Our Company

BCI Minerals Limited (ASX:BCI) (“BCI”) is an Australian-
based company that is developing a salt and potash 
business supported by iron ore royalty earnings.

BCI is focused on rapidly advancing its 100% owned 
Mardie Salt & Potash Project, a potential Tier 1 project 
located on the West Pilbara coast in the centre of 
Australia’s key salt production region. 

Mardie will produce high-purity salt (typically >99.5% 
NaCl) and sulphate of potash (“SOP”) (typically >51% K2O) 
via solar evaporation of seawater. Using an inexhaustible 
resource and a production process driven mainly by 
natural solar and wind energy, Mardie is a sustainable 
opportunity to supply the salt and potash growth markets 
in Asia over many decades.

The long-term demand outlook for both salt and SOP 
is positive. Salt is an essential mineral used extensively 
in modern life. High purity salt produced at Mardie will 
be used in chemical and industrial processes that create 
thousands of everyday products. Demand in this market 
segment, particularly in Asia, is expected to grow strongly 
over the next decade and result in a supply deficit. 

Increasing population and urbanisation requires more and 
better-quality food to be produced from less arable land. 
SOP is a premium fertiliser providing two key nutrients – 
potassium and sulphur – which improves plant growth 
and makes it drought resistant. SOP is mostly used on 
high value crops where yield increases deliver larger 
financial benefits. 

BCI is focused on rapidly advancing its 
100% owned Mardie Salt & Potash Project, 
a potential Tier 1 project located on 
the West Pilbara coast in the centre of 
Australia’s key salt production region. 

Following a positive Pre-Feasibility Study in 2018, a Definitive 
Feasibility Study on a 4Mtpa salt and 100ktpa SOP operation 
is underway and due to be completed in Q1 2020. Key 
approvals are expected to be in place by Q2 2020 and a 
Final Investment Decision is targeted by Q2 2020.

BCI receives quarterly royalty earnings from Iron Valley, 
an iron ore mine located in the Central Pilbara region of 
Western Australia which is operated by Mineral Resources 
Limited (ASX:MIN) (89Mt JORC Ore Reserve). BCI’s EBITDA 
from Iron Valley has ranged from A$5.6-18.3M per annum, 
with FY19 delivering A$12.3M.

Chairman’s Report

Dear Shareholders

I am pleased to present BCI Minerals’ 2019 annual report. 
Over the last 12 months, BCI has delivered a healthy net 
profit and made positive progress on advancing the Mardie 
Salt & Potash Project towards development.

The Mardie Project, which BCI considers a potential Tier 1 
project, is an attractive and unique opportunity to establish 
a long-term operation of significant scale on the Pilbara 
coast of Western Australia. 

BCI is planning to sustainably and competitively produce 
both salt and sulphate of potash (“SOP”) over an operating 
life of at least 60 years. Whilst salt production is a well-
established industry in Western Australia, there have been 
no new large-scale operations built in the last 20 years, 
and Mardie represents an excellent opportunity to capture 
some of the expected growth in Asian salt demand over 
the next decade. 

The long-term outlook for SOP fertiliser is also attractive 
given ongoing population growth and the reducing 
availability of land for agriculture, leading to higher crop 
yields being required. Mardie’s SOP production will form 
part of an emerging industry in Australia, which has no 
existing production. 

Overall, the Project has potential to provide shareholders 
with substantial value creation and long-term returns. 
Importantly, Mardie can also benefit a much broader range 
of stakeholders, including in the north-west region of 
Western Australia, through jobs, contracting opportunities 
and the payment of significant taxes and royalties over 
many decades.  

It was also a positive year for BCI’s iron ore business, with 
A$27M received from the sale of the Kumina tenements 
in late-2018 and improved iron ore market conditions 
delivering a healthy A$12.3M in EBITDA from the Iron Valley 
royalty in FY19.  

“The Company considers Mardie to be an 
attractive opportunity to create significant 
long-term shareholder value.”

I would like to thank BCI employees and the BCI Board 
for your ongoing contribution. I would particularly like that 
acknowledge the contribution of previous Board members, 
Andy Haslam and Martin Bryant, who resigned in late-2018 
after 7 years and 3 years respectively of valuable service. 

I would also like to acknowledge Iron Valley operator, 
Mineral Resources Limited, and our other business partners 
and stakeholders, including our shareholders, for their 
continued support of the Company through FY19, and into 
the current year.

The next 12 months is a critical phase in Mardie’s 
development. Significant work is underway to finalise the 
studies, approvals, offtake and funding solutions over this 
period. We are positive about the progress being made 
on all fronts, and remain committed to rapidly developing 
the Mardie Project for the benefits of shareholders and 
all stakeholders.

Managing Director’s Report

Dear Shareholders 

BCI’s long-term vision is to become a globally significant 
producer of industrial and agricultural minerals, and we 
plan to initially achieve this by developing the Tier 1 
Mardie Salt & Potash Project. 

The Mardie Project has a number differentiating points 
from existing and new salt and SOP projects. It would be 
the first salt operation in Australia producing SOP from 
further processing of waste from the salt operation. It 
would also be the only operation producing SOP from 
seawater and being located on the coast, will enjoy 
logistics and cost benefits compared to other prospective 
Western Australian SOP operations.

The Company’s activities during FY19 have been focused 
on completing the Mardie Project’s Definitive Feasibility 
Study (“DFS”) which includes detailed design and costing, 
securing tenure and approvals, developing offtake 
relationships and progressing financing solutions. 

The DFS commenced during FY19 following completion 
of the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”), with an initial aim of 
ensuring an optimal project development case was taken 
forward. A number of revisions to the PFS development 
case were adopted including increased production of 
4 million tonnes per annum of salt and 100,000 tonnes 
per annum of SOP, and export of both products from a 
new port facility at the Mardie site, effectively eliminating 
all road haulage costs. 

To that end, BCI released a positive PFS Optimisation 
Study on the improved development case in May 2019. 
Key financial metrics from the study included a pre-tax 
NPV10 of A$560M, pre-tax IRR of 20% and steady-
state EBITDA of A$155M per annum – all improvements 
relative to the PFS.1

Led by BCI’s Project Director, Tony Chamberlain, with 
support from engineering firms GR Engineering and 
Worley as well as a range of other contractors and service 
providers, the DFS is progressing well. At the time of 
writing, it is more than 60% complete and on track to be 
finished in early 2020. 

BCI has also progressed the Mardie environmental 
approvals process, with the draft Environmental Review 
Document being submitted to the Western Australian 
Environmental Protection Authority (“EPA”) in mid-2019. 
Following three years of environmental studies and 
ongoing engagement with the EPA, we are confident a 
project case has been established which appropriately 
protects the environmental values of the region, and are 
aiming to receive EPA endorsement by Q2 2020. 

Site activity at Mardie has increased significantly during FY19, 
with small-scale trial ponds and pan evaporators constructed 
to conduct site specific evaporation trials and produce raw 
salt samples for processing test work (SOP) and customer 
samples (salt and SOP). First raw NaCl salts have recently 
begun crystallising in the trial ponds.

Small-scale trial ponds at the Mardie Salt & Potash Project

Site activity is planned to ramp-up further during Q4 2019, 
with the BCI Board recently approving a A$15M large-
scale trial pond programme. This will involve construction 
of 2.3km of pond walls to establish a 32-hectare trial 
pond and construction of the main seawater intake 
facility with one out of the six large seawater pumps 
installed. The large-scale trial pond programme is an 
important de-risking exercise with a number of objectives 
including testing construction methods and materials for 
the pond walls and confirming pond floor permeability 
over a large area. 

Enhancing our understanding of the salt and SOP 
markets and developing offtake relationships has been 
an important activity during 2019. We have expanded 
our marketing capability through the appointment of an 
experience salt marketing executive with 20 years’ salt 
sales experience in Asia. We now have a good level of 
salt-specific experience in our project and marketing 
teams, enhancing the credibility of BCI as developer of 
the Mardie Project. 

Our ongoing market studies and customer engagement 
programmes continue to galvanise BCI’s view of a positive 
outlook for the salt and SOP markets over the next decade 
and customer interest in Mardie’s products. We have now 
agreed five salt MOUs with Asian chemical companies 
for more than 2Mtpa of production and have numerous 
other positive discussions ongoing for additional salt and 
SOP MOUs. Developing suitable offtake will be critical to 
securing funding for the Mardie Project. 

 Refer to BCI’s announcement dated 17 May 2019. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the production 
target and forecast financial information derived from the production target continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Iron Valley Mine

Initial funding discussions with potential debt and equity 
providers have been positive. After factoring in financing 
costs, interest during construction, working capital and 
appropriate overrun allowances, Mardie’s all-in funding 
requirement will likely be more than A$600M, depending 
on the final cost structure. BCI will aim to secure a large 
proportion of long tenor debt to manage shareholder 
dilution and with this in mind, the Northern Australia 
Infrastructure Facility (“NAIF”) or similar concessional 
long tenor financing sources will be key to the financing 
of Mardie. NAIF is a A$5b Federal Government initiative 
established to encourage development of projects in 
northern Australia. Mardie has successfully completed 
NAIF’s strategic assessment phase and is currently the 
subject of the due diligence phase. BCI is also actively 
discussing Mardie with a range of other potential financiers. 

To summarise, the high-level timeline for the Mardie 
Project is to finalise the DFS by early-2020, secure 
environmental approval by Q2 2020 and progress offtake 
and financing solutions to a level that will support a final 
investment decision during Q2 2020. 

Whilst the Mardie Project is BCI’s key focus, Iron Valley 
is also an important asset for the Company. Iron Valley 
operator, Mineral Resources Limited (“MIN”) continued 
to deliver solid operating results and an improvement 
in iron ore market conditions in the second half of FY19 
contributed towards BCI generating A$12.3M in EBITDA 
from Iron Valley in FY19. In testament to the turnaround in 
the iron ore market, half of the FY19 EBITDA was earned in 
the June 2019 quarter alone.

“The Mardie Salt & Potash Project, 
which is now considered BCI’s flagship 
development project, advanced 
materially during the year.”

BCI had success with its iron ore asset sale programme 
in late-2018, agreeing to sell the Kumina tenements to 
MIN for A$35M, of which an initial A$27M was received 
upon completion. Together with Iron Valley earnings, 
this has provided BCI with sufficient funding to reach 
a final investment decision for Mardie, based on the 
current timetable. 

Overall, the positive Iron Valley earnings and a gain on sale 
of Kumina of A$17.8M resulted in BCI returning to profit in 
FY19, with group EBITDA of A$16.2M and net profit after 
tax of A$12.9M. 

I’d like to thank the Board for its ongoing support and 
acknowledge BCI staff for their efforts to deliver on the 
Company’s objectives. I’d also like to express appreciation 
to our long-term shareholders, including major shareholder 
Wroxby Pty Ltd, who are prepared to be patient while we 
are creating a project with a multi-generational life. 

We are entering an important time in Mardie’s 
development and I believe we can establish a foundation 
for long-term value creation during this period.

Operations
Mardie Salt & Potash Project
BCI is focused on rapidly advancing its 100% owned 
Mardie Salt & Potash Project, a potential Tier 1 project 
located on the West Pilbara coast in the centre of 
Australia’s key salt production region. 

Mardie will produce high-purity salt (typically >99.5% 
NaCl) and sulphate of potash (“SOP”) (typically >51% K2O) 
via solar evaporation of seawater. Using an inexhaustible 
resource and a production process driven mainly by 
natural solar and wind energy, Mardie is a sustainable 
opportunity to supply the salt and potash growth markets 
in Asia over many decades.

A PFS Optimisation Study was concluded during the June 
2019 quarter, delivering an enhanced development case 
with improved project economics. The development case 
envisages salt production of 4Mtpa and SOP production of 
100ktpa over an operating life of 60 years, with salt and 
SOP product exported via a new port at Mardie. 

A Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) is currently underway 
and due to be completed in the March 2020 quarter, 
with DFS engineering approximately 30% complete as at 
30 June 2019. 

BCI is also progressing the approvals and tenure required 
for development of the Mardie Project. BCI submitted 
its Environmental Review Document in April 2019 and 
endorsement by the Environmental Protection Authority 
is targeted by early 2020. BCI has received in-principle 
approval from the Western Australian State Government 
for a new port at the Mardie site and BCI is now working 
closely with the Pilbara Ports Authority to establish the 
tenure and agreements required for the port. 

BCI is targeting a Final Investment Decision for the Mardie 
Project by end of the March 2020 quarter, once the DFS is 
complete and key approvals are in place. 

Iron Valley Iron Ore Mine
The Iron Valley Mine is operated by Mineral Resources 
Limited (“MIN”) under an ore purchase agreement with 
BCI. MIN operates the mine at its cost and purchases iron 
ore from BCI at the mine gate at a price linked to MIN’s 
received sales price. BCI is responsible for paying third 
party royalties related to the project and securing key 
approvals. 

During the financial year MIN shipped 7.4 million wet metric 
tonnes (“M wmt”) (June 2018: 6.1 wmt), which generated 
revenue for BCI of $54.3M (June 2018: $33.0M) and 
EBITDA of $12.3M (June 2018: $5.6M), which was made up 
of EBITDA for the current financial year shipments of $12.4M 
less a negative adjustment for final pricing for prior financial 
year shipments of $0.1M.

Other Assets
During the year BCI commenced a process to divest its 
other iron ore assets and exploration tenements, with the 
aim of providing additional funding and management time 
to advance the Mardie Salt & Potash Project.

Discussions are ongoing about potential transactions in 
relation to its other assets, which include the Bungaroo 
South tenements and the Cape Preston East port rights, 
known as the Buckland Project.

The Buckland Project is a 100% owned iron ore 
development project located in the West Pilbara, 
comprising a potential 8Mtpa mine at Bungaroo South, 
private haul road and 20Mtpa transhipment port facility 
at Cape Preston East. Bungaroo South and its satellite 
deposits have Mineral Resources of 283Mt at 56.5% 
Fe and Ore Reserves of 134Mt at 57.6% Fe. A definitive 
feasibility study was completed in 2014 and all key 
approvals and tenure are in place for the mine, road 
and port.

In October 2018, BCI entered into an agreement to sell the 
Kumina Iron Ore Project to MIN for total cash consideration 
of A$35M. The transaction completed in December 2018 
and BCI received the first cash payment of A$27M from 
MIN. A further two cash payments of A$4M each are due 
upon first export of iron ore from Kumina and 12 months 
after first export.

In the June 2019 quarter, BCI sold two Western 
Australian exploration tenement packages for a combined 
consideration of $1.2M.

BCI also has an interest in the Carnegie Potash Project, 
an SOP exploration project located approximately 220km 
north-east of Wiluna. BCI currently holds a 30% interest in 
a joint venture with Kalium Lakes Limited (“Kalium”) and 
has rights to earn up to a 50% interest. Kalium, the joint 
venture manager, completed a Scoping Study in July 2018 
and is proceeding with a staged Pre-Feasibility Study, with 
the current focus on securing tenure and access to all 
required tenements.

Environmental Regulation 
BCI is committed to minimising its environmental impact, 
with an appropriate focus on continuous monitoring 
of environmental matters and compliance with 
environmental regulations.

BCI’s exploration, mining and development activities 
are the subject of various State and Commonwealth 
environmental regulations. Compliance with these 
environmental regulations is managed through the 
Environment and Heritage Management System and a 
series of other tools used to identify, analyse and control 
key risks associated with the environmental impact 
from the Company’s activities. A compliance program 
is implemented on an annual basis to ensure correct 
data is being gathered to measure the impacts to the 
environment and periodic reviews (inspections and audits) 
are conducted to assess performance against agreed 
regulatory targets.

During the year, BCI submitted a number of reports and 
compliance statements to State and Federal regulatory 
bodies detailing BCI’s performance against granted 
approvals. This includes all Annual Environmental Reports, 
Annual Compliance Reports, Compliance Assessment 
Reports and Emissions Reports which were all submitted 
on time and endorsed by the regulators. 

There have been no material breaches of the Company’s 
licences, permits and approvals during the financial year.

Review of Results
Statement of profit or loss
The Company’s profit after income tax for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 was $12.9M (June 2018: loss $16.9M ), 
which is a result of increased Iron Valley earnings driven by higher iron ore pricing and higher shipping volumes, the gain 
arising on the sale of Kumina and other exploration tenements offset by increased expenditure on developing the Mardie 
Salt and Potash Project. 

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s statement of profit and loss:

Remuneration and Nomination Committee
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee (“RNC”) is a committee of the Board comprised of two independent Non-
Executive Directors, being Mr Blakiston (Chairman) and Ms Bloom.

The role of the RNC is to assist the Board to fulfil its responsibilities with respect to employee and director remuneration, 
and board composition and diversity, by making recommendations to the Board on: 
•  The Company’s People Policy which sets out the Company’s approach to Remuneration, Diversity and Privacy;
•  A Remuneration Framework which enables the Company to attract, retain and motivate high quality senior executives 

who create value for shareholders; and

•  The selection, composition, performance and appointment of members of the Board so that it is effective and able to 

operate in the best interests of shareholders.

Remuneration Standard
The Remuneration Standard of the Company aims to:
•  Reward employees fairly and responsibly in accordance with the Australian market; 
•  Provide competitive rewards that attract, retain and motivate employees;
•  Ensure incentives provide fair reward in line with company and individual performance to deliver on the current and long 

term strategic objectives; and

•  Ensure a level of equity and consistency across BCI and alignment with BCI’s culture.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration
Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the 
Directors and are reviewed annually by the Board. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination 
of his own remuneration. 

Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval 
by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $900,000 in aggregate and was approved by shareholders at the 
annual general meeting on 19 November 2014. This amount is separate from any specific tasks the directors or their 
related entities may take on for the Company. 

Fixed Remuneration

Non-Executive Directors’ fixed remuneration comprise the following:
•  Cash remuneration; and
•  Superannuation.

Performance Rights

At the November 2017 general meeting, shareholders approved the grant of 200,000 Performance Rights to Ms Bloom 
subject to Performance Conditions disclosed in the 2018 Annual Report.

All of the Performance Rights lapsed during the year.

Executive Remuneration
The objective of the Company’s executive remuneration is to ensure reward for performance is market competitive and 
appropriate for the results delivered. The executive remuneration is aligned with achievement of strategic and project 
objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. 

The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria in line with appropriate corporate 
governance practices:
•  Competitiveness and reasonableness;
•  Acceptability to shareholders;
•  Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation;
•  Transparency; and
•  Prudent capital management.

Fixed Remuneration

The components of executives’ fixed remuneration are determined individually and may include:
•  Cash remuneration; 
•  Superannuation; and
•  Insurances, parking and other benefits.

Variable Remuneration

Short-term Incentives
Executives may receive a short-term incentive (“STI”) of up to 20-70% of their fixed remuneration. The STI is an “at risk” 
component of remuneration and payment may, at the Board’s discretion, be in cash and/or equity. Measurement will be 
based on performance against annually agreed key performance indicators (“KPIs”). These KPIs will typically be aligned to 
specific operating and corporate objectives in relation to each financial year.

For the 2019 financial year, the Board exercised its discretion to award an STI based on the KPIs achieved during the year. 
Executive KMP were in aggregate awarded an STI cash incentive of $227,125 (25% of their aggregate annual salary). The 
amount of the STI was included in the Company’s financials for the 2019 year and was paid after year-end in the 2020 
financial year.

For the 2018 financial year, the Board exercised its discretion to award an STI based on the KPIs achieved during year. 
Executive KMP were, in aggregate, awarded an STI cash incentive of $131,236 (17% of their aggregate annual salary). The 
amount of the STI was included in the Company’s financials for the 2018 year and was paid after year-end in the 2019 
financial year.

Long-term Incentives
Longer term incentive awards will occur through the Performance Rights Plan (“PRP”). The PRP will form part of an “at risk” 
component of remuneration and Performance Rights will generally have a vesting period longer than one year. Performance 
hurdles will be based on company share price and/or other relevant shareholder return measures. The PRP will operate 
entirely at the discretion of the Company’s Board and may be terminated, suspended or amended at any time, or from time 
to time, in it’s entirely or in part in relation to any or all employees (except where contractual rights have been created). 

At the November 2017 general meeting, shareholders approved the grant of Performance Rights to the Managing Director, 
Alwyn Vorster. The Performance Rights were issued on 29 November 2017 and are subject to the Performance Conditions 
disclosed in the 2018 Annual Report.

Performance Rights were issued to KMP on 21 August 2017 and 23 August 2018 are subject to the Performance 
Conditions disclosed in the 2018 Annual Report in respect of the 21 August 2017 issue.

Use of Remuneration Consultants
The Board and Remuneration Committee reviews executive remuneration annually, including assessment of:
•  Advice from independent external remuneration consultants;
•  Individual and business performance measurement against both internal targets and appropriate external comparatives; and
•  General remuneration advice from both internal and independent external sources.
In the current financial year, the Board did not utilise an external remuneration consultant to provide a comprehensive 
benchmarking review. Industry remuneration data has been sourced through Aon Hewitt, the McDonald Gold and General 
Mining Industry Remuneration report for the benchmarking of new positions and projected industry market movements. 

Share Trading Policy
The trading of shares by all employees is subject to, and conditional upon, compliance with the Company’s share trading 
policy which is available on the Company’s website: www.bciminerals.com.au. Directors and employees may not engage in 
short-term or speculative trading of the Company’s securities and are prohibited from trading in financial products issued 
or created over, or in respect of the Company’s securities during a non-trading period.

BCI Minerals Limited and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2019

Preface to the notes
The notes include information which is required to understand the financial statements and is material and relevant to the 
operations and the financial position and performance of the Company. Information is considered relevant and material if:
•  The amount is significant due to its size or nature;
•  The amount is important in understanding the results of the Company;
•  It helps to explain the impact of significant changes in the Company’s business; or
•  It relates to an aspect of the Company’s operations that is important to its future performance.
The notes are organised into the following sections:
•  Basis of preparation;
•  Key numbers;
•  Capital;
•  Risk management;
•  Group structure;
•  Unrecognised items; and
•  Other notes.

Basis of preparation

Corporate information

The financial statements for BCI Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019 were authorised for issue in accordance 
with a resolution of the Directors on 23 August 2019. BCI Minerals Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in 
Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. BCI Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries 
together are referred to in these financial statements as the ‘Company’ or the ‘Consolidated Entity’.

The principal activities of the Company during the financial year were the development of assets in the Pilbara region of 
Western Australia, including the Mardie Salt & Potash Project. The Company also receives revenue from the Iron Valley Iron 
Ore Mine under the terms of an Iron Ore Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Basis of preparation

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out in the notes to the 
accounts. These policies have been consistently applied to all the financial years presented, unless otherwise stated.

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”), and the Corporations Act 2001. BCI Minerals 
Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. The Company is of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations 
(Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument 
amounts in the directors’ report and annual financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless 
otherwise indicated.

BCI Minerals Limited Annual Report 2019

Compliance with IFRS

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

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the 
revaluation of financial assets and cash flow hedges at fair value through other comprehensive income.

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

New and amended standards adopted by the group 
A number of new or amended standards become applicable for the current reporting period and the group had to change 
its accounting policies as a result of adopting the following standards:
•  AASB 9 Financial Instruments (Note 6); and
•  AASB 15 Revenue from Contract with Customers (Note 1).
The impact of the adoption of these standards did not have any material impact on the group’s accounting policies and did 
not require retrospective adjustments.

Changes in accounting policy, estimates disclosures, standards and interpretations

Except for matters relating to the adoption of new Australian Accounting Standards referred to above, the accounting 
policies adopted and estimates made are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

Foreign currency

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of 
the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the 
translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 
recognised in profit or loss.

Comparatives

Where applicable, comparatives have been adjusted to conform with current year presentation.

Key estimates and judgements

In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements and 
applied estimates of future events. Judgements and estimates which are material to the financial report are found in the 
following notes:

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the gross consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised if it meets 
the criteria outlined below.

Sales – Iron Valley
Revenue from contracts with customers for the sale of goods is recognised when persuasive evidence, usually in the form 
of an executed sales agreement, or an arrangement exists, indicating there has been a transfer of control to the customer, 
no further work or processing is required by the Company, the quantity and quality of the goods has been determined with 
reasonable accuracy, the price can be reasonably estimated, and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company receives revenue from Mineral Resources Limited (“MIN”) based on a mine gate sale agreement based 
on MIN’s realised price. The Company recognises revenue when the ore passes over the ships rail which is typically at 
the bill of lading. MIN send monthly shipping information based on either a provisional basis at the date of shipment or 
the subsequent final pricing, which is typically once the vessel has arrived at its destination and quotation pricing has 
been determined. BCI recognises revenue on provisionally priced sales based on the estimated fair value of the total 
consideration, which is adjusted for any changes when pricing is finalised. Provisionally priced sales for which price 
finalisation is referenced to the relevant metal price index have an embedded commodity derivative. The embedded 
derivative is carried at fair value through profit and loss as part of trade receivables. The period between provisional pricing 
and final invoices is typically approximately 30 to 90 days.

Interest revenue
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method.

Note 3 – Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

Accounting policy

Assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that 
the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which an asset’s carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

The valuation used by BCI to determine recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal 
(“FVLCD”) and value in use (“VIU”).

Accounting standards require that the valuation technique used be consistent with one of three commonly accepted 
approaches outlined below: 
•  Level 1 Market - The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions 
involving identical or comparable (i.e. similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business. 
Examples relevant to BCI include earnings multiples or JORC reserve/resource multiples;

•  Level 2 Cost - The cost approach reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of 

an asset (often referred to as current replacement cost); and

•  Level 3 Income - The income approach converts future amounts (e.g. cash flows or income and expenses) to a single 

current (i.e. discounted) amount. When the income approach is used, the fair value measurement reflects current market 
expectations about those future amounts. Examples include Net Present Value (“NPV”) techniques.

FVLCD is an NPV calculation which is consistent with the Level 3 income approach.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-
generating units). 

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which an asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that have been impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of impairment at each 
reporting period.

Impairment assessment

The Company has completed its annual review of its assets for impairment. Based on these assessments, the Company has 
concluded that impairment of assets was not required.

Revenue assumptions

Cash flow projections used to estimate recoverable amounts include assumptions on revenue. The assumptions used for 
revenue in impairment testing are summarised below:

CFR 62% Fe iron ore price (USD/dmt, nominal)

Years 1-5

Years 6-10

Years 11-20

Foreign exchange rate (AUD:USD, nominal)

Years 1-5

The recoverable amount of mine property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is estimated on the basis of the 
discounted value of future cash flows. The estimates of future cash flows are based on significant assumptions including:
•  estimates of the quantities of ore reserves and mineral resources for which there is a high degree of confidence of 

economic extraction and the timing of access to these reserves and resources;

•  future iron ore prices and exchange rates based on forecasts by a range of recognised economic forecasters as well as 

recent spot prices and rates;

•  production rates, production costs and capital expenditure based on approved budgets and projections including 

inflation factors;

•  the timing of when production will commence from projects for which royalties are payable to the Company; and 
•  the asset specific discount rate applicable to the cash generating unit.

The income tax expense on income for the financial year is the tax payable on the current financial period’s taxable income 
based on the national income tax rate, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary 
differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases 
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. 

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the 
statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or 
the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and 
liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are 
offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the 
asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

Significant judgement

The Company is subject to income taxes in Australia. Significant judgement is required in determining the provisions for 
income taxes. There are certain transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which 
the ultimate tax determination may be subject to change. The Company estimates its tax liabilities based on the Company’s 
understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially 
recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such 
determination is made. 

The Company recognises deferred tax assets relating to carried forward tax losses to the extent they can be utilised. The 
utilisation of the tax losses depends on the ability of the entities to generate sufficient future taxable profits. At 30 June 
2019, the Company had unrecognised deferred tax assets relating to tax losses of $73.1M (2018: $76.0M). The Company 
also has an R&D off-set available of $5.7M (2018 $5.7M).

Due to the short-term nature of current receivables, their carrying amount is approximate to their fair value.

As at 30 June 2019 no receivables were past due or impaired (2018: Nil).

Other current receivables include $36k for GST receivable (2018: $16k). Other non-current receivables represent an estimate of the 
amount payable by the operator of the Iron Valley operation for fulfilment of rehabilitation obligations at the end of operations.

Refer to Note 17 for information on the Financial risk management policy of the Company.

Accounting policy

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for commodities sold in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade Receivables that are Provisionally Priced
Trade receivables that contain an embedded derivative relating to the provisional pricing of iron ore are measured at fair value. 
At each reporting date the provisional priced receivable is marked to market based on the forward selling price for the quotation 
period stipulated in the contract until the quotation period expires and the change in value is recognised in the profit or loss.

Other Trade Receivables
Trade receivables that do not contain an embedded derivative are measured at the amount of consideration that is 
unconditional. The Group holds trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and measures them 
at amortised cost.

The Group applies the simplified impairment methodology permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to 
be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

Mine Properties
Once a mining project has been established as commercially viable and technically feasible, expenditure other than that 
on land, buildings, plant and equipment is transferred and capitalised as mine property. Mine property costs include past 
capitalised exploration and evaluation costs, pre-production development costs, development excavation, development 
studies and other subsurface and permanent installation expenditure pertaining to that area of interest.

Mine property costs are accumulated in respect of each separate area of interest. Costs associated with commissioning 
new assets in the period before they are capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are capitalised. 
Mine property costs incurred after the commencement of production are capitalised to the extent they are expected to give 
rise to a future economic benefit.

When an area of interest is abandoned, or the Directors decide that it is not commercial or technically feasible, any 
accumulated cost in respect of that area is written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is 
reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs written off to the profit or loss to the extent that 
they will not be recoverable in the future.

Amortisation of mine property costs is charged on a unit of production basis over the life of economically recoverable 
reserves once production commences.

Mine property assets are assessed for impairment if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the 
recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, mine property is allocated to cash-generating units to which 
the development activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.

Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment, including mechanical, electrical, field and computer equipment as well as furniture, fixtures and 
fittings, is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly 
attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the net cost 
of each asset over either its expected useful life of 2.5 to 5 years for furniture, computers and equipment, or the life of the 
mine for plant and equipment. 

Spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment is classified as property, plant and equipment if they are 
expected to be used during more than one period. Otherwise they are classified as inventory.

Key judgement – ore reserves and mineral resources

Amortisation of mine property assets is based on the depletion of economically recoverable reserves. The rate of 
amortisation is re-assessed on a prospective basis when ore reserves are changed for the appropriate ore body in 
accordance with the JORC 2012 Guidelines.

The Company accounts for exploration and evaluation activities as follows:

Acquisition and Exploration earn-in
Exploration and evaluation costs arising from acquisitions and earn-ins are carried forward where exploration and 
evaluation activities have not, at reporting date, reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment of economically 
recoverable reserves otherwise they are written down to their recoverable amount.

Exploration and evaluation costs
Costs arising from on-going exploration and evaluation activities are expensed as incurred. 

Disposal of tenements

As announced on 21 December 2018, the Company completed the sale of the Kumina tenements, originally acquired 
from Mineralogy Pty Ltd in September 2017, to Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN) for total consideration of A$35M 
cash including a first cash payment of A$27M received in December 2018, resulting in a gain of $17.8M. A further two 
cash payments of A$4M each are due upon first export of iron ore from Kumina and twelve months after first export. No 
receivable has been recognised for these payments as development of the Kumina mine is yet to be announced by MIN. 

In addition to the sale of Kumina, other tenement sales during the year have resulted in an overall profit on sale of 
exploration tenements of $19.0M.

Key judgement – Capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Company has capitalised acquired exploration and evaluation expenditure and earn-in expenditure on the basis that 
either it is expected to be recouped through future successful development (or alternatively sale) of the areas of interest 
concerned or on the basis that it is not yet possible to assess whether it will be recouped. The future recoverability of 
capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Company 
decides to exploit the related lease itself, or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation 
asset through sale.

Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, 
costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental rehabilitation 
obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

BCI currently holds a 30% interest in the Carnegie Potash in a joint venture with ASX-listed potash development company, 
Kalium Lakes Limited (“KLL”), who is the joint venture manager. BCI has rights to earn up to a 50% interest through sole-
funding the Pre-Feasibility Study and Feasibility Study phases.

The intangible assets were acquired through Iron Ore Holdings Limited as follows:

Royalties 

The Company holds royalties over the Koodaideri South and North Marillana Extension tenements. The assets have a finite 
life reflecting the underlying resource and will be amortised as the resource is depleted. Production has not commenced at 
either Koodaideri South or North Marillana and hence the assets remain unamortised. 

The Koodaideri South royalty asset has been tested for impairment with the recoverable amount assessed by reference to 
the FVLCD, in line the policy in note 3 and classified as level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. FVLCD was determined using 
an income approach based on the net present value of future cash flows projected over the estimated mine life of 32 
years. The pre-tax nominal discount rate used in determining FVLCD was 11.2%. Forecast iron ore price, foreign exchange 
and inflation assumptions used in the calculation of FVLCD are summarised in Note 3.

The North Marillana Extension royalty asset has been tested for impairment with the recoverable amount assessed by 
reference to the FVLCD, in line with the policy in note 3 and classified as level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. FVLCD was 
determined using an income approach based on the net present value of future cash flows projected over the estimated 
mine life of 10 years. The pre-tax nominal discount rate used in determining FVLCD was 11.2%. Forecast iron ore price, 
foreign exchange and inflation assumptions used in the calculation of FVLCD are summarised in Note 3.

The recoverable amounts were determined to be in excess of carrying values, and there are no reasonably possible 
changes in key assumptions that would cause the asset to be impaired. Refer to Note 3 for details of the key estimates and 
judgements applied in determining the recoverable amount.

Port lease rights

The Company holds a lease at the Cape Preston East Port and a value has been ascribed to the intellectual property 
associated with developing this port. The port is yet to be developed and the intangible asset will be amortised once the 
port is operational.

The Company has tested the asset for impairment with the recoverable amount assessed by reference to the FVLCD of 
the Buckland project, in line with the policy in note 3 and classified as level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. FVLCD for the 
Buckland project including mineral assets and the port access rights was determined by estimating cash flows over the 
project life of approximately 12 years. The pre-tax nominal discount rate used in determining FVLCD was 12.2%. Forecast 
iron ore price, foreign exchange and inflation assumptions used in the calculation of FVLCD are summarised in Note 3. 

The recoverable amount was determined to be in excess of carrying value, and there are no reasonably possible changes 
in key assumptions that would cause the asset to be impaired. Refer to Note 3 for details of the key estimates and 
judgements applied in determining the recoverable amount.

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, it is 
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. 

Employee benefits, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of 
the reporting date are recognised in respect of employee’s services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the 
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Employee benefits – long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at 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 salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected 
future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and 
currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position if the entity does not have an 
unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual 
settlement is expected to occur.

Rehabilitation
The Company has obligations to dismantle and remove certain items of property, plant and equipment and to restore and 
rehabilitate the land on which they are situated.

A provision is raised for the estimated cost of settling the rehabilitation and restoration obligations existing at balance date, 
discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. When provisions for rehabilitation are initially recognised, 
the corresponding cost is capitalised as an asset within mine properties and amortised accordingly.

Where rehabilitation is conducted systematically over the life of the operation, rather than at the time of closure, costs are 
charged to the profit or loss in the period in which the work is undertaken.

At each reporting date the rehabilitation liability is re-measured to account for any new disturbance, updated cost estimates, 
changes to the estimated lives of operations, new regulatory requirements and revisions to discount rates. Changes to the 
rehabilitation liability are added to or deducted from the related rehabilitation asset and amortised accordingly.

Key estimate – Rehabilitation

The Company’s accounting policy for the recognition of rehabilitation provisions requires significant estimates in determining 
the estimated cost for the rehabilitation of disturbed areas, removal of infrastructure and site closure at a point in the future. 
These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided. 

A provision is made for the estimated cost to rehabilitate the Iron Valley site, which is offset by a receivable from Mineral 
Resources Limited recognising the contractual requirement to rehabilitate the site.

Note 12 – Capital Risk Management
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so that it 
can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital 
structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the 
amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 
The Company defines capital as equity and net debt. Net debt is defined as borrowings less cash and cash equivalents, 
and equity as the sum of share capital, reserves and accumulated losses/retained earnings.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recorded in 
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

Terms and conditions of ordinary shares

Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote 
per share at shareholders’ meetings. In the event of winding up of the Company, ordinary shareholders rank after all other 
shareholders and creditors are fully entitled to any proceeds of liquidations.

The share based payments reserve is used to recognise the fair value of options (not exercised), Performance Rights and 
equity-settled benefits issued in settlement of share issue costs.

Changes in the fair value of investments such as equities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, are 
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. On adoption of AASB 9 
Financial Instruments investments in listed shares previously classified as available-for-sale were reclassified as financial 
assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. 

The options exercised reserve is used to recognise the fair value of options exercised.

Market (including foreign exchange, commodity price and interest rate risk), credit and liquidity risks arise in the normal 
course of the Company’s business. Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risk rests with senior 
management under directives approved by the Board.

a. Market risk

i. Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commitments, assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency that is 
not the functional currency in which they are measured. The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk on trade 
receivables.

ii. Commodity price risk
The Company’s revenue is exposed to commodity price fluctuations, specifically iron ore prices. The Company measures 
exposure to commodity price risk by monitoring and stress testing the Company’s forecast financial position to sustained 
periods of low iron ore prices on a regular basis.

Trade receivables outstanding at year end are subject to potential changes in future iron ore prices.

b. Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with financial institutions, and from receivables from 
customers for iron ore sales. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating 
of “A” are accepted in accordance with ratings guidelines of major global credit rating agencies. For customers, credit 
reference checks are undertaken. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any 
allowances for losses, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the fair value 
of any collateral or other security obtained.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised at 
the beginning of this note.

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be summarised as follows:
•  Cash and cash equivalents $33.7M (2018: $13.1M) held with banks with minimum long term external credit rating of AA-.
•  Short term investments $0.3M (2018: $nil) held with banks with a minimum long term external credit rating of AA-
•  Current trade and other receivables $22.2M (2018: $7.2M) due from existing customers are backed by an agreement 

with quarterly invoices paid within 5 working days. There has been no history of default in the past.

•  Non-current receivables $8.3M (2018: $5.6M) due from Mineral Resources Limited under a contractual arrangement as 

described in Note 11. No default is expected.

c. Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity management involves the maintenance of sufficient cash and access to capital markets. It is the policy 
of the Board to ensure that the Company is able to meet its financial obligations and maintain the flexibility to pursue 
attractive investment opportunities through keeping committed credit lines available where possible, ensuring the Company 
has sufficient working capital and preserving the 15% share issue limit available to the Company under the ASX Listing 
Rules.

Maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities

Financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables which have a maturity of less than six months.

entity when the Company 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. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from 
the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of an asset 
transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by the Consolidated Entity.

On 1 March 2017, Michael Blakiston was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr Blakiston is a partner in 
the legal firm Gilbert + Tobin. During the current financial year, the Company made legal fee payments to Gilbert + Tobin of 
$445K (2018: $207K). All transactions were on normal commercial terms and conditions.

Note 26 – Share Based Payments
During the 2011-2019 financial years, the Company provided share based payments to employees only, whereas in the 
2010 financial year they were also granted to consultants and financers. An employee share option incentive plan was 
approved at the shareholder’s annual general meeting of 16 November 2011. An Employee Performance Rights Plan was 
initially approved at the shareholder’s annual general meeting of 19 November 2010 and a revised plan was approved at 
the Company’s 2016 annual general meeting.

Under the terms of these plans, the Board may offer options and Performance Rights at no more than nominal 
consideration to employees or directors (the latter subject to shareholder approval) based on a number of criteria, including 
contribution to the Company, period of employment, potential contribution to the Company in the future and other factors 
the Board considers relevant. These long-term incentives are provided to certain employees at the discretion of the Board to 
deliver long-term shareholder returns. Set out below is a summary of the Performance Rights granted by the Company.

Employee Performance Rights

During the year the Company issued share based payments in the form of Performance Rights to directors and employees 
as per below. Refer to the Remuneration Report in the Directors’ Report for more information.

The fair value of share based payments granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding 
increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees 
become unconditionally entitled to the options or Performance Rights.

A Monte Carlo simulation is used to value Performance Rights. The Monte Carlo calculation simulates the Company’s share 
price and depending on the hurdle arrives at a value based on the number of Performance Rights that are likely to vest. 

The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate of the options 
and Performance Rights. The impact of revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the profit or loss with a 
corresponding adjustment to equity.

Key estimate: Share-based payment costs

The cost of share-based payments to financiers is measured by reference to the difference between the nominal value and 
net present value of the finance facility provided. The net present value is determined based upon a market comparable 
discount rate applicable to similar size companies within the mining sector.

A Monte Carlo simulation has been used to value Performance Rights. The Monte Carlo calculation simulates the returns 
of the Company in relation to the peer group and arrives at a value based on the number of Performance Rights that are 
likely to vest.

Note 27 – Other Accounting Policies

Summary of other significant accounting policies

Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, except where the GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset 
or as part of the expense item. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable, where an invoice has been 
issued. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included within receivables or 
payables in the statement of financial position.

The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from or payable to 
the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority.

Fair value
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between 
market participants at the measurement date. It is based on the presumption that the transaction takes place either in 
the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. 
The principal or most advantageous market must be accessible to, or by, the Company. Fair value is measured using the 
assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in 
their best economic interest.

The fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account the market participant’s ability to generate 
economic benefits by using the asset at its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would 
use the asset at its highest and best use.

In measuring fair value, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise 
the use of unobservable inputs.

Tax consolidation legislation
BCI Minerals Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have entered into the tax consolidation legislation. 
On adoption of the tax consolidation legislation, the entities in the tax consolidated group entered into a tax sharing 
agreement which, limits the joint and several liability of the wholly owned entities in the case of a default by the head 
entity, BCI Minerals Limited. 

The entities entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly owned entities fully compensate BCI Minerals 
Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by BCI Minerals Limited for any current tax receivable 
and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to BCI Minerals Limited 
under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in 
the wholly owned entities’ financial statements.

The amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the 
head entity, which where appropriate, is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity 
may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. The funding 
amounts are recognised as current intercompany receivables or payables.

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 

The following applicable accounting standards, amendment of standards and interpretations have recently been issued but 
are not yet effective. These standards have not been adopted by the Company as at the financial reporting date.

Standard title

AASB 16 Leases

Application date  
of the standard

Periods beginning 
on or after 
1 January 2019

Summary

If a lessee has significant operating leases outstanding at the 
date of initial application, right-of-use assets will be recognised 
for the amount of the unamortised portion of the useful life, 
and lease liabilities will be recognised at the present value of 
the outstanding lease payments. 

This will increase EBITDA as operating leases that were 
previously expensed will be amortised as a right-of-use asset, 
and an interest expense on the lease liability. However, there 
will be an overall reduction in net profit before tax in the early 
years of a lease because the amortisation and interest charges 
will exceed the current straight-line expense incurred under 
AASB 117 Leases. This trend will reverse in the later years. 

There will be no change to the accounting treatment for short-
term leases less than 12 months and leases of low value items, 
which will continue to be expensed on a straight-line basis.

Impact on Company’s 
financial report

The Company has considered 
this standard and identified that 
future contractual arrangements 
will impact on the financial 
statements with new leases for 
operating premises giving rise 
to a right of use asset. 

Current contractual 
arrangements will not be 
impacted by the standard as 
the Company will elect to apply 
certain practical expedients in 
the standard on transition.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of BCI Minerals Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

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

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

(i)

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

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion

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

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

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

Key audit matters

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

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 2019, 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.

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:

http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
