MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2020CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Mining Limited (“Evolution”). Evolution is currently 
sole-funding the joint venture and can earn up to a 
75% interest through expenditure of $18M. Musgrave 
is managing the initial work programs, with the 
Phase 1 drilling program complete (22,879m) and the 
follow-up Phase 2 program (~21,900m) underway. 
Assays received for the first phase of the program 
have identified multiple regolith gold halos that 
potential overlie significant accumulations of gold 
in the underlying basement. Once the current Phase 
2 aircore drilling is complete, the priority basement 
targets will be tested with reverse circulation (RC) 
and/or diamond drilling. 

The Company continually reviews the ongoing 
situation relating to COVID-19 and the implications 
for the health and wellbeing of our employees, 
contractors and stakeholders. We are pro-active 
with respect to our response and have operational 
procedures and plans in-place in-line with official 
health advice and government directives. Musgrave 
will continue to operate within these guidelines, and 
I’m pleased to say that, to date, we remain incident 
free. Logistics and planning are more complex 
but there have not been significant delays or cost 
impacts on our programs to date related to COVID-19. 

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 identifying and testing new targets, 
growing our resources and progressing towards 
development, through high-quality exploration and 
technical studies for the benefit of all Musgrave 
shareholders. 

Graham Ascough

Chairman

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure 
to present the 2020 Annual Report for Musgrave 
Minerals Limited (“Musgrave” or “Company”).

The Company’s Cue Project (“Cue”) in the well-
endowed, gold producing Murchison region of 
Western Australia is proving to be a game changer. 
The outstanding success of our exploration programs 
at Cue have been transformational for Musgrave and 
the highlight for 2020 is the discovery of the high-
grade, near surface Starlight gold lode at Break of 
Day.  

The Starlight discovery was not an overnight 
success, although the impacts on the Company were 
immediately positive. Musgrave has been exploring 
at Cue for the past 4 years and in that time we have 
made new discoveries and have grown the resource 
base to approximately 613koz gold, a figure that is 
expected to grow as it does not yet include the recent 
Starlight or White Light high-grade discoveries. 

The Starlight discovery resulted from the culmination 
of the years of experience at Cue and subsequent 
in-depth analysis of results by our highly motivated 
and talented team that recognised the potential for 
high-grade ‘link lodes’ at Break of Day. This was an 
excellent example of true exploration insight and 
the first holes into Starlight and then subsequently 
White Light, are a testament to the perseverance and 
analytical excellence of our team who have identified 
a further 18 similar targets along the belt that are 
now in the process of being drill tested.

During the year, the Lena resource, located ~150m 
west of Break of Day, was updated, adding 172koz 
and bringing our total resource base to 6.45Mt @ 
3.0g/t Au for 613,000 ounces of contained gold. 
We look forward to completing the Break of Day 
resource update in 2020 that will no doubt add 
further high-grade ounces to this already significant 
figure. We anticipate the resource update will lead to 
the commencement of feasibility studies on Break 
of Day and Lena that will investigate the profitable 
development of a ‘stand-alone’ operation at Cue.

In parallel with the feasibility work, Musgrave will 
continue to capitalise on its exploration strengths 
and accelerate drilling programs across a range of 
high priority targets at Cue that will include testing 
for new high-grade targets regionally, extending 
the existing lodes at  Break of Day and targeting 
discovery opportunities at Mainland. 

A substantial drilling program on Lake Austin is 
continuing under our Joint Venture with Evolution

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2020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 the Cue Project. The Company has had 
significant exploration success during the year with 
the discovery of the Starlight and White Light high-
grade gold lodes at Break of Day. 

Musgrave has an estimated 613koz of gold in 
resources on the Cue Project and completed more 
than 50,000m of drilling during the year. The total 
Indicated and Inferred JORC Mineral Resources 
on the project are: 6.45Mt @ 3.0g/t Au for 613,000 
ounces of gold (see ASX announcements 14 July 
2017, and 17 February 2020). The new Starlight and 
White Light discoveries are not included in this 
resource estimate.

exploration drilling at Cue and commencing 
feasibility studies to de-risk future development. 

Exceptional hits such as 14m @ 191.4g/t Au from 4m 
and 77m @ 13.3g/t Au from 7m down hole (see ASX 
announcement 28 July 2020, “Bonanza gold grades 
continue at Starlight with 3m @ 884.7g/t Au”) have 
highlighted the near-surface gold potential at the new 
Starlight discovery adjacent to the existing Break 
of Day lodes. The Break of Day resource, excluding 
Starlight, currently stands at 868Kt @ 7.2g/t Au 
for 199Koz gold (see ASX announcements 14 July 
2017, and 17 February 2020).  Musgrave intends to 
update the Break of Day resource estimate, including 
Starlight and White Light in late 2020.

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

Musgrave’s intent is to continue 
to grow the resource base, 
accelerate exploration and 
commence feasibility studies 
to develop a low-cost operation 
capable of returning significant 
value to shareholders.

2020 was a very successful year 
for Musgrave, with significant 
value accretion and share price 
growth achieved following 
the near surface high-grade 
Starlight gold discovery.

The Company’s near-term 
priority is expanding our gold 
resources through extensional 
and accelerated greenfield

in Legend currently valued at approximately $2 
million. 

Musgrave also holds 1,308,750 ordinary shares in 
Cyprium Metals Ltd (ASX: CYM) currently valued at 
approximately $200,000. 

During financial year 2020, Musgrave successfully 
secured an Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) 
co-funded drilling grant of $150,000 to drill test for a 
deep extension of the Starlight mineralisation.

Corporate

During the year, Musgrave spent $2.9 million on 
exploration activities. 

The Company successfully completed a capital 
raising in April 2020 to raise $6.0M (before costs) 
through a share placement to institutional and 
sophisticated investors.

During the year, 1.9 million unlisted options were 
exercised, raising $209,732. 

At 30 June 2020 the Company’s capital structure 
comprised:

• 

• 

464,742,285 fully paid ordinary shares; and

21,650,000 unlisted options at various 
exercise prices and expiry dates

In September 2019, Musgrave announced that it had 
entered into an Earn-In and Joint Venture Exploration 
Agreement with Evolution Mining Limited (ASX: 
EVN) (“Evolution”) over a select area of Lake Austin 
and surrounds (“JV Area”) on the Cue Project.  The 
JV Area excludes all the known resources including 
Lena, Break of Day/Starlight and the Mainland option 
area. Evolution can earn a 75% interest in the JV 
area by sole funding $18 million on exploration over 
a five-year term with a minimum commitment of $4 
million in the first two years. Musgrave will manage 
the JV during the initial period. 

On 1 May 2020, Musgrave entered into a joint 
venture with Cyprium Australia Pty Ltd (“Cyprium”) 
on the non-gold rights over the northern Cue tenure 
including the Hollandaire copper deposit. Cyprium 
(ASX: CYM) has earned an 80% interest in the non-
gold rights over the area with Musgrave free carried 
to a definitive feasibility study and retaining 100% 
of the gold rights. The farm-out of base metals at 
Hollandaire has allowed Musgrave to focus on its 
priority gold targets, resulting in the discovery of 
the Starlight and White Light gold lodes at Break of 
Day and delivering significant value accretion to its 
shareholders.

Musgrave will continue to maximise its exploration 
strengths and accelerate drilling across high priority 
targets at Cue with the aim of making further high-
grade gold discoveries that would add value to a 
stand-alone operation.

During the year Musgrave sold 7.5 million shares in 
Legend Mining Ltd (ASX: LEG)(“Legend”) and used 
part of the proceeds to exercise 10 million Legend, 
4 cent options which added $634,000 to its cash 
position. The Company now holds 12.5 million shares

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Response to COVID-19

Musgrave is continuing to review the ongoing 
situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and 
the implications for the health and wellbeing of 
our employees, contractors and stakeholders. The 
Company has been pro-active with respect to its 
response to COVID-19 and has developed operational 
procedures and plans in line with official health 
advice and government directives. Musgrave will

Exploration Activities

Cue Project

During the year the Company focused on exploration 
and resource growth. This culminated in the 
discovery of the new Starlight and White Light gold 
lodes at Break of Day and a significant upgrade to 
the Lena gold resource. High-grade gold was also 
intersected in reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling at the 
Mainland-Consols prospect at Cue. 

On the Evolution Joint Venture on Lake Austin, the 
Company completed a Phase 1 regional aircore 
drilling program and following an assessment of 
the positive results has subsequently commenced a 
Phase 2 follow-up program. 

“Exploration and discovery success has 

been a prime driver for growth of the 

Company in 2020”

Break of Day 

Starlight

The Company discovered the new Starlight gold lode 
at Break of Day in early 2020 and commenced a large 
RC and diamond drilling program with the aim of 
delivering an updated JORC resource estimate for 
Break of Day that will include Starlight. The drilling 
has successfully defined the Starlight lode over a 
strike length of approximately 115m with the deepest 
intersect to date at ~320 vertical metres (Figures 4 
and 5). 

A maiden resource estimate for Starlight will be 
included in a resource update for Break of Day, 
scheduled for late 2020.

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2020REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

A significant exploration program with accelerated 
drilling is planned for the coming year. The objective 
is to continue to grow the resource base and 
progress development studies to define a clear path 
to a stand-alone operation which will deliver first 
gold production for the Company. 

Lena 

At Lena, the team undertook two successful 
exploration programs and expanded the resource 
estimate to 4.3Mt @ 2.3g/t Au for 325Koz gold 
(see ASX announcement 17 February 2020, “Lena 
Resource Update”) (Table 1). 

 Since the previous Mineral Resource estimate, 
(published in July 2017) the Company has added 
172,000 ounces of gold, increasing the Mineral 
Resources at Lena by 112% and improving the 

overall grade of the deposit by 28% to 2.3g/t gold. 
The update increased the resources in the higher 
confidence Indicated category by 72%.

The updated total Indicated and Inferred Mineral 
Resources for the Cue Project, incorporating 
the Lena and Break of Day deposits and several 
smaller deposits, now stands at 6.45Mt @ 3.0g/t 
Au for 613,000 ounces of contained gold (see MGV 
ASX announcements 12 March 2020, “Half Yearly 
Accounts”). 

Drilling at Lena extends to a maximum depth of 
400m below surface where the mineralisation 
remains open down plunge. The mineralisation has 
been interpreted and estimated to a depth of 430m 
and the mineralisation remains open over much of 
the 1.5km strike length of the deposit (Figures 7 and 
8).

(See MGV ASX announcement 17 February 2020, “Lena Mineral Resource more than doubles and gold grade 
increases”).

“There is significant upside potential at Lena with high-grade gold mineralisation 

remaining open down plunge below the existing resource.”

Mainland

The Mainland Prospect area covers the northern 
extension of the shear corridor that hosts Musgrave’s 
Break of Day/Starlight and Lena gold deposits and 
the Lake Austin North gold discovery. 

An RC drilling program was completed at Mainland 
where drilling returned high-grade intercepts at the 
Consols Prospect. A high-grade shoot is defined over 
a strike extent of approximately 100m (Figure 9) (see 
MGV ASX announcements 27 November 2019, 13 
January 2020 and 16 March 2020). 

A soil geochemical survey has been completed over 
areas with no historical drilling on the northern 
part of the Mainland project area, where regolith 
interpretation suggests cover thickness is minimal. 
The area is interpreted to be the continuation of the 
Break of Day/Lena shear corridor. A number of new 
gold targets have been generated and an aircore 
drilling program is scheduled for late 2020 to test 
these new targets.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Development Options

On completion of the planned resource update at 
Break of Day, which will include the new Starlight 
and White Light gold discoveries, the Company will 
commence preparation for submittal of a Mining 
Proposal for the Cue Gold Project.  

Musgrave has commenced environmental baseline 
studies, a hydrological assessment and metallurgical 
studies in preparation for future development at Cue.  

Musgrave will continue to maximise its exploration 
strengths and accelerate drilling across high priority 
gold targets at Cue with the aim of expanding the 
current resources and making further high-grade 
gold discoveries that would enhance a stand-alone 
operation. 

Regional (100% MGV)

Musgrave has identified 18 regional gold targets 
derived through a combination of geophysical data, 
geochemistry, broad spaced historical regional 
drilling, structural analysis and regional geology 
that show an analogous setting to Starlight (Figure 
10). Systematic first phase, near-surface drill testing 
of these new targets has commenced. Anomalous 
results will be prioritised and followed up with more 
detailed and deeper drilling.

“The identification of the new high-

grade Starlight lode has highlighted 

the potential upside of the belt and 

the opportunity for Musgrave to make 

further near surface discoveries and 

grow the existing resource base.”

Evolution JV – Lake Austin

The Lake Austin area, part of the Evolution Earn-in 
and Exploration Joint Venture executed in September 
2019, is highly prospective for gold and significantly 
underexplored. 

Evolution has committed to a minimum exploration 
spend of $4 million over the first two years and can 
earn a 75% interest in the JV area by sole funding $18 
million in exploration within five years. If Evolution 
does not spend the entire $18 million within five 
years, Musgrave will retain 100% ownership (see 
MGV ASX announcement dated 17 September 2019).

Musgrave is managing the exploration in the first 
two years. The existing gold resources including Lena 
and Break of Day/Starlight and the Mainland option 
area, are excluded from the Evolution Agreement 
(Figures 11).

A large regional aircore Phase 1 drilling program 
was completed over Lake Austin in May 2020, with 
249 holes drilled for 22,879m. The program was 
successful in identifying multiple high-priority 
basement gold targets for follow-up drill testing 
(Figure 11). 

Significant intercepts from the Phase 1 program 
include:

o 

o 

6m @ 4.2g/t Au from 116m (20MOAC031)

9m @ 2.25g/t Au from 136m to EOH 
(20MOAC041) 

(see MGV ASX announcement dated 5 June 2020, 
“Scout drilling defines large gold targets at Cue 
Evolution JV”).

The Phase 2, 21,900m, aircore drill program to follow-
up these targets on Lake Austin has commenced.

Group during the financial year were as follows:

Exploration continued 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. Moving forward, the Company

expects to commence feasibility studies and define a 
clear path to development.

In 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) on 
the Cue Project. The JV Area excludes all the known 
resources including Lena and Break of Day, Starlight 
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.

On 4 May 2020, the Company completed a placement 
to corporate, institutional, professional and 
sophisticated investors of 57.1 million ordinary shares 
at an issue price of 10.5 cents per share raising

$6,000,000 before costs.

0n 1 May 2020, the Company executed a Joint 
venture with Cyprium Australia Pty Ltd (“Cyprium”) 
regarding the non-gold rights over the northern 
tenements at the Cue Project in Western Australia’s 
Murchison region. Cyprium has earned an 80% 
interest in the non-gold rights. Musgrave retains 
a 20% free-carried interest to the completion of a 
definitive feasibility study on the non-gold rights and 
100% of the gold rights.

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

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 
is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted 
the entity up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to 
estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, 
after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly 
developing and is dependent on measures imposed 
by the Australian Government and other countries, 
such as maintaining social distancing requirements, 
quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic

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 year 
ended 30 June 2020.

• 

• 

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.

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.

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;

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, 

PAGE 20

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

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 2019 Annual General Meeting

Musgrave Minerals Limited received more than 98% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 
2019 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the Annual General Meeting or 
throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

Details of share-based compensation and bonuses

Options

Options over ordinary shares in Musgrave Minerals Limited are granted under the Employee Share Option 
Plan (“ESOP”). Participation in the ESOP and any vesting criteria are at the Board’s discretion and no 
individual has a contractual right to participate in the scheme or to receive any guaranteed benefits. Any 
options issued to Directors of the Company are subject to shareholder approval. The 3,000,000 options 
issued to Mr Waugh in the 2020 financial year were approved by shareholders at the 2019 Annual General 
Meeting.

The terms and conditions of each grant of options during the period affecting remuneration in the current

The fair value of options at grant date are independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

1 

CORPORATE INFORMATION

The consolidated financial report of Musgrave Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 was 
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 24 September 2020.

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 standard and interpretation relevant to the operations of the Group and effective from 1 July 
2019 have been adopted.

• 

• 

AASB 16 Leases; and

AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments.

The impact of the adoption of this standard and interpretation are as outlined below.

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 Leases requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model in a 
similar way to finance leases under AASB 117 Leases. The standard includes two recognition exemptions 
for lessees i.e. leases of ’low-value’ assets and short-term leases (i.e. leases with a lease term of 12 months 
or less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments 
(i.e. the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term 
(i.e. the right-of-use asset or ROU asset).

Lessees will separately recognise the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense 
on the right-of-use asset.

Lessees remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g. a change in the lease term, 
a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those 
payments). The lessee will generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an 
adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

AASB 16 became effective for the Company for the accounting period beginning 1 July 2019. The Company 
has chosen the modified retrospective approach to the application of AASB 16 and has consequently not 
restated the comparative information.

The Company leases its corporate office, its core yard and IT equipment and these have been recognised 
as right-of-use-assets with a corresponding lease liability. For leases of ‘low-value’ assets and short-term 
leases the Company has opted to recognise the lease expense on a straight-line basis as incurred.

Impact of adoption of AASB 16 Leases

As at 1 July 2019 the Company recognised right-of-use assets with a net book value of $198,620 and 
corresponding lease liabilities of $198,620. After accounting for new leases taken out during the reporting 
period, depreciation and lease principal payments the balances as at 30 June 2020 were right-of-use assets 
with a net book value of $266,745 and lease liabilities of $280,622.

AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

This Interpretation clarifies the application of the recognition and measurement criteria in AASB 112 
Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation addresses (a) 
whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately; (b) the assumptions an entity makes 
about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities; (c) how an entity determines taxable profit 
(tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates; and (d) how an entity considers 
changes in facts and circumstances.

The adoption of this Interpretation has had no impact on the current or previous year and as such there 
have been no adjustments to the opening balance of accumulated losses.

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 2018-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition 
of a Business

The Standard amends the definition of a business in AASB 3 Business 
Combinations. The amendments clarify the minimum requirements for a 
business, remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable 
of replacing missing elements, add guidance to help entities assess whether 
an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business and 
of outputs, and introduce an optional fair value concentration test.

AASB 1018-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition 
of Material

1 Jan 2020

1 Jul 2020

This Standard amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements 
and AAS 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and 
Errors to align the definition of ‘material’ across the standards and to clarify 
certain aspects of the definition. The amendments clarify that materiality will 
depend on the nature or magnitude of information. An entity will need to 
assess whether the information, either individually or in combination with 
other information, is material in the context of the financial statements. A 
misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to 
influence decisions made by the primary users.

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 2020 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.

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 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 as incurred over the period of the 
lease.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the 
Group as lessee are classified as finance leases. At the commencement date of a lease, the Group 
recognises a liability to make lease payments (i.e. the lease liability) and an asset representing 
the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e. the right-of-use asset). The Group 
separately recognises the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the 
right-of-use asset.

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.

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 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.

Deferred income tax

Recognised on the Statement of Financial Position, deferred income 
tax at the end of the reporting period relates to the following: (2020: 
27.5%, 2019: 27.5%)

Deferred income tax liabilities:

–  Capitalised expenditure deductible for tax purposes

–  Trade and other receivables

–  Derivative financial instruments

–  Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive 
income

Deferred income tax assets:

–  Trade and other payables

–  Employee benefits

–  Capital raising costs

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 $33,571,476 (2019: $30,775,748).

Musgrave Minerals Limited is considered a base rate entity for income tax purposes and is therefore 
subject to income tax at a rate of 27.5% (2019: 27.5%).

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.

In February 2017, the Company entered into a Tenement Sale Agreement with Legend Mining Limited 
(Legend) in respect of the Group’s non–core tenements in the Fraser Range area of Western Australia. 
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company transferred to Legend 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 and 10,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.04 exercisable by 30 March 2021.

In April 2020, the Company sold 7,500,000 of the shares it held in Legend and exercised all of the 
10,000,000 unlisted options in Legend at $0.04 per share.

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.

(i) 

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.

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.

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the 
financial year and which are unpaid. Trade creditors are unsecured, non–interest bearing and are normally 
settled on 30–day terms. The Group’s financial risk management objectives and policies are set out in Note 
22. Due to the short–term nature of these payables their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair

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 by proxy, at a meeting of the 
Company.

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Group, excluding 
any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during 
the year and excluding treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to 
take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive 
potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have 
been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

 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 hosting gold resources at Cue including the Break of 
Day/Starlight 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/Starlight 
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 was paid in August 2020 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 
non–alluvial gold produced by the Company from the tenements.

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

Cyprium Australia Pty Ltd (“Cyprium”) has earned an 80% interest in the non–gold rights over the northern 
tenements (“Tenements”) of the Company’s Cue Project. Musgrave retains 20% of the non–gold rights 
and is free carried to the completion of a definitive feasibility study and retains 100% of the gold rights. 
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 2020.

20  EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID–19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted 
the entity up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, 
after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by 
the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, 
quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

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 $1,009,380 (2019: $992,300) per annum. Of this 
amount $829,680 will be met by the Group’s joint venture partners as part of their earn–in obligations.

22  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Financial risk management

Overview

The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Interest rate risk

Credit risk

Foreign currency risk

Commodity risk

Liquidity risk

•  Market risk

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, 
policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. The Board of 
Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.

Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set 
appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management 
policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s 
activities.

The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management 
policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the 
risks faced by the Group.

The Group’s principal financial instruments are tabled below.

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.

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; 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 2020 and 30 June 2019:

Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going 
concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an 
optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The management of the Group’s capital is performed 
by the Board.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt (trade and other payables, provisions and lease 
liabilities detailed in Notes 11, 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).

Employee Share Option Plan

The Group has an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) for executives and employees of the Group. In 
accordance with the provisions of the ESOP, as approved by shareholders at a previous Annual General 
Meeting, executives and employees may be granted options at the discretion of the Directors.

Each share option converts into one ordinary share of Musgrave Minerals Limited on exercise. No amounts 
are paid or are payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights of 
dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of 
their expiry.

Options issued to Directors are subject to approval by shareholders.

The following share–based payment arrangements were in existence during the reporting period:

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 $136,072 of which $61,110 relate to key management personnel 
(2019: $533,673 and $328,803 respectively).

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 subsidiaries
(the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, 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 2020 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion

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

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

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

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.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275,

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2020                           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:

•

•

•

•

•

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;

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.

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 2020, 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.

PAGE 55                                                                                                                                     

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2020                            INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

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:

https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 14 to 18 of the directors’ report for the

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Musgrave Minerals Limited, for the year ended 30 June
2020, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Responsibilities

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with
Australian Auditing Standards.
