Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited 
Chairman's letter 
30 June 2017 

28th September 2017 

Dear Shareholders, 

In 2016 Reedy Lagoon identified lithium brines as presenting an opportunity not often available to resource 
companies. 

The extraordinary growth in demand for lithium created by an increasing number of very large lithium ion battery 
factories and the likelihood that growth in demand was likely to continue for at least 5 years meant that there 
was an opportunity for Reedy Lagoon to establish a lithium operation with sales contracts on favourable terms. 

The Company acted to seize this opportunity by securing rights to acquire 3 lithium brine projects in Nevada, 
USA. Lithium production from brines is potentially cheaper than production from hard rock and the technology 
for direct extraction of lithium products from brines is developing rapidly.  Nevada is also home to the Tesla 
gigafactory. 

Reedy Lagoon’s acquisition of the company which owns the 3 lithium brine projects (Nevada Lithium Pty Ltd) 
was approved by shareholders in April 2017. That acquisition needs to be completed this calendar year by the 
issue of $2 million worth of RLC Shares to the vendors of Nevada Lithium at the time when RLC raises at 
least $2 million for drilling at the projects.  A meeting is to be called for RLC shareholders to provide the 
consents required by the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act for the issue of shares to the vendors to 
complete the acquisition. 

Geophysical surveys undertaken at the projects have identified strong brine targets at each project. Funding is 
now required for drilling. 

Your Directors have been pursuing a number of strategies to obtain funding including seeking to engage with 
companies active in or holding expertise in lithium brine processing. Directors expect that a significant amount 
of funding will be required to be raised from external sources, but any capital raising will include an entitlement 
offer to shareholders. 

The Directors expect to be able to announce details of its capital raising before the annual general meeting. 

Yours sincerely 

Jonathan Hamer 

Chairman

Review of operations 
30 June 2017 

Mineralisation styles targeted during the period 
included lithium brines (Nevada, USA) and minor 
work conducted on:    

Iron-ore (Burracoppin Magnetite project)   

• 
•  Uranium (Edward Creek project) 
•  Gold (Cassilis project) 

Overview    

Reedy Lagoon has projects prospective for  lithium 
brines in Nevada, USA. 

The  identification  of  increasing  demand  for  lithium, 
and 
the  prospect  of  emerging  new  processing 
technologies  for  extracting  lithium  from  brines,  led  to 
Reedy Lagoon developing an interest in three project 
areas  in  Nevada.  The  project  areas  are  in  closed 
geological  basins  which  share  similar  geology  with, 
but are separate from, Clayton Valley  in  which North 
America's  only  lithium  producing  brine  operation  is 
located. 

The lithium brine projects are:  
Big Smoky South  
Columbus Salt Marsh  
Alkali Lake North. 

Reedy  Lagoon  intends  drilling  in  the  December 
Quarter  2017  to  establish  whether  brine  targets 
lithium) 
(hyper-saline  water  potentially  containing 
identified  by  geophysical  surveys  at  each  of  the 
projects contain lithium in sufficient concentrations for 
economic extraction.  

Samples  of  brine  fluids  pumped  from  the  drill  holes  will  be  analysed  to  establish  their  lithium  content  and  if 
containing  lithium  in  sufficient  quantities,  testing  will  follow  to  assess  potential  process  pathways  for  the 
commercial  extraction  of  lithium.  Should  potential  for  commercial  extraction  be  proven  by  this  work,  then  it  is 
possible that production could be achievable in 2020 (extensive environmental studies which would underpin any 
feasibility study generally take at least 2 years and process plant construction could take about a year). 

Acquisition  of  the  Nevada  Brine  projects  will  be  completed  by  the  issue  of  $2m  worth  of  RLC  shares  to  the 
vendors following a capital raise of at least $2m to fund drilling. The number of RLC shares that will be issued to 
the vendors to meet the $2m payment amount will be determined using the offer price of RLC shares issued for 
the capital raise.   

Reedy  Lagoon  also  has  projects  targeting  iron-ore  in Western  Australia  and  uranium  in  South  Australia.  These 
projects  are  secondary  to  the  prime  focus  which  is  lithium. The  Company  cancelled  its  option  to  acquire  the 
Cassilis gold project.

 RLC 100% 

The  Nevada  lithium  brine  projects  comprise  Placer  Mining  Claims  over  three  prospects  in  large  basins  (ground 
water catchment areas) located in Nevada, USA (refer to ASX release 30 January 2017). 

The projects are within 10 to 50 kilometres of the Silver Peak lithium production operation of Albemarle Corp, in 
Clayton Valley. Silver Peak is the only lithium brine operation, and one of only a handful of lithium producers, in 
North America. The Tesla Gigafactory 1, a lithium-ion battery factory, is only 250 kilometres northwest of RLC's 
lithium projects. 

The  three  projects  cover  a  combined  area  of  4,289  hectares  (10,598  acres)  under  534  placer  claims.  All  the 
placer claims are 100% owned and there are no royalty arrangements.  

Geophysical surveys carried out by RLC during the period successfully demonstrate the presence of brine targets 
(hyper-saline water potentially containing lithium) located within sub-basins in all three of the Company's projects 
(refer to ASX releases 5 May 2017, 26 May 2017, 29 May 2017, 30 May 2017).  

Brine  targets  comprising  multiple  aquifers  with  hyper-saline  water  potentially  containing  lithium  have  been 
identified in each of the projects. The brine targets are very strong, with RLC planning to drill only targets showing 
resistivities  of  one  ohm-metre  or  less.  Drilling  is  planned  once  funding  has  been  arranged,  with  permits  to  drill 
being secured following the end of the report period.

Iron Ore Exploration 
Burracoppin Project  

IRON ORE - MAGNETITE             Western Australia  

  RLC 100% 

In January 2017, Bullamine Magnetite Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Reedy Lagoon, lodged an application 
for an exploration licence covering its previous Burracoppin Magnetite Prospect located near Merredin in Western 
Australia.  

Reedy Lagoon held the Burracoppin Magnetite deposit when it was discovered in 2012 with its then joint venture 
farm-in  partners:  Cliffs  Magnetite  Holdings  Pty  Ltd  (manager),  NS  Iron  Ore  Development  Pty  Ltd  and  Sojitz 
Mineral Development Pty Ltd. The farm-in parties withdrew in 2014 and Reedy Lagoon relinquished the ground in 
April 2016. 

Magnetite  mineralisation  in  multiple  bands  with  variable  continuity  was  intersected  by  drilling  in  2012  by  our 
previous  joint  venture.  Additional  drilling  is  required  to  better  understand  the  extent  of  the  mineralisation. 
However,  the  limited  drilling  completed  indicates  the  mineralised  bands  have  combined  horizontal  widths  of 
between  150  metres  and  200  metres.  Detailed  magnetic  data  indicate  a  strike  length  of  3,000  metres  and  a 
potential  tonnage  of  magnetite  bearing  rock  of  between  140  and  220  million  tonnes  (refer  to ASX  release  31 
January  2013). Note  that  the  potential  quantity  and  grade  of  the  Burracoppin  deposit  is  conceptual  in  nature. 
There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will 
result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. 

Metallurgical studies on core samples have produced concentrate with high iron levels (67% to 70% Fe) and low 
levels of impurities at a relatively coarse grind size (P80 -150 microns) (refer to ASX release 23 November 2012). 

The  project  area  is  under  application  (E70/4941,  lodged  9/01/2107,  area  5,854  ha)  and  no  field  work  was 
conducted during the report period. 

Uranium Exploration 
Edward Creek Project        
   RLC 100%  
All diamond interest farmed out to DiamondCo Limited which conducts diamond exploration independently  from 
RLC. RLC retains nil interest in diamond. 

South Australia 

URANIUM  

Exploration  for  uranium  remains  postponed  because  of  the  low 
uranium  price.  Exploration  expenditure  on  the  project  area  by 
DiamondCo enables RLC to postpone its planned exploration for 
uranium without penalty.  

RLC’s  past  exploration  at  Edward  Creek  has  identified  uranium 
on  the  north  eastern  margin  of  the  Gawler  Craton  in  South 
Australia.  The  project  area  comprises  EL  5580  (343  square 
kilometres).  

Victory prospect  
Part of the Edward Creek Project     
The  Victory  prospect  was  identified  by  greenfields  exploration  conducted  in  2010.  Ground  spectrometer  survey 
investigating  an  airborne  radiometric  anomaly  identified  anomalous  uranium  in  an  area  measuring  about  6.5 
hectares. Within this area  a strongly  anomalous linear zone measuring approximately 20 metres by 100  metres 
has been identified.

Review of operations 
30 June 2017 

Surface cover and deep weathering obscure most of the area. In the limited exposed areas elevated radiometric 
responses and assay results are wide spread, as is evidence of hydrothermal veining.  

An unconformity with younger rocks including conglomerates and volcanics, lies a few hundred metres east of the 
anomalous area shown in  the adjacent figure, but is  obscured by transported cover. The surface mineralisation 
identified at Victory may be marginal to prospective zones under cover at or near the unconformity.   

No  field  work  was  conducted  by  RLC  on  the 
Victory prospect during the report period. 

Work  planned,  in  the  event  the  uranium  market 
improves,  includes  drilling  to  investigate  the 
surface  uranium  anomalism  and  along  strike 
where the concealed unconformity is interpreted. 

Victory  prospect  showing  planned  future  drill 
sites at 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, 1-D and 1-E.  (For sample

      option 

Evaluation work was hampered during the year by continued uncertainty resulting from protracted delays by the 
Victorian Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (“DEDJTR”) associated with the 
processing of tenement applications and with the application for transfer of MIN 5335 to Cassilis Mining Pty Ltd 
from the registered holder, Rocky Mining Pty Ltd.  

During  the  report  period  the  liquidator  of  Rocky  Mining  Pty  Ltd  (in  liquidation)  brought  actions  which  led  to  the 
expiry of MIN 5335. As a result of this action the parties to the Cassilis Agreement dated 4 June 2015 agreed to 
terminate  the  agreement  on  7  June  2017  thus  cancelling  the  Company’s  option  to  acquire  the  Cassilis  gold 
project. 

No field work was conducted during the report period.

Directors' report 
30 June 2017 

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter 
as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company' or 
'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2017. 

Directors 
The following persons were directors of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited during the whole of the financial year and 
up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated: 

Jonathan M. Hamer 
Geoffrey H. Fethers 
Adrian C. Griffin  

Principal activities 
During the financial year the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity consisted of: 
● 

 exploration for minerals in Australia and the United States of America. 

Dividends 
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year. 

Review of operations 
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $808,688 (30 June 2016: $386,255). 

Refer to the separate review of operations that comes directly before this directors' report. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs 
During  the  year,  the  Company  issued  64,648,222  fully  paid  shares  raising  $835,947  before  costs  as  well  settling 
liabilities totalling $69,376.   

On  22  December  2016  Reedy  Lagoon  entered  into  an  agreement  (Share  Purchase  Agreement)  under  which  Reedy

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
Currently, the Company does not have a separate remuneration committee. Because of the size of the Board and the 
operations of the Company, the Directors are of the view that there is no need for a separate remuneration committee.  

The Board as a whole reviews the remuneration packages and policies applicable to the Chairman, Senior Executives 
and  Non-Executive  Directors  on  an  annual  basis.  Remuneration  levels  are  set  to  attract  or  retain,  as  appropriate, 
qualified  and  experienced  Directors  and  Senior  Executives.  From  time  to  time  and  as  required,  the  Board  will  seek 
independent professional advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages. 

The current nature and amount of remuneration payable to Chairman, Executives and Non-Executive Directors is not 
dependent upon the satisfaction of a performance condition.  Instead part of the remuneration takes the form of options 
which will have value if the Company’s share price increases. 

Use of remuneration consultants 
The Company did not make use of remuneration consultants during the 2017 financial year.

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the directors of the Company

Non-audit services 
Details  of  the  amounts  paid  or  payable  to  the  auditor  for  non-audit  services  provided  during  the  financial  year  by  the 
auditor are outlined in note 20 to the financial statements. 

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by 
the Corporations Act 2001. 

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 20 to the financial statements do not compromise 
the external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 
● 

 all  non-audit  services  have  been  reviewed  and  approved  to  ensure  that  they  do  not  impact  the  integrity  and 
objectivity of the auditor; and 
 none  of  the  services  undermine  the  general  principles  relating  to  auditor  independence  as  set  out  in  APES  110 
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, 
including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the 
Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited 
Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2017 

Note 1. General information 

The financial statements cover Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Reedy Lagoon 
Corporation  Limited  and  the  entities  it  controlled  at  the  end  of,  or  during,  the  year.  The  financial  statements  are 
presented in Australian dollars, which is Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited's functional and presentation currency. 

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 
Its registered office and principal place of business is: 

Level 18 
530 Collins Street 
Melbourne VIC 3121 

A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' 
report, which is not part of the financial statements. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 28 September 2017. 
The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

Note 2. 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. 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 

Going concern 
For  the  year  ended  30  June  2017  the  Group  made  a  loss  of  $808,688  (2016:  loss  of  $386,255),  has  a  net  asset 
deficiency of $75,011 (2016: $163,525), and had operating cash outflows $686,530 (2016: $224,874).   

Notwithstanding  this  the  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  a  going  concern  basis.  Subsequent  to  year  end,  the 
directors  have  provided  an  undertaking  to  financially  support  the  Company  up  to  $150,000  for  non-discretionary 
expenditure for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report if capital cannot be raised.  This support 
Includes deferral or waiving of fees and entitlements if to the detriment of external creditors.  The directors believe that 
such  support  and  potential  deferral  is  sufficient  to  meet  expenditure  commitments  and  for  a  period  of  not  less  than 
twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements.   If the group is to continue to explore and develop its 
prospects it will require further funds and will need to raise further capital.  In the event that the group is not able to raise 
additional  funding  it  may  not  be  able  to  continue  its  operations  as  a  going  concern  and  therefore may  not  be  able  to 
realise  its  assets  and  extinguish  its  liabilities  in  the  ordinary  course  of  operations  and  at  the  amounts  stated  in  the 
financial report. 

Basis of preparation 
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations issued  by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as 
appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for,  where  applicable,  the 
revaluation  of  available-for-sale  financial  assets,  financial  assets  and  liabilities  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss, 
investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2017 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Critical accounting estimates 
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management  to  exercise  its  judgement  in  the  process  of  applying  the  consolidated  entity's  accounting  policies.  The 
areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant 
to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3. 

Parent entity information 
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 24. 

Principles of consolidation 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  Reedy  Lagoon 
Corporation Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then 
ended. Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as 
the 'consolidated entity'. 

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  entities  over  which  the  consolidated  entity  has  control.  The  consolidated  entity  controls  an 
entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity 
and  has  the  ability  to  affect  those  returns  through  its  power  to  direct  the  activities  of  the  entity.  Subsidiaries  are  fully 
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the 
date that control ceases. 

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  entities  in  the  consolidated  entity 
are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the 
asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with 
the policies adopted by the consolidated entity. 

The  acquisition  of  subsidiaries  is  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting.  A  change  in  ownership 
interest,  without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the 
consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly 
in equity attributable to the parent. 

Where  the  consolidated  entity  loses  control  over  a  subsidiary,  it  derecognises  the  assets  including  goodwill,  liabilities 
and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. 
The  consolidated  entity  recognises  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  and  the  fair  value  of  any  investment 
retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

Operating segments 
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same 
basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for 
the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. 

Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure 
Expenditure  incurred  on  the  acquisition  of  exploration  properties  and  exploration,  evaluation  and  development  costs, 
including acquisition of Nevada Lithium Pty Ltd (refer to Notes 3-& 4) are written off as incurred where the activities in 
the areas of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically 
recoverable  reserves.  Once  it  is  determined  that  the  costs  can  be  recouped  through  sale  or  successful  development 
and exploitation of the area of interest then the  on-going costs are accumulated and carried forward for each area  of 
interest. 

Amortisation  is  not  charged  on  costs  carried  forward  in  respect  of  areas  of  interest  in  the  development  phase  until 
production commences. When production commences, carried forward exploration, evaluation and development costs 
are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. 

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision 
to abandon the area is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed annually and accumulated costs written off to the 
extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Restoration costs are provided for at the time of the activities that give rise to the need for restoration. If this occurs prior 
to  commencement  of  production,  the  costs  are  included  in  deferred  exploration  and  development  expenditure.  If  it 
occurs after commencement of production, restoration costs are provided for and charged to the statement of financial 
performance as an expense.  

Revenue recognition 
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue 
can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. 

Rendering of services 
Revenue  from  the  rendering  of  a  service  is  recognised  upon  the  delivery  of  the  service  to  the  customers  or  in 
accordance with contractual rights. 

Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour 
hours  for  each  contract. Where  the  contract  outcome  cannot  be  reliably  estimated,  revenue  is  only  recognised  to  the 
extent of the recoverable costs incurred to date. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating 
the  amortised  cost  of  a  financial  asset  and  allocating  the  interest  income  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. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established, less allowance for 
doubtful receivables. 

Income tax 
The  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  that  period's  taxable  income  based  on  the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable 
to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 
the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, 
except for: 
● 

 When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability 
in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a  business  combination  and  that,  at  the  time  of  the  transaction,  affects  neither  the 
accounting nor taxable profits; or 
 When  the  taxable  temporary  difference  is  associated  with  interests  in  subsidiaries,  associates  or  joint  ventures, 
and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in 
the foreseeable future. 

● 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available 
for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that 
it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. 

Current and non-current classification 
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited 
Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2017 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

An  asset  is  classified  as  current  when:  it  is  either  expected  to  be  realised  or  intended  to  be  sold  or  consumed  in  the 
consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised 
within  12  months  after  the  reporting  period;  or  the  asset  is  cash  or  cash  equivalent  unless  restricted  from  being 
exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as 
non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating 
cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or 
there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All 
other liabilities are classified as non-current. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  includes  cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  financial  institutions,  other  short-term, 
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of 
cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. 

Collectability  of  trade  receivables  is  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Debts  which  are  known  to  be  uncollectable  are 
written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there 
is  objective  evidence  that  the  consolidated  entity  will  not  be  able  to  collect  all  amounts  due  according  to  the  original 
terms of the receivables.  

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. 

Property, plant and equipment 
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment 
(excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Plant and equipment 

 5-10 years 

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting 
date. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to 
the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or 
loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits. 

Trade and other payables 
These  amounts  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and  services  provided  to  the  consolidated  entity  prior  to  the  end  of  the 
financial  year  and  which are unpaid. Due  to their short-term nature they  are measured at  amortised cost and are  not 
discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be 
settled  wholly  within  12  months  of  the  reporting  date  are  measured  at  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  when  the 
liabilities are settled.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2017 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date 
are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  expected  future  payments  to  be  made  in  respect  of  services  provided  by 
employees  up  to  the  reporting  date  using  the  projected  unit  credit  method.  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 currency that match, 
as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

Share-based payments 
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange 
for  the  rendering  of  services.  Cash-settled  transactions  are  awards  of  cash  for  the  exchange  of  services,  where  the 
amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price. 

The  costs  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  measured  at  fair  value  on  grant  date.  Fair  value  is  independently 
determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, 
the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying 
share,  the  expected  dividend  yield  and  the  risk  free  interest  rate  for  the  term  of  the  option,  together  with  non-vesting 
conditions  that  do  not  determine  whether  the  consolidated  entity  receives  the  services  that  entitle  the  employees  to 
receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions. 

The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the 
vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the 
best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount 
recognised  in  profit  or  loss  for  the  period  is  the  cumulative  amount  calculated  at  each  reporting  date  less  amounts 
already recognised in previous periods. 

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either 
the  Binomial  or  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model,  taking  into  consideration  the  terms  and  conditions  on  which  the 
award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows: 
● 

 During the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by 
the expired portion of the vesting period. 
 From the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the 
reporting date. 

● 

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid 
to settle the liability. 

Market  conditions  are  taken  into  consideration  in  determining  fair  value.  Therefore  any  awards  subject  to  market 
conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other 
conditions are satisfied. 

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. 
An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair 
value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. 

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition 
is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not  within the control of the consolidated  entity or employee and is not 
satisfied  during  the  vesting  period,  any  remaining  expense  for  the  award  is  recognised  over  the  remaining  vesting 
period, unless the award is forfeited. 

If  equity-settled  awards  are  cancelled,  it  is  treated  as  if  it  has  vested  on  the  date  of  cancellation,  and  any  remaining 
expense is recognised  immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled 
and new award is treated as if they were a modification. 

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. 

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  profit  attributable  to  the  owners  of  Reedy  Lagoon  Corporation 
Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial 
year. 

Diluted earnings per share 
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 dilutive potential 
ordinary shares. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST')  
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as 
part of the expense. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of 
financial position. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or  financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

Commitments  and  contingencies  are  disclosed  net  of  the  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  tax 
authority. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have  recently  been  issued  or  amended  but  are  not  yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2017. 
The  consolidated  entity's  assessment  of  the  impact  of  these  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below. 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all 
previous  versions  of  AASB  9  and  completes  the  project  to  replace  IAS  39  'Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and 
Measurement'.  AASB  9  introduces  new  classification  and  measurement models  for financial  assets.  A  financial  asset 
shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to 
collect  contractual  cash  flows,  which  arise  on  specified  dates  and  solely  principal  and  interest.  All  other  financial 
instrument  assets  are  to  be  classified  and  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  unless  the  entity  makes  an 
irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) 
in  other  comprehensive  income  ('OCI').  For  financial  liabilities,  the  standard  requires  the  portion  of  the  change  in  fair 
value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). 
New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk 
management  activities  of  the  entity.  New  impairment  requirements  will  use  an  'expected  credit  loss'  ('ECL')  model  to 
recognise  an  allowance.  Impairment  will  be  measured  under  a  12-month  ECL  method  unless  the  credit  risk  on  a 
financial  instrument  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition  in  which  case  the  lifetime  ECL  method  is 
adopted.  The  standard  introduces  additional  new  disclosures.  The  consolidated  entity  will  adopt  this  standard  from  1 
January 2018 but the impact of its adoption is not expected to be material.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a 
single  standard  for  revenue  recognition.  The  core  principle  of  the  standard  is  that  an  entity  will  recognise  revenue  to 
depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the 
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, 
verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the 
transaction  price,  adjusted  for  the  time  value  of  money  excluding  credit  risk;  allocation  of  the  transaction  price  to  the 
separate  performance  obligations  on  a  basis  of  relative  stand-alone  selling  price  of  each  distinct  good  or  service,  or 
estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation 
is  satisfied.  Credit  risk  will  be  presented  separately  as  an  expense  rather  than  adjusted  to  revenue.  For  goods,  the 
performance  obligation  would  be  satisfied  when  the  customer  obtains  control  of  the  goods.  For  services,  the 
performance  obligation  is  satisfied  when  the  service  has  been  provided,  typically  for  promises  to  transfer  services  to 
customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress 
to  determine  how  much  revenue  should  be  recognised  as  the  performance  obligation  is  satisfied.  Contracts  with 
customers  will  be  presented  in  an  entity's  statement  of  financial  position  as  a  contract  liability,  a  contract  asset,  or  a 
receivable,  depending  on  the  relationship  between  the  entity's  performance  and  the  customer's  payment.  Sufficient 
quantitative  and  qualitative  disclosure  is  required  to  enable  users  to  understand  the  contracts  with  customers;  the 
significant judgements made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to 
obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 January 2018 but the 
impact of its adoption is not expected to be material. 

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 at 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 consolidated entity will 
adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed. 

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that 
affect  the  reported  amounts  in  the  financial  statements.  Management  continually  evaluates  its  judgements  and 
estimates  in  relation  to  assets,  liabilities,  contingent  liabilities,  revenue  and  expenses.  Management  bases  its 
judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of 
future  events,  which  management  believes  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  The  resulting  accounting 
judgements  and  estimates  will  seldom  equal  the  related  actual  results.  The  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions 
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the 
respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below. 

Share-based payment transactions 
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is 
measured by the use of either a Binomial or Black-Scholes model as described at Note 29 taking into account the terms 
and  conditions  upon  which  the  instruments  were  granted.  The  expected  life  used  in  the  model  has  been  adjusted, 
based  on  management’s  best  estimate,  for  the  effects  of  non-transferability,  exercise  restrictions,  and  behavioural 
considerations.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) 

Estimation of useful lives of assets 
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its 
property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of 
technical  innovations  or  some  other  event.  The  depreciation  and  amortisation  charge  will  increase  where  the  useful 
lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned 
or sold will be written off or written down. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  only  if  the  consolidated  entity  considers  it  is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.  Management 
has  determined  not  to  recognise  the  deferred  tax  asset,  given  that  the  group  has  experienced  losses,  on  a  historical 
basis. 

Employee benefits provision 
As discussed in note 2, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting 
date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all 
employees  at  the  reporting  date.  In  determining  the  present  value  of  the  liability,  estimates  of  attrition  rates  and  pay 
increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account. 

Acquisition of Nevada Lithium Pty Ltd 
Under the agreement to purchase Nevada Lithium Pty Ltd, the Company has made an initial payment of $209,000 to 
reimburse  exploration  costs.  As  at  30  June  2017,  costs  totalling  $434,354  (including  the  initial  payment  reimbursing 
$209,000) had been reimbursed. Under the contract, there is no obligation for these amounts to be repaid in the event 
of the deal not proceeding, and for this reason all expenses incurred as at 30 June 2017 have been recognised in the 
statement of comprehensive income.  Refer to Note 7. 

Exploration expenditures 
The consolidated entity expenses expenditures relating to exploration as they are incurred as they are not considered 
likely  to  be  recoverable.    The  consolidated  entity  has  not  extracted  any  reserves  and  therefore  all  of  the  exploration 
expenses should be expensed. Management assessed such judgement in light of no mineral reserves being founded as 
of yet. 

Note 4. Acquisition of Lithium Brine Projects in Nevada. 

On  22  December  2016  Reedy  Lagoon  entered  into  an  agreement  (Share  Purchase  Agreement)  under  which  Reedy 
Lagoon acquired Nevada Lithium Pty Ltd. Nevada Lithium Pty Ltd owns 3 lithium brine projects in Nevada, USA through 
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sierra Lithium LLC.  

The Share Purchase Agreement requires Reedy Lagoon to fund exploration costs on the projects to advance them to a 
stage where drilling is warranted. During the report period $434,354 was spent by Reedy Lagoon on exploration costs 
on  the  projects.  In  the  period  post  balance  date  to  the  date  of  this  report,  Reedy  Lagoon  has  spent  $131,153  on 
exploration costs on the projects.   

To complete the acquisition Reedy Lagoon needs to issue $2m "worth" of RLC shares to the vendors of Nevada Lithium 
on or before the end of calendar year 2017. The number of RLC Shares to be issued to the vendors is to be calculated 
by reference to the offer price of RLC Shares under a capital raising of at least $2m to fund drilling on the projects. 

The  Listing  Rules  require  Reedy  Lagoon  to  obtain  the  consent  of  its  shareholders  to  the  issue  of  the  $2M  "worth"  of 
RLC Shares to the vendors. 

Note 5. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 
The  Company  is  organised  into  one  operating  segments:  mineral  exploration  in  Australia.  This  operating  segment  is 
based  on  the  internal  reports  that  are  reviewed  and  used  by  the  Board  of  Directors  (who  are  identified  as  the  Chief 
Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

Note 15. Equity - issued capital (continued) 

Capital risk management 
RLC’s  objectives  when  managing  capital  are  to  safeguard  the  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern  and 
exploit  the  mineral  assets  under  its  control  in  order  to  provide  future  returns  for  shareholders  and  benefits  for  other 
stakeholders. 

Capital  is  regarded  as  total  equity,  as  recognised  in  the  statement  of  financial  position,  plus  net  debt.  Net  debt  is 
calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. 

The Company continuously reviews the capital structure to ensure:- 
• Sufficient funds are available to implement its exploration expenditure programs in accordance with forecasted needs; 
and 
• Sufficient funds for the other operational needs of the Company are maintained. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2016 annual report.

price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program 
focuses  on  the  unpredictability  of  financial  markets  and  seeks  to  minimise  potential  adverse  effects  on  the  financial 
performance  of  the  consolidated  entity.    The  consolidated  entity  uses  different  methods  to measure  different  types  of 
risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and 
other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market 
risk. 

Risk  management  is  carried  out  by  senior  finance  executives  ('finance')  under  policies  approved  by  the  Board  of 
Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity 
and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the 
consolidated entity's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis. 

Market risk 

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. 

Price risk 
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk. 

Interest rate risk 
The consolidated entity is not exposed to significant interest rate risk. 

Credit risk 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the 
consolidated  entity.  The  consolidated  entity  has  a  strict  code  of  credit,  including  obtaining  agency  credit  information, 
confirming  references  and  setting  appropriate  credit  limits.  The  consolidated  entity  obtains  guarantees  where 
appropriate  to  mitigate  credit  risk.  The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  at  the  reporting  date  to  recognised  financial 
assets  is  the  carrying  amount,  net  of  any  provisions  for  impairment  of  those  assets,  as  disclosed  in  the  statement  of 
financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral. 

The consolidated entity trade and other receivables consist of GST receivable and interest receivable.  For this reason 
the consolidated entity is not exposed to significant credit risk. 

Liquidity risk 
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and 
cash equivalents) to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. 

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities 
by  continuously  monitoring  actual  and  forecast  cash  flows  and  matching  the  maturity  profiles  of  financial  assets  and 
liabilities.

Note 18. Financial instruments (continued) 

Remaining contractual maturities 
The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. 
The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date 
on  which  the  financial  liabilities  are  required  to  be  paid.  The  tables  include  both  interest  and  principal  cash  flows 
disclosed  as  remaining  contractual  maturities  and  therefore  these  totals  may  differ  from  their  carrying  amount  in  the

Note 20. Remuneration of auditors 

During the financial year the following fees were paid or payable for services provided by Moore Stephens Audit (Vic), 
the auditor of the Company: 

Audit services - Moore Stephens Audit (Vic) 
Audit or review of the financial statements 

Other services - Moore Stephens Audit (Vic)

It is the Company’s policy to engage the external auditor to provide services additional to their audit duties where the 
external auditor’s experience and expertise with the Company’s are important and it is logical and efficient for them to 
provide those services.  The provision of non-audit services during the year by the external auditor is compatible with, 
and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Note 21. Contingent liabilities 

The Company intends to purchase Nevada Lithium Pty Ltd as noted in Note 3.  In order to complete the acquisition the 
Company must issue $2,000,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to the vendors of Nevada Lithium 
Pty  Ltd.  This issue  of the  Company’s shares is required to  be made by no  later than 31  December 2017.  Under the  
Share Purchase Agreement the “$2,000,000 worth” of shares in the Company is to be calculated  using the offer price 
per  share  at  which  shares  are  offered  under  a  contemporaneous  capital  raising  for  not  less  than  $2,000,000.      A 
contingent liability exists at 30 June 2017 for the issue of $2,000,000  worth of fully paid ordinary shares,  the value of 
which liability is contingent upon the offer price under the contemporaneous capital raising. The Company is not obliged 
to complete the acquisition of Nevada Lithium, but if it does not issue $2,000,000 worth of shares in the Company to the 
vendors of Nevada Lithium by 31 December 2017 the acquisition will terminate and the Company will have no right to 
recover any amount paid as exploration costs on the lithium brine projects. 

Note 22. Exploration expenditure commitments 

The Company held one tenement, EL5580. Ongoing annual exploration expenditure is required to maintain title to the 
consolidated entity’s mineral exploration tenements.  No provision has been made in the accounts for these amounts as 
the amounts are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of the operations of the consolidated entity. 

Tenement expenditure is dependent upon exploration results and available cash resources.  Expenditure commitments 
are also impacted upon and may be reduced where access to areas has been restricted by the existence of Aboriginal 
freehold, Native Title and Native Title claims.   

The  minimum  expenditure  requirement  is  $170,000  for  the  12  months  ending  11  Nov  2017.  Unless  the  Minister 
determines  otherwise,  if  the  minimum  expenditure  ($170,000)  is  not  satisfied  then  50%  of  the  licence  area  must  be 
reduced by the end of 1 Nov 2017.  All diamond interests have been farmed out to DiamondCo Limited under the terms 
of the Diamond Farm-out Agreement. Expenditure by DiamondCo Limited on EL5580 under the terms of the Diamond 
Farm-out Agreement exceeded $100,000 at the date of this report.  

The  statutory  expenditure  requirement  is  subject  to  negotiation  with  the  relevant  state  department,  and  expenditure 
commitments  may  be  varied  between  tenements,  or  reduced  subject  to  reduction  of  exploration  area  and/or 
relinquishment of non-prospective tenements.

Note 26. Interests in joint ventures 

EL 5580 is subject to a joint venture agreement, the Diamond Farm Out Agreement, which transfers all RLC’s interest in 
diamonds in this tenement to DiamondCo Limited. 

Tenements which pre-date and carry through to EL 5580 were subject to a joint venture agreement, the Edward Creek 
Base Metals Joint Venture (“ECBMJV”) which was terminated and all interests in the ECBMJV were forfeited to RLC on 
9 June 2009. The termination of the joint venture was disputed by the other parties, but RLC considers the dispute to be 
baseless. Prior to the termination of the joint venture RLC held a 62% interest in the tenements. 

Note 27. Events after the reporting period 

On 30 August 2017, the Company announced that it had obtained permits to drill two holes at its lithium brine project in 
Nevada USA.  It has negotiated a contract with Boart Longyear to undertake the drilling which will be entered into once 
the company has raised funding for the drilling. 

Since  30 June 2017,  the  Company has paid  amounts totalling  $131,153 as payment or reimbursement of exploration 
costs incurred in relation the Nevada Lithium Pty Ltd brine projects in Nevada, USA. 

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2017 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect 
the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future 
financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF REEDY LAGOON CORPORATION LIMITED AND  
CONTROLLED ENTITIES 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited and controlled entities (the Company), 
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the 
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a 
summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion: 

a) 

the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

i. 

ii. 

giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its financial 
performance for the year then ended; and  

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

b) 

the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our 
report.  We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial 
report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
opinion. 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to 
the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a 
going concern and therefore the company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the 
normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 
the financial report of the current period.  Except for the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to 
Going Concern section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our 
report.  

Other Information 

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the information included 
in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the financial report and our 
auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other 
information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal 
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company to continue 
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic 
alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.  
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

43 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and 
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

 

 

 

 

 

identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, 
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient 
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement 
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, 
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control; 

obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of 
the Company’s internal control; 

evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 
and related disclosures made by directors; 

conclude on the appropriateness of director’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on 
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may 
cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material 
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 
financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on 
the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions 
may cause the Company’s to cease to continue as a going concern; and 

evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, 
and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that 
achieves fair presentation.  

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit 
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our 
audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably 
be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in 
the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these 
matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in 
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the 
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such 
communication.
