Managing Director’s Summary

Welcome to Inca’s Annual Report (Report) for the year ended 30 June 2019. You will find our Annual Financial
Report, Directors’ Report, Directors’ Declaration, the Independent Auditor’s Report, Corporate Governance
Statement, various shareholder information and our tenement schedule. I have provided this summary so that you
may quickly understand the past year’s exploration activities, our results, our corporate well-being and perhaps
more importantly, the Company’s short, medium and long-term strategies.
In the past twelve months the Company has executed a Share Subscription and Earn-in Agreement (Agreement)
with South32 at our flagship Riqueza Project in Peru. The emphasis of exploration (what Inca/South32 is looking
for) has shifted from small-medium sized silver-lead-zinc deposits to large-scale copper-zinc porphyry deposits.
With an exploration “stand-still” prior to the execution of the Agreement, subsequent South32-funded exploration
has focused on generating drill targets. As 2019-2020 opens, this work is still ongoing but with many quality targets
already identified.
Closer to home, in the year ended 30 June 2019, Inca has acquired three
new exciting projects in Queensland and the Northern Territory. These
include the Frewena Fable IOCG Project (Frewena), the Lorna May IOCG
Project (Lorna May) and the MaCauley Creek Gold-Copper Porphyry
Project (MaCauley Creek). These were acquired because they are highly
prospective for large-scale mineral deposits. Large-scale means greater
than 200 million tonnes, which we call Tier-1. Frewena and Lorna May are

prospective for Olympic Dam style mineralisation, that
MaCauley Creek is prospective for Cadia Ridgeway style mineralisation,
that is: porphyries. Whilst work hasn’t begun at the former two, recent
work at MaCauley Creek has confirmed multiple occurrences of strongly
mineralised granite. A very good sign.
Searching “outside the box”, we have applied for ground in East Timor.
With early-mover advantage we have acquired several known occurrences
of mineralisation. The Ossu Project, for example, hosts 10g/t gold and
multiple ounce silver in outcrop. We have also acquired a vanadium
project in a vanadium precinct of central Queensland.
These developments herald our short-term, medium-term and long-term
strategies. The short-term strategy is to acquire projects that attract
partnerships with major mining houses. This is to access large exploration
budgets (whilst preserving our cash) and exploration know-how. This strategy is fully in play. The medium-term
strategy is to sustain exploration in the pursuit of a Tier-1 deposits through joint project evaluation, acquisition and
turn-over, maintaining high levels of news flow and upward share price pressure. The long-term strategy is to
achieve significant free-carry positions in several economic deposits shared with the world’s leading mining houses.

The Board has considered these risks in relation to a
“material exposure threshold”, as required under the

tolerable levels and, as defined in CPGR, there does not
appear to be “a real possibility that the risk could
substantively impact the Company’s ability to create or
preserve value for security holders …” in the foreseeable
future.
A Given the size and composition of the current Board it
believes that no efficiencies are to be gained by
establishing a separate Remuneration Committee. During
the Reporting Period the Board followed the Company’s
Remuneration Policy as disclosed in the Director’s Report

Managing Director’s Annual Review
10
Twelve months ago, I referred to 2017/2018 as a period of “exploration re-set”. This year, I would like to refer to 2018/2019 (the
Report Period), as a period of “transformation”. The much anticipated farm-in/joint venture agreement (EIJVA) was executed
with South32 Limited (South32) involving our flagship project, Riqueza, located in Peru; and, as part of a deliberate strategy of
repeating the partnership path, we have acquired three exploration projects in Australia that are considered highly prospective
for large-scale (Tier-1) IOCG and porphyry mineral systems; and we have altered the board and increased our technical expertise
to translate exploration activities to shareholder wealth.
From “going alone” in the pursuit of small-scale mineralisation, we are now partners with South32 in the pursuit of Tier-1
porphyry and skarn mineralisation at Riqueza. From focussing solely on Peru, we have now broadened our exploration footprint
to include the highly prospective areas of the Northern Territory and north east Queensland, and we are now among the first
movers in East Timor. From copper-zinc focussed we have now broadened our focus to include gold-copper whilst increasing
our exposure to other base metals, battery and food security commodities.
The Report Period represents a period of measured and coordinated transformation associated with the company’s exploration
strategy of “finding, minding and combining projects”. Finding means generating or acquiring projects that have Tier-1
potential, particularly in the porphyry-IOCG space. Minding means incubating projects and implementing low-cost value-adding
exploration, to progress them to a point where they are potentially attractive to the major mining houses. Combining means
putting projects and partners together.
A significant aspect of this strategy is the material reduction of operating costs, administrative cost reduction measures,
including but not limited to salary sacrifices. Another aspect of the strategy is increased communication and transparency with
our own shareholders committing to “user-friendly” ASX announcements and conducting Q&A Shareholder Workshops.
The three far-reaching outcomes that exemplify the tremendous successes of the Report Period include:
•
•
•
The execution of the Inca-South32 EIJVA: South32 has the option to spend no less than US$9million to earn 60% of Riqueza
over a four-year period.
The acquisition of new projects with Tier-1 potential: These include the Frewena Fable IOCG Project, the Lorna May IOCG
Project and the MaCauley Creek Gold-Copper Porphyry Project;
The appointment of key new personnel to the board and upper management: Dr Jonathan West was appointed to the
board as a NED, and Mr Robert Heaslop was appointed as Regional Exploration Manager.
The strategy that was incubated in 2017-2018 is now fully in play. We have a track record of securing partnerships; we have the
track record of discoveries and have laid out three new exciting projects in Australia that have Tier-1 potential; and we have the
right personnel to execute the plan to the fullest extent, and in full view of our shareholders.
Finally, I would encourage all those interested, if you haven’t already done so, to visit our website or the ASX website to read
our company announcements of the Report Period. Our ASX code is ICG. Thank you.

ROSS BROWN B.Sc (Hons), M.Aus.IMM.
Managing Director
A geologist by profession, Mr Brown has over 30 years’ experience in mineral exploration in Australia, Asia, Africa and South
America and he has worked in a broad range of commodities, including gold, base metals, uranium, phosphate and diamonds.
Mr Brown has a rare ability in recognising the commercial potential of exploration projects and geological process, and has a
proven track record of bringing technical-based exploration concepts and projects to market.
In 2009 Mr Brown co-founded the gold/copper exploration company, Mystic Sands Pty Ltd, which was established for the
purposes of conducting exploration in Chile, South America. With the assistance of other technical management, Mr Brown was
responsible for the composition of the initial project portfolio. Mystic Sands was purchased by an Australian-listed explorer
White Star Minerals Ltd. As part of the transaction, Sandfire Resources NL became a shareholder of White Star Minerals Ltd.
Mr Brown turned his attention to Peru in 2009 and through his network of Peruvian-based businessmen and geologists assessed
the potential of more than a hundred projects. Mr Brown recognised the great potential of mineral discovery in that country
and has subsequently secured a number of projects for the Company including the Riqueza and Cerro Rayas zinc-silver-lead
projects which the Company is currently exploring and evaluating.
Mr Brown was the co-founder and Managing Director of Urcaguary Pty Ltd (Urcaguary), the Company’s fully owned subsidiary
(formerly called Inca Minerals Limited) and he became the Company’s Managing Director after its takeover of Urcaguary. As at
30 June 2019, and in addition to his position with the Company, Mr Brown remains a Director of Urcaguary and the Company’s
other subsidiary companies. In the previous 3 years, Mr Brown has not been a director of any other ASX listed companies.
Mr Brown has been a member of AusIMM since 1988, and is also a member of GSA, SEG and AICD.

Directors’ Report (continued)
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal Activities
13
The Company’s principal activities during the year were conducting exploration and evaluation work on existing and newly
acquired tenements. Inca’s main focus is the exploration of its Peruvian projects with objectives being to find, develop and/or
demonstrate the prospectivity of projects to potential partners. Inca will continue to seek opportunities for acquiring or farming
into new tenements, and to divest or joint venture where it benefits shareholders.
In addition to Peru, the Company has also acquired projects in the highly prospective areas of the Northern Territory and north
east Queensland, and has reviewed projects in East Timor with the possibility of acquiring a project in that region.
Operating Results
The Company’s operating loss after income tax for the report period was $1,879,854 (2018: loss of $1,272,175).
Principal Activities
The Company’s principal activities during the year were conducting exploration at our flagship Riqueza Project in Peru,
partnership negotiations with South32 regarding Riqueza, assessing new projects and acquiring new projects. Inca’s main focus
of the year was to initiate a strategy of project acquisition, exploration and evaluation, and partnership. The strategy is designed
to reduce operation costs, achieve partnerships over gold-copper focussed projects with Tier-1 potential and to have significant
free carry positions.
Review of Operations
The Company’s exploration activities, as well as other corporate activities of the year, were released to the Australian Securities
Exchange (ASX) throughout the year ended 30 June 2019 (report period). These ASX announcements should be accessed (The
Company’s ASX code is ICG) and read in conjunction with this annual report.
During the report period, the Company’s payments to suppliers and employees combined with payments for exploration and
payments for project acquisitions totalled $3.350 million, of which $2.485 million (74.18%) represents cash flows on exploration,
and $0.865 million (25.82%) represents cash outflows on administrative staff and administration. As in previous years, these
figures highlight the Company’s continued focus on the deployment of funds for exploration purposes to extract value through
mineral discovery at its projects. The value-proposition this year now also extends to developing partnerships for extant and
new projects alike.
The Company focussed on delivering the Inca-South32 Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement (EIJVA), for the Riqueza Project in
Peru, negotiations for which commenced in the previous annual report period. Prior to the execution of the EIJVA the Company
purposely reduced exploration activities at Riqueza in the knowledge that post-EIJVA activities would be solely funded by
South32. The Company also focussed on delivering additional projects selected on the basis that they would be attractive to
major mining houses and therefore enjoy a trajectory similar to Riqueza.
13
Directors’ Report (continued)
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Review of Operations (continued)
14
Very significant developments were achieved during the report period at Riqueza. These include:
•
The execution of the Inca-South32 EIJVA with principal terms and conditions being:
o A commitment of US$9 million for 60% of the project company, Brillandino Minerals S.A.C. (BMS)
o An option to acquire an additional 10% of BMS by funding a Prefeasibility Study (PFS)
o
Either a 60:40, 70:30 JV may be formed where Inca may be diluted to a Net Smelter Royalty if it elects not to fund
beyond the PFS
•
•
South32 funded exploration has recognised a Intermediate Sulphidation (IS) Epithermal Thermal mineral system at
Riqueza, centred in the south-central part of the project area, but which extends to include multiple known zones of
mineralisation including the Colina Roja gold-silver Prospect, the Uchpanga gold-silver-base metals Prospect, the new
Cuncayoc Copper copper-silver Prospect and the Humaspunco-Pinta silver-lead-zinc Prospect.
Post-report period developments include the identification of several very large magnetic bodies extending below surface
geophysics targets generated (and reported) during the previous year. One such 3D modelled magnetic body has the
dimension of 1,000m x 400m x 500m (or 200 million cubic metres).
Very significant developments were achieved during the report period in terms of new projects. These include:
•
•
•
•
•
The acquisition of the Frewena Fable IOCG Project in the Northern Territory (a post-report period acquisition). Frewena
Fable hosts a walk-up IOCG target that is over 5,000m (5kms) across. The target comprises coincident conductivity
anomalies, bornite-pyrite ASTER anomalies, magnetic, radiometric and geomorphological anomalies. The project is live.
The acquisition of the Lorna May IOCG Project in the Northern Territory. Lorna May hosts a walk-up IOCG target that is
7,000m (7kms) across. The target comprises coincident conductivity anomalies, magnetic and gravity anomalies. At the
time of writing the project is not granted.
The acquisition of the MaCauley Creek (Mac Creek) gold-copper-molybdenum Project in northeast Queensland. Mac Creek
hosts a walk-up porphyry target that is over 13,000m (13km) across. The target comprises coincident magnetic,
radiometric and geomorphological anomalies, as well as hosting mineralised granites and porphyry-related alteration. The
project is live.
The acquisition of a suite of projects in East Timor. The Company enjoys early-mover status in East Timor but at the time
of writing the projects are not granted. Commodities include gold, silver, copper, nickel, chromite, phosphate and
vanadium. All projects host walk-up mineralised targets. The Ossu Project hosts a potential gold-silver-copper-zinc volcanic
massive sulphide deposit and the Paatal Project hosts phosphate-bearing sediments.
The acquisition of the Toolebuc vanadium Project in central Queensland. It hosts a 7,000 (7km) strike length of Toolebuc
Formation sediments that are known to contain potentially economic vanadium mineralisation. Elsewhere in the vicinity,
the Toolebuc Formation hosts the fourth largest vanadium deposit in the world. The project is live.
During the report period the Company also built upon its technical capacity commensurate with the broadening project
portfolio. Dr Jonathan West was appointed as NED to the Board of Directors and Mr Rob Heaslop was appointed as Regional
Exploration Manager to manage the Australian portfolio.
14
Directors’ Report (continued)
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Review of Operations (continued)
15
The 2018-2019 report period represents a very significant year, a year of transformation for Inca and its shareholders. Pre-
empting the increasing fluctuating fortunes of the resource sector and volatility of the money markets, some time ago the
Company instigated a strategy of sustained exploration through partnerships to reduce operating costs while accessing
exploration know-how and large exploration treasuries. This strategy is now fully in play.
Financial Position
The net assets of the Group were $6,512,208 as at 30 June 2019 ($5,761,426 as at 30 June 2018).
Significant Changes in the State of Affairs
The Company raised capital of $2.4 million (before broker commissions and other costs of capital raising) during the report
period via the issue of 492,812,207 fully paid ordinary shares.
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.
Dividends Paid or Recommended
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend and no dividends have been paid or declared since the start of the
financial year.
Significant Events After Reporting Date
On 4 July 2019, the Company issued 8,750,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.005 per share, raising $43,750 (before associated
costs). Each share had a free attaching option issued on the basis of 1 option for every 1 share issued, exercisable at $0.012 on
or before 7 August 2020. This resulted in the issue of 8,750,000 options on the same date.
On 22 August 2019, the Company issued 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.00375 per share, raising $150,000 (before
associated costs).
No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly
affect the Company’s operations or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years.
Likely Developments and Expected Results
The Company expects to maintain the present status and level of operation and hence there are no likely unwarranted
developments in the entity’s operations.
Environmental Issues
The Company is subject to environmental regulation in respect of its exploration activities in Peru and Australia. The Company
ensures the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved and, in doing so, that it is aware of and is in compliance
with all environmental legislation. The directors of the Company are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for
the year.
Proceedings on Behalf of the Company
No person has applied for leave of the Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company 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 Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

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.
16
Directors’ Report (continued)
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)

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).

Notes To The Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
25
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 18th September 2019 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 2019, 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 Group has applied AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers for the first time this
reporting period. The amendments as a result of these standards did not have an impact on the amounts recognised in prior
periods, and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.
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 2019, the Group incurred after tax losses of $1,879,854 (2018: loss of $1,272,175) and the Group had net
cash inflows of $583,713 (2018: net cash outflows of $2,371,540).
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:
•
•
•
•
•
The Group has cash at bank at the reporting date of $1,377,481, a net working capital deficiency of $596,878 and net assets of
$6,512,208;
The Company completed capital raisings in July and August 2019 raising $193,750 (before broker commissions and other costs
of the capital raising) through the issue of 48,750,000 fully paid ordinary shares and 8,750,000 free attaching options;
The ability of the Group to raise capital by the issue of additional shares under the Corporation Act 2001;
Future funding provided for the Riqueza project by S32 under the Share Subscription and Earn-in Agreement; and
The ability to curtail administration, operational and investing cash outflows as required.
25
Notes To The Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies
26
The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in the financial statements. The
Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards applicable for annual reporting periods
beginning after 1 July 2018 but determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material.
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 21.
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
The Group has applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the cumulative effective method. The Director
have assessed that the adoption of AASB 15 does not have a significant impact on the Group as the Group does not have any
significant revenues from contracts with customers.
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.
26
Notes To The Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
c)
Income Tax (continued)
27
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.
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.
27
Notes To The Financial Statements

28
Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
d)
Mining Tenements and Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure (continued)
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
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the
financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.
A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction
price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where
applicable).
Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories:
•
•
•
amortised cost
fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
In the periods presented the corporation does not have any financial assets categorised as FVOCI.
The classification is determined by both:
•
•
the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs,
finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets

Notes To The Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
e)
Financial Instruments (continued)
29
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVTPL):
- they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows
- the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most
other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as listed bonds that were previously classified as held-
to-maturity under AASB 139.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are
categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash
flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into
this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements
apply.
The category also contains an equity investment. The Group accounts for the investment at FVTPL and did not make the
irrevocable election to account for the investment in unlisted and listed equity securities at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI). The fair value was determined in line with the requirements of AASB 9, which does not allow
for measurement at cost.
Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.
The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation
technique where no active market exists.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
The Group accounts for financial assets at FVOCI if the assets meet the following conditions:
•
•
they are held under a business model whose objective it is “hold to collect” the associated cash flows and sell and
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on
the principal amount outstanding.
Any gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) will be recycled upon derecognition of the asset.

Financial Instruments (continued)
Impairment of financial assets
30
AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the ‘expected
credit loss (ECL) model’. This replaced AASB 139’s ‘incurred loss model’.
Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at
amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments
and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Group first identifying a credit loss event. Instead the Group
considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past
events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows
of the instrument.
In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
•
financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low
credit risk (‘Level 1’) and
financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk
is not low (‘Level 2’).
•
‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for
the second category.
Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected
life of the financial instrument.
Trade and other receivables and contract assets
The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and
records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows,
considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group uses its
historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a
provision matrix.
The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics they
have been grouped based on the days past due.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments.
30
Notes To The Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
e)
Financial Instruments (continued)
31
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group
designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and
financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or
loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments).
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included
within finance costs or finance income.
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.
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.
31
Notes To The Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
g)
Plant and Equipment (continued)
32
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
Motor vehicles
IT equipment
Leasehold improvements
10–33%
20–33%
10-33%
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.
32
Notes To The Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
k)
Earnings per Share
(i) Basic earnings per share
33
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.
33

p)
Trade and Other Payables
34
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.
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
35
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).
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 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 Company has a lease over its office premises that, under the adoption of the new AASB 16, will result in a right of use asset
amounting to $70,204, and the corresponding lease liability of $70,204, on adoption.
The directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 will not have a material impact on the Group’s recognition of leases and
disclosures.

Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the

(b) Interest rate sensitivity analysis
At 30 June 2019, 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 $2,708 higher/lower (2018: $4,900), 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.
(c) 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.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
INCA MINERALS LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Inca Minerals Limited (the Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”),
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated
statement of cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act
2001, including:
(i)
giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; 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 are independent of the Group 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 (the Code) 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit
of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters.
Key Audit Matters
How the matter was addressed in the audit
Carrying Value of Capitalised Exploration and
Evaluation Expenditure
As at 30 June 2019, Capitalised Exploration and
Evaluation expenditure totals $6,871,149 (refer to
Note 1(d) and note 7 to the financial report).
The carrying value of Capitalised Exploration and
Evaluation expenditure is a key audit matter due to:
The significance of the total balance (81% of total
assets);
The necessity
to assess management’s
application of the requirements of the accounting
standard Exploration
for and Evaluation of
Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”), in light of any
Liability limited by a scheme approved

and
The assessment of significant judgements made
by management in relation to the Capitalised
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure.

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, 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.
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 the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and
fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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 Group or to cease operations, or has 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 the 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 the 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. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit
evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and
fair view 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 entity's internal control.
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.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
report.
We 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 Group'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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
We 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.
We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group 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.
The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit
engagements. 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, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the consolidated financial report of the current period and are therefore 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
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 8 to 11 of the directors’ report for the year ended
30 June 2019. 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.
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Inca Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019 complies
with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
