Operating Results for the Year

Financial results
The profit after tax of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2022 was $162,157 (2021: Loss $1,472,288).  The 
result included other income of $3,353,130 being the Group's 50% share of the net operating profit from an 
agreement with a contracting entity for the the extraction and sale of gold from the East Menzies Project.

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. 

Located within the Connors Magmatic Arc of the New England Fold Belt region, the broader area has produced 
over 50 million ounces of  gold and large amounts of copper and silver.  The region is acknowledged as the 
largest high sulphuration epithermal systems in Eastern Australia, comparable with those associated with major 
gold-copper porphyry systems around the world.

During the financial year further exploration work resulted in the upgrading and expanding the JORC Resource 
to 3.42Mt at 1.18gpt gold and 9.0gpt silver for a total of 129 oz gold and 862 oz silver.  The Group released an 
updated scoping study confirming a potential low-cost gold project, generating 43,000 ounces of gold with a 
possible $54 million in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation from a $13 million capital 
investment.

The scoping study investigated a range of production and processing options and identifies a 300,000 tonnes 
per annum open cut development with an onsite gold plant as the most appropriate case for the progression of 
the project to Feasibility Study. The processing plant is proposed to be a low-cost modular crushing, grinding 
and CIL circuit.

An evaluation of MMGP indicates it would be a technically low risk operation supported by strong economic 
performance. The scoping study has also identified opportunity for a staged increase in plant capacity to 
500,000 tonnes per annum, and introducing a flotation circuit for recovery of a gold concentrate from the 
treatment of primary ore. This option requires further investigation but has potential to recover a larger part of 
the primary resource than currently envisaged.

A mineral development licence has been formally granted over the entire MMGP area, which encompasses the 
current project area and all land required for its development.

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 is located 130km north of Kalgoorlie, with a collective surface area of 103km2 
and consists of over 50 tenements, a mixture of mining leases, mining lease applications, prospecting leases 
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 geochemical 
samples and 97,502 assay intervals.

Directors' Report

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 significant 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 drilling. The geochemical 
samples when incorporated into the database show areas that have known gold deposits, such as Granny Venn-
Caesar which has a very consistent 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 identify 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 mineralisation down dip and or along strike. 

During the financial year the Granny Venn Cutback venture (GVCB) was completed.  The GVCB was the first 
mining operations to take place at the Granny Venn site since 1998. The production target forecast by the 
Company was exceeded with the recovery of 126kt of ore with an estimated head grade of 2.37gt/au for 9,532 
oz being recovered.  In late June the Company received its share of the net operating profit from the project, 
and a total of $3.35 million was recorded as other income.

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.

Corporate information

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 2022 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 30 September 2022.

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

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.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

b

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for 
the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not 
yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

c

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.

Annual Report
June 2022

18

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

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.

d

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.

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 
$9,525,406 (2021: $8,933,030).

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.

Annual Report
June 2022

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

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. 

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 17.

e

Revenue recognition

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).

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

f

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

g

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.

h

Financial Instruments

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.

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.

(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.

(ii) 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.

(iii) 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.

(iv) 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.

(v) 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

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.

i

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 

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.

For the year ended 30 June 2022

j

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.

k

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 depreciated over periods of three to five years.

l

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.

Annual Report
June 2022

24

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

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.

m

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.

n

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 

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.

Annual Report
June 2022

25

 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

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.

o

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 17.  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.  

p

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.

q

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.

The Group has estimated tax losses as at the 30 June 2022 of $20,986,371 (2021: $18,927,013). The 
benefit relating to these and the current year losses has not been recognised in the financial report at 30 
June 2022 as it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group would 
be able to utilise these losses.

Tax returns for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2022 are in progress at the date of this report.

Current and prior year tax losses will only be available to offset against future profits if:

(i) the Group and the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount 
sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;

(ii) the Group and the Company continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax 
legislation; and
(iii) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group and the Company in realising the benefit 
The Company and its wholly owned entities have not formed a consolidated income tax group as of 30 
June 2022.

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.

16 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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT  
To the Members of Resources & Energy Group Limited and its controlled subsidiaries 

Opinion 
We have audited the financial report of Resources & Energy Group 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 
statements, 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 then ended; 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 auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial 
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to 
the directors of the 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. 

Key Audit Matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial 
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation 
Refer to Note 10 in the financial statements 

As  disclosed  in  note  10,  the  Group  held  capitalized 
exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  of  $9,525,406 
as at 30 June 2022 which represents a significant asset 
of the Group. 

We  consider  the  carrying  amount  of  these  assets 
under  AASB  6  Exploration  for  and  Evaluation  of 
Mineral Resources to be a key audit matter due to the 
significant  management 
involved, 
including:  

judgments 

• whether 

the  exploration  and  evaluation
spend can be associated with finding specific
mineral  resources,  and  the  basis  on  which
that  expenditure  is  allocated  to  an  area  of
interest

•

the Group's ability and intention to continue
to explore the area

• which costs should be capitalised
•

the  existence  of  any  impairment  indicators
(such  as  the  potential  that mineral  reserves
and  resources  may  not  be  commercially
viable  for  extraction,  or  that  the  carrying
value  of  the  assets  may  not  be  recovered
through  sale  or  successful  development)  -
and  if  so,  those  applied  to  determine  and
quantify any impairment loss

• whether  exploration  activities  have  reached
the  stage  at  which  the  existence  of  an
economically  recoverable  reserve  may  be
determined

Provision for site restoration obligations 
Refer to Note 12 in the financial statements 

The  Consolidated  Statement  of  Financial  Position  of 
the  Group  includes  a  provision  for  site  restoration  of 
$341,642  as  at  30  June  2022.  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, 
restoration  being  undertaken  and 
timing  of 
environmental legislation requirements. 
This  is  considered  as  a  key  audit  matter  due  to  the 
significant judgement involved and the materiality of the 
balance. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 
• Considering  the  Group’s  right  to  explore  in  the
relevant  exploration  area  which  included  obtaining
and  assessing  supporting  documentation  such  as
obtaining  independent  searches  of  the  company’s
tenement holdings;

•

future  cash 

• Considering  the  Group’s  intention  to  carry  out
significant exploration and evaluation activity in the
relevant  exploration  area  which 
included  an
assessment  of 
flow
the  Group's 
forecasts  and  enquired  of  management  and  the
Board of Directors as to the intentions and strategy
of the Group;
Assessing  recent  exploration  activity  in  a  given
exploration  license  area  to  determine  if  there  are
any  negative  indicators  that  would  suggest  a
potential  impairment  of  the  capitalized  exploration
and evaluation expenditure;
Assessing the commercial viability of results relating 
to exploration and evaluation activities carried out in
the relevant license area; and
Assessing the ability to finance any planned future
exploration and evaluation activity.

•

•

Our  audit  procedures  in  relation  to  provision  for  site 
restoration obligations included: 
• Understanding management’s process to determine 
the  provision  for  restoration  and  ensuring  it  was
consistent  with  our  understanding  of  the  activities
associated with those tenements;

• Reviewing the cost elements used in the estimation
of rehabilitation of related tenements and ensuring
that  appropriate  supporting  documents  were
available to support the cost estimates;

• Checking the mathematical accuracy of the model

used to calculate the provision;

• Reviewing the reasonableness of the inflation rate,
the  rehabilitation

discount  rate  and 
cashflows assumptions used in the model;

timing  of

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Share Based Payments 
Refer to Note 17 in the financial statements 

During  the  year,  the  Group  entered  into  the  following 
share-based payment arrangements: 

issued 

to 

the

21,000,000  options  were 
Directors

11,000,000  options  were 
employees of the Company

•

•

•

16,000,000 options were issued to advisors
of the Company

Management have accounted for these arrangements 
in accordance with AASB 2 Share-Based Payments. 
We consider this to be a key audit matter because of: 

•

•

•

•

the complexity of the accounting required to
value the instruments

the  judgmental  nature  of  inputs  into  the
valuation models, including the likelihood of
vesting  conditions  being  met,  and 
the
appropriate valuation methodology to apply

the variety of conditions associated with each 
instrument

the non-routine nature of the transactions

•

Ensuring  the  movement  in  the  provision  has  been
in  accordance  with  Australian
for 
accounted 
Accounting Standards; and
Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures in
the financial report.

Our audit procedures included, among others: 

• Making  enquiries  of  management,  about  the
the
the 

rationale  behind 

nature  of  and 
instruments issued;

instruments issued;

• Review  the  valuation  methodology  and  inputs
into  the  models  to  ensure  it  is  in  compliance
with AASB 2;

•

Verifying  the  mathematical  accuracy  of  the
underlying model;

• Critically evaluating the key assumptions used,
considering  the  market,  the  grant-date  share
price  and  current-date  share  price, 
the
expected  volatility  in  the  share  price,  the
vesting period, and the number of instruments
expected to vest;

• Recalculating  the  value  of  the  share-based
payment  expense  to  be  recognised  and  the
reserve balance, for accuracy, factoring in any
cancellations, modifications, expiry, or vesting;
and

• Reviewing 

the  adequacy  of 

the  relevant
disclosures, 
in
respect  of  judgments  made,  in  the  financial
statements.

the  disclosures 

including 

Other Information 
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
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 accordingly 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.  

49 

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 have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.  

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 
Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  as  a  whole  is  free  from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and 
Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar2_2020.pdf
