CHAIRMAN’S LETTER  

Dear Shareholders, 

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is with pleasure that I present to you Resource Mining Corporation Limited’s 
(RMC or Company) Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022. 

This has been a transformative year for RMC with the divestment of the Wowo Gap Nickel Laterite Project in PNG 
completed, and a shift in focus towards Nickel, Cobalt, and Lithium projects including the Kabulanywele Nickel 
Project – majority owned by the Company – and announced acquisitions of futher projects in both Tanzania and 
Finland at varying stages of progression. 

Milestones we have achieved over the past twelve months include: 

•  Completion of the Wowo Gap Project divestment in October 2021; 
• 

Initial exploration at Kabulanywele Nickel Project resulting in soil and rock samples delineating a Ni and Co 
anomaly with a strike length of 2km coincident with a historically mapped Ni laterite deposit – with rock chip 
and soil samples returning a maximum value of 1.27% Ni 0.85% Ni respectively; 

•  Reaching agreements with major debtholders to eliminate all debt in the Company – for the first time in 

many years (subject to shareholder approval); 

•  Commencing the process of seeking shareholder approval for the acquisition of the Massive Nickel project 
portfolio – including a number of prospecting licences in Tanzania which complement the Company’s 
Kabulanywele Nickel Project; 

•  Commencing maiden drilling at our Kabulanywele Nickel Project with assay results due to be received in the 

coming month; 

•  Securing an exclusive option and conducting due diligence on a further acquisition of Nickel and Lithium 

projects in Finland – in one of Europe’s most prospective regions.   

Although there have been a number of changes to the composition of your Board, the Board and Management Team 
that I lead today is well placed and highly motivated to further realise the value of our current and future asset 
portfolio.  

From a capital management perspective, we are in a strong position having finally secured agreements to become 
debt free (subject to shareholder approval) and have received strong support from new and existing investors in 
recent equity capital raising activities, totalling $2.32 million in the past 12 months. We are also pleased to see a total 
comprehensive profit for the year, predominantly due to the sale of the Company’s Wowo Gap Project in Papua New 
Guinea. 

Your Board is looking forward to the exciting few months to come as we further expand our footprint in Tanzania and 
grow our portfolio of attractive high quality projects globally. 

Yours sincerely 

Asimwe Kabunga 
Chairman

In August 2021 there was a divestment of the Wowo gap project. RMI’s subsidiary, Resource Exploration Pty Ltd 
(REX) signed a binding but conditional Share Purchase Agreement with Regency Mines Australasia Pty Ltd to 
sell  100% of  the issued  share  capital  in  REX’s  subsidiary, Niugini  Nickel  Pty  Ltd  (NN).  NN  owns 100%  of  the 
Wowo Gap Nickel Laterite Project in Papua New Guinea. Regency Mines Australasia Pty Ltd is a wholly owned 
subsidiary  of  Corcel  plc.  As  consideration  for  the  sale,  Corcel  plc  is  releasing  all  liabilities  and  obligation  in 
connection with its AUD4,761,087 of loans owing by RMI. 

In December 2021 RMI successfully raised $500,000 before costs, from a share placement to fund preparation 
work for exploration programs for the 2022 field season at the Kabulwanyele Nickel Project in Tanzania. Funds 
used for debt servicing and working capital. 

In May 2022 RMI made a share placement to raise $0.62million before costs for a new sophisticated investor. The 
funds  raised  are  to  advance  the  next  phase  of  exploration  activities  at  the  Kabulanywele  Nickel  Project  in 
Tanzania, complete the acquisition of MNPL and its Tanzanian nickel projects, and general working capital. 

In June 2022 the Company entered into an exclusive option to acquire one Nickel and two Lithium projects in 
Finland. The option deed has a four month option term with due diligence and final negotiations to occur during 
term. The Company issued 2.5million shares for the exclusive option.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

•  Also  in  June  2022,  the  Company  completed  a  $1.2million  (before  costs)  share  placement  for  an  existing 
shareholder  and  new  sophisticated  investors. The  funds  raised  will  be used  for  the  due diligence  program  for 
Nickel and Lithium projects in Finland and for general working capital. The Company also commenced its maiden 
1,000m RC drilling program at its Kabulwanyele Nickel Project in Tanzania. 

• 

In September 2022, the Company obtained shareholder approval to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Massive 
Nickel Pty Ltd which indirectly holds a quality portfolio of Tanzanian nickel exploration assets. MNPL holds 99% 
of the issued capital of Massive Nickel Tanzania Limited (MNTL). MNTL holds a 100% interest in prospecting 
licences that are granted or in application, that complement the Company’s existing Kabulanywele Nickel Project. 
Consideration for the acquisition will be the issue of 75 million RMI shares and the grant of a net smelter return 
royalty. 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Kabulanywele Nickel Project 

The Kabulanywele Nickel Projectis located in the Mpanda District of Tanzania, approximately 35km from the eastern 
shore of Lake Tanganyika, with the area forming part of the western limb of the East African Rift systems.  

In 2021, the Company conducted a sampling program that included a systematic collection of 254 soil samples and 
19 rock chip samples from all tenements at the Project.  

This program delivered highly encouraging nickel and cobalt results and delineated a Nickel-Cobalt anomaly with a 
strike length of 2km as illustrated in Figure 1, which is broadly coincident with a historically mapped nickel laterite. All 
samples collected from this anomaly returned grades equal to, or exceeding, 500ppm Ni and 200ppm Co, with 
grades of up to 1.27% Ni tested in a rock sample, and up to 0.85% Ni in soils . 

Figure 1: Nickel assay results for soil and rock samples at the Kabulwanyele Nickel Project.1

Assay Results Received.”

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

Kabulwanyele is a lateritic occurrence overlying a mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion. The nature of the mineralisation 
present confirms the potential for both a possible lateritic nickel zone as well as an underlying nickel-enriched source 
within the serpentinite. Evidence for sulphide mineralization is supported by gossan-type box work structures seen 
within the serpentinite rock units (See Figure 2 below) and further field mapping will be used to define the extent of 
this gossanic feature. 

Figure 2: Ferruginous silicious boulder with boxwork structures within the serpentinite unit 

Following the highly encouraging findings from the 2021 field season, the Company announced a maiden drill 
program on a systematic grid of 200m by 800m. The drill program aimed at testing for the presence of massive 
sulphides underlying the laterite cover, increasing the geological understanding of the area. 

This drilling program completed in July 2022 and comprised 19 drilled holes for a total of 799m.  
Geological logging of the RC chips has identified a lateritic profile comprising intercepts of ferruginous layers, highly 
weathered rocks (saprolite) and saprolitic rocks. The thickness of the ferruginous layer combined with saprolite layers 
ranges between 5 to 50m. Most of the holes ended in fresh rocks.  The drill holes to the north have generally not 
ended in fresh rock due to groundwater inundation that the RC rig is unable to clear through increased air pressure – 
so those holes have ended predominantly in saprock. 

The samples collected from the drilling program have been dispatched to Nesch Mintek Mwanza for preparation 
before being shipped to the ALS Chemex South Africa for analysis. The assay results are expected soon. 

A gravity survey program has been proposed to assess the potential for a deeply buried mafic-ulframafic intrusive 
that may have been altered to form the identified nickel laterite anomalies. The generated gravity targets will then be 
followed up by a ground Electromagnetic (EM) survey. An EM survey will help identify any conducting sulphide layers 
that may exist at depth. Any combination of targets identified by Gravity and EM would then be tested using deeper 
diamond drilling.

Massive Nickel Project Portfolio Proposed Acquisition 

In May 2022, the Company conditionally agreed to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Massive Nickel Pty Ltd 
which indirectly holds a quality portfolio of Tanzanian nickel exploration assets comprising: 

• 

• 

• 

the Kabanga North Nickel Project: along strike from Kabanga Nickel’s ‘Kabanga Project’ which is host to a 
total mineral resource of 58mt @ 2.62% Ni (prevailing in-situ nickel equivalent grade is 3.14% including 
cobalt and copper)2; 
the Kapalagula Nickel Project: complementing the Company’s existing Kabulwanyele Nickel Project with 
ultramafic lithologies noted to host Nickel, along with platinum group elements and copper mineralisation3; 
the Southern Projects: including Mbinga, Liparamba and Kitai which all host ultramafic lithologies over 
considerable strike lengths with noted Nickel anomalism confirmed4. 

The Company held a  General Meeting on 29 September 2022 where a resolution was passed by shareholders on a 
poll to approve the acquisition of Massive Nickel Pty Ltd.

Finland Nickel and Lithium Projects – Exclusive Option 

In June 2022, the Company secured an exclusive option to acquire a portfolio of Nickel and Lithium projects in 
Finland, and has since commenced an extensive due diligence process to assess the prospectivity of these projects. 
This due diligence exercise included the commissioning of a report from Skapto reviewing historical data purchased 
from the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK). 

The portfolio comprises5: 

•  Ruossakero (Nickel): The Ruossakero Ni Project (named after the deposit it contains) is 283.72km² in size 
and is situated on the north western edge of Finland, near the Swedish border. The Ruossakero NiS 
deposits are hosted by Archean aged komatiitic ultramafic bodies and are considered to be of the ‘Contact-
type’ Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation. The largest of the occurrences is 4 km in length and 0.1 to 1.5 km in width. 
The thickness is at least 400 m. The Ruossakero Ni occurrence is at the basal contact zone of an NW-
trending komatiitic cumulate sequence. Historic intersections include 14m @ 1.03% Ni  (Ruossakero, Hole 
ID M183483R404). 

5  Refer  to  the  Company’s  ASX  Announcement  dated  9  May  2022  and  must  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Competent  Persons 
Statement at the end of that announcement.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

•  Hirvikallio (Lithium): The Hirvikallio Lithium reservation is located in the Somero-Tammela area, Southern 
Finland. The Finnish Geological Survey GTK considers it one of the most promising lithium pegmatite 
provinces in Finland. It is within a geological setting that has known Li bearing pegmatites and does support 
significant more opportunity for discovery. Historic intersections include 5m @ 2.30% Li2O (Hirvikallio, Hole 
ID M202458R1). 

•  Kola (Lithium): The Kola Lithium reservation is located in the Kaustinen district. The geology of the Keliber 

Oy lithium project extends into the Kola reservation. According to GTK data, abundant spodumene-
containing pegmatite boulders were observed in the reservation area, especially directly south of the major 
Syväjärvi and Rapasaari deposits of Keliber. 

The  Company  has  an  exclusive  option  to  acquire  these  projects  until  15  November  2022  and  expects  to  make  a 
decision as to its intentions and negotiate terms with the Vendors following further due diligence over the coming weeks.

B. REMUNERATION POLICY, LINK TO PERFORMANCE AND ELEMENTS OF REMUNERATION 

The Board’s policy is to remunerate Directors, officers and employees at market rates for companies of similar size and 
industry, for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payment to the Directors and reviews their 
remuneration as required, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought 
when  required.  The  maximum  aggregate  amount  of  Directors’  fees  that  can  be  paid  is  subject  to  approval  by 
shareholders in general meeting, from time to time. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance 
of the Group. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholders’ interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold 
securities in the Company. 

RMC ANNUAL REPORT 2022

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size 
and  industry,  and  by  reference  to  the  Director’s  skills  and  experience,  and  for  the  Reporting  Period  included  a 
consideration of the financial restrictions in place on the Company. 

Remuneration policy and framework 

The Company's policy on remuneration clearly distinguishes the structure of Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration 
from that of executive Directors and senior executives. Given the financial restrictions placed on it, the Company may 
consider it appropriate to issue unlisted options to Non-Executive Directors, subject to obtaining the relevant approvals. 
The Remuneration Policy is subject to annual review.  

The  maximum  aggregate  amount  of  fees  (including  superannuation  payments)  that  can  be  paid  to  Non-Executive 
Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at general meeting.  The maximum aggregate Directors' fees payable 
to non-executive Directors is $250,000 per annum as approved by the shareholders at the 2020 AGM on 11 December 
2020 (stated in section 14.8 of the constitution adopted at that meeting). 

Executive  pay  and  rewards  may  consist  of  a  base  salary  and  performance  incentives.  Long  term  performance 
incentives may include options granted at the discretion of the Board and subject to obtaining the relevant approvals. 
The grant of options, when made, are designed to recognise and reward efforts as well as to provide additional incentive 
and may be subject to the successful completion of performance hurdles. Executives are offered a competitive level of 
base pay at market rates (for comparable companies) and are reviewed to ensure market competitiveness. 

There are no termination or retirement benefits for Non-Executive Directors (other than superannuation). 

Relationship between remuneration and the Group’s performance 

The Company does not pay any performance-based component of salaries. 

C. CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS OF KMP REMUNERATION 

On appointment to the board, all non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form 
of a letter of appointment.  The letter summarises the board policies and terms, including compensation, relevant to the 
office  of  director.    Remuneration  and  other  terms  of  employment  for  the  executive  directors  and  the  other  key 
management personnel are formalised in service agreements. 

Executive Directors 

Mr Asimwe Kabunga, Executive Chairman and Director, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Group. The 
Group has an agreement with Kabunga Holdings Pty Ltd* to provide the services of Mr Kabunga to the Company in 
relation to its activities on normal commercial terms and conditions, which are detailed as follows: 

Terms of Agreement 

Remuneration excluding GST 

Termination benefit 

Agreement commenced 16 June 
2022 

Fixed monthly fee of $20,833.33 per calendar month   3 months notice 

*Mr Kabunga is a Director and shareholder of Kabunga Holdings Pty Ltd. 
From the period 1 July 2021 to 23 March 2022, Mr Warwick Davies was Managing Director and was responsible for 
the day-to-day operations of the Group. The Group had an agreement with Fairstone Holdings Pty Ltd* to provide the 
services of Mr Davies to the Company in relation to its activities on normal commercial terms and conditions, which are 
detailed as follows: 

Terms of Agreement 

Remuneration excluding GST 

Termination benefit 

Agreement  commenced  31  August 
2011  for  3  years,  extended  to  31 
March 2016.   
Services  continue  to  be  provided 
under 
this  agreement  since  31 
March 2016. 

$14,400 per calendar month based on a minimum of 
216  business  days  per  annum  plus  $100  per  hour 
there-after. 
However, to assist in reducing costs, Mr Davies has 
not  invoiced  the  minimum  monthly  amount,  and 
instead  charged  his  time  at  $100/hour,  which  has 
resulted in a significantly lower monthly cost for the 
Company.  During  the  year,  Mr  Davies  was  paid  a 
total of $65,420 in consulting fees.  

3 months notice 

*Mr Davies is a Director and shareholder of Fairstone Holdings Pty Ltd.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
for the year ended 30 June 2022 
_____________________________________________________________________________ 

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

These consolidated statements and notes represent those of Resource Mining Corporation Limited (“Company”) and 
controlled entities (the “Group”). Resource Mining Corporation Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and 
domiciled in Australia. 

The financial report was authorised for issue on 30th September 2022 by the Board of Directors. 

(a) 

Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies 

The  financial  report  is  a  general  purpose  financial  report  that  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian 
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting  Standards  Board  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  The  Group  is  a  for  profit  entity  for  financial  reporting 
purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.  The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost 
basis. 

Material accounting  policies  adopted  in the preparation  of  this  financial  report are  presented  below  and  have  been 
consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. The functional currency of Resource Mining 
Corporation  Limited  and  its  subsidiaries  is  Australian  dollars,  except  for  Eastern  Nickel  Tanzania  whose  functional 
currency is Tanzanian Shillings. 

(b) 

Statement of Compliance 

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board. 

(c) 

Going Concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal 
business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. 

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a profit of $2,913,126 and had net cash outflows from 
operating activities of $555,420. At 30 June 2022, the Company had $1,728,598 in cash and cash equivalents. For the 
Group to continue to carry out its exploration activities, meet its expenditure requirements and continue as a going 
concern it is dependent on securing additional funding. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty 
that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.    

For  the  Group  to  be  able  to continue to carry  out its  exploration  activity  and  to  have  sufficient  working  capital,  it  is 
dependent on the financial support from its shareholders to fund its working capital requirements and/or successfully 
raising capital. The Directors are satisfied they will be able to raise additional working capital as required and thus it is 
appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position, the Directors have 
considered the following matters: 

•  Ongoing financial support from shareholders;  

•  Successfully raising funds through debt and/or equity. The Group had successfully raised $2,141,279 (before 
costs) via Placements, and raised $40,000 via the exercise of unlisted options during the year, which supports 
the Group’s ability to raise capital if required; and  

• 

The ability to reduce expenditure, where required. In the event that funding of an amount required to meet the 
future  budgeted  operational  and  investing  activities  of  the  Company  is  unavailable,  the  Directors  would 
undertake steps to scale down its operations and reduce its discretionary expenditure in order to curtail cash 
outflows. 

The  Directors  have assessed  the  cash  flow  requirements  for  the  12-month period  from  the  date  of approval  of  the 
financial statements and its impact on the Group and believe there will be sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working 
capital requirements. 

Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its 
liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial 
statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification 
of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

(d) 

New and Amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations 

Early adoption of accounting standards 

The  Group  has  not  elected  to  apply  any  pronouncements  before  their  operative  date  in  the  annual  reporting  year 
beginning 1 July 2021. 

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period for which the Group has 
adopted.  None of these standards had a material effect on the Group. 

New and amended standards not yet adopted by the Group 
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 2022. The Group’s 
assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the 
Group, are set out below. 

AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current 

AASB 2020-1 makes amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify requirements for the 
presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or noncurrent. A liability is classified as current 
if the entity has no right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement for the liability for at least 12 months after 
the reporting period. The AASB recently issued amendments at AASB 101 to clarify the requirements for classifying 
liabilities as current. Specifically: • clarifying that the classification of a liability as either current or non-current is based 
on the entity’s rights at the end of the reporting period; • stating that management’s expectations around whether they 
will defer settlement or not does not impact the classification of the liability; • adding guidance about lending conditions 
and how these can impact classification; and • including requirements for liabilities that can be settled using an entity’s 
own instruments.  This new standard is not expected to impact the Group’s reporting. 

There are no other material new or amended standards not yet adopted by the Group. 

(e) 

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

Estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report are continually evaluated and are based on historical 
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and 
are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. 

Commitments - Exploration 
The  Group  has  certain  minimum  exploration  commitments  to  maintain  its  right of  tenure to  its’  exploration permits. 
These commitments require estimates of the cost to perform exploration work required under this permit.   

Discount rate on borrowings 
As some of the Company’s borrowings are on interest-free terms, present value calculations have been performed on 
the basis of an implied 14% discount rate as determined by the Directors. 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic 
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may 
have, on the Group based on known information. Currently there is no significant impact upon the financial statements 
or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the 
reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 

Share based payment transactions  
The Company 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 an internal valuation using a 
Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the assumptions detailed in Note 18.  
For equity transactions with consultants and other employees, the fair value reflects the value attributable to services 
where applicable. Where there is no quantifiable value of services the value of options is calculated using the Black 
and Scholes option pricing model, or the quoted bid price where applicable.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
for the year ended 30 June 2022 
_____________________________________________________________________________ 

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued 

(f) 

Principles of Consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  Resource  Mining 
Corporation Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) as at 30 June each year and the results of all subsidiaries for the  

year then ended.  Resource Mining Corporation Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial 
statements as the “Group”. 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Company has control. The Company controls 
an entity when the Company 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 deconsolidated from the date that 
control ceases. 

All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have 
been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure 
consistency with those adopted by the parent entity. 

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated Statement 
of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Financial Position 
respectively. 

(g) 

Foreign Currency Transaction and Balances 

Functional and presentation currency 

The functional currency of each of the entities in the Group is measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates. The Group’s financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which 
is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. 

Transaction and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of 
the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. 

Exchange differences arising on the transaction of monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent 
that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange differences are recognised in the Statement 
of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 

Controlled entities 

The  financial  results  and  position of  foreign operations  whose  functional  currency is  different  from  the  presentation 
currency are translated as follows: 

• 
• 
• 

assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; 
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and 
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction. 

Exchange  differences  arising  on  translation  of  foreign  operations  are  transferred  directly  to  the  foreign  currency 
translation reserve in the Statement of Financial Position. These differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit 
or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which the operation is disposed of. 

2.  SALE OF SUBSIDIARY 

On  12  August  2021,  the  Company’s  subsidiary,  Resource  Exploration  Pty  Ltd  (REX),  signed  a  Share  Purchase 
Agreement (SPA) with Regency Mines Australasia Pty Ltd (Purchaser) to sell 100% of the issued share capital in REX’s 
subsidiary, Niugini Nickel Pty Ltd (NN).  NN owns 100% of the Wowo Gap Nickel Laterite Project in Papua New Guinea.  
Regency Mines Australasia Pty Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of unrelated party, Corcel plc.  As consideration for 
the sale, Corcel released all liabilities and obligations in connection with its $4,761,087 of loans owing by the Company.  
The Company obtained the approval of its Shareholders at a Shareholder meeting held on 8 October 2021.  On 18 
October 2021, the sale was completed.

Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  profit  or  loss  attributable  to  equity  holders  of  the  Company, 
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 year.  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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of 
all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

5. 

INCOME TAX 

The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or 
disallowable items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the reporting 
date. 

Deferred  tax  is  accounted  for  using  the  balance  sheet  liability  method  in  respect  of  temporary  differences  arising 
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statements. No deferred income 
tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there 
is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.  Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply 
to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case 
the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. 

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against 
which deductible temporary difference can be utilised. 

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no 
adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future 
assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the 
law. 

(a)  Income Tax Expense 

A  reconciliation  of  income  tax  (benefit)  /  expense  applicable  to 
accounting profit before income tax at the statutory income tax rate to 
income  tax  expense  at  the  Company’s  effective  income  tax  rate  is  as 
follows: 
Profit/(loss) before tax 
Prima facie income tax (benefit) @ 30%  
Add: 
Non deductible expenses 
Temporary differences and losses not recognised 
Non-assessable income 
Tax differential 
Income tax (benefit) / expense attributable to operating loss

Tax Consolidation 

The Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries have formed a tax consolidated group. Under the tax consolidation 
regime, all members of a tax consolidated group are jointly and severally liable for the tax consolidated group’s income 
tax liabilities. The head entity of the tax consolidated group is Resource Mining Corporation Limited. 

(b)  Net Deferred Tax Assets Not Recognised Relate to the Following: 

Unrecognised deferred tax assets / (liabilities): 
Deferred Tax Assets/(Liabilities) – Other Timing Differences, net 
Deferred Tax Assets – Business related costs – P&L

these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can utilise 
the benefits. 

** Includes all carry forward Exploration Expenditure for PNG (these losses expire 20 years after being incurred).

Receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost,  less  provision  for 
doubtful debts. Current receivables for GST are due for settlement within 30 days (Australian GST) and 12 months for 
PNG GST, and other current receivables within 12 months. Cash on deposit is not due for settlement until rights of 
tenure are forfeited or performance obligations are met. 

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 Australia and the Internal Revenue Commission in Papua New 
Guinea. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an 
item of the expenses. 

Receivables and payables are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the 
taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables. 

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 taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

9.  PLANT AND EQUIPMENT 

Each  class  of  plant  and  equipment  is  carried  at  cost,  less  where  applicable,  any  accumulated  depreciation  and 
impairment losses. 

Plant and equipment: 
Plant and equipment are measured on historical cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost 
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 
when it is probable that future consolidated benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the 
item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and 
Other Comprehensive Income during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation: 
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a reducing balance commencing from the time the asset 
is held ready for use. 

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset          Depreciation Rate 
Plant and Equipment         10 – 50% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting 
period. 

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is 
greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains and  losses on disposals  are  determined  by comparing  proceeds  with the  carrying amount. These gains and 
losses are included in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

10.  TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which 
are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition. Trade and other payables 
are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date.

except for payables to Directors and their related entities for remuneration.   

11. 

INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES 

Borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  incurred.  Borrowings  are  subsequently 
measured  at  amortised  costs.  Any  difference  between  the  proceeds  (net  of  transaction  costs)  and  the  redemption 
amount is recognised in profit of loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid 
on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan, capitalised as a prepayment and 
amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the 
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

12.  NON-INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES - continued 

In the prior year, for accounting purposes the value of loans due to Sinom were discounted by applying a market interest 
rate  of  14%  with  an  assumed  repayment  date  of  31  December  2022.  The  measurement  of  the  loans  at  fair  value 
resulted in a gain of $88,933 recorded in equity to the Capital Contribution Reserve for the year ended 30 June 2021. 
As a result of the effective interest calculation, $68,777 of finance costs were recorded during the year ended 30 June 
2022 (2021: $20,156). 

In November 2021, the unsecured loans due to Sinom were assigned to Kabunga Holdings Pty Ltd. As at 30 June 2022

Voting and dividend rights 
Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number 
of shares held. At shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise 
each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands. 

Capital management 
When  managing  capital,  management's  objective  is  to  ensure  the  entity  continues  as  a  going  concern  as  well  as 
maintains optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a 
capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity. 

Management may in the future adjust the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital and issue 
further shares in the market. There are no plans to distribute dividends in the next year. 

Dividends 
The Group did not pay nor declare dividends in the last financial year (2021: nil).

On 31 January 2022 the Company issued 2,000,000 options with an expiry of 31 January 2025 and an exercise price 
of $0.02 for lead consultant services in respect to capital raising. The estimated fair value of each share option 
granted is $0.0141. This was calculated by applying a Black Scholes option pricing model. The model inputs were the 
share price at grant date of $0.017, exercise price of $0.02, expected volatility of 162.86 percent, no expected 
dividends, contractual life of 3 years, and a risk-free interest rate of 1.19 percent. To allow for the effects of early 
exercise, it was assumed that the lead consultant would exercise the options after vesting date when the share price 
was twice the exercise price. Historical volatility was 817.55 percent, which includes the early years of the Company’s 
life; the Company expects the volatility of tis share price to reduce as it matures. 

On 24 May 2022 the Company issued 8,000,000 options with an expiry of 4 May 2025 and an exercise price of 
$0.10, to a consultant for corporate advisory and investor relations support. The estimated fair value of each share 
option granted is $0.0683. This was calculated by applying a Black Scholes option pricing model. The model inputs 
were the share price at grant date of $0.09, exercise price of $0.10, expected volatility of 135.83 percent, no 
expected dividends, contractual life of 3 years, and a risk-free interest rate of 2.80 percent. To allow for the effects of 
early exercise, it was assumed that the lead consultant would exercise the options after vesting date when the share 
price was twice the exercise price. Historical volatility was 817.55 percent, which includes the early years of the 
Company’s life; the Company expects the volatility of its share price to reduce as it matures. 

The fair value at grant date of the options has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula, taking 
into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The options vested immediately upon 
issue and the contractual life of each option is 3 years. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of these options are 
set out above. The expected volatility is based on the historic volatility (calculated based on the weighted average 
remaining life of the share options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available 
information. The following table outlines the number and movements in share options during the year:

23. 

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (including currency risk), credit risk 
and liquidity risks. 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 business. To date, the Group has 
not used derivative financial instruments. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which 
it is exposed. 

Risk Management 

Risk management is carried out by the Managing Director under policies approved by the Board of Group’s Directors 
and includes evaluation of financial risks. The Board provides principles for overall risk management and the finance 
function provides policies with regard to financial risk management that are defined and consistently applied. 

(a)  Credit Risk 

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or contract, leading to 
a financial loss. The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at reporting 
date, is the carrying amount net of any provisions for impairment of debts, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial 
Position  and  notes  to  the  financial  statement.    In  the  case  of  material  cash  deposited,  credit  risk  is  minimised  by 
depositing with recognised financial intermediaries such as banks, subject to Australian Prudential Regulation Authority 
Supervision.  For banks  and  financial  institutions,  only  independently  rated  parties  with a minimum  rating  of  AA  are 
accepted. 

The  Group  does  not  have  any  material  risk  exposure  to  any  single  debtor  or  Group  of  debtors  under  financial 
instruments entered into by it. 

(b)  Liquidity and Capital Risk 

The Group has appropriate procedures in place to manage cash flows including continuous monitoring of forecast and 
actual cash flows to ensure funds are available to meet commitments.  The objectives when managing the Group’s 
capital is to safeguard the business as a going concern, to maximise returns to shareholders and to maintain an optimal 
capital structure in order to reduce the cost of capital.  The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into 
relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period from the reporting date to the contractual maturity date.

* The fair value of non-interest bearing liabilities is considered the same as the carrying value as the time value of 
money from the date the debt was assigned to the date it will be repaid via issue of shares will not be material.  

(c) 

Interest Rate Risk 

The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to interest on deposits with banking 
institutions.  The sensitivities of a movement in interest rates have no material impact on the Group due to the small 
balances that are interest bearing.   

(d)  Foreign Exchange Risk 

As a result of operations in Tanzania in both United States dollars and Tanzanian shillings, the Group’s Statement of 
Financial Position can be affected by movements in exchange rates. The Group does not hedge this exposure.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT - continued 

The Group manages its foreign exchange risk by constantly reviewing its exposure to commitments payable in foreign 
currency and ensuring appropriate cash balances are maintained in Tanzanian shillings, to meet current operational 
commitments. 

The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk for changes in exchange rates relates has no material impact on the 
Group due to the small balances of cash, receivables and payables.   

Management  believes  the  balance  date  risk  exposures are representative  of  the  risk  exposure  inherent  in  financial 
instruments. 

(e)  Net Fair Values 

Disclosure of fair value measurements by level are as follows: 

•  Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets 
•  Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable 

for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) 

•  Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market 

data 

Fair values of other financial instruments 

The carrying value of assets and liabilities, due to their short term nature, are assumed to approximate their fair value 
other than the following non-interest bearing liabilities.  These borrowings are on interest-free terms, and accordingly  
present value calculations have been performed on the basis of an implied 14% discount rate as determined by the 
Directors.

Operating  segments  are  reported  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the internal  reporting  provided  to  the chief  operating 
decision  maker.  The  chief  operating  decision  maker,  who  is  responsible  for  allocating  resources  and  assessing 
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director. 

Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the board of directors that

the mining industry and its operations are located within Papua New Guinea and Tanzania. The Tanzanian operations 
are not material for the year. The Board of Directors review internal management reports on a regular basis that is 
consistent with the information provided in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Resource Mining Corporation Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Resource Mining Corporation Limited (the Company) and its
subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at
30 June 2022, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the
consolidated statement of 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)

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)

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.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 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 (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO
International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability
limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1(c) 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.

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.

Accounting for disposal of subsidiary

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial
Report, the Group disposed of its interests
in Niugini Nickel Pty Ltd (NNPL), a
controlled entity of wholly owned
subsidiary Resource Exploration Pty Ltd
(REX) on 18 October 2021.

The accounting treatment applied to this
disposal is a key audit matter due to the
complexity and significance associated
with the determination of the fair value of
the sale consideration which comprised re-
assignment of debt at date of disposal.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to the
following:

•

•

•

•

•

Reviewing the share purchase agreement to
understand the key terms and conditions of the
transaction;

Assessing the carrying value of the disposed assets
and liabilities of the subsidiary at the date of
disposal;

Assessing the fair value of consideration received
and verifying to supporting documentation;

Re-performing the calculation of the gain on
disposal of subsidiary by comparing the
consideration received to the carrying value of the
identified assets and liabilities as at 18 October
2021; and

Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures
in Note 2 to the Financial Report.

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 2022, 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
other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the 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 (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:

https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf
