CORPORATE PROFILE

Red 5 Limited (ABN 73 068 647 610) is an Australian gold 
producer with established mines located in the Eastern 
Goldfields of Western Australia.  The Company is listed on the 
Australian Securities Exchange (Ticker: RED). 

Red 5 owns and operates the King of the Hills (KOTH) Gold 
Project, located approximately 900 kilometres north-east of 
Perth in the Leonora-Leinster mineral province of Western 
Australia.  Construction is progressing on a new 4.0Mtpa 
processing plant at KOTH, which is underpinned by an Ore 
Reserve of 2.4Moz of contained gold and will be fed by a bulk 
open pit and underground mining operation over a 16-year life

gold production is scheduled for the June 2022 quarter.

Red 5 also owns and operates the Darlot Gold Mine located 
approximately 100 kilometres north of KOTH.  Darlot’s 
processing plant is currently fed by an underground mine at 
Darlot and a satellite open pit mine at Great Western.  Red 5 has 
announced that, as part of its KOTH Processing Hub Strategy, 
the Darlot underground mine will transition to a satellite mine for 
the KOTH operation in 2022, with the Darlot processing plant to 
be placed on care and maintenance.  

The Red 5 Group has recently divested its interests in the Siana 
Gold Project located in the Philippines to focus on its expanding 
gold mining operations in Western Australia.

Message to Shareholders FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholders

Red 5 took further crucial steps during 
FY-21 towards its objective of becoming 
a leading mid-tier Australian gold 
producer, underpinned by the successful 
development and delivery of what we 
expect will be Australia’s next major gold 
mine – our flagship King of the Hills 
(KOTH) project in the Eastern Goldfields.

Following the completion of a Final 
Feasibility Study (FFS) for the KOTH 
project in September 2020, Red 5 
secured in June 2021 a highly 
competitive $175 million project finance 
package from a syndicate of lenders 
comprising BNP Paribas, HSBC and 
Macquarie.  In conjunction with the debt 
facility, Red 5 also completed a fully 
underwritten $60 million entitlement 
offer in April 2021. 

With this funding in place, we are now 
progressing through each milestone and 
on track to achieve first production from 
the KOTH operation in the June Quarter 
2022.

Importantly, we have been able to 
achieve this progress despite the impact 
of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and 
against the backdrop of an increasingly 
competitive market in the Western 
Australian mining industry, which has 
made accessing labour, services and 
equipment an increasing challenge 
across the resources sector. 

The Company has been in a strong 
position to place orders early for key 
long-lead items and secure quality 
people and services well ahead of the 
tightening in the market, which we saw 
in the second half of last year.  

Gold production for FY-21 was 76,104 ounces.  In August 2021 we completed a 
comprehensive review of our mining operations across the Eastern Goldfields, 
delivering a new mine plan that I believe will underpin a much more robust 
production and cost profile for Red 5 over the coming years.

In what represents a reversal of our original operating strategy in the Eastern 
Goldfields, from mid next year, we will commence trucking Darlot ore to be 
processed at the new plant being constructed at King of the Hills.  The new mill 
being built at KOTH is an ultramodern state-of-the-art  CIL plant, with significant 
latent capacity and forecast production costs considerably below what we can 
achieve at Darlot. This will make Darlot a high-grade source of satellite ore feed for 
KOTH.

In addition, this strategy will also enable Red 5 to transition our Darlot employees 
across to the KOTH operation. This provides certainty both to the Company and its 
employees and significantly reduces our labour-related risk for KOTH.

Post year end, we were pleased to secure a binding agreement for the divestment of 
our interests in the Siana Gold Project in the Philippines, for a consideration of 
US$19 million in cash as well as a net smelter return on future gold production up to 
619,000 ounces (equivalent to a face value of US$36 million at a US$1,800/oz gold 
price). 

As we look ahead to the coming financial year, Red 5 occupies a relatively unique 
growth space in the ASX gold sector as an existing producer with a large-scale, 
long-life development asset at KOTH. 

In addition, over the coming year, we expect to make important progress towards 
opening up new mining areas at Darlot as part of the new mine plan, as well as 
maintaining an active exploration program across our tenement portfolio.

I am confident that the considerable amount of hard work being put in across the 
business will ultimately be reflected in a re-rating of our share price as we start 
production at KOTH and embark on this next exciting chapter of our journey as an 
Australian gold producer.  

In conclusion, I would like to sincerely thank the Red 5 team – including my fellow 
board members, our executive team and employees and contractors – for their 
efforts over the course of the year. I would also like to thank all our shareholders for 
your ongoing support.

2021 Annual Report

 
Message to Shareholders FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

The 2021 financial year has been another 
busy and productive period for Red 5, with 
the Company making positive progress 
towards the development of the King of the 
Hills (KOTH) gold project in the Eastern 
Goldfields region of Western Australia – the 
largest new gold mine currently under 
development in Australia.

Red 5 completed a Final Feasibility Study 
(FFS) for the KOTH development in 
September 2020, which delivered a 2.4Moz 
Ore Reserve, underpinning an initial 16-year 
mine life and confirming a clear pathway to 
production in 2022.

Since the delivery of the FFS, Red 5 has 
taken significant steps towards the 
development of the project, with the 
execution of a competitive $175 million 
project finance package from a Tier-1 
banking syndicate and with construction at 
KOTH progressing on schedule and within 
budget, putting Red 5 on-track to deliver first 
gold production from the new KOTH bulk 
mining operation in the June Quarter 2022.

To have achieved such progress against the 
backdrop of ongoing uncertainty and 
upheaval stemming from the COVID-19 
pandemic is a testament to the dedication 
and commitment of the Red 5 team, and I 
would like to congratulate everyone on their 
efforts.

On the mining front, Red 5’s Eastern 
Goldfields operations delivered total gold 
production over the past year from Darlot, 
KOTH and the newly-commissioned Great 
Western open pit of 76,104 ounces.

Red 5 completed a comprehensive review of 
its operations in August 2021, which resulted 
in a revised mine plan for Darlot, which will 
see the Darlot underground transition into an 
additional medium-term, high-grade feed 
source for the new KOTH processing plant, 
which has latent capacity. 

Processing Darlot’s ore through KOTH’s new 
processing plant will enable us to deliver a 
step-change in production costs. A 12-month 
mine development program is also underway 
to unlock Darlot’s 1.3Moz Resource base and 
reduce reliance on mining remnant areas.

We will also continue our commitment to 
exploration over the next 12 months, with 
robust  exploration programs planned across 
our tenement portfolio in the Eastern 
Goldfields.

Message to Shareholders FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR (cont.)

EASTERN GOLDFIELDS, 
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Red 5 holds an extensive 2,555km2 
strategic tenement footprint in the world-
class Leonora-Leinster mineral district in 
the northern goldfields of Western Australia, 
which includes the Darlot, KOTH and Great 
Western gold mines. During the reporting 
period, ore from all three operations was 
trucked to Darlot for milling through the 
processing plant.

Mining operations were progressively 
scaled down at the KOTH underground 
mine over the first half of the reporting 
period to preserve the ore for a new on-site 
processing facility currently under 
construction. Production from Great 
Western was progressively scaled up to 
substitute this ore feed into the Darlot mill. 

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 year.

WEST AUSTRALIAN GOLD 
OPERATIONS

Production summary

A total of 76,104 ounces of gold was 
recovered for the 12 months to 30 June 
2021, with ore sourced from Darlot and 
KOTH during the first half of the reporting 
period and from Darlot and Great Western 
in the second half of the reporting period. 
The transition of mining operations from 
KOTH to Great Western was undertaken to 
maintain throughput at the Darlot mill while 
preserving ore at the KOTH underground 
mine for processing through the new 
processing plant currently under 
construction.

Production in FY2021 was impacted by a 
lack of labour availability at both the Darlot 
underground mine and the Great Western 
open pit during the March and June 
Quarters, a situation that was prevalent 
across the mining industry. However, these 
operator shortages were largely resolved in 
June, with mining rates at both operations 
achieving forecast levels for the month of 
June 2021.

Key projects completed at the Darlot mill during the period included:

 \ Primary gravity circuit – a new Knelson concentrator and screen were installed and 

commissioned on the primary mill circuit to increase overall gold recovery and reduce 
reagent consumption, particularly from the Great Western ore; 

 \ Tailings Storage Facility #3 lift – an embankment lift of 2.5 metres to the west cell of 

TSF #3 was completed in May 2021, providing approximately another 1.0 million tonnes 
of storage capacity or a further 12 months under current throughputs.

 \ Gold room ventilation – an upgrade to the gold room ventilation system was undertaken 

to meet current DMIRS requirements.

Mining activities - Darlot

Mining during the year predominantly focused on the Thomson 980, Benaud’s Link, Walters 
780, BAR, Pedersen 1110, Pedersen Lower, Grace 1140, Lillie 1060, Border 1010 and 
Grace/Marsh remnant area sectors.

Oval stoping concluded in the December Quarter 2021, with stoping transitioning to the 
Bradman, Marsh and Benaud’s Link orebodies. 

Production in the second half was focused on the Walters 780, Grace 1140 and Thomson 
980 areas, and on the GR1090 and MA1140 bulk stopes, with air-leg mining undertaken in 
the Hurst, Federation, Border and Benaud’s Link sectors.

2021 Annual Report

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
Message to Shareholders FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR (cont.)

Mining activities – King of the Hills

The majority of the production tonnes were sourced 
from narrow veins. These stopes, being the Theon, 
Oros, Margery, Jaqe, Jojen, Janos, Tyra and 
Lemonwood lodes, were supplemented by the bulk 
stope in the W4950. 

Capital development was focused on the west decline, 
with lateral development focused on the ore drives in 
the Central 5125, 5180 levels and the West 4980 level. 

Mining operations at KOTH were suspended in January 
2021. The mining contractor was fully demobilised from 
site, with the KOTH underground mine currently being 
maintained in a standby state with pumping, ventilation 
and electrical reticulation remaining active. 

Mining activities – Great Western

The Red 5 and mining contractor team mobilised to the 
Great Western site in January 2021. Land clearing and 
grubbing of topsoil for the Great Western open pit, haul 
roads, waste storage facilities, ROM, office, workshop 
and turkey’s nest dam started in mid-January 2021 
once the mining proposal for Great Western was 
approved by DMIRS.

The Great Western pit design has been split into two stages in order to manage 
the gold production profile of the pit and therefore project cash flow. Stage 1 
mining started in the first half of February 2021. Infrastructure offices, fuel farm, 
water supply, gensets, power reticulation, crib rooms and ablutions have now 
been established. 

Ore haulage from Great Western to the Darlot processing plant started in the 
second half of March 2021. Mining rates have been impacted by machine 
operators and labour shortages are now prevalent across the mining industry. 

Mining rates improved at Great Western during the June Quarter 2021, with full 
manning of the mining crews achieved from early June 2021, coupled with better 
navigation of the mining voids as well as improvements in mine design and 
haulage profiles. Mining activities have been prioritised in the starter Stage 1 pit 
to ensure that project cash flow is managed in lieu of the slower ramp-up in 
mining activities. 

Darlot – Revised Mine Plan

Following an extensive review of the Darlot mine inventory, subsequent to the 
end of the reporting period, Red 5 announced a revised Darlot mine plan based 
on utilising latent capacity in the new KOTH processing plant, an approach that 
the Company refers to as the KOTH Processing Hub Strategy.

The commencement of processing operations at KOTH in the June Quarter 
2022 will provide a more cost-effective processing alternative for Darlot ore, 
repositioning Darlot as a high-grade satellite ore source for KOTH.

Message to Shareholders FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR (cont.)

In advance of production commencing at KOTH, the following 
Darlot initiatives will occur in the 2022 financial year:

FEASIBILITY STUDY – KING OF THE HILLS 
PROJECT

 \ A Plant Capacity Study completed by Mintrex has confirmed 
that the KOTH processing plant can process up to 4.7Mtpa of 
ore without additional capital expenditure.

 \ Darlot will undertake an initial 12-month phase of underground 
mine development to establish new mining areas and reduce 
the reliance on remnant stopes.

The Final Feasibility Study (FFS) for the stand-alone integrated bulk 
open pit and underground mining and processing operation at 
KOTH was delivered in September 2020. Based on the FFS results, 
the project will provide robust financial returns from a long-life, 
large open pit and underground mining operation, for a relatively 
modest capital investment given the scale of operations envisaged.

 \ A workforce transition strategy is being developed for Darlot 
non-mining and processing personnel to relocate to KOTH, 
thereby reducing the labour recruitment risk for KOTH.

 \ From the June Quarter 2022, Darlot ore will be processed at the 
KOTH processing plant. The Darlot ore processed will be added 
to the 4Mtpa of ore proposed to be mined and processed from 
the KOTH open pit and underground mines.

In the current gold price environment, Darlot has the potential to 
add significant value for a number of years as a high-grade satellite 
ore source for KOTH, with the cash-flow generated from operations 
facilitating the ongoing exploration of Darlot’s world-class mineral 
system.

The KOTH project Life-of-Mine (LOM) plan will initially comprise a 
16-year mining operation starting in 2022 and delivering LOM 
production of 2.5 million ounces of contained gold.  The FFS paved 
the way for a final investment decision by the Red 5 Board, with the 
Company on track to deliver first gold production from the KOTH 
bulk mining operation in the June Quarter 2022.

The Life of Mine plan involves two distinct mine production phases 
over its life:

 \ Years 1-6: mining of the south and north pits, including 

underground mining in Years 1-5;

 \ Years 7-16: cut-back of the north pit and processing low-grade 

stockpiles in the final years. 

Full details of the KOTH FFS were provided in the Company’s ASX 
release dated 15 September 2020.

KING OF THE HILLS DEVELOPMENT

Following the completion of the FFS, Red 5 issued a Notice of 
Award for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction 
contract (EPC Contract) and the bulk earthworks for the 
process plant to MACA Interquip.

The EPC contract and bulk earthworks – which encompass the 
KOTH processing facility, equipping of the bore fields, high 
voltage power distribution, workshop, warehouse and bulk 
earthworks – is being undertaken as a fixed‐price contract. 
Following approval of the Mining Proposal by DMIRS, MACA 
Interquip mobilised to site in December 2020.

Since then, construction activities have progressed on schedule 
and within budget, with construction at 59% project completion 
as at the end of August 2021. 

All key permits and approvals for both construction and mining 
activities at KOTH are in place.

The KOTH mining services contract has been awarded to Macmahon 
Contractors Pty Ltd and encompasses the combined open pit and 
underground mining operations at KOTH. Red 5 has entered into a 
power purchase agreement with Zenith Energy Limited, which will build, 
own and operate approximately 30MW of power generation capacity, 
comprising high-efficiency reciprocating gas fuel power generation 
together with a 2MW (DC) photo voltaic solar farm and a battery energy 
storage system, to service KOTH’s power needs.

Gas will be supplied from the Goldfields Gas Pipeline, located 12 
kilometres west of the mine, under separate contracts, with  a gas 
supply agreement with Alinta Energy and a gas transport agreement 
with APA Group.

EXPLORATION AND RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

Emperor West

DARLOT

Red 5 has an extensive drilling commitment at Darlot, with over 35,000m of 
diamond and RC drilling completed in the 2021 financial year across multiple 
near-mine and regional prospects, aimed at increasing existing Resources and 
making new discoveries.

Great Western

Red 5 delivered an updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Great Western gold 
deposit in October 2020, comprising 870,000 tonnes grading 2.5g/t gold for 
70,300oz of contained gold.

Drilling commenced at the Great Western project in the September Quarter 2020, 
with four drill programs undertaken to test a variety of exploration targets proximal 
to the deposit and to complete Resource definition drilling. The Resource drilling 
was designed to enhance drill information in data-poor sections of the deposit to 
convert these areas to Indicated classification, and to improve the accuracy of 
Resource estimation as part of the economic study.

Cable and Mission

The Cable and Mission satellite gold deposits are located approximately 10 
kilometres north of the Darlot gold mine, along strike from the Taranaki Shear within 
the Yandal Greenstone Belt. Primary gold mineralisation at both prospects is 
predominantly associated with medium to high-grade quartz vein sets hosted 
within dolerite units, similar to the nearby Centenary orebody at the Darlot mining 
operations.

Due to the narrow ore zones associated with the Cable and Mission deposits, a 
staged and decision-based in-fill drilling approach has been adopted to delineate 
the Mineral Resources. Phase 1 RC in-fill drilling completed at Mission has 
confirmed the continuity of north-trending, steeply west-dipping quartz vein sets 
along the known 500 metre strike extent of mineralisation.  

At the Cable deposit, drill holes intersected mineralisation in small parallel 
structures, confirming the historical model for the Cable deposit from previous 
owners. The drilling has confirmed the presence of an alluvial flood plain wash of up 
to 10 metres with areas then covered by aeolian sand dunes. The weathering profile 
can be up to 120 metres deep vertically due to underlying shear zones being more 
susceptible to weathering.

Darlot East (Red 5 – Ardea JV)

The Darlot East Project is located east of the Darlot mine and consists of tenements 
E 37/1273 and E 37/1272 for a combined total area of approximately 370km2.

The project area lies within the southern end of the gold-rich Yandal greenstone 
belt and occupies a complex lithostructural setting which is dominated by multiple 
generations of granitoid emplacement and the north-west striking and easterly-
dipping Celia Shear Zone, which runs along the eastern side of the tenure for 
approximately 25 kilometres.

King of the West

The King of the West prospect is located within tenement E37/1253, in close 
proximity to the Goldfields Highway and 10 kilometres south of the Great Western 
mine.

The geological setting of the project area shows strong similarities to the nearby 
Wonder/Celtic and Great Western areas, comprising north-south trending 
greenstone packages intruded by granitoids which are intersected by WNW-ESE 
striking structures.

The Emperor West target area is situated in the 
south-western area of the Darlot tenure and lies 
within the fertile and under-explored Emperor 
structural corridor. A number of high-resolution 
open file aeromagnetic surveys have been obtained 
that cover the project area, and interpretation and 
re-processing of these surveys have highlighted 
structural anomalies similar to those associated 
with nearby gold deposits.

Based on this interpretation, it appears that the 
target area contains a significant lithological 
boundary between a granitic intrusion covering the 
southern part and mafic intrusives (dolerite/gabbro) 
in the northern part of the tenement. These 
contacts are highly prospective for gold 
mineralisation, as the shear zones along these 
contacts allow fluid flow and the difference in 
rheological and geochemical characteristics are 
favourable for generating traps for gold to 
precipitate.

KING OF THE HILLS

Bulk Mineral Resource update

Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, Red 
5 reported an updated bulk mining Mineral 
Resource estimate for KOTH, comprising 90.7 
million tonnes at 1.4g/t Au for an estimated 4.12 
million ounces of contained gold, with 73% of the 
total Mineral Resource estimate (69.6Mt @ 1.4g/t Au 
for 3.03Moz) in the higher-confidence “Indicated 
Resource” category.

Importantly, the update included a 19% increase in 
contained ounces in the underground component 
of the Mineral Resource estimate, which now 
stands at 12.1Mt @ 2.1g/t Au for 830,000 ounces of 
contained gold, following the completion of 
underground drilling over the 2020 calendar year.  
The Resource remains open at depth.

The updated Resource estimate is based on an 
additional 33,088m of diamond drill core drilled 
underground between February 2020 to July 2020, 
comprising a total of 60 resource definition drill 
holes for 18,129 metres and 109 grade control drill 
holes for 14,959 metres.

Drilling planned in FY-22

In preparation for mining at KOTH, underground 
drilling commenced with a single rig in August 2021, 
with a second underground rig commencing in April 
2022.  Approximately 54,000 metres of drilling has 
been planned in the 2022 financial year, with an 
additional 86,000 metres in the 2023 financial year 
for an estimated total of 140,000 metres. Drilling will 
be focused on a mixture of grade control, resource 
definition and exploration programs.

2021 Annual Report

Message to Shareholders FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR (cont.)

SIANA GOLD PROJECT, 
PHILIPPINES
Through its Philippine-affiliated company, 
Greenstone Resources Corporation (GRC), 
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 have 
been suspended since April 2017, pending 
an improvement in operating conditions in 
the Philippines. Ongoing activities at the 
Siana project during the year included 
maintaining dewatering of the open pit, 
infrastructure maintenance, monitoring of 
geotechnical issues and community and 
government relations activities.

Subsequent to the end of the reporting 
period, in July 2021 the Red 5 Group 
entered into a binding agreement with TVI 
Resource Development (Phils.) Inc. (TVIRD) 
to divest its interests in GRC, which holds 
both the Siana Gold Project and the 
Mapawa Gold Project in the Philippines.  
TVIRD is the Philippine affiliate of the 
Canadian-listed company, TVI Pacific Inc 
and has two operating mines and a number 
of other development projects in the 
Philippines with interests in gold, nickel and 
copper. 

Consideration for the acquisition comprises 
US$19 million cash payable upon 
completion and Net Smelter Return royalty 
of 3.25% payable for up to 619,000 ounces 
of gold, with an estimated future face value 
of US$36 million (based on a US$1,800/oz 
gold price)

The divestment of its interests in Siana is 
consistent with Red 5’s strategy to focus on 
its KOTH and Darlot gold mines in Western 
Australia.

CORPORATE
King of the Hills project finance 
facility

Red 5 has secured $175 million in project 
finance facilities from BNP Paribas, 
Australia branch, The Hongkong and 
Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, 
Sydney Branch and Macquarie Bank 
Limited to develop KOTH.  Financial close 
for the $175 million KOTH debt funding 
package was achieved on 30 June 2021, 
and the first draw-down occurred in July 
2021.

The project financing facilities have been 
provided on usual financial terms for a 
syndicate-banking group, featuring 
competitively priced and flexible facilities.

Entitlement offer

To conclude development financing for 
KOTH and to satisfy one of the conditions 
precedent for the finance facility, Red 5 also 
undertook in April 2021 a fully underwritten 
$60 million, 4-for-21 accelerated non-
renounceable entitlement offer to all 
shareholders. In addition to funding the 
KOTH development, funds were also used 
for drilling and development programs at 
the Darlot project and working capital.

Senior appointments

Ms Andrea Sutton was appointed to the 
Board as an additional non-executive 
director in November 2020, and Mr Jason 
Greive was appointed Chief Operating 
Officer commencing in November 2020.

Financial

The Group recorded sales revenue of 
$173.4 million for the 2021 financial year.  
Net cash flow from operating activities was 
$14.6 million with $49.8 million in cash and 
bullion at year-end, of which $28.5 million 
was allocated to reserve accounts and bank 
guarantees for the KOTH project. 

For the year ended 30 June 2021, the 
Company recorded a gross profit from 
operations of $2.3 million, a net loss from 
operations after income tax of $9.5 million, 
and a net loss after adjusting for the Siana 
discontinued operations of $43.1 million.

SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
With funding for the KOTH development in 
place and with the construction of this 
2.4Moz, 16-year life-of-mine project 
progressing on schedule, the coming 12 
months are set to be an exciting period for 
Red 5 as we prepare to commence 
production from one of Australia’s largest 
new gold mines.

The KOTH site is currently a hive of activity, 
with the final deliveries of long-lead items 
arriving in the September Quarter 2021, with 
work programs on track to achieve first gold 
production from the new processing facility 
before the end of the 2022 financial year.

A new streamlined mine plan has been 
developed for the Darlot mining operation, 
which will ultimately see ore trucked from 
Darlot to the new state-of-the-art 
processing facility at KOTH.

This is expected to deliver a significant 
reduction in operating costs in the 2023 
financial year, providing the ability for Red 5 
to implement a more aggressive mine 
development plan to unlock the significant 
Resource base at Darlot to reduce the 
dependency on remnant stopes.

In parallel with these activities, Red 5 
intends to continue to maintain a strong 
focus on exploration and resource 
development, with major drilling programs 
either underway or imminent across the 
tenement portfolio. 

All mining, development and exploration 
programs will be underpinned by an 
unwavering focus on the Company’s 
environment, social and governance 
commitments.

The coming year is set to be an exciting 
period for Red 5. This positive position is 
thanks to the exceptional hard work and 
commitment of the Red 5 team of staff and 
contractors, and I would like to thank 
everyone for their efforts over the past year.

I would also like to thank our shareholders 
for their continued support.

MINERAL RESOURCES AND ORE RESERVES STATEMENT

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN GOLD OPERATIONS
The Mineral Resource for the Darlot project has increased by 10% for an additional 131koz since 30 June 2020.  This resource increase  
has been the result of several factors including updated resource models for the Centenary and Pederson deposits, improved accuracy of 
the lode interpretations at Darlot and from additional resource drilling during the period.  

Since the acquisition of the Great Western project in April 2020, Red 5 has developed the project into an Open Pit reserve in October  
2020 of 437.5kt @ 2.5 g/t for 35.4koz contained ounces.  Great Western is currently being mined with ore processed at the Darlot 
processing facility. 

The combined Darlot underground and Great Western open pit reserves at 30 June 2021 was 2.64Mt @ 2.6g/t for 203koz of  
contained ounces.  

During the 2021 financial year, Red 5 reported an updated Mineral Resource estimate for the King of the Hills (KOTH) gold project since  
the March 2020 release which was used for the KOTH Final Feasibility Study (FFS).  Drilling and resource definition programmes completed 
post the KOTH FFS resource model resulted in an updated open pit and underground Mineral Resource estimate for KOTH totalling  
90.7Mt at 1.4g/t Au for 4.12Moz of contained gold as at 30 June 2021 (refer to ASX release dated 22 July 2021).

The combined open pit and underground at King of the Hills including regional open pit reserves as at 30 June 2021 was 67.5Mt @ 1.1g/t 
for 2.43Moz of contained ounces.

The Cable and Mission JORC 2004 resource of 185koz of contained gold is not included in the Red 5 resource figures quoted  as at 
30 June 2021,  as  these resources form part of the exclusive sub-lease over the southern portion of Exploration Licence E37/1220.  

The Company’s Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates, net of mining depletion, as at 30 June 2021 are detailed below.

MINERAL RESOURCES AND ORE RESERVES STATEMENT (cont.)

PHILIPPINE OPERATIONS
SIANA GOLD PROJECT
As at 30 June 2021, the  Group held interests in the Siana gold project located in the Philippines.  On 29 July 2021, Red 5 announced a 
binding agreement had been entered into to divest the Siana Gold Project to TVI Resource Development (Phils.) Inc.

An annual review and update to the Siana Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates for the year ended 30 June 2021 has been 
undertaken, with no resultant change from the figures quoted as at 30 June 2020.  

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. 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 2021.  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.

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. In 
February 2021 the King of the Hills gold mine was put into care 
and maintenance until completion of the construction of the new 
processing plant at King of the Hills.

Covid-19 response

The Company will continue to enforce travel restrictions, testing, 
quarantine, and trace and isolate regimes to ensure the health and 
well-being of our people and keep our sites operating.

Red 5 continues to proactively manage the potential impact of the 
COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company’s operations. The 
Management Response Plan implemented in February 2020 is 
focused on ensuring the health and safety of Red 5 personnel and 
limiting the disruption risk to mining and processing operations. 
This plan has been progressively developed in line with the formal 
guidance of State and Federal health authorities, close 
coordination with the Australian Resources and Energy Group 
(AMMA) and under the Company’s existing Emergency 
Management Policies. 

The ongoing focus to protect the health and safety of our 
employees and other stakeholders through the COVID-19 
pandemic has pleasingly resulted in no cases identified at Darlot 
and King of the Hills operations to this point and there has been 
no material impact from COVID-19 on the Company’s operational 
performance.

Darlot and King of the Hills gold operations

A total of 76,104 ounces of gold was recovered for the 12 months 
to 30 June 2021 with ore sourced from the Darlot Gold Mine, 
Great Western and from King of the Hills (KOTH) operation.

During the year, the Group was in advanced negotiations with 
interested parties to divest its interests in Philippine affiliated 
company, Greenstone Resources Corporation (GRC). As at 30 
June 2021, the assets of Siana were classified as held for sale, 
hence all assets and liabilities were reclassified from non-current 
to current, and profit or loss is now presented under discontinued 
operations. 

The Red 5 Group entered into a binding agreement in July 2021 
with TVI Resource Development (Phils) Inc to divest its interests in 
Greenstone Resources Corporation (GRC), which holds the Siana 
Gold Project and the Mapawa Gold Project in the Philippines. 
Mining operations at the Siana gold project remained suspended 
during the period. Ongoing activities at Siana include dewatering 
of the open pit, infrastructure maintenance and monitoring of 
geotechnical issues. 

Summary of the binding offer:

 \ US$19 million cash payable upon completion; and

 \ Net Smelter Return royalty of 3.25% payable for up to 619,000 
ounces of gold, with an estimated future face value of US$36 
million (based on a US$1,800/oz gold price); As per the 
accounting standards, the royalty represents a variable 
consideration and is treated as a contingent asset pending 
re-commencement of production at Siana, hence royalty 
accounting value is not recorded as at 30 June 2021.

Considering that the Siana net proceeds from sale are lower than 
the carrying value of its assets, an impairment of discontinued 
operations of $26.568 million was recorded as at 30 June 2021. 

Exploration and resource development

Consolidation of the Group’s Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 
across the operations remains a strong focus for Red 5.  During 
the year, no regional drilling activities were conducted. Turnaround 
times for assay results remain very slow due to the current 
industry backlog. There are approximately 5,300 gold samples 
and approximately 400 multi-element samples outstanding for 
FY21, which cover projects from the King of the West, Darlot East 
and Darlot West E37/1054 air-core programs, as well as resource 
definition and diamond drill holes from the Mission and Cable 
Project areas.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont.)

Income statement

3.1  Operating Review (cont.)
The Mission and Cable satellite gold deposits are located 
approximately 10km north of the Darlot Gold Mine, along strike 
from the Taranaki Shear within the Yandal Greenstone Belt. 
Primary gold mineralisation at both prospects is predominantly 
associated with medium to high-grade quartz vein sets hosted 
within dolerite units, similar to the nearby Centenary orebody at 
the Darlot mining operations. Due to the narrow ore zones 
associated with the Mission and Cable deposits, a staged and 
decision-based in-fill drilling approach has been adopted to 
delineate the Mineral Resources. Phase 1, 20m x 40m RC in-fill 
drilling completed in the December 2020 Quarter at Mission has 
confirmed the continuity of north-trending, steeply west-dipping 
quartz vein sets along the known 500m strike extent of 
mineralisation. 

The Group recorded a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 
June 2021 of $43,245,000 in comparison to a net profit after tax 
for the year ended 30 June 2020 of $4,544,000.

Darlot and King of the Hills recorded a gross profit for the period 
of $2,308,000 (30 June 2020: $39,226,000). A combined 75,907 
ounces of gold were sold during the year, which together with 
silver sales and hedging adjustments resulted in total revenue of 
$173,358,000. Cost of sales for the period of $171,050,000 
comprised production costs, royalties, movement in stockpiles 
and depreciation charge. 

The Group’s net loss was mainly driven by the impairment of the 
available for sale Siana operation. In addition, administrative 
expenses, exploration expenditure, ineffective portion of cashflow 
hedges, Siana project expenses were paid. 

Feasibility studies – King of the Hills project

Balance sheet

The Final Feasibility Study (FFS) for the stand-alone integrated 
bulk open pit and underground mining and processing operation 
at KOTH was a key focus for Red 5 throughout FY20 and was 
completed in September 2020. 

Process plant construction

The Company continues to make significant progress with the 
development of its King of the Hills (KOTH) Gold Project in 
Western Australia, which has now passed the 50% project 
completion milestone. The KOTH Project is progressing on 
schedule for first gold in the June 2022 quarter and remains within 
budget, with key construction progress milestones.

Corporate

During the year, the company completed a funding package of 
$235 million to support the construction and development of King 
of the Hills, comprising equity raising and debt facilities. The 
equity raising included a fully underwritten $60 million, 4-for-21 
accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer to all shareholder. 
The debt facility of $175 million was provided from a syndicate 
comprising BNP Paribas, Australia branch, The Hongkong and 
Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Sydney Branch and 
Macquarie Bank Limited. Conditions precedent for the facility 
were achieved on 30 June 2021.

Ms Andrea Sutton was appointed as an Independent Non-
Executive Director of the Company on 18 November 2020. 

During the year ended 30 June 2021, Red 5’s Australian Stock 
Exchange classification changed from a “Mining Exploration 
Entity” to a “Mining Producing Entity”. 

3.2 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Gold sales

Gold and silver sales for the reporting period totalled 
$173,358,000 (2020: $200,332,000). 

Total assets increased from $343,395,000 to $345,485,000 at 30 
June 2021. The net increase in total assets was mainly driven by 
the $60,000,000 equity raising for the construction of the King of 
the Hills processing plant. This was partly offset by repayments of 
loans and operating costs. 

Total liabilities were $114,609,000, a decrease of $32,737,000 from 
30 June 2020. This was mainly driven by the close out of gold 
hedges held during the year and the full repayment of the working 
capital facility with Macquarie Bank Limited; this was offset by an 
increase in provision for rehabilitation at King of the Hills as a 
result of the expansion in land disturbance for construction site 
areas. 

Cash flow

During the year, cash and cash equivalents decreased by 
$98,805,000. 

Free Cash inflows from operating activities for the period were 
$14,555,000. Cash receipts from customers of $174,677,000 
reflect the sale of gold and silver which benefited from higher gold 
prices during the year. This was offset by cash outflows of 
$160,122,000, driven by the Great Western development cost and 
ramp up to full production and higher operational costs.

Net cash outflows used in investing activities for the period were 
$138,437,000, reflecting the King of the Hills processing plant 
ongoing construction, bank guarantees for the gas transport 
agreement and tailing storage facility required for the KOTH 
project and sustaining capital for the Darlot operations.

The net cash from financing activities of $25,918,000 reflects the 
net proceeds received from the retail and institutional components 
of the $60,000,000 Entitlement Offer undertaken during the year, 
this was offset by the repayment of the Macquarie Bank working 
capital facility ($12,000,000), the closure of outstanding hedges 
($4,774,000); the transfers to restricted cash and reserve project 
accounts ($7,500,000) required by the King of the Hills debt 
funding package and repayments of lease liabilities ($7,393,000).

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE  
END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

Sale of Siana gold mine (Philippines)

In July 2021 the Group entered into a binding agreement with TVI 
Resource Development (Phils.) Inc. (TVIRD) to divest its interests 
in Philippine affiliated company Greenstone Resources 
Corporation (GRC), which holds both the Siana Gold Project 
(Siana) and the Mapawa Gold Project. TVIRD is the Philippine 
affiliate of the Canadian-listed TVI Pacific Inc.

TVIRD will become the 100% owner of GRC and therefore the 
divestment includes the process plant and all other infrastructure 
at Siana. A royalty of 3.25% payable for up to 619,000 ounces of 
gold will be payable to the Red 5 Group from first gold from the 
restart of the Siana processing plant.

Upon completion of all closing conditions of the agreement, which 
include certain Philippine regulatory approvals expected to be 
satisfied during the September 2021 quarter, the Group will 
receive gross proceeds of US$19 million through the repayment of 
outstanding shareholder advances due from its Philippine-
affiliated company, Red 5 Asia Inc, which is a shareholder of GRC. 

In September 2020 a total of 10,991,282 performance rights 
(Performance Rights) that were issued to key management 
personnel, senior management and operating personnel in 2019 
were vested following the partial achievement of performance 
conditions (being Total Shareholder Return outperformance 
against the All Ordinaries Gold Index and increases in ore 
reserves) measured over the three years ended 30 June 2021. 
Upon vesting, 10,991,282 Performance Rights have been 
exercised into an equivalent number of ordinary fully paid shares 
in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The balance of 7,327,519 
Performance Rights were forfeited due to performance conditions 
(being operating costs performance against budget and safety 
compliance) not being met.

7. 

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE  
OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS 
The Company has made an agreement indemnifying all the 
Directors and officers of the Company against all losses or 
liabilities incurred by each Director or officer in their capacity as 
Directors or officers of the Company to the extent permitted by 
the Corporations Act 2001. The indemnification specifically 
excludes wilful acts of negligence. The Company paid insurance 
premiums in respect of Director’s and Officer’ Liability Insurance 
contracts for current officers of the Company, including officers of 
the Company’s controlled entities. The liabilities insured are 
damages and legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or 
criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in 
their capacity as officers of entities in the Group. During the 
financial year, Red 5 paid premiums of $318,825 (2020: $238,068).

The divestment of its interests in Siana is consistent with Red 5’s 
strategy to focus on its King of the Hills and Darlot gold mines in 
Western Australia, with the aim of becoming a substantial mid-tier 
Australian gold producer.

Project finance facility for the KOTH Project

Financial close was achieved for the $175 million Project Finance 
Facility for the KOTH Project on 30 June 2021.  Subsequent to 
year end, the first draw-downs were completed totalling 
$28.712 million.

Other than the matters discussed above, there has not arisen in 
the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of 
this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual 
nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to 
significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of 
those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future 
financial years.

11.4  PRINCIPLES OF REMUNERATION

and longer-term objectives

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 within the range of P62.5 

and P75, which represents the 62.5th and 75th percentiles of 
the relevant market data;

 \ 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.

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 Committee 
and is linked to both relevant market practices and the degree to 
which the Board intends participants to focus on short and 
long-term outcomes.  

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

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, in 
terms of gold production, operating costs, group EBITDA, health 
and safety targets and specific operations-related milestones 
including project development milestones for the King of the Hills 
project. 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 production or 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 generally 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.

11.5.3  Long-term incentives through participation 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 are granted with a measurement period of three years with vesting 
conditions comprising Total Shareholder Return (TSR) outperformance against the All Ordinaries Gold Index and agreed operational 
measures including growth in ore reserves, operating costs performance against budget, safety performance and strategic targets. The 
TSR measure is subject to a positive TSR gate and all measures are also subject to a production or financial gate. The Group’s 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 Rights Plan. The primary purpose of this plan is 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 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.

The short term incentive bonus component of remuneration is based on achievement of group and specific role related operational 
targets for the year ended 30 June 2021 including achievement of core EBITDA targets, achievement of milestones on the development 
schedule for the King of the Hills project, the achievement of gold production and all-in-sustaining cost targets for the financial year and 
individual effectiveness. A gate of 90% of budgeted gold production level applies to all KPIs. 

The production gate for the year ended 30 June 2021 was not achieved and therefore no bonus was awarded for the financial year. The 
Committee however, elected to award Mr Greive, who had commenced employment as Chief Operating Officer during the financial year, 
a short-term incentive entitlement based on the Company’s revised production guidance published in January 2021. The Committee 
elected to make the award as 50% payable in cash and 50% payable in deferred rights.

11.6.2  LTI performance pay outcome

In accordance with the terms of the Red 5 Performance Rights Plan (PR Plan), a total of 5,636,475 performance rights that were issued 
to key management personnel in 2019 reached the end of their performance period. As at the date of this report 3,945,532 Performance 
Rights have vested following the partial achievement of performance conditions (being Total Shareholder Return outperformance 
against the All Ordinaries Gold Index and increases in ore reserves) measured over the three years ended 30 June 2021. The Board 
made a vesting determination based on the achievement of performance conditions over the measurement period and also taking into 
account, amongst other factors considered relevant, Company performance from the perspective of shareholders over the 
measurement period.

The balance of 1,690,943 Performance Rights were forfeited due to performance conditions not being met (being operating costs 
performance against budget and safety compliance).

Based on the above, the following was the LTI awarded to KMPs.

11.7  KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL SERVICE AGREEMENTS

11.7.1  Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration

In accordance with current corporate governance practices, the structure for the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors and senior 
executives is separate and distinct. Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration payable to Non-Executive Directors, 
with the current approved limit being $650,000 per annum. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee recommend the actual 
payments to Directors and the Board is responsible for ratifying any recommendations.  

The current fee policy is as follows:

 \ The Chair receives fees of $135,000 per annum plus superannuation; 

 \ Non-Executive Directors receive $100,000 per annum plus superannuation; 

 \ Chairs of Board committees receive:

 \ $15,000 per annum plus superannuation for the audit committee, and

 \ $10,000 per annum plus superannuation for other committees; 

 \ Committee members are not paid any additional fee;  

 \ Non-Executive Directors are entitled to statutory superannuation benefits; and  

 \ The Board approves any consultancy arrangements for Non-Executive Directors who provide services outside of and in addition to 

their duties as Non-Executive Directors.

Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to participate in performance-based remuneration schemes. However, the Board may seek 
annual shareholder approval for a Non-Executive Directors’ share plan, under which Non-Executive Directors can elect to receive a 
portion of their existing Directors fees in shares in Red 5. All Directors are entitled to have premiums on indemnity insurance paid by 
Red 5. During the financial year, Red 5 paid premiums of $318,825 (2020: $238,068) to insure the Directors and other officers of the 
consolidated entity. The liabilities insured are for costs and expenses that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings 
that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of entities in the consolidated entity.

restricted shares which are subject to disposal restrictions until 30 June 2023. As of reporting date they had not yet been exercised into 
restricted shares. They have been provisionally valued at $0.18 (14-day VWAP of Red 5 share price as at 30 June 2021).

2021 (being a period of 1 year after the end of the award measurement period). Mr Tasovac was employed on that date and the rights vested 
on 30 June 2021 and automatically exercised into ordinary shares.

Share based payments expense for the shares issued, service and deferred rights for KMP’s was $123,794 (2020: $359,234). The fair

The Tranche A Rights have been valued using a hybrid employee share option pricing model which uses a correlated simulation that 
simultaneously calculates the TSR of the Company and the Index on a risk neutral basis as at the vesting date with regards to the 
measurement period. The percentage by which the return on the stock exceeds the total return on the Index is calculated as at the 
vesting date and a vesting percentage is calculated from the vesting schedule. The forecast share price at the vesting date is then used 
to calculate the value of the Right. The price is adjusted based on the vesting percentage, then discounted to its present value.

Tranche B, Tranche C and Tranche D Rights are valued using a single share price barrier model. The model incorporates a Monte Carlo 
simulation and simulates the stock’s share price at the test date. Rights with market based and non-market based vesting conditions 
can only be exercised following the satisfaction of these exercise conditions.

(a)  In accordance with the terms of the Red 5 Rights Plan, performance rights that were issued to key management personnel, senior 

management have vested following the partial achievement of performance conditions measured over the three years ended 30 June 2021. 
Unmet performance conditions have lapsed, as a result these performance rights have been forfeited. 

(b)  Represents number of performance rights held by Mr Shadlow on 30 June 2021, noting that he ceased to be a KMP on 30 November 2020.

End of Audited Remuneration Report

 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 $173,887 (2020: $126,436) 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.

Notes to the Consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2021

REPORTING ENTITY

1. 
Red 5 Limited (“parent entity” or “the Company”) 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 2021 
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. 

2.1 

BASIS OF PREPARATION

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

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

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue 
by the Board of Directors on 31 August 2021.

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. 

2.3  BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the 
historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments 
and certain other financial assets and liabilities which are required 
to be measured at fair value. 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.

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 (refer note 4.22).

2.6  ROUNDING OFF

The company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations 
(Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 
and in accordance with that instrument, all financial information 
has been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless 
otherwise stated.

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 35.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4. 
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. 

4.1 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial report incorporates the assets and 
liabilities of all entities controlled by the Company as at 30 June 
2021 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.

42

2021 Annual Report

 
 
Notes to the Consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2021 (cont.)

4. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  
POLICIES (cont.)

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 are measured at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.  Items of 
plant and equipment are depreciated using a combination of units 
of production, 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 includes mainly capitalised software. Intangible 
assets are initially recorded at cost of acquisition, being the fair 
value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly 
attributable to the acquisition. Capitalised software is amortised 
on a straight-line basis over three years commencing when it is 
available for use. 

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.

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, other than 
costs relating to acquisitions. 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 PROPERTIES

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. 

2021 Annual Report

Notes to the Consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2021 (cont.)

4. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  
POLICIES (cont.) 

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 invento-
ries. 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 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.

Mineral rights

Mineral rights comprise identifiable exploration and evaluation 
assets, mineral resources and ore reserves, which are acquired as 
part of a business combination or joint venture acquisition and are 
recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition. Where possible, 
mineral interests are attributable to specific areas of interest and 
are classified within mine properties. It is amortised over the life of 
the mine.

Asset retirement obligation

Asset retirement obligation represents the estimated future cost of 
closure and rehabilitation of the mine site. It is amortised over the 
life of the mine.

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.

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.

44

2021 Annual Report

 
Notes to the Consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2021 (cont.)

4. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  
POLICIES (cont.) 

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 trade receivables, the Group uses the simplified approach to 
recognise impairments based on the lifetime expected credit loss. 
For other receivables, the Group applies the general approach 
and recognises impairments based on a 12-month expected 
credit loss. Impairment allowances are based on a forward-
looking expected credit loss model. Where there has been a 
significant increase in credit risk, a loss allowance for lifetime 
expected credit losses is required.

Exposures are grouped by external credit rating and security 
options and an expected credit loss rate is calculated accordingly. 
Where applicable, actual credit loss experience is also taken into 
account. For remaining receivables without an external credit 
rating or security option, a rating of BB (Standard and Poor’s) is 
used, on the basis that there is no support that it is investment 
grade, nor is there any evidence of default.

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

Derivative financial instruments

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

Cashflow hedges

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

4.11  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 Monte Carlo model or 
equivalent valuation technique. The cost of equity settled 
transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding 
increase in equity, over the period in which the performance 
conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant 
employees become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions 
at each reporting date until vesting date reflects the extent to 
which the vesting period has expired and the number of awards 
that, in the opinion of the Directors, will ultimately vest.

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

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

4.13  FOREIGN CURRENCY

Foreign currency transactions

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

Financial statements of foreign operations

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

4.14  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  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

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

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

4.18  REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS  

WITH CUSTOMERS

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. 
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 as this is the point at which the customer 
obtains the ability to direct the use and obtains substantially all of 
the remaining benefits of ownership of the asset.

The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon 
price and the number of ounces delivered. Payment is due upon 
delivery into the sales contract.

As part of the risk management policy, the Group enters into gold 
forward contracts to manage the gold price of a proportion of 
anticipated gold sales. The counterparty to the gold forward 
contracts is BNP Paribas, Australia Branch, the Hongkong and 
Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Sydney Branch and 
Macquarie Bank Limited (“MBL”) (the counterparties).

4. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  
POLICIES (cont.) 

It is management’s intention to settle each contract through 
physical delivery of gold and as such, the gold forward sale 
contracts disclosed below do not meet the criteria of financial 
instruments for accounting purposes. This is referred to as the 
“normal purchase / sale” exemption. Accordingly, the contracts 
will be accounted for as sale contracts with revenue recognised 
once the gold has been delivered to the counterparties.

4.19  LEASES

At the inception of a contract the Group assesses whether the 
contract is or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a 
lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified 
asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. 

The Group recognises it as a right-of-use asset and a 
corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease 
arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term 
leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) 
and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group 
recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a 
straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another 
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in 
which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the 
lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, 
discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate 
cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental 
borrowing rate. 

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured 
on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net 
present value of the following lease payments: 

 \ fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), 

less any lease incentives receivable 

 \ variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate 

 \ amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under 

residual value guarantees 

 \ the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is 

reasonably certain to exercise that option, and 

 \ payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease 

term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the 
carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using 
the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying 
amount to reflect the lease payments made. 

The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a 
corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) 
whenever: 

 \ The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or 

change in circumstances resulting in a change in the 
assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the 
lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease 
payments using a revised discount rate; 

 \ The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate 
or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual 
value, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by 
discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged 
discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a 
change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised 
discount rate is used); 

 \ A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not 
accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease 
liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified 
lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised 
discount rate at the effective date of the modification. 

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the 
corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the 
commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any 
initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Whenever the Group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and 
remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or 
restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms 
and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and measured 
under AASB 137. To the extent that the costs relate to a right-of-use 
asset, the costs are included in the related right-of-use asset, unless 
those costs are incurred to produce inventories. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease 
term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers 
ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use 
asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, 
the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the 
underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement 
date of the lease. 

The Group applies AASB 136 to determine whether a right-of-use 
asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as 
described in the ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ policy (as outlined 
in the financial report for the annual reporting period). 

Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not 
included in the measurement the lease liability and the right-of-use 
asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the 
period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments 
occurs and are included in profit or loss. 

As a practical expedient, AASB 16 permits a lessee not to separate 
non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and 
associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The 
Group has not used this practical expedient. For a contract that 
contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or 
non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the 
contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative 
stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate 
stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  
POLICIES (cont.) 

4.20  DISCONTINUED OPERATION

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business, 
the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly 
distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:

 \ represents a separate major line of business or geographic 

area of operations;

 \ is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate 
major line of business or geographic area of operations; or

 \ is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of 
disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified 
as held-for-sale.

When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the 
comparative statement of profit or loss and OCI is re-presented as 
if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the 
comparative year.

4.21  ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and 
liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that 
they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through 
continuing use.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the 
lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any 
impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, 
and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, 
except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets or 
deferred tax assets which continue to be measured in accordance 
with the Group’s other accounting policies. Impairment losses on 
initial classification as held-for-sale or held-for-distribution and 
subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised 
in profit or loss.

Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, 
plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated, and 
any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.

4.22  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 is determined as the higher of value-in-
use and fair value less costs of disposal.  Value-in-use is generally 
determined as the present value of the estimated future cash 
flows. Present values are determined using a risk adjusted 
discount rate appropriate to the risks inherent in the asset.

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

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

Rehabilitation and mine closure provisions

As set out in note 4.14, 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.

2021 Annual Report

 
 
Notes to the Consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2021 (cont.)

4. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  
POLICIES (cont.) 

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

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)

 \ 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.

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.

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.

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. 

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, 
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.

4.23  NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS  

AND INTERPRETATIONS

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been 
published that are not effective for the 30 June 2021 reporting 
period. The Group has elected not to early adopt any of the new 
standards or interpretations. These are not expected to have a 
material impact.

Some of the potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and deductable temporary differences have not been brought to 
account at 30 June 2021. 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.

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. Net realisable value adjustments of $3.243 million were made 
during the year (30 June 2020: nil). 

During the year a provision of $0.683 million was made for slow-moving stores, spares and consumables inventory at the Darlot mine.

(a)  Property, plant and equipment includes the Darlot 1.0 Mtpa processing plant facility with a net book value of $13.347 million. The Group 
identified indicators of impairment at year end resulting from the King of the Hills processing hub strategy announced to the market in 
August 2021, and performed an impairment assessment on this asset. The Group concluded that the value of the asset is recoverable as at 
30 June 2021, however the Group also identified that a reasonably possible change in the gold production assumption could cause the 
carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount.   

(b)  During the year ended additions included construction of the KOTH processing plant and the completion of the accommodation facility and 

administration blocks at the site. It also included new leased assets, sustaining capital and tailing storage facility improvements. 

(c)  Includes disposals of old mobile machinery.

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)  Documentary stamp duty provision:  

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

(c)  Other provisions:  

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

LEASE LIABILITIES 

17 
Lease liabilities include electricity and gas power plants, vehicles and equipment. Lease liabilities expire between September 2021 and 
December 2024 and bear interest between 4.5% and 7.5%. 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 leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased 
assets. The fair value of the lease liabilities approximates their carrying values.

The following schedule outlines the total minimum loan payments due for the lease obligations over their remaining term:

During the year as part of the King of the Hills debt funding, the Group closed all existing hedge contracts and entered into new gold 
forward contracts amounting to 189,651 ounces of gold produced at the King of the Hills operation. The hedge contracts are priced at 
an average of $2,154 per ounce and for the period from October 2022 to June 2025. The new gold forward contracts are accounted for 
use the own use exemption.

In the prior year the Group had a hedge liability position reflecting a negative mark-to-market value of gold contracts. As at year ended 
30 June 2020, metal hedges comprising of forward contracts for 67,000 ounces of gold at an average price of $2,089 per ounce for the 
period July 2020 to September 2021. In March 2021 the remaining open hedges were closed as mentioned above. To the extent that the 
closure related to production hedged from July 2021 to September 2021, the gain is retained in the cashflow hedge reserve and 
released to the income statement once the production occurs.

(a)  The foreign currency translation reserve comprises foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of 

foreign operations where the functional currency is different to the presentation currency of the reporting entity. This will be released to the 
income statement on the sale of Siana expected in FY 2022.

(b)  This reserve is for defined retirement benefit fund for Philippines employees of $0.130 million (2020: $0.054 million). 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 share-based payment reserve includes performance rights, service and deferred rights reserve. It arises on the granting and vesting of 

equity instruments. Refer note 31 for further details.

(d)  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. At year-end there were no open hedges (refer note 19). 

EARNINGS PER SHARE 

22 
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.

23  DISCONTINUTED OPERATION
Sale of Siana gold mine (Philippines)

During the year the Group has been in negotiations with interested parties to divest its interests in Philippine affiliated company 
Greenstone Resources Corporation (GRC), which holds both the Siana Gold Project (Siana) and the Mapawa Gold Project.

In July 2021 a binding agreement with TVI Resource Development (Phils.) Inc. (TVIRD) was entered into for the sale of GRC. TVIRD is 
the Philippine affiliate of the Canadian-listed TVI Pacific Inc.

The divestment includes the process plant and all other infrastructure at Siana. A royalty of 3.25% payable for up to 619,000 ounces of 
gold will be payable to the Group from first gold from the restart of the Siana processing plant. Upon completion of all closing 
conditions of the agreement, which include certain Philippine regulatory approvals expected to be satisfied during the September 2021 
quarter, the Group will receive gross proceeds of US$19 million (approximately A$25.3 million) through the repayment of outstanding 
shareholder advances due from its Philippine-affiliated company, Red 5 Asia Inc, which is a shareholder of GRC. 

The divestment of its interests in Siana is consistent with Red 5’s strategy to focus on its King of the Hills and Darlot gold mines in 
Western Australia, with the aim of becoming a substantial mid-tier Australian gold producer.

(i)  Due to uncertainty of receipt of the 3.25% royalties on the ounces of gold produced by GRC in the future, an impairment loss to the write 

down the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation to the lower of its carrying amount and fair value was incurred. 

The fair value of the discontinued operation is based on the sale proceeds of US$19 million (A$25.7 million) less selling costs of AUD 
equivalent of $3.5 million for brokerage and legal fees, employee separation costs and committed expenses. The fair value does not 
recognise future receipts from the royalty as mentioned in the sale agreement.

to note 23), the Philippines segment is classified as a discontinued operation. The Australia segment is made up of the Darlot and King 
of the Hills operations.  

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

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 two customers in Australia and has managed its exposure to credit risk by analysing the creditworthiness of the 
customer.

Cash and cash equivalents

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

Trade and other receivables

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

Exposure to credit risk

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

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

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

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

Hedge accounting

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

At 30 June 2021 there were commitments over future sales of gold from the King of the Hills operation (refer to note 26). These are 
accounted for using own exemption and not regarded as financial instruments. The following table sets out the current hedge position 
and fair value as at 30 June 2021:

The carrying amount of derivative financial instruments are valued using appropriate valuations models with inputs such as forward gold 
prices. The potential effect of using reasonably possible alternative assumptions in these models, based on changes in the forward gold 
price by 10 per cent while holding all other variables constant, is shown in the following table:

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)

CURRENCY RISK

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

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

Sensitivity analysis

A 10 per cent strengthening of the Australian dollar against the United States dollar on the 30 June 2021 would have increased/
(decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis 
was performed on the same basis for the prior year.

A 10 per cent weakening of the Australian dollar against the above currencies at 30 June 2021 would have had the equal but opposite 
effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

INTEREST RATE RISK

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

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

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

An increase of 100 basis points or decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) 
equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that in 2021 an average of 0.5% interest rate is in place 
across all cash balances and that all other variables remain constant. Prior to 2020 the analysis assumed an increase or decrease of 
100 basis points in interest rates.

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.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

33 
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 $nil (30 June 2020: liability of $33.375 million).

34  DEED OF CROSS GUARANTEE
Pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Wholly owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785 the wholly owned subsidiaries listed below are relieved 
from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports, and Directors’ reports.

It is a condition of the Instrument that the Company and each of the subsidiaries enter into a Deed of Cross Guarantee. The effect of the 
Deed is that the Company guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in the event of winding up of any of the subsidiaries 
under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001. If a winding up occurs under other provisions of the Act, the Company will only be 
liable in the event that after six months any creditor has not been paid in full. The subsidiaries have also given similar guarantees in the 
event that the Company is wound up.

The subsidiaries subject to the Deed are:

 \ Opus Resources Pty Ltd

 \ Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd

 \ Greenstone Resources (WA) Pty Ltd

Opus Resources Pty Ltd and Darlot Mining Company Pty Ltd both became party to the Deed of Cross Guarantee on 30 June 2018. 
Greenstone Resources (WA) Pty Ltd became party to the Deed of Cross Guarantee on 30 June 2021.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
36 
Sale of Siana gold mine (Philippines)

In July 2021 the Group entered into a binding agreement with TVI Resource Development (Phils.) Inc. (TVIRD) to divest its interests in 
Philippine affiliated company Greenstone Resources Corporation (GRC), which holds both the Siana Gold Project (Siana) and the 
Mapawa Gold Project. TVIRD is the Philippine affiliate of the Canadian-listed TVI Pacific Inc.

TVIRD will become the 100% owner of GRC and therefore the divestment includes the process plant and all other infrastructure at 
Siana. A royalty of 3.25% payable for up to 619,000 ounces of gold will be payable to the Group from first gold from the restart of the 
Siana processing plant. 

Upon completion of all closing conditions of the agreement the Group will receive gross proceeds of US$19 million through the 
repayment of outstanding shareholder advances due from its Philippine-affiliated company, Red 5 Asia Inc, which is a shareholder  
of GRC. 

Project finance facility for the KOTH Project

Financial close was achieved for the $175 million Project Finance Facility for the KOTH Project on 30 June 2021.  Subsequent to  
year end, the first draw-downs were completed (refer to note 15).

Other than the matters discussed above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of  
this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company,  
to significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future  
financial years.

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit 
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the 
audit of the Financial Report section of our report.  

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

Key Audit Matters 

The Key Audit Matters we identified are: 

  Sales Revenue; and 

  Accounting for Siana Gold Project 

discontinued operation. 

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our 
professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the Financial Report of the current 
period.  

These matters were addressed in the context of our 
audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide 
a separate opinion on these matters.

Sales Revenue ($173.358 million) 

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 is a key 
audit matter due to its significance to the 
consolidated financial statements combined with 
the incremental audit effort assessing the 
application of relevant accounting standards. 
Gold sales revenue from the Group’s Darlot and 
King of the Hills (KOTH) operations was the most 
significant item in the consolidated statement of 
profit or loss ($173.358 million). 

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

  Assessing the revenue recognised against 

the requirements of AASB 15 Revenue form 
Contracts with Customers; 

  The application of hedge accounting in 
accordance with AASB 9 Financial 
Instruments, in particular, the early 
termination of the gold forward contracts 
during the year.  The Group engages external 
experts to prepare hedge documentation and 
determine hedge ineffectiveness. 

  The application of the “own-use” exemption 

for gold forward contracts entered into as part 
of a new debt facility. 

Our procedures included: 

  We considered the appropriateness of the 

Group’s accounting policies for the recognition 
of sales revenue and hedge accounting against 
the requirements of the accounting standards 

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

  For a sample of sales recorded close to year 

end, we tested against the recognition criteria of 
AASB 15 checking control had passed to the 
customer to the date of the third party 
statements; 

  We compared the Group’s realised cashflow 

hedging gains and losses to external 
counterparty statements for gold forward hedges 
during the year; 

  For gold forward contracts terminated early and 
where production designated against the hedge 
is expected to occur post 30 June 2021, we 
checked the recognition of the realised gain 
related to the effective component in the hedge 
reserve against the requirements of the 
accounting standard. 

  For new gold forward contracts where “own-use” 
exemption was applied, we checked the gold 
forward contracts, compared to the Group’s gold 
production forecasts and inquired with finance 
and operational  personnel as to the intention to 
deliver physical gold in those contracts in 
accordance with the requirements of the 
accounting standards to apply the own-use 
exemption; and 

  We assessed the scope, objectivity and 

competence of the Group’s external experts 
engaged for the preparation of hedge 
documentation and effectiveness assessment.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (cont.)

Accounting for Siana Gold Project discontinued operation 

Refer to note 23 to the Financial Report.  

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

On 28 July 2021, the Group entered an 
agreement to sell Greenstone Resources 
Corporation (GRC), the Group’s subsidiary 
holding the interest in the Siana Gold Project 
(Siana) in the Philippines. 

The agreement is subject to a number of 
conditions including regulatory approvals. 

The financial results of Siana, including the 
impairment, are presented as discontinued 
operations in the Financial Report. The assets 
and liabilities of Siana are presented as held for 
sale, resulting in a classification as current. 

The divestment is considered a key audit matter 
due to the: 

 

 

 

financial significance of Siana to the Group’s 
financial statements; 

judgement applied by the Group in the 
identification of assets and liabilities as held 
for sale for the disposal group and the 
presentation of its results as discontinued 
operations including the impairment loss on 
disposal. We focussed on the consistency of 
application of Group’s judgements; 

judgement involved by the Group in 
determining the fair value of the asset and 
liabilities being disposed of, in particular, the 
determination of the fair value of the sale 
consideration, given part of the consideration 
is a royalty based on future gold production at 
Siana, increasing estimation uncertainty. 

Our procedures included: 

  Reading the relevant transaction documents to 
understand the key terms and conditions of the 
divestment; 

  Checking the consideration for the divestment to 
the transaction documents and the Group’s 
underlying financial records; 

  Assessing the Group’s identification of assets 

and liabilities disposed of to the relevant clauses 
of the transaction document and underlying 
financial records;  

  Assessing the exclusion of the royalty on future 
gold production from the sale consideration to 
determine the fair value of the asset and 
liabilities being disposed of and the impairment 
loss, against the requirements of the accounting 
standards; 

  Using our tax specialists, evaluating the 

associated tax implications of the divestment 
against the requirements of the Philippines tax 
legislation; 

  Assessing the Group’s presentation of its 
discontinued operations including the 
impairment loss on disposal, against the 
requirements of the accounting standards; 

  We recalculated the loss from discontinued 

operation, including impairment of discontinued 
operation, against the recorded amount 
disclosed by the Group.  We checked selling 
costs to underlying documentation such as, 
invoices and agreements with third parties; 

  We assessed the disclosures in the financial 
report using our understanding obtained from 
our testing and against the requirements of the 
accounting standards including the restatement 
of Siana as a held for sale and a discontinued 
operation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (cont.)

Other Information 

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

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

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

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In 
doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report 
or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The Directors are responsible for: 

 

 

 

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

implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a 
true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error 

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is: 

 

 

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and  

to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.  

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board website at: 
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our 
Auditor’s Report.
