Chairman’s Letter
Dear Stakeholders of Kingston Resources Limited
Welcome to the Annual Financial Report for 2020.
A year of record gold prices, a global health pandemic leading to closed borders, unparalleled financial
stimulus, zero real investment returns for the most highly rated paper and international trade and political
actions and reactions. Of course this list could go on, however, my intention is not to be comprehensive, rather
to put a background in place.
Given the uncertain and volatile conditions in financial markets, I was extremely pleased to see the response
to our capital raisings in the period May to July 2020. Both the Placement and the SPP were oversubscribed,
and the share price has held up well in the aftermarket. Thank you to all shareholders who participated and
demonstrated your support for the company.
Operating an exploration business In remote locations is always logistically challenging. Since April 2020
those challenges have demanded innovative responses fully considered to protect our hosts in PNG, our staff
and contractors and our assets. I have been extremely proud of the commitment of our senior management
team in accepting the uncertainties facing them and refining our strategies and timetables to the realities
imposed on them.
You will be aware that KSN has moved its Misima Project from exploration to development phase; one
outcome of this change is the focus on completing a PFS by the end of 2020. We have entered an agreement,
subject to PNG approvals, to acquire the balance of the Misima Project from our partners and expect this will
complete early in 2021. This acquisition enhances our flexibility to capitalize on the various options which
arise as we move toward development of the world class Misima resource. We expect to recommence drilling
on Misima in October, subject to many uncertainties outside our control.
Our Livingstone Project in WA continues to demonstrate significant potential. Results from our most recent
drilling program are being released as they become available and these will inform our program for the coming
year.
Andrew Corbett’s report on the years activities is exciting reading and I commend it to you. Andrew lead his
team in difficult circumstances requiring empathetic decisions to balance the interests of all parties. On behalf
of the Board I express our gratitude to Andrew and his team for their efforts.
As chair, I also record here my thanks to the Board, which has worked so well together for the benefit of the
Company. We look forward to continuing progress and success in the year ahead.
Your sincerely
Anthony S Wehby
Non-Executive Chairman

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
Directors’ Report
The Directors present their report together with the financial report of the Consolidated Entity (or ‘Group’),
being Kingston Resources Limited (‘Kingston” or the “Company’) and its subsidiaries, for the financial year
ended 30 June 2020 and the independent auditor’s report thereon.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The Company is an Australian-based Company listed on the ASX. The principal activity of the Group during
the period was mineral exploration.
OPERATING RESULTS AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR
Operating Results
Kingston reported a statutory after tax loss of $751,587 (2019: $2,240,006). The reduced FY20 loss relative to
FY19 is due to reduced levels of expenditure and a gain on the sale of exploration assets.
Review of Operations
Over the year to 30 June 2020, Kingston has delivered a number of key milestones as it works towards its goal
of becoming a gold producer. The most significant achievement for the year was the commencement of the
Pre-Feasibility now underway at its flagship Misima Gold Project. This was possible following successful
drilling over the first nine months of the financial year which primarily focused on the Ewatinona deposit.
Following the drilling program the Misima Resource was updated, with Kingston reporting a 15% increase in
total ounces to 3.21Moz. Immediately subsequent to the Resource update, the Misima Pre-Feasibility Study
commenced.
The successful drilling significantly enhanced the Company’s geological understanding of Ewatinona, this was
reflected in the subsequent Resource update which confirmed it as the starter pit for the Project. Best holes
from the Ewatinona drilling included:
•
•

•
20.0m @ 1.81g/t Au from 78m, incl. 3m @ 7.48g/t Au
16.0m @ 2.16g/t Au, incl. 7m @ 3.83g/t Au from 37m
15.7m @ 1.60g/t Au from 40m, incl. 7.0m @ 3.19g/t Au
10.2m @ 3.68g/t Au from 10m, incl. 4m @ 7.15g/t Au
15.6m @ 1.18g/t Au from 49.6m
14.0m @ 1.64g/t Au from 163m
13.5m @ 1.26g/t Au, incl. 10.5m @ 1.43g/t Au from 146m
13m @ 2.9g/t Au from 25m
12.0m @ 1.33g/t Au from 22m
Alongside the Ewatinona results, the Company made a new discovery at Abi with an initial drill result of:
•
23.6m @ 2.91g/t Au from 7.4m, incl. 13.5m @ 4.60g/t Au from 17.5m
Abi lies immediately South East of Ewatinona in the Quartz Mountain region. The Company aims to follow
up on this discovery once drilling is able to recommence in FY21.
Drilling was also conducted at Umuna East during the year, with successful results indicating potential for
additional near surface ounces to stem from this near-mine target. Best results from Umuna East drilling
include:

12.0m @ 1.31g/t Au from 2m
14.6m @ 0.96g/t Au from 11.4m
6.0m @ 2.32g/t Au from 80m
10.0m @ 0.96g/t Au from 28m
Following the cessation of drilling in late March, Kingston completed the Misima Resource update. This
resulted in a revised JORC Resource for Misima of 105Mt @ 0.93g/t for 3.21Moz Au, an increase of 15% on
the previously reported total ounces. The Resource includes 1.52Moz Indicated ounces available for potential
conversion to Reserve.
The Misima Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) commenced upon completion of the Resource update. At year-end,
PFS work was well underway, with key appointments in place and rapid progress being made. The benefits of
having an extensive body of historical information available to Kingston through the Placer records has been
evident in the speed with which the PFS has progressed. Kingston anticipates concluding the PFS by year end
at which point it also anticipates reporting a Reserve at Misima.
In June, Kingston executed an agreement with its joint venture partner, Pan Pacific Copper Co., Ltd. (PPC), to
acquire PPC’s 19% interest in the Misima Gold Project. On completion, Kingston will move to 100%
ownership of the Project. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA), Kingston will pay a total
consideration of $2 million for the acquisition in two tranches. The first tranche of $0.35 million was paid in
June, with the second tranche of $1.65 million due on or before 28 February 2021, subject to PNG regulatory
approval.
The onset of COVID-19 related travel restrictions in Australia and Papua New Guinea coincided with the
conclusion of the Company’s planned Resource drilling program at Misima. As such the initial impact of the
pandemic on the Company’s operations was limited as the focus turned to the Misima Resource update and
PFS commencement which was able to continue without interruption. With travel restrictions having
somewhat eased in Papua New Guinea, the Company is now working towards re-commencement of drilling
activity on Misima in coming months.
At Livingstone, a number of key work programs were conducted through FY20. A 2,375m RC drilling program
was followed up with metallurgical testing in the first half of the year. The metallurgical testing demonstrated
excellent gold recoveries by conventional cyanide extraction methods averaging 93.8% across a range of
samples of varying grade, lithology and weathering profiles. A multi-faceted structural program incorporated
structural mapping over the western portion of the Livingstone Project, together with an 848m, 5-hole diamond
drill program co-funded through the WA Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS), and an extensive
structural study. The work successfully established controls on gold mineralisation at Kingsley, enhanced
prospectivity of known prospects and identified a new mineralised corridor. Follow up drilling at Kingsley and
additional exploration targets commenced in July 2020.
Project Summary
Misima Gold Project
Misima Island is located 625km east of Port Moresby in the Solomon Sea. Gold was discovered on the island
in 1888 with small scale underground mining continuing until WWII. Placer Dome Inc (Placer) commenced
exploration in 1977, with large scale, open pit production beginning in 1989 and continuing for 15 years.
- 5 -
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
The operation was a success for Placer. It mined 87.5Mt at 1.46g/t Au producing 3.7Moz of gold and 22Moz
of silver. Gold recoveries averaged 91.5% and costs averaged US$218/oz, resulting in an average margin of
US$128/oz (37%). At the time the decision was made to close the mine, the gold price was below US$300/oz.
Subsequently, Misima became the target of copper exploration under WCB Resources Ltd. Following
Kingston’s acquisition of WCB Resources in November 2017, the focus returned to gold. Kingston
commenced drilling in May 2018. In May 2020 Kingston updated the Misima Mineral Resource Estimate
announcing an increase JORC Resource of 105Mt @ 0.93g/t for 3.21Moz Au.
Livingstone Gold Project
Livingstone, located northwest of Meekatharra in Western Australia, is an exploration project with an existing
JORC 2004 Inferred Resource of 49,900 ounces of gold and a number of high-grade drilling intersections that
indicate excellent potential for additional discoveries. The project area spans over 30km of prospective
geological strike on the western limb of the highly prospective Bryah Basin.
Drilling has highlighted the potential of the main line of historic workings, with mineralisation defined over a
strike length of 2.2km. Early results suggest potential for two or more sub-parallel zones of mineralisation
including the structure previously mined by historic workings and a second, newly discovered zone slightly
further south. Importantly, gold has been identified up to 850m west of the historic shafts and the prospect
remains open along strike, greatly increasing the possible size of the mineralised zone. This prospect area,
which was previously known as Mt Seabrook 1 and 2, has been renamed Kingsley and is the focus of current
drilling by Kingston.

Table 2: Livingstone Gold Project mineral resource summary (no change since 30 June 2019).
This resource estimate is from a JORC 2004 resource report prepared by Mr H. Cornelius for Talisman Mining
Ltd in February 2007 and is not reported in accordance with the JORC 2012 Code. A Competent Person has
not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as Mineral Resources in accordance with the JORC
2012 Code. It is uncertain that following further evaluation and/or further exploration work that the historical
estimate will be able to be reported as Mineral Resources in accordance with the JORC 2012 Code. During the
year Kingston completed a significant body of work at Livingstone (see Project Summary – Livingstone Gold
Project above) with a view to verifying the historical estimate in accordance with the JORC 2012 in the coming
year.
COMPETENT PERSON’S STATEMENT
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results,Mineral Resources and overall Annual Report
Compilation is based on information compiled by Mr Stuart Hayward BAppSc (Geology) MAIG, a Competent
Person who is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Hayward is an employee of the
Company. Mr Hayward has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of
deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined
in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and
Ore Reserves”. Mr Hayward consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based upon the information
in the form and context in which it appears.
Kingston publicly reports Exploration Results and Mineral Resource estimates in accordance with the ASX
Listing Rules and the requirements and guidelines of the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves – the JORC Code. Kingston’s governance for public
reporting of Exploration Results and Mineral Resource estimates includes important assurance measures. All
reports are signed-off by appropriate JORC Competent Persons with JORC Code Table 1 Checklists as
required. Exploration Results and Mineral Resource estimates are also peer reviewed (either by Kingston
technical staff or suitably qualified external consultants) before Board approval and ASX release.

The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive
and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of
strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. The Board has established a separate
Remuneration and Nomination committee. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee meets as required
to review remuneration, recruitment, retention and termination procedures and to evaluate senior executives
remuneration packages and incentives.
The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel.
All matters of remuneration will continue to be in accordance with the Corporations Act requirement, including
with regard to related party transactions. That is, none of the directors participate in any deliberations regarding
their own remuneration or related issues.
To ensure market competitiveness and achievement of the company’s remuneration philosophy, executive
remuneration is:
• benchmarked against similar organisations in regards to industry and size; and
•
from time to time, independent external advice is sought from remuneration consultants.
The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the Company’s remuneration
governance.
(c)
Executive remuneration policy and framework
In determining executive remuneration, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee aims to ensure that
remuneration practices are:
• Competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent;
• Aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value;
• Transparent and easily understood; and
• Acceptable to shareholders.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviews executive packages annually by reference to the
executive’s performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in
similar industries. The terms and conditions for the Managing Director are considered appropriate for the
current exploration and development phase of the Group’s asset base.
Options and performance rights may be issued to directors subject to approval by shareholders. All
remuneration paid to directors is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options are valued using the
Black-Scholes methodology.

Relationship between remuneration and the Group’s performance
Directors’ remuneration is set by reference to other companies of similar size and industry, and by reference
to the skills and experience of directors. Fees paid to directors are not linked to the performance of the Group.
This policy may change once the exploration phase is complete and the Company is generating revenue. At
present the existing remuneration policy is not impacted by the Group’s performance including earnings and
changes in shareholder wealth (dividends, changes in share price or returns of capital to shareholders). The
Remuneration and Nomination Committee has not set long-term and short-term performance indicators for the
determination of director remuneration as the Board believes this may encourage performance which is not in
the long term interests of the Company and its shareholders.
The Board has structured its remuneration arrangements in such a way it believes is in the best interests of
building shareholder wealth in the longer term.
The following table shows the net loss, loss per share and share price for the last four financial years.

Long-term (LTI) and short-term (STI) incentives may be provided to KMP in the form of Performance Rights
and Options over ordinary shares of the Company and are considered to promote continuity of employment
and provide additional incentive to recipients to increase shareholder wealth. Performance Rights and Options
may only be issued to directors subject to approval by shareholders in general meeting.
During the Financial Year the following Short Term and Long Term incentives were issued:
• Unlisted Options 7,681,957 - consisting of 72,819,561 unlisted Options issued prior to the share
consolidation (equivalent to 7,281,957 on a post-consolidation basis) and 600,000 unlisted Options
issued post the share consolidation. (FY19: 34,375,909 pre consolidation).
• STI Performance Rights 2,427,320 – consisting of 24,273,187 STI Performance Rights issued prior to
the share consolidation (2,427,320 post-consolidation). (FY19 18,216,818 pre consolidation)
• No LTI Performance Rights were issued during the year – FY19 24,196,363 pre consolidation)
Non-Executive Directors remuneration policy
On appointment to the Board, all non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in
the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms including remuneration,
relevant to the office of director.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at commercial market rates for comparable
companies for their time, commitment and responsibilities.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by
shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and is currently set at $250,000 per annum. Fees may also be paid
to non-executive directors for additional consulting services provided to the Company.
Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. Non-executive directors’
remuneration may also include an incentive portion consisting of options, subject to approval by shareholders.

During the year ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020, no ordinary shares in the Company were issued pursuant
to the exercise of options. Apart from as described in this report, there have been no conversions to, calls of,
or subscriptions for ordinary shares of issued or potential ordinary shares since the reporting date and before
the completion of these financial statements.
No person entitled to exercise an option had or has any right by virtue of the option to participate in any share
issue of any other body corporate.
PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE GROUP
No person has applied to any court pursuant to section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring
proceedings on behalf of the Group or intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party for the
purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or any part of those proceedings. The Group
was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.
INDEMNITIES GIVEN AND INSURANCE PREMIUMS PAID TO AUDITORS AND OFFICERS
The Company has entered into Deeds of Access, Indemnity and Insurance with each Director.
Under these deeds, the Company has undertaken, subject to the restrictions in the Corporations Act, to:
a)
b)
c)
d)
indemnify each Director from certain liabilities incurred from acting in that position under specified
circumstances;
maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance cover (if available) in favour of each Director whilst that
person maintains such office and for seven years after the Director has ceased to be a director;
cease to maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance cover in favour of each Director if the Company
reasonably determines that the type of coverage is no longer available. If the Company ceases to
maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance cover in favour of a Director, then the Company must notify
that Director of that event; and
provide access to any Company records which are relevant to the Director’s holding of office with the
Company, for a period of seven years after the Director has ceased to be a Director.
During the year, the Company paid a premium to insure officers of the Group. The officers of the Group
covered by the insurance policy include all directors and the company secretary.
The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may
be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Group, and any other payments arising from
liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise
out of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their
position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2020
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
Notes to the Financial Statements
This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Kingston Resources Limited and
controlled entities (‘Consolidated Group’ or ‘Group’).7
For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.
Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian
Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements are presented in the
currency of Australian dollars.
Statement of Compliance
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of Kingston Resources
Limited and its controlled entities comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 11 September 2020.
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs modified by the
revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of
accounting has been applied.
Significant Accounting Policies
a)
Principles of Consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June
2020. 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 30 June. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 12 to the financial statements.
All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised
gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are
reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts
reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with
the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are
recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net
assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries
between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
b)
Changes in Accounting Policies
The Group has considered the implications of new or amended Accounting Standards which have become
applicable for the current financial reporting period as set out below:
AASB 16: Leases has been applied retrospectively, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the Standard
recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 July 2019. In accordance with AASB
16, the comparative information for the 30 June 2019 reporting period has not been restated and continues to be
reported under AASB 117: Leases.
The Group has recognised a lease liability and right of use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term
and low value leases) recognised as operating leases under AASB 117: Leases where the Group is the lessee.
The lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments. The Groups incremental
borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019 was used to discount the lease payments.
- 25 -
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2020
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
In the previous year, the group only recognised lease assets and liabilities in relation to leases that were classified
as “finance leases” under AASB 117: Leases. The assets were presented in property, plant and equipment and the
liabilities as part of the group’s borrowings.
The following summary indicates the adjustments and reclassifications of financial statement line items in the
balance sheet due to the implementation of AASB 16 as at 1 July 2019.

The associated right of use assets for property leases were measured on a retrospective basis as if the new rules
had always been applied. Other right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability,
adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance
sheet as at 30 June 2019.
c)
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June
2020. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and
Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.
New Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
A revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting has been issued by the AASB and is applicable for
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. This release impacts for-profit private sector entities
that have public accountability that are required by legislation to comply with Australian Accounting Standards
and other for-profit entities that voluntarily elect to apply the Conceptual Framework. Phase 2 of the framework
is yet to be released which will impact for-profit private sector entities. The application of new definition and
recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement will result in amendments to several accounting
standards. The issue of AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the
Conceptual Framework, also applicable from 1 January 2020, includes such amendments. Where the consolidated
- 26 -
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2020
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
entity has relied on the conceptual framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or
conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under Australian Accounting Standards, the consolidated entity may
need to revisit such policies. The consolidated entity will apply the revised conceptual framework from 1 July
2020 and is yet to assess its impact.
d)
Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax
expense (income). Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to other
comprehensive income instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly
to other comprehensive income.
Current tax
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using
applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets)
are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and its intended that
net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during
the year as well unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where
amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be
recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no
effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, 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 periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or
liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Tax consolidation
Kingston Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax
consolidated group under the tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own current and
deferred tax liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach to allocation. Current
tax liability (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are
immediately transferred to the head entity. The Group notified the Australian Taxation Office that it had formed
an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2003.
e)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
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 assets employment and subsequent disposal.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss on the statement
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
- 27 -
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2020
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated using the diminishing value method commencing from
the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:
Class of Fixed Assets
Office, furniture and equipment
Vehicles and machinery
Depreciation Rate
5-40%
13-33%
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. The gains and
losses are included in profit or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When
revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained
earnings.
f)
Leases
At inception of a contract the Group assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present and
the Group is the lessee, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability is recognised. However, all contracts
that are classified as short-term leases (ie a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of
low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Initially, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at commencement
date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily
determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
fixed lease payments less any lease incentives;
variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the
commencement date;
the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options;
lease payments under extension options, if lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to
terminate the lease.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability as mentioned above,
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, as well as any initial direct costs. The subsequent
measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the
shortest. Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset, or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects
that the Group anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the
underlying asset.
g)
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis,
depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an
orderly (ie unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the
measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to
determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific
- 28 -
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2020
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined
using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of
observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (ie
the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a
market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that
maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after
taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use
the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest
and best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment
arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial
instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this
information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the
respective note to the financial statements.
h)
Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase
or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs,
except where the instrument is classified "at fair value through profit or loss", in which case transaction costs are
expensed to profit or loss immediately. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine
fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant
financing component or if the practical expedient was applied as specified in AASB 15.63.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at:
-
-
amortised cost; or
fair value through profit or loss.
A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit and loss if the financial liability is:
-
-
-
a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3: Business
Combinations applies;
held for trading; or
initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating
interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of
the financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through
the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition.
A financial liability is held for trading if:
-
-
it is incurred for the purpose of repurchasing or repaying in the near term;
part of a portfolio where there is an actual pattern of short-term profit taking; or
- 29 -
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2020
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
-
a derivative financial instrument (except for a derivative that is in a financial guarantee contract or a
derivative that is in a effective hedging relationships).
Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not
part of a designated hedging relationship are recognised in profit or loss.
The change in fair value of the financial liability attributable to changes in the issuer's credit risk is taken to other
comprehensive income and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Instead, they are transferred to
retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial liability. If taking the change in credit risk in other
comprehensive income enlarges or creates an accounting mismatch, then these gains or losses should be taken to
profit or loss rather than other comprehensive income.
A financial liability cannot be reclassified.
Financial assets
Financial assets are subsequently measured at:
-
-
-
amortised cost;
fair value through other comprehensive income; or
fair value through profit or loss.
Measurement is on the basis of two primary criteria:
-
-
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; and
the business model for managing the financial assets.
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at amortised cost:
-
-
the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates.
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income:
-
-
the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates;
the business model for managing the financial assets comprises both contractual cash flows collection
and the selling of the financial asset.
By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the measurement conditions of amortised cost and fair value
through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group initially designates a financial instrument as measured at fair value through profit or loss if:
-
-
-
it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (often referred to as
“accounting mismatch”) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the
gains and losses on them on different bases;
it is in accordance with the documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about
the groupings was documented appropriately, so that the performance of the financial liability that was
part of a group of financial liabilities or financial assets can be managed and evaluated consistently on a
fair value basis;
it is a hybrid contract that contains an embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flows
otherwise required by the contract.
The initial designation of the financial instruments to measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time
option on initial classification and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised.
Equity instruments
- 30 -
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2020
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
At initial recognition, as long as the equity instrument is not held for trading and not a contingent consideration
recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3: Business Combinations applies, the Group
made an irrevocable election to measure any subsequent changes in fair value of the equity instruments in other
comprehensive income, while the dividend revenue received on underlying equity instruments investment will still
be recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised at settlement date in
accordance with the Group's accounting policy.
Derecognition
Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the
statement of financial position.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (ie when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled
or expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a
substantial modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability
and recognition of a new financial liability.
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and
payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised when the holder's contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is
transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.
All of the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial asset:
-
-
-
the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred;
all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and
the Group no longer controls the asset (ie the Group has no practical ability to make a unilateral decision
to sell the asset to a third party).
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying
amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
On derecognition of a debt instrument classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income, the
cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or
loss.
On derecognition of an investment in equity which was elected to be classified under fair value through other
comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve
is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained earnings.
Impairment
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on:
-
-
-
-
-
financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income;
lease receivables;
contract assets (eg amounts due from customers under construction contracts);
loan commitments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss; and
financial guarantee contracts that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Loss allowance is not recognised for:
-
-
financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; or
equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Expected credit losses are the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of a financial
instrument. A credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due and all cash flows
expected to be received, all discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial instrument.
- 31 -
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2020
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
The Group uses the general approach to impairment, as applicable under AASB 9: Financial Instruments:
Under the general approach, at each reporting period, the Group assesses whether the financial instruments are
credit-impaired, and if:
-
-
the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group
measures the loss allowance of the financial instruments at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit
losses; or
there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss
allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
Recognition of expected credit losses in financial statements
At each reporting date, the Group recognises the movement in the loss allowance as an impairment gain or loss in
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to that
asset.
Assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised at fair value, with changes in
fair value recognised in other comprehensive income. Amounts in relation to change in credit risk are transferred
from other comprehensive income to profit or loss at every reporting period.
For financial assets that are unrecognised (eg loan commitments yet to be drawn, financial guarantees), a provision
for loss allowance is created in the statement of financial position to recognise the loss allowance.
i)
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.
j)
Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars
which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where
deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge in which case they would be recognised in
other comprehensive income.
k)
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 plus related on costs. Employee benefits payable
later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for
those benefits.
Equity-settled compensation
The Group operates a share-based compensation plan which includes a share option arrangement. The bonus
element over the exercise price of the employee’s services rendered in exchange for the grant of options is
recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, with a corresponding
- 32 -
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2020
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
increase to an equity account. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference
to the fair value of the shares of the options granted. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black-Scholes
pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions, the fair value of Performance Rights is ascertained
using the Monte Carlo method.
l)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less.
m)
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.
n)
Revenue and Other Income
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the
financial assets.
Research and development credits are treated as Other Income and recognised to the extent that the related
expenditure has been expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Research
and development credits that pertain to expenditure on any capitalised amounts remaining on the Statement of
Financial Position are deferred accordingly to be recognised in-line with expensing of those items.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
o)
Exploration and Development Expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditures incurred are capitalised in respect of each identifiable area
of interest. These costs are only capitalised to the extent that they are expected to be recovered through the
successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits
reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the
decision to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of
the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to capitalise
costs in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the project from when exploration commences and are
included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant,
equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with local laws and
regulations and clauses of the permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current
legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site
restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations
and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be
completed within one year of abandoning the site.
p)
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
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. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement
of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing
and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
q)
Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation for the current financial year.

Going Concern
The consolidated entity has incurred operating losses of $751,587 (2019: $2,240,006) and negative operating cash
flows of $1,021,715 (2019: $1,428,194) for the year ended 30 June 2020. The consolidated entity’s net current
asset position as at 30 June 2020 was $4,970,059 (2019: $4,765,148) including $6,511,170 in cash (2019:
$5,197,394).
During the year the following issues of capital were made:
•
•
22 August 2019 - the Company completed the placement of the shortfall from the rights issue
conducted in May 2019, placing a total of 192,793,865 shares (subsequently subject to a 10:1
consolidation) at $0.016 raising $3,084,702
1 June 2020 - the Company completed the placement of a total of 40,450,926 shares at $0.16 raising
$6,447,407
For details on the remaining shares issued during the year see Note 20. Subsequent to the end of the financial
year, a Share Purchase Plan concluded raising a further $2,000,000 on the issue of 12,500,000 at $0.16.
The entity has planned to use these funds largely on exploration and development activities, the expenditure of
which can be varied and applied discretionarily.
The Groups cash balance of $6,511,170 as at 30 June 2020 leaves it with sufficient funding to continue to meet
operational expenditure requirements, including minimum exploration commitments across its tenement portfolio.
Nevertheless, the nature of an exploration company is to have negative cash flow from operations, as such the
Company considers it likely that it may need to raise equity from time to time as successfully demonstrated most
recently in June 2020, August 2019 and May 2019.
Taking into account the current cash reserves of the Company, the Directors are confident the Company has
adequate resources to continue in its main business activity for the foreseeable future. As a result, the financial
statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern which contemplates continuity of normal business
activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business and at the
amounts stated in the financial report.
s)
Joint arrangements and associates
Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to exert significant influence but which are not
subsidiaries.
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. A joint arrangement in which the Group has direct rights to underlying assets
and obligations for underlying liabilities is classified as a joint operation.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Interests in joint operations
are accounted for by recognising the Group’s assets (including its share of any assets held jointly), its liabilities
(including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising
from the joint operation, its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation and its expenses
(including its share of any expenses incurred jointly).
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.
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.
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.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
Key estimates – Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to
impairment of assets.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by management review using Black Scholes,
Monte Carlo, or an agreed fair value. The related assumptions are detailed in Note 20. The accounting estimates and
assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience and manufacturers’ warranties (for
plant and equipment). In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the
remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary.
Exploration and evaluation of expenditure
Costs arising from exploration and evaluation activities are carried forward provided the rights to tenure of the area of the
interest are current and such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development, or by sale, or where
exploration and evaluation activities have not, at reporting date, reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment
regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Costs carried forward in respect of an area of interest that
is abandoned are written off in the year in which the decision to abandon is made. The carrying value of the capitalised
exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances suggest that the
carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount. Such capitalised exploration expenditure is carried at
the end of the reporting period at $22,295,304 (see Note 22).
The Group has applied AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources.
Impairment
The carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment at the cash generating
unit level whenever facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable
amount.
An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable
amount. The asset or cash generating unit is then written down to the recoverable amount. Any impairment losses are
recognised in profit or loss on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may
have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the operations,
assets, and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. There does not currently appear to be either any
significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which
may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic.

future taxable profit will be available to realise the asset. The potential deferred tax asset on carry forward losses amounts
to $4,748,803 (2019: $3,510,046).

(b) Options
(i)
For information relating to the Company’s employee and consultant option scheme, including details of options
issued, exercised and lapsed during the financial year and the options outstanding at year end, refer to Note 20
Share-based Payments.
(ii) For information relating to share options issued to key management personnel during the financial year, refer
to the Directors’ Report.
(c) Capital Management
Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the
shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going
concern.
The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial
assets. There are no externally imposed capital requirements.
Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing its financial risks and adjusting its capital
structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management
debts levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.
There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since
the prior year.
16. RESERVES
(a)
Share-based Payment Reserve
The share-based payment reserve records items recognised as expenses on valuation of unlisted employee and
consultant incentive scheme options and performance rights. Refer to Note 20 Share-based Payments for further
details.
17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Group has certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work and to expend minimum amounts of
money on such work on mining tenements. These obligations may be varied from time to time subject to approval
and are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of the operations of the Group. These commitments have not
been provided for in the financial report. Due to the nature of the Group’s operations in exploring and evaluating
areas of interest, it is difficult to accurately forecast the nature and amount of future expenditure beyond the next
year. Expenditure may be reduced by seeking exemption from individual commitments, by relinquishing of tenure
or by new joint venture arrangements. Expenditure may be increased when new tenements are granted or joint
venture agreements amended. The minimum expenditure commitment on currently held tenements is:

SEGMENT REPORTING
The Group has identified that it has no operating segments disaggregated within the consolidated entity. This
has been determined based on the fact that the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) assesses
performance of the consolidated entity with no further review at a disaggregated level.
The Group operates in one segment being Exploration and Evaluation of Minerals. Thus, segmented
disclosures are not required.

150% of the Company’s June 2019 VWAP; and
(b) Up to 50% of the STI Performance Rights will vest, at the Board’s discretion, upon the achievement of operational

The principal assumptions used in estimating the value of the STI and LTI options include volatility of 55%
determined with reference to the Company’s historic volatility and the volatility of peer group companies, and a risk
free interest rate of 1.9%.

During the period two exploration licenses were relinquished. As a result, $77,805 of capitalised exploration
expenditure, being the full carrying amount of these exploration assets, was impaired.
An impairment assessment was undertaken of the Group’s exploration assets held at the end of FY20. Nothing has
come to the Company’s attention to indicate that amounts recorded as Capitalised Exploration Expenditure as at
30 June 2020 are not reasonable, require impairment, or do not meet the requirements of AASB 6.
Of the total $22,295,305 capitalised exploration expenditure, $19,809,985 is attributable to the Misima Gold
Project, $2,446,276 is attributable to the Livingstone Gold Project, and $39,043 is other projects.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, FVTPL financial assets, cash and
short-term deposits and a finance lease.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These
included monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and market forecasts for interest rate. Ageing analyses and
monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through
the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks are summarised below.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial
loss to the Group.
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and FVTPL financial assets. The
Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal
to the carrying amount net of any provisions for these assets as disclosed in the statement of financial position and
notes to the financial statements.
The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counter parties as a means of mitigating the risk
of financial loss from defaults. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are
subject to credit evaluations including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past
experience and industry reputation. Risk limits are set for each individual customer in accordance with parameters
set by the Board. These risk limits are regulatory monitored. The Group does not require collateral in respect of
financial assets.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to
bad debts is not significant. At the reporting date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. Refer to
Note 10 for further information on impairment of financial assets that are past due.
(b)
Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an
appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long-
- 46 -
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2020
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
term funding and liquidity management. The Group manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash
reserves, and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows while matching the maturity profiles of
financial assets and liabilities. There are no material financial assets or financial liabilities that are subjected to
liquidity risk as at 30 June 2020 or 30 June 2019.
(c) Interest rate risk
The Group’s current exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to cash assets rates.
The Group does not account for fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates. The table indicates
the impact on how profit / (loss) and equity values reported at reporting date would have been affected by changes
in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. The Group’s main interest rate
risk arises from cash and cash equivalents with variable interest rates.

(d) Foreign currency risk
The Group is not exposed to significant financial risks from movements in foreign exchange rates. The Group does
not participate in any type of hedging transactions or derivatives. Therefore, no sensitivity analysis is required.
(e)
Price risk
The Group’s exposure to commodity and equity securities price risk is minimal. Equity securities price risk arises
from investments in equity securities. The majority of the equity investments are of a high quality and are publicly
traded on global exchanges.
The price risk for both listed and unlisted securities is immaterial in terms of a possible impact on profit and loss
or total equity and as such a sensitivity analysis has not been completed.
(f) Fair value
For the financial assets and liabilities disclosed in this note, the fair value approximates their carrying value.
