MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2018                            CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure 
to present the 2018 Annual Report for Musgrave 
Minerals Limited (“Musgrave” or “Company”).

2018 was a successful year for Musgrave, we 
expanded our resource base, identified new 
discovery opportunities and advanced on a potential 
pathway to development that could provide strong 
financial returns for Shareholders. Our focus 
continues to be on the Cue Project (“Cue”) which 
is located in the well-endowed, gold producing 
Murchison region of Western Australia.

Significantly, the Company continues to expand 
its existing gold resources and identify new zones 
of gold mineralisation at Cue. In July 2017, the 
Company announced an update to the Mineral 
Resources for Lena and Break of Day and together 
with the other resources identified on the project, Cue 
is now estimated to host 440k oz of gold. Extensional 
drilling after the release of the new resource 
continued to intersect high grade mineralisation at 
Break of Day, including 30m @ 11.3g/t gold and 11m 
@ 54g/t gold. The mineralisation encountered by 
these and other drill holes at Lena and Break of Day 
have not been included in the resource models to 
date and the deposits remain open at depth. Regional 
drilling also identified new mineralised positions at a 
number of targets including Louise, Joshua and Lake 
Austin North which is shaping up to potentially be 
a significant new gold discovery. Given the ongoing 
drilling success at Cue, the current resource figure of  
gold is expected to grow.

In August 2017, the Company was pleased to 
increase its interest in Cue by exercising its pre-
emptive right to acquire Silver Lake Resources 
Limited’s remaining interest in the Project on 
equivalent terms to those proposed by Westgold 
Resources Ltd (“Westgold”). As a result, Musgrave 
now holds 100% of the core tenure that hosts all the 
gold and copper Mineral Resources on the Project.

As stated above, Cue is located in the gold producing 
Murchison region of Western Australia, a region 
that is host to four operating gold plants including 
Westgold’s Tuckabianna plant. In May 2018, Westgold 
invested $3.36M in Musgrave at a premium to the 
market price at the time, to become a substantial 
shareholder in the Company.

At the end of the financial year Musgrave and 
Westgold agreed to a non-binding Term Sheet 
that provides the scope on which a formal Mine 

PAGE 2                                                                                                                                     

Management and Profit Sharing Agreement can be 
negotiated. The proposed Mine Management and 
Profit Sharing arrangement would provide a near 
term development pathway, potentially generating 
significant cashflow for the Company. It will be 
restricted to existing resources at Cue and Musgrave 
will retain a 100% interest in the exploration tenure 
and all new discoveries. This potential low-risk, low-
cost development pathway will enable Musgrave 
to focus on its exploration strengths and accelerate 
our drilling programs across a range of high priority 
targets including Lake Austin North.

The Company will continue to advance its internal 
optimisation and development studies during the 
negotiations on the formal Mine Management 
and Profit Sharing Agreement. These studies will 
provide baseline parameters and assist in forecasting 
production goals and potential cashflow under the 
proposed arrangement.

Our exploration team continues to identify high 
priority targets and exploration drilling is ongoing 
at Cue with the aim of making further high-grade 
gold discoveries that could support a stand-alone 
operation or alternatively be mined in partnership 
with an existing local producer.

Prior to the Westgold investment described above, 
Musgrave had successfully completed a capital 
raising in October 2017 to raise $3.6M through a 
Placement and Share Purchase Plan (SPP). The 
Placement attracted several new investors to the 
Company and the SPP offered eligible shareholders 
the opportunity to acquire further shares in the 
Company on the same terms as the Placement. It 
was very pleasing to see strong participation in 
the SPP from existing shareholders and I take this 
opportunity, on behalf of the Board, to thank all of 
our Shareholders for their ongoing support.

I would also like to thank the staff, management, 
contractors and my fellow directors for their ongoing 
efforts. We are committed to progressing the 
Company by advancing targets towards development 
through high-quality exploration and technical 
studies for the benefit of all Musgrave shareholders.

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2018                            REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Musgrave Minerals Ltd (“Musgrave” or “the 
Company”) (ASX:MGV) is an Australian resources 
company focused on gold and base metals 
exploration and development at the Cue Project 
in the Murchison Province of Western Australia. 
Musgrave had outstanding success during the year 
from extensional drilling at Break of Day and more 
recent success at the A Zone target at Lake Austin 
North. 

Following the discovery of high grade gold at Break 
of Day and significantly upgrading the gold resource 
in July 2017, the Company completed more than 
25,000 metres of resource and exploration drilling 
within the Cue tenements during the period. 

The total Indicated and Inferred JORC Mineral 
Resources on the project now stand at  4.83 Mt @ 
2.84g/t Au for 441,000 ounces of gold  (see ASX 
announcement 24 October 2017, “Annual Report 
2017”), with the majority of those resources 
contained within the Break of Day and Lena deposits.

Corporate 

Musgrave also has tenement applications in the 
Musgrave Geological Province of South Australia and 
has recently farmed out the Corunna Project in the 
southern Gawler Craton region of South Australia to 
Petratherm Ltd (Figure 1).

$3,360,000. The placement to Westgold was at a 
premium of 15.4% to the 15-day VWAP at the time 
of investment and represents a holding of 14.7% 
(undiluted) in the Company (see ASX announcement 
dated 28 may 2018, “Westgold Invests $3.36M in 
Musgrave Minerals”).

During the year the Company continued to refine 
its exploration portfolio, applying for additional 
tenements in the Cue region and divesting the 
Corunna Project in South Australia through a Joint 
Venture with Petratherm Ltd (“Petratherm”). Under 
the terms of the JV, Petratherm can earn up to 75% 
through staged expenditure of $1 million over 2.5 
years.

After the sale of its Fraser Range tenements in 
February 2017, Musgrave holds 10 million shares and 
10 million unlisted options in Legend Mining Limited, 
currently valued at approximately $360,000.

Events since the end of the financial year

On 3 July 2018 Musgrave executed a non-binding 
Term Sheet with Westgold that provides a near-
term development pathway for the existing gold 
resources at its Cue Project. The Term Sheet outlines 
the scope of a Mine Management and Profit Sharing 
arrangement whereby Musgrave will receive 50% 
of profits from operations that will be financed, 
managed and operated by Westgold, an established 
and highly experienced Australian gold producer 
(see ASX announcement 3 July 2018, “Musgrave to 
Progress Opportunity to Develop Cue Gold Resources 
with Westgold”). The arrangement will be restricted 
to the existing JORC-compliant gold resources on 
the Cue Project.  Musgrave will retain 100% of the 
exploration interests and upside outside of the 
defined resources.

Exploration Activities

Musgrave had outstanding drilling success during 
the year with extensional drilling at Break of Day 
returning high grade intercepts including 11m @ 
54.0g/t Au from 217m (17MORC084), outside the 
current resource boundary (see ASX announcement 
5 September 2017, “Musgrave Hits 11m @ 54.0g/t 
Au at Break of Day”).  The Company also had drilling 
success at a number of new and existing prospects 
including Louise, Numbers, Joshua and Lake Austin 
North. The Company drilled over 25,000 metres 
during the year.

At the new Lake Austin North target, aircore drilling 
outlined significant regolith (weathered rock) gold 
mineralisation and subsequent RC drilling has 
returned an impressive intersection of 42m @ 3.2g/t 
Au from 108m, including 24m @ 5.1g/t Au from 
114m down hole (see ASX announcement 31 August 
2018, “First RC drill hole hits 42m @ 3.2g/t Au at Lake 
Austin North, Cue”). 

“This is an excellent drill result and 
demonstrates the potential for the A Zone 
target at Lake Austin North to host thick, 
high-grade gold mineralisation.”

A significant exploration program is planned for 
the coming year with the objective of potentially 
defining a maiden resource at Lake Austin North and 
continuing to progress development studies at Break 
of Day and Lena to define a clear path to first gold 
production for the Company.

Cue Project - Key tenure now held 100% by Musgrave

In July 2017 Musgrave completed Stage 2 of the 
Cue Project Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement 
with Silver Lake Resources Ltd. Under the terms 
of the Agreement, the Company earned an 80% 
interest in the Cue Project by meeting the $1,800,000 
exploration expenditure requirement. 

On 4 August 2017 Musgrave completed the 
acquisition of Silver Lake’s interest in the Cue 
Joint Venture after exercising its pre-emptive right 
following an offer from Westgold. 

Musgrave now holds 100% of the core tenure on the 
Cue Project (Figure 2) including the tenure hosting 
the gold and copper Mineral Resources (see ASX 
announcement 4 August 2017, “Musgrave Secures 
100% of Key Cue Tenure”).

The Project is in close proximity to existing road 
infrastructure and within trucking distance of four 
operating gold plants (Figure 3).

Near Term Gold Development Opportunity

Musgrave is pursuing the opportunity to develop 
the Break of Day and Lena gold deposits and has 
commenced development studies to assess the 
optimal development scenario for the Project.

Subsequent to the end of the financial year Musgrave 
executed a non-binding Term Sheet with Westgold 
that provides the scope on which a formal Mine 
Management and Profit Sharing Agreement can 
be negotiated to secure a near-term development 
pathway for the existing gold resources at its Cue 
Project. The arrangement will be restricted to the 
existing JORC-compliant gold resources at Cue 

(Lena, Break of Day, Jasper Queen, Gilt Edge and 
Rapier South deposits), and a 100m buffer. Musgrave 
will retain 100% of the exploration interests and 
upside outside of the defined resources and buffer 
zone.

The key benefits of the proposed arrangement 
include:

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

Provides	an	option	to	potentially	fast	track	
development.

Reduces	Musgrave’s	development	and	capital	
risk exposure by working with an experienced 
and well-funded gold mining company. 
Westgold has a dedicated technical team 
with experience in planning, permitting and 
optimisation in both toll-treatment and mine 
development of gold deposits in WA.

Reduces	the	Comapany’s	capital	requirements	
going forward thereby reducing the prospect of 
shareholder dilution.

The	potential	arrangement	would	enable	
Musgrave to focus on its areas of expertise, 
being exploration and discovery. 

The	opportunity	to	generate	near	term	cash	has	
the potential to provide funding for Musgrave 
to progress its future exploration and drilling 
programs to make further discoveries and 
continue to grow the resource base.

After  the  resource  update  Musgrave  continued  to  drill  at  Break  of  Day  to  improve  the  geological 
understanding and confirm grade continuity. A combination of RC and diamond drilling was utilised 
and returned significant intercepts within the confines of the existing resource, including:  

13m @ 8.8g/t Au from 102m down hole (17MORC093) 
11m @ 13.6g/t Au from 115m down hole (17MORC108)

Regional Exploration 

Musgrave  completed  a  large  regional  aircore/RC  drilling  program,  which  comprised  151  drill  holes 

for  13,325m,  testing  10  new  high  priority  regional  targets.    The  targets  were  defined  through  the 

integration of new detailed regional gravity survey data with existing aeromagnetic data, historical 

broad  spaced  aircore  drilling  and  surface  geochemistry.  The  10  high  priority  targets  (Figure  6)  lie

The A Zone is situated on a highly prospective 
sheared tonalite-mafic contact in a similar geological 
setting to that seen at the Granny Smith gold 
deposit in the Eastern Yilgarn of Western Australia. 
The Granny Smith-Goanna-Windich string of gold 
deposits contained combined 2001 resources of 43Mt 
@ 1.65g/t Au for 2.3Moz of contained gold1. 

The mineralisation in the A Zone is adjacent to the 
contact of a tonalite intrusive and mafic stratigraphy. 
Many of the drill holes terminated in mineralisation 
and deeper drilling has commenced to further test 
the system. 

The A Zone mineralisation is defined by anomalous 
gold (>0.1g/t Au) in aircore drilling over a width 
of 100-300m and covers more than 700m in strike 
length and is open in all directions (Figure 7). The 
gold is forming a dispersed regolith (weathered 
rock) halo. Geological interpretation of the recent 
detailed gravity data indicates that the prospective

target

RC drilling is continuing and a diamond drill rig 
is currently being sourced to continue to test this 
exciting new discovery. 

The C Zone at Lake Austin North consists of a 
regolith gold mineralised halo (>0.1g/t Au) defined by 
aircore drilling and extending up to 150m wide and 
covering a strike extent of over 450m. The target is 
open to the north and south (Figures 7) where recent 
aircore drilling intersected grades up to 30m @ 0.5g/t 
Au, including 4m @ 1.6g/t Au to end of hole. 

2018 Annual Report  
Review of Operations 

The C Zone is situated partially within a highly 
prospective sheared and altered granophyric dolerite 
intrusion on a similar orientation to the Great Fingall 
dolerite that hosts the high-grade Great Fingall gold 
deposit at Cue. 

Other Cue Project Targets

Drilling at the Joshua target and Numbers prospect 
(Figure 6) also intersected high-grade gold during 
the year. Follow-up drilling of these and other gold 
targets within the project area is currently being 
prioritised.

Other Projects 

Musgrave currently holds tenement applications in 
the central Musgrave province of South Australia and 
a granted tenement in the southern Gawler Craton 
region which is managed by Petratherm Ltd.  No 
field activity was completed by Musgrave on these 
projects during the period.

comprise previously capitalised costs in relation to 
some non-core tenements in South Australia and

Western Australia which were relinquished and two 
new tenement applications in the Cue region.

As at 30 June 2018, the Group had net assets of 
$16,086,195 (2017: $8,775,705) including cash and 
cash equivalents of $5,230,122 (2017: $3,560,365).

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Significant changes in the state of affairs of the 
Group during the financial year were as follows:

On 11 October 2017, the Company completed 
a placement to sophisticated and professional 
investors of 46,000,000 ordinary shares at an issue 
price of 6.2 cents per share raising $2,852,000 before 
costs.

In October 2017 the Company also announced a 
Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”). The SPP was strongly 
supported by Shareholders and the Company issued 
12,338,675 new shares at an issue price of 6.2 cents 
per share raising an additional $765,000 before costs.

On 28 May 2018, the Company completed a 
placement to Westgold Resources Limited (Westgold) 
of 48,000,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of 7.0 
cents per share raising $3,360,000. The placement to 
Westgold was at a premium of 15.4% to the 15-day 
VWAP at the time of investment and represents a 
holding of 14.7% (undiluted) in Musgrave Minerals 
Ltd.

A Farm-in and Joint Venture agreement with 
Petratherm Limited (Petratherm) (ASX: PTR) was 
executed for the Corunna Project (EL5497) in South 
Australia. Petratherm can earn up to 75% through 
staged expenditure of $1 million over 2.5 years.

Musgrave has increased its landholding in the Cue 
region and now holds over 300km2 of tenure. 

The Company successfully secured an Exploration 
Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) co-funded drilling grant 
of $150,000 for the Cue Project to drill test gold and 
copper targets in 2018-19.

There were no other significant changes in the state 
of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

On 3 July 2018 Musgrave executed a non-binding 
Term Sheet with Westgold that provides a near-
term development pathway for the existing gold 
resources at its Cue Project. The Term Sheet outlines 
the scope of a Mine Management and Profit Sharing 
arrangement whereby Musgrave will receive 50% 

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2018                            DIRECTORS’ REPORT

of profits from operations that will be financed, 
managed and operated by Westgold, an established 
and highly experienced Australian gold producer 
(see ASX announcement 3 July 2018, “Musgrave to 
Progress Opportunity to develop Cue Gold Resources 
with Westgold”).

The Term Sheet is non-binding and provides the 
scope on which a formal Mine Management and 
Profit Sharing Agreement can be negotiated. The 
arrangement will be restricted to the existing JORC-
compliant gold resources, and a 100m buffer at the 
Lena, Break of Day, Jasper Queen, Gilt Edge and 
Rapier South deposits on Musgrave’s 100% owned 
tenements at Cue. Musgrave will retain 100% of 
the exploration interests and upside outside of the 
defined resources.

There has not arisen in the interval between the end 
of the financial year and the date of this report any 
other item, transaction or event of a material and 
unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors, 
to affect significantly the operations, the results of 
those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group 
in future financial years.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS 
OF OPERATIONS

The Directors are not aware of any developments 
that might have a significant effect on the operations 
of the Group in subsequent financial years not 
already disclosed in this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The Group is subject to significant environmental 
regulation in respect of its exploration activities. 
Tenements in Western Australia and South Australia 
are granted subject to adherence to environmental 
conditions with strict controls on clearing, including 
a prohibition on the use of mechanised equipment 
or development without the approval of the relevant 
Government agencies, and with rehabilitation 
required on completion of exploration activities. 
These regulations are controlled by the Department 
of Mines and Petroleum (Western Australia) and the 
Department of State Development (South Australia).

Musgrave Minerals Limited conducts its exploration 
activities in an environmentally sensitive manner and 
the Group is not aware of any breach of statutory 
conditions or obligations.

Greenhouse gas and energy data reporting 
requirements

The Directors have considered compliance with 
both the Energy Efficiency Opportunity Act 2006 
and the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting 
Act 2007 which requires entities to report annual 
greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. The 
Directors have assessed that there are no current 
reporting requirements for the year ended 30 June 
2018. However, reporting requirements may change 
in the future.

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:

•	

•	

•	

•	

the	over-arching	executive	remuneration	
framework;

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 2018.

PAGE 18                                                                                                                                     

c) 

Executive remuneration policy and framework

In determining executive remuneration, the 
Board aims to ensure that remuneration 
practices are:

•	

•	

•	

•	

competitive	and	reasonable,	enabling	the	
Company to attract and retain key talent;

aligned	to	the	Company’s	strategic	and	
business objectives and the creation of 
shareholder value;

transparent	and	easily	understood;	and

acceptable	to	shareholders.

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 
comparable information from industry sectors 
and other listed 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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

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 Non-Executive 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 Non-Executive 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 it believes is in the best interests of 
building shareholder wealth. The Board believes 
participation in the Company’s Employee 
Share Option Plan motivates and 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 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 
fees for chairing or participating on Board 
committees. Board members are allocated 
superannuation guarantee contributions as 
required by law, and do not receive any other 
retirement benefits. From time to time, some 
individuals may choose to sacrifice their salary 
or consulting fees to increase payments towards 
superannuation.

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.

f)  Voting and comments made at the Company’s 

2017 Annual General Meeting

Proxies received for the 2017 remuneration 
report at the Company’s AGM were more than 
96% in favour of the report. The Company did 
not receive any specific feedback at the AGM on 
its remuneration practices.

(1) These options expired during the financial year.

(2) These options were exercised during the financial year.

The fair value of options at grant date are independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing 
model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share 
price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and 
the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. 

Further information on the fair value of share options and assumptions is set out in Note 24 to the financial 
statements.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE CONTINUED

The key new standards which may impact the Group in future years are detailed below:

New or revised requirement

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 of financial assets and financial 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.
The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 
9. However, based on the entity’s preliminary assessment, the Standard is 
not expected to have a material impact on the transactions and balances 
recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year 
ending 30 June 2019.

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.
The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 
15. However, based on the entity’s preliminary assessment, the Standard 
is not expected to have a material impact on the transactions and balances 
recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year 
ending 30 June 2019.

AASB 2016-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – 
Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions
This Standard amends AASB 2: Share-based Payment, clarifying how 
to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The 
amendments provide requirements on the accounting for:
The effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of 
cash-settled share-based payments.
Share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for 
withholding tax obligations.
A modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that 
changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled.
The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 
2016-5. However, based on the entity’s preliminary assessment, the Standard 
is not expected to have a material impact on the transactions and balances 
recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year 
ending 30 June 2019.

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.
The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 
16. However, based on the entity’s preliminary assessment, the Standard is 
expected to have an impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the 
financial statements when it is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2019.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE CONTINUED

a)  Basis of measurement

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 2018 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.

Intercompany transactions, balances 

and unrealised gains on transactions 
between Group companies are eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated 
unless the transaction provides evidence 
of an impairment of the transferred asset. 
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 and other comprehensive income, 
consolidated statement of financial position 
and the consolidated statement of changes 
in equity respectively.

Joint arrangements

Under AASB 11: Joint Arrangements 
investments in joint arrangements are 
classified as either joint operations or joint 
ventures. The classification depends on the 
contractual rights and obligations of each 
investor, rather than the legal structure of 
the joint arrangement.

A joint operation is a joint arrangement 
whereby the parties that have joint control 
of the arrangement  have rights to the 
assets, and obligations for the liabilities, 
relating to the arrangement. Those parties 
are called joint operators. A joint venture is 
a joint arrangement whereby the parties that 
have joint control of the arrangement have 
rights to the net assets of the arrangement. 
Those parties are called joint venturers. 

d)  Critical accounting judgements and key 
sources of estimation uncertainty

The application of accounting policies 
requires the use of judgments, estimates 
and assumptions about carrying values of 
assets and liabilities that are not readily 
apparent from other sources. The estimates 
and associated assumptions are based on 
historical experience and other factors that 
are considered to be relevant. Actual results 
may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions 
are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions 
are recognised in the period in which the 
estimate is revised if it affects only that 
period, or in the period of the revision and 
future periods if the revision affects both 
current and future periods.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE CONTINUED

f) 

Functional and presentation of currency

d)  Critical accounting judgements and key 

sources of estimation uncertainty continued

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-
settled transactions with employees by 
reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are 
granted. The fair value is determined using a 
Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Exploration and evaluation costs carried 
forward

The recoverability of the carrying amount 
of exploration and evaluation costs carried 
forward has been reviewed by the Directors. 
In conducting the review, if any impairment 
indicators are identified, the recoverable 
amount is then assessed by reference to the 
higher of “fair value less costs to sell” and, 
if applicable, “value in use”.

In determining value in use, future cash 
flows are based on estimates of ore reserves 
and mineral resources for which there is 
a high degree of confidence of economic 
extraction, production and sales levels, 
future commodity prices, future capital and 
production costs and future exchange rates.

Variations to any of these estimates, and 
timing thereof, could result in significant 
changes to the expected future cash flows 
which in turn could result in significant 
changes to the impairment test results, 
which in turn could impact future financial 
results. The recoverability of the carrying 
amount of deferred exploration and 
evaluation expenditure is dependent on the 
successful development and commercial 
exploitation, or alternatively the sale, of the 
respective areas of interest.

e)  Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in 
a manner consistent with the internal 
reporting provided to the chief operating 
decision maker. The chief operating decision 
maker, who is responsible for allocating 
resources and assessing performance of the 
operating segments, has been identified as 
the Board of Directors of Musgrave Minerals 
Limited.

PAGE 32                                                                                                                                     

The consolidated financial statements are 
presented in Australian dollars, which is 
the Group’s functional and presentational 
currency.

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 investment in a foreign operation.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that 
relate to borrowings are presented in 
the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, within finance 
costs. All other foreign exchange gains 
and losses are presented in the statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income on a net basis within other income 
or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at 
fair value in a foreign currency are translated 
using the exchange rates at the date when 
the fair value was determined. Translation 
differences on assets and liabilities carried 
at fair value are reported as part of the fair 
value gain or loss.

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.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE CONTINUED

i) 

Income Tax continued

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 which applicable 
tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It 
establishes provisions where appropriate on 
the basis of amounts expected to be paid to 
the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, 
using the liability method, on temporary 
differences arising between the tax bases 
of assets and liabilities and their carrying 
amounts in the consolidated financial 
statements. However, deferred tax liabilities 
are not recognised if they arise from the 
initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred 
income tax is also not accounted for if it 
arises from initial recognition of an asset 
or liability in a transaction other than a 
business combination that at the time of the 
transaction affects neither accounting nor 
taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is 
determined using tax rates (and laws) that 
have been enacted or substantially enacted 
by the end of the reporting period and are 
expected to apply when the related deferred 
income tax asset is realised or the deferred 
income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for 
deductible temporary differences and 
unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
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, the tax is also 
recognised in other comprehensive income 
or directly in equity, respectively.

Amounts receivable from the Australian 
Tax Office in respect to the research and 
development tax concession claims are 
recognised as an income tax benefit in the 
year in which the claim is lodged with the 
Australian Tax Office. Any research and 
development tax offset due to the Company 
will be recognised under the tax expense 
or income in the Consolidated Statement 
of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income when the amount to be received is 
known. 

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 are capitalised at the lease’s 
inception at the fair value of the leased 
property or, if lower, the present value 
of the minimum lease payments. The 
corresponding rental obligations, net of 
finance charges, are included in other short-
term and long-term payables. 

Each lease payment is allocated between 
the liability and finance cost. The finance 
cost is charged to the profit or loss over the 
lease period so as to produce a constant 
periodic rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability for each period. The 
property, plant and equipment acquired 
under finance leases is depreciated over the 
asset’s useful life 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.

PAGE 33

2 

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE CONTINUED

i) 

Leases continued

Leases in which a significant portion of 
the risks and rewards of ownership are 
not transferred to the Group as lessee are 
classified as operating leases. Payments 
made under 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.

j) 

Impairment of assets

Intangible assets that have an indefinite 
useful life are not subject to amortisation 
and are tested annually for impairment 
or more frequently if events or changes 
in circumstances indicate that they might 
be impaired. Other assets are tested for 
impairment whenever events or changes 
in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
amount may not be recoverable. An 
impairment loss is recognised for the 
amount by which the asset’s carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

The recoverable amount is the higher of 
an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and 
value in use. For the purposes of assessing 
impairment, assets are grouped at the 
lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable cash inflows which are largely 
independent of the cash inflows from other 
assets or groups of assets (cash-generating 
units). Non-financial assets other than 
goodwill that suffered an impairment 
are reviewed for possible reversal of the 
impairment at the end of each reporting 
period.

k)  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash 
on hand, deposits held at call with financial 
institutions, and other short-term, highly 
liquid investments with maturities of three 
months or less.

l) 

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially 
at fair value and subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest 
method, less provision for impairment. 
Trade receivables are due for settlement 
within 30 days. They are presented as 

PAGE 34                                                                                                                                     

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 due according to the original 
terms of the receivables. The amount of 
the provision is the difference between the 
asset’s carrying amount and the present 
value of estimated future cash flows, 
discounted at the original effective interest 
rate. 

Cash flows relating to short-term 
receivables are not discounted if the effect 
of discounting is immaterial. The amount of 
the provision is recognised in the profit or 
loss.

m)  Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure, 
including the costs of acquiring licences 
and permits, are capitalised as exploration 
and evaluation assets on an area of interest 
basis. Costs incurred before the Group has 
obtained the legal rights to explore an area 
are recognised in the statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income.

Exploration and evaluation assets are 
only recognised if the rights to the area of 
interest are current and either:

•	

•	

the	expenditures	are	expected	to	
be recouped through successful 
development and exploitation or from 
sale of the area of interest; or

activities	in	the	area	of	interest	have	
not at the reporting date reached a 
stage which permits a reasonable 
assessment of the existence or 
otherwise 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 sufficient data 
exists to determine technical feasibility 
and commercial viability, and facts and 
circumstances suggest that the carrying

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE CONTINUED

m)  Exploration and evaluation expenditure 

continued

amount exceeds the recoverable amount. 
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 minerals 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 to mineral property and 
development assets within property, plant 
and equipment.

When an area of interest is abandoned 
or the Directors decide that it is not 
commercial, any accumulated costs in 
respect of that area are written off in the 
financial period the decision is made.

The Cue Project Farm-in and Joint 
Venture with Silver Lake is deemed to be 
a Joint Operation under AASB 11: Joint 
Arrangements and the Group accounts 
for its share of the joint venture assets, 
liabilities, income and expenses.

n)  Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated 
at historical cost less accumulated 
depreciation. Historical cost includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to 
the acquisition of the items.

Where parts of an item of property, plant 
and equipment have different useful lives, 
they are accounted for as separate items of 
property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent costs are included in the 
asset’s carrying amount or recognised 
as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 
when it is probable that future economic 
benefits associated with the item will flow 
to the Group and the cost of the item can be 
measured reliably. The carrying amount of 
any component accounted for as a separate 
asset is derecognised when replaced. All 
other repairs and maintenance are charged 
to profit or loss during the reporting period 
in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the 
diminishing value and prime cost methods 
to allocate their cost, net of their residual 
values, over their estimated useful lives, 
or in the case of certain leased plant and 
equipment, the shorter lease term as 
follows:

•	 Motor	vehicles

8 years

•	

•	

Office	and	computer	equipment

1–10 years

Furniture,	fittings	and	equipment

1–10 years

n)  Property, plant and equipment

The assets’ residual values and useful lives 
are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at 
the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down 
immediately to its recoverable amount if the 
asset’s carrying amount is greater than its 
estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are 
determined by comparing proceeds with 
the carrying amount. These are included in 
profit or loss.

o)  Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for 
goods and services provided to the Group 
prior to the end of the financial year 
and which are unpaid. The amounts are 
unsecured and are usually paid within 
30 days of recognition. Trade and other 
payables are presented as current liabilities 
unless payment is not due within 12 months 
from the reporting date. 

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 

PAGE 35

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

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 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 termination benefits as a result 
of an offer made to encourage 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 shown in 
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the 
proceeds.

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.

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.

Other long-term obligations

The liability for long service leave and 
annual leave which is not expected to be 
settled within 12 months after the end 
of the period in which the employees 
render the related service, is recognised 
in the provision for employee benefits and 
measured as the present value of expected 
future payments to be made in respect 
of services provided by employees up to 
the end of the reporting period using the 
projected unit credit method. Consideration 
is given to expected future wage and salary 
levels, experience of employee departures 
and periods of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using market 
yields at the end of the reporting period on 
high quality corporate bonds with terms to 
maturity and currency that match, as closely 
as possible, the estimated future cash 
outflows.

Share-based payments

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.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE CONTINUED

r) 

Earnings per share continued  
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.

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

Receivables and payables are stated 
inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or 
payable. The net amount of GST recoverable 
from, or payable to, the taxation authority is 
included with other receivables or payables 
in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. 
The GST 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.

Financial assets at fair value through profit 
or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit 
or loss (“FVTPL”) include financial assets 
that are either classified as held for trading 
or that meet certain conditions and are 
designated at FVTPL upon initial recognition. 
All derivative financial instruments fall into 
this category, except for those designated 
and effective as hedging instruments, for 
which the hedge accounting requirements 
apply.

Assets in this category are measured at 
fair value with gains or losses recognised 
in profit or loss. The fair values of financial 
assets in this category are determined by 
reference to active market transactions or 
using a valuation technique where no active 
market exists.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets 
are non-derivative financial assets that are 
either designated to this  
category or do not qualify for inclusion 
in any of the other categories of financial 
assets. The Group’s AFS financial assets 
include listed securities.

AFS financial assets are measured at fair 
value. Gains and losses are recognised in 
other comprehensive income and reported 
within the AFS reserve within equity, 
except for impairment losses and foreign 
exchange differences on monetary assets, 
which are recognised in profit or loss. When 
the asset is disposed of or is determined 
to be impaired the cumulative gain or 
loss recognised in other comprehensive 
income is reclassified from the equity 
reserve to profit or loss and presented as 
a reclassification adjustment within other 
comprehensive income.

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.

INCOME TAX CONTINUED

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 $24,423,633 (2017: $20,269,956).

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.

The amounts held in trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. 
Based on the credit history of these trade and other receivables, it is expected that these amounts will be 
received when due. The Group’s financial risk management objectives and policies are set out in Note 23.

Due to the short-term nature of these receivables their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair 
value.

 In August 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Silver Lake Resources Limited’s remaining 
interest in the Cue Project JV by exercising its pre-emptive right. The consideration for the JV interest 
was $1.5 million in cash.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure is 
dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively the sale, of 
the respective areas of interest. As a result, an impairment of $41,108 (2017: $4,749,163) has been 
booked.

20  CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Contingent liabilities

The Group had contingent liabilities in respect of:

Future royalty payments

Musgrave holds a 100% interest in the key tenure at Cue including the Break of Day and Lena deposits and 
other prospects. Some of the Cue tenements are subject to third party royalty payments on future gold 
production including the mining licence hosting the Break of Day and Lena gold deposits.

Contingent assets

The Group had contingent assets in respect of:

Future royalty payments

In January 2014, the Group entered in to a Mining Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement (“Agreement”) 
with Menninnie Metals Pty Ltd. In August 2015, the parties agreed to terminate the Agreement 
(“Termination Agreement”). As part of the Termination Agreement the Group retains a 1% Net Smelter 
Return Royalty on all ores, concentrates or other primary, intermediate or final product of any minerals 
produced from two of the tenements.

There are no other material contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2018.

21  EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

On 3 July 2018 Musgrave executed a non-binding Term Sheet with Westgold that provides a near-term 
development pathway for the existing gold resources at its Cue Project. The Term Sheet outlines the scope 
of a Mine Management and Profit Sharing arrangement whereby Musgrave will receive 50% of profits 
from operations that will be financed, managed and operated by Westgold, an established and highly 
experienced Australian gold producer.

There have been no other events subsequent to reporting date which are sufficiently material to warrant 
disclosure. 

22  COMMITMENTS

In order to maintain an interest in the exploration tenements in which the Group is involved, the Group is 
committed to meeting the conditions under which the tenements were granted. The timing and amount 
of exploration expenditure commitments and obligations of the Group are subject to the minimum 
expenditure commitments required as per the Mining Act 1978 (Western Australia) and the Mining Act 
1971 (South Australia), and may vary significantly from the forecast based upon the results of the work 
performed which will determine the prospectivity of the relevant area of interest. Currently, the minimum 
expenditure commitments for the granted tenements is $901,940 (2017: $970,900) per annum.

Commitments in relation to the lease of office premises are payable as follows:

Within one year

Later than one year but not later than five years

23  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.

PAGE 47

23  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES CONTINUED

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 the amounts shown below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument 
fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers 
and investment securities. The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the 
Group policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification 
procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the 
Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value 
of the receivable, net of any provision for doubtful debts.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash 
and cash equivalents, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a 
maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. This risk is minimised by reviewing 
term deposit accounts from time to time with approved banks of a sufficient credit rating which is AA and 
above.

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal at this stage of its operations.

Commodity price risk

The Group’s exposure to commodity price risk is minimal at this stage of its operations.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The 
Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient 
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring 
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility. The following

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial 
Position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the 
observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

•	

•	

•	

Level	1:	quoted	prices	(unadjusted)	in	active	markets	for	identical	assets	or	liabilities

Level	2:	inputs	other	than	quoted	prices	included	within	Level	1	that	are	observable	for	the	asset	or	
liability, either directly or indirectly

Level	3:	unobservable	inputs	for	the	asset	or	liability

The following table shows the levels within the hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair 
value on a recurring basis at 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017:

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 
13 and 14 offset by cash and bank balances) and equity of the Group (comprising contributed equity and 
reserves, offset by accumulated losses detailed in Notes 15, 16 and 17).

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. None of the Group’s entities are 
subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

24  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.

Fair value of share options granted during the year

The fair value of share options at grant date is 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 $239,558.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

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.  

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Exploration and evaluation assets – refer to Note 2(m) 
and 11 

At 30 June 2018, the carrying value of exploration and 
evaluation assets was $10.256 million.   

In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of 
Mineral Resources, the Group is required to assess at each 
reporting date if there are any triggers for impairment which 
may suggest the carrying value is in excess of the recoverable 
value. 

The process undertaken by management to assess whether 
there are any impairment triggers in each area of interest 
involves an element of management judgement. 

This area is a key audit matter due to the significant 
judgement involved in determining the existence of 
impairment triggers.   

Available for Sale Financial Assets and Derivative 
Financial Instruments – refer to Note 2(t) and 9 

On 28 February 2017, the Group entered into a Tenement 
Sale Agreement with Legend Mining in respect of the Group’s 
non-core tenements in the Fraser Range area of Western 
Australia.  

Under the terms of the Agreement, Musgrave Minerals Limited 
transferred to Legend Mining 100% of its interests in 
tenements E28/2404 and E28/2405 and as consideration for 
the sale received: 

- 
- 

10,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Legend,  
10,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.04 
exercisable by 30 March 2021. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

(cid:120)  obtaining the management reconciliation of capitalised 

exploration and evaluation expenditure and agreeing to the 
general ledger; 

(cid:120)  reviewing management’s area of interest considerations 

against AASB 6; 

(cid:120)  conducting a detailed review of management’s assessment 
of trigger events prepared in accordance with AASB 6 
including;  

o 

o 

o 

tracing projects to statutory registers, 
exploration licenses and third party 
confirmations to determine whether a right 
of tenure existed; 
enquiry of management regarding their 
intentions to carry out exploration and 
evaluation activity in the relevant exploration 
area, including review of management’s 
budgeted expenditure; 
understanding whether any data exists to 
suggest that the carrying value of these 
exploration and evaluation assets are 
unlikely to be recovered through 
development or sale; 

(cid:120)  assessing the accuracy of impairment recorded for the year 

as it pertained to exploration interests; and 

(cid:120)  assessing the appropriateness of the related financial 

statement disclosures. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

(cid:120)  agreeing the receipt of shares and options to ASX 

announcements; 

(cid:120)  reviewing the terms and conditions of the options received; 
(cid:120)  reviewing the methodology and key inputs of the option 

valuation calculation, as at 30 June 2018; 

(cid:120)  recalculating the profit/ (loss) on disposal of the tenements 
in reference to the fair value of the shares and options 
received; 

(cid:120)  testing the calculation of fair value movements on the 
shares and options during the period to ensure these 
movements were recognised in 'other comprehensive 
income' and 'statement of profit or loss' respectively; and 

(cid:120)  assessing the adequacy of the Group's disclosures in 

respect to available for sale financial assets and derivative 
financial instruments. 

PAGE 58

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

In accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards, the 
consideration received at transaction date is recorded at fair 
value and subsequently revalued at each reporting date.  

The calculation undertaken by management to estimate at fair 
value the Legend Mining options involves an element of 
management judgement.  

This area is a key audit matter due to the significant 
judgement involved in determining the fair value of the 
available for sale financial assets and derivative financial 
instruments, driven by movements in financial markets. 

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the 
Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our 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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the 
Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report  
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing 
Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are 
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions 
of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance 
Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our 
auditor’s report.
