2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 1
Chairman’s Letter
To our shareholders,
When I sit down to write this letter and reflect on the
year that’s passed, I am constantly reminded of the
awesome impact our team is having in Angola. Faced
with the challenge of the COVID-19 global health crisis,
their navigation of the travel disruptions and numerous
project delays has been nothing short of remarkable.
In the span of a year, we have delivered a Scoping Study,
undertaken a Definitive Feasibility Study and received
our Mining License for the Cabinda Phosphate Project.
These are important steps in growing a high impact,
sustainable nutrient business and puts the Company in
good stead to be in production in late 2022.
Working with our new Project Partners, the
International Fertilizer Development Center, we
have opened up a dialogue with the Government of
Angola for an offtake program to deliver our fertilizer
to Angola’s 3 million smallholder farmers. Food
demand from Angola and middle Africa is exploding
with growing populations currently being met by
imported food product. Local primary agriculture is our
opportunity in the Grow to Eat, Grow to Sell and Grow
to Export markets.
Our purpose, strategy and responsibility to the local
communities we operate are all interconnected, the
Company is committed to measuring, monitoring and
reporting on its ESG progress, engaging an impact
monitoring technology platform to streamline the
outcomes measurement and ongoing ESG
reporting process.
Investing in our business isn’t only about developing
a fertilizer product and solutions to enhancing our
operations. Just as important is putting time, money
and effort into our culture and our people and I am very
proud to be Chairman of a Company that is investing in
not only our Perth-based team, but also building a local
in-country team in our newly minted office in Luanda.
By nature, I focus on what lies ahead and the
Company’s focus is firmly on the next 12-18 months
as we look not only to deliver our Phosphate Fertilizer,
but to expand into a Primary Producer of NPK products
through our NPK for Angola Strategy.
The Company’s opportunities are numerous, chief
among our near-term plans is capitalising on Angola’s
world-leading hydropower infrastructure to deliver a
truly green ammonia product.
There are also significant opportunities in bulk fertilizer
blending, handling and distribution as well as significant
interest in operating a million-hectare tract of the
world’s most prospective farmland.
2 | MINBOS RESOURCES LIMITED
Our Company’s future lies in our connection to a
country, which has embraced our vision to integrate
ourselves into their communities and be a part of a
rising tide that lifts all boats.
Our best days are ahead of us, and
I am excited to see what the next 12
months has in store for the Company.
None of this would be possible without the efforts of
Chief Executive Officer Lindsay Reed who has driven
much of the innovation and design of the Cabinda
Project and Partnerships. His boundless energy and
enthusiasm for the Project is the reason why the Project
has progressed in leaps in bounds. He has had to
endure a significant time overseas away from his family
to pursue many of the opportunities Minbos has been
able to execute. I thank Lindsay for his efforts.
I would also like to make special mention of our
in-country attaché, Mr Camache Caturichi who has
worked tirelessly to assist Lindsay in progressing
the Project.
Finally, I would like to thank the Government and
people of Angola, for awarding us custodianship of the
Cabinda Project, which the Company strongly believes
has the potential to both change Angola and add
significant value for Minbos Shareholders.
As Chairman, it gives me great pleasure to present the
2021 Annual Report for Minbos Resources Limited,
I thank you for your support throughout financial
year 2021 and hope that our progress during the
forthcoming year will continue to add value to your
investment in Minbos.
I would also like to thank my fellow board members
and management for all their efforts and success
during the past year.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr Peter Wall
Non-Executive Chairman

production target of 6.5Mt at 30.2% P2O5 was selected
from pit optimization studies.
The project level Scoping Study provides estimates for
100% of the project. Minbos will hold an 85% interest
in the project and will carry an in-country partner with
15% interest. The Scoping Study demonstrates the
potential for robust returns for the Project.
The Project is based on an initial nameplate capacity
of 150,000tpa of enhanced Phosphate Rock, but is
scheduled to commence production at 50,000tpa.
The plant is forecast to expand in two stages adding
a second and third granulation circuit to reach a
name plate capacity of 450,000tpa after 8 years.

Definitive Feasibility Study
Following the positive Scoping Study results, the
Company immediately commenced a Definitive
Feasibility Study (DFS) on the Cabinda Phosphate
Project. A number of high-quality consultants were
appointed for key components of the DFS.
FEECO – In September, the Company appointed
FEECO, an industry-leading detailed plant engineer
and manufacturer for the basic engineering package
associated with the planned granulation plant major
equipment3. The FEECO Engineering Package built on
the process package undertaken by the International
Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) including the

Grupo Simples – Also in September, the Company
appointed Grupo Simples to conduct an Environmental
Impact Study (EIS) and a Waste Management Plan
(WMP) for the Cácata Mine and the Granulation Plant4
based on specialist environmental and social impact
assessment (ESIA) reports.
Grupo Simples has provided specialist environmental
consultancy services in Angola since 2005.
The submission of the EIS to the Ministry of Culture
Tourism and Environment will allow the Company
to obtain the respective Installation Environmental
License required for construction of the Cácata Mine
and the Granulation Plant.
The WMP constitutes a legal requirement applicable to
obtaining the above Installation Environmental Licence
and therefore sits within the scope of works to be
completed by Grupo Simples.

Approvals and Permitting
Mineral Investment Contract
In January, the Company executed the Mineral
Investment Contract (MIC) for the Cabinda Phosphate
Project located in the Cabinda Province of Angola7.
Officially signed by Dr André Francisco Buta Neto,
National Director of Mineral Resources, and
homologated by Angola’s Minister of Mineral Resources
and Petroleum, Mr Diamantino Azevedo, the MIC
provides for exploration, feasibility studies and
exploitation of the phosphate rock by Minbos within the
Cabinda Phosphate Project concession area.
The execution of the MIC also formalised engagement
by Minbos with Government Ministries and the
Province of Cabinda, allowing the Company to complete
approvals, land and port access agreements, offtake
agreements and an investment contract for the
Granulation Plant.
Mining Licence Granted
In March, the Company announced that it received
approval for the exploitation of the Cabinda Phosphate
Project, located in Angola8. Angola’s Ministry of Mineral
Resources, Petroleum and Gas (MIREMPET) has
approved the Company’s Mining Licence, renewable
for up to 35 years, for the mining of phosphate at the
Cácata Deposit.
The exclusive mining rights have been granted over
an 85km2 area, including the designated project area,
encompassing the Cácata high-grade phosphate
deposit, proposed open-pit mine, waste and ore
stockpiles, and all associated infrastructure
required for the mining operations.
Environment, Social and Governance
As part of its sustainability strategy, the Company will
adopt a set of Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG) metrics and disclosures as released by the World
Economic Forum (WEF) in Geneva, Switzerland9.
The context in which the Company operates has been
transformed by climate impact, nature loss, and social
unrest around inclusion and working conditions.
This new global environment is challenging the
traditional expectations of corporations and redirecting
investment capital. Global sustainable investment now
tops $30 trillion, up 68% since 2014 and tenfold since
2004. Minbos is charting a course to build resilience
and enhance our social licence through a greater
commitment to long-term, sustainable value creation
that embraces the wider demands of people and planet.
The Board of the Company has resolved to adopt the
WEF ESG framework and instructed management to set
up an impact measurement plan for each sustainability
area which includes, but is not limited to, governance,
anti-corruption practices, ethical behaviour, child
labour, GHG emissions, land use, ecological sensitivity,
water consumption, diversity and inclusion, pay
equality and local tax payments.
To ensure that Minbos can measure, monitor, and
report on its ESG progress, the Company has engaged
impact monitoring technology platform “Socialsuite”
to streamline the outcomes measurement and
ongoing ESG reporting process. The Company’s goal
is to demonstrate progress on its ESG scorecard, but

more broadly, requires progress on a range of ESG
benchmarks as set out by the WEF’s ESG White Paper.
The Company will update the market regularly on its
ESG progress and seek to ensure that the Cabinda
Phosphate Project remains an impact investment for
shareholders and local communities.
Fertilizer Market Developments
MoU with IFDC to develop and grow market
Minbos has identified three key markets for its
Phosphate products (Figure 2). A ‘Grow to Eat’ market,
which is expected to reach 200,000 tonnes in 1-5 years,
promoting fertilizer self-sufficiency, food security and
employment for smallholder farmers. A ‘Grow to Sell’
market, which for the commercial farming sector, is
expected to grow to 400,000t in 5-10 years, supported
by the establishment of agricultural service sector in
seeds, chemicals, insurance, transport, laboratories.
A ‘Grow to Export’ market, which has the potential of
more than 650,000t over the next decade, with the
development of an export agriculture sector boosted
through the availability of low cost fertilizer, reducing
Angola’s reliance on imported food and increasing
foreign exchange reserves10.
In December, the Company executed a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) with the International Fertilizer
Development Center (IFDC) to develop and grow the
Grow to Eat (smallholder farmer) market in Angola.
The IFDC is an international not-for-profit organisation,
dedicated to scientific innovations that increase
global food production, protect the environment and
empowers smallholder farmers.
Across Africa, the IFDC runs country-scale agricultural
projects, introducing farmers to improved agricultural
practices, fertilizer technologies and facilitation of
market access. The MoU provides the platform to
develop a joint proposal for a multi-year project
designed to support the development of the local
fertilizer market in Angola. The MoU will leverage
the IFDC’s innovative research, market expertise and
strategic partners to identify sustainable solutions for
soil and plant nutrition for the benefit of smallholder
farmers, local communities and the environment.

New Minbos Fertilizer Patent
Fertilizer Pricing Update
In June, Minbos lodged an Australian provisional patent
application for a new phosphate rock fertilizer blend,
with the potential to produce a 100% organic phosphate
fertilizer using less reactive phosphate rocks11.
The new phosphate rock fertilizer blend promotes the
early release of phosphate nutrients from phosphate
rock, potentially eliminating Monoammonium
Phosphate (MAP) from the proposed Cabinda
Phosphate granule formulation – delivering a
100% organic fertilizer blend.
The new patent application has been filed to cover the
new phosphate rock fertilizer blend following analysis
of results comparing different product forms of the
Cabinda Phosphate Granules in field trials in Angola
and, greenhouse trials at the IFDC in the USA, and a
survey of literature.
P nutrient dissolution from the new blend is expected
to be predominantly controlled by plant uptake. In
contrast, Water Soluble Phosphates (WSP) sometimes
dissolve quicker than plant uptake resulting in excess
phosphate retention in soil. Controlled release of P
nutrient offers significant efficiency and
environmental advantages.
Production of the new phosphate rock fertilizer
blend can potentially be applied to the proposed
Minbos Granulation Plant and be incorporated in the
production profile from commissioning in 2022.
The new fertilizer blend covered by the patent
application will be trialled during the Company’s
2021/22 growing season through soil incubation tests,
growth chamber trials, greenhouse, and field trials.
A cost benefit analysis will be conducted after these
trials12.
Minbos intends to apply for patent protection in major
global agricultural markets to ensure the availability
of organic fertilizer in Angola and the region.
In February, the Company provided an update on
phosphate market conditions, with the sharp increase
in the global phosphate fertilizer price having a
potentially positive economic impact on the Company’s
Cabinda Phosphate Project.
The commonly reported reference price for WSP
fertilizers is ‘DAP FOB Tampa’ (Diammonium Phosphate
free on board Tampa, USA).
• December 2019 - DAP FOB Tampa at US$248 per
tonne as Minbos submitted its winning tender
for the Cabinda Phosphate Project.
• August 2020 - The price increased to US$328
per tonne as Minbos published the Scoping
Study for the Cabinda Phosphate Project.
• February 2021 - DAP reached US$497 per tonne
in the first week of February 2021, a doubling of
prices since Minbos submitted its successful tender.
• September 2021 – DAP reached $660 per tonne,
a doubling of the price since Minbos completed
its scoping study.
DAP prices were expected to increase after a long
period of depressed prices due to production capacity
additions, the USA-China trade war and reduced
plantings in the USA due to adverse weather events.
The increase has been accelerated by counter veiling
duties imposed by the USA on other major producers,
supply chain disruptions due to COVID and a sharp
uptick in many agricultural commodities.
The Company may produce an Enhanced Phosphate
Rock (EPR) product that blends phosphate rock with a
portion of monoammonium phosphate (MAP), and MAP
historically correlates with the price of DAP. Therefore,
as the price of DAP/MAP increases, this will increase
the product cost but also the gross product margin.
Likewise, as the price of DAP/MAP decreases, so to
will the product cost and margin.

Review of Business Risks
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 include mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may
affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, health incidents
including pandemic diseases like COVID-19 (coronavirus), industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or
increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.

Director’s Report
Directors’ Report
b) Market Demand Risk
Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report
For the year ended 30 June 2021
On 11 December 2020 the Company announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the International
Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) to develop a program, in conjunction with the Angolan government, to
provide fertilizer to smallholder famers. The IFDC has released market studies indicating the smallholder farmer
market could reach 200,000t within 1-5 years21. If this program fails to eventuate in a binding offtake agreement
for the Company, there is a risk of slower penetration into the market and a longer time to generate returns for
debt and equity holders.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Construction Cost Risk
In August 2020 the Company released a Scoping Study22 for the Cabinda Phosphate Project, which included
an estimate of $27.9M for the construction of a Granulation Plant. The Company is currently completing a
Definitive Feasibility Study that will revise this estimate. There are risks with all construction projects that
material costs will rise. Additionally, it is likely that the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic will generate new
and/or increased costs, such as its impact on global supply chains and on workforce, that will result in higher
costs of construction.
g) 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

For the year ended 30 June 2021
the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable
to the Company.
h) 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.
i) Risks with Operating in Angola and Madagascar
The Company operates out of Angola and Madagascar which historically have been subject to civil unrest.
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.
Other possible sovereign risks include, without limitation:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
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;
corruption that influences the awarding of contracts or the granting of licenses; 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.
j) 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.
k) 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.

Director’s Report
Directors’ Report
l) Workforce and Labour risks
Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report
For the year ended 30 June 2021
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.
m) 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.
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 by the loss of opportunity to develop and discover
mineral resources on those permits.
n) Obtaining Environmental Permits for the Cabinda Phosphate Project
The Company will require two environmental permits before it can proceed with its Cabinda Phosphate
Project (the project): one for the mining activity and the other for constructing and operating the granulation
plant. The Company is currently completing necessary environmental studies as part of its Definitive
Feasibility Study for the project and expects to be lodge final documents for both environmental permits
towards the end of 2021. If permits are not granted then the Company may need to complete further works
for a new lodgement, which may delay the project, or may cause the project to be postponed indefinitely.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
7.
On 20 July 2020 the Company incorporated a private company in Mauritius, limited by shares, as a wholly owned
subsidiary called Phobos Ltd.
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial
year.
8. MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
On 1 July 2021 the Company approved the purchase of two major long-lead components for the granulation
plant. The decision to order the major components of the Granulation Plant before completion of the DFS is
based on Board’s confidence that the DFS will confirm the Project’s viability.
On 5 July 2021 the Company issued 20,000,000 unlisted options to employees and consultants under the
employee Incentive Option Plan that was adopted at the Annual General Meeting dated 3 November 2020.
On 19 July 2021 the Company completed another key condition of its Mineral Investment Contract, with markers
installed, outlining the Cabinda Phosphate Licence. Marking of the licence is a key project formality, allowing the
Company to complete site preparation works and further exploration.

Project, enabling HCV Africa to complete the Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (EISA) reports by the
end of this year. The EISA reports are critical path activities and form the basis of the Environmental Study and
Waste Management Plan, to be completed by Grupo Simples.
On 13 September 2021 the Company completed a 14-tonne bulk sample, targeting Phosphate Rock material
from the high-grade zone (+29% P205). The bulk samples are currently enroute to the International Fertilizer
Development Center (IFDC) headquarters in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, for blend and granulation optimisation,
field, and greenhouse trials.
On 27 September the Company announced that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
Angolan agribusiness Sociedade Agroquímica Industrial, S.A. (Sangrid) to conduct feasibility studies on the
establishment of a Nitrogen, Phosphate, Potassium (NPK) fertilizer blending plant and distribution business in
Angola’s Malanje region. Any company that is formed as an outcome of the feasibility work performed under
the MoU shall apportion equity ownership at incorporation of 60% Minbos and 40% Sangrid.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
9.
Future developments of the Company are anticipated to include:
•
Eight tonnes of the bulk sample shipped to the IFDC shall be used to run a large-scale pilot trial which
will improve the Company’s knowledge of the granulation process and refine product strategies. The
product will be used for greenhouse and field trials in the coming growing season.
•
• Undertake dry season environmental surveys for the mine and granulation plant locations allowing the
compilation of the final environmental reports. This is currently the critical path activity for the
Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS).
Finalise the DFS capital and operational expenditure numbers for inclusion in the project financial model
and commence engagement with project financiers.
Launch of the IFDC Angolan Farm and Fertilizer Productivity Program in Angola, with meetings
scheduled with stakeholder ministries and agencies.
•
The impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted the
Company up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after
the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australia
Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel
restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may
significantly affect the entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the entity's state of affairs in future
financial years.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report
For the year ended 30 June 2021
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, the CEO and the CFO.
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.
Remuneration Governance, Structure and Approvals
B
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.
Ø 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 2021 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”.
Ø 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.
2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 25
26 | P a g e
Director’s Report
Directors’ Report
Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report
For the year ended 30 June 2021
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.
Ø 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”.
Ø 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
Given the current phase of the Company’s development the Board does not consider earnings during the current
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 (2020: $nil).
Long Term Incentive Package
Incentive Performance Rights Plan:
On 7 April 2021 shareholders approved the Company’s adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled
“Incentive Performance Rights Plan” (Performance Rights Plan) and for the issue of Performance Rights under
the Performance Rights Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

For the year ended 30 June 2021
The objective of the Performance Rights Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company
considers that the adoption of the Performance Rights Plan and the future issue of Performance Rights under
the Performance Rights Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future
growth of the Company.
On 30 April 2021, the Company issued the following performance rights under the Company’s incentive
Performance Rights Plan as approved by shareholders on 7 April 2021 at the Company’s General Meeting:
• 4,500,000 performance rights to Peter Wall (Non-Executive Chairman), and
• 9,000,000 performance rights to Lindsay Reed (CEO).
The terms and conditions of the performance rights are summarised below:

Options:
On 3 November 2020 shareholders approved the Company’s adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled
“Incentive Option Plan” (Option Plan) and for the issue of Options under that Option Plan in accordance with
Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).
The objective of the Option Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers
that the adoption of the Option Plan and the future issue of Options under the Option Plan will provide selected
employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
The Board considers that for each KMP who receive options, their high-calibre experience will greatly assist the
Company in achieving its strategy to develop the Cabinda Phosphate Project, located in Angola.
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.

generated revenues from operations during the year. These conditions indicate the existence of material
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and,
therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The ability of the entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through
capital raising or other fund-raising activities to continue its operational activities in the next 12 months. The
Directors consider that additional working capital will be able to be raised as required and that the Group will
continue as a going concern and as such the financial report has been prepared on ‘a going concern’ basis. In
arriving at this position, the Directors have considered the following mattes:
•
•
The Company has committed to purchasing two long lead items for the construction of the Phosphate
Granulation Plant. The decision to order the major components of the Granulation Plant before
completion of the DFS is based on Board’s confidence that the DFS will confirm the Project’s viability.
Minbos has a contractual commitment with Feeco for the Granulation Plant at 30 June 2021 totalling
USD$6,446,500.
The Directors are satisfied that the Company could raise additional funds via a capital raising to meet the
commitments of the Granulation Plant and the Company’s working capital commitments over the next 12
months.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2021
Should the entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and
discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those
stated in the financial statements. This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the
entity not continue as a going concern.
3. PRINCINPALS OF CONSOLIDATION
(a) 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 2021 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.
(b) 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.

4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
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).
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.
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.
(b) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues and expenses are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST is not
recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the item of
expense to which it relates.
Assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST is not recoverable from the
taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from,
or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability.
Cash flows are reported on a gross basis and inclusive of GST. The GST components of cash flows arising from
investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified
as operating cash flows.

For the year ended 30 June 2021
(c) 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. Any new or
amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
(d) Other Accounting Policies
Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an
understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements.
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:
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Cabinda Project: The Company incurred exploration and evaluation expenditure on the Cabinda project of
$1,676,534 (2020: $388,247), of which $710,639 was reclassified through the profit or loss up until January 2021
as the Company had not until that point been granted the mining licence over the project concession area.
However, the Company executed a Mineral Investment Contract (‘MIC’) for the Cabinda Phosphate Project in
January 2021, and from that date the Company has capitalised $965,895 to the Statement of Financial Position
as exploration and evaluation expenditure. The MIC was officially signed by Dr André Francisco Buta Neto,
National Director of Mineral Resources, and homologated by Angola’s Minister of Mineral Resources and
Petroleum, Mr Diamantino Azevedo. The MIC provides for exploration, feasibility studies and exploitation of the
phosphate rock by Minbos within the Cabinda Phosphate Project concession area.
Share based payments
The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with Directors, employees and consultants, where
applicable, by reference to the fair value of the instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value
is determined using the black-scholes, binomial or other appropriate model, taking into account the terms and
conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to
equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Coronavirus (CODID-19) Pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or
may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products
and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates.
Other than as addressed in specific notes, these does not currently appear to be either any significant impact
upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may
impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-
19) pandemic.

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 2019 financial year, 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2021
The Group has Australian carried forward tax losses of $12,676,616 (tax effected at 30%, $3,802,985) as at 30
June 2021 (2020: $12,201,181 (tax effected at 30%, $3,660,354)). 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.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
(a) Basic loss per share
The calculation of basic loss per share at 30 June 2021 was based on the loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders of $4,160,306 (2020: $1,566,274) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 of 375,439,663 (2020: 282,728,066) calculated as follows:
Net loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Group ($)

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.
(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.

had not until that point been granted the mining licence over the project concession area. However, the
Company executed a Mineral Investment Contract (‘MIC’) for the Cabinda Phosphate Project in January 2021,
and from that date the Company has capitalised $965,895 to the Statement of Financial Position as exploration
and evaluation expenditure. The MIC was officially signed by Dr André Francisco Buta Neto, National Director of
Mineral Resources, and homologated by Angola’s Minister of Mineral Resources and Petroleum, Mr Diamantino
Azevedo. The MIC provides for exploration, feasibility studies and exploitation of the phosphate rock by Minbos
within the Cabinda Phosphate Project concession area.
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.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Provisions are recognised when:
-
-
-
the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
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.
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

(c) Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to:
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2021
• 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.

20. 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:

(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
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.
Interest rate risk
(ii)
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.

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 11: 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.

(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 2021.

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.
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.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2021
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.
21. 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, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.
The Company currently has two reportable segments, being phosphate in Angola and rare earth minerals in
Madagascar. The Board considers its business operations in phosphate to be its primary reporting function and
deems the rare earth minerals in Madagascar as not material to the Company. Results are analysed as a whole
by the chief operating decision maker, this being the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the
Board of Directors. Consequently revenue, profit, net assets and total assets for the operating segment are
reflected in this financial report.

On 1 July 2021 the Company approved the purchase of two major long-lead components for the granulation
plant. The decision to order the major components of the Granulation Plant before completion of the DFS is
based on Board’s confidence that the DFS will confirm the Project’s viability.
On 5 July 2021 the Company issued 20,000,000 unlisted options to employees and consultants under the
Employee Incentive Option Plan that was adopted at the Annual General Meeting dated 3 November 2020.
On 19 July 2021 the Company completed another key condition of its Mineral Investment Contract, with
markers installed, outlining the Cabinda Phosphate Licence. Marking of the licence is a key project formality,
allowing the Company to complete site preparation works and further exploration.
On 12 August 2021 the Company secured a commercial site for its Phosphate Granulation Plant, located in
Angola. 20ha of commercial property secured at the Futila Industrial Zone (Futila), just 12km to the Port of Caio
and 25km to the Port of Cabinda, delivering barge and shipping access to key agriculture growing zones in
Angola.
On 26 August 2021 the Company completed the dry season environmental survey, for the Cabinda Phosphate
Project, enabling HCV Africa to complete the EISA reports by the end of this year. The EISA reports are critical
path activities and form the basis of the Environmental Study and Waste Management Plan, to be completed by
Grupo Simples.
On 13 September 2021 the Company completed a 14-tonne bulk sample, targeting Phosphate Rock material
from the high-grade zone (+29% P205). The bulk samples are currently enroute to the International Fertilizer
Development Center (IFDC) headquarters in Muscle Shoals Alabama for blend and granulation optimisation,
field, and greenhouse trials.
On 27 September the Company announced that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
Angolan agribusiness Sociedade Agroquímica Industrial, S.A. (Sangrid) to conduct feasibility studies on the
establishment of a Nitrogen, Phosphate, Potassium (NPK) fertilizer blending plant and distribution business in
Angola’s Malanje region. Any company that is formed as an outcome of the feasibility work performed under
the MoU shall apportion equity ownership at incorporation of 60% Minbos and 40% Sangrid.
The impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted the
Company up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after
the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australia
Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel
restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may
significantly affect the entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the entity's state of affairs in future
financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of Minbos Resources Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

We have audited the financial report of Minbos Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries
(the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’

Act 2001, including:
(i)
Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; 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 Corporations
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (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.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275,

2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 77
Independent Audit Report
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 2(c) in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions
which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the
group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.
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.
Accounting for Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
At 30 June 2021 the Group held a significant carrying
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited
value of Exploration and Evaluation Assets as disclosed
to:
in Note 13.
As the carrying value of the Exploration and Evaluation
Asset represents a significant asset of the Group, we
considered it necessary to assess whether any facts or
circumstances exist to suggest that the carrying
amount of this asset may exceed its recoverable
amount.
In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and
Evaluation of Mineral Resources (AASB 6), the
recoverability of exploration and evaluation
expenditure requires significant judgment by
management in determining whether there are any
facts or circumstances that exist to suggest that the
carrying amount of this asset may exceed its
recoverable amount.
As a result, this is considered a key audit matter.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Obtaining a schedule of the area of interest held
by the Group and assessing whether the rights to
tenure of those areas of interest remained current
at balance date;
Considering the status of the ongoing exploration
programmes in the respective areas of interest by
holding discussions with management, and
reviewing the Group’s exploration budgets, ASX
announcements and director’s minutes;
Considering whether any such areas of interest had
reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of
economically recoverable reserves existed;
Verifying, on a sample basis, evaluation
expenditure capitalised during the year for
compliance with the recognition and measurement
criteria of AASB 6;
Considering whether any facts or circumstances
existed to suggest impairment testing was
required; and
Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures
in Note 13 to the financial report.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, 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 we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has 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 (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
