MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2021CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to 
present the 2021 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 continues to deliver new discoveries and the 
outstanding success of our exploration programs at Cue 
have been transformational for Musgrave.

Building on the discovery of the high-grade Starlight and 
White Light gold lodes at Break of Day in 2020, the team 
implemented a regional exploration program to search 
for further gold positions at Cue and were successful in 
identifying several promising targets that have delivered 
significant gold intersections to date. White Heat, Big 
Sky and Target 14 are examples of this success. It is still 
early days but the results are exciting. The extensive 
and broad gold intersections that we have intersected in 
shallow drilling at Big Sky and Target 14 have defined a 
new gold corridor with over 7km of strike. This area will 
be a focus of the Company’s exploration efforts in the 
coming months with the objective of identifying new 
resources to grow the already significant resource base 
that we have at Break of Day and Lena.

During the year, Musgrave completed a mineral resource 
update for Break of Day that includes the new Starlight 
and White Light gold lodes. Break of Day is now 
estimated to host approximately 797kt grading 10.2g/t 
gold for ~262,000 ounces of gold. We believe this is 
one of the highest grade, undeveloped, near-surface 
gold resources in Australia. When combined with the 
Lena deposit, located only 130m to the west, Inferred 
and Indicated Resources total 5.1Mt @ 3.6g/t gold for 
~587,000 ounces of contained gold, a significant portion 
of which will be amenable to open pit mining. This will 
form the basis for development studies that are currently 
underway and the pathway to production.

In addition, a substantial drilling program on Lake Austin 
is continuing under our Joint Venture with Evolution 
Mining Ltd. The initial large-scale aircore drilling 
completed on the Lake in 2020 and early 2021, identified 
several extensive, high tenor, regolith gold targets that 
are now being tested as part of the on-going diamond 
drilling program. Basement drilling at the West Island 
prospect has returned significant intersections and 
further follow-up is underway.

The Company continually reviews the ongoing situation 
relating to COVID-19 and the implications for the health 
and wellbeing of our employees, contractors and 

PAGE 2                                                                                                                                     

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 and while there have been delays in assay 
turn-around times there have not been significant 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 Cue Project and growing the Company by identifying 
and testing new targets, increasing our resources and 
progressing towards development, through high-quality 
exploration and technical studies for the benefit of all 
Musgrave shareholders.

Graham Ascough

Chairman   

Regional drilling - Cue Project

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2021REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Musgrave Minerals Ltd (“Musgrave” or “the Company”) 
(ASX: MGV) is an Australian resources company focused 
within 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.

Musgrave has an estimated 659Koz of gold in resources 
within the Cue Project and completed more than 
90,000m of drilling during the year. The total Indicated 
and Inferred JORC Mineral Resources on the project 
are 6.4Mt @ 3.2g/t Au for 659Koz of gold (see MGV ASX 
announcement 11 November 2020, “Break of Day High-
Grade Mineral Resource Estimate”). The Break of Day 
Mineral Resource has increased to 797kt @ 10.2g/t Au 
for 262Koz contained gold.

The new Big Sky and White Heat gold discoveries are 
not included in the current resource estimate. 

The Company’s focus continues to be on the Cue 
Project (“Cue”) which is located in the well-endowed, 
gold producing Murchison region of Western Australia. 
Musgrave’s intent is to continue to grow the resource 
base, accelerate exploration and continue prefeasibility 

level studies at the Break of Day and Lena deposits 
to define a low-cost operation that returns value to 
shareholders.

FY21 was a successful year for Musgrave following 
the high-grade Starlight gold discovery at Break of Day 
and subsequent resource update in November 2020. 
A capital raising and the implementation of significant 
exploration programs have led to further gold discoveries 
at White Heat, Target 14 and Big Sky, enhancing the 
potential to grow the existing resource base.

After the discovery of the Starlight deposit at Break of 
Day in 2020, the Company applied the knowledge and 
experience gained back into regional target selection 
and followed this up with a strong focus on exploration 
drilling to grow the resource base at Cue. 

The exploration drilling program has been very 
successful and has identified high-grade gold 
mineralisation at the White Heat Prospect and thick, near-
surface modest grade mineralisation over a 2.6km strike 
extent at Big Sky.

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

“Musgrave will maximise its exploration expertise to drive discovery success and resource 

growth to progress the Company towards its development goals”

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2021REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Corporate

During the year, Musgrave spent $6.9M on exploration 
activities. 

Musgrave successfully completed a capital raising 
in December 2020 to raise $16.0M (before costs) 
through a share placement to institutional, corporate, 
and sophisticated investors. Musgrave also completed 
a Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) that raised $3.523M 
(before costs) and closed in January 2021. Musgrave’s 
cash position at 30 June 2021 was $20.9M.

There have been a number of changes to the Company’s 
unlisted options with some expiring and some being 
exercised. During the year, 14.2 million unlisted options 
were exercised, raising $1.65 million. 

At 30 June 2021 the Company’s capital structure 
comprised:

• 

• 

533,222,949 fully paid ordinary shares; and

16,080,000 unlisted options at various exercise 
prices and expiry dates

During the first quarter of 2021, Mr Brett Lambert 
was appointed as a Non-executive Director. Mr 
Lambert brings extensive skills and expertise across 
project development and mining which will be of 
significant benefit as the Company progresses through 
development studies to mining.

Musgrave will progress the Cue Gold Project in two 
strategic directions, exploration discovery and resource 
growth, and development studies to maximise the 
value of the resources. The Company will 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. Development 
studies are currently focused on long lead-time items 
required to advance development of the existing 
resources.

The Company holds 12.5 million shares in Legend 
Mining Ltd (ASX: LEG) currently valued at approximately 
$0.9M. Musgrave also holds 1,308,750 ordinary shares 
in Cyprium Metals Ltd (ASX: CYM) currently valued at 
approximately $250,000. 

During financial year 2021, Musgrave successfully 
secured an Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) 
co-funded drilling grant of up to $150,000 to drill test 
regional targets at Cue that aided in the discovery of the 
White Heat and Big Sky gold systems.

Response to COVID-19

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is 
ongoing and while it has not significantly impacted the 
Company to date, it is not practicable to estimate the 
potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting 
date. The situation continues to evolve and future 
scenarios are dependent on measures imposed by the 
State and Federal governments. The Company will work 
towards maintaining its operations and developing its 
projects while aiming to keep its employees, contractors 
and the communities in which we operate safe.

The Company has operational procedures and guidelines 
in place that are in-line with official health advice 
and government directives. Musgrave will continue 
to operate within these guidelines and will adapt its 
procedures as required. COVID-19 has created some 
bottlenecks in the industry with regard to assay turn-
around, supply and resourcing. The Company remains 
an active explorer and will continue to advance the Cue 
Gold Project.

Exploration Activities

Cue Project

During the year the Company focused on exploration 
and resource growth at the Cue Gold Project 
while progressing long lead-time items to advance 
development studies at Break of Day and Lena. This 
culminated in the discovery of the new Starlight and 
White Light gold lodes at Break of Day in 2020, which 
led to a resource update at Break of Day in November 
2020.  

The Company has had continued exploration success 
with the recent discoveries of the White Heat, Target 14 
and Big Sky gold systems to the south of Break of Day. 

Musgrave has an estimated 659Koz of gold in resources 
at the Cue Project and completed more than 90,000m 
of drilling during the year. The total Indicated and 
Inferred JORC Mineral Resources on the project are 
6.4Mt @ 3.2g/t Au for 659Koz of gold (see MGV ASX 
announcement 11 November 2020, “Break of Day High-
Grade Mineral Resource Estimate”).

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2021REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

On the Evolution Joint Venture on Lake Austin, the 
Company completed over 26,000m of regional aircore 
drilling and over 2,700m of follow-up diamond drilling. 
Evolution has committed to a further $5M in exploration 
on the joint venture in FY22. As part of this commitment 
a further program of 17,000m of aircore drilling and 
7,000m of follow-up diamond drilling has commenced. 

Break of Day Deposit

Following the Starlight and White Light discoveries in 
2020, the Break of Day Mineral Resource has increased 
to 797kt @ 10.2g/t Au for 262Koz contained gold. The 
recent update from the previous July 2017 Mineral 
Resource delivered a:

• 

• 

31% increase in total contained ounces;

58% increase in Indicated Resources to 175,900 
ounces of gold; and

• 

42% increase in gold grade to 10.2g/t Au.

The new Big Sky and White Heat gold discoveries are 
not included in this resource estimate.

Some of the key attributes of the Starlight and White 
Light resources (360kt @ 13.9g/t gold for  161Koz of 
contained gold), (see MGV ASX announcement 11 
November 2020, “Break of Day High-Grade Mineral 

Resource Estimate”) are the very high-grade and near-
surface nature (only 2-4m of cover) of the gold system, 
the concentration of 85% of the resource into five main 
lodes and the proximity to infrastructure. The Break of 
Day mineralisation remains open in several parts of the 
deposit including down dip.

A significant infill resource definition program is planned 
in FY22 at Lena and Break of Day to convert Inferred 
resources to the higher confidence Indicated category to 
align with the advancement of development studies.

Lena Deposit

The Lena deposit has a Mineral Resource estimate 
of 4.3Mt @ 2.3g/t Au for 325Koz gold (see ASX 
announcement 17 February 2020, “Lena Resource 
Update”). 

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 remains open 
over much of the 1.5km strike length of the deposit.

A significant infill resource definition program is planned 
in FY22 at Lena and Break of Day to convert Inferred 
resources to the higher confidence Indicated category to 
align with the advancement of development studies.

“The Starlight deposit is an exceptional near-surface high-grade gold discovery with the 

potential to return high margins.”

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2021REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Regional Exploration

Following the discovery of the Starlight deposit at 
Break of Day, the Company applied the knowledge and 
experience gained back into regional target selection, 
and followed this up with a strong focus on exploration 
with the aim of growing the resource base at Cue. 
During the year Musgrave completed 90,000m of 
resource and exploration drilling, including approximately 
30,000m on the Evolution Joint venture.

The exploration drilling program has been very 
successful in identifying high-grade gold mineralisation at 
the White Heat and Target 14 prospects and thick, near-
surface modest grade mineralisation over a 2.6km strike 
extent at Big Sky.

White Heat Prospect

White Heat is 300m south of Break of Day (Figures 3 
and 6), has a strike extent of approximately 70m and is 
open down plunge. Significant intersections at White 
Heat, include:

• 

• 

• 

• 

11m @ 19.6g/t Au from 48m (21MORC039)

1.2m @ 303.2g/t Au from 74.6m and 8.4m @ 6.8g/t 
Au from 27.3m (21MODD018) including:

o 

1.2m @ 37.2 g/t Au from 27.3m 

6.8m @ 17.8g/t Au from 47m (21MODD019) in the 
hanging wall lode including:

o 

0.7m @ 112.9g/t Au from 48.1m; and

o 

1.2m @ 303.2g/t Au from 74.6m

(see MGV ASX announcements dated 19 
March 2021 and  16 August 2021).

It is envisaged that White Heat could be 
a satellite pit to a larger development 
at Break of Day and Lena. Drilling at 
White Heat is continuing with the aim of 
defining a maiden resource in Q2 2022. 

Big Sky Prospect

A focus on exploration drilling (aircore, RC 
and diamond) and resource growth has 
led to the discovery of extensive regolith 
gold mineralisation over a continuous 
2.6km long trend, 2km south-west of 
Break of Day, referred to as Big Sky 
(Figure 3). The mineralisation is part of a 
7km-long gold corridor with near-surface 
mineralisation identified over thick 
intervals below a thin veneer (1-10m) of 
transported hardpan cover (Figures 6 & 
7). Infill resource definition RC drilling has 
commenced to test the continuity, grade

It is envisaged that Big Sky could be a significant feed 
source to a development centred at Break of Day and 
Lena. Drilling at Big Sky is continuing with the aim of 
defining a maiden resource in Q2 2022. 

Target 14 Prospect

Target 14, approximately 1km west of Lena and 800m 
north of Big Sky is defined by anomalous gold in the 
regolith over a strike length of more than 3km (Figure 
3). A higher-grade zone has been defined by RC drilling, 
extending for more than 500m. Target 14 is part of the 
new 7km-long gold corridor that includes Big Sky. RC 
drilling results comprise a combination of 6m composite 
and 1m individual assays.

Numbers Deposit

The Numbers prospect, approximately 3.5km south 
of Break of Day (Figure 3), has an Inferred Resource 
of 278,000t @ 2.46g/t Au for 22Koz of gold (see MGV 
ASX release 16 October 2020, “Annual Report to 
Shareholders”). It is envisaged that Numbers could be a 
satellite pit to a larger development at Break of Day and 
Lena.

An RC drill program focused on upgrading the resource 
estimate to the higher confidence Indicated category is 
ongoing. RC, resource definition drill holes are spaced 
on an approximate 20m x 20m grid. The majority of drill 
holes intersected mineralisation consistent with the 
existing model.  Preliminary metallurgical test work is 
planned before a resource update in Q2 2022.

A significant exploration program across multiple 
prospects and targets 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.

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2021 
 
 
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

“As the team continues to build its knowledge and understanding of the controls on 

mineralisation in the region, we strongly believe exploration success will continue to 

deliver new discoveries like the high-grade Starlight lode. This will in turn grow the 

existing resource base and enhance the economics of any potential future development.”

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. 

A number of new gold targets have been generated and a 
follow-up drilling program is currently being scheduled for 
early 2022.

Development Studies

The Company has commenced prefeasibility level 
studies on a number of key elements for any potential 
future development at Break of Day and Lena. This 
work comprises environmental assessment, including 
collection of baseline flora and fauna data, heritage 
assessments, hydrology and surface water management, 
metallurgy, waste rock and tailings geochemistry 
and storage, geotechnical and structural analysis and 
preliminary pit and underground mine, processing plant 
and infrastructure design. All new resource discoveries 
will require this level of assessment.

Due to the ASX constraints on publication of economic 
data relating to Inferred Resources and incomplete 
assessments and the continued exploration success and 
its effect on design parameters,  the Company has not 
yet set a date for the delivery of a preliminary economic 
assessment of the project.

In conjunction with these studies 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. 

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

Musgrave is managing the exploration during the initial 
period with strong technical input from Evolution. The 
existing gold resources, including Lena and Break of Day/
Starlight and the Mainland option area, are excluded from 
the Evolution Agreement (Figure 9).

A 26,000 aircore drilling program and a seven drill hole, 
2,720m diamond drilling program were completed 
on Lake Austin to follow-up the extensive, high-tenor, 
regolith gold anomalies at the West Island and Lake 
Austin North prospects. Four diamond holes were drilled 
at West Island over a strike length of 400m with all 
returning significant gold intercepts:

• 

• 

• 

• 

11.5m @ 3.2g/t Au from 245m (21MODD006), 
including;

o 

3.0m @ 10.6g/t Au from 247.5m

11.0m @ 3.6g/t Au from 272m (21MODD001), 
including;

o 

5.0m @ 5.5g/t Au from 276m 

5.0m @ 2.7g/t Au from 169m (21MODD002)

0.4m @ 23.5g/t Au from 144.7m (21MODD007)

(see MGV ASX announcement dated 30 June 2021).

Subsequent to 30 June 2021, Evolution committed to 
a further $5M in exploration for FY22 including a Phase 
2, 17,000m follow-up aircore drill program and a 7,000m 
follow-up diamond drilling program. Both these programs 
have commenced and are ongoing.

(1) 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 retaining 20% and is free carried to a definitive feasibility 
study. Musgrave also retains 100% of the rights to any gold dominant mineralisation. 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.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

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

PAGE 16                                                                                                                                     

Exploration has continued to be a major focus for the 
Company with continued exploration at Cue and more 
than 90,000 metres were drilled during the year.

The Company also announced, in November 2020, an 
increase to the Break of Day Mineral Resource to 797kt 
@ 10.2g/t Au for 262koz contained gold (see MGV ASX 
announcement 11 November 2020, “Break of Day High-
Grade Mineral Resource Estimate”). The total Indicated 
and Inferred JORC Mineral Resources on the project are 
now 6.4 Mt @ 3.2g/t Au for 659,000 ounces of gold.

On 18 December 2020, the Company completed a 
placement (“Placement”) to corporate, institutional, 
professional and sophisticated investors of 44.4 million 
ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.36 cents per 
share raising $16 million before costs.

Aligned with the Placement the Company also 
completed a Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) in January 
2021 at an issue price of $0.36 per share. The SPP 
was heavily supported and exceeded the target 
raising of $2 million. Given the strong support shown 
by Shareholders, the Board decided to exercise its 
discretion under the terms of the SPP to increase the 
size of the SPP to $3.5 million with the issue of 9.8 
million ordinary shares.

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 2021, it is not practicable to 
estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after 
the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and 
is dependent on measures imposed by the State and 
Federal Governments, such as vaccinations, maintaining 
social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel 
restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be 
provided.

There has not arisen in the interval between the end of 
the financial year and the date of this report any item, 
transaction or event of a material and unusual nature 
likely, in the opinion of the Directors, to significantly 
affect 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.

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 

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2021 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
DIRECTORS’ REPORT

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 2021.

c) 

Executive remuneration policy and framework

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

• 

• 

• 

• 

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

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

transparent and easily understood; and

acceptable to shareholders.

All executives receive consulting fees or a salary, 
part of which may be taken as superannuation. 
Executives may also participate in both long 
and short-term incentive schemes. Long-term 
incentives consist of options which may be offered 
to executives at the discretion of the Board and 
with shareholder approval from time to time. The 
Company’s Short-Term Incentive Plan is based 
on key performance criteria including discovery, 
resource growth, production and share price 
performance and is contingent on satisfactory 
work health and safety targets. 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 

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 $400,000 as approved 
by Shareholders at the Company’s 2020 Annual 
General Meeting held on 19 November 2020. 

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 

2020 Annual General Meeting

Musgrave Minerals Limited received more than 
94% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report 
for the 2020 financial year. The Company did not 
receive any specific feedback at the Annual General 
Meeting or throughout the year on its remuneration 
practices.

The Company has a Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”) comprising four elements namely, a Discovery Bonus, a 
Production Bonus, a Share Price Performance Bonus and a Resources Growth Bonus. A bonus payment under 
the STIP may be up to 25% of base salary subject to meeting the relevant criteria, a minimum standard of 
performance and meeting the Company’s work place health and safety targets. Eligibility, timing and the amount 
of any payment is at the absolute discretion of the Board. Only one bonus is payable in any twelve month period.

Discovery Bonus: A discovery being defined as two drill holes spaced a minimum of 75m apart with ore-grade 
mineralisation over potentially mineable widths with a deposit showing the likelihood to host more than 100koz 
Au. This must be a new discovery and have the potential to make a material impact for the Company. The Board 
has absolute discretion as to what constitutes a discovery.

Production Bonus: Production being defined as the commencement of production from the Company’s 
tenement/s and the receipt of payment from the sale of first product. The Board has absolute discretion as to 
what constitutes production.

Share Price Performance Bonus: Defined as at least a 100% increase in the Company’s share price based on 
the 12 month volume weighted share price (“VWAP”) as at 30 June as compared to the 12 month VWAP of the 
previous 30 June.

Resource Growth Bonus: Defined as increasing the existing gold ounces in JORC compliant Mineral Resources at 
the Cue Project to over 1M oz (combined Indicated & Inferred) at a minimum grade cut-off of 0.5g/t Au.

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 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 financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiary at 30 June 2021 
and the results of its subsidiary for the year then ended. The Company and its subsidiary together are 
referred to in this financial report as the Group or the Consolidated Entity.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group 
controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its investment with 
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de 
consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment 
of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure 
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE (continued)

c) 

Principles of consolidation continued

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Statement 
of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position and the 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 financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation 
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.

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 $42,096,419 (2020: $33,576,879).

Musgrave Minerals Limited is considered a base rate entity for income tax purposes and is therefore subject to 
income tax at a rate of 26% (2020: 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.

The weighted average interest rate for the year was 0.38% (2020: 1.21%).

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is set out in Note 22. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of 
the reporting period is the carrying amount of each class of cash and cash equivalents mentioned above.

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: Financial Instruments 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 (continued)

b) 

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (continued)

In February 2017, the Company entered into a Tenement Sale Agreement with Legend Mining Limited 
(ASX:LEG) (“Legend”) in respect of the Group’s non-core tenements (E28/2404 and E28/2405) in the Fraser 
Range area of Western Australia. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company transferred 100% of 
its interests in the two tenements to Legend and as consideration 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. The Company retains 12,500,000 Legend shares acquired due 
to the transaction.

In February 2019, Musgrave entered into an agreement with Cyprium Metals Limited (ASX:CYM) 
(“Cyprium”) regarding an option to earn-in and joint venture on the non-gold rights over the northern Cue 
tenure including the Hollandaire copper deposit. As part of the farm-out the Company received 1,308,750 
shares in Cyprium which the Company still holds.

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 timeframe 
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 FVOCI

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.

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.

10  EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION (continued)

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.

as payables.

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

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.

17  EARNINGS PER SHARE (continued)

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.

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 rights to gold dominant deposits. 
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 2021.

 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 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the 
reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the 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 $1,063,380 (2020: $1,009,380) per annum. Of this amount $928,180 will be met by the 
Group’s joint venture partners as part of their earn-in obligations. 

22  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument 
will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in interest bearing 
financial assets and liabilities that the Group uses.

Interest bearing assets comprise cash and cash equivalents which are considered to be short-term liquid assets. 
It is the Group’s policy to settle trade payables within the credit terms allowed and therefore not incur interest on 
overdue balances.

The following table set out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the financial instruments that are exposed to 
interest rate risk:

22  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)

Sensitivity analysis for interest rate exposure

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased / (decreased) equity and 
profit or loss by the amounts shown below:

(43,629)

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.

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 are the

Market risk

Price risk 

The Group’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Group and classified in 
the Statement of Financial Position as financial assets at FVOCI.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities of the 
Group is equal to their carrying value.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the 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 2021 and 30 June 2020:

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).

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

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:

Fair value of share options granted during the year

The fair value of share options at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes 
into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility 
of the underlying share and the risk-free rate for the term of the option. The fair value of share options issued 
during the year was $2,035,342 of which $1,340,200 relate to key management personnel (2020: $136,072 and 
$61,110 respectively).

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

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under

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

for our opinion.

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2021INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Key audit matters

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

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.

PAGE 53                                                                                                                                     

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2021INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Accounting for share-based payments

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As disclosed in Note 23 to the Financial Report,
during the financial year ended 30 June 2021, the
Group agreed to issue options to key management
personnel, employees and consultants, which
have been accounted for as share-based
payments as disclosed in Note 23 of the Financial
Report.

Refer to Note 23 of the Financial Report for a
description of the accounting policy and
significant estimates and judgements applied to
these arrangements.

Share-based payments are a complex accounting
area and due to the complex and judgemental
estimates used in determining the fair value of
the share-based payments, we consider the
accounting for share-based payments to be a key
audit matter.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to
the following:

•

•

•

•

•

•

Reviewing the relevant agreements to obtain
an understanding of the contractual nature
and terms and conditions of the share-based
payment arrangements;

Holding discussions with management to
understand the share-based payment
transactions in place;

Reviewing management’s determination of
the fair value of the share-based payments
granted, considering the appropriateness of
the valuation methodology used;

Testing key fair value inputs, using internal
specialists where required;

Assessing the allocation of the share-based
payment expense over the relevant vesting
period; and

Assessing the adequacy of the related
disclosures in Note 23 to the Financial
Report.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information contained in directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the
financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s
report, and the annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

PAGE 54                                                                                                                                     

MUSGRAVE  MINERALS LTD  ANNUAL REPORT  2021INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above 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 on the other information that we obtained prior to the date
of this auditor’s report, 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.

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not
corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom
our report is prepared.

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.
