Chairman’s Letter 

During the year Peel continued to progress its significant copper dominant polymetallic South Cobar 
Project. The Company is well positioned to benefit from increased demand for metals required for the 
world’s energy transition. 

A capital raising for $29 million was completed in April 2022 and the Company’s cash position at 30 June 
2022 was $22.5m.   

Peel’s primary focus has been advancing its two 100% owned copper dominant deposits, of Mallee Bull 
and  Wirlong,  which  combined  contain  a  reported  176,000  tonnes  copper.  Drilling  has  been  ongoing 
since  these  resources  were  published  and  once  the  next  stage  of  drilling  is  completed  and  assays 
received, an updated resource will be provided.  

During the year 28,177 metres of additional diamond drilling was completed at Mallee Bull. 

New intercepts at Mallee Bull included:

Review of Operations 

Peel  Mining  Limited  (“the  Company”)  is  a  base  and  precious  metals  company  focused  on  advancing  its 

projects  in  the  Cobar  Region  of  New  South  Wales,  Australia.  The  Company  has  been  active  in  the  Cobar 

Superbasin  since  March  2010,  and  since  that  time,  has  established  a  reputation  as  one  of  NSW’s  most 

successful  minerals  explorer,  with  the  largest  single  company  landholding  of  ~3,370km2  in  the  Cobar 

Superbasin. Peel’s  South Cobar Project (SCP),  which includes  the Mallee Bull,  Wirlong, May  Day, Southern 

Nights  and Wagga Tank deposits, has  a copper focused  strategy for development of the project. The SCP 

project is centred on establishing initial critical mass via high quality mineral resource definition at each of 

Peel’s copper deposits, Mallee Bull and Wirlong, and lead zinc deposits, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank to 

support a proposed centralised processing plant possessing economy of scale and mine life.  

Resource drill outs and near resource exploration was the focus of the year’s activities. 

Exploration activities 

MALLEE BULL - COPPER, SILVER, GOLD, LEAD, ZINC; WESTERN NSW. 

Mallee Bull represents one of Australia’s highest grade undeveloped copper deposits and is located ~100km 

south of Cobar. The Company completed resource upgrade drilling at the Mallee Bull deposit during the year. 

This  drilling  is  part  of  the  Company’s  strategy  to  advance  each  of  the  Company’s  deposits  to  mineable 

resources in order to achieve critical mass.  

The resource upgrade drilling program which commenced in April 2021, saw 54 holes for 28,177 metres of 

diamond drill core drilled and was primarily designed to convert Inferred classified resources to Indicated 

classification.  

The program returned some excellent high grade assays. A sample of highlights from the program include:

The true width of Mallee Bull intercepts reported is estimated to be approximately 40-60% of the downhole 

widths.  

The Company will incorporate these results into a future resource upgrade for the South Cobar Project. 

WIRLONG - COPPER, SILVER; WESTERN NSW. 

Wirlong is located ~75km south of Cobar, NSW and about 40km north of Peel’s Mallee Bull copper deposit. 

Wirlong  represents  a  classic  Cobar-style  Cu-Ag  deposit  analogous  to  the  CSA  mine.  Strong  copper 

mineralisation commences at ~60m below surface and has been defined to at least 600m below surface. The 

deposit remains open along strike and at depth. 

During the year drilling continued to establish a  maiden  copper-dominant resource  at Wirlong. A  maiden 

resource of 2.45Mt @ 2.4% Cu, 8.7g/t Ag for 57,900t contained copper and 686,000oz contained silver (see 

Mineral Resource Statement) was released in November 2021. Following a resources review which contained 

estimates from drilling up until December 2021, the Company embarked on a resource growth program to 

extend  and  upgrade  the  Wirlong  maiden  resource.  At  the  time  of  reporting  the  drilling  was  continuing.  

Drilling at Wirlong has been designed to drill test the upper ~500m of the Wirlong Central zone where high-

grade copper (chalcopyrite) mineralisation is understood to be structurally controlled on a NW-SE orientation. 

A total of 42 diamond drillholes were completed during the year for a total of 21,538 metres. Highlights from 

diamond assays returned and released to the market during the years drill programs include:

SOUTHERN NIGHTS WAGGA TANK - ZINC, LEAD, SILVER, COPPER, GOLD; WESTERN NSW. 

The Southern Nights deposit is located on the western edge of the Cobar Superbasin, ~130 km south of Cobar 
or ~50km southwest of Mallee Bull and is host to the polymetallic VMS-type deposit. Mineralisation straddles 
a  broad  zone  of  intense  tectonic  brecciation  and  hydrothermal  alteration  (sericite-chlorite  with  local 
silicification)  and  occurs  as  sub-vertical  elongate  shoots/lenses.  Drilling  by  Peel  to  date  has  focused  on 
defining the geometry and extent of large-scale Zn-rich mineralisation at Southern Nights. The Company has 
established a predominately Indicated JORC resource of 4.950Mt at 5.0% Zn, 2.0%Pb, 78g/t Ag 0.3% Cu and 
0.4g/t Au.  

No drilling at Southern Nights was completed during the year however assays were received from drilling in 
the previous year, which was designed to step-out and systematically test the prospective sediment-volcanic 
horizon for southern extensions to the high-grade massive sulphide mineralisation discovered in late 2019. 
Assay results returned confirmed that mineralisation remains open to the south, with better results including: 

 

 

1.2m @ 8.14% Zn, 3.58% Pb, 36g/t Ag from 276m and 16m @ 1.76% Zn, 0.80% Pb, 21g/t Ag from 
297m including 2m @ 2.66% Zn, 2.59% Pb, 66g/t Ag from 297m in WTRCDD248 

2m @ 1.34% Zn, 0.43% Pb, 7g/t Ag from 302m and 1.8m @ 1.56% Zn from 297m in WTDD002 

The massive sulphide mineralisation returned in WTRCDD248 occurs ~120m south of the current resource 

model, continuing the southern trend outside of the current mineral resource for Southern Nights.  

The Company is currently assessing how to best optimise the Southern Nights Wagga Tank deposit as part of 

the total South Cobar Project.

Pre-development activities 

WIRLONG METALLURGICAL TESTWORK 

During the year the Company focused its metallurgical testwork program on the Wirlong copper deposit, in 
conjunction with the release of the maiden resource. Metallurgical samples from WLDD009, WLDD011 and 
WLDD013  were  selected  as  potentially  representative  of  the  grade  and  mineralisation  styles  for  the 
anticipated  resource  model.  The  sample  composites  were  continuous,  with  the  two  WLDD013  samples 
divided into a low-grade and high-grade interval to capture the likely grade variations that could exist. 

The  testwork  program  was  conducted  by  ALS  Metallurgy  Lab  in  Burnie,  Tasmania,  and  was  designed  to 
establish  a  preliminary  flowsheet  and  assess  recoverability  of  the  Wirlong  copper  mineralisation  into  a 
flotation  concentrate.  Following  initial  grind  establishment  and  two-staged  “cleaner”  sequential  flotation 
process, a six-stage repetitive locked cycle test was undertaken on Wirlong samples to simulate operation of 
a continuous circuit where an intermediate recirculation process of the cleaner stream(s) is performed. 

The results from this early-stage testwork were outstanding, with the locked cycle flotation tests yielding 95% 
copper recoveries to 32% copper concentrate grade. These excellent results were attributed to the purity of 
the chalcopyrite dominant mineralisation and the absence of any other sulphide minerals.

ORE SORTING TESTWORK  

Following on from the successful ore-sorting testwork conducted in January 2021, on the Mallee Bull 
and Southern Nights deposits  - see ASX Announcement 28th January 2021 “Processing Hub Report & 
Promising  Ore-Sorting  Testwork  Results”,  the  Company  submitted  samples  from  the  Wirlong  and 
Mallee Bull deposits to undergo further ore-sorting trials at the TOMRA Sorting facility in Sydney. 

For  performance  testing  all  material  was  crushed  and  screened  at  8  -  19mm  &  19  -  50mm  with 
subsequent  8  -  19mm  &  19  -  50mm  products  sorted.  Less  than  8mm  material  was  considered  as 
unsorted undersize material and would be directly milled in a conceptual full-scale operation. 

The primary sorting task was to investigate the sortability of material from three samples - designated 
A, B & C - and attempt to provide high-recovery sorts for both size fractions. All runs utilized both DE-
XRT processing to eject high-density sulphides and the EM sensor to eject any magnetic / conductive 
sulphides such as pyrrhotite.

Results generated from the Wirlong testwork were very successful. Significant upgrades were achieved 
within all runs for the sample A, B and C.  The selected samples were composited to represent variability 
within the deposit and as such, have varied feed grades.  

Due to the well liberated nature of the sulphides and excellent classification of material types, all 
samples consistently produced low-grade waste fractions (less than 0.42% Cu) enabling copper 
recoveries to remain consistently high (greater than 94% across all runs). 

Importantly A and C samples had extremely low waste grade (less than 0.1% Cu) while only Sample B 
had elevated waste grades, due to a higher feed grade.

Results generated from the Mallee Bull testwork were also very successful. Significant upgrades were 
achieved within all runs for the Sample A, B and C. The selected samples were composited to represent 
variability within the deposit and as such, have varied feed grades. 

Once again, due to the  well liberated  nature of the sulphides and excellent classification of material 
types,  all  samples  consistently  produced  low-grade  waste  fractions  (less  than  0.30%  Cu)  enabling 
copper recoveries to remain consistently high (greater than 92% across all runs). 

Following  the  positive  ore-sorting  testwork  results  from  the  Wirlong  and  Mallee  Bull  deposits,  the 
Company undertook baseline flotation and locked cycle testwork on the ore-sorted samples. This was 
to not only simulate a realistic process flowsheet, incorporating ore sorting technology, but to further 
assess and optimize the recovery process and resultant concentrate grades. 

Page 10 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The testwork program was conducted by ALS Metallurgy Lab in Burnie, Tasmania, and was designed to 
establish  a  flowsheet  and  assess  recoverability  of  the  Wirlong  and  Mallee  Bull  ore  sorted  copper 
mineralisation (separately) into flotation concentrates. Following initial grind establishment and two-
staged “cleaner” sequential flotation process, a six-stage repetitive locked cycle test was undertaken on 
samples  from  both  deposits  to  simulate  operation  of  a  continuous  circuit  where  an  intermediate 
recirculation process of the cleaner stream(s) is performed. Results from both tests are shown in tables 
below.

Wirlong locked cycle flotation results previously reported for non-sorted Wirlong WLDD009, WLDD011 
and WLDD013 resulted in Cu flotation recoveries of between 94.6% and 95.6% at 32.2% and 33.8% Cu 
grade.  The  flotation  recovery  following  ore  sorting  is  likely  slightly  improved  due  to  the  rejection  of 
some fine-grained disseminated Cu mineralisation.       

Previous  locked  cycle  flotation  testing  of  a  non-sorted  high  grade  (4.88%  Cu)  sample  selected  from 
MBDD009 achieved 94.2% Cu recovery at 30.2% Cu grade – whereas the current sorted sample assayed 
2.23% Cu and achieved 92.6% Cu recovery at a 31.8% Cu grade. 

The  ore-sorted  sample  metallurgical  test  work  from  both  Wirlong  and  Mallee  Bull  is  seen  as  highly 
encouraging as the Company progress its South Cobar Project mining studies.

Ore  sorted  Wirlong  and  Mallee  Bull  samples  (Sample  A,  B  and  C)  were  supplied  to  ALS  to  undergo 
comminution testwork. The testwork included SMC, bond ball mill and abrasion index testing. 

The Bond Abrasion Index (Ai) is a measure of the abrasiveness of an ore – the composite is tumbled in 
a  mill  fitted  with  a  paddle  of  known  weight.  After  the  process  is  finished,  the  mass  of  the  paddle  is 
weighed again, and the percentage wear of the paddle is the Ai. Ai is used to determine the wear rates 
of liners and grinding media consumption.

ENVIRONMENT AND PERMITTING 

During the year the Company commissioned R.W Corkery & Co. Pty. Ltd to upgrade the existing Review of 

Environmental  Factors  (REF)  for  the  proposed  Mallee  Bull  exploration  decline  and  associated  surface 

infrastructures. The Company commissioned a number of environmental specialist consultants to undertake 

environmental assessments (biodiversity, heritage, air quality, noise and vibration assessment) at Mallee Bull 

in compliance with regulatory requirements. It is anticipated that the regulatory approval for the exploration 

decline will take between 4 to 6 months after the submission of Review of Environmental Factor (REF) to the 

NSW Department of Planning and Environment – Resource Regulator. 

Peel completed a Water Monitoring Bore (WMB) drill program at Wirlong and Mallee Bull during the year. The 

program was  designed to investigate the pre-mining baseline of groundwater environment and  to collect 

sufficient groundwater information for the environmental regulatory compliance submissions. A total of 14 

water monitoring bores have been drilled. Two holes (one from Wirlong and one from Mallee Bull) have been 

fitted  with  a  Vibrating  Wire  Piezometers  (VWPs)  to  provide  information  regarding  the  vertical  hydraulic 

gradient  throughout  the  fractured  rock  aquifer.  The  Water  Monitoring  Bore  (WMB)  drill  program  will  be 

extended to Southern Nights Wagga Tank. 

The WMB Drilling program was successful at Wirlong establishing two water monitoring bores yielding water 

flows greater than 5 litres per second. Monitoring bores drilled at Mallee Bull did not intersect significant 

water flows and hence the company is looking to further extend the Water Monitoring Bore (WMB) drilling 

program at Mallee Bull in the coming months.

CORPORATE ACTIVITIES 

CAPITAL RAISING 

In 2022 the Company announced a capital raising comprising a two-tranche placement and share purchase 

plan (SPP). The placement saw Peel raise $21m via the issue of 116,666,670 shares at an issue price of $0.18 

per share 

The  Company  launched  the  SPP  component  of  the  equity  raise  on  3rd  March  2022.The  SPP  was  heavily 

oversubscribed and the Company exercised its discretion to accept subscriptions of $8,006,702. The issue of 
44,481,428 new shares as part of the SPP was completed on the 21st March 2022. 

As part of the Brokerage paid on the above Capital Raising, the Company issued 1,522,014 fully paid shares 
and 4,248,106 share options exercisable at 23.6 cents to Ashanti Capital Pty Ltd. 

DIRECTOR OPTIONS 

At the EGM held 13th April 2022, shareholders approved 13,000,000 options issued to Company Directors, 

Mr James Simpson, Mr Mark Okeby and Mr Robert Tyson, pursuant to the Performance Rights and Option 
Plan and the terms and conditions set out in the Notice of Meeting released on 11th March 2022. 

BOARD APPOINTMENTS 

Immediately after the completion of Tranche 1 of the Placement, the Board appointed Mr Mark Okeby as 

Non-executive Chairman, Mr James Simpson was appointed to CEO and Managing Director, with Mr Robert 

Tyson transitioning to the role of Executive Director – Technical, and Mr Simon Hadfield transitioning from

SHUTTLETON STATION PURCHASE 

Peel Mining completed the purchase of Shuttleton Station, located ~70km south of Cobar NSW, in April 2022 

for a total consideration of $1.83 million. The station comprises more than 12,000 acres of Western Lands 
Lease and importantly, contains the immediate footprint of Peel’s 100%-owned Wirlong copper deposit.  

COVID-19 

For  the  entire  year,  in  response  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  the  Company  continued  its  precautionary 

measures as part of its OHS policies to ensure that risk around COVID-19 is minimised for all employees and 

contractors. These measures include increased  testing regimes, restrictions on non-essential travel, social 

distancing and hygiene, cleanliness and awareness. The Company has been able to continue its field drilling 

programs utilising its NSW-based staff.  

The Company will continue to monitor the situation in relation to COVID-19 and will act in accordance with 

Government advice to ensure a safe working environment for all its staff.

Mineral Resource Governance Statement 

During the year, Peel Mining Limited released a maiden mineral resource estimate for its Wirlong Project.  

The Mallee Bull, Wagga Tank Southern Nights and May Day Mineral Resource estimates were unchanged for 

the year, after being updated in July 2017, March 2020 and March 2021 respectively. The Attunga Mineral 

Resource estimates remained unchanged from the Resources estimate as at 30 June 2014. 

Peel  Mining  Ltd  has  ensured  that  the  Mineral  Resource  estimates  are  subject  to  good  governance 

arrangements and internal controls. The Mineral Resources reported have been generated by independent 

external  consultants  who  are  experienced  in  best  practices  in  modelling  and  estimation  methods.  The 

consultants have also undertaken a review of the quality and suitability of the underlying information used 

to generate the resource estimations. Additionally, Peel Mining Ltd carries out regular reviews and audits of 

internal processes and external contractors that have been engaged by the Company. 

The Mineral Resources estimates for Wirlong, Mallee Bull, Wagga Tank-Southern Nights and May Day, were 

compiled  and  reported  in  accordance  with  the  'Australasian  Code  for  Reporting  of  Exploration  Results, 

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' (the JORC Code) 2012 Edition, whilst the Attunga Resource Estimate was 

completed in accordance with the JORC Code 2004 Edition. 

The Wirlong, Wagga Tank Southern Nights and May Day Mineral Resource Estimates were reported using an 

NSR  cut-off  value  to  determine  the  proportion  of  the  deposit  having  reasonable  prospects  for  eventual 

economic  extraction.  The  NSR  methodology  is  common  practice  at  polymetallic  mines  and  deposits  and 

considers metallurgical recoveries for each of the product streams, along with metal prices, exchange rates, 

payabilities, deductions/penalties, transport, treatment/refining charges, and royalties. 

Mineral Resources updated in the 30 June 2022 financial year are set out below:

b) Remuneration policy and link to performance 

The objective of the remuneration framework of Peel Mining Limited is to ensure reward for performance is 

competitive  and  appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework  aligns  executive  reward  with 

achievement  of  strategic  objectives  and  the  creation  of  value  for  shareholders.  The  Board  believes  that 

executive remuneration satisfies the following key criteria: 

 

 

 

 

 

Competitiveness and reasonableness 

Acceptability to shareholders 

Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation 

Transparency  

Capital management  

These criteria result in a framework which can be used to provide a mix of fixed and variable remuneration, 

and a blend of short and long-term incentives in line with the Company’s remuneration policy. 

Board and senior management 

Fees and payments to the directors and other key management personnel reflect the demands which are 

made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors and the senior management. Such fees and payments are 

determined by the board and reviewed annually.  

Page 25 

 
 
 
 
Company policy in relation to remunerating executives is that directors are entitled to remuneration out of 

the funds of the Company, but the remuneration of the Non-executive Directors may not exceed in any year 

the amount fixed by the Company in general meeting for that purpose.  

The aggregate of fees of the Non-executive Directors has been fixed at a maximum of $250,000 per annum 

to be apportioned among the Non-executive Directors in such a manner as they determine (approved by 
shareholders at the AGM held 28th November 2019). Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travel, 

accommodation and other expenses incurred in consequence of their attendance at board meetings and 

otherwise in  the execution  of their duties as  directors.  Senior management are paid based  on applicable 

market rates. 

Remuneration is not linked to past Group performance but rather towards generating future shareholder 

wealth through share price performance. The Board and management are issued share based payments in 

the  company  on  a  periodic  basis  as  a  means  to  link  executive  rewards  to  shareholder  value  and  the 

Company’s strategic goals. The Board reviews the share based remuneration granted to management on an 

annual basis. 

Statutory performance indicators 

We  aim  to  align  our  executive  remuneration  to  our  strategic  and  business  objectives  and  the  creation  of 

shareholder wealth. The table below shows measures of the Group’s financial performance over the last five 

years  as  required  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  However,  these  are  not  necessarily  consistent  with  the 

measures  used  in  determining  the  variable  amounts  of  remuneration  to  be  awarded  to  KMPs.  As  a 

consequence, there may not always be a direct correlation between the statutory key performance measures 

and the variable remuneration awarded.

2. These options had no vesting conditions and were issued to the KMPs in this manner to encourage retention. 

The fair value at grant date of options is recorded evenly over the period from grant date through vesting 

date (where vesting conditions exist) for the purpose of reporting share-based payments as remuneration in 

the table on page 32. Where options vest immediately the total expense is recorded in that year. Fair values 

have been determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, 

term  of  the  option,  impact  of  dilution,  share  price  at  grant  date,  price  volatility  of  the  underlying  share, 

expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. 

Options over shares in Peel Mining Limited may be granted to Employees or Directors under the Company’s 

Employee Share Option Plan, which was initially created in June 2008, and re-approved by shareholders at 

the  annual  general  meeting  held  on  28  November  2019.  The  Employee  Share  Option  Plan  is  designed  to 

provide  long-term  incentives  for  employees  to  deliver  long-term  shareholder  returns.  Participation  in  the 

plan is at the board’s discretion.  

Options granted to executive directors during the year were ratified at the company’s Extraordinary General 

Meeting on 13 April 2022. As per AASB 2 Share Based Payments, the options were valued on this date.

Non-Audit Services 

The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties 

where the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Company are important. The Board has considered 

the  position  and  is  satisfied  that  the  provision  of  the  non-audit  services  is  compatible  with  the  general 

standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. 

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor as set out below did not 

compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 

 

All non-audit services have been reviewed by the Board to ensure they do not impact the impartiality 

and objectivity of the auditor; and, 

  None of the services undermine the general principles relating to the auditor independence as set out 

in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants. 

Details of the fees paid to the auditor during the year can be found at note 21 of the notes to the consolidated 

financial statements.

2. Investment in listed securities 

On 30 June 2021, Odin Metals Limited (‘Odin’) issued the 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to Peel on 30 

June 2021 as consideration for the sale of its Koonenberry Project licenses which were carried at $453,536. 

The fair value of the listed security was $1,750,000. The Company recorded a gain on sale on the disposal of 

$1,296,464 once the conditions precedent were met. The securities were issued and quoted on 30 June 2021. 

The closing price for the securities that day was AU$0.035.  

The company did not acquire or dispose of any investments in listed securities during year ended 30 June 

2022. The Odin securities were revalued during the period and a revaluation loss of $1,100,000 was recorded

3. Segment information 

Management has determined that the Group has only one reportable segment being mineral exploration 

and development in New South Wales.  

The Group is focused on mineral exploration and development of the South Cobar Project, and the Board 

monitors  the  Group  based  on  actual  versus  budgeted  expenditure  incurred.  This  internal  reporting 

framework  is  the  most  relevant  to  assist  the  Board  with  making  decisions  regarding  the  Group  and  its 

ongoing  exploration  and  development  activities,  while  also  taking  into  consideration  the  results  of 

exploration work that has been performed. The Board will review its position on the Company’s reportable 

segments as it progresses towards development. 

4. Cash and cash equivalents

5. Exploration assets 

All  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  is  capitalised  under  AASB  6  Exploration  for  and  Evaluation  of 

Mineral Resources. Mineral interest acquisition costs and exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is 

accumulated and capitalised in relation to each identifiable area of interest.  

These costs are only carried forward to the extent that the Group’s right to tenure to that area of interest are 

current and either the costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation 

of the area of interest (alternatively by sale) or where areas of interest have not at reporting date reached a 

stage  which  permits  a  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or  otherwise  of  economically  recoverable 

reserves, and active, and significant operations are undertaken in relation to the area of interest. 

Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the exploration and 

evaluation phase or development phase until production commences. 

Peel accounts for funds received from the ATO under the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Incentive 

Scheme as an offset to the Exploration and Evaluation asset, where the initial expenses to which it relates 

were capitalised. No R&D Tax Incentive Scheme claims were made in the year ended 30 June 2022 (2021: Nil).

Impairment assessment 

The carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment regularly 

and  if  after  expenditure  is  capitalised,  information  becomes  available  suggesting  that  the  recovery  of 

expenditure is unlikely or that the Group no longer holds tenure, the relevant capitalised amount is written 

off to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period when the 

new information becomes available. 

Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure are also assessed for impairment prior to the reclassification 

as mine properties and development costs.  

During the period, the Company has written off $60,211 (2021: $345,584) of exploration assets.

6. Trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary 

course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as 

current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless 

they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Group holds the 

trade  receivables  with  the  objective  to  collect  the  contractual  cash  flows  and  therefore  measures  them 

subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime 

expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. Other current receivables and prepayments were previously 

presented together with trade receivables but are now presented as other financial assets at amortised cost 

(receivables) and other current assets (prepayments) in the balance sheet, to reflect their different nature. 

In determining the recoverability  of a trade or other receivable using the expected credit loss model,  the 

Group  performs  a  risk  analysis  considering  the  type  and  age  of  the  outstanding  receivables,  the 

creditworthiness of the counterparty, contract provisions, letter of credit and timing of payment. 

No material provision for credit losses was required to be recognised in the current period ending 30 June 

2022 (2021: Nil). 

The Group classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables.  Management determines the classification 

at initial recognition and where applicable re-evaluates this designation at the end of each reporting period.  

Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.  The Group assesses 

at the end of each financial period whether a financial asset is impaired. 

Security deposits are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted 

in an active market.

7. Property, plant and equipment  

Property (land held at cost) 

Property, being interests in land, is held at historical cost and is not depreciated as per  AASB 116 Property, 

Plant and Equipment. 

During the year, the Company purchased Shuttleton Station, a 12,000 acre property ~70km south of Cobar 

NSW. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement with a private landholder, Peel has paid  total 

consideration of $1,830,000 (plus costs), which has given them a combination of freehold land ownership and 

perpetual rights via Western Lands Lease. 

Plant and equipment 

All assets acquired, including plant and equipment are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition, being the 

fair  value  of  the  consideration  provided  plus  incidental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition.  

Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or 

revalued amounts over their estimated useful lives from the time the asset is held ready for use as follows: 

 

 

Plant 

Vehicles 

  Office equipment 
 

Computer software  

3-10 years  

3-5 years 

3-5 years 

3-5 years 

The  assets’  residual  values  and  useful  lives  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  the  end  of  each 

reporting period.  An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the 

asset’s carrying amount is impaired. 

An item  of plant and equipment is derecognised  upon disposal or when no future  economic benefits  are 

expected from its use or disposal. 

Any  gain  or loss arising on  de-recognition  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. 

Impairment of assets 

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.  

Where  an  indicator  of  impairment  exists,  the  Company  makes  a  formal  estimate  of  recoverable  amount.  

Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and 

is written down to its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.  It is determined for 

an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs 

of disposal and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or 

groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which 

the asset belongs.  The estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a post-tax 

discount rate reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the 

asset. 

No impairment loss has been recognised for the year ended 30 June 2022 (2021: $nil).

8. Financial assets at fair value through comprehensive income 

Classification of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income 

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) held by the Group comprise of 

equity  securities,  with  companies  listed  on  the  Australian  securities  exchange.  The  group  has  irrevocably 

elected at initial recognition to recognise  category gains  and losses through other comprehensive income 

and accumulated in the fair value reserve of financial assets at FVOCI. These are strategic investments and 

the Group considers  this classification to be more relevant.  On disposal of  these equity  investments, any 

related  balance  within  the  fair  value  reserve  is  reclassified  to  accumulated  losses.  Note  24  sets  out  the 

remaining accounting policies in relation to Financial Assets.

This  section  explains  the  judgements  and  estimates  made  in  determining  the  fair  values  of  the  financial 

instruments  that  are  recognised  and  measured  at  fair  value  in  the  financial  statements.  To  provide  an 

indication  about  the  reliability  of  the  inputs  used  in  determining  fair  value,  the  group  has  classified  its 

financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each 

level follows under the table.

There  were  no  transfers  between  the  levels  for  recurring  fair  value  measurements  during  the  year.  The 

group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting 

period. 

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives 

and  equity  securities)  is  based  on  quoted  market  prices  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.    The  quoted 

market  price  used  for  financial  assets  held  by  the  group  is  the  current  bid  price.    These  instruments  are 
included in level 1. 

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-

counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market 

data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.  If all significant inputs required to fair value an 
instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. 

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is 
included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities. 

All of the resulting fair value estimates for the year ended 30 June 2022 and 2021 are included in level 1 as 

the financial instruments are securities listed on the Australian securities exchange. Therefore, the fair value 

estimate is the share price of the listed securities as at balance date ($0.013 – 30 June 2022; $0.035 - 30 June 

2021).

9. Trade and other payables 

These amounts represent liabilities  for goods and services  provided  to the Group prior to the end of  the 

financial  year  which  are  unpaid.    The  amounts  are  unsecured  and  are  usually  payable  within  30  days  of 

invoice.  They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost.

10. Contributed equity 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares, 

performance rights or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.  Incremental 

costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares, performance rights or options for the acquisition of a 

business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. 

If the entity acquires its own equity instruments, e.g. as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments are 

deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled.  No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or 

loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) are 

recognised directly in equity.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company 

in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. 

By a poll, every ordinary share provides an entitlement to one vote either in person at the  meeting or by 

proxy. 

Ordinary shares have no par value, and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

f) Capital risk management 

In employing its capital, the Company seeks to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern and 

in time provide value to shareholders  by way  of increased market capitalisation and/or dividends.  In the 

current stage of its development, the Company has invested its available capital in acquiring and exploring 

mining tenements.  As is appropriate at this stage, the Company is funded entirely by equity. As it moves 

forward to develop its tenements towards production, the Company will adjust its capital structure to support 

its  operational  and  strategic  objectives,  by  raising  additional  capital  or  taking  on  debt,  as  is  seen  to  be 

appropriate from time to time given the overriding objective of creating shareholder value.  In this regard, 

the board will consider each step forward in the development of the Company on its merits and in the context 

of the then capital markets, in deciding how to structure funding arrangements.

Nature and purpose of fair value reserve of financial assets at FVOCI  

The Group has elected to recognise the changes in the fair value of certain investments in listed securities in 

other comprehensive income and through this reserve, as explained in note 8.  The group transfers amounts 

from this reserve to retained earnings or accumulated losses when the listed securities are disposed.

12. Revenues and other income 

Income recognition 

Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and 

the  income  can  be  reliably  measured.  The  following  specific  recognition  criteria  must  also  be  met  before 

income is recognised. 

(i) Other income

1.  Notification was received by Peel from JOGMEC on 14 August 2020 that it was withdrawing from the agreement. The withdrawal 

resulted in all rights and interests in the CSP tenure being transferred to Peel at no cost, resulting in Peel regaining 100% ownership 
through its subsidiary Peel CSP Pty Ltd. JOGMEC did not take up its 50% interest, thus the full amount of deferred income, being 
$7,347,006, has been recognised as a gain in the profit or loss.  

2.  COVID-19 government assistances received. There are no unfulfilled conditions or other contingencies attaching to these grants. The 

government grants are recognised at their fair value. 

3.  Peel (CSP) Pty Ltd received 10% management fee on all exploration expenses as the operator of the CSP Project, under the JOGMEC 
farm-in arrangement. The income was accrued when expenditure was incurred. This revenue fell under the adoption of AASB 15 
effective 1 July 2018 as it is identified to be a single performance obligation and separately identifiable from the deferred income.  
4.  Option subscription price fee received from Ashanti Capital as part of the agreement to issue options in lieu of service fees for share 

placement. 

 (ii) Interest income 

Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest rate method. 

Interest income 

(iii) Gain on disposal of assets  

Gain on sale of Koonenberry Assets 

(Loss) or gain on disposal of PPE

14. Deferred and income tax expense 

The income tax expense (or benefit) for the period is the tax payable (or refundable) on the current period’s 

taxable income based on the notional income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred 

tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. 

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of 

assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 

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.  

A deferred income tax asset is not recognised 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 

income  or  when  the  deductible  temporary  difference  is  associated  with  investments  in  subsidiaries, 

associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent 

that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will 

be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the 

extent  it  is  no  longer  probable  that  sufficient  taxable  income  will  be  available  to  allow  all  or  part  of  the 

deferred income tax asset to be utilised. 

Page 55 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 

at the reporting date.  Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity 

and not in profit and loss for the year.

16. Financial risk management 

Overview 

The Group is exposed to financial risks through the normal course of its business operations. The key risks 

impacting the Group’s financial instruments are considered to be interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and credit 

risk.  The  Group’s  financial  instruments  exposed  to  these  risks  are  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  security 

deposits, trade receivables, trade payables and other payables.  

Credit risk 

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as 

credit  exposures  to  wholesale  and  retail  customers,  including  outstanding  receivables.  Management 

assesses the credit quality of the counterparties by taking into account its financial position, past experience 

and other factors. For banks and financial institutions, management considers independent ratings and only 

dealing with banks licensed to operate in Australia. 

The  Company  applies  the  AASB  9  simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected  credit  losses  which  uses  a 

lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. To measure the expected credit 

losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics 

and the days past due. 

Tax receivables and prepayments do not meet the definition of financial assets. 

Risk management 

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk in relation to cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets 

by only utilising banks and financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings.  

The Group operates in the mining exploration sector and does not have trade receivables from customers. It 

does however have credit risk arising from other receivables. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The 

Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to 

meet its  liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable 

losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.  The Group manages liquidity by maintaining adequate 

reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows ensuring there are appropriate plans in 

place to finance these future cash flows. 

Typically, the Group ensures it has sufficient cash on hand to meet expected operational expenses, including 

the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot 

reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the Group’s financial position will be adversely affected by movements in 

interest rates, cash and cash equivalents at variable rates exposes the Group to cashflow interest rate risk. 

The Group is not exposed to fair value interest rate risk as all of its financial assets and liabilities are carried 

at amortised amount.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments of the consolidated entity 

The  company’s  cash  at  bank  attracts  nominal  interest  rates  such  that  the  company  is  not  susceptible  to 

material interest rate risk. The company’s short-term term deposits as at 30 June 2022 represent fixed rates 

and are not subject to any interest rate risk specifically at period end.During the prior year the company did 

not hold short term cash deposits and therefore were not exposed to material interest rate risk.

The Directors’ objectives when managing capital are to ensure that the Group can fund its operations and 

continue as a going concern, so that it may continue to  provide returns for shareholders and benefits for 

other stakeholders.  Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does 

not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings.  Therefore, 

the  focus  of  the  Group’s  capital  risk  management  is  the  current  working  capital  position  against  the 

requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. 

The  Group’s  strategy  is  to  ensure  appropriate  liquidity  is  maintained  to  meet  anticipated  operating 

requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

Working capital position 

Fair values 

The carrying values of all financial assets and financial liabilities, as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement 

of Financial Position, are the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature. 

Equity security price risk 

The Group’s income may be exposed to equity security price fluctuations arising from investments in equity 

securities and the options available to the Group. At 30 June 2022, the Group did not hold any listed equity 

securities at fair value through profit and loss (2021: Nil). 

At the balance date the group had the following exposure to equity price risk:

     1,750,000

At 30 June 2022, if the underlying equity prices had moved by a reasonably possible 10%, as illustrated in the 

table below, with all other variables held constant, other comprehensive income and equity would have been 

affected as follows: 

Judgement of reasonably possible movements:

A sensitivity of +10% or -10% has been selected as this is considered reasonable given recent fluctuations in 

equity.

17. Contingencies & Commitments 

The Group had no contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2022 (2021: $nil). 

Lease commitments – Peel Mining Limited as lessee 

The Company rents its Perth office, on a month-by-month basis.  The Company has elected to apply the short-

term lease exemption to this agreement. The Company made payments during the year for the lease which 

totalled $48,000 (2021: $48,000). 

The  Company  has  entered  into  an  equipment  rental  agreement  for  a  printer  for  a  term  of  36  months 

commencing in August 2021.  Under the Company’s accounting policy, all leased assets valued at or below 

$10,000 qualify for the low value lease exemption.  The lease payments for the printer which were expensed 

during the year total $2,629 (2021: $nil).  

The group had no other lease commitments within 12, before 60 or later than 60 months as at 30 June 2022. 

Exploration commitments 

Under the terms of mineral tenement licences held by the Group in New South Wales, there are no minimum 

annual expenditure obligations required to be expended during the forthcoming financial year in order for 

the tenements to maintain a status of good standing.  

Work programs are submitted on application and renewal which may be subject to variation from time to 

time in accordance with the relevant state department’s regulations. The Group may at any time relinquish 

tenements, and avoid expenditure required on work programs, or may seek exemptions from the relevant 

authority. The Groups only commitments in relation to these tenements are the payment of annual rents 

which for the upcoming year total $78,780 (2021: $150,897). 

18. Events after the reporting period 

On the 12th August 2022 the company sold its holding of 50,000,000 shares in Odin Metals Limited (ASX:

20. Share–based payments 

Share-based compensation benefits to directors, employees and consultants are provided at the discretion 

of  the  board.  The  fair  value  of  share-based  payments  granted  are  recognised  as  an  expense  with  a

(a) OPTIONS 

(i) Employee share option plan  

During the year the Company  did not grant any options  to employees through its employee share option 

plan (“ESOP”). 

The  fair  value  of  options  at  grant  date  is  independently  determined  using  a  Black-Scholes  option  pricing 

model that takes into account the exercise price, term of the option, share price at grant date, expected price 

volatility of the underlying share, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the 

option.  Total  expenses  arising  from  share-based  payment  transactions  recognised  in  the  profit  and  loss 

during the year were as follows:

Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  profit  or  loss  attributable  to  equity  holders  of  the 

Company,  excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares,  by  the  weighted  average 

number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary 

shares issued during the year. 

Diluted loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into 

account the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential 

ordinary  shares  and  the  weighted  average  number  of  shares  assumed  to  have  been  issued  for  no 

consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

24. Statement of other significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies 
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.  The financial report includes 
the financial statements for the Group which comprises Peel Mining Limited and its controlled entities at the end 
of, or during the financial years ended 30 June 2021 and the comparative period. 

(a) 

Basis of preparation 

These  general-purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting 
Standards,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board,  Australian 
Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. Peel Mining Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose 
of preparing the financial statements. As at 30 June 2022, the Group made a net loss after tax of $3,421,924 (2021: 
Profit $3,691,351). The ongoing capital requirements of the Group are dependent on the Group’s ability to raise 
funds in the future.  

The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Group will have sufficient cash flows to 
meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the twelve-month period from the date of signing this 
financial report. Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied 
that the basis of preparation is appropriate. 

Page 74 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Compliance with IFRS 

The financial statements and notes of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

Historical cost convention 

These  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention  except  for  financial  assets 
measured at fair value. 

(b) 

Principles of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity, comprising Peel Mining Limited (“the 
parent entity”) and entities controlled during the year and at reporting date (“Group”). A controlled entity is any 
entity that the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has 
the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. 

Information from the financial statements of the controlled entities is included from the date the parent company 
obtains control until such time as control ceases.  Where there is a loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated 
financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting period during which the parent company has 
control. 

Subsidiary acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. 

The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  prepared  for  the  same  reporting  period  as  the  parent  entity,  using 
consistent accounting policies.  

All  intercompany  balances  and  transactions,  including  unrealised  profits  arising  from  intra-Group  transactions, 
have been eliminated in full.  Unrealised losses are eliminated except where costs cannot be recovered. 

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost in the parent entity. 

Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint 
ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal 
structure of the joint arrangement.  

Joint operations 

Peel Mining Limited previously recognised its direct right to the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint 
operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These have been 
incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings. At 30 June 2021, Peel Mining no longer 
was party to any arrangements that were considered joint operations. 

(c) 

Fair value estimation 

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for 
disclosure purposes. 

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their 
fair values due to their short-term nature.  The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated 
by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group 
for similar financial instruments. 

(d) 

Accounting for farmouts 

The Group may enter into transactions whereby a third party (“Farmee”) may earn a right to acquire an interest in 
assets owned by the Group by meeting certain obligations agreed to by both parties. As the terms of farm-ins are 
not  generic  management  assess  each  agreement  on  a  transaction-by-transaction  basis  and  determines  the 
appropriate accounting treatment based on the terms of the agreement. 

(e) 

Leases 

AASB 16 Leases eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases for lessees. Except for short-
term leases and leases of low-value assets, rights-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised 
in the statement of financial position. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life 
and the lease term on a straight-line basis, while the lease liability is reduced by an allocation of each lease payment. 
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis 
as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets 
comprise IT-equipment and small items of office furniture. 

Page 75 

 
 
 
As at 30 June 2022, the Group did not recognise any lease assets or lease liabilities on the balance sheet. During the 
prior period, the Group classified the lease for its office space as a short termlease with payments recognised as an 
expense as incurred. As the contract term is less than 12 months, and considered short-term, the Group elects to 
recognise the lease payments directly as an expense in profit or loss. 

 (f) 

Investments and other financial assets 

The group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: 

 
 

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and  
those  to  be  measured  at  amortised  cost.  The  classification  depends  on  the  entity’s  business  model  for 
managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows 

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments 
in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable 
election  at  the  time  of  initial  recognition  to  account  for  the  equity  investment  at  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive income (FVOCI). 

The  group  reclassifies  debt  investments  when  and  only  when  its  business  model  for  managing  those  assets 
changes. 

Recognition and derecognition 

Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date, being the date on which the group commits 
to  purchase  or  sell  the  asset.  Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when  the  rights  to  receive  cash  flows  from  the 
financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all the risks and 
rewards of ownership. 

Measurement 

At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not 
at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the 
financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. 

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash 
flows are solely payment of principal and interest. 

Equity instruments 

The group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the group’s management has elected 
to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair 
value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment.  

Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the group’s right 
to receive payments is established. 

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit 
or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at 
FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. 

(g) 

Employee benefits 

Short-term obligations 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and leave entitlements that are expected to be 
settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are 
recognised in respect of employees’ services up to balance date and are measured at the amounts expected to be 
paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Page 76 

 
 
 
 
 
(h) 

Goods and services tax 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of goods and services tax (“GST”), except where the amount of 
GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority.  In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part 
of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  with  the  amount  of  GST  included.    The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  is 
included as a current asset in the statement of financial position.   

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.  The GST components of cash flows arising 
from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from the taxation authority are classified as operating 
cash flows. 

(i) 

New accounting standards and amendments 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are mandatory for the 30 June 
2022 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the group.  These standards are not expected to have a 
material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. 

(j) 

Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

The  directors  evaluate  estimates  and  judgements  incorporated  into  the  financial  report  based  on  historical 
knowledge and best available current information. 

The Company makes estimates and judgements in applying the accounting policies. Critical judgements in respect 
of  accounting  policies  relate  to  exploration  assets,  where  exploration  expenditure  is  capitalised  in  certain 
circumstances.  Recoverability  of  the  carrying  amount  of  any  exploration  assets  is  dependent  on  the  successful 
development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas of interest. 

Share-based payment transactions 

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees by reference to 
the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value is determined using a variety of financial 
models including hybrid and Black-Scholes models. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-
settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the 
next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity. 

Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure 

It is the Group’s policy to capitalise costs relating to exploration and evaluation activities. The future recoverability 
of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon a number of factors, including whether 
the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration 
and evaluation asset through sale.  

Factors  that  could  impact  future  recoverability  include  the  level  of  reserves  and  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, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which the determination is made.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Peel Mining Limited 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Peel Mining Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries 
(collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 
30 June 2022, 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 2022 

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

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

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional 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. For the 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 this matter. 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 matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the 
accompanying financial report.

1.  Exploration and evaluation assets   

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As disclosed in Note 5 of the financial report, the 
Group held exploration and evaluation asset of 
$89,717,191.  

The carrying value of exploration and evaluation 
assets are assessed for impairment by the Group 
when facts and circumstances indicate that the 
exploration and evaluation assets may exceed 
their recoverable amount. During the year, the 
Group determined that there had been no 
indicators of impairment. 

This was considered a key audit matter as the 
determination as to whether an exploration and 
evaluation asset can be carried forward, or 
alternatively should be impaired, involves a 
number of judgements including whether the 
Group has tenure, whether the Group will be able 
to perform ongoing expenditure and whether 
there is sufficient information for a decision to 
be made that the area of interest in not 
commercially viable. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

► 

► 

► 

► 

Considered the Group’s right to explore in the 
relevant exploration area, which included 
obtaining and assessing supporting 
documentation such as license agreements. 

Considered the Group’s intention to carry out 
significant exploration and evaluation activities 
in the relevant   areas which included assessing 
whether the Group’s cash-flow forecasts 
included planned exploration and evaluation 
activities, and enquiring with management as to 
the intentions and strategy of the Group. 

Considered the Group’s assessment of whether 
the commercial viability of extracting mineral 
resources had been demonstrated and whether 
it was appropriate to continue to classify the 
capitalised expenditure for the area of interest 
as an exploration and evaluation asset. 

Considered whether there was any other data or 
information that indicated the carrying value of 
the capitalised exploration and evaluation 
expenditure would not be recovered in full from 
successful development or by sale. 

► 

Assessed the adequacy of the disclosure 
included in the financial report.

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 annual report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s 
report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report 
and our related assurance opinion.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

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. 

►  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

with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our

accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

is  available 

from 

the  corporate  governance 

information  section  of 

the  Company  website  at 

www.peelmining.com.au.

The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do with the 

proper functioning of the board. All directors have direct access to the Company Secretary. 

The  Board  has  delegated  to  management  responsibility  for  the  day-to-day  operation  and  administration  of  the 

Company is delegated by the board to the Managing Director. The Board ensures that the Managing Director and 

the  management  team  is  appropriately  qualified  and  experienced  to  discharge  their  responsibilities  and  has  in 

place procedures to assess the performance of the Managing Director and Executive Directors. 

The roles of Chairman and Managing Director are not combined. The Managing Director is accountable to the Board 

for all authority delegated to the position. 

Whilst there is a clear division between the responsibilities of the Board and management, the Board is responsible 

for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by 

the Board. The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved including: 

 

 

 

Board approval and monitoring of a strategic plan; 

approval of annual and semi-annual budgets and monitoring actual performance against budget; and 

procedures  are  in  place  to  incorporate  presentations  to  each  Board  Meeting  by  financial  and  operations 

management. 

Composition of the board 

The names, skills, experiences and period of office of the Directors of the Company in office at the date of this 

Statement are set out in the Director’s Report.  A summary of these skills and experiences are provided in table 1. 

The composition of the Board is determined using the following principles.  

 

Persons  nominated  as  Non-executive  Directors  shall  be  expected  to  have  qualifications,  experience  and 

expertise of benefit to the Company and to bring an independent view to the Board’s deliberations. Persons 

nominated  as  Executive  Directors  must  be  of  sufficient  stature  and  security  of  employment  to  express 

independent views on any matter; 

 

 

 

The  Chairperson  should  ideally  be  independent,  but  in  any  case  be  Non-executive  and  be  elected  by  the 

Board based on his/her suitability for the position; 

The roles of Chairperson and Managing Director should not be held by the same individual; 

All Non-executive Directors are expected voluntarily to review their membership of the Board from time-to-

time taking into account length of service, age, qualifications and expertise relevant to the Company’s then 

current policy and programme, together with the other criteria considered desirable for composition of a 

balanced board and the overall interests of the Company; 

 

The Company considers that the Board should have at least three Directors (minimum required under the 

Company's Constitution) and to have a majority of independent Directors but acknowledges that this may 

not be possible at all times due to the size of the Company.  Currently the Board has four Directors, with only 

Mr Hadfield as independent.  The number of Directors is maintained at a level which will enable effective 

spreading of workload and efficient decision making. 

Page 86 

 
 
 
 
 
The Board has accepted the following definition of an independent Director: 

An independent Director is a Director who is not a member of management (a Non-executive Director) and who: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

does  not  hold  more  than  5%  of  the  voting  shares  of  the  Company  and  is  not  an  officer  of,  or  otherwise 

associated directly or indirectly with, a shareholder of more than 5% of the voting shares of the Company; 

is not, or has not been, employed in an executive capacity by the Company or any of its child entities and there 

has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the board; 

is  not,  or  has  not  within  the  last  three  years  been,  a  partner,  director  or  senior  employee  of  a  provider  of 

material professional services or a material consultant to the Company or any of its child entities is not, or has 

not been within the last three years, in a material business relationship (e.g. as a supplier or customer) with 

the Company or any of its child entities, or an officer of, or otherwise associated with, someone with such a 

relationship; 

is not a substantial security holder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated with, a substantial 

security holder of the Company; 

does not have a material contractual relationship with the Company or its child entities other than as a Director; 

does not have close family ties with any person who falls within any of the categories described above; or 

has  not  been  a  Director  of  the  Company  for  such  a  period  that  his  or  her  independence  may  have  been 

compromised. 

The materiality thresholds are assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the relevant Director’s specific 

circumstances, rather than referring to a general materiality threshold. 

All Board Members receive performance-based remuneration as outlined in the Remuneration Report. However, 

the  Board  are  of  the  opinion that  these  incentives  are  aligned  with  the  Company’s  objectives  and  the quantum 

received do not compromise the independence of the individual director. 

The Board recognises that it has 50% independent directors and not a majority. This is mainly due to the size of the 

Board and the composition of executive and non-executive directors. When the Board decides to appoint additional 

members, it will ensure that the majority of directors are independent.

The directors on the Board collectively have a combination of skills and experience in the competencies set out in 

the table above. These competencies are set out in the skills matrix that the Board uses to assess the skills and 

experience of each director and the combined capabilities of the Board. Where an existing or projected competency 

gap  is  identified,  the  Board  will  address  those  gaps.  The  Board  does  not  currently  consider  that  there  are  any 

existing or projected competency gaps. 

Page 87 

 
 
 
 
 
Independent professional advice and access to company information 

Each Director has the right to seek independent external professional advice as they considered necessary at the 

expense of the Company, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman. A copy of any such advice received is 

made available to all members of the Board.  

Nomination committee / appointment of new directors  

Because of the size of the Group and the size of the Board, the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to establish 

a  separate  Nomination  Committee.  The  board  has  adopted  a  Nomination  Committee  Charter  and  will  act  in 

accordance with the Charter and hold special meetings or sessions as required. The Board are confident that this 

process for selection and review is stringent and full details of all Directors are provided to shareholders in the 

annual report and on the internet. The composition of the Board is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure the Board 

has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience. Where a vacancy exists, through whatever cause, or where it 

is  considered  that  the  Board would benefit  from  the  services  of  a  new  Director  with  particular  skills,  the  Board 

determines the selection criteria for the position based on the skills deemed necessary for the Board to best carry 

out  its  responsibilities  and  then  appoints  the  most  suitable  candidate  who  must  stand  for  election  at  the  next 

general meeting of shareholders. 

Non-executive Directors (except for the Chairman) do not have written agreements setting out the key terms and 

conditions of their appointment because the Company’s constitution and the ASX Listing Rules govern the term of 

each director’s appointment. Directors are required to retire by rotation. Common law and the Corporations Act 

govern the duties of directors and members are required to approve the maximum fees paid to Non-executive 

Directors.  Executive directors enter into an employment agreement which governs the terms of their appointment. 

The Board undertakes appropriate checks prior to nominating a director for election by shareholders.  These checks 

include a police and reference checks.  Shareholders are provided with all material information in its possession 

concerning a director standing for election or re-election in the relevant notice of meeting. 

An informal induction is provided to all new directors, which includes meeting with technical and financial personnel 

to understand Peel Mining Limited’s business, including strategies, risks, company policies and health and safety.  

All Directors are required to maintain professional development necessary to maintain their skills and knowledge 

needed to perform their duties.  In addition to training provided by relevant professional affiliations of the Directors, 

additional development is provided through attendance at seminars and provision of technical papers on industry 

related  matters  and  developments  offered  by  various  professional  organisations,  such  as  accounting  firms  and 

legal advisors. The Board will approve and review continuing professional development programs and procedures 

for Directors to ensure that they can effectively discharge their responsibilities. 

Term of office 

Under the Company's Constitution, the minimum number of Directors is three. At each Annual General Meeting, 

one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must resign, with Directors resigning by rotation based 

on  the  date  of  their  appointment.  Directors  resigning  by  rotation  may  offer  themselves  for  re-election.  Where 

standing for re-election as a Director, the term of office served by the Director and a statement of whether the 

Board considers the candidate to be independent and if the Board supports the re-election of the candidate will be 

provided to shareholders.

Performance of Directors and Managing Director 

The  performance  of  all  Directors,  the  Board  as  a  whole  and  the  Managing  Director  and  Company  Secretary  is 

reviewed annually. 

The Board meets once a year with the specific purpose of conducting a review of its composition and performance. 

This review includes: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

comparison of the performance of the Board against the requirements of the Corporate Governance Plan; 

assessment of the performance of the Board over the previous twelve months having regard to the corporate 

strategies, operating plans and the annual budget; 

review the Board’s interaction with management; 

identification of any particular goals and objectives of the Board for the next year; 

review the type and timing of information provided to the directors; and 

identification of any necessary or desirable improvements to Board or committee charters. 

A review was undertaken during the reporting period. 

Performance of senior executives 

The Managing Director is responsible for assessing the performance of the key executives within the Company.  

This is to be performed through a formal process involving a formal meeting with each senior executive. The basis 

of evaluation of senior executives will be on agreed performance measures.  

A review of senior executives was undertaken during the reporting period.  

Conflict of interest 

In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  Company’s  constitution,  Directors  must  keep  the  Board 

advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the Company. Where the 

Board believes a significant conflict exists, the Director concerned does not receive the relevant Board papers and 

is not present at the Board meeting whilst the item is considered. Details of Directors related entity transactions 

with the Company are set out in the related parties note in the financial statements. 

Page 89 

 
 
 
 
 
Diversity 

Peel Mining Limited recognises the benefits arising from employee and Board diversity, including a broader pool of 

high-quality employees, improving employee retention, accessing different perspectives and ideas and benefiting 

from all available talent. Diversity includes, but is not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. 

The  Diversity  Policy  defines  the  initiatives  which  assist  Peel  Mining  Limited  with  maintaining  and  improving  the 

diversity  of  its  workforce.  A  copy  of  the  Diversity  Policy  can  be  found  in  the  company’s  Corporate  Governance 

Framework on the Company’s website. The Company currently has a naturally diverse workplace in terms of gender, 

age, ethnicity and cultural background, and believes that currently meets the objectives of its policy.  As such no 

formal measurable objectives have been required or set for achieving diversity.  This will be monitored by the Board 

on an annual basis. 

The policy was formally adopted by the Company on the 23 September 2015 and updated as at 1st September 

2020. 

The respective proportions of men and women on the Board, in senior executive positions and across the whole 

organisation employed throughout the year are set out in the table below: 

Proportion of Women 

Organisation as a whole 

Executive management team 

Board 

Remuneration 

Proportion of women 

12 out of 42 (29%) 

0 out of 2 (0%) 

0 out of 5 (0%) 

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 high quality Executives and Management; 

  Design executive remuneration to attract, retain and motivate high quality senior executives; 

 

 

Link Executive rewards to shareholder value; and 

Establish appropriate performance hurdles in relation to variable Executive and Management remuneration. 

A  full  discussion  of  the  Company’s  remuneration philosophy  and  framework  and  the  remuneration  received  by 

Directors and Executives in the current year is included in the remuneration report, which is contained within the 

Report of the Directors. 

There are no schemes for retirement benefits for Non-executive Directors, other than superannuation. 

Board remuneration committee 

Once the Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company’s operations are of a sufficient magnitude, to 

assist the Board in fulfilling its duties, the Board will establish a Remuneration Committee. Until that time, the Board 

has adopted a Remuneration Committee Charter and will act in accordance with the Charter. The full Board will 

hold special meetings or sessions as required to review any matters of significance affecting the remuneration of 

the Board and employees of the Company. The Board are confident that this process is stringent and full details of 

remuneration  policies  and  payments  are  provided  to  shareholders  in  the  annual  report  and  on  the  web. 

Page 90 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Audit and risk committee 

Due to the increased activity undertaken by the Company and growth of its operations and financial affairs, the 
Board establish a separate Audit and Risk committee during the year. At the current time all Board members will 
sit on the committee, with Mr Graham Hardie appointed Chair. Their qualifications and experience can be found in 
the Remuneration Report. The Committee will assure the integrity of the financial statements by: 

a) 

reviewing  the  Company’s  statutory  financial  statements  to  ensure  the  reliability  of  the  financial 

information presented and compliance with current laws, relevant regulations and accounting standard; 

monitoring  compliance  of  the  accounting  records  and  procedures  in  conjunction  with  the  Company’s 

auditor,  on  matters  overseen  by  the  Australian  Securities  and  Investments  Commission,  ASX  and 

Australian Taxation Office; 

i. 

reviewing the Company’s statutory financial statements to ensure the reliability of the financial 

information presented and compliance with current laws, relevant regulations and accounting 

standards; 

ii.  monitoring  compliance  of  the  accounting  records  and  procedures  in  conjunction  with  the 

Company’s  auditor,  on  matters  overseen  by  the  Australian  Securities  and  Investments 

Commission, ASX and Australian Taxation Office; 

iii. 

ensuring that management reporting procedures, and the system of internal control, are of a 

sufficient standard to provide timely, accurate and relevant information as  a sound  basis  for 

management of the Group’s business; 

iv. 

v. 

reviewing audit reports and management letters to ensure prompt action is taken; 

when  required,  nominating  the  external  auditor  and  at  least  annually  review  the  external 

auditor  in  terms  of  their  independence  and  performance  in  relation  to  the  adequacy  of  the 

scope and quality of the annual statutory audit and half-year review and the fees charged. 

During the year the Audit and Risk Committee met twice. 

Risk oversight and management 

The  Audit  and  Risk  Committee  has  been  established  to  make  recommendations  to  the  Board  in  relation  to 

determining  the  Company’s  ‘risk  profile’  and  for  overseeing  and  implementing  risk  management  strategy  and 

policies, internal compliance and internal control systems. In summary, the  Committee will ensure the Company 

policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputation and financial risks are identified, assessed, 

effectively and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Company’s business objectives.  

The Company has exposure to economic risks, including general economy wide economic risks and risks associated 

with  the  economic  cycle  which  impact  on  the  price  and  demand  for  minerals  which  affects  the  sentiment  for 

investment in exploration companies. 

There  will  be  a  requirement  in  the  future  for  the  Company  to  raise  additional  funding  to  pursue  its  business 

objectives. The Company’s ability to raise capital may be affected by these economic risks. 

The  Company  has  in  place  risk  management  procedures  and  processes  to  identify,  manage  and  minimise  its 

exposure to these economic risks where appropriate.  

The  operations  and  proposed  activities  of  the  Company  are  subject  to  State  and  Federal  laws  and  regulations 

concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are 

expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceed. 

It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including 

compliance with all environmental laws. 

The Audit and Risk Committee currently considers that the Company does not have any material exposure to social 

sustainability risk. 

Page 91 

 
 
 
 
 
The Company’s Corporate Code of Conduct outlines the Company’s commitment to integrity and fair dealing in its 

business affairs and to a duty of care to all employees, clients and stakeholders. The code sets out the principles 

covering appropriate conduct in a variety of contexts and outlines the minimum standard of behaviour expected 

from employees when dealing with stakeholders. 

The Committee reviewed the Risk Management Framework, including the policies, procedures and the Company’s 

Risks during the reporting period. 

A summary of Peel Mining Limited’s Risk Management review procedures can be found in the corporate governance 

information section of the Company website at www.peelmining.com.au. 

Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. The  Board actively promotes a 

culture of quality and integrity. Control procedures cover management accounting, financial reporting, compliance 

and other risk management issues. 

No internal audit function is currently in place due to the size of the Company; however the Committee regularly 

assesses  the  need  for  an  internal  audit  function.  The  Board  encourages  management  accountability  for  the 

Company’s financial reports by ensuring ongoing financial reporting during the year to the Board. Half yearly, the 

Chief Financial Officer (or equivalent) and the Managing Director are required to state in writing to the Board that 

in all material respects: 

Declaration required under s295A of the Corporations Act 2001 – 

 

 

 

 

the financial records of the Company for the financial period have been properly maintained; 

the financial statements and notes comply with the accounting standards;  

the financial statements and notes for the financial year give a true and fair view; and 

any  other  matters  that  are  prescribed  by  the  Corporations  Act  regulations  as  they  relate  to  the  financial 

statements and notes for the financial year are satisfied. 

Additional declaration required as part of corporate governance – 

 

the risk management and internal compliance and control systems in relation to financial risks are sound, 

appropriate and operating efficiently and effectively. 

These declarations were received for the June 2022 financial year.
