CHAIR and EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S LETTER 

Dear Shareholder, 

Jameson 

Resources 

The past year has been a significant year for your 
Company, 
Limited 
(“Jameson” or “the Company”) in progressing the 
Crown  Mountain  Hard  Coking  Coal  Project 
through the evaluation phase, with the release of 
the  results  of  the  Crown  Mountain  Hard  Coking 
Coal  Project  Bankable  Feasibility  Study  (“BFS”) 
and  furthering  the  Environmental  Assessment 
Certificate Application (“EA Application”), moving 
the  Project  closer  to  Final  Investment  Decision 
(“FID”) and ultimately development.  It has been a 
year  of  highlights  and  challenges 
that  has 
included a change in leadership.  

The  Company  is  proud  to  have  been  able  to 
continue  to  advance  its  Crown  Mountain  Hard 
Coking  Coal  Project  against  an  overall 
challenging  macroeconomic  backdrop.  The  past 
nine months has seen increased levels of volatility 
across  global  equity  markets  as  a  result  of  the 
negative 
impact  and  heightened  uncertainty 
COVID-19  has  had  on  global  economies.  This 
impact was also felt on metallurgical coal prices. 
Despite  these  challenges  at  a  macroeconomic 
level, the Company has continued to monitor the 
external  environment  whilst  maintaining 
its 
commitment  to  progressing  the  evaluation  and 
permitting  of  the  Crown  Mountain  Hard  Coking 
Coal Project (“Crown Mountain”). 

A number of the highlights included the release of 
the  BFS  results  from  the  Company’s  Crown 
Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project in July 2020, 
furthering  the  EA  Application  toward  a  March 
quarter 2021 submission, continued engagement 
with  Regulators  and  key  stakeholders  including 
Provincial and Federal regulators and the Ktunaxa 
Nation  Council  (“KNC”),  broadening  of 
the 
Company’s strategy and successfully undertaking 
a placement to new and existing shareholders to 
raise $4.7 million.  With these funds now secured 
the  Company  is  working  toward  the  submittal  of 
the EA Application, the culmination of more than 
six years of environmental baseline and permitting 
work  that  commenced  in  2014  with  the  Project 
Description  and  has  seen  the  successful  receipt 
of  the  Application  Information  Requirements  in 
2018,  a  document  that  prescribes  how  the 
proponent  is  to  undertake  the  EA  Application. 
Despite  the  highlights,  the  year  hasn’t  been 
without  its  challenges  which  have  included  the 
impacts  COVID-19  has  had  on  the  way  the 
Company  and  its  consultants  undertake  their 
work,  the  impact  COVID-19  has  had  on  global 
economies and the associated impacts on equity 
and  metallurgical  coal  markets,  the  Company 
being advised by Joint Venture partner in Crown 

Mountain,  Bathurst  Resources  Limited,  that  they 
would  be  pro-rata  funding  their  share  of  project 
costs from 1 July 2020, and the lack of precedents 
relating 
to  cumulative  effects  assessments 
throughout the Elk Valley.  Crown Mountain is one 
of the first proponents to undertake the cumulative 
effects  assessments  process  and  whilst 
challenging  due 
lack  of  precedents, 
the 
Jameson has had the opportunity to demonstrate 
its commitment to being responsible and working 
together with Regulators and the KNC. 

to 

in  March  2020.  Since  March 

The Company has seen a smooth transition with 
the  change  in  leadership  with  Nicole  Hollows 
being appointed Chair and Joel Nicholls Executive 
Director 
the 
Company  has  sought 
to  better  define  and 
articulate  its  purpose  and vision  of  becoming  an 
independent,  growth  oriented  metallurgical 
coal  developer 
focused  on  delivering 
sustainable  outcomes.  The  implementation  of 
the  Company’s  strategy  involves  furthering  the 
Crown  Mountain  Hard  Coking  Coal  Project 
through 
toward 
the  evaluation  phase  and 
development, while looking to potential acquisitive 
growth  opportunities  after  the  EA  Application  for 
Crown  Mountain  is  submitted  in  March  2021 
quarter.        The  strategy  is  underpinned  by  our 
values  and  implementing  strategies  with  strong 
stakeholder  engagement  to  achieve  growth 
sustainably  and  being  commercially  focused 
with a continuous improvement mindset, working 
together  with  all  stakeholders  to  deliver  our 
projects responsibly and sustainably. 

The  Company  looks  forward  to  the  year  ahead 
where  it  will  look  to  progress  Crown  Mountain 
along  the  development  curve  by  optimising  the 
economics of certain areas identified in the BFS, 
submit the EA Application and further discussions 
with  strategic  and  end  users,  in  addition  to 
commencing the search for other potential assets 
and  look  to  build  out  a  team  to  complement  the 
existing skillset the Company has to ensure sound 
execution of the defined corporate strategy.

HIGHLIGHTS AND CHALLENGES 

Highlights and Challenges 

The  past  year  has  seen  Jameson  Resources 
Limited  (“JAL  or  the  Company”)  experience  its 
share  of  highlights  and  challenges  in  an  overall 
challenging  macroeconomic  backdrop  with 
increased  levels  of  volatility  across  global  equity 
markets as a result of the negative impact COVID-
19 has had on global economies and metallurgical 
coal prices.  

Highlights 

The highlights for the past year have included: 

•  Release of the Crown Mountain Hard Coking 
Coal  Bankable  Feasibility  Study  (“BFS”) 
demonstrating  an  economically  robust,  high 
quality hard coking coal mine with a 15 year 
mine life

expected  to  further  enhance  the  execution 
and economics of the Project. 

Challenges 

While there were a number of highlights, the past 
year  has  also  seen  its  share  of  challenges  that 
have included: 

•  The  impact  of  COVID-19  on  the  way  the 
Company, its employees and contractors and 
consultants execute their work 

•  The  adverse  impact  that  COVID-19  and 
broader  global  economics  has  had  on

implementing  strategies 

Strategic Objectives in context 

Our three strategic objectives can be described as 
follows: 
•  Commercially  focused  -  engaged  people 
with a mindset of continuous improvement to 
be a safe, efficient and low cost producer that 
optimises the value of our assets 

•  Grow  Sustainably  –  a  focus  on  long  term 
sustainable development through investing in 

our  people,  progressing  organic  and  future 
M&A  growth  opportunities  along 
the 
development  curve  whilst  managing  our 
environmental impact  

•  Stakeholders  Engaged 

-  Open  and 
transparent, mutually rewarding relationships 
with  our  people,  our  customers,  our 
shareholders  and  the  communities  in  which 
we operate 

Jameson has developed strategic goals for each 
of  these  three  strategic  objectives  which  are 
depicted 
  Key 
performance  indicators  will  be  developed  each 
year  to  align  with  these  goals  and  objectives  to 
enable the Company to deliver on its Purpose. 

the  strategic 

roadmap. 

in 

In order to execute on the Company’s strategy of 
moving  Crown  Mountain  through  evaluation  and 
into  development,  whilst  also  assessing  other 
potential  opportunities,  the  Company  needs  to 
build  a  team  to  complement  the  existing  skillset 
and provide a solid foundation from which it can 
capitalise on the opportunities as they arise.  

The Company intends to actively seek value add 
investment  opportunities  that  leverage  off  the 
strengths  of  Jameson  whereby  value  can  be 
added through progression along the value curve 
(as depicted in the value curve on the next page) 
and/or providing an agile and focused approach to 
optimising value if in the operational phase. 

Growth in perspective 

The Company has given consideration to what it 
deems acceptable parameters for identification of 
potential  opportunities  to  ensure  the  strategy  is 
executed with a well defined criteria that enables 
value to be delivered whilst attempting to minimise 
project associated risk.   The defined parameters 
include a focus to the following assets: 

• 
• 

•  metallurgical  coal  assets,  with  Hard  Coking 
Coal (‘HCC”) as the  preference, an area the 
Company believes it can add value 
high quality, high margin or low-cost

sovereign risk, with a preference to Canadian 
and  Australian  assets  given  existing 
knowledge  and  expertise  and  lower  risk

Location: Elk Valley, British Columbia 

The Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project is 
a  high  quality  coking  coal  opportunity 
for 
development  located  in  the  Elk  Valley,  British 
Columbia.  It  is  situated  between  two  of  Teck 
Resources  operating  mines  -  ~11km  from  Line 
Creek  and  ~8km  from  Elkview.  The  Project  is 
proximate  to  existing  common  user  rail  that 
accesses  three  deep  water  ports  on  the  West 
Coast of Vancouver, Canada. 

The  Crown  Mountain  Hard  Coking  Coal  Project 
has been advanced through exploration and coal 
quality work, Preliminary Economic Assessment, 
a  Pre-Feasibility  Study  completed  in  2014,  an 
Updated Pre-Feasibility  in 2017 and the release 
of the Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) on 9 July 
2020. 

The Crown Mountain BFS included the following 
highlights:  
•  Robust  economic  outcomes  including  a  pre-
tax NPV(10) of US$376m and IRR of 36.4%, 
assuming purchase of the mobile equipment, 
workshops and ancillary infrastructure

high  quality  low  volatile  (‘LV’)  metallurgical 
coal, with the Life of Mine (“LOM”) product mix 
being  86%  Hard  Coking  Coal  (“HCC”)  and 
14% Pulverised Coal Injection (“PCI”) coal 
•  The mine plan is based on an average LOM 
production rate of 1.7 Mtpa of saleable coal, 
57.5 Mt Total Run of Mine (“ROM”) from the 
North, East and South pits over 15 years. 

The Bankable Feasibility Study has also identified 
a  number  of  areas  of  potential  optimisation  that 
the  Company  intends  to  assess  in  order  to 
maximise the economic outcomes whilst finalising 
the EA Application.  

The  Crown  Mountain  Hard  Coking  Coal  Project 
(“Crown  Mountain”)  has  resources  of  90.2Mt, 
including  66.5Mt  in  the  Measured  and  Indicated 
category across three pits – North, East and South 
pits.  There  is  23.7Mt  of  inferred  resource  in  the

production costs. 

that  sits  outside 

The  HCC  quality  in  the  North  and  East  pits  is 
comparable  to  the  seaborne  Low Volatile  Matter 
(“LV”) Premium HCC Benchmark and is expected 
to  achieve  this  benchmark  pricing.    The  HCC 
quality  in  the  South  Pit  is  expected  to  receive  a 
10% discount to the LV Premium HCC Benchmark 
as a result of a lower Coke Strength after Reaction 
(“CSR”) and higher phosphorous than that in the 
North and East pits. 

The  PCI  is  a  Low  to  Mid  Volatile  PCI  coal  that 
compares  favourably  with  the  Australian  Low  to 
Mid  Volatile  PCI  coals  on  the  basis  of  ash, 
sulphur, carbon content and calorific value which 
are  the  key  determinants  in  coke  replacement 
ratio.  Crown  Mountain  PCI  coal’s  coke 
replacement  ratio  is  similar  to  that  achieved  by 
the LV PCI coals produced in Australia. 

The  defined  mining  parameters  established  by 
the BFS include average annual production of 1.7 
Million Tonnes Per Annum (“Mtpa”) over the life 
of  mine.  The  Project  has  a  favourable  Run-of-
Mine (“ROM”) strip ratio 4.7:1 BCM:ROM tonnes 
and an average plant yield of 48.7%. The first four 
years of mining occurs in the North and East pits 
which is lower ROM strip ratio of 4.1 BCM:ROM 
tonnes and higher yield (61.2%), producing up to 
2.3 Mtpa.  The mine then progresses to the South 
Pit which is mined from the South to the North.

the EA Application in the March quarter 2021 with 
all  baseline  work,  terrestrial  modelling,  ground

Other  studies  are  well  advanced  covering  air 
dispersion,  noise,  and  human  health  and 
ecological studies.  The modelling approach and 
completed  models  have  been  the  subject  of 
ongoing  engagement  with  Regulators,  both 
Provincial  and  Federal,  and  First  Nations.    The 
pre-submittal  engagement  has  been  used  to 
communicate 
results  of 
modelling  and  the  associated  quantification  of 
impacts, proposed mitigation and offsets. The use 
of a quantitative approach to addressing terrestrial 
modelling,  rather  than  simple  engagement  of 
subject matter experts and the use of qualitative 
factors  has  enabled  robust  and  constructive 
discussion with the Regulators.

Location and Tenure 

The  Crown  Mountain  Hard  Coking  Coal  Project 
(“Crown  Mountain”  or  “the  Project”)  is  located 
within  the  Elk  Valley  coal  field  in  south  eastern 
British Columbia.  Along with the Crowsnest coal 
field, this region is home to four of Canada’s active 
coking coal mines. These four coal mines produce 
over 20 million tonnes per annum of quality coking 
and  thermal  coal,  representing  a  majority  of 
Canada’s total coal exports.  

Crown  Mountain  is  in  close  proximity  to  two 
significant  metallurgical  coal  mines:  Line  Creek 
which is 12km to the north, and Elkview which is 
8km  to  the  southwest  (Figure  2).    The  Project 
includes  ten  granted  coal  licences  (418150, 
418151,  418152,  418153,  418154,  418966, 
419272, 419273, 419274,  and  419275) covering 
an area of 5,630 hectares (Table 1).

The  BFS  has  demonstrated  a  technically  and 
economically  robust  Project  that  will  produce  an 
average of 86% LV HCC and 14% PCI coal over 
the 15-year mine life (see Table 2 on the following 
page). The study was led by Stantec Consulting’s

the  Premium  LV  HCC 
Benchmark had spent the 18 months prior at an 
average  of  ~US$120/t,  and  had  been  as  low  as 
US$73.40/t.    Since  that  time,  the  Premium  LV

has been as high as US$314/t.  

Economics 

The BFS was undertaken in the 2018-2020 period 
where  benchmark  prices  were  high  resulting  in 

All  coal  extraction  is  undertaken  via  open  pit 
mining of the North, East and South pits.  The BFS 
assumes a Run of Mine (“ROM”)  coal production 
of 57.5Mt at an average LOM ROM strip ratio of 
4.7:1  BCM:ROM  tonnes.    The  first  four  years  of 
mining occurs in the North and East pits which is 
lower  ROM  strip  ratio  of  4.1  BCM:ROM  tonnes 
and  higher  yield  (61.2%),  producing  up  to  2.3 
Mtpa.  The mine then progresses to the South Pit 
which is mined from the South to the North.

Coal processing occurs through a Coal Handling 
and Process Plant (‘CHPP’) that is located near  
the  North  Pit.  Coal  will  be  trucked  to  the  CHPP 
where  it  will  be  processed.  The  average  LOM 
processing yield is 48.7%, delivering a clean coal, 
or saleable coal resource of 26.3Mt at an average 

clean coal strip ratio of 10.3:1 BCM:t clean coal. 
The processed coal will then be conveyed  ~3km 
down  to  a  Truck  Loadout  Bin  where  the  coal  is 
then trucked 15 kms to a clean coal stockpile and 
reclaimed into the Train Loadout Facility. Coal is 
then loaded onto Canadian Pacific rail cars at the 
proposed  figure  eight  Rail  Load  Out.    Coal  will 
then  be  railed  approximately  1,200  km  to  the 
preferred  Westshore  Terminal  for  global  export.

ASSET OVERVIEW 

The  Crown  Mountain  Pulverised  Coal  Injection 
(“PCI”) averages at 14% of saleable coal over the 
Project,  is  a  Low  to  Mid  Volatile  PCI  coal  that 
compares  favourably  with  the  Australian  Low  to 
Mid  Volatile  PCI  coals  on  the  basis  of  ash, 
sulphur, carbon content and calorific value which 
are  the  key  determinants  in  coke  replacement 
ratio.  The  Crown  Mountain  PCI  coal’s  coke 
replacement ratio is similar to that achieved by the 
LV  PCI  coals  produced  in  Australia.    North  and 
East  pits  PCI  coal  is  assumed  to  achieve 
US$115/tonne,  while  the  South  Pit  PCI  coal 
achieves a price of US$112/tonne.

The Environmental Assessment Application (“EA 
Application”)  has  progressed  during  the  year 
under 
joint  effort  of  Dillon  Consulting

expert consultants.  The EA Application is the key 
pre-requisite  for  the  other  permits  required  to 
operate an open pit coal mine in British Columbia.   

As result of the delay in completion of the BFS, the

The agreement also provides for: 

• 

up  to  a  C$5million  Advance  of  the  total 
C$110,000,000  Tranche  Two  Option  at 
Bathurst’s  discretion  to  provide  funding 
towards pre construction activities.   
•  With the completion of the BFS and once 
the  required  permits  have  been  issued, 
Bathurst  has  the  option  to sole  fund  the 
first C$110 million of construction costs, 
less any Tranche Two Advances,  in the 
form  of  cash,  which  is  anticipated  to 
represent  the  cash  component  of  a 
project  financing  package.    Upon  fully 
funding all tranches, which total C$121.5 
million,  Crown  Mountain  will  be  a  50/50 
joint  venture  between  Jameson  and 
Bathurst. 

During the 2020 financial year, Bathurst provided 
C$2.6  million 
for  pre-construction  activities, 
including completion of the BFS, EA Application, 
and  other  permitting  activities.        Bathurst  have 
advised  that  they  will  no  longer  exercise  their 
discretion and use the remaining C$2.4 million of 
the Option Two Advance facility for sole funding of 
the  Project  costs.    Accordingly,  Jameson  and 
Bathurst  will  pro  rata  contribute  Coal  Mountain 
Project  related  costs  in  accordance  with  their 
ownership interests in NWP. Jameson undertook 
an  equity  raising  in July  to ensure Jameson  can 
pay  its  share  of  Project  related  costs  for  the  EA 
application,  BFS  optimization  work  and  other 
NWP  costs  to  be  incurred  during  the  2021 
financial year.     

The  Gantt  chart  below  displays  the  projected 
timeline for Crown Mountain through to initial coal 
production  and  assumes  the  EA  Application  is 
submitted  as  targeted  (March  2021  quarter),  no 
abnormal  or  unforeseen  delays  (ie.  Regulatory

Cancellation  of  5  pending  exploration  license 
applications by the British Columbian government 
in 2015 limited the potential scale of the Dunlevy 
project  should 
it  be  ultimately  developed. 
Jameson  determined  that  it  was  not  in  the 
Company’s  best  interest  to  proceed  any  further 
with  Dunlevy  at  that  time,  choosing  instead  to 
devote available funds to Crown Mountain. 

As  Jameson  has  not  completed  any  work  on 
Dunlevy  during  the  past  5  years,  please  refer  to 
the 2015 Annual Report for information on Project 
details.  

Annual rent on the exploration licenses has been 
paid and the Project remains in good standing. 

Based  upon  the  discontinuation  of  activities  on 
Dunlevy,  the  Company  elected  in  2016  to  write 
down the Project value to nil. 

DUNLEVY COAL PROJECT  

Dunlevy 

Ownership: 100% Dunlevy Energy Inc 

Commodity: Metallurgical Coal 

Location: Peace River, British Columbia 

Jameson  holds  a  100%  interest  in  the  Dunlevy 
Project  located  in  the  Peace  River  coal  field 
district of North-East British Columbia. 

The  Peace  River  coal  field  is  estimated  to  have 
mineable  resources  of  over  1  billion  tonnes  of 
export  quality  coal  (BC  Ministry  of  Energy  and 
Mines). Production from the Peace River coal field 
has included some of Canada’s major coking coal 
and PCI mines – Willow Creek, Brule, Wolverine 
and Trend – that are located along strike from the 
Project area. 

Dunlevy is in a well developed area where several 
major  mines  and  mining  prospects  are  located, 
and  is  90km  from  Fort  St.  John,  a  regional 
commercial  centre. 
  All  weather  roads  link 
Dunlevy  to  Fort  St.  John  and  Chetwynd,  where 
Canadian  National  Railway’s 
track  can  be 
accessed.    The  rail  provides  shipping  the  three 
deep water ports on the west coast of Vancouver.  
There  is  also  potential  to  reduce  transportation 
costs  by  utilising  the  large  man-made  Williston 
Lake  bordering  the  property  to  transport  coal  by 
barge to rail access. 

Jameson  executed  a  small  drilling  program  at 
Dunlevy in the summer of 2014. 

Dunlevy’s coal licenses are in good standing with 
the Province. 

Due to its early stage, no compliant coal resources 
have been determined. 

Dunlevy  consists  of  2  approved  coal  exploration 
licenses as shown in Table 21 below:

CORPORATE STRUCTURE 

Jameson  Resources  Limited  is  a  public company listed on  the  ASX  (Code:  JAL) and  is incorporated  and 
domiciled in Western Australia. The Company has a 77.8% interest in NWP Coal Canada Limited (“NWP”) 
which holds a 90% interest in the Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project and a 100% direct interest in 
the Dunlevy Coal Project, both located in British Columbia, Canada. In October 2019, a subsidiary of Bathurst 
Resources Limited (ASX:BRL) (“Bathurst”) acquired a 20% interest in NWP in common shares by exercising 
its  Tranche  One  Option  and  an  additional  2.2%  in  Class  B  Preference  shares  during  the  financial  year, 
exercising its Tranche Two Advance Option of C$2.6 million.  Bathurst holds a Tranche Two Option, at their 
discretion, to increase their ownership interest to 50%, subject to certain milestones and additional payments.  

Jameson Resources Limited and its subsidiaries NWP Coal Canada Ltd (“NWP”) and Dunlevy Energy Inc. 
are collectively referred to as Jameson, or the Group, as the context requires.  

4. 

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

The principal activity of the Group during the financial year was advancing the Company’s Crown Mountain 
Hard Coking Coal Project (“Crown Mountain”) through the evaluation phase by progressing it.  

Management also evaluates other coal opportunities that present themselves from time-to-time and will be 
considering new opportunities after the Crown Mountain EA Application is submitted in March 2021 quarter. 

There were no significant changes in the nature of the Group’s principal activities during the financial year.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Review of operations  

The past year has seen its share of highlights and challenges for Jameson Resources Limited (“JAL or the 
Company”), resulting in the following key deliverables for the year: 

•  Finalisation of the Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) demonstrating 
an economically robust, high quality hard coking coal development opportunity with a 15 year mine life, 
a  competitive  operating  and  capital  cost  structure  and  access  to  existing  common  user  rail  and  port 
infrastructure 

•  The  Crown  Mountain  Environmental  Assessment  Certificate  Application  (”EA  Application”)  was 
progressed with completion of all baseline work, terrestrial modelling, ground water and surface water 
modelling and further advancement in other modelling efforts including air dispersion, noise, and human 
health and ecological studies.  The modelling approach and completed models have been the subject of 
ongoing engagement with Regulators, both Provincial and Federal, and First Nations 

•  Continued engagement with regulators and key stakeholders including Provincial and Federal regulators 

and the Ktunaxa Nation Council (“KNC”) 

•  Development  and  broadening  of  our  strategy,  including  a  strategic  roadmap  to  deliver  value  to 
shareholders through being commercially focused to deliver growth sustainably with strong stakeholder 
engagement by: 

o 
the sustainable development and optimisation of our Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project 
o  assessment  of  value  add  acquisitive  growth  opportunities  after  the  EA  submission  in  March 

2021 quarter. 

The EA Application for Crown Mountain did experience some delay during the year as a result of the delayed 
completion  of  the  Bankable  Feasibility  Study,  impacts  of  Covid-19  and  increased  scope  to  completion 
predominantly relating to effects assessments.  The EA Application is on track to be submitted in the March 
2021 quarter as June and July expenditure was reduced given Bathurst advising they would no longer be 
fully funding the project expenditure with Jameson being required to obtain funding which was completed 
with the equity placement in July, 2020. 

The Bankable Feasibility Study also identified a number of areas of potential optimisation that the Company 
intends to assess in the future, to maximise the economic outcomes whilst finalising the EA Application.  
For further  information  on  the  results  of  the  Crown  Mountain  BFS  please  see  pages  10-16  of  the  Annual 
Report. 

In  order  to  execute  on  the  Company’s  strategy,  the  Company  intends  to  commence  building  a  team  to 
complement  the  existing  skillset  and  provide  a  solid  foundation  from  which  it  can  capitalise  on  whilst 
developing Crown Mountain and for future opportunities as they arise. 

5. 

OPERATING RESULTS 

The  profit,  after  tax,  attributable  to  the  Group  for  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2020,  amounted  to 
$418,918 (2019: $1,125,360 loss). 

6. 

DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED 

The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend in respect of the financial year and no amount 
has been paid or declared by way of a dividend since the start of the financial year to the date of this Report.

7.       SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS 

On 15 March 2020, Mr Art Palm retired as CEO and Acting Chairman of the Company and Ms Nicole Hollows 
was appointed as Independent Non-Executive Chair.  Mr Joel Nicholls was appointed Executive Director on 
15 March 2020. 

On 9 July 2020, the Company announced the results of its Bankable Feasibility Study at its flagship Crown 
Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project.   

Other than as stated above, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during 
the financial year. 

8. 

AFTER BALANCE DATE EVENTS 

On 9 July 2020, the Company announced the result to the Bankable Feasibility Study at its Crown Mountain 
Hard Coking Coal Project. 

On 28 July 2020, the Company completed a capital raising via Placement raising $4.7 million before costs 
and issuing 39.5 million shares at $0.12 per share.  The funds were raised to fund Jameson’s share of Crown 
Mountain Project related costs (progress the EA Application for submission in the March 2021 quarter and 
undertake BFS optimisation work) and for general working capital purposes. 

The Company was required to undertake the capital raising to ensure sufficient funding for completion of the 
EA Application after it was notified by Joint Venture partner Bathurst that it would not be using its discretion 
to fund the remainder of the Tranche Two Option Advance (C$2.4m remaining of the C$5m advance facility) 
and would instead be funding the Project costs on a pro-rata basis in line with its common equity ownership 
for FY21 and beyond until Option Two is exercised or lapses, being effectively financial investment decision 
for the mine to proceed.  This matter is an ongoing negotiation and the market will be kept abreast of any 
further developments. 

Other than detailed above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the year end which significantly 
affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state 
of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

the Board undertakes the work. 

10.  FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS 

Jameson is focusing its efforts on the development of the Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project in British 
Columbia, Canada and working with Bathurst Resources Limited to advance its Environmental Assessment 
permitting and related activities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Subsequent to the submission of the EA Application in the March  quarter 2021, management will seek to 
evaluate other opportunities, predominantly focused on metallurgical coal, in developed nations (e.g. Canada 
and Australia). 

Work  on  the  Dunlevy  Project  has  been  suspended  and  will  be  reviewed  periodically  in  light  of  market 
conditions  and  company  priorities.  Management  will  also  evaluate  other  opportunities  that  may  present 
themselves from time-to-time, both in coal and other commodities. 

Further details are contained in the Asset Overviews above.  

11. 

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES 

The Group’s operations are subject to significant environmental regulations in Western Canada in respect of 
its mining exploration activities. 

The Company is aware of its environmental obligations with regards to its exploration and evaluation activities 
and ensures that it complies with all regulations when carrying out any exploration and evaluation work.  

The  Directors  of  the  Company  are  not  aware  of  any  breaches  of  environmental  regulations  for  the  year 
covered by this report. 

The Directors have considered the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) 
which  introduces  a  single  national  reporting  framework  for the  reporting  and  dissemination  of  information 
about  the  greenhouse  gas  emissions,  greenhouse  gas  projects,  and  energy  use  and  production  of 
corporations.  At  the  current  stage  of  development,  the  Directors  have  determined  that  the  NGER Act  will 
have no effect on the Company for the current or subsequent financial year. The Directors will reassess this 
position as and when the need arises.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Remuneration Policy 

The Remuneration Policy of Jameson Resources Limited has been designed to align director and executive 
objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component, which is 
assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates, and offering long-term incentives.   

Remuneration Process - The Role of the Board 
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior 
executives of the Group is delegated to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, which considers all 
remuneration matters for executives, non-executives and senior personnel and makes recommendations to 
the Board.  

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee 
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviews executive compensation arrangements annually by 
reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance, the executive’s roles and responsibilities and 
benchmarks this for each executive against salary information from peer group companies in comparable 
industry  sectors  and  other  listed  companies  in  similar  industries.  The  Remuneration  and  Nomination 
Committee will assess the appropriateness of the nature and  quantum of emoluments of such officers by 
reference  to  relevant  employment  market  conditions  with  the  overall  objective  of  ensuring  maximum 
stakeholder  benefit  from  the  retention  of  a  high  quality  board  and  executive  team,  and  report  its 
recommendations to the Board for final determination.   

In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board also seeks independent advice if required on local 
and international trends among comparative companies and industry generally.  

Executives and Key Management 
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) 
and statutory superannuation (if eligible).  

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee must disclose whether or not the relevant annual performance 
evaluations have been conducted. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee review the performance 
evaluation of Executives and Key Management annually. This evaluation is based on criteria, including the 
business  performance  of  the  Company  and  whether  strategic  objectives  in  terms  of  project  development 
were achieved.  

Key Performance Indicators 
The Company has in place key performance indicators (“KPI’s”) linked to vesting hurdles. The Board holds 
regular  meetings  during  the  year  where  it  reviews  reports  prepared  by  the  Executive  Director  outlining 
progress  in  key  areas  such  as  project  development  against  specified  milestones  and  budgets,  business 
development and finance.  

During the year, the company adopted an Employee Incentive Plan (“EIP”) to provide incentive and reward 
for  Eligible  Participants  and  align  the  interests  to  participants  more  closely  with  the  interests  of  the 
Shareholders.  There were no issues under the EIP during the year ended 30 June 2020. 

Under Jameson’s 2019 FY Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) plan the Company issued options to Non-executive 
Directors with staged vesting dates. Further details of the equity incentives granted are detailed in Note 16 
of the Company’s financial statements.  

The Board encourages directors to hold shares in the Company. The Company has a Share Trading Policy 
which  directors  and  employees  are  required  to  comply  with.  No  shares  or  options  were  acquired  by  key 
management personnel during the year other than as part of remuneration.  

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed.  All 
performance rights have been valued in accordance with AASB 2, which takes into account factors such as 
the  underlying  share  price,  the  expected  vesting  date  and  vesting  probability  in  achieving  the  specified 
vesting hurdles at the reporting date. 

Non-Executive Directors 
The  Board policy  is  to  remunerate  non-executive  directors  at  market  rates  for comparable  companies  for 
time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and 
reviews  their  remuneration  annually,  based  on  market  practice,  duties  and  accountability.  Independent 
external advice is sought when required.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
The maximum aggregate amount of fee pool that can be paid in total to non-executive directors is currently 
at  $250,000  per annum  as  approved  by  shareholders  at  incorporation  in  2007.  The  Company  intends  on 
seeking shareholder approval to increase the aggregate amount of fees payable to non-executive directors 
by $50,000 to an aggregate total of $300,000 at the 2020 AGM to provide flexibility for an additional board 
member in the future.  Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. 

Performance based remuneration 

Short Term Incentive Plan (“STI”) 

During  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2020,  cash  bonus  of  A$113,049  (US$76,500)  and  A$34,765 
(US$19,625) in relation to the 2018/19 STI Plan and 2019/20 STI Plan, respectively, were paid to the CEO. 
The  cash  bonuses  were  in  recognition  of  the  CEO’s  achievements  in  meeting  the  Company’s  objectives.  
The cash bonuses are at 25% based upon the range of bonuses available at the Board’s discretion within 
the original STI plan which was tabled and approved by the Board in 2017. 

2019/20 STI Plan 
The  Board  considered  that  the  completion  of  the  Bankable  Feasibility  Study  and  submission  of  the 
Environmental Assessment Application  were two of the  significant deliverables  during the year. The CEO 
2019/20 STI bonus was therefore aligned with these objectives and weighted accordingly.  

As a vesting condition, the CEO is to remain the CEO or an executive employee of Jameson at the time of 
the award. At the CEO’s retirement, the board awarded the 2019/20 STI Bonus on a pro-rata basis reflecting 
the current year progress towards the completion of the Bankable Feasibility Study. 

Voting and Comments at the Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting 

The  adoption  of  the  Remuneration  Report  for  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2019  was  put  to  the 
shareholders of the Company at the Annual General Meeting held on  21 November 2019. The Company 
received  99.8%  of  the  vote,  of  those  shareholders  who  exercised  their  right  to  vote,  in  favour  of  the 
remuneration report for the 2019 financial year. The resolution was passed without amendment on a show 
of  hands.  The  Company  did  not  receive  any  specific  feedback  at  the  AGM  or  throughout  the  year  on  its 
remuneration policies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

To the members of Jameson Resources Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  Jameson  Resources  Limited  (“the  Company”)  and  its 
controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position 
as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, 
the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for 
the  year  then  ended,  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:  

a)  giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group’s  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2020  and  of  its 

financial performance for the year then ended; and  

b)  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. We have determined the matters described below to 
be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter 

How  our  audit  addressed  the  key  audit 
matter 

Carrying value of exploration and evaluation 
Note 8 

The  Group  has  capitalised  exploration  and 
evaluation expenditure of $28,089,144 as at 30 June 
2020 in relation to its Canadian coal projects. 

Our  audit  procedures  determined  that  the  carrying 
value of exploration and evaluation expenditure was 
a key audit matter as it was an area which required 
the  most  audit  effort, 
the  most 
communication with those charged with governance 
and was determined to be of key importance to the 
users of the financial statements. 

required 

Our  procedures  included  but  were  not 
limited to the following: 

-  We  obtained  an  understanding  of  the 
key 
associated  with 
management’s review of the exploration 
and evaluation asset carrying values; 

processes 

-  We 

considered 

Directors’ 
assessment  of  potential  indicators  of 
impairment; 

the 

-  We  obtained  evidence  that  the  Group 
has current rights to tenure of its areas 
of interest; 

-  We  discussed  with  management  the 
nature of planned ongoing activities; 

-  We 

tested  additions 

to  exploration 
expenditure  on  a  sample  basis  during 
the year; 

-  We  enquired  with  management,  and 
reviewed  ASX  announcements  and 
minutes of Directors’ meetings to ensure 
that  the  Group  had  not  decided  to 
discontinue  exploration  and  evaluation 
at its areas of interest; and 

-  We  examined  the  disclosures  made  in 

the financial report. 

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 

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 2020, 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 have no realistic alternative but to do so.

31 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee 
that  an  audit  conducted  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards  will  always  detect  a 
material  misstatement  when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are 
considered  material  if,  individually  or  in  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 the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

- 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit 
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not 
detecting  a material  misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting  from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the 
override of internal control.  

- 

- 

-  Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  
Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to 
events or conditions that  may cast significant doubt  on the 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.  
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 communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control 
that we identify during our audit.  

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other 
matters  that  may  reasonably  be  thought  to  bear  on  our  independence,  and  where  applicable, 
related safeguards.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a) 

Basis of Preparation 

Annual Report Year Ended 30 June 2020 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with 
the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies 
with other requirements of the law.  

The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis unless otherwise stated. 

The Company is an ASX listed public company, incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia and 
Canada. The entity’s principal activities are mineral exploration.   

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. 

(b) 

Adoption of new and revised standards 

Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards 

In the year ended 30 June 2020, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual 
reporting period.  As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact 
of  the  new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  on  the  Company  and,  therefore,  no  material 
change is necessary to Group accounting policies. 

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity: 

AASB 16 Leases 
AASB 16 Leases supersedes AASB 117 Leases.  The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019 
which  results  in  changes  in  the  classification,  measurement  and  recognition  of  leases.  The  changes 
remove the distinction between ‘operating and ‘finance’ leases.  The new standard requires recognition of 
a right-of-use asset (the leased item) and a financial liability (to pay rentals). The exceptions are short-
term leases and leases of low value assets. 

The  Group  has  adopted  AASB  16  using  the  modified  retrospective  approach  under  which  the 
reclassifications  and  the  adjustments  arising  from  the  new  leasing  rules  are recognised  in  the  opening 
Condensed Statement of Financial Position on 1 July 2019.  Under this approach, there is no initial Impact 
on retained earnings, and comparatives have not been restated. 

The  Group  leases  office  space.    Prior  to  1  July  2019,  the  leases  were  classified  as  operating  leases. 
Payments made under operating leases were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the 
period of the leases. 

From 1 July 2019, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date which 
the  lease  asset  is  available  for  use  by  the  Group  (i.e.  commencement  date).  Each  lease  payment  is 
allocated between the liability and the finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the 
lease period so as to produce a consistent period rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability 
for each period. 

Where leases have a term of less than 12 months or relate to low value assets, the Group has applied the 
optional exemptions to not capitalise these leases and instead account for the lease expense on a straight-
line basis over the lease term.  

Impact on adoption of AASB 16 
The adoption of AASB 16 has not resulted in any changes in respect of all operating leases, as the exiting 
lease at 1 July 2019 met the appropriate exemption criteria of having a term of less than 1 year.  

The net impact on retained earnings on 1 July 2019 was $nil. 

Practical expedients applied 
In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted 
by the standard: 

39 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Annual Report Year Ended 30 June 2020 

•  For existing contracts as at 1 July 2019, the Group has elected to  apply the definition of lease 
contained in AASB 117 and Interpretation 4 and has not applied AASB 16 to contracts that were 
previously not identified as leases under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4; 

•  Accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 

2019 as short-term leases, with no right-of-use asset nor lease liability recognized. 

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted 

The Directors have also reviewed all Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the year 
ended 30 June 2020. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material 
impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Company and, therefore, no 
change is necessary to Group accounting policies. 

(c) 

Statement of Compliance 
The financial report was authorised for issue on 21 September 2020. 

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents 
to  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (AIFRS).  Compliance  with  AIFRS  ensures  that  the 
financial  report,  comprising  the  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto,  complies  with  International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

(d) 

Significant accounting estimates and judgements 

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about 
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates 
and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to 
be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.  

Exploration and evaluation expenditure: 

The Directors have conducted a review of the Group’s capitalised exploration expenditure to determine 
the existence of any indicators of impairment.  Based upon this review, the Directors have determined 
that no impairment exists. 

Share-based payment transactions: 
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value 
of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external 
valuer using a Black and Scholes model, using assumptions provided by the Company. 

The fair value is expensed over the vesting period. 

(e) 

Foreign currency translation 

Both the functional and presentation currency of Jameson Resources Limited is Australian dollars.  Each 
entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements 
of each entity are measured using that functional currency. 

The  functional  currency  of  the  foreign  operations,  NWP  Coal  Canada  and  Dunlevy  Energy  Inc  is 
Canadian dollars, “CAD”. 

Transactions  in  foreign  currencies  are  initially  recorded  in  the  functional  currency  by  applying  the 
exchange  rates  ruling  at  the  date  of  the  transaction.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in 
foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date. 

All  exchange  differences  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  taken  to  profit  or  loss  with  the 
exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment 
in a foreign entity.  These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which 
time they are recognised in profit or loss.

Annual Report Year Ended 30 June 2020 

Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised 
in equity.  Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are 
translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. 

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates 
at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried 
at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. 

As at the balance date the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation 
currency of Jameson Resources Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date and income 
and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period, unless exchange rates 
fluctuated  significantly  during  that  period,  in  which  case  the  exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the 
transactions are used. 

The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity, 
being recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

Basis of Consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  Jameson  Resources 
Limited  and  its  subsidiaries  as  at  30  June  each  year  (the  Group).  Control  is  achieved  where  the 
company  has  the  power  to  govern  the  financial  and  operating  policies  of  an  entity  so  as  to  obtain 
benefits from its activities. 

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent 
company, using consistent accounting policies.  Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost 
in the parent entity’s financial statements. 

In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  all  intercompany  balances  and  transactions, 
income  and  expenses  and  profit  and  losses  resulting  from  intra-group  transactions  have  been 
eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to 
the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. 
Control exists where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an 
entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The 
purchase  method  of  accounting  involves  allocating  the  cost  of  the  business  combination  to  the  fair 
value  of  the  assets  acquired  and  the  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  assumed  at  the  date  of 
acquisition. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the results of subsidiaries for 
the period from their acquisition.

Interest income 
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow 
to the Group and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Interest income is accrued on a time 
basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the 
rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset 
to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

The tax benefits of the above deferred tax assets will only be obtained if: 
(a)  

the company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable 
the  benefits to be utilised; 
the company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and  
no changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the company in utilising the benefits.

required to be measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply in the future income year when the asset 
is  realised  or  the  liability  is  settled.  The  Directors  have  determined  that  the  deferred  tax  balances  be

NOTE 4. INCOME TAX (Continued) 

Annual Report Year Ended 30 June 2020 

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to 
be  recovered  from  or  paid  to  the  taxation  authorities.  The  tax  rates  and  tax  laws  used  to  compute  the 
amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date. 

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the  statement of financial position date 
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 

Deferred  income  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  all  deductible  temporary  differences,  carry-forward  of 
unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available 
against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused 
tax losses can be utilised, except: 
• 

when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the 
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the 
time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or 
when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates 
or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that 
it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will 
be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. 

• 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the 
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the 
deferred income tax asset to be utilised. 

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the 
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured 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 (and tax laws) that have been 
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date. 

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and  not in profit or 
loss. 

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off 
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same 
taxable entity and the same taxation authority. 

Other taxes  
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: 

• 

• 

when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation 
authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as 
part of the expense item as applicable; and 
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included. 

The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation  authority  is  included  as  part  of 
receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash 
flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation 
authority are classified as operating cash flows.  
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, 
the taxation authority.

Current trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 60-day terms.  This balance is 
current receivables incurred on a day to day operational basis and considered unimpaired. 

(i)  The British Columbia Mining Tax Credit are normally settled within normal trading terms but outside the 

60-day terms. 

(ii)  The Reclamation Bonds are a condition of the Mines Act Permit for the Crown Mountain and Dunlevy 
Projects.  The Bonds are placed as security in the form of a certified cheque or held in trust at a nominated 
bank as a Safe Keeping Agreement.  The Bonds are returned once the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines 
has inspected the site following completion of exploration and reclamation.   

Expected credit losses 
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit losses for all trade 
receivables as these items do not have a significant financing component. 

Where  applicable,  in  measuring  the  expected  credit  losses,  the  trade  receivables  are  assessed  on  a 
collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics. They are grouped based on the days 
past due and also according to the geographical location of customers. 

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profile for sales over the past 48 months before 30 
June 2020 and 30 June 2019 respectively as well as the corresponding historical credit losses during that 
period. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect current and forwarding looking macroeconomic factors 
affecting the customer’s ability to settle the amount outstanding. 

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Failure to make 
payments  within  180  days  from  the  invoice  date  and  failure  to  engage  with  the  Group  on  alternative 
payment arrangement amongst other is considered indicators of no reasonable expectation of recovery.

The recoupment of costs carried forward in relation to areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation 
phases are dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective 
areas. 

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an 
exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are 
satisfied: 

• 
• 

the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and 
at least one of the following conditions is also met: 
i) 

the  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditures  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  successful 
development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or 

ii)  exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the balance date reached a 
stage  which  permits  a  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or  otherwise  of  economically 
recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest 
are continuing. 

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, 
studies,  exploratory  drilling,  trenching,  assaying,  sampling  and  associated  activities  and  an  allocation  of 
depreciation  and  amortised  of  assets  used  in  exploration  and  evaluation  activities.  General  and 
administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they 
are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

NOTE 8. DEFERRED EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE (Continued) 

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that 
the  carrying  amount  of  an  exploration  and  evaluation  asset  may  exceed  its  recoverable  amount.  The 
recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has 
been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the 
impairment loss (if any). 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 previous years. 

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, 
the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified 
to development.

Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: 

Plant and equipment – over 5 to 15 years (diminishing value) 
Computer equipment – 3 years (diminishing value) 

The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate,

NOTE 9. PLANT & EQUIPMENT   (Continued) 

Annual Report Year Ended 30 June 2020 

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined 
for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to 
be close to its fair value. 

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated 
recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount with 
the impairment loss recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

Derecognition and disposal 
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits 
are expected from its use or disposal. 
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal 
proceeds  and  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset)  is  included  in  profit  or  loss  in  the  year  the  asset  is 
derecognised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Annual Report Year Ended 30 June 2020 

 NOTE 18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES  

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are market risk, currency risk and interest rate 
risk.  

This  note  presents  information  about  the  Group’s  exposure  to  each  of  the  above  risks,  their  objectives, 
policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. 

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. 
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. 

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short term deposits. The main purpose of 
the financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the Group. The Group 
also  has  other  financial  instruments  such  as  trade  debtors  and  creditors  which  arise  directly  from  its 
operations. 

Market Risk 

(a) 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity 
prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. 

The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits. The policy is to monitor 
the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash 
assets and the interest rate return.  The Group does not have short or long term debt, and therefore this risk 
is minimal. 

     Currency Risk 

(b) 
Foreign  exchange  risk  arises  from  future  commitments,  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  denominated  in  a 
currency  that  is  not  the  functional  currency  of  the  Group.  The  Group  deposits  are  denominated  in  both 
Canadian and Australian dollars. BRL provides funding at agreed Canadian amounts for each Tranche of 
funding  and  the  funding  to  be  provided  outside  the  remaining  Tranche  Two  Option  Advance  that  is  not 
considered in the existing Investment Agreement and Shareholder Agreement  to minimise the impact to 
the project from fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate. At the year end the majority of deposits were 
held  in  Canadian  dollars.  Currently,  there  are  no  foreign  exchange  programs  in  place.  Based  upon  the 
above, the impact of reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates for the Group is not material. 

Interest Rate Risk 

(c) 
The table below reflects the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments of a fixed 
period  of  maturity,  as  well  as  management’s  expectations  of  the  settlement  period  for  all  other  financial 
instruments. As such, the amounts might not reconcile to the statement of financial position.

Credit Risk 

(e) 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial 
loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and 
obtaining  sufficient  collateral  or  other  security  where  appropriate,  as  a  means  of  mitigating  the  risk  of 
financial loss from defaults. 

The Group operates in the mining exploration sector; it therefore does not supply products and have trade 
receivables and is not exposed to credit risk in relation to trade receivables. The Group does not have any 
significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Company of counterparties having similar 
characteristics.  

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at each balance date in relation to each class of recognised 
financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any allowance for doubtful debts, of those assets as indicated 
in the statement of financial position. The maximum credit risk exposure of the Group at 30 June 2020 is nil 
(2019: nil). There are no impaired receivables at 30 June 2020 (2019: Nil).

  NOTE 18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued) 

Liquidity Risk 

(f) 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The 
Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient 
liquidity  to  meet  its  liabilities  when  due,  under  both  normal  and  stressed  conditions,  without  incurring 
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. 

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows on a rolling monthly basis and entering 
into  supply  contracts  which  can  be  cancelled  within  a  short  timeframe.  The  Group  does  not  have  any 
significant liquidity risk as the Group does not have any collateral debts. 

Capital Management 

(g) 
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, 
so it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 

Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, it does not have ready access to credit 
facilities  and  therefore  is  not  subject  to  any  externally  imposed  capital  requirements,  with  the  primary 
sources  of  project  funding  to  date  being  the  investment  by  Bathurst  Resources  Limited  (“Bathurst”)  and 
raising funds from equity markets. Accordingly, the objective of the Group’s capital risk management is to 
balance the current working capital position against the requirements to meet progressing evaluation work 
(such as Bankable Feasibility Study and Environment Assessment Certificate Application), project related 
costs and corporate overheads. To date this has been achieved in part by maintaining open communication 
with Bathurst to ensure the appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated operating requirements for which BRL 
contributes, and ensuring that sufficient funding is available in Jameson Resources Limited to achieve the 
strategic objectives as set out by the Board.  Going forward, operations budget and cashflow forecasts are 
monitored to ensure sufficient funding for Jameson to meet expenditure requirements given that Bathurst 
have advised they will no longer be sole funding and prorate contributions are required for Crown Mountain 
Project.  

The directors consider that the carrying value of the financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in 
the consolidated financial statement approximate their fair value.

NOTE 21. SEGMENT REPORTING 

Annual Report Year Ended 30 June 2020 

Jameson  Resources  Limited  operates  predominantly  in  one  industry  being  the  mining  exploration  and 
evaluation industry in Canada, with its corporate function located in Australia. 

Segment Information 

Identification of reportable segments 
The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and 
used by the chief operating decision maker (being the Board of Directors) in assessing performance and 
determining the allocation of resources. 

The Company is managed primarily on the basis of evaluation of its coal exploration tenements in Canada 
and its corporate activities. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis. 

Reportable  segments  disclosed  are  based  on  aggregating  operating  segments  where  the  segments  are 
considered to have similar economic characteristics. 

Types of reportable segments 
(i)   Coal exploration and evaluation 

Segment  assets,  including  acquisition  cost  of  exploration  licenses  and  all  expenses  related  to  the 
licenses in Canada are reported on in this segment. 

(ii)  Corporate 

Corporate, including treasury, corporate and regulatory expenses arising from operating an ASX listed 
entity. Segment assets, including cash and cash equivalents, and investments in financial assets are 
reported in this segment. 

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments 

Accounting policies adopted 
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief  operating decision 
maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are 
consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Company. 

Segment assets 
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the 
majority  of  economic  value  from  the  asset.  In  the  majority  of  instances,  segment  assets  are  clearly 
identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location. 

Segment liabilities 
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and 
the operations of the segment. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables.

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities 
Investments  in  subsidiaries,  associates  and  joint  venture  entities  are  accounted  for  at  cost,  less  any 
impairment, in the parent entity.  Dividends received from subsidiaries are recognised as other income by 
the parent entity and its receipt may be an indicator of an impairment of the investment. 

Share-based payments 
The grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings 
in the Group is treated as a capital contribution to that subsidiary undertaking.  The fair value of employee 
services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period 
as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

NOTE 27.  NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST (NCI) AND AGREEMENT WITH BATHURST RESOURCES 

LIMITED 

On 29 June 2018, the Company and NWP Coal Canada Ltd entered into an Investment Agreement and 
Shareholders Agreement with Bathurst Resources Limited, an ASX listed company that has coal operations 
in New Zealand. 

Key terms of the agreements are as follows: 

o 

Initial  payment  of  C$4  million  to  convert  to  8,000,000  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  in  NWP  Coal 
Canada Inc. (received 13 July 2018 reflecting 8% common ownership interest)  

o  a second tranche entitled Option One of C$7.5 million (completed 2 Oct 2019 taking common 

ownership interest to 20%) 

o  an  Option  Two  Advance  at  Bathurst’s  discretion  of  up  to  C$5  million  converting  to  Class  B 
preference shares issued (as at 30 June 2020 $2.6 million received reflecting 2.2% ownership 
via Class B preference shares),  

o  a final tranche entitled Tranche Two of C$110 million, which would reduce by any funds advanced 
early under the Option Two Advance, which would then convert to 50% total common ownership 
interest. 

•  As a result of the above funding, Bathurst’s ownership interest in NWP will be as follows:  

o 

o 

o 

initial investment of C$4 million: 8% (completed); 

following completion of the second tranche of C$7.5 million: 20% (completed); and 

following completion of the final tranche of C$110 million, Crown Mountain will be operated as a 
50:50 joint venture between Jameson and Bathurst.  

During the year, Bathurst  exercised  its  Tranche  One  Option  and earned a  20 percent ownership of 
subsidiary  NWP  Coal  Canada  Limited(“NWP)  contributing  C$2.64  million  (A$2.9  million)  towards  the 
completion  of  the  Tranche  One  Option  and  triggering  the  conversion  of  7,500,000  Class  A  Preference 
shares, on a 1:1 ratio to 7,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares in NWP resulting in a total shareholding of 
11,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares (20 percent ownership). 

As at 30 June 2020, Bathurst had met NWP’s request for a portion of the Tranche Two Option Advances, 
providing C$2.6 million (A$2.9 million) and the issuing of 326,182 Class B Preference Shares (2.2 percent 
ownership interest). 

Class  B  Preference  Shares  automatically  convert  into  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  of  NWP  upon  BRL’s 
exercise of the second tranche. 

Bathurst’s  non-controlling  interest  in  NWP  for  the  period  is  a  net  gain  of  $313,815  as  a  result  of  NWP 
reporting a net profit of $1,478,909. 

Set out below is summarised financial information for the subsidiary that has non-controlling interests that 
are material to the Group.  The amounts disclosed for the subsidiary are before inter-company eliminations.
