Two of the company’s projects have been the focus for the year, being the Pinnacles JV gold project and the Wallbrook gold project. Pinnacles JV Gold Project The Pinnacles JV gold project is a joint venture with partner Saracen Minerals Holdings, with the current holding being Nexus 90% / Saracen 10%. The project is located 120km northeast of Kalgoorlie and 13km south of Saracen’s Carosue Dam mining operation. Nexus completed a mineral resource upgrade on the Pinnacles JV Gold project (“Pinnacles JV”). The updated JORC 2012 combined mineral resource of 609,000t @ 4.0g/t Au for 78,000 ounces. The mineral resource consists of potential open pit resource of 159,000t @ 2.4 g/t Au for 12,000 ounces and underground resource of 450,000t @ 4.6 g/t Au for 66,000 ounces. Following this successful mineral resource upgrade Nexus commissioned an independent scoping study. The positive results of this study paving the way for the project to advance rapidly with the commencement of a feasibility study. Nexus has launched in the second half of 2020 extensive RC and diamond drilling programs and multiple studies as part of this feasibility study for the Pinnacles JV gold project. Wallbrook Gold Project Nexus also continued to actively explore the highly prospective Wallbrook Gold Project (“Wallbrook”). In July 2019, following RC drilling at the Crusader Prospect a JORC 2012 combined mineral resource estimate of 2.17Mt @1.22 g/t Au for 85,000 ounces was announced. During the year first pass aircore drilling of the Templar prospect corridor, immediately north of Crusader, delivered positive results; Hole #19 – 3 m @8.37 g/t Au (eoh) Incl 1m @24.43 g/t Au (eoh) Hole #35 – 18m @1.4 g/t Au Incl 4m @ 6.46g/t Au Hole #17 – 26m @1.02 g/t Au Incl 4m @5.03 g/t Au Hole #36 – 8m 1.72 g/t Au Incl 3m @3.27 g/t Au (eoh) Hole #14 – 4m @2.23g/t Au These results are being followed up with a high impact RC drill program in the September quarter of 2020. The Company continues to maintain a strong financial position and held $2.44 million in cash as at 30 June 2020. Nexus completed a capital raising post 30 June 2020 which was strongly supported by the markets and raised a further $3.38 million. Finally, I would like to thank Nexus shareholders for their support during the past twelve months. I am pleased with the progress made to date and excited by what the Company aims to achieve in the next 12 months with its Pinnacles JV and Wallbrook gold projects. Paul Boyatzis Chairman For and on behalf of the Board 3 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations Exploration Nexus Minerals Ltd (“Nexus” or “the Company”) provides this Review of Operations report. Nexus’ strategy has been, and continues to be, to invest and actively explore gold exploration and development assets. In line with the Company’s strategy, Nexus has acquired and is currently evaluating two significant landholding projects in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Being the Pinnacles JV gold project and the Wallbrook gold project. Nexus had previously entered into a Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement with successful ASX-listed gold producer Saracen Gold Mines Pty Ltd (“Saracen”), a subsidiary of Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited, over the Pinnacles JV Gold Project (“Pinnacles JV”) in September 2015. After five years of exploration activities on the JV tenement, Nexus now holds an 90% interest in the tenement JV (Saracen 10%). The Company also holds the Pinnacles Gold Project (“PGP”), with tenements that cover approximately 125km2 and encapsulate the Pinnacles JV Project. The Pinnacles JV is currently the subject of a feasibility study. The Wallbrook Gold Project (“Wallbrook”) was acquired from multiple entities in 2018, and now consists of a total contiguous package of some 250km2. The Wallbrook tenement package is considered highly prospective for the discovery of significant gold mineralisation. Figure 1: Nexus Minerals Project Locations 4 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations Pinnacles Gold Project The Pinnacles Gold Project covers approximately 125km2. The tenement area is immediately to the south of Saracen Gold Mines’ Carosue Dam Operation (CDO), which includes the Karari underground gold mine currently in operation. During the year, Saracen produced 203,281 ounces of gold from CDO. CDO contains a current mineral resource base of 4.60Moz and ore reserves of 2.0Moz. Karari and Whirling Dervish mines alone contain 1.87Moz of resources and 1.00Moz of reserves. The Pinnacles Regional tenement package surrounds the Pinnacles JV tenement (Figure 2). Nexus regional tenement package is contiguous with Saracen’s Carosue Dam mining tenements, which includes the Karari and Whirling Dervish gold mines. The Pinnacles Gold Project area is considered to be prospective for gold mineralisation. Figure 2: Pinnacles Gold Project Pinnacles JV (Blue) surrounded by Pinnacles Regional Tenement Package (Red). 5 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations Pinnacles JV Gold Project The Pinnacles JV is a mining tenement located 13km to the south of Saracen’s Carosue Dam Gold Mining Operation. Nexus is in a contributing Joint Venture with successful ASX-listed gold producer Saracen. Nexus now holds a 90% interest in the tenement JV and Saracen 10%. During the year an updated mineral resource estimate was produced, leading to a Scoping Study that provided positive results. This justified Nexus committing to the next stage of exploration and development by progressing to a Feasibility Study. The Feasibility Study will incorporate additional resource definition drilling, geotechnical drilling, environmental studies and metallurgical test work along with other key assessments and permitting. Results from the Feasibility Study are expected late in 2020. The updated JORC 2012 combined mineral resource estimate of 609,000t @ 4.0g/t Au for 78,000 ounces (see ASX announcement 27/2/2020) is in line with the Company’s previous estimate of 550,000t @ 4.6g/t Au for 82,000 ounces (see ASX announcement 13/10/2016). The 22 additional drill holes, drilled in December 2016 (see ASX announcement 7/2/2017), were targeting zones within the previous resource outline where a greater drill density was required to convert the existing inferred ounces to indicated status. This was achieved with the new total estimate containing 53% Indicated Mineral Resource. Importantly the resource from surface down to 200m contains >90% Indicated Mineral Resources. The additional drill hole data has also allowed for a more selective interpretation of the geological controls on the mineralisation. Further geotechnical, metallurgical and hydro-geological test work in addition to environmental base-line studies, are being undertaken to assist in determining mine development options.

There has been insufficient exploration and technical studies to estimate an Ore Reserve and it is uncertain if further exploration and/or technical studies will result in the estimation of an Ore Reserve. The potential for the development of a mining operation and sale of ore from the Pinnacles JV Gold Project has yet to be established. 7 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations Figure 4: Cross Section through northern end of resource Figure 5: Cross Section through Centre of Resource 8 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations The Pinnacles East gold resource drill programs have successfully tested for depth and strike extensions to the high- grade gold mineralisation identified by previous operators. The work undertaken by Nexus being a combination of RC drilling, and RC drill pre-collars with diamond core tails. The Pinnacles East Mineral resource area (which commences at surface) is now well defined and understood from surface down to approximately 250m. Mineralised intercepts include*: ➢ 5m @ 20.9g/t Au ➢ 4m @ 19.5g/t Au ➢ 6m @ 17.4g/t Au ➢ 6m @ 12.3g/t Au ➢ 6m @ 11.5g/t Au The drill programs intersected the primary structure hosting the mineralisation (Domain 1) at the depths interpreted, with the geological package of volcaniclastic sandstones, shales and conglomerates also intersected. The Pinnacles gold mineralisation is typically associated with an increase in silicification, quartz veining, chlorite alteration and increase in sulphide content. A second body of mineralisation (Domain 2) has also been modelled at the northern end of the main Domain 1 structure, with further drilling required to fully define the geometry of the mineralised body. Only a limited number of holes have penetrated this structure with intersections to date including*: ➢ 35m @ 3.7g/t Au ➢ 17m @ 3.2g/t Au ➢ 25m @ 2.3g/t Au (*see ASX announcements 21/1/2016, 6/5/2016, 9/9/2016, 13/10/2016, 28/10/2016, 7/2/2017) Since entering into the JV with Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited, Nexus has drill tested the depth and continuity of the potential high-grade mineralisation through a number of depth staged drill programs. The drill programs undertaken by Nexus have achieved this objective by intersecting mineralisation from surface to some 350m vertical depth, as well as testing the strike extent of the resource. Pinnacles East Mining Studies Advancing Nexus is determining the feasibility of the open pit potential of the Pinnacles East gold resource area, with deeper mineralisation to be considered as a potential underground operation. Nexus consultants have been engaged to undertake a pit optimization study, and mine development plan options to assist in determining the financial viability of establishing a gold mining operation at Pinnacles East. Due to the pre-existing ore sales agreement with Saracen, there is minimal capital expenditure required to initiate mining, with any ore mined to be processed through Saracen’s Carosue Dam Operation. Further drilling for geotechnical, metallurgical and hydro-geological test work, in addition to environmental base-line studies, are currently underway to assist in determining the mine development options. 9 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations Notes to accompany Mineral Resource Statement This mineral resource estimate will form the basis for mine studies. Pinnacles East Gold mineralisation occurs within a sub-vertical shear zone hosted within volcaniclastic sediments, predominantly shales and sandstones. It is associated with quartz veining (2-5%), sulphides (2-5%) and sheared chlorite / carbonate / haematite altered host rocks. The Pinnacles East resource model has been updated after the completion of a 22 hole drilling program by Nexus - comprising 18 reverse circulation (1,933m) and 4 diamond core holes (492m). These additional holes have allowed the narrow, steeply dipping deposit to be modelled in much greater detail than in the previous model. (Previous JORC 2012 combined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource, completed by Nexus Minerals Limited of 550,000t @ 4.6g/t Au for 82,000oz gold. See Nexus Minerals Limited’s ASX release 13 October 2016). The total drilling of the deposit comprises 183 holes, with the majority being reverse circulation (RC) (75%), followed by RAB (20%) and diamond drill holes (5%). The input data is considered to be comprehensive in its coverage of the mineralisation, with the interpretation of mineralised zones based on a high level of geological understanding producing a robust model of mineralised domains. The Nexus mineralisation interpretation is based on a combination of geological and grade features. The interpretation is more selective than in the previous estimate and this modification, together with other changes, has contributed to the slight change to tonnes and grade than was previously reported. Sampling was carried out in accordance with Nexus Minerals protocols and QA/QC procedures which are considered to be industry best practice. This included the insertion of field duplicates, standards and blanks. RC holes were drilled with a 5.5inch face sampling bit, with 1m samples collected through a cyclone and cone splitter producing a 2-3kg sample. For RC holes all samples had 4 consecutive 1m samples composited to form a 4m composite sample which was sent to the laboratory for analysis. Composite samples returning >0.1g/tAu were considered mineralised and the corresponding 1m samples sent to the laboratory for analysis. All samples were pulverized at the laboratory to -75um, to produce a 50g charge for gold Fire Assay with ICP finish. Diamond core is NQ2, sampled at 1m intervals or geological boundaries and cut into half core for analysis. All samples were pulverized at the laboratory to -75um, to produce a 50g charge for gold Fire Assay with ICP finish. All Nexus drill holes, and a selection of holes drilled by previous operators, where the collar locations could be reliably located, were surveyed by RTK GPS in February 2020 by Minecomp Surveyors of Kalgoorlie. A total of 91 holes were located and used to create the model DTM. Drillholes that are used in the mineral resource estimate, but were not located in the latest survey, were assigned an RL according to the new DTM. Accuracy <10cm. Bulk density is applied on the basis of Oxide / Transition / Fresh. Bulk density measurements were taken from NQ2 diamond ¼ drill core in waste and ore zones approximately every 5m. Core was not utilised if under 10 cm or over 40 cm in length. The top and bottom depth of each core segment was recorded for each bulk density value. Samples were composited to 1m intervals using a best fit approach. Variography was carried out to determine continuity parameters. Statistical analysis showed the populations in each domain to have low coefficients of variation but some outlier values required top-cut values of 35g/t Au (Domain 1) and 14g/t Au (Domain 2) to be applied. Grade modelling is based on ordinary kriging of top-cut drillhole sample gold grades into 5 mE by 10 mN by 5 mRL blocks that apply sub-cells down to 1 mE by 1 mN by 1 mRL to represent the interpreted boundaries of the mineralisation. The variography and estimation was carried out using Leapfrog Edge software. Based on the quality of the supporting data, the confidence in the deposit interpretation and geological continuity and the demonstrated grade continuity, combined with the current drill hole sample spacing, the deposit model has been categorised into Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources. The geological framework has been refined in a 3D model which shows clear associations of structure, alteration, contacts, veining and host lithologies to the mineralisation controls. The domain interpretations have been supported during iterations of infill drilling and demonstrate continuity of structure. 10 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations Much of the upper portion of the Pinnacles East deposit (surface – 200m depth) has been assigned to an Indicated category, with the remaining resource (below 200m depth) within the limits determined via eventual economic extraction analysis, assigned to an Inferred category. Material outside the eventual economic extraction limits has not been classified or reported. Reporting of the Mineral Resource has been divided into two parts, depending on geological confidence and sample density, and whether it has the potential to be extracted by open pit or by underground mining methods. A gold cut- off grade of 0.5 g/t has been applied for reporting of the potential open pit portion of the resource (down to 85 m below surface), while a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t has been used to report that portion which presents an underground mining opportunity. Tonnages, grades and contained metal have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the calculations. Rounding errors will occur. Pinnacles Regional Gold Project The combined Pinnacles Gold Project area covers 125km2 of highly deformed Archaean greenstone sequence of basalts, dolerites, and co-magmatic high-level intrusions. This mafic volcanic association is overlain by a series of medium to coarse grained volcaniclastic sandstones and subordinate felsic volcanic rocks. These greenstones have been intruded and disrupted by the forceful intrusion of a series of granitoid rocks. This geological and structural setting is considered to be highly prospective for gold mineralisation. Wallbrook Gold Project Regional Geology The Wallbrook Project area is located between two major converging tectonic features, the Laverton and Keith- Kilkenny tectonic zones. The Laverton Tectonic Zone (LTZ) forms the central portion of the Laverton Greenstone Belt, running north-south in the eastern parts of the Wallbrook Project. The LTZ is recognised as a world class gold province, with a mineral endowment (production + resources) of over 20 Moz of gold. Major deposits include Sunrise Dam (8.0 Moz), Wallaby (8.0 Moz) and Granny Smith (3.6 Moz). The Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone (KKTZ) has a northwest-southeast orientation and is an important vector to mineralisation in the region between Leonora and Leinster. The southern extension of the KKTZ intersects Saracen’s Carosue Dam Operation (4.6 Moz). The lithologies at Wallbrook are dominated by intermediate (andesitic) volcanics, intrusive felsic porphyries and granite (Figure 6). The dominant feature in the project area is the Wallbrook Monzonite. North of the monzonite are relatively smaller granitic intrusions and related narrow felsic porphyry dykes/sills which run predominantly parallel to the regional trend. The project area covers the convergence of two major trends wrapping around the northern end of the tear-shaped Wallbrook Monzonite. There are several phases of alteration observed, including: • • • chlorite + magnetite (associated with regional deformation); hematite + silica + sulphides (+ associated felsic intrusives); and sericite + silica + carbonate + pyrite + gold (late tectonic + mineralising event). As with many of the gold deposits within the Eastern Goldfields, gold mineralisation occurred relatively late in the deformational history of the area. Within the felsic lithologies there is a relationship between the hematite/silica alteration and gold mineralisation. Arnold (1999) suggests gold mineralisation is related to hematite bearing oxidized alteration assemblages, with deposition occurring where gold bearing fluids have come into contact with earlier magnetite-hematite assemblages. 11 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations Figure 6: Nexus Minerals Wallbrook Project and Prospect Locations Nexus Exploration Activities Exploration activities have centred on the Crusader, Templar, Branches, Golden Dyke and The Gap prospects (see Figure 6). The main sites of gold mineralisation in the district are on the margins of porphyritic intrusions. Mineralisation is known to occur within the margins of these porphyries themselves, and also developed within the intruded sheared and altered greenstone sequence lithologies and as mineralised quartz vein stockworks. Exploration activities were developed to target these styles of mineralisation. 12 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations Geological mapping of the tenement package was undertaken throughout the year and is ongoing. Mapping searching for host rock alteration where surface outcrop is evident. Surface geochemistry data was also assessed and areas of limited or no coverage sampled in the search for high level gold anomalism. Multiple high-resolution ground magnetic surveys were undertaken and have proven to be an effective tool to map the location of hydrothermal activity. The work completed above, culminating in aircore drilling of highly prospective targets at the Templar prospect. Results below in Figure 7 Figure 7: Templar - Branches Prospects – Ground Magnetic Survey and Aircore Drill Results 13 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations Templar Prospect The prospect has not had any previous exploration work undertaken. Geological mapping identified a corridor of pervasive and continuous hydrothermal alteration zones within sheared mafic (intermediate) and felsic volcanic units. Outcropping felsic porphyries in the area provide encouragement for mineralisation along this trend. Drilling also returned alteration at depth, with mineralisation associated with quartz veining +/-pyrite and varying amounts of sericite, hematite and chlorite alteration. Felsic porphyry units were also encountered in drill holes. The Templar corridor lies directly above a gravity low, providing an indication of underlying felsic intrusives at depth. The key to exploration along this corridor will be to determine the zones of best developed felsic intrusives, or substantial volcanic domes (being more brittle host rocks), and their intersection with cross-cutting structures. A distinct northeast-southwest structural corridor is evident (Figure 7). Geological exposure is limited across the Templar prospect due to transported sheetwash cover, so detailed ground magnetic data has been acquired to assist with mapping lithological continuity and identify structural discontinuities. Magnetic readings were taken using a highly sensitive fast-sampling magnetometer with continuous station recording along survey lines orientated east-west and spaced 25m apart. The quality of the ground magnetic data is excellent and is proving to be an important aid in understanding the setting of mineralisation and assisting with ongoing drill targeting. The more intense magnetic character (seen highlighted in red on Figure 7 on the previous page) is considered to be, at least in part, due to hydrothermal alteration of the host rocks. The combination of mapped geology and surface geochemistry results, with the interpretation of 3D modelling of the ground magnetics results, allowed for drill targets to be generated. The 91 hole / 4,375m aircore program successfully intersected high grade gold mineralisation. Results include: ❖ Hole #19 - 3m @ 8.37g/t Au (eoh) ➢ Incl 1m @ 24.43g/t Au (eoh) ❖ Hole #35 - 18m @ 1.40g/t Au ➢ Incl 4m @ 6.46g/t Au ❖ Hole #17 - 26m @ 1.02g/t Au ➢ Incl 4m @ 5.03g/t Au ❖ Hole #36 - 8m @ 1.72g/t Au ➢ Incl 3m @ 3.27g/t Au (eoh) ➢ Incl 1m @ 7.23g/t Au (eoh) ❖ Hole #14 - 4m @ 2.23g/t Au Follow up RC drilling is planned for the Templar, Branches and Golden Dyke prospects in late 2020. 14 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations Research & Development Project Nexus is undertaking a research and development project, aiming to develop new knowledge on the application of spectral data in the mineral exploration industry. The project involves the experimentation of new exploration and geo-sensing techniques utilizing spectral data. The experimental activities will attempt to achieve an outcome by applying a systematic progression of work that proceeds from hypothesis to experimental phase (or phases as required), observation and evaluation, leading to logical conclusions. This will result in the generation of new scientific knowledge. The R&D project is being undertaken on both Nexus’ Wallbrook and Pinnacles Gold Projects, where relevant geological and mineralogical characteristics are known or are being characterized by Nexus, which assists in the evaluation of the new exploration technique. Multiple project areas allow for a series of varying geological settings upon which to undertake the experimental activities and gather sufficient samples/datasets to allow logical conclusions to be reached post analysis. The R&D project will be undertaken over an approximate four-year time-line, which commenced July 2017, with the initial years mainly consisting of data collection with ongoing analysis and this final year consisting of results-based interpretation and conclusions. During the year the drill chips from the RC and aircore drill programs at Wallbrook and Pinnacles project areas, were dried and collated to allow SWIR analysis of the drill chip samples, using a TerraSpec SWIR unit attached to spectra acquisition software. Triumph Gold Project The Triumph Gold Project is located 145 Km north-east of Kalgoorlie. Nexus is targeting high grade gold deposits within the Triumph Gold Project tenement. Geological field investigations were undertaken during the year. On 16 July 2020 the Company entered into an option agreement with Gibb River Diamonds (GIB) for the sale of its Triumph Gold Project. GIB, on completion of their due diligence investigations, signed the option agreement and plan to assess targets with an upcoming drill program. GIB will continue to progress its 100% owned Ellendale Diamond Project concurrently with drilling and exploration of the Triumph Gold Project. Under the option agreement Nexus will receive $440,000 plus GST, 5,500,000 GIB shares and 5,500,000 GIB unlisted options consisting of; ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ Option payment of $110,000 plus GST (non-refundable) for granting GIB a 6-month option to purchase the Triumph Gold Project - tenement E39/1179 The option can be exercised by GIB paying Nexus a further $330,000 plus GST, issuing 5,500,000 GIB Shares and 5,500,000 GIB unlisted options The 5,500,000 GIB shares have a deemed price of 4 cents, and would be escrowed for 12 months from date of issue The 5,500,000 GIB options would be exercisable at 9 cents each with an expiry date of 28 November 2022 Nexus retains the right to remove historic tailings from the tenement for a period up to 2 years. 15 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Review of Operations Mt Celia Gold Project The Mt Celia Gold Project is located 180km north east of Kalgoorlie. The tenement lies within the Laverton Tectonic Zone and this structure has hosted numerous major gold mines. Geological field investigations were undertaken during the year. Resources As at 30 June 2020, Nexus Minerals Limited Mineral Resource Estimate at Wallbrook is 2.17Mt @ 1.22g/t Au for 85,000 ounces. It remains unchanged from 2019. As at 30 June 2020, Nexus Minerals Limited Mineral Resource Estimate at Pinnacles is 609,00 tonnes at 4.0g/t for 78,000 ounces (refer Table 1 on page 5), changed from the 2019 estimate of 551,200 tonnes at 4.6g/t Au for 82,000 ounces. The Company’s Mineral Resources have changed from 2019 to include the Pinnacles mineral resource estimate in 2020. Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Governance and Internal Controls Nexus Minerals ensures that the Mineral Resource estimate quoted is subject to governance arrangements and internal controls activated at a site level and at the corporate level. Internal and external reviews of Mineral Resource estimation procedures and results are carried out through a technical review team which is comprised of highly competent and qualified professionals.

The GIB shares have a deemed price of 4 cents per share and would be escrowed 12 months from the date of issue.

AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to other financial assets (such as property, plant and equipment) and lease liabilities similar to other financial liabilities. As a consequence, a lessee recognises depreciation of the right- of-use asset and interest on the lease liability, and also classifies cash repayments of the lease liability into a principal portion and presents them in the statement of cash flows applying AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows. AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117 Leases. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases. 34 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the year ended 30 June 2020. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies. d) Basis of Consolidation The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of Nexus Minerals Limited (“Company” or “Parent”) and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the “Group”). Control is achieved where the Company has exposure to variable returns from the entity and the power to affect those returns. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing when the Group controls another entity. Unrealised gains or transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position. Losses are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if that results in a deficit balance. The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised within equity attributable to owners of Nexus Minerals Limited. When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. 35 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) e) Revenue Recognition 1. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. 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 on initial recognition. 2. Revenue from the Sale of Options Revenue from the sale of options over interests in tenements is recognised when it is probable that consideration will be received for the options and the Group has no further obligations in respect of the options. 3. Research & Development Research and development tax incentive (“R&D”) claims are recognised when the Company is notified that its R&D claim has been accepted. 4. Grant funding Cash Flow Boost and Exploration Incentive Scheme grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grants and that the grants will be received. f) Plant and Equipment Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) Office furniture and equipment 4 to 7 years Computer software Computer hardware Exploration equipment Leasehold improvements 2.5 years 4 years 7 years 6 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. g) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. 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. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. 36 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) h) Impairment Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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 the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. i) Issued Capital Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as issued capital. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. j) Employee Benefits A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required, and they are capable of being measured reliably. Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. Contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. 37 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) k) Income Tax Income tax on the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the periods presented comprises current payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are not taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting, nor taxable profit and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. 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. When some or all the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered by a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 38 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) m) Goods and Services Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) except: i. 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 ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of the receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investment or financing activities that is payable to, or recoverable from, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows. n) Exploration and evaluation Exploration and evaluation costs, excluding the costs of acquiring licences, are expensed as incurred. Acquisition costs will be assessed on a case by case basis and, if appropriate, they will be capitalised. These acquisition costs are only carried forward if the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and either: • • They are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or The activities in the area of interest at the reporting date have not 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 is continuing. Accumulated acquisition costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. The carrying values of acquisition costs are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. o) Earnings per Share The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted. p) Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Nexus Minerals Limited. 39 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) q) Financial Instruments Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified "at fair value through profit or loss", in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain significant financing component or if the practical expedient was applied as specified in AASB 15.63. Classification and subsequent measurement Financial assets Financial assets are subsequently measured at: — — — amortised cost; fair value through other comprehensive income; or fair value through profit or loss On the basis of the two primary criteria: — — the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; and the business model for managing the financial assets A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost when it meets the following conditions: — — the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates. A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when it meets the following conditions: — the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates; and the business model for managing the financial asset comprises both contractual cash flows collection and the selling of the financial asset. — By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the measurement conditions of amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at: — — amortised cost; or fair value through profit or loss 40 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) q) Financial Instruments (continued) Classification and subsequent measurement (continued) A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit and loss if the financial liability is: — — — a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3 applies held for trading; or initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense over in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition. A financial liability is held for trading if it is: — — — incurred for the purpose of repurchasing or repaying in the near term; part of a portfolio where there is an actual pattern of short-term profit taking; or a derivative financial instrument (except for a derivative that is in a financial guarantee contract or a derivative that is in an effective hedging relationship) Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Derecognition Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement of financial position. Derecognition of financial liabilities A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial 41 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) q) Financial Instruments (continued) Derecognition (continued) modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. Derecognition of financial assets A financial asset is derecognised when the holder's contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred. All the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of a financial asset: — — — the right to receive cash flows from the asset has been expired or been transferred; all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and the entity no longer controls the asset (i.e. it has no practical ability to make unilateral decisions to sell the asset to a third party). On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. On derecognition of a debt instrument classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in equity which was elected to be classified under fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained earnings. r) Impairment The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on: — — — — — financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income; lease receivables; contract assets (e.g. amount due from customers under construction contracts); loan commitments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss; and financial guarantee contracts that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Loss allowance is not recognised for: — — financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; or equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Expected credit losses are the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of a financial instrument. A credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due and all cash flows expected to be received, all discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial instrument. 42 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) r) Impairment (continued) The Group uses the following approaches to impairment, as applicable under AASB 9: — — — — the general approach; the simplified approach; the purchased or originated credit impaired approach; and low credit risk operational simplification. Simplified approach The simplified approach does not require tracking of changes in credit risk in every reporting period, but instead requires the recognition of lifetime expected credit loss at all times. This approach is applicable to: trade receivables — In measuring the expected credit loss, a provision matrix for trade receivables was used taking into consideration various data to get to an expected credit loss (i.e. depending on the diversity of its customer base, appropriate groupings of its historical loss experience, etc.). Recognition of expected credit losses in financial statements At each reporting date, the Group recognises the movement in the loss allowance as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to that asset. Assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income. For financial assets that are unrecognised (e.g. loan commitments yet to be drawn, financial guarantees), a provision for loss allowance is created in the statement of financial position to recognise the loss allowance. At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised in profit or loss. Where the assets are not held primarily for their ability to generate net cash inflows – that is, they are specialised assets held for continuing use of their service capacity – the recoverable amounts are expected to be materially the same as fair value. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where an impairment loss on a revalued individual asset is identified, this is recognised against the revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that class of asset. 43 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) s) Share-based payment transactions (i) Equity settled transactions: The Group provides benefits to directors and executives of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby directors and executives render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with directors and executives is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using an appropriate option valuation, further details of which are given in note 25. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the Group (market conditions) if applicable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant directors become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each balance date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The profit or loss charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition. If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification. If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. t) Trade and Other Payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. 44 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) u) Leases At inception of a contract, the consolidated entity assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is considered to contain a lease if it allows the consolidated entity the right to control the use of an identified asset over a period of time in return for consideration. Where a contract or arrangement contains a lease, the consolidated entity recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. A right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is the present value of future lease payments adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any make-good obligations and initial direct costs incurred. Lease assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of their useful life and the lease term. Periodic adjustments are made for any re-measurements of the lease liabilities and for impairment losses. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future minimum lease payments, discounted using the consolidated entity’s incremental borrowing rate if the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate. Minimum lease payments include fixed payments, amounts expected to be paid under a residual value guarantee, the exercise price of purchase options for which the consolidated entity is reasonably certain to exercise and incorporate the consolidated entity’s expectations of lease extension options. The lease liability is remeasured when there are changes in future lease payments arising from a change in rates, index or lease terms from exercising an extension or termination option. A corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the lease assets. Short term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets ($5,000 or less) are recognised as incurred as an expense in the consolidated income statement. Low value assets comprise computers and items of IT equipment. The consolidated entity has no short term leases nor leases of low value assets. v) Financial position The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlements of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group has reported a net loss for the year of $1,001,962 (2019: $1,701,674) and a cash outflow from operating activities of $867,185 (2019: $2,190,989). At year end, the Group had $2,439,976 in cash and cash equivalents. Nexus further completed a capital raising post 30 June raising $3.38 million. The directors also manage discretionary expenditure in line with the Group’s cash flow and are confident that there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital and funding requirements for a minimum of 12 months from the date of this report. 45 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 2. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation of uncertainty In the application of the Group’s accounting policies which are described in note 1, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Share-based Payment Transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with directors and executives by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value was determined using a Black- Scholes model, using the assumptions detailed in note 25. Coronavirus (Covid-19) Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. The consideration extends to the nature of activities and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Exploration and evaluation costs carried forward The recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation costs carried forward has been reviewed by the directors. In conducting the review, the directors have elected for exploration assets relating to the acquisition of licenses to be carried at cost. All other exploration and evaluation costs are expensed during the period in which they are incurred. Recovery of Deferred Tax Assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences where management considers that it is probable that sufficient future tax profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences. Significant management judgment has been effected to determine that no deferred tax assets was recognised. 46 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 3.

These benefits will only be obtained if: i. ii. iii. the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure to be realised; the Company continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and no changes in legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure. 50 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 9. Financial instruments Overview The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: • • • Credit risk Liquidity risk Market risk This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through regular reviews of the risks. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities. Investments The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have an acceptable credit rating. Cash and cash equivalents and term deposit investments are held with Westpac Bank, which is an Australian bank with an AA- credit rating (Standard & Poor’s). Trade and Other Receivables As the Group operates in the mining exploration sector it does not have trade receivables and is therefore not exposed to credit risk in relation to trade receivables. Other receivables include GST credits and cashflow boost payments receivable from the Australian Taxation Office. Presently, the Group undertakes exploration and evaluation activities in Australia. At the reporting date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. Exposure to Credit Risk The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: Cash and bank balances Trade and other receivables Term deposit investments Carrying amount Consolidated 2020 $ 2,439,976 89,035 57,879 Note 10 11 12 Consolidated 2019 $ 3,290,557 54,881 57,879 51 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 9. Financial instruments (continued) Credit Risk None of the Company’s trade and other receivables are past due (2019: $nil). As the Group is not trading there is no management of credit risk performed through an ageing analysis. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. Typically, the Group ensures it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a minimum period of 90 days. 30 June 2020 Trade and other payables Lease liabilities 30 June 2019 Trade and other payables Carrying amount $ Contractual cash flows $ 6 months or less $ 6 months or more $ 224,786 70,440 295,226 (224,786) (70,440) (295,226) (224,786) (7,950) (232,736) - (62,490) (62,490) 82,875 82,875 (82,875) (82,875) (82,875) (82,875) - - 52 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 9. Financial instruments (continued) Market Risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. Currency risk The Group currently undertakes no transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Group has no hedging policy in place to manage those risks, however all foreign exchange purchases are settled promptly. Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk due to variable interest being earned on its assets held in cash and cash equivalents. The Group has no borrowings. Profile At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was: Fixed rate instruments Term deposit investments Variable rate instruments Cash and bank balances Consolidated 2020 Consolidated 2019 Carrying amount $ Interest rate % Carrying amount $ Interest rate % 57,879 0.87 57,879 2,439,976 0.84 3,290,557 1.87 2.14 Cash Flow Sensitivity Analysis for Variable Rate Instruments A change of 100 basis points would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

Financial instruments (continued) Fair value of financial instruments The Group is disclosing the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy: • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2), and • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3). The following table presents the Group’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019.

The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the close price at reporting date. These instruments are included in level 1. The Group currently has listed securities that are traded in an active market. Capital Management The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 54 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 10.

Segment information The consolidated entity’s operating segments have been determined with reference to the monthly management accounts used by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions regarding the consolidated entity’s operations and allocation of working capital. Due to the size and nature of the Company, the Board as a whole has been determined as the chief operating decision maker. The Group operates in one business segment and one geographical segment, namely the mineral exploration industry in Western Australia. 30. Events subsequent to reporting date Subsequent to the reporting date the Company has raised $3.38 million before issue costs through the issue of 75.11 million fully paid ordinary shares via a two-tranche placement to sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of 4.5 cents per share. Capital raised pursuant to the placement will be used to fund exploration at Nexus’ highly prospective gold tenement package in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Subsequent to the reporting date Nexus executed an option for the sale of the Triumph Gold Project to Gibb River Diamonds (GIB). The consideration was $110,000 plus GST granting GIB a six-month option to acquire the project. The option can be exercised by GIB paying Nexus $330,000 plus GST and issuing Nexus 5,500,000 GIB shares and 5,500,000 GIB unlisted options. The GIB shares have a deemed price of 4 cents per share and would be escrowed 12 months from the date of issue. The GIB options have an exercise price of 9 cents per option and an expiry date of 28 November 2022. The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and whilst it has had no financial impact for the Group to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact , positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. Other than the above no matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years. 31. New Standards adopted AASB 16 Leases Change in accounting policy AASB 16 supersedes AASB 117 Leases. The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019 which has resulted in changes in the classification, measurement and recognition of leases. The changes result in almost all leases, where the Group is the lessee, being recognised on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and removes the former distinction between “operating” and “finance” leases. The new standard requires recognition of a right-of-use asset (the leased item) and a financial liability (to pay rentals). The exceptions are short-term leases and leases of low value assets. 65 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 31. New Standards adopted (continued) The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach under which the reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are recognised in the opening Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on 1 July 2019. Under this approach, there is no initial impact on retained earnings and comparatives have not been restated. The Company leases office premises. Prior to 1 July 2019, the lease was classed as an operating lease. Payments made under operating leases were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. From 1 July 2019, where the Company is a lessee, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date which the lease asset is available for use by the Group (ie. commencement date). Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a consistent period rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date discounted using the rate implied in the lease. If this rate is not readily determinable, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments are included in the initial measurement if the lease liability consist of: • Fixed lease payments less any lease incentives available; • Variable lease payments that depend on any index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at commencement date; • Any amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees; • The exercise price of purchase options, if the group is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and • Termination penalties of the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. Extension options are included in the property lease in the Group. In determining the lease term management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option. Extension options are only included in the lease term if, at commencement date, it is reasonably certain that the options will be exercised. Subsequent to initial recognition, the lease liability is measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The lease liability is remeasured (with a corresponding adjustment to right-of-use asset) whenever there is a change in the lease term (including assessments relating to extension and termination options), lease payments due to changes in an index or rate, or expected payments under guaranteed residual values. Right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at of before commencement date, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. These right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Where the terms of a lease require the Group to restore the underlying asset, or the Group has an obligation to dismantle and remove a leased asset, a provision is recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 137. To the extent that the costs relate to a right-of-use asset, the costs are included in the related right-of-use asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (or the useful life of the leased asset if this is shorter). Depreciation starts on commencement date of the lease. 66 Nexus Minerals Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020 31. New Standards adopted (continued) Where leases have a term of less than 12 months or relate to low value assets, the Group has applied the optional exemptions to not capitalise these leases and instead account for the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Impact of adoption of AASB 16 On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of AASB 117. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 9%. On initial application right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2019. In the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Group has recognised cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability within financing activities and cash payments for the interest portion of the lease liability as interest paid within operating activities. The adoption of AASB 16 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of $97,975 and lease liabilities of $97,975 in respect of all operating leases. The net impact on accumulated losses at 1 July 2019 was $nil. Reconciliation of operating lease commitments previously disclosed as lease liabilities on 1 July 2019. Below is a reconciliation of total operating lease commitments as at 30 June 2019 as disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019, and the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019.

The directors have been given the declarations required by section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001. This declaration is signed in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors. On behalf of the directors P Boyatzis Chairman Perth, Western Australia Dated this 29th day of September 2020 70 Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Nexus Minerals Limited Report on the Audit of the Financial Report Opinion We have audited the financial report of Nexus Minerals Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of 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, 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 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 (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. 71 Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Funding and Liquidity Refer to Note 1 (v)(Financial position) Nexus Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries are gold exploration companies focusing on gold opportunities in Western Australia. The exploration activities of the Group have not yet advanced to a stage where it is able to generate revenue, accordingly the Group is reliant on funding from external sources such as capital raisings, to support its operations. We focussed on whether the Group had sufficient cash resources and access to funding to allow the Group to continue as a going concern. The adequacy of funding and liquidity as well as the relevant impact on the going concern assessment is a key audit matter due to the inherent uncertainties associated with the future development of the Group’s projects and the level of funding required to support that development. We evaluated the Group’s funding and liquidity position at 30 June 2020 and its ability to repay its debts as and when they fall due for a minimum of 12 months from the date of signing the financial report. In doing so, we: • obtained management’s cash flow forecast for the 15 months from the commencement of the 2021 financial year; • assessed the reliability and completeness of management’s assumptions by comparing the forecast cash flows to those of current and previous years and as well as our understanding of future events and conditions; and • considered events subsequent to year end to determine whether any additional facts or information have become available since the date on which management made its assessment. Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Directors’ responsibility for the financial report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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. 72 Auditor’s responsibility 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 Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors responsibilities /ar2.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2020. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Nexus Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020, complies with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
