Renascor has responded to these challenges by 
maintaining the steady advancement of our flagship 
Siviour Graphite and Battery Anode Material Project, 
while concurrently creating additional opportunities 
to build on our shareholder’s investments through 
the development of near-term discovery prospects 
in minerals with favourable commodity price 
outlooks.

At Siviour, we have achieved several breakthroughs 
that confirm the project as among the leading 
graphite developments globally, with strong 
prospects to benefit for the growing lithium-ion 
battery market and advance into a profitable long-
term producer of high quality graphite products.

From the Chairman

Dear Shareholder,

I am very pleased to present 
Renascor’s annual report 
for the twelve-month period 
ending 30 June 2020.

The past year has presented 
an unprecedented set of 
challenges, with COVID-19 
having wide-ranging 
impacts on nearly all 
aspects of society. For 
ASX-listed exploration and 
development companies 
like Renascor, this has 
required both prudence 
and flexibility in light of 
changes in operational and 
market norms.

4

Key achievements have included:
•    Siviour Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS).  The 

Siviour DFS confirms Siviour’s potential as a long-
life graphite concentrate project with amongst the 
lowest operating costs of any graphite development 
globally.  Whilst graphite as a mineral occurrence 
is relatively common, the Siviour DFS establishes 
Siviour as particularly unique as a low cost source 
of high quality graphite located in Australia, amongst 
the most favourable mining jurisdictions in the 
world.

•    Siviour Mineral Ore Reserve.  Work undertook during 
the year resulted in an updated Mineral Reserve 
estimate for Siviour that confirms it as the second 
largest Proven Reserve of graphite in the world and 
the largest Ore Reserve of graphite outside of Africa.

•    Eco-Friendly Battery Anode Material.  Using a 
purification technology that avoids the use of 
potentially harmful hydrofluoric acid, Renascor 
has successfully produced battery-grade anode 
material from Siviour graphite.  The use of 
this more ecologically-friendly method firmly 
establishes Renascor’s commitment to responsible 
environmental management of resources.

•    Battery Anode Material Study.  Following the DFS, 

Renascor completed a study assessing  an integrated 
battery anode material operation to produce Purified 
Spherical Graphite for lithium-ion battery anodes. By 
leveraging off the comparatively low cost of Siviour 
graphite concentrates and co-locating a downstream 
anode material manufacturing operation in South 
Australia, the study confirms the globally competitive 
nature of the project.

The steady progress Renascor achieved at Siviour 
during the past year puts Renascor in an excellent 
position to take the project through development 
and create the first vertically integrated battery 
anode material operation outside of China.  
Significantly, the focus on the production of 
Purified Spherical Graphite aligns the project with 
potential offtake partners in the growing lithium-ion 
battery market.

In addition to our progress at Siviour, Renascor 
also advanced earlier-stage exploration prospects, 
including our Carnding Gold Project in South 
Australia’s Central Gawler Craton. Carnding, which 
we acquired in 2012, is part of a pipeline of highly 
prospective early-stage exploration projects.

At Carnding, we identified multiple prospects for 
near-surface, high-grade gold. As the gold price has 
risen considerably, the Central Gawler region has 
seen an increasing focus on gold, and Renascor 
is pleased to offer shareholders the potential to 
benefit from this renewed interest through 
near-term discovery opportunities in projects 
like Carnding.

We are particularly grateful of the support 
offered by shareholders during the year, 
notwithstanding difficult market conditions and 
subdued equity prices.

With the work undertaken last year, together with 
work programs for the current year including a 
focus on the development of Siviour, as well as gold 
exploration, we believe there is strong potential for 
a re-rating of Renascor by the equity markets.

On behalf of the Board and my fellow shareholders, 
I thank our Managing Director David Christensen 
and the entire Renascor team for their dedicated 
work during an exciting year. I also offer my 
sincere thanks to you, our shareholders, for your 
continued support.

Yours sincerely,

Dick Keevers, Chairman

Review of operations

Company overview

Renascor Resources Limited (Renascor) is an ASX-listed, 
Australian-based company focused on the development 
of economically viable deposits containing graphite, 
gold, copper and other minerals.  

Renascor’s activities during the past financial year were 
primarily directed at developing the Siviour Graphite 
and Battery Anode Material Project (Siviour).

Significant activities undertaken on the Siviour Project 
during the year included:
•    The completion of the Siviour Definitive Feasibility 
Study (DFS) in November. The DFS positively 
confirmed Siviour’s potential as a low cost, long-
life graphite project that can achieve consistently 
attractive profit margins. 

•    Advancement of an integrated battery anode 

material operation in South Australia to produce 
Purified Spherical Graphite (PSG) for lithium-ion 
batteries. 

•    In December 2019 the company entered into a 

joint development agreement with battery anode 
company Sicona Battery Technologies (Sicona) to 
jointly develop battery anode material.

Other projects

In addition to its activities at the Siviour Graphite 
Project, Renascor has maintained a strong exploration 
portfolio, identifying and maintaining a strong pipeline 
of targets for development of gold, copper, nickel, 
cobalt and other mineral assets. To limit non-essential 
exposure, Renascor has also relinquished tenements 
considered less prospective. 

Corporate and financial

For the year ended 30 June 2020 the loss for the Group 
after providing for income tax amounted to $1,072,575 
(2019: $1,321,558). This included an impairment 
write down of capitalised exploration and evaluation 
expenditure of $274,109 (2019: $387,751).

To support the Group’s exploration activities and 
developing the Siviour Graphite Project, the Company 
raised $1,796,468 (after capital raising costs) via 
placements to professional and sophisticated investors 
and a Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) during the year.

On 12 August 2019 the Company announced the results 
of purification tests using a more eco-friendly caustic 
roasting technique that successfully produced battery-
grade spherical graphite from Siviour. The caustic 
roasting method offers environmental advantages over 
the traditional hydrofluoric purification technique.

On 11 November 2019 the Company announced the 
completion of the DFS. The Siviour DFS confirmed 
Siviour’s potential as a low cost, long-life graphite 
project that can achieve consistently attractive profit 
margins.

Directors’ Report 30 June 2020

On 18  December 2019 the Company announced that 
it had entered into a non-binding memorandum of 
understanding (MOU) with Sicona to jointly develop 
battery anode material. Under the terms of the 
MOU, the Company and Sicona will collaborate in the 
development of the next-generation anode material by 
combining Renascor’s expertise in the production of 
purified spherical graphite and Sicona’s expertise in the 
development of silicon-based anodes.  

On 3 March 2020 the company received a Letter of 
Support from the Australian government Export Finance 
Agency (EFA), the official Export Credit Agency (ECA) of 
the Australian Government. The EFA has conducted a 
preliminary review of the Siviour Project, and subject to 
further due diligence it will consider providing finance. 
ECA cover typically supports favourable debt financing 
terms, including competitive margin and increased 
loan tenor.   

On 24 June 2020 the company announced that that it 
has engaged a European investment bank, ABG Sundal 
Collier to manage the proposed debt financing for the 
integrated Siviour Graphite and Battery Anode Material 
Project. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs

During the financial year Renascor took steps to 
manage the impact of  COVID-19, focusing on the health 
of its staff and the communities in which the Company 
works, while seeking to preserve shareholder funds 
and limit the financial impact on Renascor and its 
stakeholders. Work programs were designed to permit 
them to continue with minor disruptions due to travel 
restrictions and shipping delays. Where practicable, 
laboratory and desktop activities were accelerated to 
ensure delays would be minimised when more normal 
operations can be undertaken. 

There were no other significant changes in the state of 
affairs of the Group during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the 
financial year

On 1 July 2020 the company announced the results of 
a study assessing an integrated battery anode material 
operation in South Australia to produce PSG for 
lithium-ion battery anodes.  The study confirms that the 
integration of a PSG processing operation with Siviour 
creates significant added value and aligns the company 
with end-users of PSG seeking supply chain security 
through the world’s first integrated, in-country mine 
and battery anode material operation outside of China. 

On 14 July 2020 the company announced the results 
of independent purification tests that confirmed 
that Siviour is able to produce PSG through a more 
environmentally-friendly caustic roast purification 
method. 

On 21 July 2020 an updated Mineral Ore Reserve 
estimate was announced confirming Siviour as the 
largest reported total Ore Reserve outside of Africa, 
and the second largest reported Proven Reserve of 
graphite in the world. This estimate provides additional 
confidence in the size and quality of the Siviour 
deposit as a consistent source of high-quality graphite 
supporting a mine life of over 40 years.

On 4 August 2020 the Company announced high-grade, 
shallow gold drill intercepts at the Carnding Project in 
South Australia’s Central Gawler Craton. The results 
include over 16 g/t Au at the Soyuz prospect.

On 10 August 2020 the Company announced an 
expansion to the Carding Project, with the approval 
of an exploration licence application over an area 
immediately north of the Soyuz propsect.

On 12 August 2020 independent qualification tests 
undertaken by a German graphite specialist confirmed 
that Siviour PSG meets product specifications required 
for integration of PSG into lithium-ion battery anodes. 

On 28 August 2020 Renascor confirmed multiple 
untested, shallow gold targets along-strike from 
the company’s Soyuz (Carnding) prospect in South 
Australia’s Gawler Craton.

On 18 September 2020 the company announced that 
it has received firm commitments from professional 
and sophisticated investors to raise approximately $3.6 
million (before expenses) at 1.1cents per share with one 
attaching option for every two shares issued. The funds 
raised will be used to advance the Siviour Project and 
Carnding Gold Project.  

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 
30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may 
significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results 
of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in 
future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of 
operations

The Company will continue activities in the exploration, 
evaluation, development and acquisition of viable 
projects with the objective of establishing a significant 
production business.

Environmental regulation and performance

The directors have put in place strategies and 
procedures to ensure that the Group manages its 
compliance with environmental regulations. The 
directors are not aware of any breaches of any 
applicable environmental regulations.

Remuneration report (audited)

The remuneration report details the key management 
personnel remuneration arrangements for the 
Group, in accordance with the requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

The Board is responsible for managing:

Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies 
and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with 
the long-term interests of the Group. 

Key management personnel are those persons having 
authority and responsibility for planning, directing 
and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or 
indirectly, including all directors.

The remuneration report is set out under the following 
main headings:
•    Principles used to determine the nature and amount 

of remuneration

•    Details of remuneration
•    Service agreements
•    Share-based compensation
•    Additional information
•    Additional disclosures relating to key management 

personnel

Principles used to determine the nature and 
amount of remuneration

The objective of the Group’s executive reward 
framework is to ensure reward for performance is 
competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. 
The framework aligns executive reward with the 
achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of 
value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform 
to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. 
The Board of Directors (‘the Board’) ensures that 
executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for 
good reward governance practices:
•    competitiveness and reasonableness
•    acceptability to shareholders
•    performance linkage / alignment of executive 

compensation
•    transparency
The Board carried out the functions of the Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee and is responsible for 
determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements 
for its directors and executives. The performance of 
the Group depends on the quality of its directors and 
executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, 
motivate and retain high performance and high quality 
personnel.
•    non-executive director fees;
•    executive remuneration (directors and other 

executives); and

•    the over-arching executive remuneration framework 

and incentive plan policies.

10

Relationship between remuneration and Group 
performance:
During the financial year, the Group has generated 
losses as its principal activity was developing the Siviour 
Graphite Project and exploration for graphite, copper, 
gold and other minerals within South Australia. As 
the Group is still in the development, exploration and 
evaluation stage, the link between remuneration, Group 
performance and shareholder wealth is sometimes 
tenuous. Share prices are subject to the influence of 
metals prices, market sentiment towards the sector and 
the global economy and as such increases or decreases 
may occur quite independent of executive performance 
or remuneration. 

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, 
the structure of non-executive director and executive 
director remuneration is separate.

Non-executive directors remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect 
the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-
executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed 
periodically by the Board. The chairman’s fees are 
determined independently to the fees of other non-
executive directors based on comparative roles in the 
external market. The chairman is not present at any 
discussions relating to the determination of his own 
remuneration. Non-executive directors do not receive 
any performance-based pay.

ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive 
directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by 
a general meeting. The most recent determination was 
at the Annual General Meeting held on 5 August 2010, 
where the shareholders approved a maximum annual 
aggregate remuneration of $350,000. 

Retirement allowances for non-executive 
directors

In line with guidance from the ASX Corporate 
Governance Council on non-executive director’s 
remuneration, no retirement allowances are 
provided for non-executive directors. Superannuation 
contributions required under the Australian 
superannuation guarantee legislation continue to be 
made as required and are deducted from the directors’ 
overall fee entitlements. 

Directors’ Report 30 June 2020

Executive remuneration

The objective of the Group’s executive reward 
framework is to ensure reward for performance is 
competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. 
The framework aligns executive reward with 
achievement of strategic objectives and the creation 
of value for shareholders, and conforms to market 
practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that 
executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for 
good reward governance practices:
•    acceptability to shareholders;
•    performance linkage/alignment of executive 

compensation;
•    transparency; and
•    capital management.
The Group has structured an executive remuneration 
framework that is market competitive and 
complementary to the reward strategy of the 
organisation.

Alignment to shareholders’ interests:
•    has economic profit as a core component of plan 

design;

•    focuses on sustained growth in shareholder wealth;
•    delivering constant return on assets as well as 

focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of 
value; and

•    attracts and retains high calibre executives.
Alignment to program participants’ interests:
•    rewards capability and experience;
•    reflects competitive reward for contribution to 

growth in shareholder wealth;

•    provides a clear structure for earning rewards;
•    provides recognition for contribution; and
•    competitiveness and reasonableness.

The framework provides a mix of fixed and long-
term incentives. 

The Board carried out the functions of the 
Remuneration and Nominations Committees 
and is responsible for reviewing and negotiating 
compensation arrangements of senior executives. It 
assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount 
of remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by 
relevant employment market conditions with the overall 
objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit 
from the retention of a high quality board and executive 
team. The board manages remuneration and incentive 
policies and practices and remuneration packages and 
other terms of employment for executive directors, 
other senior executives and non-executive directors.

The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies 
the following key criteria for good reward governance 
practices:
•    base pay and benefits, including superannuation;
•    short-term performance incentives through a cash 
bonus may be determined by the Board; and
•    long-term incentives through the issue of share 

options and performance rights. 

The combination of these comprises the executive’s 
total remuneration.

Base pay and benefits

Base pay and benefits are structured as a total 
employment cost package which may be delivered as 
a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial 
benefits, at the executive’s discretion and subject to 
board approval. 

Executives are offered a competitive base pay that 
comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards 
to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market for a 
comparable role. Base pay for executives is reviewed 
periodically to ensure the executive’s pay is competitive 
with the market. 

There is no guaranteed base pay increase included in 
any of the executives’ contracts. 

Consolidated entity performance and link to 
remuneration

Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked 
to the performance of the Group. A portion of any cash 
bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of 
the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Refer to 
the “additional information” section below for details of 
the earnings and total shareholders return for the last 
five years.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is of the 
opinion that the results can be attributed in part to the 
adoption of performance based compensation and is 
satisfied that this improvement will continue to increase 
shareholder wealth if maintained over the coming 
years.

November 2019 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’)

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 21 to the financial 
statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-
audit services during the financial year, by the auditor

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 21 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.

Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2020

  1.   Significant accounting policies

  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, 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 Group’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 2.

 The principal accounting policies adopted in the 
preparation of the financial statements are set 
out either in the respective notes or below. These 
policies have been consistently applied to all the 
years presented, unless otherwise stated.

 New or amended Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations adopted

 The Group 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.

 The following Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:

  AASB 16 Leases

 The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. 
The standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for 
lessees eliminates the classifications of operating 
leases and finance leases. The company has 
elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and 
corresponding lease liability for short-term leases 
with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-
value assets. Lease payments on these assets are 
expensed to profit or loss as incurred. 

 The application of this new standard has 
had no material impact on the disclosures or 
amounts recognised in the consolidated financial 
statements.

 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 Group for the 
annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. The 
Group has not yet assessed the impact of these 
new or amended Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020

  1.   Significant accounting policies continued

  Going concern

 The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare 
the consolidated financial report on a going 
concern basis, which contemplates realisation of 
assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal 
course of business. As disclosed in the financial 
report, the group has incurred a loss after tax 
for the year of $1,072,575 (2019: $1,321,558) 
and net operating cash outflow of $1,022,663 
(2019: $646,290). At 30 June 2020, the Group had 
net current assets of $1,743,872 (30 June 2019: 
$2,310,051).

 The consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a 
going concern is contingent on raising additional 
capital and/or the successful exploration and 
subsequent exploitation of its areas of interest 
through sale or development. The matters set 
out above indicate the existence of a material 
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about 
the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern 
and therefore the entity may be unable to realise 
its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal 
course of business. The financial statements 
do not include any adjustments that may be 
necessary if the consolidated entity is unable to 
continue as a going concern.

  Parent entity information

 In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
these financial statements present the results of 
the Group only. Supplementary information about 
the parent entity is disclosed in note 25.

  Principles of consolidation

 The consolidated financial statements incorporate 
the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of 
Renascor Resources Limited (‘Company’ or ‘parent 
entity’) as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all 
subsidiaries for the year then ended. Renascor 
Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together 
are referred to in these financial statements as 
the ‘Group’.

 Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the 
Group has control. The Group controls an entity 
when the Group 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 Group. 
They are de-consolidated from the date that 
control ceases.

 Intercompany transactions, balances and 
unrealised gains on transactions between 
entities in the Group 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 
Group.

 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 Group 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 Group 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.

  Revenue recognition

Income tax

  The Group recognises revenue as follows:

  Revenue from contracts with customers

 Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects 
the consideration to which the Group is expected 
to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods 
or services to a customer. For each contract with a 
customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a 
customer; identifies the performance obligations 
in the contract; determines the transaction price 
which takes into account estimates of variable 
consideration and the time value of money; 
allocates the transaction price to the separate 
performance obligations on the basis of the 
relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct 
good or service to be delivered; and recognises 
revenue when or as each performance obligation 
is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to 
the customer of the goods or services promised.

 Variable consideration within the transaction 
price, if any, reflects concessions provided to 
the customer such as discounts, rebates and 
refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from 
the customer and any other contingent events. 
Such estimates are determined using either the 
‘expected value’ or ‘most likely amount’ method. 
The measurement of variable consideration 
is subject to a constraining principle whereby 
revenue will only be recognised to the extent that 
it is highly probable that a significant reversal in 
the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will 
not occur. The measurement constraint continues 
until the uncertainty associated with the variable 
consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts 
received that are subject to the constraining 
principle are recognised as a refund liability.

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.

 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.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020

  1.   Significant accounting policies continued

 Renascor Resources Limited (the ‘head entity’) 
and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries 
have formed an income tax consolidated group 
under the tax consolidation regime. The head 
entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated 
group continue to account for their own current 
and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated 
group has applied the ‘separate taxpayer within 
group’ approach in determining the appropriate 
amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax 
consolidated group.

 In addition to its own current and deferred tax 
amounts, the head entity also recognises the 
current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred 
tax assets arising from unused tax losses and 
unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary 
in the tax consolidated group.

 Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding 
agreements with the tax consolidated entities 
are recognised as amounts receivable from or 
payable to other entities in the tax consolidated 
group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that 
the intercompany charge equals the current tax 
liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group 
member, resulting in neither a contribution by the 
head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution 
by the subsidiaries to the head entity.

  R & D Tax Incentives

 R&D tax incentives are considered more akin 
to government grants because they are not 
conditional upon earning taxable income and 
the group accounts for any R&D Tax incentives 
received as government grants under AASB 120 
Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure 
of Government Assistance.

  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 Group’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 Group’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.

Impairment of non-financial assets

 Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment 
whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount may not be 
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for 
the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount.

 Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair 
value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The 
value-in-use is the present value of the estimated 
future cash flows relating to the asset using a 
pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets 
that do not have independent cash flows are 
grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

 Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other 
similar taxes

 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.

  Provisions

  Share-based payment transactions

 Provisions for legal claims are recognised when: 
the Group has a present legal or constructive 
obligation as a result of past events; it is more 
likely than not that an outflow of resources will be 
required to settle the obligation; and the amount 
has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not 
recognised for future operating losses.

 Where there are a number of similar obligations, 
the likelihood that an outflow will be required 
in settlement is determined by considering the 
class of obligations as a whole. A provision is 
recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow 
with respect to any one item included in the same 
class of obligations may be small.

 The Group has obligations to restore and 
rehabilitate certain areas where drilling has 
occurred on exploration tenements. These 
obligations are currently being met as the drilling 
is completed and as such no provision has been 
recognised.

  2.  

 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.

 The Group measures the cost of equity-settled 
transactions with employees by reference to 
the fair value of the equity instruments at the 
date at which they are granted. The fair value 
is determined by using either the Binomial or 
Black-Scholes model taking into account the 
terms and conditions upon which the instruments 
were granted. The accounting estimates and 
assumptions relating to equity-settled share-
based payments would have no impact on the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within 
the next annual reporting period but may impact 
profit or loss and equity. Details of share based 
payment transactions are presented in Note 30.

  Exploration and evaluation costs

 Exploration and evaluation costs have been 
capitalised on the basis that the Group will 
commence commercial production in the future, 
from which time the costs will be amortised 
in proportion to the depletion of the mineral 
resources. Key judgements are applied in 
considering costs to be capitalised which includes 
determining expenditures directly related to these 
activities and allocating overheads between those 
that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, 
costs are only capitalised that are expected 
to be recovered either through successful 
development or sale of the relevant mining 
interest. Factors that could impact the future 
commercial production at the mine include the 
level of reserves and resources, future technology 
changes, which could impact the cost of mining, 
future legal changes and changes in commodity 
prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are 
determined not to be recoverable in the future, 
they will be written off in the period in which 
this determination is made. Details of capitalised 
exploration and evaluation costs are presented in 
Note 11.

  3.   Operating segments

 The Group has identified its operating segments 
based on the internal reports that reviewed and 
used by the Managing Director (Chief Operating 
Decision Maker ‘CODM’) and the board of 
directors in assessing performance determining 
the allocation of resources. The Group is 
managed primarily on a geographic basis, that 
is, the location of the respective areas of interest 
(tenements) in Australia. Operating segments are 
determined on the basis of financial information 
reported to the board which is at the consolidated 
level. The Group does not have any products or 
services it derives revenue from.

 Accordingly, management currently identifies the 
Group as having only one reportable segment, 
being the development of the Siviour Graphite 
Project and the exploration for graphite, copper, 
gold, uranium and other minerals in Australia. 
There have been no changes in the operating 
segments during the year. Accordingly, all 
significant operating decisions are based upon 
analysis of the Group as one segment. The 
financial results from this segment are equivalent 
to the financial statements of the Group as a 
whole. 

  Accounting policy for 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 CODM. The CODM 
is responsible for the allocation of resources 
to operating segments and assessing their 
performance.

 The Group has tax losses arising in Australia of $22,840,659 (2019: $19,996,118) that may be available and 
may be offset against future taxable profits. In addition, these tax losses can only be utilised in the future if 
the continuity of ownership test is passed, or if failing that, the same business test is passed. 

 The Group had nil franking credits in its franking account at 30 June 2020 (2019: Nil).

 No deferred tax liability has been recognised for expenditure pertaining to exploration and evaluation. The 
amount of $4,547,640 is fully offset by the company’s deferred tax assets (2019: $3,195,869). 

 No deferred tax asset has been recognised because it is not likely future assessable income is derived of a 
nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised.

  Accounting policy for 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 allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally 
due for settlement within 30 days.

 The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime 
expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based 
on days overdue.

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

  Accounting policy for 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.

 The cost of an item of plant and equipment also includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and 
removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.  

 Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as 
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the 
Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted 
for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to 
profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

 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 

3-10 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 Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are 
taken to profit or loss.

  Accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets

 Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure 
are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the 
expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, 
or by its sale, or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which 
permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a 
project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year 
in which the decision is made.

 Exploration and evaluation expenditure comprises of net direct costs and includes an appropriate portion 
of related salaries & wages expenditure associated with each area of interest. During the financial year the 
Group has allocated $229,460 of internal personnel costs (2019: $352,266) which form part of the exploration 
expenditure for the year. 

 # Note: Refundable tax incentives (Research and development tax concession) are accounted for as government grants under  
AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance and offset against capitalised exploration 
and evaluation expenditure.

Graphite Project. The DFS confirms Siviour’s potential as a low cost, long life graphite project. The asset has 
been reclassified as a development asset to appropriately reflect the likelihood of future development.

12.   Development asset continued

  Assessing impairment on reclassification

 The development asset had been assessed for impairment on reclassification from exploration and 
evaluation expenditure. In determining the recoverable amount of the asset, estimates were made regarding 
the present value of future cashflows. These estimates require significant management judgments and 
assumptions and are subject to risk and uncertainty that may be beyond the control of the Group. The 
recoverable amount estimate is most sensitive to assumptions regarding the long-term forecasts of 
production capacity, graphite prices and discount rates. 

 The Company has considered market conditions and changes to these estimates and is satisfied that there is 
no impairment to the carrying value of the development asset.

  The main estimates and assumptions used are as follows:

   •    Production: the model is based on staged development with average production of 80ktpa during the first 

4 years, before expansion to 144ktpa in years 5 to 10. 

   •    Graphite prices: prices are based on the latest internal forecasts taking into account expected demand and 

supply, benchmarked with external sources of information.

   •    Discount rate: a discount rate 10% has been used for financial modelling. 

  Accounting policy for development asset

 Expenditure is transferred from ‘Exploration and evaluation assets’ to ‘Development asset’ once the work 
completed to date supports the future development of the property and such development receives 
appropriate approvals.  

 After transfer of the exploration and evaluation assets, all subsequent expenditure on the construction, 
installation or completion of infrastructure facilities is capitalised in ‘development asset’. Development 
expenditure is net of proceeds from the sale of ore extracted during the development phase to the extent 
that it is considered integral to the development of the asset. 

 Any costs incurred in the testing of assets to determine if they are functioning as intended, are capitalised, 
net of any proceeds received from selling any product produced while testing. Where these proceeds exceed 
the cost of testing, any excess is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income. 

  After production starts, all assets included in “Development asset’ are then transferred to ‘Producing mine’.

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. 

  Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months

 The current provision for employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have 
completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments 
in certain circumstances. The entire amount is presented as current, since the Group does not have an 
unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the Group does not expect all 
employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

Issued capital continued

  Capital risk management

 The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so 
that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum 
capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

 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.

 In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

 The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as 
value adding relative to the current Company’s share price at the time of the investment. The Group is not 
actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing 
businesses in order to maximise synergies.

 The Group is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all 
capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements 
during the financial year.

 The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2019 Annual Report.

  Accounting policy for 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.

19.   Financial instruments

  Financial risk management objectives

 The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk and interest 
rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’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 Group. The board is responsible for managing the Group’s finance facilities. The Group 
does not currently undertake hedging of any kind and is not directly exposed to currency risk.

  The Group holds the following financial instruments:

Financial assets at amortised cost

  Cash and cash equivalents 

  Other receivables 

Total financial assets 

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Trade and other payables 

Sundry creditors & accrued expenses 

Total financial liabilities at amortised cost

  The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk
 As at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019, the Group had no borrowings. As such the group is not exposed to any 
significant interest rate risk. 

 At the reporting date, the Company is exposed to changes in market interest rates through its bank deposits, 
which are subject to variable interest rates. 

 The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the net result for the year and equity to a reasonably possible 
change in interest rates of +0.5% and -0.5% (2019: +0.5%/-0.5%), with effect from the beginning of the year. 
These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. 
The calculations are based on the cash and cash equivalents held at the beginning of each reporting period. 
All other variables are held constant.

  Credit risk

 Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with 
banks and financial institutions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a 
minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted. The majority of cash and cash equivalents is held with a single financial 
institution. 

 Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial 
loss to the Group. The Group does not hold any collateral to mitigate this risk.

 The Group 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 Group based on recent sales 
experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.

 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.

 The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to 
external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates:

 Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the 
availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when 
due and close out market positions. At the end of each reporting period the Group held deposits at call of 
$1,855,784 (2019: $2,877,843) that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. 
The Group has sufficient funds to finance its operations and exploration activities and to allow for reasonable 
contingencies.

 On 1 July 2020 the company announced the results of a study assessing an integrated battery anode material 
operation in South Australia to produce Purified Spherical Graphite (“PSG”) for lithium-ion battery anodes.  
The study confirms that the integration of a PSG processing operation with Siviour creates significant added 
value and aligns the company with end-users of PSG seeking supply chain security through the world’s first 
integrated, in-country mine and battery anode material operation outside of China. 

 On 14 July 2020 the company announced the results of independent purification tests that confirmed that 
Siviour is able to produce PSG through the more environmentally-friendly caustic roast purification method. 

 On 21 July 2020 an updated Mineral Ore Reserve estimate was announced confirming Siviour as the largest 
reported total Ore Reserve outside of Africa, and the second largest reported proven reserve of graphite 
in the world. This estimate provides additional confidence in the size and quality of the Siviour deposit as a 
consistent source of high-quality graphite supporting a mine life of over 40 years.

  On 4 August 2020 the Company announced high-grade, shallow gold drill intercepts at the Carnding Project in 
South Australia’s Central Gawler Craton. The results include over 16 g/t Au at the Soyuz prospect.

 On 10 August 2020 the Company announced an expansion to the Carding Project, with the approval of an 
exploration licence application over an area immediately north of the Soyuz prospect.

 On 12 August 2020 independent qualification tests undertaken by a German graphite specialist confirmed 
that Siviour PSG meets product specifications required for integration of PSG into lithium-ion battery anodes.

 On 28 August 2020 an induced polarization survey confirmed multiple untested, shallow gold targets along-
strike from the company’s Soyuz (Carnding) prospect in South Australia’s Gawler Craton.

 On 18 September 2020 the company announced that it has received firm commitments from professional 
and sophisticated investors to raise approximately $3.6 million (before expenses) at 1.1cents per share with 
one attaching option for every two shares issued. The funds raised will be used to advance the Siviour Project 
and Carnding Gold Project.  

 No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may 
significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in 
future financial years.

 Options and performance rights are considered anti-dilutive as the Group is loss making. At 30 June 2020 
there were no anti-dilutive options (2019: 129,761,096) and 12,000,000 performance rights (2019: 18,000,000).

  Accounting policy for earnings per share

  Basic earnings per share

 Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Renascor Resources 
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.

  Performance rights granted to directors and senior management

 At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 3 September 2018 Shareholders of the Company granted 
approval for the issue of performance rights to Mr David Christensen. Details of the performance rights are 
in the Notice of Extra Ordinary General Meeting dated 1 August 2018. However the vesting conditions are 
outlined below:

 Tranche A Performance Rights. 6,000,000 Performance Rights will vest upon the completion of a positive 
Definite Feasibility Study in respect of the production of graphite concentrates.

 Tranche B Performance Rights. 6,000,000 Performance Rights will vest upon the commencement of 
construction of a commercial graphite concentrate production facility 

 Tranche C Performance Rights. 6,000,000 Performance Rights will vest upon (i) the share price of Renascor 
ordinary shares having achieved a closing price of in excess of $0.055 for five consecutive days after the issue 
date of such Performance Rights, and (ii) the date that is two and one-half years after the issue date of such 
Performance Rights.

 The Performance Rights are expensed over the expected vesting period. The total value of Performance 
Rights recognised in the current period is $70,259 (2019: $177,675). 

  The performance rights were valued as outlined below:

 The tranches were valued using the Black Scholes pricing model that takes into account the term of the 
Performance Rights, the vesting and performance criteria (if applicable), the non-tradable nature of the rights 
(if applicable), the share price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected 
dividend yield, the probability that the Performance Rights will issue and the risk free interest rate for the 
term of the Performance Right. 

 The probability that the Tranche C rights will vest (38%) was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation. 
This model takes into account the randomness of the share price movements and the volatility of the 
underlying share.

 The weighted average remaining contractual life of performance rights outstanding at the end of the financial 
year was 2.4 years (2019: 3.4 years).

 Fair value of performance rights granted:
 The assessed fair value at grant date of performance rights is allotted equally over the period from grant date 
to vesting date. The fair value was independently determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model. 
that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria (if 
applicable), the impact of dilution, the non-tradable nature of the option (if applicable), the share price at 
grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free 
interest rate for the term of the option.

 Historical volatility of a group of comparable companies has been the basis of determining expected share 
price volatility, as it is assumed that this is indicative of future movements. No adjustment has been made 
to the life of the option based on no past history regarding expected exercise or any variation of the expiry 
date. Accordingly, the expected life of the options has been taken to the full period of time from grant date to 
expiry date, which may fail to eventuate in the future. 

  The valuation model input also assumes no dividend yield on the Performance Shares.

30.   Share-based payments continued

  Accounting policy for share-based payments

 Share-based compensation benefits are provided to directors, executives and consultants through the 
granting of share options and performance rights.  

 Options and performance rights are granted for no cash consideration. When these share options and 
performance rights are granted, the fair value of the options and performance rights issued are recognised 
as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity.  The amount recognised as an 
expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options and performance rights for which the related 
service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately 
recognised as an expense is based on the number of share options and performance rights that meet the 
related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

 The fair value of share options and performance rights are measured using an appropriate pricing model. 
Measurement inputs include the share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, 
expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for 
the term of the option and performance rights. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to 
the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.

 Upon the exercise of options and performance rights, the balance of the share-based payments reserve 
relating to those options and performance rights is transferred to share capital.

 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 Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition 
is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF RENASCOR RESOURCES LIMITED 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of Renascor Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries 
(the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, 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 report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ 
declaration. 

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(i) 

(ii) 

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its 
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and  

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 Group in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) 
that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.  We have 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 Company, 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  

We draw attention to Note 1 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 group’s 
ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group 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.  

BDO Audit (SA) Pty Ltd ABN 33 161 379 086 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO (Australia) Ltd  
ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (SA) Pty Ltd and BDO (Australia) Ltd are members of BDO International

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Renascor Resources Limited

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. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty 
related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit 
matters to be communicated in our report. 

Impairment assessment on reclassification of Siviour development assets 

Key audit matter  

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

As disclosed in Note 12, costs in relation to the Siviour 

Our audit procedures, amongst others, included: 

project were reclassified from exploration and evaluation 

assets to development assets during the financial year as 

technical feasibility and commercial viability were 

demonstrable. 

  Evaluation of the accuracy of management’s 
calculation of the net present value of the 

Siviour Project over its expected life. 
  Carrying out a sensitivity analysis over key 

Under AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral 

inputs used to calculate the net present value 

Resources when an exploration and evaluation asset is 

of the Siviour Project 

reclassified in these circumstances, the asset shall be 

  Critically assessing the assumptions used 

assessed for impairment 

within the net present value calculation for 

appropriateness. 

The impairment assessment is a key audit matter due to the 

size of the recorded asset, $13,266,737 at reclassification 

and the degree of estimate and assumptions required to be 

made by the Group, specifically concerning future 

discounted cash flows. Note 12 discloses the assumptions 

used by the Group in testing these assets for impairment 

Other information  

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the 
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the 
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Renascor Resources Limited

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 group 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 Group 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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
