Alaska Range Project 

Overview 

The  Alaska  Range  Project  comprises  a  contiguous  package  covering  262km2  with  ~35km  strike  length  hosting  extensive 
copper- and gold-in-soil anomalism consistent with several mineralised districts (Figure 1). 

Previous  campaigns  by  PolarX  focussed  on  resource  delineation  drilling  at  the  high-grade  Caribou  Dome  VMS  copper 
deposit (2.8Mt @ 3.1% Cu) and the high-grade Zackly Au-Cu-Ag skarn deposit (3.4Mt @ 2.0g/t Au, 1.2% Cu and 14.0g/t Ag) 
(refer Table 1).   

Both  deposits  remain open  at  depth  and  along strike  and  are  expected  to  increase in size  with  further drilling.    A maiden 
mineral resource estimate for the Caribou Dome deposit was announced in April 2017 (Table 1).  A maiden JORC Inferred 
Resource estimate for the Zackly Deposit was announced in March 2018 (“Zackly Resource”) (refer Table 1).  None of the 
successful new discoveries outside those resources have yet been incorporated into these estimates.

Scoping Study assessing Mining Potential 

In conjunction with the 2021 drilling program at Caribou Dome (refer Stellar Project Exploration Program and Caribou Dome 
Project sections further below), the Company has commenced a scoping study to evaluate combined mining and processing 
of Zackly East, Caribou Dome and Zackly Main mineralisation.  This will help determine a minimum resource size required 
for a viable project and to assess whether the Caribou Dome Deposit can be mined on a campaign basis and processed at 
Zackly.  As part of this study, a metallurgical test work program is underway to evaluate processing options for the Zackly 
mineralisation and the potential for co-processing with Caribou Dome mineralisation including: 

•  Initial work to evaluate gravity-recovery of coarse gold in the Zackly mineralisation. 
•  Evaluating subsequent flotation of the gravity circuit residue to recover copper sulphides, silver and any remaining gold. 
•  Comparing the above dual processing flow sheet recoveries with a single phase of flotation only. 
•  Comparing  the  above  results  with  early  Caribou  Dome  flotation  results  to  evaluate  co-processing  or  batch  processing 

options.

Porphyry Targets 

The  regional  geological  setting,  presence  of  large  copper  anomalies  in  soil  sampling,  and  the  occurrence  of  skarn 
mineralisation at Zackly strongly support the potential for major porphyry Cu-Au deposits in the Stellar Project. 

Porphyry  Cu-Au  mineralisation  was  discovered  by  PolarX  in  the  first  ever  drill  hole  at  the  Mars  prospect  in  2019,  which 
intersected 102m  @  0.22%  Cu  and  0.1g/t  Au  in potassic alteration  directly  below  a 1200m  x 800m  Cu-Mo-Au-As  surface 
geochemical anomaly.  This drill hole prematurely ended in mineralisation due to drill rig failure and warrants further drilling 
to extend and follow-up on this discovery. 

Further  drilling is  also  warranted  at  the  Saturn porphyry  target,  with less advanced but  highly  compelling  porphyry  targets 
also noted at Jupiter and Gemini. 

The  Company  is  in  active  discussions  with  potential earn-in  JV  partners  to  fund  a  large porphyry  exploration  program  but 
has been hampered by COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Stellar Project Exploration Program 

The FY2021 core drilling program commenced in July 2020 and focussed on the Zackly East mineralisation to the east of 
the  discovery  holes  which  previously  intersected  55m  @  2.8g/t  gold  and  0.6%  copper  (hole  ZX18020)  and  47m  @  3.1g/t 
gold and 0.6% copper (ZX18024) in FY2020 (see Figure 2 for location).

Thickness of mineralisation reported is down-hole thickness. There is currently insufficient interpretation of the mineralisation 
to confidently report “true widths”. It is however noted that mineralised lenses appear to dip obliquely to the drill holes, and 
as such it is probable that “true widths” will be less than the down-hole width.

Figure  3.  Un-tested  targets  at  Zackly  East,  including  structures  along  strong  magnetic  gradients,  and  a  new  porphyry  target 
(magnetic “eye”) to the north and east of drilling 

The  Company  is  compiling  all  available  drilling  data,  surface  geochemical  sampling,  geophysical  surveying  and  spectral 
analysis into a detailed 3D model which will be used to formulate the next drilling program at Zackly.  Over 2.6km of strike-
length remains untested at Zackly East (Figure 3), and Zackly Main remains open at depth and down-plunge to the north.  

In  addition  to  the  Zackly  skarn  mineralisation,  ultra-high-resolution  magnetic  data  acquired  in  2020  has  highlighted  a 
potential porphyry target to the north and east of current drilling, in which a magnetic high is surrounded by a magnetic low, 
producing an “eye” structure consistent with geophysical models of porphyry style mineralisation (Figure 3).  This target has 
never been drilled and is a high priority for follow-up. 

Caribou Dome Project 

During FY2021 the Company secured more favourable amendments to the terms of its right to acquire the Caribou Dome 
Project (refer details in Note 17 to the financial statements), which comprises  

(i)  an 80% interest in the Caribou Dome copper deposit, and  
(ii)  a 90% interest in the adjacent Senator property. 

The Company is currently undertaking a 1,500m core drilling program at the Caribou Dome Project, intended to: 

1. 

Test three newly developed exploration targets each of which has the potential to host one or more massive sulphide 
lenses. 

2.  Provide  high-grade  copper  sulphide  samples  for  metallurgical  testing  to  determine  potential  co-processing  options 

with copper mineralisation from PolarX’s 100% owned neighbouring high-grade Zackly copper-gold project. 

PolarX has to date completed four initial holes, providing samples of copper mineralisation for metallurgical test work.  The 
holes  were  drilled  into  zones  of  copper  mineralisation  hosted  in  massive  to  semi-massive  sulphides  as  predicted  by  the 
resource block model used for resource estimation in April 2017.  

Historical drilling used to estimate the maiden mineral resource estimate (2.8Mt @ 3.1% Cu, refer Table 1 and see Figure 4 
below) indicate a very high probability that these fresh holes will contain significant grades of copper.  Assays are in process 
at the date of this report.

Figure 4. showing 3D mineral resource estimate model and a cross-section at Caribou Dome  

Copper mineralisation at Caribou Dome occurs in nine currently known lenses of massive sulphide mineralisation.  Previous 
exploration  revealed  these  lenses  show  strong copper  anomalism in  surface  soil  sample  assays  and  can  also  be  broadly 
mapped/predicted using induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveys, displaying chargeability highs. 

Following  completion  of  the  initial  4  holes,  drilling  is  now  currently  testing  three  newly  defined  targets,  all  less  than  500m 
from known mineralisation, and all showing surface copper anomalism and coincident 3D IP chargeability highs (Figures 5 
and 6).  Each target therefore has high potential to host one or more zones of mineralisation.

HUMBOLDT RANGE PROJECT 

Overview 

During FY2021 the Company secured and subsequently exercised an option to acquire a Mine Lease Agreement (“MLA”) 
over the highly prospective Humboldt Range Gold-Silver Project in Nevada, USA (“Humboldt Range Project”).  

The Humboldt Range Project currently comprises 318 lode mining claims in Nevada in two claim groups: Black Canyon and 
Fourth of July and is situated between two large-scale active mines: the Florida Canyon gold mine and the Rochester silver-
gold mine (see Figures 7, 8 and 9). 

Access to the project is straightforward via roads off the I-80 Interstate Highway, which lies less than 15km to the west of the 
claims. 

Humboldt  Range  contains  geology  consistent  with  both  bonanza-style  gold-silver  mineralisation  and  bulk  mineable  gold-
silver mineralisation, each of which are well known in Nevada.   

Widespread narrow vein mineralisation with visible gold occurs within the claims and was historically mined via numerous 
adits and underground workings between 1865 and the 1927.  Mineralisation occurs in swarms of high-grade quartz veins of 
varying  thickness  (reported  from  1cm  to  3m),  either  as  isolated  veins  or  as  broad  zones  of  sheeted/anastomosing  veins 
within zones of intensely altered and mineralised host rocks. 

PolarX’s fieldwork completed at the Humboldt Range Project in FY2021 included: 

• 

Integration  of  data  collected  by  Renaissance  Exploration  Inc  in  2015/16  into  the  PolarX  database,  including  data 
related  to  vein  sampling,  soil  sampling  and  geological  mapping  in  the  central  part  of  the  Fourth  of  July  claims.  
These data were validated via assessment of assay certificates and field notes accompanying the sampling. 

•  Geological  mapping  over  the  entire  claim  block  incorporating  data  from  previous  mapping  by  Renaissance 

Exploration Inc., Victoria Gold Corp, and the US Geological Survey. 

•  Systematic soil sampling on a notional 200m x 50m grid, was completed over the entire project with approximately 

2200 soil samples and 150 rock chip samples collected and submitted for assay. 

•  Ultra-high-resolution drone orthophotography and digital terrain mapping for use as 3-D base maps was collected 

over the entire project.

FY2021 Exploration Program  

Fourth of July 

Fourth  of  July  is  characterised  by  an  abundance  of  silver  anomalism  prevalent  over  significant  gold  anomalism.    This  is 
broadly consistent with the nearby Rochester silver Mine’s 400M oz silver and 3M oz gold.  

Soil sampling on an E-W 200m x 50m grid was completed in the last quarter of FY2021, covering most the Fourth of July 
claims in the Humboldt Range Project (Figures 10 and 11).  Assay results highlight large, coherent anomalies for both silver 
and gold, with key highlights being: 

• 

The largest silver anomaly is broadly defined as >0.5g/t silver in soils and is over 3.5km long, up to 2km wide and 
with a peak value of 186g/t silver. 

•  Multiple  rock-chip  samples collected  from veins  within  this very large  silver  anomaly assay  over  60g/t silver,  with 

eight samples > 1,000g/t and a peak value of 4,800g/t. 

•  Multiple gold in soil anomalies are also present, both associated with the large silver anomaly and in several stand-

alone anomalies associated with known veins or extensions of known structures, or newly defined targets. 

• 

Peak gold-in-soil anomalism is 413ppb gold, with anomalism >20ppb gold considered to be highly significant.

Review of Operations 

The prominent, large silver anomaly occurs in the south-west part of the claims (Figure 10), associated with two major N-S 
striking faults which form the Arizona Graben.   

The silver anomaly is over 3.5km long, up to 2km wide and has a peak value of 186g/t silver in the soils.  Rock chip samples 
from  quartz  veins  within  the  anomaly  show  high  to  very  high  levels  of  silver,  with  many  samples  containing  more  than 
1,000g/t  silver.  Very  limited  historical  RC  drilling  (7  holes  by  Renaissance  Exploration  Inc  in  2015)  was  ever  undertaken 
within this silver anomaly, which remains effectively untested. 

Figure 11.  Fourth of July - gridded image of gold in soil sampling overlain with rock-chip sample assays, labelled where >10g/t 
gold. 

Gold is also highly anomalous in the soil sampling in the Arizona Graben, particularly along the fault margins (Figure 11), 
also  with  strong  supporting  rock-chip  samples  from  veins,  with  several  samples  over  10g/t  gold,  including  a  maximum  of 
76.0g/t at the Cottonwood vein. 

There are also several other gold anomalies delineated in the soil samples. In some cases, these can be related to known 
veins and structures, but in other cases (for example, the extreme SE of the sampling grid), the gold anomalism represents 
new, previously undiscovered targets with no known surface expression (Figure 11).

Black Canyon 

Black  Canyon  is  characterised  by  high  grade  gold  anomalism  dominant  over  significant  silver  anomalism  and  is  situated 
within only 3km of the neighbouring Florida Canyon Gold mine which hosts 5M oz gold in a bulk-processing operation. 

Soil sampling on an E-W 200m x 50m grid was completed in the last quarter of FY2021 by PolarX, covering all the Black 
Canyon  claims  in  the  Humboldt  Range  Project.    Geological  mapping  and  rock-chip  sampling  of  quartz  veins  was  also 
undertaken, complementing previous sampling of this nature.  Assay results highlight very large, coherent gold anomalies 
with key highlights being: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Three significant gold anomalies greater than 50ppb gold in soils measure over 1.3km long (Figures 12 and 13). 

The  largest,  eastern  anomaly  measures  2.3km  by  0.8km  and  contains  up  to  793ppb  gold  in  the  soils  and  up  to 
43.8g/t gold and 86.1g/t silver in rock-chip sampling in extensive quartz veins within the soil anomaly. 

The western anomaly measures 1.3km x 0.3km and contains up to 245.9ppb gold in the soils.  At its northern end lies 
the Lois Vein system where several rock chip samples assayed over 100g/t gold, with a peak value of 512.7g/t gold 
in a 30cm wide quartz vein. 

The southern  anomaly  measures 1.4km  x 0.5km  with  a  peak  value  of  697.9ppb  gold in the soils and  up  to  4.49g/t 
gold in rock-chip samples associated with multiple narrow quartz veins.

Review of Operations 

The  Eastern anomaly  is  the largest soil anomaly and  measures  2,300m  long and  800m  wide.  This  anomaly  is  associated 
with outcropping mineralised quartz veins on a steep east facing slope which has never been previously sampled.  The vein 
system has been mapped over a length of at least 1,300m with veins samples from its southern end assaying 7.8g/t gold.  
Another vein 250m away returned an assay of 43.8g/t gold from a narrow quartz vein associated with old workings. 

Maximum gold-in-soil values of 793.1ppb and 782.1ppb occur in this anomaly.  The eastern part of the soil anomaly has no 
outcropping quartz veins but does contain minor historic workings.  Field validation of this entire anomaly will occur in mid-
September 2021 to plan specific drill targets. 

The western and southern soil anomalies each exceed 1,300m length and are between 300m and 500m wide. Key attributes 
of each are:

The geochemical soil sampling anomalies at the Humboldt Range Project coincide with mapped geological structures and 
known  mineralised  quartz  veins  but  have  also  highlighted  additional  areas  for  further  evaluation.    Field  evaluation  is  now 
underway to generate drill targets, with permitting for drilling to commence immediately thereafter.

Additional Disclosure 

The Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the ‘JORC Code’) sets 
out minimum standards, recommendations and guidelines for Public Reporting in Australasia of Exploration Results, Mineral 
Resources and Ore Reserves. The information contained in this report has been presented in accordance with the JORC 
Code. 

Information  in  this  report  relating  to  Exploration  results  is  based on information compiled  by  Dr  Frazer Tabeart  (a  director 
and shareholder of PolarX Limited), who is a member of The Australian Institute of Geoscientists.  Dr Tabeart has sufficient 
experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which 
he  is  undertaking  to  qualify  as  a  Competent  Person  under  the  2012  Edition  of  the  Australasian  Code  for  reporting  of 
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Dr Tabeart consents to the inclusion of the data in the form and 
context in which it appears. 

In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Company cautions that the massive sulphides pictured above are 
extremely fine grained, making visual recognition of copper sulphide species difficult.  Furthermore, the Company cautions 
that  visual  estimates  of  mineral  abundance  should  never  be  considered  a  proxy  or  substitute  for  laboratory  analysis.  
Laboratory assay results are required to determine the widths and grade of the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary 
geological logging.  The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical results become available. 

Previously Reported Results 

There is information in this report relating to 

the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Caribou Dome Deposit, which was previously announced on 5 April 2017;  
the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Zackly Deposit, which was previously announced on 20 March 2018; and

Other than as disclosed in those announcements, the Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data 
that materially affects the information included in the original market announcements, and that all material assumptions and 
technical  parameters  have  not  materially  changed.    The  Company  also  confirms  that  the  form  and  context  in  which  the 
Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcements.

Remuneration Policy 

In  the  absence  of  a  remuneration  committee,  the  Board  is  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing  compensation 
arrangements for the Directors and executives.  The key principles which apply in determining remuneration structure and 
levels are: 

• 

• 

• 

set competitive fixed remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre directors and executives; 

structure variable remuneration rewards to reflect the stage of development of the Company’s operations; and 

establish appropriate performance hurdles for variable executive remuneration. 

The  Board  undertakes  an  annual  review  of  remuneration  arrangements  and  may  seek  Independent  external  advice  if 
required but did not employ a remuneration consultant during the year ended 30 June 2021. 

The structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive remuneration is separate and distinct. 

Non-Executive Director Remuneration 

The Board seeks to set aggregate  remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain 
Directors of high calibre, whilst incurring costs that are acceptable to shareholders. 

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rule, the maximum aggregate remuneration that may 
be paid to Non-Executive Directors is currently set at $200,000 per annum.  The amount of aggregate remuneration and the 
manner  is  which  is  apportioned  is  reviewed  annually.    The  Board  considers  the  fees  paid  to  non-executive  directors  of 
comparable companies and external advice (if required), when undertaking the annual review process. 

Executive Director and Senior Manager Remuneration 

Remuneration consists of fixed and variable components (currently comprising a long-term incentive scheme). 

Fixed remuneration currently consists of cash remuneration.  Fixed remuneration levels are reviewed annually by the Board, 
taking into consideration past performance, time commitments, relevant market comparatives and the Company’s stage of 
development.  The Board has access to external advice if required. 

The  Board  determines  the  appropriate  form  and  levels  of  variable  remuneration  as  and  when  they  consider  rewards  are 
warranted.    Variable  remuneration  currently  consists  of  equity-based  incentives  (e.g.  share  options),  which  are  currently 
considered to be the most effective and appropriate form of long-term incentives given the Company’s financial resources 
and  stage  of  development.    The  objective  of  the  equity-based  incentives  is  to  link  the  variable  remuneration  to  the 
achievement of key operational targets and shareholder value creation.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 

1.  Corporate Information 

The financial report of PolarX Limited (PolarX or the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group) for the year 
ended  30  June  2021  was  authorised  for  issue  in  accordance  with  a  resolution  of  the  Directors  on  29  September 
2021. 

PolarX Limited is a public company limited by shares and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded on 
the Australian Securities Exchange. It is a “for profit” entity.   

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ report. 

2.  Going Concern 

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  the  going  concern  basis,  which  contemplates  continuity  of  normal 
business activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group incurred a loss from operations of $1,299,752 (2020: $8,894,450) and 
recorded net cash outflows of ($637,447) (2020: outflows of ($112,470)). At 30 June 2021, the Group had net current 
assets of $3,702,617 (2020: $4,406,987).  

The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it maintaining sufficient funds for its operations 
and commitments. The Directors continue to be focused on meeting the Group’s business objectives and is mindful of 
the  funding  requirements  to  meet  these  objectives.  The  Directors  consider  the  basis  of  going  concern  to  be 
appropriate for the following reasons: 

• 

• 

• 

the current cash balance of the Group relative to its fixed and discretionary commitments; 

given  the  Company’s  market  capitalisation  and  the  underlying  prospects  for  the  Group  to  raise  further 
funds from the capital markets; and  

the fact that subject to meeting certain minimum expenditure commitments, further exploration activities 
may be slowed or suspended as part of the management of the Group’s working capital. 

The Directors are confident that the Group can continue as a going concern and as such are of the opinion that the 
financial report has been appropriately prepared on a going concern basis.  However, should the Group be unable to 
raise further required financing, there is uncertainty which may cast doubt as to whether or not the Group will be able 
to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course 
of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements. 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded 
asset  amounts  nor  to  the  amounts  and  classification  of  liabilities  that  might  be  necessary  should  the  Group  not 
continue as a going concern.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Basis of Preparation 

The  financial  report  is  a  general-purpose  financial  report,  which  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements 
of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.  

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.   

(a)    Compliance Statement 

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board. 

(b)   New accounting standards and interpretations 

New and revised accounting requirement applicable to the current reporting period  

The  Group  has  considered  the  implications  of  new  and  amended  Accounting  Standards  which  have  become 
applicable for the current financial reporting period. 

(i) 

Initial adoption of AASB 2020-04: COVID-19-Related Rent Concession 

AASB 2020-4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions 
amends AASB 16 by providing a practical expedient that permits lessees to assess whether rent 
concessions that occur as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and, if certain conditions are 
met, account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. 

(ii) 

Initial adoption of AASB 2018-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business 

AASB 2018-6 amends and narrows the definition of a business specified in AASB 3: Business 
Combinations, simplifying the determination of whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business 
combination or an asset acquisition.  Entities may also perform a calculation and elect to treat certain 
acquisitions as acquisitions of assets. 

(iii)  Initial adoption of AASB 2018-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material 

This amendment principally amends AASB 101 and AASB 108 by refining the definition of material by 
improving the wording and aligning the definition across the standards issued by the AASB. 

(iv)  Initial adoption of AASB 2019-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate 

Benchmark 

This amendment amends specific hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from the potential effects 
of the uncertainty caused by interest rate benchmark reform. 

(v) 

Initial adoption of AASB 2019-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the 
Conceptual Framework 

This amendment amends Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other pronouncements to 
reflect the issuance of Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting by the AASB. 

The standards listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected 
to significantly affect the current or future periods. 

New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective 

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet 
mandatorily applicable to the Group have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The Board 
expects no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(c)  Basis of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the Company and all of its 
controlled entities. Controlled entities are entities the Company controls. The Company controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. A list of the controlled entities is provided in Note 10. 

The  assets,  liabilities  and  results  of  all  controlled  entities  are  fully  consolidated  into  the  financial  statements  of  the 
Group  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  obtained  by  the  Group.  The  consolidation  of  a  controlled  entity  is 
discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses 
on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of controlled entities 
have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted 
by the Group. 

Equity  interests  in  a  controlled  entity  not  attributable,  directly  or  indirectly,  to  the  Group  are  presented  as  “non-
controlling interests". The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in 
controlled entities and are entitled to a proportionate share of the controlled entity's net assets on liquidation at either 
fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the controlled entity's net assets. Subsequent to 
initial  recognition,  non-controlling  interests  are  attributed  their  share  of  profit  or  loss  and  each  component  of  other 
comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the consolidated 
statement of financial position and consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. 

(d) 

Income Tax 

Current  tax  assets  and  liabilities  for  the  current  and  prior  periods  are  measured  at  the  amount  expected  to  be 
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those 
that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date. 

Deferred income tax is provided for on all temporary differences at balance date between the tax base of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 

No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability, excluding a 
business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

No  deferred  income  tax  will  be  recognised  in  respect  of  temporary  differences  associated  with  investments  in 
subsidiaries  if  the  timing  of  the  reversal  of  the  temporary  difference  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  probable  that  the 
temporary differences will not reverse in the near future. 

Deferred  tax  is  calculated  at  the  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  apply  to  the  period  when  the  asset  is  realised  or 
liability  is  settled.    Deferred  tax  is  credited  to  Profit  or  Loss  except  where  it  relates  to  items  that  may  be  credited 
directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. 

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  future  tax  profits  will be  available  against  which 
deductible temporary differences can be utilised. 

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on tax rates (and tax laws) 
that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance date and the anticipation that the Group will derive 
sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility 
imposed  by  the  law.    The  carrying  amount  of  deferred  tax  assets  is  reviewed  at  each  balance  date  and  only 
recognised to the extent that sufficient future assessable income is expected to be obtained. 

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the Statement of profit 
or loss.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(e)  Financial Instruments 

Financial assets 

Initial recognition and measurement 

Financial assets are classified at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through 
other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. 

The  classification  of  financial  assets  at  initial  recognition  depends  on  the  financial  asset’s  contractual  cash  flow 
characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do 
not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group 
initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit 
or  loss,  transaction costs.  Trade  receivables  that  do  not  contain  a significant  financing component  or  for  which  the 
Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under AASB 15.  

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to 
give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. 
This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. 

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to 
generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash 
flows, selling the financial assets, or both. 

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or 
convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date (i.e., the date that the Group 
commits to purchase or sell the asset). 

Subsequent measurement 

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories: 

• 
• 
• 

• 

Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments) 
Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments) 
Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon 
derecognition (equity instruments) 
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes other receivables.  

Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments) 

The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: 

• 

• 

The  financial  asset  is  held  within  a  business  model  with  the  objective  to  hold  financial  assets  in  order  to 
collect contractual cash flows; and 
The  contractual  terms  of  the  financial  asset  give  rise  on  specified  dates  to  cash  flows  that  are  solely 
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. 

Financial assets at fair value through OCI (debt instruments) 

The Group measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met: 

• 

• 

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual 
cash flows and selling; and 
The  contractual  terms  of  the  financial  asset  give  rise  on  specified  dates  to  cash  flows  that  are  solely 
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. 

For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses 
or reversals are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets 
measured at amortised cost.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change 
recognised in OCI is recycled to profit or loss. 

Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI (equity instruments) 

Upon  initial  recognition,  the  Group  can  elect  to  classify  irrevocably  its  equity  investments  as  equity  instruments 
designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: 
Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis. 

Gains  and  losses  on  these  financial  assets  are  never  recycled  to  profit  or  loss.  Dividends  are  recognised  as  other 
income  in  the statement  of  profit  or  loss  when  the  right  of payment  has  been  established,  except  when  the  Group 
benefits  from  such  proceeds as a  recovery of part  of  the cost  of  the  financial asset,  in which  case, such gains  are 
recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  include  financial  assets  held  for  trading,  financial  assets 
designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be 
measured  at  fair  value.  Financial  assets  are  classified  as  held  for  trading  if  they  are  acquired  for  the  purpose  of 
selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as 
held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are 
not  solely  payments  of  principal  and  interest  are  classified  and  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss, 
irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortised cost 
or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or 
loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with 
net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss. 

This  category  includes  derivative  instruments  and  listed  equity  investments  which  the  Group  had  not  irrevocably 
elected  to  classify  at  fair  value  through  OCI.  Dividends  on  listed  equity  investments  are  also  recognised  as  other 
income in the statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established. 

A derivative embedded in a hybrid contract, with a financial liability or non-financial host, is separated from the host 
and  accounted  for  as a  separate  derivative  if:  the  economic  characteristics  and  risks  are  not  closely  related to  the 
host;  a  separate  instrument  with  the  same  terms  as  the  embedded  derivative  would  meet  the  definition  of  a 
derivative;  and  the  hybrid  contract  is  not  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  Embedded  derivatives  are 
measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Reassessment only occurs if there is 
either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required 
or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss category. 

A derivative embedded within a hybrid contract containing a financial asset host is not accounted for separately. The 
financial  asset  host  together  with  the  embedded  derivative  is  required  to  be  classified  in  its  entirety  as  a  financial 
asset at fair value through profit or loss. 

Derecognition 

A  financial  asset  (or,  where  applicable,  a  part  of  a  financial  asset  or  part  of  a  group  of  similar  financial  assets)  is 
primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when: 

• 

• 

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or 

The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to 
pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; 
and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group 
has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred 
control of the asset.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

When  the  Group  has  transferred  its  rights  to  receive  cash  flows  from  an  asset  or  has  entered  into  a  pass-through 
arrangement,  it  evaluates  if,  and  to  what  extent,  it  has  retained  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  When  it  has 
neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the 
asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, 
the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on 
a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained. 

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the 
original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to 
repay. 

Impairment of financial assets  

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value 
through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with 
the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original 
effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit 
enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. 

ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit 
risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 
the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in 
credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the 
exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). 

For  trade  receivables  and  contract  assets,  the  Group applies  a simplified  approach  in calculating  ECLs.  Therefore, 
the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at 
each  reporting  date.  The  Group  has  established  a  provision  matrix  that  is  based  on  its  historical  credit  loss 
experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. 

For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, the Group applies the low credit risk simplification. At every reporting 
date, the Group evaluates whether the debt instrument is considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and 
supportable  information  that  is  available  without  undue  cost  or  effort.  In  making  that  evaluation,  the  Group 
reassesses the internal credit rating of the debt instrument. In addition, the Group considers that there has been a 
significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. 

The  Group  considers  a  financial  asset  in  default  when  contractual  payments  are  90  days  past  due.  However,  in 
certain  cases,  the  Group  may  also consider  a  financial  asset  to  be  in  default  when  internal  or  external  information 
indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account 
any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation 
of recovering the contractual cash flows. 

Financial Liabilities 

Initial recognition and measurement 

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans 
and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. 

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net 
of directly attributable transaction costs. 

The  Group’s  financial  liabilities  include  trade  and  other  payables,  loans  and  borrowings  including  bank  overdrafts, 
and derivative financial instruments.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Subsequent measurement 

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below: 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities 
designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. 

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near 
term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated 
as  hedging  instruments  in  hedge  relationships  as  defined  by  AASB  9.  Separated  embedded  derivatives  are  also 
classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. 

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. 

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial 
date  of  recognition,  and  only  if  the  criteria  in  AASB  9  are  satisfied.  The  Group  has  not  designated  any  financial 
liability as at fair value through profit or loss. 

Loans and borrowings 

After  initial  recognition,  interest-bearing  loans  and  borrowings  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using 
the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Gains  and  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  when  the  liabilities  are 
derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process. 

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are 
an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included as finance costs in the 
statement of profit or loss. 

This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.  

Derecognition 

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When 
an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms 
of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of 
the  original  liability  and  the  recognition  of  a  new  liability.  The  difference  in  the  respective  carrying  amounts  is 
recognised in the statement of profit or loss. 

Offsetting of financial instruments 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of 
financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an 
intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. 

(f)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  in  the  Statement  of  Financial  Position  include  cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with 
banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts 
are  shown  as  current  liabilities  in  the  Statement  of  Financial  Position.  For  the  purpose  of  the  Statement  of  Cash 
Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as described above, net of outstanding bank 
overdrafts. 

(g)  Trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables generally have 30–90-day terms. Trade and other receivables are initially recognized at fair value 
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(h)  Property, plant and equipment 

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation 
and impairment losses. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the 
item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance expenditure is charged to Profit or Loss during the financial 
period in which it is incurred. 

Depreciation 

The depreciable amount of most of the fixed assets are depreciated on a diminishing balance method and some of 
the  fixed  assets  are  depreciated  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  their  useful  lives  to  the  Group  commencing  from  the 
time the asset is held ready for use. 

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset 

Depreciation Rate 

Plant and equipment   

10 % to 30% 

Motor Vehicles 

Computer Equipment

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. 

Derecognition 

Additions  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is  derecognised  upon  disposal  or  when  no  further  future  economic 
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount.  These gains and 
losses are recognised in the Profit or Loss.  

Impairment 

Carrying  values  of  plant  and  equipment  are  reviewed  at  each  balance  date  to  determine  whether  there  are  any 
objective indicators of impairment that may indicate the carrying values may be impaired. 

Where an asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent it is assigned to a cash generating unit 
and the recoverable amount test applied to the cash generating unit as a whole.   

Recoverable amount is determined as the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The assessment of 
value in use considers the present value of future cash flows discounted using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate 
reflecting the current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. If the carrying 
value of the asset is determined to be in excess of its recoverable amount, the asset or cash generating unit is written 
down to its recoverable amount. 

(i)  Exploration expenditure 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each area 
of interest.  Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure 
but  does  not include  general overheads  or  administrative  expenditure  not  having  a specific  nexus  with  a  particular 
area of interest.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Each  area  of  interest  is  limited  to  a  size  related  to  a  known  or  probable  mineral  resource  capable  of  supporting  a 
mining operation. 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure for each area of interest is carried forward as an asset provided that one of 
the following conditions is met: 

• 

• 

such  costs  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  successful  development  and  exploitation  of  the  area  of 
interest or, alternatively, by its sale; or 

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

Expenditure which fails to meet the conditions outlined above is written off, furthermore, the directors regularly review 
the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure and make write downs if the values are not expected to 
be recoverable. 

Identifiable  exploration  assets  acquired  are  recognised  as  assets  at  their  cost  of  acquisition,  as  determined  by  the 
requirements  of  AASB  6  Exploration  for  and  Evaluation  of  Mineral  Resources.  Exploration  assets  acquired  are 
reassessed  on  a  regular  basis  and  these  costs  are  carried  forward  provided  that  at  least  one  of  the  conditions 
referred to in AASB 6 is met. 

Exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  incurred  subsequent  to  acquisition  in  respect  of  an  exploration  asset 
acquired, is accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above for exploration expenditure incurred by or on 
behalf of the entity. 

Acquired exploration assets are not written down below acquisition cost until such time as the acquisition cost is not 
expected to be recovered. 

When an area of interest is abandoned, any expenditure carried forward in respect of that area is written off. 

Expenditure  is  not  carried  forward  in  respect  of  any  area  of  interest/mineral  resource  unless  the  Group’s  rights  of 
tenure to that area of interest are current. 

(j) 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such 
indication  exists,  or  when  annual  impairment  testing  for  an  asset  is  required,  the  Group  makes  an  estimate  of  the 
asset’s  recoverable  amount.  An  asset’s  recoverable  amount  is  the  higher  of  its  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  its 
value  in  use  and  is  determined  for  an  individual  asset,  unless  the  asset  does  not  generate  cash  inflows  that  are 
largely  independent  of  those  from  other  assets  or  categories  of  assets  and  the  asset's  value  in  use  cannot  be 
estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating 
unit  to  which  it  belongs.  When  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  or  cash-generating  unit  exceeds  its  recoverable 
amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. 

In  assessing  value  in  use,  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  are  discounted  to  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax 
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. 
Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the 
function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is 
treated as a revaluation decrease). 

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised 
impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is 
estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used 
to  determine  the  asset’s  recoverable  amount  since  the last  impairment  loss  was  recognised.  If  that  is  the  case the 
carrying  amount  of  the  asset  is  increased  to  its  recoverable  amount.  That  increased  amount  cannot  exceed  the 
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for

the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in 
which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. 

After  such  a  reversal  the  depreciation  charge  is  adjusted  in  future  periods  to  allocate  the  asset’s  revised  carrying 
amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. 

(k) 

Trade and other payables 

Liabilities  for  trade  creditors  and  other  amounts  are  measured  at  amortised  cost,  which  is  the  fair  value  of  the 
consideration  to  be  paid  in  the  future  for  goods  and  services  received  that  are  unpaid, whether or  not  billed  to  the 
Group. 

(l) 

Contributed equity 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options 
are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue 
of new shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the 
purchase consideration. 

(m)  Revenue 

Revenue is recognised when a performance obligation in the contract with a customer is satisfied or when the control 
of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. 

Interest income 

Income  is  recognised  as  the  interest  accrues  (using  the  effective  interest  method,  which  is  the  rate  that  exactly 
discounts  estimated  future  cash  receipts  through  the  expected  life  of  the  financial  instrument)  to  the  net  carrying 
amount of the financial asset. 

(n)  Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any 
costs of servicing equity other than dividends, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any 
bonus elements. 

Diluted earnings per share 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group, adjusted for: 

• 

• 

• 

costs of servicing equity (other than dividends); 

the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been 
recognised as expenses; and 

other  non-discretionary  changes  in  revenues  or  expenses  during  the  period  that  would  result  from  the 
dilution of potential ordinary shares; 

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any 
bonus elements.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(o)  Share based payment transactions 

The  Group  provides  benefits  to  individuals and  entities,  in  the  form  of  share  based  payment transactions,  whereby 
the recipients render services in exchange for shares or options (Equity Settled Transactions). 

There is currently an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) in place, which provides benefits to Directors and other 
eligible persons, including consultants who provide services similar to those provided by an employee.  The Company 
may also issue options or shares outside of the ESOP to consultants and other service providers.   

The cost of these equity settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are 
granted. The fair value of options is determined by using the Black Scholes formula taking into account the terms and 
conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in Note 24. 

In valuing equity settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked 
to the price of the Company’s shares (‘market conditions’). 

The cost of the equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the 
period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become 
fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). 

The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) 
the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of 
the  group,  will  ultimately  vest.  This  opinion  is  formed  based  on  the  best  available  information  at  balance  date.  No 
adjustment  is  made  for  the  likelihood  of  the  market  performance  conditions  being  met  as  the  effect  of  these 
conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The profit or loss charge or credit for a period 
represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised at the beginning and end of the period. 

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon 
a market condition. 

Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had 
not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of 
the modification, as measured at the date of the modification. 

Where an equity settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of the cancellation, and any 
expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the 
cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award 
are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.  

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected in the computation of loss per share (see Note 19). 

(p)  Goods and Services Tax 

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  GST,  except  where  the  amount  of  GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of 
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement 
of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.  

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Tax Office is included as part of receivables 
or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  in  the  Statement  of  Cash  Flows  on  a  gross  basis,  except  for  the  GST  component  of 
investing and financing  activities,  which  is  receivable from  or  payable  to  the  ATO,  are  disclosed as  operating cash 
flows.

(q)  Investments in controlled entities 

All  investments  are  initially  recognised  at  cost,  being  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  given  and  including 
acquisition charges associated with the investment. Subsequent to the initial measurement, investments in controlled 
entities are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 

(r) 

 Foreign currency translation 

Functional and presentation currency  

Items  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  each  entity  within  the  Group  are  measured  using  the  currency  of  the 
primary  economic  environment  in  which  the  entity  operates  (‘the  functional  currency’).    The  functional  and 
presentation currency of PolarX Limited is Australian dollars.  

Transactions and balances 

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

Group entities 

The  results  and  financial  position  of  all  the  Group  entities  (none  of  which  has  the  currency  of  a  hyperinflationary 
economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation 
currency as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position; 

income  and  expenses  are  translated  at  average  exchange  rates  (unless  this  is  not  a  reasonable 
approximation  of  the  rates  prevailing  on  the  transaction  dates,  in  which  case  income  and  expenses  are 
translated at the dates of the transactions);  

retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at date of transaction; and 

all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. 

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of 
borrowings  and  other  financial  instruments  designated  as  hedges  of  such  investments,  are  taken  to  shareholders’ 
equity.  When a foreign operation is sold the exchange differences relating to that entity are recognised in the profit or 
loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable. 

(s)  Leases 

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-
of-use  asset  and  a  corresponding  liability  are  recognised  by  the  Group  where  the  Group  is  a  lessee.  However,  all 
contracts that are classified as short-term leases (i.e. leases with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and 
leases  of  low-value  assets  are  recognised  as  an  operating  expense  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  term  of  the 
lease.  

Initially,  the  lease  liability  is  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  lease  payments  still  to  be  paid  at  the 
commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot 
be readily determined, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 

 
 
 
 
 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

fixed lease payments less any lease incentives; 

variable  lease  payments  that  depend  on  index  or  rate,  initially  measured  using  the  index  or  rate  at  the 
commencement date; 

the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; 

the exercise price of purchase options if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; 

lease payments under extension options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and  

payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of options to terminate 
the lease. 

The  right-of-use  asses  comprise  the  initial  measurement  of  the  corresponding  lease  liability,  any  lease  payments 
made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-
use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.  

Right-of-use  assets  are  depreciated  over  the  lease  term  or  useful  life  of  the  underlying  asset,  whichever  is  the 
shortest.  

Where  a  lease  transfers  ownership  of  the  underlying  asset  or  the  costs  of  the  right-of-use  asset  reflects  that  the 
Group  anticipates  to  exercise  a  purchase  option,  the  specific  asset  is  depreciated  over  the  useful  life  of  the 
underlying asset. 

(t)  Segment reporting 

Operating  segments  are  reported  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the internal  reporting  provided  to  the chief  operating 
decision  maker.  The  chief  operating  decision  maker,  who  is  responsible  for  allocating  resources  and  assessing 
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of PolarX Limited. 

(u)  Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a 
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 

Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the 
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.  The expense 
relating to any provision is presented in the profit or loss net of any reimbursement. 

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash 
flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money, and where appropriate, 
the risks specific to the liability. 

Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

4.  Critical accounting estimates and judgments 

Estimates  and  judgements  are  continually  evaluated  and  are  based  on  historical  experience  and  other  factors, 
including  expectations  of  future  events  that  may  have  a  financial  impact  on  the  entity  and  that  are  believed  to  be 
reasonable under the circumstances. 

The  Group  makes  estimates  and  assumptions  concerning  the  future.  The  resulting  accounting  estimates  will,  by 
definition,  seldom  equal  the  related  actual  results.  The  estimates  and  assumptions  that  have  a  significant  risk  of 
causing  a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  within  the  next  financial  year  are 
discussed below. 

Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure 

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, 
including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the 
related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. 

Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the size and composition of any future mineral resource 
and ore reserve estimates, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes 
(including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices. 

To  the  extent  that  capitalised  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  is  determined  not  to  be  recoverable  in  the 
future, this will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made. 

In  addition,  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  is  capitalised  if  activities  in  the  area  of  interest  have  not  yet 
reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable 
reserves.  To the extent that it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, this 
will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made. 

Share based payment transactions 

The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at 
the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options is determined by using the Black Scholes formula taking 
into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in Note 24. 

Functional currency translation reserve 

Under the Accounting Standards, each entity within the Group is required to determine its functional currency, which 
is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Management considers the United 
States  subsidiary  to  be  a  foreign  operation  with  United  States  dollars  as  the  functional  currency.  In  arriving  at  this 
determination, management has given priority to the currency that influences the labour, materials and other costs of 
exploration activities as they consider this to be a primary indicator of the functional currency.

5.  Acquisition Terms 

On 31 January 2021, the Company announced that it had secured an option with Armada Mining Inc. (“Armada”) to 
acquire  a  Mining  Lease  Agreement  over  the  Humboldt  Range  Gold-Silver  Project  in  Nevada,  USA  (“Humboldt 
Option”), which comprised 177 lode mining claims.   

PolarX  paid  an  initial  fee  of  US$35,000  to  secure  the  Humboldt  Option  for up  to  120-days  while  it conducted  due-
diligence  investigations  to  further  verify  previous  exploration  results  and  confirm  ownership  of  the  underlying  lode 
claims.    On  31  March  2021,  the  Company  exercised  the  Option  (“Humboldt  Transaction”)  by  payment  of  a  further 
US$35,000 cash and issuing 5,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (escrowed for 2-years) with a fair value of $150,000 
to Armada.  Refer to Note 17 for Commitments related to the Humboldt Range Project. 

The  Company  accounted  for  the  Humboldt  Transaction  as  an  asset  acquisition  and  identified  and  recognized  the 
individual  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed.  The  purchase  price  was  allocated  to  the  individual 
identifiable  asset  acquired,  the  Humboldt  Project  on  the  basis  of  its  relative  fair  value  at  the  date  of  acquisition. 
Consideration  for  the  Humboldt  Transaction  of  $240,047  and  transaction  costs  of  $12,964,  were  capitalised  as 
exploration and evaluation assets.

income tax payable by PolarX arising in respect of their activities.  The reimbursements are payable at the same 
time  as  the  associated  income  tax  liability  falls  due  and  will  therefore  be  recognised  as  a  current  tax-related 
receivable by PolarX when they arise. In the opinion of the Directors, the tax sharing agreement is also a valid 
agreement  under  the  tax  consolidation  legislation  and  limits  the  joint  and  several  liability  of  the  Controlled 
Entities in the case of a default by PolarX. 

(e)   Change in Corporate Tax Rate 

There has been a legislated change in the corporate tax rate that will apply to future income years. The impact 
of this reduction in the corporate tax rate has been reflected in the unrecognised deferred tax positions and the 
prima face income tax reconciliation above.

The  Directors’  assessment  of  the  carrying  amount  for  the  Group’s  exploration  and  development  assets  was  made 
after consideration of (i) prevailing market conditions, including the Company’s market capitalisation and metal prices; 
(ii) the level of previous expenditure undertaken and the results from those programs; and (iii) the potential for future 
development, noting the current mineral resource estimates for both the Caribou Dome, Stellar and Humboldt Range 
projects.  The  recoverability  of  the  carrying  amount  of  the  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  is  dependent  on 
successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively the sale, of the respective areas of interest.  It 
was determined the carrying amount of the project generative costs were not recoverable for the year ended 30 June 
2020 and therefore an impairment charge was recorded.

18.  Subsequent events 

On 28 July 2021, 5,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.05 with a three-year expiry were issued as part consideration 
for technical consulting services. 

On 20 September 2021, the Group received a third-party complaint from GAME in relation to the alleged breach of 
the  underlying  option  agreement  over  the  non-core  Uncle  Sam  Gold  Project.    Pursuant  to  the  complaint  GAME  is 
seeking, inter alia, to recover alleged payments to the Group totaling US$174,550.  Further details are disclosed in 
Note 28 to the financial statements.  

No other significant events have occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the date of this report 
that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

There is no impact from the 3,000,000 options vested and outstanding at 30 June 2021 (2020: 400,000 options) on 
the loss per share calculation because they are anti-dilutive. These options could potentially dilute basic EPS in the 
future.

22.  Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management 

Exposure to  interest  rate,  liquidity  and  credit  risk arises  in the  normal  course  of  the  Group’s business.    The  Group 
does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments.   

The  Group  uses  different  methods  as  discussed  below  to  manage  risks  that  arise  from  financial  instruments.  The 
objective is to support the delivery of the financial targets while protecting future financial security. 

(a)  Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  Group  will  encounter  difficulty  in  meeting  obligations  associated  with  financial 
liabilities. 

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash facilities to meet the operating requirements of the 
business  and  investing  excess  funds  in  highly  liquid  short  term  investments.  The  responsibility  for  liquidity  risk 
management rests with the Board of Directors. 

$Alternatives  for  sourcing  our  future  capital  needs  include  our  cash  position  and  the  issue  of  equity  instruments. 
These alternatives are evaluated to determine the optimal mix of capital resources for our capital needs. We expect 
that, absent a material adverse change in a combination of our sources of liquidity, present levels of liquidity will be 
adequate to meet our expected capital needs. 

Maturity analysis for financial liabilities 

Financial  liabilities  of  the  Group  comprise  trade  and  other  payables.  As  at  30  June  2021  and  30  June  2020,  all 
financial liabilities contractually matured within 60 days. 

(b) 

Interest Rate Risk 

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value 
of financial instruments. 

The  Group’s  exposure  to  market  risk  for  changes  to  interest  rate  risk  relates  primarily  to  its  earnings  on  cash  and 
term deposits. The Group manages the risk by investing in short term deposits.

(41,791) 

A sensitivity of 100 basis points has been used as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short 
term and long term interest rates. The change in basis points is derived from a review of historical movements and 
management’s judgement of future trends. The analysis was performed on the same basis in 2020. 

(c)  Credit Risk Exposures 

Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and 
cause  the  Group  to  incur  a  financial  loss.  The  Group’s  maximum  credit  exposure  is  the  carrying  amounts  on  the 
statement of financial position. The Group holds financial instruments with credit worthy third parties.   

At 30 June 2021, the Group held cash deposits.  Cash deposits were held with financial institutions with a rating from 
Standard  &  Poors of  A  or  above  (long  term).  The  Group  has  no  past  due or  impaired debtors  as  at 30 June  2021 
(2020: Nil).  

(d)  Foreign Currency Risk Exposure 

As a result of operations in the USA and expenditure in US dollars, the Group’s statement of financial position can be 
affected  by  movements  in  the  USD$/AUD$  exchange  rates.  The  Group  seeks  to  mitigate  the  effect  of  its  foreign 
currency exposure by holding cash in US dollars to match expenditure commitments.   

Sensitivity analysis: 

The  table  below  summarises  the  foreign  exchange  exposure  on  the  net  monetary  position  of  parent  and  the 
subsidiaries against its respective functional currency, expressed in group’s presentation currency. If the AUD/ USD 
rates moved by +10%, the effect on comprehensive loss would be as follows: 

Loan to subsidiary – Humboldt Range Inc. (in AUD) 

Loan to subsidiary – Aldevco Pty Ltd and Aldevco Inc. (in AUD) 

Loan to subsidiary – Vista Minerals Pty Ltd and Vista Minerals (Alaska) Inc. (in

(b)   Share based payments 

The  Company  makes  share  based  payments  in  the  form  of  Shares  and  options,  to  directors,  executives  and 
employees as part of their remuneration and to consultants and advisers for their services.   

The  Company  has  a  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan  (“Plan”)  in  place,  which  provides  benefits  to  Directors  and  other 
eligible persons, including consultants who provide services similar to those provided by an employee.  The Company 
may  also  issue  options  or  shares  outside  of  the  Plan  to  consultants  and  other  service  providers  (collectively  “the 
Options”).  The  objective  of  the  Options  is  to  assist  in  the  recruitment,  reward,  retention  and  motivation  of  the 
recipients and/or reduce the level of remuneration or consideration that would otherwise be paid to the recipient.

the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share and the risk free interest rate for the term 
of the Option.

25.  Contingent Liabilities 

The  Company  has  a  contingent  liability  arising  from  the  termination  of  a  drilling  contract  in  Paraguay  in  2008, 
subsequent to which Arbitration proceedings were commenced by the drilling contractor. 

In August 2016, the Company received notice of the Arbitration Tribunal’s determination.  Based on its review of the 
Tribunal’s  judgement  and  advice  from  its  Paraguayan  legal  counsel,  the  Company  assessed  the  quantum  of 
damages that may be payable by it to be approximately US$40,000 plus interest.  Subsequently on 7 March 2018, 
the Company received notice that the plaintiff was seeking a Paraguayan judicial order for the enforcement of an 
arbitration award against the Company in the amount of US$123,853.   

Subject to receiving a Paraguayan court order for execution of the Tribunal’s judgement, the Company intends to 
defend any attempt to enforce the order in Australia. As at the date of this report the Company has not received 
notice of a court order having been issued for the execution of the Tribunal’s judgement.  No provision for a liability 
was recognised as at 30 June 2021. 

Refer also to Notes 17 for the contingent payments and royalties applicable to the Caribou Dome, Stellar, Humboldt 
Range and Uncle Sam properties. 

26.  Operating Segment  

For  management  purposes,  the  Group  is  organised  into  one  main  operating  segment,  which  involves  mineral 
exploration,  predominantly  for  gold,  copper  and  silver.  All  of  the  Group’s  activities  are  interrelated,  and  discrete 
financial information is reported to the Board (Chief Operating Decision Makers) as a single segment. Accordingly, 
all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from 
this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole. The Group currently operates in 
Australia and the USA.  The following table shows the assets and liabilities of the Group by geographic region:

27.  Dividends 

No dividend was paid or declared by the Company in the period since the end of the financial year and up to the 
date of this report.  The Directors do not recommend that any amount be paid by way of dividend for the financial 
year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: Nil). The balance of the franking account as at 30 June 2021 is Nil (2020: Nil). 

28.  Agreements over the Uncle Sam Gold Project 

In July 2015, the Company entered into a mineral lease and purchase agreement (Option Agreement) with Great 
American Minerals Exploration Inc. (GAME), pursuant to which GAME agreed to lease the Uncle Sam Project for 
10 years with an option to purchase the property outright at any time during the lease period.  Subject to exercise of 
the purchase option, GAME would assume liability for all royalty obligations on the project. 

During the 2018 financial year, the Company received noticed from the Department of Natural Resources (State of 
Alaska) that the mineral claims which comprise the Uncle Sam Gold Project had been declared abandoned (DNR 
Notice).  The basis for the decision was an error on the affidavit of labour filed by the previous tenement owner in 
2011.  As a result, GAME has sought to terminate the Option Agreement. 

Following a review of its options in relation to this matter, PolarX and its US subsidiary which previously held an 
interest in the Uncle Sam Project, have entered into an agreement with the underlying royalty holder, International 
Royalty Corporation (“IRC”), pursuant to which: 

(i) 

(ii) 

they have assigned to IRC its rights, titles, and interests (if any) in the Uncle Sam Project (including its rights 
as against GAME); 

they  have granted  the  Group a  full  release  from any  causes  of  action, claims, or  damages  that  IRC  could 
assert against PolarX or its US subsidiary; and 

(iii) 

IRC has the right to convey the claims back to PolarX’s US subsidiary, if it is successful in any court action 
to recover the mineral claims from GAME. 

As  at  the  date  this  report  the  Company  advises  that  IRC  has  commenced  legal  proceedings  against  GAME, 
seeking to recover the Uncle Sam Project from GAME.  In response, GAME has filed a third-party complaint, which 
was  served  on  the  Company  on  20  September  2021  (“GAME  Complaint”).    Pursuant  to  the  GAME  Complaint, 
GAME  alleges  that  the  Company  and  its  subsidiary,  Crescent  Resources  (USA)  Inc.  (“Crescent”),  breached  the 
underlying  option  agreement  and  is  seeking,  inter  alia,  to  recover  alleged  payments  to  the  Company  totaling 
US$174,550.  In response, the Company notes as follows: 

(i) 

(ii) 

the  Company does  not  believe  that  there  any  grounds  to  the  GAME  Complaint  against  the  Company  and 
Crescent; 

IRC intends to defend the GAME Complaint on behalf of the Company and Crescent (refer further Note 28 to 
the financial statements) and the Company believes that IRC will be successful in its original action against 
GAME; and 

(iii) 

in any event, the Company only received payments totaling US$90,000 from GAME. 

The Company also notes that the Uncle Sam Project: 

- 

- 

is considered a non-core asset and has a $nil carrying value in the Company’s financial statements; and 

is independent of the Company’s other projects in the USA.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
POLARX LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of PolarX Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), 
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of
profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  the
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

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

(i)

(ii)

giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group’s  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2021  and  of  its  financial
performance for the year then ended; and

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion 

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

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

Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern 

As referred to in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on the going concern basis. For the financial year ended 30 June 2021, the Group incurred a loss after
income tax of $1,299,752 and in net cash outflow from operating activities of $1,217,800.  At 30 June 2021, the
Group had cash and cash equivalents of $3,485,056.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

Bedford International network of firms

 
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its planned exploration, administration and other
commitments is dependent upon the Group raising further working capital and/or successfully exploiting its mineral
assets. In the event that the Group is not successful in raising further equity or in exploiting its mineral assets, the
Group may not be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and the realisable value of the Group’s current 
and non-current assets may be significantly less than book values.

Our audit opinion is not modified on this respect.

Key Audit Matters 

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

Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in the audit

Carrying Value of Exploration and Evaluation 
Assets 

As disclosed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial
statements,  the  carrying  value  of  exploration  and
evaluation assets amounted to $27,946,204 (2020:
$24,307,272).

The  carrying  value  of  exploration  and  evaluation
assets is a key audit matter due to:

•

and 

Inter  alia,  our  audit  procedures 
following:

included 

the

i. Assessing  the  Group’s  right  to  tenure  over
exploration  assets  by  corroborating 
the
ownership  of  the  relevant  licences  for  mineral
resources to government registries and relevant
third-party documentation;

ii. Reviewing  the  directors’  assessment  of  the
carrying value of the capitalised exploration and
evaluation  assets,  ensuring  the  veracity  of  the
data  presented  and  assessing  management’s
consideration of potential impairment indicators,
commodity prices and the stage of the Group’s
projects against AASB 6;

iii. Evaluating  documents  supporting  the  Group’s
intention 
its  exploration  and
evaluation  activities  in  areas  of  interest.  The
documents we evaluated included:

to  continue 

▪ Minutes of the board and management; and
▪ Announcements made by  the  Group  to  the

Australian Securities Exchange; and

iv. Assessing  the  adequacy  of  the  disclosures  in
accordance  with  the  applicable  accounting
standards.

Other Information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 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 opinion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so,  consider  whether  the  other  information  is  materially  inconsistent  with  the  financial  report  or  our  knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have
nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair
view  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  for  such  internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and
fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting  unless  the  directors  either  intend  to  liquidate  the  Group  or  to  cease  operations,  or  has  no  realistic
alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance  is  a  high  level  of  assurance,  but  is  not  a  guarantee  that  an  audit  conducted  in  accordance  with  the
Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards,  we  exercise  professional  judgement  and
maintain  professional  scepticism  throughout  the  audit.  An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit
evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.

The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor's  judgement,  including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of  material
misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 entity's internal control.

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.

An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of
accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We 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.

We 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.

We  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.

The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements.
We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

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

Report on the Remuneration Report  

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 21 to 26 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 
June 2021.

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of PolarX Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 complies with section
300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Responsibilities 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in
accordance  with  section  300A  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the
Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
