REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
AMBATO PROJECT
Overview
The Ambato Rare Earth Project is located approximately 200km to the southwest of Antananarivo, in the
Ambatofinandrahana Municipal area of the South-Central Highlands of Madagascar. The Ambato Project
consists of seven (7) prospects; Marovoalavo, Ankazohambo, Andoharano, Sahafa, Lesada, Vohiniariana, and
Sambalahy. The Ankazohambo prospect lies within a broad NNW – SSE trending synclinorium of Proterozoic age
dolomitic limestones of the Itremo Formation, and roughly 2.5km to the South of the Pan African age Vohimavo
Granite.
The Itremo Formation is represented at Ankazohambo by a clean stromatolitic limestone in the West, with
increasingly argillic content towards the East. The Ankazohambo prospect itself, is located on a laterite covered
topographic high of tectonically brecciated argillic limestone, with small outcrops of partially silicified aplite
(referred to alternately as a syenite) at the northern and southern ends of the laterite covered hill. The
metamorphic grade in this region is low but increases to lower amphibolite facies in the hills to the East.
Hydraulic brecciation is interpreted to be directly related to the intrusion of the aplitic dyke into water saturated
limestone.
Minbos has entered into an option with Tana Minerals Ltd (Tana) whereby Minbos can acquire 90% of the shares
in MRE Mining (Mauritius) Limited (MRE). MRE’s sole asset is a wholly owned subsidiary in Madagascar which
holds the exploration permits for the Ambato Project. During the period, the milestone work program event for
the option agreement with Tana was amended to the completion of an Airborne Geophysics program rather
than the completion of a drill program. Within two months of the geophysical survey completion date of 4
February 2019, Minbos gave notice to Tana that it would extend the Exclusivity Period by making a cash
payment of $25,000.
The acquisition of MRE is conditional upon Minbos obtaining all the required regulatory and shareholder
approvals, completing due diligence on the project and the renewal of the exploration permits.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Directors’ Report
Renewals of exploration licenses by the Bureau de Cadastre Minier de Madagascar have not received ministerial
approval for several years. It is expected the recently concluded National Assembly elections and the
appointment of a new Ministry will reinstate this process.
Historical Exploration
Historical exploration has taken place at Ambato since as early as 1912. Some of the more recent historical
exploration activities includes the collection of twenty-eight rock-chip samples by Tana Minerals Ltd in 2010
from the Ankazohambo prospect, which returned TREO grades of between 0.14% and 40.8% with a median
grade of 3.95%. The results confirm earlier sampling conducted by the Kiev National University in 2008, and the
German Federal Institute of Geology and Raw Materials (BGR) in the 1980’s1.
About Rare Earths
Rare Earths are commonly separated into ‘light rare earths’ lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr),
neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd) which are relatively
abundant, and ‘heavy rare earths’ terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm),
ytterbium (Yb), and lutetium (Lu) which are less abundant.
Current world reserves of rare earths as assessed by the US Geological Survey are estimated to be about 120
million tonnes REO contained or approximately 200 years supply. The largest proportion of these reserves are in
China (44 million tonnes) equivalent to 35% of the world’s reserves. Importantly the resources of heavy rare
earths in china are less abundant and considered finite (<10 years) by the national authorities and hence are the
subject of national controls.
Soil Sampling
On 1 July 2019 the Company announced results from its soil sampling program at the Ambato Project in
Madagascar. The aim of the 2019 soil sampling program was to confirm the presence of rare earth
mineralisation over radiometric anomalies identified from high resolution helicopter magnetic and radiometric
data acquired by New Resolution Geophysics in Q4, 2018.
The airborne geophysics survey delineated two (2) radiometric anomalies at Ankazohambo; one approximately
800m in length on the eastern ridge at Ankazohambo, and the other approximately 1.5 km in length on the
western ridge at Ankazohambo2. (Soil sampling was carried out using a handheld XRF on a 50m by 50m grid at
Ankazohambo and the small eastern anomaly at Marovoalavo, and on a 100m by 100m grid over the main
radiometric anomaly at Marovoalavo. The program consisted of a total of 1077 soil samples (428 at
Ankazohambo and 649 at Marovoalavo)3.
Like the 2018 soil sampling program, the 2019 soil sampling results confirm the presence of rare earth
mineralisation and a strong a correlation between rare earth mineralisation and radiometric anomalies at
Ankazohambo (Figure 1). The 2019 soil sampling results at Ankazohambo returned grades of up to 11.7%
TREO, with 22% of all samples at Ankazohambo greater than 1% TREO4. In contrast, only 11% of samples from
the 2018 soil sampling (from within the drilled area) returned grades greater than 1% TREO4. These results are
very encouraging given that the better drilling results in 2018 were also coincident with stronger soil and
radiometric anomalism5. The 2018 soil sampling program (223 samples) returned grades of up to 3.67% TREO6.

10. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
A Operations
Minbos Resources Limited is an exploration and development company with interests in phosphate ore within
the Cabinda Province of Angola and Rare Earth Elements in Madagascar.
The Group creates value for shareholders, through exploration activities which develop and quantify phosphate
assets. Once an asset has been developed and quantified within the framework of the JORC guidelines the
Company may elect to move to production, to extract and refine ore which is then sold as a primary product.

$503,081 on personnel expenditure and director fees.
The Group is creating value for shareholders by asset development through its exploration expenditure and
currently has no revenue generating operations. Income is generated from interest income from funds held on
deposit.
C
Business Strategies and Prospects for future financial years
The Group is actively evaluating the prospects of the Cabinda project and Ambato project. These updates are
announced via the ASX platform for shareholders information. The Group then assesses the continued strategy
and further asset development.
There are specific risks associated with the activities of the Group and general risks which are largely beyond the
control of the Group and the Directors. The risks identified below, or other risk factors, may have a material
impact on the future financial performance of the Group and the market price of the Company’s shares.
The Board reviews the risks of the Group and the action plans to address these risks on a regular basis.
a) Operating Risks
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify
mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical
difficulties encountered in mining. In addition, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and
equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect
extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and
unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
12 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Directors’ Report
b) Environmental Risks
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to the environmental laws and
regulations of Angola and Madagascar. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the
Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if mine development
proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental
obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
c) Economic
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may
have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on
its ability to fund those activities.
d) Market conditions
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the
Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
general economic outlook;
introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
interest rates and inflation rates;
changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable
influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the
Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment
in the Company.
e) Additional requirements for capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to
generate income, the Company will require further financing. Any additional equity financing will dilute
shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.
If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of
its operations and scale back its development programmes as the case may be. There is no guarantee that
the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable
to the Company.
f) Speculative investment
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult
their professional advisers before deciding whether invest.
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by
investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future
materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Company’s shares.
g) Risks with Operating in Angola and Madagascar
The Company operates out of Angola and Madagascar which have been subject to civil unrest in the recent
past. The Company believes that although tension has eased, civil and political unrest and an outbreak of
hostilities remains a risk in both countries.
The effect of unrest and instability on political, social or economic conditions in Angola or Madagascar could
result in the impairment of the exploration, development and mining operations of the Company’s projects.
13 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Directors’ Report
There is also a high level of corruption in Angola and Madagascar, especially in the extractive industries. This
corruption often influences the awarding of contracts or the granting of licenses. Furthermore, Angola and
Madagascar do not have laws that specifically address corruption, bribery and conflict of interest.
Other possible sovereign risks include, without limitation:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
changes in the terms of the relevant mining statutes and regulations;
changes to royalty arrangements;
changes to taxation rates and concessions;
changes in the ability to enforce legal rights; and
expropriation of property rights.
Any of these factors may, in the future, adversely affect the financial performance of the Company and the
market price of its Shares.
No assurance can be given regarding the future stability in Angola, Madagascar or any other country in which
the Company may have an interest.
h) The Legal Environment in Angola and Madagascar
The Company’s projects are located in Angola and Madagascar. Angola and Madagascar are considered to be
developing countries and are subject to emerging legal and political systems as compared with the system in
place in Australia. This could result in the following risks:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
political difficulties in obtaining effective legal redress in the courts whether in respect of a breach of
law or regulation or in an ownership dispute;
a higher degree of discretion held by various government officials or agencies;
the lack of political or administrative guidance on implementing applicable rules and regulations,
particularly in relation to taxation and property rights;
inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and
resolutions; or
relative inexperience of the judiciary and court in matters affecting the Company.
i) Lack of Specific Infrastructure
The Company’s projects are located in areas of Angola and Madagascar. Generally, these areas lack specific
infrastructure such as:
i.
ii.
sources of third party supplied power; and
sources of third party supplied water.
The lack of availability of this infrastructure may affect mining feasibility.
j) Workforce and Labour risks
The skill base of the local labour force in Angola and Madagascar is extremely limited. There is a severe
shortage of workers with good managerial or technical skills.
HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases represent a serious threat to maintaining a skilled workforce in the
mining industry throughout Africa. HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases are a major healthcare challenge
faced by the Company’s operations in Angola and Madagascar. There can be no assurance that the Company
will not lose members of its workforce, workforce man hours or incur increased medical costs which may
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.
k) Renewal of permits in Madagascar
As announced on 29 March 2018, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 90% interest
in MRE Mining (Mauritius) Limited who owns two exploration permits in central Madagascar. The agreement
is conditional on the renewal of the exploration permits.
14 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Directors’ Report
The renewal of the terms of each exploration permit is at the discretion of the relevant government authority
and currently the mining authority in Madagascar is not renewing permits. Renewals could be subject to a
number of specific legislative conditions. The inability to meet these conditions could affect the standing of a
permit or restrict its ability to be renewed.
If a permit is not renewed, the Company may suffer significant damage through the loss of opportunity to
develop and discover mineral resources on those permits.
11. DIVIDENDS
No dividend has been paid during the financial year and no dividend is recommended for the financial year.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Directors’ Report
Remuneration Philosophy
A
KMP have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. KMP of
Minbos comprise the Board of Directors and the CEO.
The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its KMP. To prosper the Company must attract,
motivate and retain appropriately skilled Directors and Executives.
The Group’s broad remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s
duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of
the highest quality.
No remuneration consultants were employed during the financial year.
B
Remuneration Governance, Structure and Approvals
Remuneration of Directors is currently set by the Board of Directors. The Board has not established a separate
Remuneration Committee at this point in the Group's development, nor has the Board engaged the services of
an external remuneration consultant. It is considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of
the Group renders this impractical. The Board is primarily responsible for:
• The over-arching executive remuneration framework;
• Operation of the incentive plans which apply to executive directors and senior executives (the executive
team), including key performance indicators and performance hurdles;
• Remuneration levels of executives, and
• Non-executive director fees.
Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with
the long-term interests of the Company.
➢ Non-Executive Remuneration Structure
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors consists of Directors’ fees, payable in arrears. The Board, in
accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the Non-Executive Directors
fee pool shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the 2010
Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) held on 30 November 2010 when shareholders approved an aggregate fee pool
of $300,000 per year (in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Statement that
accompanied the Notice of Meeting). The Board will not seek any increase for the Non-Executive Director pool
at the 2019 AGM.
Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is based on fees approved by the Board of Directors and is set at levels
to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the Directors. Non-Executive Directors do
not receive retirement benefits but are able to participate in share-based incentive programmes in accordance
with Company policy.
The remuneration of Non-Executives is detailed in Table 1a and Table 1b, and their contractual arrangements
are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”.
➢ Non-Executive Remuneration Approvals
The Board, in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, sets the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive
Directors, subject to shareholder approval. Within this pre-approved aggregate remuneration pool, fees paid to
Non-Executive Directors are approved by the Board of Directors in the absence of the Remuneration Committee
and is set at levels to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the Directors.
Remuneration may also include an invitation to participate in share-based incentive programmes in accordance
with Company policy.
17 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Directors’ Report
The nature and amount of remuneration is collectively considered by the Board of Directors with reference to
relevant employment conditions and fees commensurate to a company of similar size and level of activity, with
the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of high performing Directors.
➢ Executive Remuneration Structure
The nature and amount of remuneration of executives are assessed on a periodic basis with the overall objective
of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high performing Executives.
The main objectives sought when reviewing executive remuneration is that the Company has:
• Coherent remuneration policies and practices to attract and retain Executives;
• Executives who will create value for shareholders;
• Competitive remuneration offered benchmarked against the external market; and
•
Fair and responsible rewards to Executives having regard to the performance of the Group, the
performance of the Executives and the general pay environment.
The remuneration of Executives is detailed in Table 1a and Table 1b, and their contractual arrangements are
disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”.
➢ Executive Remuneration Approvals
The Company aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position
and responsibilities within the Company and aligned with market practice. Executive contracts are reviewed
annually by the Board, in the absence of a Remuneration Committee, for their approval. The process consists of
a review of company, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration internally
and externally and, where appropriate, external advice independent of management.
Executive remuneration and incentive policies and practices must be aligned with the Company’s vision, values
and overall business objectives. Executive remuneration and incentive policies and practices must be designed
to motivate management to pursue the Company’s long-term growth and success and demonstrate a clear
relationship between the Company’s overall performance and the performance of executives.

Relationship between Remuneration and Company Performance

and previous financial years when determining, and in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of
KMP.
Short Term Incentive Package
There were no short-term incentive-based payments made during the financial year (2018: $nil).
Long Term Incentive Package
Employee Share Plan:
There were no Employee Share Plan shares approved or issued during the financial year (2018: nil).

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Directors’ Report
Options:
The Board considers that for each KMP who receive options, their experience in the Mining industry will greatly
assist the Company in achieving its strategy and objectives.
The Board is of the opinion that the expiry date and exercise price of the options currently on issue to the
Directors, other KMP and its Executives is a sufficient, long term incentive to reward Executives in a manner
which aligns the element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. Subsequently, the issue of
options is not linked to performance conditions because by setting the option price at a level above the current
share price at the time the options are granted, provides incentive for management to improve the Group’s
performance.
During the 2019 and 2018 financial years there were no employee or director options issued or exercised.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 KMP received short-term employee benefits,

2. Structure the board to add value
2.1
The board should establish a nomination committee. The nomination committee should be
structured so that it:
• has at least three members
• consists of a majority of independent directors
•
is chaired by an independent director,
• disclose the charter and the members of the committee; and
• disclose the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual
attendances
The Company is currently not of a relevant size that requires the formation of a separate Nomination
Committee.
The Board has developed a nomination committee charter and the matters typically dealt with by
such a committee are dealt with by the Board of Directors. The charter is included in the Company’s
corporate governance plan which is available on the Company’s website www.minbos.com.
The Company does not comply with ASX Principle 2.1 as the majority of the Board is not independent
and the Board performs the role of the committee. The Company intends to seek out and appoint
additional independent Directors to the Board when the size and scale of the Company justify and
warrant their inclusion, for the time being the Company maintains a mix of Directors from different
backgrounds with complementary skills and experience.
When a board vacancy becomes available, the Board will consider the existing mix of skills of the
existing Board and define the skill set that will be sought in candidates to fill the vacancy. Directors
will review a range of suitable candidates and may obtain the services of a reputable recruitment
agent to assist with candidate selection. The most appropriate candidate will be appointed to the role
until the Director is elected by members at the next annual general meeting of the Company.
The board should disclose a board skills matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity that the
board currently has or is looking to achieve in its membership.

The board should disclose the names of the directors considered by the Board to be independent
directors and the length of service of each director
In making this assessment, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances. Relationships
that the Board will take into consideration when assessing independence are whether a Director:
• is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly
with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;
• is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or
another Company member, and there has not been a period of at least three years between
ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;
• has within the last three years been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material
consultant to the Company or another Company member, or an employee materially
associated with the service provided;

or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; or
• has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another Company member other

All 4 Directors are Non-Executive Directors but only Mr Bill Oliver is considered to be an independent
Director. Mr Oliver has been a Director of Minbos since September 2013.
2.4
A majority of the board of the company should be independent directors
The Company does not currently comply with this recommendation as only one of the 4 Directors Mr
Bill Oliver is regarded as an independent Director.
The Company currently maintains a mix of Directors from different backgrounds with complementary
skills and experience, however, is aware of the importance of having a Board with a majority of its
Directors being independent. In the future, the Company intends to seek out and appoint
independent directors to the Board when additional directors are required in order to meet the ASX
recommendation of maintaining a majority of independent Non-Executive Directors.
Messrs Peter Wall and Damian Black were both substantial security holders until May 2016. In
addition, Mr Wall is a partner at Steinepreis Paganin Lawyers and Consultants that provides legal
services to the Company.
Ms Dganit Baldar was appointed as a Director following substantial security holder Green Services
Innovations Ltd exercising their right to appoint a Director to the Board.
The chair of the board should be an independent director and should not be the same person as the
CEO.
2.5
Mr Lindsay Reed is the CEO of Minbos and Mr Peter Wall the Chairman. Mr Wall is not an
independent director. The Company intends to seek out and appoint an independent chairman in the
future as operations expand; however, the Company believes that the current Board structure is best
suited to enable the Company to deliver Shareholder value at present.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Minbos Resources Limited (referred to as ‘Minbos’ or the ‘Company’ or ‘Parent Entity’) is a company domiciled
in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office and principal place of business is disclosed in the
Corporate Directory of the Annual Report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for
the year ended 30 June 2019 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the
‘Consolidated Entity’ or the ‘Group’). The Group is primarily involved in phosphate exploration in Africa and rare
earth elements in Madagascar.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the
Corporations Act 2001. Minbos Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial
statements.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 27 September 2019.
(a) Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Entity also comply with International Financial
Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’).
(b) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the
historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated.
(c) Going Concern
For the year ended 30 June 2019 the group recorded a loss of $1,715,313, net cash outflows from operating
activities of $1,689,662 and had net working capital of $2,117,611. Furthermore, the Consolidated Entity
has not generated revenues from operations during the year.
The directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate as the Group has sufficient
cash balance to fund its exploration and corporate activities for the next twelve months.
(d) New and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted by the Group
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The
new accounting policies are disclosed below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
➢
AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces the provisions of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and
financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge
accounting.
The adoption of AASB 9 from 1 July 2018 resulted in no material changes in accounting policies and
adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The Company assessed which business
models apply to the financial assets held by the Group and has classified its financial instruments into the
appropriate AASB 9 categories.
There was no impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements as a result of adoption.
41 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
➢
AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers replaces AASB 118 Revenue. AASB 15 was adopted by the
Group on 1 July 2018. AASB 15 provides a single, principles-based five step model to be applied to all
contracts with customers.
The Group has considered AASB 15 in detail and determined that the impact on the Group‘s sales revenue
from contracts under AASB 15 is insignificant on transition date, 1 July 2018, and at reporting date 30 June
2019. Noting that the Company is yet to be in production and selling product and interest income is the
principal source of revenue at present.
(e) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
The Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but
are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual period ended 30 June
2019. The Group intends to adopt these standards and interpretations if applicable, when they become
effective.
Nature of Change
AASB 16: Leases (issued February 2016)
AASB 16 eliminates the operating and
lease
classifications for lessees currently accounted for under AASB
117 Leases. It instead requires an entity to bring most leases
into its statement of financial position in a similar way to how
existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity
will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use
asset in its statement of financial position for most leases.
finance
There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period
of 12 months or less and for low value leases.
Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from AASB 117.

When this standard is first

financial statements.
3. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
(i) Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Minbos
Resources Limited (‘Company’ or ‘Parent Entity’) as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for
the year then ended. Minbos Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial
report as the Group or the Consolidated Entity.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group
controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are
deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the
impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Financial
Position respectively.
42 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(ii) Associates
Associates are entities over which the consolidated entity has significant influence but not control or joint
control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method,
the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the
movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in
the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share
of net assets of the associates. Cost includes equity contribution and loan advances (interest free with no
set term of repayment). Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of
the investment.
When the consolidated entity’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the
associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the consolidated entity does not recognise
further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
(iii) Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as
transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment
between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative
interest in the subsidiary. Any differences between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling
interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity
attributable to owners of Minbos Resources Limited.
When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the
entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The
fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained
interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously
recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had
directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in
other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a jointly-controlled entity or an associate is reduced but joint control or
significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
4.
(i) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented
in Australian dollars. The functional and
presentation currency of the Company is Australian dollars (AUD). The functional currency of the
subsidiaries is United States dollars (USD).
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement
of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity
as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net
investments in a foreign operation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the Consolidated Statement
of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains
and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income
on a net basis within other income or other expenses.
43 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a
hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are
translated into the presentation currency as follows:
• Assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing
•
rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position,
Income and expenses for each Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income are
translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative
effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are
translated at the dates of the transactions), and
• All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign
entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are
recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming
part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss,
as part of the gain or loss on sale.
5. KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management
to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have
been consistently applied by each entity in the Group.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of
the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. In particular, information
about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have
the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following
notes:
(i) Note 9: Exploration and evaluation expenditure – The Company incurred exploration expenditure on the
Ambato project of $744,471 (2018: $122,030), which was reclassified through the profit or loss as Minbos
only has an option with Tana Minerals Ltd (Tana) whereby Minbos can acquire 90% of the shares in MRE
Mining (Mauritius) Limited (MRE). MRE’s sole asset is a wholly owned subsidiary in Madagascar which holds
the exploration permits for the Ambato Project. During the period, Minbos gave notice to Tana that it would
extend the Exclusivity Period by making a cash payment of $25,000. The acquisition of MRE is conditional
upon Minbos obtaining all the required regulatory and shareholder approvals, completing due diligence on
the project and the renewal of the exploration permits.
The Company also incurred exploration expenditure on the Cabinda project of $49,357 (2018: $563,609),
which was reclassified through the profit or loss as the the Angolan National Directorate of Mineral
Resources issued Mongo Tando LDA (Mongo Tando) with a Notice of Termination for the Mineral investment
Contracts for Prospecting of the Phosphate Rock in the province of Cabinda during the financial year.
6. OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an

(ii) Exploration expenditure in relation to the Ambato Project has not been capitalised on the balance sheet at
30 June 2019 as Minbos has only entered into an option with Tana Minerals Ltd (Tana) whereby Minbos can
acquire 90% of the shares in MRE Mining (Mauritius) Limited (MRE). MRE’s sole asset is a wholly owned
subsidiary in Madagascar which holds the exploration permits for the Ambato Project. During the period,
Minbos gave notice to Tana that it would extend the Exclusivity Period by making a cash payment of $25,000.
The acquisition of MRE is conditional upon Minbos obtaining all the required regulatory and shareholder
approvals, completing due diligence on the project and the renewal of the exploration permits.
Renewals of exploration licenses by the Bureau de Cadastre Minier de Madagascar have not received
ministerial approval for several years. It is expected the recently concluded National Assembly elections and
the appointment of a new Ministry will reinstate this process.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Exploration and evaluation expenditure, which are intangible costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are
capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the
Consolidated Entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:
(i)
the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the
area of interest; or
(ii) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable
assessment of the existence or other wise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant
operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if one or more of the following facts and
circumstances exist:
(i)
the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or
will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed.
(ii) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area
is neither budgeted nor planned.
(iii) exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of
commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such
activities in the specific area.
(iv) sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the
carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full, from successful
development or by sale.
For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units
to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of
interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested
for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mineral property and development assets within
plant and equipment.

The Group has Australian carried forward tax losses of $10,931,707 (tax effected at 30%, $3,279,512) as at 30
June 2019 (2018: $9,957,539 (tax effected at 30%, $2,987,262)). In view of the Group's trading position, the
Directors have not included this tax benefit in the Group's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. A tax
benefit will only be recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the
deferred tax asset to be recovered.
The tax benefits of the above deferred tax assets will only be obtained if:
(a) The Consolidated Entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to
enable the benefits to be utilised;
(b) The Consolidated Entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
(c) No changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the Consolidated Entity from utilising the benefits.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Current taxes
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 the end of the reporting date. Current tax
liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant
taxation authority.
Deferred taxes
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during
the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred 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 amount 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 the end of
the reporting period. Their measurements also reflect the manner in which management expects to recover or
settle that 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.
Current 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 the future periods in which significant amounts of
deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
(a) Basic loss per share
The calculation of basic loss per share at 30 June 2019 was based on the loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders of $1,715,313 (2018: $17,624,018) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the financial year ended 30 June 2019 of 2,681,878,266 (2018: 2,681,878,266) calculated as follows:

(0.007)
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company,
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for the bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during
the year.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(b) Diluted loss per share
Potential ordinary shares are not considered dilutive, thus diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per
share.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into
account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential
ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration
in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(i) Other receivables
On 5 December 2012 Minbos signed a binding loan agreement with Robert McCrae (former Chief Executive
Officer) to repay his outstanding loan by 31 May 2013 and provide Minbos with security over 1,500,000 of the
Company’s shares for the outstanding loan. At 30 June 2019 the loan had not been repaid, the Company
therefore made a provision against the unrecoverable portion of the loan. The outstanding balance at 30 June
2019 was $1,500 (2018: $4,500) being the value of the 1,500,000 Minbos shares held as security.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less any loss allowance. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 14
days.
Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’)
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is
not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the
asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating
cash flows.
Other receivables
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any loss allowance. Other receivables do not contain
impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history, it is expected that these other balances will be
received when due.
Impairment of assets
Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs
to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for
which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from
other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Owned assets
Items of plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and less impairment losses
where applicable (see below).
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-
constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to
bringing the asset to a work condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items
and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the
related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as
separate items (major components).
Subsequent costs
The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of
such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the
item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in
the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as an expense as incurred.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income using
a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and equipment.
The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows:
• Computer equipment:
• Furniture & Fittings:
3 years
6 to 10 years
The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reviewed at each financial
year end and if appropriate, adjusted.

it is probably that resources will be expended to settle the obligation; and
a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Provision is made for the Company’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits
are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after
the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages,
salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to
be paid when the obligation is settled.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
A provision is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the Consolidated Entity has a
present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by
discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

(c) Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to:
• safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
• maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Given the stage of the Company’s development there are no formal targets set for return on capital. There were
no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to
externally imposed capital requirements. The net equity of the Company is equivalent to capital. Net capital is
obtained through capital raisings on the Australian Securities Exchange.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction,
net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for
the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example as a result of a share buy-back, those
instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in
the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income
taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

Employee share plan reserve
The reserve represents the value of shares issued under the Group’s Employee Share Plan that the Consolidated
Entity is required to include in the consolidated financial statements. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or
loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Consolidated Entity’s own equity instruments.
The Company approved remuneration of 37,000,000 shares to Mr Reed during the 2015 financial year at an
exercise price of $0.003 subject to certain vesting conditions. During the prior year ended 30 June 2017, the
entire employee benefits expense in relation to these shares was recognised by the Company. The vesting
conditions in relation to these shares were met during the 2018 financial year.
Foreign currency translation reserve
The translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial
statements of foreign operations where their functional currency is different to the presentation currency of the
reporting entity.

(i) During the 2018 financial year Minbos issued a notice of termination for the SSA with Petril and each of the
shareholders of Petril, under which Minbos agreed to acquire all the shares of Petril subject to the
satisfaction, or waiver, of conditions precedent by the end date of 24 October 2017. The conditions
precedent were not satisfied by the end date and were not waived by the parties. Given the material
uncertainties with the Joint Venture as indicated by the termination of the share sale agreement with Petril,
management decided to assess the recoverable amount of the asset as nil and fully impaired the loan.
On 30 November 2018, the Company announced that the Angolan National Directorate of Mineral Resources
issued Mongo Tando LDA (Mongo Tando) with a Notice of Termination for the Mineral investment Contracts for
Prospecting of the Phosphate Rock in the province of Cabinda.

Tranche 1: The first class of performance rights can convert to a total of 178,372,482 fully paid ordinary shares
(75% of 237,829,976 shares) subject to Sofosa satisfying performance milestones within 24 months from the
date of the agreement. Tranche 1 performance rights have the following performance conditions (all conditions
must be satisfied):
• Grant of the new exploration permits for the Cabinda project (Completed),
• Sofosa transferring all of the shares it holds in Mongo Tando Ltda to Minbos or its nominee (Minbos and
Petril are in the process of obtaining ANIP approval to transfer the shares to Mongo Tando Limited BVI),
• Strategically supporting Minbos and its corporate initiatives.
These performance rights expired on the 27 January 2017 without vesting.
Tranche 2:
The second class of performance rights can convert to a total of 59,457,494 fully paid ordinary shares (25% of
237,829,976 shares) subject to Minbos receiving a licence to Mine on the Cabinda project within 36 months
from the date the agreements and pursuant to Sofosa’s assistance.
These performance rights expired on 27 January 2018 and an adjustment to reverse the expense was therefore
recognised during the previous financial year (refer table (a) above).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and
interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the
unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial
performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to
which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and
assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange prices. Ageing analyses and monitoring
of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is monitored through the
development of future cash flow forecasts.
Risk management is carried out by Management and overseen by the Board of Directors with assistance from
suitably qualified external advisors.
The main risks arising for the Group are foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The
Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
The carrying values of the Group’s financial instruments are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Financial liabilities

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency
exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities
denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
(ii)
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk due to variable interest being earned on its interest-bearing bank
accounts. At the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following interest-bearing financial
instruments:

Sensitivity
Within this analysis, consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions and the mix of fixed and
variable interest rates. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence
at the reporting date. The 1% increase and 1% decrease in rates is based on reasonably expected possible
changes over a financial year, using the observed range of historical rates for the preceding five-year period.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
At 30 June 2019, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held
constant, post-tax losses and equity would have been affected as follows:

The other financial instruments of the Group that are not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing
and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations. During the year credit risk has principally arisen from the financial assets of the Group,
which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk
arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of
these instruments.
The carrying amount of financial assets included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position represents
the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets. The Group does not hold any credit
derivatives to offset its credit exposure. The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and
as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables.
Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group does not have a
significant exposure to bad debts.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group except for the following:
• Note 12: Cash and cash equivalents: Cash held with National Australia Bank and Bankwest.
(i) Cash
The Group’s primary bankers are National Australia Bank and Bankwest. The Board considers the use of these
financial institutions, which have a rating of AA- from Standards and Poor’s, respectively, to be sufficient in the
management of credit risk with regards to these funds.
Cash at bank and short-term bank deposits:

(ii) Trade Debtors
While the Group has policies in place to ensure that transactions with third parties have an appropriate credit
history, the management of current and potential credit risk exposures is limited as far as is considered
commercially appropriate. Up to the date of this report, the Board has placed no requirement for collateral on
existing debtors.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to
external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the
availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due
and to close out market positions.
The Directors and Management monitor the cash outflow of the Group on an on-going basis against budget and
the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk.
The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables and employee provisions incurred in
the normal course of the business. Trade payables were non-interest bearing and were paid within the normal
30-60 day terms of creditor payments.
The table below reflects the respective undiscounted cash flows for financial liabilities existing at 30 June 2019.

(d) Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement
hierarchy:
(i)
Level 1 - the instrument has quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
(ii) Level 2 - a valuation technique using inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for
the financial instrument, either directly (i.e. as prices), or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); or
(iii) Level 3 - a valuation technique using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).
At 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 the Group did not have financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair
value. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of the current receivables and payables is assumed
to approximate their fair value.
The Group does not have any level 2 or 3 assets or liabilities.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value
through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. Subsequent to
initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or
substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted
for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are
derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
60 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2019
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on
demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and
cash equivalents for the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
Impairment
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset
or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and
impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the assets (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has
an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be
reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged
decline in the fair value of the security below its cost it considered an indicator that the assets are impaired.
Assets carried at amortised cost
For loans and receivables, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount
and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have been incurred)
discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced
and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income. If a loan or held-to maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate or
measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a
practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an
observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, and the decrease can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s
credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
23. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources
and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as the Board of Directors and the
Chief Executive Officer.
During the financial year the Angolan National Directorate of Mineral Resources issued Mongo Tando LDA
(Mongo Tando) with a Notice of Termination for the Mineral investment Contracts for Prospecting of the
Phosphate Rock in the province of Cabinda. The Angolan Ministry of Mineral Resources and Petroleum
(MIREMPET) has officially announced its intention to launch a public tender in the current half for the phosphate
assets in the Cabinda and Zaire provinces of Angola. Minbos has formally expressed interest in receiving the
tender documents and is currently preparing its tender for the Rock Phosphate Exploration Licenses in Angola
with its local partner. As Minbos does not currently have tenure to the Angolan Phosphate Project, the Company
deems that its main operating segment is its rare earth minerals in Madagascar.
The Board considers its business operations in rare earths to be its primary reporting function. Results are
analysed as a whole by the chief operating decision maker, this being the Chief Executive Officer and the Board
of Directors. Consequently revenue, profit, net assets and total assets for the operating segment are reflected in
this financial report.

(ii) During the 2018 financial year Minbos issued a notice of termination for the SSA with Petril and each of the
shareholders of Petril, under which Minbos agreed to acquire all the shares of Petril subject to the
satisfaction, or waiver, of conditions precedent by the end date of 24 October 2017. The conditions
precedent were not satisfied by the end date and were not waived by the parties. Given the material
uncertainties with the Joint Venture as indicated by the termination of the share sale agreement with Petril,
management decided to assess the recoverable amount of the asset as nil and fully impaired the loan.
The loan to Associate was an unsecured interest-free loan for the purpose of obtaining the required working
capital for the establishment and ongoing operation of the Project in Angola. Petril Phosphates Limited, the
ultimate 50% holder in the Associate, along with Minbos’ ultimate 50% holding in the Associate, each contributed
in equal portions loans receivable.
(e) Issue of shares in lieu of services of related parties
There were no shares issued in lieu of services of related parties during the financial year (2018: Nil).

During the 2015 financial year, Minbos also issued Sofosa with two separate classes of performance rights that
can convert up to a total of 237,829,976 fully paid ordinary shares in Minbos. Of this balance, 178,372,482
performance rights expired on the 27 January 2017 and the share-based payment relating to these performance
rights was therefore reversed at 30 June 2017. The remaining 59,457,494 performance rights held by Sofosa are
convertible into fully paid ordinary shares, subject to receiving a licence to Mine on the Cabinda project, these
performance rights expire on 27 January 2018. At 31 December 2017 it was apparent that the milestone would
not be achieved, hence an adjustment to reverse the expense was recognised during the 2018 financial year.

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.
We have not identified any key audit matters for Minbos Resources Limited.

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 (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
