Chairman’s Report 

Dear Shareholders, 

On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to introduce the 2017 Annual Report for Okapi Resources Limited (Okapi or the 
Company).  

Okapi is a gold focused company with a clear strategy of advancing our Mambasa and Crackerjack Projects in DRC and 
Western Australia respectively.  

The Company was incorporated on 29 May 2017. Okapi subsequently completed a heavily over-subscribed IPO to raise 
$5 million, the success of which provided the Company with a strong platform for future growth and reflects the quality 
of the Mambasa and Crackerjack Projects and management.  

Your  Board  believes  that  advancing  our  present  projects  is  only  the  first  step  in  building  a  quality  company  with 
significant assets that will spark interest globally and provide significant shareholder value.  

We continue to make progress on all fronts of the development and acquisition of new mineral assets and I look forward 
to keeping you updated on our progress on what should be an exciting year ahead.  

Yours faithfully 

Klaus Eckhof 
Chairman

CRACKERJACK GOLD PROJECT 

Property Description and Location 

The Crackerjack Gold Project consists of a single granted exploration tenement - E80/4675. It is located 85 km south 
west of the town of Halls Creek in the Kimberley Goldfield of Western Australia (Figure 1). The asset is held 100% by 
Okapi Resources Limited.  

Access 

Figure 1  Location of the Crackerjack Gold Project 

Access to the project area from Halls Creek is initially via the sealed Great Northern Highway approximately 50 km south 
west. The unsealed Old Ballara Road is then driven 40 km south through Old Lamboo Station and thence via dirt station 
tracks a further 8 km south to the project area, directly to the east of Willy Willy Well. 

The  area  is  rugged,  with  ephemeral  streams  cutting  deep  into  the  country  rock  and  making  accessibility  difficult. 
Monsoonal rains may cause even sealed roads to become impassable for periods of time. Access to the project area would 
certainly be affected by summer rains and the timing of fieldwork should take this into account.  

Little infrastructure exists in the area. Many ephemeral water holes exist in the region however scarcity of permanent and 
reliable water sources has historically been the major factor hindering development of the both mines and pastoral leases 
in the area.

Geological Setting 

The  Crackerjack  Project  area  lies  within  the  Mt  Dockrell  area  of  the  Halls  Creek  Orogen,  a  major  deformation  zone 
comprising multiple faults bounding the eastern edge of the Kimberley Basin.  The Orogen contains rocks of the Halls 
Creek Group of Lower Proterozoic Age and have been very intensely folded about a northeast to north-northeast axis. In 
the Mt Dockrell area the units are tightly folded, forming upright isoclinal to sub-isoclinal folds. 

Halls Creek Group units present in the Crackerjack Gold Project area include the Biscay and Olympio Formations 
(Figure 2). 

Figure 2 Local Geology of the Crackerjack tenement area 

The Olympio Formation is a thick succession (<4 km) of epiclastic felsic volcanic rocks showing turbiditic depositional 
fabrics in the lowermost portion grading to medium and coarse-grained wacke and conglomerates.  

Shear zones occur throughout the area, often associated with gold mineralisation. Shearing is generally trending north-
northeast and sub-parallel with bedding and fold axial planes. Examples of these are shown at the Golden Hole South and 
Crackerjack East  prospects. Occasional  cross-cutting  shears,  most  probably  associated with faults,  have disrupted  the 
continuity of the lithological units (as evident in Figure 2).  

The intersections of these shears with mineralised horizons have resulted in foci for mineralisation such as at Crackerjack. 
Shale is a common host rock for gold mineralisation but deposits are also hosted by various volcanic rocks and especially 
Woodward Dolerite dykes and sills. 
Barnes (1987) and Martin (1988) have classified the units in the Crackerjack area using a simplistic nomenclature, which 
is presented here (from east to west): 
  Eastern Metasediments 
  Eastern Greenstones 
  Central Felsic Volcanics 
  Western Greenstones 

3 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Okapi Resources Limited 
Operations Report 

All of these units are separated from one another by significant faults. These faults are sometimes quartz-filled however 
in  general,  the  faults  are  evidenced  by  major  lithological  change.  The  ‘Eastern  Greenstones’  of  Barnes  and  Martin 
correlate with the upper successions within the Biscay Formation. These contain most of the known gold occurrences and 
old workings in the area. 

Gold and Base Metal Mineralisation 

The primary deposits so far reported in the area are contained within the more strongly sheared and altered mafic volcanics 
or are hosted within, or proximal to Woodward Dolerite sills, particularly within the upper Biscay Formation/Eastern 
Greenstones.  

The hosting structures are invariably oriented to the north-northeast and dip from 70 degrees to sub-vertically, paralleling 
stratigraphy and fold axial planes in the area. The intersection of these structures with occasional cross-cutting shears has 
resulted in dilational zones and lenses enriched in mineralised fluids, thereby creating the higher-grade gold deposits. 

Many deposits contain a significant degree of quartz-sericite-calcite propylitisation within the alteration zones. They have 
also been shown to contain a high proportion of sulphides, which can form a significant base metal anomaly in themselves. 
Associated sulphides in order of abundance include; Arsenopyrite, Pyrite, Chalcopyrite, Galena and Sphalerite. 

Historic Exploration 

Gold was first discovered in the Kimberley region by E.T. Hardman in 1884 and shortly afterwards, payable quantities of 
gold were found at Halls Creek by Hall and Slattery.  

Gold was first found at Mt Dockrell in 1888 and since then gold has been won from both alluvial and hard rock sources.  
The field had very little exploration work completed on it between the late 1880’s and the 1980’s with only moderate 
exploration being undertaken by prospectors during the 1930’s to 1950’s. The area is renowned for its gold nuggets, with 
the largest being found reported at 15 ounces. To date some 61 separate gold occurrences/prospects have been located in 
the area and drilling has been undertaken on six of these. Refer to Figure 3 showing the known prospects within the 
current Crackerjack Project tenement. 

More recent exploration of the area was commenced in 1988 by Maldon Minerals. The company conducted geological 
mapping and reconnaissance RC drilling within historical tenements ML80/194 and 195. Additionally, reconnaissance 
drainage sampling was conducted over the surrounding tenements, monsoonal rains permitting. Maldon drilled forty RC 
holes for a total of 1,603 metres. The holes were positioned so as to intercept extensions of suspected mineralisation 
beneath some of the historic gold workings. Their exact locations were recorded only on prospect-scale sketches compiled 
in Maldon’s Mt Dockrell Project Annual Technical Report of 1990 (DMP WAMEX Report No. A30309) and are yet to 
have collar locations verified on the ground.  

In  2000,  New  Millenium  Resources  undertook  four  distinct  phases  of  exploration  within  the  region.  These  included: 
engagement of International Earthscan Pty Ltd to conduct a structural and mineral alteration interpretation; a detailed 
geological and historical evaluation research was completed of the Mt Dockrell region; geological consultants engaged 
by the company undertook field a field survey during November and December 1999; and lastly a local miner was engaged 
to mine alluvials from the tenement under tribute, however no mining was actually recorded.

Exploration Work Completed by Panex Resources Australia Pty Ltd (“Panex”) 

Panex has completed a desktop data review of previous work completed within the area and conducted an initial site visit 
to complete Due Diligence of the tenement prior to securing it.  
Field work, completed during May 2016, consisted of a six day site visit by a geologist and technical assistant.  

Five rock chip and grab samples were taken from quartz-rich mafic schists and quartz stockwork at the prospect to confirm 
the presence of gold mineralisation and quantify the grade of sulphide target minerals. Samples were taken to confirm 
mineralisation indicated by historical rockchip samples taken by previous tenement holders.  

Assay results for the 5 samples were very encouraging. Three of the samples returned significant gold assays including 
15.7 g/t gold, 1.94 g/t gold and 2.67 g/t gold. One sample returned 1430 ppm copper and one sample returned 1340 ppm 
lead. Sample NF16CJ001 was taken from a mineralised structure approximately 3m wide with multiple parallel quartz 
veins of no more than 15cm individual width, so could be considered a ‘bulked-out’ sample. It returned 15.7 g/t gold and 
1340 ppm lead. The structure continued for an observable strike length approaching 300 metres.

Summary of Potential 

The Crackerjack Gold Project area demonstrates potential for various styles of mineralisation including;  

  Shear/vein-hosted Au-Pb-As-Ag- /-Cu-Zn, 
  Shear-hosted Cu-Au-Ag and,  
  Quartz-carbonate-pyrite veining as host to Pb-Zn-Cu 

The deformation history of the area and complex interactions between structures and lithological units would seem to 
constrain  the  size  potential  of  mineral  deposits  in  the  region,  although  the  lack  of  recent  exploration  does  indicate 
considerable potential for those companies committed to discovery in the area. 
Based on this initial information and results obtained there exists evident potential for high grade gold mineralisation 
being present. Gold is the only metal likely to be found in economic grades and quantities. Specifically, areas of brittle 
failure within anticlinal structures and associated brittle-ductile faulting may prove to host more significant mineralisation. 
As a result of the narrow width and limited strike of structures as historically recorded and also observed by the Company 
during the recent field trip, a steady phased approach to exploration work is recommended. A program of more detailed 
mapping and sampling for multi-element analysis may be used to enhance geological targeting of Woodward Dolerite 
sills as well as structures and alteration that may indicate gold mineralisation worthy of drill testing.  
In particular the historic line of workings from Irish Lass (80) – Crackerjack – Crackerjack South – Erin go Bragh – The 
Three Sisters (Carols) appear to be located in the most well-mineralised stratigraphic horizon within the upper Biscay 
Formation and should form the focus of future activities. 
Soil  or  drainage  sampling  is  expected  to  be  of  little  benefit  as  all  stream  channels  are  anomalous  in  gold  due  to  the 
widespread occurrence of alluvial and eluvial deposits. 

Current Exploration by Okapi 

The Company proposes the following work plan, which is currently underway: 

  Comprehensive desktop study to obtain any outstanding available information related to mineralisation in the 

tenement area. 

  Digitise  the  prospect-scale  sketches  of  the  historic  workings  and  drill  hole  locations  produced  by  Maldon 

Minerals to create digital records of these data. Validate these locations ‘on the ground’. 

  Complete structural mapping on the project and continue to examine alteration/grade relationships to improve 
the  understanding  and  definition  of  mineralisation  boundaries.  Use  rock  chip  sampling,  trenching  or  RAB 
drilling as required.  

  Utilise multi-element geochemical techniques on bedrock samples to empirically define the proximal and distal 

alteration associated with known gold mineralising conduits and traps.  
  Use this information to generate further targets within the Project area. 
  RC  drill  test  the  more  prospective  targets  to  confirm  indications  of  economic  gold  and/or  base  metal 

mineralisation.

MAMBASA GOLD PROJECT 

Property Description and Location 

The Mambasa Gold Project consists of two granted licences, PE364 and PE480, located approximately 18km to the south 
of the town of Mambasa, in the Mambasa District of Ituri Province in the north-eastern DRC (Figures 4 and 5).  

Several areas of historic and current artisanal workings are present on the licences, including the abandoned colonial 
Prince Leopold Gold Mine. Most of these workings cluster around the more easily accessed areas close to the historic 
workings and along streams and rivers.

Figure 5 Mambasa Gold Project licences relative to neighbouring licences 

Okapi has the right to earn a 70% majority interest in the Mambasa project through certain cash payments and expenditure 
on the licences.  

Accessibility, Climate and Infrastructure 

A tarmac airstrip is maintained close to the town of Bunia, principally to service regional flights within the DRC. Access 
from Bunia to the Project area is via the sealed, all-weather regional road west for some 150 km to Mambasa village. 
Vehicular access is then via a poorly-maintained gravel road south east for a distance of 19.5 km to the Pede track turn-
off and thence a further 10 km south-west to the regional village of Pede. The Project licences are then accessed using a 
walking track from the village of Pede. The centre of licence PE364 is approximately 5 km along the track and PE480 
11.5 km along the track. Further access within the licence areas is by a network of pedestrian trails.  

Local infrastructure is typical of remote rural Africa, with poorly maintained unsealed roads and few public manufacturing 
or  engineering  services  available.  An  intermittent  power  supply  is  provided  by  a  local  grid  system,  established  and 
managed by the power generation arm of Sokimo from local hydroelectric dams.  

Geological Setting and Mineralisation 

Archaean gneisses  and  granite-greenstone  terrains  cover much  of northeast  DRC  and extend  into  the  Central African 
Republic (“CAR”), western Uganda and southern Sudan (Figure 6). Old basement gneisses, dated at about 3.5 Ga, are 
known as the Bomu (amphibolite-pyroxene gneisses and granites) and West Nile Complexes. Scattered greenstone belts 
known as the Ganguan and Kibalian Greenstone Belts have been dated at older than 2.9 Ga and 2.81 Ga respectively.

Okapi Resources Limited 
Operations Report 

Figure 6 Regional map of Greenstone belts showing major project location 

The Mambasa Gold Project area is located within the Archaean Kibalian-Uele granitoid-greenstone belt of the Northeast 
Congo Craton (NECC) and encompasses almost the entire Mambasa belt, one of the nine gold-bearing greenstone belts 
in the region. The Kibalian  granitoid-greenstone terrane consists of 15% greenstones, with the Mambasa Greenstone Belt 
representing  the  most  extensively  preserved  greenstones,  and  85%  granitoids,  including  tonalities,  diorites  and 
granodiorites (Cahen, et al., 1984). 

An older generation of mafic-ultramafic greenstones is intruded by ~2.9 to 2.8 Ga tonalities, while a younger generation 
of  greenstones,  the  Kibalian  greenstones,  with  mafic-intermediate  volcanic,  sediments  and  banded  iron  formation  is 
intruded by ~2.5 to 2.4 Ga granites.  

The  Mambasa  Greenstone  Belt  is  geologically  similar  to  Geita  Greenstone  Belt  of  northern  Tanzania  and  the  Ngayu 
Greenstone Belt, with gold deposits spatially related to banded ironstone formations.  

Tropical weathering has reduced the near surface rock to an unrecognizable saprolite beneath approximately one metre 
of organic soil, gravel, and local laterite. Underlying the saprolite is a transition zone of easily recognizable, but highly 
oxidized rock to depths that vary from 20 m to 80 m, typically 50 m, with the larger depths found in areas of positive 
topography. 

The Belgian colonialists discovered high grade quartz veins, stockworks and disseminated gold in the Mambasa area. In 
general  gold  mineralization  is  associated  with  steeply  dipping  quartz  veins  and  stockworks  and  as  disseminations  in 
banded ironstone formations within both PE364 and PE480. 

Within PE364, there is intense small-scale mining activity in the location of what is believed to be the historical Belgian 
Mine. A relatively new artisanal site in northern part of the Mambasa belt within PE364 is a mineralised zone of 600+ 
metre strike length being exploited by artisanal miners to a maximum depth of 25 metres on a series of sub vertical quartz 
veins in a hydrothermally altered BIF in a 15-20 metre thick geological sequence. 

If the initial conceptual model proposed for the Mambasa Project is aligned with the geological interpretation and current 
understanding of the work completed by Kilo Goldmines within the Ngayu greenstone belt, there exists potential for gold 
mineralisation of significance within the project area.

Okapi Resources Limited 
Operations Report 

Mineralisation 

In accordance with other gold mines in similar regional geological settings, the style of mineralisation being targeted in 
the Mambasa Gold Project are associated with epigenetic mesothermal style mineralisation. This style of mineralization 
is typical of gold deposits in Archaean and Proterozoic greenstone terranes and is generally associated with regionally 
metamorphosed  rocks  that  have  experienced  a  long  history  of  thermal  and  deformational  events.  These  deposits  are 
invariably structurally controlled and mineralisation is commonly the fracture and vein type in brittle fracture to ductile 
dislocation zones.  

Deposit Type and Target Model 

Gold  within  the  Kilo-Moto  Belt  is  associated  with  epigenetic  mesothermal  style  mineralisation,  consistent  with  the 
majority of Archaean and Proterozoic greenstone terranes worldwide, including the Birimian Supergroup of West Africa, 
the Yilgarn Block in Western Australia, the Lake Victoria District in Tanzania and the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in Canada.  

This style of mineralisation is generally associated with regionally metamorphosed terrains that have experienced a long 
history of thermal and deformational events. As such, these gold deposits are invariably structurally controlled.  

The most common style of mineralisation in this setting is fracture- and vein-type gold mineralisation in zones of brittle 
fracture to ductile dislocation. Deposits of this type are best developed in the Kilo sector of the Kilo-Moto district where 
AngloGold Ashanti Ltd explored for ‘mylonite’- hosted vein-style mineralisation until 2014. 

In  the  Moto  district  gold  mineralisation  has  a  different  form  and  style.  The  major  deposits  in  this  district  are  of  the 
disseminated style hosted within a sequence of coarse volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks. Quartz and quartz-carbonate 
veins are present within the ore zones but are found to be generally barren. 

Summary of Potential 

The Mambasa Gold Project is located within the Mambasa Greenstone Belt, Ituri District of the Kilo-Moto Goldfields, a 
highly prospective regional scale series of greenstone belts hosting numerous small-scale artisanal workings exploiting 
gold occurrences as well as world class deposits such as the 20 Moz Kibali Gold Project. 

The Project can be classified as ‘greenfields’, centred on an historical high grade gold mining area exploited by artisan 
miners.  There is  little  information  available  on previous  exploration and  exploitation  activities,  with the  exception of 
reference to limited Belgian Congo government reports and historic maps. 

Based on the age of the host rocks, the structural and tectonic setting of the region, the alteration and deformation styles 
observed  in  the  field,  and  the  association  of  gold  and  mineralization  with  quartz  veins  and  fault  zones,  the  style  of 
mineralisation interpreted to occur within the Mambasa licences is orogenic vein hosted and mesothermal disseminated 
gold.    The  Company  considers  the  potential  for  the  Mambasa  Gold  Project  to  host  significant  economic  gold 
mineralisation as favourable and further work is warranted.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

The Company was incorporated on 29 May 2017 to carry on the business of mineral exploration with a specific focus on 
gold exploration. The Company's primary aim in the near-term is to explore for, discover and develop gold deposits on 
the  mineral  exploration  projects  within  Australia  and  the  Democratic  Republic  of  Congo  (“DRC”)  it  has  acquired 
subsequent to the reporting date. The Projects are prospective for gold and/or base metals. They range from early-stage 
exploration over areas that have not been subject to significant exploration such as the Crackerjack Project, Australia, to 
more  advanced  exploration  in  areas  that  have  recorded  historical  mining  activity  and  current  artisanal  activity  at  the 
Mambasa Project, DRC. Also refer to the Subsequent Event commentary on page 8 of this Directors’ Report. 

The  Company  will  also  be  actively  reviewing  additional  projects  that  would  create  wealth  for  the  company  and  its

(a)  Remuneration Policy 

The  remuneration  policy  of  Okapi  Resources  Limited  has  been  designed  to  align  director  objectives  with 
shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual 
basis in line with market rates.  By providing components of remuneration that are indirectly linked to share price 
appreciation (in the form of options and/or performance rights), executive, business and shareholder objectives are 
aligned. The board of Okapi Resources Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective 
in  its  ability  to  attract  and  retain  the  best  directors  to  run  and  manage  the  company,  as  well  as  create  goal 
congruence  between  directors  and  shareholders.  The  board’s  policy  for  determining  the  nature  and  amount  of 
remuneration for board members is as follows: 

(i)  Executive Directors & Other Key Management Personnel 

The remuneration policy and the relevant terms and conditions has been developed by the full Board of 
Directors as the company does not have a Remuneration Committee due to the size of the Company and 
the Board. In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board reviews local and international trends 
among  comparative  companies  and  industry  generally.  It  examines  terms  and  conditions  for  employee 
incentive  schemes,  benefit  plans  and  share  plans.  Reviews  are  performed  to  confirm  that  executive 
remuneration is in line with market practice and is reasonable in the context of Australian executive reward 
practices.   

The Company is an exploration entity, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. Consistent with 
attracting and retaining talented executives, directors and senior executives are paid market rates associated 
with individuals in similar positions, within the same industry. 

Mr.  Ferguson was  appointed  Managing Director on 29  May  2017  and  receives  an  annual  remuneration 
package  of  $167,250  through  an  Executive  Services  Agreement.  Mr  Ferguson  provides  his  services  as 
Managing Director  through Ridgeback Holdings  Pty  Ltd as  trustee for  the  Ferguson Family  Trust.   Mr 
Ferguson’s employment may be terminated by the Company giving 6 months’ notice. The Company may 
otherwise  terminate  his  employment  immediately  for  cause.  There  are  no  other  service  or  consulting 
agreements in place with key management personnel. At this stage due to the size of the Company, no 
remuneration consultants have been used. The Board’s remuneration policies are outlined below: 

Fixed Remuneration 

All executives receive a base cash salary which is based on factors such as length of service and experience 
as  well  as  other  fringe  benefits.    If  entitled,  all  executives  also  receive  a  superannuation  guarantee 
contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.50% and do not receive any other retirement 
benefits.

Directors’ Report 
For the period ended 30 June 2017 

Short-term Incentives (STI) 

Under the Company’s current remuneration policy, executives can from time to time receive short-term 
incentives in the form of cash bonuses. No short term incentives were paid in the current financial year. 
The  Board  is  currently  determining  the  criteria  of  eligibility  for  short-term  incentives  and  will  set  key 
performance indicators to appropriately align shareholder wealth and executive remuneration. 

Long-term Incentives (LTI) 

Executives are encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the company and it is therefore the Company’s 
objective to provide incentives for participants to partake in the future growth of the Company and, upon 
becoming shareholders in the Company, to participate in the Company’s profits and dividends that may be 
realised in future years. The Board considers that this equity performance linked remuneration structure is 
effective in aligning the long-term interests of Company executives and shareholders as there exists a direct 
correlation between shareholder wealth and executive remuneration. 

(ii)  Non-Executive Directors 

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for 
time, commitment and responsibilities.  In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board review 
local and international trends among comparative companies and the industry generally.  Typically, the 
Company will compare non-executive remuneration to companies with similar market capitalisations in the 
exploration and resource development sector. 

(b)  Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration 

No relationship exists between the Company performance, earnings, shareholder wealth and Directors’ and 
Executive remuneration for this financial period. With the exception of the Managing Director, no executive 
is receiving any base remuneration. No remuneration is currently performance related.

Corporate Governance Statement 
For the period ended 30 June 2017 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  Okapi  Resources  Limited  (“Okapi”)  is  responsible  for  the  corporate  governance  of  the 
Company. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of Okapi on behalf of the shareholders by whom they 
are  elected  and  to  whom  they  are  accountable.  The  Company’s  governance  approach  aims  to  achieve  exploration, 
development and financial success while meeting stakeholders’ expectations of sound corporate governance practices by 
proactively determining and adopting the most appropriate corporate governance arrangements. 

ASX Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires listed companies to disclose in their Annual Report the extent to which the Company 
will follow the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in its publication Corporate Governance 
Principles  and  Recommendations  (3rd  edition)  (ASX  Recommendations).  The  Corporate  Governance  Statement  is 
current as at 30 June 2017, and has been approved by the Board of Directors. 

The Recommendations are not mandatory, however the Recommendations that will not be followed have been identified 
and  reasons  provided  for  not  following  them  along  with  what  (if  any)  alternative  governance  practices  the  Company 
intends to adopt in lieu of the recommendation. The Company has adopted the following Corporate Governance Poliies 
lan which provides the written terms of reference for the Company’s corporate governance duties. 

Due to the current size and nature of the existing Board and the magnitude of the Company’s operations, the Board does 
not consider that the Company will gain any benefit from individual Board committees and that its resources would be 
better utilised in other areas as the Board is of the strong view that at this stage the experience and skill set of the current 
Board is sufficient to perform these roles. 

The Company has established the following Charter and Corporate Governance Policies, and which are available on the

No 

Explanation 

The Company has not adopted a Diversity Policy. 
The Board considers that a diversity policy is not 
necessary given the current size and scope of the 
Company's operations. 

The Company has adopted in its Board Charter a 
process for evaluation of the Board, its committees 
and individual Directors. This process is conducted 
by the Board. The Board also performs a 
commentary function under the Nomination and 
Remuneration Policy. The Company will disclose if 
a performance evaluation has been conducted.  

The Company has in place a formal process for 
evaluation of its key executives. The Nomination and 
Remuneration Policy provides that the Board will 
undertake performance evaluation of the Directors 
and senior management on at least an annual basis 
Performance of Directors and senior management is 
assessed against performance criteria set by the 
Board. 

The Company does not have a nomination committee 
at this stage. The Board considers that, given the 
current size and scope of the Company's operations, 
efficiencies or other benefits would not be gained by 
establishing a separate nomination committee.  
The Company does not currently have a skills or 
diversity matrix in relation to the Board members. 
The Board considers that such a matrix is not 
necessary given the current size and scope of the 
Company's operations.  
Disclosure of the names of Directors considered by 
the Board to be independent will be provided in the 
Company's annual reports. At the Prospectus Date, 
Leonard Math is considered to be independent for 
the purposes of ASX Recommendation 2.3. Details 
of the Directors' interests, positions, associations and 
relationships are provided in Sections Error! 
Reference source not found., Error! Reference 
source not found. and Error! Reference source not 
found.. The length of service of each Director will 
be provided in the annual report for each financial 
year. . 
The Board is not comprised of a majority of 
independent Directors. There is currently one 
Director who satisfies the criteria for independence 
for the purposes of ASX Recommendation 2.3, being

A listed entity should have a program for inducting new

(b) 

have a code of conduct for its directors, senior 

disclose that code or a summary of it. 

No

Principal 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting 
Recommendation 4.1 
The board of a listed entity should: 
(a) have an audit committee which: 
(1) has at least three members, all of whom are 
nonexecutive directors and a majority of whom are 
independent directors; and 
(2) is chaired by an independent director, who is not the 
chair of the board; or 
(b) if it does not have an audit committee, disclose that fact 
and the processes it employs that independently verify and 
safeguard the integrity of its corporate reporting, including 

Leonard Math. However, given the size and scope of 
the Company's operations, the Board considers that it 
has relevant experience in the mining and 
exploration sector (particularly in relation to gold 
mining and exploration) and is appropriately 
structured The Board intends to appoint further 
independent Non-Executive Directors as the size and 
scale of the Company's operations warrant. 
The Chairman of the Board (Klaus Eckhof) is 
considered not to be an independent Director for the 
purposes of ASX Recommendation 2.3 as he is a 
substantial shareholder in the Company, but he does 
not perform the role of chief executive officer. The 
Managing Director (Nigel Ferguson) performs the 
role of chief executive officer. 
The Company does not currently have a formal 
induction program for new Directors nor does it have 
a formal professional development program for 
existing Directors. The Board does not consider that 
a formal induction program is necessary given the 
current size and scope of the Company's operations. 

The Board believes that the success of the Company 
will be enhanced by a strong ethical culture within 
the organisation. 
Accordingly, the Company has established a Code of 
Conduct which sets out the standards with which the 
directors, officers, managers, employees and 
consultants of the Company (and any future 
subsidiaries) are expected to comply in relation to 
the affairs of the Company's business and when 
dealing with each other, Shareholders and the 
broader community. 
The Code also outlines the procedure for reporting 
any breaches of the Code and the possible 
disciplinary action the Company may take in respect 
of any breaches. 
In addition to their obligations under the 
Corporations Act in relation to inside information, all 
Directors, employees and consultants have a duty of 
confidentiality to the Company in relation to 
confidential information they possess. 

The Company has not established a separate audit 
committee. Under the Charter, the role of the audit 
committee is undertaken by the full Board. The 
Board considers that, given its current size and that 
only one Director holds an executive position in the 
Company, efficiencies or other benefits would not be 
gained by establishing a separate audit committee. 
As the Company's operations grow, the Board will 
reconsider forming a separate audit committee. The 
audit functions of the Board are set out in the Charter 
which is available on the Company's website.

receive communications from, and send communications 
to, the entity and its security registry electronically. 

Yes 

Principle 7: Recognise and manage 
Recommendation 7.1 
The board of a listed entity should: 
have a committee or committees to oversee risk; or 
if it does not have a risk committee or committees disclose 
that fact and the processes it employs for overseeing the 
entity's risk management framework. 

No 

Recommendation 7.2 
The board or a committee of the board should: 
review the entity's risk management framework at least 
annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound; and  
disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether such 
a review has taken place. 

Yes 

▪ through information provided directly to 
Shareholders; and 
▪ at general meetings of the Company. 
The Company supports Shareholder participation in 
general meetings and seeks to assist such 
participation, by ensuring that meetings are held at 
convenient times and places. The Company will 
provide all of the information that is relevant to 
Shareholders in making decisions on matters to be 
voted on at the meeting. The Company will use 
general meetings as a tool to communicate with 
Shareholders and give Shareholders a reasonable 
opportunity to ask questions of the Board and to 
otherwise participate in the meeting. Means to 
encourage and facilitate Shareholder participation 
will be reviewed regularly to encourage Shareholder 
participation.

Shareholders by electronic means is an efficient way 
to distribute information in a timely and convenient 
manner. The Company provides new Shareholders 
with the option to receive communications from the 
Company electronically.

management committee. The Board is responsible 
for supervising management's framework of control 
and accountability systems to enable risk to be 
assessed and managed in accordance with the 
Company's Risk Management Policy. The Board 
considers that, given the current size and scope of the 
Company's operations and that only one Director 
holds an executive position in the Company, 
efficiencies or other benefits would not be gained by 
establishing a separate risk management 
committee.At a later date the Board will consider 
forming a separate risk management committee. 
However, the Company has adopted a Risk 
Management Policy to provide a framework for 
identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing 
risk.  
The Board has responsibility for the monitoring of 
risk management and will review the Company's risk 
management framework on an annual basis to ensure 
the Company's risk management framework 
continues to be effective.  
Disclosure of the outcome of the annual risk 
management review will be included in the annual 
report.

Okapi Resources Limited 
Corporate Governance Statement 
For the period ended 30 June 2017 

Explanation 

The Company does not currently have an internal 
audit function. This function is undertaken by 
relevant staff under the direction of the full Board. 
The Company has adopted internal control 
procedures pursuant to its Risk Management Policy. 
The Board considers that an internal audit function is 
not currently necessary given the current size and 
scope of the Company's operations. At a later date, 
the Board will consider adopting an internal audit 
function. 
The Company's primary activity is mineral 
exploration and development with a focus on gold. 
These activities do not expose the Company to any 
particular economic, environmental or social 
sustainability risks not faced by all other participants 
in mineral exploration in Western Australia or the 
DRC. The Board has considered on an on-going 
basis whether the Company has any particular 
exposure to material economic, environmental and 
social sustainability risks in the DRC and, if 
identified, the Company will include details in its 
annual report for each financial year of such risks. 

The Company does not have a separate remuneration 
committee. The role of the remuneration committee 
is undertaken by the Board. The Board considers 
that, given its current size and that only one Director 
holds an executive position in the Company, no 
benefitwould be gained by establishing a separate 
remuneration committee. The Company will set out 
the remuneration paid to Directors annually in the 
remuneration report contained within the Company's 
annual report to Shareholders.At a later date the 
Board will consider forming a separate remuneration 
committee.  
The Company's policies and practises regarding the 
remuneration of Executive and Non- Executive 
Directors and other senior executives will be set out 
in the remuneration report contained in the 
Company's annual report for each financial 
The Company does not have an equity-based 
remuneration scheme or plan at the Prospectus Date. 
However, the Company's Securities Trading Policy 
sets out the circumstances in which the Company's 
directors, executives, employees, contractors, 
consultants and advisors (Designated Persons) are 
prohibited from dealing in the Company's securities.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a)  General information 

Okapi Resources Limited 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the period ended 30 June 2017 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These 
policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for Okapi Resources 
Limited. 

The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. 

Okapi Resources Limited is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial 
statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 30 September 2017. The directors have the power to amend 
and reissue the financial statements. 

(b)  Basis of preparation 

These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  and  the  Corporations  Act 
2001. Okapi Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 

Historical cost convention 
These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis under the historical cost convention. Cost is 
based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian 
dollars, unless otherwise noted. 

Adoption of new and revised standards 
In  the  period  ended  30  June  2017,  the  Directors  have  reviewed  all  of  the  new  and  revised  Standards  and 
Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company’s operations and effective for the current 
annual reporting period. It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of 
the  new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  on  the  Company’s  business  and,  therefore,  no  change  is 
necessary to Company accounting policies. 

The  Directors  have  also  reviewed  all  new  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have  been  issued  but  are  not  yet 
effective for the period ended 30 June 2017. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is 
no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company.  

(c)  Income tax 

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based 
on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities 
attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. 

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end 
of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate 
taxable  income.  Management  periodically  evaluates  positions  taken  in  tax  returns  with  respect  to  situations  in 
which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis 
of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. 

Deferred income tax 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 consolidated financial statements. However, 
the  deferred  income  tax  is  not  accounted  for  if  it  arises  from  initial  recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a 
transaction other than a business combination that at the time  of the transaction affects neither accounting nor 
taxable profit or  loss.  Deferred  income  tax  is  determined  using  tax  rates  (and  laws)  that  have been enacted or 
substantially enacted by the reporting 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. 

29 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
Okapi Resources Limited 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the period ended 30 June 2017 

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and 
tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal 
of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

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 tax 
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 is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in 
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity, respectively. 

(d) 

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure 

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

(i) 

(ii) 

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

at least one of the following conditions is also met: 

(a) the  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditures  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  successful 

development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or 

(b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage 
which  permits  a  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or  otherwise  of  economically  recoverable 
reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. 

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, 
exploratory  drilling,  trenching  and  sampling  and  associated  activities  and  an  allocation  of  depreciation  and 
amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities.  General and administrative costs are only 
included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational 
activities in a particular area of interest. 

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

(e)  Revenue 

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the 
revenue can be reliably measured.   

(f)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash reserves in the statement of financial position comprise cash on hand. 

(g)  Trade and other receivables 

Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An 
estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-
off as incurred.

Okapi Resources Limited 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the period ended 30 June 2017 

(h)  Goods and services tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the net asset 
or part of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance 
sheet. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing or financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

(i)  Trade and other payables 

Trade and other payables are carried at cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company 
prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future 
payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. 

(j)  Contributed equity 

Ordinary shares and options are classified as contributed equity.  Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue 
of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

2. 

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and 
price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability 
of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company. 

Risk  management  is  carried out  by  the full  Board of  Directors  as  the  Company  believes  that  it  is  crucial  for  all  Board 
members to be involved in this process. The Board, with the assistance of senior management as required, has responsibility 
for identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the Board on risk management. 

(a) Market risk 

(i) Foreign exchange risk 

The Company has minimal operations internationally and there are currently limited exposures to foreign exchange risk 
arising from currency exposures. 

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a 
currency  that  is  not  the  entity’s  functional  currency  and  net  investments  in  foreign  operations.  The  Company  has  not 
formalised a foreign currency risk management policy, however it monitors its foreign currency expenditure in light of 
exchange rate movements. 

 (ii) Price risk 

Given the current level of operations, the Company is not exposed to price risk. 

(iii) Interest rate risk 

The Company is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents.  

For the period ended 30 June 2017, an aggregate of $61 interest was earned and does not warrant any sensitivity analysis 
based upon the insignificance of this value. 

(b) Credit risk 

The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount (net of provision for impairment) of those 
assets  as  disclosed  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  and  notes  to  the  financial  statements.  The  only  significant 
concentration of credit risk for the Company is the cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions. All bank 
deposits are held with the major Australian banks for which the Board evaluate credit risk to be minimal. 

As the Company does not presently have any trade debtors, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal 
credit risk management policy is not maintained. 

(c) Liquidity risk 

The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient 
cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Company. Due to the nature 
of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with 
the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets 
in conjunction with the Company’s current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital 
raisings as required. 

The financial liabilities of the Company are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the Statement of financial 
position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date. 

(d) Fair value estimation 

The  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  must  be  estimated  for  recognition  and  measurement  or  for 
disclosure purposes. All financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company at the balance date are recorded at amounts 
approximating their carrying amount. 

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values 
due to their short-term nature.

8.  ISSUED CAPITAL (Continued) 

(d)  Capital risk management 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so 
that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 
Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access 
to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Company’s 
capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet 
exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Company’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is 
maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as 
required.

RESOURCE LIMITED 

Report on the Financial Report

statement  of  profit  and  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  statement  of 
changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the period 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  Company  is  in

30  June  2017  and  of  its  financial  performance  for  the  period  then

ii)  comply  with  Australian Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations 

Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion

Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report.

Key Audit Matters 

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

How our audit addressed the 
key audit matter 

the 

We  have 
IPO, 
reviewed 
company  resolutions  and  material 
agreements  and  determined  that 
the  information  disclosed  as  events 
occurring  after  the  reporting  date  is 
accurate and complete.  

Key Audit Matter 

Events  Occurred  Subsequent 
to the Reporting Date 
(refer note17) 

The  company  was  incorporated  on 
29  May  2017  and  issued  an  Initial 
Prospectus  Offer  (IPO)  on  28  June 
2017  to  raise  capital.    The  company 
raised  the  funds  subsequent  to  year 
end and therefore all matters relating 
to  the  IPO,  material  agreements  that 
would  have  come  into  effect  and 
share  allotments  would  have  to  be 
accurately  disclosed  in  the  financial 
report.   

Other information 

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.    The  other  information 
comprises  the  information  in the  Directors’  Report for the  period  ended  30  June 
2017, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon. 

Our  opinion  on  the  financial  report  does  not  cover  the  other  information  and 
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  the  other  information,  we  are  required  to  report  that  fact.    We 
have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial 
report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the 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. 

41 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In  preparing  the  financial  report,  the  directors  are  responsible  for  assessing  the 
Company’s  ability  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 Company or to cease operations, 
or have 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 the financial report. 

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Australia  Auditing  Standards,  we 
exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout 
the audit.  We also: 

 

Identify  and  assess  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  report, 
whether  due  to  fraud  or  error,  design  and  perform  audit  procedures 
responsive  to  those  risks,  and  obtain  audit  evidence  that  is  sufficient  and 
appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  opinion.    The  risk  of  not  detecting  a 
material  misstatement  resulting  from  fraud  is  higher  than  for  one  resulting 
from  error,  as  fraud  may  involve  collusion,  forgery,  intentional  omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

  Obtain and understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to 
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for 
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s 
internal control. 

  Evaluate 

the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and 

the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the 
directors. 

  Conclude on  the  appropriateness  of the  directors’  use of the going  concern 
basis  of  accounting  and,  based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a 
material  uncertainty  exists  related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast 
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  If 
we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are  required  to  draw 
attention  in  our  auditor’s  report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  financial 
report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.    Our 
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our 
auditor’s  report.    However,  future  events  or  conditions  may  cause  the 
Company to cease to continue as a going concern. 

  Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial 
report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents 
the  underlying  transactions  and  events  in  a  manner  that  achieves  fair 
presentation. 

42 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence 

financial 
information  of  the  entities  or  business  activities  within  the  Company  to 
express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report.  We  are  responsible  for  the 
direction,  supervision  and  performance  of  the  Company  audit.  We  remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

regarding 

the 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned 
scope  and  timing  of  the  audit  and  significant  audit  findings,  including  any 
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

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. 

From  the matters  communicated  with the  directors,  we  determine those matters 
that  were  of  most  significance  in  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  of  the  current 
period  and  are  therefore  key  audit  matters.    We  describe  these  matters  in  our 
auditor’s  report  unless  law  or  regulation  precludes  public  disclosure  about  the 
matter  or  when,  in  extremely  rare  circumstances,  we  determine  that  a  matter 
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of 
doing  so  would  reasonably  be  expected  to  outweigh  public  interest  benefits  of 
such communication.

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We  have  audited  the  Remuneration  Report  included  on  pages  5  to  7  of  the

In  our  opinion,  the  Remuneration  Report  of  Okapi  Resource  Limited,  for  the

on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
