ANNUAL REPORT 2019 
 
 
 
CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Jupiter Mines, I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the financial year ending 28 February 2019.

I start by congratulating both the Jupiter and Tshipi management teams on an outstanding year. Jupiter successfully navigated its first full 
year as an ASX listed company, and the Tshipi Borwa mine continued from strength to strength, achieving record sales of 3.5 million tonnes 
of manganese ore. Tshipi paid out over ZAR 3 billion in dividends to its shareholders, and Jupiter in turn  paid out $147 million, resulting in a 
dividend yield of 22% on the year-end share price. These distributions equate to a 93% payout ratio, well above the Company’s indicated 
70% dividend policy.

The iron ore market has strengthened recently, spurred by the drive towards higher grade iron ore feed in China and supply issues. Subsequent 
to  the  year  end,  Jupiter  announced  a  strategic  review  of  its  iron  ore  assets.  The  Board  has  always  maintained  that  these  assets  have 
significant  intrinsic  value,  given  especially  their  proximity  to  existing,  and  now  potentially  available,  Esperance  logistics  and  rail  and  port 
infrastructure.

Sound governance remains high on the Board’s agenda. There was a large vote against the 2018 Remuneration Report and Director re-
elections at the July 2018 AGM. Over the year, Jupiter met with various investors and proxy advisors to understand their concerns, and I urge 
you to read the 2019 Remuneration Report which addresses these in full. The Jupiter Board and executive team remuneration terms remain 
unchanged, which we believe to be appropriate for our size and structure and which fully aligns with our high dividend payout policy.

Since our last Annual Report, we have welcomed two new directors onto the Jupiter Board. Ms Melissa North, who has been Jupiter’s Chief 
Financial Officer since 2012, was appointed a director on 14 March 2019, recognising her large contribution to the affairs of the company.  
Mr  Yeongjin  Heo  was  appointed  in  February  2019  as  POSCO’s  representative  after  Mr  Sungwon  Yoon’s  resignation.  I  look  forward  to  their 
contributions to the Company’s progress in years to come. 

Looking ahead, we shall continue to focus on the possible expansion of Tshipi, on possibly increasing Jupiter’s stake in Tshipi and on regional 
consolidation and co-development opportunities within the Kalahari manganese field.

I again thank all shareholders for your continued support of Jupiter and look forward to further successes in the 2020 financial year. 

Yours Faithfully,

Brian Gilbertson
Chairman

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER 

JUPITER MINES LIMITEDOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Jupiter Mines Limited (“Jupiter” or the “Company”) has an interest in 
two areas: a 49.9% share in Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining Proprietary 
Limited (“Tshipi”), which operates the Tshipi Borwa Manganese mine 
(“Tshipi Borwa”) in South Africa; and in Australia, the Central Yilgarn 
Iron Project (“CYIP”), which includes the Mount Ida Magnetite Project 
(“Mount Ida”) and Mount Mason Hematite Project (“Mount Mason”).

TSHIPI BORWA MANGANESE MINE 

The Tshipi Borwa mine is an open-pit manganese mine with an 
integrated ore processing plant located in the Kalahari Manganese 
Fields, in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, which is the 
largest manganese bearing geological formation in the world. Tshipi 
remains the largest manganese mine in South Africa and one of the 
five largest globally, with a long–life resource and low operating costs. 

Figure 1. Tshipi Manganese Mine Location Map

During the year, Tshipi Borwa broke their export volume record when the team shipped 3,511,461 tonnes. Cost of production remained 
steady, averaging USD2.27 per dmtu over the year, up from USD2.09 in FY2018. This was mainly due to the mechanics of increased 
royalties as a result of the higher manganese price realised during FY2019. The Tshipi management team continue to monitor further cost 
optimisation initiatives, as well as converting as much road to rail logistics as allowable within the Transnet network, over and above their 
2.3 million tonne allocation.

Tshipi has consistently increased its production, with 3,448,523 tonnes produced in FY2019. Tshipi’s state of the art rail load-out facility can 
ultimately accommodate 5 million tonnes per annum, and expansion plans are currently being evaluated.

OPER ATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 
With continued strong cash generation, Tshipi declared and paid dividends of ZAR3.215 billion for the FY2019.

Whilst Tshipi was served a Section 54 notice in August 2018, it was testament to the management team that it was lifted within a few days. 
Tshipi continues to reassess where necessary any developments to their processes and operations. This also extends to the improvement of 
the lost time injury rate which increased during the year. Please refer to the Tshipi Environmental, Social and Governance Report below for 
further details.

TSHIPI ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL & GOVERNANCE REPORT

Tshipi is committed to sustainable development and continual improvement to minimise the impact on the environment and providing 
lasting benefits to the surrounding communities. Tshipi places strong emphasis on worker safety and its open-pit operations provides 
inherent safety advantages.

Environment
Tshipi is committed to sound environmental management of its operations to ensure that it complies with regulatory requirements, including 
adopting a comprehensive framework for managing air quality and hydrocarbons and for monitoring noise and water. 

Water management

Tshipi Borwa is situated in a low rainfall, but high evaporation area and as such priority is given to reusing water. Tshipi Borwa has three 
main catchment areas at the mine site; the open pit, the stormwater dam and the dirty water dam. Potable water is supplied by  
Sedibeng Water. 

Ground water seepage into the open pit from wall faces as well as rainwater during storm events is pumped into the dirty water dam. This 
water is used for dust suppression on the roads and in the processing plant. 

Priority is given to reusing dirty water, treated sewage effluent and stormwater collected within the dirty water dam for non-potable, 
process water uses before abstraction of water from clean water sources. 

Approximately 85% of potable water use is recycled into the dirty water dam. 

Solid waste management

All waste is collected, sorted and temporarily stored on site. Contractors remove this waste from site for reuse or disposal at authorised 
waste disposal facilities. As part of Tshipi’s Corporate Social Investment Program, ITSOSO, a local BEE company has been appointed a 
contractor for the removal of all domestic waste.

Power generation

Tshipi Borwa currently runs independently of the national grid. The generator plant consists of six diesel driven generators designed to 
operate in synchronisation with each other. Tshipi is in the process of connecting to the national grid with a new substation to be built. The 
generator plant will then be used for back-up power. The connection to the national grid will decrease operating costs and limit the use of 
diesel.

Agricultural land potential, Ecosystems & Biodiversity and Historical & Archaeological sites

The soil fertility at Tshipi Borwa is low and erodibility is high thereby limiting the agricultural potential of the land. Two protected species 
(Camel Thorn and Grey Camel Thorn) are located at Tshipi Borwa and should any removal/relocation of these species be required, Tshipi 
has the necessary permits in place. There are no historical and archaeological sites at Tshipi Borwa. 

Safety
Tshipi Borwa is a surface, open-pit mine, which is one of the safest types of mining operations. Along with this inherent safety advantage, 
Tshipi places emphasis on worker safety programmes and procedures and implements a comprehensive framework to mitigate risks, 
including risk assessments, a “stop and fix” policy and “near miss” reporting. The below table shows an example the outcomes of the risk 
assessment process and lists the key mining risks identified and control mitigations (not exhaustive).

Six LTI’s occurred during the financial year ended 28 February 2019 (one in the financial year ended 28 February 2018). Tshipi’s management 
have implemented corrective measures in order to reduce the number of LTI’s to a target of zero. 

Health & Corporate Social Responsibility 
Tshipi provides free onsite health screening and medical surveillance to all employees as well as HIV/AIDS testing and counselling and 
monitoring of other chronic diseases. Human resource development is viewed as key to the long-term success of Tshipi. Some of the 
initiatives that Tshipi provides is the sponsorship of adult basic training in the local communities and the provision of scholarships and 
bursaries for students from the local communities to complete trade tests as well as tertiary education. Over 200 people are expected to 
benefit from these programs in 2019.

Social Economic Development
Tshipi Borwa is situated in the Joe Morolong Local Municipality in the Northern Cape and contributes to the John Taolo Gaetsewe District 
Municipality. Tshipi has constant formal and informal engagements with the surrounding communities to ensure that any concerns are 
listened to and resolved. 

Tshipi has undertaken several initiatives to improve the local communities, some of which are listed below:

 ƒ A water infrastructure project which provides the Maphiniki Community with a sustainable water supply

 ƒ A health care clinic in the Heuningvlei area within the Joe Morolong Municipality 

 ƒ Road projects

 ƒ School development projects 

These initiatives are ongoing and new projects are implemented to facilitate the development of the local communities.

South Africa remains the leading manganese suppliers to the seaborne market and accounts for over 35% of global production excluding 
China. An increase in demand over the year can be attributed to changes in Chinese environmental restrictions which increased 
manganese imports.

CENTRAL YILGARN IRON PROJECTS 

The Central Yilgarn Iron Project is located 130km by road northwest of the 
town of Menzies. The CYIP consists of the long-life Mount Ida Magnetite 
project and the smaller Mount Mason Hematite DSO project. Both projects 
are planned around existing infrastructure in the region, including the Leonora 
to Esperance railway line, and the Port of Esperance. 

The flagship Mount Ida Magnetite Project has the high quality JORC mineral 
resources to be a tier one long-life magnetite mine.

The Mount Mason high-grade hematite mineralisation is located 
approximately 12km northwest of the Mount Ida Magnetite Project. It has the 
potential to be a low–cost start-up, near term project with a short payback 
period. 

Both projects remained on care and maintenance with no work being 
undertaken during the financial year. 

The assets hold great value, particularly in the current iron ore market and 
with regional infrastructure availability. The advanced nature of these 
projects, their proximity to established and available infrastructure and the 
size and quality of the mineral resources provides an attractive opportunity 
to commence both high-grade DSO hematite and magnetite concentrate 
production. 

Jupiter again commissioned an independent valuation of its Central Yilgarn 
iron ore assets in line with valuation and accounting standards for the financial 
year. The valuation recommended the Mount Ida Magnetite Project to be valued at between $4 million and $16 million, and the Mount Mason 
DSO Hematite Project valued at between $0.3 million and $1.2 million. Given the positive movements in the iron ore market, it was resolved to 
reverse prior year impairments of $1,177,243. These amounts have been recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income. Further information is provided at Note 13 of the financial statements.

Figure 7: Reconciliation between 28 February 2019 and 31 December 2017 Mineral Resource Estimate in accordance with JORC Code (2012)

The changes to the Mineral Resource estimates are due to mining depletion, an increase in the Measured Mineral Resource extents, a 
downgrade of certain parts of the Measured Mineral Resource to Indicated Mineral Resources and the application of a 5% geological loss. 
These have collectively resulted in the Measured Mineral Resources decreasing by 10.3Mt, Indicated Mineral Resources decreasing by 7.4Mt 
and the Inferred Mineral Resources decreasing by 10.2Mt.   

Historically, a global loss of 9% has been applied to the Ore Reserve estimate and no losses have been applied to the Mineral Resource 
statement. A review of the Mine’s losses has informed the decision to split the 9% global loss into a 5% geological loss (applied in the Mineral 
Resource estimate), a 2% mining loss and a 2% processing loss (applied in the Ore Reserve estimate).

Figure 10: Reconciliation between 28 February 2019 and 31 December 2017 Ore Reserve in accordance with JORC Code (2012)

Depletion due to mining during the period 31 December 2017 to 28 February 2019 was approximately 3.9Mt.

Although the introduction of a geological loss to the Mineral Resource statement resulted in a 5% drop in the Mineral Resources (before 
mining depletion), the decrease did not impact the Ore Reserves or Life of Mine, as the geological loss was accounted for in the prior Ore 
Reserve estimate as a component of a global loss of 9%.

The Measured Mineral Resource classification change would have resulted in a decrease in the Proven Ore Reserves; however, the impact 
was offset by additional drilling completed before 28 February 2019.

The information in this report with respect of the Tshipi mine that relates to Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves estimation is 
based on information compiled by Mr Stewart Nupen and Mr Jonathan Buckley. Mr Jonathan Buckley is a Fellow of the Southern African 
Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Stewart Nupen is a member of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Nupen and 
Mr Buckley are employed by The Mineral Corporation. They have sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and 
type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which being undertaking to qualify as a “Competent Person” as defined in the

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 
 
 
REMUNERATION REPORT 

Letter from Remuneration and Nomination Committee Chairman

Dear Shareholders

I am pleased to present the 2019 Remuneration Report for Jupiter Mines Limited.

The  Committee  and  Board  have  been  working  hard  since  the  Company’s  2018  Annual  General  Meeting  to  fully  understand  the  issues  of 
shareholders and proxy advisors which ultimately led to a vote of over 25% against the 2018 Remuneration Report.

The fact is Jupiter is ultimately a very unique company, which does not often fit within industry or advisor standards and guidelines, and it 
would be inappropriate of Jupiter to conform to some of these. 

Jupiter has maintained a clear mission since listing in April 2018 - that it will remain a single asset company, focused on delivering cash 
to its shareholders. The Company does this via a lean, low-cost remuneration structure, with only two executives. Jupiter currently has a 
market capital of $686 million, with remuneration of total key management personnel a low $3 million1 in comparison.

Please refer to the “Voting at the Company’s last Annual General Meeting and issues resulting from stakeholder engagement” section in the 
following audited Remuneration Report for full details regarding the key issues we have found after engaging with shareholders and proxy 
advisors, and Jupiter’s explanation of its position.

The  Committee  and Board have considered  in full and in detail the  issues  from the  stakeholder  engagement and have  determined  that 
Jupiter’s current remuneration strategy remains appropriate given its structure and size. Both Committee and Board will continue to review 
remuneration levels and structure to ensure consistency with industry and region averages.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all shareholders for their ongoing support of Jupiter. I recommend this remuneration report to all 
shareholders and proxy advisors and welcome suggestions and the opportunity to discuss it with you before or at the Annual General Meeting.

Yours faithfully

Paul Murray
Independent Non-Executive Director
Chairman, Remuneration and Nomination Committee

Report for Non-Executive Directors, Executive Directors and other 
Key Management Personnel, prepared in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main 
headings:

approved by the Board and is responsible for determining and 
reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the

consists of the following components: 

The payment of bonuses and other incentive payments are 
reviewed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee

incentives must be linked to pre-determined performance criteria. 

Short Term Incentive (STI) 

Jupiter performance measures involve the use of annual 
performance objectives. 

The performance measures have been set after consultation with 
the Directors and executives and are specifically tailored to the 
areas where each executive has a level of control. The measures 
target areas the Board believes hold the greatest potential for 
expansion and profit. 

The key performance indicators (KPIs) for the Executive Team are 
summarised as follows: 

Performance areas:

 ƒ

Financial: net profit before tax and impairments and 
distributions to shareholders; and

 ƒ Non-financial: discretionary strategic and/or project based 

objectives set by the Board

Remuneration as % of NPAT1

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee assess the 
appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration 
on a periodic basis by reference to recent employment market 
conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum 
stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and 
Executive Team. 

REMUNER ATION REPORT (AUDITED)

ANNUAL REPORT 2019Voting at the Company’s last Annual General Meeting and issues resulting from stakeholder engagement

Jupiter Mines Limited received 55.16% votes for and 44.84% votes against its Remuneration Report for the financial year ending 28 February 
2018, resulting in a “First Strike” being recorded. 

Jupiter has engaged with shareholders and proxy advisors following the 2018 Annual General Meeting and report the below key issues 
along with the Company’s position:

1. 

Lack of executive long-term performance based incentives

The concerns voiced centred around Jupiter’s CEO, Priyank Thapliyal, lack of long-term performance objectives. 

Prior to the Jupiter IPO, Mr Thapliyal held 21.1 million shares (1.08%), which he increased by purchasing a further 2.1 million shares in the IPO. 
Mr Thapliyal now holds some 33 million shares (1.73%), which, save for 10 million shares allotted as IPO bonus, he has purchased with his own 
personal funds, a substantial portion of his own net assets. Mr Thapliyal has participated in all previous capital raisings and has not sold 
any shares except as part of the Company share buy-backs. Mr Thapliyal is committed to growing his holding in the future using his own 
personal funds.

Whilst Jupiter does not employ any formal long-term incentive plan, the above clearly evidences Mr Thapliyal’s long term performance 
objectives align with those of other Jupiter shareholders.

2. 

Independence and structure of Board

Some groups cited that the current Board structure was inappropriate now Jupiter is ASX listed and an ASX 300 company.

Jupiter considers Paul Murray and Andrew Bell to be independent directors, regardless of their related holdings in Jupiter (being 0.06% and 
0.95% respectively) and neither director has any other relationship with Jupiter. Both Mr Murray and Mr Bell bring valuable financial and 
resources experience to the Jupiter Board and are wholly committed to the Company and Board workload requirements.

Diversity remains a key issue for Jupiter and other ASX 300 companies. Jupiter appointed its first female director, Ms Melissa North, 
subsequent to the year end. Her appointment adds the skills and experience necessary for Jupiter’s long term success and succession 
planning.

It is important to note that Jupiter will appoint any new Board member on their merits and not to solely achieve industry targets or norms. 
Jupiter believes the Board structure suits the current need of the Company and its shareholders but continues to review this on an ongoing 
basis in conjunction with stakeholder feedback.

3.  Suitability of CEO annual bonus

Jupiter’s CEO is currently entitled to an annual bonus equal to 1% of the value of amounts distributed to shareholders each financial year. 

Some groups have expressed a view that this is not directly linked to Mr Thapliyal’s performance, but rather the performance of the Tshipi 
management team and a derivative of the prevailing manganese prices.

Tshipi is the exclusive crown jewel asset of Jupiter for now. On behalf of Jupiter, Mr Thapliyal has been instrumental in the creation of Tshipi 
from a greenfield project into the world class asset that it is now. He is heavily involved in setting the strategic direction of Tshipi and all 
material operational matters. Therefore, his performance in intrinsically linked to that of Tshipi and Jupiter is of the belief his annual incentive 
is reflective of this.

Jupiter aims to be a high yielding investment with a dividend policy of over 70% (currently 93%), therefore the Board believes this type of 
bonus is aligned to the Company’s mission. 

Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth 

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board have regard to the following items in respect of the 
current financial year and the previous four financial years:

REMUNER ATION REPORT (AUDITED)

JUPITER MINES LIMITEDCORPORATE GOVERNANCE 
STATEMENT

1.  Overview

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Company, and it recognises 
the need for the highest standards of ethical behaviour and accountability.  It is committed to administering its corporate governance 
structures to promote integrity and responsible decision-making.  Accordingly, where appropriate the Company has sought to adopt 
the ‘Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations’ (Third Edition) (ASX Recommendations) published by the ASX Corporate 
Governance Council.

The corporate governance principles and practices adopted by the Company may depart from those generally applicable to ASX-listed 
companies under ASX Recommendations where the Board considers compliance is not appropriate having regard to the nature and size of 
the Company’s business and operations.

The Company sets out below its “if not why not” report in relation to those matters of corporate governance where the Company’s practice 
departs from the ASX Recommendations, to the extent that they are currently applicable to the Company.  

This statement is current as at 28 May 2019 and has been approved by the Board.

Principle 1 – Lay solid foundation for management and oversight

1.1

A listed entity should disclose:

Yes

(a)  the respective roles and responsibilities of its 

board and management; and

(b)  those matters expressly reserved to the board 

and those delegated to management.

Jupiter has adopted a Board Charter that discloses the 
role and responsibilities of the Board.  

Under the Board Charter, the Board is responsible for the 
overall operation and stewardship of the Company and, in 
particular, is responsible for:

 ƒ oversight of control and accountability systems; 

 ƒ appointing and removing the Chief Executive Officer, 

Finance Director and Company Secretary;

 ƒ approving the annual operating budget; 

 ƒ approving and monitoring the progress of major capital 

and operating expenditure; 

 ƒ monitoring compliance with all legal and regulatory 

obligations; 

 ƒ

reviewing any risk management system (which may be a 
series of systems established on a per-project basis); 

 ƒ monitoring any executive officer’s performance; and 

 ƒ approving and monitoring financial and other 

reporting to the market, shareholders of the Company 
(Shareholders), employees and other stakeholders.

1.2

A listed entity should:

Yes

(a)  undertake appropriate checks before 

appointing a person, or putting forward to 
security holders a candidate for election, as a 
director; and

(b)  provide security holders with all material 
information in its possession relevant to a 
decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect 
a director.

Jupiter conducts background checks of candidates for the 
position of director of the Company (Director) prior to their 
appointment or nomination for election by Shareholders, 
including checks as to good character, experience, 
education, qualifications, criminal history and bankruptcy.

The Company does not propose to conduct specific 
checks prior to nominating an existing Director for re-
election by Shareholders at a general meeting on the basis 
that each incumbent Director is required to submit to the 
ASX ‘good fame and character’ assessment during the 
Company’s admission to the official list of ASX.

As a matter of practice, Jupiter includes in its notices of 
meeting a brief biography and other material information 
in relation to each Director who stands for election or re-
election, including relevant qualifications and professional 
experience of the nominated Director for consideration by 
Shareholders.

The Company has entered into an employment contract 
with Priyank Thapliyal, the Company’s Chief Executive 
Officer, and Melissa North, the Company’s Finance Director, 
who are engaged on a full-time basis.  The Company 
has entered into letters of engagement with each of its 
non-executive Directors setting out the key terms and 
conditions of their engagement.

A listed entity should have a written agreement with 
each director and senior executive setting out the 
terms of their appointment.

Yes

1.3

1.4

The company secretary of a listed entity should 
be accountable directly to the board, through 
the chair, on all matters to do with the proper 
functioning of the board.

Yes

The Company Secretary reports directly, and is 
accountable, to the Board through the Chairman of the 
Board (Chairman) in relation to all governance matters.

The Company Secretary also advises and supports the 
Board to implement adopted governance procedures 
and co-ordinates the circulation of meeting agendas and 
papers.

1.5

A listed entity should: 

No

(a)  have a diversity policy which includes 

requirements for the board or a relevant 
committee of the board to set measurable 
objectives for achieving gender diversity and 
to assess annually both the objectives and the 
entity’s progress in achieving them;

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

(c)  disclose as at the end of each reporting 

period the measurable objectives for achieving 
gender diversity set by the board or a relevant 
committee of the board in accordance with the 
entity’s diversity policy and its progress towards 
achieving them, and either:

(i) 

the respective proportions of men 

(ii)  and women on the board, in senior 

executive positions and across the whole 
organisation (including how the entity 
has defined “senior executive” for these 
purposes); or

(iii)  if the entity is a “relevant employer” under 
the Workplace Gender Equality Act, the 
entity’s most recent “Gender Equality 
Indicators”, as defined in and published 
under that Act.

Given the Company’s main asset is its interest in the Tshipi 
Borwa Manganese Mine (Tshipi Project), which it holds 
through its indirect 49.9% interest in Tshipi é Ntle, and Jupiter 
itself has few employees, Jupiter has not adopted a formal 
diversity policy at this stage. 

Subsequent to year-end, the Company has appointed its 
first female Director to the Board.

The Company has a policy to select the best available 
officers and staff for each relevant position in a non-
discriminatory manner based on merit.  

Notwithstanding this, the Board respects and values the 
benefits that diversity (e.g. gender, age, ethnicity, cultural 
background, disability and martial/family status etc.) brings 
in relation to expanding the Company’s perspective and 
thereby improving corporate performance, increasing 
Shareholder value and maximising the probability of 
achieving the Company’s objectives.  

The Board is committed to developing a diverse workplace 
where appointments or advancements are made on a fair 
and equitable basis.

1.6

A listed entity should:

Yes

(a)  have and disclose a process for periodically 
evaluating the performance of the board, its 
committees and individual directors; and 

(b)  disclose, in relation to each reporting 

period, whether a performance evaluation 
was undertaken in the reporting period in 
accordance with that process. 

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is 
responsible for the evaluation of the Board’s performance 
and its individual Directors. 

Jupiter has also adopted in its Board Charter a 
commitment to review its own performance at intervals 
considered appropriate by the Chairman.  The same 
performance review mechanism is also present in the Audit 
Committee and Remuneration and Nomination Committee 
Charters.

1.7

A listed entity should:

(a)  have and disclose a process for periodically 
evaluating the performance of its senior 
executives; and

(b)  disclose, in relation to each reporting 

period, whether a performance evaluation 
was undertaken in the reporting period in 
accordance with that process.

Jupiter will continue to disclose if and when it has 
conducted any performance evaluations.

Yes

The Board is responsible for monitoring the performance of 
executive officers.  

The Board has established policies to ensure that Jupiter 
remunerates fairly and responsibly. The Company designed 
its remuneration policy to ensure that the level and 
composition of remuneration is competitive, reasonable 
and appropriate to attract and maintain Directors with 
the requisite skills and experience to guide the Company 
towards achieving its objectives.

Jupiter will continue to disclose if and when it has 
conducted any performance evaluations.

Principle 2 – Structure the board to add value

2.1

The board of a listed entity should:

Yes

(a)  have a nomination committee which:

(i)  has at least three members, a majority of 
whom are independent directors; and

(ii) 

is chaired by an independent director,

and disclose:

(iii)  the charter of the committee;

(iv)  the members of the committee; and

(v)  as at the end of each reporting period, 
the number of times the committee met 
throughout the period and the individual 
attendances of the members at those 
meetings; or

(b)  if it does not have a nomination committee, 

disclose that fact and the processes it employs 
to address board succession issues and to 
ensure that the board has the appropriate 
balance of skills, knowledge, experience, 
independence and diversity to enable it 
to discharge its duties and responsibilities 
effectively.

The Board has established a Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee (RN Committee).  

The RN Committee Charter discloses the RN Committee’s 
role and responsibilities.

The RN Committee presently consists of Paul Murray, 
Andrew Bell and Brian Gilbertson.  Mr Murray and Mr 
Bell are the Company’s only Directors who are both 
independent and non-executive.  Mr Murray is the 
chairman of the RN Committee.

Jupiter will continue to disclose at the end of each 
reporting period the number of times the RN Committee 
met throughout the relevant period.

The RN Committee Charter is available on Jupiter’s 
website at www.jupitermines.com/about-us/corporate-
governance

2.2

A listed entity should have and disclose a board 
skills matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity 
that the board currently has or is looking to achieve 
in its membership.

No

Jupiter does not currently have a skills or diversity matrix in 
relation to its Board members.  The Board considers that 
such a matrix is not necessary given the current state of 
operations. 

The RN Committee is presently responsible for ensuring the 
Directors have the appropriate mix of competencies to 
enable the Board to discharge its responsibilities effectively.

The Board may adopt such a matrix later as the 
Company’s operations evolve.

The Board considers that Mr Paul Murray and Mr Andrew 
Bell are independent Directors because they are free from 
any business or other relationship with the Company that 
could materially interfere with, or reasonably be perceived 
to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of 
their judgement as Directors.  

The Company appointed Mr Murray as a Director on 20 
August 2003 and Mr Bell as a Director on 19 May 2008.

2.3

A listed entity should disclose: 

Yes

(a)  the names of the directors considered by the 

board to be independent directors;

(b)  if the director has an interest, position, 
association or relationship of the type 
described in Box 2.3 but the board is of the 
opinion that it does not compromise the 
independence of the director, the nature of 
interest, position, association or relationship in 
question and an explanation of why the board 
is of that opinion; and

(c)  the length of service of each director.

2.4

A majority of the board of a listed entity should be 
independent directors.

No

2.5

The chair of the board of a listed entity should be 
an independent director and, in particular, should 
not be the same person as the CEO of the entity.

No

A majority of the Board are not independent Directors. Two 
of the Board’s five Directors, being Mr Paul Murray and Mr 
Andrew Bell are considered independent.  

The Company does not consider Mr Brian Gilbertson 
independent because he is the non-executive chairman of, 
and a shareholder in, Gemfields Group Limited (previously 
Pallinghurst Resources Limited), the ultimate parent 
company of Pallinghurst Consolidated (Cayman) Limited 
(“PCCL”), being a substantial Shareholder of the Company. 
Subsequent to year end however, PCCL announced it 
would be selling its entire share in the Company and 
therefore the Company would seek to classify Mr Gilbertson 
as independent thereafter. 

The Company does not consider Mr Yeongjin Heo 
independent because he is the managing director of 
POSCO Australia Pty Ltd, a significant shareholder of 
Jupiter. 

The Company does not consider Mr Priyank Thapliyal 
independent because Jupiter employs him in an executive 
capacity, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

The Company does not consider Ms Melissa North 
independent because Jupiter employs him in an executive 
capacity, as the Company’s Finance Director.

The Company believes that the current structure of the 
Board is the most appropriate given the size and current 
operations of the Company. 

The Chairman, Mr Brian Gilbertson, is not an independent 
Director.  The Board believes an independent non-
executive Chairman is not necessary as Mr Gilbertson’s 
experience and industry knowledge makes him the most 
appropriate person to lead the Board at this time.  

As stated in 2.4 above, Mr Gilbertson will be recognised as 
independent subsequent to PCCL’s sale of its interest in the 
Company.

Mr Priyank Thapliyal is the Chief Executive Officer and is not 
the Chairman.

A listed entity should have a program for inducting 
new directors and provide appropriate professional 
development opportunities for directors to develop 
and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to 
perform their role as directors effectively.

Yes

Induction program

When a Director is appointed, they receive with their 
appointment letter a copy of the Company’s constitution, 
corporate governance policies and charters.  The contents 
of this due diligence pack contain sufficient information 
to allow the new Director to gain an understanding of the 
rights, duties, responsibilities and role of the Board, Board 
committees and the executive team.

The Company Secretary arranges for new Directors to 
undertake an induction program to enable them to gain an 
understanding of: 

 ƒ

 ƒ

the Company’s operations and the industry sectors in 
which it operates; 

the Company’s financial, strategic, operational and risk 
management position; 

 ƒ

their rights, duties and responsibilities; and 

 ƒ any other relevant information. 

As part of this induction program, a new Director will meet 
with all incumbent Directors (if this has not already taken 
place).

Director development

In order to achieve continuing improvement in Board 
performance, all Directors are encouraged to undergo 
continual professional development.

Principle 3 – Act ethically and responsibly

3.1

A listed entity should have a code of conduct for 
its directors, senior executives and employees and 
disclose that code or a summary of it.

Yes

The Board believes that the success of Jupiter has been, 
and will continue to be, enhanced by a strong ethical 
culture within the organisation. 

Jupiter has a Code of Conduct and Ethics (Code) which 
sets the standards that all Directors, officers, employees, 
consultants and contractors and all other people 
representing the Company are expected to comply with in 
relation to all commercial operations. 

The Code also outlines the procedure for reporting any 
breaches of the Code and the possible disciplinary action 
the Company may take in respect of any breaches.

In addition to their obligations under the Corporations 
Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) in relation to inside 
information, all Directors, employees and consultants have 
a duty of confidentiality to Jupiter in relation to confidential 
information they possess. 

In fulfilling their duties, each Director dealing with corporate 
governance matters may obtain independent professional 
advice at Jupiter’s expense after consultation with the 
Chairman. 

The Company ensures that all incumbent and new 
personnel have a copy of the Code. It is also available

Yes

The Company has established an Audit Committee to 
assist the Board in its oversight responsibilities in relation 
to financial management and reporting, external audit 
and financial risk management of the Company and 
safeguarding the independence of the external auditor.  

The Audit Committee Charter sets out the functions, 
operating mechanisms and responsibilities of the Audit 
Committee.

The Audit Committee presently consists of Paul Murray, 
Andrew Bell and Mr Yeongjin Heo. Mr Murray and Mr Bell are 
the Company’s only Directors who are both independent 
and non-executive.  Mr Murray acts as the chairman of the 
Audit Committee. 

The Audit Committee Charter also requires that all 
committee members have a working familiarity with basic 
accounting and finance practices and that at least one 
member have financial expertise.

A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on 
Jupiter’s website at www.jupitermines.com/about-us/
corporate-governance

Yes

As a matter of practice, Jupiter obtains declarations 
from its Chief Executive Officer and Finance Director 
substantially in the form referred to in Recommendation 4.2 
before approving its financial statements. 

(a)  should have an audit committee which: 

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

(ii) 

is chaired by an independent director, who 
is not the chair of the board, 

and disclose: 

(iii)  the charter of the committee; 

(iv)  the relevant qualifications and experience 
of the members of the committee; and 

(v) 

in relation to each reporting period, the 
number of times the committee met 
throughout the period and the individual 
attendances of the members at those 
meetings, or

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

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

A listed entity that has an AGM should ensure that 
its external auditor attends its AGM and is available

Jupiter supports Shareholder participation in general 
meetings and seeks to provide appropriate mechanisms 
for such participation, including by ensuring that meetings 
are held at convenient times and places to encourage 
Shareholder participation. 

In preparing for general meetings, Jupiter drafts the 
notice of meeting and related explanatory information so 
that they provide all of the information that is relevant to 
Shareholders in making decisions on matters to be voted 
on by them at the meeting.  This information is presented 
clearly and concisely so that it is easy to understand and 
not ambiguous. 

Jupiter uses general meetings as a tool to effectively 
communicate with Shareholders and allow Shareholders 
a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of the Board of 
Directors and to participate in the meeting. 

Mechanisms for encouraging and facilitating Shareholder 
participation are reviewed regularly to encourage the 
highest level of Shareholder participation. 

Jupiter considers that communicating with Shareholders 
by electronic means is an efficient way to distribute 
information in a timely and convenient manner. 

Jupiter provides new Shareholders with the option to 
receive communications from Jupiter electronically and 
encourages them to do so.  Existing Shareholders are also 
encouraged to request communications electronically. 

Jupiter will provide all Shareholders that have opted to 
receive communications electronically with notifications 
when it uploads an announcement or other communication

Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk

7.1

The board should: 

(a)  have a committee or committees to oversee 

risk, each of which: 

(i)  has at least three members, a majority of 
whom are independent directors; and 

(ii) 

is chaired by an independent director,

and disclose: 

(iii)  the charter of the committee; 

(iv)  the members of the committee; and 

(v)  as at the end of each reporting period, 
the number of times the committee met 
throughout the period and the individual 
attendances of the members at those 
meetings; or 

(b)  if it does not have a risk committee or 

committees that satisfy (a) above, disclose 
that fact and the processes it employs for 
overseeing the entity’s risk management 
framework.

No

Jupiter does not have a separate risk management 
committee. 

The Board as a whole is broadly responsible for risk 
management, including the review of any risk management 
system or series of systems that may be implemented by 
management on a per-project basis. The Audit Committee 
is responsible for the management of financial risk.

The Board considers that, given the Company’s current 
scope of operations and the fact that only Mr Thapliyal 
holds an executive position, efficiencies or other benefits 
would not be gained by establishing a separate risk 
management committee at present.

As the Company’s operations evolve, the Board will

7.4

A listed entity should disclose whether it has any

Yes

The Board has responsibility for the monitoring of

management framework on an annual basis to ensure that 
the framework continues to be effective.

The Company will continue to disclose the outcome of the 
annual risk management review in its annual reports.

Jupiter does not currently have an internal audit function.  
This function is undertaken by relevant staff under the 
direction of the Board.

The Company has adopted internal control procedures, 
including the following:

 ƒ

the Company has authorisation limits in place for 
expenditure and payments;  

 ƒ a Director or senior manager must not approve a 

payment to themselves or a related party, other than 
standard salary/directors fees in accordance with their 
Board approved remuneration;

 ƒ

 ƒ

the Company prepares cash flow forecasts which 
include materiality thresholds and which are regularly 
reviewed; and

the Company regularly reviews its other financial 
materiality thresholds. 

The Board and senior management are charged 
with evaluating and considering improvements to 
the Company’s risk management and internal control 
processes on an ongoing basis.

The Board considers that an internal audit function is not 
currently necessary given the current size and scope of the 
Company’s operations. 

As the Company’s operations evolve, the Board will 
reconsider the appropriateness of adopting an internal 
audit function.

Jupiter’s primary business is the production and export 
of manganese via its 49.9% beneficial interest in the Tshipi 
Project in South Africa.  As such, the Company is exposed

includes, but is not limited to, the following key risks:

 ƒ

 ƒ

fluctuations in the price of manganese ore;

fluctuations in third party contractor costs;

 ƒ any reduction in the global demand for steel;

 ƒ

risks arising from mining operations being concentrated 
at one mine;

 ƒ economic, political or social instability in South Africa

8.3

A listed entity should separately disclose its policies 
and practices regarding the remuneration of 
non-executive directors and the remuneration of 
executive directors and other senior executives.

Yes

Jupiter’s policies and practices regarding the remuneration 
of executive and non-executive Directors and other 
senior executives will be set out in the remuneration report 
contained in Jupiter’s annual report for each financial year.  

Yes

A listed entity which has an equity-based 
remuneration scheme should have a policy on 
whether participants are permitted to enter into 
transactions (whether through the use of derivatives 
or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of 
participating in the scheme; and disclose that 
policy or a summary of it.

Furthermore, Jupiter’s remuneration policies and practices 
are subject to review by the RN Committee, as set out in 
the Company’s RN Committee Charter.

Jupiter’s Share Trading Policy states the requirements 
for all Directors, executives, employees, contractors and 
consultants of the Company dealing in the Company’s 
Securities.

The policy provides that Directors and senior executives 
must not at any time enter into a transaction (e.g. writing a 
call option) that operates or is intended to operate to limit 
the economic risk of holdings of unvested Jupiter securities 
under any equity-based remuneration schemes offered by 
the Company.

STATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOWS

JUPITER MINES LIMITEDNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2019

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent 
those of Jupiter Mines Limited (“Jupiter”) and its Controlled Entities 
(the “Consolidated Group” or “Group”).

The principal activities of Jupiter during the year have been 
investment in the operating Tshipi Borwa Manganese Mine in 
South Africa and the sale of manganese ore.

The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Jupiter 
Mines Limited, have not been presented within this financial report 
as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements were authorised and issued by the Board 
of Directors on 28 May 2019.

Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have 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. Material 
accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial 
report are presented below and have been consistently applied 
unless otherwise stated.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-Group 
balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated 
Group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies 
of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure 
consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

Business Combinations

The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for 
business combinations.  The consideration transferred by the 
Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the 
sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, 
liabilities incurred, and the equity interests issued by the Group, 
which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from 
a contingent consideration arrangement.  Acquisition costs are 
expensed as incurred.

The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed in a business combination regardless of whether they 
have been previously recognised in the acquiree’s financial 
statements prior to the acquisition.  Assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair 
values.  

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable 
intangible assets.  It is calculated as the excess of the sum of: (a) 
fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognised amount 
of any non-controlling interest in the acquire, and (c) acquisition-
date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over 
the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets.  If the 
fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated 
above, the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is 
recognised in profit or loss immediately.  

(b)  Interests in Joint Ventures

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. All amounts in the financial 
report have been rounded to the nearest dollar. Tables may not 
cast in all instances due to rounding.

The Group acquired an interest in Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining 
Proprietary Limited (“Tshipi”), a joint venture entity, in October 2010. 
The Group’s accounting policy for joint ventures was considered 
by the Directors as part of the deliberation on the Tshipi 
acquisition, and had not been formally considered or articulated 
previously.

Jupiter Mines Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of 
preparing the financial statements.

(a)  Principles of Consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent 
Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 28 February 2019. The 
parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to 
variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and 
has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the 
subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 28 February. 
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 9 to the financial 
statements.

A joint venture is an arrangement that the Group controls jointly 
with one or more other investors, and over which the Group has 
rights to a share of the arrangement’s net assets rather than 
direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying 
liabilities.

Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity 
method.

Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the Group’s 
share in the associate or joint venture is not recognised separately 
and is included in the  amount recognised as investment.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4 5

ANNUAL REPORT 2019The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint 
ventures is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s 
share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the 
associate and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure 
consistency with the accounting policies of the Group.

(d)  Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost as 
indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation 
and impairment losses.

Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group 
and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent 
of the Group’s interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses 
are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment. 

(c)  Income Tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current 
income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax 
payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are 
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 
unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or 
credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that 
are recognised outside profit or loss.

Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is 
recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, 
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, and 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 legally 
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) a legally enforceable right of set-
off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate 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 
years in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or 
liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

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.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Consolidated 
Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing 
costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable 
overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or 
recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item 
will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured 
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income 
during the financial year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on 
a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the Consolidated 
Group 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

Depreciation Rate

Leasehold improvements

Furniture & fittings

Plant & equipment:

Motor vehicles

Site equipment

20.00%

33.33%

12.50%

33.33%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and 
adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its 
recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than 
its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing 
proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses 
are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUPITER MINES LIMITED(e)  Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

The adoption of AASB 9 has mostly impacted the following areas:

The application of the Group’s accounting policy for exploration 
and evaluation expenditure requires judgment in determining 
whether it is likely that future economic benefits are likely either 
from future exploitation or sale or where activities have not 
reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the 
existence of reserves. The determination of a Joint Ore Reserves 
Committee (JORC) resource is itself an estimation process that 
requires varying degrees of uncertainty depending on sub-
classification and these estimates directly impact the point of 
deferral of exploration and evaluation expenditure. The deferral 
policy requires management to make certain estimates and 
assumptions about future events or circumstances, in particular 
whether an economically viable extraction operation can be 
established. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new 
information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalised, 
information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of 
expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalised is written off in the 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in 
the year when the new information becomes available.

(f)  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 is transferred to entities in the Consolidated 
Group, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recognising 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 year.

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 recognised as 
expenses in the years in which they are incurred.

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a 
liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(g)  Financial Instruments

AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139’s “Financial 
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” requirements. 
It makes major changes to the previous guidance on the 
classification and measurement of financial assets and introduces 
an “expected credit loss” model for impairment of financial assets.

When adopting AASB 9, the Group elected not to restate prior 
periods. Rather differences, if any, arising from the adoption of 
AASB 9 in relation to classification, measurement, and impairment 
are recognised in opening retained earnings as at 1 March 2018.

 ƒ

 ƒ

the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial 
assets. Management holds most financial assets to hold 
and collect the associated cash flows. However, investments 
previously classified as available-for-sale (AFS) investments 
are now measured at fair value through other comprehensive 
income. 

the impairment of financial assets applying the expected 
credit loss model. This applies now to the Group’s trade 
receivables. For trade receivables, the Group applies a 
simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit losses 
as these items do not have a significant financing component.

the measurement of equity investments in other listed entities. 
These investments were classified as available-for-sale under 
AASB 139. The Group chose to make the irrevocable election 
on transition to classify these investments as Equity FVTOCI as 
permitted by AASB 9.

the recognition of gains and losses arising from the Group’s 
from own credit risk. The Group continues to elect the fair value 
option for any financial liabilities which means that fair value 
movements from changes in the Group’s own credit risk would 
be presented in other comprehensive income rather than profit 
or loss.

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

Financial assets are classified according to their business model 
and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. 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).

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial 
assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging 
instruments, are classified into the following two categories: 

 ƒ

Financial assets at amortised cost

 ƒ Equity instruments at FVTOCI

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANNUAL REPORT 2019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.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely 
payments of principal and interest and held within a business 
model of ‘hold to collect’ contractual cash flows are accounted 
for at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The 
Group’s trade and most other receivables fall into this category 
of financial instruments as well as bonds that were previously 
classified as held-to-maturity under AASB 139. 

Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive 
income (Equity FVTOCI)

Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are 
eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at 
FVTOCI. Under this category, subsequent movements in fair value 
are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never 
reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend income is taken to profit or 
loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital.

Trade and other receivables

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for 
trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance at 
the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using 
this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical experience, 
external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate 
the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. The Group 
allows 1% for amounts that are 30 to 60 days past due, 1.5% for 
amounts that are between 60 and 90 days past due and writes 
off fully any amounts that are more than 90 days past due.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Group recognises 12 months expected credit losses for 
financial assets at FVTOCI. As most of these instruments have a 
high credit rating, the likelihood of default is deemed to be small. 
However, at each reporting date the Group assesses whether 
there has been a significant increase in the credit risk of the 
instrument.

In assessing these risks, the Group relies on readily available 
information such as the credit ratings issued by the major credit 
rating agencies for the respective asset. The Group only holds 
simple financial instruments for which specific credit ratings are 
usually available. In the unlikely event that there is no or only 
little information on factors influencing the ratings of the asset 
available, the Group would aggregate similar instruments into 
a portfolio to assess on this basis whether there has been a 
significant increase in credit risk.

In addition, the Group considers other indicators such as adverse 
changes in business, economic or financial conditions that 
could affect the borrower’s ability to meet its debt obligation or 
unexpected changes in the borrowers operating results.

Should any of these indicators imply a significant increase in the 
instrument’s credit risk, the Group recognises for this instrument or 
class of instruments the lifetime expected credit losses.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

As the accounting for financial liabilities remains largely 
unchanged from AASB 139, the Group’s financial liabilities were not 
impacted by the adoption of AASB 9. However, for completeness, 
the accounting policy is disclosed below.

The Group’s financial liabilities include only trade and other 
payables.

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. 

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.

these investments as Equity FVTOCI as permitted by AASB 9 as the shares are not held for trading purposes.

(h)   Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At each reporting date, the Group 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 the 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an 
individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible 
assets with indefinite lives.

(i)  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 wholly within 
one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid 
when the liability is settled. 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. Those cash flows 
are discounted using market yields on high quality corporate bonds 
with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.

(j) 

 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive 
obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that 
an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be 
reliably measured.

(k)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at 
call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original 
maturities of three months or less, less credit card facilities used. Bank 
overdrafts are shown as short-term borrowings in liabilities.

(l)  Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are initially measured at their transaction price.  
Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method.

The Group makes use of the simplified approach in accounting for 
trade and other receivables and records the loss allowance at the 
amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. 

At each reporting date, the Branch recognises the change in 
 lifetime expected credit losses in profit or loss as an impairment  
gain or loss. 

(m)  Revenue and Other Income

AASB 15 replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts 
and several revenue-related Interpretations. AASB 15 Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers outlines a single comprehensive model 
of accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers 
and supersedes the previous revenue recognition criteria in AASB 
118 Revenue. The core principle is that an entity recognises revenue 
based on a five-step model to reflect the transfer of goods or 
services, measured at the amount to which the Branch expects to be 
entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. 

The application of the five-step model in AASB 15 requires the exercise 
of judgement, considering all facts and circumstances relevant to 
each contract - the relevant judgements have been disclosed in 
note 1. The standard also provides guidance on the accounting 
treatment of costs attributable to fulfilling the contract, as well as the 
incremental costs of obtaining the contract. 

In terms of AASB 15, the Branch identifies each separate performance 
obligation contained in the contract and allocates a portion of 
the contract revenue to each performance obligation. Revenue is 
then only recognised on the satisfaction of each of the relevant 
performance obligations. Revenue from contracts with customers is 
recognised when control is transferred to the customer. 

AASB 15 replaces AASB 118 and all related amendments and 
interpretations. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers has 
been adopted using the full retrospective method.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate 
method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in 
the instrument.

Full details are provided at Note 2.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax 
(GST).

ANNUAL REPORT 2019(n)  Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, 
construction or production of assets that necessarily take a 
substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or 
sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the 
assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit 
or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which 
they are incurred.

activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable 
assessment of the existence of reserves. This policy requires 
management to make certain estimates and assumptions as 
to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an 
economically viable extraction operation can be established. 
Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new 
information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the 
expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery 
of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount 
will be written off to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income. 

(o)  Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Key judgements – revenue from contracts with customers

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 Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of 
GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable 
from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or 
payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components 
of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which 
are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as 
operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or 
payments to suppliers.

(p)   Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables are carried at cost and due to their 
short term nature they are not discounted. They represent 
liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to 
the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when 
Jupiter becomes obliged to make future payments in respect 
of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are 
unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(q)  Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures 
have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the 
current financial period.

(r)  Critical Accounting Estimates and 

Judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated 
into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best 
available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable 
expectation of future events and are based on current trends and 
economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key estimates – Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by 
evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to 
impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the 
recoverable amount of the asset is determined.

Key judgements – Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation 
expenditure results in certain items of expenditure being 
capitalised for an area of interest where it is considered likely 
to be recoverable by future exploitation or sale or where the 

The Jupiter Mines Limited (External Profit Company) (“ SA Branch”) 
acted as an agent, as opposed to a principal, for all sales 
contracts entered into during the financial year. In determining 
whether the SA Branch acted as an agent, management 
considered elements of control and risks assumed by the SA 
Branch. The SA Branch earned a fixed percentage marketing fee 
for the sales contracts, assumed limited risks (inventory, pricing) and 
although the SA Branch obtained legal title of the goods this was 
only obtained momentarily and did not demonstrate that the SA 
Branch controlled the goods. Based on these factors, the Branch 
considered it was acting in an agency relationship.

The revenue and associated trade receivables and trade payables 
balances are calculated based on management’s best estimate 
of the metal and moisture content of the ore shipped to customers. 
Extensive sampling and surveying is performed prior to shipment 
in an effort to ensure the accuracy of these estimations. Due to 
the inherent limitations of sampling and the method of transport, 
variances in the metal and moisture content measured on arrival 
at the discharge port may be different from those estimated by 
management on the date of the sale. Variances in the metal and 
moisture content of the shipped ore on arrival at the discharge port 
will have an impact on the profitability of the SA Branch.

(s)   Foreign Currency Translation

(i)  Functional and presentation currency

The functional and presentation currency of Jupiter and its 
subsidiaries is Australian dollars ($). The presentation and 
functional currency for the interest in Tshipi is the South African 
Rand.

The results are translated into Australian dollars for disclosure in 
Jupiter’s consolidated accounts.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost 
in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at 
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.

(ii)  Translation of interest in Joint Venture functional currency 

to presentation currency

The results of the South African Joint Venture interest are 
translated into Australian dollars using an average rate over the 
period of the transactions. Assets and liabilities are translated at 
exchange rates prevailing at reporting dates.

The “SA Branch” is registered in South Africa for the purpose of the 
sale and export of Jupiter’s share of Tshipi manganese ore.

The negative sales revenue and cost of sales in FY2018 were due 
to adjustments made at between load port and discharge port. 
From 1 March 2017, Jupiter earned only a marketing fee on an 
agency basis, meaning ore is purchased by Jupiter Mines (South 
Africa) via Jupiter Mines (Australia).

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers outlines a single 
comprehensive model of accounting for revenue arising from 
contracts with customers and supersedes the previous revenue 
recognition criteria in AASB 118 Revenue. The core principle is 
that an entity recognises revenue based on a five-step model to 
reflect the transfer of goods or services, measured at the amount 
to which the SA Branch expects to be entitled to in exchange for 
those goods or services. 

The application of the five-step model in AASB 15 requires the 
exercise of judgement, considering all facts and circumstances 
relevant to each contract - the relevant judgements have been 
disclosed in note 1. The standard also provides guidance on the 
accounting treatment of costs attributable to fulfilling the contract, 
as well as the incremental costs of obtaining the contract. 

In terms of AASB 15, the SA Branch identifies each separate 
performance obligation contained in the contract and allocates a 
portion of the contract revenue to each performance obligation. 
Revenue is then only recognised on the satisfaction of each of 
the relevant performance obligations. Revenue from contracts 
with customers is recognised when control is transferred to the 
customer. 

AASB 15 replaces AASB 118 and all related amendments and 
interpretations. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
has been adopted using the full retrospective method.

Sale of Manganese Ore

The SA Branch undertook an assessment on the impact of the 
new revenue standard by reviewing the contractual terms of 
manganese ore sale agreements. The primary focus was to 
identify whether the SA Branch is acting in a principle or agency 
capacity on the basis of whether the SA Branch controls the 
manganese ore before it is transferred to the customer. 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

5 1

ANNUAL REPORT 2019Marketing fee income is determined based on the final metal and 
moisture content at the discharge port. On the bill of lading date, 
the provisional marketing fee income is recognised based on the 
load port metal and moisture content which is considered to be 
the best estimate. Once the final metal and moisture content 
is determined on finalisation of the sales transaction, typically 
between 2 and 3 months later, the marketing fee income initially 
recognised is adjusted subsequently. At the reporting period, the 
fair value of the original marketing fee income and associated 
receivable is adjusted by reference to the best estimate of the 
actual metal and moisture content. The changes in fair value are 
recorded as an adjustment to marketing fee income. 

On the bill of lading date, there is no uncertainty regarding 
Jupiter’s entitlement to the marketing fee as their responsibilities 
under the marketing fee arrangement have been performed and 
they have an unconditional right to the marketing fee on this 
date. The marketing fee amount receivable will only be adjusted 
for the final metal and moisture content, as stated above. Jupiter 
invoices Tshipi for the marketing fee once the final metal and 
moisture content can be determined and the customer has paid 
Tshipi for the final invoice. The payment is typically three months 
after the marketing fee income was first recognised and the 
contract is therefore considered to be short term in nature.

Under AASB 15, the accounting for marketing fee income 
will remain unchanged in that marketing fee income will be 
recognised when control passes to the customer, which will 
continue to be the date of delivery when risks and rewards passed 
to the customer under the previous accounting standard AASB 118.

The adoption of the standard did not impact profit or loss for 
the period, there was no impact on the statement of cash flows 
and there was no required adjustment to the opening balance of 
retained earnings.  

Given the Branch only takes control of the goods momentarily 
before control passes to the customer as well as the limited risks 
which the Branch assumes the Branch is considered to be acting 
in an agency capacity. 

The nature of the SA Branch’s contracts are to arrange for the 
goods (manganese ore) to be provided by another party (Tshipi) 
and therefore the SA Branch is acting in an agency capacity, 
facilitating the sale between Tshipi and the customer. Under 
the previous accounting standard, AASB 118, all sales contracts 
entered into, where the purchase price of the manganese ore was 
equal to the selling price, the SA Branch was also considered to 
have been acting in an agency capacity.  

Marketing Fee Income

The SA Branch receives a fixed commission on each sale based 
on the FOB selling price. The amount and timing of revenue to 
be recognised from marketing fee income under AASB 15 was 
considered below against the five step model:

 ƒ There is a contract with Tshipi, for each parcel sold, which 

entitles the SA Branch to receive the commission. The contract 
has commercial substance and both parties are committed to 
performing their obligations; 

 ƒ The performance obligation for the SA Branch in respect to 
each sale is that the SA Branch needs to facilitate the sale 
between the customer and Tshipi;

 ƒ The transaction price can be determined as it is calculated as 

a fixed percentage of the FOB selling price; 

 ƒ There is only one performance obligation in the contract and 
therefore the whole transaction price has been allocated to 
this performance obligation; 

 ƒ Revenue is recognised when the performance obligation is 
satisfied. The performance obligation of the SA Branch is 
considered to be satisfied when control passes from Tshipi to 
the customer. Control passes to the customer when the ore 
passes over the rail of the vessel (bill of lading date), this is 
when the customer has the obligation to pay for the goods 
transferred and when risk and rewards of ownership are 
transferred to the customer.

The equity method of accounting under AASB 128 and AASB 112 for income taxes requires the recording of an income tax expense and a 
deferred tax liability for changes in the equity of an investment where a gain on the sale of the investment could be subject to tax.

As a result of the migration to Australia during the year of Jupiter Kalahari SA (now Jupiter Kalahari Pty Ltd), the controlled entity which 
holds the investment in Tshipi e Ntle Manganese Mining Proprietary Limited, a future gain arising on disposal of the investment will now be 
prima facie be subject to tax.

Accordingly, whilst the Group is not intending to realise its investment, it is required to record a current year income tax expense and an 
increase in the deferred tax liability of $47,850,162, which is the amount of tax referrable to the cumulative net prior years’ and current years’ 
increase in the equity value of the investment. Notwithstanding the recognition of the above non-cash charge, the Group has determined 
that that migration of Jupiter Kalahari to Australia will result in an improved Group corporate structure for shareholders.

All of the Group’s trade and other receivables have been reviewed for indicators of impairment. It was found that the Group’s exposure to 
bad debts is not significant. Due to the short term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair 
value.

Details regarding the foreign exchange and interest rate risk exposure are disclosed in Note 26. 

The majority of trade receivables represent amounts receivable by Jupiter South Africa branch relating to the sale of manganese ore to 
third party customers. Refer to Note 2 for further details.

Jupiter again commissioned an independent valuation of its iron ore assets in line with valuation and accounting standards. The valuation 
recommended the Mount Ida Magnetite Project to be valued at between $4 million and $16 million, and the Mount Mason DSO Hematite 
Project valued at between $0.3 million and $0.8 million. After examining market conditions, the Board has resolved to adopt valuations of 
$10 million for Mount Ida and $0.8 million for Mount Mason and recognised a reversal of prior year impairments of $1,012,430 and $164,813 
million respectively. These amounts have been recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

has considered its Tshipi investment with regards to impairments indicators under AASB 136 and both internal and external sources of information 
and does not believe any indicators to exist. Hence an independent valuation has not been commissioned for the 2019 financial year.

This is made up of a non-cancellable lease of 2 years however it can be subleased (with prior consent of Lessor). Amounts include rent, 
outgoings and cleaning with 4.5% annual rent review increase. It does not take into account reduced guarantees or returned deposits 
or incentives. Figures based on 1 year and 3 months (1 March 2019 to 31 May 2020) which is the end of the lease. The expense recognised 
for the operating lease was $54,809 (2018: $54,960). The property lease is non-cancellable for two years, with rent payable monthly in 
advance.

Expenditure Commitments

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to mining tenements, the Company and Group are required to perform minimum work to meet 
the requirements specified by various State governments. These obligations can be reduced by selective relinquishment of exploration 
tenure or application for expenditure exemptions. Due to the nature of the Company and Group’s operations in exploring and evaluating 
areas of interest, it is very difficult to forecast the nature and amount of future expenditure. It is anticipated that expenditure commitments 
for the next twelve months will be tenement rentals of $503,888 (2018: $474,484) and exploration expenditure of $676,100 (2018: $676,100).

NOTE 21: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ASSETS

Contingent liabilities

The parent entity has provided guarantees to third parties in relation to the performance and obligations of controlled entities in respect of 
banking facilities. At reporting date, the value of these guarantees and facilities are $57,884 (2018: $57,884). Total utilised at reporting date 
was $57,884 (2018: $57,884).

ANNUAL REPORT 2019NOTE 22: SEGMENT REPORTING 

The Group operates in the mining industry. The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed 
and used by the chief operating decision makers (the Board of Directors and key management) in assessing performance and determining 
the allocation of resources.

The Group segments are structured primarily on the basis of its exploration and production interests. These are considered to be the 
Central Yilgarn Iron Exploration Project (Iron Ore), located in Australia, the producing Tshipi Mine (Manganese) located in South Africa, and 
Jupiter’s South African branch which carries out the sale of manganese ore. The remaining items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities 
relate to corporate operations. Any transactions between reportable segments have been offset for these purposes.

Segment information for the reporting period is as follows:

Financial Risk Management Policies

The Directors monitor the Group’s financial risk management policies and exposures and approves financial transactions.

The Directors’ overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, while minimising potential adverse 
effects on financial performance. Its functions include the review of credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate 
risk, liquidity risk and equity price risk.

(a)  Credit Risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that 
could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of systems for the approval, 
granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of 
significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound  
credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment.

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating, or in entities that the 
Directors have otherwise cleared as being financially sound.

Credit Risk Exposures

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at reporting date, excluding the value of any collateral or 
other security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the 
statement of financial position. Credit risk also arises through the provision of financial guarantees, as approved at Board level, given to 
parties securing the liabilities of certain subsidiaries.

Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts 
are as detailed in Note 7.

There are no amounts of collateral held as security in respect of trade and other receivables.

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments 
entered into by the Consolidated Group.

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by investing cash with major financial institutions in 
both cash on deposit and term deposit accounts. Interest rates on major deposits that are re-invested are at a fixed rate on a monthly 
basis.

(b)  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations 
related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

 ƒ preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;

 ƒ monitoring undrawn credit facilities;

 ƒ obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

 ƒ maintaining a reputable credit profile;

 ƒ managing credit risk related to financial assets; and

 ƒ only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation 

profile of financial assets.

The Group has no significant exposure to liquidity risk due to the level of cash and cash equivalents detailed at Note 6. The Group 
manages liquidity risk by monitoring immediate and forecast cash requirements and ensuring adequate cash reserves are maintained.

Market risk arises from the Groups use of interest bearing and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value of future 
cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange (currency risk) or 
other market factors (other price risk).

(i) 

Interest rate risk

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a 
future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The financial assets and 
financial liabilities with exposure to interest rate risk are detailed below:

ANNUAL REPORT 2019(ii)  Foreign exchange risk 

Jupiter operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to 
the Australian Dollar and South African Rand. Jupiter’s exposure to currency risk is on cash, trade receivables, and borrowings. Foreign 
currency risk is the risk of exposure to transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the Australian dollar. The carrying 
amounts of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in four different currencies as set out below:

72,848,680

(iii)  Other price risk

Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market 
prices largely due to demand and supply factors for commodities. As the Group does not derive revenue from sale of products, the effect 
on profit and equity as a result of changes in the price risk is not considered material. The fair value of the mining projects will be impacted 
by commodity price changes (predominantly iron ore, nickel and uranium) and could impact future revenues once operational. However, 
management monitors current and projected commodity prices.

(iv)  Summarised sensitivity analysis

The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Jupiter Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities to interest rate risk and foreign 
exchange risk.

Management have reviewed interest rate and foreign exchange risk and determined the rates applied to be appropriate.

The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified using a fair value 
hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:

Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or 
indirectly (derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Members of Jupiter Mines Limited  

Report on the audit of the financial report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Jupiter Mines Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 28 February 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash 
flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated 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 28 February 2019 and of its performance for the year 

ended on that date; 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.

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 matter

The Group recognises this investment as a joint venture using 
the equity method in accordance with AASB 128: Investment 
in Associates and Joint Ventures, and is considered for 
impairment in the event of significant or prolong decline in

Management assesses impairment on an annual basis in 
accordance with AASB 136 “Impairment of Assets”.  

This area is a key audit matter due to the significant balance 
carried by the Group that management have assess using 
estimates and judgements that required specific valuation 
expertise and analysis.  

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

  Considering the appropriateness of the method applied by 

the Group to perform the valuation of the investment

assessment made by the management expert;

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 28 February 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 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.

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the 
Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report  
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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.  

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance 
Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our 
auditor’s report.
