CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder 

Gold  exploration  has  been  transformed  this  year  with  the  Company’s  strategic  partnership  with  Mawson  Gold  Limited 
(“Mawson”).  The North East Link Project (NELP) tender closed in May this year, with Nagambie asked to provide pricing 
for “Underwater Storage” PASS Management at the Nagambie Mine. 

Strategic Partnership with Mawson 

Following extensive negotiations, a game-changing strategic partnership with Mawson, a successful Canadian international 
gold  exploration  company,  was  signed  in  March  this  year.    Mawson  became  a  cornerstone  investor  in  Nagambie  by 
acquiring a 10.0% shareholding (50.0M shares) in return for 8.5M Mawson shares, purchased the Clonbinane Project from 
Nagambie for $0.528M and 1.0M Mawson shares, and entered into the Redcastle & Doctors Gully option / joint venture 
(JV) agreements on terms favourable to Nagambie. 

The impact on Nagambie’s balance sheet has been very significant.  Total Net Assets at 30 June increased by $3.9M to 
$12.7M, year on year, a 45% increase.  Importantly, total Net Current Assets increased by $2.5M to $1.4M, having been 
negative $1.1M a year before.  Finally, Nagambie’s 9.5M Mawson shares at 30 June had a market value of approximately 
A$4.0M.  

As recently announced, the Doctors Gully JV is now to be expanded from 4 sq km to 199 sq km with improved terms and 
become the Whroo JV, subject to Nagambie shareholders approving the JV at this year’s AGM.  The JV terms are set out 
in the AGM Notice of Meeting and I strongly encourage shareholders to vote in favour of the Whroo JV resolution.   

For the Redcastle and Whroo JVs combined, spending by Mawson could reach $5.25M (JV expenditure and cash payments 
to Nagambie) before Nagambie needs to contribute to further JV expenditure.  Mawson retains its right of first refusal to 
take  up  or  match  all  proposals  under  consideration  by  Nagambie  on  its  remaining  3,400  sq  km  of  Waranga  Domain 
tenements provided that Mawson continues to hold its original 50.0 million Nagambie shares.  Mawson also has the right 
to  appoint a director  to  the  Nagambie  board  provided it increases its’ holding  above, and  maintains  it  above, 15.0% of 
Nagambie.  

Nagambie has been limited, for funding reasons, to utilizing only one diamond drilling rig in its 100%-owned tenements 
between  the  Nagambie  Mine  and  Wandean  in  recent  years.    Mawson  has  recently  been  using  one  or  two  additional 
diamond drilling rigs at Nagambie’s Redcastle property, where Nagambie can ultimately retain a 30% interest.  Mawson 
will probably commence drilling in early 2021 at Nagambie’s Whroo property, where Nagambie can ultimately retain a 40% 
or a 30% interest.  The use of multiple drilling rigs instead of one on Nagambie’s tenements greatly improves the chances 
of exploration success for shareholders. 

At  Redcastle,  Mawson  is  well  advanced  on  a  series  of  geophysical  surveys  including  aerial  LiDAR,  gradient  Induced 
Polarisation (IP), dipole-dipole IP, ground magnetics and ground gravity.  Mawson are proposing to carry out the same 
suite of surveys at Whroo.  Nagambie has shown at the Nagambie Mine that dipole-dipole IP can outline sulphide-gold 
targets in the Waranga Domain but complementary, supportive geophysical techniques could be established by Mawson 
that would be applicable throughout Nagambie’s exploration tenements.       

Covid-19 Impacts 

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected activities during CY 2020.  Local demand for Nagambie quarry products was well 
down on anticipated levels as business developments in the Nagambie region were put on hold.  Diamond drilling of the 
RAD002  hole  at  the  Racecourse  Prospect  was  delayed  by  a  total  of  eight  weeks  because  the  drilling  contractor  had 
manning issues resulting from the strict virus testing protocols required and the closure of the border with Tasmania, the 
home state for several of its employees.  A follow up IP geophysical survey at Racecourse West had to be deferred as the 
preferred IP contractor, Zonge, is based in Adelaide and the South Australian border has been closed to Victoria.    

Normal Victorian Government business has also been delayed by Covid-19.  The State budget is normally delivered in May 
but the 2020/21 budget is now expected to be delivered in November.  An important component of the budget will be NELP, 
the biggest-ever infrastructure project in Victoria.  Tenders closed as scheduled in May for the construction of NELP, which 
will require the management of around 5.4 million tonnes of PASS rock plus 1.2 million tonnes of PASS soil which will be 
excavated by large tunnel boring machines.   

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Geoff Turner who, after over 12 years of providing geological services 
to the Company, this year decided to fully retire.  Geoff’s intersecting-faults concept for gold mineralisation in the Waranga 
Domain  has  led  to  Nagambie  holding  the  biggest  contiguous  tenements  package  in  Victoria  and  being  able  to  attract 
Mawson as a strategic partner to accelerate the search for the next Fosterville. 

As usual I would again like to thank the Company’s very supportive and patient shareholders - also my fellow directors, the 
CEO and his team, and our various excellent consultants for another productive year.

CEO’s OPERATIONS & EXPLORATION REVIEW 

GOLD EXPLORATION 

Gold exploration for Fosterville-style high-grade underground sulphide-gold deposits in Nagambie Resources’ 100%-owned 
Waranga Domain tenements continued to be methodically advanced during the year.    

Following lengthy negotiations in the first half of the year, an extensive strategic partnership with a Canadian gold exploration 
company, Mawson Gold Limited (“Mawson”), was announced on 30 January 2020.  The final agreements relating to the 
partnership were signed in late March.   

Strategic Partnership with Mawson 

Mawson took up an initial 10.0% cornerstone shareholding in Nagambie Resources of 50.0 million fully-paid ordinary shares.  
Mawson has right of first refusal to take up or match all proposals under consideration by Nagambie on its 3,600 sq km of 
Waranga Domain tenements provided that Mawson continues to hold its original 50.0 million Nagambie shares.  Mawson 
also has the right to appoint a director to the NRL board provided it increases its’ holding above, and maintains it above, 
15.0% of Nagambie. 

As consideration for the 50.0 million Nagambie shares, Nagambie received 8.5 million shares in Mawson which had a value 
at the time of the announcement of $2.5 million.  The value per Nagambie share of 5.0 cents represented a 31.6% premium 
to the last ASX sale price for Nagambie shares on 29 January 2020 of 3.8 cents. 

Mawson acquired 100% of NRL’s Clonbinane tenements for $0.528 million cash and a further 1.0 million Mawson shares, 
valued at the time of the announcement at $0.294 million.  

Total consideration to Nagambie for the 50.0 million Nagambie shares and Clonbinane was therefore valued at the time of 
the announcement at $3.322 million; $0.528 million in cash and approximately $2.794 million in 9.5 million Mawson shares.  
The 9.5 million Mawson shares were valued at approximately $3.954 million at 30 June 2020, an increase of $1.16 million. 

Mawson  also  had  the  right  to  spend  the  next  $1.0  million  on  each  of  Nagambie’s  Redcastle  exploration  licence  and 
Nagambie’s Doctors Gully retention licence to earn a 70% joint venture interest in each. 

Redcastle Joint Venture (Nagambie Resources currently 100%)    

Mawson commenced field work at Redcastle (refer Figures 1 and 2) in the June 2020 quarter and commenced extensive 
geophysical surveys and diamond drilling at Redcastle during the September quarter.

CEO’s Operations & Exploration Review 

The surveys being carried out include aerial LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), gradient-array Induced Polarisation (IP), 
dipole-dipole IP, ground magnetics and ground gravity.  

The principal historical mines are being diamond drilled for the first time ever to establish the major structural controls on 
gold mineralisation.  Subsequent drilling by Mawson Gold will target anomalies outlined from the various geophysical surveys 
as they are completed. 

Doctors Gully Joint Venture / Whroo Joint Venture (Nagambie Resources currently 100%)  

Mawson commenced field work at Doctors Gully during the September 2020 quarter.  Negotiations to expand the option / 
joint venture (JV) from 4 sq km to 199 sq km on improved terms, and rename it the Whroo JV, were carried out during that 
quarter.    On  14  October  2020,  Nagambie  and  Mawson  announced  the  signing  of  the  expanded  JV  agreement  which  is 
subject to the approval of Nagambie’s shareholders at the 2020 AGM. 

The  Whroo  JV  covers  the  following  100%-owned  contiguous  Nagambie  gold  tenements  (refer  Figures  3  and  4)  in  the 
Waranga Domain, the northern portion of the greatly underexplored Melbourne Zone in Victoria: 
  Four  granted  exploration  licences  -  EL6158  (Rushworth,  46  sq  km),  EL6212  (Reedy  Lake,  17  sq  km),  EL7205 

(Angustown, 69 sq km) and EL7209 (Goulburn West, 34 sq km); 

  Two exploration licence applications - ELA7237 (Kirwans North 1, 20 sq km) and ELA7238 (Kirwans North 2, 9 sq km); 

and 

  One granted retention licence - RL2019 (Doctors Gully, 4 sq km). 

The  Whroo  JV  Property  (refer  Figures  1  and  2)  starts  to  the  north  of  the  Wandean  oxide-gold  mineralisation  and  runs 
northwards to the historic gold mines at Whroo (including the Balaclava Mine) and White Hills (including Doctors Gully).   

These northern mines are located in a roughly-east-west trend of several Whroo anticlines and thrust faults (refer historical 
Figure 3).  The northern Balaclava and Doctors Gully Thrust Faults can be compared to the east-west-striking Nagambie 
Mine, Racecourse, Wandean and Wandean North Thrust Faults to the south. 

Figure 2    Nagambie Resources’ 100%-owned Whroo JV and Redcastle JV Properties      

Note: Adapted from Mawson Figure. 

Mawson is paying $0.1 million cash to Nagambie upon approval of the JV at Nagambie’s 2020 AGM and committing to spend 
an additional $0.4 million in the first year to earn no interest in the Whroo JV Property.  

Mawson then has the option to spend a cumulative $2.75 million (JV expenditure plus cash to Nagambie) to earn a 60% 
interest in the Whroo JV Property.  When Mawson has earned that 60% interest, Nagambie has the option to call for the 
formation of a 60:40 Mawson:Nagambie JV.  If Nagambie does not exercise that 60:40 option, Mawson then has two options: 
(1) to call for the formation of a 60:40 JV; or (2) to spend an additional $1.5 million (cumulative $4.25 million of JV expenditure 
and  cash  to  Nagambie)  to  earn  a  70%  interest  in  the  Whroo  JV  Property,  leading  to  the  formation  of  a  70:30 
Mawson:Nagambie JV. 

Mawson are planning to commence extensive geophysical surveys in the Whroo JV Property and initial diamond drilling at 
Doctors Gully early in CY 2021.

Nagambie Resources’ IP and Diamond Drilling in 2019/2020 

WTD002 

The WTD002 diamond hole at Wandean was designed to traverse under the surface oxide-gold mineralisation discovered 
in 2014 and intersect a strong IP chargeability anomaly 300m to the north.  No significant gold assays occurred throughout 
WTD002 with the only anomalous results being beneath the surface oxide-gold mineralisation.  The lithogeochemical results 
indicated hydrothermal alteration of the sediments beneath the surface gold mineralisation but not towards the end of the 
hole where the IP chargeability anomaly had been recorded.  The lithogeochemical analysis did indicate the possibility of 
carbonaceous  material  within  the  siltstone  beds  that  could  have  resulted  in  the  IP  anomaly.    Such  a  sedimentary 
carbonaceous IP response could be expected to extend for many kilometres east-west, similar to the Cahill sedimentary 
pyrite IP anomaly to the north west of the Nagambie Mine. 

The next step to locate the sulphide source for the Wandean oxide-gold mineralisation would logically be to carry out an IP 
survey to the north and west of the Goulburn River at Wandean.  As that area lies immediately to the south of the Whroo JV 
Property, Nagambie will liaise with Mawson in order to extend Whroo geophysical surveys southwards to the Goulburn River.  
The Reedy Lake soil anomaly, which occurs at the intersection of the Wandean Crustal Fault and the Wandean North Thrust 
Fault, lies only 2 km north west of Wandean.            

Dipole-Dipole IP Surveys 

IP surveys were carried out in January and March 2020 to the west and north west of the Nagambie Mine.  The two strongest 
IP chargeability anomalies generated to date in the Nagambie Mine area, Racecourse and Nagambie Mine West, straddle 
the  Racecourse  Thrust  and  the  Nagambie  Mine  Thrust  respectively  and  are  most  intense  at  or  near  the  respective 
intersections with the Wandean Crustal Fault (refer Figure 4).  Diamond holes RAD002 and NWD001 were then designed 
to intersect those anomalies. 

Epizonal (Fosterville-style) versus Mesozonal (Ballarat/Bendigo-style) 

The Melbourne Zone and the Eastern Bendigo Zone that host the later-formed (370 Ma to 380 Ma) epizonal Fosterville, 
Costerfield and Nagambie gold mines (refer Figure 1) are entirely underlain by the older crustal Selwyn Block.   

It is this deep crustal architecture that distinguishes epizonal deposits from the earlier-formed (400 Ma to 420 Ma) mesozonal 
deposits such as the Bendigo, Ballarat and Stawell gold mines. 

The gold in mesozonal quartz-vein deposits is typically nuggetty with very uneven distribution, giving rise to highly variable 
grades and making effective resource drilling problematic and expensive.  Gold in epizonal deposits is typically fine grained 
and evenly disseminated in association with pyrite and arsenopyrite.  As a result, resource drilling of epizonal deposits will 
typically be straightforward and relatively inexpensive.

CEO’s Operations & Exploration Review 

Nagambie Resources’ Gold Model for the Waranga Domain 

Nagambie’s evolving gold mineralisation model for the Waranga Domain, the northern portion of the Melbourne Zone, has 
as its basis that hot hydrothermal mineralised fluids from the underlying Selwyn Block passed up deep, north-west-striking 
crustal faults under pressure before intersecting east-west-striking thrust faults nearer surface. These thrust faults typically 
extend around 6 km or more below the current day surface. 

As  the  Selwyn  Block-sourced  hydrothermal  fluids  extended  east,  west  and  upwards  under  pressure  into  fluid  pathways 
associated with the thrust faults, the temperature and pressure of the fluids dropped to optimal levels and quartz, carbonates, 
pyrite, arsenopyrite, stibnite and gold were precipitated into the surrounding folded and fractured sandstone and siltstone 
marine-formation rocks (turbidites). 

In  early  2017,  Nagambie’s  geological consultant,  Geoff  Turner, began  to  articulate his  intersecting-faults  concept  for  the 
Waranga  Domain  (refer  Figure  5).    He  had  recognised  that  the  known  Fosterville-style,  epizonal  gold  deposits  at  the 
Nagambie  Mine,  Wandean,  Whroo  (including  Balaclava  Hill)  &  White  Hills  (including  Doctors  Gully)  and  several  gold 
anomalies, including the Reedy Lake Soil Anomaly, are all at or near to the intersections of gravity-inferred deep crustal 
faults and magnetic-inferred or visually-outcropping nearer-surface thrust faults. 

Waranga Domain Gold Endowment Potential 

Over 10 years ago, in February 2010, Earth Resources Victoria probabilistically estimated that 3.0 Moz of gold remained to 
be discovered in the Waranga Domain (refer Nagambie announcement to the ASX of 27 February 2020: “3,600 sq km of 
Fosterville-style  Gold  Tenements”).    The  biggest  gold  deposit  considered  in  that  statistical  analysis,  based  on  protocols 
developed and used extensively by the US Geological Survey, was Fosterville at 2.1Moz.  The Fosterville Gold Mine’s total 
gold endowment today exceeds 10.0 Moz and is continuing to grow in size. 

Nagambie in the last decade has carried out the first significant research, via IP surveys and deep oriented diamond drilling, 
into the controls on mineralisation in the Waranga Domain.  Based on that research and the dramatic growth of the Fosterville 
deposit, Nagambie now considers that the total undiscovered gold endowment in the Waranga Domain could greatly exceed 
the 3.0 Moz estimated by Earth Resources Victoria in 2010.    

Gold Tenements 

The Company’s tenements as at 30 September 2020, totalling 3,694.6 sq km, are listed in Table 1.   

POTENTIAL BACTERIAL RECOVERY OF GOLD IN HISTORIC HEAP LEACH PAD 

Total recorded gold production from the Nagambie Mine cyanide heap between 1989 and 1997 was 134,000 ounces and 
Nagambie Resources considers that a significant amount of gold remains in the heap.

Figure 5     Intersecting Structures Plan (Geoff Turner, as at 24 January 2017)   

CEO’s Operations & Exploration Review 

Notes: (1) Only some of the mapped east-west-trending thrust faults were shown in order to simplify the plan.  
           (2) NRL has pegged additional ground in the area since January 2017 (refer Figure 2). 

In 1997, the average price of gold was around A$450 per ounce.  Currently, the price of gold is around A$2,600 per ounce, 
over five times the price in 1997.   In the USA, the use of naturally-occurring bacteria in solution has been shown to get 
significant recovery of residual gold in cyanide heap leach pads.  

Nagambie Resources is investigating the ways it could recover residual gold from the heap using naturally-occurring bacteria 
and establishing which laboratories are best equipped to carry out the bacterial speciation test work required at an acceptable 
cost.   

Nagambie Resources is looking to commence laboratory work early in 2021. 

PASS PROJECT 

Nagambie Resources has an Environment Protection Authority of Victoria (EPA)-approved Environment Management Plan 
(EMP) to store PASS in the legacy water-filled pits at the Nagambie Mine as part of the proposed rehabilitation of those pits.  
PASS capacity of the pits is around 5.0 million tonnes.  The water in the Nagambie Mine open pits is naturally saline and 
alkaline, making it ideal tor PASS management. 

The North East Link Project (NELP) tender closed as scheduled in May 2020, with Nagambie asked to provide pricing for 
“Underwater Storage” PASS Management at the Nagambie Mine.  NELP will be the biggest-ever road infrastructure project 
in Victoria and will require the management of around 5.4 million tonnes of PASS rock plus 1.2 million tonnes of PASS soil 
which will be excavated 24x7 by large tunnel boring machines.   

Normal Victorian Government business has been significantly delayed by Covid-19.  The State budget is usually delivered 
in May but the 2020/21 budget is now expected to be delivered in November 2020.  As a result, the winning tenderer for the 
construction of NELP may not be announced until early 2021.

potential is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further 
exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward- 
looking statements and Nagambie Resources assumes no obligation to update such information.

Directors’ Report 

Operating and Financial Review 
Principal Activities 
The  principal  activities  of  the  group  during  the  financial  period  were  the  exploration for,  and  development  of, gold, 
associated minerals, and construction materials in Australia, and the investigation and development of waste handling 
assets. 

Review of Operations 
Following lengthy  negotiations  in  the  first  half of  the  year,  an  extensive  strategic partnership  with  a  Canadian  gold 
exploration company, Mawson Gold Limited (“Mawson”), was announced on 30 January 2020. 

Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical surveys carried out in January and March 2020 outlined strong sulphide-gold 
targets at Racecourse and Nagambie Mine West. Follow up deep diamond drilling of these targets is being carried out. 

Tenders  closed  during  May  2020  for  the  construction  of  the  North  East  Link  in  Melbourne,  which  will  require  the 
management of around 5.4 million tonnes of PASS rock to be excavated by large tunnel boring machines.  Nagambie 
Resources was requested by one of the tenderers to provide pricing for the underwater management of PASS at the 
Nagambie Mine and it did so. 

Strategic Partnership with Mawson 
Mawson took up an initial 10.0% cornerstone shareholding in Nagambie Resources Limited (“NRL”) of 50.0 million 
fully-paid ordinary NRL shares.  Mawson has right of first refusal to take up or match all proposals under consideration 
by NRL on its 3,600 sq km of Waranga Domain tenements provided that Mawson continues to hold its original 50.0 
million NRL shares.  Mawson also has the right to appoint a director to the NRL board provided it increases its’ holding 
above, and maintains it above, 15.0% of NRL. 

As consideration for the 50.0 million NRL shares issued for $2,500,000, NRL received 8.5 million shares in Mawson. 
The value per NRL share of 5.0 cents represented a 31.6% premium to the last ASX sale price for NRL shares on 29 
January 2020 of 3.8 cents. 

Mawson acquired 100% of NRL’s Clonbinane tenements for $500,000 cash and 1.0 million Mawson shares.  Mawson 
also paid NRL $28,000 to cover the tenement bonds. 

Total consideration to NRL for the 50.0 million NRL shares and Clonbinane was valued at $3,245,412; $528,000 in 
cash and $2,717,412 in 9.5 million Mawson shares.  The 9.5 million Mawson shares were valued at $3,954,108 at 30 
June 2020. 

Mawson also has the right to spend the next $1,000,000 on each of NRL’s Redcastle exploration licence and NRL’s 
Doctors Gully retention licence to earn a 70% joint venture interest in each. 

Covid-19 Impacts 
The Covid-19 pandemic affected activities in the second half of the year.  Local demand for quarry products was well 
down on anticipated levels as business developments in the Nagambie region were put on hold. 

Diamond drilling of the RAD002 hole at the Racecourse Prospect was delayed by a total of eight weeks because the 
drilling contractor had manning issues resulting from the strict virus testing protocols required and the closure of the 
border with Tasmania, the home State for several of his employees.  A follow up IP geophysical survey at Racecourse 
West had to be deferred as the preferred IP contractor is based in Adelaide and the South Australian border was, and 
remains, closed to Victoria.    

Likely Developments 
During the 2021 financial year, Nagambie Resources is planning to: 

1. Complete  RAD002  into  the  Racecourse  sulphide-gold  prospect  and  drill  NWD001,  the  first  hole  into  the

Nagambie Mine West sulphide-gold prospect;

2. Carry out lithogeochemical sampling of RAD002 and NWD001 to assist in vectoring towards and/or prioritising

structures and follow up drilling;

3. Carry out a ground IP geophysical survey to the west of the Nagambie Bypass Freeway to assist in targeting

a follow up Racecourse prospect hole to the west of RAD002;

4. Secure  a  PASS  Management  contract  for  some  of  the  estimated  5.4  million  tonnes  of  PASS  rock  to  be

excavated from the tunnels for the North East Link;

Nagambie Resources Limited | 2020 Annual Report | Page 10

Directors’ Report 

5. Secure additional joint ventures over more of Nagambie Resources’ 3,600 sq km of contiguous tenements in
the Waranga Domain.  Mawson is likely to be the joint venture participant as it has right of first refusal to take
up or match all gold exploration proposals under consideration by NRL; and

6. Carry  out  bacterial  speciation  testwork  to  establish  the  best  naturally  occurring  bacteria  to  use  to  recover
residual gold in the Nagambie Mine 1989-1997 heap leach pad and to establish potential gold recovery.  In
the USA, the use of naturally occurring bacteria in solution has been shown to get significant recovery of such
residual gold.

Financial Matters 
The consolidated loss for the group for the year amounted to $876,491 after tax. This compared to a loss after tax for 
the year ended 30 June 2019 of $1,485,048. The decrease of $608,557 in the loss for the year arises after a decrease 
in revenue of $22,731 a decrease in expenditures of $183,050 and receipt of an R&D tax incentive of $727,624. After 
an increase in the value of the shares in Mawson Gold Limited is taken into account as Other comprehensive income 
there is a Total comprehensive income of $360,206 for the year.  

A total of $3,163,800 before costs  was raised  in share capital by the company during the 2020 financial year. This 
included $603,800 from issue of 11,392,468 shares at 5.3 cents from a share purchase plan, $60,000 from issue of 
1,132,076 shares at  5.3 cents in a placement and  $2,500,000 from the  issue of  50,000,000 shares  at 5.0 cents to 
Mawson Gold Limited. There was also $200,000 raised from the issue of 4,000,000 convertible notes at 5 cents. 

Changes in state of affairs 
There  was  no  significant  change  in  the  state  of  affairs  of  the  Group  during  the  financial  year  other  than  already 
disclosed. 

Subsequent events 
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 of the Company, to affect significantly 
the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or state of affairs of the Group, in future financial years. 

Environmental regulations 
The company’s exploration and mining tenements are located in Victoria.  The operation of these tenements is subject 
to compliance with the Victorian and Commonwealth mining and environmental regulations and legislation.  

Licence requirements relating to ground disturbance, rehabilitation and waste disposal exist for all tenements held.  
The directors are not aware of any ongoing breaches of mining and environmental regulations and legislation during 
the year and up to the date of this report. 

Dividends 
No dividends in respect of the current financial period have been paid, declared or recommended for payment (2019: 
Nil).

Remuneration policy for directors and executives 

Details of key management personnel 
The directors and key management personnel of Nagambie Resources Limited during the financial year were: 

Michael Trumbull 
Alfonso Grillo 
Gary Davison 
James Earle 

Remuneration Policy 

Executive Director 
Non-Executive Director 
Non-Executive Director 
Chief Executive Officer 

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation of the directors, the chief executive officer, 
the executive officers and senior managers of the company and reviewing the operation of the company’s Employee 
Option  Plan.    This  process  requires  consideration  of  the  levels  and  form  of  remuneration  appropriate  to  securing, 
motivating and retaining executives with the skills to manage the company’s operations. The board of directors also 
recommends  levels  and  form of  remuneration  for non-executive  directors  with  reference to  performance  and  when 
required, sought independent expert advice.  The total sum of remuneration payable to non-executive directors shall 
not exceed the sum fixed by members of the company in general meeting. 

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.17, the current maximum aggregate compensation payable out of the funds of 
the company to non-executive directors for their services as directors is $250,000 per annum.  For the year ending 30 
June 2020, the board resolved that the executive chairman’s remuneration be set at $150,000 (2019: $150,000) per 
annum excluding superannuation and share based payments. For non-executive directors, remuneration was set at 
$42,000 (2019: $42,000) per annum excluding superannuation and share based payments. Where a director performs 
special duties or otherwise performs consulting services outside of the scope of the ordinary duties of a director, then 
additional amounts will be payable.  

There is no direct relationship between the company’s remuneration policy and the company’s performance.  That is, 
no  portion  of  the  remuneration  of  directors,  secretary  or  senior  managers  is  ‘at  risk’.    However,  in  determining the 
remuneration to be paid in each subsequent financial year, the board will have regard to the company’s performance.  
Therefore, the relationship between the remuneration policy and the company’s performance is indirect.  

Options are issued to employees under the company’s Employee Option Plan at the discretion of the board. Options 
issued to directors require the approval of shareholders at a general meeting. The purpose of the issue of options is to 
remunerate employees and directors as an incentive for future services. The directors consider it important that the 
company is able to attract and retain people of the highest calibre and believe that the most appropriate means of 
achieving this is to provide an opportunity to participate in the company’s future growth and give them an incentive to 
contribute to that growth.

Executive Options 

The  Group  has  an  ownership-based  remuneration  scheme  for  staff  and  executives  (including  executive  and  non-
executive directors) of the company. In accordance with the provisions of the scheme, as approved by shareholders at 
a previous annual general meeting, staff and executives of the company may be granted options to purchase parcels 
of ordinary shares at an exercise price determined at the discretion of the board of directors.  

Each share option converts into one ordinary share of Nagambie Resources Limited on exercise by the payment of the 
exercise price. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the options. The options carry neither right 
to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. 
The number of options granted is at the discretion of the board of directors of the company.  

The  options  granted  expire  five  years  after  their  issue  or  one  month  after  the  resignation  of  the  staff  member  or 
executive, whichever is the earlier, or as otherwise determined by the board of directors. There are 72,450,000 share 
options  on  issue  under  this  plan,  of  which  43,000,000  are  held  by  directors  and  key  management  personnel  and 
29,450,000 are held by other current and former executives and employees.

Notes to the Financial Statements 

Notes to the Financial Statements 
for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 

1. General information

Nagambie  Resources  Limited  (the  Company)  is  a  listed  for-profit  public  company,  incorporated  in  Australia  and 
operating in Victoria. The registered office and principal place of business for the Company are located at 533 Zanelli 
Road,  Nagambie  Vic  3608.  These  financial  statements  were  authorised  for  issue  on the date  of  the  signing  of the 
attached Directors’ Declaration. 

2. Significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance 
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations Regulations 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations. 
The financial statements include the consolidated financial statements of the group.  

Compliance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (AASBs)  ensures  that  the  financial  statements  and  notes  of  the 
group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’). 

Basis of preparation 
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis using historical cost with the exception of certain 
assets measured at fair value. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All 
amounts are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company and its 
controlled entities. Comparative information where necessary has been reclassified in order to achieve consistency in 
presentation with amounts disclosed in the current year. 

Changes in accounting policies 
Other than the policies described below there have been no changes in accounting policies. 

AASB 16 – Leases (“AASB 16”) 
The  Group  has  adopted  AASB  16  from  1  July  2019.  This  standard  replaces  AASB  117  “Leases”  and  for  leases 
eliminates the classification of operating leases and finance leases.  Except for short-term leases and leases of low 
value assets, right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position.  
Straight-line  operating lease expense  recognition  is  replaced  with  a  depreciation charge  for  the  right-of-use assets 
(including operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs).  In 
the earlier period of the lease, the expense associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to 
the lease expense under AASB 117.  However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) 
results improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss.  For 
classification with the statement of cash-flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal 
portion of the lease payments are separately disclosed in the financing activities.  For lessor accounting, the standard 
does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases.  

Impact of adoption 
As the Group’s only lease expired on 14 October 2019 there was no impact on adoption of this standard as at 1 July 
2019.  A new lease was signed on 15 October 2019 which has been recorded as a right of use asset / lease liability on 
15 October 2019.  
Hire purchase assets were transferred from plant and equipment to right on use asset on 1 July 2019.  This did not 
result in any financial impact to the Group. 

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial 
statements: 

(a)

Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal
business activity and the realisation and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

(b) Basis of consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  financial  statements  of  the  Company  and  entities
controlled by the Company (referred to as ‘the group’ in these financial statements). The Group controls an entity
when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the
ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.

Nagambie Resources Limited | 2020 Annual Report | Page 22

Notes to the Financial Statements 

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date 
of disposal, as appropriate. 

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting 
policies into line with those used by other members of the group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income 
and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.  

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments
that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.

(d) Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected
to  be  wholly  settled  within  12  months  of  the  reporting  date  are  recognised  in  current  liabilities  in  respect  of
employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the
liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the 
reporting date are recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement 
of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect 
of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration 
is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. 
Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on government bonds with 
terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

(e)

Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration  and  evaluation  expenditures  in  relation  to  each  separate  area  of  interest  are  recognised  as  an
exploration  and  evaluation  asset  in  the  year  in  which  they  are  incurred  where  the  following  conditions  are
satisfied:

the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

(8)
(ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:

(a)

the  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditures  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  successful
development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or

(b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the end of the reporting period
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  initially  measured  at  cost  and  include  acquisition  of  rights  to  explore, 
studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation 
and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are 
only included in the measure of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational 
activities in a particular area of interest. 

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the 
carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable 
amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (or the cash-generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated, 
being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if 
any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the 
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not  
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the 
asset in previous years. 

Where a decision is made to proceed with the development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant 
exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance will then be reclassified to capitalised 
development costs.

(f)

Impairment of tangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists,
the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the group estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent
basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or
otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent
allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated  future  cash  flows  are  discounted  to  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  that  reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates
of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount,
the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment
loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years.

(g)

Income tax
Current tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the
taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised
as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax 
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method. Temporary differences are differences between the tax 
base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount in the statement of financial position. The tax base of an 
asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. 

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are 
recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  sufficient  taxable  amounts  will  be  available  against  which 
deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax 
assets and liabilities  are  not  recognised  if  the  temporary  differences giving  rise  to  them  arise  from  the  initial 
recognition  of  assets  and  liabilities  (other  than  as  a  result  of  a  business  combination)  which  affects  neither 
taxable income nor accounting profit.  

A  deferred  tax  liability  is  not  recognised  in  relation  to  taxable  temporary  differences  arising  from  the  initial 
recognition of goodwill. 

Deferred  tax  liabilities  are  recognised  for  taxable  temporary  differences  associated  with  investments  in 
subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint ventures except where the group is able to control  
the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the 
foreseeable future.  

Deferred  tax  assets  arising  from  deductible  temporary  differences  associated  with  these  investments  and 
interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against 
which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable 
future. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when 
the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been 
enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities 
and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the group expects, at the 
end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  when  they  relate  to  income  taxes  levied  by  the  same  taxation 
authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 

Nagambie Resources Limited | 2020 Annual Report | Page 24

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Current and deferred tax for the period 
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income  in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the 
deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting  for a business 
combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess. 

(h) Research & development tax incentive

The Research & development (R&D) tax incentive refund relates to eligible R&D activities undertaken by the group.
The tax credit is recognised when the money is received from the Australian Taxation Office. This credit is recognised
in current tax (refer note 2(h) above).

.(i) 

Right of use assets
A right of use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease.  The right of use asset is measured at
cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable; any lease payment
made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred,
and except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling
and removing the underlying asset and restoring the site or asset.

Right  of  use  assets  are  depreciated  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  unexpired  period  of  the  lease  or  the
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter.  When the Group expects to obtain ownership of the
leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life.  Right of use assets
are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The  Group  has  elected  not  to  recognise  a  right-of-use  asset  and  corresponding  lease  liability  for  short-term
leases with a term of 12 months or leases of low-value assets.  Lease payments on these assets are expensed
to profit or loss as incurred.

(j)

Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease.  The lease liability is initially recognised at
the present value of the lease payment to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate
implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.  Lease
payments  comprise  of  fixed  payments,  less  any  lease  incentives  receivable,  variable  lease  payments  that
depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of
a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur and any anticipated termination
penalties.  The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in
which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are
remeasured if there is a change in the following; future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a
rate used, residual guarantees, lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties.  When a
lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the following right-of-use asset, or to profit or loss if the
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost amount of each asset over its
expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation
method  are  reviewed  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  with  the  effect  of  any  changes  recognised  on  a
prospective basis.

(k) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item.

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment except for freehold land.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost amount of each asset over its
expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation
method  are  reviewed  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  with  the  effect  of  any  changes  recognised  on  a
prospective basis.

The range of useful lives for each class of plant equipment for the year were:

Plant and equipment: 
Computer equipment: 
Motor vehicles: 

4-10 years
3-5 years
3-5 years

The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant or equipment is determined as the
difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit and loss.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(l)

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event, it is probable that the group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made
of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present
obligation  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period,  taking  into  account  the  risks  and  uncertainties  surrounding  the
obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its
carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

(m) Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Sale of rock revenue
Revenue from the sale of rock is measured at the fair value for the consideration received or receivable. The
revenue is recognised when the rock is removed from the company premises. There are no cartage expenses
as the customer utilises their own assets to source and remove the rock.

Interest revenue
Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest
rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life
of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

Rental revenue
Property  rental  income  is  recognised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the period  of  the  lease  term. When  rental
income is received in advance at the end of a period it is recognised as income in the following period to which
it relates.

Government Grants
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to
match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

(n) Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments with employees and others providing similar services are measured at the
fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is measured by use of a Binomial option pricing
model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the
effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

The  fair  value  determined  at  the  grant  date  of  the  equity-settled  share-based  payments  is  expensed  when
options are granted since in all cases there is no delay until options are vested.

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with other parties are measured at the fair value of the goods
and services received, except where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured
at  the  fair  value  of  the  equity instruments  granted,  measured  at the date  the  entity  obtains  the  goods  or the
counterparty renders the service.

(o) Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
8.

where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part
of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

ii.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables
or payables. Cash flows are presented on a net basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing
or financial activities which are recoverable from a payable to the taxation authority are presented as operating
cash flows.

(p)

(q)

Trade and other payables
Accounts payable and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for
goods and services received by the company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is
recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the
ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting
period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(r)

Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction
costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(s)

(t)

(u)

(v)

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the
statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.

Convertible notes are initially classified as a financial liability until extinguished on conversion or redemption.
The corresponding interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.

Finance costs
Finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, including interest on bank accounts and
interest on short-term and long-term borrowings.

Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part
of  the  initial  measurement,  except  for  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  Such  assets  are
subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is
determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred
and  the  company  has  transferred  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  When  there  is  no
reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it’s carrying value is written off

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income  include  equity  investments  which  the
company intends to hold and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition. There are
two types of FVOCI accounting under AASB 9 (Equity FVOCI and Debt FVOCI)

Impairment of financial assets
The  company  recognises  a  loss  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  on  financial  assets  which  are  either
measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss
allowance  depends  upon  the  company’s  assessment  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period  as  to  whether  the
financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and
supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month
expected  credit  loss  allowance  is  estimated.  This  represents  a  portion  of  the  asset’s  lifetime expected credit
losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset
has  become  credit  impaired  or  where  it  is  determined  that  credit  risk  has  increased  significantly,  the  loss
allowance is based on the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised
is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of
the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance
is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other
cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset’s carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or
loss.

(w) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the group may commence commercial
production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral
resources.  Key  judgements  are  applied  in  considering  costs  to  be  capitalised  which  includes  determining
expenditures  directly  related  to  these  activities  and  directly  allocating  overheads  between  those  that  are
expensed and capitalised.

Nagambie Resources Limited | 2020 Annual Report | Page 27

Notes to the Financial Statements 

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development 
or sale of the relevant mining interest or activities that are not at a stage that permits a reasonable estimate of 
the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Factors that could impact the future commercial production 
at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost 
of  mining,  future  legal  changes  and  changes  in  commodity  prices.  To  the  extent  that  capitalised  costs  are 
determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is 
made.  

Management have assessed the balance of capitalised exploration costs in line with future planned exploration 
activities  and  the  group’s  accounting  policy  and  have  determined  that  no  impairment  was  necessary.  If  a 
tenement has been relinquished or reduced, then an impairment charge is taken. This charge is generally based 
on the pro-rata area reduced, however there can be other reasons for not using such an approach. When a 
tenement is not relinquished or reduced but is thought to be of reduced carrying value then an impairment based 
on management’s estimate of fair value has been applied. Any charge for impairment is recognised in profit or 
loss immediately and also shown at Note 9. 

Rehabilitation of tenements 
The group has considered whether a provision for rehabilitation of any tenement is required. The directors do 
not  consider  that  such  a  provision  is  necessary  due  to  the  fact  that  rehabilitation  is  being  undertaken  on  a 
progressive basis. Whilst the company is in exploration phase it cannot reliably estimate the scope and costs of 
rehabilitation work that will need to be undertaken. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the group considers it is probable 
that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Share based payments 
The group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the 
equity  instruments  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.  The  fair  value  is  determined  by  using  a  Binomial 
valuation method of taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The 
company employs an external consultant  to complete the  valuation and this  takes into account the expected 
volatility  of  the  share  price  as  one  of  the  key  components  of  the  valuation.  The  accounting  estimates  and 
assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. 

Fair value of convertible notes 
Under the group’s accounting policy for convertible notes with cash redemption features, at initial recognition an 
amount equal to the fair value of the convertible notes issued is recognised as a financial liability (“debt”), and 
the  residual  value, being  the proceeds  of consideration less  the  debt  component  recognised at  fair  value,  is 
recognised in equity.  

On initial recognition, the directors have assessed the terms of the convertible notes and determined that in their 
view the fair value of the debt component is equal to the proceeds such that there is no residual amount to be 
allocated to an equity component. In making this determination, the directors are of the view that the value of 
the consideration received, net of costs, provided reliable evidence of the fair value of the debt component of 
the convertible note. 

(x)

Fair value measurement hierarchy

The company is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, 
based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted 
prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or  liabilities  that  the  entity  can  access  at  the 
measurement date; 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. 
Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category 
the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.

8. Equity investments at fair value (continued)

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income relate to Mawson Gold Limited which are ordinary 
shares in a company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. These have been valued at the quoted prices at accordance 
with  AASB  13,  using  Level  1 of  the  fair  value  hierarchy  -  quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active markets  for identical 
assets or liabilities 

AASB 13 'Fair Value Measurement' requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the fair value 
hierarchy, as follows: 

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 

directly or indirectly; 

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

performance conditions set by the Department of Economic Development, Jobs,  Transport and Resources Victoria 
on mining tenements held by the company. Those guarantees are held to cover any future rehabilitation obligations 
the company may have on the mining tenements. When all obligations in relation to a mining tenement are finalised, 
the relevant guarantee will be released and associated environmental bond will be redeemed. The deposits are shown 
as  non-current  assets  since  it  is  not  expected  that  they  will  be  repaid  during  the  coming  12  months.  These  cash

(c) Terms and conditions of issued capital
Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of winding up the company, to

up on the shares held.
Ordinary shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or proxy, at a meeting of the company. The fully
paid ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
Share options granted under the employee share option plan 
As  at  30  June  2020  there  were  29,450,000  (2019  19,650,000)  options  over  ordinary  shares  in  respect  of  the 
employee share option plan. These options were issued in accordance with the provisions of the employee share 
option plan to executives and senior employees. Of these options 29,450,000 were vested by 30 June 2020 (2019: 
19,650,000). 
Share  options  granted  under the  employee  share  option  plan  carry  no  rights to  dividends  and  have  no  voting

(d) Capital management
The group's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it
can  provide  returns  for  shareholders  and  benefits  for  other  stakeholders  and  to  maintain  an  optimum  capital
structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In  order  to  maintain  or  adjust  the  capital  structure,  the  group  may  adjust  the  amount  of  dividends  paid  to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value
adding  relative  to  the  current  company's  share  price  at  the  time  of  the  investment.  The  group  is  not  actively
pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in
order to maximise synergies.
The group is subject to equipment financing arrangements and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk
management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial
year.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2019 Financial Statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements 

21. Financial instruments

The board of directors is responsible for monitoring and managing the financial risk exposures of the group, to which 
end it monitors the financial risk management policies and exposures and approves financial transactions and reviews 
related internal controls within the scope of its authority. The board has determined that the only significant financial 
risk exposures of the group are liquidity risk and market risk. Other financial risks are not significant to the group due 
to the following: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It has no foreign exchange risk as all of its account balances and transactions are in Australian Dollars; 

It has no significant outstanding receivable balances that have a credit risk; 

Its  mining  operations  are  in  the  exploration  phase  and  therefore  have  no  direct  exposure  to  movements  in 
commodity prices; 

All of the interest bearing instruments are held at amortised cost which have fair values that approximate their 
carrying values since all cash and payables (except for convertible notes refer note 15) have maturity dates within 
one  financial  year.  Term  deposits  on  environmental  bonds  and  convertible  notes  have  interest  rate  yields 
consistent with current market rates; 

All of the financing for the group is from equity and convertible note instruments, and 

The group has no externally imposed capital requirements with the exception of an ASX requirement to not issue 
more than 25% of its share capital through a placement in a 12-month period.

(b) Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate
liquidity  risk  management  framework  for  the  management  of  the  group’s  funding  and  liquidity  management
requirements. The  group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances to meet obligations as and
when they fall due.

The following tables detail the company’s and the group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The 
tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on

22. Share-based payments

The group has an ownership-based remuneration scheme for executives (including executive directors) of the group. 
In accordance with the provisions of the scheme, as approved by shareholders at a previous annual general meeting, 
executives with the company may be granted options to purchase parcels of ordinary shares at an exercise price 
determined at the discretion of the board of directors. Each executive share option converts into one ordinary share 
of Nagambie  Resources Limited on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the 
option. The options carry neither right to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the 
date of vesting to the date of their expiry.  The number of options granted is at the discretion of the board of directors. 
The options granted expire five years after their issue, or one month after the resignation of the executive, whichever 
is  the  earlier.  The  total  of  options  on  issue  is  72,450,000  (2019:  67,650,000).  Of  these  29,450,000  (2019: 
28,650,000)  have  been  issued  to  executives and  employees  and  the balance  of  43,000,000  (2019: 39,000,000)

22. Share-based payments (continued)

The weighted average fair value of the share options granted during the financial year is 3.90 cents (2019: 2.80 cents). 
Options were priced using a Binomial option valuation model. Where relevant, the expected life used in the model has 
been  adjusted  based  on  management’s  best  estimate  for  the  effects  of  non-transferability,  exercise  restrictions 
(including  the  probability  of  meeting  market  conditions  attached  to  the  option),  and  behavioural  considerations. 
Expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility over the past 3 years. The options may be exercised 
early, but not before vesting date.

Nagambie Resources Limited 
Independent auditor’s report to members 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Qualified Opinion 
We have audited the financial report of Nagambie Resources 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 
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ 
declaration. 

In our opinion, except for the matters described below in the Basis for Qualified 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 then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations

2001.

Basis for Qualified Opinion  
Fair valuation of the debt component of convertible notes upon initial recognition 

As disclosed in Note 17 to the financial statements in the current and prior year, the 
Company has raised $3,634,000 from investors through the issue of Series 6, Series 7 
and Series 8 unsecured convertible notes. All tranches of unsecured convertible notes 
have a coupon interest rate of 10% per annum and include an equity conversion feature, 
entitling the noteholder to convert the principal value of each note into ordinary shares at 
10 cents per share for Series 6 and Series 7, and 5 cents per share for Series 8. AASB 
132 Financial Instruments: Presentation requires that the debt component of such 
convertible notes, with fixed conversion formulae, be valued at fair value upon initial 
recognition (the date upon which the Company and the convertible noteholder became 
party to contract), with any difference between the face value of those notes and the fair 
value of the debt component recognised in equity. 

The directors of the Company believe there is no reliable basis for measuring at fair value 
the debt component at initial recognition, principally upon the basis that there is no readily 
accessible market for unsecured debt with no equity conversion rights for exploration 
enterprises with similar market capitalisation levels either in Australia or any other foreign 
jurisdiction, upon which it could benchmark a reliable discount rate to fair value the debt. 
Upon that basis, they have assessed the fair value of the debt component to equal the 
face value of the convertible notes for both tranches of convertible notes.

Nagambie Resources Limited | 2020 Annual Report | Page 41

Notwithstanding this, we consider that a market value for the debt component of such convertible notes can 
be imputed from other like-for-like Australian-based listed exploration companies, principally due to the 
growth in popularity of convertible notes as a mechanism for obtaining finance in recent years. Our view is 
that the depth of the active market has become sufficient for our basis of opinion around the time that the 
Series 6 notes were issued.  Based upon our analysis, we believe that 25% would be an appropriate 
discount rate for Series 6 and Series 7 and a 20% discount rate for Series 8 to apply in calculating the fair 
value of the debt component of convertible notes at initial recognition. 

Based upon this key assumption, had such a discount been applied against the three tranches of 
convertible notes which were issued during the current and prior years, the following adjustments would be 
required to these financial statements as at 30 June 2020: 

Series 6 

—  Convertible notes held at $1,800,000 in the statement of financial position would be restated to 

$1,368,929; 

—  An equity reserve would be created, worth $691,837, representing the difference between the face 

value and fair value of the Convertible Note at initial recognition; and 

—  An additional interest charge of $260,766, representing the proportionate unwind of the discount 

applied to the convertible notes from initial recognition through to 30 June 2020. 

Series 7 

—  Convertible notes held at $700,000 in the statement of financial position would be restated to $503,615; 

—  An equity reserve would be created, worth $269,048, representing the difference between the face 

value and fair value of the Convertible Note at initial recognition; and 

—  An additional interest charge of $72,663, representing the proportionate unwind of the discount applied 

to the convertible notes from initial recognition through to 30 June 2020 

Series 8 

—  Convertible notes held at $1,134,000 in the statement of financial position would be restated to 

$811,049; 

—  An equity reserve would be created, worth $322,951, representing the difference between the face 

value and fair value of the Convertible Note at initial recognition; and 

—  An additional interest charge of $67,587, representing the proportionate unwind of the discount applied 

to the convertible notes from initial recognition through to 30 June 2020. 

Other matters relevant to the Basis for Qualified 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 auditor independence requirements 
of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical 
Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to 
our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in 
accordance with the Code.  

Nagambie Resources Limited | 2020 Annual Report | Page 42

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, has been 
provided on the date of this 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. In addition to the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion sections, we 
have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. 

CARRYING VALUE OF EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS 

Area of focus 
Refer also to notes 2 and 10 
The Group has incurred exploration and 
evaluation costs for exploration projects in 
Victoria over a number of years.  

The Group holds the right to explore and 
evaluate those projects through tenement 
and licence agreements.  

There is a risk that the Group may lose its 
right to further explore and evaluate those 
areas of interest and therefore amounts 
capitalized to the statement of financial 
position from the current and historical 
periods be no longer recoverable. 

How our audit addressed it 

Our audit procedures included: 

—  Understanding and vouching the underlying 

contractual entitlement to explore and evaluate 
each area of interest, including an evaluation of 
the requirement to renew that tenement at its 
expiry; 

—  Examining project spend per each area of 

interest and comparing this spend to the 
minimum expenditure requirements set out in 
the underlying tenement expenditure plan; 

—  Examining project spend to each area of interest 
to ensure that it is directly attributable to that 
area of interest;  

—  For areas of interest that were disposed of 
during the year we have obtained the sale 
documentation to verifiy that the disposal has 
been accounted for correctly;and 

—  From an overall perspective, comparing the 
market capitalisation of the Group to the net 
carrying value of its assets on the statement of 
financial position to identify any other additional 
indicators of impairment. 

We also assessed the adequacy of the Group’s 
disclosures in respect of exploration and evaluation 
assets in the financial report. 

Nagambie Resources Limited | 2020 Annual Report | Page 43

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS 

Area of focus 
Refer also to notes 2, 15, 22 and the 
Remuneration Report 
The Group rewards its key management 
personnel and employees through 
ownership-based incentive scheme through 
the granting and issuing of options. 

These are share-based payments which 
are charged to the profit or loss as they 
vest. These options had no performance 
hurdles or service conditions attached to 
their vesting, hence they vested 
immediately upon grant and issue. 

How our audit addressed it 

Our audit procedures included: 

—  Determining the grant dates, and evaluating 

what were the most appropriate dates based on 
the terms and conditions of the share-based 
payment arrangements; 

—  Evaluating the fair values of share-based 
payment arrangements by reviewing the 
independent experts report;  

—  Evaluating the vesting of the share-based 

payments; 

There were significant subjectivities relating 
to the accounting for these options in this 
financial report, including: 

—  The determination of the grant date for 
the options and their vesting period for 
identifying the appropriate share price 
used in the formula for calculating the 
value of the option; 

—  For the specific application of the option pricing 
model, we assessed the experience of the 
external expert used to advise the value of the 
arrangement to management. We retested some 
of the key assumptions used in the model; and 

—  We considered that the forecast volatility applied 
in the model to be appropriately reasonable and 
within industry norms. 

We also assessed the adequacy of the Group’s 
disclosures in respect of share based payments in 
the financial report. 

—  Determining the volatility rate used in 
pricing the options and the selection 
and use of the Binomial model in 
computing the value of those options; 
and 

—  Reflecting the vested benefit attributed 
to key management personnel in 
disclosures in the financial report and in 
the Remuneration Report. 

The Group commissioned the use of an 
independent expert during the year to 
appraise the fair value of the options which 
were granted and issued.

TRANSACTION WITH MAWSON GOLD LIMITED 
Area of focus 
Refer also to notes 2, 8 and 15 
During the year the Group entered a 
strageic partnership with Mawson Gold 
Limited (“Mawson”).  

How our audit addressed it 

Our audit procedures included: 

—  Examining the contractual arrangement between 

Mawson and the Group; 

Under the terms of the transaction Mawson 
acquired a 10% shareholding in the Group.  
In consideration the Group received 8.5 
million shares in Mawson. 

—  Verifying that the Group has accounted for the 
transaction in accordance with AASB 9 – 
Financial Instruments at initial recognition; and 

—  Assessing the value of the Mawson investment 

Acccounting for this transaction in complex 
in nature under the requirements of AASB 9 
– financial instruments and therefore has
been disclosed as a key audit matter.

as at 30 June 2020 has been valued in 
accordance with AASB 13 – Fair Value 
Measurement, including the measurement 
hierarchy. 

We also assessed the adequacy of the Group’s 
disclosures in respect of share based payments in 
the financial report.

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.

information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the 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

Nagambie Resources Limited | 2020 Annual Report | Page 45

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 these financial statements is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
