Subsequent to the end of the year Musgrave raised $750,000 

through a Placement to sophisticated and professional 

investors and $1.98M through a heavily oversubscribed Share 

Purchase Plan (“SPP”) with an additional $500,000 Top-Up 

Placement. On completion the Company had approximately 

180 million shares on issue and $4.7M cash at bank. 

During the year, Musgrave received $513,162 from the 

Australian Tax Office under the Federal Government’s 

Research and Development Tax Incentive Scheme for its 

research and development activities during the 2015 financial 

year. 

Musgrave continued its strong links with government and 

research organisations throughout 2016 in the regions in 

which it operates including the Geological Survey of South 

Australia, the Centre for Exploration Targeting at the University 

of Western Australia and the Commonwealth Scientific and 

Industrial Research Organisation (“CSIRO”).

The Company successfully secured an Exploration Incentive 

Scheme (“EIS”) co-funded drilling grant of $150,000 for the 

Cue Project in 2016-17 to drill test new copper-gold targets.

Under the Federal Government’s Exploration Development 

Incentive (“EDI”) Scheme exploration credits have been 

distributed to eligible shareholders at 0.08 cents per share. 

The EDI is intended to encourage shareholder investment 

in exploration companies undertaking greenfields mineral 

exploration in Australia by allowing junior exploration 

companies to distribute a portion their tax losses from 

greenfields minerals expenditure in Australia to eligible 

shareholders as tax credits. Eligible shareholders must be 

Australian tax residents and be recorded on the Company’s 

share register at the record date, being 31 May 2016.

Review of Operations

Exploration Activities
Significant results were achieved at the Cue Project during 

2015-16 where exploration by the Company resulted in the 

discovery of high grade gold mineralisation at the Break of 

Day Prospect and copper-gold mineralisation at Mt Eelya. A 

considerable exploration program is planned for the coming 

year with the objective of expanding the high grade gold 

JORC resource at Break of Day and completing follow-up 

drilling on the Mt Eelya discovery along with the testing of 

other targets.

Exploration programs were also undertaken on the Mamba 

Project in Western Australia and the Corunna Project in South 

Australia where anomalous lead, zinc and silver was identified 

in shallow aircore drilling over a strike extent of 300m.

Cue Project
Musgrave Minerals Ltd earning up to 80%

During July 2016 Musgrave met its minimum expenditure 

commitments under the joint venture and has now moved to 

the Stage 1 Earn-In phase of the joint venture.

Musgrave has focused exploration on the Cue Project since 

its acquisition in late 2015 undertaking an airborne Versatile 

Time-Domain Electromagnetic (“VTEM”) survey, surface soil 

and rock chip sampling, down hole electromagnetic (“DHEM”) 

surveys and three drilling campaigns.

The drilling targeted the extension of high grade gold 

mineralisation and has extended the hanging-wall vein to a 

strike of 360 metres (Figure 3). Musgrave has discovered the 

new high grade footwall vein and the gold mineralisation in 

the footwall vein has been drilled over a strike of 100m and is 

open down dip and to the north (Figure 4).

Break of Day is on a granted mining lease and drilling 

is ongoing with the aim of delineating a high grade gold 

resource.

Mt Eelya  
At the Mt Eelya Prospect, 6km north-west of the Hollandaire 

volcanic massive sulphide deposit, Musgrave drilled 

two RC holes and intersected massive copper sulphide 

mineralisation. Assay results include:

• 

8m @ 1.6% Cu and 0.6g/t Au from 115m to 123m 

down hole (16EHRC001) including 1m @ 4.3% Cu 

and 1.6g/t Au from 115m with elevated silver and zinc 

(MGV ASX announcement 3 March 2016, “Copper-Gold 

Mineralisation Confirmed at Mt Eelya”)

A strong off-hole late time conductor has been identified to 

the east of the drill hole suggesting a south easterly plunge to 

the mineralisation (Figure 5 and 6). 

Gossanous float, the weathered product of sulphide 

mineralisation, can be traced at surface, intermittently over a 

strike of approximately 300m at Mt Eelya. The gossan forms 

two intermittent but sub-parallel zones. Interpretation of the 

VTEM survey data has identified three potential conductors 

aligned parallel with the gossans. 

The conductors at Mt Eelya have a strong association with 

massive sulphide copper-gold mineralisation. To date the 

drilling has been focused on testing only one of these three 

potential zones of mineralisation. Ground Electromagnetic 

(“EM”) is planned to better define these potential new 

conductive targets.

(b)  Remuneration governance and the use of 
remuneration consultants
The Company does not have a Remuneration Committee. 

Remuneration matters are handled by the full Board of the 

Company. In this respect the Board is responsible for:

• 

• 

transparent and easily understood; and

acceptable to shareholders.

All executives receive consulting fees or a salary, part of 

which may be taken as superannuation, and from time 

to time, options. The Board reviews executive packages 

annually by reference to the executive’s performance and 

the over-arching executive remuneration framework;

comparable information from industry sectors and other listed 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the 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.

The objective of the Board is to ensure that remuneration 

policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned 

with the long-term interests of the Company.

In addition, all matters of remuneration are handled in 

accordance with the Corporations Act requirements, 

especially with regard to related party transactions. That 

is, none of the Directors participate in any deliberations 

regarding their own remuneration or related issues.

Independent external advice is sought from remuneration 

consultants when required, however no advice has been 

sought during the period ended 30 June 2016.

(c)  Executive remuneration policy and 

framework

companies in similar industries.

All remuneration paid to specified executives is valued at the 

cost to the Group and expensed. Options are valued using a 

Black-Scholes option pricing model.

(d)  Relationship between remuneration 

and the group’s performance

Emoluments of Directors are set by reference to payments 

made by other companies of similar size and industry, and 

by reference to the skills and experience of Directors. Fees 

paid to Directors are not linked to the performance of the 

Group. This policy may change once the exploration phase is 

complete and the Group is generating revenue. At present the 

existing remuneration policy is not impacted by the Group’s 

performance including earnings and changes in shareholder 

wealth (e.g. changes in share price). 

The Board has not set short term performance indicators, 

such as movements in the Company’s share price, for the 

determination of Director emoluments as the Board believes 

this may encourage performance which is not in the long term 

interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board 

has structured its remuneration arrangements in such a way 

In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to 

it believes is in the best interests of building shareholder 

ensure that remuneration practices are:

• 

competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to 

attract and retain key talent;

wealth in the longer term. The Board believes participation 

in the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan aligns key 

management and executives with the long term interests of 

shareholders.

(e)  Non-executive director remuneration 

policy

On appointment to the Board, all Non-Executive Directors 

enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form 

of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board 

policies and terms, including remuneration relevant to the 

office of Director.

The maximum annual aggregate Non-Executive Directors’ 

fee pool limit is $250,000 as disclosed in the Company’s 

Replacement Prospectus dated 8 March 2011. 

Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the 

performance of the Group. Non-Executive Directors’ 

remuneration may also include an incentive portion consisting 

of options, subject to approval by shareholders.

The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors 

at commercial market rates for comparable companies 

for their time, commitment and responsibilities. Non-

Executive Directors receive a Board fee but do not receive

AASB 9: Financial Instruments 

AASB 9 replaces AASB 139: 

Financial Instruments: Recognition 

and Measurement. The objective 

of this Standard is to establish 

principles for the financial reporting 

liabilities that will present relevant 

and useful information to users 

of financial statements for their 

assessment of the amounts, timing 

and uncertainty of an entity’s future 

cash flows.

AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts 

with Customers 

The objective of this Standard is 

to establish the principles that an 

entity shall apply to report useful 

information to users of financial 

statements about the nature, 

amount, timing and uncertainty of 

revenue and cash flows arising from 

a contract with a customer.

AASB 16: Leases 

This Standard sets out the principles 

for the recognition, measurement, 

presentation and disclosure of 

leases. The objective is to ensure 

that lessees and lessors provide 

relevant information in a manner 

that faithfully represents those 

transactions. This information 

gives a basis for users of financial 

statements to assess the effect that 

leases have on the financial position, 

financial performance and cash flows 

of an entity.

Historical Cost Convention

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared 

under the historical cost convention, except where stated.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use 

of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 

management to exercise its judgement in the process of 

applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving 

a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where 

assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial 

statements, are disclosed where appropriate.

(b)  Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared 

on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity 

of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and 

the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

(c)  Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets 

and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiary at 30 June 2016 

and the results of its subsidiary for the year then ended. The 

Company and its subsidiary 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 investment with the entity and has the

ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the 

activities of the entity.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for 

business combinations by the Group.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which 

control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated 

from the date that control ceases.

(g)  Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration 

received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net 

of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected 

on behalf of third parties. Interest income is recognised as it 

accrues.

(h)  Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax 

payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the 

applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by 

changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to 

temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of 

the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end 

of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates 

positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in 

future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those 

temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is 

a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and 

liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the 

same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities 

are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to 

offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise 

the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Musgrave Minerals Limited and its wholly-owned Australian 

controlled entity have implemented the tax consolidation 

legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as 

a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities 

of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial 

statements. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or 

loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in 

other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case,

(i)  Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, 

as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of 

ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases 

for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which 

are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets

held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly

or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term 

if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain 

ownership at the end of the lease term.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and 

subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 

interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade

operating leases (net of any incentives received from the 

lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis 

over the period of the lease.

Impairment of assets

(j) 
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not 

presented as current assets unless collection is not expected 

for more than 12 months after the reporting date.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing 

basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written 

off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for 

doubtful receivables is established when there is objective 

evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts 

subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment 

due according to the original terms of the receivables. The

Share-Based Payments

(p)  Employee benefits
Short–term Obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 

benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected 

to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period 

in which the employees render the related service, are 

recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end 

of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts 

expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The 

liability for annual leave and accumulating sick leave is 

recognised in the provision for employee benefits. Liabilities 

for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the 

leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable. All 

other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented 

as payables.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the 

statement of financial position if the entity does not have 

an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve 

months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual 

settlement is expected to occur.

The Group provides benefits to employees of the Company 

in the form of share options. The fair value of options granted 

is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a 

corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured 

at grant date and spread over the period during which the 

employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. 

The fair value of the options granted is measured using a 

Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the 

terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together 

with a corresponding increase in equity, on a straight line 

basis over the vesting period. The amount recognised as an 

expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number that vest.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected 

as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per 

share.

Termination Benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is 

terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an 

employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for 

32

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits 

when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the 

employment of current employees according to a detailed 

formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing 

(s)  Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, 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 

termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage 

recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as 

voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12

months after the end of the reporting period are discounted 

to present value. No termination benefits, other than accrued 

benefits and entitlements, were paid during the period.

(q)  Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs 

directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST 

(r)  Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

• 

the profit attributable to owners of the Group, excluding 

any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares

• 

by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 

outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus 

elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and 

excluding treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the 

determination of basic earnings per share to take into 

account:

• 

the after income tax effect of interest and other financing 

costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares; 

and

• 

the weighted average number of additional ordinary 

shares that would have been outstanding assuming the 

conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

components of cash flows arising from investing or financing 

activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the 

taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(t)  Financial assets
Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at 

fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-

to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, 

as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised 

initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of 

investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly 

attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the 

classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, 

when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation 

at each financial year-end. All regular way purchases and 

sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date 

i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. 

Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of 

financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the 

assets within the period established generally by regulation or 

convention in the marketplace.

Reported in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report and 

disclosed in the Company’s announcement released to the 

ASX on 12 February 2015, investigations into a number of 

irregular transactions were undertaken by the Company in 

the previous financial year. The investigations concluded that 

the amount of funds involved in the irregular transactions was 

$468,772. $337,250 of these funds were misappropriated 

during the previous financial year. On 16 November 2015, 

the ex-employee was found guilty of stealing as a servant 

and received a custodial sentence. To date, the Company 

has managed to recover $136,043, with $100,000 being 

recovered this year.

4. Segment information 
The Group operates in one geographical segment, being 

Australia and in one operating category, being mineral 

exploration. Therefore, information reported to the chief 

operating decision maker (the Board of Musgrave Minerals 

Limited) for the purposes of resource allocation and 

performance assessment is focused on mineral exploration 

within Australia. The Board has considered the requirements 

of AASB 8: Operating Segments and the internal reports 

that are reviewed by the chief operation decision maker in 

allocating resources and have concluded at this time that 

there are no separately identifiable segments.

The Company and its 100% owned controlled entity have 

formed a tax consolidated group. The head entity of the 

tax consolidated group is Musgrave Minerals Limited. The 

tax consolidated group has potential revenue tax losses 

of $16,864,803 (2015: $15,674,230) and capital losses of 

$245,265.

The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not 

expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have 

not been recognised in respect of these items because it is 

not probable that future taxable profit will be available against 

which the Group can utilise benefits.

The utilisation of tax losses is dependent on the Group 

satisfying the continuity of ownership test or the same 

business test at the time the tax losses are applied against 

taxable income.

22.  Financial risk 

management objectives 
and policies

Financial Risk Management
Overview

The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use 

of financial instruments:

• 

Interest rate risk

•  Credit risk

• 

Liquidity risk

•  Commodity risk

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure 

to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and 

processes for measuring and managing risk, and the 

management of capital.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the 

establishment and oversight of the risk management 

framework.

Risk management policies are established to identify and 

analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk 

limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to 

limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed 

regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the 

Group’s activities.

The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors 

compliance with the Group’s risk management policies 

and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk 

management framework in relation to the risks faced by the 

Group.

The Group’s principal financial instruments are cash, short-

term deposits, receivables and payables.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial 

instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will 

fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate 

risk arises from fluctuations in interest bearing financial assets 

and liabilities that the Group uses.

Interest bearing assets comprise cash and cash equivalents 

which are considered to be short-term liquid assets. It is the 

Group’s policy to settle trade payables within the credit terms 

allowed and therefore not incur interest on overdue balances.

The following table set out the carrying amount, by maturity, 

of the financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate 

risk:

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change 

in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet

to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it 

will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when 

balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result

that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest 

bearing financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group is 

equal to their carrying value.

Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to 

safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern 

in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits 

for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital 

structure to reduce the cost of capital. The management of 

the Group’s capital is performed by the Board.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt (trade 

payables and provisions detailed in notes 12 & 13 offset by 

cash and bank balances) and equity of the Group (comprising 

contributed equity and reserves, offset by accumulated losses 

detailed in notes 14, 15 & 16).

23.  Share based payments

Employee Share Option Plan
The Group has an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) for 

executives and employees of the Group. In accordance with 

the provisions of the ESOP, as approved by shareholders at a 

previous Annual General Meeting, executives and employees 

may be granted options at the discretion of the Directors.

Each share option converts into one ordinary share of 

Musgrave Minerals Limited on exercise. No amounts are paid 

or are payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The 

options carry neither rights of dividends nor voting rights. 

Options may be exercised at any time from the date of 

vesting to the date of their expiry.

Options issued to Directors are subject to approval by 

shareholders.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital 

requirements. None of the Group’s entities are subject to 

externally imposed capital requirements.

The following share-based payment arrangements were in 

existence during the reporting period:

Fair Value of Share Options Granted During the Year

The fair value of share options at grant date are determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account 

the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility of the underlying share and 

the risk free rate for the term of the option. The fair value of share options issued during the year was $14,798 (2015: $Nil).

The model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 June 2016 are as follows:
