MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2019

PAGE 1                                                                                                                                     

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure 
to present the 2019 Annual Report for Musgrave 
Minerals Limited (“Musgrave” or “Company”).

The Company’s focus continues to be on the Cue 
Project (“Cue”) in the well-endowed, gold producing 
Murchison region of Western Australia where our 
main objective is to significantly grow our gold 
resources through extensional and greenfield 
exploration drilling. Exploration success continued 
through 2019, the main highlight being the discovery 
of extensive gold mineralisation under transported 
cover at Lake Austin North.

The potential of Lake Austin North is highlighted by 
drill intersections received to date, such as 242m 
@ 1.0g/t Au, including 45m @ 3.3g/t Au  (see ASX 
announcement  3 December 2018, “Diamond Drilling 
Confirms Significant Gold Discovery at Lake Austin 
North” ). There is still a lot of work to be completed 
at Lake Austin as our 2019 drilling campaign 
identified basement gold mineralisation over a strike 
extent of more than 500m and this large gold zone 
is still open along strike and at depth. Also, the Lake 
Austin North discovery is within a more than 3km 
long, regolith gold anomaly and regional aircore 
drilling has identified a broad zone of more than 
8km in combined strike of basement gold targets 
that require follow-up basement drill testing. This 
large exploration program will require significant 
long term funding but we remain confident that Lake 
Austin has the potential for further discoveries and is 
host to a significant gold system.

In March 2019, The Company entered an option 
agreement to acquire 100% of the non-alluvial gold 
rights to the Mainland Project in the Cue region. 
Mainland lies along strike, to the north of Lake 
Austin and produced significant quantities of alluvial 
gold over the years but has only seen very limited 
basement drilling.

At the Lena deposit to the south of Lake Austin, the 
team identified several high-grade shoots that have 
the potential to significantly grow the gold resource 
beyond the current JORC estimate. Drilling at both 
Mainland and Lena commenced in the new financial 
year and both prospects are delivering excellent, 
early results.

Given the ongoing drilling success at Cue, the current 
resource figure of 440koz of gold is expected to grow. 
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. 

At the end of the last financial year Musgrave and 
Westgold agreed to a non-binding Term Sheet 
that provided the scope on which a formal Mine 
Management and Profit Sharing Agreement could 
be negotiated. Although these negotiations did not 
lead to a formal agreement, the Company continues 
to advance its internal optimisation and development 
studies to assist in forecasting production goals and 
potential development pathways for the project. 

In the meantime, Musgrave will continue to look 
at funding options to capitalise on the exploration 
upside and accelerate drilling programs across a 
range of high priority targets including Mainland, 
Lena and Lake Austin North, 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.

The Company completed a capital raising in 
December 2018 to raise $5.5M through a share 
placement to institutional and sophisticated 
investors. The Placement attracted several new 
investors to the Company and was supported by 
many existing shareholders. I would like to take this 
opportunity, on behalf of the Board, to thank all 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 discovery 
and development through corporate deals, high-
quality exploration and technical studies for the 
benefit of all Musgrave shareholders.

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2019

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Musgrave Minerals Ltd (“Musgrave” or “the 
Company”) (ASX:MGV) is an Australian resources 
company focused on gold exploration and 
development at the Cue Project in the Murchison 
Province of Western Australia.

Exploration activities for the financial year have been 
focused on gold exploration at Cue. The Company 
has had significant exploration success during the 
year with the discovery of high grade gold under 
transported cover at Lake Austin North. 

Musgrave has an estimated 440koz of gold in 
resources on the Cue Project and completed more 
than 30,000m of drilling during the year. The total 
Indicated and Inferred JORC Mineral Resources on 
the project are; 4.83 Mt @ 2.84g/t Au for 440,000 
ounces of gold (see ASX announcement 15 October 
2018, “Annual Report”).

The Break of Day and Lena Mineral Resource 
estimates are being used as the basis for in-house 
near term development studies.

Musgrave’s intent is to secure exploration finance, 
grow the resource base and develop a low-cost 
operation to enable the Company to self-fund 
exploration and growth through continuous 
discovery.

2019 was a successful year for Musgrave, with a very 
positive and extensive lake drilling campaign, the 
discovery of gold mineralisation at Lake Austin North 
and the divestment of the base metal interests on 
our northern Cue tenements. Our focus continues to 
be on the Cue Project (“Cue”) which is located in the 
well-endowed, gold producing Murchison region of 
Western Australia.

The Company will look to de-risk our funding 
requirements and expanding our gold resources 
through extensional and new greenfield exploration 
drilling at Cue. Exceptional hits such as 242m @ 
1.0g/t Au, including 45m @ 3.3g/t Au (see ASX 
announcement 3 December 2018, “Diamond Drilling 
Confirms Significant Gold Discovery at Lake Austin 
North”) have highlighted the potential of the Lake 
Austin North area with basement gold mineralisation 
now confirmed over a strike extent of more than 
500m where it is still open along strike and at depth. 
The Lake Austin North prospect is within a 3km long 
regolith gold anomaly which is still largely untested.

Regional aircore drilling on Lake Austin has identified 
more than 8km of basement gold targets within 
multiple zones of strong regolith gold anomalism 

that require follow-up basement drill testing. Secure 
long term funding will be required to fully test the 
gold potential of these new under cover targets. 

At Lena, the team has identified a number of high-
grade shoots that have the potential to significantly 
grow the gold resource beyond the current 
resource estimate. An analysis of historical data has 
highlighted a number of intercepts below the existing 
resource including, 6.0m @ 31.1g/t Au (MGDD3) and 
6.2m @ 18.6g/t Au (MGDD2) (see ASX announcement 
12 July 2019, “Opportunity to Extend Lena High-
Grade Resource at Cue”). A drilling program has 
commenced to test these new target zones with 
positive results returned in early drilling.

Musgrave also has tenement applications in the 
Musgrave Geological Province of South Australia 
(Figure 1).

Corporate

During the year, Musgrave spent $6.0 million on 
exploration activities. 

In March 2019, Musgrave entered into an option 
agreement to acquire 100% of the non-alluvial gold 
rights to the Mainland Project in the Cue region. 
The Mainland area has seen very limited basement 
drilling but produced significant quantities of alluvial 
gold over the years. Drilling has commenced at 
Mainland with encouraging early drill results. 

Musgrave successfully completed a capital raising 
in December 2018 to raise $5.5M through a share 
placement to institutional and sophisticated 
investors.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

In February 2019 the Company executed a Binding 
Term Sheet with Cyprium Australia Pty Ltd 
(“Cyprium”) regarding an option, earn-in and joint 
venture on the non-gold rights over the northern 
tenements at the Cue Project in Western Australia’s 
Murchison region. Cyprium made an initial payment 
of $10,000 for an exclusive 90-day option period 
and on 31 May 2019 exercised the option to earn 
an 80% interest by the payment to the Company of 
$250,000 worth of shares in ARC Exploration Limited 
(subsequently renamed Cyprium Metals Limited 
ASX:CYM). Cyprium is required to spend $2 million 
on exploration within two years to complete the 
acquisition of the 80% interest. Musgrave will retain 
a 20% free-carried interest to the completion of a 
definitive feasibility study.

In May 2018 Musgrave and Westgold agreed to a 
non-binding Term Sheet that provided the scope on 
which a formal Mine Management and Profit Sharing 
Agreement could be negotiated. Although these 
negotiations did not lead to a formal agreement, 
the Company continues to advance its internal 
optimisation and development studies to assist in 
defining a development pathway for the project.

Musgrave will continue to maximise its exploration 
strengths and accelerate drilling across high priority 
targets including Mainland, Lena, Break of Day and 
Lake Austin North, 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 producer.

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.

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 $350,000.

The Company successfully secured an Exploration 
Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) co-funded drilling grant of 
$150,000 for the Cue Project to drill test gold targets 
in 2019-20 on Lake Austin.

Events since the end of the financial year

On 17 September 2019 Musgrave announced that 
it had entered into an Earn-In and Joint Venture 
Exploration Agreement with Evolution Mining 
Limited over a select area of Lake Austin and 
surrounds (JV Area) of the Cue Project in the 
Murchison District of Western Australia.  The JV Area 
excludes all the known resources including Lena and 
Break of Day and the Mainland option area. Evolution 
can earn a 75% interest in the JV Area by sole 
funding A$18 million on exploration over a five year 
term with a minimum commitment of A$4 million 
in the first two years. Musgrave will manage the JV 
during the initial period. As part of the Agreement, 
Evolution has agreed to subscribe for 18,587,361 
ordinary shares in Musgrave through a share 
placement (“Placement”) at a price of $0.0807 per 
share. The placement was set at the 30-day VWAP for 
Musgrave shares and represents a holding of 4.59% 
(undiluted) in the Company.

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.

Exploration Activities

Musgrave continued its successful exploration 
at Cue with a new gold discovery at Lake Austin 
North (Figure 2) where encouraging basement gold 
mineralisation was intersected over a strike extent of 
more than 500m, below a regolith (weathered rock) 
gold halo that extends for a strike length of more 
than 3km. This broader target area remains untested 
with further basement drilling set to continue in early 
2020.

Drilling results from the new Lake Austin North target 
continue to be encouraging with more than 8km of 
strike of basement targets now identified, supporting 
our belief that there is a large gold system buried 
beneath the salt lake. Options to fund this large scale 
ongoing salt lake exploration are currently being 
considered (see MGV ASX release dated 20/08/2019).

An initial drill program has been completed at the 
newly acquired Mainland Project with high-grade 
gold intersected at Consols (3m @ 5.4g/t Au) where it 
remains open.

At Lena, a reassessment of historical drilling data has 
highlighted a 500m long high-grade gold shoot with 
significant down plunge potential. Follow-up drilling 
has commenced returning highly encouraging  first 
assay results including 4m @ 13.1g/t Au (see MGV 
ASX release 20 August 2019, “High-Grade Gold 
Intersected at Lena and Mainland, Cue Project”). 
Drilling is continuing.

“The broad drilling intercepts, geological 

context, shear zone and alteration support 

the Company’s view that the Lake Austin 

North prospect demonstrates the potential 

for a large gold system.”

A significant exploration program is planned for the 
coming year with the objective to grow the resource 
base and progress development studies to define a 
clear path to gold production.

Murchison 

Gold Focus

Musgrave continued to sharpen its focus on gold in 
the Murchison with the acquisition of the Mainland 
Project in February 2019 and the divestment of the 
non-gold rights to the northern Cue tenure (Figure 3) 
to Cyprium Australia Pty Ltd.

with an existing producer. There are six gold plants 
within the district (Figure 4) and the Great Northern 
Highway runs within 3km of the existing Cue gold 
resources.

Development Options

Following the expiry of the non-binding Term Sheet 
with Westgold, the Company has focussed on 
internal studies to optimise and assist in forecasting 
production goals and potential development 
pathways for the Cue project. Musgrave has been 
granted a 5C water extraction licence, and is 
progressing mine permitting at Break of Day and 
Lena.   

Musgrave will continue to maximise its exploration 
strengths and accelerate drilling across high priority 
targets including Mainland, Lena, Break of Day and

development flexibility for the Company.”

Lena and Break of Day

The Lena deposit has a JORC 2012 resource of 
2,682kT @ 1.77g/t Au for 153koz Au (see MGV ASX 
release 15 October 2018, “Annual Report”) which is 
only estimated to a maximum vertical depth of 160m 
on Lena Main lode (Figure 5) and more shallowly on 
the peripheral lodes.

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2019

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The Lena deposit consists of a number of gold 
lodes, with some having significant high-grade 
depth potential. Interpretation of historical drill data 
has identified a 500m-long, high-grade southerly 
plunging shoot on the main Lena lode that remains 
open at depth below the current JORC resource. 

A number of historical high-grade diamond drill 
intercepts lie within this interpreted extension of the 
high-grade gold lode (Figure 6) including:



3.1m @ 16.9g/t Au from 304.5m down hole 
(MGDD1) including;

6.2m @ 18.6g/t Au from 372.2m down hole

6.0m @ 31.1g/t Au from 354.8m down hole 
(MGDD3) including;

0.6m @ 206.0g/t Au from 358.9m down 
hole

3.0m @ 25.2g/t Au from 364.9m down hole 
(MGDD9)

4.3m @ 14.1g/t Au from 367.9m down hole 
(MGDD12)

2.0m @ 82.0g/t Au from 220.0m down hole 
(MGDD21)

(see MGV ASX release 12 July 2019, “Opportunity to 
Extend Lena High-Grade Resource at Cue”)

The majority of this historical drilling was undertaken 
by Perilya in the 1990’s. These intercepts were not 
incorporated in the most recent resource estimate 

due to the broad nature of the drill hole spacing. An 
infill drilling program has commenced at Lena with 
the goal of significantly growing the resource.

The current program will consist of a combination 
of RC (pre-collars) and diamond drilling to better 
define and infill this high-grade gold shoot below 
the existing resource.  The aim of the program is to 
improve the geological confidence and demonstrate 
continuity of the mineralisation by reducing the drill 
spacing to enable an upgrade of the Lena resource 
estimate.

“The upside at Lena is significant with drilling 

confirming high-grade gold mineralisation 

below the existing resource that remains 

open down plunge.”

Initial Lena follow-up drill results have been 
encouraging with intercepts including:

 

 

1m @ 25.7g/t Au from 110m down hole which 
is approximately 50m vertically beneath the 
existing resource on the Eastern lode, and

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The mineralisation is open at depth on all lodes.

Mainland

Following the execution of an Option Agreement to 
acquire the Mainland tenements near Cue (Figure 
2) in March 2019, the Company completed an 
initial RC drilling program to test three high-priority 
targets (Figure 7) in late June 2019. The drilling 
was successful returning 3m @ 5.4g/t Au from 74m 
down hole (19MORC008) (see MGV ASX release 20 
August 2019, “High-Grade Gold Intersected at Lena 
and Mainland, Cue Project”). The intercept is in the 
western most drill hole and is open to the west and 
at depth. 

The initial targets drill tested at Mainland relate to a 
series of historical workings with limited historical 
drill testing. The Mainland Prospect area covers the 
northern extension of the shear corridor that hosts 
Musgrave’s Break of Day and Lena gold deposits and 
the Lake Austin North prospect (Figure 2). 

Mainland has a long history of alluvial (historical and 
recent) and high-grade basement gold production

Lake Austin - Regional

As part of a significant focus on Lake Austin 
during the year, Musgrave completed a regional 
aircore drilling program to obtain geological and 
geochemical information to integrate with new 
detailed geophysical data to provide vectors to focus 
basement drilling and make new gold discoveries. 

In addition to the extensive Lake Austin North 
A-Zone target, multiple zones of anomalous regolith 
gold have also been identified sub-parallel to the 
A-Zone, many of which have an individual strike 
of more than 1km (Figures 8 and 9) and are all yet 
to be tested with basement drilling. Some are still 
open and further drilling is required to define their 
limits. The combined basement strike potential of 
the Lake Austin North system is now over 8km with 
only ~500m of this potential tested with basement 
drilling to date. This equates to approximately 6% of 
the basement target zone tested to date, highlighting 
the significant upside potential of this gold system, 
which will require significant long term funding to 
properly test. 

Many of the aircore drill holes terminated in 
mineralisation highlighting the possible proximity to 
basement gold mineralisation and the necessity for 
further drill testing. A detailed regional aeromagnetic 
survey covering the entire package of southern 
Cue tenements has recently been completed and is 
currently being processed and integrated into the 
targeting model to prioritise zones for further drilling.

View South through old circa 1900 building, 
Mainland area, Cue

dating back to circa 1900, with significant untested 
basement gold potential. Multiple new targets have 
been generated for drill testing during a larger phase 
two drilling program scheduled to commence in the 
December 2019 quarter.

Historical records indicate that the main underground 
mines at Mainland produced 20,148oz gold from 
1897-1901 and 1925-1930 at an average grade of 
69.2g/t Au *.

Western Australia, Record 1970/7, Table 1.

Lake Austin North

During the year the Company made the significant 
discovery of broad intervals of basement gold 
mineralisation at Lake Austin North. Aircore drilling 
has extended the Lake Austin North A-Zone gold 
target, located approximately 3km north of Break 
of Day/Lena to a strike of over 3km where it is still 
open to the north and south (Figure 8). This extensive 
gold regolith ‘halo’ follows the tonalite-mafic 
contact along a major shear zone, the Lena-Break 
of Day shear corridor.  Only ~500m of the A-Zone 
basement target has been drilled to date leaving a 
large, prospective 2.5km zone, as yet untested with 
basement drilling, below the transported cover.

The geological model for A-Zone is continuing 
to develop with the mineralisation characterised 
by high-strain (typically higher grade gold) zones 
surrounded by crackle breccia zones (typically lower 
grade gold) (Figure 10).

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Aircore drilling is a reconnaissance exploration 
technique used to better define basement geology 
below the lake cover and provides a direct detection 
geochemical tool to define areas of gold anomalism 
for follow-up basement drilling at depth. The aircore 
technique can only effectively drill to the top of fresh 
rock through the lake clays and oxidised rock that 
is the Archaean regolith. Low-grade aircore results 
can provide a geochemical indication of higher-
grade mineralisation in the basement beneath as is 
commonly seen throughout the Western Australian 
Yilgarn region.

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2019

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Your Directors present their report on the 
consolidated entity consisting of Musgrave Minerals 
Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiary (“the 
Group” or “the Consolidated Entity”) at the end of 
the year ended 30 June 2019.

DIRECTORS

The following persons were Directors of the 
Company during the whole of the financial year and 
up to the date of this report:

  Mr Graham Ascough, Non-Executive Chairman

  Mr Robert Waugh, Managing Director

  Ms Kelly Ross, Non-Executive Director

  Mr John Percival, Non-Executive Director

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

During the year, the principal continuing activities of 
the Group consisted of:

 

 
 

 

exploration of mineral tenements, both on a 
joint venture basis and by the Group in its own 
right, with the intent to progress to development 
in the near to mid-term;

development studies on existing resources; 

continuing to seek extensions of areas held and 
to seek out new areas with mineral potential; 
and

evaluating results received through surface 
sampling, geophysical surveys and drilling 
activities carried out during the year.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

The consolidated loss of the Group after providing 
for income tax for the year ended 30 June 2019 was 
$1,329,040 (2018: $189,475).

DIVIDENDS

No dividends have been paid or declared since the 
start of the financial year. No recommendation for 
the payment of a dividend has been made by the 
Directors.

OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Information on the operations of the Group and its 
prospects is set out in the “Review of Operations” 
section of this Report.

FINANCIAL

Exploration and evaluation costs totalling $336,589 
(2018: $41,108) were impaired during the year. The 
impaired exploration and evaluation costs primarily 
comprise previously capitalised costs in relation to 
the Company’s Corunna Project (EL5497) in South 
Australia.

As at 30 June 2019, the Group had net assets of 
$20,092,444 (2018: $16,086,195) including cash and 
cash equivalents of $3,543,732 (2018: $5,230,122).

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

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

Exploration continues to be a major focus for the 
Company with exceptional drilling results at the Cue 
Project as discussed in the Review of Operations 
section of this report. 

On 19 December 2018, the Company completed a 
placement to corporate, institutional, professional 
and sophisticated investors of 59,782,609 ordinary 
shares at an issue price of 9.2 cents per share raising 
$5,500,000 before costs.

In February 2019, the Company executed a 
Binding Term Sheet with Cyprium Australia Pty Ltd 
(“Cyprium”) regarding an option, earn-in and joint 
venture on the non-gold rights over the northern 
tenements at the Cue Project in Western Australia’s 
Murchison region. Cyprium made an initial payment 
of $10,000 for an exclusive 90-day option period 
and on 31 May 2019 exercised the option to earn 
an 80% interest by the payment to the Company of 
$250,000 worth of shares in ARC Exploration Limited 
(subsequently renamed Cyprium Metals Limited 
(ASX:CYM)). Cyprium is required to spend $2 million 
on exploration within two years to acquire the 80% 
interest. Musgrave will retain a 20% free-carried 
interest to the completion of a definitive feasibility 
study.

In March 2019, the Company entered into an Option 
Agreement (“Agreement”) to acquire the non-alluvial 
gold rights to the Mainland Project which is located 
within the boundaries of the Company’s Cue Gold 
Project. Musgrave paid $125,000 for a 100% interest 
in the tenements (excluding the vendor’s interest 
in alluvial gold) with a further $100,000 due within 
18 months and an additional $300,000 to be paid 
as milestone payments in Musgrave shares or cash 
(at the Company’s discretion) before the fourth 
anniversary of the Agreement. The vendor will be 
entitled to a 1% gross royalty on any gold produced 
by the Company from the tenements (excluding any 
alluvial gold).

In March 2019, the non-binding Term Sheet with 
Westgold Resources Limited to explore the potential 
profit sharing development of Lena and Break of Day 
expired. Westgold remains a substantial shareholder.

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 17 September 2019 Musgrave announced that 
it had entered into an Earn-In and Joint Venture 
Exploration Agreement with Evolution Mining 
Limited over a select area of Lake Austin and

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

surrounds (JV Area) of the Cue Project in the 
Murchison District of Western Australia.  The JV Area 
excludes all the known resources including Lena and 
Break of Day and the Mainland option area. Evolution 
can earn a 75% interest in the JV Area by sole 
funding A$18 million on exploration over a five year 
term with a minimum commitment of A$4 million 
in the first two years. Musgrave will manage the JV 
during the initial period. As part of the Agreement, 
Evolution has agreed to subscribe for 18,587,361 
ordinary shares in Musgrave through a share 
placement (“Placement”) at a price of $0.0807 per 
share. The placement was set at the 30-day VWAP for 
Musgrave shares and represents a holding of 4.59% 
(undiluted) in the Company.

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

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 2001 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 was sought during the 
period ended 30 June 2019.

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

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.

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 2018 Annual General Meeting

Musgrave Minerals Limited received more than 98% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 
2018 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the Annual General Meeting or

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

CORPORATE INFORMATION

The consolidated financial report of Musgrave Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019 was 
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 19 September 2019.

Musgrave Minerals Limited is a for profit company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares which 
are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operation and principal 
activities of the consolidated entity are described in the attached Directors’ Report.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements 
are set out below and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the consolidated financial 
statements and by all entities in the consolidated entity.

2 

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent 
Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. 

Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of Musgrave Minerals Limited also comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board 
(“IASB”). 

New and amended accounting standards and interpretations adopted by the Group

The following standards relevant to the operations of the Group and effective from 1 July 2018 have been 
adopted.

 

 

 

AASB 9: Financial Instruments;

AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers; and

AASB 2016-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification and Measurement of 
Share-based Payment Transactions.

The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the 
financial performance or position of the Group. Details of each standards’ impact, and the new accounting 
policies adopted are set out below.

Impact of adoption of AASB 9: Financial Instruments (“AASB 9”)

AASB 9 replaces the provisions of AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Measurement and Recognition, 
that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, 
derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.

The adoption of AASB 9 resulted in minimal changes in accounting policies. The new accounting policies 
are set out in Notes 7 and 9. There was no significant impact on the financial performance or position of 
the Group on the date of initial application, 1 July 2018, or at the reporting date, 30 June 2019. Details are 
below.

Classification and measurement of financial assets

On the date of initial application, 1 July 2018, the financial instruments of the Group were as follows, with 
any reclassifications noted.

The Group elected to present in other comprehensive income changes in the fair value of all its listed 
equities previously classified as available-for-sale. As a result, listed equities with a fair value of $610,000 
were reclassified from available-for-sale recognised under non-current available-for-sale financial assets to 
financial assets at FVOCI on 1 July 2018. 

Impairment of trade and other receivables 

Prior to the adoption of AASB 9, in accordance with AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Measurement and 
Recognition, the Group applied an incurred credit loss model. Upon adoption of AASB 9, the Group has 
elected to apply the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses the lifetime 
expected loss allowance for all trade and other receivables.

Due to the nature of the Group’s trade and other receivables, there was no impact of the expected loss 
allowance under AASB 9 against the loss incurred under AASB 139 to the Group. 

Impact of adoption of AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“AASB 15”)

AASB 15 replaces AASB 118 Revenue. AASB 15 provides a single, principles based five step model to be 
applied to all contracts with customers.

The adoption of AASB 15 resulted in minimal changes in accounting policies. The new accounting policies 
are set out in Note 3. There was no impact on the financial performance or position of the Group on the 
date of initial application, 1 July 2018, or at reporting date, 30 June 2019.

New accounting standards and interpretations

The following new and amended accounting standards and interpretations relevant to the operations of the 
Group have been published but are not mandatory for the current financial year. The Group has decided 
against early adoption of these standards and has not yet determined the potential impact on the financial 
statements from the adoption of these standards and interpretations.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE CONTINUED

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

New or revised requirement

AASB 16: Leases

Application date 
of standard

Application date 
for Group

1 Jan 2019

1 Jul 2019

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 2020.

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 2019 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

2 

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE CONTINUED

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.

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.

e) 

Functional and presentation currency

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

f) 

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.

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.

g)  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.

In February 2019, the Company executed a Binding Term Sheet with Cyprium Australia Pty Ltd 
(“Cyprium”) regarding an option, earn-in and joint venture on the non-gold rights over the northern 
tenements at the Cue Project in Western Australia’s Murchison region. Cyprium made an initial 
payment of $10,000 for an exclusive 90-day option period and on 31 May 2019 exercised the option to 
earn an 80% interest by the payment to the Company of $250,000 worth of shares in ARC Exploration 
Limited (subsequently renamed Cyprium Metals Limited ASX:CYM).

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be 
entitled to in exchange for transferring services to a customer. Revenue and expenses are recognised on an 
accruals basis.

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

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 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, 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 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.

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 $30,775,748 (2018: $24,423,633).

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.

Trade and other receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current 
assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.

Trade and other receivables are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less 
any allowance for expected credit losses.

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or 
group of financial assets is impaired. For trade and other receivables, the Group applies the simplified 
approach permitted by AASB 9 to determine any allowances for expected credit losses, which requires 
expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The expected credit 
losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical 
credit loss experience. 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 the 
amounts will be received when due.

The Group’s financial risk management objectives and policies are set out in Note 22.

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

Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on settlement date where the purchase or sale of an 
investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the time-frame 
established by the market concerned. They are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, 
except for those financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured 
at fair value. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in 
profit or loss.

The Group classifies its financial assets as either financial assets at fair value though profit or loss 
(“FVPL”), fair value though other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or at amortised cost. The classification 
depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the 
cash flows.

For investments in equity instruments, the classification depends on whether the Group has made an 
irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at FVPL or FVOCI.

Financial assets at FVPL

For assets measured at FVPL, gains and losses will be recorded in profit or loss. The Group’s derivative 
financial instruments are recognised at FVPL. Assets in this category are subsequently measured at fair 
value. 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. Refer to Note 22 for additional 
details. 

Financial assets at OCI

For assets measured at FVOCI, gains and losses will be recorded in other comprehensive income. There is 
no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition 
of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other 
income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Impairment losses (and reversal of 
impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other 
changes in fair value. The Group has elected to measure its listed equities at FVOCI.

Assets in this category are subsequently measured at fair value. The fair values of quoted investments are 
based on current bid prices in an active market. Refer to Note 22 for additional details.

10  EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION (CONTINUED)

i) 

ii) 

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.

In March 2019 the Company entered into an Option Agreement (“Agreement”) to acquire the non-
alluvial gold rights to the Mainland Project for an initial payment of $125,000.

iii)  The impairment expense for the year relates primarily to the write down of capitalised exploration 

expenditure for the Company’s Corunna Project.

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 
Company 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:

a) 

b) 

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 
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.

Significant estimate and judgement

There is some subjectivity involved in the carry forward of capitalised exploration and evaluation 
expenditure or, where appropriate, the write off to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income, however management give due consideration to areas of interest on a regular 
basis and are confident that decisions to either write off or carry forward such expenditure fairly reflect the 
prevailing situation.

and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for 
annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit 
obligations are presented as payables.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position of the Group.

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 as a non-current 
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.

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. Ordinary shares 
have the right to receive dividends as declared, and in the event of winding up the Company, to 
participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of and 
amounts paid up on shares held. Ordinary shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or

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.

19  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.

Future consideration and royalty payments

In March 2019, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (“Agreement”) to acquire the non-alluvial 
gold rights to the Mainland Project which is located within the boundaries of the Company’s Cue Gold 
Project. Musgrave paid $125,000 to execute the option to acquire 100% interest in the tenements (excluding 
the vendors’ interest in alluvial gold). A further $100,000 is due within 18 months and an additional 
$300,000 is to be paid as milestone payments in Musgrave shares or cash (at the Company’s discretion) 
before the fourth anniversary of the Agreement. The vendor will be entitled to a 1% gross royalty on any 
gold produced by the Company from the tenements (excluding any alluvial gold).

Contingent assets

The Group had contingent assets in respect of:

Future royalty payments

In January 2014, the Group entered into 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.

Deferred consideration

In May 2019, Cyprium Australia Pty Ltd (“Cyprium”) exercised an option to earn an 80% interest in the non-
gold rights over the northern tenements (“Tenements”) of the Company’s Cue Project. Cyprium is required 
to spend $2 million on exploration within two years to acquire the 80% interest upon which the Company 
will retain 20% and be free carried to a definitive feasibility study. Should Cyprium delineate 80,000 tonnes 
of contained copper over the Tenements, $200,000 in cash or the equivalent value of Cyprium shares 
(at Cyprium’s election) will be due to the Company. Upon a Decision to Mine, $300,000 in cash or the 
equivalent value of Cyprium shares (at Cyprium’s election) will be due to the Company.

There are no other material contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2019.

20  EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

On 17 September 2019 Musgrave announced that it had entered into an Earn-In and Joint Venture 
Exploration Agreement with Evolution Mining Limited over a select area of Lake Austin and surrounds 
(JV Area) of the Cue Project in the Murchison District of Western Australia.  The JV Area excludes all the 
known resources including Lena and Break of Day and the Mainland option area. Evolution can earn a 75% 
interest in the JV Area by sole funding A$18 million on exploration over a five year term with a minimum 
commitment of A$4 million in the first two years. Musgrave will manage the JV during the initial period. 
As part of the Agreement, Evolution has agreed to subscribe for 18,587,361 ordinary shares in Musgrave 
through a share placement (“Placement”) at a price of $0.0807 per share. The placement was set at the 30-
day VWAP for Musgrave shares and represents a holding of 4.59% (undiluted) in the Company.

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

21  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 $992,300 (2018: $901,940) per annum. Of this 
amount $488,000 will be met by the Group’s joint venture partners as part of their earn-in obligations.  

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

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.

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 expected credit loss.

22  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s 
maximum exposure to credit risk is tabled below.

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:

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

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; and

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 2019 and 30 June 2018:

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 and other payables and provisions detailed in 
Notes 12 and 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 and 16).

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Musgrave Minerals Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Musgrave Minerals Limited (the Company) and its subsidiary
(the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:

(i)

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the
financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Recoverability of exploration and evaluation expenditure

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As disclosed in Note 10 to the Financial
Report, the carrying value of capitalised
exploration and evaluation expenditure
represents a significant asset of the Group.

Refer to Note 10 of the Financial Report for a
description of the accounting policy and
significant judgements applied to capitalised
exploration and evaluation expenditure.

In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for
and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (AASB 6),
the recoverability of exploration and
evaluation expenditure requires significant
judgment by management in determining
whether there are any facts or circumstances
that exist to suggest that the carrying amount
of this asset may exceed its recoverable
amount. As a result, this is considered a key
audit matter.

Our procedures included, but were not limited
to:

(cid:120) Obtaining a schedule of the areas of interest
held by the Group and assessing whether the
rights to tenure of those areas of interest
remained current at balance date;

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

Considering the status of the ongoing
exploration programmes in the respective
areas of interest by holding discussions with
management, and reviewing the Group’s
exploration budgets, ASX announcements and
directors’ minutes;

Considering whether any such areas of
interest had reached a stage where a
reasonable assessment of economically
recoverable reserves existed;

Considering whether any facts or
circumstances existed to suggest impairment
testing was required; and

Assessing the adequacy of the related
disclosures in Note 10 to the Financial Report.

PAGE 54

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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.

Other matter

The financial report of Musgrave Minerals Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2018 was audited by
another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on that report on 19 September 2018.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
