CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

I am pleased to report that Rimfire has had a successful year with advancement of our four existing 
projects that give exposure to gold and green energy metals including copper and platinum-group 
elements (PGE’s) in the world-renowned Lachlan Fold Belt of central NSW. The company also 
developed a new opportunity by regaining 100% tenure rights and management control on a  
significant cobalt (electric vehicle battery metal) project (the Green View project) in the Broken Hill 
region of south-western NSW.

The company’s financial position has been substantially improved after last year’s capital raising of 
$2.6 million and implementation of the Avondale Earn-in Agreement which could deliver up to $7.5 
million of funding over 4 years. This solid financial platform has allowed the company to identify the 
exciting 100% owned new Valley (copper/gold) and Green View (cobalt) Projects in central NSW and 
south-western NSW respectively.    

The Company is manager of the Fifield and Avondale Earn-in Projects with Golden Plains Resources 
Pty. Ltd. (GPR) our Earn-in partner. The Fifield Project includes the Sorpresa Resource (gold/silver) 
where GPR is continuing to fund work activities towards obtaining mine development approvals. 
Rimfire and GPR have established a solid professional working relationship and we appreciate 
the resources provided by GPR. The Avondale Earn-in will enable the company to accelerate its 
exploration of a number of attractive targets including the Kars and Currajong prospects. 

The next 12 months will be significant  for the development of the company’s 100% owned and 
managed projects. The Valley Project (Lachlan Fold Belt), has promising results for a commercial 
copper/gold porphyry system and will be further evaluated over the next year. The Company also 
recently announced the Green View Project which is in a highly prospective area for cobalt, a mineral 
that is now attracting significant global interest.  

I would like to thank Board members, employees, contractors and service providers for their 
continued hard work and professionalism over the past year. It has been a challenging and stressful 
year operationally as outbreaks of the Coronavirus across the eastern states rapidly change how our 
people and equipment can support field activities yet our team has been able to continue advancing 
company projects whilst avoiding any Covid cases. Furthermore, we express our sincere thanks to 
our new and continuing shareholders for their support of the Company. 

Ian McCubbing 
Chairman of the Board

Dated: 30 September 2021

HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY

Health

Environment

The Company recorded no health incidents or Covid-19 
cases during the past year 

There were no environmental incidents during the 
past year. 

The Company has implemented Covid-19 preventive 
measures across all facets of field and office operations 
to ensure employees and contractors are performing 
duties in a manner consistent with directives from 
relevant State and Federal authorities. The transition to 
establishing robust platforms that allow the company 
to continue operating normally whilst managing 
compliance with Covid-19 directives from relevant 
statutory authorities has been very successful. To 
further mitigate the risk to employees, contractors, and 
community the company is encouraging employees 
and contractors to receive vaccinations. The Company 
appreciates the ongoing support and contribution of the 
local community, employees, and contractors during this 
period of abnormal business practices. 

Safety

There were no safety incidents during the past year 
with the Company achieving a zero incident rate for 
Minor Injuries, Medical Treatment Injuries and Lost 
Time Injuries.

There were numerous drilling programs undertaken 
during the year which were all completed safely. The 
breaking of the drought significantly reduced the fire risk 
associated with all field activities in the past year 
although preventative control measures have been 
implemented to manage increased levels of expected 
dry vegetation that will be an issue for next summer. 

The NSW Resources Regulator has replaced its previous 
Complying Exploration Activity (CEA) system with a new 
Approved Prospecting Operations (APO) framework, 
with increased compliance requirements. The company 
has closed all outstanding CEAs which included 
obtaining sign-off from landholders confirming that all 
environmental rehabilitation is complete to the agreed 
standard. There remain 5 active APOs covering current 
field work program activities.

Community

There were no community related incidents during the 
past year. 

The company acknowledges that our projects in NSW 
are on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri and Wilyakali 
people and we pay our respect to their Elders past, 
present and future.  

During the year a Wiradjuri representative of the Local 
Area Land Council (LALC) visited the Sorpresa Project 
site and participated in a Cultural Heritage survey. There 
were no artefacts or sites of significance observed in 
areas of Rimfire field activities although some Aboriginal 
artefacts were identified in the local area during the visit. 
The company has incorporated the locations of these 
sites into its Geographical Database systems to aid 
future planning of field activities. 

The company did raise its profile in the local community 
by relocating its accommodation facilities to the 
township of Fifield.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Rimfire Pacific Mining (ASX:RIM) is an ASX listed 
exploration company focused on advancing four 
projects in the Lachlan Fold Belt in New South Wales 
with exposure to Copper / Gold / PGE / Cobalt and 
one project in the “Willyama Supergroup” at Broken 
Hill with exposure to Cobalt (Figure 1). The company 
holds 896km2 of exploration licences covering highly 
prospective ground within the Lachlan Fold Belt with 
the Company’s projects located near the operating 
mines of CMOC (Northparkes Cu/Au), Alkane (Tomingley 
Au), Evolution (Cowal Au) and Newcrest Mining (Cadia 

Valley Au/Cu) operations that produce collectively over 
1 million ounces of gold and 100,000 tonnes of copper 
metal annually from porphyry style copper / gold or gold 
only mineralised systems. The company also now holds 
a 78km2 area of an exploration licence at Broken Hill in 
the Willyama Supergroup that is prospective for cobalt 
mineralisation and hosts the significant Broken Hill 
Pb-Zn-Ag (lead, zinc, silver) orebody that has been in 
production for over 100 years, after the return of 25 units 
from the Windy Ridge Joint Venture held with Perilya 
after balance date.

Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 2021 Annual Report to Shareholders    /     3   PROJECT OVERVIEW

The company is pursuing a dual strategy of seeking 
a significant discovery within its exploration licences 
and advancing the Sorpresa deposit with the goal 
of delivering a value accretive project. Over the past 
couple of years the Company has been very successful 
at achieving co-investment commitments including 
securing two earn-in agreements with Golden Plains 
Resources Pty. Ltd. for the Fifield (exploration and 
development) and Avondale (exploration) Projects.  
Subject to some options in favour of GPR, Rimfire is 

carried for up to $12 million of project expenditure 
whilst retaining management control throughout the 
earn-in periods (ASX Announcements: 4 May 2020 - 
Rimfire Enters into $4.5 million Earn-in Agreement and 
25 July 2021 - Rimfire Secures $7.5 million Avondale 
Farm Out). 

The company believes there are significant value 
catalysts to come from the next stage of work programs 
on the Projects whilst also actively continuing to review 
further potential growth opportunities.

The five key projects under management in the Lachlan Fold Belt and Willyama Supergroup are:

LACHLAN FOLD BELT – CENTRAL NSW (WIRADJURI COUNTRY)

1. Valley Project – Porphyry Copper/Gold, RIM 100%
3 Located 5km west of Kincora Copper/RareX Mordialloc porphyry copper-gold target.

3 Recently completed a drilling program to test near surface IP targets and interpreted Ordovician 

basement that hosts regional major discoveries such as Northparkes, Cadia and Cowal.

2. Cowal Project - Copper/Gold, RIM 100%.
3 Located to the east of Evolution’s Lake Cowal Copper/Gold mine.
3 Little exploration has occurred on these tenements which are prospective for Copper/Gold.

3. Fifield Project – Gold  Silver and Platinum Group Elements (PGE’s)
3 GPR earning up to 50.1% over 3 years and RIM carried through development.
3 Maiden JORC 2012 resource of 125Koz gold + 7.9Moz silver.

3 Recent drilling at the Transit Prospect included a hole with an intersection of 55m @ 0.94g/t 

gold and the final 1m intersection increasing to 9.98g/t gold.

4. Avondale Project – Cobalt, PGEs and Gold
3 GPR earning up to 75% over 4 years.

3 Currajong and KARS prospects located in the southern area of the project area and prospective 

for Cobalt and PGE’s respectively.

BROKEN HILL (WILLYAMA SUPERGROUP) – SOUTH-WESTERN NSW (WILYAKALI COUNTRY)

5. Green View Project – Cobalt, RIM 100%
3 Located 15km from Broken Hill. 

3 Adjacent to the significant Cobalt Blue Holdings Railway Cobalt Resource, with ~43,000t of 
inground cobalt, which is the major resource for the Cobalt Blue’s Broken Hill Cobalt Project.

3 Prospective host rock lithology outcropping at surface along strike from Railway Resource.

4     /   Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 2021 Annual Report to ShareholdersVALLEY PROJECT – 100% RIM 

The “Valley” Project lies 3km north of the township 
of Trundle in central NSW.  The 2021 drilling program 
consisted of three shallow (<200m) holes to test 
Induced Polarisation (IP) features (zones of anomalous 
chargeability and resistivity responses in the bedrock 

substrate) and a fourth deeper hole (>400m) to confirm 
depth to interpreted Ordovician Volcanic basement 
rocks. The Valley target is approximately 5km west of 
the Kincora Copper/RareX Mordialloc porphyry copper/
gold target (Figure 2). 

Figure 2: Regional Geological Context for The Valley project 

NB:  Geochemical footprints of Northparkes Cu-Au porphyry and local porphyry prospects Trundle Park 
and Mordialloc are compiled from multiple open file sources. Background image is aeromagnetic.

A deep diamond drill hole, FI2079 of 463m downhole 
depth and a shallow diamond drill hole, FI2081 
of 151m downhole depth (Figures 3 and 4) were 
completed to test two targets:

•  A deeper magnetic target interpreted as Ordovician 
volcanics related to porphyry style mineralisation 
which occurs beneath younger Devonian sediments in 
the region;  

•  The source of surface geochemical anomalism along 
a ferruginous ridge and an Induced Polarisation (IP) 
geophysical feature in same vicinity.

The deeper hole intersected the magnetic target at 
~350m vertical depth. The unit is a strongly epidote-
chlorite altered volcanoclastic, polymictic conglomerate 
and is interpreted as representing the Raggatt volcanics 
(Ordovician). The source of the surface geochemical 
anomaly was delineated when a series of stringer 
fault breccias were intersected across a broad zone 
and yielded anomalous copper (Cu) values of 26m 
@ 410ppm Cu downhole from 96m including 10m @ 
800ppm Cu from 97m downhole (ASX Announcement: 
27 July 2021 - Valley Results Support Potential for 
Nearby Porphyry System).     

Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 2021 Annual Report to Shareholders    /     5   PROJECT OVERVIEW

Figure 3:  Location map for the recent diamond drilling at The Valley Project. 

The shallower hole, FI2081 (150m total depth), was 
completed ~320m NW of FI2079 in order to test the 
lateral extent of the ferruginous ridge and an Induced 
Polarisation (IP) geophysical response. FI2081 is a 
scissor hole to FI2079 with the purpose of testing the 
steep structure as a host for copper mineralisation 
and determine if it was also responsible for the IP 
response. Very little copper mineralisation was observed 
with logging and assaying indicating the IP feature is 
associated with disseminated pyrite (iron sulphide) in 
younger sediments (Devonian). 

As this area was largely unexplored until last year, these 
results are very encouraging and bode well for the next 
phase of the program to vector into the source of a 
significant zone of economic mineralisation.

The next stage of the exploration program involves a 
dual approach of:   

•  Drilling magnetic features which are potentially a 

cluster of porphyry intrusive centres, consisting of 
magnetic lows and highs with marginal zones which 
could host mineralization. 

•  Testing a number of surface geochemical and 

alteration zones across the project area with focused 
aircore drilling. A total of 100 aircore holes totalling 
approximately 1,500m is planned to test these areas 
of interest.

GREEN VIEW PROJECT – RIM 100% 

Rimfire reached agreement with Perilya for the return 
of 25 out of 27 blocks from the Windy Ridge Joint 
Venture over Rimfire’s EL 5958 at Broken Hill (Figure 
5). The returned blocks are referred to as the Green 
View Project. 

The return of these blocks provides an exciting addition 
to Rimfire’s portfolio as a multi commodity explorer 
with a focus on metals that will support the future green 
economy. Broken Hill is a globally recognised area for 
metal mining and production with mature power and 
transport infrastructure. The region is attracting interest 
as a potential source of renewable energy metals such 
as cobalt for batteries. 

Green View is immediately adjacent to significant 
resources, including Cobalt Blue Holdings’ (COB) 
Railway Deposit, which has an estimated Indicated 
and Inferred resource of 74Mt @ 704 ppm cobalt 
equivalent, for 43,700 tonnes of contained cobalt. The 
Railway Deposit contains over 50% of the estimated 
resource for COB’s Broken Hill Cobalt Project and has 
been described as “Australia’s largest cobalt sulphide 
deposit – a top 10 global cobalt mine” (COB ASX 
Announcement: 10 June 2021 - Company Presentation). 

The geological units that contain the Railway Resource 
are believed to extend onto Rimfire’s Green View 
blocks. The cobalt mineralisation exhibits an associated 

Figure 5:  EL5958 Tenement, Broken Hill, NSW. 

8     /   Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 2021 Annual Report to ShareholdersVTEM (Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic) 
feature adjacent to mineralisation. Along strike of the 
prospective geological lithology a similar VTEM feature 
has been interpreted on Rimfire tenure. The underlying 
magnetic signature also suggests that the prospective 
stratigraphy extends into EL5958 before curving to the 
south-east (Figure 6). Outcrop extends at least 800m 
into EL5958 before dipping deeper and becoming 

covered by younger rocks although small areas of the 
prospective stratigraphy outcrop indicating the unit is 
likely to continue. 

The Company is now completing necessary regulatory 
approvals for completion of the transfer and planning 
the work program to be conducted at the Green View 
Project, located 25 kilometres west of Broken Hill.

COWAL PROJECT – RIM 100% 

The Cowal Project consists of two Exploration 
Licences located ~25 to 50 kilometres east of 
the Evolution Cowal gold mine (Figure 7). A key 
area of interest is directly south of Porters Mount 
which is a historical (late 1900’s) discovery 
of a large scale zone of uneconomic copper 
mineralisation (Figure 8). Data analysis over past 
12 months confirms the concept that the north – 
south structural trend on the Exploration Licence 
is crosscut by a major regional north-west – 
south-east structural corridor that extends south 
of Porters Mount and could host mineralisation 
under cover. The company plans to undertake an 
aircore drilling program to test the concept in the 
forthcoming year.

FIFIELD PROJECT – GPR Earning up to 50.1%, RIM Managed 
In May 2020 the Company entered Earn-in and Joint 
Venture agreements with Golden Plains Resources Pty. 
Ltd. (GPR) covering its 100% owned Fifield Project in 
central NSW. The project area for the Earn-in Agreement 
covers 103km2 of highly prospective ground that includes 
the Sorpresa gold and silver discovery. On completion of 
the earn-in commitments, GPR and Rimfire will form an 
unincorporated Joint Venture over the Joint Venture Area. 

Assessment Method (BAM). The BAM is a prescribed 
method for determining the biodiversity value of 
an area requiring surveys by accredited fauna and 
flora specialists. These surveys identified three plant 
community types occurring in the conceptual footprint 
of the Sorpresa Project footprint. In the forthcoming year 
further site visits will occur to complete targeted surveys 
for fauna species that will support final BAM estimates. 

Under the Earn-in GPR need to invest $1,500,000 per 
year for three years to earn a 50.1% interest in the Joint 
Venture Area and commit to fund the development of the 
Sorpresa project, including Rimfire’s portion. Rimfire will 
repay its share of the development costs from operating 
cash flows. The Earn-in is now into its second year with 
GPR having made all commitments during the first year. 
During the Earn-in period funds will be spent pursuing 
a dual strategy of exploration for further discoveries 
and ongoing work to obtain Development Consent for 
the preferred development project. Rimfire retains full 
responsibility for design, planning and implementation 
of all field program activities and meeting all regulatory 
compliance requirements. 

Sorpresa Mine Development Update

During the past year a diamond core drilling program was 
completed at the Sorpresa Mine Development. Data from 
this drilling program will assist in the development of the 
geotechnical and metallurgical design parameters for the 
Development. The core drilling will provide geotechnical 
engineering data that will allow the determination of the 
optimal pit wall slope design parameters for the mine 
plans. The metallurgical drilling will provide samples for 
further testing to refine ore processing options. 

The metallurgical samples will also provide various types 
of ore and waste samples for geochemical analysis which 
will form part of the Environmental Impact Assessment 
(EIA) that is required to obtain the Development Consent 
from the NSW Government Authorities for Sorpresa. 

In February 2021, Environmental Fauna and Flora 
Consultants visited the site as part of the process 
of completing an Environmental Impact Assessment 
(EIA) that is a prerequisite requirement for securing 
Development Consent from the NSW Government 
statutory authorities. The NSW Biodiversity Conservation 
Act (BC Act) established the Biodiversity Offsets 
Scheme (BOS) to avoid, minimise and offset impacts 
on biodiversity from development and clearing. Where 
clearing does occur, the offsets are established in 
perpetuity to compensate for the development. To 
determine a projects potential liability under the BOS 
the NSW government have developed the Biodiversity 

In parallel with this survey the company completed 
a Cultural Heritage Survey that included a Wiradjuri 
representative from the Local Area Land Council (LALC) 
who are the traditional custodians of the land. This initial 
phase of work identified some cultural artefacts outside 
the area of current Rimfire activities although data has 
been captured in Geographic Information System (GIS) 
databases for future field planning activities.

Fifield Project Exploration: Transit

Fifield Project exploration activities that are funded by 
the GPR Earn-in has been on the drilling program at 
Transit which is 4 kilometers east of Sorpresa (Figure 
9) where there have been some significant results. The 
most recent drill hole tested for deeper extensions of 
gold mineralisation, beyond Fi2072 downhole end of 
hole depth of 61m to a downhole end of hole depth of 
156.6m (ASX Announcement: 8 July 2021 - Fifield Project 
Intercept).  Drill hole Fi2072 was still in mineralisation at 
end of the hole and had an intercept of 55m at average 
grade of 0.94g/t Au from 6m hole depth with two 
significant intercepts of:   

•  14m @ 1.76g/t Au from 6m, and 

•  1m @ 9.98g/t Au from 60m.   

The Fifield Project’s broader program at Transit has 
also identified a zone of significant elevated gold 
geochemistry coincident with surface soil and auger 
bedrock samples approximately 150m to the north-
east (Figure 10). As diamond core provides significantly 
better quality data than RC drilling the diamond drill 
hole at Transit has allowed Rimfire to develop a better 
understanding of lithology and structure. Key insights 
include recognition of the following:

1. A broad halo of elevated gold geochemistry 

occurring within a strongly sheared, quartz-veined 
carbonaceous siltstone host rock with the highest 
grades appearing to lie within steep structurally 
controlled breccias, 

2. Mineralisation trends approximately NE-SW bordering 

a magnetic high (intrusive rock) and the potential exists 
for additional extensions of mineralisation along this 
structural trend.

Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 2021 Annual Report to Shareholders    /     11   PROJECT OVERVIEW

To date, 8 holes have tested the zone of highest 
surface gold grades. Only a small area of the anomaly 
has been tested so far (approximately 120 x 100m), 
and 6 of the 8 holes intercepted significant zones of 
gold. The broad zone of anomalous geochemistry of 
bedrock may possibly represent a significant Intrusion 

Related Gold System (IRGS) deposit style opportunity 
(ASX Announcement: 15 July 2019 - IRGS Sorpresa 
Basin Model). 

The next stage is to step out and test to the area 
surrounding the surface anomalies and the interpreted 
structural trend.

project area for the Earn-in Agreement covers 536km2 
of highly prospective ground. On completion of the 
earn-in commitments, GPR and Rimfire will form an 
unincorporated Joint Venture over the Joint Venture Area.  

Subject to some options in favour of GPR, GPR will 
invest up to $7.5million to earn up to a 75% interest 
in the Avondale Project. During the Earn-in period, 
funds will be spent on exploration work programs 
focusing on copper, gold, cobalt and platinum group 
elements (PGE’s). Rimfire retains full responsibility for 
development, planning and implementation of all field 
program activities and meeting all regulatory compliance 
requirements. Work program planning is in progress.

Review of Operations 

Rimfire Pacific Mining (ASX:RIM) is an ASX listed 
exploration company focused on advancing four 
projects in the Lachlan Fold Belt and one project in the 
Willyama Supergroup in New South Wales with exposure 
to Copper/Gold/PGE and Cobalt. 

The company has a successful track record of 
commercialising assets including securing two earn-
in agreements with Golden Plains Resources Pty. Ltd. 
for the Fifield and Avondale Projects. Subject to some 
options in favour of GPR, Rimfire is fully carried for up 
to $12 million of exploration expenditure across the 
projects whilst retaining management control throughout 
the earn-in periods. 

The company believes there are significant value 
catalysts to come from the next stage of work programs 
on the Projects and the company actively reviews 
potential growth opportunities.

The five key projects under management in the Lachlan 
Fold Belt and Willyama Supergroup are:

Lachlan Fold Belt – central NSW (Wiradjuri Country)

1.  Valley Project – Porphyry Copper / Gold, RIM 100%
-  Located 5km west of Kincora Copper/RareX 
Mordialloc porphyry copper-gold target.

-  Recently completed a drilling program to test 

near surface IP targets and interpreted Ordovician 
basement that hosts regional major discoveries such 
as Northparkes, Cadia and Cowal.

-  Little exploration has occurred on these tenements 

which are prospective for Copper / Gold.

3.  Fifield Project – Gold  Silver and Platinum Group 

Elements (PGE’s)

-  GPR earning up to 50.1% over 3 years and RIM 

carried through development.

-  Maiden JORC 2012 resource of 125Koz gold + 

7.9Moz silver.

-  Recent drilling at the Transit Prospect included a 

hole with an intersection of 55m @ 0.94g/t gold and 
the final 1m intersection increasing to 9.98g/t gold.

4.  Avondale Project – Cobalt, PGEs and Gold
-  GPR earning up to 75% over 4 years.

-  Currajong and KARS prospects located in the 

southern area of the project area and prospective for 
Cobalt and PGE’s respectively.

Broken Hill (Willyama Supergroup) – south-western 
NSW (Wilyakali Country)

5.  Green View Project – Cobalt, RIM 100%
-  Located 15km from Broken Hill. 

-  Adjacent to the significant Cobalt Blue Holdings 

Railway Cobalt Resource, with ~43,000t of inground 
cobalt, which is the major resource for the Cobalt 
Blue’s Broken Hill Cobalt Project.

-  Prospective host rock lithology outcropping at 
surface along strike from Railway Resource.

The Company actively enacts a process of review, rating 
and prioritising key prospect opportunities to progress 
and grow the pipeline for new discoveries. 

The Fifield and Broken Hill areas both have good access 
to infrastructure and skills suitable for any potential 
mining scenario which further supports the pursuit of 
discovery in the district.

2.  Cowal Project - Copper / Gold, RIM 100%
-  Located to the east of Evolution’s Lake Cowal 

Copper / Gold mine.

Full details of the progression of discovery activity

Junior Resource Sector Outlook and  
Financial Position

The global outlook for the resources sector continues 
to be mixed depending on mineral commodity type 
with strong demand and interest in the top tier 
mining companies with more variable interest in 
the junior resource sector. For the junior resource 
sector (exploration), there has been a noticeable 
increase of investor activity for the year. During the 
year the gold price remained steady at historically 
high levels which has seen positive support for junior 
exploration companies with strong exposure to the 
gold sector. Another increasingly emerging sector in 
junior exploration has been companies exposed to 
commodities that are expected to do well in new era 
of “Green” Energy, such as cobalt, lithium and other 
rare earth minerals that are required for better quality 
batteries through to copper minerals that are used 
extensively in transmission of electrical power. 

The Company’s cash at bank at 30 June 2021 was 
$1.6million. In addition, $0.3million and $0.1million 
was held in the Fifield and Avondale Project Accounts 
respectively at 30 June 2021. Under the Fifield and 
Avondale Project Agreements, cash calls are made 
in advance based on agreed forecast expenditure 
and the funds are deposited into the Company’s 
accounts for payments on expendiutre incurred by 
the respective projects.                 

Capital Structure

As at 30 June 2021 the capital structure of the  
Company was;

•  1,806,244,735 Ordinary Shares on Issue (RIM)

•  30,000,000 Unlisted Options, various prices and 

vesting dates

Commodity Pricing for the Period 

During the 2021 Financial Year, the gold price remained 
strong, finishing the year at USD 1,755.60 per ounce. 
Currently, the gold price is trading at AUD 2,403 per 
ounce (using an exchange rate AUD:USD of 0.73 and 
gold price as at 17 September 2021), which is close to 
record highs. The table below summarises the pricing for

The loss of the Consolidated entity amounted to 
$373,704 in the period (2020: $956,975).

Dividends

No dividends were paid during the financial year, nor are 
any recommended at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: Nil).

After Balance Date Events

Subsequent to the end of the financial year 25 of 27 
blocks of Exploration Licence 5958 have been released

since the end of the financial year have significantly 
affected or may significantly affect the operations of the

The impact of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic 
is ongoing and it is not practicable to estimate the 
potential impact, positive or negative, after the 
reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and 
is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian

social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel 
restrictions and any economic stimulus that may  
be provided.

Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 2021 Annual Report to Shareholders    /     21   

 
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

2.  Details of remuneration for the year ended  

30 June 2021

3.  Employment contracts 

4.  Share based compensation of Directors and Key 

Management Personnel

5.  Additional Disclosures relating to Key Management 

Personnel

6.  Shareholding

7.  Five year summary of key financial data

8.  Other matters

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  
suitable 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, but also within 
the financial capability of the Company at the time of 
assessment. 

Remuneration policy for Directors and senior executives 
is reviewed annually by the Board. 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.

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,

•  Leading the development of strategy, and 

communicating to stakeholders,

•  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, 

•  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,

•  Managing investor relations and Company 

communication,

•  Ability to multi-skill and cover as much of the 

Company’s skill needs from in-house resources.

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 scheme for employees 
was approved by shareholders at the Company’s 24 
November 2020 AGM. 

There has been no change to the remuneration of 
Non-Executive Directors, the cumulative pay that 
was deferred from January 2019, was paid to the 
Non-Executive Directors during the period. To align 
Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, Directors 
are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. 

22     /   Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 2021 Annual Report to ShareholdersWithheld salary payments from Senior Management 
whilst on reduced salaries when the Company was 
undertaking cost reduction activity, have also been 
paid during the period. 

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 2020 AGM the Company received 98% of ‘for’ 
votes in relation to its remuneration report for the year 
ended 30 June 2020. No feedback was received from 
shareholders in relation to its remuneration practices 
at the 2020 AGM. 

2.  Details of Remuneration for the Year Ended  

30 June 2021

Benefits to senior executives and the Non-Executive 
Directors consisted primarily of cash benefits in the 
period with a modest short-term incentive paid to the 
Managing Director. A Non-Executive Director Pool of 
$200,000 was available in 2021 ($200,000 in 2020) 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 
$140,000 in total ($111,366 in 2020).

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1  General Information

Rimfire Pacific Mining NL (the Company) is a Company limited by shares incorporated and registered in 
Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is shown on page 66.

The principal activities of the Company and the nature of the Company’s operations are explained on page 15.

The functional currency and presentation currency of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL is Australian dollars.

Note 2  Statement of significant accounting policies

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

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.  Parent Entity Information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity 

only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 20.

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 2021 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.

34      |     Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 2021 Annual Report to Shareholders

 
 
 
 
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. 

During the period, the Company received an allocation of up to $780,000 exploration credits in the 
Federal Government’s Junior Mineral Exploration Incentive (JMEI) scheme for FY2021 which can be 
distributed subject to the terms of the JMEI scheme, to eligible shareholders who were issued new shares 
in the Company’s capital raising activities during the period and will be calculated and distributed on a 
pro-rata basis after the lodgement of the Company’s FY2021 tax return.

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.

Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 2021 Annual Report to Shareholders     |      35   

 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements

  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.

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

Leasehold improvements

Plant and equipment

Office furniture

Motor Vehicles

f.  Leases

15%

7.5% - 30%

10% - 40%

20%

The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The 
Company recognises a right-of-use asset as property, plant and equipment and a corresponding lease 
liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases 
(defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets 
and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Company 
recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease 
unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits 
from the leased assets are consumed.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the 
commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily 
determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:

•  Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

•  Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at 

the commencement date;

•  The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

•  The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and

•  Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to 

terminate the lease.

The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the statement of financial position.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the 
lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease 
payments made.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease 
payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any 
initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and 
impairment losses.

The right-of-use assets are presented as ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ in the statement of 
financial position. 

The Company applies AASB 136 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for 
any identified impairment loss as described in the ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ policy (as outlined in 
the financial report for the annual reporting period).

36      |     Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 2021 Annual Report to Shareholders

 
 
 
 
Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement the lease 
liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in 
which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line “Occupancy 
costs” in the profit or loss.

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.

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.

h.  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 and direct deposits of bands with the NSW Department of Planning 
and Environment, included in trade and other receivables ($207,400). 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. 

i. 

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

j.  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 wholly 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.

k.  Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current 
classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or 
consumed in the consolidated entity’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of 
trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or 
cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months 
after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity’s 
normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 
months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability 
for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

l.  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.

m. Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any allowance for expected 
credit losses. 

n.  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.

o.  Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities represent the consolidated entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a 
customer and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the consolidated entity 
recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the 
consolidated entity has transferred the goods or services to the customer.

p.  Financial Assets and Liabilities

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.

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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

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.

q.  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.

r.  Income Recognition

Interest Revenue

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

Government Grants

The Company recognises stimulus package from the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”) as a government 
grant when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attached to them, 
and the grant will be received. The amount is recognised as other income in profit or loss.

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

s.  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.

40      |     Rimfire Pacific Mining NL 2021 Annual Report to Shareholders

t.  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.

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.

u.  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.

v.  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.

w.  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.

x.  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 2021. New and revised standards and

Note 3.   Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates 
its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. 
Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other 
various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the 
circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual 
results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next 
financial year are discussed below.

Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has 
had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to 
the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in 
which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently 
appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with 
respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting 
date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to 
the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by 
using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which 
the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-
based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next 
annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. Refer to note 18 for further information.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses carried forward and temporary differences have not 
been brought to account because Directors do not believe realisation of the deferred tax assets is probable. 
These benefits will only be obtained if:

(a)  the company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the 

benefit from the deduction for the loss to be realised;

(b)  the company continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law, and

(c)  no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the company in realizing the benefit from the deductibility 

for the loss.

Rimfire Pacific Mining NL and its wholly owned entity have not opted to enter the tax consolidation regime 
as at 30 June 2021.

Under the GPR Earn-In arrangements, forecast exploration expenditure is paid through a cash call notice 
process and is paid into a separate account to Rimfire’s operating account for the payment of exploration 
expenditure incurred by the relevant Earn-in Area as it occurs. 

The carrying amount of financial asset is assumed to be a good approximation of its fair value due to it

Note 27  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 27(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.

d.  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 2021, 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%

The above changes are based on the effect of an interest rate change in relation to funds held in deposit

to the current financial environment of low interest rates.

Note 28  Events Occurring after the Reporting Period

The impact of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic is ongoing and it is not practicable to estimate the 
potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is 
dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining 
social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be 
provided. 

At the end of the balance date, the Company reached an agreement with Perilya Limited for the return of 
25 out of 27 blocks from the Windy Ridge Joint Venture over Rimfire’s EL 5958 at Broken Hill. The returned 
blocks are referred to as the Green View Project where Rimfire will secure a 100% interest, management 
and ongoing funding responsibilities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

To the Members of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL

Opinion

We  have  audited the financial report  of Rimfire  Pacific Mining NL (the Company) and  its controlled  entity (the 
consolidated entity), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the 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 consolidated entity is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including: 

(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2021 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  consolidated  entity  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 Exploration & Evaluation Asset

Refer to Note 14 in the financial statements

The  consolidated  entity  has  capitalised  exploration 
costs with a carrying value of $14.6m.  

Our audit procedures in relation to the carrying value 
of capitalised exploration costs included:

•

Ensuring that the right to tenure of the areas
of interest was current through confirmation
with the relevant government departments;

• Critically

•

Agreeing  a  sample  of  the  additions  to
capitalised  exploration  expenditure  during
the year to supporting documentation, and
ensuring  that  the  amounts  were  capital  in
nature; and

Through review of the consolidated entity’s
ASX  announcements  and  other  relevant
documentation,  assessing  management’s
determination 
that  exploration  activities
have not yet progressed to the point where
the  existence  or  otherwise  of  an
economically recoverable mineral resource
may be determined.

We determined this to be a key audit matter due to 
the  significant  management  judgment  involved  in 
assessing  the  carrying  value  in  accordance  with 
AASB  6  Exploration  for  and  Evaluation  of  Mineral 
Resources, including:

• Determination  of  whether  expenditure  can
be  associated  with  finding  specific  mineral
resources,  and  the  basis  on  which  that
expenditure  is  allocated  to  an  area  of
interest.

Other Information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
in the consolidated entity's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

Other Information (continued)

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  consolidated entity 
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  consolidated  entity  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

This description forms part of our auditor's report.
