Review of Operations
The Board is pleased to provide a review of operations across the Company’s asset portfolio
for the financial year 2020 and to date.
Figure 1: RareX Australian Assets
Cummins Range Rare Earths Project
Cummins Range is located 130km southwest of Halls Creek in the Kimberley Region of
Western Australia (Figure 1) and is one of two known rare earth bearing carbonatites in
Australia, with the other being Mt Weld owned by Lynas Corporation Ltd. Located in the
Tier 1 mining jurisdiction of Western Australia, Cummins Range has high Neodymium and
Praseodymium (NdPr) enrichment, both critical rare elements integral to the manufacture
of electric vehicles, wind turbines and military hardware.
With no active exploration since 2011, the Company commenced a significant exploration
drill program following completion of the acquisition of the Cummins Range Project in
September 2019.
Maiden JORC 2012 Resource
Following a review of historical data and geological modelling, RareX was pleased to release
its independently compiled, Maiden JORC 2012 Mineral Resource for Cummins Range on 14
October 2019.
The Maiden 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource for Cummins Range has been estimated at
13.0Mt at 1.13% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) comprising 147,000,000 kg TREO using a
cut-off grade of 0.5% TREO.
In May 2020, RareX advised that a review of the historical drill database at the Cummins
Range Project had confirmed highly attractive enrichment characteristics, indicating high
levels of Neodymium-Praseodymium (NdPr) and ultra-low levels of Thorium.
iii
The database review determined an average NdPr content of 22.1%1. It has also highlighted
ultra-low Thorium content at 50ppm ThO2. By comparison, most monazite derived from
mineral sands averages in the range of 1-10% Thorium, giving Cummins Range a distinct
advantage.

Passive Seismic Survey
In December 2019, RareX undertook a passive seismic survey at its Cummins Range Project
to search for both extensions along strike and at depth of the known JORC Resource. Areas
of higher REE grades at Cummins Range are typically a result of upgrading due to
weathering. The mineral monazite contains the rare earth elements and is resistive to
weathering. As the surrounding mafics and carbonates are weathered over time the
monazite remains and is concentrated producing weathering profiles with high monazite
concentrations and REE intersections up to 41m @ 3.85% in hole KRC112. The passive seismic
survey was used to identify deeper weathering in the carbonatite complex which will help
to target future drilling. A total of 992 stations were surveyed in December 2019 on 100m
spaced north south lines at 25m intervals.
The survey identified deep weathering profiles continuing to the east, west and north of the
current defined resource area. These areas have been named Eastern, Western and Northern
Target areas. An area south of the current JORC Resource has also been identified, known
as the Southern Target. These areas are show in Figure 2.

1VD PSC, MGA Zone 52
v
The survey identified deep weathering profiles continuing to the east, west and north of the
current defined resource area. These areas have been named Eastern, Western and Northern
Target areas. An area south of the current resources has also be identified and is call the
Southern Target.
The Western and Eastern targets are considered to have the greatest chance of further
resource growth due to the presence of high-grade drill results at the edges of the adjoining
delineated resources.
Drill Campaign
In July 2020, RareX announced that its 6,143m reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign
had commenced at Cummins Range, marking an important milestone for the Company and
the Project as this is the first time it has been drilled since 2011. This in-fill program was
designed both to increase the confidence of the Resource from Inferred to Indicated
category and to better define a higher-grade portion of the Resource.
RareX mobilised its own geological and field staff and contracted RC drilling company, KTE
Drilling, to complete the program.
As at the date of this report, assays have been received for 19 RC holes with significant
results being reported.
CRX0002 and CRX0003 respectively intersected significant shallow zones of mineralisation
including 41m at 4% TREO + 0.21% Nb2O5 from 29m and 36m at 4.6% TREO + 0.32% Nb2O5
from surface including an ultra-high-grade zone of 3m at 25.1% TREO + 0.45% Nb2O5.
As well as rare earths, assays are being reported for niobium and phosphate given the nature
of the carbonatite, being a Rare Earth Elements-Niobium-Phosphate deposit and both
niobium and phosphate presenting possible by-product streams for the Project.
Interestingly, appreciable silver was also detected in some of the assays and favorable
geology for other precious metals was encountered during the program. As a result,
additional assaying for gold and PGEs will also be undertaken.
Further assay results confirmed an outcropping, thick high-grade mineralised channel
trending north-west with further strongly mineralised drill holes at CRX0010 and CRX0011,
100m along strike from CRX0002 and CRX0003. These holes also demonstrate ultra-high-
grade seams within a broader high-grade intersection, with the internal zones including 3m
@ 11.3% TREO, 5m @ 9% TREO and 2m @ 10.4% TREO.

Figure 6: Cummins Range Cross Section 307,265 mE
Figure 7: Cummins Range Cross Section 307,210 mE
vii
Results from RC holes, CRX0012 and CRX0013, include significant widths of high-grade rare
earths and niobium mineralisation with broad zones of bonanza grade mineralisation
encountered in CRX0013. The north-west trending channel of mineralisation encountered
in drill holes CRX0002, CRX0003, CRX0010 and CRX0011 has been confirmed in these holes,
further enhancing the potential size and grade of the Resource in this area.
Previous historical drilling on surrounding sections had confirmed the presence of high-grade
mineralisation down to 70m below surface. The current drill program has now extended the
zone of high-grade mineralisation to 130m below surface.
CRX0013 is especially significant in that it contains wide ultra-high grade zones including
13m at 10.7% TREO and 1.04% Nb2O5 from 76m and 8m at 9.1% TREO and 0.58% Nb2O5.
Full details of the drill results are available in the original announcements lodged with the
ASX.

Weld North Project
The Weld North Project is located north of Laverton in Western Australia covering a large,
circular magnetic anomaly prospective for being caused by a carbonatite intrusive complex
similar to those that host the majority of the world's existing rare earth element production,
including the world class Mt Weld mine owned by Lynas Corporation Limited and RareX’s
Cummins Range Rare Earth Project, both of which are located in Western Australia.
Figure 10: Location of the Mt Weld North tenements
ix
The Weld North Project is defined by a circular magnetic anomaly target located entirely
within RareX’s Exploration Licence Application E38/3455. It is located 84km directly north
of the Mt Weld carbonatite-hosted rare earth element deposit held by Lynas Corporation
Limited (ASX: LYC, Mkt Cap A$1.5bn).
The Lynas Mt Weld carbonatite complex forms a strong circular magnetic anomaly with a
diameter of 4km and which hosts a TREO resource of 54.5 Mt at 5.4% TREO for 2.8Mt of
contained rare earth oxide (REO) (2.5% TREO cut-off) (source: Lynas Corporation Limited
2020 Annual Report announced to the ASX on 6 October 2020).
By comparison, the Weld North circular magnetic anomaly has a diameter of 5km with a
similar magnetic anomaly pattern to the Mt Weld carbonatite complex, where the magnetic
anomaly amplitude is less pronounced – indicating less magnetite content of the rocks.
Figure 11: Airborne magnetic anomaly image showing the Weld North circular anomaly which RareX consider to
be prospective for being caused by a REE-bearing circular carbonatite intrusive complex or a barren late stage
granite intrusive and sitting below regolith cover which masks the buried bedrock source for this magnetic
anomaly.
Figure 12: Comparison of airborne magnetic anomaly images of the Mt Weld REE mineralised carbonatite (left)
and RareX Weld North magnetic target (right), shown as black and white 1st derivative filtered images.
x
RareX has engaged drilling contractors to commence the maiden drilling program at the
Weld North Project in November 2020.
This characteristic may not have a bearing on the REE potential of the target, since many
REE-bearing carbonatite phases are non-magnetic. For example, the majority of the current
RareX Cummins Range REE resource is closely associated with non-magnetic carbonatite
intrusive rocks and shear zones within a circular diatreme structure.
It is possible that the Weld North magnetic anomaly is caused by an Archean granitic
intrusion. Surface inspection of the Weld North intrusion did not result in any positive
identification of a magnetic source, nor identification of any primary geology due to the
significant sandy cover sequence. RareX plans to undertake aircore drilling to test under the
cover sequence, to assess if the source of the magnetic anomaly is caused by a carbonatite
intrusion, similar to Mt Weld, or a granitic intrusion.
Byro East Project
RareX applied for tenements E09/2386 and E09/2387 in January 2020 at the Byro East
Project, located in the Western Gneiss Terrane, approximately 300km north-west of
Geraldton, Western Australia. RareX initially applied on the basis of the tenure containing
some of the highest and most consistent Rare Earth Element (REE) geochemical anomalies
in the state as part of the GSWA dataset.
RareX has identified numerous nickel-copper-PGE targets on the Byro East Project. The REE
anomalies are proximal to a circular feature in the state-wide magnetics interpreted to be
an intrusion, possibly a carbonatite.
Figure 13: Byro East Project, Western Australia
xi
Figure 14: Byro East project over magnetics
Further review of publicly available data undertaken by the Company has identified that
the tenure contains extensions of the enigmatic Milly Milly Intrusion and multiple other
ultramafic intrusions contained within the Byro East ultramafic corridor and the Brockman
ultramafic corridor.
At least one Ni-Cu-PGE gossan is noted as being present on the tenure that requires follow-
up, given that most of the exploration has been conducted on the Milly Milly intrusion
because of its size and affinities to the very large Jinchuan deposit in China, meaning that
much of the Eastern and Brockman corridor has been overlooked.
Following the Julimar discovery by Chalice Gold Mines (ASX: CHN) in March 2020, other
companies have applied for tenure in the region including Chalice, Buxton, and other private
companies.
Similarities have been drawn between the quartzites in the Narryer Terrane and the
quartzites in the York-Toodyay area near Perth, where the Julimar discovery has been made.
xii
Geochronology investigations have found similar aged rocks and the concept of the “Western
Gneiss Terrain” along the western edge of the Yilgarn Craton has led to renewed interest in
the Ni-Cu-PGE exploration potential of this terrain.
Figure 15: Byro East Project competitor map
RareX has now begun collating all previous exploration data and reprocessing historical
geophysical data ahead of the ground being granted in the coming months, with ground-
based exploration expected to follow on from Cummins Range and Weld North later this
year.
NSW Join-Venture Copper Gold Projects
In January 2020, RareX entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
Kincora Copper (Kincora) whereby Kincora paid a non-refundable option payment of
C$25,000 to RareX for a six week exclusive option period.
Following completion of its due diligence activities, Kincora subsequently exercised the
option and paid RareX an additional C$150,000 and issued RareX with 14.95 million shares
in Kincora (currently valued at A$2.0m).
As a result of the agreement, RareX transferred a 65% interest in its NSW tenements to
Kincora with RareX retaining a 35% free carried interest until such time as a positive scoping
study or preliminary economic assessment is delivered, following which industry standard
JV dilution mechanisms will apply.
Kincora is a well-funded TSXV listed copper gold explorer with projects in both Mongolia and
the NSW Lachlan Fold Belt having recently raised C$5.3. Kincora is led by a team with a
track record of world-class discoveries including the Cadia Au/Cu deposit in the Lachlan Fold
Belt of NSW and the Reko Diq Copper Gold deposit in Pakistan. It is well supported by global
funds LIM Advisors and New Prospect Capital.
xiii
Kincora’s technical team includes Mr John Holliday and Mr Peter Leaman. Mr Holliday has
over 30 years’ experience in metals exploration mostly with BHP Minerals and Newcrest
Mining, including the positions of Chief Geoscientist and General Manager, Property
Generation and more recently in the junior sector. Mr Holliday was a principal discoverer
and site manager of the undercover Cadia and Marsden porphyry Tier 1 gold-copper deposits
in NSW, and was a principal geological advisor on the acquisition of many significant
projects, including Namosi and Wafi-Golpu. Mr Leaman has over 40 years’ experience in
exploration mostly with BHP Minerals, with a particular focus on Base & Precious Metals,
and PanAust Limited, where he was Regional Exploration Manager SE Asia and remains an
Exploration Advisor.
The Trundle Project
The Trundle Project is located 30km west of the China Molybdenum Company Limited
operated Northparkes copper-gold project, which is Australia’s second largest porphyry
mine (behind Newcrest’s Cadia, also located in the Macquarie Arc).
A first phase drilling program comprising six holes for 3,800m was completed, testing three
known mineralized targets seeking to discover a new cluster of porphyry deposits. Extensive
porphyry and skarn-style copper-gold mineralisation and informal mining activities are
associated with several Ordovician intrusive centres across the full Trundle license, which
is located within a prolific mining and infrastructure district.
Following its recent capital raising Kincora began a substantial expansion of its drilling
program at Trundle, with a further 17 diamond drill holes targeting an economic porphyry
copper-gold deposit and/or skarn deposit.
Figure 16: Trundle is the only brownfield porphyry project held by a listed junior in the Macquarie Arc,
Australia’s foremost porphyry region
Trundle Park Drill Results
The Company’s first drill hole (TRDD001) intersected multiple significantly mineralized skarn
zones including 51m @ 1.17 g/t gold and 0.54% copper from 39m and 18m @ 0.53 g/t gold
and 0.05% copper from 284m. TRDD001 also intersected broad anomalous mineralization
xiv
(including 21.1m @ 0.25 g/t Au and 0.03% Cu from 664m to end of hole) in the outer zone
of the targeted adjacent porphyry intrusion system – see ASX announcement: 6 July 2020.
Kincora’s second follow-up drill hole (TRDD004) was drilled 269m to the west of TRDD001,
a considerable step-out, and was completed to 694m targeting a blind finger porphyry and
not targeting the previously intersected high-grade skarn mineralization in TRDD001.
TRDD004 did not intersect any skarn alteration and is interpreted to have intersected
volcanics intruded by monzodiorite and monzonite across a fault block with minor potassic
alteration at the bottom of the hole – anomalous results presented in Table 3. Such a fault
setting is not uncommon in other Ordovician age porphyry systems in the Macquarie Arc and
TRDD004 has assisted understanding of the fault blocks and potential preservation levels
within the Trundle Park target.
With unencumbered access, high-priority drilling at Trundle Park will initially test the
northern and southern strike of alteration and mineralization intersected in TRDD001 within
the same interpreted fault block – see Figure 1. These holes will seek to test both the
standalone near-surface gold-rich skarn and underlying finger porphyry potential at the
Trundle Park target.
Mordialloc Drill Results
Assay results of TRDD002 have returned metal grades comparable to the surrounding parts
of the Northparkes deposits and Cadia-Ridgeway within inner to outer propylitic style
hydrothermal alteration.
TRDD005, the second Kincora hole at the Mordialloc target and follow-up located 150m south
of TRDD002, demonstrate a volcanoclastic sandstone and agglomerate host rock sequence
at approximately 632m, and over 12m down hole with improved epidote-chlorite alteration
and visual quartz-calcite-pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization materially more intense in
comparison to TRDD002.
Drill hole TRDD002 was completed to a depth of 790m, relative to an original target depth
of 700m. TRDD005 was drilled to 958m and returned multiple broad zones of anomalous
copper, gold and molybdenum, including localized moderate to higher grade intervals.
Significantly, a relatively shallow and previously unidentified skarn was also intersected in
TRDD005 (including 12m at 0.33g/t Au and 0.29% Cu from 138m, including 2m at 1.4g/t Au
and 1% Cu from 142m).
While returning anomalous and encouraging mineralization and alteration, the drill hole is
interpreted to have been drilled to the east away from the targeted mineralized quartz
monzonite porphyry complex.
The favorable higher-grade results from TRDD005, coupled with significant grades from prior
drill hole CTD006 (44m @ 0.15% Cu, 0.12g/t Au and 41ppm Mo) encouraged Kincora to drill
TRDD006 to the west.
Propylitic alteration and surface mineralization have also been identified at surface in this
area, and rock chip samples were collected and are currently being assayed. Together with
the results from TRDD005 and TRDD006, this supports the concept of multiple mineralizing
positions and phases of intrusions, with the potential for the discovery of a near-surface
finger porphyry deposit.
xv
The first drill hole at the Mordialloc target (TRDD002) is proposed to be reopened and
extended as interpretation of the alteration and assay results suggest these may represent
the halo of a mineralized porphyry intrusion system.
The Bayley’s Prospect
Drill-hole TRDD003 was completed to 721.5m at the Bayley’s target, confirming an
interpreted fertile porphyry setting with zones of anomalous mineralization within the
targeted quartz monzonite porphyry – see Table 2.
Further potential remains within the Bayley’s target zone, with drilling proposed in the
second stage of the ongoing drilling program seeking to test the standalone potential for a
finger porphyry within the larger northern Mordialloc intrusive complex. However, due to
encouraging results with TRDD002 and TRDD005, combined with access (lambing) and permit
constraints, a second hole was not completed during phase 1 of Kincora’s maiden drilling
program.
Orange East
The Company has retained 100% of the Orange East tenement (EL8442), located near the
advanced McPhillamys Gold Project in NSW, from Alkane Resources Limited (Alkane).
EL8442 is located just 15km along strike from McPhillamys (Probable Reserve of 60.1Mt at
1.05g/t Au for 2.03Moz2), which is owned by Regis Resources Limited and currently in the
final stages of permitting ahead of a potential final investment decision.
Figure 17: Regional Geology and Tenement Map
The project area has strong geological and geochemical similarities to the McPhillamys
Project, being located just 15km north-northwest along strike.
2 https://regisresources.com.au/McPhillamys-Gold-Project/mcphillamys-gold-project.html
xvi
The tenement is located on the eastern margin of the Molong Volcanic Belt with much of
the tenement hosting the Mullions Range Imbricate Thrust Zone (MRIZ). The regionally
significant Godolphin-Copperhannia Thrust Fault zone (GCFZ) traverses through the centre
of the tenement and host dozens of historical copper-gold workings.
An initial geological review of the Orange East Project has identified several advanced
prospects, with the Gunnarbee Prospect in particular showing particularly striking
similarities to the McPhillamys deposit, including:
• both are hosted in the Silurian volcaniclastic rocks of the Anson Formation adjacent
to the GCFZ (Figure 5);
• both have coincident Au-As-Ba-Bi--Pb-Cu-Mo-Te surface anomalies, with the
Gunnarbee geochemical anomaly extending over an area ~1,000m north-south by
200m east-west; and
• both have K radiometric high anomalies.
This prospect is entirely untested by modern exploration.
Figure 18: Historical Exploration on EL8442 with Gunnarbee Prospect untested
Many other prospects on the Orange East Project remain prospective for high-grade copper
gold mineralisation along the GCFZ, which runs south from the tenement past the
McPhillamys deposit and onto Sky Metals’ Cullarin Project (recent intercept of 93m at
4.24g/t Au3).
RareX is currently compiling all previous exploration data and looks forward to updating the
market on its proposed exploration plan for this project.

Hong Kong Gold Project
On 7 December 2018, Clancy announced the completion of an agreement with Canadian
listed Pacton Gold Inc (TSXV: PAC) (Pacton) which provided for Pacton to acquire a 70%
equity interest in RareX’s Hong Kong Project in the Pilbara (Exploration Licence E47/3566
covering 40.15 km2).
Under the agreement, Pacton will act as operator of the Hong Kong Project and must spend
a minimum of CAD$500,000 on Hong Kong within two years of completion of the transaction.
RareX will be free carried with respect to joint venture expenditure until a decision to mine
is made unanimously by both parties.
Moroccan Cobalt Project
Following its strategic review of assets and with regard to the current cobalt price, the
Board has elected to cease work on the Moroccan Cobalt Project and no material work was
undertaken during the 2020 financial year.
Leogang Project, Austria
In mid-2017, the Company was granted exploration licences over the Leogang Cobalt-Nickel
Project covering in the Salzburg and Kitzbuhel regions in western Austria. Subsequently,
Cadence Minerals Plc acquired a 10% interest in the licences held by Clancy and both parties
entered into a joint venture.
No material work was undertaken on the Leogang Project during the 2020 financial year and
to date.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Remuneration Report – Audited
2020
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each Director of RareX Limited and the Group and for the
executives receiving the highest remuneration in accordance with the requirements of Section 300A of the Corporations Act
2001 and its Regulations. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section
308(3C) of the Act. This remuneration report forms a part of the Directors’ Report.
For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons having authority
and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or
indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company.
Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of RareX Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and
business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives. The Board of
RareX Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best
executives and directors to run and manage the consolidated entity, as well as align interests of directors, executives and
shareholders.
The Board believes that shares are an effective remuneration tool which preserves the cash reserves of the Company whilst
providing valuable remuneration. During the year ended 30 June 2020, a total of 33,000,000 (2019: nil) options were issued
to key management personnel of the Company.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the
consolidated entity is as follows:
•
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives,
was developed and approved by the Board.
• All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience).
•
The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the consolidated entity’s performance, executive
performance and comparable information from industry sectors.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and is expensed over the appropriate
vesting period. Shares issued under the Employee Share Plan are valued using the Binomial Tree methodology.
Non-Executive Directors
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The
Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market
practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders
at the Annual General Meeting. Currently there is a maximum aggregate sum of $200,000 per annum, which is to be divided
between the non-executive directors in the proportions agreed between them or, failing agreement, equally.
Company performance, shareholder wealth and director and executive remuneration
Shares have been issued to directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests in
prior years. Options have been issued to directors to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests in the
current year.
Executive and non-executive directors, other key management personnel and other senior employees have been granted
ordinary shares and options. The recipients of shares and options are responsible for growing the Company and increasing
shareholder value. If they achieve this goal the value of the shares and options granted to them will also increase. Therefore,
the shares and options provide an incentive to the recipients to remain with the Company and to continue to work to enhance
the Company's value.

were incapable of satisfaction due to the Mr Lenigas no longer being engaged by the Company. The rights lapsed prior to 30 June 2019 and were valued at
a fair value of nil. Accordingly, no amount has been recognised for the performance rights issued to Mr Lenigas in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2019.
2 On 3 August 2018, shareholders approved the issue of 462,000,000 performance rights to the Directors as shown in the above table. These performance

1.
CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial statements of RareX Limited (the Company or the Group) for the year ended 30 June 2020 were
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30th September 2020. RareX Limited is a for
profit entity. RareX Limited (the parent) is a company limited by shares, incorporated in Australia, and whose
shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the consolidated entity are described in the Directors'
Report.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial
statements include separate financial statements for RareX Limited as an individual entity and the consolidated
entity consisting of RareX Limited and its controlled entities.
(a)
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian
Accounting Standards Board. These financial statements have also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except
for available-for-sale investments, which have been measured at fair value. These financial statements are
presented in Australian dollars.
Going concern
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had working capital of $2,188,394 (2019: $852,326) and returned a loss attributable
to owners of $6,687,791 (2019: $2,209,009). The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon the future successful raising of the necessary funding through equity and/or debt and the successful
exploitation of the Group’s tenements.
The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis because the
Directors have appropriate plans to raise additional funds if required.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group can meet its commitments as and
when they fall due and can therefore continue normal business activities and the realisation of its assets and
settlement of its liabilities can occur in the ordinary course of business.
In the event the Group is not able to achieve the above requirements, there is uncertainty whether the Group will
continue as a going concern and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and
at the amounts stated in its financial report.
(b)
Statement of Compliance
These financial statements comply with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with
the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the
law.
(c)
New accounting standards and interpretations
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these
new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in a significant or material change to
the consolidated entity’s accounting policies.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020
and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as
well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the company has relied
on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not
otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the company may need to review such policies
under the revised framework. At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a
material impact on the company's financial statements.
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces
AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject
to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the
present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to
short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office
furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease
payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be
recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate
of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be
replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on
the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated
with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA
(Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense
is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the
statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and
interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not
substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases.
The adoption of AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019 has not led to the recognition of any right-of-use asset, or
associated lease liability, as the serviced office agreement does not specify or require fixed office locations, with
staff offices moved at the discretion of the lessor. Future effects of the implementation of this standard will depend
on details in future agreements.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been
early adopted by the Group.
New accounting Standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet
mandatorily applicable to the Company have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial
statements. The Company has not elected to adopt any new Accounting Standards or Interpretations prior to their
applicable date of implementation.
There are no standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the
Company in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
(d)
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiary as at 30
June 2020. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement
with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the
Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed
of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control
until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

NOTES TO ACCOUNTS
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the
parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having
a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their
accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity,
income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on
consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction.
(e)
Investment in joint operations
A joint operation is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement
have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.
Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions
about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The considerations made in
determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over
subsidiaries. The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint
operation in accordance with the IFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
The Group can elect to contribute to ongoing exploration costs in proportion to its interests or dilute (a farm-out
arrangement). If contributions are made during the reporting period, they are accounted for as exploration
expenditure. Once the joint arrangement partner had earned its interest, the Company recovers expenditure
equivalent to the other joint arrangement partner’s interest.
The Group does not record any expenditure made by the farminee on its account. It also does not recognise any
gain or loss on its exploration and evaluation farm-out arrangements. Any cash consideration received directly
from the farminee is credited against costs previously incurred in relation to the whole interest.
When the Group, acting as an operator, receives reimbursement of direct costs recharged to the joint operation,
such recharges represent reimbursements of costs that the operator incurred as an agent for the joint operation
and therefore have no effect on profit or loss.
In many cases, the Group also incurs certain general overhead expenses in carrying out activities on behalf of the
joint operation. As these costs can often not be specifically identified, joint operation agreements allow the
operator to recover the general overhead expenses incurred by charging an overhead fee that is based on a fixed
percentage of the total costs incurred for the year, often in the form of a management fee. Although the purpose
of this recharge is very similar to the reimbursement of direct costs, the Group is not acting as an agent in this case.
Therefore, the general overhead expenses and the overhead fee are recognised in profit or loss as an expense and
income, respectively.
(f)
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business
combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair value
of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree
and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each
business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at
the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s
operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the
separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held
equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition
date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or
liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income.
If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured.
(g)
Segment reporting
Management has assessed that the Group’s reportable business segments under the quantitative criteria set out
in AASB 8 Segment Reporting and has determined that no additional operating segments disclosures are required.
AASB 8 requires the ‘management approach’ to the identification, measurement and disclosure of operating
segments. The ‘management approach’ requires that operating segments be identified on the basis of internal
reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker, for the purpose of allocating
resources and assessing performance. This could also include the identification of operating segments which sell
primarily or exclusively to other internal operating segments.
In its adoption of the ‘management approach’ to segment reporting, the Group has identified that it continues to
operate as a gold, copper and base metals explorer and developer, in a single reportable business segment, under
one segment manager, in one geographical location being Australia, consistent with the prior year. The information
disclosed in the financial statements is the same information utilised internally by the chief operating decision
maker. Accordingly, no additional quantitative or qualitative disclosures are required.
(h)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and short-term deposits
with an original maturity of not more than 3 months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash
equivalents as defined above. The consolidated entity does not have any bank overdraft facilities.
Where the Company calls cash in advance from its joint venture partners, the cash is recognised as an asset with
an offsetting liability for the amount of expenses not yet incurred on the relevant joint venture project at balance
date. The liability is then released to the profit and loss as the expenditure is incurred.
(i)
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are generally paid on 30-day settlement terms and are recognised and carried at original invoice
amount less an allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Individual debts that are known to be
uncollectible are written off when identified. An impairment provision would be recognised when legal notice has
been sent and a reply not received within 30 days.
(j)
Investments and other financial assets
Investments and financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
are categorised as either financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans and receivables, held-to-
maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which
the investments were acquired. Designation is re-evaluated at each financial year end, but there are restrictions
on reclassifying to other categories.

NOTES TO ACCOUNTS
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of assets not at fair
value through profit and loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified
as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for
trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit,
or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are
recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the
consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such
upon initial recognition.
Recognition and Derecognition
(i)
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the
consolidated entity commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of
financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by
regulation or convention in the market place. Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash
flows from the financial assets has expired or when the entity transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of
the financial assets. If the entity neither retains nor transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards, it
derecognises the asset if it has transferred control of the assets.
Loans and receivables
(ii)
Loans and receivables including loan notes are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at the transaction price minus principal repayments
and minus any allowance for impairment or uncollectability. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when
the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired. Loans and receivables are included with receivables in
current assets in the statement of financial position, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after
balance date, which are classified as non-current. Loans and receivables with maturities greater than 12 months
are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Financial assets carried at cost
(iii)
Investments are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in the Group’s financial statements. If there is objective evidence
that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value
(because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between
the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market
rate of return for a similar financial asset.
(k)
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical
cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of these items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity
and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement
of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight line and diminishing value methods to allocate the cost of the specific
assets over their estimated useful lives. The expected useful lives are detailed in Note 15.
25
RareX Limited ABN: 65 105 578 756 and controlled entity
2020
NOTES TO ACCOUNTS
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at
each financial year end.
Impairment
(i)
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with the
recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
may be impaired.
The directors have determined that items of plant and equipment do not generate independent cash inflows and
that the business of the consolidated entity is, in its entirety, a cash-generating unit. The recoverable amount of
plant and equipment is thus determined to be its fair value less costs to sell.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable
amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount. For plant and
equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as an expense.
Derecognition and disposal
(ii)
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are
expected from its use.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included
in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is consolidated entity policy to
transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.
(l)
Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at the transaction price minus principal repayments. They represent
liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year that are
unpaid and arise when the consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the
purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of
recognition.
(m)
Provisions and employee benefits
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result
of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the consolidated entity expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance
contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any
reimbursement.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the present obligation at the reporting date using a discounted cash flow methodology. The risks specific to the
provision are factored into the cash flows and as such a risk-free corporate bond rate relative to the expected life
of the provision is used as a discount rate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are
discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Employee leave benefits
(i)
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled with 12
months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. Liabilities
for annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in the current
provision for the employee benefits. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities
are settled. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at
the rates paid or payable. For annual leave, expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the
reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Long Service Leave
(ii)
The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments
to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to
expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected
future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to
maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
(n)
Share-based payment transactions
Equity settled transactions
(i)
The consolidated entity provides benefits to its directors, employees and consultants in the form of share-based
payments, whereby directors and employees render services in exchange for options to acquire shares, rights over
shares (equity-settled transactions) and shares issued pursuant to the Company’s Employee Share and Loan Plan
(“Plan”). The consolidated entity has also issued ordinary shares and unlisted options as consideration to vendors
for the acquisition of exploration licences and drilling services.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value to the Company of the
equity instruments at the date at which they were granted in the case of options and shares issued under the Plan
for directors, employees and consultants; and the closing share price on, or just before, either the date of entering
into, or executing, an exploration licence purchase agreement in the case of options and shares issued to tenement
vendors as consideration for the settlement price. The fair value of the unlisted options and shares issued under
the Plan is determined using the Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which
the options were granted.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense, together with a corresponding increase in
equity over the period in which the vesting and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on
the date on which the relevant directors and employees become fully entitled to the options (the vesting date) or
shares issued under the Plan.
At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive income
reflects:
(i)
(ii)
the grant date fair value of the options and shares issued under the Plan;
the current best estimate of the number of options and shares issued under the Plan that will ultimately
vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period
and the likelihood of vesting conditions being met, based on best available information at balance date;
and
the extent to which the vesting period has expired.
(iii)
The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above
less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had
not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of
the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of
modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it has 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, as described in the previous paragraph.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options and shares issued under the Plan is reflected as additional share
dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
(o)
Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options
are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(p)
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it
is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably
measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Rendering of Services
(i)
Where the work performed in relation to a joint venture or other contract outcome can be reliably measured:
-
right to receive compensation for the services provided and the stage of completion can be reliably
measured. Stage of completion is measured by reference to the labour hours performed to date as a
percentage of total estimated labour hours in relation to a joint venture or for each contract. Where it is
probable that a loss will arise in relation to a joint venture or from a contract, the excess of total costs over
revenue is recognised as an expense immediately.
Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably measured:
-
revenue is recognised only to the extent that the costs that have been incurred are recoverable.
Unearned income is recognised in respect of progress billings and advances on exploration contracts in progress,
received in advance, or not represented by work done or reimbursable expenditure incurred, under joint venture
arrangements. Such income is recognised and brought to account over time as it is earned.
Interest revenue
(ii)
Revenue is recognised as interest accrued using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the
amortised costs of a financial asset and allocating the interest revenue over the relevant period using the effective
interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of
the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
All revenue is stated net of Goods and Services Tax (“GST”).
(q)
Income tax and other taxes
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and
tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets,
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial statements purposes.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax
credits 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 credits and unused tax losses can 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 or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent
that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Tax consolidation legislation
RareX Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entity formed a tax consolidated group on 1 July 2008.
However, they continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The consolidated entity has
applied the stand alone taxpayer approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred
taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. The current and deferred tax amounts are measured
in a systematic manner that is consistent with the broad principles in AASB 112 Income Taxes.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, RareX Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities
(or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from
controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.
Members of the tax consolidated group have not entered into a tax funding agreement and as no current tax assets
or liabilities or deferred tax assets are recognised in relation to tax losses or unused tax credits, no contributions
or distributions are required to be made under AASB Int 1052 Tax Consolidation Accounting.
Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
· when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in
which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item
as applicable; and
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
·
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or
payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows
arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
classified as part of operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the
taxation authority.
(r)
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs
of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number
of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
-
-
-
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been
recognised as expenses; and
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution
of potential ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential
ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
(s)
Exploration Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are accumulated and accounted for separately on an area of interest basis. An
area of interest is represented by an exploration project, which may include multiple tenements within a single
geographic region.
For each area of interest, the Company makes an election regarding its treatment of exploration and evaluation
expenditure (including the costs of tenement acquisitions) and whether it will be charged to the income statement
as incurred, under the expense category “exploration expenditure” (or other appropriate expense category), or
capitalised as an exploration and evaluation asset, or a combination thereof.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
An exploration and evaluation asset can only be recognised in relation to an area of interest if the following
conditions are satisfied:
a)
b) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
(i)
(ii)
the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful
development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and
exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the end of the reporting
period reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of
economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the
area of interest are continuing.
Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditures are recorded as an exploration asset at cost less impairment
charges. All capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure are monitored for indicators of impairment. Where
an impairment indicator is identified, an assessment is performed for each area of interest to which the exploration
and evaluation expenditure is attributed. To the extent that capitalised expenditure is not expected to be recovered
it is charged to the income statement.
(t)
Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments Issued by the Consolidated Entity
(i)
(ii)
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the
substance of the contractual agreement.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after
deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received,
net of direct issue costs.
(iii) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value through profit and loss’ or ‘other
financial liabilities’.
(iv) Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method,
with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financially liability and of
allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where
appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
NOTES TO ACCOUNTS
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events
and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.
Key estimates and judgements
(i)
Impairment – general
The Company assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluation of conditions and events
specific to the Company that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant
assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations, which incorporate various key assumptions. No
impairment is recognised for the Hong Kong Gold Project because the Company has an ongoing right to
explore over the project with substantive ongoing exploration planned, the Company has not decided to
discontinue exploration in the project area, and insufficient data exists that could indicate that the carrying
amount of the project is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
(ii) Options and share-based payment transaction
The Consolidated Entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the
equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes
model, using the assumptions and inputs detailed in Note 27.
(iii) Tenement acquisition costs
The Directors have elected to expense certain tenement acquisition costs in relation to the Cummins Range
Rare Earths Project as disclosed in Note 6.

(i) During the period, Cummins Range Pty Ltd acquired the Cummins Range Rare Earths Project from Element 25
Ltd. The consideration for the acquisition of the project in accordance with the agreement between Cummins
Range Pty Ltd and Element 25 Ltd is as follows:
• non-refundable option fee of $50,000;
• upfront consideration of $500,000 cash and $500,000 settled in shares in RareX Ltd being 13,338,261 shares at
a deemed price of $0.0375 per shares. As the share price at the date of issue of these shares was $0.061 per
share, for accounting purposes these 13,338,261 shares have a fair value of $813,634;
• deferred consideration to be settled on or before 27 September 2020 consisting of $500,000 in cash and a
further $500,000 to be settled in cash or shares in RareX Ltd at the election of Rarex Ltd; and
• subject to a positive bankable feasibility study (BFS) being achieved within 36 months from settlement, further
deferred consideration of $1,000,000 is payable to Element 25 Ltd and is to be settled in cash or shares in RareX
Ltd at the election of RareX Ltd. As this further deferred consideration is subject to a positive BFS, it has not been
included in the tenement acquisition costs, however, has been disclosed as a contingent liability in Note 23.
(ii) The balance carried forward represents the acquisition costs of the Hong Kong Gold Project which is in the
exploration and evaluation phase. Ultimate recoupment of exploration expenditure carried forward is dependent
on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of respective areas.

COMMITMENTS (continued)
(c)
Contractual Commitments
The Company entered an agreement to acquire up to 100% of three cobalt licences in Morocco.
As at the balance date, the Company had acquired a 20% interest in these cobalt licences via the completion of the
first stage of the acquisition by acquiring an initial 20% interest in Atlas Managem S.A.R.L, which holds three
Moroccan licences. The Board is currently reviewing its strategy and options for the Morocco Cobalt Project and at
this point, has elected not to progress with Stage 2 of the acquisition of Atlas Managem.
The remaining stages of the acquisition, which at this time the Directors have elected not to proceed with, are as
follows:
-
-
-
-
("Stage 2"): payment of US$200,000 and issue of 120 million fully paid ordinary shares in RareX within 6 months
and 5 days from the completion of Stage 1, in consideration for a further 20% interest;
("Stage 3"): payment of US$200,000 and issue of 120 million fully paid ordinary shares in RareX within 6 months
and 5 days from the completion of Stage 2, in consideration for a further 20% interest;
("Stage 4"): payment of US$200,000 and issue of 120 million fully paid ordinary shares in RareX within 6 months
and 5 days from the completion of Stage 3, in consideration for a further 20% interest; and
("Stage 5"): payment of US$200,000 and issue of 120 million fully paid ordinary shares in RareX within 6 months
and 5 days from the completion of Stage 4, in consideration for a further 20% interest, such that RareX (or a
subsidiary of RareX) will have acquired or been issued a 100% interest at the completion of Stage 5.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
1. During the year ended 30 June 2017, the Company acquired the Leogang Cobalt-Nickel Sulphide Project in
Austria. In the event that RareX elects to mine the Leogang Project a further $300,000 “finder’s fee” will be
payable, in a mix of cash and shares.
2. Subject to a positive bankable feasibility study (BFS) being achieved within 36 months from settlement of the
acquisition of the Cummins Range Rare Earths Project by the Company, further deferred consideration of
$1,000,000 is payable to Element 25 Ltd which is to be settled in cash or shares in RareX Ltd at the election of
RareX Ltd. As this further deferred consideration is subject to a positive BFS, it is disclosed as a contingent
liability and has not been brought to account as a liability in the financial statements as at 30 June 2020.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits.
The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the consolidated entity’s operations. The
consolidated entity has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables,
which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the entire period under review, the
consolidated entity’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.
For all financial instruments of the Company, the carrying value approximates the fair value.
The main risk arising from the consolidated entity’s financial instruments is cash flow interest rate risk. Other minor
risks are either summarised below or disclosed at Note 10 in the case of credit risk and Note 15 in the case of capital
risk management. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)
(a) Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk
The consolidated entity’s exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the
consolidated entity’s short-term deposits with a floating interest rate. These financial assets with variable rates
expose the consolidated entity to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities in the form of
receivables and payables are non-interest bearing. The consolidated entity does not engage in any hedging or
derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk. In regard to its interest rate risk, the consolidated entity
continuously analyses its exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing
positions, alternative investments and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. The sensitivity to the movement
in interest rates for the likely range of outcomes is immaterial.
Based on the sensitivity analysis only interest revenue from variable rate deposits and cash balances is impacted,
resulting in a decrease or increase in overall income.
(b)
Liquidity risk
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves and through the continuous
monitoring of budgeted and actual cash flows. Further, the consolidated entity only invests surplus cash with major
financial institutions.
Contracted maturities of payables:
Payable
- less than 6 months
- 6 to 12 months
- 1 to 5 years
- later than 5 years

The consolidated entity has no direct commodity exposures.
(d)
Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign
currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial
liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using
sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. Given the current level of transactions denominated in foreign
currency, the Directors consider foreign current risk not material.
(e) Carrying values of financial instruments not recognised at fair value
Due to their short term nature, the carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities, not recognised at fair
value, recorded in the financial statements approximates their respective fair values, determined in accordance
with accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the financial statements.
