Managing
Director's Report
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to provide this Annual Report of your
Company’s performance in FY2020. Whilst the
Company achieved many corporate and project
milestones, we were limited on what we could
achieve due to the global turmoil caused by
Covid-19.
Even with these challenges that we have all faced
this year, nothing has changed the fact that
Arcadia is in a unique position, because it is the
only lithium deposit that can produce both low
iron spodumene for the electric vehicle market and
ultra-low iron petalite lithium concentrates for the
glass and ceramics markets.
2020, the year of milestones
The year consisted of balancing development of
opportunities with risk management (cutting
costs) in the face of a global pandemic. Prospect
made substantial progress on its strategic objective
to become Africa’s leading lithium producer by
releasing our updated Definitive Feasibility Study
("DFS") and signing the ultra-low iron petalite
offtake agreement with Sibelco.
As you will remember from our ASX
announcements this year, a lot of 2020 has been
focused on the ultra-low iron petalite market.
Whilst most Australian spodumene producers
have been hamstrung by low spodumene prices in
2020, ultra-low iron petalite prices have remained
strong. Assuming tantalum and petalite revenues
are credited against the cost of spodumene
production, then even at these low prices, our
spodumene is expected to make a healthy margin.
This is an example of why Arcadia is unique and
our products are in demand.
In late December 2019, the Company appointed
African Export-Import Bank (“Afreximbank”) to
arrange and manage the primary syndication of a
2.
Leading the way in the
battery revolution
US$143m project finance debt facility. Given the upheaval
in global markets, progress with Afreximbank has been
frustratingly slow. That being said, we have not used this as
a reason to slow down parallel initiatives:
• Sibelco offtake. The Company signed the largest ultra-
low iron petalite offtake agreement in the world (up to
700,000 tonnes over 7 years).
• MOU with Uranium One. The Company signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Uranium
One for the purpose of Uranium One to undertake due
diligence on Prospect and Arcadia with the intention
to invest in or acquire Prospect or Arcadia and secure
more than 50% of the spodumene offtake. These
discussions are progressing well.
• Renaissance Capital. The Company appointed
Renaissance Capital as its exclusive financial advisor in
relation to the potential sale, directly or indirectly, of the
Company’s interest in the Arcadia Lithium Project or of
Prospect itself to Uranium One. We are working closely
with Renaissance Capital.
Lithium, the strategic mineral
In line with our long-term strategy, we see lithium as a
robust and sustainable element to the electrification
thematic that has and will continue to fundamentally
revolutionise the way we live. Lithium’s role in the storage,
use and transfer of energy has already touched the globe
through our use of smart phones for global communication,
laptops, electric grid stability and storage to power our
homes, and electric vehicles to drive us. Ultra-low iron
petalite is the primary ingredient in the production of
induction cooktops that provides heat for us to cook our
food, other high temperature glass products, fiberglass and
wind turbines.
Prospect well positioned for success
In all industries there are business cycles and the success of
the Company is determined by how it performs during the
challenging times, not only during cycle peaks. Lithium is
no different and Prospect made the most of 2020 to open
new markets, conduct expansive technical work to de-risk
Arcadia’s future operations, extended Arcadia’s Life of Mine
and substantially improve Arcadia’s project economics.
Whilst the events of 2020 have delayed the development of
Arcadia, we have still moved closer to the date for first dig
and first products. We are well positioned for Prospect to
take full advantage of the irrefutable wave of demand and
the emerging supply gaps. We have a tier one deposit, an
experienced management team and high-quality offtake
partners.
On behalf of the Board and Management, I would like to
thank you for your valuable contribution and continued
support. While we remain vigilant about the short term
market outlook, our long term view remains positive and we
are well placed to meet demand for the lithium the world
needs well into the future.
Thank you for your continued support of Prospect
Resources.

OverviewReview of OperationsASX Additional InformationFinancial ReportDirectors' ReportAnnual Report 2020 Arcadia Lithium Project
Location
The Arcadia Lithium Project is located approximately
35 km east of Harare, Zimbabwe providing convenient
access to skilled and semi-skilled labour. A Mining Lease
has been granted over an area of more than 10 km2
and Environmental Approvals are in place. The Project
is located close to major highways and railheads, with
the Beira Port being less than 580 km away by rail/road
transport. Grid power access via switchyard is within 4
km of the Project with 20 MVA capacity. There is surplus
groundwater available.
Geology
The Arcadia Lithium deposit is hosted within a series
of 14 stacked, sub parallel petalite-spodumene bearing
pegmatites that intrude the local Archaean age Harare
Greenstone Belt. Dimensions of the pegmatites defined
by drilling to date are 4.5 km along strike (SW-NE), with an
average thickness of 15 m and dipping 15 degrees to the
NW. The Main Pegmatite is exposed in the historical pit,
and the deposit is open along strike to the southwest. The
deposit is cut by the NNE-SSW trending Mashonganyika
Fault zone, as well as a regional SW-NE trending dolerite
dyke that appears to truncate the pegmatite to the NW. A
total of 194 RC and 111 diamond drill holes have been drilled
on the project (26,682m).

Arcadia Project Highlights
Benchmark Low Iron Petalite Report
Prospect Resources received an independent market report
from leading market analysis firm Benchmark Mineral
Intelligence (“Benchmark”) on the use of lithium in the glass
& ceramics market and the premium pricing of low iron
petalite concentrate. The findings in the report were:
•
In 2018, the global lithium market size was 276,000
LCE with 17% (46,500 LCE or 470,000t equivalent of 4%
low iron petalite concentrate) going into the glass &
ceramics market;
• Globally, there were only two producers of low iron
lithium concentrates (one being petalite concentrate,
now closed, and another being a spodumene
concentrate producer) that meets the glass & ceramics
market specifications, offering Prospect a unique
competitive advantage;
•
18% of the glass & ceramics market (8,500 LCE)
is supplied by ultra-low iron petalite concentrate
(equivalent to 86,000t of 4% Li2O petalite concentrate)
which the Arcadia mine will produce;
• Growth in market share of ultra-low iron petalite has
been restricted due to a lack of product volume and
continuity of supply volumes - Arcadia will be able to
satisfy this demand.
The battery industry is not the only sector using lithium
minerals and chemicals. In 2018, an estimated 17% of
lithium production was consumed by the glass and
ceramics market. This can be consumed as a mineral
(petalite or spodumene) or as a refined chemical product
(lithium carbonate). Only ultra-low iron petalite and low
iron spodumene can be used efficiently in the glass and
ceramics industry.
In recent times, there have only been two major producers
of these low iron lithium concentrates. Now that the only
ultra-low iron petalite producer has ceased operations,
there are question marks over future supply of such
product. Clearly, this is an opportunity for Arcadia. There
are no listed lithium companies in Australia, Canada or
South America that can supply this product.
Increased JORC Reserve Estimates
On 20 November 2019, Prospect Resources announced
a significant increase in the Ore Reserve estimate for the
Arcadia Lithium Project. The upgraded Ore Reserve of
37.4Mt grading 1.22% Li2O and 121ppm Ta2O5, represents a
39% increase on the Ore Reserve announced in December
2017.
The Ore Reserve hosts ~ 1.2Mt of contained lithium
carbonate equivalent (LCE), 10 million pounds of Ta2O5 and
increased Arcadia’s mine life to >15 years.

Updated Definitive Feasibility Study
Prospect released the outcomes of its Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) based on the proposed 2.4 Mtpa mining and
processing operation on 12 December 2019. The DFS confirms that Arcadia will be a strong, high-margin project with
current forecast Life of Mine (LOM) revenue of US$3.42 billion and average annual EBITDA of US$114 million over an
estimated 15.5-year mine life.
The key study outcomes for the 2.4 Mtpa DFS are set out below:

US$344/t
1.5 years
The project economics position Arcadia in the lowest operating cost quartile and as a high margin, tier one lithium project.
In line with the Prospect’s strategic focus of petalite being sold into the glass & ceramics market, the mine plan has been
scheduled to produce 100,000tpa of ultra-low iron petalite production to satisfy customer volumes. This steady state supply
will provide the glass & ceramic customers with long term security of supply, something which they have not been able to
achieve prior to Arcadia.
Afreximbank appointed as Mandated Lead Arranger
Prospect appointed African Export-Import Bank (“Afreximbank”) to arrange and manage the primary syndication of a
US$143m project finance debt facility. This process has been delayed due to the uncertainty created by the Covid-19.
8.
Offtake Agreements
Prospect has now entered into offtake agreements with Sinomine Resource (Hong Kong) International Trading Co., Limited
(“Sinomine”) and with Sibelco N.V. for its lithium concentrates as follows:
(i) Sinomine
The Offtake Agreement has a term of seven years delivering 280,000 tonnes 6% Li2O (lithia) spodumene concentrate and
784,000 tonnes 4% Li2O petalite concentrate (Petalite). Prospect is entitled to increase the quantities of Spodumene and
decrease the quantities of Petalite, provided the lithia units of the combined Spodumene and Petalite do not change.
Sinomine has agreed to make an advanced payment to Prospect of US$10m following the ball mill being delivered and bolt
installed at the Project.
(ii) Sibelco
The Offtake Agreement has a term of seven years delivering up to 100,000 dmt per annum of high quality ultra-low iron
petalite concentrate, resulting in a total of up to 700,000 dmt over the lifetime of the contract.
MOU signed with Uranium One and appointment of Renaissance Capital
Prospect has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Uranium One Group JSC (“Uranium One”).
Uranium One is a global energy company and one of the world’s largest uranium producers, with a diverse portfolio of assets
worldwide, including in Kazakhstan, the United States and Tanzania. Uranium One is a company of ROSATOM, the Russian
State Corporation for Nuclear Energy.
The purpose of the MOU is to complete due diligence on the Company and its Arcadia Lithium Project; and subject to
satisfactory due diligence, negotiate:
•
equity investment terms in Prospect or its subsidiaries; and
• offtake terms for at least 51% of the Company’s future lithium production.
The discussions with Uranium One are progressing well. In light of this, Prospect appointed Renaissance Securities (Cyprus)
Limited (“Renaissance Capital”) as its exclusive financial advisor in relation to the potential sale, directly or indirectly, of the
Company’s interest in the Arcadia Lithium Project or of Prospect itself to Uranium One or its affiliates.

Penhalonga – Gold
Chishanya – Phosphate
The Penhalonga Gold Project consists of a number of shear
and vein hosted gold deposits along the southern side of
the Penhalonga Valley covering an area of approximately
1.8km2, including the historic Battersea Gold Mine and the
dormant Penhalonga Gold Mine, 5km north of Mutare. It
is situated in the Mutare Greenstone Belt which extends
eastward into Mozambique. In terms of gold production
per unit area, the Mutare Greenstone Belt at 122kg Au/
km2 is one of the richest belts within Zimbabwe. Historical
production from the Penhalonga valley between 1897
and 1937 amounted to: Gold 1.3m oz, Silver 1.6m oz, Lead
7,258 tonnes and Copper 5.2 tonnes. Prospect also owns a
number of lead tenements within the Mutare Greenstone
Belt.
The Chishanya Phosphate Project is one of 5 known
phosphate bearing carbonatites in Zimbabwe. The deposit
has been explored by a number of companies since the
1950s including Anglo American and Rhodesia Chrome
Mines Ltd. The deposit is a series of un-exploited phosphate
bearing, apatite-magnetite lenses in carbonatite located
near Birchenough Bridge, Manicaland. The potential for
Rare Earth Elements (REEs) has also never previously been
assessed.
Gwanda East - Gold
The Group terminated the Farvic joint venture farming
agreement at Gwanda East by mutual consent and sold its
non-core Gwanda East claims and plant and equipment for
its written down value of US$105,864.

DIVIDENDS
The Group has recognised a loss after tax from continuing
operations of $4,607,000 (2019: Loss $5,753,000). The loss
has reduced from the prior year due to project generation
costs reducing to $Nil (2019: $784,000) and share based
payments expense reducing to $Nil (2019: $535,000). The
Group undertook cost reduction initiatives in the last
quarter of the financial year with the impact of these
reductions to be realised in financial year 2021.
Additional information on the operations and financial
position of the Group is set out in the Review of Operations
and Directors’ Report.
No dividends were recommended or paid during the
current year.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS/STRATEGIES AND

OverviewReview of OperationsASX Additional InformationFinancial ReportDirectors' ReportAnnual Report 2020Directors' Report REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The Remuneration Report is set out under the following
main headings:
1) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of
remuneration;
2) Details of remuneration;
3) Service agreements; and
4) Share-based compensation.
The information provided in this Remuneration Report
has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the
Corporations Act 2001.
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration
for each director and executive of Prospect Resources
Limited. The information provided in the remuneration
report includes remuneration disclosures that are audited
as required by the Corporations Act 2001 and its regulations.
For the purposes of this report, Key Management Personnel
of the Group are defined as those persons having authority
and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling
the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly,
including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of
the parent company.
For the purposes of this report, the term ‘executive’ includes
those key management personnel who are not directors of
the parent company.
(1) Principles used to determine the nature
and amount of remuneration
It is the Group’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder
benefit from the retention of a high quality board and
executives by remunerating directors and executives fairly
and appropriately with reference to relevant employment
market conditions. To assist in achieving the objective, the
Board links the nature and amount of executive director’s
emoluments to the Group’s financial and operational
performance. The intended outcomes of this remuneration
structure are:
• Retention and motivation of directors and executives
• Performance rewards to allow directors and executives
to share the rewards of the success of the Group.
The remuneration of an executive director will be decided
by the Board. In determining competitive remuneration
rates the Board reviews local and international trends
among comparative companies and the industry generally.
It also examines terms and conditions for any options
issued.
During the year, external consultants were not used for
determining remuneration.
The maximum remuneration of non-executive directors is
the subject of shareholder resolution in accordance with
the Group’s Constitution, and the Corporations Act 2001
as applicable and is set at $500,000. The appointment of
non-executive director remuneration within that maximum
will be made by the Board having regards to the inputs and
value to the Group of the respective contributions by each
non-executive director.
The Board may award additional remuneration to non-
executive directors called upon to perform extra services or
make special exertions on behalf of the Group. There is no
scheme to provide retirement benefits, other than statutory
superannuation, to non-executive directors. All equity
based remuneration paid to directors and executives is
valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options are
valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.
Performance Based Remuneration
The Board may pay bonuses to directors and executives at
its discretion.
The issue of options to directors and executives is to
encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder
returns. The intention of this program is to align the
objectives of directors/executives with that of the business
and shareholders. In addition, all directors and executives
are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
Group Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Key
Management Personnel Remuneration
The Group is currently undertaking exploration and
development activities, and does not expect to be
undertaking profitable operations (other than by way of
material asset sales, none of which is currently planned)
until sometime after the successful commercialisation,
production and sales of commodities from one or more
of its projects. Accordingly, the Board does not consider
earnings during the current and previous four financial
years when determining, and in relation to, the nature and
amount of remuneration of KMP.
The remuneration policy has been tailored to maximise the
commonality of goals between shareholders, directors and
executives. The method applied in achieving this aim to
date being the issue of options to directors and executives
to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder
interests. The Group believes this policy will be the most
effective in increasing shareholder wealth.

Annual Report 2020 OverviewReview of OperationsASX Additional InformationFinancial ReportDirectors' Report NOTE 1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Prospect Resources Limited (“the
Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2020 was authorised
for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on
30 September 2020.
Prospect Resources Limited is a company limited by shares
and incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly
traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The financial statements comprise the consolidated
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries
(together the “Consolidated Entity” or “Group”). For
the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Company is a for-profit entity.
The principal activity of the Group is exploration, evaluation
and development of mineral resources.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of the Financial Report are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to the years
presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a)
Basis of preparation
This general purpose Financial Report has been prepared
in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting
Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other
requirements of law, unless stated otherwise.
Accounting Standards include Australian Standards,
compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures
that the financial statements and notes of the Company
and Group comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards (‘IFRS’).
It is recommended that this financial report be read in
conjunction with the public announcements made by
Prospect Resources Limited during the year in accordance
with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under
the Corporations Act 2001.
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the
historical cost convention modified, where applicable, for
financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date,
regardless of whether that price is directly observable or
estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating
the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into
account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market
participants would take those characteristics into account
when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement
date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure
purposes in these consolidated financial statements
is determined on such a basis, except for share-based
payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2:
Share Based Payments, leasing transactions that are within
the scope of AASB 16: Leases, and measurements that have
some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as
net realisable value in AASB 102: Inventories or value in use
in AASB 136: Impairment of Assets.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value
measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based
on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value
measurements are observable and the significance of the
inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which
are described as follows:
•
•
•
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity
can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices
included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or
liability.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates. It also requires management to exercise
its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s
accounting policies. Where these are areas involving a
higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where
assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial
statements, these are disclosed in Note 2(bb).
Comparative figures
When required by accounting standards, comparative
figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation for the current year. When the Group applies
an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective
restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements,
a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the
earliest comparative period will be disclosed.
(b)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the
financial statements of the Company and entities controlled
by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved
when the Company:
• has power over the investee;
•
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee; and
• has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an
investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements of control
listed above.
28.
Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial StatementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting
rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when
the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability
to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally.
The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances
in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in
an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
•
the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights
relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the
other vote holders;
• potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote
holders or other parties;
•
•
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
any additional facts and circumstances that indicate
that the Company has, or does not have, the current
ability to direct the activities at the time that decisions
need to be made, including voting patterns at previous
shareholders’ meetings.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company
obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the
Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically,
income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed
of during the year are included in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income from the date the Company gains control until the
date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive
income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to
the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of
subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and
to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-
controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting
policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
(c)
Going Concern
For the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group recorded
a loss of $4,607,000 (2019: loss $6,969,000) and had net
cash outflows from operating and investing activities of
$7,344,000 (2019: $18,029,000). As at reporting date, the
Group had cash and cash equivalents of $1,698,000. These
conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast
significant doubt about the Group’s and the Company’s
ability to continue as going concerns.
The Group’s principal objective is to develop the Arcadia
Project and as such, it does not presently have a source of
operating income sufficient to fund its operations, rather
it is reliant on equity raisings or funds from other external
sources to fund its activities.
To support the activities outlined in the Directors’ Report,
the Group will be required to raise additional funds. The
Group has previously been successful in raising cash
through equity raisings, as and when required.
meet its operating costs and pay its debts as and when they
fall due for at least twelve months from the date of this report.
However, the Directors acknowledge that material
uncertainty remains over the Group’s ability to meet its
funding requirements, as future funding is uncertain until
secured. If for any reason the Group is unable to continue
as a going concern, then this could impact the Group’s
ability to realise assets at their recognised values and to
extinguish liabilities in the normal course of business at the
amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements.
(d)
Application of new and revised Accounting
Standards
The Group has considered the implications of new and
amended Accounting Standards which have become
applicable for the current financial reporting period. The
Group had to change its accounting policies as a result of
adopting the following Standard:
• AASB 16: Leases
The Group has 1 lease which could be cancelled on 3
months notice with the total obligation being $12,000. As
a result, this has been treated as a short term lease and
therefore, all lease payments expensed directly to profit or
loss. The adoption of AASB 16 does not have a significant
impact on the financial report.
Leases
The Group as lessee
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.
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
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended
30 June 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis,
as in the opinion of Directors, the Group will be in a position to
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the
lease term reflects the exercise of options to terminate
the lease.
29.
Annual Report 2020 OverviewReview of OperationsASX Additional InformationFinancial ReportDirectors' ReportNotes to and Forming Part of the Financial StatementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
Initial Application of AASB 16: Leases
The Group has adopted AASB 16: Leases retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying AASB 16 recognised as
1 July 2019. In accordance with AASB 16, the comparatives for the 2018 reporting period have not been restated.
The following practical expedients have been used by the Group in applying AASB 16 Leases for the first time:
•
Leases that have remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 have been accounted for in the same way
as short-term lease.

(f)
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated
customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Sale of Goods
Revenue from sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is brought to account when delivered to the customer
and selling prices are known or can be reasonably estimated. For spodumene and petalite concentrate sales, the above
conditions are generally satisfied when title passes to the customer, typically on the bill of lading date when the concentrate
is delivered to the vessel. For gold, this is generally when the gold is credited to the metal account of the customer.
Government Tax Credits and Rebates
Government tax credits and rebates, inclusive of research and development tax credit, are recognised as income at their fair
value where there is a reasonable assurance that the government tax credit or rebate will be received and the Group will
comply with all attached conditions.
Farming Income
Revenue from the sale of farming goods is brought to account when delivered to the customer and selling prices are known
or can be reasonably estimated.
Interest Income
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method.
(g)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For statement of cash flow presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call
with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
(h)
Income Tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on a current period’s taxable income based on the
income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to
unused tax losses.
30.
Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial StatementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in
respect of temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will
be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or
liability, excluding a business combination, where there is
no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Materials and supplies are measured at the lower of cost or
net realisable value. The cost is determined using the first-
in, first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in
acquiring the inventories. Any provision for obsolescence
is determined by reference to specific items of stock. A
regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of
any provision for obsolescence.
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 in the income
statement 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 deductible temporary differences
and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary
differences and tax losses.
(i)
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers
for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary
course of business. They are generally due for settlement
within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount
of consideration that is unconditional unless they
contain significant financing components, when they
are recognised at fair value. The Group holds the trade
receivables with the objective to collect the contractual
cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Details
about the Group’s impairment policies and the calculation
of the loss allowance are provided in Note 2(t).
Other receivables
Other receivables are recognised at fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision
for impairment.
(j)
Inventories
Product inventories comprise ore in stockpiles, work-in-
progress and finished goods and are physically measured
or estimated and valued at the lower of average cost or net
realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated future
sales price of the product the entity expects to realise when
the product is processed and sold, less estimated costs to
complete production and bring the product to sale. Where
the time value of money is material, these future prices and
costs to complete are discounted.
Cost is determined by using the weighted-average method
and comprises direct purchase costs and an appropriate
portion of fixed and variable overhead costs, including
depreciation and amortisation, incurred in converting
materials into finished goods, based on the normal
production capacity. The cost of production is allocated to
joint products using a ratio of spot prices by volume at each
month end. Separately identifiable costs of conversion of
each mineral are specifically allocated.
(k)
Assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their
carrying amount will be recovered principally through
a sale transaction rather than continued use. They are
measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair
value less costs of disposal. For non-current assets to
be classified as held for sale, they must be available for
immediate sale in their present condition and their sale
must be highly probable.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or
subsequent write down of the non-current asset to fair
value less costs of disposal. A gain is recognised for any
subsequent increases in fair value less costs of disposal of
a non-current asset, but not in excess of any cumulative
impairment loss previously recognised.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised
while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other
expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale
continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented
separately on the face of the statement of financial
position, in current assets.
(l)
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost
or valuation of assets less their residual values over their
useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated
useful lives, residual values and depreciation method
are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with
the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a
prospective basis.
Depreciation rates and methods shall be reviewed at least
annually and, where changed, shall be accounted for as a
change in accounting estimate. During the current year,
the directors determined that the useful lives of each class
of asset are:
• Buildings
• Plant and equipment
• Office equipment and
furniture and fittings
20 to 40 years
5 to 15 years
3 to 5 years
• Vehicles
5 years
31.
Annual Report 2020 OverviewReview of OperationsASX Additional InformationFinancial ReportDirectors' ReportNotes to and Forming Part of the Financial StatementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Where depreciation rates or methods are changed, the
net written down value of the asset is depreciated from
the date of the change in accordance with the new
depreciation rate or method. Depreciation recognised
in prior financial years shall not be changed, that is, the
change in depreciation rate or method shall be accounted
for on a ‘prospective’ basis.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised
upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any
gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item
of property, plant and equipment is determined as the
difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
(m)
Exploration expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred on
granted exploration licences is accumulated in respect of
each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried
forward where the rights to tenure of the area of interest
are current and to the extent that they are expected to
be recouped through the successful development of the
area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a
stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence
of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs
in relation to any abandoned area will be written off in
full against profit in the period in which the decision to
abandon the area is made. When production commences,
the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest will
be amortised over the life of the area of interest according
to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable
reserves. A regular review will be undertaken of each area
of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing
to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
(n)
Mine properties
Mines under construction
Expenditure is transferred from ’Exploration and evaluation
assets’ to ’Mines under construction’ which is a subcategory
of ’Mine properties’ once the work completed to date
supports the future development of the property and such
development receives appropriate approvals.
After transfer of the exploration and evaluation assets, all
subsequent expenditure on the construction, installation,
or completion of infrastructure facilities recognised in
’Mines under construction’. Development expenditure is
net of proceeds from the sale of ore extracted during the
development phase to the extent that it is considered
integral to the development of the mine. Any costs
incurred in testing the assets to determine if they are
functioning as intended, are capitalised, net of any
proceeds received from selling any product produced
while testing. Where these proceeds exceed the cost of
testing, any excess is recognised in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income. After production
starts, all assets included in ‘Mines under construction’ are
then transferred to ’Producing mines’ which is also a sub-
category of ’Mine properties’.
Mine properties and property, plant and equipment
(i) Initial recognition
Upon completion of the mine construction phase, the
assets are transferred into “Property, plant and equipment”
or “Mine properties”. Items of property, plant and
equipment and producing mine are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses.
The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price
or construction cost, any costs directly attributable to
bringing the asset into operation, the initial estimate of
the rehabilitation obligation, and, for qualifying assets
(where relevant), borrowing costs. The purchase price
or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid and
the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire
the asset. The capitalised value of a finance lease is also
included in property, plant and equipment.
Mine properties also consist of the fair value attributable
to mineral reserves and the portion of mineral resources
considered to be probable of economic extraction at the
time of an acquisition. When a mine construction project
moves into the production phase, the capitalisation
of certain mine construction costs ceases, and costs
are either regarded as part of the cost of inventory or
expensed, except for costs which qualify for capitalisation
relating to mining asset additions, improvements or new
developments, mine development or mineable reserve
development.
(ii) Depreciation/amortisation
Accumulated mine development costs are depreciated/
amortised on a Unit Of Production (UOP) basis over the
economically recoverable reserves of the mine concerned,
except in the case of assets whose useful life is shorter
than the life of the mine, in which case, the straight-line
method is applied. The unit of account for run-of-mine
(ROM) costs is tonnes of ore, whereas the unit of account
for post-ROM costs are recoverable tonnes of Li2O. Rights
and concessions are depleted on the UOP basis over
the economically recoverable reserves of the relevant
area. The UOP rate calculation for the depreciation/
amortisation of mine development costs takes into
account expenditures incurred to date, together with
sanctioned future development expenditure. Economically
recoverable reserves include proven and probable reserves.
The estimated fair value attributable to the mineral
reserves and the portion of mineral resources considered
to be probable of economic extraction at the time of the
acquisition is amortised on a UOP basis whereby the
denominator is the proven and probable reserves, and
for some mines, a portion of mineral resources which
are expected to be extracted economically. These other
mineral resources may be included in depreciation
calculations in limited circumstances and where there is
a high degree of confidence in their economic extraction.
This would be the case when the other mineral resources
do not yet have the status of reserves merely because
the necessary detailed evaluation work has not yet been
performed and the responsible technical personnel
agree that inclusion of a proportion of measured and
indicated resources is appropriate based on historic reserve
conversion rates.
32.
Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial StatementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The estimated fair value of the mineral resources that are
not considered to be probable of economic extraction at
the time of the acquisition is not subject to amortisation,
until the resource becomes probable of economic
extraction in the future and is recognised in exploration
and evaluation assets.
The premium paid in excess of the intrinsic value of land to
gain access is amortised over the life of the mine.
Other plant and equipment, such as mobile mine
equipment, is generally depreciated on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
• Buildings
• Plant and equipment
• Office equipment and
furniture and fittings
20 to 40 years
5 to 15 years
3 to 5 years
• Vehicles
5 years
An item of property, plant and equipment and any
significant part initially recognised is derecognised
upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising
on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset) is included in statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income when the asset is
derecognised.
The asset’s residual values, useful lives and methods of
depreciation/amortisation are reviewed at each reporting
period and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Stripping (waste removal) costs
As part of its mining operations, the Group incurs stripping
(waste removal) costs both during the development phase
and production phase of its operations. Stripping costs
incurred in the development phase of a mine, before the
production phase commences (development stripping),
are capitalised as part of the cost of constructing the mine
and subsequently amortised over its useful life using a UOP
method. The capitalisation of development stripping costs
ceases when the mine/component is commissioned and
ready for use as intended by management.
Stripping activities undertaken during the production
phase of a surface mine (production stripping) are
accounted for as set out below. After the commencement
of production, further development of the mine may
require a phase of unusually high stripping that is similar
in nature to development phase stripping. The cost of such
stripping is accounted for in the same way as development
stripping (as outlined above).
Production stripping is generally considered to create
two benefits, being either the production of inventory
or improved access to the ore to be mined in the future.
Where the benefits are realised in the form of inventory
produced in the period, the production stripping costs
are accounted for as part of the cost of producing those
inventories. Where the benefits are realised in the form
of improved access to ore to be mined in the future, the
costs are recognised as a non-current asset, referred to as a
‘stripping activity asset’, if the following criteria are met:
(a) Future economic benefits (being improved access
to the ore body) are probable
(b) The component of the ore body for which access
will be improved can be accurately identified
(c) The costs associated with the improved access can
be reliably measured
If any of the criteria are not met, the production stripping
costs are charged to profit or loss as operating costs as
they are incurred. In identifying components of the ore
body, the Group works closely with the mining operations
personnel for each mining operation to analyse each of the
mine plans. Generally, a component will be a subset of the
total ore body, and a mine may have several components.
The mine plans, and therefore the identification of
components, can vary between mines for a number of
reasons. These include, but are not limited to: the type of
commodity, the geological characteristics of the ore body,
the geographical location, and/or financial considerations.
Given the nature of the Group’s operations, components
are generally either major pushbacks or phases and they
generally form part of a larger investment decision which
requires board approval.
The stripping activity asset is initially measured at cost,
which is the accumulation of costs directly incurred to
perform the stripping activity that improves access to the
identified component of ore, plus an allocation of directly
attributable overhead costs. If incidental operations are
occurring at the same time as the production stripping
activity, but are not necessary for the production stripping
activity to continue as planned, these costs are not
included in the cost of the stripping activity asset.
If the costs of the inventory produced and the stripping
activity asset are not separately identifiable, a relevant
production measure is used to allocate the production
stripping costs between the inventory produced and
the stripping activity asset. This production measure is
calculated for the identified component of the ore body
and is used as a benchmark to identify the extent to which
the additional activity of creating a future benefit has
taken place. The Group uses the expected volume of waste
extracted compared with the actual volume for a given
volume of ore production of each component.
The stripping activity asset is accounted for as an addition
to, or an enhancement of, an existing asset, being the
mine asset, and is presented as part of ’Mine properties’ in
the statement of financial position. This forms part of the
total investment in the relevant cash generating unit(s),
which is reviewed for impairment if events or changes of
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The stripping activity asset is subsequently depreciated
using the UOP method over the life of the identified
component of the ore body that became more accessible
as a result of the stripping activity. Economically
recoverable reserves, which comprise proven and probable
reserves, are used to determine the expected useful life of
the identified component of the ore body. The stripping
activity asset is then carried at cost less depreciation and
any impairment losses.
Major maintenance and repairs
Expenditure on major maintenance refits or repairs
comprises the cost of replacement assets or parts of assets
and overhaul costs. Where an asset, or part of an asset,
that was separately depreciated and is now written off is
replaced, and it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the Group through an
extended life, the expenditure is capitalised.
Where part of the asset was not separately considered as a
component and therefore not depreciated separately, the
replacement value is used to estimate the carrying amount
of the replaced asset(s) which is immediately written off.
All other day-to-day maintenance and repairs costs are
expensed as incurred.

Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of
the software include employee costs and an appropriate
portion of relevant overheads. Capitalised development
costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from
the point at which the asset is ready for use.
The Group amortises intangible assets with a limited useful
life, using the straight-line method over the following
periods:

Borrowing costs
(p)
Investments in Associates
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of an asset that necessarily
takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use or sale (a qualifying asset) are capitalised as
part of the cost of the respective asset. Borrowing costs
consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in
connection with the borrowing of funds.
Where funds are borrowed specifically to finance a project,
the amount capitalised represents the actual borrowing
costs incurred. Where surplus funds are available for a short
term from funds borrowed specifically to finance a project,
the income generated from the temporary investment of
such amounts is also capitalised and deducted from the
total capitalised borrowing cost. Where the funds used
to finance a project form part of general borrowings, the
amount capitalised is calculated using a weighted average
of rates applicable to relevant general borrowings of the
Group during the period.
An associate is an entity over which the Group has
significant influence. Significant influence is the power to
participate in the financial and operating policy decisions
of the entity but is not control or joint control those
policies. Investments in associates are accounted for in
the consolidated financial statements by applying the
equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is
initially recognised at cost (including transaction costs) and
adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the
Group’s share of net assets of the associate. In addition,
the Group’s share of the profit or loss of the associate is
included in the Group’s profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the investment includes, when
applicable, goodwill relating to the associate. Any discount
on acquisition, whereby the Group’s share of the net fair
value of the associate exceeds the cost of investment,
is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the
investment is acquired.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the
period in which they are incurred.
Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the
Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the
Group’s interest in the associate.
(o)
Intangible Assets
Software
Costs associated with maintaining software programmes
are recognised as an expense as incurred. The cost
of purchasing software, and development costs that
are directly attributable to the design and testing of
identifiable and unique software products controlled by
the Group are recognised as intangible assets where the
following criteria are met:
When the Group’s share of losses in the associate equals or
exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group discontinues
recognising its share of losses unless it has incurred legal
or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf
of the associate. When the associate subsequently makes
profits, the Group will resume recognising its share of those
profits once its share of the profits equals the share of the
losses not recognised.

unanimous decisions about relevant activities are required.
wholly settled within one year after the end of the period
in which the employees render the related services are
classified as short-term benefits and are measured at the
amount due to be paid.
Separate joint venture entities providing joint venturers
with an interest to net assets are classified as a joint
venture and accounted for using the equity method. Refer
to Note 2(p) for a description of the equity method of
accounting.
(s)
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year
which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and usually
paid within 30 days of recognition.
Joint operations represent arrangements whereby joint
operators maintain direct interests in each asset and
exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The Group’s
interest in the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of
joint operations are included in the respective line items of
the consolidated financial statements.
Gains and losses resulting from sales to a joint operation
are recognised to the extent of the other parties’ interests.
When the Group makes purchases from a joint operation,
it does not recognise its share of the gains and losses from
the joint arrangement until it resells those goods/assets to
a third party.
(r)
Provision
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.
Provision for site restoration and rehabilitation
In accordance with the Group’s environmental policy
and applicable legal requirements, a provision for site
restoration and rehabilitation in respect of disturbed land is
recognised when the land is disturbed.
The provision is the best estimate of the present value
of the expenditure required to settle the restoration and
rehabilitation obligation at the reporting date, based
on current legal requirements and technology. Future
restoration and rehabilitation costs are reviewed annually,
and any changes are reflected in the present value of
the restoration and rehabilitation provision at the end
of the reporting period. The unwinding of the effect of
discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance
cost.
Provision for employee entitlements
Provision is made for employee entitlements accumulated
as a result of employees rendering services up to the end
of the reporting period. These benefits include wages,
salaries, annual leave and long service leave. Liabilities
in respect of employees’ services rendered that are not
expected to be wholly settled within one year after the end
of the period in which the employees render the related
services recognised as long-term employee benefits.
These liabilities are measured at the present value of the
estimated future cash outflow to the employees using the
projected unit credit method. Liabilities expected to be

Financial Instruments
Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised
when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the financial instrument. Financial
instruments (except for trade receivables) are measured
initially at fair value adjusted by transaction costs, except for
those carried at ‘fair value through profit or loss’, in which
case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss. Where
available, quoted prices in an active market are used to
determine the fair value. In other circumstances, valuation
techniques are adopted. Subsequent measurement of
financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.
Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction
price if the receivables do not contain a significant
financing component in accordance with AASB 15.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual
rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire,
or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and
rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised
when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled, or expired.
Classification and measurement
Financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a
significant financing component and are measured at the
transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial
assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for
transaction costs (where applicable).
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial
assets other than those designated and effective as
hedging instruments are classified into the following
categories upon initial recognition:
•
•
•
amortised cost;
fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI); and
fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
Classifications are determined by both:
•
•
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial
assets; and
the Group’s business model for managing the financial
asset.
35.
Annual Report 2020 OverviewReview of OperationsASX Additional InformationFinancial ReportDirectors' ReportNotes to and Forming Part of the Financial StatementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the
assets meet with the following conditions (and are not
designated as FVPL);
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and,
where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the
Group designated a financial liability at fair value through
profit or loss.
•
•
they are held within a business model whose objective
is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual
cash flows; and
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is
omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The
Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other
receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income
The Group measures debt instruments at fair value
through OCI if both of the following conditions are met:
•
•
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; and
the financial asset is held within a business model with
the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash
flows and selling the financial asset.
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. The remaining fair
value changes are recognised in OCI.
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.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
(FVPL)
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.
Financial liabilities
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.
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method except
for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL,
which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or
losses recognised in profit or loss.
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, gains and
losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in
profit or loss.
(u)
Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities
is measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which that entity operates.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in
Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional
currency. The functional currency of all subsidiaries other
than Thornvlei is US dollars. Thornvlei’s functional currency
is Zimbabwe Dollars.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the
functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing
at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary
items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-
monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be
carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Non- monetary items measured at fair value are reported
at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were
determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of
monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except
where deferred in equity when the exchange difference
arises on monetary items receivable from or payable to a
foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned
nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net
investment in the foreign operation).
Exchange differences arising on the translation of
non-monetary items are recognised directly in other
comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying
gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income,
otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the
profit or loss.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations
whose functional currency is different from the Group’s
presentation currency are translated as follows:
• Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates
prevailing at the end of the reporting period;
36.
Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial StatementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
•
Income and expenses are translated at average
exchange rates for the period; and
• Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates
prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign
operations with functional currencies other than the
Australian dollar are recognised in other comprehensive
income and included in the foreign currency translation
reserve in the statement of financial position. The
cumulative amount of these differences is reclassified
into profit or loss in the period in which the operation is
disposed of.
(v)
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 from the proceeds.
(w)
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing
the result attributable to equity holders of the Company
by the weighted number of shares outstanding during the
year. Diluted EPS adjusts the figures used in the calculation
of basic EPS to take into account the after income tax
effect of interest and other financing costs associated with
dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average
number of shares assumed or known to have been issued
in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(x)
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
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 balance sheet are shown
exclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement
of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the GST component
of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as
operating cash flows.
(y)
Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared,
being appropriately authorised and no longer at the
discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the
financial year but not distributed at balance date.
(z)
Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying
values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have
been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair
value less cost to sell and value in use, is compared to the
asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying
value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the
Statement of profit or loss.
Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible
assets with indefinite lives.
(aa)
Share based payment transactions
Equity settled transactions
The Company provides benefits to its employees (including
key management personnel) in the form of share based
payments, whereby employees render services in exchange
for shares or rights over shares (equity settled transactions).
The cost of these equity settled transactions with
employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the
equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.
The charge to the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income is taken when the options are
granted. There is a corresponding entry to equity.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected
as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted
earnings per share.
(bb)
Critical Accounting Judgement and Key
Sources of Uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies which
are described above in Note 2(a), the Directors are required
to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience
and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed
on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised
if the revision affect only that period, or in the period of
the revision and future periods of the revision affects both
current and future periods.
Key Estimates
Ore reserves
Economically recoverable ore reserves represent the
estimated quantity of product in an area of interest that
can be expected to be profitably extracted, processed and
sold under current and foreseeable economic conditions.
The Group determines and reports ore reserves under
the standards incorporated in the Australasian Code for
Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore
Reserves, 2012 Edition (the JORC Code). The determination
of ore reserves includes estimates and assumptions about
a range of geological, technical and economic factors,
including: quantities, grades, productions techniques,
recovery rates, production costs, transport costs,
commodity demand, commodity prices and exchange
rates. Changes in ore reserves impact the assessment of
recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets, property,
plant and equipment, the carrying amount of assets
depreciated on a units of production basis, provision for
site restoration and the recognition of deferred tax assets,
including tax losses.
37.
Annual Report 2020 OverviewReview of OperationsASX Additional InformationFinancial ReportDirectors' ReportNotes to and Forming Part of the Financial StatementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Exploration an evaluation expenditure
The application of the Group’s accounting policy
for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires
judgement to determine whether future economic
benefits are likely, from either future exploitation or sale, or
whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a
reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.
In addition to applying judgement to determine
whether future economic benefits are likely to arise
from the Group’s Exploration & Evaluation assets or
whether activities have not reached a stage that permits
a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves,
the Group has to apply a number of estimates and
assumptions. The estimates directly impact when the
Group defers exploration and evaluation expenditure. The
deferral policy requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions about future events and
circumstances, particularly, whether an economically
viable extraction operation can be established. Any
such estimates and assumptions may change as new
information becomes available. If, after expenditure is
capitalised, information becomes available suggesting
that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the relevant
capitalised amount is written off in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income in the period
when the new information becomes available.
Mine Properties
Estimated economically recoverable reserves are used in
determining the depreciation and/or amortisation of mine-
specific assets. This results in a depreciation/amortisation
charge proportional to the depletion of the anticipated
remaining life-of-mine production. The life of each item,
which is assessed at least annually, has regard to both
its physical life limitations and present assessments of
economically recoverable reserves of the mine property at
which the asset is located. These calculations require the
use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount
of recoverable reserves and estimates of future capital
expenditure. The calculation of the Unit of Production
(“UOP”) rate of depreciation/amortisation could be
impacted to the extent that actual production in the
future is different from current forecast production based
on economically recoverable reserves, or if future capital
expenditure estimates change. Changes to economically
recoverable reserves could arise due to changes in the
factors or assumptions used in estimating reserves,
including:
•
The effect on economically recoverable reserves of
differences between actual commodity prices and
commodity price assumptions
estimates of the extent and costs of rehabilitation activities,
technological changes, and regulatory changes. These
uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure
differing from the amounts currently provided. Therefore,
significant estimates and assumptions are made in
determining the provision for mine rehabilitation. As
a result, there could be significant adjustments to
the provisions established which would affect future
financial result. The provision at reporting date represents
management’s best estimate of the present value of the
future rehabilitation costs required.
Share based payments
The fair value of employee share options and share
appreciation rights is measured using Black Scholes.
Measurement inputs include share price on measurement
date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility
(based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for
changes expected due to publicly available information),
weighted average expected life of the instruments
(based on historical experience and general option holder
behaviour), expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate
(based on government bonds) and probability applied
to the non-vesting conditions (based on management’s
judgement formed in consideration of all the available facts
and circumstances).
Service and non-market performance conditions
attached to the transactions are not taken into account
in determining fair value. Any different estimates and
assumptions affecting the measurement inputs would
have resulted in different grant date fair values, which
would have changed equity settled share-based payments
expense. Subsequent changes to this estimate could have
a significant effect on share based payment expense and
the associated equity-settled payments reserve. The fair
value calculation and inputs to the Black Scholes model are
shown at Note 18(a).
Impairment
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 permit itself or, if not, whether it successfully
recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset
through sale.
Deferred tax assets
Management have made a judgement for the non
recognition of deferred tax asset as the recovery of tax
losses and other deferred tax assets is not considered
probable at this stage.
• Unforeseen operational issues
(bb)
Rounding of Amounts
Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.
Rehabilitation Provision
The ultimate rehabilitation costs are uncertain, and cost
estimates can vary in response to many factors, including
The Group has applied the relief available to it under ASIC
Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports)
Instrument 2016/191. Accordingly, the amounts in the
financial statements and directors’ report have been
rounded to the nearest $1,000.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial StatementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 NOTE 3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management is the role and responsibility of the Board. The Group’s current activities expose it to minimal risk.
However, as activities increase there may be exposure to interest rate, market, credit, and liquidity risks.
(a) Market Risk
(i) Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result
of changes in market rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial
liabilities, is as follows:

The Group has interest bearing assets and therefore income and operating cash flows are subject to changes in the market
rates. However, market changes in interest rates will not have a material impact on the profitability or operating cash flows
of the Group. A movement in interest rates of +/- 100 basis points will result in less than a +/- $14,000 (2019: $47,000) impact
on the Group’s income and operating cash flows. At this time, no detailed sensitivity analysis is undertaken by the Group.
(ii) Price Risk
The Group is not exposed to equity securities price risk as it holds no investments in securities classified on the balance
sheet as either fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Group is not currently exposed to significant commodity price risk as it still operates in the exploration & development
phase. However, future operational cash flows will be affected by fluctuations in the lithium price and other commodity
prices. The Group will develop strategies to mitigate this risk when it moves from the exploration & development phase
into the production phase.

(iii) Currency risk
Currency risk arises from investments and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective
functional currencies of Group entities.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk in the form of financial instruments held in US Dollars (USD) and Zimbabwe
Dollars (ZWL). The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian
dollars, was as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents - USD

Assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% strengthening of the Australian dollar at 30 June 2020 against the
USD and ZWL would have resulted in a decreased loss of $12,000 (2019: increased loss $20,000) and $1,000 (2019: $3,000)
respectively. A 10% weakening of the AUD would have resulted in an increased loss of $12,000 (2019 decreased loss: $20,000)
against the USD and $1,000 (2019: $3,000) against the ZWL, assuming all other variables remain constant. The Group does
not currently hedge against currency risk.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand and demand deposits. The Group limits its credit risk by holding cash
balances and demand deposits with reputable counterparties with acceptable credit rating
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to meet commitments as and when they fall
due. The Group manages liquidity risk by preparing forecasts and monitoring actual cash flows and requirements for
future capital raisings. The Group does not have committed credit lines available, which is appropriate given the nature
of its operations. Surplus funds are invested in a cash management account with Westpac Banking Corporation which is
available as required.
The material liquidity risk for the Group is the ability to raise equity in the future.
(d) Effective interest rate and repricing analysis
Cash and cash equivalents are the only interest bearing financial instruments of the Group.
(e) Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The directors
consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial
statements approximate their fair values.

(1) During the prior year, the Zimbabwe Government introduced a domestic currency called the Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWL).
The Group is required to lodge its tax returns in Zimbabwe in local ZWL. The closing exchange rate between the AUD/
ZWL at 30 June 2020 was $43.74 (2019: $4.74). This has resulted in carried forward losses being devalued.
Tax losses have not been recognised as a deferred tax asset as recoupment is dependent on, amongst other matters,
sufficient future assessable income being earned. That is not considered certain in the foreseeable future and accordingly
there is uncertainty that the losses can be utilised. The deferred tax liabilities of the Group relate to capitalised exploration
costs. The Group’s Arcadia Project has obtained Special Economic Zone status which results in a 0% tax rate for the first 5
years, then 15% thereafter. The deferred tax liabilities of the Group are estimated as $Nil (2019: $Nil).

We have audited the financial report of Prospect Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (“the
Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated
statement of 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)
giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
(ii)
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our
report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's
APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
Without modifying our audit opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter.
As referred to in Note 2(c) to the financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis. At 30 June 2020, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $1,698,000, incurred net cash outflows
from operating activities totalling $4,220,000 and incurred a loss after income tax of $4,607,000.
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its planned mine development, 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 recapitalising the Group and/or raising further equity
or successfully 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.
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.

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s
report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form
of assurance 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 Company 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.

Independent Auditor’s Report
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 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.
