Corporate Profile

Red 5 Limited (ABN 73 068 647 610) is an Australian-based 
gold producer with established mining projects located in the 
Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia and the Mindanao 
region of the Philippines, with a combined 2.7Moz JORC 
Resource inventory across these two projects and a strong 
exploration and resource growth pipeline. 

The Company is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange 
(Ticker: RED) with around 3,700 shareholders and has a strong 
institutional shareholder base. 

Following the successful acquisitions of the operating Darlot 
Gold Mine and the nearby King of the Hills (KOTH) Gold Project 
in October 2017, Red 5 has progressed a production ramp-up at 
these operations and delivered a substantial increase in Mineral 
Resources and Ore Reserves with clear visibility to increase 
mine life further through the conversion of additional Mineral 
Resources to Ore Reserves, new discoveries and potential 
bolt-on acquisitions in the region. To this end, Red 5 is pursuing 
a substantial exploration campaign both at Darlot and KOTH. 

Through its Philippine-affiliated company Greenstone 
Resources Corporation, the Red 5 Group holds an interest in 
the Siana Gold Project, located on the island of Mindanao in the 
Philippines, which is held under a Mineral Production Sharing 
Agreement (MPSA). Mining operations at the Siana Gold Project 
are currently suspended pending an improvement in operating 
conditions in the Philippines.  The Siana Gold Project comprises 
an open pit and underground mine, CIL process plant and 
1.1Moz JORC Resource inventory. 

The Group’s second principal asset in the Philippines is the 
Mapawa MPSA, located 20 kms north of Siana, which has the 
potential to be developed as a satellite source of ore feed for 
the Siana processing plant.  Mapawa hosts a known gold 
porphyry system with numerous high-grade gold occurrences 
throughout the project area.

Our Vision
“Our vision is to be a successful multi-

operational exploration and mining company, 

providing benefits to all stakeholders, through 

the consistent application of technical 

excellence and responsible and sustainable 

industry practices.”

Year in Review

WEST AUSTRALIAN GOLD OPERATIONS
Overview

 • Acquisition of the Darlot Gold Mine and the King of the Hills 

(KOTH) Gold Project completed in October 2017.

 •

 •

The Darlot CIL mill is the cornerstone of Red 5’s Eastern 
Goldfields consolidation strategy, with the ore sourced 
from the Darlot and KOTH underground mines and 
potentially other future ore sources in the region. 

The ramp-up of gold production commenced with a strong 
performance from the Darlot mill and the start of 
underground mining and ramp-up of production at KOTH. 

 • Gold production for FY2018 (during production ramp-up) of 
48,259oz, recovered from a total of 458,835 tonnes of ore 
processed at an average head grade of 3.5g/t Au.

SIANA GOLD PROJECT, PHILIPPINES 

 •

 •

The Group continued to maintain environmental and 
regulatory compliance at the Siana Gold Project during the 
year following the suspension of open pit mining activities 
and underground development in April 2017. 

Following the end of the financial year, Red 5’s Philippine-
affiliated company, Greenstone Resources Corporation, 
was issued with a Clearance and Notice to Proceed from 
the Philippines Mines and Geoscience Bureau (MGB) to 
construct and operate Tailings Storage Facility 6 (TSF 6)  
at the Siana Gold Project.  Greenstone Resources is 
evaluating its preferred plan and options for the Siana Gold 
Project, including a revised mining strategy for the Siana 
open pit mine and required funding for the potential future 
recommencement of operations.

Mining and Processing

 • Strong operating performance at the Darlot underground 
mine, with the introduction of a flexible mining strategy to 
accommodate multiple underground orebodies and 
“right-sizing” of mining equipment.

 • New mine design completed to facilitate quick access to 
the newly-delineated high-grade Oval West deposit, with 
development commencing towards the end of FY2018 to 
provide access to high-grade ore stopes. 

 • De-bottlenecking initiatives at the Darlot processing plant 
resulted in the achievement of steady-state throughput of 
~1.0Mtpa (compared to nameplate 830ktpa).

Exploration and Resource Development 

 • Multi-pronged exploration and resource definition 

programs commenced at Darlot and KOTH, including 
targeting immediate extensions of the Oval deposit at 
Darlot, along strike of and below current workings. 

 • Outstanding results from the Oval drilling program resulted 
in an updated JORC 2012 Indicated and Inferred Resource 
for the Oval deposit.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 •

Total gold sales of 47,286 ounces for $77.1 million for 
FY2018. 

 • Net loss after tax of $11.9 million for the 12 months to 30 

June 2018.

 • Agreement reached for the sale of the Company’s royalty 
entitlement from the Mt Cattlin mine in Western Australia 
for a total consideration of $11 million. 

“Within the space of nine months, Red 5 has 
established itself as a new Australian gold miner  
– producing 48,259oz in its first three operational 
quarters of ramp-up of production, implementing a 
successful new mining strategy at Darlot, commencing 
underground mining at King of the Hills and updating 
the JORC Resource across both mines”

Message to Shareholders

from the Chairman 

Dear Shareholders 

I am pleased to report on what has been a busy, positive and 
rewarding year for Red 5. 

Following the dual-acquisition of the Darlot and King of the Hills 
gold mines in Western Australia in October 2017, we completed a 
smooth ownership transition and integration of the Darlot 
operation and workforce into the Red 5 Group. The speed, 
efficiency and professionalism of this process – which 
necessitated a rapid scale-up of our administrative systems – is a 
credit to our management and operations team.

Within the space of nine months, Red 5 has established itself as 
a new Australian gold miner – producing 48,259oz in its first three 
operational quarters of ramp-up of production, implementing a 
successful new flexible mining strategy at Darlot, commencing 
underground mining at King of the Hills with ore trucked for 
processing at the Darlot mill, updating the JORC Resource 
estimates across both mines to 1.6Moz and declaring a 
combined 307,000oz Ore Reserve.

Our operational strategy is to maintain the Darlot processing 
plant at full production capacity with ore from Darlot and KOTH, 
while pursuing opportunities to grow both mine life and 
production through Resource conversion, new discoveries and 
potential bolt-on acquisitions in the region. 

The strong performance of the Darlot mill – which achieved 
steady-state throughput of ~1Mtpa during the year – is the 
cornerstone to this strategy. The continued efficient operation of 
this centrally located treatment facility, combined with a rising 
grade profile at Darlot as we access the new high-grade Oval 
mining sector, will assist in maximising production, improve 
recoveries and drive down unit operating costs. 

Like many highly-endowed WA gold projects, both Darlot and 
KOTH are extensive, multi-million-ounce gold systems which 
offer opportunities for Resource and Reserve growth as a result 
of sustained and focused exploration. To that end, we embarked 
on an aggressive and multi-pronged exploration effort during the 
year which has already yielded tangible results. 

Near-mine extensional drilling in the Oval sector (one of the main 
high-grade ore sources at Darlot) returned outstanding results 
immediately along strike and down-plunge from current mining 
areas, leading to an updated Resource estimate for this area. 
New mine development is already being put in place to access 
this high-grade zone, which will be a significant contributor to our 
production profile over the next two years. 

Our exploration team has also defined multiple near-surface 
targets, some of which represent shallow oxide resource targets, 
while others could emerge as genuine exploration “game-
changers”. 

In the meantime, our strategy of preserving the value of the Siana 
Gold Project in the Philippines has proved to be a prudent one. In 
early August 2018, Red 5 Philippine-affiliated company, 
Greenstone Resources Corporation, received a long-awaited 
clearance to proceed with construction and operation of an 
interim Tailings Storage Facility 6 (TSF6). Greenstone Resources 
is actively evaluating plans for a possible future restart of mining 
and production at Siana and options to maximise the inherent 
value of the in-situ gold inventory and high-quality infrastructure. 

Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, we announced 
the appointment of Steve Tombs to the Board as a non-executive 
director following his retirement from his executive role as 
General Manager Operations for the Group. Steve played a key 
role in the successful implementation of our Eastern Goldfields 
strategy, and we look forward to his ongoing contribution as a 
member of the Board. 

In conclusion, I would like to acknowledge the significant effort 
and hard work during the year of all of our staff and contractors, 
both in the Philippines and Australia, led by our Managing 
Director, Mark Williams. 

It is thanks to their tireless efforts – and particularly the hard work 
and commitment of the mining, processing and operational 
teams at Darlot and KOTH over the course of the year – that the 
Red 5 Group moves into the new financial year in a strong 
position, with valuable mining assets, an extensive gold inventory 
and a strong growth pipeline.

I would also like to thank you, our valued shareholders, for your 
ongoing support.

Red 5 Limited 2018 Annual Report

Message to Shareholders

from the Managing Director 

After completing the landmark acquisitions of the Darlot and King 
of the Hills (KOTH) gold mines in early October 2017, Red 5 made 
a strong start as a Western Australian gold producer during the 
2018 financial year.

The start of underground mining at King of the Hills in January 
2018 marked the beginning of an important transitional period, 
with the Group making a significant investment in both mine 
development and exploration as we progressively ramp-up the 
combined Darlot and KOTH operations, with KOTH ore mining 
expected to reach full capacity within the September Quarter 
2018. 

This production outlook for the 2019 financial year is supported 
by a strong commitment to exploration on several fronts, 
including underground exploration at Darlot and KOTH. These 
programs have already generated encouraging results to date.

While we continue to focus on optimising and growing our 
Western Australian gold operations, the Red 5 Group also retains 
its interest in the Siana Gold Project in the Philippines, where the 
recent receipt of a key regulatory clearance for the Siana Gold 
Project could pave the way for a potential restart of mining 
operations in the future and options to maximise the inherent 
value of the Philippine asset base.

EASTERN GOLDFIELDS, WESTERN 
AUSTRALIA

As outlined in last year’s annual report, Red 5 has embarked on a 
major new growth strategy in the Eastern Goldfields region of 
Western Australia following the successful acquisition of the 
operating Darlot Gold Mine from a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
South African-based gold producer Gold Fields Limited (Gold 
Fields) (JSE, NYSE: GFI) and the advanced King of the Hills Gold 
Project from West Australian gold producer Saracen Mineral 
Holdings Limited (Saracen) (ASX: SAR). 

These acquisitions, which were completed on 2 October 2017, 
have provided Red 5 with an extensive strategic footprint in the 
world-class Leonora-Leinster mineral district of Western 
Australia, with the ability to leverage this position by pursuing a 
regional consolidation strategy based around the Darlot mill as a 
central processing hub.

With the completion of the acquisition of the Darlot mining 
operation, the ownership transition and integration of the 
operation and existing workforce were completed by the end of 
2017. Underground mining commenced at King of the Hills in 
early 2018 and the major focus during the year was on the 
ramp-up of the combined operations to achieve steady-state 
commercial production.

The Company’s Stage 1 development plan is to maximise 
throughput at the Darlot mill over an initial 3-4 year period by 
processing ore from both the Darlot and KOTH underground 
mining operations. Stage 2 will centre on increasing the 
Company’s Reserve base in the Eastern Goldfields through 
regional exploration within the tenement footprint acquired under 
the Darlot and KOTH transactions, as well as assessing 
additional development opportunities within the region.

To this end, Red 5 acquired the prospective Ockerburry Hill 
tenement EL36/865 from global gold miner AngloGold Ashanti 
during the year. This strategically located tenement is located 
20km from Darlot and offers potential for new discoveries and 
brings Red 5’s tenement footprint in the Goldfields to 36,489ha.

Production summary

A total of 48,259 ounces of gold was 
recovered for the 12 months to 30 
June 2018 with ore sourced 
predominantly from the Darlot Gold 
Mine and a growing contribution from 
the King of the Hills satellite 
underground mine towards the end of 
the reporting period. 

A summary of key production

Processing

The performance of the  
processing plant at Darlot  
supports Red 5’s aim to fully utilise 
mill capacity to reduce unit operating 
costs. The processing plant 
performed strongly during the period 
and gold recoveries were generally in 
line with expectations.  

The mill achieved an average 
throughput of 115tph in the June 2018 
Quarter, resulting in a record of 
78,611 tonnes being milled for the 
month of June 2018. Daily mill 
throughputs in excess of 130tph have 
also been achieved on a sustained 
basis, resulting in a new Darlot record 
for 24-hour milled tonnes of 3,249t in 
June 2018, equating to an annual 
throughput rate in excess of 1.1Mtpa, 
compared to nameplate of 0.83Mtpa.

Mining activities 

A key part of Red 5’s Stage 1 
development plan for Darlot is to 
mine a number of different areas in 
the upper and mid-levels of the mine 
which had previously been 
considered to have been sterilised. 

Figure 2:  Plan view of the Darlot lodes showing location of key mining and development areas.

This program delivered promising early results, with stopes in the first three extensions to 
existing mining areas (Marsh, Walters and Bradman) exceeding expectations in terms of 
mined tonnages and grade (see Figure 2). 

Ore was sourced from multiple working areas during the reporting period including the higher 
grade Oval orebody, located within the Centenary underground mining area at Darlot. 
Remnant mining in the Marsh, Walters and Bradman areas continued during the year, 
producing high to mid-grade ore supplementing material from the primary Oval orebody.  

Ore drive development commenced during the year on the Oval 655 and Oval 723 ore drives 
(see Figure 3), with bulk stoping of the new ore zone scheduled to commence in October 
2018. Oval West is expected to become an important source of high-grade ore feed for the 
Darlot operation over the next two years.

Three new Volvo A45G articulated trucks 
were mobilised to Darlot during the 
reporting period under a 36-month 
lease-to-buy arrangement (see Figure 4). 
This represented the first significant capital 
investment ($2.3 million) at Darlot for 
several years.

KING OF THE HILLS PROJECT
Mining activities 

The underground mining contract was awarded to experienced underground 
mining contractors, Pit n Portal Mining Services.  The contract is a standard 
fixed and variable three-year mining contract.  Underground mining 
commenced at KOTH in early January 2018, with initial production coming 
from the northern end of the mine in a continuation of the historical 
operations of St Barbara (2011-2015) and Saracen (2016) (Figure 5). Saracen 
had suspended operations in January 2017, leaving broken ore in stopes 
and development headings in ore, providing an inventory that allowed a 
rapid production re-start for Red 5 in 2018.

The ramp-up of production progressed well during the reporting period, with 
the KOTH underground mine contributing 8,962 ounces for the year to the 
Company’s production profile. 

Airleg mining has been undertaken to access narrow, high-grade 
mineralised veins at KOTH, together with development of 3m by 3m drives to 
access additional bays for stoping. Production from these veins contributed 
a total of 3,780 ounces towards production from KOTH during the reporting 
period. Based on the success of these narrow vein mining techniques, over 
170 mineralised veins are currently being remodelled.

EXPLORATION AND RESOURCE 
DEVELOPMENT
Darlot Gold Mine – Initial JORC 2012 Mineral 
Resource 

Red 5 completed an extensive review of the previously reported 
SAMREC estimates for the Darlot mine completed by the 
previous owner and reported a maiden JORC 2012 for Darlot in 
December 2017.  A further update was reported in August 2018 
with the Darlot resource and reserve further increased to a 
Mineral Resource of 6.2Mt @ 4.8g/t Au for 949koz of contained 
gold with the updated Ore Reserve of 1.92Mt @ 3.5g/t Au for 
219koz of contained gold (including stockpiles).

A resource estimate for King of the Hills was also reported 
following underground drilling that commenced in January 2018, 
with a Mineral Resource of 3.89Mt @ 5.3g/t Au for 658koz of 
contained gold and a maiden Ore Reserve of 0.71Mt @ 3.9g/t Au 
for 88koz of contained gold.

Darlot exploration 

The presence of numerous ore grade intercepts over multiple 
prospect areas combined with potential to both extend existing 
deposits and discover new deposits, presents a significant 
exploration opportunity. This is supported by a vast drilling and 
exploration database, including comprehensive cutting-edge 3D 
seismic studies, structural modelling, geophysical surveys and 
geochemical fingerprinting based on historical drill chips and 
field mapping. 

Exploration activities during the reporting period were prioritised 
around:

 • Near-mine extensional opportunities of existing deposits and 

mining areas;

 • Surface targets offering the potential for significant new 
discoveries and repetitions of the Darlot and Centenary 
orebodies;

 • Targets generated by the 3D seismic surveys completed over 

the Darlot tenements last year; and 

 • Potential open pit oxide targets associated with a series of 

small historical pre-JORC 2012 resources. 

Oval diamond drilling 

The Oval workings are located at the bottom of the Oval structure 
which is part of the Centenary underground mining area at Darlot 
(Figures 8 and 9). The Oval workings commenced production in 
February 2017, with this sector of the mine representing a main 
source of high-grade ore feed to the Darlot plant.

An underground diamond drilling program commenced in 
January 2018 targeting the Oval structure, located along strike 
from the current Oval underground workings, with further holes 
targeting down dip of the Oval resource after completion of these 
holes.

Figure 7:   DDH1 drilling at KOTH for metallurgical heap leach samples.

Initial development activities at KOTH focused on establishing 
and extending the central decline and towards the new southern 
orebodies, initially targeting the Riverrun and Theon lodes. This 
development also intersected and exposed two other potential 
ore sources in the Gilly and Aggo Lodes.

Sterilisation drilling for the Regal decline intersected ore, resulting 
in an 80m extension to the mining region and redesign of the 
decline and take-off position on the Link Drive. Development of 
this decline commenced during the June 2018 Quarter following 
dewatering of the Link Drive and re-establishment of services.  
A new Sandvik DD321 jumbo was mobilised to KOTH, which  
will allow for a reduction in the widths of ore development to  
3.8 metres thereby reducing dilution.

Recent exploration drilling at King of the Hills has delivered an 
important breakthrough in the Company’s understanding of the 
structure and controls of gold mineralisation in the region.  The 
drilling has confirmed the presence of a significant gold-bearing 
zone of tension veins and stockworks located close to an existing 
mining area. It has also demonstrated that drilling in a northerly/
southerly direction in the region of the granitoid/ultramafic 
contact is optimal for picking up these vein stockworks, which 
would be missed by drilling perpendicular to the contact. 

Heap leach amenability test work was undertaken on ore 
samples from the KOTH project, with positive initial results 
indicating the potential for heap leaching of lower grade ores 
from both the underground and ore which can be accessed via  
a cut-back on the historical open pit.  Preliminary Intermittent 
Bottle Roll (IBR) test work indicates >70% gold recovery is 
achievable at typical heap leach operating conditions.  
Second stage column test work is currently underway.

Drilling identified two prominent shoots below the 655m level with 
good mineralisation being developed along the contact along the 
lower portion of the magnetic dolerite and the Oval Fault with 
another shoot being developed proximal to the Gardner Fault 
with the shoot following the intersection trend between the 
Gardner Fault and the magnetic dolerite with mineralisation 
generally being maintained within the magnetic dolerite.

Oval Resource and Reserve update

Following the successful near-mine drilling program, Red 5 
completed an updated Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource 
estimate for the Oval mining area.  Ore drive development is 
already underway, with bulk stoping of the new ore zone 
scheduled to commence in October 2018. Oval West is expected 
to become an important source of high-grade ore feed for the 
Darlot operation over the next two years. 

around Waikato South, with the aim to test the continuity of 
mineralisation along the southern portion of the Waikato 
structural corridor. 

Encouraging initial assays were received from this program, 
demonstrating good continuity of mineralisation along strike, 
highlighting the potential of the Waikato South orebody and 
indicating potential to expand the historical resource along strike 
between the Waikato and Waikato South prospects (see Figure 10). 

The Waikato South historical resource remains open to the 
north-west, the north-east and at depth, and offers potential 
extensional opportunities outside and below the current scoping 
study open pits.

Deep diamond drilling

Red 5 undertook a 
near-mine and regional 
deep diamond drilling 
program at Darlot 
targeting new discoveries 
that could be developed 
as satellite open pit and/or 
underground mines to 
supplement ore feed to 
the Darlot mill. Deep holes 
were completed at: 

 • The Aurora target, 

located approximately 
1km south-east of the 
Centenary mine at 
Darlot; 

 • The Waikato – IP 
Lords/Oval mine 
corridor targeting a 
strong 1.5km-long IP 
chargeability zone 
located 2km southwest 
of the Darlot mine; and

 • The Waikato Thrust 
target, located 2km 
from the Darlot mill.

Drilling across the Waikato 
Trend was also completed, 
comprising 122 RC holes 
drilled for a total of 
6,254m. The program was 
designed to in-fill drill at 
20m x 20m spacing within 
open pit shells developed 
from previous 80m x 40m 
spaced exploration drilling

Diamond drilling commenced 
at KOTH in January 2018, with 
the aim of improving geological 
confidence along strike and 
down-dip of multiple lodes in 
the North and Central mining 
areas, and in-filling and 
extending the current Resource 
model.  

Results were encouraging, 
delivering high grades over 
narrow intervals, which is 
consistent with high-grade 
narrow vein structures 
observed over certain areas of 
the KOTH project. Visible gold 
was observed in drill core from 
several locations (see Figure

Greenstone Resources is evaluating its preferred plan and 
options for the Siana Gold Project, including a revised mining 
strategy for the Siana open pit mine and required funding for the 
potential future recommencement of operations. An important 
part of these considerations will be the current Philippine 
Government’s mining policy. 

Exploration activities – Mapawa Project 

Two diamond drill-holes at the Mapawa Project were completed 
to comply with licence commitments and to progress ongoing 
Feasibility Studies on a potential future open pit development at 
the Mapawa project, as a supplementary satellite source of ore 
feed to the Siana operations.

CORPORATE
Takeover Bid for Bullseye Mining Limited

On 19 February 2018, Red 5 announced a conditional off-market 
takeover bid for all of shares in Bullseye Mining Limited.  Bullseye 
is an unlisted public company whose Western Australian-based 
gold portfolio includes the Laverton Project, located ~30km to 
the north of the Darlot Gold Mine.  The proposed transaction is 
consistent with Red 5’s Eastern Goldfields consolidation strategy, 
given the proximity of the Laverton Project to the centrally 
located processing facility at Darlot.

Bullseye shareholders are being offered one fully paid ordinary 
share in Red 5 for every five Bullseye shares they hold. Further 
details of the transaction are outlined in the Bidders Statement 
lodged with ASX on 17 April 2018.  The offer currently remains 
open until 16 November 2018.

Sale of Mt Cattlin royalty

During the period, the Company entered into an agreement for 
the sale of its royalty entitlement from the Mt Cattlin mine in 
Western Australia to Canadian royalty company, Lithium Royalty 
Corporation (LRC).  Red 5 owned the right to receive a royalty of 
$1.50 per tonne of ore processed from the Mt Cattlin mine which 
is owned and operated by ASX-listed Galaxy Resources Limited 
(Galaxy Resources).  The sale consideration comprised $11 
million which was received in July 2018.

Cash balance 

The Group’s cash balance, including bullion on hand at the end 
of June 2018 was $12.9 million.  A gold loan facility of 5,015 
ounces for net proceeds of approximately $8.2 million was 
entered into in September 2018. 

Summary and outlook

The past year has been an exceptionally active period for Red 5, 
with the Company completing the Darlot and KOTH acquisitions, 
successfully integrating these new mines and operational teams 
into the Red 5 Group, and embarking on exploration and 
development programs to advance the Company’s Eastern 
Goldfields consolidation and growth strategy. 

The reported increases in the Mineral Resources and Ore 
Reserves base will generate significant production growth, with a 
clear mine life visibility of at least three years and significant 
opportunities for further Resource and Reserve expansion.  
Ongoing operational and cost efficiency programmes are 
continuing aimed at reducing operating costs. 

In parallel with our activities in the Eastern Goldfields, careful 
consideration is being given to the next steps to maximise the 
value of the Group’s investment in the Siana Gold Project in the 
Philippines, in light of the receipt of clearance for the construction 
and operation of a new tailings storage facility.

We move into FY2019 with a positive outlook. Our gold 
operations in the Eastern Goldfields are now approaching 
steady-state production, we have an expanding Reserve base to 
underpin initial mine life, we have a pipeline of brownfields and 
greenfields exploration targets to be progressively tested over 
the coming months, and we are now in a position to consider the 
best options to deliver value from our significant asset base in the 
Philippines.

This is a great result by the Red 5 team and I would like to 
sincerely acknowledge the outstanding efforts of our entire team 
of staff and contractors in delivering this impressive outcome. I 
would also like to acknowledge the strong ongoing support of our 
shareholders. 

This is an exciting period for Red 5, and we can all look to the 
future with great drive and enthusiasm.

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN GOLD OPERATIONS

During the 2018 financial year, Red 5 acquired the Darlot Gold 
Mine from Gold Fields Australia and the King of the Hills project 
from Saracen Mineral Holdings, with both projects located in the 
Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.  The underground 
operations from the two mines provide feed for the Darlot 
processing plant with the ore mined from King of the Hills being 
transported by road trains to Darlot.  

In December 2017, Red 5 reported maiden JORC 2012 mineral 
resources and ore reserve estimates for the Darlot mine. In 
August 2018, the Darlot resource and reserve estimates were 
further updated.  The King of the Hills resource and ore reserve 
estimates were also updated in August 2018 following 
underground drilling programmes which commenced in  
January 2018.

Ore Reserves for the King of the Hills mine are a maiden release for Red 5.

PHILIPPINE OPERATIONS
SIANA GOLD PROJECT

An annual review and update to the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates for the year ended 30 June 2018 has been 
undertaken, with no resultant change from the figures quoted at 30 June 2017.  

Open pit mining operations at the Siana project were suspended in April 2017 due to ongoing uncertainty regarding regulatory and 
government mining policy in the Philippines.  Pending completion of standard local permitting requirements and construction of a new 
Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) and in compliance with JORC 2012 reporting criteria, no JORC 2012 Reserve estimate for the Siana open 
pit is reported as at 30 June 2018.  The underground Reserve is not impacted by the unavailability of surface tailings storage capacity, 
as the underground development is based on cemented tailings produced through the Siana processing plant being back-filled into 
stoped-out areas.  The non-reporting of an open pit Reserve does not impact the reporting of the remaining Siana open pit and 
underground resources.

The underground Probable Reserve as at 30 June 2018 is 3.01Mt @ 4.1 g/t gold for 396koz of contained gold, which underpins the 
planned development of an underground mine directly below the existing open pit to extract 0.5Mt of ore per annum for processing 
through the existing Siana processing plant.

Governance and internal controls

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are estimated either by 
suitably qualified consultants or internal personnel in accordance 
with the applicable JORC Code and using industry standard 
techniques and internal guidelines for the estimation and reporting 
of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.  All data is collected in 
accordance with applicable JORC Code requirements.  Ore 
Reserve estimates are based on pre-feasibility or feasibility 
studies which consider all material factors.  

The estimates and supporting data and documentation are 
reviewed by qualified Competent Persons (including estimation 
methodology, sampling, analytical and test data).  

General notes on Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
Mineral Resources are quoted as inclusive of Ore Reserves and Ore Reserves are 
quoted as inclusive of Mineral Resources.  Discrepancy in summation may occur due 
to rounding.  All ROM stocks and underground stocks quoted are classified as 
Indicated material and as a Probable reserve.  Figures take into account mining 
depletion as at 30 June 2018.

Notes on Darlot Underground JORC 2012 Mineral Resources 
and Ore Reserves
Mineral Resources:

1.   The updated JORC 2012 Underground Reserve expected marginal cut off will 

range between <2.0 to 2.3 g/t Au.

2. 

The Darlot Resource figures quoted are the sum of the Centenary, Pederson, 
Pederson South, Lords South Lower, Oval and Burswood underground mine 
working areas.

4.  Most of the Mineral Resources are currently being mined, and the Burswood 
deposit is situated adjacent to current underground workings and mine 
development has commenced to target this deposit.

Ore Reserves:

1.   Gold price of A$1,650 used in the calculations of the Darlot Ore Reserves.

2.   Current processing recoveries at the Darlot processing plant range between 

93% to 94% for Au.

3.   No Inferred Resources have been used in the derivation of the Ore Reserve 

estimate.

4. 

External dilution of 20% has been applied.

Notes on KOTH Underground JORC 2012 Mineral Resources 
and Ore Reserves
Mineral Resources: 

1.   The updated JORC 2012 Underground Reserve expected mining cut off is 2.0 

g/t Au.

2.  ROM stocks are reported as Indicated material.

Ore Reserves:

1.   Gold price of A$1,650 used in the calculations of the Darlot Ore Reserves.

2.   Current processing recoveries at the Darlot processing plant range between 

93% to 94% for Au.

3.   No Inferred Resources have been used in the derivation of the Ore Reserve 

estimate.

4. 

External dilution of 20% has been applied.

Notes on Siana Open Pit JORC 2012 Mineral Resources and Ore 
Reserves
1. 

The Open Pit Resource has only been reported above the June 2016 stage 4 pit 
design.

2. 

The resource gold cut-off is based on the Open Pit Ore Reserve marginal cut-off 
grade of 0.7 g/t gold whilst operating which was based on a gold price of 
US$1,200/oz and silver price of US15/oz, along with a PHP:USD exchange rate 
of 47:1.

3. 

The Open Pit resource model has been lithologically defined and is suitable for 
bulk mining evaluation and not suited for “narrow vein” mine evaluation.

4.  Within the open pit resource block model a 15% upgrade factor on gold values 

above 1.2 g/t has been applied. Actual mill reconciliation is closer to 25%.  As a 
result, the variance between the upgrade factor and mill reconciliation has been 
used as a de facto dilution factor.  The Siana Open Pit Ore Reserve was mined 
using conventional open pit mining methods using top hammer drill rigs, CAT 40 
tonne articulated Dump Trucks and 85 tonne class hydraulic excavators. The 
same conventional open pit methods will be used upon recommencement of 
open pit mining operations.

5.  ROM material ounces quoted in the open pit reserve table are based on 

contained metal.  Processing recoveries of 85% for gold and 40% for silver are 
used mine and financial planning. 

6. 

Following the suspension of mining operations at the Siana project and pending 
construction of a new TSF, no JORC 2012 Open Pit Reserve statement has been 
reported as at 30 June 2018.

Red 5 Limited 2018 Annual Report

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (continued)

Notes on Siana Underground JORC 2012 Mineral Resources 
and Ore Reserves
1. 

The resource for this model has only been reported below the Stage 4 Final 
Open Pit (-130m level) for the June 2016 figures.

Notes on Mapawa JORC 2012 Mineral Resources
1. 

The Mapawa LSY deposit was independently estimated by geological 
consultants, Optiro Pty Ltd

2. 

The figures take into account historic mining depletion.

2. 

3. 

The Underground Mineral Resource estimate was prepared by Mining One Pty 
Ltd.

For grade estimation, the updated Siana underground resource has been 
constrained based on the geological interpretation which coincides with a 
nominal 1.0 g/t Au threshold grade. Zones of internal waste within some zones 
graded less than 1.0 g/t Au over a nominal two metres length and were 
interpreted and estimated separately.

4. 

The Siana Underground Resource model is suitable for underground mining 
evaluation below the Stage 4 final open pit.

5.  Reserves have been reported below the Stage 4 Final Pit (-130m level) as at 

March 2016 design.

6.  No Inferred Resources have been used in the derivation of the Ore Reserve 

estimate.  A cut-off grade of 2.4 g/t Au has been applied for the underground 
ore reserves.  

7.  Reserve ounces quoted are based on contained metal.  Processing recoveries of 

89% for gold and 45% for silver are used mine and financial planning.

properties for the Siana Gold Project of $99.8 million).

Project description

Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd and the King of the Hills gold 
projects were acquired by the Group on 2 October 2017. Darlot 
gold mine is located approximately 900 kilometres north-east of 
Perth in Western Australia and the King of the Hills gold project is

Philippines Mines and Geoscience Bureau (MGB) to construct 
and operate Tailings Storage Facility 6 (TSF 6) at the Siana Gold 
Project in the Philippines. 

The Philippines Environmental Management Bureau has  
also amended the co-ordinates of Greenstone Resources’ 
Environmental Compliance Certificate for the Siana Gold Project 
to include the proposed area of TSF 6, which will allow construction 
and operation of TSF 6 to proceed, subject to the completion of 
standard local construction permitting requirements. TSF 6, 
which is the initial tailings storage facility planned for Siana, has 
an expected capacity of 1 million tonnes of tailings.

The consolidated entity recorded an operating loss before tax of

Red 5 Limited 2018 Annual Report

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Directors’ Report (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

This report sets out the current remuneration arrangements for 
Directors and executives of Red 5.  For the purposes of this 
report, key management personnel (KMP) are defined as those 
persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing 
and controlling major activities of the consolidated entity, 
including any Director (whether Executive or Non-Executive)  
of Red 5.

The structure of remuneration packages for the Managing 
Director and other senior executives comprises:

 • a fixed sum base salary plus superannuation benefits;

 • short term incentives linked to annual planning and longer 

term objectives; and

 • long term incentives through participation in performance 

based equity plans, with the prior approval of shareholders to 
the extent required.

The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration is established 
for the Managing Director and senior executives by the 
remuneration committee and is linked to both relevant market 
practices and the degree to which the Board intends participants 
to focus on short and long term outcomes.  

The objective of short term incentives is to link achievement of 
Red 5’s annual targets for outcomes linked to Red 5’s strategy, or 
which clearly build shareholder value, with the remuneration 
received by executives charged with meeting those targets. The 
short term incentive is an “at risk” component of remuneration for 
key management personnel and is payable based on 
performance against key performance indicators set at the 
beginning of each financial year. Targets are intended to be 
challenging but achievable and may or may not be linked to 
budget, depending on whether or not the budget is viewed by the 
Board as meeting this definition.

The objective of long term incentives is to promote alignment 
between executives and shareholders through the holding of 
equity.  As such, long term incentives are only granted to 
executives who are able to directly influence the generation of 
shareholder wealth, or who are in a position to contribute to 
shareholder wealth creation.

As the operations of the Group expand, the Board continues to 
progressively develop remuneration policies and practices that 
appropriately link remuneration to company performance and 
shareholder wealth, given the circumstances of Red 5 at the time.  
This includes a long term incentive scheme whereby 
Performance Rights will be granted with a measurement period 
of three years with vesting conditions comprising TSR and 
agreed operational measures including gold production and 
strategic targets.  The TSR measure is subject to a positive TSR 
gate and that other measures are subject to a production or 
financial gate. The Group’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) is 
measured as a percentile ranking compared to the S&P/ASX All 
Ordinaries Gold Index.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount 
of remuneration

Directors and executives remuneration

Red 5’s remuneration policies are designed to align executives’ 
remuneration with shareholders’ interests and to retain 
appropriately qualified executive talent for the benefit of Red 5.  
The main principles of the policy are:

 • fixed remuneration should be set around the middle of the 

relevant market data, at P50/50th percentile;

 • reward reflects the competitive market in which Red 5 

operates;

 • for executives, individual reward should be linked to 

performance criteria through variable remuneration, and

 –

 –

at target, which is intended to be a challenging but 
achievable performance, the combination of fixed 
remuneration and the outcomes of variable remuneration 
should position Total Remuneration Packages between 
P50 and P75 of the market, 

variable remuneration should generally be offered in the 
form of separate short (1 year) and long term (3 year) 
incentives; and

 • Non-Executive Directors should not receive remuneration 
related to performance or participate in any executive 
incentive plan.

Overall remuneration policies are determined by the Board  
and are adapted to reflect competitive market and business 
conditions.  Within this framework, the remuneration committee 
considers remuneration policies and practices generally, and 
determines specific remuneration packages and other terms of 
employment for the Managing Director and senior executives.  
Executive remuneration and other terms of employment are 
reviewed annually by the committee having regard to 
performance, relevant comparative information and  
expert advice.

Red 5’s remuneration policy for the Managing Director and senior 
executives is designed to promote superior performance and 
long term commitment to Red 5, while building sustainable 
shareholder value.  Remuneration packages are set at levels that 
are intended to attract and retain executives capable of 
managing Red 5’s operations.  The Managing Director and senior 
executives receive a base remuneration which is market related, 
together with performance based remuneration linked to the 
achievement of pre-determined milestones and targets.

Red 5 Limited 2018 Annual Report

19

Directors’ Report (continued)

Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to participate in 
performance based remuneration schemes.  However, the Board 
proposes to seek annual shareholder reapproval for a Non-
Executive Directors’ share plan, under which Non-Executive 
Directors can elect to receive a portion of their existing Directors 
fees in shares in Red 5.  All Directors are entitled to have 
premiums on indemnity insurance paid by Red 5. During the 
financial year, Red 5 paid premiums of $204,283 (2017: $202,369) 
to insure the Directors and other officers of the consolidated 
entity.  The liabilities insured are for costs and expenses that may 
be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be 
brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of entities 
in the consolidated entity.

Share-based compensation

The Board has adopted the Red 5 Employee Share Option Plan 
(ESOP) and a Rights Plan.  The primary purposes of these plans 
are to increase the motivation of employees, promote the 
retention of employees, align employee interests with those of 
Red 5 and its shareholders and to reward employees who 
contribute to the growth of Red 5. The Red 5 Rights Plan is 
appropriately utilised for offers of both deferred short term 
incentives (Service and Deferred Rights) and long term incentives 
(Performance Rights).  Specific performance hurdles or vesting 
schedules are determined by the Board at the time of grant under 
the ESOP or Rights Plan in the case of LTI, and are aligned with 
the stage of development and operations of the Group and 
market conditions and practices.

Red 5’s share trading policy prohibits key management personnel 
that are granted share-based payments as part of their 
remuneration, from entering into other arrangements that limit 
their exposure to losses that would result from share price 
decreases.  Entering into such arrangements is also prohibited  
by law.

Performance incentives may be offered to the Managing Director 
and senior executives through the operation of incentive 
schemes.  The short term incentive is offered annually, set as a 
percentage of annual salary, payment of which is conditional 
upon the achievement of agreed key performance indicators 
(KPIs) for each executive, which comprise a combination of 
agreed milestones and financial measures.  These milestones are 
selected from group, functional/unit and individual level 
objectives, each weighted to reflect their relative importance and 
each with targets linked to the Board’s expectations and with 
threshold, target and stretch levels set where possible (some 
KPIs are binary and are either achieved or not achieved). The 
KPIs comprise financial and non-financial objectives and include 
out-performance against the annual operating budget, health and 
safety targets and specific operations-related milestones.  
Measures chosen directly align the individual’s reward to the KPIs 
of the group and to its strategy and performance.  The plan also 
has a financial gate to ensure that no performance bonus is 
payable when it would be inappropriate or unaffordable to do so.  
Any award under the STI for the Managing Director is subject to 
deferral at a rate of 50% of the award, to be delivered in the form 
of Service or Deferred Rights, subject to shareholder approval, if 
required.  The Service and Deferred Rights are intended to 
prevent the equity being sold for a period of 12 to 24 months 
(respectively).  The purpose of deferral is to manage the risk of 
short-termism inherent in setting short term objectives, to 
promote sustainable value creation and to build further alignment 
with shareholders.

Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration

In accordance with current corporate governance practices, the 
structure for the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors and 
senior executives is separate and distinct.  Shareholders approve 
the maximum aggregate remuneration payable to Non-Executive 
Directors, with the current approved limit being $500,000 per 
annum.  The remuneration committee recommends the actual 
payments to Directors and the Board is responsible for ratifying 
any recommendations.  The current fee policy is as follows:

 • the Chair receives fees of $120,000 per annum plus 

superannuation; 

 • Non-Executive Directors receive $90,000 per annum plus 

superannuation; 

 • Chairs of Board committees receive:

 –

 –

$10,000 per annum plus superannuation for the audit 
committee, and

$5,000 per annum plus superannuation for other 
committees; 

 • committee members are not paid any additional fee;  

 • Non-Executive Directors are entitled to statutory 

superannuation benefits; and  

 • the Board approves any consultancy arrangements for 

Non-Executive Directors who provide services outside of and 
in addition to their duties as Non-Executive Directors.

the year ended 30 June 2018 including achievement of core EBITDA targets, completion of the acquisition of the Darlot and King of the 
Hills gold mines, the achievement of gold production and cost targets for the financial year and individual effectiveness.  The amount 
vested represents 90% of the available target bonus with the balance being forfeited due to performance criteria not being met. The 
financial gate of a minimum level of gold production based on a challenging work plan and operating budget was exceeded.  50% of the 
performance bonus is payable in share rights for Mr Williams and Mr Tasovac, with the issue of share rights to Mr Williams subject to

Other transactions with Directors

Consulting fees of $28,800 were paid to Ian Macpherson, a

The consultancy agreement concluded on 15 September 2017.

There were no other transactions during the year between the 
consolidated entity and Directors or their Director-related entities.

Services from remuneration consultants

During the financial year, the Remuneration Committee engaged 
Godfrey Remuneration Group (GRG) as independent 
remuneration consultants to provide a market benchmarking 
report on chief executive officer remuneration levels and a review 
of short term and long term incentive schemes for senior 
executives and plan documents. Remuneration 
recommendations were provided to the Remuneration 
Committee as an input into the decision making process.  
The Remuneration Committee considered the recommendations 
in conjunction with other factors in making its remuneration 
determinations. The Remuneration Committee is satisfied that 
the advice received from GRG is free from undue influence from 
the KMP to whom the remuneration recommendations apply, as 
GRG were engaged by and reported directly to the Chair of the 
Remuneration Committee with no involvement by the KMP.  
GRG also made the required independence declarations in their 
reports, which indicated that the consultant viewed the advice as 
free from undue influence from the KMP that were the subject of 
the advice. The fee for this service was $24,700.

End of Audited Remuneration Report.

Red 5 Limited 2018 Annual Report

Directors’ Report (continued)

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

During the year, Red 5’s external auditors, KPMG, have provided 
other services in addition to their statutory audit function.  Non 
audit services provided by the external auditors comprised 
$544,200 (2017: $30,188) for non audit services.  Further details 
of remuneration of the auditors are set out in Note 22.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided 
during the year and is satisfied that the provision of those 
services is compatible with the general standard of 
independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act and 
did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of 
the Corporations Act, for the following reasons:

 • All non-audit services were subject to the corporate 

governance guidelines adopted by Red 5;

 • Non-audit services have been reviewed by the audit 

committee to ensure that they do not impact the impartiality 
or objectivity of the auditor; and

 • The non-audit services provided do not undermine the 

general principles relating to auditor independence as set out 
in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as 
they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own 
work, acting in a management or decision making capacity, 
acting as an advocate for Red 5 or jointly sharing economic 
risks and rewards.

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required 
under section 307C of the Corporations Act is included 
immediately following the Directors’ Report and forms part of the 
Directors’ Report.

The consolidated entity is subject to significant environmental 
regulation in respect to its mineral exploration activities.  These 
obligations are regulated under relevant government authorities 
within Australia and Philippines.  The consolidated entity is a 
party to exploration and development licences and has beneficial 
interests in Mineral Production Sharing Agreements.  Generally, 
these licences and agreements specify the environmental 
regulations applicable to exploration and mining operations in the 
respective jurisdictions.  The consolidated entity aims to ensure 
that it complies with the identified regulatory requirements in 
each jurisdiction in which it operates.

Compliance with environmental obligations is monitored by the 
Board of Directors.  No environmental breaches have been 
notified to the consolidated entity by any government agency 
during the year ended 30 June 2018.  

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

Red 5 Limited 2018 Annual Report

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2018

1.  REPORTING ENTITY

Red 5 Limited (the “Company”) is a for profit company domiciled 
in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is 
Level 2 35 Ventnor Avenue, West Perth, Western Australia. The 
consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for 
the year ended 30 June 2018 comprise the Company and its 
subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities (together 
referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”). 
The Group is primarily involved in the exploration and mining  
of gold.

2.  bASIS OF PREPARATION

2.1  Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose 
financial statements which have been prepared in accordance 
with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the 
Corporations Act 2001.  The consolidated financial statements 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) 
adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue 
by the Board of Directors on 21 September 2018.

2.2  Going Concern

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

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group recorded an 
operating loss after tax of $11.9 million and net cash outflows 
from operating and investing activities of $10.7 million for the year 
ended 30 June 2018 and at balance date, had net working capital 
deficit of $1.5 million.

Management have prepared a cash flow forecast for the next 
twelve months. Key assumptions in the cashflow forecast 
include:

 • Continued suspension of mining operations at the Siana Gold 

Project;

 • Net cash inflows being generated from the Darlot Gold Mine 

and King of the Hill Gold Project;

 • Scheduled repayments of deferred consideration (refer note 
14) either through a combination of funds from the gold loan 
as detailed in the subsequent event note and operations.

The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the cash flow 
forecasts will be achieved. The Directors believe the Group will 
be able to continue as a going concern and recognise that:

 • Mining operations at the Siana Gold Project are currently 

suspended which has substantially reduced cash outflows;

 • As at 30 June 2018 the Company had $12.9 million in cash 

and gold bullion held in its metal account; 

 • The Darlot Gold Mine and King of the Hills Gold Project are 
expected to provide positive cash flow generation for the 
Company;

 • The Company has entered into a gold loan facility for  

$8.2 million which was drawn down in September 2018  
and expires in September 2019 (refer note 28).

The Company has prepared a cashflow forecast for 12 month 
period ending 30 September 2019 which anticipates the group is 
able to pay its debts as and when they fall due during that period. 
The cashflow forecast is underpinned by key assumptions 
including gold production, A$ gold price and operating costs of 
production. The forecast gold production is the critical 
assumption as production is expected to continue to increase as 
the King of the Hills project progresses through the development 
phase, and with higher levels of production expected at Darlot as 
higher grade areas are mined. If required, the Group has the 
ability to curtail certain expenditure or raise additional funding 
through debt or equity or a combination of both.

2.3  Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the 
historical cost basis, except for share based payments.  Share 
based payments are measured at fair value. The methods used 
to measure fair values of share based payments are discussed 
further in the Note 4.13. Rehabilitation provisions are based on 
net present value and are discussed in Note 4.15.

2.4  Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

2.5  Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in 
conformity with IFRSs requires management to make 
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the 
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of 
assets, liabilities, income and expenses.  Actual results may differ 
from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an 
ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised 
in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future 
periods affected. The areas involving a higher degree of 
judgements or complexity, or areas where assumptions and 
estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed 
further in Note 4.20.

3.  REMOVAL OF PARENT ENTITY 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group has applied amendments to the Corporations Act 2001 
that remove the requirement for the Group to lodge parent entity 
financial statements. Parent entity financial statements have been 
replaced by the specific parent entity disclosures in Note 33.

Red 5 Limited 2018 Annual Report

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4.4  Property, plant and equipment

The accounting policies set out below have been applied 
consistently to all periods presented in these financial 
statements, and have been applied consistently by the 
consolidated entity. No additional standards or amendments 
have been early adopted in the current year.

Property, plant and equipment include land, buildings, plant and 
equipment, and fixtures and fittings. All assets acquired are 
initially recorded at their cost of acquisition, being the fair value of 
the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly 
attributable to the acquisition. 

4.1  Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial report incorporates the assets and 
liabilities of all entities controlled by the Company as at 30 June 
2018 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then 
ended.  The Company and its controlled entities together are 
referred to in this financial report as the consolidated entity.   
The financial statements of controlled entities are prepared for 
the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent 
accounting policies.  Intra-group balances and transactions, and 
any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group 
transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated 
financial statements.

Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial period, 
its results are included only from the date upon which control 
commences.  Where control of an entity ceases during a financial 
period, its results are included for that part of the period during 
which control existed.  Non-controlling interests in equity and 
results of the entities which are controlled by the consolidated 
entity are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial 
statements.

4.2  Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the 
economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the 
revenue can be reliably measured.  The following specific 
recognition criteria must be met before revenue is recognised:

Gold and silver sales

Revenue from the sale of gold and silver is measured at fair value 
of the consideration received or receivable.  Revenue is 
recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership 
have transferred to the buyer upon receipt of doré in the gold 
room.  Income received by the consolidated entity for silver sales 
is deducted from the cost of sales.

4.3  Finance income and expenses

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested.  
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective 
interest rate method.  Finance expenses comprise interest 
expense on borrowings and amortisation of loan borrowing 
costs.  Loan borrowing costs are amortised using the effective 
interest rate method.

Land and buildings are measured at cost less accumulated 
depreciation on the buildings. Buildings are depreciated on a 
straightline basis over the life of mine. 

Plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.  Items of 
plant and equipment are depreciated using a combination of the 
straight line and diminishing value methods commencing from 
the time they are installed and ready for use, or in respect of 
internally constructed assets, from the date the asset is 
completed and ready for use. Depreciation of the processing 
plant is based on life of mine.  The expected useful lives of plant 
and equipment are between 3 and 13 years.  Depreciation 
methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each 
reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.  

Fixtures and fittings include office equipment and computer 
hardware and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their 
expected useful lives between 3 and 13 years.  

4.5 

Intangible assets

Intangible assets other than goodwill, are initially recorded at 
their cost of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration 
provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the 
acquisition. Capitalised software is amortised on a straight-line 
basis over three years commencing when it is available for use. 
Mineral rights acquired is amortised over the life of mine.

4.6 

Inventories

Gold in circuit, bullion on hand and ore stockpiles are physically 
measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value.  Cost represents the weighted average cost and 
comprises direct material, labour and an appropriate portion of 
fixed and variable production overhead expenditure on the basis 
of normal operating capacity, including depreciation and 
amortisation incurred in converting materials to finished 
products.

Inventories of consumable supplies and spare parts expected to 
be used in production are valued at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value.  Any provision for obsolescence or damage is 
determined by reference to specific stock items identified.  The 
carrying value of those items identified, if any, is written down to 
net realisable value.

32

Red 5 Limited 2018 Annual Report

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

4.7  Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated 
at cost in respect of each identifiable area of interest.  Costs 
incurred in respect of generative, broad scale exploration 
activities are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.  
Costs incurred for each area of interest where a resource or 
reserve, estimated in accordance with JORC guidelines has been 
identified, are capitalised.  The costs are only carried forward to 
the extent they are expected to be recouped through the 
successful development of the area, or where further work is to 
be performed to provide additional information.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the 
relevant area of interest will be amortised over the life of the area 
according to the rate of depletion of reserves.  A regular review is 
undertaken of each area of interest to determine the 
appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to 
that area of interest.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area will be 
written off in full to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income in the year in which the decision to 
abandon the area is made.

4.8  Mine Development

Pre-production

Costs incurred in the development of a mine before production 
commences are capitalised as part of the mine development 
costs.  Mine development costs are deferred until production 
commences, at which time they are amortised over the 
productive life of the project on a unit-of-production basis, based 
on reserves. 

Post-production

Costs incurred in the development of a mine after production 
commences are capitalised as part of the mine development 
costs and are amortised over the productive life of the project on 
a unit-of-production basis, based on reserves.

Deferred waste mining costs

In the production phase all costs associated with waste removal 
are capitalised and amortised over the productive life of the open 
pit on a unit-of-production basis based on reserves and current 
mine schedule.  

4.9 

Impairment

At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews and tests 
the carrying value of assets when events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be 
recoverable.  Where an indicator of impairment exists, the 
consolidated entity makes a formal estimate of recoverable 
amount.  Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its 
recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is 
written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are 

recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income unless the asset has previously been 
revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a 
reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation with any excess 
recognised through the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income.

Calculation of recoverable amount

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs of 
disposal and value in use.  It is determined for an individual asset, 
unless it does not generate cash inflows that are largely 
independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in 
which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.  The estimated 
future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a 
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of 
the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

4.10  Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.  Income 
tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent 
that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case 
it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for 
the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at 
reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of 
previous years.  Deferred income tax is provided using the 
balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences at the 
balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities 
and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible 
temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and 
unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable 
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary 
differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and 
unused tax losses can be utilised.  A deferred income tax asset is 
not recognised where the deferred income tax asset relating to 
the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial 
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a 
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects 
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at 
each balance date and reduced to the extent it is no longer 
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all 
or part of the deferred income tax to be utilised.  Deferred income 
tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are 
expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the 
liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been 
enacted at the balance date.  Income taxes relating to items 
recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in 
the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

4.11  Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in 
equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and 
cash equivalents, loans and borrowings and trade and other 
creditors.  Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised 
initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction 
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial 
instruments are measured as described below.

Trade and other receivables are carried at amortised cost.  Trade 
receivables are non-interest bearing.  Loans and borrowings are 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, 
less any impairment losses.  Liabilities for trade creditors and 
other amounts are carried at amortised cost. Trade payables are 
non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30 day terms.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes 
deposits at call which are readily convertible to cash on hand and 
which are used in the cash management function on a day to day 
basis, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives financial instruments are recognised initially at fair 
value; any attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit 
and loss as incurred.  Subsequent to initial recognition, 
derivatives are measured at fair-value.

Cashflow hedges

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging 
instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the 
derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and 
accumulated in the hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of 
changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised 
immediately in profit or loss.

4.12  Employee benefits

Provision for employee entitlements represents the amount which 
the consolidated entity has a present obligation to pay resulting 
from employees’ service provided up to the balance date. 

Liabilities arising in respect of employee benefits expected to be 
settled within twelve months of the balance date are measured at 
their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are 
expected to be paid when the liability is settled.  All other 
employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of 
the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of 
services provided by employees up to the balance date. 
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution 
superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in the 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income  
as incurred.

4.13  Share based payments

The consolidated entity may provide benefits to employees 
(including Directors) and other parties as necessary 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 at the date they are 
granted.  The value is determined using a Black-Scholes model 
or equivalent valuation technique. The cost of 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 the 
extent to which the vesting period has expired and the number of 
awards that, in the opinion of the Directors, will ultimately vest.

No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance 
conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included 
in the determination of fair value at grant date. No expense is 
recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for 
awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.

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

4.14  Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign 
exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the 
statement of financial position date are translated to Australian 
dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign 
exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of 
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the 
exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are 
stated at fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign 
exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

Financial statements of foreign operations

Each entity in the consolidated entity determines its functional 
currency, being the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates, reflecting the 
underlying transactions, events and conditions that are relevant 
to the entity. The functional currency of the Australian entities is 
the Australian dollar and the functional currency of the Philippine 
entities is the Philippine Peso.  The assets and liabilities of foreign 
operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising 
on consolidation, are translated from the entity’s functional 
currency to the consolidated entity’s presentation currency of 
Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at reporting 
date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are 
translated to Australian dollars at the exchange rates 
approximating the exchange rates ruling at the date of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation 
are recognised directly in a separate component of equity.

4.15  Rehabilitation costs

Full provision for rehabilitation costs is made based on the net 
present value of the estimated cost of restoring the environmental 
disturbance that has occurred up to the balance date. Increases 
due to additional environmental disturbances are capitalised and 
amortised over the remaining lives of the operations where they 
have future economic benefit, else they are expensed. These 
increases are accounted for on a net present value basis.

Annual increases in the provision relating to the change in the net 
present value of the provision and inflationary increases are 
accounted for in the Statement of Profit and Loss as an interest 
expense. The estimated costs of rehabilitation are reviewed 
annually and adjusted as appropriate for changes in legislation, 
technology or other circumstances.

4.16  Provisions

A provision is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position 
when the consolidated entity has a present legal or constructive 
obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an 
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the 
obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the 
expected future cash flows at the pre-tax rate that reflects 
current market assessments of the time value of money and 
where appropriate, the risk specific to the liability.

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net operating 
results after income tax attributable to members of the parent 
entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary 
shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the 
determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the 
after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs 
associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the 
weighted average number of shares assumed to have been 
issued for no consideration in relation to potential ordinary shares.

4.18  Leases

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as a finance 
lease obligation at the present value of the minimum lease 
payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance 
charges and reduction of the lease obligation to achieve a 
constant rate of interest on the remaining liability. Finance 
charges are recorded as a finance expense to profit and loss, 
unless they are attributable to qualifying assets, in which case 
they are capitalised.

4.19 Business combinations

The Group accounts for business combinations using the 
acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The 
consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured 
at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any 
goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on 
a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. 
Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to 
the issue of debt or equity securities.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related 
to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are 
generally recognised in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date 
of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration 
that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as 
equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for 
within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is 
remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent 
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are 
recognised in profit or loss.

4.20 Accounting estimates and judgements

The selection and disclosure of the consolidated entity’s critical 
accounting policies and estimates and the application of these 
policies, estimates and judgements is the responsibility of the 
Board of Directors. The estimates and judgements that may have 
a significant impact on the carrying amount of assets and 
liabilities are discussed below.

A change in any, or a combination, of the three key assumptions 
used to determine the provisions could have a material impact to 
the carrying value of the provision. In the case of provisions for 
assets which remain in use, adjustments to the carrying value of 
the provision are offset by a change in the carrying value of the 
related asset. Where the provisions are for assets no longer in 
use or for obligations arising from the production process, the 
adjustment is reflected directly in the Statement of Profit or Loss.

Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the group makes an assessment for 
impairment of all assets if there has been an impairment indicator 
by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the 
particular assets that may lead to impairment. The recoverable 
amount of Property, Plant & Equipment and Mine Development 
Expenditure relating to the Siana gold project is determined as 
the higher of value-in-use and fair value less costs of disposal.  
Value-in-use is generally determined as the present value of the 
estimated future cash flows. Present values are determined using 
a risk adjusted discount rate appropriate to the risks inherent in 
the asset.

Given the nature of the Group’s mining activities, future changes 
in assumptions upon which these estimates are based may give 
rise to a material adjustment to the carrying value. This could 
lead to the recognition of impairment losses in the future. The 
inter-relationship of the significant assumptions upon which 
estimated future cash flows are based is such that it is 
impracticable to disclose the extent of the possible effects of a 
change in a key assumption in isolation.

Future cash flow estimates are based on expected production 
volumes and grades, gold price and exchange rate estimates, 
budgeted and forecasted development levels and operating 
costs. Management is required to make these estimates and 
assumptions which are subject to risk and uncertainty. As a 
result there is a possibility that changes in circumstances may 
alter these projections, which could impact on the recoverable 
amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the 
carrying value of the assets may be impaired.  Impairment losses 
are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss unless the asset 
has previously been revalued.

Rehabilitation and mine closure provisions

As set out in Note 4.15, this provision represents the discounted 
value of the present obligation to restore, dismantle and 
rehabilitate certain items of property, plant and equipment. The 
discounted value reflects a combination of the Group’s 
assessment of the costs of performing the work required, the 
timing of the cash flows and the discount rate.

Reserves and resources

The Group determines and reports ore reserves under the 
Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral 
Resources and Ore Reserves Code (“JORC”) as revised 
December 2012 JORC for underground reserves and the JORC 
2012 edition for open pit reserves. The JORC code requires the 
use of reasonable investment assumptions to calculate reserves.  
Reserves determined in this way are taken into account in the 
calculation of depreciation of mining plant and equipment (refer 
to note 10), amortisation of capitalised development expenditure 
(refer to note 12), and impairment relating to these assets.

Changes in reported reserves may affect the Group’s financial 
results and financial position in a number of ways, including:

 • Asset carrying values may be impacted due to changes in 

estimated cash flows;

 • Depreciation and amortisation charged in the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income may change 
where such charges are calculated using the units of 
production basis;

 • Deferred waste amortisation, based on estimates of reserve to 

waste ratios;

 • Decommissioning, site restoration and environmental 

provisions may change where changes in estimated reserves 
alter expectations about the timing or cost of these activities.

Going Concern

A key assumption underlying the preparation of the financial 
statements is that the Group will continue as a going concern.  
An entity is a going concern when it is considered to be able  
to pay its debts as and when they are due, and to continue in 
operation without any intention or necessity to liquidate or 
otherwise wind up its operations.  A significant amount of 
judgement has been required in assessing whether the Group  
is a going concern, as set out in note 2.2.

4.21  New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not effective for the 30 June 2018 reporting period. 
The Group does not intend to early adopt any of the new standards or interpretations.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective from 1 January 2018)

AASB 15 establishes a model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised at an amount that 
reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled when control of the goods or services passes to the customer.

The Group has assessed the potential impact its consolidated financial statements resulting from the application of AASB15 and 
determined that it has no material impact.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2018)

AASB 9 Financial Instruments – published in July 2014, replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, 
including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment of financial assets, and the new general hedge accounting 
instruments from IAS39. AASB 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption 
permitted.

The Group has assessed the potential impact its consolidated financial statements resulting from the application of AASB9 and 
determined that it has no material impact.

IFRS 16 Leases (effective 1 January 2019) 

AASB 16 will result in leases being recognised on the Balance Sheet as the distinction between operating and finance leases is 
removed. The standard will primarily affect the accounting for the Group’s operating leases which will require the present value of 
the leases captured by the standard being recognised as right to use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The Group 
has not assessed the potential impact its consolidated financial statements resulting from the application of AASB16.

The Group plans to adopt the new standard during the 30 June 2020 reporting period.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and deductable temporary differences have not been brought to account 
at 30 June 2018. The Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets at this point in time 
because (i) it is not probable that future  Australian taxable profits will be available against which the Group can use the benefits 
there from or (ii) uncertainty with respect to recoverability in the Philippines.

24.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of its production, development and exploration assets in both Australia and the 
Philippines. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis. 

During the year with the acquisition of Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd and King of the Hills, both Australian operations, a new 
operating segment was added for Australia (refer note 31). The prior year comparatives include the previously reported segments 
only.

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating 
segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the consolidated annual 
financial statements of the Group.

28.  SUbSEqUENT EVENTS

Royalty sale

In June 2018 the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of the Company’s royalty entitlement from the Mt Cattlin mine in 
Western Australia to Canadian royalty company, Lithium Royalty Corporation. At year end the sale of the royalty was recognised as 
all material conditions to the Sale and Purchase Agreement had been satisfied. The total consideration for the transaction of $11 
million was received in July 2018.

Siana Gold Project approval

Subsequent to the end of the financial year the Company’s Philippine-affiliated company Greenstone Resources Corporation 
(GRC), was issued a Clearance and Notice to Proceed from the Philippines Mines and Geoscience Bureau (MGB) to construct and 
operate Tailings Storage Facility 6 (TSF 6) at the Siana Gold Project in the Philippines. 

The Philippines Environmental Management Bureau has also amended the co-ordinates of Greenstone Resources’ Environmental 
Compliance Certificate for the Siana Gold Project to include the proposed area of TSF 6, which will allow construction and 
operation of TSF 6 to proceed, subject to the completion of standard local construction permitting requirements. TSF 6, which is 
the initial tailings storage facility planned for Siana, has an expected capacity of 1 million tonnes of tailings. 

Gold loan facility

In September 2018 the Company entered into a gold loan facility of 5,015 ounces with Malaysian-based investment fund, Asian 
Investment Management Services Ltd (AIMSL). The gold loan facility was for the provision by AIMSL to the Company of a gold loan 
of 5,015 gold ounces available in one tranche. The facility has a term of 12 months and is secured by a security interest in Red 5’s 
Australian operating subsidiary companies on a limited recourse basis. 

This facility was drawn down in September 2018 for net proceeds of approximately A$8.2 million and, together with cash-flow from 
existing operations will be used to advance development at Darlot and King of the Hills, maintain ongoing exploration momentum 
at both mines and for general working capital purposes.

30.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Overview

This note presents information about the consolidated entity’s exposure to credit, liquidity and market risks, their objectives, 
policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. 
Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the consolidated entity through regular 
reviews of the risks.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the consolidated entity if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet 
its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the consolidated entity receivables from customers and investment 
securities.  For the company it arises from receivables due from subsidiaries.

Presently, the consolidated entity undertakes exploration, mining and gold production activities.

The Group sells gold to one customer in Australia and has managed its exposure to credit risk by analysing the creditworthiness 
of the customer.

Cash and cash equivalents

The consolidated entity limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that 
have an acceptable credit rating.  Any excess cash and cash equivalents are maintained in short term deposits with more than 
one major Australian commercial bank at interest rates maturing over 30 to 120 day rolling periods.

Trade and other receivables

The Group’s trade and other receivables relate mainly to gold sales and sales tax refunds. The Group has determined that its 
exposure to trade receivable credit risk is low, given that it sells gold bullion to a single reputable refiner with short contractual 
payment terms and sales tax refunds are due from Government tax bodies namely the Australian Tax Office and the Philippines 
Bureau of Internal Revenue.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.  
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Trade and other receivables
Cash and cash equivalents
Non-current receivables

Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The 
consolidated entity approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to 
meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking 
damage to the consolidated entity.

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds raised in the market and by 
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect 
the consolidated entity income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Changes in the market gold price will affect 
the derivative valuation at each reporting date.  The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk 
exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The consolidated entity enters into derivative financial 
instruments to hedge such transactions.

Hedge accounting

The Group’s risk management policy is to hedge between 25 to 70% of gold sales in local currency over a rolling 24 month 
period.

At 30 June 2018 the Group held gold forward contracts to hedge the exposure of future gold sales. The following table sets out 
the current hedge position and fair value as at 30 June 2018:

The consolidated entity is exposed to currency risk on investments and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than 
the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries within the consolidated entity being Australian Dollar (A$) and Philippine 
Pesos. The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are United States dollars (US$).

The consolidated entity has not entered into any derivative financial instruments to hedge such transactions. The Company’s 
investments in its subsidiaries are not hedged as those currency positions are considered to be long term in nature.

Sensitivity analysis

A 10 per cent strengthening of the Australian dollar against the United States dollar on the 30 June 2018 would have increased/
(decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.  
The analysis was performed on the same basis for 2017.

A 10 per cent weakening of the Australian dollar against the above currencies at 30 June 2018 would have had the equal but 
opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Interest rate risk

The consolidated entity is exposed to interest rate risk, primarily on its cash and cash equivalents which is the risk that a financial 
instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in the market interest rates on interest-bearing financial instruments. The 
consolidated entity does not use derivatives to mitigate these exposures. 

The consolidated entity adopts a policy of ensuring that as far as possible it maintains excess cash and cash equivalents in short 
term deposits with more than one counterparty at interest rates maturing over 90 day rolling periods.  At the reporting date the 
interest rate profile of the consolidated entity and the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments were:

30.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Capital management

The consolidated entity’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so as to maintain 
a strong capital base sufficient to maintain future exploration and development of its projects.  In order to maintain or adjust the 
capital structure, the consolidated entity may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

Risk management is facilitated by regular monitoring and reporting by the board and key management personnel.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

31.  ACqUISITIONS

(a)  Acquisition of Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd

On 2 October 2017 the Group acquired 100% of the shares of Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd (Darlot) from a subsidiary of Gold 
Fields Limited. 

The acquisition provides the company with immediate production and cash-flow, an extensive strategic footprint in the Leonora-
Leinster mineral district of Western Australia and the ability to leverage this position by pursuing a regional consolidation strategy 
aimed at establishing the Darlot mill as a central processing hub.

The Company has determined that the acquisition of Darlot was a business combination in accordance with AASB 3, Business 
Combinations, and as such has accounted for it in accordance with this standard using the acquisition method with the 
Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Opus Resources Pty Limited being the acquirer. The Company incurred transaction costs of 
$474,965 relating to the acquisition. Transaction costs are expensed in accordance with AASB 3, Business Combinations.

In the nine months to 30 June 2018, Darlot contributed revenue of $66,613,710 and loss after tax of $12,743,369 to the Group’s 
results.  If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2017, management estimates that consolidated revenue would have been 
$100.8 million and consolidated loss for the year would have been $12.4 million. In determining these amounts, management has 
assumed that the fair value adjustments, determined provisionally, that arose on the date of acquisition would have been the 
same if the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2017.

The following table summarises the fair value of the consideration paid and the preliminary estimates of the fair values of 
identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Darlot.

Purchase consideration:

6,742,265
6,500,000

(1)  The fair value of ordinary shares issued was based on the listed share price of the Company at 2 October 2017 of $0.05 per share. 

(2)  The deferred consideration payable for the acquisition of Darlot is payable in the future and has been discounted. The amount payable is $5.0 million if the 

seller opts to receive cash due in one or two years from the date of acquisition at the vendor’s election.

(3) 

If the seller opts to receive shares in Red 5 Ltd, these will be issued at a 15% discount to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) in two years from the 
date of acquisition.

Measurement of fair values

The valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value of material assets acquired were as follows:

Inventories – Market comparison technique: the fair value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary 
course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required 
to complete and sell the inventories.

Property, plant and equipment – market value technique using and independent valuer: the valuation model considers market 
prices for similar items when they are available, and current replacement cost when appropriate. Current replacement cost 
reflects adjustments for physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence.

Mineral rights – market comparison technique: the valuation considers the value of the resource acquired to comparative market 
values of similar resources.

Fair values have been measured on a provisional basis

If new information obtained within one year of the date of acquisition about facts and circumstances that existed at the date of 
acquisition identifies adjustments to the above amounts, or any additional provisions that existed at the time, then the accounting 
for the acquisition will be revised.

(b)  Acquisition of King Of The Hills Gold Project

On 2 October 2017 the Group acquired the assets of the King Of The Hills gold project located in the Eastern Goldfields of 
Western Australia, from Saracen Minerals Holdings Limited. 

The acquisition comprises an operational shaft and underground development together with supporting site infrastructure 
adjacent to the Goldfields Highway and mining centre of Leonora.  The Company has determined that the acquisition of King Of 
The Hills was an asset acquisition.

Acquisitions

Refer to Note 31 to the Financial Report

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Acquisitions are a Key Audit Matter due to:

For each acquisition, our procedures included:

 • The size of the acquisitions having a pervasive impact on the Group’s 

financial statements: the Group made two acquisitions during the year, 
being 100% of Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd and the King of The Hills 
Gold Project (KOTH).

 • Level of judgement required by us in evaluating whether the acquisitions 
were a business combination or an asset acquisition. The difference in 
the accounting for the acquisition as a business or an asset is significant 
and could impact the recognition and measurement of amounts reported 
in the consolidated financial statements.

 • The judgement required by us in evaluating the fair value of deferred 
consideration and evaluating the Group’s purchase price allocation.

These conditions and associated complex acquisition accounting required 
significant audit effort and greater involvement of senior team members.

 • Reading the sale and purchase agreements to understand the structure, 
key terms and the nature of consideration. Using this information, we 
evaluated the accounting treatment of the acquisition.

 • Assessing the level of inputs, processes and outputs for both Darlot and 
KOTH to compare to the Group’s conclusion that KOTH was an asset 
acquisition and Darlot a business combination.

 • We involved senior audit team members to assess the accounting 
treatment for the transaction. We researched and analysed the 
conclusions reached by the Group to accounting interpretations, industry 
practice and accounting literature.

 • Critically evaluating the model developed by the Group to determine the 
fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in the acquisitions. In 
particular, we focused on significant judgements made by the directors in 
assessing the fair value of Property, Plant and Equipment, Mineral 
Rights, Deferred Tax and Rehabilitation Provisions.

 • Critically evaluating the independence and objectivity of experts used in 

assessing the fair value of Property, Plant and Equipment and 
Rehabilitation Provisions.

 • Assessed the Group’s determination of fair value measurement of 

deferred consideration. This involved:

 – Checking key inputs and assumptions from the Group’s calculation 
of deferred consideration to the Sale and Purchase Agreements; and

 – Checking the mathematical accuracy of the deferred consideration 
liability and the net present value of future expected payment.

 • We considered the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in respect of this 

acquisition against the criteria in the accounting standards.

Going concern basis of accounting

Refer to Note 2.2 to the financial report

The key audit matter

The Group’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and the 
associated extent of uncertainty is a key audit matter due to the high level 
of judgement required by us in evaluating the Group’s assessment of going 
concern and the events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on 
their ability to continue as a going concern. These are outlined in note 2.2. 

The Directors have determined that the use of the going concern basis of 
accounting is appropriate in preparing the financial report. Their assessment 
of going concern was based on cash flow forecasts. The preparation of 
these forecasts incorporated a number of assumptions and significant 
judgements and they have concluded that the range of possible outcomes 
considered in arriving at this judgement does not give rise to a material 
uncertainty casting significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a 
going concern. 

We critically assessed the levels of uncertainty, as it related to the Group’s 
ability to continue as a going concern, within these assumptions and 
judgements, focusing on the following:

 • The Group’s forecast care and maintenance costs included within the 

Group’s cash flow forecasts with respect to the Siana Project. 

 • Impact of expected gold prices and forecast US Dollar, Philippine Peso 
and Australian Dollar foreign exchange rates to cash flows projected. 

 • The Group’s planned levels of operational and capital expenditures, 

grade of resource, ability to increase production, and the ability of the 
Group to manage cash outflows within available funding.

 • The Group’s ability to raise additional funds from shareholders or other 
parties and the projected timing thereof. This included source of funds, 
availability of fund type, feasibility and status/progress of securing those 
funds.

In assessing this key audit matter, we involved senior audit team members 
who understand the Group’s business, the gold industry and the economic 
environment it operates in.

Other Information

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

 • We analysed the cash flow projections by:

 o Evaluating the underlying data used to generate the forecasts. We 
specifically looked for their consistency with the Group’s intentions, 
and their comparability to past practices. Information was sourced 
from mine plans and reserve reports. We tested forecast gold prices 
and foreign exchange rates used by management to published views 
from market commentators. We also evaluated the consistency of 
forecast sales, production volumes and production costs to historical 
production information;

 o Analysing the impact of reasonably possible changes in projected 

cash flows and their timing, to the projected periodic cash positions.  
We assessed the resultant impact to the ability of the Group to pay 
debts as and when they fall due and continue as a going concern.  
The specific areas we focused on were informed from our test results 
of the accuracy of previous Group cash flow projections and sensitivity 
analysis on key cash flow projection assumptions;

 o Assessing the planned levels of operating and capital expenditures for 

consistency of relationships and trends to the Group’s historical 
results, results since year end, and our understanding of the business, 
industry and economic conditions of the Group;

 o We held discussions with senior management to understand and 
assess options available for additional funding arrangements.

 • We evaluated the Group’s going concern disclosures in the financial 

report by comparing them to our understanding of the matter, the events 
or conditions incorporated into the cash flow projection assessment, the 
Group’s plans to address those events or conditions, and accounting 
standard requirements.

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Red 5 Limited’s annual reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the 
Auditor’s Report. The Directors are responsible for the Other Information. 

The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report was the Directors’ Report. The Chairman’s Address, Managing Director’s 
Review, Resources and Reserves Statement, Additional Information and Corporate Directory are expected to be made available to us after the date of the 
Auditor’s Report. 

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance 
conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we 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.

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we have performed on the 
Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The Directors are responsible for:

 • preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001

 • implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material 

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error

 • assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. 
This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to 
liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objective is: 

 • 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 Australian Auditing Standards will 
always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence 
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report.
