Rey Resources Annual Report 2019 
 
 
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Dear fellow Shareholder,

It  is  my  pleasure  to  deliver  Rey  Resources’  Annual  Report  for  the  year  ending  30  June 
2019, a year in which our key focus remained on maximising the value of our coal project 
and oil and gas exploration business in the Canning Basin in Western Australia.

During  the  year  ended  30  June  2019,  we  executed  two  farmout  agreements  with 
Doriemus Plc regarding EP487 and the L15 petroleum production licence, situated to the 
north of EP487, to potentially provide Rey an opportunity to achieve production in the 
short term. While the Doriemus farmin on EP487 was terminated in August 2019, Rey is in 
positive discussions with other significant investors to undertake the development work on 
EP487. The L15 farmout continues and was not affected by the above. We look forward 
to progressing these opportunities into 2020.

During the year, the Company entered into a cooperation framework agreement with 
Yuanrun Investment Ltd for the sale of 100% of the shares in Blackfin Pty Ltd, which holds 
the Company’s Duchess Paradise Coal Project, for a total consideration of A$24 million. 
However, in November 2018 Yuanrun and Rey both agreed to terminate the transaction. 
Rey is currently discussing with other significant investors possible funding solutions for the 
Project.

I  would  like  to  thank  all  Shareholders  for  their  support  and  understand,  and  welcome 
those who joined during the year. I also thank our staff and management team for their 
work over the past year and I look forward to the next exciting year.

Min Yang
Non-Executive Chairman

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK

OIL & GAS

1.Canning Basin – the Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 and EP458)

1.1 Background
Equity interests in the Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 and EP458) are currently:

Rey (Rey Oil & Gas Pty Ltd)

Buru

40%

60%

(Operator)

Rey  holds  a  total  40%  participating  interest  in  the  two  blocks,  but  only  has  a  33.336% 
funding  obligation  until  commercial  production.  This  is  due  to  a  Funding  Agreement 
whereby Buru Energy Ltd free carries 6.664% of Rey's 40% participating interest.

The Fitzroy Blocks (comprising a combined area in excess of 5,000 kilometres2) are located 
over  parts  of  the  southern  flank  of  the  Fitzroy  Graben.  The  Fitzroy  Blocks  straddle  three 
major trends:

• 
• 

• 

the Ungani conventional oil trend (“Ungani Trend”);
the Laurel Basin-Centred Gas Accumulation, conventional and unconventional gas; 
and
the Goldwyer oil and gas unconventional shale.

The Ungani Trend includes identified leads and prospects in an area of prospectivity of 
at least 120 kilometres by 40 kilometres (over one million acres or 4,800 kilometre2). This 
extends diagonally, north-west to south-east, across the Fitzroy Blocks. The conventional 
dolomite reservoir oil discovery by Buru in 2011 at Ungani (located 15 kilometres north-
west  of  EP457)  on  the  trend  running  through  the  Fitzroy  Blocks  is  a  significant  regional 
discovery event. Commercial production was established by Buru at Ungani in mid-2015.

Although Prospective (recoverable) Resources of the Laurel Formation within the Fitzroy 
Blocks have not been assessed by drilling to date, the formation extends across part of 
the Fitzroy Blocks. A wet gas accumulation has been identified immediately east of the 
Fitzroy Blocks which has the characteristics of a Basin-Centred Gas Accumulation.

The Goldwyer Shale Formation is characterised as a thick, regionally extensive organic 
rich “Bakken” shale analogue. The play type is regarded as highly prospective and clearly 
extends  across  part  of  the  Fitzroy  Blocks,  although  is  believed  to  be  at  considerable 
depth.

1.2 Work program during the year
An  independent  scientific  inquiry  into  the  hydraulic  fracturing  (fracking)  process  was 
completed  and  the  report  from  the  panel  was  delivered  to  the  Western  Australian  
Government  ("Government")  in  September  2018.    However,  the  Government  is  still 

5

Rey Resources Annual Report 2019 
 
 
considering  the  potential  imposition  of  new  and  additional  regulations.    In  light  of  the 
uncertainty  of  the  outcome  of  these  deliberations,  applications  for  further  12  month 
suspensions  to  the  commencement  of  Year  1  and  12  month  extensions  to  the  permit 
terms of EP 457 and EP 458 were lodged with the regulator (DMIRS) on 7 January 2019 
(STP-EPS-0299 and STP-EPS-0300 respectively).  These applications were approved on 16 
January  2019  and  the  requirement  to  complete  the  acquisition  of  a  magneto-telluric 
geophysical  survey  in  each  permit  to  fulfil  the  Year  1  work  program  obligation  has 
therefore been deferred until March 2021.

During  the  year,  the  Government  continued  to  consider  the  final  report  from  the 
independent scientific inquiry into the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) process.   The final 
report was delivered to the Government on 12 September 2018 (just over one year after 
the inquiry panel was established on 5 September 2017) and included 91 findings and 44 
recommendations.

The Government announced on 8 July 2019 that it had approved an Implementation Plan 
(the Plan) following its consideration of the final report from the independent scientific 
inquiry panel.  The Government also announced that a steering group made up of senior 
officials from key Government agencies developed the Plan and had been tasked with 
overseeing  the  implementation  of  the  actions  resulting  from  the  Government’s  policy 
decisions relating to the findings and recommendations of the report.  The Government 
has also stated its intention to implement the recommendations and policy decisions by 
the end of 2020.

During  the  year,  a  trial  2D  seismic  reprocessing  program  was  completed  and  resulted 
in  marked  improvement  in  the  quality  of  the  sub-surface  image.    Technical  work  was 
also conducted and a number of anomalous gravity and seismic features that may be 
interpreted as isolated Late Devonian carbonate build-ups have been identified.  These 
activities  provide  sufficient  encouragement  for  a  larger  seismic  reprocessing  program 
potentially involving up to several hundred line kilometres of vintage 2D data across both 
EP  457  and  EP  458  and  this  remains  under  consideration.    The  possible  acquisition  of  a 
new 2D seismic survey may also be considered.

2.Canning Basin - the Derby Block (EP487)

2.1 Background

The Derby Block (EP487) is a large petroleum exploration permit of approximately 5,000 
kilometre2.  It  occurs  to  the  north-west  of  Rey’s  interests  in  the  Fitzroy  Blocks.  The  Derby 
Block is considered to be predominantly a Wet Laurel Basin Centred Gas play (“BCG”) 
which  is  regionally  extensive  throughout  the  Canning  Basin  and  has  been  the  subject 
of  exploration  in  the  Canning  Basin  by  other  parties  in  2015,  resulting  in  encouraging 
flow tests by Buru Energy at Valhalla and Asgard (please refer various BRU ASX releases 
including releases dated 20 January 2016 and 18 April 2016).

2.2 Work program during the year
On  20  March  2018,  Rey  was  granted  a  suspension  and  extension  of  the  current  year 
commitments for EP487. The one well commitment has been deferred by 12 months to 
the end of 2019. 

On  31  December  2018,  Rey  entered  into  a  binding  letter  of  intent  (Agreement)  with 
Doriemus  PLC  ("Doriemus")  (ASX:  DOR)  pursuant  to  which  Doriemus,  subject  to  the 
completion  of  due  diligence  and  fulfilling  certain  conditions  precedent,    agreed  to 
farmin  to  EP487.  On  28  March  2019,  Rey  announced  that  definitive  documentation 
(subject to the usual Government approvals), including a binding Farmout Agreement 
which comprises an agreed form Joint Operating Agreement (Agreements) had been 
executed with Doriemus  for EP487. Pursuant to the Agreements, Doriemus was to drill the 
commitment well on EP487 at its own cost, in an endeavour to confirm the Butler Prospect 
potential.  Subsequently,  Doriemus  failed  to  raise  sufficient  funds  by  end  of  June  2019 
(which was extended to 31 July 2019) to undertake the farmin work on EP487 and Rey 
announced that it had terminated the Agreements on 5 August 2019.

On  20  May  2019,  Rey  sent  a  letter  to  the  Government  regarding  the  potential  partial 
surrender  of    a  number  of  blocks  in  EP487  and  applied  to  vary  the  work  programs  for 
the  remaining  permit  years,  in  consideration  for  the  Government’s  ban  on  fracture 
stimulation.    On  9  August  2019,  the  Government  suggested  Rey  maintain  all  blocks 
in  EP487  and  agreed  to  remove  the  drilling  depth  and  core  conditions  for  the  year  2 
commitment  well  and  to  provide  an  exemption  for  the  2  well  drilling  requirements  in 
permit year 3.

2.3 Prospective Resources

On  11  April  2019,  Doriemus  and  Buru  Energy  Limited  (Buru)  jointly  announced  that  an 
independent review of the prospective gas and liquids Resources of the Butler prospect, 
which  straddles  EP487  and  EP129  (100%  Buru),  was  undertaken  by  ERC  Equipoise  Pte 
Ltd  who  had  confirmed  the  view  that  the  Butler  prospect  has  the  potential  to  host  a  
significant gas and liquids accumulation. (See Doriemus and Buru joint announcement, 
as cross released on Rey’s ASX platform on 11 April 2019, for full details.) Rey engaged 
3D  Geo  to  review  the  prospective  Resources  for  EP487  as  part  of  its  annual  review  of 
Reserves and Resources, with the results detailed on page 11 of this Annual Report.

3.Lennard Shelf Blocks – EP104, R1 and L15

3.1 Background
Rey holds a 100% interest in the Lennard Shelf Blocks, comprising EP104, a Retention Lease 
(R1)  and  one  Production  Licence  (L15).  The  Lennard  Shelf  Blocks  are  situated  to  the 

7

Rey Resources Annual Report 2019 
 
 
north of Rey’s existing interests in the Canning Basin petroleum exploration licence, EP487 
covering  a  total  area  of  approximately  1,145  km2  and  are  considered  prospective  for 
conventional oil and tight gas.

3.2  Work Program during the year
On 31 December 2018, Rey entered into a binding letter of intent with Doriemus pursuant 
to  which  Doriemus,  subject  to  the  completion  of  due  diligence  and  fulfilling  certain 
conditions precedent, agreed to farmin to Production Licence 15 (L15). 

On  5  March  2019,  Rey  announced  that  it  had  entered  into  definitive  documentation 
(subject  only  to  the  usual  Government  approvals),  including  a  binding  Farmout 
Agreement which comprises an agreed form Joint Operating Agreement (Agreements) 
with  Doriemus  for  L15.  Pursuant  to  the  Agreements,  Doriemus  is  to  fund  A$1  million  in 
development  work  on  L15,  in  an  endeavour  to  bring  the  West  Kora  1  well  (which  is 
located within L15) into economic production.

Subject  to  Doriemus  funding  the  $1  million  field  development  plan  over  the  next  12 
months, Doriemus will be assigned 50% of the L15 permit. On completion, and subject to 
obtaining government approvals, Doriemus will be appointed the Operator for L15. 

As requested by the Traditional Owners, Rey scheduled the heritage survey in July 2019 for 
the coming geochemical survey in R1 and well inspection work in L15.  A draft heritage 
protection agreement has also been received and reviewed by Rey. On 11 July 2019, the 
heritage survey was completed and the final heritage clearance report was received on 
24 July 2019. The well inspection and West Kora Tank Farm clean work, required by the 
Government, is still ongoing as at the date of this report.

On  20  May  2019,  Rey  sent  a  letter  to  the  Government  regarding  the  potential  partial 
surrender  of  several  blocks  in  EP104  and  applied  to  vary  the  work  programs  for  the 
remaining permit years in consideration for the Government’s ban on fracture stimulation.  
On  9  August  2019,  the  Government  suggested  Rey  maintain  all  blocks  in  EP104  and 
agreed to remove the current geochemical survey requirements and drilling requirements 
in permit year 3 and year 5. 

3.3  Prospective Resources

L15 is a production licence with production history in the West Kora oilfield. An estimation 
of oil Reserves and contingent oil Resources for the West Kora oilfield and Point Torment 
gas  discovery  in  R1  was  announced  to  ASX  by  Key  Petroleum  Limited  (ASX:KEY)  on  30 
September 2015.

On  9  May  2019,  Doriemus  announced  the  results  of  an  independent  Resources  review 
for L15, which confirmed the prospectivity of L15 (See Doriemus announcement, as cross 
released  on  Rey’s  ASX  platform  on  9  May  2019,  for  full  details).  Rey  engaged  3D  Geo 
to review the prospective Resources for L15 as part of its annual review of Reserves and 
Resources, with the results detailed on page 12 of this Annual Report.

COAL

The  Duchess  Paradise  Coal  Project  (“Duchess  Paradise  Coal  Project”)  is  a  proposed 
bituminous  thermal  coal  operation  in  the  Canning  Basin,  north  Western  Australia.    A 
Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) of the Project was completed in June 2011.

On  17  July  2018,  the  Company  entered  into  a  cooperation  framework  agreement 
with Yuanrun Investment Ltd for the sale of 100% of the shares in Blackfin Pty Ltd, which 
holds the Duchess Paradise Coal Project for a total consideration of A$24 million. Rey’s 
Shareholders approved the transaction on 13 September 2018. On 23 November 2018, 
the cooperation framework agreement was terminated by Rey due to non-payment of 
the deposit of A$2 million. The Company continues to investigate potential opportunities 
for the Project to maximise shareholder value.

Following an internal review of its previously reported Ore Reserves in 2017, the Company 
considered  that  a  review  of  the  DFS  was  warranted  given  that  the  initial  DFS  was 
undertaken six years ago. Consequently, on 20 September 2017 the Company withdrew 
its Ore Reserves pending the outcome of this review and decided to update the DFS. Rey 
has fully reviewed the proposed work program for DFS phase 2 update prepared by LDO 
during the June 2019 quarter and is consulting with mining services contractor for further 
comments.

During  the  reporting  period,  Rey  continued  to  progress  an  Access  Deed  with  the  only 
objector,  Hancock  Prospecting,  for  a  Mining  Licence  Application.  After  multi  rounds 
discussion, the Access Deed is close to being finalised. 

CORPORATE

As  at  30  June  2019,  Rey  had  a  loan  facility  for  $3,800,000  with  ASF  Group  Limited  (ASF 
Loan  Facility),  a $500,000 outstanding loan from Wanyan Liu, a substantial shareholder 
in the Company (Liu Loan #1) and, as announced on 18 April 2019, a second loan from 
with Wanyan Liu for $3,000,000 (Liu Loan #2). The Liu Loan #2 was used to repay $2,500,000 
of the ASF Loan Facility (which remains available for re-draw pursuant to the terms of the 
ASF Loan Facility) and to provide general working capital.

As at 30 June 2019, the Company had fully drawn down the Liu Loans #1 and #2 and 
had $2.35 million remaining for draw down from the ASF Loan Facility.

As  announced  on  17  July  2019,  the  Company  entered  into  a  third  loan  agreement 
with Wanyan Liu, pursuant to which a further loan facility of up to $3,000,000 has been 
provided to the Company ("Liu Loan #3"). Liu Loan #3 has and will be used to repay the 
balance of the ASF Loan Facility and support future working capital needs.

For  further  information  on  the  above  summary  of  Coal  Mineral  Resources  estimates, 
please refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 28 October 2014. 

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Comparison

The Company reviews its coal Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves at least annually in 
accordance  with  ASX  Listing  Rule  5.21.    The  date  of  reporting  is  30  June  each  year  to 
coincide  with  the  release  of  the  Company’s  Annual  Report.    If  there  are  any  material 
changes to its coal Mineral Resources and/or Ore Reserves over the course of the year, 
the Company is required to promptly report these changes as they occur.

Rey has undertaken an annual review of its coal Mineral Resources for the year ended 
30  June  2019,  which  was  conducted  by  independent  consultant  ROM  Resources.  The 
historical factors were examined and found not to have materially changed the estimate 
for  the  Mineral  Resources  of  Duchess  Paradise  P1-seam  from  the  time  they  were  first 
reported to ASX on 28 October 2014 (at which time the Mineral Resources were updated 
in  accordance  with  JORC  2012  and  found  not  to  have  materially  changed  since 
reported in accordance with JORC 2004 on 6 April 2011 and 6 June 2011 respectively). 
There has been no additional exploration or drilling undertaken at the Duchess Paradise 
Coal  Project  during  the  review  period.  Further,  as  the  Duchess  Paradise  Coal  Project 
has  not  commenced  active  operation,  no  resource  depletion  has  occurred  for  the 
review  period.    The  review  indicated  that  the  Mineral  Resource  defined  in  the  ASX 
announcement on 28 October 2014 remains consistent to the date of this Annual Report, 
with an estimated total of 305.8 million tonnes in place.

As  announced  on  20  September  2017,  the  Company  withdrew  its  Ore  Reserves  for 
the Duchess Paradise P1-seam, as first reported in 2011. During the year the Company 
continued  to  progress  a  review  with  a  focus  on  updating  the  economic  and  financial

model, which is expected to result in an increased Ore Reserve in comparison to the 2011 
DFS. Other factors that may also require revision include transportation pathways. As a 
result, the Company is not in a position to report the outcome of its annual review of Ore 
Reserves in this Annual Report.  

Oil and Gas Resources and Reserves

The Company reviews its oil and gas Reserves and Contingent Resources at least annually 
in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.39 and 5.40.  The date of reporting is 30 June each 
year to coincide with the release of its Annual Report.  If there are any material changes 
to  its  oil  and  gas  Reserves  and  Contingent  Resources  over  the  course  of  the  year,  the 
Company is required to promptly report these changes as they occur. 

EP487 (Derby Block)

An estimate of the gross Prospective Potential Recoverable Resource estimate (Tcf gas 
recoverable)  of  the  BCG  play  in  the  Derby  Block  (onshore  portion)  was  provided  by 
independent  consultant  3D  Geo  in  June  2017.  The  Company’s  100%  interest  in  these 
Prospective  Potential  Recoverable  Resources  (unrisked,  probabilistic  estimate)  of  the

3D-GEO June 2017)

1.  Tcf- trillion cubic feet.
2.  MMbbl- million barrels.
3.  SPE PRMS (2011) - Society of Petroleum Engineers Petroleum Resource Management 

System (2011).

4.  MMBOE- million barrels oil equivalent. Calculated using ratio of 6.22 billion cubic feet 

of gas equivalent to 1 million barrels of crude oil. 

Prospective Resources are the estimated quantities of petroleum that may be potentially recovered by the application of 

a future development project and relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of 

discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence 

of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

Rey Resources Annual Report 2019 
 
 
On 5 May 2019, Doriemus released an announcement to ASX regarding an independent review it 

had commissioned on EP487, prepared by ERCE, which was cross released to Rey’s ASX platform. 

Rey subsequently appointed independent consultant 3D Geo to review and compare the results 
of  the  ERCE  review  to  the  one  initially  undertaken  by  3D  Geo  in  2017  (See  Table  4  below).  3D 

GEO  found  the  key  differences  to be in  the  Gross Rock  Volumes  (related  to  the  depth  to  base 

prospective gas with 3D-GEO using 5000mss and ERCE using 4250mss) and the Net to Gross Ratios 

used by 3D-GEO ranging from 5 to 24% instead of 2 to 7% used by ERCE and confirmed that in 

their  view,  their  estimate  from  2017  remained  appropriate.  Accordingly,  Rey  will  not  adopt  the 

Resources estimate provided by ERCE. 

L15

An estimation of Rey’s oil Reserves and contingent Resources for the West Kora Oilfield 
in L15 was provided by Energetica Consulting in September 2015 (refer to Key Petroleum 
Limited’s ASX releases dated 30 September 2015) and reviewed and released by Rey on 
14 May 2018. The estimation was based on the vintage wells in the permit and relevant 
studies. 

On 5 May 2019, Doriemus released to ASX the results of its own independent review of  
the contingent oil Resources and Reserves of West Kora, prepared by ERCE and cross-
released on Rey’s ASX platform. Rey subsequently appointed independent consultant 3D 
Geo to review and compare the ERCE and Energetica Consulting estimates. According 
to  the  suggestion  of  3D  GEO,  Rey  adopts  the  Reserves  results  provided  by  ERCE.    The 
updated Resources of R1 and Reserves of West Kora Oilfield in L15 are listed in Table 3 
and Table4 below:

Remuneration policy
The  successful  performance  of  the  Company  is  dependent  on  the  quality  and 
performance of Directors and executives, so the focus of the remuneration policy is to 
attract, retain and motivate highly competent people to these roles.

Four broad principles govern the remuneration strategy of the Company:

1.  To set demanding levels of performance for KMP and to align their remuneration with 

the achievement of clearly defined targets.

2.  To    provide    market    competitive    remuneration    and    conditions    in    the    current  

market  for  high  quality Directors and executives.

3.  To align remuneration with the creation of shareholder value and the achievement of 

Company strategy, objectives and performance.

4.  To  be  able  to  differentiate  reward  based  on  performance,  in  particular 

acknowledging the contribution of outstanding performers.

The Company seeks to provide fixed remuneration at the median level of the markets in 
which it competes for talent, and to provide the opportunity for a higher than median 
level of variable reward for those individuals who make an outstanding contribution to 
the success of the business.

The Board is responsible for matters relating to the remuneration of the Directors, senior 
executives  and  employees  of  the  Company,  including  making  recommendations  in 
relation to the remuneration framework of the Company and the fees and remuneration 
paid to Directors and executives.

The  Board  seeks  independent  remuneration  advice  from  time  to  time,  and  refers  to 
relevant market survey data for the purposes of external comparison. Further details have 
been included in section 6.5.

Hedging policy
The  Company’s  Securities  Trading  Policy  prohibits  all  Directors  and  employees  from  
entering into arrangements to protect the value of unvested Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) 
awards.  The  prohibition  includes  entering  into  contracts  to  hedge  their  exposure  to 
unvested share rights and options awarded as part of their remuneration package.

Executive remuneration components
Executive remuneration is structured so that it supports the key remuneration principles 
outlined  above,  and  is  intended  to  motivate  executives  towards  achievement  of  the 
annual objectives and longer term success of the Company. A Total Fixed Remuneration 
(“TFR”) is paid which considers external market comparisons and individual performance. 
Performance  linked  compensation  is  available  through  the  short  term  and  long  term 
incentive plans outlined below.

e
s
u

Fixed remuneration
Executives  receive  an  annualised  TFR  from  which  they  must  have  deducted  statutory 
superannuation. They may elect to salary sacrifice further superannuation contributions 
and  other  benefits  such  as  a  motor  vehicle.  Accommodation  assistance  and  medical 
insurance  may  be  provided  for  employees  from  overseas  or  interstate  where  it  is 
necessary to be able to attract key talent. A review of TFR is undertaken each year and 
reflects market movements and individual performance.

l

Short term incentive
The objective of the short term incentive (“STI”) plan is to align the achievement of the 
Company’s  annual  targets  with  the  performance  of  those  executives  who  have  key 
responsibility for achieving those targets.

Long term incentive
Executives  are  eligible  to  participate  in  the  Rey  Resources  Limited  Executive  Incentive 
Rights Plan (“EIRP”), which was first adopted by shareholders on 23 November 2011 and 
most  recently  re-approved  at  the  Company’s  2018  Annual  General  Meeting.  The  EIRP 
aligns the reward of the participants with the long term creation of shareholder value.

The  EIRP  enables  participants  to  be  granted  rights  to  acquire  shares  subject  to  the 
satisfaction of certain vesting conditions which will be determined by the Board from time 
to time. Subject to adjustments for any bonus issues of shares and capital reorganisations, 
one share will be issued on the exercise of each right which vests or becomes exercisable. 
No amount is payable by employees in respect of the grant or exercise of rights.

The  EIRP  has  been  designed  to  deliver  benefits  based  on  the  value  of  shares  when 
performance and service conditions are satisfied. The benefits may be provided in cash 
or a combination of cash and shares.

Relationship between Company performance and remuneration
The  objective  of  the  Company’s  remuneration  structure  is  to  reward  and  incentivise 
the  executives  so  as  to  ensure  alignment  with  the  interests  of  the  shareholders.  The 
remuneration structure also seeks to reward executives for their contribution in a manner 
that is appropriate for a company at this stage of its development. As outlined elsewhere

6.REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED (continued)

in this Report, the remuneration structure incorporates fixed, annual at risk and long term 
incentive components.

For shareholders, the key measure of value is Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”). Other than 
general market conditions, the key drivers of value for the Company and a summary of 
performance are provided in the table following.

At  this  stage  in  the  development  of  the  Company,  successful  execution  of  the  below 
drivers is the mechanism through which shareholder wealth will be created.

The only relevant financial measure at this point is the Rey share price for which the history 
is presented below. Absolute TSR performance is the basis for long term incentive awards 
under the EIRP.

7.PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of Rey Resources is exploring for and developing energy resources 
in  Western  Australia’s  Canning  Basin.  The  Company  holds  a  40%  interest  in  petroleum 
permits  EP457  &  458  in  joint  venture  with  Buru  Energy  Limited,  a  100%  interest  in  the 
Derby  Block  EP487  and  petroleum  exploration  permit  EP104,  retention  licence  R1  and 
production licence L15. Rey also holds a 100% interest in Duchess Paradise Coal Project.

8.RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

During  the  year,  Rey  Resources  continued  its  strategy  of  exploring  and  developing  
energy  resources  in Western Australia’s Canning Basin, with particular focus on its oil and 
gas assets.

Oil and Gas

Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 & EP458)

On  10  December  2018,  the  Company  announced  that,  pursuant  to  a  transaction 
entered into between Buru Energy Limited (“Buru”) and Diamond Resources (Barbwire) 
Pty Ltd (“DRB”) whereby Buru will increase its interests in these permits from 37.5% to 60%, 
Rey (via its wholly owned subsidiary Rey Oil and Gas Pty Limited) has exercised its pre-
emptive rights under the permit joint operating agreements and entered into a parallel 
agreement  with  DRB  to  increase  its  current  interests  in  each  of  the  EP457  and  EP458 
permits from 25% to 40% for a total cash consideration of $480,000.

8.RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)

The equity interest in each permit is currently:

Rey Oil and Gas Pty Limited

Buru Fitzroy Pty Limited

40%

60%

(Buru Energy Limited operator)

Fitzroy Block is considered prospective for conventional oil. It is close to Ungani oil field 
and on the Ungani Oil Trend. Two wells have been drilled in 2015 and tens of prospects 
has been identified by the operator in the block for future development.

On 4 January 2019, the operator lodged an application for a further 12 month suspension 
of years 1-5 work requirements to the DMIRS because the lifting of the frack moratorium 
has  not  been  formalized.  The  application  was  approved  on  16  January  2019  and  the 
planned magneto-telluric survey will be conducted in 2021.

Derby Block (EP487)

Rey Resources holds 100% equity interests in EP487 (“Derby Block”) through the following 
wholly owned subsidiaries:

Rey Lennard Shelf Pty Limited        50% 
50%
Rey Derby Block Pty Limited 

The Derby Block is a large exploration licence with an area of approximately 5,000 km2. 
The block is considered prospective for basin centred  wet gas. It occurs to the north of 
Rey’s existing  interests in petroleum exploration licences in the Canning Basin.

On  31  December  2018,  the  Company  announced  that  it  has  entered  into  a  binding 
letter of intent (“LOI”) with Doriemus pursuant to which Doriemus agreed to farmout to 
exploration  permit  EP487.  Upon  completion  of  the  farmout,  Doriemus  will  earn  a  50% 
operating interest in the asset. Subsequently, Doriemus failed to raise sufficient funds by 
end of June 2019 (which was extended to 31 July 2019) to undertake the farmout work on 
EP487 and Rey announced that it had terminated the Agreements on 5 August 2019.

On  20  May  2019,  Rey  sent  a  letter  to  the  government  regarding  the  voluntary 
relinquishment  of  13  blocks  in  EP487  and  apply  to  change  the  work  programs  for  all 
rested  permit  years  in  consideration  of  ban  area  of  fracture  stimulation.  On  9  August, 
Rey received suggestion letter from the DMIRS. The DMIRS will not suggest Rey to partially 
surrender of any blocks in EP487 at this stage but prepares to agree to remove the drilling 
depth  and  core  conditions  for  year  2  commitment  well  and  exempt  the  2  well  drilling 
requirements in permit year 3.

Lennard Shelf Blocks (EP104, R1, L15)

L15  is  a  production  licence  with  production  history  in  West  Kora  oil  field.  An  estimation 
of oil reserves and contingent oil resource for West Kora oilfield and Point Torment gas 
discover in R1 was provided by third party in September 2015.

On  31  December  2018,  the  Company  announced  that  it  has  entered  into  a  binding 
letter  of  intent  (“LOI”)  with  Doriemus  PLC  (“Doriemus”,  ASX:  DOR)  pursuant  to  which 
Doriemus  agreed  to  farmout  the  100%  owned  Petroleum  Production  Licence  15  (L15). 
Upon completion of the farmout, Doriemus will earn a 50% operating interest L15. On 5 
March 2019, the Company announced that it has signed a binding Farmout Agreement 
with Doriemus pursuant to which Doriemus will fund A$1 million in development work on 
Petroleum  Production  Licence  15.  These  activity  has  not  yet  commenced  at  30  June 
2019, and accordingly Rey continue to consider their interest and exploration activity.

On  5  May  2019,  Doriemus  released  announcement  regarding  the  updated  reserves  of 
West Kora prepared by ERCE cross Rey’s ASX platform. Rey appointed 3D Geo to review 
and  compare  the  new  reserves  report  to  the  one  provided  by  Energetca  Consulting 
for Key Petroleum Ltd in 2015. According to the suggestion of 3D Geo, Rey adopts the 
reserves results provided by ERCE.

As requested by the Traditional Land Owners, Rey scheduled the heritage survey in July 
2019 for the coming geochemical survey in R1 and well inspection work in L15. A drafted 
heritage  protection  agreement  has  also  been  received  and  reviewed  by  Rey.  On  11 
July 2019, the heritage survey was completed and final heritage clearance report was 
received on 24 July 2019. The well inspection and West Kora Tank Farm clean work, which 

is required by the government, is still ongoing as at 30 June 2019.

Coal

Duchess Paradise Project

r
o
F

The Duchess-Paradise Thermal Coal Project (“DP”) is located in the Canning Basin in the 
northwest  of Australia, which is also the largest undeveloped Permian coal-bearing basin 
in Australia. The total identified JORC mineral resources of P1 seam is 305Mt (Measured 
60.2Mt/Indicated 78.5Mt/Inferred 167.1Mt). The thermal coal of DP is in shallow seam from 
the surface which makes both open pit and underground mining potentially viable.

During the period, the Company continued to plan the second phase Definitive Feasibility 
Study (“DFS”) update. Rey has fully reviewed the proposed work program for DFS phase 
2 update prepared by LDO during the June 2019 quarter and is consulting with mining 
services contractor for further comments.

29

Rey Resources Annual Report 2019 
 
 
8.RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)

The DFS review and update will focus on updating the economic and financial model 
through different mining technology. Rey expects the new results will potentially increase 
Coal Reserve in comparison to the 2011 DFS. Other factors that may also require revision 
include transportation pathways.

Rey is now negotiating with Hancock Prospecting, the only objector to the Mining License 
Application for the DP project, to remove the objection. After multi rounds discussion, the 
Access Deed is close to be finalized.

Corporate

During the year, the loan facility granted by ASF Group Limited (“ASF”) increased to $3.8 
million  (“ASF  Loan”).  In  April  2019,  the  Company  repaid  $2.5  million  of  ASF  Loan  which 
remains available for re-draw before maturity pursuant to the terms of the ASF Loan. On 
14 June 2019, the Company further drawdown $150,000, therefore the remaining amount 
available under the $3.8 million ASF Loan is $2.35 million as at 30 June 2019.

In addition to the existing $500,000 loan (“First Liu Loan”), the Company entered into a 
further loan agreement on 18 April 2019 with Wanyan Liu (“Liu”), a substantial shareholder 
of the Company, for the granting of additional $3 million loan (“Second Liu Loan”), part 
of which had been used to repay ASF Loan as mentioned above. The Second Liu Loan 
will mature on 31 December 2020, with interest accruing at the rate of 12% per annum.

Subsequently after the financial year end, the Company entered into another new loan 
agreement with Liu for the granting of a further $3 million standby loan facility (“Third Liu 
Loan”)  and  the  extension  of  the  maturity  date  of  the  First  Liu  Loan  from  31  December 
2019 to 31 March 2021. The Third Liu Loan will mature on 31 December 2021, with interest 
accruing at the rate of 12% per annum.

During  the  financial  year,  the  Company  undertook  an  on-market  share  buyback 
and  bought  back  216,827  shares  at  a  cost  of  $66,000.  As  part  of  the  ongoing  capital 
management strategy, the Company has on 24 June 2019 announced the extension of 
the on-market buyback program for a further 12 months from 9 July 2019.

Finance review

Net loss of the consolidated entity after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2019 was 
$8,923,000, compared with the loss of $1,049,000 for the last year. The significant increase 
in loss for the year was mainly attributed to the following:

• 

impairment of exploration assets of $7,450,000 as a result of revaluation of EP457 & 
EP458 to their fair value;

Rey Resources Annual Report 2019 
 
 
14.ENVIRONMENTAL DISCLOSURE

The  Group’s  operations  are  subject  to  various  laws  governing  the  protection  of  the 
environment in areas such as protection of water quality, waste emission and disposal, 
environmental impact assessments, exploration rehabilitation and use of ground water. 
In particular, some operations are required to be licensed to conduct certain activities 
under  the  environmental  protection  legislation  in  the  state  in  which  they  operate  and 
such licences include requirements specific to the subject site.

So  far  as  the  Directors  are  aware,  there  have  been  no  material  breaches  of  the 
Company’s  licences  and  all  exploration  and  other  activities  have  been  undertaken  in 
compliance with the relevant environmental regulations.

15.INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE

During  the  financial  year,  the  Company  paid  a  premium  to  insure  the  Directors  and 
officers  of  the  Company  against  liabilities  incurred  in  the  performance  of  their  duties. 
Under the terms and conditions of the insurance contract, the premium paid cannot be 
disclosed.

The officers of the Company covered by the insurance policy include any person acting 
in the course of duties for the Company who is, or was, a Director, Company Secretary or 
senior manager within the Company.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal 
proceedings  that  may  be  brought  against  the  officers,  in  their  capacity  as  officers,  of 
the Company, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in 
connection  with  such  proceedings.  This  does  not  include  such  liabilities  that  arise  from 
conduct  involving  a  wilful  breach  of  duty  by  the  officers  or  the  improper  use  by  the 
officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone 
else or to cause detriment to the Company. It is not possible to apportion the premium 
between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other 
liabilities.

16.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On  17  July  2019,  the  Group  entered  into  a  new  loan  agreement  with  Wanyan  Liu, 
pursuant to which Liu agreed to grant a further loan facility to $3 million (Third Liu Loan) to 
the Company expiring 31 December 2021 and to extend the maturity date of the existing 
$500,000 loan (First Liu Loan) from 31 December 2019 to 31 March 2021.

During July 2019 and August 2019, the Group has drawn down $500,000 of the $3.0 million 
available under the Third Liu Loan.

1.  REPORTING ENTITY

e
p

Rey  Resources  Limited  (the  “Company”)  is  a  company  domiciled  in  Australia.  The 
address of the Company’s registered office is Suite 5, 62 Ord Street, West Perth WA 6005. 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the financial year 
ended 30 June 2019 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as 
“Rey Resources” or the “Group”). The Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved 
in mineral and oil and gas exploration and project evaluation.

2.  BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which 
have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (including 
the  Australian  Interpretations)  adopted  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board 
(“AASB”), and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply 
with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and interpretations adopted by 
the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies detailed 
below  have  been  consistently  applied  to  all  of  the  years  presented  unless  otherwise 
stated.

This is the first set of the Group’s annual financial statements in which AASB 15 Revenue 
from  Contracts  with  Customers  and  AASB  9  Financial  Instruments  have  been  applied. 
Changes to significant accounting policies are described in Note 3(o).

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors 
on 19 September 2019.

r
o
F

(b) Going concern
The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  a  going  concern  basis 
which  contemplates  the  continuity  of  normal  business  activities  and  the  realisation  of 
assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

For the year ended 30 June 2019 the Group incurred a loss of $8,923,000 and incurred 
operating and investing cash outflows of $2,452,000. As at 30 June 2019 the Group had 
cash of $28,000, an available standby loan facility from ASF Group Limited of $2,350,000, 
net working capital deficiency of $1,897,000 and net assets of $27,474,000 as at 30 June 
2019.

Notes to the consolidated financial report 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

2.  BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)

The  Group  has  prepared  a  cashflow  forecast  for  the  period  to  31  October  2020.  The 
cashflow forecast reflects:

•  The need to raise additional funding during the forecast period;
•  The  need  to  renegotiate  to  extend  the  repayment  of  the  loan  from  ASF  Group 

Limited beyond 31 December 2019.

•  That  the  Group  has  subsequent  to  30  June  2019  drawdown  $500,000  and  has 

access to the remaining $2.5 million under the $3.0 million “Third Liu Loan”.

•  That  ASF  Group  Limited  and  Wanyan  Liu  will  not  call  their  loans  owing  from  the 

Group in advance of the loan maturity date; and

•  The    need    to    defer    or    farm    out    the    Group’s    share    of    certain    petroleum  

interests  to  meet committed and forecast expenditures.

Rey is pursuing funding alternatives in the form of debt and equity, including discussions 
with existing shareholders, and with third parties for farmout certain petroleum interests.

The  Directors  believe  that  sufficient  funding  will  be  sourced,  the  repayment  of  loans 
extended,  the  loans  will  not  be  recalled  and  farm  out  parties  will  be  sourced  in 
the  timeframes  required  and  therefore  the  adoption  of  the  going  concern  basis  of 
preparation  is  appropriate.  The  requirement  to  raise  the  necessary  funding  to  meet  its 
commitments and secure farm out parties, or defer expenditure, is a material uncertainty 
that may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a 
going concern.

If  the  Group  is  unable  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  it  may  be  unable  to  realise  its 
assets  and  extinguish  its  liabilities  in  the  normal  course  of  business  and  at  the  amounts 
stated in the financial report.

(c) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

(d) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the 
Company’s functional currency.

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191 dated 10 
July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order, all financial information presented in 
Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.

Notes to the consolidated financial report 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

2.  BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)

(e) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to 
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting 
policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets,  liabilities,  income  and  expenses.  Actual 
results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Revisions  to 
accounting  estimates  are  recognised  in  the  period  in  which  the  estimates  are  revised 
and in any future periods affected.

Other  information  about  assumptions,  estimates  and  critical  judgements  in  applying 
accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in 
the financial statements is included in the following notes:

 - Going concern
Note 2(b) 
Note 7              - Recoverability of tax losses.
Note 13 

 - Ultimate recoupment of carried forward exploration expenditure.

The  accounting  policies  set  out  below  have  been  applied  consistently  to  all  periods 
presented  in  these  consolidated  financial  statements,  and  have  been  applied 
consistently by the Group.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Rey Resources 
Limited and its subsidiaries.

(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries  are  entities  controlled  by  the  Group.  The  Group  controls  an  entity  when  it 
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  over  the  entity.  The  financial 
statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the 
date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

Notes to the consolidated financial report 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains and expenses on transactions 
between  companies  of  the  consolidated  entity  are  eliminated  in  preparing  the 
consolidated financial statements.

(iii) Loss of control
On the loss of control, the Group de-recognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, 
any  non-controlling  interests  and  the  other  components  of  equity  related  to  the 
subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If 
the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at 
fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently that retained interest  is accounted 
for as an equity accounts investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending 
on the level of influence retained.

(iv) Joint arrangements
Joint  arrangements  are  defined  as  the  contractually  agreed  sharing  of  control  of 
an  arrangement,  which  exists  only  when  decisions  about  relevant  activities  require 
unanimous  consent  of  the  parties  sharing  control.  These  arrangements  may  be 
accounted for as a joint venture or a joint operation.

A joint venture, which is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby 
the  Group  has  rights  to  the  net  assets  of  the  arrangement,  rather  than  the  rights  to  its 
assets and obligation for its liabilities. Interest in joint ventures is accounted for using the 
equity method.

A joint operation is an arrangement in which the parties with joint control have rights to 
the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to that arrangement. In respect of its 
interest in a joint operation, a joint operator the Group recognises its relative share of its 
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

(b) Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Australian dollars being the functional 
currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary 
assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  at  the  reporting  date  are 
retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign 
currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(c) Non derivative financial instruments

(i) Recognition and initial measurement
Trade  receivables  are  initially  recognised  when  they  are  originated.  All  other  financial 
assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party 
to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A trade receivable without a significant 
financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
The  Group  has  two  types  of  financial  assets:  amortised  cost  and  FVTPL  in  accordance 
with  AASB  9.  Refer  Note  22  for  summary  of  the  reclassification  of  the  Group’s  financial 
assets and financial liabilities.

(iii) Derecognition
Financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows 
from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash 
flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of 
the  financial  asset  are  transferred  or  in  which  the  Group  neither  transfers  nor  retains 
substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the 
financial asset.

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its statement 
of financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the 
transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognised.

r
o
F

Financial liabilities
The  Group  derecognises  a  financial  liability  when  its  contractual  obligations  are 
discharged  or  cancelled,  or  expire.  The  Group  also  derecognises  a  financial  liability 
when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially 
different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised 
at fair value.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(iv) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue 
of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of 
any tax effects.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement
Items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated 
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The 
cost of self- constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other 
costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended 
use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they 
are located and capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased software that is integral to the 
functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

When  parts  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  have  different  useful  lives, 
they  are  accounted  for  as  separate  items  (major  components)  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment.

The  gains  and  losses  on  disposal  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are 
determined  by  comparing  the  proceeds  from  disposal  with  the  carrying  amount  of 
property,  plant  and  equipment  and  are  recognised  net  within  other  income/other 
expenses in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent costs
The  cost  of  replacing  a  component  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is 
recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic  
benefits  embodied  within  the  component  will  flow  to  the  Group,  and  its  cost  can  be 
measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs 
of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or 
loss as incurred.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation  is  based  on  the  cost  of  an  asset  less  its  residual  value.  Significant 
components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is 
different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful 
lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are 
depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably 
certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

The estimated depreciation rates for the current and comparative years are as follows:

Class of Fixed Asset                   Depreciation Rate
Plant and equipment 

      20 - 40%

Depreciation  methods,  useful  lives  and  residual  values  are  reviewed  at  each  financial 
year-end and adjusted if appropriate.

(e) Exploration and development assets
Exploration,  evaluation  and  development  expenditure  incurred  is  accumulated  in 
respect of each identifiable area of interest.

At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the  capitalised  exploration  and  evaluation 
expenditure  is  assessed  for  impairment.  This  expenditure  is  only  carried  forward  to  the 
extent  that  they  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  the  successful  development 
of  the  area  or  where  activities  in  the  area  have  not  yet  reached  a  stage  that  permits 
reasonable assessment of the existence of 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.

When  production  commences,  the  accumulated  costs  for  the  relevant  area  of 
interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the 
economically recoverable reserves.

Notes to the consolidated financial report 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness 
of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Costs of the site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration 
commences  and  are  included  in  the  costs  of  that  stage.  Site  restoration  costs  include 
the dismantling and removal of plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, 
and  rehabilitation  of  the  site  in  accordance  with  clauses  of  the  mining  permits.  Such 
costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements 
and technology on an undiscounted basis. Any changes in the estimates for costs are 
accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there may 
be  uncertainty  regarding  the  nature  and  extent  of  the  restoration  due  to  community 
expectations and future legislation.

(f) Impairment

(i)  Non-derivative financial assets
The  Group  has  adopted  AASB  9  from  1  July  2019  which  has  introduced  a  revised 
impairment model for financial assets. AASB 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in AASB 
139  with  an  ‘expected  credit  loss’  ("ECL")  model.  The  new  impairment  model  applies 
to  financial  assets  measured  at  amortised  cost,  contract  assets  and  debt  investments 
at FVTOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments. Under AASB 9, credit losses are 
recognised earlier than under AASB 139.

In assessing collective impairment the Group uses historical trends of the probability of 
default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s 
judgement  as  to  whether  current  economic  and  credit  conditions  are  such  that  the 
actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.

An  impairment  loss  in  respect  of  a  financial  asset  measured  at  amortised  cost  is 
calculated  as  the  difference  between  its  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of 
the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. 
Losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  and  reflected  in  an  allowance  account  against 
receivables.  Interest  on  the  impaired  asset  continues  to  be  recognised  through  the 
unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment 
loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

(g) Employee benefits
Provision  is  made  for  the  Group’s  liability  for  employee  benefits  arising  from  services 
rendered by employees to balance sheet date. Employee benefits that are expected 
to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid 
when the liability is settled, plus related on-cost. Employee benefits payable later than 
one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows 
to be made for those benefits.

(i) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term  employee  benefit  obligations  are  measured  on  an  undiscounted  basis  and 
are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount 
expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has 
a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service 
provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(ii) Share-based payment transactions
The  grant  date  fair  value  of  share-based  payment  awards  granted  to  employees  is 
recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the 
period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount 
recognised  as  an  expense  is  adjusted  to  reflect  the  number  of  awards  for  which  the 
related  service  and  non-market  vesting  conditions  are  expected  to  be  met,  such  that 
the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that 
meet the related service and non- market performance conditions at the vesting date. 
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value 
of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-
up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

(h) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where 
the  amount  of  GST  incurred  is  not  recoverable  from  the  Australian  Tax  Office.  In  these 
circumstances GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part 
of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown 
inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the 
GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating 
cash flows.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(i) Income tax
Income  tax  expense  comprises  current  and  deferred  tax.  Current  and  deferred  tax  is 
recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, 
or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for 
the  year,  using  tax  rates  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  at  the  reporting  date,  and  
any  adjustment  to    tax  payable  in  respect  of  previous  years.  Current  tax  payable  also 
includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.

Deferred  tax  is  recognised  in  respect  of  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for 
taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:

• 

• 

temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction 
that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable 
profit or loss.
temporary  differences  related  to  investments  in  subsidiaries  and  associates  and 
jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse 
in  the  foreseeable  future  taxable  temporary  differences  arising  on  the  initial 
recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary 
differences  when  they  reverse,  based  on  the  laws  that  have  been  enacted  or 
substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset 
current  tax  liabilities  and  assets,  and  they  relate  to  income  taxes  levied  by  the  same 
tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to 
settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be 
realised simultaneously.

A  deferred  tax  asset  is  recognised  for  unused  tax  losses,  tax  credits  and  deductible 
temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be 
available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each 
reporting  date  and  are  reduced  to  the  extent  that  it  is  no  longer  probable  that  the 
related tax benefit will be realised.

Rey Resources Limited

Notes to the consolidated financial report 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The  Company  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  resident  entities  are  part  of  a  tax-
consolidated  group.  As  a  consequence,  all  members  of  the  tax-consolidated  group 
are  taxed  as  a  single  entity.  The  head  entity  within  the  tax-consolidated  group  is  Rey 
Resources  Limited.  Current  income  tax  expense  /  benefit,  deferred  tax  liabilities  and 
deferred  tax  assets  arising  from  temporary  differences  of  the  members  of  the  tax-
consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members 
of  the  tax-consolidated  group  using  the  ‘separate  taxpayer  within  group’  approach 
by  reference  to  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  in  the  separate  financial 
statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

(j) Earnings per share
The  Group  presents  basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  data  for  its  ordinary  shares. 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary 
shareholders  of  the  Company  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares 
outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted earnings per share 
is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, 
for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options and 
share performance rights granted to employees.

(k) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities 
from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses 
that  relate  to  transactions  with  any  of  the  Group’s  other  components.  All  operating 
results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s Chief Operating Decision maker (CODM). 
The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the 
operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.

Segment  capital  expenditure  is  the  total  cost  incurred  during  the  period  to  acquire 
property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.

(l) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or 
constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow 
of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined 
by  discounting  the  expected  future  cash  flows  at  a  pre-tax  rate  that  reflects  current 
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The 
unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.

(m) Finance income and finance costs
Borrowing  costs  that  are  not  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or 
production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest 
method.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income 
or finance  cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or 
net loss position.

(n) Determination of fair values
Share-based payment transactions
The  fair  value  of  the  Directors’  performance  rights  is  measured  using  Monte  Carlo 
Sampling. The fair value of the executive rights is measured with reference to the share 
price at grant date. The fair value of the employee share options are measured using the 
Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, 
exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic 
volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted 
average  expected  life  of  the  instruments  (based  on  historical  experience  and  general 
option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on 
government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the 
transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.

(o) Changes in significant accounting policies
The  Group  has  initially  applied  AASB  15  and  AASB  9,  including  any  consequential 
amendments to other standards from 1 July 2018. A number of other new standards are 
also effective from 1 July 2018.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB  15  establishes  a  comprehensive  framework  for  determining  whether,  how  much 
and when revenue is recognised. It replaced AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction 
Contracts  and  related  interpretations.  Under  AASB  15,  revenue  is  recognised  when  a 
customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer 
of control – at a point in time or over time – requires judgement. The adoption of AASB 15  
has no impact on this set of financial statements.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB  9  sets  out  requirements  for  recognising  and  measuring  financial  assets,  financial 
liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. This standard replaces IAS

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The adoption of AASB 9 has not 
had a significant effect on the Group’s financial statements.

Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
AASB  9  contains  principal  classification  categories  for  financial  assets:  measured  at 
amortised cost and FVTPL. The classification of financial assets under AASB 9 is generally 
based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual 
cash  flow characteristics.  AASB 9 eliminates the previous AASB 139 categories of held 
to  maturity,  loans  and  receivables  and  available  for  sale.  Under  AASB  9,  derivatives 
embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard 
is  never  separated.  Instead,  the  hybrid  financial  instrument  as  a  whole  is  assessed  for 
classification.

AASB  9  largely  retains  the  existing  requirements  in  AASB  139  for  the  classification  and 
measurement of financial liabilities.

Impairment of financial assets
AASB 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in AASB 139 with an ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) 
model.  The  new  impairment  model  applies  to  financial  assets  measured  at  amortised 
cost,  contract  assets  and  debt  investments  at  FVOCI,  but  not  to  investments  in  equity 
instruments. Under AASB 9, credit losses are recognised earlier than under AASB 139.

The  Group  has  determined  that  the  application  of  AASB  9’s  impairment  requirements 
does  not  result  in material change to the impairment loss recognised at 1 July 2019.

Financial liabilities
The  Group  classifies  non-derivative  financial  liabilities  into  the  other  financial  liabilities 
category.

The  Group  derecognises  a  financial  liability  when  its  contractual  obligations  are 
discharged  or  cancelled,  or  expire.  The  Group  also  derecognises  a  financial  liability 
when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are modified and 
the  cash  flows  of  the  modified  liability  are  substantially  different,  in  which  case  a  new 
financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.

On  derecognition  of  a  financial  liability,  the  difference  between  the  carrying  amount 
extinguished  and  the  consideration  paid  (including  any  non-cash  assets  transferred  or 
liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial  liabilities  are  initially  recognised  when  the  Group  becomes  party  to  the 
contractual  provisions  of  the  instrument.  A  financial  liability  is  initially  measured  at  fair 
value plus transactions costs that are directly attributable to its issue.

2019)  was  issued  but  not  yet  effective.  As  disclosed  in  Note  19  (a),  there  was  no  non-
cancellable  operating  lease  commitment  for  the  Group.  Based  on  management 

assessment, AASB 16 Leases will have minimal impact on the Group.

Tax losses

At  30  June  2019,  the  Group  has  tax  losses  arising  in  Australia  of  $81,407,676  (2018: 
$79,503,136) that are available for offset against future taxable income. The Group has 
not recognised a deferred tax asset in relation to these tax losses (other than an offset 
to  the  deferred  tax  liability)  as  realisation  of  the  benefit  is  not  regarded  as  probable. 
Additionally, the ability of the Group to utilise these tax losses will depend on whether the 
Group is determined to pass the Australian Tax Office rules of continuity of ownership test, 
or failing that, the same business test.

Tax consolidation

Rey Resources Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax-
consolidated Group with effect from 1 July 2009. The first consolidated income tax return 
for the Group was filed for the tax year ended 30 June 2010. Rey Resources Limited is the 
head entity of the tax-consolidated group.

The financial asset at fair value through profit or loss is an investment in Norwest Energy NL. 
Fair value represents the market value of the financial assets at balance date. On 5 June 
2015,  Rey  subscribed  for  $250,000  of  Norwest  Energy  NL  (Norwest)  shares  at  a  price  of 
$0.004712 per share. The closing price of Norwest shares as at 30 June 2019 was $0.002 per 
share. This financial asset is initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are 
directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. These assets are subsequently measured at 
fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised 
in profit or loss.

1.  Exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  recognised  in  Duchess  Paradise  is  held 

solely by the Group.

2.  Exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  recognised  on  EP457  and  EP458 
tenements under joint venture agreement with Buru Energy Limited. This amount 
includes  the  Group’s  proportionate  share  of  exploration  assets  held  by  the 
respective  joint  venture  entities.  On  28  March  2019,  the  Company  increased  its 
current interests in each of the EP457 & EP458 permits from 25% to 40% for a total 
cash consideration of $480,000. An impairment of $7,450,000 was made as a result 
of revaluation of EP457 & EP458 to their fair value. The Group utilized a third party 
valuation  expert  who  applied  the  VALMIN  code  to  determine  the  fair  value  of 
EP457 and EP458.

3.  Acquisition  costs  and  the  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  recognised 
on EP104, R1 and L15 (together the “Lennard Shelf Blocks”) which are held solely 
by the Group. On 5 March 2019, the Company announced that it has signed a 
binding  Farmout  Agreement  with  Doriemus  Plc  (“Doriemus”)  pursuant  to  which 
Doriemus will fund $1 million in development work on L15 for a 50% interest in L15. 
The  carry  value  of  L15  will  be  reassessed  upon  the  completion  of  the  Farmout 
Agreement activities.

4.  Exploration and evaluation expenditure recognised on EP487 which is held solely 
by  the  Group.  On  31  December  2018,  the  Company  announced  that  it  has 
entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Doriemus PLC (“Doriemus”, ASX: 
DOR) pursuant to which Doriemus agreed to farmout to exploration permit EP487. 
Upon completion of the farmout, Doriemus will earn a 50% operating interest in the 
asset. As announced by the Company on 5 March 2019, Doriemus advised that it

has finalised the due diligence on EP487. On 5 August 2019, Rey announced that it 
has  terminated  the  farmout  arrangement  with  Doriemus  as  Doriemus  has  failed  to 
raise  the  necessary  fund  required  for  the  drilling  commitments  before  the  mutually 

agreed deadline.

An exploration and evaluation asset is recognized in relation to an area of interest if the 
following conditions are satisfied:

(a) The rights to tenure of the area of interest are current;

(b) At least one of the following conditions is also met:

(i) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through 
successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by 
its sale; and

(ii) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the end of 
the reporting period reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of 
the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and 
significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Management expect to extend the right of tenure for tenements approaching expiry.

The restoration provision relates to the West Kora 1 well and disused production facilities in 
Production License L15, which was estimated based upon converting the well to a water 
well following confirmation from the pastoral lease owner and removing the tank farm 
and restoring the site back to its original condition.

The provision has been calculated on an assumption that management expects that the 
cash out flow will not be incurred until approximately 2029.

The movement of the provision is related to the discount unwind.

Western Australia.

On 10 December 2018, the Company announced that, pursuant to a transaction entered 
into between Buru and Diamond Resources (Barbwire) Pty Limited (“DRB”) whereby Buru 
will  increase  its  interests  in  these  permits  from  37.5%  to  60%,  Rey  (via  its  wholly  owned 
subsidiary  Rey  Oil  and  Gas  Pty  Limited)  has  exercised  its  pre-  emptive  rights  under  the 
permit  joint  operating  agreements  and  entered  into  a  parallel  agreement  with  DRB  to 
increase its current interests in each of the EP457 and EP458 permits from 25% to 40% for a 
total cash consideration of $480,000.

Notes to the consolidated financial report 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

22.  FINANCIAL  RISK  MANAGEMENT  AND  FAIR  VALUE  OF  FINANCIAL 
INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

The Group does not use any form of derivatives for speculative purposes. The Group is not 
at a level of exposure that requires the use of derivatives to hedge its exposure.

The  main  risks  the  Group  is  exposed  to  through  its  financial  instruments  are  liquidity  risk 
and market risk which includes interest rate risk.

Credit risk

Credit  risk  is  the  risk  of  financial  loss  to  the  Group  if  a  customer  or  counterparty  to  a 
financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the 
Group’s cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents and 
other deposits with banks by only dealing with reputable banks with high credit ratings.

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group has no significant concentration of 
credit risk with respect to any single counter party or group of counter parties. The Group 
is not exposed to any significant credit risk as there were no trading operations during the 
year.

At 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018, there was no impairment loss allowance and there 
were no receivables past due but not impaired.

Liquidity risk

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

The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  adequate  cash  reserves  from  funds 
raised  in  the  market,  by  continuously  monitoring  forecast  and  actual  cash  flows  and 
ensuring that adequate uncommitted funding is available and maintained.

INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk which is the risk that a financial instrument’s fair 
value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates on 
interest-bearing financial instruments.

At  the  reporting  date,  the  Group  had  the  following  mix  of  financial  assets  exposed  to 
interest rate risk.

At  the  reporting  date,  the  Group  had  a  total  of  $7.3  million  term  loan  facilities  from 
shareholders.  Due  to  the  fixed  interest  rate  of  the  loans,  the  Group  is  not  exposed  to 
interest rate fluctuations.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased 
or decreased profit or loss by $374 (2018: $624).

Fair values

The Group's share investment measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period 
on a recurring basis and categorised into Level 1 fair value hierarchy as defined in AASB 
13  Fair  value  measurement.  The  fair  value  of  the  share  investment  is  measured  using 
unadjusted quote price on the Australian Securities Exchange.

During the year ended 30 June 2018 and 2019, there were no transfers between Level 1 
and Level 2 or transfer into or out of Level 3.

Except  for  the  share  investment,  the  carrying  amounts  of  other  financial  assets  and 
financial  liabilities  are  assumed  to  approximate  their  fair  values  due  to  their  short-term 
nature.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We  draw  attention  to  Note  2(b),  “Going  concern”  in  the  financial  report.  The  conditions 

disclosed in Note 2(b) indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt 

on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its 

assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in 

the financial report.  Our opinion is not modified in  respect of this matter.

In  concluding  there  is  a  material  uncertainty  related  to  going  concern  we  evaluated  the 

extent of uncertainty regarding events or conditions casting significant doubt in the Group’s 

assessment of going concern. This included:

•  Analysing the cash flow projections by:

•  Evaluating  the  underlying  data  used  to  generate  the  projections  for  consistency  with 

other  information  tested  by  us,  our  understanding  of  the  Group’s  intentions,  and  past 

results and practices;

•  Assessing  the  planned  levels  of  operating  and  capital  expenditures  for  consistency  of 

relationships and trends to the Group’s historical results, results since year end, and our 

understanding of the business, industry and economic conditions of the Group;

•  Assessing significant non-routine forecast cash inflows and outflows including the impact 

of a potential share issue subsequent to year end for feasibility, quantum and timing.  We 

used our knowledge of the client, its industry and current status of those initiatives to assess 

the level of associated uncertainty.

•  Reading Directors’ minutes to understand the Group’s ability to raise additional shareholder 

funds, and assess the level of associated uncertainty; and

•  Evaluating  the  Group’s  going  concern  disclosures  in  the  financial  report  by  comparing 

them to our understanding of the matter, the events or conditions incorporated into the 

cash flow projection assessment, the Group’s plans to address those events or conditions, 

and accounting standard requirements.  We specifically focused on the principle matters 

giving rise to the material uncertainty.

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 matter described below to be the Key Audit Matter.

79

Rey Resources Annual Report 2019 
 
 
Exploration and evaluation expenditure ($35,912,000)

Refer to Note 13 ‘Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure’

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Exploration and evaluation expenditure 
capitalised (E&E) is a key audit matter due 
to:

• 

• 

the significance of the activity to the 
Group’s business and the balance 
(being 99% of  total assets); and

the greater level of audit effort to 
evaluate the Group’s application 
of the requirements of the industry 
specific accounting standard AASB 
6 Exploration for and Evaluation of 
Mineral Resources, in particular the 
conditions allowing capitalisation of 
relevant expenditure and presence of 
impairment indicators. The presence 
of impairment indicators would 
necessitate a detailed analysis by the 
Group of the value of E&E, therefore 
given the criticality of this to the scope 
and depth of our work, we involved 
senior team members to challenge the 
Group’s determination that no such 
indicators existed.

In assessing the conditions allowing 
capitalisation of relevant expenditure, we 
focused on:

• 

the determination of the areas of 
interest;

•  documentation available regarding 
rights to tenure, via licensing, and 
compliance with relevant conditions, 
to maintain current rights to an area of 
interest and the Group’s intention and 
capacity to continue the relevant E&E 
activities; and

• 

the Group’s determination of whether 
the E&E are expected to be recouped 
through successful development and 
exploitation of the area of interest, or 
alternatively, by its sale.

Our audit procedures included:

•  Evaluating the Group’s accounting policy to 
recognise exploration and evaluation assets 
using the criteria in the accounting standard;

•  We assessed the Group’s determination of 
its areas of interest for consistency with the 
definition in the accounting standard. This 
involved analysing the licenses in which the 
Group holds an interest and the exploration 
programs planned for those for consistency 
with documentation such as license related 
technical conditions, joint venture agreements,  
and planned work programs;

•  For each area of interest, we assessed 
the Group’s current rights to tenure by 
corroborating the ownership of the relevant 
license to government registries and evaluating 
agreements in place with other parties.  We 
also tested for compliance with conditions,  
such as minimum expenditure requirements, on 
a sample of licenses;

•  We tested the Group’s additions to E&E for 
the year by evaluating a statistical sample 
of recorded expenditure for consistency 
to underlying records, the capitalisation 
requirements of the Group’s accounting 
policy and the requirements of the accounting 
standard;

•  We evaluated Group documents, such as 
minutes of Board meetings, for consistency 
with their stated intentions for continuing E&E 
in certain areas.  We corroborated this through 
interviews with key operational and finance 
personnel;

•  We analysed the Group’s determination of 

recoupment through successful development 
and exploitation of the area or by its sale by 
evaluating the Group’s documentation of 
planned future/continuing activities including

In assessing the presence of 
impairment indicators, we focused 
on those that may draw into question 
the commercial continuation of E&E 
activities for areas of interest where 
significant capitalised E&E exists. In 
addition to the assessments above, 
and given the financial position of the 
Group and restrictive events imposed 
we paid particular attention to:

•  documentation available regarding 
rights to tenure, via licensing, and 
compliance with relevant conditions, 
to maintain current rights to an area 
of interest and the Group’s intention 
and capacity to continue the 
relevant E&E activities;

• 

• 

The ability of the Group to fund the 
continuation of activities;

The impact of the restrictive event 
imposed on the Groups to the 
implications to carrying forward 
capitalised E&E; and

•  Results from latest activities regarding 

the existence or otherwise of 
economically recoverable reserves.

These assessments can be inherently 
difficult, particularly in uncertain or 
depressed market conditions such as 
those currently being experienced in 
Australian oil and gas exploration.

In addition to the above across significant 
tenements, the Group recorded an 
impairment charge of $7,450,000 against 
two areas of interest, as a result of the 
recent market transaction with a third 
party. This further increased our audit 
effort in this key audit area.

work programs and project and corporate 
budgets for a sample of areas;

•  We obtained project and corporate budgets 
identifying areas with existing funding and 
those requiring alternate funding sources. 
We compared this for consistency with areas 
with E&E, for evidence of the ability to fund 
continued activities. We identified those 
areas relying on alternate funding sources 
and evaluated the capacity of the Group to 
secure such funding;

•  We assessed the impact of the 

unconventional drilling moratoriums to the 
Group’s planned continued exploration 
and evaluation activities.  We read 
correspondence from the Government 
of Western Australia which imposed the 
moratorium to understand the scenario 
and status, and compared this to the 
Group’s proposed level and timing of 
recommencement activity to that prior  to 
the moratorium.  We used this knowledge to 
assess the Group’s decision to continue to 
carry E&E on these areas, and the consistency 
of the decision for commercial continuation 
of activities; and

•  We compared the results regarding the 

existence of reserves for consistency to the 
treatment of E&E and the requirements of the 
accounting standard.

•  We assessed the scope, competency and 

objectivity of the external expert engaged by 
the Group who assisted with the assessments 
of the valuation of E&E assets.

•  For the specific tenements where impairment 

was recorded, we recalculated the 
impairment charge against the recorded 
carrying value and compared this to the 
amount disclosed.
