies are Searching for Porphyries and Skarns 

Companies that are very near neighbours to Riqueza and Cerro Rayas include: BHP with their Kenita Project, immediately northwest 
of Riqueza; Anglo American with a project south of Riqueza; and Milpo Andina with a project immediately northwest of Cerro Rayas. 
Regarding BHP’s Kenita Project, the area is shared with Canadian explorer, Lara Exploration, who describes porphyry-related carbonate 
replacement mineralisation on their Puituco property. Anglo American’s ground hosts a known porphyry.

Figure 3 (Above): Lara’s NE-SW schematic cross section (June 2018 release) of their Puituco Project located immediately northwest of Riqueza. Including 
two  manto  horizons,  the  section  shows  skarn  mineralisation  and  a  possible  related  porphyry  at  depth.  The  porphyry  is  believed  to  be  “driving  
the system”.

Figure 4 (Above): Inca’s NE-SW schematic cross section showing the geological and structural configuration of various mineralised prospects of Riqueza. 
Puituco and Humaspunco share a considerable number of traits, including but not limited to, the interweaving fabric of limestone-hosted veins and 
mantos. Both models relate known Zn-Ag-Pb mineralisation to intrusive stock.

The presence of several major mining house in the very near vicinity is indicative of the strongly prospective nature of the area. Anglo 
American has a mineralised Cu-Au porphyry south of Riqueza. BHP/Lara have porphyry related mineralisation west of Riqueza. Milpo 
has ground north of Cerro Rayas. Inca is very well placed to take further advantage of this with its large landholding, approaching 
10,000 hectares, shared between Riqueza and Cerro Rayas.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

Riqueza Project

The  Company  believes  it  has  identified  a  very  large  intrusive-related  mineralised  system  at  Riqueza  and  comprising  Zn-Ag-Pb 
replacement mineralisation at the Humaspunco and Pinta prospects, epithermal Au-Ag-Cu-Mn±Zn±Pb at the Uchpanga, Colina Roja 
and  Alteration  Ridge  prospects,  and  skarn  Cu  mineralisation  at  the  Pampa  Corral  Prospect.  These  different,  but  related  forms  of 
mineralisation cover an approximate area of 25 square kilometres making it, in the Company’s view, one of the largest exploration 
projects currently being evaluated in Peru. 

During 2017-2018 report period Riqueza evolved into a dual potential project. At one end of the spectrum, exploration conducted 
in the report period at the Humaspunco Prospect has identified significant Zn-Ag-Pb mineralisation along the Callancocha Structure 
that  may  develop  into  a  stand-alone  resource  appropriate  for  an  aspirant  junior  explorer.  At  the  other  end  of  the  spectrum,  the 
project-wide South32-funded geophysics program has identified several priority targets that are indicating the presence of very large 
porphyry and porphyry-skarn complexes suitable for major company investment and development.

Project-Wide Geophysics Produces Very Large Porphyry and Porphyry-Skarn Targets

A project-wide airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysics survey (AMAGRAD) was conducted during the report period. Funded by 
South32, interim geophysics interpretations received to date define at least three large porphyry-skarn targets:

•  Porphyry and porphyry-skarn Tayapampa target ±2.0km x 1.25km in size

•  Porphyry Palcacandha target ±2.75km x 1.75km in size

•  Porphyry and porphyry-skarn Yanacollpa target ±2.5km x 1.5km in size

These very large targets comprise multiple coincident magnetic and radiometric anomalies that in effect are target centres that have 
a size and configuration characteristic of the geophysical expression of porphyry and porphyry-skarn deposits.

The Tayapampa geophysics target-centre is located in the SW corner of the Riqueza Project area and is approximately 2.0km x 1.25km 
in area (Figure 5). It is bounded by NW-SE trending structures believed to be associated with the Chonta Fault System. A large coincident 
radiometric anomaly indicates that the area has undergone widespread rock alteration. Based on regional geological interpretations, 
that indicate Jumasha Formation limestone may occur at depth in this area, in addition to Tayapampa being prospective for porphyry, 
it is also prospective for skarn. The Palcacandha geophysics target-centre is located in the S-central part of Riqueza, east of Alteration 
Ridge, and is approximately 2.75km x 1.75km in area (Figure 6). Similar to the Tayapampa geophysics target-centre, Palcacandha is 
bounded by NW-SE trending structures and has a coincident radiometric anomaly. It is currently the largest target at Riqueza.

The Yanacollpa geophysics target-centre is located in the NE part of Riqueza and is approximately ±2.5km x 1.5km in size (Figure 7). 
Jumasha Formation limestone is the predominant lithology at Yanacollpa and, as such, is prospective for porphyry and skarn.

Riqueza Project (Continued)

Callancocha Structure Zone at Humaspunco

In pursuit of the second part of the dual potential of Riqueza, the Company focussed exploration along the Callancocha Structure 
Zone  at  Humaspunco.  A  particular  area,  called  Rastrillo,  stood  out  as  hosting  significant  Zn-Ag-Pb  mineralisation.  Comprising  an 
interconnected  network  of  veins,  mantos,  breccias  and  stockworks,  Rastrillo  occurs  at  the  intersection  of  the  SW-NE-trending 
Callancocha Structure and a number of NW-SE-trending veins (HV-01, HV-02, Hv-21, etc.). Tonnage potential is achieved through the 
occurrence of broad zones of stockwork which are believed to have developed in response to fault movement. Repeats of Rastrillo-like 
occurrences are strongly indicated north and south of Rastrillo.

Figure  8  (Above):  Plans  showing  the  location  of  the  Rastrillo  deposit  (within  the  yellow  polygon)  in  relation  to  the  Callancocha  Structure 
Zone  at    Humaspunco.  R=  Rastrillo,  RN  =  Rastrillo  North,  RS  =  Rastrillo  South.  NW  and  SE  extensions  of  the  Rastrillo  deposit  are  indicated

Riqueza Project (Continued)

Callancocha Structure Zone at Humaspunco (Continued)

Batch 11 is highlighted in this report as it perhaps best illustrates the style and configuration of mineralisation occurring at Rastrillo. 
Trenches 3, 4 and 5 indicate greater than 10-metre wide zones of Zn, Ag and Pb mineralisation which are, in most cases, open-ended 
(beyond  the  limit  of  sampling).  The  sweeping  nature  of  the  tension  gashes  and  stockwork  also  illustrates  the  interaction  between 
southwest-northeast and northwest-southeast structures. It is the southwest-northeast trending Callancocha Structure that is possibly 
the most important in terms of exploration potential with extensions of mineralisation along it, Rastrillo North and Rastrillo South, 
already identified.

Riqueza Project (Continued)

Epithermal Gold-Silver Identified at Colina Roja

The  Colina  Roja  Prospect  in  the  southern  third  of  Riqueza  was  discovered  in  the  previous  report  period.  A  new  mineralised  vein 
containing 3.75% Zn, 136g/t Ag and 3.13% Pb and several other new mineralised veins/stockwork zones provided the impetus for 
further work in 2017-2018. Such follow-up work subsequently resulted in the recognition of three NE-SW trending mineralised trends 
at Colina Roja. The first trend comprises the new vein with 6.5g/t Au and 194g/t Ag. The second comprises the previously discovered 
high grade Zn-Ag-Pb vein and the 8m wide vein and stockwork zone hosting >0.1g/t Au. The third mineralised corridor comprises veins 
and stockwork zones hosting >0.6g/t Au and 57g/t Ag and is believed a SW extension of the Callancocha Structure (which traverses 
Humaspunco and hosts Rastrillo).

Figure 11 (Above): Satellite image showing sample locations and mineralised trends at Colina Roja. A number of mineral trends appear to cross the 
Colina Roja area including the Callancocha Structure Zone and two sub-parallel structures containing very significant mineralisation. 

Figure 12 (Above Left): Sample contains 6.52g/t Au and 194g/t Ag; (Above Middle): Gossanous volcanic containing 3.75% Zn, 136g/t Ag and 3.13% Pb.  
(Above Right): Copper encrusted volcanic containing 0.61% Cu.

It is felt that Colina Roja (as well as the Uchpanga and Alteration Ridge Prospects) represent Au-bearing epithermal mineralisation of 
a possible porphyry system, either related to the known Pampa Corral intrusive suite or to another intrusive system perhaps related 
to the very large porphyry geophysics target to the south.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

Riqueza Project (Continued)

Phase 1 Drilling Completed at Riqueza

Phase  1  drilling  was  completed  at  Riqueza  during  the  report  period.  A  total  of  23  holes  were  drilled  for  a  total  of  3,725.8  metres. 
The average hole depth was 118.5m. Fifteen holes were drilled at Humaspunco East, two were drilled at Humaspunco South, one at 
Humaspunco West and five at Uchpanga. Twelve drill platforms were used in total.

The principal targets were the EW-trending mineralised veins at Humaspunco East, the manto sequence at Humaspunco South and 
West and the gold occurrence at Uchpanga. The vast majority of targets were identified in drilling. The mineralised intervals were 
characteristically highly weathered with strong Fe-oxide and gossan development. Zn typically occurs as smithsonite (zinc carbonate) 
with sphalerite (Zn-sulphide), common in outcrop, but uncommon in drill core. Pb typically occurs as relic aggregates and/or rims of 
galena (Pb-sulphide). The gangue material is calcite and barite. With some notable exceptions, the Zn, Ag and Pb grades of the veins 
in drilling were below the grades achieved (for the same targets) in grab and channel-sampling.

The most encouraging intersections included several manto intersections at Humaspunco East, West and South. The first and only 
hole at Humaspunco West (RDDH-021) intersected strong manto mineralisation including:

•  7.40% Zn, 99.1g/t Ag and 1.44% Pb over 1.5m (down hole) from 3.0m, within

•  4.31% Zn, 81.2g/t Ag and 1.21% Pb over 3.0m (down hole) from 3.0m, within

•  2.75% Zn, 32.5g/t Ag and 0.74% Pb over 6.5m (down hole) from surface.

Other significant manto intersections in drilling include:

•  4.97% Zn, 119.6g/t Ag, 3.06% Pb over 1.3m (down hole) in RDDH-013, and

•  3.85% Zn, 76.7g/t Ag, 4.03% Pb over 2.3m (true thickness) in RDDH-014.

Following  completion  of  the  first  phase  of  drilling,  and  with  the  onset  of  discussions  with  South32  about  Riqueza,  the  Company 
decided to pause drilling to preserve drill platforms and meterage for possible use during a later phase of exploration. 

Cerro Rayas

On the basis of very encouraging first-pass exploration involving detailed mapping and sampling of old mine workings and broad-scale 
reconnaissance mapping and sampling, the Company applied for eight additional concessions at Cero Rayas. At the time of writing the 
eight applications are pending. Once granted, Cerro Rayas will have an area of 3,000 hectares, an increase from 400 hectares.

Very Strong Mineralisation Associated with Mine Workings 

The Company completed a detailed mapping and sampling program of then currently known artisanal mines, Vilcapuquio, Torrepata 
and Wari. The results of 78 samples are exceptionally strong with multiple plus-50% combined Zn + Pb assay values being recorded. 
The top-10 Zn results are all >30% and average 36.89%. The top-10 Pb results are all >20% and average 28.07%.

The Company recognised that Vilcapuquio, Torrepata and Wari are aligned along a NW-SW trend. Further regional studies identified a 
pervasive NW-SE structural fabric. Additional analysis led to the recognition of similarities with Riqueza. Such similarities are discussed 
above, suffice to say, Cerro Rayas is shaping up to be another Riqueza.

directly  to  the  Board  as  to  the  proper  functioning  of  the 
Board. 

NA  The  Company  has  disclosed  its  Diversity  Policy  on  its 
website  at  www.incaminerals.com.au.    The  Company’s 
Diversity  Policy  does  not  mandate  setting  measurable 
objectives for achieving gender diversity as it is impractical 
to do so at this time.  The proportion of women across the 
whole organisation, in senior executive positions, and on 
the Board, as at the date of this statement, is as follows:

(b) Disclose that policy or a summary of it; and

•  Whole organisation – 29%

(c)  Disclose  as  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period  the 
measurable  objectives  for  achieving  gender  diversity  set 
by the Board (or relevant Board committee) in accordance 
with the entity’s diversity policy and its progress towards 
achieving them, and either:

[1] the respective proportions of men and women on the 
Board,  in  senior  management  positions  and  across  the 
whole organisation (including how the entity has defined 
“senior executive” for these purposes) or 

[2]  if  the  entity  is  a  “relevant  employer”  under  the 
Workplace  Gender  Equality  Act,  the  entity’s  most  recent 
“Gender Equality Indicators” as defined under that Act.

•  Senior Executive Positions – 43%

•  Board – 0%

          For  the  purposes  of  this  statement  and  the  Company’s  
gender  diversity,  “senior  executive”  means  a  person  who 
reports directly to the Board or Managing Director and/or 
who makes or participates in making decisions that could 
significantly affect the Company’s operations.

to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities 
effectively.

The  Company  has  a  small  Board  consisting  of  three 
Directors  inclusive  of  the  Managing  Director.    The  Board

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting

4.1  Listed entities should:

A 

(a)  Have an audit committee which:

(1) Has at least three members, all of whom are non-
executive  directors  and  a  majority  of  whom  are 
independent directors; and

(2) Is chaired by an independent director, who is not 

the chair of the Board, and disclose:

(3) The charter of the committee;

(4) The  relevant  qualifications  and  experience  of  the 

members of the committee; and

(5) In  relation  to  each  reporting  period,  the  number 
of times the committee met throughout the period 
and the individual attendances of the members at 
those meetings; or

If it does not have an audit committee, disclose that 
fact  and  the  processes  employed  to  independently 
verify  and  safeguard  the  integrity  of  its  corporate 
reporting, including the processes for the appointment 
and removal of the external auditor and the rotation 
of the audit engagement partner.

(b) 

A  

4.2  The Board of a listed entity should, before it approves the 
entity’s financial statements for a financial period, receive 
from its CEO and CFO a declaration that, in their opinion, 
the  financial  records  of  the  entity  have  been  properly 
maintained and that the financial statements comply with 
the  appropriate  accounting  standards  and  give  a  true 
and fair view of the financial position and performance of 
the  entity  and  that  the  opinion  has  been  formed  on  the 
basis of a sound system of risk management and internal 
control which is operating effectively.

The Company has a small Board consisting of two Directors 
and the Managing Director.  At this stage, the Company has 
not established an Audit Committee and the Board prefers 
to  use  the  full  complement  of  knowledge,  expertise  and 
experience of all Directors in making decisions regarding 
the Company’s audit and the Company’s external auditors.  
All  three  Directors  are  financially  literate.    One  Director 
has previously worked as an external auditor, holds three 
tertiary  qualifications  in  accounting/auditing  including 
a PhD and is a Fellow of CPA Australia.  On behalf of the 
Board, this Director communicates directly and works with 
the Company’s auditors during the half-year and full year 
audits. This Director chairs the Company’s Board meetings 
and deliberations on matters which could be delegated to 
an Audit Committee and reports through to the Board on 
all matters pertaining to the half-year and full-year external 
audits.    In  June  2012  the  Company  engaged  its  current 
accountant  –  a  person  with  considerable  experience 
as  both  an  external  auditor  and  group  accountant  in 
mineral  exploration  companies.  The  Company’s  external 
auditors were appointed in November 2012.  Prior to their 
appointment the Board obtained proposals from reputable 
audit firms and appointed the Company’s current auditor 
after  considering  their  experience  with  listed  exploration 
companies operating in foreign and domestic jurisdictions, 
the experience and quality of personnel involved with the 
Company’s  audit,  their  internal  quality  control  measures, 
their approach and methodology in conducting the audit, 
references,  and  awareness  of  professional  requirements 
within  accounting  and  auditing  standards 
including 
those  pertaining  to  independence,  confidentiality  and 
conflicts of interest.  The Board and the Company’s auditor 
addressed rotation of the audit engagement partner in the  
Reporting Period.

Prior  to  approving  the  financial  statements  for  the  half-
year  ended  31  December  2017  and  the  full  year  ended 
30  June  2018  Inca’s  Board  received  from  the  Managing 
Director  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  declarations  that,  in 
their opinion, the financial records of the entity have been 
properly  maintained  and  that  the  financial  statements 
comply  with  the  appropriate  accounting  standards  and 
give  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  financial  position  and 
performance of the entity and that the opinion has been 
formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management 
and internal control which is operating effectively.

4.3  Listed  entities  should  ensure  that  its  external  auditor 
attends its AGM and is available to answer questions from 
security holders relevant to the audit.

A   During  the  Reporting  Period  and  prior  to  the  Company’s 
AGM  the  Company  contacted  its  external  auditors  who 
agreed  to  host  the  Company’s  AGM  in  their  offices  and 
attend the AGM.  In accordance with section 250S of the 
Corporations  Act  the  external  auditor  attended  the  AGM 
and  the  Chair  expressly  provided  the  opportunity  for 
shareholders  attending  the  meeting  to  ask  questions 
relevant  to  the  audit.    Had  there  been  any  written 
questions submitted to the auditor (there were none) the 
Chair  would  also  have  ensured  the  opportunity  for  the 
external  auditor  to  answer  questions  as  required  under 
section 250PA of the Corporations Act.

During  the  report  period,  the  Company’s  payments  to  suppliers  and  employees  combined  with  payments  for  exploration  totalled 
$4.217 million, of which $3.552 million (84.23%) represents cash outflows on exploration, and $0.665 million (15.77%) represents cash 
outflows on administrative staff and administration.  As in previous years, these figures highlight the Company’s continued focus on 
investing shareholder funds in exploration on the Company’s projects while minimising administrative costs.

During the report period, the Company explored and evaluated its Peruvian projects whilst seeking the participation and partnership 
of  one  of  the  world’s  largest  mining  houses  at  its  flagship  project,  Greater  Riqueza.  The  report  period  may  correctly  be  perceived 
as an “exploration re-set” – a phase of significant discovery, commensurate up-scaling and capacity building ahead of a sustained 
exploration campaign at Greater Riqueza and the Company’s second project, Cerro Rayas.

Very significant developments were achieved during the report period at the Company’s Greater Riqueza zinc-silver-lead (Zn-Ag-Pb) 
Project. These include:

•  Completion  of  the  South32-funded  geophysics  survey  and  generation  of  multiple  geophysics  targets  including  several  very 

large porphyry and porphyry-skarn targets. 

• 

South32’s decision to exercise its option to negotiate into an earn-in agreement (executed in August 2018).

•  Discovery of Au, Ag, Zn and Pb veins and stockworks at the new Colina Roja Prospect.

•  Discovery of the Rastrillo Zn, Ag, Pb deposit along the Callancocha Structure at the Humaspunco Prospect.

•  Completion of Phase One drilling, mostly completed at the Humaspunco Prospect.

Equally significant and encouraging developments were also achieved at the Company’s Cerro Rayas Zn-Ag-Pb Project. These include:

• 

Identification  of  very  strong  Zn-Ag-Pb  mineralisation  in  all  of  the  three  mine  workings  located  within  the  project  area, 
Vilcapuquio, Torrepata and Wari.

•  Applications for new concessions to cover multiple new mining workings and mineralised outcrops discovered in the area and 

increase the scale and potential of the project.

Recognising  the  increased  prospectivity  of  its  two  projects  the  Company  took  a  number  of  measures  to  build  capacity  during  the 
report period.  In March 2018, the Company announced the establishment of a Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) which provides the 
Board with advice and recommendations concerning: 

• 

• 

• 

The economic potential and future development of Inca’s current projects; 

Exploration results and implications for future exploration/development at Inca’s current projects; and

The economic potential of new projects Inca may consider acquiring in future.

The TAP has already made a number of significant and important contributions since its establishment particularly in the context of 
the South32 partnership at Greater Riqueza and also with respect to assessment of potential new projects. A rights issue and three 
controlled placements were completed during the report period raising the Company $1.621 million (before associated raising costs).  
The  Company  constructed  an  exploration  camp  at  Cerro  Rayas  and  added  camp  capacity  at  Greater  Riqueza.  The  Company  held 
discussions with its valued communities, who continue to support our activities at both projects.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for directors and executives of the Company.

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Inca Minerals Limited aligns director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives 
by  providing  a  fixed  remuneration  component  and,  where  the  Board  believes  it  appropriate,  may  also  include  specific  long-term 
incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Company’s ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to 
run and manage the Company.

The remuneration policy setting out the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives was developed 
by  the  Board.    All  executives  receive  a  base  salary  (which  is  based  on  factors  such  as  ability  and  experience).  The  Board  reviews 
executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, executive performance, and comparable information 
from  industry  sectors  and  other  listed  companies  in  similar  industries.    The  performance  of  the  executive  directors  is  measured 
against the objective of promoting growth in shareholder value.

The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses, and options.  The policy is designed to attract the 
highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. Executives 
may, where the Board believes it appropriate, participate in employee share and option arrangements.

The Board policy is to remunerate directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities.  
The  Board  determines  payments  to  directors  and  regularly  reviews  their  remuneration  based  on  market  practice,  duties  and 
accountability.  Independent external advice is sought when required. No external advice was sought during the report period.  The 
maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders in a general 
meeting (currently $240,000 per annum).

Performance Based Remuneration

There was nil performance-based remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2018.

Inca Minerals • Annual Report 2018FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report covers the Company of Inca Minerals Limited, a listed public company incorporated and domiciled in Australia, 
and its controlled entities.

The financial report was authorised for issue on 28th September 2018 by the Board of Directors.

Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, 
Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and 
the Corporations Act 2001. 

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing 
relevant  and  reliable  information  about  transactions,  events  and  conditions.  Compliance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards 
ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

In  the  year  ended  30  June  2018,  the  Company  has  reviewed  all  of  the  new  and  revised  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.  It has been 
determined by the Company that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new Standards and Interpretations on its business 
and therefore, no changes are required to its accounting policies.  Material accounting policies adopted in preparation of this financial 
report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  an  accruals  basis  and  is  based  on  historical  costs,  modified,  where  applicable,  by  the 
measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities 
and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. 

For the year ended 30 June 2018, the Group incurred after tax losses of $1,272,175 (2017: loss of $1,354,138) and the Group had net 
cash outflows of $2,371,540 (2017: net cash outflows of $2,980,475). 

The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Company and Group will continue as a going concern and that it is 
appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after consideration of the following factors: 

• 

•

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

a)  Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent, Inca Minerals Limited and all 
of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. A list 
of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 20.

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date 
on  which  control  is  obtained  by  the  Group.  The  consolidation  of  a  subsidiary  is  discontinued  from  the  date  that  control  ceases. 
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on 
consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of 
the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Equity  interests  in  a  subsidiary  not  attributable,  directly  or  indirectly,  to  the  Group  are  presented  as  “non-controlling  interests”. 
The  Group  initially  recognises  non-controlling  interests  that  are  present  ownership  interests  in  subsidiaries  and  are  entitled  to  a 
proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate 
share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or 
loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section 
of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.

b)  Revenue Recognition

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

c) 

Income Tax

The  income  tax  expense  /  (benefit)  charged  to  the  profit  of  loss  is  the  tax  payable  on  taxable  income  calculated  using  applicable 
income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the 
amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as 
unused tax losses.

Current  and  deferred  income  tax  expense  (benefit)  is  charged  or  credited  directly  to  equity  instead  of  profit  or  loss  when  the  tax 
related to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities 
and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but 
future  tax  deductions  are  available.  No  deferred  income  tax  will  be  recognised  from  the  initial  recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability, 
excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the 
liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner 
in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. 

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that 
future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not 
probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a largely enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement 
or  simultaneous  realisation  and  settlement  of  the  respective  asset  and  liability  will  occur.  Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are 
offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities related to income taxes levied by the 
same  taxation  authority  on  either  the  same  taxable  entity  or  different  taxable  entities  where  it  is  intended that  net  settlement  or 
simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts 
of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

d)  Mining Tenements and Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Mining tenements are carried at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest.  These 
costs  are  only  carried  forward  to  the  extent  that  they  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  the  successful  development  and/or 
sale of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of 
economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to 
abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according 
to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

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.

Costs of site restoration are provided for over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs 
of that stage.  Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste 
removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits.  Such costs are determined using estimates 
of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted for on a prospective basis.  In determining the costs of site restoration, there 
is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation.  Accordingly, 
the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site. 

e)   Financial Instruments

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes 
established by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value 
through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit 
or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another 
party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated  with the asset. 
Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between 
the  carrying  value  of  the  financial  liability  extinguished  or  transferred  to  another  party  and  the  fair  value  of  consideration  paid, 
including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

i. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit 
taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designed as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable 
performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance 
with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair 
value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

ii. 

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market 
and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

e)   Financial Instruments (Continued)

iii.  Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and 
it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest rate method.

iv.  Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any 
of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or 
determinable payments.

v. 

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method.

Fair value

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the 
requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to 
pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (ie unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants 
at the measurement date.

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. 
Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of 
assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation 
techniques  maximise,  to  the  extent  possible,  the  use  of  observable  market  data.  To  the  extent  possible,  market  information  is 
extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (ie the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the 
asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting 
period (ie the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, 
after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its highest 
and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The fair value of liabilities 
and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there 
is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information 
where  such  instruments  are  held  as  assets.  Where  this  information  is  not  available,  other  valuation  techniques  are  adopted  and, 
where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.

Valuation Techniques

In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation techniques to 
measure the fair value of the asset or liability. The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and 
for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the 
specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one 
or more of the following valuation approaches:

•  Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for 

identical or similar assets or liabilities.

• 

Income  approach:  valuation  techniques  that  convert  estimated  future  cash  flows  or  income  and  expenses  into  a  single 
discounted present value.

•  Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.

Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or 
liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those techniques that 
maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data 
(such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use 
when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are 
developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

e)   Financial Instruments (Continued)

Fair Value Hierarchy

AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements 
into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into 
as follows:

Level 1

Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the 
measurement date.

Level 2

Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
or indirectly.

Level 3

Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. 
These  valuation  techniques  maximise,  to  the  extent  possible,  the  use  of  observable  market  data.  If  all  significant  inputs  required 
to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on 
observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.

The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances:

(i)    if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or

(ii)   if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa.

When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (ie transfers into 
and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred.

f) 

Impairment of Assets 

At each reporting date, the entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any 
indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher 
of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying 
value over its recoverable amount is expensed to profit or loss. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash 
flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. 

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced 
to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair 
value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the 
carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased 
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for 
the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried 
at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

g)  Plant and Equipment 

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying 
amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or 
loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset.  

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount 
from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s 
employment  and  subsequent  disposal.  The  expected  net  cash  flows  have  been  discounted  to  their  present  values  in  determining 
recoverable amounts.

Subsequent  costs  are  included  in  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  or  recognised  as  a  separate  asset,  as  appropriate,  only  when  it  is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured 
reliably.  All  other  repairs  and  maintenance  are  charged  to  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income  during  the  financial  period  in 
which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Company commencing 
from the time the asset is held ready for use.   The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of fixed asset 

Plant and equipment 

10–33%

Motor vehicles  

IT equipment 

20–33%

10-33%

Leasehold improvements 

20%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.  

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.

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

h)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.

i)  Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable 
from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part 
of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are 
presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which 
are disclosed as operating cash flows.

j)  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,  net  of  tax,  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 the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

k)   Earnings per Share

(i)     Basic earnings per share

Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing the  profit  attributable  to  equity  holders  of  the  Company,  excluding any  costs  of 
servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

(ii)    Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts 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.

l) 

Leases

Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership 
that are transferred to the economic entity, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased 
property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated 
between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Lease payments 
for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in 
which they are incurred.

m)  Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date. 
Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the 
liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of 
the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

n)  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, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, 
has been identified as the Board of Directors. 

o)  Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of 
business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All 
other receivables are classified as non-current assets. 

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less any provision for impairment.

p)  Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid at the end of the 
reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the 
liability.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

q)  Foreign Currency Transactions Balances 

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which 
that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the parent entity’s functional 
currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 
Foreign  currency  monetary  items  are  translated  at  the  year-end  exchange  rate.  Non-monetary  items  measured  at  historical  cost 
continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at 
the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as 
a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the 
extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised 
in profit or loss.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations, whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency, 
are translated as follows:

• 

• 

• 

assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; 

income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange  differences  arising  on  translation  of  foreign  operations  with  functional  currencies  other  than  Australian  dollars  are 
recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  and  included  in  the  foreign  currency  translation  reserve  in  the  statement  of  financial 
position. These differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of.

r)  Critical Accounting Estimates and Other Accounting Judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations 
of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

The  Company  is  of  the  view  that  there  are  no  critical  accounting  estimates  and  judgements  in  this  financial  report,  other  than 
accounting estimates and judgements in relation to the carrying value of mineral exploration expenditure.

Key judgements

Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current.  These costs are carried 
forward in respect of an area that has not at reporting date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of 
economically recoverable reserves, or alternatively, are expected to be sold. Refer to the accounting policy stated in Note 1(d).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

s)  New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Standards issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group, together with an assessment of the 
potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future periods, are discussed below: 

•  AASB 9: Financial Instruments and Associated Amending Standards (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing 1 

January 2018).

The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting outlined below) and includes 
revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition 
requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting. 

The key changes that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the classification of financial 
assets,  simplifications  to  the  accounting  of  embedded  derivatives,  upfront  accounting  for  expected  credit  loss,  and  the 
irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other 
comprehensive income. AASB 9 also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility in the ability 
to hedge risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items. Should the entity elect to change its hedge policies 
in  line  with  the  new  hedge  accounting  requirements  of  the  Standard,  the  application  of  such  accounting  would  be  largely 
prospective.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 will not have a material impact on the Group’s financial instruments.

•  AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 

2018).

When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, principles-
based model. Apart from a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 will apply to all 
contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales 
to customers and potential customers.

The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services 
to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods 
or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following five-step process:

•  identify the contract(s) with a customer;

•  identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);

•  determine the transaction price;

•  allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and

•  recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.

This Standard will require retrospective restatement, as well as enhanced disclosures regarding revenue.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 will not have a material impact on the Group’s revenue recognition and 
disclosures.

•  AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019).

When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: Leases and 
related interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be 
classified as either operating leases or finance leases. Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice.

The main changes introduced by the new Standard are as follows:

•  recognition of the right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short term leases with less than 12 months of 

tenure and leases relating to low value assets);

•  depreciating the right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss and unwinding 

of the liability in principal and interest components;

•  inclusion of variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate in the initial measurement of the lease liability 

using the index or rate at the commencement date;

•  application of a practical expedient to permit a lessee to elect not to separate non-lease components and instead account 

for all components as a lease; and

•  additional disclosure requirements.

The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lease to either retrospectively apply the Standard to comparatives in line with AASB 108 
or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity at the date of initial application. 

The  directors  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of  AASB  16  will  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Group’s  recognition  of  leases  and 
disclosures.

market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities as set 
out below:

(a)      Interest rate sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2018, if interest rates had changed by 25 basis points during the entire year with all other variables held constant, profit 
for the year and equity would have been $4,900 higher/lower (2017: $4,103), mainly as a result of higher/lower interest income from 
cash and cash equivalents.

A 25-basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents 
management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.

(b)  Credit risk 

The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date on financial assets of the Company is the carrying amount, net of any provisions 
for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

(c) 

Commodity price risk 

The Company is not exposed to commodity price risk as the operations of the Company are not yet at the production stage.

(d) 

Liquidity risk 

The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows.

The  table  below  analyses  the  entity’s  financial  liabilities  into  relevant  maturity  groupings  based  on  the  remaining  period  from  the 
statement  of  financial  position  date  to  the  contractual  maturity  date.  As  the  amounts  disclosed  in  the  table  are  the  contractual 
undiscounted cash flows, these balances will not necessarily agree with the amounts disclosed in the statement of financial position.
