Chairman’s Letter 

Dear Shareholders 

Annual Report for Financial Year 2022  

Level 44,  600 Bourke Street 
Melbourne    VIC   Australia 
Ph:   (03) 8420 6280

During the financial year ended 30 June 2022 the Company advanced its interests in lithium, iron and 
gold. 

 At the Alkali Lake North lithium‐brine project in Nevada, USA additional ground was acquired over areas 
which the Company has interpreted from its geophysical surveys as containing extensions to brine 
deposits. Subsequent seismic survey has provided further support for these interpretations.   

The early encouragement given by initial sampling for gold at Burracoppin in Western Australia last year 
has been bolstered by further sampling. Recent results from soil sampling are indicating the presence of 
a geological mineralizing system that has regional scale extending through the Company’s tenements.  

The Company’s collaboration with CSIRO on the Burracoppin magnetite deposit has resulted in a model 
of the deposit based in physics which the Company, together with the CSIRO team that constructed the 
model, look forward to investigating with the drill. 

The Burracoppin magnetite deposit is a key element in the Company’s Burracoppin Iron Project.  The 
project is initially aiming at using under 2 Mt per annum of iron‐concentrate for feed to produce pig iron 
in Western Australia. The Burracoppin magnetite deposit’s winning attributes include the location of the 
magnetite deposit, the qualities of the magnetite mineralisation and the planned scale of mining which 
is well matched to the transport infrastructure in place. The Burracoppin Iron Project aims to use local 
supply feeds of mineral‐iron and plant‐carbon and take advantage of the diverse local and overseas 
market for a high‐quality pig iron.  

During the year Reedy Lagoon raised $1.75M through a range of share issues including under 
placement, entitlement and the exercise of options which totaled 87,400,756 shares.   

Thank you for your continued support. 

Yours sincerely, 

Jonathan Hamer 
Chairman

Overview 

Reedy Lagoon has exploration projects for 
lithium, gold and magnetite. 

Reedy Lagoon staked additional claims 
and acquired seismic survey data at its 
lithium-brine project in Nevada, conducted 
soil sampling for gold at Burracoppin and 
in collaboration with CSIRO developed a 
model of the Burracoppin magnetite 
deposit underpinning the Company’s 
Burracoppin Iron project. 

The increased demand for lithium has led 
to significant uptake of ground in the areas 
the Company considers prospective for 
lithium-brines suitable for the developing 
nascent direct extraction technologies. Ground expansions may remain challenging but our existing 
lithium projects are well located close to a pilot plant that Schlumberger/Pure Energy is constructing to 
further develop its lithium-brine processing technology.  

Disruptions to supply lines on a global scale are creating opportunities for smaller producers that are 
less dependent on economies of scale for their operations to remain profitable. The Company’s 
Burracoppin Iron project is well suited to these developments. A smelter of high purity pig iron using 
locally sourced and owned iron and carbon will have greater control over its supply lines making it a  
reliable source of pig iron for parties dependent on such pig iron for their operations. Burracoppin Iron 
is well positioned for the shift by consumers to prioritise quality and reliability of supply.

On 2 May 2022 and following delivery to Reedy Lagoon of a report titled: “MagResource. Estimation 
of magnetite resources via integration of quantitative mineralogy, geochemistry, petrophysics and 
magnetic modelling: A case study on Burracoppin Magnetite prospect, WA”  the project with CSIRO 
through CSIRO Kick-Start, to develop a method of determining magnetite resources using magnetic 
modelling was concluded. Collaboration with CSIRO continues however, with both parties looking 
forward to Reedy Lagoon drilling out the MagResource model. 

On 27 July 2022 the agreement with Dinsdale Consultants Pty Ltd and Smelt Tech Consulting Pty Ltd 
to pursue a commercial objective of establishing “green iron” production in Western Australia using 
HIsmelt Technology to smelt magnetite from the Burracoppin deposit using biochar as the reductant 
instead of coal was amended to have services in the future provided by MinRizon Projects Pty Ltd 
and replace Dinsdale Consultants Pty Ltd with MinRizon Projects Pty Ltd.

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited 
Review of operations
30 June 2022

Reedy Lagoon has targeted brine sources of lithium because it intends becoming a low-cost producer 
of battery grade lithium chemical. It sees risk in producing a lithium concentrate (from hard rock mineral 
deposits) for sale as feedstock to an intermediary for processing into a battery grade (or other) lithium 
product.  

Water rights control access to ground water including lithium-bearing brine. While the rights to dissolved 
and particulate minerals including the ownership of lithium contained in a brine, are held in a  Placer 
Claim (under US Federal legislation) the legal right to pump ground water from a basin is controlled 
separately by State of Nevada legislation. Water in deserts is a valuable and scarce commodity. Water 
rights as a consequence are highly regulated and allocations are restricted. Most of the water rights in 
the  Clayton  Valley water  catchment  are  owned  by  Albemarle Corp. for  its  Silver Peak Lithium  Brine 
Operation (refer Figure 1).  

In 2016 when the Company initiated its Nevada lithium brine projects, a new way to extract lithium from 
brines  located  in  Clayton  Valley,  Nevada  had  been  reported  by  Pure  Energy  Minerals  (a  “direct 
extraction” method). The new direct extraction method not only had low projected operating costs for 
battery-grade  lithium  carbonate  and  lithium  hydroxide  production  but  most  importantly,  involved 
extraction  of  the  lithium  as  a  first  step  allowing  the  bulk  of  the  brine  to  be  returned  to  the  basin.  All 
existing commercial production of lithium from brines involves pre-treating the brine prior to extracting 
the  lithium  and  this  pre-treatment  involves  pumping  the  brine  through  vast  evaporation  ponds  from 
which the bulk of the brine water is evaporated. 

The  critical  importance  of  the  direct  extraction  processes  is  their  potential  to  drastically  reduce  the 
volume of water consumed by enabling return of the  brine to the basin unchanged other than by the 
removal  of  lithium.  Under  current  arrangements  there  are  insufficient  water  rights  available  for 
conventional  evaporation-pond  based  brine  processing  at  either  of  the  Company’s  existing  projects. 
Reduced  water  consumption  via  the  direct  extraction  process  has  potential  to  facilitate  regulatory 
approvals  to  pump  and  process  ground  water  in  the  event  that  “consumptive  use”  is  used  as  the 
measure of the water allocation as opposed to the gross water extracted.  

Direct  extraction  technologies  are  advancing.  Reedy  Lagoon  now  considers  there  are  at  least  3 
alternative direct extraction process methods that might enable commercial production of lithium from 
brine. One of the these is under development by Schlumberger New Energy which has engaged with 
Pure Energy Minerals to build a pilot plant in Clayton Valley (refer Figure 1).  

Reedy  Lagoon  holds  two  project  areas,  Clayton  Valley  and  Alkali  Lake  North,  which  comprise  a 
combined area of 3,502 hectares (8,655 acres) under 446 placer claims following claim staking activity 
in September 2021. Brine targets defined in detailed geophysical data (3D-AMT) are present in both 
project areas. All the placer claims are 100% owned and there are no royalty arrangements.  

Studies and land investigations to build additional lithium-brine exploration projects are continuing.

The Clayton Valley lithium-brine project is located within 10 kilometres northwest of the Silver Peak 
Lithium Operation (owned by Albemarle Corporation) where the southern end of Big Smoky Valley 
meets the western side of Clayton Valley (refer Figure 1). 

A brine target potentially comprising a 200 metre thick interval of sediments containing multiple brine 
filled aquifers has been identified in audio MagnetoTelluric (3D AMT) survey data (refer ASX release 
23/8/2018). Importantly, we see similarities between the geology indicated in our 3D AMT survey with 
the geology that has been determined and reported for the Silver Peak lithium brine production area 
located a few kilometres to the southeast.   

The next phase of exploration is likely to comprise drilling the brine targets identified in the 3D AMT 
data. Timing depends on external developments including in direct extraction lithium-brine capabilities 
and funding.  

Alkali Lake North Project 

LITHIUM in BRINE

The Alkali Lake North lithium-brine project covers part of a discrete sub basin located 30 kilometres 
northeast of Silver Peak and it occurs within an extensive 30 kilometres long, northwest trending 
basin that drains to the south towards Alkali Lake. Satellite and gravity imagery suggest that a deep 
basin is masked by recent alluvium. Several hot springs discharge alkaline salts onto the surface of 
the playa lake located 10 kilometres to the southwest of the project area (refer Figure 1).

Brine targets potentially comprising multiple brine aquifers within sediments have been identified (as 
conductors) in Audio MagnetoTelluric (“AMT”) data.  

In early September 2021 the Company staked additional placer claims to cover a shallow brine layer 
(conductor)  identified  at  a  depth  of  200  metres  (refer  to  Figure  2  and  ASX  release  7/09/2021).  The 
staking  also  acquired  north  and  south  extensions  to  cover  potential  extensions  to  a  tubular  shaped 
conductor located on the easter side of the project area.  

Figure 2.   Alkali Lake North project : Interpreted conductors and structure over 2D-AMT data. 

Subsequent 3D Audio Magneto-telluric (3D-AMT) survey investigating the linear conductor located in 
the eastern part of the project area recovered data indicating the conductor to be 4,300 metres in length 
with a keel extending to at least 600 metres depth over its central section.  The full lateral extent of the 
tubular  brine  target  lies  within  a  sub-basin  indicated  in  gravity  data  and  the  target’s  central  keel 
coincides with the deepest part of the basin (refer ASX release 14/10/2021).  

Interpretations of 2D Shallow 
Seismic  Reflection 
(SSR) 
data  acquired  along  a  7 
traverse 
long 
kilometre 
running east-west across the 
centre  of  the  project  area 
include  reflectors  pulling  up 
the  eastern  and 
towards 
western  ends  of  the  traverse 
suggesting 
sedimentary 
layers  sag  downwards  in  the 
central  portion  of  the  project 
area  which  would 
be 
consistent with an interpreted 
basin structure from gravity data 
(refer  to  Figure  3  and    ASX 
release 6/01/2022).

tubular shaped conductor near project’s eastern boundary over bouger gravity image. 
Data source: USGS PACE Gravity compilation. 

The concurrent presence of extensive AMT conductivity anomalies and shallow seismic reflectors 
located within a basin structure indicated in gravity data and captured within the project area are 
strong indicators of the presence of a substantial brine aquifer system located within the Alkali Lake 
North project.   

Additional 3D-AMT survey over areas not yet covered is planned in order to acquire data to aid drill 
target selection for testing the extensive flat lying aquifers interpreted in the 2D-AMT and SSR data 
across the project area.  Drill testing for lithium bearing brine in the large tubular shaped target 
located in the eastern side of the project is also planned.

Reedy  Lagoon  is  targeting  gold  mineralisation  at  Burracoppin  in  the  vicinity  of  its  magnetite  deposit 
(part of the iron project) located 260 kilometres east of Perth in Western Australia. The project is 60 
kilometres north of the Tampia gold mine and 30 kilometres southwest from the Edna May gold mine 
(both owned by Ramelius Resources Limited). 

Figure 5.  Burracoppin Gold Project.  Yandina Shear Zone, project tenure and location over 
regional geology. 

Initial focus of exploration includes a structural feature, the Yandina Shear Zone, and areas adjacent to 
it. Most of the 30 kilometre strike length of the Yandina Shear Zone within the project area has seen 
very little exploration. Exploration using soil sampling along traverse lines and low detection gold assay 
(lower detection limit 0.1 ppb Au) is generating encouraging results.

Current results are advancing the Windmills 
and Lady Janet prospects as well as areas 
of interest created in the south by the 
Company’s wide spaced exploratory soil 
sampling conducted earlier this year 

Figure 6.  Location of gold target areas including 
Windmills and Lady Janet prospects and the 
Yandina Shear Zone.   

The Windmills Prospect was initiated in 2021 when  geochemical data recovered from soil samples on 
a traverse in an area devoid of any known past sampling identified an auriferous zone 800 metres 
wide (refer ASX release 27/05/2021).  

Follow-up sampling has recovered results that combine to  extend the auriferous zone to  measure at 
least 1,400 metres by 400 metres (refer Figures 6 & 7 and ASX release 28/09/2022).  

The prospect is located about 1.5 kilometres east from the mapped location of the Yandina Shear 
Zone and the auriferous zone is elongated in a direction parallel to it.

At Lady Janet, gold assays from soil 
samples indicate a contiguous zone 
extending 1,200 metres located to the 
east of the Yandina Shear Zone within 
which samples on 7 adjacent traverses 
at 200 metre separations reported with 
at least 5 ppb gold (refer Figures 6 & 8).  

The gold assay values show a clear 
drop to less than 1.2 ppb gold along the 
eastern ends of the traverse lines 
suggesting the results may be related to 
underlying geology and lend support to 
the exploration method in this 
environment

Additional exploratory traverses in the southern part of the project area, including the 2 traverses 
1,000 metres apart shown in Figure 9, have recovered anomalous gold (refer also to Figure 6). Peak 
gold anomalism on the two sample traverses in Figure 9 coincide with the mapped location of the 
Yandina Shear Zone.  

Infill sample-lines are needed to investigate if the line results are linked and sample traverses to the 
north and south are warranted to investigate for extensions.

Additional assay, including multi-element, to investigate for path-finder elements and to assist in 
interpreting the gold assay results recovered over the project to date, is under consideration. 

Next steps include infill and extension sampling at identified anomalies, systematic soil sampling to 
recover geochemical data to aid targeting gold-bearing mineralised systems for drill testing and 
additional exploratory traverses in untested areas.

MINING, BIOMASSING and SMELTING 
to produce 
GREEN HIGH PURITY PIG IRON. 

Reedy Lagoon is pursuing a plan to produce and sell Green High Purity Pig Iron ("Green HPPI") by: 

(cid:120)  Mining mineral magnetite from the Burracoppin deposit to produce iron concentrate 
(cid:120)  Growing or otherwise acquiring biomass for processing to produce biochar 
(cid:120)  Smelting the iron concentrate with the biochar using HIsmelt technology to produce Green HPPI 
(cid:120)  Selling Green HPPI to steel makers in Australia, North America, Europe, UK and Asia. 

Operating scenarios for processing Burracoppin magnetite to produce Green High Purity Pig Iron using 
HIsmelt  technology  and  biochar  from  locally  grown  biomass  have  been  investigated  in  a  study 
undertaken for the Company by Dinsdale Consultants (refer to ASX release 19/03/2021). The scenarios 
consider  an  initial  1  Mtpa  rate  of  pig  iron  production  which  would  require  approximately  1.6  Mtpa 
Burracoppin  iron  concentrate  and  extended  research  previously  conducted  which  identified  that  the 
HIsmelt technology could use biochar to smelt the coarse grained Burracoppin magnetite concentrate 
to produce HPPI with zero net emissions of CO2 (refer to ASX release 20/08/2020). 

Global developments over the  last 12  months have  brought sharp focus to the importance  of  locally 
sourced inputs and dispersed markets that preferably include a base of local buyers. 

The  steps  required  to  achieve  annual  production  of  1Mtpa  Green  High  Purity  Pig  Iron  include 
establishing the following: 

(cid:120)  Mining - Burracoppin Magnetite 
(cid:120)  Biomassing for Carbon Cycling

The  Burracoppin  magnetite  deposit  is  evidenced  in  airborne  magnetic  data.  Metallurgical  studies 
conducted between 2012 and 2014 using core samples from drilling in 2012 indicate a high grade iron 
concentrate with low levels of impurities can be produced at a relatively coarse grind size (P80 -150 
micron) (refer to ASX release 23/11/2012 and  17/11/2014). 

Additional drilling and metallurgical testwork are planned to establish Indicated Resources which, if 
achieved, will enable financials for the planned mining and production of iron concentrate for the 
smelter to be estimated. 

A model of the magnetite deposit was established by a study which aims to develop a method of 
determining magnetite resources using petrophysically constrained magnetic modelling and involved 
analysing sub-samples collected from our core from earlier drilling and analysing them to recover 
magnetic, density, geochemical, mineralogical and structural data (MagResource method). These 
data were used to constrain the modelling of the airborne magnetic data acquired in 2011 and 
reprocessed by CSIRO.  

Figure 10.  CSIRO’s MagResource model of the Burracoppin magnetite deposit in plan view.  

The study is the product of the Company’s engagement with Australia’s national science agency, 
CSIRO, which commenced in May 2021 and delivered its final report in April 2022 (refer to ASX 
release 26/05/2021 and 29/04/2022). The project was made possible through CSIRO Kick-Start, an 
initiative that provides funding and support for innovative Australian start-ups and small businesses to 
access CSIRO’s research expertise and capabilities. The study has contributed to the development of 
a new method for quantifying the iron content of deposits of magnetite, referred to as the 
“MagResource” method.

Figure 11.  CSIRO’s MagResource model of the Burracoppin magnetite deposit shown beneath land 
surface imaged from GoogleEarth.  

The modelling of the airborne magnetic data has resulted in the generation of 3D shapes that 
represent potential magnetite mineralisation both in space and in content of magnetite. The CSIRO 
MagResource model has potential to significantly assist the Company’s planned drilling and in 
understanding the geology of the deposit (refer ASX release 29/04/2022).  

Current practice normally requires drilling hundreds of holes into a potential resource to determine 
metal content which is extrapolated between holes using statistical methods. By developing methods 
to quantify iron resources using 99% non-invasive technology we can minimise impacts for local 
communities and reduce the costs for the early stages of exploration, leading to faster resource 
definition and greater certainty for investors and stakeholders. This is the potential we see in the 
MagResource method that our collaboration with CSIRO is developing. 

Planned resource definition drilling has been modified to include initial holes directed to investigate 
the CSIRO model so that if the model is proven, subsequent holes may be guided by that model. 

Biomassing – Carbon Capture 

The Company is investigating the potential for establishing a biomass business to produce biochar to 
replace  all  coal  used  in  the  Burracoppin  Iron  Project's  planned  pig  iron  production.  Studies  have 
identified  the  potential  for  locally  grown  biomass  to  produce  all  the  carbon  required  for  the  planned 
smelting of Burracoppin magnetite into pig iron (refer to ASX release 19/03/2021). 

Biomass  includes  grass,  wood,  crops  and  certain  "waste"  products  otherwise  destined  for  landfill. 
Biomass has been used as a fuel but we intend harvesting the carbon it contains by processing it into 
biochar.  The  biochar  will  then  be  used  to  replace  coal  as  the  source  of  carbon  required  to  smelt 
magnetite into pig iron. Our net operation will be smelting magnetite into metal which will release carbon 
dioxide into the air and cropping biomass to extract carbon dioxide from the air. 

15 

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited 
Review of operations

The  project  will  have  greenhouse  (including  carbon  dioxide)  emissions  additional  to  those  from  the 
smelting  operation,  including  from  harvesting  and  processing  biomass,  mining  and  transport.  These 
additional emissions in total will be significantly less than those from the smelting operation and it is 
anticipated  that  they  could  be  mitigated  by  biomass/biochar  production  in  excess  of  the  smelter 
requirements and / or by purchasing carbon credits. 

Our  Iron  Project  will  encompass  carbon  capture  through  agriculture  and  carbon  release  through 
industry: a cycle - what is taken out is put back in. 

It is intended that the biomass business will enable the project to produce pig iron with net zero carbon 
dioxide emissions together with an alternative crop for farmers in the Western Australian Wheatbelt. 

NOTE:  It is expected that it may take 5 to 10 years to achieve the production rate of 0.8Mtpa biochar 
required for the planned production of 1Mtpa HPPI (refer ASX  19/03/2021). 

Smelting – Green High Purity Pig Iron 

HIsmelt technology + Magnetite + Biochar = Green High Purity Pig Iron. 

In the event that Steps 1 (Mining), and 2 (Biomassing) are achieved then the following objectives and 
scenarios would be pursued: 

HIsmelt  is  a  proven  technology  that  was  initially  developed  in  Australia  before  being  purchased  by 
Molong Petroleum Machinery Ltd and developed commercially in China. HIsmelt smelts iron ore into 
High Purity Pig Iron ("HPPI") with lower environmental emissions than the conventional blast furnace 
technology and can produce "green" pig iron via using sustainably produced biochar as the reductant 
instead of coal (refer to ASX releases 09/02/2021 and 19/03/2021). 

HIsmelt is an innovative smelting process capable of using the coarse Burracoppin concentrate as direct 
feed thus significantly reducing process costs at the mine  site and adverse emissions at the smelter 
site (as neither sintering or pelletising of the concentrate is required). HIsmelt is also capable of using 
other feedstocks including industrial products that would otherwise go to landfill. 

The HIsmelt smelt process produces a net excess of electricity, which will be "green" electricity when 
using  biochar  as  the  reductant  instead  of  coal.  This  green  electricity  may  be  able  to  be  counted  as 
mitigating  carbon  emissions.  The  excess electricity (estimated  at 20MW  during  smelting operations) 
could potentially be used to produce green hydrogen for use in a first step in the smelt reaction in order 
to further reduce carbon emissions (refer to ASX release 19/03/2021).

depend on the magnitude and duration of the economic downturn, with the full range of possible effects unknown.

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 2022 financial year

Voting and comments made at the Company's 30 November 2021 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')

At the 30 November 2021 AGM, 98.73% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 
2021. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

* There has been no increase in remuneration rates to directors in the report period. The payments totaling $366,892 to directors were in 
respect of contracted amounts previously not paid and which arose as follows: 

Directors agreed to not receive or be entitled to receive portions of their contracted remuneration for the periods 1 July 2019 to 30 September 
2021 and commencing 1 March 2022 on the basis that amounts not receivable during the periods would become payable if and only if (1) the 
board agreed to make payment; (2) the Company is solvent at the time of payment; and (3) the Company would remain solvent after payment.

This was agreed by the directors in order to reduce overheads, increase available funding for exploration and preserve cash pending raising 
additional funds through issuing shares. At 30 September 2021 the amount not paid totaled $366,892.

The directors proposed at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2021 ("AGM") that some or all of these conditional payments for the 
period 1 July 2019 to 30 September 2021 become payable, but only on the further condition that any amounts paid (after allowing for tax on 
such amounts which the director may request be paid free of this further condition) would be applied by the directors to subscribe for new fully 
paid ordinary shares in the Company  (“Shares”) at an issue price equal to the 5 day VWAP on the day prior to issue (“the Scheme”). Under the 
Scheme any amount paid to a director (other than amounts in respect of tax requested by that director to be free of the subscription 
requirement) would be returned to the Company as new share capital issued at market.
Shareholders approved the Scheme at the AGM, each of the directors elected to receive the payment under the Scheme and subscribed in 
aggregate $215,375 for 5,331,064 fully paid shares in RLC at market ($0.0404 per share) on 3 December 2021.

Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2022

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 44, 600 Bourke Street
Melbourne
Victoria 3000

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 30 September 2022. The directors have the 
power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, 
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
This financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.

At the date of this report the Company has sufficient funds to meet all commitments as and when they fall due for at least 12 months. 

As at 20 September 2022, the consolidated entity had cash and cash equivalents of $425,000. The Company estimates expenditure of 
$362,930 for wages, fees and overheads including listing fees for the 12-month period following the date of this report. 

The Company has sufficient funds to continue its current activities which include studies developing new lithium project opportunities in the US, 
interpretation of the recent results from soil sampling at the Burracoppin gold project and planning for drilling at the Burracoppin magnetite 
deposit. 

The Company plans to fund additional exploration including drilling at its existing projects by raising capital by issuing securities or through joint 
venture under project farm out agreements.

The Directors have assessed the Company’s current financial position and are of the view that application of the going concern basis of 
accounting is appropriate.

Comparatives

The comparative figures have been classified in certain circumstances to provide a more meaningful representation of the financial statements.

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 financial 
assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment 
properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

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.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2022

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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 21.

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 2022 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.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign 
exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of 
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The 
revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the 
rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income 
through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

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 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. At the date of this report insufficient data has been
recovered to permit an assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves at any of the Company’s projects. The Company has 
accordingly expensed all its expenditure relating to exploration during the report period. 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.

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.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2022

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue recognition
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

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.

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
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable 
the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount 
recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into 
account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current 
pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

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.

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 cost 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 cost 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.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2022

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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 2022. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact 
of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

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, 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 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. 

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.

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

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.

Exploration expenditures
The consolidated entity expenses expenditures relating to exploration 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. At the date of this report insufficient data has been 
recovered to permit an assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves at any of the Company’s projects. The Company has 
accordingly expensed all its expenditure relating to exploration during the report period. 

Provision for restoration
Significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining this provision as there are a number of factors that will affect the ultimate 
liability. These factors include estimates of the extent and costs of rehabilitation activities, technological changes, regulatory changes, cost 
increases/decreases and changes in discount rates. These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts 
currently provided. The provision at balance date represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future restoration costs 
required.

Note 4. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments
The Company is organised into one operating segments: mineral exploration.  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.

The above potential tax benefit for tax losses has not been recognised in the statement of financial position. These tax losses can only be 
utilised in the future if the continuity of ownership test is passed, or failing that, the same business test is passed.

The above potential tax benefit, which excludes tax losses, for deductible temporary differences has not been recognised in the statement of 
financial position as the recovery of this benefit is uncertain.

The potential future income tax benefit will only be obtained if:
a) The Company derives future assessable income of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;
b) The Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and
c) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit.

Note 5. Income tax expense

Income Tax Rate 

The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 25% payable by base rate entities for the 2022 and future income years. 
The base rate entity tax rate applies where the aggregated turnover of the entity is less than $50 million and less than 80% of assessable 
income is base rate entity passive income.  The rate used is the one that is expected to apply when the deferred tax assets of the entity are 
realised and the deferred tax liabilities of the entity are settled. The corporate tax rate has been reduced when compared with the previous year, 
which also used a rate of 25%.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of 
and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of 
authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one 
vote.

Share buy-back
There is no current on-market share buy-back.

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 is maintained.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2021 annual report.

Note 15. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives

The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, 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 the managing director 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. The managing 
director identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the consolidated entity's operating units. The managing  director reports to the 
Board on a regular 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. 

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 has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the 
use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of 
the consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.

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.

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor 
to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.

38

 
 
Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2022

Note 15. Financial instruments (continued)

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.

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 statement of financial position.

Note 17. Remuneration of auditors (continued)

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 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 18. Contingent liabilities

Reedy Lagoon’s wholly-owned US subsidiary, Sierra Lithium LLC, has received a notice of intent from the US tax office that  US $25,000 penalty 
tax may be payable by Sierra Lithium for not having lodged a return for the 2020 financial year by its due date. While Sierra Lithium is seeking 
abatement of the penalty due to difficulties the pandemic presented in timely filing, a provision for contingent liability for the tax penalty has been 
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for the current period.

The Company is not aware of any other contingent liabilities.

Note 19. Exploration expenditure commitments

Projects located in North America
The consolidated entity held 446 Placer Claims at 30 June 2022 in connection with its Alkali Lake North and Clayton Valley Lithium Brine 
projects located in Nevada, USA. Annual Land Fees are payable to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and Esmeralda County for these 
claims with payment required prior to 1 September each year. The Annual Land Fees payable in respect of the 446 Placer Claims amounted to 
US$79,466. At the date of this report all Land Fees in respect of the 446 Placer Claims held at 30 June 2022 were paid up to 31 August 2023.  
There is no minimum exploration expenditure requirement for Placer Claims located in Nevada, USA.

Projects located in Australia
The consolidated entity held three tenements:  E70/4941, E70/5467 and E70/5544, located in Western Australia at the date of this report. 
Ongoing annual exploration expenditure is required to maintain title to the tenements. Tenement expenditure will be determined by the Company 
and is dependent upon exploration results and available cash resources. The statutory expenditure requirement is subject to negotiation with the 
relevant state department, and expenditure commitments may be reduced subject to reduction of exploration area and/or relinquishment of non-
prospective tenements. Unless the Minister determines otherwise, if the minimum annual expenditure on a tenement is not satisfied the licence 
may be forfeited. The combined minimum annual expenditures for the Australian tenements is $83,000. 

No provision has been made in the accounts for exploration commitments.

Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited 
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 
We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Reedy  Lagoon  Corporation  Limited  and  its 
controlled entities (the “Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial 
position  as  at  30  June  2022,  the    consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive 
income, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the consolidated statement of changes in equity 
for the financial year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies 
and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the company as set out on page 43. 

In our opinion, the financial report of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited and its controlled entities is in 
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

(a)  giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and 
of its performance for the financial year ended on that date; and 

(b)  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

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  Consolidated  Entity  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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Consolidated Entity, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as 
at the time of this auditor’s report. 

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 

Without modifying the opinion expressed above, we draw attention to Note 2 “Significant Accounting 
Policies – Going Concern” which indicates the company incurred a loss for the period ended 30 June 
2022  of  $1,387,442  and  operating  cash  outflows  of  $1,494,497.  Further,  the  company’s  ability  to 
continue the exploration and development of its mining tenements, continue to assess new projects and 
meet operational expenditure at current levels is dependent upon future capital raising. These conditions 
along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate 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. 

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

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed the key 
audit matter 

Accounting Treatment of Exploration 
and Evaluation Expenses 

We focus on the accounting treatment of 
exploration and evaluation expenses as this 
represents a significant expense of the 
consolidated entity and that the recognition of 
this amount is significantly affected by 
management’s judgement.  

We reviewed the consolidated entity’s 
accounting policy specifying which expenditures 
are recognised as exploration and evaluation 
expenditures and its consistent application of 
the relevant accounting standard and 
accounting policy. 

The consolidated entity has incurred significant 
exploration and evaluation expenditures. The 
accounting treatment of these expenditures 
(whether as capital or expense) can have a 
significant impact on the financial report. This is 
particularly relevant as this consolidated entity is 
in an exploration stage with no production 
activities. As such it is necessary to assess 
whether the facts and circumstances existed to 
suggest that these expenditures were 
recognised in accordance with AASB 6 para 
Aus7.2b (ii) and the consolidated entity’s 
accounting policy. 

We tested samples of the expenditures to 
ensure that these expenditures are associated 
with finding specific mineral resources 

We evaluated whether the exploration and 
evaluation expenditures are expected to be 
recouped, either through successful 
development and exploitation or through sales. 

We enquired with management and evaluated 
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. 

We also considered the appropriateness of the 
related disclosure in Notes 2 and 3 to the 
financial statements. 

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 and have determined that the basis of preparation described in Note 1 to the financial 
report is appropriate to meet the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and is appropriate to meet 
the  needs  of  the  members.  The  directors’  responsibility  also  includes  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  the  basis  of 
preparation, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation 
of Financial Statements, that the consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Consolidated Entity’s 
ability 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 
Consolidated Entity or to cease operations, or have 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.

and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx. This description 
forms part of our auditor’s report. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 20 to 23 of the directors’ report for the 
financial year ended 30 June 2022.  

In our opinion the Remuneration Report of Reedy Lagoon Corporation Limited for the financial year 
ended 30 June 2022, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The directors of the  Consolidated Entity are responsible for the preparation and presentation  of the 
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility 
is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with 
Australian Auditing Standards.
