Dear Fellow Shareholders,  

The past year has been one of transition for the Company during extremely difficult market conditions for 
junior  explorers  which  saw  a  significant  decline  in  our  share  price.    However,  the  good  work  of  our 
management team and consultants and the recent gold and copper / gold exploration discoveries by 
Alkane Resources and Emmerson Resources give me optimism for our current exploration programs and 
2020.  

Earlier this year John Kaminsky, retired from his role as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer 
(CEO)  the  company.    Over  the  last  13  years,  John  was  the  driving  force  behind  many  of  Rimfire’s 
achievements, including the greenfields discovery of Sorpresa at Fifield in 2010 and the subsequent JORC resource in 2014.  
Ramona  Encconniere  also  retired  from  her  role  as  Non-Executive  Director  on  the  Board  of  Rimfire.    Ramona  made  a 
tremendous contribution in providing astute financial market insights and development of successful relationships with a broad 
range of investors.  Ramona continues to provide wise counsel to the company. On behalf of the Rimfire team I wish John 
and Ramona every success going forward. 

Craig  Riley  was  promoted  to  Managing  Director  and  CEO  following  John’s  departure  and  his  enthusiasm  and  extensive 
technical industry expertise has revitalised the Company.  Craig is executing the dual strategy of discovery for a major copper 
/  gold  or  gold  mineralised  system  such  as  Northparkes  (Cu/Au)  or  Cowal  (Au)  in  the  Northern  and  Southern  Areas  in 
conjunction  with  ongoing  work  to  monetise  the  Sorpresa  discovery.    With  our  CFO,  Greg  Keane,  Craig  has  delivered  a 
substantial cost reduction program and a successful capital raising. 

Currently underway, the discovery work on the regional areas 
of  the  Fifield  exploration  licences  (Northern  and  Southern 
Areas) is utilising aircore drilling to obtain geological samples 
of the bedrock.  At the Northern Gold prospect which is 2km 
north of Sorpresa, an RC drilling program is being undertaken 
to test the bedrock beneath a 400m long x 80m wide zone of 
historical mine pits.  The results of the Northern Gold program 
the 
could  have  a  significant 
monetisation of Sorpresa.   

impact  on  options 

for 

Active pursuit of appropriate partners to build further on the 
success of the Fifield project continues, which if successful 
will enable acceleration of the opportunities that exist for the 
company.  Whilst this remains a focus, two  capital raisings 
were conducted during the year, with the latest capital raising 
giving the opportunity for existing and new shareholders to 
take advantage of attractive pricing and the JMEI tax credits 
that the Company secured during the year.  

Finally,  I  would  like  to  thank  my  fellow  Board  members, 
management,  staff  and  contractors  for  their  hard  work  and 
professionalism over the last year. I would also like to thank 
my  fellow  shareholders  and  new  shareholders  for  their 
continued support of the Company.

FIFIELD PROJECT AREA OPERATIONS  

Rimfire Pacific Mining is currently focused on discovery of Gold (Au) and Copper (Cu) within its Fifield Project Area located at Fifield, one 
hour  drive  west  by  bitumen  road  from  Parkes  in  central  NSW.    The  company  holds  915km2  of  exploration  licences  covering  highly 
prospective ground in the same area as the Northparkes (CMOC), Cowal (Evolution Mining) and Cadia Valley (Newcrest Mining) operations 
that produce collectively over 1 million oz of gold and 100,000 tonnes annually of copper from porphyry style copper / gold or gold only 
mineralising systems.   

Rimfire is pursuing a dual strategy of a significant discovery within its Fifield area exploration licences and the evaluation of Sorpresa with 
the goal of delivering a project that can generate a positive cashflow return.   

The focus of regional exploration is towards a discovery in interpreted Ordovician Volcanic rocks that are under shallow cover with the 
potential to host large scale intrusion related mineral deposits such as Cowal (Au) and Northparkes (Cu / Au) deposits that are within 
100km of Fifield.   

At Sorpresa, the focus is on assessing if, within the existing JORC Resource (2014), there is a viable option for a higher grade, lower 
tonnage project that would generate a positive cashflow return.   

The aspiration for the company within the Fifield area is to achieve an aggregate discovery outcome greater than 4 million ounces of gold 
equivalent metal that can support an economically viable mine life in excess of 10 years.

Health, Safety, Environment and Community 

Health 
There were no health related incidents during the past year (1 
July  2018  to  30  June  2019).    As  part  of  routine  health  and 
hygiene management at Fifield project site the non-potable water 
tanks underwent routine emptying and cleaning.  All effluent at 
site is collected in a tank that is routinely emptied with a vacuum 
truck for appropriate disposal at local council sewage facilities.      

Safety 
There  were  no  safety  related  incidents  during  the  past  year  (1 
July 2018 to 30 June 2019).  Significant periodic fire prevention 
work is undertaken at site within constraints of NSW Government 
Department of Environment requirements to manage potential fire 
risk during the ongoing drought conditions.  There has also been 
removal of various items of contractor or company mobile and 
fixed equipment to further mitigate risks of damage or impacting 
fire control efforts during a bushfire event.   

Environment 
There were no environmental related incidents during the  past 
year (1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019).  There is an internal review 
of historical drill holes that is undertaken as part of the routine 
annual  Activity  Reporting  for  the  Exploration  Licences,  when 
necessary  completion  of  minor  additional  rehabilitation  work 
when we observe any minor subsidence due to settling of soils.  
A  site  inspection  was  undertaken  by  a  representative  of  the 
Environmental Resources Regulator for the NSW Department of 
Planning  and  Environment  on  16  May  2019.    There  were  no 
adverse observations.   

Community 
There were no community related incidents during the past year (1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019).  Rimfire sponsored the speed shearing 
event at the local 2019 Tullamore Annual Show was held on the 11 and 12 August 2019.  Murray Spratt, Rimfire Site Operations Manager 
attended the show and assisted with the speed shearing competition.

Review of Discovery Activity  
The broader Fifield area is prospective for further discoveries including large 
scale  porphyry  style  gold  or  copper/gold  systems  in  the  interpreted 
Ordovician Volcanic geology.  This age of rocks (Ordovician) is host to the 
Cowal  gold  (Evolution  Mining)  Northparkes  copper  /  gold  (China 
Molybdenum Co - CMOC) and Cadia Valley Operations (Newcrest Mining) 
mines that all occur within the Macquarie Arc.   

The Rimfire Fifield Project currently consists of 3 primary work areas referred 
to as Southern Area, Northern Area and Northern Gold which is part of the 
broader Sorpresa area of gold mineralisation. 

The  Southern  Area  and  Northern  Area  are  thought  to  contain  Ordovician 
Volcanics  and  the  Sorpresa  Basin  Area  has  gold  mineralisation  that  is 
considered part of broader Intrusion Related Gold System (IRGS).  

Southern Area Ordovician Block 
(Blue line = boundary Ordovician Block) 

in  age  with 

limited  exploration  potential. 

The Southern Area 
Reconnaissance geologic mapping of the Southern Area (110km2), in 
conjunction  with  geophysical  interpretation  and  a  review  of  historic 
data,  indicates  a  9km  wide  by  15km  long  complex  of  interpreted 
Ordovician Volcanics.  Previously the area was interpreted as Silurian 
–  Devonian 
  The 
reinterpretation  is  significant,  as  it  indicates  the  area  may  be  highly 
prospective  for  Northparkes,  Cadia  and  or  Cowal  style  deposits  (all 
major  +20  year  mine  life  operations).    Historically,  there  has  been 
limited exploration work with a focus on porphyry style mineralisation 
in this Southern area as the rocks were misinterpreted as the wrong 
age.  The reassessment by Rimfire geologists and interpretation of this 
area  as  an  Ordovician  volcanic  package  has  fundamentally  and 
positively changed the prospectively of this area.  This interpretation is 
now increasingly accepted amongst the broader geological community 
with technical knowledge in this region of NSW. 

The Volcanic Complex can be subdivided into two zones, an eastern 
proximal,  high  K  calc-alkaline  zone  and  a  transitional  volcano-
sedimentary zone to the west.  The region is blanketed by a veneer (0 
to 40m) of gravel and silty sand. 

The Eastern proximal, high K calc-alkaline zone is strongly magnetic.  
Outcrop is extremely poor, confined to spoil from a single dam and a 
small area of float.   Apart from a 1 km long RAB traverse drilled by 
Lachlan Resources at Byong in the south, only two holes drilled by other 
explorers  were  successfully  completed,  intersecting  biotite-cordierite-
hornfels  and  basaltic-andesite  lapilli  tuff.    All  other  holes  were 
terminated  prematurely,  either  failing  to  penetrate  the  veneer  of  sands  and  gravels  or  intersecting  badly  contaminated  saprolite.    The 
hornfelsing indicates the presence of intrusive rocks in the area. 

Southern Area Ordovician Block 
(Blue line = boundary Ordovician Block) 

The western transitional volcano-sedimentary zone comprises primarily fine and medium grained andesitic volcaniclastic sediments (linear 
magnetic lows), with subordinate proximal lapilli tuff (linear magnetic highs).  Although outcrop is sparse, there are five areas or variable 
often abundant float in the south.  The volcaniclastic siltstone is commonly hornfelsed.  A 1km wide area of intensely argillised rock, 
sometimes exhibiting a relict fragmental texture, occurs immediately east of an interpreted intrusive and circular dome.  The argillisation 
may be the pallid zone of a deeply weathered regolith, or it may be hydrothermal origin.

The Northern Area 
A review of Northern Area is in progress with analysis  of historical 
geological and geophysical datasets also indicating this is a block of 
older  Ordovician  rocks  that  were  previously  interpreted  as  younger 
Silurian  –  Devonian  in  age.    The  area  is  4km  wide  by  10km  long 
approximately 40km2.   

Reconnaissance mapping is 30% complete and ongoing.  The work 
to date has identified brick red quartz monzonite porphyries that are 
similar to Northparkes (CMOC) and coarser grained varieties that have 
similarities to Cadia Valley (Newcrest Mining).  The relationships are 
not  conclusive  and  ongoing  mapping  and  synthesis  of  analytical 
results from future drilling will provide a better understanding of rock 
ages and relationships.  

Historical aircore drilling data indicates a greater than 400 ppm copper 
anomaly  which  extends  for  over  3km  in  length  and  almost  1km  in 
width.  Within this zone are four locations with greater than 1000pmm 
(0.1%) copper. 

Sorpresa Monetisation  
The company discovered the Sorpresa deposit in 2011 and  reported  a 
resource estimate in 2014  in compliance with the 2012 JORC Code & 
Guidelines of 125koz Au and 7.9Moz Ag.  The 2011 Sorpresa gold and silver discovery confirmed that Rimfire had intersected a new zone 
of mineralisation in the Fifield district.   

Northern Area Ordovician Block 
(Black line = boundary Ordovician Block) 

Rimfire has completed a re-interpretation of the Sorpresa Resource mineralisation to assess if potential exists for a higher grade, lower 
tonnage mining operation.  It was essential to incorporate in the re-evaluation of the Sorpresa mineralisation 11,196m of additional drilling 
from 232 drill holes at Sorpresa between 2015 and 2017.  The reinterpretation of Sorpresa was undertaken, utilising all relevant available 
drill data and new geological perspectives generated from ongoing work in the Fifield area.  The interpretation was submitted to H&S 
Consultants Pty Ltd (H&SC), who did the original Sorpresa resource estimate in 2014, to generate an independent updated resource 
estimate for internal planning for the Sorpresa monetization strategy.  The preliminary updated resource model was used by Australian 
Mine Design & Development (AMDAD) for initial pit optimisation analysis.

The company has recently appointed H&S Consultants to complete a JORC (2012) compliant resource report that will allow results of 
resource modelling to be reported to shareholders and other interested parties in compliance with ASX reporting of ore reserves and 
mineral resources requirements.   

While this work has been in progress there has been ongoing field assessment of prospects in close proximity to Sorpresa to identify 
further gold mineralisation that would support the monetisation options.  Discovery of additional economic gold mineralisation at peripheral 
prospects such as Northern Gold would generate a more robust economic outcome.  

Sorpresa Area Exploration Potential and Intrusion Related Gold System Model 
Analysis of the known geology, mineralisation and geological relationships in the Sorpresa Basin and surrounding area supports gold 
mineralisation as part of an Intrusion Related Gold System (IRGS).  Knowing the genetic model ensures future exploration is efficient and 
effective by focusing on field work with the best opportunity to significantly impact results and deliver success.  Recognising mineralisation 
occurrences in the Sorpresa area are part of an IRGS provides Rimfire the opportunity for re-evaluation of the Company’s extensive dataset 
and stored samples to develop exploration strategies for the significant gold deposits often associated with these systems.  This recognition 
is a significant step forward in unlocking the potential indicated by positive gold assay results from exploration activities in the Sorpresa 
Basin and surrounding areas that include Northern Gold, Transit (previous drilling already identified 20m @ 1.1g/t Au), Casuarina Valley, 
Fortuna, Wiggies and Rabbers Lookout as part of a broader system.  This could have significant, and rapid, implications for exploration 
success within 5km of Sorpresa.  

Previously, Sorpresa and some of the surrounding mineralisation had been described as Low Sulphidation Epithermal and considered as 
part of a porphyry Cu / Au system.  With both the broad geochemistry and mineralisation morphology associated with Sorpresa and the 
Casuarina  Valley  /  Fortuna  Prospect  best  fitting  the  IRGS  model  the  reinterpretation  of  past  positive  results  from  these  and  other 
surrounding prospects in context of an IRGS model creates new opportunities for gold discoveries with further exploration.  Rimfire now

has the opportunity to rapidly leverage its extensive surface and drill hole dataset, and samples in storage, to re-evaluate past results in 
the context of the IRGS model.  The Sorpresa discovery and surrounding prospects are located within the Lachlan Transverse Zone and 
in relatively close proximity to the porphyry copper Cu / Au deposits of Northparkes which is one of the reasons this style of mineralisation 
has been a focus of Rimfire in this area. To date, significant gold mineralisation has been identified around the Sorpresa area but a clear 
link to a porphyry Cu-Au system has been difficult to establish in this area of the project.  The IRGS model allows for a clear (but different) 
set of geochemical path finders to be applied, along with typical geophysical and geological features, that can vector exploration to what 
can be significant gold deposits of varied style. 

Some significant features of IRGS Deposit types include: 

• 
• 

Gold grades of >1-2 g/t in disseminated systems and higher in vein systems.   

Gold deposit size ranges from small, +100k oz; to large +1 Moz; to mega +10 Moz

General plan model of IRGS illustrating various mineralisation styles, locations and outward metal zoning. 
(Modified from Hart et al., 2002) 

The current planned work in the Southern and Northern Project Areas where Rimfire interprets the presence of early Ordovician Volcanics, 
known  elsewhere (Northparkes Cu/Au, Cadia Cu/Au and Cowal Au deposits) to host significant  porphyry system  deposits, remains  a 
primary focus. Exploration in these areas is at an early stage and both Cu-Au porphyry and Intrusion Related Gold System mineralisation 
models will influence the exploration strategy and assessment of future exploration results.  

Northern Gold Prospect (black outline) 

Northern Gold   
The Northern Gold Prospect is 2km north of the Sorpresa discovery, 
where there is an extensive area of relatively shallow (<6m) historic 
gold workings covering +350m strike length x 80m width, in what is 
interpreted as a gravel filled poorly formed valley.  Historic workings 
across  the  area  are  thought  to  have  been  targeting  coarse  gold 
accumulations within the highly weathered bedrock at the base of the 
infilling gravels.  An initial auger drilling program was completed to 
test  both  the  valley  fill  and  underlying  insitu  geology.    The  work 
confirms  the  source  of  gold  is  from  bedrock  rather  than  infilling 
channel gravels and weathered bedrock samples indicate that the host 
rocks  are  not  black  silica  lithology  as  at  Sorpresa.    More  work  is 
required to understand controls of what is thought to be a related but 
different mineralisation setting to the nearby Sorpresa Deposit.  Assay 
results  indicate  anomalous  gold  (+20ppb)  within  the  weathered 
bedrock below the gravels.  The degree of weathering is high, creating 
the potential for gold depletion near surface.  A program of RC drilling 
will test this concept and the bedrock potential.  There has been no 
known  drill  testing  of  bedrock  below  the  zone  of  historical  hand 
mining pits.

Perilya Joint Venture 
A passive 10% interest is held by the Company (Perilya 90%) in Exploration Licence EL5958 in the Broken Hill area with Perilya responsible 
for meeting all annual expenditure commitments and other compliance requirements.  The ground is contiguous and along strike from 
Cobalt Blue’s (ASX “COB”) Thackaringa Project and has potential for base metal and cobalt mineralisation.   

Key Priorities Ahead   
The company over the past 12 months has undertaken a significant amount of exploration work to support work towards discovery of a 
significant size > 1Moz gold +/- 1Mt copper mineralised system.  The key priorities ahead are completing exploration work programs for 
both Cu-Au porphyry and Intrusion Related Gold System (IRGS) mineralisation models to deliver the Company’s goal to discover, define 
and develop mineable resources.   

The immediate main areas of focus include:  
✓  Northern Area work is to obtain general information on bedrock lithologies and geochemistry with a large km scale anomalous footprint 

that is a key feature of large scale mineralised systems 

✓  Southern  Area  work  is  to  obtain  general  information  on  bedrock  lithologies  and  geochemistry  with  a  large  km  scale  anomalous

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

Your Directors present the following report on the Company and its controlled entity for the financial year ended 30 June 2019. 

Directors 

The names of Directors in office during the whole or part of the financial year and up to the date of this report: 

Ian McCubbing (Chairman) 

▪ 
▪  Craig Riley (Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, appointed CEO from 31 January 2019, appointed Managing Director 

from 31 March 2019) 

▪  John Kaminsky (Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, retired 31 January 2019, retired as Director 31 March 2019) 
▪  Ramona Enconniere (Non-Executive Director, retired 31 January 2019) 
▪  Andrew Greville (Non-Executive Director)  

Principal Activities 

The principal activities of the Consolidated entity during the financial year were the exploration and evaluation of mineral deposits. 

Review of Operations  

The Company’s focus remains at Fifield NSW with prospects and targets in Gold and Copper.  The ground holding in Central NSW was 
increased to 915km2 with the addition of two new exploration licences in the Greater Lake Cowal area during the year.  

The exploration efforts are situated within the well-established, highly credentialed and mineralised Macquarie Arc and a regional structural 
corridor referred to as the Lachlan Transverse Zone (LTZ).  This corridor includes the Northparkes copper-gold mine and the Cadia Valley 
Operations gold-copper mines amongst others and represents an excellent discovery setting for the Company.   

Operational Activities  

The Company continues to enact a process of review, rating and prioritisation of its key prospect opportunities to progress and grow the 
pipeline for new discoveries.  

The Fifield area has good access to infrastructure and skills suitable for any potential mining scenario and this adds further validity to the 
pursuit of mineralisation in the district. 

Full details of the progression of discovery activity undertaken during the period is contained in the Review of Discovery Activity section 
within this Annual Report.   

Work Program Approach for Financial Year 2020 

Rimfire’s priorities for the Financial Year 2020 will be to continue with its dual strategy of exploration for a major copper / gold or gold 
mineralised system such as Northparkes (Cu/Au) or Cowal (Au) in the Northern and Southern Areas in conjunction with ongoing work to 
monetise the Sorpresa discovery.   

The Company will continue to pursue options to secure a Joint Venture partner or partnership to accelerate progress.  

Junior Resource Sector Outlook and Financial Position 

The global outlook for the resources sector continues to be mixed with strong demand and interest in the top tier mining companies with 
variable and predominately weaker interest in the junior resource sector during the period.  For the junior resource sector (exploration), 
there is still low levels of investor liquidity and investor participation.  The resurgence of the gold price and fundamentals due to the world 
economic fears on the back of international trade policies is yet to flow through to an increased interest in junior greenfields exploration 
companies with strong exposure to the gold sector.  Importantly, the industry is starting to recognise that as major gold producer reserves 
and resources decline, there is a need to increase expenditure to achieve discoveries of new replacement gold resources.  This should 
see exploration spend increase by the majors and support a more buoyant outlook for the junior gold exploration companies. 

The Company’s cash at bank at 30 June 2019 was $0.1m.  This cash balance has subsequently been increased due to the Rights Issue 
launched 26 June 2019, with $0.8m being raised before costs (including placement of shortfall).       

The Company continues to actively manage costs with Non-Executive Directors continuing to have Director fee payments deferred after 
implementation of cash preservation measures from January 2019.

During the period, Rimfire was notified by the ATO that its application for a Junior Minerals Exploration Initiative (JMEI) credit allocation 
was successful and the ATO granted an allocation of $550,000 in JMEI credits for the 2019/20 income tax year.  The JMEI credits will only 
be available to ordinary shares issued between 01 July 2019 and 30 June 2020, which includes shares issued under the Rights Issue 
announced 26 June 2019.  A participating shareholder’s final JMEI credit entitlement amount will be determined after lodgement of the 
Company’s 2019/20 tax return.   

The JMEI scheme has been put in place by the Federal Government to encourage investment in small minerals exploration companies that 
carry  out  greenfields  mineral  exploration  in  Australia.    The  JMEI  scheme  provides  credits  that  allows  greenfields  mineral  eploration 
companies to generate a tax incentive by allowing companies to give up a portion of their tax losses from eligible greenfields mineral 
exploration expenditure for distribution to investors.  The JMEI credits are only available for Australian resident shareholders and generally, 
these shareholders will be entitled to a refundable tax offset (for individual shareholders or superannuation funds) or franking credits (for 
companies). 

Capital Structure 

As at 30 June 2019 the capital structure of the Company was; 

-  1,069,618,073 Ordinary Shares on Issue (RIM) 
-  131,140,518 Listed Options, 2.2 cent, expire 1 May 2020 (RIMOB)

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 

The Remuneration Report, which has been audited, outlines the Key Management Personnel (KMP) remuneration arrangements for the 
Consolidated entity, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its regulations. 
The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings:

1. 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

The Board of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL uses the Remuneration and Nomination Committee to review and consistently apply the Company 
Policy to allow the Company to maintain its ability to attract and retain the best executives and Directors to run and manage the Consolidated 
entity, as well as create alignment between Directors, executives and shareholders.  

The Company Policy, implemented via the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, is to benchmark Company remuneration against 
comparable businesses and ensure that remuneration is comparable to the upper quartile, but also within the financial constraints the 
Company may be operating within at the time of assessment.   

Remuneration policy for Directors and senior executives is reviewed annually by the Board. The policy allows a mix, as determined by the 
Board on advice of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. Depending on the nature of employment agreements, remuneration 
comprises a fixed component, (which is based on factors such as capability, effectiveness, work tasks, responsibilities, length of service 
and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits, short term bonus, long term incentives (which may include shares, options on shares or 
performance  rights),  subject  to  any  necessary  shareholder  or  regulatory  approvals.    During  the  year  the  Company  did  not  engage 
remuneration consultants to provide advice on the Company’s remuneration policy. 

Leading the development of strategy, and communicating to stakeholders, 

The policy requires reviews taking into account the Consolidated entity’s performance, executive and Non-Executive Director performance 
and comparable information from industry, including other listed companies in the resources sector. Independent external advice is sought 
as required.  There is currently no link between the policy and the Company’s earnings and shareholder wealth because the Company is 
still in the exploration phase and is not generating revenue.  Instead, the criteria for executive and Director appraisal include: 
▪  Maintaining high standards of workplace, health and safety, environmental compliance and community liaison, 
▪ 
▪  Maintaining capital resources necessary to execute the Company’s strategy, with minimal dilution and costs to shareholders, 
▪ 
Technical advancement in the discovery potential of the project areas, 
▪  Managing operations and expenditure to efficient levels and within budgets,  
▪ 
▪ 
▪  Managing investor relations and Company communication, 
▪ 

Preserving financial and business integrity and managing risk under difficult industry conditions, 
Recruiting, managing and training personnel to ensure access to high levels of skill in the industry, 

Ability to multi-skill and cover as much of the Company’s skill needs from in-house resources. 

Rimfire Pacific Mining NL – 2019 Annual Report to Shareholders |  13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Board is aware of the need to maintain competitive remuneration to reward performance which benefits shareholders and advances 
the Company. To this end, a review of the short term bonus and long term incentive programs to motivate and reward those people who 
create shareholder value and make the greatest contribution to the Company was undertaken last year.  A Long term incentive Plan was 
approved by shareholders at the Company’s 24 November 2017 AGM.   

Whilst there has been no change to the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, since January 2019 Non-Executive Directors pay was 
deferred whilst the company was undertaking cost reduction activity and still remain unpaid at the end of the period.  To align Directors’ 
interests with shareholder interests, Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.  Senior Management from March 2019 were 
paid reduced salaries whilst the company was undertaking cost reduction activity.   

The remuneration policy review undertaken in 2018 will be revisited as required to ensure it continues to meet the needs of the Company, 
creates better alignment to industry practices for remuneration and to accommodate changes to law.  The Company has reviewed  the 
application of laws in relation to the use of employee share schemes and performance rights. At the 2018 AGM the Company received 
92% of ‘for’ votes in relation to its remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2018.  The Company did not receive any specific 
feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices. 

2. 

Details of Remuneration for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 

Benefits to senior executives and the Non-Executive Directors consisted primarily of cash benefits in the period with unlisted options with 
vesting conditions being offered to the Managing Director.   A Non-Executive Director Pool of $200,000 was available in 2019 ($200,000 
in 2018) and represents the maximum aggregate payments to Non-Executive Directors, in their capacities as Directors, that can be paid in 
any one year without requiring additional shareholder approval. The actual Non-Executive Director pool utilised in the 12 month period 
was $133,333 in total ($126,586 in 2018). This rate is below the industry norm.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

The  financial  report  is  a  general  purpose  financial  report  that  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards,  Australian 
Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. 

Rimfire Pacific Mining NL is a profit orientated entity for the purpose of the financial report. 

The financial report covers the economic entity of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL and its controlled entity.  Rimfire Pacific Mining NL is a listed public company, 
incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 

The principal activities of the Consolidated entity during the financial year were the exploration and development of economic mineral deposits. 

The financial report of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL and its controlled entity, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued 
by the International Accounting Standards Board. 

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the economic entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting 
policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.  

The financial report was authorised for issue by Directors on the date of signing the Directors’ Declaration. 

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs. 

Accounting Policies 

a. 

Significant Judgements and Key Assumptions 

Judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements 
concern the information regarding capitalised exploration expenditure for exploration and mining licences.  In particular, the judgement that there 
is insufficient information available to make a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. 

 b. 

Going Concern 
The consolidated entity incurred an operating loss of $875,505 and had cash outflows from operating activities of $741,377 for the year ended 
30 June 2019. The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on a number of factors, one being the continuation 
and availability of funds. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to 
continue as a going concern. 

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  the  going  concern  basis,  which  contemplates  the  continuity  of  normal  business  activity  and  the 
realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons: 

-  As at 30 June 2019, the consolidated entity had cash and cash equivalent of $95,706. 

-  Subsequent to the end of 30 June 2019, the entity completed a successful capital raising of $832k before costs to allow for the next stage of 

discovery programs to continue 

-  As part of the Capital Raising options where issued and are due to expire 01 May 2020, which may raise up to $2.8m of additional funding. 

-  Directors have a number of external funding alternatives available such as a farm-out of exploration commitments or raising additional equity 
funds.  The  Company  has  a  history  of  successfully  undertaking  capital  raisings  during  the  last  15  years  and  has  entered  into  significant 
partnerships in the past.  

-  The Board also has the ability to defer or reduce operating activities and exploration expenditure if necessary, whilst meeting minimum tenement 

expenditure commitments. 

-  The entity also owns assets such as freehold land and plant and equipment in Fifield which can be used for funding. 

Based on the consolidated entity successfully actioning the above, the directors believe that the consolidated entity will continue as a going 
concern and that it is appropriate to adopt that basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial report.  

Should the company be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in 
the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements.  The financial statements do not include any 
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of liabilities that might result should the 
company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

Accounting Policies (Cont’d) 

c. 

Principles of Consolidation  
The Consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL as at 30 June 2019 and 
the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Rimfire Pacific Mining NL and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial 
statements as the 'Consolidated entity'.  

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Consolidated entity has control. The Consolidated entity controls an entity when the Consolidated 
entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its 
power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully Consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Consolidated 
entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised 
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries 
have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Consolidated entity. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of 
control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of 
the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. 

Where the Consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest 
in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the 
consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

d. 

Income Tax 

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

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an 
asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on the taxable profit or loss. 

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

Rimfire  Pacific  Mining  NL  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  subsidiary  have  not  formed  an  income  tax  Consolidated  group  under  the  tax 
consolidation regime. 

e. 

Property, Plant and Equipment  

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

Property 

Freehold land and buildings are measured on the cost basis, being the amounts which have been paid for the asset. 

Plant and Equipment 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 

Depreciation is calculated on a reducing balance basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over its expected useful life 
commencing from the time the asset is ready for use. 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses on 
disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in profit or loss. 

Depreciation 

The  depreciable  amount  of  property,  plant  and  equipment,  but  excluding  freehold  land,  is  depreciated  using  a  reducing  balance  method 
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired 
period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

10% - 40%

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods 
in which they are incurred. 

g. 

Exploration Evaluation and Development Expenditure 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is capitalised at cost and includes acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, 
sampling and associated activities. Costs are accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. General and administrative expenditures 
are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they relate directly to operational activities’ particular area of 
interest. 

These costs are only carried forward where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence 
of economically recoverable reserves and the following conditions are satisfied: 

(i)  the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and 
(ii)  at least one of the following conditions is also met: 

(a) 

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

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

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is 
made. 

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

The carrying amount of the capitalised expenditure is also recognised after deducting any reimbursable costs from New Gold Inc. under the earn 
in Agreement received in relation to the capitalised exploration.  New Gold Inc. exited the earn-in joint venture during 2018, as part of their 
strategic withdrawal from all operations in countries other than North America. 

h. 

i. 

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

Restoration, Rehabilitation, and Environmental Costs 
The Company has provided an environmental bond to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment in the form of a bank guarantee, included 
in trade and other receivables ($160,000). The ultimate recoupment of this environmental bond is dependent on the completion, to the satisfaction 
of the Department of rehabilitation of the relevant site.  The environmental bond reflects the estimated cost to rehabilitate planned exploration 
activity over the tenements.  The Company policy is to continuously rehabilitate areas that have been affected by exploration activity when the 
activity has been completed. 

Impairment of Assets 
At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that 
those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less 
costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its  recoverable amount is 
expensed to the Profit or  Loss. 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of cash-generating 
unit to which the asset belongs.

Accounting Policies (Cont’d) 

Employee Benefits 
Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date. Employee 
benefits expected to be settled within one year including entitlements arising from wages and salaries and annual leave, have been measured at 
the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus related on-costs. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been 
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.  Contributions are made by the Consolidated 
entity to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 
Cash and deposits, including cash equivalents, comprise cash on hand and cash at bank, deposits at call and those highly liquid investments with 
an original maturity of three months or less, which are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment 
purposes, and which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.  

For the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and deposits with banks or financial institutions net of 
bank overdrafts. 

Trade and Other Receivables 
Trade receivables and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any allowance for doubtful debts.  

Trade and Other Payables 
Trade payables and other payables are recognised when the Consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the 
purchase of goods and services. Payments are normally settled on 30 day terms. 

Financial Instruments 
Recognition 
AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces 
new rules for hedge accounting and new impairment model for financial assets. 

The Company has adopted AASB 9 from 01 July 2018, which have resulted in no material change to the accounts.  

Financial Assets and Liabilities 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company 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. 

Fair Value Hierarchy 
The Group is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level 1 input 
that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: 

Level 1 - Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the 
measurement date. 
Level 2 - Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
or indirectly 
Level 3 - Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 

The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation  techniques. These 
valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value 
are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or 
liability is included in Level 3. The Company would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances: 

(i)  if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or 
(ii)  if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa. 

When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. transfers into and 
out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred.

Accounting Policies (Cont’d) 

Derecognition 
The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the 
financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest 
in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership 
of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for  the 
proceeds received. 

On  derecognition  of  a  financial  asset  measured  at  amortised  cost,  the  difference  between  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  and  the  sum  of  the 
consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in equity instrument which the Company 
has elected on initial recognition to measure at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve 
is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained earnings. 

The company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The 
difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit and 
or loss. 

Impairment 
The Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or at fair value 
through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI). The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in 
credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.  

The Company always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a 
provision matrix based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic 
conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of 
money where appropriate.  

For all other financial instruments, the Company recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial 
recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures 
the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.  

Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 
In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are 
possible within 12 months after the reporting date. 

o. 

Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an 
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of 
the obligation. 

Where  the  Company  expects  some  or  all  of  a  provision  to  be  reimbursed,  for  example  under  an  insurance  contract,  the  reimbursement  is 
recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the 
Profit or Loss net of any reimbursement. 

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that 
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is 
used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 

p. 

Income Recognition 
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. 

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). 

 q. 

r. 

Government Grants 
Government grants  relating  to  assets such  as  capitalised exploration  expenditure,  are  recognised  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Financial 
Position by deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset. Government grants relating to expenses are recognised in the profit 
and loss as other income. 

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

s. 

Earnings Per Share  
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL, excluding any costs of servicing 
equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus 
elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. 

t. 

u. 

v. 

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect 
of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of shares assumed to 
have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

Segment Reporting 
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports 
provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and 
assessing their performance. Rimfire Pacific Mining NL does not have any separately reportable segments. 

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. 

Equity Settled Compensation 
Equity-settled  transactions  are  awards  of  shares,  or  options over  shares,  that  are  provided  to  employees  or  contractors  in  exchange  for  the 
rendering of services. Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits have been provided to employees in the current financial year. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using Black-Scholes option 
pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected 
price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-
vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees or contractors to receive 
payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions. 

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  recognised  as  an  expense  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity  over  the  vesting  period.  The 
cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are 
likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount 
calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods. 

w. 

Adoption of New and revised Standards 
The company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are 
relevant to their operations and are effective for the current financial reporting period, being the year end 30 June 2019. New and revised standards 
and amendments thereof and interpretations effective for the current reporting period that are relevant to the company include: 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments, and relevant amending standards; 
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

The adoption of new and revised standards and amendments has not affected the amounts reported for the current or prior years. A  discussion 
on the adoption of AASB 9 and AASB 15 is included below. The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment 
that has been issued but is not yet effective. 

AASB 9 - Financial Instruments (‘AASB 9’) 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces 
new rules for hedge accounting and new impairment model for financial assets. 

Classification and Measurement 
On 01 July 2018, the Company has assessed financial instruments held by the Company and have classified them into the appropriate AASB 9 
categories. The main effects resulting from this reclassification are shown in the table below. 

On adoption of AASB 9, the Company classified financial assets and liabilities measured at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the 
business model for those assets and on the asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics. The Company may make an irrevocable election at initial 
recognition  for particular investments in equity instruments that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss,  to present 
subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.

The Company does not currently engage in any hedging activities and accordingly any changes to hedge accounting rules under AASB 9 do not 
have any impact on the Company. 

Impairment 
AASB 9 introduces a new expected credit loss (“ECL”) impairment model that requires the Company to adopt an ECL position across the Company’s 
financial assets from 01 July 2018. The loss allowances for financial assets are based on the assumption about risk of default and expected loss 
rates as opposed to the previously applied incurred loss model. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the 
inputs to the impairment calculations, based on the Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the 
end of each reporting period. The Company has assessed that the risk of default is minimal for trade receivables, and as such, no impairment loss 
has been recognised against these receivables as at 30 June 2019. 

AASB 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (‘AASB 15’) 

AASB 15 supersedes the prior standards for revenue recognition including, AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related 
Interpretations. AASB 15 applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, unless those contracts are in the scope of other standards. 
The new standard establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and is recognised at an amount that 
reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The adoption of 
AASB 15 has not affected any of the Company’s revenue recognition areas. 

Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted 
by the Company for the year ending 30 June 2019. Management is in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of these standards and 
interpretations on the Company. 

AASB 16 – Leases (‘AASB 16’) 

When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: Leases and related Interpretations. 
AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. 

The main changes introduced by the new Standard include: 

- 

- 

- 

- 

- 

recognition of a right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with less than 12 months of tenure and leases 
relating to low-value assets); 
depreciation of right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss and unwinding of the liability 
in principal and interest components; 
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the initial measurement of the lease liability using the index 
or rate at the commencement date; 
by applying a practical expedient, a lessee is permitted to elect not to separate non-lease components and instead account for all 
components as a lease; and 
additional disclosure requirements. 

The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lessee to either retrospectively apply the Standard to comparatives in line with AASB 108 or 
recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application. 

Impact of adoption 

The adoption of AASB 16 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s lease recognition areas.

Accounting policy for share-based payments 

Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees as an additional incentive to recognise their contribution to the success of the 

company and persistence to deliver ongoing results.    

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.  

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing 

model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of 

the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not 

determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge 

to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired 

portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts 

already recognised in previous periods. 

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective 
of whether or not that market condition has been met provided all other conditions are satisfied. 

Rimfire Pacific Mining NL – 2019 Annual Report to Shareholders |  39 

 
 
 
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is 

not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the 

remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. 

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a 

new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

Note 23             Financial Risk Management  

a.         Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies 

The  Consolidated  entity's  activities  expose  it  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks:  market  risk  (including  interest  rate  risk),  credit  risk  and  liquidity  risk.  The 
Consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects 
on the financial performance of the Consolidated entity. The Consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is 
exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and other risks. 

Risk management is carried out by senior executives under policies approved by the Board of Directors. These policies include identification and analysis of 
the risk exposure of the Consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. 

Market risk  
Interest rate risk 
The Consolidated entity's main interest rate risk arises from its holdings of cash and cash equivalents on deposit. Deposits held at variable rates expose the 
Consolidated entity to interest rate risk. Deposits held at fixed rates expose the Consolidated entity to fair value risk. The Consolidated entity's exposure to 
interest rate risk is set out in Note 23(b). 

Credit risk 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Consolidated entity. The Consolidated 
entity exposure to credit risk is limited to security deposits provided to landlords and other third parties. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting 
date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial 
position and notes to the financial statements.  

Liquidity risk 
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) to be able to pay 
debts as and when they become due and payable. 

The Consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching 
the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Sensitivity Analysis 

The group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at reporting date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates 

the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks. 

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis 

At 30 June 2019, the effect on loss after tax and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would 

be as follows: 

Change in loss after tax 
-  Increase in interest rate by 0.5% 
-  Decrease in interest rate by 0.5% 

Change in equity 
-  Increase in interest rate by 0.5% 
-  Decrease in interest rate by 0.5%

(2,072) 

The above changes are based on the effect of an interest rate change in relation to funds held in deposit with financial institutions.  A change in 
0.5% of the interest rate is deemed reasonable by management due to the current financial environment of low interest rates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

To the members of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL (the Company) and its subsidiaries 
(the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement 
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes 
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ 
declaration. 

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

(i) 

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its 
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and  

(ii) 

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for opinion  

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the 
financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance 
with the Code. 

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the 
time of this auditor’s report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion.  

BDO East Coast Partnership ABN 83 236 985 726 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd 
ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO East Coast Partnership and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, 
a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved 
under Professional Standards Legislation. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Material uncertainty related to going concern  

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which 
give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s 
ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and 
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this 
matter.  

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide 
a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty 
related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit 
matters to be communicated in our report. 

Exploration & Evaluation Assets 

Key audit matter  

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The company has incurred significant 
exploration and evaluation expenditures 
which have been capitalised. As the carrying 
value of exploration and evaluation 
expenditures represents a significant asset of 
the company, we considered it necessary to 
assess whether facts and circumstances 
existed to suggest that the carrying amount 
of this asset may exceed its recoverable 
amount. 

AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of 
Mineral Resources contains detailed 
requirements with respect to both the initial 
recognition of such assets and ongoing 
requirements to continue to carry forward 
the assets. 

Note 1 to the financial statements contains 
the accounting policy and note 11 disclosures 
in relation to exploration and evaluation 
expenditures. 

Our procedures included: 

  Obtaining evidence that the Group has valid 
rights to explore in the areas represented by 
the capitalised exploration and evaluation 
expenditure; 

  Confirming whether the rights to tenure of 

the areas of interest remained current at 
the reporting date as well as confirming that 
rights to tenure are expected to be renewed 
for tenements that will expire in the near 
future; 

  Reviewing the directors’ assessment of the 
carrying value of the exploration and 
evaluation costs, ensuring that management 
have considered the effect of impairment 
indicators, commodity prices and the stage 
of the Group’s project; 

  Reviewing budgets and challenging 

assumptions made by the Group to ensure 
that substantive expenditure on further 
exploration for and evaluation of the 
mineral resources in the areas of interest 
were planned; and 

  Reviewing ASX announcements and minutes 
of directors’ meetings to ensure that the 
company had not decided to discontinue 
activities in any of its areas of interest. 

 
 
 
Other information  

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the 
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the 
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 
other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report  

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report  

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

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

http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf 

This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report  

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 13 to 18 of the directors’ report for the 
year ended 30 June 2019. 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL, 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.
