Corporate Directory 

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 in the Philippines.

The Company is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (Ticker: 
RED) with around 4,800 shareholders and has a strong institutional 
shareholder base. 

Red 5 owns and operates the Darlot Gold Mine located approximately 
900 kilometres north-east of Perth in the Leonora-Leinster mineral 
province of Western Australia and the nearby King of the Hills (KOTH) 
Gold Project.  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 further increase mine life through the 
conversion of additional Mineral Resources to Ore Reserves, new 
discoveries and potential bolt-on acquisitions in the region.

In addition, a pre-feasibility study has been completed on an open pit 
bulk mining opportunity and stand-alone processing operation at the 
KOTH project.  A final feasibility study incorporating underground and 
satellite resources is expected to be completed by mid-2020. 

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 20kms 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.

2019 Annual Report

FINANCIAL RESULTS
 \ Total gold sales of 98,240 ounces for $153.5 million for 
FY-19 (excluding $21.53 million pre-operational sales at 
King of the Hills offset against mine development costs 
equivalent to 12,861oz).

 \ Net loss after tax of $3.03 million for the 12 months to  

30 June 2019.

These achievements and Red 5’s emergence 
as one of the Australian gold sector’s up-and-
coming growth stories, with a clear pathway  
to becoming a multi-asset, mid-tier producer, 
have been reflected in the increase in the 
Company’s market capitalisation from  
~$80 million last year to over $370 million  
at the time of writing this report.

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholders

The past financial year has seen a 
significant advancement in Red 5’s 
development into a multi-asset 
Australian gold producer.

In addition to the successful ramp-up of 
production at the Darlot and King of the 
Hills (KOTH) gold mines in Western 
Australia to over 100,000oz per annum, 
we have made significant progress in 
advancing the opportunity for large-
scale bulk mining at KOTH.

These achievements have been 
reflected in the increase in the 
Company’s market capitalisation from 
~$80 million last year to over $370 
million at the time of writing this report.

This growth in shareholder value has been a product of the Company’s decision in 
acquiring the Darlot and KOTH mining assets and its vision in launching aggressive 
exploration programs to unlock their value.  A considerable amount of hard work has 
been undertaken to ensure that we have hit our operational targets while also 
pursuing a broader growth vision underpinned by the significant opportunity that 
has emerged at KOTH. 

At the same time, we have enjoyed the tailwinds of a strong Australian dollar gold 
price which has traded at record highs this past year. 

From an operational perspective, our Eastern Goldfields assets delivered a strong 
performance over the past year.  Darlot has continued to form the backbone of our 
production profile in FY-19, with mining operations primarily focused on the high-
grade Oval orebody. 

We have also seen a growing contribution from KOTH, with mining transitioning from 
narrow high-grade gold veins early in the reporting period, to bulk underground 
stoping in the second half, as our understanding of the KOTH orebody grew. These 
bulk stopes are expected to increase ore production at KOTH, as well as delivering 

improved operational efficiencies and lower operating costs.

The Darlot processing plant – the cornerstone of our existing “Truck-to-
Darlot” business model – performed well, with over 900,000 tonnes of 

ore processed and gold recoveries averaging 92.4%.

While we are proud of our production performance over FY-19, it 
is clearly our exploration success at KOTH that has provided 

momentum to the Company’s growth strategy. 

We are excited by the emerging opportunity at KOTH, 
which has the potential to transform Red 5 into a 

mid-tier gold producer through the development of a 
second, stand-alone gold mining and processing 

hub in the Eastern Goldfields.  

After first flagging the potential for bulk mining 

at KOTH in September 2018, Red 5 has 
made rapid progress to define this 
opportunity, with ongoing work 

programs culminating in the delivery 

of an updated open pit and 

underground Mineral Resource 

estimate totalling 66Mt grading 

1.5g/t Au for 3.11Moz of 

contained gold.

2019 Annual Report

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS FROM THE CHAIRMAN (continued)

Outside of our core Western Australian 
assets, we also retain exposure to 
potential future upside at our Siana Gold 
Project in the Philippines, with mining 
operations currently suspended. The 
project includes a large resource 
inventory and existing infrastructure and 
we are carefully evaluating how best to 
maximise value from this project for 
shareholders.

A $20 million working capital facility 
entered into with Macquarie Bank 
Limited subsequent to year-end has 
allowed us to refinance, on improved 
terms, the existing gold loan facility 
while also strengthening our balance 
sheet and operating liquidity. 

The foundations of the Company’s 
strong production base, together with 
our existing cash and available financing 
facilities, means we are in a strong 
position to continue to execute our 
growth strategy, maintain exploration 
momentum and deliver the Final 
Feasibility Study for an expanded 
operation at KOTH, setting the scene for 
what is shaping up as another 
transformational 12 months for Red 5. 

The significant achievements of the  
past year and the strong position we 
find ourselves in is in no small part 
thanks to the leadership, commitment 
and dedication of our Managing 
Director, Mark Williams, and the 
exceptional efforts of our hard-working 
team of staff and contractors. We have 
delivered a huge work program over the 
past 12 months and I would like to 
sincerely thank each and every person 
for their efforts.

I would also like to thank you, our 
shareholders, for your strong ongoing 
support. I believe we can look forward 
to the future with great excitement, and I 
look forward to sharing this next growth 
phase with you all.

Kevin Dundo 
Chairman 
25 September 2019

The upgraded Mineral Resource 
demonstrates the scale and potential of 
KOTH and provided the foundation for a 
maiden open pit Ore Reserve estimate 
delivered subsequent to the end of the 
reporting period comprising 36.0Mt 
grading 1.25g/t Au for 1.45Moz of 
contained gold. 

This places KOTH as one of the more 
significant Reserve endowed gold 
mines in Australia, with substantial 
upside potential from the future 
inclusion of the 1.1Moz underground 
Resource, regional oxide deposits and 
ongoing exploration.

The open pit Ore Reserve was 
supported by a Pre-Feasibility Study, 
released in early August 2019, that 
outlined potential for a 10-year open pit 
operation delivering average annual 
life-of-mine production of 140,000oz 
recovered, at an average AISC of 
A$1,167 per ounce.

This Pre-Feasibility Study represents an 
important stepping-stone for Red 5, 
laying the foundations to unlock the 
broader value at KOTH by developing 
an integrated open pit and underground 
bulk mining operation. A Final Feasibility 
Study for this integrated mine 
development is underway and is 
scheduled for completion by mid 
CY2020.

In parallel with the Final Feasibility 
Study, Red 5 also believes there is 
significant potential to continue to 
grow the resource base at KOTH, 
with a large proportion of the 
prospective Eastern Margin 
Contact remaining largely 
untested by drilling.

2019 Annual Report

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

The 2019 financial year has been a strong 
period for Red 5. Operationally, the 
Company delivered solid production 
performances from Darlot and King of the 
Hills (KOTH), while from an exploration and 
growth perspective the Company achieved 
a significant breakthrough in identifying 
what is shaping up as a potentially 
transformational bulk mining opportunity  
at KOTH.

EASTERN GOLDFIELDS, 
WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Red 5 holds an extensive 365km2 strategic 
footprint in the world-class Leonora-
Leinster mineral district of Western 
Australia, which includes the operating 
Darlot and KOTH gold mines. Mining 
operations continued at both mines 
throughout the reporting period, with KOTH 
ore trucked to Darlot for processing 
through the processing plant.

In addition to its operating gold mines, Red 
5’s tenements also offer significant 
exploration upside, with active exploration 
programs being undertaken at both Darlot 
and KOTH during the financial year.

These programs led to the identification of 
a large-scale potential bulk mining 
opportunity at KOTH during the year, 
resulting in the delivery of a 3.11Moz 
Mineral Resource estimate. The Company 
is now undertaking feasibility studies aimed 
at assessing the potential for a stand-alone 
bulk open pit and underground mining 
operation at KOTH.

Major works during the reporting period included 
the completion of the final raise on Tailing 
Storage Facility (TSF) #2 and an intermediate lift 
on TSF #3, which will provide capacity through 
to the end of the 2019 calendar year.  

Preliminary works and scoping were also 
completed for a new TSF #4, located adjacent to 
the current TSF #3 which will have a total design 
capacity of ~5Mt and will see production 
through to 2025.  Construction of TSF #4 
commenced in late July 2019 and is expected to 
take ~5 months to complete.

(continued)

A refurbished Knelson Gravity Concentrator 
was installed on the primary milling circuit 
during the June 2019 Quarter. This 
concentrator, coupled with a new Falcon 
unit on the secondary circuit, is expected 
to see lower final tail solid grade and 
improve gold bullion smelting. 

Continuous improvement projects included 
refurbishment of adsorption and leach 
tanks, improvement of oxygen addition to 
the leach circuit, an additional cross belt 
magnet, as well as optimising the existing 
triple deck screen on the crushing circuit. 

With KOTH ore production targeting up to 
600ktpa (see below), initiatives are being 
evaluated to assess the benefits of whether 
to incrementally increase plant capacity at 
Darlot (currently 1Mtpa with 600ktpa 
coming from Darlot) or focus on 
maximising grade recoveries, subject to 
cost-benefit analysis. 

Mining activities

Bulk stoping commenced at the high-grade 
Oval West deposit (identified by Red 5 in 
February 2018) during the reporting period, 
with stoping also undertaken within the 
Grace, Marsh, Lillee and Bradman 
orebodies.

Airleg mining also commenced at Darlot in 
January 2019, targeting near-surface 
remnant ore from previously mined areas. 
At the end of the reporting period the 
Company had four active airleg mining 
stopes in production. The airleg program is 
being conducted concurrently with further 
engineering and geological assessments to 
identify additional opportunities for narrow 
vein mining.

Further rehabilitation work continued to 
advance remnant mining opportunities in 
the Thomson orebody and capital 
development towards the Burswood, 
progressing these mining fronts as part of 
the FY20 mine plan.

KING OF THE HILLS PROJECT
Mining activities

Airleg mining was undertaken on high-grade narrow mineralised veins at KOTH, with 
production from these veins totalling 41,646 tonnes grading 5.07g/t Au for 6,795 ounces for 
the financial year.

High-grade narrow vein stoping was undertaken in the Riverrun, Theon, Regal, Baelor and 
Westeros lodes.

Following identification of the potential for bulk underground stoping at KOTH, a trial bulk 
stope was completed at Lemonwood in the December 2018 Quarter. From the success of 
this initial bulk stope, bulk underground mining was expanded at KOTH throughout the 
remainder of the reporting period. 

Selective bulk stoping is expected to underpin ore production from KOTH under Red 5’s 
current Truck-to-Darlot business model over FY20, ensuring a strong production outlook 
for the mine while the Company completes the current strategic review of a potential 
broader bulk mining opportunity (see below). 

The bulk stopes, which have been designed using a +2.5g/t cut-off grade as part of the 
current Truck-to-Darlot business model, range in size from 30,000-80,000 tonnes and  
will underpin planned production of between 30,000-35,000 tonnes per month, 
supplemented by 15,000-20,000 tonnes per month from high-grade narrow vein stopes 
and development ore.

The bulk stopes will be mined utilising the existing mine fleet currently on-site at KOTH, 
with the increased tonnages mined arising from the improved efficiencies of bulk mining. 
Larger sized ore drives can be mined without the dilution that exists for narrow vein mining, 
allowing the larger loaders from the existing mining fleet to be used for stoping.

This is expected to result in higher ore production rates being achieved with a lower cost 
per tonne, with increased production rate up to ~50,000 tonnes per month, compared with 
~35,000 tonnes per month under the previous mine plan.

A large-scale pilot ore sorting trial was conducted at KOTH during the September 2019 
Quarter to further evaluate the potential benefits and applicability of the ore sorting 
technology. The on-site pilot test work is a progressive step forward from the prior smaller 
scale test work undertaken in a Perth laboratory environment.

EXPLORATION AND RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
King of the Hills 
Bulk mining potential 

Exploration drilling at the KOTH mine during the year delivered an important breakthrough 
in the Company’s understanding of the structure and controls of gold mineralisation in  
the region. 

The drilling confirmed the presence of a significant gold-bearing zone of tension veins and 
stockworks located close to an existing mining area. It also demonstrated that drilling in a 
northerly/southerly direction in the region of the granitoid/ultramafic contact is optimal for 
identifying these vein stockworks, which would otherwise be missed by drilling 
perpendicular to the contact. This contact has 4km of strike and at least 500m vertical 
extent on the eastern side of the granitoid, with a similar extent on the western side.

To define the potential bulk mining opportunity, Red 5 commenced a 30,000m drill program 
in November 2018 to target the Eastern Margin Contact.

Bulk Mineral Resource

In December 2018, the Company delivered an initial, proof-of-concept bulk Mineral 
Resource comprising 28.7Mt at 2.0g/t Au for 1.88Moz of contained gold. This Resource 
was based on underground drilling completed by Red 5 together with historical drilling 
data, and covered 2,200m of the strike of the Eastern Margin Contact to a depth below pit 
of 130m in the south and 300m in the north. The mineralisation within this initial Resource 
remained open both down-dip and along strike in both directions.

Based on the strength of the initial 
Resource estimate, the Company initiated  
a bulk mining pre-feasibility study aimed  
at assessing the potential to establish 
KOTH as a stand-alone mining and 
processing operation.

In May 2019, Red 5 delivered an updated 
bulk Mineral Resource estimate of 66.0Mt 
at 1.5g/t Au for 3.11Moz of contained gold, 
with 76% of the Resource classified in the 
higher-confidence “Indicated Resource” 
category. 

The updated KOTH Resource was based 
on drilling completed up to 14 February 
2019, with an additional 44 new drill holes 
for 8,029m along with the additional 
detailed geological work undertaken since 
the previous Resource announcement on  
4 December 2018. 

The increase in geological confidence  
also allowed for the increase in the 
Indicated classification.

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

Open pit Ore Reserve and  
pre-feasibility study 

Subsequent to the end of the reporting 
period, Red 5 delivered a maiden open 
pit Probable Ore Reserve for the KOTH 
open pit and Rainbow satellite deposit of 
37.4Mt grading 1.24g/t Au for 1.5Moz of 
contained gold.

This Ore Reserve was supported by an 
open pit Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), 
which delivered key highlights of:

 \ A bulk open pit mining operation, 

underpinned by a maiden 1.45Moz 
Probable Ore Reserve;

 \ Construction of a new 4Mtpa CIL 

processing plant on site, which will 
provide processing capacity for the 
integrated KOTH bulk mining 
strategy, consisting of the KOTH 
open pit, satellite starter pits, as  
well as maintaining or expanding 
output from the existing bulk 
underground mine;

 \ Average annual gold production of 
140,000 ounces over a mine life of  
10 years. The current higher-grade 
underground mining operation is 
likely to be able to be reconfigured  
to add additional annual production 
ounces, to be assessed as part of 
studies for the Final Feasibility  
Study (FFS);

 \ Forecast capital cost of A$218M, 
which includes pre-strip costs of 
A$24M and owners’ costs;

 \ Estimated average all-in sustaining 
cost (AISC) of A$1,167 per ounce 
over the life-of-mine (LOM);

 \ Technically low-risk project 

development, with extensive mining 
history providing well-established 
metallurgy and recovery metrics.

The Red 5 Board has given approval to 
proceed with a FFS on the integrated 
bulk open pit opportunity and 
underground mining operations at 
KOTH. The FFS is scheduled for 
completion by the middle of the 2020 
calendar year, with an estimated cost  
of $4M.

Figure 4: KOTH Current pit (translucent blue), underground workings and PFS pit design (shown as gold shape).

The Company sees significant potential 
project upside to the PFS, with key additional 
elements to be included in the FFS 
comprising:

 \ Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource  
of 17.5Mt @ 2.0g/t Au for 1.11Moz of 
contained gold (1.0g/t Au cut-off) outside 
of the current KOTH optimised pit shell, 
which will be the basis of the  
underground mine;

 \ Underground exploration upside, with a 
significant proportion of the prospective 
Eastern Margin Contact remaining largely 
untested by drilling;

 \ Regional satellite deposits, including 

Severn, Centauri and Cerebus-Eclipse, 
which offer the opportunity for early gold 
production and cash-flow;

 \ Regional exploration upside, with key 

targets including Cavalier, Puzzles and 
other prospects along the Ursus and 
Tarmoola Fault Zones. These and other 
targets are being systematically explored.

KOTH regional Mineral Resources

Red 5 completed maiden JORC 2012 Mineral 
Resource estimates for the Rainbow and 
Severn near-mine deposits at KOTH, 
calculated on drilling completed by previous 
owners. This work highlights the potential to 
define near-mine open pit Resources that will 
support the broader bulk mining strategic 
review currently underway at KOTH.

The combined Rainbow and Severn open 
pit Resources, which total approximately 
114,900 ounces of contained gold, provide 
solid support to the Company’s strategy to 
define opportunities to provide early mill 
feed for a potential stand-alone processing 
plant at KOTH.

The Rainbow deposit is located 3.5km 
south of the Tarmoola open pit at KOTH, 
proximal to a NW-striking shear that splays 
off the Ursus Fault Zone.  The Severn 
deposit is located 4.6km south-east of the 
Tarmoola open pit, and is situated along 
the NNW-striking Tarmoola Fault Zone. 

KOTH regional exploration

Red 5 commenced a 13,300m regional 
exploration drilling program in March 2019 
to test five high-priority near-mine regional 
gold targets at KOTH: Cerebus, Eclipse, 
Centauri, Cavalier and Puzzles. 

The five targets are typified by shallow, 
regolith-hosted coherent gold anomalism, 
with all targets open along strike and 
completely untested down-dip in the 
unweathered basement rock. The host 
setting of each target shows characteristics 
analogous to Tarmoola-KOTH and 
Gwalia-style gold mineralisation, and all 
present significant discovery opportunities. 

The drilling program is targeting 
opportunities for generating early mill feed 
for a potential stand-alone gold processing 
facility at KOTH.

Darlot exploration
Lords Extension

Underground exploration drilling at the 
near-mine Lords Extension target, located 
approximately 200m north of the existing 
Mineral Resource boundary, delivered 
promising early results, with assay  
results including:

CAX0049

 \ 5.1m at 2.1g/t Au from 429.1m (includes 
0.3m at 12.1g/t Au with visible gold);

 \ 1.07m at 4.2g/t Au from 451.08m;

 \ 11.06m at 4.4g/t Au from 461.8m 
(includes 0.55m at 36g/t Au).

CAX0051

 \ 4.5m at 4.3g/t Au from 453.6m; and

 \ 0.9m at 9.8g/t Au from 479.6m.

The results indicate the potential to  
expand the Darlot Reserve base, with the 
mineralisation hosted within favourable 
felsic units and remaining open along 
strike. Three additional holes are planned 
as part of the current drill program. 
Significantly, the results also provide 
additional host units for future exploration 
targeting, in addition to the favourable

Oval Flattening

Drilling at the Oval Flattening target 
successfully intersected a new 77m wide 
zone of favourable magnetic dolerite  
host rock.

The 1,250m hole, which was partially 
funded by the WA Government’s 
Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS), was 
targeting the known mineralised Oval Fault 
structure in a previously untested area to 
the south-west of the Darlot/Centenary 
system. Interpretation of 3D seismic data 
showed that the fault flattened 
considerably across a zone of 150m, which 
presents a favourable mineralisation target.

A follow-up hole is planned to test the Oval 
Fault further up-dip where it intersects the 
favourable magnetic dolerite unit. 

Target generation

Extensive near-mine targeting activities 
were also completed during the year, 
including the ongoing structural and 
lithological interpretation of 3D seismic 
data as well as analysis and integration of a 
substantial underground and surface 
geochemical database.

Drill targets have been generated, targeting 
extensions to known mineralisation within 
the mine space, as well as several targets 
within a 20km mine radius focused on 
favourable structural trap sites within the 
underexplored eastern limb of the folded 
Mount Pickering magnetic dolerite. 

Ockerburry Hill Project 

Red 5’s Ockerburry Hill exploration licence 
(EL36/865), located 20km west of Darlot, 
covers a highly prospective part of the 
Yandal Greenstone Belt and includes the 
Ockerburry Fault System and other 
interpreted mineralised structures. 

Encouraging historical drilling results have 
been returned from two key exploration 
targets – the Dingo Ridge Prospect 
(previously drilled by WMC, Goldfields and 
Aragon Resources) and the Spargos 
Prospect (previously drilled by Homestake).

SIANA GOLD PROJECT, PHILIPPINES
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 Project are currently suspended, pending an improvement in 
operating conditions in the Philippines.

Ongoing activities at the Siana project during the year included ongoing dewatering of the 
open pit, infrastructure maintenance, monitoring of geotechnical issues and community 
and government relations activities. 

In 2018, Greenstone Resources 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 (TSF6) at Siana. 

The Philippines Environmental Management Bureau has also amended the co-ordinates of 
the Environmental Compliance Certificate for the Siana Gold Project to include the 
proposed area of TSF6, 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. 

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.

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

(continued)

CORPORATE
Board and Management  
Changes

General Manager - Operations Steve 
Tombs retired from the Group’s executive 
management team in July 2018, having 
played a key role in the successful 
integration, consolidation and ramp-up of 
the Darlot and King of the Hills operations 
following their acquisition in October 2017.  
Mr Tombs was appointed as a non-
executive director of the Company with 
effect from 1 August 2018.

Brendon Shadlow, previously Mining 
Manager for Red 5, assumed the role of 
General Manager - Operations. 

Financial

The Group recorded sales revenue of 
$153.51 million, excluding $21.53 million in 
pre-operational sales at King of the Hills 
(KOTH) offset against mine development 
costs.  Net cash flow from operating 
activities of $23.18 million with $24.87 
million in cash and in metal accounts 
achieved at period end.  The net loss after 
tax for the year ended 30 June 2019 of 
$3.03 million in comparison to a net loss 
after tax for the year ended 30 June 2018 of 
$11.93 million.

In September 2018, Red 5 entered into a 
gold loan facility of 5,015 ounces with 
Malaysian-based investment fund, Asian 
Investment Management Services Ltd.  The 
facility was repaid in full in August 2019 
from proceeds of a $20 million working 
capital facility secured from Macquarie 
Bank Limited.

Summary and outlook

Building on the rapidly evolving bulk mining opportunity identified at KOTH during FY-19, 
the coming financial year is set to be a significant period in Red 5’s history as we work to 
deliver the Final Feasibility Study (FFS) for an integrated bulk open pit and underground 
stand-alone mining operation.

This FFS is scheduled for completion mid-way through the 2020 calendar year, and is 
expected to provide a blueprint for KOTH’s future development pathway and map Red 5’s 
route to becoming a multi-asset, mid-tier Australian gold producer.

In parallel with the completion of the FFS, we will also continue to progress near-mine and 
regional exploration programs at KOTH to further build the Resource inventory. We have 
numerous compelling targets that are yet to be tested, including the majority of the 
prospective Eastern Margin Contact, offering outstanding potential to increase the current 
3.11 million ounce Resource base.

These growth programs will be supported by expected good gold production and  
cash flow from both the Darlot and KOTH mining operations.  Ongoing operational and 
cost efficiency programmes are underway aimed at reducing operating costs, with  
the commencement of bulk stoping at KOTH expected to drive enhanced operational 
efficiencies.

We also retain significant value with our interests in the Siana Gold Project in the 
Philippines, and we are actively assessing how best to progress this asset to deliver 
optimal value for shareholders.

Supported by these strong foundations, the Company commences FY20 with a strong 
outlook underpinned by stable gold production, an outstanding large-scale expansion 
opportunity at KOTH and exceptional exploration upside. 

This strong position is thanks to the hard work and dedication of the entire Red 5 team, and 
I would like to sincerely thank all of our staff and contractors for the efforts over the past 
year. I would also like to thank our shareholders for your continued support.

We can be proud of our achievements over the past year, but I am confident that this is the 
start of a transformational period of growth and development for Red 5.

1  Subsequent to the end of the 2019 financial year, Red 5 reported a maiden Probable Ore Reserve for the KOTH open pit of 36.0Mt grading 
1.25g/t Au for 1.45Moz of contained gold (see ASX Announcement dated 1 August 2019). This KOTH open pit Ore Reserve includes some 
material reported in the above table as Underground Ore Reserves as at 30 June 2019. The mine plan proposed within the Open Pit 
Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) means that these underground ounces would be extracted via open pit mining rather than underground mining as 
previously envisaged. The PFS pit design depletes the 30 June 2019 Underground Ore Reserves by 290kt at 3.9g/t Au (40koz contained 
gold). Red 5 considers this depletion to be material to the underground operation, however these underground Reserves are scheduled for 
late 2021 and Red 5’s current (2019) underground mine development plan includes defining underground Reserves outside of the PFS pit 
design. Red 5 will be updating the underground Reserves as part of the KOTH Final Feasibility Study (FFS), targeted for completion in 
mid-2020 calendar year.

PHILIPPINE OPERATIONS
SIANA GOLD PROJECT

An annual review and update to the Siana Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates for the year ended 30 June 2019 has been 
undertaken, with no resultant change from the figures quoted as at 30 June 2018.  

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.  Red 5’s Philippine-affiliated company, Greenstone Resources Corporation, subsequently 
received clearance to proceed with the construction and operation of a new tailings storage facility for the Siana mine. Greenstone 
Resources Corporation is evaluating its preferred plan and options for the Siana Gold Project. Due to the present lack of available tailings 
storage capacity, no JORC 2012 Ore Reserve estimate is reported for the Siana open pit as at 30 June 2019.  The Siana Underground Ore 
Reserve is not impacted by the lack 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.

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 2019.

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.

3.  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 14% has been applied.

Notes on Siana 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 KOTH Ore 

Reserves.

2.   Current processing recoveries at the Darlot processing plant for KOTH 

ore range between 93% to 94% for Au.

1.  The resource for this model has only been reported below the Stage 4 

Final Open Pit (-130m level) for the June 2016 figures.

2.  The Underground Mineral Resource estimate was prepared by Mining 

One Pty Ltd.

3.  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.

as at March 2016 design.

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 US$15/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.  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. 

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.

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.  

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 2019.

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

1.5.  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

In recognising the need for high standards of corporate behaviour and accountability, the Directors of the Company support the 
principles of sound corporate governance. The Board recognises the recommendations of the Australian Securities Exchange 
Corporate Governance Council, and considers that Red 5 is in compliance with those guidelines to the extent possible, which are of 
importance or relevant to the commercial operation of developing listed resources companies.

2.  PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 
The principal activities of Red 5 and the consolidated entity (which includes associated entities of Red 5) during the financial period 
were gold mining and mineral exploration.

3.  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A net loss of the consolidated entity after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2019 was $3,030,385  
(30 June 2018: loss of $11,927,573). 

3.1  OPERATING REVIEW

During the year, Red 5 delivered steady-state gold production from its Eastern Goldfields gold operations, generating positive free 
cashflows at the Darlot and King of the Hills gold mines. 

With the ramp-up of mining at King of the Hills completed during December 2018, the Company was able to achieve commercial 
production on 1 December 2018, a significant milestone for the Group. 

Mining operations at the Siana gold project in the Philippines remained suspended pending an improvement in operating conditions in 
the Philippines. Ongoing activities at Siana include dewatering of the open pit, infrastructure maintenance and monitoring of 
geotechnical issues.

(a)  Mining Activities
Darlot Gold Mine 

Darlot continued to primarily source ore from the high-grade Oval West deposit for the end of the year. Airleg mining continued to ramp 
up with four active airleg mining stopes in production, at an estimated rate of 4,000 tonnes per month and expected to ramp up to 6,000 
tonnes. The airleg program is being conducted concurrently with engineering and geological assessments to identify additional 
opportunities for narrow vein mining. 

Further rehabilitation work continued to advance remnant mining opportunities in the Thomson orebody and capital development 
towards the Burswood deposit, progressing these mining fronts as part of the FY2020 mine plan.

2019 Annual Report

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

for the year ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

3.  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
King of the Hills 

The transition to bulk mining at King of the Hills (KOTH) entered 
an important phase during the last quarter of FY2019 with the 
majority of stope ore coming from bulk sources. Related 
efficiencies began to be realised with record (under Red 5 
ownership) quarterly production tonnes, drilling and ounces 
delivered from the mine. 

Bulk stope optimisation continued to provide value throughout  
the year. During the last quarter of FY2019, a total of 5,356oz was 
processed, making this a record for ounces produced from  
KOTH for Red 5. 

The period was marked by significant improvement in the 
understanding of the complex local geology as well as process 
improvements across technical services. These improvements  
are expected to deliver significant ongoing material benefits to  
the operation.

Development of the first specifically bulk mining level continued 
as planned and reached a significant drill platform location. The 
platform will be used to test open mineralisation down-dip and 
represents a key milestone for the long-term bulk mining strategy 
for KOTH.

(b) 

Processing and Production

The Darlot processing plant performed well during the year with a 
total of 907,004 tonnes of ore processed. The average head grade 
and recovery was 3.79g/t Au and 92.4% respectively, resulting in 
the production of a total of 102,012 ounces of gold.

The newly scoped Tailings Storage Facility #4 construction 
commenced in July 2019 and is expected to take 5 months to 
complete. During the year a refurbished Knelson Gravity 
Concentrator was installed on the primary milling circuit. This 
concentrator, coupled with the already installed new Falcon unit 
on the secondary circuit, should see lower final tail solid grade 
and improve gold bullion smelting. Continuous improvement 
projects include refurbishment of adsorption and leach tanks, 
improvement of oxygen addition to the leach circuit, an additional 
cross belt magnet, as well as optimising the existing triple deck 
screen on the crushing circuit. 

Exploration and Resource Development

(c) 
Darlot  

During the year, drilling at the Oval Flattening target successfully 
intersected a new 77m wide zone of favourable magnetic dolerite 
host rock. 

The 1,250m hole, which was partially funded by the WA 
Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS), was targeting 
the known mineralised Oval Fault structure in a previously 
untested area to the south-west of the Darlot/Centenary system. 
Interpretation of 3D seismic data showed that the fault flattened 
considerably across a zone of 150m, which presents a favourable 
mineralisation target. 

Extensive near-mine targeting activities were also completed 
during the last quarter of FY2019, including the ongoing structural 
and lithological interpretation of the 3D seismic data as well as 
analysis and integration of a substantial underground and surface 
geochemical database. Drill targets have been generated, 
targeting extensions to known mineralisation within the mine 
space, as well as several targets within a 20km mine radius 
focused on favourable structural trap sites within the 
underexplored eastern limb of the folded Mount Pickering 
magnetic dolerite.

King of the Hills 

Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Eastern Margin Contact 
during the last quarter of FY2019, Red 5 reported an updated bulk 
mining Mineral Resource estimate for the Eastern Margin Contact 
zone at KOTH.

Mineral Resource estimates for the Rainbow and Severn near-
mine deposits at KOTH, calculated on drilling completed by past 
owners. This work highlights the potential to define near-mine 
open pit resources that have the potential to support the broader 
bulk mining strategic review currently underway at KOTH. Red 5 is 
currently undertaking a major 13,300m regional drilling program 
to test five additional priority nearmine targets at KOTH.

(d) 

Siana Gold Project, Philippines

Red 5’s Philippine-affiliated company, Greenstone Resources 
Corporation, is continuing to evaluate 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. 

While mining operations remain suspended at Siana, ongoing 
activities include dewatering of the open pit, infrastructure 
maintenance and geotechnical monitoring.

(e) 

Corporate

General Manager - Operations, Steven Tombs retired from the 
Group’s executive management team effective from 31 July 2018. 
Given his intimate knowledge of the Red 5 Group assets and his 
vast mining and operational experience, Mr Tombs was appointed 
as a Non-Executive Director, effective from 1 August 2018.

3.2 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The consolidated entity recorded a net loss after tax of 
$3,030,385 (2018: Loss of $11,927,574.).

This was offset by a decrease in employee benefits and the 
reduction of liabilities due to the King of the Hills deferred 
consideration payment made during the year, as well as a 
reduction of deferred tax liability ($6,069,001) mainly as a result of 
forming a tax consolidated group. 

(a) 

Gold sales

(d) 

Cash flow

During the year, cash and cash equivalents increased by 
$3,464,030. 

Free cash inflows from operating activities for the period were 
$23,180,689. Cash receipts from customers of $150,396,145 
reflect the sale of gold and silver. This was offset by cash outflows 
of $127,215,456, driven by higher operational costs resulting from 
the Company’s ramp-up to full production and increased 
exploration expenditure.

Net cash outflows used in investing activities for the period were 
$36,540,439, reflecting sustaining and growth capital on the 
Darlot processing plant and Darlot mine, as well as development 
costs, pre-operational expenditure and deferred consideration 
associated with the King of the Hills project.

The net cash from financing activities of $16,823,780 reflects the 
proceeds from the sale of the Mt Cattlin royalty ($11,000,000); 
and the gold loan facility ($8,219,786) offset by repayments of 
finance lease liabilities and payment of interest on the gold loan.

previous financial year (2018: Nil).  At the time of this report the 
Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.

5.  OPTIONS GRANTED OVER SHARES

Gold and silver sales for the reporting period before hedging 
movements totalled $156,308,315 (2018: $77,149,429) which 
excludes $21,529,789 of sales from the King of the Hills operation 
which have been offset against mine development costs. 

(b) 

Income statement

The Group recorded a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 
June 2019 of $3,030,385 in comparison to a net loss after tax for 
the year ended 30 June 2018 of $11,927,574 and a net loss before 
tax of $10,600,218 (2018: loss $14,387,213).

Darlot and King of the Hills recorded a gross profit for the period 
of $11,342,129 (30 June 2018: gross loss of $3,625,718). A 
combined 98,240 ounces of gold were sold during the year, which 
together with silver sales and hedging adjustments resulted in 
total revenue of $153,508,715. Cost of sales for the period of 
$142,166,586 comprised production costs, royalties, movement in 
stockpiles and depreciation charge. The higher sales and cost of 
sales during the year is reflective of full twelve months of Darlot 
operation and the achievement at King of the Hills of commercial 
production on 1 December 2018 compared to the previous year 
where the Company had only 9 months of operations in Australia 
and the Philippines. 

The Group’s net loss for the period was mainly driven by 
administrative expenses, exploration expenditure, Siana project 
care and maintenance expenses and fair value loss on financial 
liabilities attributable to high forward gold prices. Financing 
expenses included unwinding of the effective interest rate of the 
gold loan. This was offset by gross profit from operations and 
income tax benefits primarily due to the reset of the cost base of 
property, plant and equipment and other liabilities as a result of 
forming a tax consolidation group. 

(c) 

Balance sheet

Total assets increased from $173,271,787 to $177,147,101 at 30 
June 2019. The net increase in total assets was mainly driven by 
mine development connected with the King of the Hills pre-
operational expenditure and capitalised exploration expenditure 
for resource drilling, a build-up of inventories associated with the 
Company’s ramp-up to full production and deferred tax assets. 
This was offset by a decrease in current trade and other 
receivables due to the $11,000,000 received in July 2018 for the 
sale of the Mt Cattlin royalty.

Total liabilities were $97,766,795, an increase of $5,746,306 from 
30 June 2018. This was mainly driven by a negative mark-to-
market adjustment on gold hedges ($6,072,867) and entering into 
a gold loan facility of 5,015 ounces ($10,143,415) fully repaid 
subsequent to year-end in August 2019.

In August 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with 
Macquarie Bank Limited to provide the Company with a $20 
million Working Capital Facility. This facility includes a hedging 
amounting to approximately 13,000 ounces per quarter over the 
term of the loan. Proceeds from the Working Capital Facility were 
partially applied to full repayment in August 2019 of the Gold Loan 
Facility with Malaysian-based investment fund, Asian Investment 
Management Services Ltd.

11.2  REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE

11.4  SERVICES FROM REMUNERATION  

CONSULTANTS

During the previous 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 $3,200 (2018: $24,700) 

11.5  EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION  

FRAMEWORK

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.  

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

 \ Fixed remuneration;

 \ 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 and Nomination 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 Remuneration and Nomination Committee (the Committee) of 
the Board of Directors (the Board) is responsible for determining 
the remuneration arrangements for KMPs and making 
recommendations to the Board. The Committee is comprised of 
three Non-Executive Directors.

The Committee reviews remuneration levels and other terms of 
employment on a periodic basis having regard to relevant 
employment market conditions, strategy of the Group, 
qualifications and experience of the KMPs and performance 
against targets set for each year.

The Committee also advises on the appropriateness of 
remuneration packages of the Group given trends in comparative 
peer companies both locally and internationally, with the overall 
objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the 
retention of a high-quality board and executive team.

Overall remuneration policies are determined by the Board and 
are adapted to reflect competitive market and business 
conditions. Within this framework, the 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.

11.3  PRINCIPLES 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.

2019 Annual Report

 
 
DIRECTORS’ REPORT

for the year ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

11.  REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued) 
11.5.1  Fixed Remuneration

11.5.3  Long-term incentives through participation  

Fixed remuneration comprises director’s fees, consulting fees, 
salaries, and superannuation contributions. 

11.5.2 Short-term incentives linked to  

annual planning and longer-term objectives

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.

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 and 
executives 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) 
Service rights are subject to a 12-month service test. 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.

in performance-based equity plans

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.

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.

11.6.1  STI performance pay outcome

Short term incentive bonus component of remuneration based on achievement of group and specific role related operational targets for 
the year ended 30 June 2019 including achievement of core EBITDA targets, completion of strategies relating to the Siana assets, the 
achievement of gold production and cost targets for the financial year and individual effectiveness. A gate of 80% of budgeted gold 
production level applies to all KPIs. 

The amount vested represents 89.7% 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, Mr Tasovac and Mr Shadlow, with the issue of 
share rights to Mr Williams subject to shareholder approval.

Based on these results the Board has awarded an STI to eligible KMPs as follows:

 NON-AUDIT SERVICES

12. 
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 
$142,298 (2018: $544,200) for non-audit services. Further details 
of remuneration of the auditors are set out in Note 25.

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.

 ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

13. 
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 2019.  

14.  AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE  

DECLARATION

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.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 30 June 2019

The gold loan facility was fully repaid during August 2019.

Management has prepared a cash flow forecast for the next 
twelve months which anticipates the Group is able to pay its 
debts as and when they fall due during that period. Key 
assumptions in the cashflow forecast include:

 \ Continued suspension of mining operations at the  

Siana Gold Project;

 \ Forecast gold production is expected to continue to increase 
as the King of the Hills operations mature, and steady levels  
of production are expected at Darlot as higher-grade areas 
are mined;

 \ Positive cashflows generated from the Darlot Gold Mine and 

King of the Hills Gold Projects;

 \ Scheduled repayments of deferred consideration and 

repayments of the working capital facility. 

The Directors believe the Group will be able to continue as a 
going concern and recognise that:

 \ The Darlot Gold Mine and King of the Hills Gold Project are 
expected to continue providing steady gold production, and 
positive cash flow generation for the Company;

 \ The Group has the ability to raise additional funding through 
debt or equity or a combination of both, should it be required;

 \ The repayment of Gold Fields deferred consideration can be 
satisfied in either cash or shares at a 15% discount to the 
30-day VWAP at their election as noted in the announcement 
dated 3 August 2017.

Notwithstanding the risks associated with the key assumptions 
noted above, the Directors are confident that the Group has 
sufficient working capital for at least a year from the date this 
financial report is approved. 

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 4.12. Rehabilitation provisions are based on net 
present value and are discussed in Note 4.14.

2.4 

Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial report is presented in Australian 
dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency. The functional 
currency of the Parent Company and the Australian subsidiaries 
in which the Group holds its Australian assets is Australian 
dollars, and the functional currency of the Company’s other 
foreign subsidiaries is Philippine pesos. The functional currency 
of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of 
the primary economic environment in which that entity operates.

1.  REPORTING ENTITY
Red 5 Limited (“parent entity”) is a for profit company limited by 
shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded 
on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Consolidated 
Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2019 comprise the 
Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” 
and individually as “Group entities”) and the Group’s interest in 
associates and jointly controlled entities. The Group is primarily 
involved in the exploration and mining of gold.

2.  BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance
2.1 

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 25 September 2019.

2.2  Going concern

The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the  
consolidated financial report on a going concern basis, which 
contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the 
realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary 
course of business.

The Group’s principal cash flow generating assets are the Darlot 
Gold Project and King of the Hills located in Western Australia. In 
addition, the Group also has the Siana Gold project located in the 
Philippines where mining operations remain in suspension. 

At 30 June 2019 the Group had current assets of $47.93 million 
and current liabilities of $65.29 million comprised of the gold loan 
of $10.14 million (fully paid during August 2019), a deferred 
consideration of $5.00 million payable in cash or shares to Gold 
Fields Australia Ltd in October 2019, hedging liabilities at fair 
value of $5.31 million and employee benefits of $3.50 million 
relating mainly to annual leave payable over the year.

During the year ended 30 June 2019, there was a reduction in 
working capital as a result of continued mine development of King 
of the Hills. The Group achieved commercial production at King of 
the Hills on 1 December 2018 and maintained a steady state 
production at Darlot and King of the Hills gold mine throughout 
the year. In order to fund its mine development and exploration 
the Company entered into a gold loan facility with Asian 
Investment Management Services Ltd (AIMSL) for 5,015 gold 
ounces during September 2018. Subsequent the year-end, the 
Company entered into a 2-year $20 million Working Capital 
Facility with Macquarie Bank Limited (MBL). The facility allows the 
refinancing, on improved terms of the AIMS gold loan and 
strengthens the Company’s balance sheet and operating liquidity.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

2.  BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
2.5  Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements 
requires management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, 
expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying 
disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date 
of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and 
assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on 
management’s experience and other factors, including 
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable 
under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these assumptions 
and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material 
adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected 
in future periods.

In particular, the Group has identified a number of areas where 
significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are required. 
Further information on each of these areas and how they impact 
the various accounting policies are described with the associated 
accounting policy note within the related qualitative and 
quantitative note as described below.

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 36.

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  

POLICIES

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. 

Principles of consolidation

4.1 
The consolidated financial report incorporates the assets and 
liabilities of all entities controlled by the Company as at 30 June 
2019 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 

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.

4.3 

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment include land and buildings,  
plant and equipment, fixtures and fittings and assets under 
construction. 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. 

Land and buildings are measured at cost less accumulated 
depreciation on the buildings. Buildings are depreciated on a 
straight-line 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.

4.4 

Intangible assets

Intangible assets include mineral rights, asset retirement 
obligation and software. 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 and asset 
retirement obligation are 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.

4.5 

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.

2019 Annual Report

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  

POLICIES (continued) 

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.

4.6 

Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation assets incurred are 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.

4.7  Mine development
Pre-Production

Costs incurred in the development of a mine before production 
commences are capitalised as part of the mine development 
costs.  All development costs incurred, including sale of products 
during the development phase prior to reaching commercial 
production capacity (production start date), within that area of 
interest are capitalised and carried at cost. Costs are amortised 
from the commencement of commercial production over the 
productive life of the project on a unit-of-production basis, based 
on reserves. 

Post-Production

Costs incurred in developing further areas of the mine 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

Post-production stripping is generally considered to create two 
benefits, being either the production of inventory or improved 
access to the ore to be mined in the future. Where the benefits are 
realised in the form of inventory produced in the period, the 
production stripping costs are accounted for as part of the cost of 
producing those inventories.  

42

2019 Annual Report

Where the benefits are realised in the form of improved access to 
ore to be mined in the future, the costs are recognised as a 
non-current asset, if the following criteria is met: 

 \ Future economic benefits (being improved access to the ore 

body) are probable,

 \ The component of the ore body for which access will be 

improved can be accurately identified, and

 \ The costs associated with the improved access can be  

reliably measured.

If all of the criteria are not met, the production stripping costs are 
charged to profit or loss as they are incurred.

Depreciation of the stripping activity asset is determined on a unit 
of production basis over the life of the asset based on reserves 
for each area of interest.

4.8 

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.

4.9 

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.

Cashflow hedges

POLICIES (continued) 

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.

4.10  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.

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. 

4.11  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.

4.12  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.

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

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.

4.14  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.

4.15  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.

4.16  Earnings per share

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.

4.17  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. 

4.18  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.

Rehabilitation and mine closure provisions

POLICIES (continued) 

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.

4.19  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.

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.

As set out in note 4.14, 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.

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.

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 
4.3), amortisation of capitalised development expenditure (refer to 
note 4.7), 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  

POLICIES (continued) 

Share based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with 
employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments 
at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined 
by using Monte Carlo. This estimate also requires determination 
of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including 
the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield 
and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and 
models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment 
transactions are disclosed in, as discussed in note 31.

Production start date

The Group assesses the stage of each mine under development/
construction to determine when a mine moves into the production 
phase, this being when the mine is substantially complete and 
ready for its intended use. The criteria used to assess the start 
date are determined based on the unique nature of each mine 
development/construction project, such as the complexity of the 
project and its location. The Group considers various relevant 
criteria to assess when the production phase is considered to 
have commenced. 

Some of the criteria used to identify the production start date 
include, but are not limited to:

 \ Level of capital expenditure incurred compared with the 

original construction cost estimate;

 \ Completion of a reasonable period of testing of the mine plant 

and equipment;

 \ Ability to produce metal in saleable form (within 

specifications); and

 \ Ability to sustain ongoing production of metal.

When a mine development project moves into the production 
phase, the capitalisation of certain mine development costs 
ceases and costs are either regarded as forming part of the cost 
of inventory or expensed, except for costs that qualify for 
capitalisation relating to mining asset additions or improvements, 
underground mine development or mineable reserve 
development. It is also at this point that depreciation/amortisation 
commences.

Commercial production start date for King of the Hills Gold 
Project was achieved on 1 December 2018.

Capitalised exploration and evaluation assets

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

Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the 
level of proved, probable and inferred mineral resources, future 
technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, 

46

2019 Annual Report

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

4.20  New and revised Standards and  

Interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been 
published that are not effective for the 30 June 2019 reporting 
period. The Group does not intend to early adopt any of the new 
standards or interpretations.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any new standards or 
amendments.

Changes in significant accounting policies

AASB 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group has initially adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts 
with Customers from 1 July 2018. A number of other new 
standards are effective from 1 July 2018 but they do not have a 
material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

The effect of initially applying this standard is mainly attributed to 
the later recognition of revenue from gold bullion sold.

AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining 
whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaced 
AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and 
related interpretations.

The Group has adopted AASB 15 using the cumulative effect 
method (without practical expedients), with the effect of initially 
applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application 
(i.e. 1 July 2018). Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 
has not been restated – i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, 
under AASB 118, AASB 111 and related interpretations. The 
details and quantitative impact of the changes in accounting 
policies are discussed below.

Gold sales 

Previously, the Group recognised revenue from gold sales when 
all risks and rewards transferred; no further processing was 
required by the Group; the quality and quantity of the gold had 
been determined; and the sale was probable. Under AASB 15, the 
Group recognises revenue when control has passed to the buyer; 
the Company has no significant continuing involvement; and the 
amount of revenue and costs incurred or costs to be incurred in 
respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. 

 
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  

POLICIES (continued) 

The Group’s assessment is that this occurs when the sales 
contract has been entered into and the customer has physical 
possession of the gold.

The impact of the change in accounting policy is that gold in 
transit (which represents gold that has not been preliminarily 
turned out by the Group’s refiner prior to period end) is no longer 
recognised as revenue. Revenue recognition will now be delayed 
until the gold has been physically delivered and the buyer has 
committed to the purchase.

The following table summarises the impact, net of tax, of 
transition to AASB 15 on retained earnings at 1 July 2018:

Impact on retained earnings at 1 July 2018

Impact of adopting  
AASB 15 at 1 July 2018 
                  $

The Group will recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities 
for the arrangements assessed as leases on transition unless they 
are short term, low value, or previously did not meet the definition 
of a lease for arrangements in place at 30 June 2019. AASB 16 
will be applied to all new arrangements entered into from 1 July 
2019. Many activities of the Group’s operations are conducted by 
contractors including mining, mine development, infrastructure 
and site services. Where contracts require payment of fixed 
charges that relate to use of equipment or property, they will be 
deemed to contain leases under AASB 16 and the present value 
of the fixed charges will be recognised as a right-of-use asset 
along with a lease liability. 

The nature of expenses relating to such fixed charges which 
would have been recognised as an expense attributable to the 
function, will change to depreciation for right-of-use assets and 
interest expense on lease liabilities. The variable charges required 
to be paid under the contracts will continue to be recognised as 
an expense in profit or loss or capitalised as incurred depending 
on the purpose for which the activity was undertaken.

(282,080)

The Group is currently undertaking an analysis of the financial 
reporting impact, noting that:

 \ the group has not finalised the testing and assessment of all 

contracts, including contracts related to the acquired 
subsidiaries and assets;

 \ the group anticipates that some contracts under review may 
have an effect such as the power station, the gas storage 
facility and the mining contract; and

 \ the preliminary accounting policies remain subject to change 
and will be finalised and disclosed in its 2019 Half-year 
Financial Report along with initial application of the standard.

The Group is continuing its work on quantifying the impact of  
this standard.

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.

The following table summarises the impacts of adopting AASB 15 
on the Group’s statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019 
and its statement of profit or loss and OCI for the year ended for 
each of the lines affected. There was no material impact of the 
Group’s statement of cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2019.

AASB 16 – Leases (effective from 1 July 2019)

AASB 16 Leases eliminates the distinction between operating and 
finance leases and brings all leases (other than short term and 
low value leases) onto the balance sheet. A lessee recognises a 
right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying 
asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease 
payments. The standard is applicable to annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2019. AASB 16 will result in higher 
assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and the cumulative 
effect of adopting AASB 16 will be recognised as an adjustment 
to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 July 2019 with no 
restatement of comparative information.

Some of the potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and deductable temporary differences have not been brought to 
account at 30 June 2019. The Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the full 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 all the benefits 
there from or (ii) uncertainty with respect to recoverability in the Philippines.

(a)  Red 5 Limited resolved to form a tax consolidated group incorporating all its Australian subsidiaries, with an effective date of  

1 November 2017. In accordance with the tax consolidation legislation, the head entity of the Australian tax consolidated group,  
will assume the deferred tax assets and liabilities initially recognised by wholly owned members of the tax consolidated group. 

The deferred tax liability at 30 June 2018 of $6,069,001 relating to the Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd acquisition has decreased, 
primarily due to the reset of the cost base of property, plant and equipment other assets and liabilities as a result of forming the  
tax consolidation group and the timing differences in the current year (refer note 34). Tax sharing and tax funding deeds have  
been finalised. 

(b)  Deferred tax arising on acquisition of Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd.

Stores, spares and consumables represent materials and supplies consumed in the production process. All stocks have been 
calculated as the lower of cost and net realisable value, representing the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less 
any further costs expected to be incurred in respect of such disposal. At year end a net realisable value adjustment amounted to  
$3.88 million (30 June 2018: Nil) was made, which is included in the operating cost in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income.

16  FINANCIAL LIABILITY 
During September 2018, the Company entered into a gold loan facility of 5,015 gold ounces with a Malaysian-based fund, Asian 
Investment Management Services Ltd (AIMSL). The facility has a 12-month term repayable at maturity and attracts quarterly interest 
gold payments secured by a security interest in the Company’s operating subsidiary companies on a limited recourse basis. The 
effective interest rate of the gold loan facility is 16.1% which was derived by the movement in the forward gold price at inception. The 
subsequent fair value measurement of the facility is dependent on forward commodity prices. The loan has been classified at amortised 
cost and the embedded derivative relating to the forward prices of the loan has been recorded at fair value through profit or loss.

(a)  Rehabilitation provision
  Mining activities within the Group are required by law to undertake rehabilitation as part of their ongoing operations. The rehabilitation 

provision represents the present value of rehabilitation costs, which are expected to be incurred when the rehabilitation work following the 
cessation of operations is expected to be completed. This provision has been created based on the Group’s internal estimates which are 
reviewed over time as the operation develops. The accretion of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a financial 
expense. In addition, the rehabilitation obligation has been recognised as an intangible asset and has been amortised over the life of the 
mines on units of production basis.

(b)  MCC final acquisition provision

Provision for expected tax liability arising from the acquisition of Merrill Crow Corporation’s (MCC) holding of Siana Gold Project in 2010.

(c)  Documentary stamp duty provision

Provision for documentary stamp duty on cash advances to Philippines subsidiaries.

18  FINANCE LEASE LIABILITIES
Finance leases include obligations of the Company under vehicle finance leases and equipment hire leases. They expire between 31 
October 2019 and 31 October 2021 and bear interest between 4.5% and 6.75%. Ownership of the vehicles and equipment will revert to 
the Company at the end of the leases at no additional cost. The Company’s obligations under the finance leases are secured by the 
lessor’s title to the leased assets. The fair value of the finance lease liabilities approximates their carrying values.

The following schedule outlines the total minimum loan payments due for the finance lease obligations over their remaining terms.

foreign operations where the functional currency is different to the presentation currency of the reporting entity.

(b)  Share-based payment reserve, includes performance rights, service and deferred rights reserve of $1,057,345 (2018: $294,403). It arises on 
the granting and vesting of equity instruments. Refer note 31 for further details. And also includes other reserves for defined retirement 
benefit fund for Philippines employees of $105,911 (2018: $140,522). The movement in other reserves arises from the re-measurement of 
liabilities resulting from a change in assumptions used in an actuarial report calculation.

(c)  The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of hedging instruments (net of tax) used 

in cash flow hedges pending subsequent recognition in profit or loss.

23  EARNINGS PER SHARE   
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is the amount of post-tax profit or loss attributable to each share. The Group presents basic and diluted EPS 
data for ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by 
the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. 

Diluted EPS takes into account the dilutive effect of all potential ordinary shares, being unlisted employee performance and service 
rights on issue.

There have been no transactions involving ordinary shares between the reporting date and the date of completion of these financial 
statements which would materially impact on the above EPS calculations.

The potential ordinary shares existing as at balance date are not dilutive, therefore dilutive earnings per share is equal to basic  
earnings per share.

Fair Value of Performance Rights

The fair value at grant date of Tranches A which have market-based performance conditions, was estimated using a Monte Carlo 
simulation. The fair value at grant date of Tranches B, C and D, which have market and non-market-based performance conditions, were 
valued using a single share price barrier model incorporating a Monte Carlo simulation.

32  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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

32  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
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:

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. 

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of 
netting agreements:

Market risk

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.

32  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
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 2019 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 2019:

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.

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.

Net Fair values
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities equates their fair value.  

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.

33  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost approximate their carrying value.

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique. 

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest - level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or  

indirectly observable

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest - level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

The following financial assets and liabilities are classified as level 2:

 \ Derivative Financial Instruments, liability of $5.31 million (30 June 2018: asset of $0.76 million);

 \ Embedded derivative on gold loan, liability of $1.65 million (30 June 2018: $Nil).

34  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 summarizes the fair value of the consideration paid and the preliminary estimates of the fair values of identified 
assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Darlot.

(a)  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. 

(b)  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.

(c)  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.

-

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (continued)

Sales revenue ($153.5m) 

Refer to Note 5(a) to the Financial Report  

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Existence and accuracy of sales revenue was considered 
to be a key audit matter. Gold sales revenue from its 
Darlot and King of the Hills (KOTH) operations was the 
most significant item in the consolidated statement of 
profit or loss ($153.5 million).  

We focused on the following judgements the Group 
applied in determining sales revenue: 

  Assessing the revenue recognised upon the 

adoption of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers. This has resulted in a delay in revenue 
recognition from the previous standard AASB 118 
Revenue; 

  The application of hedge accounting for gold 
forward contracts in accordance with AASB 9 
Financial Instruments. The Group engages external 
experts to prepare hedge documentation and 
determine hedge ineffectiveness. 

Our procedures included: 

  For gold sales recognised during the year we 
obtained the sales invoice and compared the 
ounces of gold sold to third party statements 
from the refinery and cash received in the bank; 

  For a sample of sales recorded close to year end 
(both 30 June 2018 and 2019), we tested against 
the recognition criteria in each period. This 
included comparing the Group’s revenue 
recognition criteria against the requirements of 
AASB 15 to determine control had passed to the 
customer; 

  We evaluated the transition adjustment made as 

a result of adopting AASB 15; 

  For gold sales from KOTH close to the date of 

commercial production, we checked those prior 
to 1 December 2018 to determine they were 
offset against capitalised expenditure; 

  We compared realised hedging gains and losses 
to counterparty statements for gold forward 
hedges realised during the year, which have 
been recorded in gold sales; 

  For gold forward hedges not yet realised as at 30 

June 2019, we checked open positions to 
counterparty statements, recalculated the fair 
value of the open positions (recorded as 
derivative financial instrument asset or liability) 
and checked the hedge effectiveness; 

  We assessed the scope, objectivity and 

competence of the Group’s external experts 
responsible for preparation of hedge 
documentation and effectiveness assessment. 
We evaluated the hedge documentation and 
hedge accounting for compliance with AASB 9 
Financial Instruments.

Property, plant and equipment ($76.2 million) and Mine Development ($23.9 million) 

Refer to Notes 10 and 12 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Existence, accuracy and valuation of expenditure 
capitalised as an asset as part of the Group’s mining 
operations was considered to be a key audit matter. 
Property, Plant and Equipment ($76.1 million) and Mine 
Development ($23.9 million), together represent 57% of 
total assets.  

The Group used judgement in the identification and 
allocation of cost between operating and capital 
expenditure. The risks we focused on include: 

the existence of expenditure capitalised; 

Our procedures included: 

  Test of controls and inputs relating to the 

authorisation and accuracy of the recording, 
classification and payment of expenditure; 

  Assessment of the allocation of costs between 
operating expenditure (including inventory 
stockpiles), capital expenditure and exploration 
& evaluation assets by inspecting documentation 
on a sample basis and assessing the nature of the 
underlying activity; 

the capital nature of expenditure particularly the 
determination of when the King of the Hills (KOTH) 
project was considered capable of operating at 
commercial production and in a manner intended 
by the Group; 

  Challenge of the Group’s determination of 
commercial production declaration from 1 
December 2018 by evaluating the criteria by 
which the declaration was made against 
underlying documentation; and 

the methodology used to allocate costs between 
operating expenditure (including inventory 
stockpiles), capital expenditure and exploration & 
evaluation assets; and 

 

the assessment of the existence of impairment or 
reversal indicators of the non‐financial assets 
contained within Group’s CGUs including Siana and 
Darlot/KOTH CGUs. 

Selecting a sample of supplier, contractor and 
customer invoices raised during the year and pre 
and post commercial production. We checked 
the timing and nature of recorded expenditure 
against the details of the service description on 
the invoice or contract. 

  Challenging the Group’s assertion as to the 

presence of no impairment or reversal indicators. 
This included assessing the status of the Siana 
mine, financial performance against forecasts 
and comparing forecast prices to published views 
of market commentators on future trends.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (continued)

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. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing and 
Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf.  This
