Resources & Energy Group Limited
Directors' Report

Mount Mackenzie
The Mount Mackenzie Gold Project is located 150km north west of Rockhampton, Queensland. The project includes a 
28.4km2 tenement package held by the Group. 

During the financial year the company acquired an airborne hyperspectral survey, which has been completed over the 
company’s tenement holdings and the results of the survey are currently being assessed.  Initial evaluation has 
identified low PH alteration assemblages, which are the signature of high sulphidation epithermal mineralisation.  
These alteration assemblages are coincident with surface gold, copper, lead and zinc soil geochemical anomalies 
previously announced over the Clive Creek area.  Significantly, comparable alteration has been identified over the 
Mount Mackenzie mineral resource area.  The survey work has highlighted a number of areas within the Mount 
Mackenzie prospect area, which have not been previously drill tested, and are being evaluated.

Planning work associated with a program of diamond and reverse circulation drilling at Mount Mackenzie has also been 
prepared to test weathering limits and the extent of primary mineralisation beneath the North Knoll and SW Slopes 
prospects.  Exploration planning associated with testing mineralisation associated with the Clive Creek prospects 
(Quinine Gully and Sphinx) has also been completed.

East Menzies
The East Menzies Gold Project was acquired during the year for total consideration of $2.1 million is located 130km 
north of Kalgoorlie. The project has a collective surface area of 103km2 and consists of over 46 tenements, a mxiture 
of mining lease’s, mining lease applications, prospecting lease’s and prospecting lease applications. These mining and 
exploration instruments are host to a 20km continuous strike of a mineralised Greenstone Belt, including the 
Springfield Venn Gold Corridor, and the Goodenough Syncline.  

Since acquisition a total of 194 soil samples have been collected from a number of tenements for mobile metal Ion 
analysis which were subject to assay analysis. Work on compiling and evaluating historical exploration data has 
commenced, and the Company is in the process of assembling a complete data base representing all historical and 
recent exploration data.  The database includes data from 13,895 holes, 17,090 geochemcial samples and 97,502 
assay intervals.

An analysis of the drilling data acquired has highlighted the overall shallow tenor of previous exploration.  This historical 
approach to drilling shallow drill holes has highlighted areas of near surface mineralisation, however, there still remains 
signifant exploration potential for further discoveries at depth and within areas that have yet to be drill tested. A review 
of the open file multi element geochemical data as well as information contained within the project databases, has 
revealed large coincident gold, arsenic, lead and sulphur anomalies within the Menzies tenement package. Many of 
these have never been followed up by modern drillng. The geochemical samples when incorported into the database 
show areas that have known gold deposits, such as Granny Venn-Caesar which has a very consistant and focused 
gold-in-soil response. 

All historical projects within the Menzies region were imported into a 3D geology program and their data validated to 
identifiy missing data and data errors.  The projects include Granny Venn, Caesar, Jenny Venn, Goodenough, Maranoa 
and Gigante Grande as well as many other smaller prospects.  Each of the projects have had drilling planned to extend 
the known mineralistion down dip and or along strike.

The Company undertook a capital raising and restructure of its financial position to facilitate development of its mining 
interests, which included the issue of its ordinary shares for cash, settlement of existing debts and payables and as 
partial settlement for the acquisition of 100% of Menzies Goldfield Pty Limited, a company which has mining tenements 
near the town of Menzies in Western Australia.

As set out in the Operating Results section above, a total of 205,078,225 ordinary shares were issued.

During the financial year, trading of the Company's ordinary shares on the Australian Stock Exchange was subject to a 
voluntary suspension while the Group conducted its financial restructure.  The suspension ended on 28 June 2019.

GOING CONCERN

The directors have prepared financial statements on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of 
normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. At 
30 June 2019, the Group's current assets of $1,074,174 (2018: $177,281) were less than current liabilities of 
$1,659,020 (2018: $2,847,736).

Included in current liabilities is $372,000 being the estimated current portion of unsecured interest bearing liabilities and 
trade payables of $1,251,490.

For the 12 months ended 30 June 2019 the Group reported a loss after taxation of $4,160,253 (2018: $3,431,387), and 
net cash used by operating activities was $1,461,922 (2018: $1,620,994).

Resources & Energy Group Limited
Directors' Report

During the current phase of development the generation of sufficient funds from operating and financing activities in 
accordance with the Group’s current business plan and growth forecasts is dependent on one or more of the following 
matters being successfully realised: 

(i) the availability of equity and financing facilities to fund working capital requirements;

(ii) realising value from its assets through joint ventures or outright sale;

(iii) the ability for the directors  to scale back activities in order to preserve cash when required; and

(iii) continuing financial support from directors or related parties.

The directors are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they are 
satisfied regarding the Group's ability to maintain the continued financial support of its directors, current financiers, 
creditors and shareholders. 

The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset 
amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a 
going concern.  

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

In July 2019 project development notes with a value of $183,000 were repaid together with interest owing and 
3,100,000 related options were cancelled.  It has been agreed to settle the remaining balance owing of $189,000 via 
the issue of 3,780,000 ordinary shares of the Company.

In August 2019 the Company completed a placement of 28,000,000 ordinary shares at 4 cents each raising a total of 
$1,120,000.  Commitments have been obtained for the placement of an additional 47,000,000 ordinary shares at a 
price of 4 cents each raising $1,880,000, subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders.

In August 2019 the Company signed a farm-in agreement in respect of its Radio Gold mining leases with an unrelated 
entity, Sulphide X Limited (SXL).  The agreement provides that SXL will be entitled to a 50% interest in Radio Gold 
after undertaking $4,000,000 in expenditure on exploration and development of the Radio Gold mine over a two year 
period.  SXL may acquire an additional 25% interest in Radio Gold by further expenditure of $2,000,000.  The 
Company has the right to retain a 25% interest in Radio Gold, and will retain 50% of gold sale proceeds after operating 
costs.  Subsequent to the execution of the farm-in agreement, Valor Resources Limited has acquired control of SXL.

There have been no other significant events occurring after the balance date which may affect either the Group's 
operations, results of those operations or the Group's state of affairs.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

Apart from the matters referred to above in the Operating Results for the year other likely developments in the 
operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in subsequent financials years have not been 
included in this report because the directors believe this could result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

Exploration and development activities are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations. The Group has a policy 
of complying with its environmental performance obligations as a minimum, and during the reporting period, there has 
been no known breach of the environment regulations.  The Group is committed to ensuring the activities of its 
business are conducted in a way so as to minimise adverse impacts  on the environment and local communities.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

The remuneration report, which has been audited, outlines the key management personnel remuneration 
arrangements for the consolidated entity, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its 
Regulations.  For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those 
persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, 
including executive and non-executive directors.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2019, KMP consisted of:

Mr Gavin Rezos
Mr Richard Poole
Mr Christian Price
Ms Virginia Bruce
Mr Warren Kember
Mr James Croser

Non-executive director and Chairman
Executive Director 
Acting Chief Executive Officer
Non-executive director
Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary
Non-executive director (resigned 16 October 2018)

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

In order for the Company and Group to prosper and enhance shareholder value, the Group must be able to attract and 
retain the highest calibre of executives.  At this stage of the Group's development, a framework has not been 
developed that links performance and KMP remuneration.  The responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee, which 
have been assumed by the full Board, include reviewing the remuneration of KMP and determining the nature and 
amount of emoluments of KMP on an annual basis.  In conducting this review reference is made to market and industry 
conditions. Remuneration packages, can consist of  base salary, fringe benefits, incentive schemes (including 
performance related bonuses), superannuation, and entitlements upon retirement or termination, are reviewed with due 
regard to performance and other relevant factors. 

Where appropriate, share-based remuneration is provided to encourage KMP to focus on improving shareholder value 
and also to reduce cash costs during the Group's development phase.

The aggregate amount of non-executive director fees is limited to $200,000 per annum as per a resolution of 
shareholders.  For further information, please refer to our corporate governance plan and annual governance 
statement on our web site at www.rezgroup.com.au.

Short-term incentives and long-term incentives

Due to the current size of the Group and the extent of its operations limited short-term incentives, such as performance 
based bonuses or longer term incentives, were provided to KMP other than as shown below.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

Corporate informaton

Resources & Energy Group Limited (the “Company”) is a listed public company incorporated and domiciled 
in Australia. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019 comprise the Company 
and its controlled entities (together referred to as the “Group”). 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company's functional 
and presentation currency.

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 September 2019.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.  These policies have been consistently applied unless 
otherwise noted.

2

a

Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in 
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with 
other requirements of the law.

For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit listed public 
entity.

Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting 
Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the company and the Group comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS').

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except where 
assets or liabilities are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period, as 
explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the 
consideration given in exchange for goods and services. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars.

b

Change in accounting policy

The Group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial 
Instruments on 1 July 2018. Changes to accounting policies are described below. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 introduces a changed process for revenue recognition based on identifying when performance 
obligations are met. Revenue from sale of goods are recognised by the Group when the goods are 
transferred to the customer, namely from the time the customer gains controls of the goods. While this 
represents significant new guidance, the application of AASB 15 is not materially different from the previous 
standard in terms of recognition of revenue from sale of goods (gold). Application of AASB 15 did not impact 
the way in which the Group accounts for revenue from sale of goods. 

20

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 sets out new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities 
and include forward-looking expected loss impairment model. This standard replaces AASB 139 Financial 
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement . The adoption of AASB 9 did not have a significant effect on the 
Groups’ accounting policy relating to financial liabilities. Trade receivables is the only financial asset that has 
been impacted by the adoption of the standard, specifically the measurement basis for the impairment of 
trade receivables which is now based on expected credit loss (ECL). When determining the credit risk for 
trade receivables, the Group uses quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the 
Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment including forward looking information. Given 
the prudent approach to estimating losses on receivables in accordance with the previous standards, the 
Group did not need to adjust the estimated recoverability of trade receivables on transition to AASB 9.

c

Going concern
The directors have prepared financial statements on a going concern basis which contemplates the 
continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal 
course of business. At 30 June 2019, the Group's current assets of $1,074,174 (2018: $177,281) were less 
than current liabilities of $1,659,020 (2018: $2,847,736).

Included in current liabilities is $372,000 being the estimated current portion of unsecured interest bearing 
liabilities and trade payables of $1,251,490.

For the 12 months ended 30 June 2019 the Group reported a loss after taxation of $4,160,253 (2018: 
$3,431,387), and net cash used by operating activities was $1,461,922 (2018: $1,620,994).

During the current phase of development the generation of sufficient funds from operating and financing 
activities in accordance with the Group’s current business plan and growth forecasts is dependent on one or 
more of the following matters being successfully realised: 

(i) the availability of equity and financing facilities to fund working capital requirements;

(ii) realising value from its assets through joint ventures or outright sale;

(iii) the ability for the directors  to scale back activities in order to preserve cash when required; and

(iii) continuing financial support from directors or related parties.

The directors are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they 
are satisfied regarding the Group's ability to maintain the continued financial support of its directors, current 
financiers, creditors and shareholders. 

The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of 
recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the 
Group not continue as a going concern.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

d

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities 
controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Company:

• has power over the investee;
• is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
• has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that 
there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases 
when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary 
acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to 
control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the 
Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the 
owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests 
having a deficit balance.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between 
members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

e

Business combinations 

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in 
a business combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair 
values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners and the 
equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are 
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-
controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the 
acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the 
liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-
controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree 
(if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

f

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, 
and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these 
assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying 
amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

22

Resources & Energy Group Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimate uncertainty at the reporting 
date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates 
on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances 
and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or 
circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when 
they occur.

Carrying value of exploration, evaluation and development assets

The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration, evaluation and mine development where it is 
considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a 
reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no 
reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be 
written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded. 

The Group reclassifies exploration and evaluation expenditure to mine development assets when the Board 
assess that the mine has reached a point where it is certain that extraction of ore will commence in the 
immediate future.

Capitalised expenditure for exploration and evaluation is carried at the end of the reporting period at 
$5,138,321 (2018: $1,712,668). Capitalised expenditure for mine development is carried at the end of the 
reporting period at $3,647,061 (2018: $3,659,784).

Determination of mineral resources and ore reserves

The Group estimates its Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in accordance with the Australasian Code of 
Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (“the JORC Code”). The information 
on mineral resources and ore reserves is prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons as 
defined in the JORC Code. The amounts presented in the statement of Mineral Resources and Ore 
Reserves are determined under the JORC Code where is information is available.  When a resource or 
reserve amount prepared in accordance with the JORC Code for a particular mine is not available, then no 
amounts are disclosed.  For the purposes of impairment testing of assets the Board applies JORC Code 
verified information when it is available, or otherwise management estimates of potential resources.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and ore reserves and 
assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation which may change significantly when new information 
becomes available. Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or 
recovery rates may change the economic status of reserves and may, ultimately, result in the reserves being 
restated. Such changes in reserves could impact depreciation and amortisation rates, asset carrying values 
and impairment assessments. 

Amortisation of mine development expenditure

Mine development costs are amortised on a units of production basis over the life of the mine to which they 
relate and during the financial year costs of $57,640 were amortised.  In applying a units of production 
method, amortisation is calculated using the expected total contained ounces with the mine to achieve a 
consistent amortisation rate per ounce.  To achieve this the amortisation rate is based on the ratio of the 
annual ounces produced over the expected total contained ounces.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group is a going concern, refer to Note 
2(c) for discussion on the basis of this assumption.

Equity component of converting loans

The equity component that arises from the ability of loan providers to convert their loans into ordinary shares 
of the Company is calculated with reference to a market rate of interest.  Due to the lack of a readily available 
debt market for the Company at its stage of development, an estimated market rate has been determined.

Share based payments
The costs of the share-based payments are calculated on the basis of the fair value of the equity instrument 
at grant date.  Determining the fair value assumes choosing the most suitable valuation model for these 
equity instruments, by which the characteristics of the grant have a decisive influence. This assumes also the 
input into the valuation model of some relevant judgments, like the estimated expected life of the share 
option and the market volatility of the Company's ordinary shares.   No share-based payments were issued 
during the year.

The judgments made and the model used are further detailed in Note 18.

g

Revenue recogntion

Current year

The core principle of AASB 15 is that revenue is recognised on a basis that reflects the transfer of promised 
goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to receive in 
exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognised by applying a five-step model as follows:

1.      identifying the contract with a customer;
2.      identifying the performance obligations;
3.      determining the transaction price;
4.      allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
5.      recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.

Sale of goods

Revenue from sales of gold is recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being the point in time 
when the goods have been shipped to the customer. Revenue is only recognised where it is highly probable 
that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur and control gets completely passed on to the customers.

Costs to obtain a contract

Costs incurred that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was won are expensed,
unless those costs are explicitly chargeable to the customer in any case (whether or not the contract is won).

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

Other income
Other income is recognised on an accruals basis when the Company is entitled to it.

Prior year
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when there has been a transfer of the risks and rewards to the 
customers and no further processing is required by the Group, the quality and quantity of the goods has been 
determined with reasonable accuracy, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.  
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable.   Interest revenue is 
recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.  
Other revenue is recognised when the right to receive the revenue has been established.

h

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

i

j

Cash and short-term deposits

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand, 
short-term deposits and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and 
short-term deposits as defined above.

Financial Instruments

Current year
Financial instruments are recognised initially on the date that the Group becomes party to the contractual 
provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus 
transaction costs (except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction 
costs are expensed as incurred).

Financial assets

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair 
value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

25

Resources & Energy Group Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

Classification

On initial recognition, the Group classifies its financial assets at amortised cost. Financial assets are not 
reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing 
financial assets.  Assets measured at amortised cost are financial assets where the business model is to 
hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash 
flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Group's financial 
assets measured at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in 
the statement of financial position. Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are carried at amortised 
cost using the effective interest rate method less provision for impairment.  Interest income, foreign 
exchange gains or losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss.  Gain or loss on derecognition is 
recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

Impairment of financial assets is recognised on an expected credit loss (ECL) basis for financial assets 
measured at amortised cost. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial assets has increased 
significant since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and 
supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort.  This includes both 
quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group's historical experience and informed 
credit assessment and including forward looking information.

Credit losses are measured as the present value of the difference between the cash flows due to the Group 
in accordance with the contract and the cash flows expected to be received.  This is applied using a 
probability weighted approach.

Impairment of trade and other receivables have been determined using the simplified approach in AASB 9 
which uses an estimation of lifetime expected credit losses.  The Group has determined the probability of non-
payment of the receivable and contract asset and multiplied this by the amount of the expected loss arising 
from default.

Financial liabilities

The Group measures all financial liabilities initially at fair value less transaction costs, subsequently financial 
liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The financial liabilities of 
the Group comprise trade and other payables, borrowings and finance lease liabilities.

Prior year

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Group entity becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly 
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets 
and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the 
financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly 
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are 
recognised immediately in profit or loss.

For the year ended 30 June 2019

(i) Financial assets

Financial assets are classified as financial assets as fair value through profit or loss, loans and 
receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, or as derivatives designated 
as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of 
its financial assets at initial recognition based on the nature and purpose of a financial asset.
Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not 
quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated 
by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of 
the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in the income statement in finance costs for loans or other 
operating expenses for receivables.

(ii) Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a 
group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be 
impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred 
since the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred "loss event") and that loss event has an impact on the 
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably 
estimated.

(iii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as trade and other payables, loans and borrowings. The Group 
determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of 
directly attributable transaction costs.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at 
the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in AASB 139 are satisfied. The Group has not 
designated any financial liability as, at fair value through profit or loss.

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are 
derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or 
costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance costs in the income 
statement.

Income tax

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be 
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount 
are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Group 
operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability 
in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither 
the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or 
interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and 
it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax 
credits and unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that 
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of 
unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial 
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the 
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or 
interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is 
probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be 
available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when 
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred 
tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or 

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current 
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable 
entity and the same taxation authority.

l

Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, 
in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense 
item as applicable; and

receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of 
receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows 
arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority 
are classified as operating cash flows.

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

m

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated 
impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of property, plant and equipment and 
borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts 
of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognises such parts as 
individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. Likewise, when a major 
inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a 
replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in 
profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using a combination of straight-line and diminishing-value basis over the estimated 
useful life of all assets.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon 
disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising 
on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed 
at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.  Property, plant and equipment are 
depreciate over periods of three to five years.

n

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation activity involves the search for mineral resources, including gold and copper, and 
includes assessing all available geophysical data including gravity, magnetic and seismic and collation of 
additional data; exploratory drilling; determining and examining the volume and grade of the resource; and 
cost of acquisition of exploration tenements.

29

Resources & Energy Group Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

Administration costs that are not directly attributable to a specific exploration area are charged to the profit or 
loss.  Licence costs paid in connection with a right to explore in an existing exploration area are capitalised 
and  amortised over the term of the permit. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised in respect of 
each  identifiable area of interest as the exploration and evaluation activity has not reached a stage which 
permits a  reasonable assessment of the existence of commercially recoverable gold deposits that are of  
sufficient scale to support the project concept. 

As the asset is not available for use, it is not depreciated. All capitalised exploration and evaluation 
expenditure is monitored for indication of impairment. Where a potential impairment is indicated, assessment 
is performed for  each area of interest in conjunction with the group of operating assets (representing a cash 
generating unit) to  which the exploration is attributed. When production commences, the assets 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.

Accumulated exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to an abandoned area are written-off in full in 
profit and loss in the period in which the decision of abandon the area is made.

Mine development expenditure
Mine development costs include costs incurred in preparing and re-opening mine sites for production. 

Mine development costs are amortised on a units of production basis over the life of the mine to which they 
relate.  In applying a units of production method, amortisation is calculated using the expected total contained 
ounces within the mine to achieve a consistent amortisation rate per ounce.  The amortisation rate is based 
on the ratio of the ounces produced annually over the expected total contained ounces.

Site restoration
Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, 
waste removal and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with the requirements of the mining permits. Such 
costs are determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology.

Costs of site restoration are recognised in full at present value as a non-current liability. An equivalent 
amount is capitalised as part of the cost of the asset when an obligation arises to decommission or restore a 
site to a certain condition after abandonment as a result of bringing the assets to its present location. In 
determining the costs of site restoration there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration 
due to community expectations and future legislation.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If 
any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the 
asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating 
unit's ("CGU's") fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. Recoverable amount is determined for an 
individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from 
other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable 
amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

30

Resources & Energy Group Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019

In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific 
to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account. If 
no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are 
corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair 
value indicators.

The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are 
prepared separately for each of the Group's CGU's to which the individual assets are allocated. These 
budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term 
growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the income statement in expenses.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is 
an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such 
indication exists, the Group estimates the asset's or CGU's recoverable amount. A previously recognised 
impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the 
asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the 
carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that 
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in 
prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the income statement unless the asset is carried at a revalued 
amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

r

Share-based payment transactions

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at 
the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is measured by use of either a binominal or 
Black Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best 
estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. 

Further details on how the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions has been determined can be 
found in Note 18.  No share-based payments were issued during the year.  

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a 
straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will 
eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity.  

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair 
value of the goods and services received, except where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which 
case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity 
obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.  For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability 
equal to the portion of the goods or services received is recognised at the current fair value determined at 
each reporting date, with any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss for the year.

Employee benefits provision

Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the 
reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave, and long service leave.

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other short-term employee benefits 
are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when 
the liability is settled. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated 
future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.  In 
determining the present value of future cash outflows, the market yield as at the reporting date on national 
government bonds, which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability, are used.

t

Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or 
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

u

Comparatives
Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year 
disclosures.

v

New accounting standards for application in future periods

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the  
period.  The Group has adopted all new standards and interpretations which became mandatorily effective 
during the period.  There has been no significant impact on the reported financial position or performance of 
the Group on adoption.

AASB 16 

This standard is effective for reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group will apply 
AASB 16 for the annual period beginning 1 July 2019. 

Leases 

The requirements of this standards will cause the majority of leases to be capitalised onto the statement of 
financial position. There are exceptions relating to short-term leases and low value assets which may remain 
off-balance sheet. The calculation of the lease liability will take into account appropriate discount rates, 
assumptions about lease term and increases in lease payments. A corresponding right to use asset will be 
recognised which will be amortised over the term of the lease.

Exploration licenses are carried at cost of acquisition less impairment losses. The recoverability of the carrying 
amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial 
exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.  The recoverable amount of development 
expenditure is determined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

Borrowings from director related entities were repaid by an issue of shares (refer Note 14).  All borrowings were interest 
free other than a balance of $144,000 which had an interest rate of 8.25% (refer Note 22).  All amounts owing were 
unsecured and repayable on demand.

(ii) Project Development Notes Issue 1
The facility was provided by private financiers (Financiers) and is fully drawn to its committed limit of $372,000.  Interest 
is payable quarterly at the rate of 8.0% per annum.

Any PDN1 borrowing not repaid by the exercise of the attaching option and application of the exercise price to the 
repayment (refer below) is required to be repaid at the earlier of either at the end of 3 years from the date of draw down 
of each advance, or in repayments equal to 50% of the Company's positive pre-tax cash from operations (each quarter) 
until balance owed under the PDN1s and any outstanding interest is repaid in full.

The Company issued 18,566,667 share options concurrently with the initial draw down under PDN1 to the Financiers.  
The share options provide Financiers with the right to subscribe for ordinary shares of the Company (PDN1 Options).  
As a result the net proceeds received from the issue of the PDN1s have been split between a liability and an equity 
component.  The equity component represents the value of the option to convert the liability into equity of the Company.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended 30 June 2019

17 Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives

(a)
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable, loans, 
convertible instruments and derivatives. The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for 
Group operations. The directors consider that the limited risks mean there is no need to enter into risk management 
strategies involving derivative instruments.

The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. There have been no substantive changes in the 
types of risks the Group is exposed to, how these risks arise, or the Board’s objectives, policies and processes for 
managing or measuring the risks from the previous period.

The Group manages liquidity risk by a combination of maintaining cash reserves, banking facilities and continuously 
monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.  Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of 
directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, 
medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements.  Risks are managed through sensitivity 
analysis to model the impact of changes upon the Group’s profits.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date of 
recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed 
in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

(b)

Significant accounting policies

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of 
measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, 
financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements.

Fair value of financial instruments

(c)
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:  

-

-

the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active 
liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices; and

the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted 
pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

(d) Categories of financial instruments

The following table details the carrying amounts and fair values of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities. 
The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the 
financial statements approximate their fair values.

(i) Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 
based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

Level 1 - fair value measurements are those derived from quoted sources (unadjusted) in active markets for 
identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset of 
liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The fair value of derivative instruments is significantly affected by movements in interest rates.  Sensitivity of the 
valuation of the derivative liabilities to changes in these factors is shown below at item (j).

(e) Credit risk exposures

Credit risk arises principally from the Group’s receivables and cash and bank balances.  Credit risk is kept continually 
under review and managed to reduce the incidence of material losses being incurred by the non-receipt of monies due.  
The Group’s financial assets include trade and other receivables and loans to related entities.   

The maximum exposure to credit risk on financial assets of the Group which has been recognised on the balance 
sheets is generally the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts. The Group has no significant 
concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties.  The Group's financial assets are 
limited to credit risk exposures to Australia on a geographical basis.  Trade and other receivables that are neither past 
due nor impaired are limited to a few counterparties which are considered credit worthy.

The board has put in place liquidity risk management policies for the management of the Group’s short, medium and 
long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by having a combination 
of:

-
-
-

continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows;
having in place loan facilities structured to grow as the size of the business increases; and 
arranging issues of securities as required.

To the extent possible maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities are matched.  

The board reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. The board does not have a set debt level target however the 
level of borrowings is in line with expectations.

The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The 
tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on 
which the Group could be required to pay. The table includes principal and interest cash flows at the face value of the 
amount owing and therefore the figures differ from those shown in the financial statements.

(g)

Interest rate 

The Group has borrowed funds at fixed rate of interest and therefore currently has limited exposure to movements in 
interest rates.

(h) Foreign 

At its current stage of development the Group is indirectly exposed to foreign currency risk, in respect of the market 
price for gold which is based in US dollars.

(i) Commodity 

At its current stage of development the Group is indirectly exposed to commodity price risk, in respect of the market 
price for gold.

(j)   Sensitivity analysis of risk factors

At 30 June 2019, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in interest rates, with all other 
variables remaining constant, would not have a material impact.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT   
TO THE MEMBERS OF RESOURCES AND ENERGY GROUP LIMITED 

Opinion 
We have audited the financial report of Resources and Energy Group Limited, and its controlled entities (the 
Group),  which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2019,  the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of 
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a 
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the Directors’ Declaration 
of the Company. 

In our opinion: 

the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Resources  and  Energy  Group  Limited  is  in  accordance  with  the 
Corporations Act 2001, including: 

a)  Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s consolidated financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of 

its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and 

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

Basis for Opinion 
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial 
Statements 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 APES110 
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report 
in Australia; and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  We believe 
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern  
We draw your attention to Note 2(c) in the financial report which indicates that the Group incurred a loss 
before tax of $4,160,253 (2018: $3,431,387) during the year ended 30 June 2019 and, as at that date, the 
Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $84,847 (2018:$ 2,670,455). As started in Note 2(c) 
these events or conditions, along with other matters set out in Note 2(c), indicate that a material uncertainty 
exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not 
modified in respect of this matter. 

No adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability or classification of the 
recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that maybe necessary should the Group not continue 
as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT (continued) 

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our 
audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit 
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is 
provided in that context. 

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial 
Report  section  of  our  report,  including  in  relation  to  these  matters.  Accordingly,  our  audit  included  the 
performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of 
the  financial  statements.  The  results  of  our  audit  procedures,  including  the  procedures  performed  to 
address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report. 

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed the matter 

Exploration and evaluation costs 

The statement of financial position of the group includes 
exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  of  $5,138,321.  
The  assessment  of  the  recoverability  of  exploration 
assets  incorporates  significant  judgement  in  respect  of 
factors  such  as  strategy  to  recover  them,  availability  of 
sufficient capital, future production prospects and levels, 
commodity prices, operating and capital availability and 
costs  and  economic  assumptions  such  as  discount, 
inflation, and foreign exchange rates. 

This  is  a  key  audit  matter  due  to  the  materiality  of  the 
item and the judgements involved. 

Mine Development costs and amortisation  

The statement of financial position of the group includes 
mine  development  expenditure  of  $3,647,061,  after 
accumulated  amortisation  of  $57,640  at  30  June  2019. 
The  assessment  of  the  recoverability 
incorporates 
significant  judgement  in  respect  of  factors  such  as 
strategy  to  recover  them,  continuity  of  production 
prospects  and  levels,  commodity  prices,  operating  and 
capital availability and costs and economic assumptions 
such as discount, inflation, and foreign exchange rates.  

This  is  a  key  audit  matter  due  to  the  materiality  of  the 
item and the judgements involved. 

Our procedures included:  

• 

• 

Testing the design and operation of internal controls 
over  valuation  of  these  assets  including  those  to 
determine any impairments;  
Evaluating  the  Group’s  assumptions  and  estimates 
used to determine the recoverable amount of assets, 
including  those  relating  to  method  of  recovery, 
production, cost, capital expenditure, discount rates 
and foreign exchange rates; 

•  Validating  the  mathematical  accuracy  of  cashflow 
models  and  agreeing  relevant  data  to  underlying 
information and assumptions; and 

•  Assessing the Group’s disclosures in respect of asset 

carrying values and impairment testing.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT (continued) 

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed the matter 

Estimation of Minerals and Ore Reserves  

During the year, the group amortised mine development 
costs by  $22,635,  leading to  a carrying value at 30 June 
2019 $3,647,061, based on units of production over the 
estimated  life  of  the  mine,  which  is  based  on  the 
estimation of minerals and Ore reserves. 

Estimation  of  mineral  resource  and  ore  reserves  is 
determined  in  accordance  with  the  JORC  code  by  a 
competent  person.  There  are  inherent  uncertainties  in 
estimating  mineral  resources  and  ore  reserves,  and 
assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may 
change  significantly  as  new 
information  becomes 
available.  These estimations can have a material effect on 
the financial report such as:  

a)  Classification  of  assets  into  exploration  and 
evaluation, or development and production;  

b)  Testing fair value of asset for impairment;  
c)  Estimating the useful life or units of production 
to  determine  the  appropriate  amortisation 
charge; and  
d)  Calculation 
provisions.

of 

This is a key audit matter due to the materiality of the item 
and the judgements involved. 

Loss on conversion of Project disclosure Note  

During  the  year  the  Group  converted  $4,396,000  of 
Project Development Note (PDN)’s to equity. Due to the 
early conversion of the loans to equity the group incurred 
loss  on  conversion  of  $2,715,524.  The  options  issued 
under the original PDN facility were replaced with the new 
conditions as a result of early settlement.  

This amendment impacted a number of accounting areas 
such as financial liabilities, finance costs, and the equity 
instrument component.  

This  is  a  key  audit  matter  due  to  the  impact  across  a 
number of financial statement areas and the materiality 
of the item.   

Provision for site restoration obligations  

The Statement of Financial Position of the Group includes 
a provision for site restoration of $1,099,098 at 30 June 
2019.  The group  has obligations to restore  the land on 
which it has conducted drilling activities. The provision is 
for  future  costs  associated  with  the  rehabilitation 
activities and requires significant judgement in respect of 
asset  lives,  timing  of  restoration  being  undertaken  and 
environmental legislation requirements. 

This is a key audit matter due to the significant judgement 
involved and the materiality of the item.   

Our procedures were in accordance with ASA 620 Using 
the Work of an Auditors Expert, and included; 

•  Assessing 

the  competency  and  objectivity  of 
internal  and  external 

management  expert  (both 
experts) in the estimation process; 
•  Evaluating the adequacy of the work; 
•  Understanding the process and controls surrounding 

the estimation process; and 

•  Considering  whether  recognition  of  a  provision  for 
mine rehabilitation at balance date was required.  
•  Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in 

respect of this area.  

Our procedures included:  

• 

Reviewing  the  terms  of  the  early  conversion  of 
PDN’s; 

•  Agreeing  the

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed the matter 

Related party transactions  

Related party transactions are required to be conducted 
on arms-length basis. The Group has entered into various 
related party transactions throughout the year.  

In  the  absence  of  agreements  required  supporting 
documents,  the  nature  of  transactions  can  be  deemed 
subjective  in  nature  and  may  not  be  fair.  Due  to  the 
significant number of related party transactions, this was 
deemed significant.   

Our procedures included:  

• 

Reviewing terms and conditions of related party 
agreements. 

•  Understanding  the  nature  of  transactions  and 
whether  it  was  deemed  to  be  at  arms-length 
basis.  
Ensuring  through  board  meeting  minutes  that 
the  agreements  are  approved  by  the  board  of 
directors as a whole.

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
included in the annual report to shareholders for the year ended 30 June 2019 (Annual Report) which is not 
included in the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2019 and our auditor’s report thereon. The annual 
report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.  

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 
identified  above  when  it  becomes  available  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.  

When  we  read  the  other  information,  if  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  other 
information, we are required to report that matter.  

Directors’ Responsibilities 
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 Group’s ability to continue 
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern 
basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or have no 
realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT (continued) 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated 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 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. 

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

• 

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

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

•  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in 
the preparation of the financial report. We also conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, 
whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to  events  and  conditions  that  may  cast  significant 
doubt  on  the  entity’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material 
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditor’s report to the disclosures in the 
financial report about the material uncertainty or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the 
opinion on the financial report. However, future events or conditions may cause an entity to cease 
to continue as a going concern. 

•  Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial  report,  including  the 
disclosures,  and  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  represent  the  underlying 
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 
business  activities  within  the  Group  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report.  We  are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely 
responsible for our audit opinion. 

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

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT (continued) 

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

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

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 11 to 14 of the Directors' Report for the year 
ended 30 June 2019. 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Resources and Energy Group Limited for the year ended 30 
June 2019, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

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

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Robert Nielson.
