ABOUT US
Panoramic Resources Limited (ASX: PAN) is a Western Australian company which owns the Savannah
Nickel Project in the East Kimberley. Panoramic successfully commissioned and operated the Project
from 2004 until 2016 before the mine was placed on care and maintenance. Following the discovery of
the Savannah North orebody, the mine was recommissioned in 2018 and operations were temporarily
suspended in April 2020.
Since that time Panoramic has completed an updated Mine Plan for Savannah which has outlined an
attractive near-term nickel sulphide mine restart opportunity. Underground pre-production development
works at Savannah recommenced in August 2020. Completion of these works is expected to leave the
Project in a position to be restarted in mid-2021.

LETTER FROM THE
NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIR
Dear fellow shareholders,
There has unquestionably been significant change across the
business in FY2020. This extends from the Savannah mine site
to the operating strategy and from the Company’s balance sheet
to the senior leadership team.
Throughout this change your Board has remained committed
to ensuring our actions support our key objective: ensuring
shareholders realise the significant, intrinsic long-term value
which exists in our investment in Savannah, an established, de-
risked nickel sulphide asset located in a first class mining region
and with near-term production capability.
The lower than forecast development rates, production levels
and financial returns achieved in the first half of FY2020 after
the restart of the operation left it vulnerable when the onset of
COVID-19 placed further restrictions on our ability to ramp-up
the operation.
In light of these circumstances, the Board took the difficult
decision to suspend operations, recapitalise the Company’s
balance sheet and preserve the value of our asset until it could
be further de-risked. The new management team overcame
many challenges to successfully achieve this outcome and we
are grateful for their significant effort in this regard.
From here, we now aim to place Savannah in a position where
a lower risk restart decision can be considered by mid-2021,
while maintaining full operational flexibility on the timing of this
decision. As a business we remain confident about the medium
and longer term demand outlook for nickel, copper and cobalt
and believe Savannah concentrates will be highly sought after
when production resumes.
The FY2020 period also saw the Company respond to an
unsolicited and highly conditional takeover offer from IGO Limited
in November 2019. Following a considered process, including
engagement with other parties, the Board recommended
the rejection of the Offer in early December 2019. This
recommendation was under review following the receipt of an
Independent Expert’s Report on 23 December 2019 when IGO
declared its intention to allow the Offer to lapse on 27 December
2019 without further engagement with the Company.
The successful recapitalisation of Panoramic in May 2020
introduced leading nickel miner Western Areas Limited as a new
19.9% cornerstone shareholder and facilitated the retirement of
all debt with a sufficient balance of working capital to support our
future growth strategy. This provides a much stronger foundation
for our business moving forward.
In conjunction with the recapitalisation, I moved from the role
of Lead Independent Non-Executive Director to Non-Executive
Chair, with then Chair Peter Sullivan assuming a Non-Executive
Director Role. Peter took over as Chair from Brian Phillips in
November 2019 and I would like to thank Brian and Peter for
their efforts.
I would also like to acknowledge the significant contributions
founding Managing Director Peter Harold and former CFO
and Company Secretary Trevor Eton made to the business.
Peter left the business in August 2019 after generating strong
returns for Panoramic shareholders over his 18 years with the
Company. The retirement of Trevor in December 2019 and was
an important part of the Company’s success over many years.
New Managing Director Victor Rajasooriar and CFO Michael
Ball have brought energy, capability and professionalism to their
roles and on behalf of the Board and shareholders I would like to
extend my appreciation for their leadership.
Our Non-Executive Board members have all gone well above
what would normally be expected of them during FY2020 to
guide the business through some difficult challenges which is
appreciated.
Most importantly, I would like to thank all of our shareholders
for their patience, support and advice throughout FY2020. We
believe the journey the Company has been on during the past 12
months has strengthened and enhanced our future growth path.
Yours sincerely,
Nick Cernotta
Non-Executive Chair

LETTER FROM THE
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Dear fellow shareholders,
I joined the Company in early November 2019 at a time of high
activity across all aspects of the business.
Operationally, our Savannah mine was not meeting its production
or development targets and at a corporate level, we were
responding to an unsolicited takeover offer from IGO Limited.
One of my first tasks was to complete an Operational Review
for Savannah which, while identifying several key areas which
required change, confirmed the fundamental integrity and
opportunity of the Savannah North discovery.
We were in the process of implementing a number of key
strategic changes – including the mobilisation of an experienced
underground mining contractor – when the COVID-19 pandemic
took hold and movements of people, consumables and
equipment into the East Kimberley region became significantly
more restricted and difficult.
In light of these circumstances, the Board supported the
recommendation to temporarily suspend operations at Savannah
rather than face the increased risk of a further extension to the
ramp up and negative cash flow period.
Our site and head office team went about this task diligently and
efficiently, with the team demobilised and the site placed on care
and maintenance within three weeks of the suspension decision.
This process was completed safely and without incident which
is a credit to the team.
Savannah is an important employer and member of the East
Kimberley community and we were acutely aware of the
importance of a robust response to the COVID-19 pandemic
to our staff and local communities. We responded swiftly to
travel restrictions, distancing protocols, increased hygiene
measures across our entire logistics chain and communicated
regularly with all employees. I am proud to say this was effective
in ensuring we had no positive covid test results within our
business or communities.
Following the operational suspension and recapitalisation of
the balance sheet, our focuss turned to reviewing the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve, then enhancing the Mine Plan. This
work was completed in July 2020 with very satisfying results.
The outcomes included an increased 13 year mine life, largely
underpinned by Reserves, and very attractive financial outcomes
based on both base case and consensus forward pricing.
I am confident through all of our recent experience and revised
technical studies we now have a far more robust operating
strategy to move forward with.
Underground development work to complete the ventilation
raise at Savannah North and preparing more areas for future
mining got underway in August 2020 and exploration on near-
mine and regional targets will follow in September and October
respectively. This program has the clear potential to bring more
material into the Mine Plan, along with higher risk but more
transformational opportunities in the wider land package.
Having done a lot of hard work to get to this position, it is important
to remain focussed on the future. The Company is not alone in
having a positive outlook for the price of nickel and copper which
is based on a combination of supply and demand factors.

There are few nickel sulphide operations with the operating
history, established infrastructure, mine development and
near-term production capability of Savannah. Economic nickel
sulphide deposits are hard to find and will become increasingly
valuable over time based on consensus price forecasts.
The positive outlook is of course driven by the significant new
demand element which is emerging from electric vehicles and
batteries which will require many new nickel mines to come
online over the next decade to fulfil demand.
Panoramic’s Board and Management are aiming to have
Savannah in a position to capitalise on this thematic well into
the next decade for the benefit of our shareholders and local
stakeholders. We look forward to a stronger FY2021.
Yours sincerely,
Victor Rajasooriar
Managing Director and CEO

SAVANNAH NICKEL-COPPER-COBALT
PROJECT
An established, high quality and long life nickel sulphide asset in the
top tier mining jurisdiction of Western Australia
Overview
The Savannah nickel-copper-cobalt Project is located
240km south of Kununurra in the East Kimberley region of
Western Australia. The Project infrastructure includes an
underground mine, 1.0 million tonne per annum processing
plant, paste fill plant, a 180 room accommodation village,
workshops, office buildings, tailings and water storage
facilities and other associated infrastructure. Savannah
was constructed in 2003 and commissioned in late 2004
initially sourcing ore from an open pit. After 18 months,
the operations transitioned to underground mining.
More than $100 million has been invested in mining,
processing and site infrastructure with +12 years of
operating history.
All of Panoramic’s tenements in the Kimberley District are
100%-owned. The Company’s tenement holdings are
shown at the back of this Annual Report.

PANTON PROJECT
Background
Panton is located 60km south of the Savannah Nickel Project in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia. Panton is a
significant PGM Resource containing ~1.0Moz Pt at 2.2g/t and ~1.1Moz Pd at 2.4g/t with exploration potential at depth and
along strike.
Panoramic considers the Panton Project to be a quality PGM development asset which fits within the Company’s commodity
diversification and growth strategy and is a part of its “Kimberley Hub” concept. Testwork on Panton ore by Panoramic in 2014/15
demonstrated that high-grade PGM concentrates (circa 250g/t PGM) can be produced by standard fine grinding and flotation
techniques. In 2015 Panoramic entered into a four-year research agreement with Curtin University to investigate alternative
extraction methods applicable to Panton ore. The research agreement ended in September 2019.
Testwork completed in FY2019 and FY2020 showed that in addition to producing a high-grade PGM concentrate, a “metallurgical
grade” chromite concentrate by-product (circa 40% Cr2O3) can be recovered from the high-grade PGM concentrate flotation
tails using simple wet high intensity magnetic separation (WHIMS) techniques. Testwork by Curtin University in FY2019 focused
on evaluating the feasibility of producing further value-added direct Pt, Pd and Au refinery feed products from Panton while
maintaining the ability to produce the chromite by-product. Tests on high-grade PGM concentrate samples showed that direct,
high quality refinery feed products can be produced from the concentrate by roasting, HCl leaching and direct precipitation
techniques.
Outcomes of Detailed Review
In FY2019, the Company commenced a detailed review of the Project. The review covered all aspects of the Project, bringing
together geology, resources, mining and processing with the aim to produce a financial model based on the latest possible
processing route designs and their respective operating and capital costs.
The review concluded that while the addition of the chromite by-product concentrate stream and direct high quality PGM refinery
feed products add value to the Project, underground mining is currently marginal due to the narrow and variable nature of the
ore and associated high capital development costs. It was also assessed that a smaller open pit only Project lasting three years
was slightly more attractive than the underground option.

FY2020 EXPLORATION REVIEW
Savannah Mine
The Company extended the Savannah North 1570 Drill Drive 150m to the east to facilitate infill resource definition drilling of the
Savannah North orebody to a nominal 25m by 25m spacing down to the 1290m RL.
Drilling commenced from the 1570 East Drill Drive in July 2019 with the initial focus to infill the area about the first three planned
production levels between 1340m RL to 1380m RL. When site operations were suspended on 14 April 2020, 113 infill resource
definition drill holes for a total of 25,547 drill metres had been completed. The FY2020 infill resource definition drill holes have
been incorporated in the latest Savannah North Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates reported by Panoramic.
In mine exploration will resume at Savannah in the second half of 2020, with an initial hole planned to test an area containing a
series of strong down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) anomalies that have been modelled and interpreted to reflect the western
continuation of the Savannah North Upper Zone resource, scheduled to commence in October.
Savannah Regional
FY2020 exploration activities were limited as the Company focussed on the restart of mining operation. Several exploration
programs that were commenced in FY2019 were completed in FY2020, including programs on Frog Hollow and Keller Creek.
Regional exploration will resume in the second half of 2020 with initial nickel prospectivity tests involving drilling and geophysical
surveying to be completed on the Oxide, Norton and Stoney Creek intrusions.
Frog Hollow VTM Project
In September 2018, the Company drilled three holes into the Frog Hollow intrusion located to the north of Savannah. While no
evidence was found for the existence of more nickel prospective, ultramafic lithologies at depth within the intrusion, all three
drill holes did intersect broad thicknesses containing titanomagnetite accumulations which assaying confirmed to be strongly
anomalous in vanadium; grading up to 0.40% V2O5.
Based on the size of the Frog Hollow intrusion, the spacing between the three drill holes and the consistency of the titanomagnetite
accumulations encountered by the drill holes, Panoramic believe the intrusion has the potential to host a large low to moderate
grade vanadiferous titanomagnetite (VTM) resource.
To determine the vanadium grade and recovery that might be recovered to a VTM concentrate, the Company selected three
intervals from drill hole SMD185 for LIMS testing. The intervals and head assays for the three selected intervals were as follows:
•
•
•
34m @ 0.36% V2O5, 5.57% TiO2, 25.93% Fe2O3 from 19m;
45m @ 0.25% V2O5, 3.06% TiO2, 17.73% Fe2O3 from 160m; and
53m @ 0.17% V2O5, 3.66% TiO2, 15.40% Fe2O3 from 92m.
The LIMS test work results, conducted at 3,000 gauss with the closing screen for the Davis Tube set at 106um, are summarised
in the table below (LIMS test results).

2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 13
Following the LIMS test work, a series of sighter tests were conducted at the ALS Laboratory in Perth to investigate techniques
that could be used to recover the vanadium from the LIMS V2O5 concentrates. To facilitate the test work, a sample of Frog Hollow
high-grade ore (0.36% V2O5) was treated by LIMS at a P80 of 106um. The resultant LIMS Magnetic Concentrate assayed
1.741% V2O5 and contained 87.7% of the V2O5 in a mass pull of 18.4%.
The most promising sighter test work results involved Salt Roasting the LIMS concentrate followed by water leaching to get the
V2O5 into solution where it can be precipitated with ammonium salt to produce, after filtration, V2O5 powder. The un-optimised
test results indicated that an overall recovery of 96% V2O5 into the leach solution was achievable, representing 84.2% of the
V2O5 in LIMS feed.
Test work completed on VTM bearing samples from the Frog Hollow intrusion by the Company during FY2020 has been positive
and demonstrates a potential processing route option for a future project. The preferred processing route would entail LIMS
magnetic separation techniques to produce high-grade V2O5 magnetite rich concentrates, followed by Salt Roasting and water
leaching to extract the V2O5 into solution. Once in solution the vanadium can be precipitated as ammonium polyvanadate
NH4V3O8 and then subjected to thermal decomposition to produce V2O5 powder.
The test results achieved by the Company in FY2020 are preliminary and non-optimised. It is expected that results will improve
once test conditions are optimised.
Keller Creek Graphite Project
The Keller Creek Graphite Project is located just to the west of Savannah on E80/4834. The existence of extensive graphitic
horizons within the Keller Creek tenement was recognised in the late 2000s when Panoramic conducted airborne electromagnetic
(EM) surveys over the area in search of nickel sulphide mineralisation. In June 2019, Panoramic completed an initial drill program
to test the potential thickness and Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) content of the Keller Creek graphite bearing horizons.
The drill program involved 14 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes for a total of 1,368 drill metres. Graphitic bearing lithologies were
intersected in all 14 holes. At a 3% TGC cut-off grade better intercepts include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
10m @ 4.67%TGC from 55m, 6m @ 5.58% TGC from 68m, and 10m @ 4.05% TGC from 82m in SMP180;
4m @ 7.35% TGC from 24m, 8m @ 3.58% TGC from 60m in SMP181;

4m @ 6.82% TGC from 75m in SMP183;

8m @ 3.71% TGC from 39m, 8m @ 3.40% TGC from 71m in SMP191.
In addition to the assay results, samples were submitted for petrological descriptions to investigate graphite flake size and
quality. The samples described had variable graphite contents (or tenor), with most samples having strong (up to 20 vol%) flake
graphite concentrations.
Graphite flake sizes were also variable with large to jumbo sized flake occurring in most samples, correlating with the enhanced
upper amphibolite to granulite facies metamorphic grade of the area. In contrast, lithologies that had been subject to strong
brittle/ductile deformation tended to exhibit a finer flake graphite size due to comminution.
The grade and flake quality of the Keller Creek graphite appears to be very similar to Hexagon Resources Limited’s (ASX: HXG)
McIntosh Project, located 40km to the SE of Savannah, which has a reported Mineral Resource (based on a 3% TGC cut-off
grade) of 23.8 million tonnes grading 4.5 % TGC contained within four separate deposits.
Based on the Company’s initial drill test results and the broad extents of the graphitic horizons within the Keller Creek tenement
demonstrated by previous electromagnetic surveys, there is a high probability that the Keller Creek project tenement contains
large quantities of graphite of a similar grade and quality to the McIntosh Project.

FOCUS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD
Activities planned to be undertaken in FY2021 are anticipated to drive
operational performance, reduce risk and leave the mine capable of
being restarted at the end of FY2021
• Capital works to de-risk the mine and increase flexibility
• Complete underground development towards ventilation raise bore
• Complete Savannah North ventilation raise bore and associated works (FAR #3)
•
•
Advance decline and incline development, to open up the Savannah North orebody
Increase development runway to reduce reliance on remnant Savannah orebody
Exploration
Planning for the next phase of exploration is well advanced with work commenced in September 2020. High priority programs to
be completed under the FY2021 exploration program include:
• Drill test from the underground 1570 Drill Drive an area containing a series of strong down hole electromagnetic (DHEM)
anomalies that have been modelled and interpreted to reflect the western continuation of the Savannah North Upper Zone
resource. Drilling is scheduled to commence in October 2020.
• Using a combination surface diamond drilling, DHEM and surface electromagnetic surveying techniques complete
preliminary Ni prospectivity assessments of the previously untested Oxide, Norton and Stoney Creek intrusions
• Mapping and drill testing of regional ultramafic targets including Nortons

Revenue and Other Income
The Savannah Nickel Project generated $69,097,000 of sales income following the re-commencement of bulk
Savannah nickel/copper/cobalt concentrate shipments to China in February 2019. Other income of $11,248,000
included (1) a gain on the sale of the subsidiary Horizon Gold Limited ($3,812,000); (2) debt forgiveness ($3,719,000);
and (3) positive final quotational sale price adjustments ($2,415,000).
Cost of Production
Total aggregate direct costs of the Savannah Nickel Project were $82,547,000 (2019: $19,429,000).
Corporate and Marketing Costs
Corporate and marketing costs of $7,695,000 (2019: $4,929,000) were higher than the previous reporting period as
a result of the increase in corporate activity and full year impact of higher employee costs following the employment
of new full-time staff in the previous financial year.
Impairment and Reversal of Impairment
As a result of the suspension of operations at the Savannah Nickel Mine, an impairment of $32,948,000 was recorded
against the nickel cash generating unit. In the prior year, as a result of the re-commencement of mining operations at
the Savannah Nickel Project, a reversal of a previous impairment loss of $19,156,000 was made against the carrying
values of the Project’s assets at 31 December 2018.

Review of Financial Condition
Balance Sheet
An impairment reversal of $5,332,000 was recorded immediately prior to the sale of the Thunder Bay North Project
during the period. Refer to note 10 for further details on impairment.
Net Working Capital - current assets less current liabilities
Following the recapitalisation and repayment of debt facilities in June 2020, the Group’s balance sheet is in a strong
position with a net working capital position of $35,835,000 (2019: $14,719,000). However, with the suspension of
operations at Savannah in April 2020 the group is not generating operating cash flows. Pre-production development
commenced in early August 2020 to position the operation to be ready to commence, conditions permitting, towards
the end of the 2021 financial year.
Net Tax Balances
At balance date, the consolidated entity had an unrecognised deferred tax asset value of $74,445,000 (2019:
$48,036,000). Until such time as the Savannah Nickel Project is generating sustainable taxable income, this asset is
not being recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Net Assets/Equity
The net asset position of the consolidated entity increased 43% to $166,085,000 (2019: $116,122,000), primarily due
to (1) the expenditures on pre-production and development activities at the Savannah Nickel Project and (2) the
increase in net cash as a result of the repayment of debt facilities following the recapitalisation in June 2020.
Capital Structure
The debt to equity ratio (borrowings on contributed equity) at 30 June 2020 was 2% (2019: 22%).
Business and Financial Risks
Exposure to movements in nickel, copper, cobalt and diesel (input) prices and the Australian dollar exchange rate to
the United States dollar (A$:US$) are significant business and financial risks in the Nickel Division. As a price-taker,
the consolidated entity has no ability to control the global spot prices it receives for the sales of nickel concentrate
and nickel ore. Any negative commodity price movement directly impacts the business by reducing the sales revenue
the consolidated entity receives in United States dollars. Similarly, the conversion of sales revenue received in United
States dollars into Australian dollars exposes the consolidated entity to movements in the foreign exchange rate
between the Australian dollar and the United States dollar. If the Australian dollar is strong relative to the United
States dollar at the time of conversion, the consolidated entity will receive less Australian dollar revenue.
Furthermore, the commodity prices mentioned above, and the A$:US$ exchange rate has a significant bearing on
the decision and timing of a restart of operations at the Savannah Nickel Project.
The Group has been affected significantly by the impact of COVID-19 (“COVID”), with the impact of COVID being a
significant factor in the decision to suspend operations at the Savannah Nickel Project on 15 April 2020. The Project
is located in the Kimberley region which has been subjected to heightened travel restrictions under the Biosecurity
Act (2015). In response to COVID the Company developed a specific COVID management plan and implemented a
range of measures to minimise the risk of potential transmission of COVID to the Company’s employees and the
communities in which it operates. The Company is closely monitoring COVID related developments including the
potential for stricter travel restrictions in the Kimberley or broader regions in which the Company’s workforce and
suppliers live and operate in. As a result of the suspension of operations at Savannah, activity has reduced to the
necessary care and maintenance activities and pre-production capital works. The company has put in place
contractual measures to provide flexibility and minimise the potential cost of the impact of any further restrictions or
changes to existing restrictions.
The impact of COVID, including any restrictions on travel and the movement of supplies to Savannah has the potential
to impact the activities of the Company by reducing productivities, delaying the completion of planned pre-production
capital works, and/or increasing the cost of performing the Company’s activities. The impact of COVID will also be a
significant factor in the decision and timing of a restart of operations at Savannah which also has the potential to
impact the carrying value of the Company’s assets or certain liabilities such as rehabilitation and restoration costs.
Further disclosures around the potential impact of COVID are contained in the Review of Operations and in the notes
to the financial statements.

Directors' report
30 June 2020
Commodity and US$ Foreign Currency Hedging
To limit the exposure to commodity price risk and foreign exchange currency risk between the Australian dollar and
United States dollar, the consolidated entity utilises commodity and United States dollar foreign exchange derivatives.
All commodity and United States dollar foreign exchange derivatives were closed out during the period.
Risk Management
Other business risks can have an impact on the profitability of the consolidated entity. The recognition, management
and control of these risks are key elements of the Group enterprise-wide risk management framework, as detailed in
the Corporate Governance Statement.
Dividends
No final dividend has been declared for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: nil).
Review of Operations
Nickel Division
Savannah Nickel Project, East Kimberley region, WA
In July 2018, the Company announced the decision to restart operations at the Savannah Nickel Project (“Savannah”),
including the development of and commencement of mining from the Savannah North orebody. Following the
completion of the main refurbishment activities on the Savannah process plant, the ramp-up of production of a bulk
Savannah nickel/copper/cobalt concentrate commenced in December 2018.
A total of 372,842 tonnes of ore was mined during the financial year ended 30 June 2020. Ore was predominately
sourced from the Savannah remnants ore inventory, with challenging mining conditions experienced in this previously
mined ore body. Ore supply was impacted by a localised seismic event early in the year which restricted access to a
key production area in the 1490 level requiring modifications to the mining sequence. The mined head grades were
negatively impacted by the revisions to the stoping sequence and in addition, dilution was higher than expected due
to localised hanging wall instability on the 1665 level.
The Savannah North access decline reached the target level for first level access and on 18 November 2019 with the
1381 crosscut intersecting the Savannah North orebody. By the end of the financial year, two ore levels had been
developed in the 1381 and 1361 levels. Decline and incline ramp advance continued in parallel with orebody
development on the 1381 and 1361 level.
The Savannah North raise boring advanced 415 metres during the year. In late December 2019, ground instability
inside the raise further impacted progress and reaming was paused while a remote laser-scanning survey of the raise
was conducted and an assessment was undertaken of a range of alternative options for completing the raise safely
and reliably. The survey results identified that the zones of instability within the raise were confined to the lower 150
metre section and this information was used to inform a detailed assessment by Panoramic and its independent
geotechnical consultants of the most expedient and cost-effective solution for safely completing the raise.
A detailed implementation plan was established incorporating development of a 490 metre long access drift from the
Savannah decline to intersect the partially completed ventilation raise approximately 690 metres below the surface
collar, and approximately 70 metres above the zone of instability confirmed by the recent down-hole survey.
The operational challenges were compounded by equipment reliability issues and tight employment market conditions
further impacting on the mining productivity from the underground. An Operational Review was undertaken mid
financial year to evaluate several changes to the mining operations model to lift underground operating rates and
efficiencies at Savannah. The existing owner operator mining operations model relied on a combination of second
hand owned equipment supplemented with leased equipment, along with the use of multiple contractors.

1 Mining and processing activities finished around 15 April 2020. The final concentrate shipment for 1,687 tonnes departed
Wyndham Port in June.
The changes evaluated include targeted incorporation of:
•
•
•
newer mining fleet and equipment delivering enhanced reliability;
access to superior maintenance and support services (including personnel); and
recruitment of additional operator skills and expertise.
To safely and efficiently accelerate delivery of forecast development and mining physicals through the adoption of
these changes, a scope of works outlining the underground schedule and planning for the next three years was
provided to several Tier 1 underground mining contractors. The tender process to engage a Tier 1 underground
mining contractor was completed in January 2020 resulting in the award of a three-year underground mining contract
to Barminco Limited (Barminco) in February 2020, with mobilisation taking place on 1 March 2020.
The safety and wellbeing of our employees and contractors is paramount, as is that of the communities in which we
live and operate. Informing the decision to suspend operations was the Company’s view that the circumstances
surrounding COVID could continue for some time. The combination of the significant operational uncertainty, including
the restraints beyond the Company’s control that it imposed, the associated disruption and cost, the impact on
commodity prices, in addition to managing the ramp up of Savannah North (including managing issues which have
previously been outlined by the Company in ASX announcements), resulted in the Panoramic Board taking the
decision on 15 April 2020 to immediately suspend operations at the Savannah Nickel Mine. Essential services, safety
and environmental monitoring continue through the period of suspension of operation.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 27
Directors' report
30 June 2020
Prior to suspending operations, the Company produced 3,417 tonnes of nickel, 2,215 tonnes of copper and 176
tonnes of cobalt in concentrate. The concentrate was trucked to and shipped from the port of Wyndham to China
under the June 2018 Concentrate Sales Agreement with Jinchuan Group Co. Ltd / Sino Nickel Pty Ltd.
As a result of the decision to suspend operations at Savannah, an impairment loss of $32,948,000 was recorded
against the nickel cash generating unit. Refer to note 10 for further details.
Savannah Ore Reserve and Mine Plan
On the 31 July 2020, the Company announced an updated Mine Plan based on an updated Ore Reserve estimate
completed for the Savannah Project by specialist consultants, Entech (refer to ASX announcement 31 July 2020).
The outcomes from the study confirm an attractive, near-term nickel sulphide mine restart opportunity, with Savannah
Ore Reserve (including Savannah North) of 8.3Mt @ 1.23% Ni, 0.59% Cu and 0.08% Co for 102kt Ni, 48.5kt Cu and
7kt Co contained metal.
Figure 1: Mine Plan Production and Site All-in Costs
Nickel Division
Savannah Nickel Project, East Kimberley region, WA
The updated Mine Plan includes some Inferred Resources located near Ore Reserves, which increases the mining
inventory to 10.4Mt @ 1.22% Ni, 0.54% Cu and 0.08% Co for 127kt Ni, 56kt Cu and 8.5Kt Co contained metal. The
Mine Plan consists of approximately 13 years, with average annual production from Savannah over years 1 to 12
estimated at 8,810t Ni, 4,579t Cu and 659t Co metal in concentrate. Site All-in Costs1 over the same period are
estimated to average A$7.54/lb payable Ni (or US$5.27/lb payable Ni) across the life of mine (see Figure 1)2.
The Mine Plan has an attractive Base Case financial outcome, including pre-tax cash flow of A$468M and NPV8 of
A$262M3, with Consensus Case (using consensus commodity price forecasts) delivering pre-tax cash flow of A$637M
and NPV8 of A$343M4 (refer to ASX announcement 31 July 2020).
1 Includes all site mining, processing, general & administrative, freight and concentrate handling costs, capital expenditure and
royalties.

4 Consensus Case financial outcomes of the Mine Plan based on exchange rate of AUD:USD 0.70 and commodity prices provided
by Consensus Economics as outlined in Table 2 of this announcement.
Pre-Production Development Activities - Savannah North
On completion of the updated Mine Plan, mining contractor Barminco safely mobilised to Savannah on 1 August 2020
and commenced completion of a 468 metre horizontal underground development drive. The drive will connect with
the vertical ventilation shaft to complete Fresh Air Raise (FAR 3) at Savannah North. Lateral development is expected
to continue until around October 2020 when it is scheduled to reach the ventilation raise. At this point, RUC Mining
will be engaged to undertake the FAR 3 raiseboring which is expected to be completed around the end of the March
2021 quarter, whilst Barminco will focus on developing additional production levels in Savannah North during the
same period.
Completion of FAR 3 will provide sufficient ventilation to support future full-scale mining operations from Savannah
North in line with the Mine Plan released in late July (refer to ASX announcement 31 July 2020). Completion of FAR
3 will be funded from existing cash reserves.

Exploration and Development Projects
Nickel Division - Savannah Mine
In June 2019, as part of the restart plan, the Company extended the Savannah North 1570 Drill Drive 150m to the
east to facilitate infill resource definition drilling of the Savannah North orebody to a nominal 25m by 25m spacing
down to the 1290m RL.
Drilling commenced from the 1570 East Drill Drive in July 2019 with the initial focus to infill the area about the first
three planned production levels between 1340m RL to 1380m RL. When site operations were suspended on 15 April
2020, 113 infill resource definition drill holes for a total of 25,547 drill metres had been completed. These infill resource
definition drill holes were incorporated in the latest Savannah North Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates
reported by Panoramic in May 2020.
In-mine exploration is scheduled to resume at Savannah in the first half of the 2021 financial year, with an initial hole
planned to test an area containing a series of strong down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) anomalies that have been
modelled and interpreted to reflect the western continuation of the Savannah North Upper Zone resource, scheduled
to commence around October 2020.
Nickel Division - Savannah Regional
Exploration activities during the financial year were limited as the Company’s resources were focussed on the restart
of mining operations at Savannah. Several exploration programs that were commenced in the 2019 financial year
were completed in the current financial year, including programs on Frog Hollow and Keller Creek. Regional
exploration will resume in the first half of the 2020 financial year with initial nickel prospectivity tests involving drilling
and geophysical surveying to be completed on the Oxide, Norton and Stoney Creek intrusions.
PGM Division - Panton PGM Project, East Kimberley, WA
The Company continued to work on the Panton Project during the financial year. Previous test work by Panoramic in
2014/15 demonstrated that high-grade PGM concentrates (circa 250g/t PGM) can be produced by standard fine
grinding and flotation techniques. In 2015 Panoramic entered into a four-year research agreement with Curtin
University MRIWA to investigate alternative extraction methods applicable to Panton ore. The research agreement
ended in September 2019.
Test work completed by Panoramic in financials years 2019 and 2020 showed that in addition to producing a high-
grade PGM concentrate, a “metallurgical grade” chromite by product (circa 40% chromium oxide Cr2O3) can be
recovered from the high-grade PGM concentrate flotation tails using WHIMS techniques. Test work by Curtin
University in on the high-grade PGM concentrates, prior to the end of the research project, showed that direct, high
quality refinery feed products can be produced from the concentrate by roasting, HCl/NaCl/H2O2 leaching and direct
precipitation techniques.
In May 2019, the Company commenced a detailed review of the Project. The review covered all aspects of the Project,
bringing together geology, resources, mining and processing with the aim to produce a financial model based on the
latest possible processing route designs and their respective operating and capital costs.
The review concluded that while the addition of the chromite by-product concentrate stream and direct high quality
PGM refinery feed products add value to the Project, underground mining is currently marginal due to the narrow and
variable nature of the ore and associated high capital development costs. It was also assessed that a smaller open
pit only Project lasting three years was slightly more attractive, especially at the current record high Palladium prices.
Thunder Bay North (TBN) PGM Project, North-West Ontario, Canada
On 2 July 2019, the Company announced that it had signed a binding Letter Agreement with TSX listed Benton
Resources Inc (Benton) to sell its shareholding in wholly owned subsidiary, Panoramic PGMs (Canada) Limited, the
100% owner of the Thunder Bay North (TBN) PGM Project, to Benton for a total of consideration of C$9.0 million
subject to a number of conditions precedent.
The Company and Benton subsequently agreed to terminate the Letter Agreement with Benton assigning its rights
under the Letter Agreement, as amended, to Regency Gold Corp. who subsequently changed their name to Clean
Air Metals Inc (Clean Air Metals).
On 15 May 2020, with all conditions precedent being met, the Company completed the sale of all the shares in
Panoramic PGMs (Canada) Limited (PAN PGMs) to Clean Air Metals (formerly Regency Gold Corp).
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 29
Directors' report
30 June 2020
Under the share purchase agreement announced on 6 January 2020, the purchase price comprised total cash
consideration of C$9.0 million. A deposit of C$0.25 million was received on execution of the agreement. A further
C$4.25 million was received on closing, with C$2.25 million of that to be held in trust by the Company’s Canadian
lawyers pending receipt of a Clearance Certificate as required under the Income Tax Act (Canada).
Deferred consideration of C$4.5 million is due in three equal instalments on the first, second and third anniversaries
of the completion of the sale.
The deferred consideration payments are secured by way of a general security agreement over all of the assets of
PAN PGMs, including the Thunder Bay North Project, and a first ranking charge over the shares held by Clean Air
Metals in PAN PGMs.
Gold Division
Horizon Gold Limited (owner of the Gum Creek Gold Project, Murchison region, WA)
Following the spin-off, capital raising and initial public offering (IPO) of Horizon (ASX Code: HRN) in December 2016,
the Company retained a 51% majority equity interest of 39,030,617 shares in Horizon and as a result, an indirect
interest in the Gum Creek Gold Project. The Company’s shares in Horizon were escrowed from trading on the ASX
until 21 December 2018.
During the financial year the Company divested its’ remaining interest in Horizon, resulting in a loss of control on 18
February 2020. The sale was completed in several traches with a significant proportion of the shareholding sold to
related party and significant shareholder Zeta Resources Limited (Zeta). The Company realised a gain on sale of
$3.812 million. Refer to note 30(b) for further details.
Corporate
The Company is limited by shares and is domiciled and incorporated in Australia.
Significant events of the consolidated entity during the financial period of a corporate nature were as follows:
Significant Changes in the State of Affairs
Suspension of Operations at the Savannah Nickel Mine
On 15 April 2020, as a result of the combination of significant operational uncertainty, disruption and cost escalation
caused by COVID restrictions, a slower ramp up than planned, and depressed commodity prices the Company
elected to suspend operations at the Savannah Nickel Mine. Refer to the Review of Operations and note 10 for
details.
Sale of Thunder Bay North
The Company completed the sale of Panoramic PGMs (Canada) Limited, the 100% owner of the Thunder Bay North
(TBN) PGM Project, to Clean Air Metals. Refer to the Review of Operations and note 10 for details.
Sale of Horizon Gold Limited
The Company completed the sale of its’ interest in Horizon Gold Limited curing the period. Refer to the Review of
Operations and note 30(b) for details.
Debt Funding
On 20 September 2018, the consolidated entity executed the Savannah Facility Agreement (SFA) with Macquarie
Bank Limited (“Macquarie”) for an up to $40 million project loan, including executing an ISDA Master Agreement to
undertake mandatory and discretionary commodity and foreign currency hedging.
The Group undertook several restructures of the facility through 2019 and 2020. On 9 June 2020 all monies owed to
Macquarie under the SFA were repaid in full. Refer to note 20 for details.
The Group secured and repaid two unsecured subordinated loan facilities with related party and significant
shareholder Zeta during the year. A bridging facility for $10.5 million was used in December 2019 to provide working
capital whilst the Company completed an equity raise, with the facility repaid by set off from part of Zeta’s participation
in the equity raise. In April 2020 a facility for $8.0 million was used to provide working capital. The facility was repaid
in full from the proceeds from the June 2020 equity raise. Refer to note 20 for details.

30 June 2020
Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year
In the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report, other than as disclosed previously in
the Review of Operations in relation to the contractor appointment for certain pre-production development works,
there has not arisen any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the
directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those
operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity, in future financial years.
Business Strategies and Prospects
The Company’s primary goal is to explore, develop and mine its resources profitably and return value to shareholders
through capital growth and dividends. The Company’s vision is to broaden its exploration and production base, with
the aim of becoming a major, diversified mining house in the S&P/ASX 100 Index. The likely developments in each
of the consolidated entity’s commodity divisions over the next 12 months are highlighted below:
Nickel Division
In relation to the Savannah Nickel Project, the Company intends to progress certain pre-production development
activities required to enable a restart of mining at Savannah. The pre-production development activities include
completing critical ventilation infrastructure required for mining of the Savannah North orebody. It is anticipated that
completion of these capital works will leave Savannah capable of a restart of operations in the second half of financial
year 2021, external conditions permitting.
Platinum Group Metals (PGM) Division
On the Panton PGM Project in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia, the consolidated entity will continue
with evaluation studies on the development of the Project.
Further information about likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of
those operations in the future financial years has not been included in this report because disclosure would be likely
to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity.
Shares Options
At the date of signing, there were 28,520,525 unissued ordinary shares of the Company under Option (2019: nil).
Refer to note 35(c).
Indemnification of Auditors
To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify the auditors, Ernst & Young (EY), as part of
the terms of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an unspecified
amount). No payments have been made to indemnify Ernst & Young (EY) during or since the financial year.
Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers
The Company has agreed to indemnify the directors and senior executives against all liabilities to another person
(other than the Company or a related body corporate) that may arise from their position as directors and officers of
the Company, except where the liability arises out of certain wrongful acts for which the Company has not agreed to
provide indemnity. The agreement stipulates that the Company will meet the full amount of any such liabilities
including costs and expenses.
During the financial year, the Company has accrued and/or paid premiums in respect of contracts insuring all the
directors and officers against legal costs incurred in defending proceedings. The insurance premiums relate to:
•
•
costs and expenses incurred by the relevant officers in defending legal proceedings, both civil and criminal
and whatever the outcome; and
other liabilities that may arise from their position, with the exception of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty
or improper use of information or position to gain a personal advantage.

(b) Remuneration Philosophy
The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its directors and executives. To prosper, the Company
must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives.
To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:
• provide competitive rewards to attract and retain high calibre executives;
•
•
link executive rewards to shareholder value and company profits;
structure a significant portion of executive remuneration 'at risk', dependent upon meeting pre-
determined performance hurdles; and
• establish appropriate and demanding performance hurdles in relation to 'at risk' executive remuneration.
(c) Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for determining and reviewing
compensation arrangements for the Managing Director and the senior executive team.
The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of executives
on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions, with the overall objective of ensuring
maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality, high performing and committed senior executive
team.
(d) Remuneration Structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the remuneration structure of the non-executive directors,
and senior management, is separate and distinct.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 33
Directors' report
30 June 2020
(e) Use of Remuneration Consultants
Where appropriate, the Remuneration Committee and the Board seek advice from independent remuneration
consultants to ensure the remuneration paid to the non-executive directors and senior management is appropriate
and in line with the market. As defined under the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and
Executive Remuneration), the Remuneration Committee received remuneration advice from BDO Remuneration and
Reward Services Pty Ltd (“BDO”) in the first two months of the 2020/21 financial year, on aspects of the design of
Long Term Incentive (LTI) scheme for the Group’s KMP. For this remuneration advice, BDO was paid a fee of $5,650
(ex GST). Following the receipt of the remuneration advice from BDO and the ensuing discussions between BDO
and the Remuneration Committee, as recommended by BDO and adopted for good corporate governance, the final
design and approval of the LTI scheme was made solely by the Company’s Non-Executive Directors, thereby ensuring
there was no undue input or influence by any member of the KMP.
(f) Non-Executive Director Remuneration
(i) Fixed Remuneration
Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and
retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.
Structure
The Company's Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive
directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting of shareholders. An amount not exceeding the
amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is
apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers fees paid to non-executive directors of
comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Each director receives a fee for being a director
of the Company. This fee is inclusive for each Board committee on which a director is a member.
Since the date of last review of non-executive director fees on 1 September 2019, subject to the comments below,
the Non-Executive Chair’s annual remuneration was $140,000 per annum and other non-executive director’s annual
remuneration was $90,000 per annum. In addition, each Chair of a Board Sub-Committee is paid an annual fee of
$10,000.
Effective 1 May 2020 as a result of the suspension of operations at the Savannah Nickel Mine non-executive director
fees were reduced by 25%. On 1 August 2020, with the commencement of capital development activities at the
Savannah Nickel Mine, non-executive director fees were returned to pre-suspension levels.
The fees paid to non-executive directors for the period ending 30 June 2020 are detailed in Table 1 on pages 38 and
32 of this report. Fees for the non-executive directors were determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit of
$600,000, which was last approved by shareholders on 20 November 2007.
(ii) Variable Remuneration
The Company does not reward non-executive directors with variable (or ‘at risk’) remuneration. Any shares in the
Company that are held by non-executive directors at the date of this report are separately purchased and held by
each director and have not been issued by the Company as part of the director’s remuneration package
(g) Executive Remuneration
Objective

responsibilities within the Company so as to:
reward executives for Company and individual performance against pre-determined targets;

Structure
In determining the level and composition of executive remuneration, the Remuneration Committee takes into
consideration the operational and economic circumstances the Company is facing and likely to face in the medium
term together with the current market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles.
It is the Remuneration Committee’s policy that employment contracts are entered into with the Managing Director and
other KMP. Details of these KMP contracts are provided on pages 37 to 38.
Remuneration consists of the following key elements:
• Fixed Remuneration (base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits); and
• Variable Remuneration - Short Term Incentive (“STI”) and Long Term Incentive (“LTI”).
The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration (‘at risk’ short term and long term incentives), is
established for each senior executive by the Remuneration Committee. Table 1 on page 38 and 39 details the variable
component (%) of the Group’s KMP.
(i) Fixed Remuneration
Objective
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the
position and is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed by the Remuneration Committee on a
regular basis and the process consists of a review of Company-wide, business unit and individual performance, the
Company’s operational and economic circumstances, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal
and, when appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. As noted above, the Remuneration Committee has
access to external advice, independent of management.
Structure
Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash
and benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue
cost for the Company.
Effective 1 May 2020 as a result of the suspension of operations at the Savanna Nickel Mine KMP and other senior
management salaries were reduced by 20%. On 1 August 2020, with the commencement of capital development
activities at the Savannah Nickel Mine, KMP and senior management salaries were returned to pre-suspension levels.
The fixed remuneration component of the Group’s KMP is detailed in Table 1 on page 38 and 39.
(ii) Variable Remuneration - Short-term Incentive (STI)
The objective of the STI scheme is to encourage and provide an incentive to executives and senior managers to
achieve, on a consistent basis, a number of annually set, pre-determined weighted Company and Individual Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs). In the STI scheme, each participant is entitled to receive a cash bonus calculated on
a certain percentage, depending on the participant’s level of seniority, of their Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR)
provided one or more of the KPIs is achieved.
The STI outcome is generally determined after completion of the end of the performance period (a financial year).
No STI was paid or awarded in the 2019/20 financial year or the 2018/19 financial year.
The Board retains discretion to, by written notice to a participant, to resolve to waive or amend any vesting or
performance criteria applying to the scheme, or to make discretionary payments outside of the scheme in limited
circumstances where it is considered warranted. A discretionary payment, not linked to the performance of the
Company, was approved for the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer as a result of their tireless and
extraordinary personal and professional contributions during the period in the recapitalisation of the Company. This
will be paid in the 2020/21 financial year.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 35
Directors' report
30 June 2020
(iii) Variable Remuneration - Long Term Incentive (LTI)
The objective of a LTI program is to reward and incentivise executives in a manner which aligns this element of
remuneration with the creation of long term sustainable shareholder value and to provide greater incentive to the
participant focus on the Company’s longer term goals.
The Company’s LTI Plan was revised by the Remuneration Committee with the assistance of remuneration
consultants BDO and named the “Incentive Options & Performance Rights Plan” (“2018 ES Plan”). The 2018 ES Plan
was subsequently approved for a three-year period by the Company’s shareholders at the 2018 Annual General
Meeting on 21 November 2018.
Under the 2018 ES Plan, eligible participants are able to be granted Options and/or Performance Rights (collectively
defined as “Awards”). Notwithstanding that the new 2018 ES Plan includes the offer and granting of Options, in its
discretion, the Remuneration Committee has determined that the grant of performance rights is the preferred LTI
reward vehicle.
A performance right is a right to be issued or transferred an ordinary share at a future point, subject to the satisfaction
of pre-determined vesting Conditions. No exercise price is payable and eligibility to a grant of performance rights
under the 2018 ES Plan is at the Board’s discretion. If approved by the Board, a participant under the 2018 ES Plan
may be paid, as an alternative, a cash amount equal to the market value of a share as at the date the performance
right is exercised instead of being issued or transferred a Share.
The LTI dollar value that each KMP and senior managers will be entitled to receive in performance rights (or options
if applicable) is set at a fixed percentage of their annual TFR (base salary plus statutory superannuation and benefits)
and varies according to the participant’s level of seniority and ability to influence performance. The number of
performance rights to shares to be granted is determined by dividing the LTI dollar value by the volume weighted
average price of the Company’s shares over the last 20 trading days of the month of June preceding the start of the
vesting period.
Grants of performance rights made under the 2018 ES Plan are subject to the satisfaction of a time-based service
criteria and pre-determined vesting criteria over a three-year vesting period. These vesting conditions are established
in advance of grant by the Remuneration Committee. Performance and service criteria may be varied from year to
year by the Remuneration Committee as appropriate to ensure that the criteria align with the Company’s strategies.
The Board retains the discretion (except to the extent otherwise provided by an offer to apply for awards), by written
notice to a Participant, to resolve to waive or amend any vesting criteria applying to an award in whole or in part.
In accordance with the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, grants of awards (performance rights or options if
applicable) under the 2018 ES Plan to the Company’s Managing Director will be subject to approval by the Company’s
shareholders. Approval by shareholders would also be necessary for any grant of Awards under the 2018 ES Plan to
the non-executive directors. There are no such grants proposed.
There were no Awards granted to the named executives and senior managers under the 2018 ES Plan during the
2019/20 financial year or the 2018/19 financial year. There have been no Awards to the named executives and senior
managers under the 2018 ES Plan since the end of the financial period and the date of signing the 2020 Directors’
report
No Hedging Contracts on LTI Grants
The Company does not permit executives or senior managers to enter into contracts to hedge their exposure to
options or performance rights to shares granted as part of their remuneration package. This policy is strictly enforced
by the Managing Director under the Company’s Share Trading Policy detailed in the Corporate Governance
Statement.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Panoramic Resources
Limited
Report on the audit of the financial report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Panoramic Resources Limited (the Company) and its
subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June
2020, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income,
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year
then ended, 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:
a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2020
and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
b) 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 Company 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1(b) in the financial report. These events or conditions indicate that a
material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of
this matter.

Audit opinion
30 June 2020
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty
Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report. For each matter below, our description of how our audit
addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the
procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the
accompanying financial report.
1. Carrying value of non-current assets
Why significant
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
The carrying value of the Group’s property, plant and
equipment and mine property assets at 30 June 2020
amounts to $150,408,000.
The Group assessed whether there was any indication
of impairment and it was determined that indicators of
impairment were present in respect of the Savannah
Nickel Mine. Accordingly, the Group performed an
impairment test as at 30 June 2020 and based on this
assessment, management concluded an impairment
adjustment of $32,948,000 was required at 30 June
2020 (refer to Note 10).
We considered this to be a key audit matter because
of the:
►
►
►
►
►
Significance of the carrying value of property,
plant and equipment and mine property assets in
comparison to total assets at 30 June 2020
Significant judgment required in determining
whether there was any indication of impairment
►
Significant judgment and estimates involved in
the determination of the recoverable amount of
the Savannah Nickel Mine including assumptions
relating to future nickel prices, foreign currency
exchange rates, operating and capital costs,
future production volumes and an appropriate
discount rate to reflect the risk associated with
the forecast cash flows having regard to the
current status of the project.
We assessed the reasonableness of the Group’s
impairment assessment process and the resultant
recoverable value determination for the Savannah
Nickel Mine. Our audit procedures included the
following:
Evaluated the Group’s assessment as to the
presence of indicators of impairment
Evaluated the assumptions and methodologies
used by the Group, in particular, those relating
to forecast cash flows and inputs used to
formulate them. This included assessing, with
involvement from our valuation specialists,
where appropriate, the foreign currency
exchange rates, commodity prices with
reference to broker consensus forward
estimates
Evaluated the work of the Group’s internal and
external experts with respect to the capital and
operating expenditure assumptions including
whether these expenditure assumptions were
consistent with historical performance,
information in Board reports and releases to the
market

2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 47
Audit opinion
30 June 2020
Why significant
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
►
Assessed the work of the Group’s experts with
respect to the reserve assumptions used in the
cash flow forecasts. This included understanding
the reserve estimation process. We also
examined the competence, qualifications and
objectivity of the Group’s experts, and assessed
whether key reserve economic assumptions
were consistent with those used elsewhere in
the financial report
► With involvement from our valuation specialists,
we tested the mathematical accuracy of the
Group’s discounted cash flow impairment model
►
►
Assessed the impact of a range of sensitivities to
the economic assumptions and discount rates
underpinning the Group’s impairment
assessment
Evaluated the adequacy of the Group's
disclosures relating to impairment.
2. Rehabilitation provision
Why significant
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
As a consequence of its operations, the Group
incurs obligations to rehabilitate and restore its
mine sites. Rehabilitation activities are governed
legislative requirements. As at 30 June 2020 the
Group’s consolidated balance sheet includes
provisions of $24,498,000 in respect of these
obligations (refer to note 22).
We considered this to be a key audit matter
because of the significant judgment and estimates
associated with estimating the rehabilitation
provision including timing of when the
rehabilitation activities will take place, the extent
of the rehabilitation and restoration activities and
economic assumptions such as inflation rates and
discount rates.
►
►
We evaluated the assumptions and methodologies used
by the Group in arriving at their rehabilitation cost
estimates. Our audit procedures included the following:
► We assessed the objectivity, qualifications and
competence of the Group's external experts whose
work formed the basis of the Group's cost
estimates
Assessed the reasonableness of the timing of the
rehabilitation cashflows and the inflation and
discount rate assumptions used in the Group's cost
estimates, having regard to available economic
data on future inflation and risk-free rates
Evaluated the adequacy of the Group's disclosures
relating to rehabilitation obligations and considered
the treatment applied to changes in the
rehabilitation and restoration provision.
Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report other than the financial report and our
auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report that is to be included in the Annual Report,
prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual
Report after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon with the exception of the Remuneration Report and
our related assurance opinion.

PAGE 48 | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Audit opinion
30 June 2020
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 on the other information obtained prior to the date of this
auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating 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 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 this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the 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 an 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 Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.

2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 49
Audit opinion
30 June 2020
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 Group’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 Group 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.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
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, actions
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated to the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the 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 the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the audit of 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 Panoramic Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
1 Summary of significant accounting policies
The consolidated financial report of Panoramic Resources Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) for the year
ended 30 June 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 31 August 2020.
Panoramic Resources Limited (the Parent or the Company) is a for profit Company limited by shares incorporated and
domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. The Group's registered office
is Level 9, 553 Hay Street, Perth WA 6000.
The principal activities of the Group during the course of the financial year consisted of the exploration, evaluation,
development and production of mineral deposits.
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report has also been prepared on a
historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, trade receivables and financial assets, which have been
measured at fair value. The financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by
International Accounting Standards Board.
(b) Going concern basis
The Group had cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $69.425 million for the year ended 30 June 2020
(2019: $71.493 million). At 30 June 2020, the Group had cash on hand of $31.164 million (2019: $12.733 million).
On 15 April 2020, operations at the Savannah Nickel Project were suspended resulting in the halting of production from
the operation and the generation of operating cash inflows. The suspension of operations is intended to be temporary,
however at the time of this report there is no firm date for the restart of operations. If the suspension continues for an
extended period, there is a risk that the Company will be required to raise additional capital to fund the care and
maintenance activities. It is also likely that the Company will require additional capital to fund the restart of operations at
the Savannah Nickel Project.
The Directors are satisfied there is a reasonable basis that the Group will be able to raise additional funds as required and
thus it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. In the event that the Company is unable
to obtain sufficient funding for ongoing operating and capital requirements, there is material uncertainty whether it will
continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course
of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.
The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset
amounts or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company not be able to continue
as a going concern.
(c) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
Since 1 July 2019, the Group has adopted all Accounting Standards and Interpretations effective from 1 July 2019. Other
than the changes described below, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
\ (d) New accounting standards and interpretations
The Group applied all new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that were effective as at 1 July 2019.
The Group applied AASB 16 Leases and AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatment for the first time
from 1 July 2019. The nature and effect of these changes as a result of the adoption of these new Accounting Standards
are described below.
Several other new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations applied for the first time from 1 July 2019 but
did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Entity and, hence, have not been
disclosed.
The Group had to change its accounting policies as a result of adopting AASB 16 Leases.
AASB 16 Leases
This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 on the Group’s annual financial report and discloses the new
accounting policies that have been applied from 1 July 2019.
AASB 16 supersedes AASB 117 Leases (AASB 117), Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a
Lease, Interpretation 115 Operating Leases-Incentives and Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions
Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation
and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for most leases under a single on-balance sheet model.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 59
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
The Group adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1
July 2019. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under AASB 117. The Group
elected to record the right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability. Prior to the date of application of AASB
16, the Group applied AASB 117 and recognised its finance leases in the consolidated balance sheet. Operating leases
were not recognised in the consolidated balance sheet and the lease payments were recognised as rent expense in the
consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Group also applied the following practical expedients on date of transition:
• applied the short term exemption to leases with a lease term that ends within 12 months of 1 July 2019;
• the use of hindsight in determining the lease term; and
• excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset.
The Group has elected to present the right-of-use assets separately and lease liabilities as part of borrowings in the
consolidated balance sheet.
The impact on the consolidated balance sheet as at 1 July 2019 on adoption of AASB 16 is set out in the table below:

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
(i) Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is
available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses,
and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease
liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any
lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the
lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated
useful life and the lease term (where the entity does not have a purchase option at the end of the lease term). Right-of-use
assets are subject to impairment.
(ii) Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed
payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase
option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term
reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a
rate are recognised as an expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the
amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In
addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a
change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
(iii) Short term leases and leases of low value assets
The Group applies the short term lease recognition exemption to its short term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e.
those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase
option). It also applies the lease of low value assets recognition exemption. Lease payments on short term leases and
leases of low value assets are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(iv) Significant judgment in determining the lease term of contracts with renewal options
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an
option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the
lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. That is, it
considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal. After the commencement
date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control
and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew (e.g. a change in business strategy).
The Group included the renewal period as part of the lease term for leases of plant and machinery due to the significance
of these assets to its operations.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 61
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
(v) Significant judgment in determining the incremental borrowing rate
In measuring the present value of the lease liability, the standard requires that the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate if
the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Panoramic uses a consistent approach reflecting the Group’s
borrowing rate and the duration of the lease term, which requires the use of judgment.
Accounting policy applied pre 1 July 2019 - Group as Lessee
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased
item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of
the minimum lease payments.
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a
constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.
Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment
The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the
application of AASB 112 Income Taxes. It does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of AASB 112, nor does it
specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The
Interpretation specifically addresses the following:
• whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately;
• the assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities;
• how an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates; and
• how an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.
An entity has to determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other
uncertain tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty needs to be followed.
The interpretation did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
(e) New and amended accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
The Group has not early adopted any other accounting standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is
not yet effective. There is no material impact of any new and amended accounting standards issued but not yet effective.
(f) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, and
estimations which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Key judgments
(i) Revenue
For the Group’s Cost, Insurance and Freight ("CIF") customers, the Group is responsible for providing freight/shipping
services. Whilst the Group does not actually provide nor operate the vessels, the Group has determined that it is the
principal in these arrangements because it has concluded it controls the specified services before they are provided to the
customer. The terms of the Group’s contract with the service provider give the Group the ability to direct the service provider
to provide the specified services on the Group’s behalf.
The Group has also concluded that revenue for freight/shipping services is to be recognised over time because the
customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group. The fact that another entity would
not need to re-perform the freight/shipping services that the Group has provided to date demonstrates that the customer
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Group’s performance as it performs. The Group determined that
the output method is the best method for measuring progress of the freight/shipping services because there is a direct
relationship between the Group’s effort and the transfer of services to the customer. The Group recognises revenue on the
basis of the time elapsed relative to the total expected time to complete the service.
PAGE 62 | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
(ii) Determining the beginning of production
Judgment is required to determine when capitalisation of development costs cease, with amortisation of the associated
mine assets commencing upon the start of commercial production. This is based on the specific circumstances of the
project and takes into consideration when the specific asset is substantially complete and becomes ‘available for use’ as
intended by management. This includes consideration of the following factors:
• completion of reasonable testing of the mine plant and equipment;
• mineral recoveries, availability and throughput levels at or near expected levels;
• the ability to produce nickel concentrate in saleable quantity and form; and
• the achievement of continuous production.
With respect to the Savannah plant, mining and concentrate production were progressively ramped up and the plant moved
into the production phase at the beginning of April 2019. On 15 April 2020 operations at the Savannah Nickel Mine were
suspended resulting in the halting of production. The Savannah North access decline reached the target level for first level
access on 18 November 2019, and the 1381 crosscut intersected the Savannah North orebody. As a result, this mine
infrastructure moved into the production phase at that time. On 15 April 2020 operations at the Savannah Nickel Mine were
suspended resulting in the halting of production.
(iii) Significant judgment in determining the lease term of contracts with renewal options
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an
option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the
lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. That is, it
considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal. After the commencement
date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control
and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew (e.g. a change in business strategy).
The Group included the renewal period as part of the lease term for leases of plant and machinery due to the significance
of these assets to its operations.
(iv) Significant judgment in determining the incremental borrowing rate
In measuring the present value of the lease liability, the standard requires that the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate if
the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Panoramic uses a consistent approach reflecting the Group’s
borrowing rate and the duration of the lease term, which requires the use of judgment.
(v) Determination of mineral resources and ore reserves
The Group estimates its mineral resources and ore reserves in accordance with the Australian Code for Reporting of
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the ‘JORC Code’) as a minimum standard. The information on
mineral resources and ore reserves were prepared by or under the supervision of a Competent Person(s) as defined in
the JORC Code. The amounts presented are based on the mineral resources and ore reserves determined under the 2012
edition of the JORC Code.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and ore reserves and assumptions that are
valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. Significant judgment is
required in assessing the available reserves. Factors that must be considered in determining reserves and resources are
the Company's history of converting resources to reserves and the relevant time frame, market conditions and likely future
developments.
Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, foreign currency exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may
change the economic status of reserves and may ultimately result in the reserves being restated. Such changes in reserves
could impact on depreciation and amortisation rates, asset carrying values and provisions for decommissioning and
restoration.
(vi) Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
The Group assesses impairment of all exploration and evaluation assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions
specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset is determined. The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is
dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether
it is likely to be able to successfully recover the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 63
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the level of proved and probable reserves and mineral
resources, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to
environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, this
will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made.
In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a
stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the
extent that it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, this will reduce profits and
net assets in the period in which this determination is made.
Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure that suffered an impairment are tested for possible reversal of the
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed.
(vii) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, capitalised mine development expenditure and mine properties
expenditure
The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to
the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If indications of impairment exist, the recoverable amount of the asset is
determined. Where a review for impairment is conducted, the recoverable amount is assessed by reference to the higher
of ‘value in use’ (being the net present value of expected future cash flows of the relevant cash-generating unit ("CGU")
and ‘fair value less costs to dispose ("FVLCD").
In determining value in use, future cash flows are based on:
• estimates of the quantities of ore reserves and mineral resources for which there is a sufficient degree of confidence of
economic extraction;
• estimates of future production levels based on current operating capacity;
• spot commodity prices at balance date;
• estimates of future cash costs of production and capital expenditure; and
• estimated of the impact of COVID-19 on the expected timing of restart of operations and on costs.
Variations to the expected future cash flows, and the timing thereof, could result in significant changes to any impairment
losses recognised, if any, which could in turn impact future financial results.
Property, plant and equipment that suffered an impairment is tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed. Refer to note 13 for further
information.
(viii) Provision for decommissioning and rehabilitation
Decommissioning and restoration costs are a normal consequence of mining, and the majority of this expenditure is
incurred at the end of a mine’s life. In determining an appropriate level of provision, consideration is given to the expected
future costs to be incurred, the timing of these expected future costs (largely dependent on the life of the mine), and the
estimated future level of inflation.
The ultimate cost of decommissioning and restoration is uncertain and costs can vary in response to many factors including
changes to the relevant legal requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques, discount rates and cost inflation
applied, the timing that activities are expected to be undertaken and experience at other mine sites. The expected timing
of expenditure can also change, for example in response to changes in mineral inventory or to production rates. To the
extent cost of decommissioning and restoration increase or decrease by 10%, there would be a +/- $2.5 million impact on
the provision.
The carrying amount of the provision for decommissioning and rehabilitation as at 30 June 2020 was $24.498 million (2019:
$31.534 million). The Group estimates that the costs will be incurred towards the end of the respective mine lives and
calculates the provision using the discounted cash flow method based on expected costs to be incurred to rehabilitate the
disturbed area. These costs have been discounted at the Government bond rate for a comparable period which is 1.06%
(2019: 1.18%).
Changes to any of the estimates could result in significant changes to the level of provisioning required, which would in
turn impact future financial results.
PAGE 64 | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the level of proved and probable reserves and mineral
resources, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to
environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, this
will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made.
In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a
stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the
extent that it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, this will reduce profits and
net assets in the period in which this determination is made.
Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure that suffered an impairment are tested for possible reversal of the
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed.
(vii) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, capitalised mine development expenditure and mine properties
expenditure
The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to
the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If indications of impairment exist, the recoverable amount of the asset is
determined. Where a review for impairment is conducted, the recoverable amount is assessed by reference to the higher
of ‘value in use’ (being the net present value of expected future cash flows of the relevant cash-generating unit ("CGU")
• estimates of the quantities of ore reserves and mineral resources for which there is a sufficient degree of confidence of
and ‘fair value less costs to dispose ("FVLCD").
In determining value in use, future cash flows are based on:
economic extraction;
• estimates of future production levels based on current operating capacity;
• spot commodity prices at balance date;
• estimates of future cash costs of production and capital expenditure; and
• estimated of the impact of COVID-19 on the expected timing of restart of operations and on costs.
Variations to the expected future cash flows, and the timing thereof, could result in significant changes to any impairment
losses recognised, if any, which could in turn impact future financial results.
Property, plant and equipment that suffered an impairment is tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed. Refer to note 13 for further
information.
(viii) Provision for decommissioning and rehabilitation
Decommissioning and restoration costs are a normal consequence of mining, and the majority of this expenditure is
incurred at the end of a mine’s life. In determining an appropriate level of provision, consideration is given to the expected
future costs to be incurred, the timing of these expected future costs (largely dependent on the life of the mine), and the
estimated future level of inflation.
The ultimate cost of decommissioning and restoration is uncertain and costs can vary in response to many factors including
changes to the relevant legal requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques, discount rates and cost inflation
applied, the timing that activities are expected to be undertaken and experience at other mine sites. The expected timing
of expenditure can also change, for example in response to changes in mineral inventory or to production rates. To the
extent cost of decommissioning and restoration increase or decrease by 10%, there would be a +/- $2.5 million impact on
the provision.
(2019: 1.18%).
The carrying amount of the provision for decommissioning and rehabilitation as at 30 June 2020 was $24.498 million (2019:
$31.534 million). The Group estimates that the costs will be incurred towards the end of the respective mine lives and
calculates the provision using the discounted cash flow method based on expected costs to be incurred to rehabilitate the
disturbed area. These costs have been discounted at the Government bond rate for a comparable period which is 1.06%
Changes to any of the estimates could result in significant changes to the level of provisioning required, which would in
turn impact future financial results.
(g) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 30 June
2020. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the
investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an
investee if and only if the Group has:
• power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
• exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
• the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant
facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
• the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
• rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
• the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes
to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over
the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a
subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date
the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the
Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When
necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with
the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to
transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
• de-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
• de-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;
• de-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
• recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
• recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
• recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and
• reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or
retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
(h) Revenue
(i) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group is engaged in the business of producing nickel concentrate. Revenue from contracts with customers is
recognised when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group has concluded that it is the
principal in its revenue contracts because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the
customer.
For metal in concentrate sales under CIF international commercial terms, the performance obligations are the delivery of
the concentrate and the provision of shipping services. Based on the current contractual terms, revenue from the sale of
nickel concentrate is recognised when control passes to the customer, which occurs at a point in time when the nickel
concentrate is physically transferred onto a vessel.
The Group’s sales of nickel concentrate allow for price adjustments based on the market price at the end of the relevant
Quotational Period (“QP”) stipulated in the contract. These are referred to as provisional pricing arrangements and are
such that the selling price for nickel concentrate is based on prevailing spot prices on a specified future date after shipment
to the customer. Adjustments to the sales price occur based on movements in quoted market prices up to the end of the
QP. The period between provisional invoicing and the end of the QP can be up to two months.
Revenue from the sale of nickel concentrate is measured at the amount to which the Group expects to be entitled being
the forward price at the date the revenue is recognised, net of treatment and refining charges, and a corresponding trade
receivable is recognised.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 65
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
For the provisional pricing arrangements, any future changes that occur over the QP are embedded within the provisionally
priced trade receivable. Given the exposure to the commodity price, these provisionally priced trade receivables fail the
cash flow characteristics test and are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss from initial recognition
and until the date of settlement. Subsequent changes in fair value of the receivable are recognised in the profit or loss
each period and presented separately from revenue from contracts with customers as part of ‘fair value gains/losses on
provisionally priced trade receivables. Changes in fair value over, and until the end of, the QP, are estimated by reference
to updated forward market prices for nickel as well as taking into account relevant other fair value considerations, including
interest rate and credit risk adjustments.
Revenue is initially recognised based on the most recently determined estimate of nickel concentrate using the expected
value approach based on initial internal assay and weight results. The Group has determined that it is highly unlikely that
a significant reversal of the amount of revenue recognised will occur due to variations in assay and weight results.
Subsequent changes in the fair value based on the customer’s final assay and weight results are recognised in revenue at
the end of the QP.
For CIF arrangements, the transaction price (as determined above) is allocated to the nickel concentrate and shipping
services using the relative stand alone selling price method. The consideration is received from the customer at, or around,
the date of shipment under a provisional invoice. Therefore, some of the upfront consideration that relates to the shipping
services yet to be provided is deferred. This is generally not material at the balance sheet date. Shipping revenue is
recognised over time using an output method (being days of shipping/transportation elapsed) to measure progress towards
complete satisfaction of the service as this best represents the Group’s performance. This is on the basis that the customer
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group as the services are being provided. The costs
associated with these freight/shipping services are also recognised over the same period of time as incurred.
(ii) Interest income and dividends
Interest income
Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised
cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which
is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net
carrying amount of the financial asset.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established.
(i) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, amortisation of ancillary
costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings, and finance charges in respect of finance leases.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, which is generally taken to be more
than twelve months. In these circumstances, borrowing costs are capitalised to the costs of the assets. Where funds are
borrowed specifically for the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs
capitalised is those incurred in relation to that borrowing, net of any interest earned on those borrowings. Where funds are
borrowed generally, borrowing costs are capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation rate to the extent that they
relate to the qualifying asset. The weighted average capitalisation rate applied during the year was 9.34% (2019: 6.81%).
Exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward relating to areas of interest which have not reached a stage
permitting reliable assessment of economic benefits are not qualifying assets.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash on hand and in banks and short term deposits are stated at nominal value.
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and at banks and on short term deposits
with an original maturity not exceeding three months and, if greater than three months, principal amounts can be redeemed
in full with interest payable at the same cash rate from inception as per the agreement with each bank, net of bank
overdrafts.
(k) Inventories
(i) Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined based on the weighted average cost) and net realisable value.
Costs incurred in bringing inventory to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
• ore stocks - cost of direct mining and a proportion of site overheads; and
• concentrates and work in progress - cost of direct mining, processing, transport and labour and a proportion of site
overheads.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
PAGE 66 | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
(ii) Spares for production
Inventories of consumable supplies and spare parts expected to be used in production are valued at the weighted average
cost. Obsolete or damaged inventories of such items are valued at net realisable value.
(l) Derivative financial instruments and hedging
The Group uses derivatives such as United States Dollar nickel and copper forward sales contracts, United States Dollar
nickel options, United States denominated currency options and United States denominated forward currency sales
contracts to manage its risks associated with foreign currencies and commodity price fluctuations. These derivative
financial instruments are stated at fair value.
Derivatives are not held for speculative purposes.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently
remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately
unless the derivative is designated and effective as a cash flow hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the
recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
A hedge of the foreign currency risk and commodity price risk of a firm commitment is accounted for as a cash flow hedge.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the
Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The
documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being
hedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the
hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in
achieving offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they
actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.
The hedges that meet the strict criteria for cash flow hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
Cash flow hedges
Cash flow hedges are hedges of the Group’s exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk
associated with a highly probable forecast transaction and that could affect profit and loss. The effective portion of changes
in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are deferred in equity. The gain or loss
relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.
Amounts deferred in equity are recycled in the income statement in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in the
income statement.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer
qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss deferred in equity remains in equity and is
recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is
no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in equity is recognised immediately in the income
statement.
The Group tests each of the designated cash flow hedges for effectiveness at the inception of the hedge and then again
at each reporting date, both prospectively and retrospectively, using the dollar offset method. This is done by comparing
the changes in present value of the cash flows arising from the hedged forecast sales at the forward rates, compared to
changes in the fair values of those forward contracts. Measurement of the cash flow changes is based on the respective
forward curves over the hedge horizon.
At each balance sheet date, the Group measures ineffectiveness using the ratio offset method. For cash flow hedges if the
risk is over-hedged, the ineffective portion is taken immediately to income/expense in the income statement.
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments
that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the income statement.
(m) Foreign currency translation
Both the functional and presentation currency of the Company and its Australian subsidiaries is Australian dollars.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group’s entities at their respective functional currency spot
rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 67
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of
exchange at the reporting date.
Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss with the exception of
monetary items that are designated as part of the hedge of the Group’s net investment of a foreign operation. These are
recognised in other comprehensive income until the net investment is disposed of, at which time, the cumulative amount
is reclassified to profit or loss. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are
also recorded in other comprehensive income.
Group companies
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars at the rate of exchange
prevailing at the reporting date and their income statements are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal
of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is
recognised in profit or loss.
(n) Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered
from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted
or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided for using the full liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:
• except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that
is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or
loss; and
• in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in
joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that
the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets
and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:
• except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
• in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in
joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will
reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to
be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets and liabilities are reassessed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted
at the balance sheet date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.
(i) Tax consolidation legislation
The Company and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.
The head entity, Panoramic Resources Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their
own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group
continues to be a stand alone taxpayer in its own right.
PAGE 68 | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets)
and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the
tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts
receivable from or payable to other entities in the Company.
Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are
recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly owned tax consolidated entities.
(o) Other taxes
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services taxation ("GST") except:
• where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which
case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables
in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising
from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as
operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation
authority.
(p) Property, plant and equipment
Items of plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. The cost of
plant and equipment constructed for and by the consolidated entity, where applicable, includes the cost of materials and
direct labour. The proportion of overheads and other incidental costs directly attributable to its construction are also
capitalised to the cost of plant and equipment.
Costs incurred on plant and equipment subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalised when it is probable that future
economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed performance of the asset will flow to the consolidated entity in
future years. Where these costs represent separate components of a complex asset, they are accounted for as separate
assets and are separately depreciated over their useful lives. Costs incurred on plant and equipment that do not meet the
criteria for capitalisation are expensed as incurred.
(i) Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation and amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis or units of production over the estimated useful lives of
the asset. The estimated useful lives used for each class of asset are as follows:
Office equipment
3 - 4 years
Office furniture and fittings
5 years
Plant and equipment under lease
Lesser of the lease term and useful life (which range between 3 - 8 years)
Process plant and buildings
(ii) Impairment
Lesser of life of mine and life of asset
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying value may not be recoverable.
If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-
generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 69
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to dispose and value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
Property, plant and equipment that suffered an impairment are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed.
(iii) Derecognition and disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
(q) Exploration, evaluation, development, mine properties and rehabilitation expenditure
(i) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Expenditure on exploration and evaluation is accounted for in accordance with the ‘area of interest’ method.
Acquisition costs are carried forward at cost where rights to tenure of the area of interest is current and it is expected that
expenditure will be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively by its
sale and/or; exploration and evaluation activities are continuing in an area of interest but at reporting date have not yet
reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable
reserves.
Exploration and Evaluation expenditure subsequent to acquisition on an area of Interest which has not reached a stage
which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves is capitalised
as incurred
When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource have been demonstrated and a
decision to develop has been made, any capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is reclassified as capitalised
mine development. Prior to reclassification, capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment.
Impairment
The carrying value of capitalised exploration expenditure is assessed for impairment at the cash-generating unit level
whenever circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount.
(ii) Mine development expenditure
Mine development expenditure represents the costs incurred in preparing mines for production and includes stripping and
waste removal costs incurred before production commences. These costs are capitalised to the extent they are expected
to be recouped through successful exploitation of the related mining leases. Once production commences, these are
amortised using the units of production method based on the estimated economically recoverable reserves to which they
relate or are written off if the mine property is abandoned.
Impairment
The carrying value of capitalised mine development is assessed for impairment whenever circumstances suggest that the
carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount.
(iii) Mineral properties expenditure
Mineral properties expenditure represents the costs incurred in the acquisition of a mining lease, and represents the excess
of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired mining lease at the date of
acquisition. These costs are capitalised to the extent they are expected to be recouped through successful exploitation of
the related mining leases. Once production commences, these costs are amortised using the units of production method
based on the estimated economically recoverable reserves to which they relate or are written off if the mine property is
abandoned.
Impairment
The carrying value of capitalised mine properties expenditure is assessed for impairment whenever circumstances suggest
that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount.
PAGE 70 | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
(iv) Provision for decommissioning and rehabilitation
The Group is required to decommission and rehabilitate mines and processing sites at the end of their producing lives to
a condition acceptable to the relevant authorities.
The expected costs of any approved decommissioning or rehabilitation programs, discounted to their net present values,
are provided for in the period in which the associated obligations arise. The costs are capitalised when they relate to the
development of an asset, whether the rehabilitation activity is expected to occur over the life of the operation or at the time
of closure. Over time, the liability is increased for changes in net present values based on risk adjusted pre-tax discount
rates appropriate to the risks inherent in the liabilities. The unwinding of the discounts are included in financing costs.
Expected decommissioning and rehabilitation costs are based on the discounted values of the estimated future costs of
detailed plans prepared for each site. Where there are changes in the expected decommissioning and rehabilitation costs,
the values of the provisions and any related assets are adjusted and the effect is recognised in the income statement on
a prospective basis over the remaining life of the operations.
(r) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s
recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and
is determined on an individual asset basis, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent
of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value.
In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying
amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered
impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
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. Impairment
losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the
impaired asset unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a
revaluation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised
impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is
estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to
determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying
amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount
that would be determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such
reversal is recognised in profit and loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated
as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s
revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. Non-financial assets
that suffered an impairment are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed.
(s) 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.
(t) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium
on settlement.
Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised and through the
amortisation process.
(u) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the economic entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) to make a future
sacrifice of economic benefits to other entities as a result of past transactions or other past events, it is probable that a
future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense
relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 71
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
The effect of the time value of money is material and 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, where appropriate, the
risks specific to the liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.
(v) Employee benefits
(i) Short term benefits
Liabilities for short term benefits expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in
other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to
be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value
of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the
projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee
departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date of
corporate bond rates with terms of maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash
outflows.
(iii) Share based payments
Equity-settled transactions
The Group provides benefits to employees (including executive directors) of the Group in the form of share based payment
transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for rights over shares ("equity-settled transactions").
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which
they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model or binomial model.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to
the price of shares of Panoramic Resources Limited if applicable.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with the corresponding increase in reserve, over the period
in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled
to the award ("vesting date").
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the
extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the
Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. 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 income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in
cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. There is a corresponding entry to equity.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a
market condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are subsequently 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.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per
share.
(iv) Bonus plans
When applicable, the Company recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses based on a formula that takes into
consideration the performance and service criteria, where relevant, and the likelihood that the criteria will be met. The
Company recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a
constructive obligation.

(w) Contributed equity
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of new shares for the acquisition of a business are deducted from equity and not expensed
as an acquisition related cost.
(x) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion
of the entity, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date.
(y) Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business
combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the
assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity
issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the
acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the
acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification
and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting
policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in
host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity
interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.
Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be
recognised in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. If
the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured.
(z) Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached
conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic
basis over the period that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates
to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
(aa) Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive
income, or fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition that are debt instruments depends on the financial asset’s
contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade
receivables, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair
value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables are measured at the transaction price determined under
the Group’s accounting policy for revenue from contracts with customers (see note 1(h)).
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive
income, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are "solely payments of principal and interest" ("SPPI") on the principal
amount outstanding. This assessment referred to as the SPPI test is performed at an instrument level.
Subsequent measurement:
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
• financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments);
• financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt
instruments);
• financial assets designated at fair value through other comprehensive income with no recycling of cumulative gains and
losses upon derecognition (equity instruments); or
• financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 73
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
• the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual
cash flows; and
• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (EIR) method and are
subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or
impaired.
The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost include cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits and other
receivables.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, or financial assets mandatorily
required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets with cash flows which do not pass the SPPI test are classified and
measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Debt instruments may be designated at
fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the balance sheet at fair value with net changes in fair
value recognised in profit or loss.
This category also includes trade receivables subject to provisional pricing (QP adjustment), and listed equity investments.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses ("ECLs") for all debt instruments not held at fair value
through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the
contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original EIR.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk
since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next
12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure,
irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For receivables other than those subject to provisional pricing, and due in less than 12 months, the Group does not track
changes in credit risk, but instead, recognises a loss allowance based on the financial asset’s lifetime ECL at each reporting
date. The Group has established a provision matrix for these receivables that is based on its historical credit loss
experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. For any other
financial assets carried at amortised cost (which are due in more than 12 months), the ECL is based on the 12-month ECL
when there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since origination. The 12-month ECL is the proportion of
lifetime ECLs that results from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting
date.
When there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when
estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue
cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical
experience and informed credit assessment including forward-looking information. The Group considers a financial asset
in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a
financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the
outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial
asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows and usually occurs
when past due for more than one year and not subject to enforcement activity.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit impaired. A
financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash
flows of the financial asset have occurred.

2 Segment information
(a) Reporting segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive
management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of
resources.
The Group has identified four operating segments being: (1) Nickel, the Savannah Nickel Project; (2) Gold, the Gum Creek
Gold Project; (3) Platinum Group Metals, the Thunder Bay North PGM Project and Panton PGM Project; and (4)
Exploration.
The discrete financial information for the Australian and Overseas exploration is no longer regularly reviewed by the Chief
Operating Decision Maker on a standalone basis and is now reported as one segment, Exploration. The comparative
information have also been restated to reflect this.
Nickel
The Savannah Nickel Project mines nickel ore and produces nickel concentrate. Operations at the Savannah Nickel Project
were suspended on 15 April 2020.
Gold
The Gum Creek Gold Project (formerly Gidgee Gold) is located 640 kilometres northeast of Perth in Western Australia and
was purchased by the Company in January 2011.
In May 2012, the Company acquired the Wilsons Gold Project from Apex Minerals Limited. The Wilsons Gold Project is
within trucking distance of the existing Gum Creek processing facility which is under care and maintenance. The Wilsons
Gold Project acquisition forms part of the Gum Creek Gold Project.
In October 2016, the Gum Creek Gold Project was sold to the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Horizon Gold Limited.
In December 2016, Horizon Gold Limited was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and raised $15 million in new
capital. The Company retained a 51% controlling equity in Horizon Gold Limited until February 2020 when it commenced
a divestment of its interest and at which time it ceased to control Horizon. The divestment was completed on 29 June 2020.
Platinum Group Metals (PGM)
In July 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Magma Metals Limited by way of an off market takeover bid.
Magma’s principal project, the Thunder Bay North PGM Project, is located in northwest Ontario, Canada. Since acquisition,
the Company undertook evaluation studies to re-optimise the mining method and mineral processing route contained in
the 2011 Scoping Study/Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). In January 2015, Rio Exploration Canada Inc. (RTEC),
having completed its review of all existing data on TBN, exercised a right under the "Earn In with Option to Joint Venture
Agreement (July 2014)" by electing to proceed into the Earn-In option phase. RTEC is able to earn a 70% interest in the
TBN by spending C$20 million over a five year period to January 2020.
In May 2012, the Company executed an agreement with Platinum Australia Limited to purchase the Panton PGM Project.
The Panton Project is located 60km north of Halls Creek, in the East Kimberley Region of Western Australia.
On 27 June 2019, the Company's directors resolved to sell all of the Company's shares in 100% owned Canadian entity,
Panoramic PGMs (Canada) Limited, the owner of the Thunder Bay North PGM Project, to Benton Resources Inc. (Benton)
for a total cash consideration of C$9 million.
A binding Letter Agreement was executed by the Company and Benton on 2 July 2019 to commence a process to complete
the sale over the 2019/20 financial year. The Company and Benton subsequently agreed to terminate the Letter Agreement
with Benton assigning its rights under the Letter Agreement, as amended, to Regency Gold Corp. who subsequently
changed their name to Clean Air Metals Inc.
At 30 June 2019, the Thunder Bay North PGM Project was reclassified to disposal group held for sale and was
subsequently excluded from this segment note. The sale of the Thunder Bay North PGM Project to Clean Air Metals Inc.
was completed on 15 May 2020.

Exploration
The Group's primary greenfield exploration and evaluation activities currently cover the regional areas of Western Australia.
The Group's General Manager Exploration is responsible for budgets and expenditure by the Group's exploration team.
The exploration division does not normally derive any income. Should a project generated by the exploration division
commence generating income or lead to the construction or acquisition of a mining operation, that operation would then
be disaggregated from the exploration and become a separate reportable segment or be added to an existing segment,
as appropriate.
(b) Accounting policies
Segment information is prepared in conformity with the accounting policies of the entity as disclosed in note 1.
Segment revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are those that are directly attributable to a segment and the relevant
portion that can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment
and consist primarily of operating cash, receivables, inventories, derivative financial instruments, property, plant and
equipment and development and mine properties. Segment liabilities consist primarily of trade and other creditors,
employee benefits, derivative financial instruments, finance leases and borrowings and provision for rehabilitation.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
During the financial year, the sale of the Thunder Bay North PGM Project was completed. Refer to note 10 for details. The
Company also divested its investment in Horizon Gold Limited. Refer to note 30 for details.
As part of the recapitalisation undertaken during the year, forbearance agreements were entered into with material creditors
who, as part of the arrangements, agreed to reduce the amounts owed to them. These amounts are reflected as debt
forgiveness in other income. Certain other creditors agreed to provide credit notes against purchases of goods. These
amounts have been reflected as a reduction in the cost of sales or consumables inventory balance as appropriate.
In December 2018, the Lanfranchi Nickel Project (Project) was sold to a wholly owned subsidiary of Texas-based Black
Mountain Metals LLC. A gain on the sale of the Project of $0.782 million has been recognised in the consolidated income
statement for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Short term deposits are made for varying periods typically between one day and three months depending on the immediate
cash requirements of the Group and earn interest at short term rates. If short term deposits have original maturity greater
than three months, principal amounts must be able to be redeemed in full prior to scheduled maturity with no significant
interest penalty otherwise the amounts will be classified as other financial non-current assets. The weighted average
interest rate achieved for the year was 1.01% (2019: 1.69%).
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 79
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
Deposits are held with various financial institutions with short term credit ratings of A-1+ (S&P). As these instruments have
maturities of less than twelve months, the Group has assessed the credit risk on these financial assets using lifetime
expected credit losses. In this regard, the Group has concluded that the probability of default on the deposits is relatively
low. Accordingly, no impairment allowance has been recognised for expected credit losses on the term deposits.
(d) Fair value
The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents equals the fair value.

(a) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 to 90 day terms. Under the current offtake agreement,
on presentation of ship loading documents and the provisional invoice, the customer settles 100% of the provisional sales
invoice value within approximately 7 days and the final sales invoice value is settled in approximately 5 days upon
presentation of the final invoice. Sales are invoiced and received in US dollars (US$).
As at 30 June 2020, 1,687 tonnes of nickel concentrate (2019: 6,797 tonnes) subject to QP pricing was recognised with
reference to an average nickel price of US$5.75 per pound (2019: US$5.38 per pound). The trade receivable at the
reporting date has been remeasured with reference to an average forward nickel price of US$6.40 per pound (2019:
US$6.11 per pound). There is no material copper and cobalt exposure at 30 June 2020 (2019: nil). The amount of fair
value changes recognised in the income statement during the year ended 30 June 2020 was $0.308 million (2019: $0.507
million).
All receivables are current and not past due.
(b) Restricted deposit
At 30 June 2020, with the senior secured facility with Macquarie Bank Limited repaid in full during the financial year, the
Group had nil undrawn funds on restricted deposit (2019: $15.616 million). Under the terms of the financing agreement
with Macquarie Bank Limited, those funds could only be used for expenditure associated with the Savannah Nickel Project
and the drawing of the funds was subject to approval of Macquarie Bank Limited.
The deposits were held with Macquarie Bank Limited with a short term credit rating of A-1+ (S&P). As the deposits were
expected to be utilised within 12 months, the Group has assessed the credit risk on these financial assets using lifetime
expected credit losses. In this regard, the Group has concluded that the probability of default on the deposit is relatively
low. Accordingly, no impairment allowance has been recognised for expected credit losses on the deposit.
(c) Other receivables
Other receivables are non-interest bearing and have repayment terms between 30 and 90 days. There is an insignificant
probability of default as sundry debtors are short term, have no history of default and customers have passed the Group’s
internal credit assessment.
(d) Foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risk
The balance of trade receivables is exposed to movements in AUD:USD exchange rates and commodity prices during the
quotational period.
Information on foreign currency exchange and interest rate risk is provided in note 37.
(e) Fair value and credit risk
Information on fair value and credit risk is provided in note 37.

At 30 June 2020 there were no nickel ore stocks or concentrate stocks on hand with all production prior to the suspension
of operations at the Savannah Nickel Mine sold during the financial year. In the prior year these stocks were carried at net
realisable value.
A provision of $6.619 million was recorded during the financial year to write spares for production down to their estimated
net realisable value as a result of the suspension of operations at the Savannah Nickel Mine. The Company is in the
process of reviewing consumables on hand to that are likely to be surplus to anticipated requirements for a restart of
operations, or that are or may become obsolete or deteriorate during the period of suspension of operations. Such items
will be sold or scrapped as appropriate.
10 Impairment loss/(reversal)
A net impairment loss of $27.063 million was recorded in the current period (2019: impairment reversal of $19.156
million). This amount comprises an impairment of the nickel cash generating unit of $32.948 million (refer to section (a)
below for details; 2019: impairment reversal of $19.156 million) and an impairment reversal relating to the disposal of
the Thunder Bay North PGM Project (refer to section (b) below for details).
(a) Nickel cash generating unit
On 15 April 2020, as a result of the combination of significant operational uncertainty, disruption and cost escalation caused
by COVID-19 restrictions, a slower ramp up then planned and depressed commodity prices the Company elected to
suspend operations at the Savannah Nickel Mine.
The suspension of operations was deemed to be an indicator of impairment, and as such, a formal estimate of the
recoverable amount of the Nickel cash generating unit (CGU) was performed.
In assessing whether an impairment is required, the carrying amount of the CGU is compared with its estimated recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) and value in use
(VIU). Given the nature of the Group’s activities. Consequently, the FVLCD for the CGU was estimated based on
discounted future cash flows (expressed in real terms) expected to generated from the continued use of the CGU using
market based commodity price and exchange assumptions, estimated quantities of recoverable minerals, production
levels, operating costs and capital requirements, and the latest life of mine plans. The cash flows were discounted using a
real post tax discount rate that reflected market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU.
The determination of FVLCD for the CGU is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement as it is derived from
valuation techniques that involve inputs that are not based on observable market date. The Group considers the inputs
and the valuation approach to be consistent with the approach taken by market participants.
The FVLCD valuation was below the carrying amount of the Nickel CGU’s assets of $166.710 million and as such an
impairment loss of $32.948 million was recorded in the current year. The impairment has been allocated against property,
plant and equipment, development properties and mineral properties (refer to notes 13 and 15 for further information.)
(i) Key assumptions
The determination of FVLCD is most sensitive to the following key assumptions:
• production volumes;
• commodity prices and exchange rates;
• capital and operating costs; and
• discount rates.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 81
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
Production Volumes
In calculating FVLCD, production volumes and grades were derived from the latest mineral resource estimate and ore
reserve estimates and represent the estimated recoverable mining inventory incorporated into a detailed mine design and
life of mine plan as part of the long term planning process. The production volume incorporated into the cash flow model
was 10.4 million tonnes ore at an average grade of 1.28 grams per tonne (g/t) nickel, 0.39g/t copper and 0.08g/t cobalt for
an approximate 13 year mine life.
Production volumes are dependent on a number of variables, such as the underlying resource and reserve estimation,
estimates of mining dilution and recoveries, geotechnical assumptions, assessments of ventilation requirements, the
production profile, mining productivity, estimates of the costs of extraction and processing, metallurgical recoveries, the
contractual duration of mining rights, refining and offtake terms, and the selling price of the commodities extracted.
These assumptions are then assessed to ensure they are consistent with what a market participant would estimate.
Commodity Prices and Exchange Rate
Forecast commodity prices and exchange rates (US Dollar to Australian Dollar) are based on management’s estimates
and are derived from forward price curves and long terms views of global supply and demand, interest and inflation rates,
building on past experience of the industry and consistent with external sources. Estimated long term nickel and copper
prices and USD:AUD exchange rates used in the estimation of future revenues were as follows:

Capital and Operating Costs
Capital and operating Costs have been derived from a recent mining study prepared by specialist consultants with input
where required by Management and referencing historical data where relevant. Costs have been benchmarked against
industry experience and current contracts for the supply of goods and services where applicable.
Estimates have been incorporated into the discounted cash flow analysis of corporate costs and corporate taxation that a
purchaser would incur.
Discount Rates
In determining FVLCD, a real pre-tax discount rate of 10.9% was applied to the post tax cash flows expressed in real terms.
The discount rate is derived from an estimate of the Groups’ post tax weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"), with
appropriate adjustments made to reflect the risks specific to the CGU and to determine the pre-tax rate. The WACC takes
into account an estimation of the mix of debt and equity funding and associated costs of each funding source. The cost of
equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors. The cost of debt is based on an estimate
of the funding debt cost that the Group would be able to secure, with reference to past costs. Risk is incorporated by
applying beta factors.
Timing of Restart Decision
The discounted cash flow analysis assumes that operations at the Savannah Nickel Project are restarted in the second
half of the 2020 financial year. The decision and timing of a restart of operations at Savannah are dependent on a range
of factors including commodity prices and exchange rates, travel and other restrictions in place related to Covid, the
completion of pre-production development works and the ability to secure the necessary funding required on terms that
the Company considers reasonable. A delay of twelve months to timing of the restart of operations has the impact of
reducing the FVLCD by approximately $10.3 million.
A delay to the timing of the restart has the potential to impact the valuation under either FVLCD or VIU.

(ii) Sensitivities

(iii) Prior year impairment reversal of nickel CGU
On 16 July 2018, the Company's Board made the formal decision to restart operations at the Savannah Nickel Project. As
a result of this decision, the Group commenced Phase Two of the pre-production activities at the Project with first shipment
of Savannah bulk concentrate to China in February 2019.
The formal decision to restart operations at the Savannah Nickel Project was considered to be an indicator of reversal of
impairment loss recognised in prior periods and accordingly, management determined the recoverable amount of the
Savannah Nickel Project cash generating unit (“CGU”) at 31 December 2018.
The recoverable amount of the Savannah Nickel Project CGU was determined based on a combination of a discounted
cash flow (DCF) calculation at 31 December 2018 using cash flow projections based on financial budgets covering the life
of the project incorporating current market assumptions approved by the Company's Directors and independent valuations
from external valuers. The recoverable amount of the Savannah Nickel Project CGU was in excess of the carrying value
and accordingly, the entire impairment loss recognised in prior periods, adjusted for depreciation and amortisation, was
reversed. This impairment loss reversal of $19,156,000 was recognised in the consolidated income statement.
The fair value methodology adopted is categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In determining the FVLCD,
estimates were made in relation to the underlying resources/reserve and the valuation multiples.
The carrying value of the Savannah Nickel Project was reviewed for indicators of impairment at 30 June 2019 and no
indicators of impairment were identified.
(b) Thunder Bay North PGM Project
On 27 June 2019, the Company's directors resolved to sell all of the Company's shares in 100% owned Canadian entity,
Panoramic PGMs (Canada) Limited, the owner of the Thunder Bay North PGM Project, to Benton Resources Inc. (Benton)
for a total cash consideration of C$9 million.
A binding Letter Agreement was executed by the Company and Benton on 2 July 2019 to commence the process to
complete the sale over the 2019/20 financial year. As the carrying value of the Thunder Bay North PGM Project will be
recovered principally through a sale transaction, the Thunder Bay North PGM Project has been classified as an asset held
for sale at 30 June 2019.
The major classes of assets and liabilities of the Thunder Bay North PGM Project classified as disposal group held for sale
consists of exploration and evaluation properties totalling $4.299 million as at 30 June 2019. The fair value of the project
was determined based on an internal review of comparable market transactions for Platinum Group Metals projects
completed between 2010 and 2019.
The Company and Benton subsequently agreed to terminate the Letter Agreement with Benton assigning its rights under
the Letter Agreement, as amended, to Regency Gold Corp. who subsequently changed their name to Clean Air Metals Inc.
The sale of the Thunder Bay North PGM Project to Clean Air Metals Inc was completed on 15 May 2020.
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 83
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
The carrying value of the exploration and evaluation assets was reassessed based on the fair value of the consideration
receivable and an impairment reversal of $5.886 million was recorded. After the impairment reversal, there was no gain or
loss on sale recorded. The carrying value of assets disposed was $9.389 million which comprised of predominately
capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditures.
Consideration received in the period totalled $2.466 million, with the remainder reflected as receivables. Refer to notes 8
and 12 for details.

financial instruments entered into by the Group were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements, such as the
ISDA Master Netting Agreement. In certain circumstances, for example, when a credit event such as default occurs, all
outstanding transactions under an ISDA agreement could be terminated, and the termination value assessed and only a
single net amount is payable in settlement of all transactions.

The amounts set out in this note represent the derivative financial assets and liabilities of the Group that are subject to the
above arrangements and are presented on a gross basis.
On 31 March 2020, the Company closed out the nickel, copper and AUD:USD foreign exchange contracts resulting in the
crystallisation of a loss of approximately $10.148 million. As operations at the Savannah Nickel Mine were suspended the
loss was recycled from reserves to the profit and loss. As at 30 June 2020 the Company did not have any derivative
financial instruments in place.

The current provision for long service leave includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the
required period of service. Where employees have not yet completed the required period of service, their entitlement is
recognised as a non-current provision for long service leave.
The provision for restructuring costs represents the estimated termination benefits in relation to the restructure of the Group
as a result of the suspension of operations at the Savannah Nickel Project.

Bank loans
On 20 September 2018, the consolidated entity executed the Savannah Facility Agreement ("SFA") with Macquarie Bank
Limited (“Macquarie”) for an up to $40 million project loan, including executing an ISDA Master Agreement to undertake
mandatory and discretionary commodity and foreign currency hedging.
On 5 March 2019, the SFA was amended in response to the slower than expected ramp-up in production from the
Savannah orebody and lower metal prices. The first loan repayment, originally scheduled for 31 March 2020, was moved
to 30 June 2020 without changing the repayment end date of 31 December 2021. In addition, the $40 million, fully drawn
and outstanding under the SFA, was split over two tranches of $30 million in Senior Debt and $10 million in Mezzanine
Debt.
On 3 September 2019, the SFA was further amended to provide greater financial flexibility as the Savannah North Project
("Project") transitions to the Savannah North orebody. The amendments implemented include the following:
•
•
•
•
•
$20 million reduction (50%) of the previous outstanding $40 million debt was funded from new equity raised by the
Company as announced on 5 September 2019;
the loan repayment schedule was adjusted with the first repayment date being deferred by one quarter to 30
September 2020 with final repayment deferred by one quarter to 31 March 2022;
the Project's minimum liquidity amount was reduced from $7.5 million to nil;
existing hedging contracts were rolled forward to match the new loan repayment schedule from the September 2020
quarter to the March 2022 quarter; and
the Debt Service Cover ratio (DSCR) was removed and the pricing assumptions for the remaining financial covenants
were improved.
A further restructure of the SFA in September 2019 saw a repayment of $10 million in the Senior Debt tranche plus full
repayment of the $10 million Mezzanine tranche.
A new tranche 2 facility for $10 million was entered into on 31 March 2020 with the proceeds from drawdown used to fund
the close out of the commodity and AUD:USD currency hedges in place.
On 9 June 2020 all monies owed to Macquarie under the SFA were repaid in full.
The loan facility was secured over the assets and undertakings of Group subsidiary Savannah Nickel Mines Pty Ltd, the
owner of the Savannah Nickel Project. At 30 June 2020, as a result of the repayment of all monies owed under the SFA,
all securities held by Macquarie were released in full and no assets were pledged as security for bank loans (2019: carrying
value of assets pledged as security for borrowings of $181.308 million).

Related party loan facilities
On 25 November 2019, the Company executed a $10.5 million unsecured loan agreement with major shareholder and
related party Zeta Resources Limited ("Zeta"). The interest rate of the loan facility was 5% per annum (increasing to 10%
if the loan was not repaid before 31 December 2019). The loan facility is unsecured and there were no financial covenants.
Amounts drawn (plus interest accrued) were repayable on the earlier of:
• a change of control in the Company;
• the last date shares are issued under any entitlement offer undertaken by the Company;
• the occurrence of an event of default; and
• 30 June 2020, the maturity date.
As part of the agreement, Zeta undertook to subscribe for its pro-rata share of any entitlement offer by the Company,
provided such offer opened before 31 January 2020 and was for no greater than $35 million. Zeta could elect to set off the
application monies under that entitlement offer against the amounts owed to Zeta under the loan facility.
An establishment fee of 1.0% of the loan amount was payable on the maturity date (increasing to 1.5% if the loan has not
been repaid before 31 December 2019).
The loan facility, including interest and fees, was repaid on 16 January 2020 via a set off from Zeta’s $11.5 million
participation in the entitlement offer that completed in January 2020.
On 3 April 2020, The Company executed a $8.0 million unsecured subordinated loan agreement with major shareholder
and related party Zeta. The interest rate of the loan facility was 6% per annum and the maturity date was 30 June 2022.
Approximately $3.4 million of the loan principal was to be off-set by the transfer of approximately 17.2 million Horizon Gold
shares agreed to be sold by the Company to Zeta (Horizon Share Sale), if the Horizon Share Sale is approved by
Panoramic shareholders. Refer to note 31 for details of the Horizon Share Sale.
As part of the consideration for the low interest rate loan, the Company has agreed to issue options (Options) to Zeta or
its nominee, subject to the Company’s shareholder approval and Zeta or its nominee (as applicable) obtaining FIRB
approval, as follows:
• if the Horizon Share Sale is approved by the Company’s shareholders: 28,520,525 Options
• if the Horizon Share Sale is not approved by the Company’s shareholders (such that the Horizon shares are retained by
Panoramic): 50,000,000 Options.
The loan agreement included provisions to provide for “make whole” cash payments in the event that shareholder approval
was not obtained for the Horizon Share Sale and/or issue of Options as set out in the table below.

Amounts outstanding (together with any interest accrued and “make-whole” payments) under the loan facility are repayable
on the occurrence of certain events, including on the earlier of:
• a change of control in the Company (being someone obtaining voting power of more than 50% and if there is a bid it
becomes unconditional, or a scheme becomes effective); or
• the occurrence of an event of default under the Macquarie SFA (which are limited to breaches of obligations,
representations and warranties, and insolvency events).
On 9 June 2020 the Company fully repaid the principal and accrued interest on the Zeta loan facility with agreement
reached for Zeta to transfer the sale proceeds upon shareholder approval for the Horizon Share sale (as opposed to the
set-off against the repayment of the loan envisaged in the loan agreement).
PAGE 90 | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
On 29 June 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved both the Horizon Share Sale and the issue of 28,520,525 options
to Zeta. The Options have an expiry of 3 years from date of issue and a strike price of $0.16 per Panoramic share. An
expense of $0.456 million was recorded in relation to the options issued. The options have an expiry of 3 years from date
of issue and a strike price of $0.16 per Panoramic share. The options were valued using the Black and Scholes options
valuation methodology using an implied volatility of 66.6% and a risk free rate of 0.24%.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased assets recognised in the financial statements revert to
the lessor in the event of default. The operation at the Savannah Nickel Mine transitioned from owner operator to contract
miner during the year resulting in the recognition of right of use lease assets and liabilities in relation to the mining
equipment provided as part of that contract. Several existing leases were transferred to the contract miner under the terms
of the mining contract resulting in disposals of lease assets and associated liabilities. Upon the suspension of operations,
a forbearance agreement was entered into resulting in the legal settlement of the lease obligations and derecognition of
the associated leased assets and liabilities.
At 30 June 2020, the carrying amounts of assets pledged as security for current and non-current lease liabilities were
$7.198 million (2019: $7.102 million). In 2020, lease liabilities had an average term of 6 years (2019: 4 years).

The provision for rehabilitation represents the discounted value of the present obligation to restore, dismantle and
rehabilitate certain items of property, plant and equipment and to rehabilitate exploration and mining leases. The discounted
value reflects a combination of management’s assessment of the nature and extent of the work required, estimates of the
future cost of performing the work required, the expected timing of cash flows and the discount rate applied. Changes to
one or more of these assumptions is likely to result in a change to the carrying value of the provision and the related asset
or a change to profit and loss in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy stated in note 1.

2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 93
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
Management are constantly adjusting the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high returns
on assets. As the market is constantly changing, management may change the amount of dividends to be paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt or provide capital to pursue
other investments. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
(e) Financing transactions with related party
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with the corresponding increase in reserve, over the period
in which the Company receives the goods or services. Where the goods or services received or acquired do not qualify for
recognition as assets, they shall be recognised as expenses. Refer to note 20 for details.

(b) Non-controlling interests (NCI)
In December 2016, the Company divested an interest in Horizon Gold Limited by way of an initial public offering (IPO) and
listing of the subsidiary, on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
In the IPO, Horizon raised $15,000,000 before costs in new equity and issued 37,500,000 shares at $0.40 per share.
Following completion of the capital raising by Horizon, the Company's interest in Horizon was diluted from 100% to 51%.
The shares in Horizon held by the Company were held in escrow until 18 December 2018.
On 18 February 2020, the Company sold 20,237,037 shares in Horizon to significant shareholder and related party Zeta
Resources Limited for gross proceeds of approximately $5.5 million. The sale reduced the Company’s interest from 51%
to approximately 24.6% resulting in a loss of control and deconsolidation of the balance of Horizon from the Group.
On 30 March 2020, the Company agreed to sell its remaining interest in Horizon to sophisticated and professional investors,
including Zeta. The sale generated gross proceeds of approximately $3.8 million of which approximately $0.3 million was
received at the time. Zeta acquired 17,183,580 of the 18,793,580 shares sold to fully dispose of the Company’s interests
in Horizon. The balance receivable from Zeta of $3.437 million is reflected in current assets and was received in early July
2020.
The sale to Zeta was subject to shareholder approval which was obtained on 29 June 2020.
The sale and subsequent fair value accounting of Horizon shares resulted in a gain of $3.812 million being recorded in the
profit and loss for the financial year.
The financial information of Horizon for the period in which it was consolidated in which a material non-controlling interest
existed is provided below:

The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the denominator in calculating diluted (loss)/earnings per share
is not materially different to that used to calculated basic (loss)/earnings per share. The weighted average number of shares
incorporates the adjustment as a result of the issue of shares at a discount to the pre-offer closing share price during the
period. The prior year weighted average number of shares has been restated to reflect the impact of this adjustment.
There are no performance rights on issue at 30 June 2020 (2019: nil). At the date of this report, no performance rights
were granted. There were 28,520,525 options on issue at 30 June 2020 (2019: nil) which were anti-dilutive and therefore
not taken into account when calculating the weighted average number of shares.
35 Share based payments
(a) Employee Share Plan (ESP)
On 30 July 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved a three-year exemption to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 [Issues exceeding
15% of Capital] on the annual grant of performance rights and the issue of shares on the exercise of those performance
rights under the 2010 Panoramic Resources Limited Employee Share Plan (“2010 ES Plan”). From 1 July 2014 until the
expiry of the three-year exemption on 30 July 2017, executives and senior employees were invited to receive a new grant
of performance rights under the 2010 ES Plan. The number of performance rights granted each year was determined by
dividing the LTI dollar by the fair value (FV) of one performance right on 1 July (as determined by an independent valuer)
Each grant of performance rights will vest subject to meeting service and performance conditions as defined below:
2020 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 101
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020
- 75% of the performance rights will be performance tested against the relative total shareholder return (TSR) of a
customised peer group over a 3 year period; and
- 25% of the performance rights will be performance tested against the reserve/resource growth over a 3 year period, net
of depletion.
For the financial year ended 30 June 2020, no performance rights were granted to key management personnel (KMP) and
executives (2019: nil).

The weighted average remaining contractual life of performance rights outstanding at the end of the period was nil (2019:
nil).
(b) Expenses arising from share based payment transactions with employees
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with the corresponding increase in reserve, over the period
in which performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to
the performance right (‘vesting date’).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects:
(i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired; and
(ii) the number of performance rights that, in opinion of the directors of the consolidated entity, will ultimately vest. This
opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. 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.
No expense is recognised for performance rights that do not ultimately vest, except for performance rights where vesting
is conditional upon a market condition.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding performance rights is not reflected as additional share dilution in the computation
of earnings per share.
Total expenses arising from share based payment transactions recognised during the period as part of employee benefit
expense were nil with all performance rights granted having vested (or otherwise) in prior periods (2019: nil).
(c) Expenses arising from options issued to related party
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with the corresponding increase in reserve, over the period
in which the Company receives the goods or services. Where the goods or services received or acquired do not qualify for
recognition as assets, they shall be recognised as expenses.
On 29 June 2020, following approval by shareholders, the Company issued 28,520,525 options to significant shareholder
and related party Zeta Resources Limited as part of the consideration for the unsecured loan facility entered into on 3 April
2020. Refer to note 22 for further details. A finance cost of $0.456 million was recorded in relation to the options issued.
The options have an expiry of 3 years from date of issue and a strike price of $0.16 per Panoramic share. The options
were valued using the Black and Scholes options valuation methodology using an implied volatility of 66.6% and a risk free
rate of 0.24%.

No liability was recognised by the parent entity or the consolidated entity in relation to these guarantees, as the fair value
of the guarantees was immaterial.
There are cross guarantees given by Panoramic Resources Limited and Savannah Nickel Mines Pty Ltd as described in
note 31. No deficiencies of assets exist in either of these companies.
No liability was recognised by the parent entity or the Group in relation to the cross guarantees.
(c) Contingent liabilities of the parent entity
The parent entity and Group had contingent liabilities at 30 June 2020 in respect of a bank guarantees put in place with a
financial institution with a face value of $0.251 million (2019: $0.181 million).
37 Financial risk management
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, leases, borrowings, cash and derivatives.
The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate and currency risk in accordance with the
Group’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group’s financial
targets whilst protecting future financial security.
To manage exposure to commodity prices and exchange rates the Group uses derivative instruments, principally forward
sales contracts and put and call options. The purpose is to manage the commodity price and currency rate risks arising
from the Group’s operations. These derivatives provide economic hedges and qualify for hedge accounting and are based
on limits set by the Board. The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are foreign currency risk, interest
rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage
different types of risk to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to commodity prices, interest rate
and foreign currency exchange risks and assessments of market forecasts for commodity prices and foreign exchange.
Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is
monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.
Primary responsibility for the identification and control of financial risks rests with the Audit and Governance Committee
under the authority of the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below,
including the setting of limits for hedging cover of commodity prices, foreign currency and interest rate risk, credit
allowances and future cash flow forecast projections.
(a) Foreign currency exchange rate risk
The Group has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases in a currency other than
the entity’s functional currency. For the year ended 30 June 2020, 100% of the Group’s sales were denominated in United
States Dollars ("USD") (2019: 100%), whilst most of the costs are denominated in Australian Dollars ("AUD"). The Group’s
functional currency is Australian Dollars.
The Group’s income statement and balance sheet can be affected significantly by movements in the AUD/USD exchange
rate. The Group seeks to mitigate the effects of its net foreign currency exposure by using derivative instruments, principally
forward foreign currency exchange rate contracts and put and call options.
It is the Group’s policy to, where practical, enter into derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures once the
likelihood of such exposures are highly probable, and to negotiate the terms of the hedge derivatives to exactly match the
terms of the hedged items to maximise hedge effectiveness. The Group will follow its current policy of matching and
hedging up to 80% of sales revenues in USD, where practical.

Sensitivity
The following sensitivities are based on the foreign currency risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date. The +/-
10% (2019: +/- 5%) sensitivity is based on reasonably possible changes, over a financial year, using an observed range
of actual historical rates, for the AUD to the USD, for the preceding 5 years and management's expectation of future
movements.
The +/- 10% (2019: Not applicable) sensitivity is based on reasonably possible changes, over a financial year, using an
observed range of actual historical rates, for the AUD to the CAD, for the preceding 5 years and management's expectation
of future movements.
At 30 June 2020, had the currencies moved as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax
profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

Management believes the balance sheet date risk exposures are a representative estimate of the risk inherent in the
financial instruments.
(b) Interest rate risk
The Group has put in place a Cash Management Policy to ensure that excess cash holdings are invested with a range of
institutions that have sufficient financial strength to ensure the security of the investments. The Group policy is to reduce
and manage cash flow interest rate risk by ensuring a timely reduction in debt obligations through scheduled debt
repayments and non-scheduled debt repayments when excess cash is available.

(c) Fair value measurements
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement and for
disclosure purposes.
Disclosure of fair value measurements is by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)
(b) valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable (level 2), and
(c) valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable (level 3).

The fair values of trade receivables classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are determined using
market observable inputs sourced from the London Metal Exchange pricing index. These instruments are included in level
2.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter
derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions
that are based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. These techniques include comparing
contracted rates to market rates with the same length of maturity to determine the value of forward contracts and use of
option pricing models to value put options. These instruments are included in level 2. In the circumstances where a
valuation technique for these instruments is based on significant unobservable inputs, such instruments are included in
level 3.
(d) Commodity Price Risk
The Group's exposure to nickel prices is very high as approximately 80-85% of total revenue comes from sale of nickel.
Nickel is sold on the basis of nickel prices quoted on the London Metal Exchange.
The Group's profit and loss account and balance sheet can be affected significantly by movements in nickel prices on the
London Metal Exchange. The Group seeks to mitigate the effect of its nickel prices exposure by using derivative
instruments, principally forward sales contracts and put and call options. The limits of hedging are set by the Board.
The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities to commodity price
risk.
The +/- 30% sensitivity is based on reasonably possible changes, over a financial year, using the observed range of actual
historical prices for the preceding 5 year period and management's expectation of future movements.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(e) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other
receivables and derivative instruments.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is in relation to each class of recognised financial assets,
other than derivatives. The carrying amounts of these assets are as indicated in the balance sheet.
In relation to derivative financial instruments, credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to meet their
obligations under the contract or arrangement. The Group‘s maximum credit risk exposure in relation to net settled
derivatives is the total mark to market gain, should counterparts not honour their obligations. In the case of gross-settled
derivatives, the maximum exposure is the notional value. Gross-settled derivatives are held with financial institutions with
sound credit rating.
The Group has a concentration of credit risk in that it depends on one major customer for a significant volume of revenue.
Under the Group's risk management framework, each customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness on an ongoing
basis in order to minimise the risk of default. The Group believes that its customers are of sound creditworthiness as
evidenced by the compliance with the off-take agreement's payment terms over the life of each project. Refer to notes 7
and 8 for disclosures in relation to expected credit losses on financial assets carried at amortised cost.
(f) Equity price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk. This risk arises from investments held by the Group and classified on
the balance sheet as available-for-sale. The fair value of these investments are based on quoted market prices.
The Group holds investments of shares in several listed entities. The Board has not reacted to short term price fluctuations
as it has a medium to long term view on these investments. These investments represent less than 1% (2019: 1%) of total
assets and have yet to generate any revenue.
The following sensitivity is based on the equity price risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date. The sensitivity
used is +/- 65% (2019: 65%) which is based on reasonably possible changes over a financial year, based on the share
price fluctuations of the last 12 months and management's expectation of future movements.

(g) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding
when necessary and the ability to close-out market positions.
The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans
(when required), leases and committed available credit lines.
The Group regularly monitors rolling forecasts of liquidity on the basis of expected cash flows.
The Group has put in place a Group Cash Management Policy to ensure that excess cash holdings are invested with a
range of institutions that have sufficient financial strength to ensure the security of the investment. This policy is reviewed
and approved by the Board on a regular basis. When bank loans are used the Group’s policy is to reduce and manage
cash flow interest rate risk by ensuring a timely reduction in debt obligations through scheduled debt repayments and non-
scheduled debt repayments when excess cash is available.

Qualifying Statements and Notes:
Refer to ASX announcement dated 7 May 2020 covering the Savannah Project May 2020 Mineral Resource update for
detailed assumptions and estimation methodologies. Figures have been rounded and therefore may not add up exactly
to the reported totals. All Mineral Resources are inclusive of Ore Reserves. Mineral Resource cut-off grade is 0.50% Ni.
Cross references to previous Company ASX Announcements:
Savannah (above 900F) – refer to ASX announcement of 30 September 2019, titled "Mineral Resources and Ore
Reserves at 30 June 2019”
Savannah (below 900F) – refer to ASX announcement of 30 September 2015, titled "Mineral Resources and Ore
Reserves at 30 June 2015”
Savannah North – refer to ASX announcement of 24 August 2016, titled “Major Resource Upgrade for Savannah North”
No New Information or Data
The Mineral Resource estimate tabled above for Savannah (below 900F), have been previously reported and the
relevant market announcements cross referenced. Except where stated otherwise, the Company confirms that it is not
aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market
announcements and, in the case of estimate of Mineral Resources, that all material assumptions and technical
parameters underpinning the estimate in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially
changed.
Ni Equivalent References
References to Ni equivalent contained metal in Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves is based on assumed metal prices
as noted in footnotes and calculated using the formula Ni Eq kt = [(Ni grade * Ni price + Cu kt * Cu price + Co kt * Co
price) * Total Mineral Resource Tonnes] / Ni price. Ni equivalent grade % in Mineral Resources are calculated on the
formula Ni Eq % = Ni Eq kt / Total Mineral Resource tonnes. It is the Company’s opinion that all elements included in the
metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential of being recovered and sold. Metallurgical recoveries for all
metals are assumed to be equal.

Qualifying Statements and Notes:
Calculations have been rounded to the nearest 1,000t of ore, 0.01% Metal grade and 100t of metal
Savannah & Savannah North Ore Reserve average cut-off (NSR) of $135/t.
Key Assumptions
Cut-Off Grade
The Mineral Resource block model was updated with a block value field (Net Smelter Return (NSR) $/t) after consideration
of the contained metal, payability, concentrate transport cost, and WA state government and traditional owner royalties.
Cut-off grades were calculated as a dollar per ore tonne, based on the forecast operating costs in the financial model.
Economic analysis is carried out for each planned stope and only stopes with a positive return are included in the Ore
Reserve.
Cross references to previous Company ASX announcements:
• Refer to ASX announcement of 31 July 2020 entitled “Updated Savannah Ore Reserve and Mine Plan”
