LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Directors of Metal Bank Limited (Metal Bank, MBK or the Company), I am pleased to report on
the activities of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2019.
Our exploration focus during the year was on the Company’s 8 Mile project, located near the Mt Rawdon gold
mine in south-east Queensland. This large-scale mineralised hydrothermal system was discovered by the
Company in 2018. Gold and multi-element surface geochemistry followed, identifying on the Eastern Target an
extensive gold system extending more than 3km, with broad low-grade gold mineralisation intersected in limited
shallow historical drilling. IP geophysics subsequently identified potential depth extensions of near-surface gold
mineralisation, which was confirmed on two prospects in a drilling program completed in June 2019.
Further drilling is being carried out on this project focussing on these large-scale bulk tonnage intrusion-related
gold targets.
The 8 Mile project complements the Company’s Eidsvold and Triumph projects, being associated with historical
goldfields and representing intrusion related gold systems with multi-million-ounce upside in south-east
Queensland.
At Eidsvold, reinterpretation of geophysics during the year has identified new large-scale targets under 10m to
100m of sedimentary cover.
A detailed review of project data at Triumph has been conducted this year identifying four high priority targets.
The Company is pursuing options to advance its Triumph and Eidsvold projects, including potential Joint Venture
arrangements.
Throughout the year, the Company has conducted advanced reviews and analysis of new growth opportunities,
including potential acquisitions and corporate transactions, with a view to identifying projects that fit within our
growth strategy and that have the ability to add shareholder value. This work is ongoing, and we remain focussed
on growing the Company.
We look forward to continued exploration success in the year ahead and we thank our shareholders for their
ongoing support.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year, Metal Bank has continued to apply cutting edge exploration tools and technology to define
gold resources associated with overlooked and underexplored intrusion related gold systems, focusing on
historical goldfields located in south-east Queensland.
The 8 Mile project is the Company’s primary focus after a successful initial drill program intersected
gold mineralisation during the year, following the recent granting of tenure. Significant bulk tonnage
gold potential has been defined over an area >3.6km and in close proximity to the Mt Rawdon gold
mine, which has produced in excess of 2Moz Au.
The Triumph project remains a priority with bulk tonnage gold targets defined beneath the multiple
zones of near-surface high-grade gold mineralisation. Shallow drilling has defined a large gold
system and together with geophysical results has provided sufficient data to target bulk tonnage
style gold mineralisation less than 200m below surface.
On the Eidsvold project, large-scale coincident geophysics and geochemistry anomalies represent
compelling gold targets close to the historical Eidsvold goldfield (100,000oz past production) and
concealed by cover sediments.
In parallel, Metal Bank continues to review highly prospective, advanced and near-production
resource opportunities which have the potential to significantly enhance the current project
portfolio and reduce the timeline towards production.
The operations of the consolidated entity are as described below:
Three Gold Projects – South-East Queensland Gold Region
MBK holds three gold projects prospective for intrusion-related gold mineralisation (IRGS) within the
northern New England Orogen of Eastern Australia. This region hosts several gold mines including the Cracow
(3Moz Au), and Mt Rawdon (2Moz Au) gold mines as well as the historical Mt Morgan deposit (8Moz Au)
shown in Figure 1.
The 8 Mile project is centred on the historical Perry goldfield, located only 15km to the north-east of the
2Moz Mt Rawdon gold mine in south-east Queensland. Metal Bank recognised large-scale alteration targets
in reprocessed regional magnetics data associated with the Perry goldfield. In a short period of time since
tenure grant (November 2018) Metal Bank has identified large gold targets >3.6km in length defined by
multi-element surface geochemistry data. Initial drilling by Metal Bank has intersected broad zones of gold
mineralisation associated with an intensely altered intrusive on two drill sections located 2km apart. These
initial drill results are very encouraging and highlight that the region has been overlooked by modern
exploration despite its close proximity to Mt Rawdon gold mine.
Exploration to date on the Triumph project has resulted in the discovery of multiple high-grade gold zones
which occur near surface and define a large-scale gold system centred around the historical Norton goldfield.
The high-grade gold mineralisation is interpreted as leakage (‘smoke’) above bulk tonnage style gold systems
similar to other large intrusion related gold mines in Queensland. The completion of shallow drilling across
the project has defined the extent of the system and importantly provides a robust drilling data set. This data
set has been used to create 3D models of metal and alteration zoning across the project highlighting four
priority bulk tonnage targets <200m below surface.
The Eidsvold project is centred on an historical goldfield (100,000oz Au historical production) with only
limited historical exploration completed beneath the surrounding sedimentary cover in the district. Airborne
geophysical surveys (magnetics and EM) by Metal Bank have defined large-scale gold targets close to the
historical goldfield. Surface soil sampling utilising a new soil technique aimed at detecting mineralisation
through cover was completed over the geophysical targets during the year, highlighting significant soil pH
lows over the targets. This may indicate the weathering of mineralisation/sulphides from the basement
geophysical anomalies thereby enhancing prospectivity.

8 Mile Project (100% MBK)
Tenement granted November 2018
Extensive gold zones intersected in initial drilling on both the Perry and Flori’s Find prospects
Results confirm the gold is associated with mineralised intrusives interpreted as ‘leakage’ above
large-scale bulk tonnage targets occurring less than 200m below surface.
Project located close to Mt Rawdon gold mine (2Moz)
The 8 Mile project, comprising an area of 245km2, is located 15km to the north-east of Mt Rawdon (2Moz Au)
gold mine in the Northern New England Orogen, south-east Queensland (Figure 1).
Exploration by MBK on the 8 Mile project following tenement grant in November 2018 has comprised soil
geochemistry and three lines of IP geophysics over a 3.6km long zone encompassing the Perry and Flori’s Find
prospects, as well as the historical Perry goldfield. An initial RC drilling programme was completed (10 holes
for 872m)1 on the Perry and Flori’s Find prospects which intersected broad zones of gold mineralisation at
both prospects, more than 2km apart (refer Figure 2).
Drill results include1:
Flori’s Find Prospect
22m @ 1.1g/t Au from 8m (ETRC001)
18m @ 0.7g/t Au from surface (ETRC002)
4m @ 5.5g/t Au from 76m, including 2m @ 9.7g/t Au from 76m (ETRC005)
Perry Prospect
46m @ 0.3g/t Au from 24m (ETRC007)
12m @ 2.1g/t Au from 4m, including 2m @ 7.5g/t Au from 14m (ETRC008)
36m @ 1.2g/t Au from 36m, including 2m @ 14.8g/t Au from 36m(ETRC009)
At both the Flori’s Find and Perry prospects, the gold mineralisation is closely associated with high-level
strongly altered intrusive rocks, interpreted as high-level leakage above a larger gold system occurring less
than 200m below surface. These rocks have many similarities to the alteration and intrusives suite at the
nearby two million-ounce Mt Rawdon gold mine.
High priority IP geophysical targets, identified directly beneath the broad zones of gold mineralisation
intersected in recent shallow drilling at both the Floris Find and Perry prospects, are interpreted as bulk
tonnage intrusion-related gold systems.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Multi-element and gold surface geochemistry highlight at least four near-surface gold systems within an
overall north-east trending structural corridor greater than 3.6km x 800m (open to the north-east), which
includes the Flori’s Find and Perry prospects (refer Figure 3). Metal zonation models derived from the
interpretation of multi-element soil geochemistry indicate the near surface geochemical anomalies are in the
upper levels of a large intrusion-related gold system. Results from this drilling programme combined with the
three lines of IP geophysics provide additional support for the existence of a large intrusion-related gold
system.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 5: 8 Mile project showing the Eastern target and location of the Mt Rawdon gold mine (2Moz).
Large-scale bulk tonnage intrusion-related gold targets are the immediate focus for further drilling. These
targets occur beneath the broad zones of gold mineralisation intersected in the recent drilling associated with
high level intrusions that are interpreted to be ‘leakage’ from a significant gold system below. Multi-element
(including gold) surface geochemistry also provides strong support for the presence of multiple large-scale
gold systems.
Triumph Project (100% MBK)
Greenfields exploration success over the past three years has resulted in the discovery of six
significant mineralised centres within the Triumph gold system, which is predominantly concealed
by shallow cover and centred on the historical Norton goldfield.
Four priority bulk tonnage gold targets (Big Hans, Advance, Bonneville and Bald Hill East) have been
defined less than 200m below surface via 3D modelling of alteration and metal zonation across the
project during the year.
High-grade gold mineralisation intersected to date on the project is interpreted as leakage above
bulk tonnage style gold systems.
The Triumph project, comprising an area of 135km2, is located between the Mt Rawdon (2Moz Au) gold mine
and the historical Mt Morgan (8Moz Au and 0.4Mt Cu) mine in the Northern New England Orogen, south-east
Queensland (Figure 1).
Exploration by MBK on the Triumph project has discovered a large underexplored gold system around a
historical goldfield. The 10km2 gold system is 95% concealed beneath shallow sediment cover, which has
presented MBK with a unique opportunity and ‘first mover’ advantage to generate and drill test targets on
this previously unrecognised large gold system. Systematic exploration over the outcropping areas,
constituting only 5% of the entire gold camp, has led to the discovery of high-grade gold mineralisation in
drilling on six prospects within the past three years.

METAL BANK LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The Triumph project is an intrusion-related gold camp centred about the historical high-grade Norton
goldfield (mined in the late 1800’s and again in the 1990’s) located between the Mt Rawdon (2Moz Au) gold
mine and the historical Mt Morgan (8Moz Au and 0.4Mt Cu) mine in the Northern New England Orogen,
south-east Queensland.
Exploration by MBK over the past three years has discovered near-surface gold mineralisation across six
prospects within a 10km2 system. Highlights from this work include2:
Bald Hill West
-
15m @ 10.3g/t Au from 9m
Bald Hill East
30m @ 0.5g/t Au from surface (open)
New Constitution
10m @ 26.9g/t Au from 51m
Advance
3m @ 25g/t Au from 17m
Super Hans
22m @ 1.1g/t Au from 12m
Big Hans
18m @ 4.0g/t Au from surface
The high-grade gold mineralisation intersected is interpreted to represent outer halo style mineralisation
above bulk tonnage style gold systems. It is the bulk tonnage style mineralisation that represents the priority
target for MBK on the project.
During the period a detailed analysis of the project data identified four priority bulk tonnage targets (Big
Hans, Advance, Bonneville and Bald Hill East) interpreted to be located beneath the near-surface
mineralisation. Refer to Figure 6 showing the location of the priority bulk tonnage targets and refer to Figure
7 showing the metal zonation model for the Triumph project.

METAL BANK LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 7: Triumph gold project metal zonation model, interpretation of zonation is shown in Figure 6.
The four priority targets, which require deeper drilling to assess bulk tonnage potential, include:
Big Hans – Shallow drilling intersected gold mineralisation along a 500m of strike and remains open.
Intersections include 3m @ 10.9g/t Au from 42m3, 100m along strike from 18m @ 4.0g/t Au from surface.
Both these intercepts represent the top of a large gold system with potential for the system to improve with
depth.
Advance – Multiple narrow high-grade gold zones were intersected within an area 400m x 400m. This
includes 3m @ 25g/t Au from 17m and 1m @ 45g/t from 28m4. Strong Pb and Zn mineralisation provide
support for the mineralisation intersected to date to be located above the main gold system. The next step
required for this prospect is drilling designed to target the high-grade mineralisation at a depth of between
100m to 150m below surface.
Bald Hill East – Broad zones of low-grade gold mineralisation intersected in shallow drilling to a (maximum
depth of 60m are interpreted to represent the upper portions of a large intrusion related gold system.
Mineralisation including 30m @ 0.5g/t Au from surface (open)5 define a target greater than 300m in strike
with multiple parallel structures over 100m wide. The next step required for this prospect is drilling designed
to test the gold system between 100m to 150m below surface.
Bonneville - Multiple anomalous gold intersections (>0.1g/t Au) from shallow drilling6 combined with multi-
element geochemistry provide support for Bonneville being in the very upper levels of an intrusion-related
gold system which halo a deeper IP resistivity / chargeability anomaly approximately 200m below surface.
The next step required for this prospect is drilling designed to drill test the IP anomaly.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Eidsvold Project (100% MBK)7
Interpretation of airborne EM and magnetic geophysical survey results during the year identified
large-scale targets concealed by cover sediments
Large-scale untested gold targets have been defined, with initial drill holes intersecting gold
mineralisation beneath sediment cover associated with regional magnetic lows along strike from the
historical goldfield
The Eidsvold project is centred on the historical Eidsvold goldfield (100,000oz Au mined in the early 1900’s)
within the Eidsvold intrusive complex, located between the Cracow (3Moz Au) and Mt Rawdon (2Moz Au)
gold mines in the Northern New England Orogen (refer Figure 8).
The Eidsvold project represents a ‘first mover’ opportunity to target bulk tonnage intrusion related gold
systems concealed by sedimentary cover on an area which is largely unexplored and adjacent to a historical
goldfield with over 100,000oz Au historical production.
Airborne geophysical surveys (magnetics and EM) by Metal Bank have defined large-scale gold targets close
to the historical goldfield. The targets are concealed by between 10m to 100m of cover and are interpreted
to represent breccia-style gold systems similar to the Mt Leyshon and Kidston gold mines in Queensland.
Refer to Figure 8.
Surface soil sampling using a new soil technique aimed at detecting mineralisation through cover was
completed over the geophysical targets during the year. Field pH data highlight large ‘low pH’ anomalies
associated with four of the geophysical targets and provide evidence of possible weathering of the
mineralisation/sulphides from the basement geophysical anomalies enhancing their prospectivity. Refer to
Figure 9.

14
METAL BANK LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITY
DIRECTORS REPORT
The material business risks faced by the Company that are likely to have an effect on the financial prospects
of the Company, and how the Company manages these risks, are:
Future Capital Needs – the Company does not currently generate cash from its operations. The Company
will require further funding in order to meet its corporate expenses, continue its exploration activities and
complete studies necessary to assess the economic viability of its projects. The Company’s financial
position is monitored on a regular basis and processes put into place to ensure that fund raising activities
will be conducted in a timely manner to ensure the Company has sufficient funds to conduct its activities.
Exploration and Developments Risks – the business of exploration for gold and other minerals and their
development involves a significant degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge
and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. To prosper, the Company depends on factors that
include successful exploration and the establishment of resources and reserves within the meaning of the
2012 JORC Code. The Company may fail to discover mineral resources on its projects and once
determined, there is a risk that the Company’s mineral deposits may not be economically viable. The
Company employs geologists and other technical specialists, and engages external consultants where
appropriate to address this risk.
Commodity Price Risk – as a Company which is focused on the exploration of gold and base and precious
metals, it is exposed to movements in the price of these commodities. The Company monitors historical
and forecast price information from a range of sources in order to inform its planning and decision making.
Title and permit risks - each permit or licence under which exploration activities can be undertaken is
issued for a specific term and carries with it work commitments and reporting obligations, as well as other
conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to, or its interests in, one
or more of its tenements if conditions are not met or if sufficient funds are not available to meet work
commitments. Any failure to comply with the work commitments or other conditions on which a permit
or tenement is held exposes the permit or tenement to forfeiture or may result in it not being renewed
as and when renewal is sought. The Company monitors compliance with its commitments and reporting
obligations using internal and external resources to mitigate this risk.
PERFORMANCE IN RELATION TO ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The consolidated entity will comply with its obligations in relation to environmental regulation on its
Queensland projects and when it undertakes exploration in the future. The Directors are not aware of any
breaches of any environmental regulations during the period covered by this report.
OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
The loss of the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $425,026 (2018: loss of
$779,139).
The Group’s operating income decreased to $41,781 (2018: $53,694) and relates purely to interest on funds
at bank.
Expenses decreased to $466,807 (2018: $832,833) attributable to the write off of exploration costs in the
prior year and an increased allocation of geological salary costs to projects in the current year.
Capitalised exploration costs increased to $8,804,339 (2018: $7,984,603) reflecting the exploration work
during the work on the 8 Mile project and the Triumph project.
Net assets decreased to $10,416,762 (2018: $10,841,788) due to the loss for the year.

DIRECTORS REPORT
DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend and no amount has been paid or declared by
way of a dividend to the date of this report.
REMUNERATION REPORT
Remuneration Policy
The Board determines, on a case by case basis, the terms and conditions of employment of company
executives and consultants, including remuneration.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and
executives (Remuneration Policy) is as follows:
The terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior staff members, are developed by
the Chair and Company Secretary and approved by the Board;
Remuneration for directors and senior executives is determined and reviewed by the Board by reference
to the Company’s performance, the individual’s performance, as well as comparable information from
listed companies in similar industries;
In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board may seek independent advice on local and
international trends among comparative companies and industry generally. It examines terms and
conditions for employee incentive schemes, benefit plans and share plans. Independent advice may be
obtained to confirm that executive remuneration is in line with market practice and is reasonable in the
context of Australian executive reward practices;
The Company is a mineral exploration company and does not generate cash from its operations. In order
to preserve cash for exploration activities, the Board has determined, where possible, to pay a base
remuneration less than market rates to its executive directors, employees and individual contractors
with base remuneration to be supplemented by performance incentives to ensure attraction, retention
and ongoing incentives for its directors and executives;
The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration
annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability;
All remuneration paid to directors is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Where
appropriate, shares given to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market
price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the
Black-Scholes methodology; and
Issue of performance rights are subject to the terms of Metal Bank Performance Rights Plan and their
vesting is subject to vesting conditions and performance hurdles relating to the performance of both the
Company and the individual as determined and assessed by the Board.
The Company has not tabled figures for earnings and shareholders’ funds for the last five years as, being an
exploration company, these historical figures have no relevance in determining remuneration structure.

(c) Employee Related Share-based compensation
Options
No options were issued to employees or to directors or executives as part of their remuneration for the year
ended 30 June 2019.
Performance Rights
The Metal Bank Performance Rights Plan (the Rights Plan) and issue of securities under the Rights Plan was
first approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 30 November 2012
and this approval was renewed by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on
30 November 2018.
To be eligible to participate in the Rights Plan, a person must be a full or part time employee, contractor or
consultant (approved by the Board) of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or a director.
No performance rights were issued during the year and no performance rights were outstanding at the end
of the year.
During the previous year 3,737,184 performance rights were issued. The rights had a performance period
which expired on 31 August 2018. After assessing the vesting conditions, the Board determined that
1,254,585 of the 2018 Performance Rights had vested and the balance of performance rights on issue have
lapsed.
The Company is an exploration company and has no revenue from sales of product. Consequently,
earnings/loss and return to shareholders over the previous five years is not an appropriate benchmark for
the determination of executive remuneration, and has not been tabled.

METAL BANK LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Metal Bank Limited and its
controlled entities (Consolidated Group or Group), and a separate note on the accounts of Metal Bank
Limited as the parent entity (Parent).
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the
Australian Accounting Standards Board 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.
This financial report is presented in Australian Dollars.
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.
The financial report covers the Group of Metal Bank Limited and controlled entities. Metal Bank Limited is a
public listed company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
a.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities
controlled by Metal Bank Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity
over which Metal Bank Limited has the ability and right to govern the financial and operating policies
so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance
of those entities is included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of
controlled entities is contained in Note 9 to the financial statements.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between
entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated in full on consolidation.
Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a
parent, are reported separately within the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial
position and statement of comprehensive income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets
comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in
equity since that date.
b. Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination
involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted
for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired
and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited
exemptions).
When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability
resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial
recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent
settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is
remeasured each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss,
unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
25
METAL BANK LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement
of comprehensive income.
The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain
purchase.
c. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards
Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations
issued by the Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been
early adopted.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity.
AASB 15: Revenue From Contracts With Customers
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The standard provides a single
comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall
recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a measurement
approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting
policies below. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue.
Contracts with customers are presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability,
a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the
customer's payment. Customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain
criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period.
As the Group is not yet in the production stage this accounting standard is not applicable and no
adjustment is required to the current or the prior reporting period.
AASB 9: Financial Instruments
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduced new classification
and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is
held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows
which arise on specified dates and that are solely principal and interest. A debt investment shall be
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose
objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates
that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value. All other
financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an
irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not
held-for-trading or contingent consideration recognised
in other
comprehensive income ('OCI'). Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably
designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an
accounting mismatch. For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the standard
requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented
in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are
intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity.
New impairment requirements use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance.
Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has
increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For
receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss
allowance is available.

d.
Income Taxes
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 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.
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 directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited
or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future
tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an
asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable
profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at
reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or
settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary
differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where
temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint
ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the
temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the
foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a 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 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.
e.
Current and Non-Current Classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current
classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or
consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of
trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or
cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months
after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's
normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12
months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability
for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

f.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
Plant and equipment – over 5 years
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each financial year end.
(i) Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance date, with
recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in
use.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
The asset is then written down to its recoverable amount.
For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
An annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings is made for the difference
between depreciation based on the re-valued carrying amounts of the assets and depreciation based on
the assets’ original costs. Additionally, any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is
eliminated against the gross carrying amounts of the assets and the net amounts are restated to the re-
valued amounts of the assets.
Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to
retained earnings.
(ii) Derecognition and disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the
asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
asset) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the year the asset is derecognised.
g.
Exploration and Evaluation Costs
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each
identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to
be recouped through the successful development 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.
An area of interest refers to an individual geological area whereby the presence of a mineral deposit is
considered favourable or has been proved to exist. It is common for an area of interest to contract in size
progressively, as exploration and evaluation lead towards the identification of a mineral deposit which
may prove to contain economically recoverable reserves. When this happens during the exploration for
28
METAL BANK LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
Exploration and evaluation costs (continued)
and evaluation of mineral resources, exploration and evaluation expenditures are still included in the cost
of the exploration and evaluation asset notwithstanding that the size of the area of interest may contract
as the exploration and evaluation operations progress. In most cases, an area of interest will comprise a
single mine or deposit.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over
the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular
review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry
forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the
facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration
costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste
removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs 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.

From 1 January 2018, the Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and
those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the
contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For
investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company
has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those
assets changes.
(ii) Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the
Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to
receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
(iii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial
asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in
profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether
their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

iv) Impairment
From 1 January 2018, the Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses
associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology
applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires
expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
i.
Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Company 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 consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Impairment
testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. In the case of available-
for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to
determine whether impairment has arisen.
j.
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 3 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are
shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial performance.
k.
Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the
end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at
amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days
of recognition.
l.
Revenue Recognition
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method. It includes the amortisation of any
discount or premium.
m. 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 Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables
and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented
in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing
activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

n.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Metal Bank
Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares
issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to
take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive
potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been
issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
o. Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes
in presentation for the current financial year.
p.
Significant Judgements and Key Assumptions
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 Company.
q. Key Judgements and Estimates
Key Judgement Exploration Expenditure
The Company capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely
to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment
of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been
extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be impaired since
feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded. Such capitalised expenditure is carried at
reporting date at $8,804,339.
Key Judgement Environmental Issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or
enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the
company’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is
reasonable and appropriate.
Key Estimate Share based payment transactions
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by reference to the market
price.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet mandatory or early adopted
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 2019. 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.

METAL BANK LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AASB 16 Leases This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January
2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of
operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the
statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments
to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases
of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy
choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit
or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for
lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future
restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be
replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest
expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the
expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under
AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be
improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under
AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into
both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For
lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The
consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 and its adoption is not expected to have a
material impact on the financial accounts for the following year.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and exploration expenditure carried forward have not
been brought to account at 30 June 2019 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard
realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point in time. These benefits will only be obtained if:
the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the
benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure to be realised;
the Company continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the company in realising the benefit from the deductions for
the loss and exploration expenditure.
The applicable tax rate is the national tax rate in Australia for companies, which is 27.5% at the reporting date.

Capital Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so
that it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
The Company’s capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.
Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, it does not have ready access to credit
facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Accordingly, the objective of the Company’s
capital risk management is to balance the current working capital position against the requirements of the
Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. This is achieved by maintaining
appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital
raisings as required.

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The group’s principal financial instruments comprise mainly of borrowings and deposits with banks and shares
in listed companies shown as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss. The main purpose of the
financial instruments is to achieve optimal funding for the group with limited risk and earn the maximum
amount of interest at a low risk to the group. The group also has other financial instruments such as trade
debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations.
The consolidated entity holds the following financial instruments at the end of the reporting period:
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Financial assets at fair value through profit

The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:
a. Market risk
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The group’s main interest rate risk arises from borrowings and cash deposits to be applied to
exploration and development areas of interest. Borrowings are primarily to bridge the gap between
funding requirements and obtaining shareholder approval for equity issues. It is the group’s policy to
invest cash in short term deposits to minimise the group’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The
group’s deposits were denominated in Australian dollars throughout the year. The group did not enter
into any interest rate swap contracts.
38
METAL BANK LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial risk management (continued)
b. Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
financial loss to the group. The group has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy
counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of
mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The cash transactions of the group are limited to high
credit quality financial institutions.
The group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group
of counterparties having similar characteristics. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in
the financial statements, net of any provisions for losses, represents the group’s maximum exposure
to credit risk.
All cash holdings within the Group are currently held with AA rated financial institutions.
c. Liquidity Risk
The group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and
matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Surplus funds when available are
generally only invested in high credit quality financial institutions in highly liquid markets.
Financial Instrument composition and maturity analysis
The tables below reflect the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments of a fixed
period of maturity, as well as management’s expectations of the settlement period for all other financial
instruments. As such, the amounts may not reconcile to the statement of financial position.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
There is no difference between the fair values and the carrying amounts of the group’s financial instruments.
The Group has no unrecognised financial instruments at balance date.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
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:
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
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) (Level 2); and
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
(Level 3).

We have audited the financial report of Metal Bank Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash
flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies, and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of
our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's
report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation
Refer to Note 10 in the financial statements
As disclosed in Note 10, the Group had capitalised
exploration and evaluation expenditure of
$8,804,339 as at 30 June 2019. This represents a
significant portion of the Group assets.
The carrying value of exploration and evaluation
assets is subjective based on the Group’s ability
and intention, to continue to explore and develop
the asset. The carrying value may also be impacted
if the mineral reserves and resources are
commercially viable for extraction, or where the
carrying value of the asset is not likely to be
recouped through sale or successful development.
This creates a risk that the amounts stated in the
financial statements may not be recoverable.
Our audit procedures included the following:
Ensuring that the Group had the right to explore in
the relevant exploration area, which included
obtaining and assessing independent searches of
the company’s tenement holdings
Assessing the Group’s intention to carry out
significant exploration and evaluation activity in
the relevant exploration area, which included an
assessment of the Group's future cash flow
forecasts, and enquiry of management and the
Board of Directors as to the intentions and
strategy of the Group
Assessing the results of recent exploration activity
in the Group’s areas of interest, to determine if
there are any negative indicators that would
suggest a potential impairment of the capitalised
exploration and evaluation expenditure
Assessing the Group’s ability to finance any
planned future exploration and evaluation activity.
Reviewing a sample of costs that were capitalised
to determine whether the costs were appropriate
to capitalise in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards and the consolidated
entity’s accounting policy;
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and the
auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true
and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
48
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
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/ar2.pdf.
This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 16 to 19 of the directors' report for the year ended
30 June 2019.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Metal Bank Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019, complies with
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report
in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
