Letter to Shareholders 

Dear Shareholders, 

The year ending 30 June 2019 (“Period”) has seen many changes to Silver City Minerals Limited (“Company”) (“Silver 
City”) (“SCI”), inclusive of the Company’s board being reconstituted following the resignation of the Company’s former 
Managing Director. 

The Company’s new board has conducted a review of the Company’s projects with a focus on capital preservation and 
ensuring the Company is resourced in such a way that it can continue to progress its current Broken Hill and Copper 
Blow projects while also ensuring the Company may take still take advantage of new market trends and opportunities 
for shareholders. 

Silver  City  Minerals  continues  to  focus  on  its  Copper  Blow  copper-gold  (cobalt)  project,  located  approximately  20 
kilometres south of Broken Hill. Copper-gold mineralisation is associated with magnetite-bearing rocks in a shear zone 
which extends for over 4 kilometers. In addition to the shear zone hosted mineralisation, geochemical and geophysical 
surveys suggest widespread sulphide mineralisation in adjacent  country rocks both north and south of the shear. A 
number of partly coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies occur in these zones and may host significant iron oxide 
copper-gold mineralization which appear to be associated with intrusive igneous rocks beneath alluvium and soil cover. 

The Company also continues to assess the Razorback West project for zinc, lead and silver which is immediately to 
the north of the Broken Hill orebody. Reviews suggests the possibility of an elongated lead anomaly beneath alluvial 
cover corresponding to a prospective horizon known as the Hores Gneiss. It is coincident with favorable geophysical 
anomalies  and  remains  untested  by  drilling  for  which  the  Company  will  likely  test  in  the  future.  The  host  rocks  of 
Razorback West are considered to be the fault-offset extension of the Broken Hill mine sequence and, as such, are 
prospective for Broken Hill-type zinc-lead-silver mineralisation. 

In  the  Cobar  Mining  District  the  Company  has  conducted  preliminary  reconnaissance  surveys  over  the  Tindery 
Exploration Licence located 20 kilometres to the east of the Endeavor Zinc-Lead mine. The tenement is considered to 
be prospective for both zinc-lead and copper-gold deposits and is largely covered by alluvial wash, saprolite and deep 
soils.  A  number  of  electromagnetic  conductors  were  identified  in  an  historic  exploration  program  and  never  fully 
assessed.  

The  Company’s  board,  in  keeping  with  its  directors’  duties  to  create  value  for  shareholders,  have  also  spent  time 
assessing new opportunities for the Company’s future sources of growth during the Period. The Company will continue 
to assess new opportunities for the Company to be pursued and developed in conjunction with its existing projects and 
activities. 

For, and on behalf of, the board of the Company,  

Josh Puckridge  

Non-Executive Director

Directors’ Report 

Review of Operations  

During the Period the Company continued to assess its Copper Blow project south of Broken Hill (Figure 1).  Copper-gold 

mineralisation can be (and is) associated with magnetite (ironstone) which can be detected under cover using the results 

of an existing aeromagnetic survey. Results show a magnetically anomalous zone extending over 4.5 kilometres. Copper-

gold  mineralisation  has  been  systematically  tested  over  a  strike  length  of  1  kilometre  in  the  southwestern  part  of  the 

anomaly (Figure 2). 

The Company completed four rounds of drilling to test the depth extent of the copper-gold mineralisation at Copper Blow 

and an induced polarisation (IP) geophysical target to the southeast of Copper Blow. 

Regional geophysical and geochemical surveys indicate the magnetic ironstone may be part of a much larger sulphide-

mineralised complex. While strong anomalies occur in association with ironstones, other anomalies to the northeast and 

southeast of Copper Blow suggest widespread sulphide mineralisation at depth. 

The current geological assumption remains that copper-gold and cobalt mineralisation is related to magmatic fluids derived 

from iron-magnesium igneous intrusions at depth. 

During the Period the Company was granted two new tenements - EL 8862 (Clevedale) and EL 8863 (Himalaya) – see 

Table 1.

contour) and Falcon TM gravity anomlies. Diagram shows that the location of interpreted sulphide-bearing rock defined by 
the 8mv/v contour is significantly larger than the linear magnetic anomaly which host known copper-gold mineralisation at 
Copper Blow. The Southern target has been tested by hole 18CB072 and results are pending. No significant work has 
been undertaken at the Northern Target zone. 

OPERATIONS 
Copper Blow (EL 8255, EL 8629, EL 8076; Joint venture with SCI 75%, CBH 25%) 

Drilling 
To date the Company has drilled approximately 8,500 metres at Copper Blow prospect (see ASX Release 4 October 2018). 

Drilling has tested the mineral system over a strike length of 1 kilometre; the mineralisation demonstrates the geological 
characteristics of an iron oxide copper gold deposit (IOCG), similar to those which form within an arcuate domain on the 
eastern side of the Gawler Craton in South Australia. 

Geochemistry 
As reported and summarised in the former Period’s activities report, the previously conducted soil geochemistry (December 
Quarterly Report 2018) tested the geochemical response within and adjacent to the Copper Blow shear zone.  

Three zones of anomalism have been recognised to date (Figures 3 and 4)

Directors’ Report 

1.  Copper Blow Geochemical Anomaly 

The zone has a strike length of 1.6 kilometres and is coincident with the magnetic ironstone at the southwest end 
of the belt. The soils are characterised by elevated copper (up to 2010 ppm), gold (up to 0.11 ppm), molybdenum 
(up to 35.2 ppm), nickel (up to 62.6 ppm) and cobalt (up to 114 ppm).  Rare earth elements cerium and lanthanum 
are enriched as are yttrium and phosphorous. 

2.  Northern Targets 

This  zone  extends  for  1.1  kilometres.  It  is  interpreted  to  extend  both  north  and  south  beneath  alluvial  cover 
coincident with IP anomalism and may be connected to the Southern IP anomaly. This suggests a total untested 
strike of 2.7 kilometres. 
In the central area, the outcropping rocks in the shear zone are characterised by specular hematite and magnetite. 
Gossanous  breccias  occur  at  surface  and  host  an  abundant  of  iron  oxide  and  sulphate  minerals  with  quartz; 
suggestive of sulphide at depth (Plate 1). The geochemical response in soils indicates anomalous molybdenum 
(up to 10 ppm), cobalt (up to 33 ppm) and nickel (up to 79 ppm). Rare earths cerium and lanthanum are similarly 
anomalous. Copper in this zone returned a best result of 76.3 ppm. 

A  rock  chip  sample  located  in  the  northern  part  of  this  anomaly  returned  elevated  cobalt  and  gold  with  no 
significant  copper  (sample  30566;  1485  ppm  cobalt,  0.39  g/t  gold  and  13  ppm  copper;  ASX  Release  16 
November 2017).  

Figure 3 Diagram summarises anomalous elements and their distribution. To date drilling has 
been concentrated on the North and South Zones at Copper Blow

3.  Southern IP targets 

7    >   Silver City Minerals Limited Annual Report 2019 

For personal use only 
 
 
 
 
Directors’ Report 

This is a target identified using IP. Residual soils over the IP anomaly are characterised by molybdenum (up to 
6.6 ppm), nickel (up to 37 ppm) and copper (up to 87.3 ppm) anomalism. Cerium and lanthanum are similarly 
elevated. Of interest is a consistent zinc anomaly with a peak value of 659 ppm. Drillhole 18CB072 drilled into 
this anomaly encountered anomalous zinc with copper, bismuth and molybdenum (December Quarterly Report). 

The Company has obtained approval for a RAB drilling program designed to further test the surface expression of the 
Copper Blow mineralisation was received from the NSW Department of Planning and Environment. The program covers 
an area of approximately nine square kilometres across ELs 8255, 8629 and 8076 and comprises a total of over 630 RAB 
drillholes. 

To date the Company has encountered significant copper-gold mineralisation in a magnetic ironstone located in a major 
crustal structure; the Copper Blow shear zone.  

Geological models of IOCG deposits suggest there might also be intrusion-related mineralisation adjacent to the shear. 
Work already completed suggests widespread sulphide mineralisation and strong potassic hydrothermal alteration. 

In the eastern part of the tenements there are several distinctive magnetic and gravity anomalies both north and south of 
the Copper Blow shear zone which have potential to host large copper-gold deposits. 

Razorback West (EL 8077 100% SCI) 
The  Company  has  identified  several  new  targets  based  on  coincident  lead  geochemistry,  IP  chargeability  and  gravity. 
These targets coincide with a prospective part of the rock sequence interpreted to be the Hores Gneiss. At Broken Hill, 
located 15 kilometres to the south, this rock hosts, or occurs close to Broken Hill ore zones.  To date the lead anomalies 
at Razorback West have been untested by drilling (Figure 5). 

Figure 5 Razorback West project in relation to the Broken Hill and Potosi deposits 

A widely used conceptual interpretation of the nature of the Broken Hill and Potosi ore bodies at Broken Hill can be depicted 
in a longitudinal section. It shows the doubly plunging nature of high-grade mineralisation and importantly the location of 
the Stephens Creek shear zone and Razorback West. The model suggests that high grade Pb-Zn-Ag ore should come 
close to surface within the Razorback West tenement (Figure 6).

Directors’ Report 

Non-audit services 

The Company’s auditor, BDJ Partners did not provide non-audit services to the Company during the period ended 30 June 
2019 (2018: Nil). The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard 
of  independence  for  auditors  imposed  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  The  nature  and  scope  of  each  type  of non-audit 
service provided means that auditor independence was not compromised.

The  objective  of  the  Company’s  remuneration  framework  is  to  ensure  reward  for  performance  is  competitive  and 
appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and 
the creation of value for shareholders. The Board believes that executive remuneration satisfies the following key criteria: 

(cid:102) 

(cid:102) 

(cid:102) 

(cid:102) 

(cid:102) 

Competitiveness and reasonableness 

Acceptability to shareholders 

Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation 

Transparency 

Capital management 

These criteria result in a framework which can be used to provide a mix of fixed and variable remuneration, and a blend of 
short and long-term incentives in line with the Company’s limited financial resources. 

Fees  and  payments  to  the  Company’s  Non-Executive  Directors  and  Senior  Executives  reflect  the  demands  which  are 
made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors and the senior management. Such fees and payments are reviewed 
annually by the Board. The Company’s Executive and Non-Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Officers are entitled 
to receive options under the Company’s Employee Share Option Scheme.

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

1. 

Corporate information 

The financial report of Silver City Minerals Limited (the Company) for the year ended 30 June 2019 was authorised for 
issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 26 September 2019. 

Silver City Minerals Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are 
publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange using the ASX code SCI. 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Silver City Minerals Ltd and its subsidiaries 
(the Group or Consolidated Entity). 

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Consolidated Entity are described in the Directors’ Report. 

2. 

Summary of significant accounting policies 

Basis of preparation 

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements 
of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report has been prepared on a historical 
cost basis. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars. 

Statement of compliance 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations 
Act  2001,  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations,  and  complies  with  other  requirements  of  the  law.  Accounting 
Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS 
ensures  that  the  financial  statements  and  notes  of  the  Group  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards 
(IFRS). 

Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Silver City Minerals Limited (Silver City or the 
“Company”) and its subsidiaries if applicable (“the Group”) as at 30 June each year. The financial statements of subsidiaries 
are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are 
made to  bring  into  line any dissimilar  accounting  policies  that  may  exist.  All inter-company  balances and  transactions, 
including  unrealised  profits  arising  from  intra-group  transactions,  have  been  eliminated  in  full.  Subsidiaries  are  fully 
consolidated from date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which 
control is transferred out of the Group. 

Property, plant and equipment 

Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  any  impairment  in  value.  Depreciation  is 
calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows: 

(cid:102)  Plant and equipment – 2 - 5 years 

(cid:102)  Motor Vehicle – 5 years 

Impairment 

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate 
the carrying value may not be recoverable. An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal. Any  gain or 
loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying 
amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the period the item is derecognised.  

Borrowing costs 

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

For the year ended 30 June 2019 

Interest in jointly controlled operations – joint ventures  

The  Company  has  an  interest  in  exploration  joint  ventures  that  are  jointly  controlled.  A  joint  venture  is  a  contractual 
arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. A jointly controlled 
operation involves use of assets and other resources of the venturers rather than establishment of a separate entity.  

The Company recognises its interest in the jointly controlled operations by recognising the assets that it controls and the 
liabilities that it incurs. The Company also recognises the expenses that it incurs and its share of any income that it earns 
from the sale of goods or services by the jointly controlled operations. 

Recoverable amount of assets 

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an 
indicator of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount 
of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. 
Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.  

Investments 

All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition 
charges associated with the investment. After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as held-for-trading and 
available-for-sale, are measured at fair value. Gains or losses on investments held-for-trading are recognised in the income 
statement. Gains or losses on available-for-sale investments are recognised as a separate component of equity until the 
investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time 
the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the income statement. Non-derivative financial assets 
with  fixed  or  determinable  payments  and  fixed  maturity  are  classified  as  held-to-maturity  when  the  Company  has  the 
positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included 
in this classification. Other long-term investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition, over the period to maturity. 

For  investments  carried  at  amortised  cost,  gains  and  losses  are  recognised  in  income  when  the  investments  are 
derecognised  or  impaired,  as  well  as  through  the  amortisation  process.  For  investments  that  are  actively  traded  in 
organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to Securities Exchange quoted market bid prices at the 
close  of  business  on  the  balance  sheet  date.  For  investments  where  there  is  no  quoted  market  price,  fair  value  is 
determined by reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same or is calculated 
based on the expected cash flows of the underlying net asset base of the investment. 

Purchases  and  sales  of  financial  assets  that  require  delivery  of  assets  within  the  time  frame  generally  established  by 
regulation or convention in the market place are recognised on the trade date, being the date that the Company commits 
to purchase the asset. 

Exploration, evaluation, development and restoration costs 

Exploration and evaluation 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Company is accumulated separately for each area 
of interest. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure, but 
does not include general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific connection with a particular area 
of interest. 

Exploration and evaluation costs in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current are brought 
to account in the year in which they are incurred and carried forward provided that: 

(cid:102)  Such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area, or alternatively 

through its sale; or 

(cid:102)  Exploration  and/or  evaluation  activities  in  the  area  have  not  yet  reached  a  stage  which  permits  a  reasonable 

assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. 

Once a development decision has been taken, all past and future exploration and evaluation expenditure in respect of the 
area of interest is aggregated within costs of development.

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

Exploration and evaluation – impairment 

The  Directors  assess  at  each  reporting  date  whether  there  is  an  indication  that  an  asset  has  been  impaired  and  for 
exploration and evaluation cost whether the above carry-forward criteria are met.  

Accumulated costs in respect of areas of interest are written off or a provision made in the Income Statement when the 
above criteria do not apply or when the Directors assess that the carrying value may exceed the recoverable amount. The 
costs of productive areas are amortised over the life of the area of interest to which such costs relate on the production 
output basis, provisions would be reviewed and if appropriate, written back. 

Development 

Development expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Company is accumulated separately for each area of interest in 
which  economically  recoverable  reserves  have  been  identified  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  directors.  Such  expenditure 
comprises net direct costs and, in the same manner as for exploration and evaluation expenditure, an appropriate portion 
of related overhead expenditure having a specific connection with the development property. 

All expenditure incurred prior to the commencement of commercial levels of production from each development property 
is carried forward to the extent to which recoupment out of revenue to be derived from the sale of production from the 
relevant development property, or from the sale of that property, is reasonably assured. 

No amortisation is provided in respect of development properties until a decision has been made to commence mining. 
After this decision, the costs are amortised over the life of the area of interest to which such costs relate on a production 
output basis. 

Restoration 

Provisions for restoration costs are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a 
result of a past event, and 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. If the effect of the time value of money 
is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected 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. When discounting is 
used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 

Remaining mine life 

In  estimating  the  remaining  life  of  the  mine  at  each  mine  property  for  the  purpose  of  amortisation  and  depreciation 
calculations,  due  regard  is  given  not  only  to  the  volume  of  remaining  economically  recoverable  reserves  but  also  to 
limitations which could arise from the potential for changes in technology, demand, product substitution and other issues 
that are inherently difficult to estimate over a lengthy time frame. 

Mine property held for sale  

Where the carrying amount of mine property and related assets will  be recovered principally through a sale transaction 
rather than through continuing use, the assets are reclassified as Mine Property Held for Sale and carried at the lower of 
the assets’ carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell – where such fair value can be reasonably determined, and 
otherwise at its carrying amount. Liabilities and provisions related to mine property held for sale are similarly reclassified 
as Liabilities – Mine Property Held for Sale and, Provisions – Mine Property Held for sale, as applicable, and carried at the 
value at which the liability or provisions expected to be settled. 

Trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables, which generally have 7-30 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an 
allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no 
longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified. 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an 
original maturity of one year or less. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist 
of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of any outstanding bank overdrafts, if any.

For the year ended 30 June 2019 

Trade and other payables and 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 income statement 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. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as 
a finance cost. 

Employee entitlements 

Liabilities for wages and salaries are recognised and are measured as an amount unpaid at the reporting date at current 
pay  rates  in  respect  of  an  employee’s  services  up  to  that  date.  A  liability  in  respect  of  superannuation  at  the  current 
superannuation guarantee rate has been accrued at the reporting date.  

Share-based payments 

In addition to salaries, the Company provides benefits to certain employees (including Directors and Key Management 
personnel)  of  the  Company  in  the  form  of  share-based  payment  transactions,  whereby  employees  render  services  in 
exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity-settled transactions”). 

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which 
they  are  granted.  The  fair  value  of  the  options  is  determined  by  using  the  Binomial  option  pricing  model.  In  valuing 
transactions settled by way of issue of options, no account is taken of any vesting limits or hurdles, or the fact that the 
options are not transferable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase 
in equity, over the period in which the vesting conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees 
become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period). 

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the 
extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments 
that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect 
of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income statement charge or credit for a 
period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. 

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon 
a market condition. 

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, at a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been 
modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based 
payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification. If an equity-
settled  award  is  cancelled,  it  is  treated  as  if  it  had  vested  on  the  date  of  the  cancellation,  and  any  expense  not  yet 
recognised is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated a 
replacement award on the date it is granted, the cancelled and the new award are treated as if there was a modification of 
the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as 
additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share except where such dilution would serve to reduce a loss 
per share. 

Leases 

Finance leases, which transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased 
item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of 
the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease 
liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged 
directly against income. Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset 
or the lease term.

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

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating 
leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset 
and recognised over the lease term on the same bases as the lease income. Operating lease payments are recognised 
as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Revenue 

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue 
can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: 

Sale of goods 

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and 
can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to 
the customer. 

Interest 

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts 
estimated  future  cash  receipts  through  the  expected  life  of  the  financial  instrument)  to  the  net  carrying  amount  of  the 
financial asset. 

Dividends 

Revenue is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive the payment is established. 

Income tax 

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered 
from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted 
or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. 

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 

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

(cid:102)  Except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction 
that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable 
profit or loss; and 

(cid:102) 

In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in 
joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable 
that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

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

(cid:102)  Except  where  the  deferred  income  tax  asset  relating  to  the  deductible  temporary  difference  arises  from  the  initial 
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, 
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and 

(cid:102) 

In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests 
in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences 
will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can 
be utilised. 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that 
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to 
be utilised. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the 
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted 
at the balance sheet date. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in 
the income statement.

Other taxes 

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

(cid:102)  Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which 
case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; 
and 

(cid:102)  Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. 

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

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

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

Currency 
Functional currency translation 

The  functional  and  presentation  currency  for  the  parent  company  is  Australian  dollars  ($).  The  functional  currency  of 
overseas subsidiaries is the local currency. 

Transactions and balances 

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at 
the date of the translation. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of 
exchange at the reporting date. 

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange 
rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated 
using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. 

Translation of Group Companies’ functional currency to presentation currency 

The results of the New Zealand subsidiary are translated into Australian Dollars (presentation currency) as at the date of 
each transaction. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date. 

Investment in controlled entities 

The  Company’s  investment  in  its  controlled  entities  is  accounted  for  under  the  equity  method  of  accounting  in  the 
Company’s financial statements.  

Impairment of assets 

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such 
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s 
recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and 
is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those 
from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such 
cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount 
of  an  asset  or  cash-generating  unit  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount,  the  asset  or  cash-generating  unit  is  considered 
impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. 

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount 
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment 
losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the 
impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation 
decrease). 

An  assessment  is  also  made  at  each  reporting  date  as  to  whether  there  is  any  indication  that  previously  recognised 
impairment  losses  may  no  longer  exist  or  may  have  decreased.  If  such  indication  exists,  the  recoverable  amount  is 

29    >   Silver City Minerals Limited Annual Report 2019 

For personal use only 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2019 

estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to 
determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.  

If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot 
exceed  the  carrying  amount  that  would  have  been  determined,  net  of  depreciation,  had  no  impairment  loss  been 
recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued 
amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is 
adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis 
over its remaining useful life. 

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future 
events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying 
amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: 

Share-based payment transactions 

The Company measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Binomial 
formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as detailed in Notes 14 
and 16. 

Capitalisation and write-off of capitalised exploration costs 

The determination of when to capitalise and write-off exploration expenditure requires the exercise of judgement based on 
various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions. 

Issued capital 

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. 

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Company, adjusted to exclude any costs 
of servicing equity divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares. 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Company, adjusted for: 

(cid:102)  Costs of servicing equity; 

(cid:102)  The  after  tax  effect  of  dividends  and  interest  associated  with  dilutive  potential  ordinary  shares  that  have  been 

recognised as expenses; and 

(cid:102)  Other  non-discretionary  changes  in  revenues  or  expenses  during  the  period  that  would  result  from  the  dilution  of 

potential ordinary shares; 

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus 
element. 

Going Concern 

The financial report is prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities 
and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The going concern of the Company 
is dependent upon it maintaining sufficient funds for its operations and commitments. The Company has a high level of 
confidence in its ability to successfully complete another share placement before the end of the calendar year which will 
supplement existing funds.  This is supported by the Company’s strong track record in successfully raising capital, to which 
the Company had raised $0.57 million via a share placement in January 2019.  The Directors are confident that projected 
funds are sufficient in the near term to enable the Company to continue as a going concern and as such are of the opinion 
that the financial report has been appropriately prepared on a going concern basis.  The Directors continue to monitor the 
ongoing funding requirements of the Company and as stated, have the ability to raise monies via a share placement in the 
near term.

Accounting standards issued but not yet effective 

Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not 
been adopted by the Consolidated Entity for the year ended 30 June 2019. The Consolidated Entity plans to adopt these 
standards at their application dates as detailed below. 

AASB 16 Leases (effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019)  

AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for the lessee effectively treating 
all leases as finance leases. Short term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of a low value are exempt from the lease 
accounting requirements. Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice. The Directors are yet to assess the full 
impact of AASB 16 and will apply the new standard from 1 July 2019. 

The Director’s assessment of the impact of all other new standards and interpretations is that they will not have a material 
impact on the financial report of the Company.

No provision for income tax is considered necessary in respect of the Company for the period 30 June 2019. 

The Group has a deferred income tax liability of Nil (2018: Nil) associated with exploration costs deferred for accounting 
purposes  but  expensed  for  tax  purposes.  This  liability  has  been  brought  to  account  and  offset  by  deferred  tax  assets 
attributed to available tax losses. No recognition has been given to any deferred income tax asset which may arise from 
available tax losses, except to the extent offset against deferred tax liabilities. The Company has estimated its losses at 
$17,227,753 (2018: $15,695,890) as at 30 June 2019.

deductions for the losses to be realised; 

(cid:102)  The Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and 

(cid:102)  No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses. 

(cid:102)  Silver City and its 100% owned subsidiary (MEPL) formed a tax consolidated group of which Silver City is the head 

entity.

The above amounts represent costs of areas of interest carried forward as an asset in accordance with the accounting 
policy set out in Note 2. The ultimate recoupment of deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure in respect of an area 
of  interest  carried  forward  is  dependent  upon  the  discovery  of  commercially  viable  reserves  and  the  successful 
development and exploitation of the respective areas or alternatively sale of the underlying areas of interest for at least 
their carrying value. Amortisation, in respect of the relevant area of interest, is not charged until a mining operation has 
commenced.

Joint ventures 

The Company is a party to a number of exploration joint venture agreements to explore for copper, gold, zinc and lead. 
Under the terms of the agreements the Company will be required to contribute towards the exploration and other costs if it 
wishes  to  maintain  or  increase  its  percentage  holdings.  The  joint  ventures  are  not  separate  legal  entities.  There  are 
contractual  arrangements  between  the  participants  for  sharing  costs  and  future  revenues  in  the  event  of  exploration 
success.  There are  no assets  and  liabilities attributable  to  the  Company  at  the  balance  date  resulting  from  these  joint 
ventures  other  than  exploration  expenditure  costs  carried  forward  as  detailed  in  Note  9.  Costs  are  accounted  for  in 
accordance with the terms of joint venture agreements and in accordance with Note 2(i). Percentage equity interests in 
joint ventures at 30 June 2019 were as follows:

20.  Segment information 

The operating segments identified by management are as follows: 

Exploration projects funded directly by Silver City Minerals Limited (“Exploration”) 

Regarding the Exploration segment, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the Board of directors) receives information on 
the exploration expenditure incurred. This information is disclosed in Note 9 of this financial report. No segment revenues 
are disclosed as each exploration tenement is not at a stage where revenues have been earned. Furthermore, no segment 
costs  are  disclosed  as  all  segment  expenditure  is  capitalised,  with  the  exception  of  expenditure  written  off  which  is 
disclosed in Note 9. Financial information about each of these tenements is reported to the Board on an ongoing basis.  

Corporate office activities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations 
of any segment and comprise of the following: 

(cid:102) 

Interest revenue. 

(cid:102)  Corporate costs. 

(cid:102)  Depreciation and amortisation of non-project specific property, plant and equipment.

21.  Contingent liabilities 

The  Group has provided  guarantees  totalling  $160,000  (2018:  $150,000)  in  respect  of exploration  tenements  in  NSW. 
These  guarantees  in  respect  of  exploration  tenements  are  secured  against  deposits  with  a  banking  institution.  The 
Company does not expect to incur any material liability in respect of the guarantees.  

22.  Financial instruments 

The Board as a whole is responsible for reviewing the Company’s policies on risk oversight and management and satisfying 
itself that Senior Management have developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control. 
The Company’s risk management policy has been designed to identify, assess, monitor and manage material business 
risks to ensure effective management of risk. These policies are reviewed regularly to reflect material changes in market 
conditions and the Company’s risk profile. 

The main risks identified in the Company’s financial instruments are capital risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk 
and commodity price risk. Summarised below is information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risk, their 
objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, the management of capital and financial instruments. 

Capital risk management 

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern. The Board’s policy is to 
maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development 
of the Company. In order to achieve this objective, the Company seeks to maintain a sufficient funding base to enable the 
Company to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs.  

The Board ensures costs are not incurred in excess of available funds and will seek to raise additional funding through the 
issue of shares for the continuation of the Company’s operations when required. 

The Company considers its capital to comprise of its ordinary share capital, option reserve and accumulated losses. There 
were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to 
externally imposed capital requirements. 

Financial risk management objectives 

In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This 
note  describes  the  Company’s  objectives,  policies  and  processes  for  managing  those  risks  and  the  methods  used  to 
measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements. 

During the period there have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its 
objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods 
unless otherwise stated in this note. 

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company’s risk management objectives and policies and, 
whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that 
ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company’s finance function. The Company’s risk 
management policies and objectives are designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the 
Company where such impacts may be material. The Board receives regular reports from the Financial Controller through 
which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it 
sets. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. The Company does not use 
derivative financial instruments to hedge these risk exposures.  

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the 
Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these risks are set out below. 

Credit risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the 
Company. 

The  Company  mitigates  credit  risk  on  cash  and  cash  equivalents  by  dealing  with  banks  that  have  high  credit-ratings 
assigned by Standard and Poors. There are two counterparties for Cash and Cash equivalents which are Commonwealth

For the year ended 30 June 2019 

Bank of Australia and Bank of Western Australia Limited. Credit risk of receivables is low as it consists predominantly of 
GST recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office and interest receivable from deposits held with regulated banks. 

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is as follows:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligation as they fall due. The Company’s 
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities 
when due. 

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an appropriate risk management 
framework for the management of the Company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity requirements. The 
Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash 
flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

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

Interest rate risk 

The Company’s exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s cash holdings 
and short term deposits. These financial assets with variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. All 
other financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing. The Company does 
not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk. 

At balance date, the Company was exposed to floating weighted average interest rates as follows:

The Company invests surplus cash in interest-bearing term deposits with financial institutions and in doing so it exposes 
itself to the fluctuations in interest rates that are inherent in such a market. Term deposits are normally invested between 
7 to 90 days and other cash at bank balances are at call. 

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is set out in the table below:

The above analysis assumes all other variables remain constant. 

Commodity price risk 

The  Company  is  exposed  to  commodity  price  risk.  This  risk  arises  from  its  activities  directed  at  exploration  and 
development of mineral commodities. If commodity prices fall, the market for companies exploring for these commodities 
is affected. The Company does not hedge its exposures. 

Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities 

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities of the Company approximate their net fair values, given the short 
time frames to maturity and or variable interest rates.

23.  Commitments 

In order to maintain the Company’s tenements in good standing with the New South Wales Department of Planning and 
Environment  –  Resources  and  Geoscience,  the  Company  may  be  required  to  incur  exploration  expenditure  under  the 
terms of each licence. Exploration licences renewed or granted in NSW after 1 July 2016 have no exploration expenditure 
commitment. These commitments are not binding as exploration tenements can be reduced or relinquished at any time.

It is likely that the granting of new licences and changes in licence areas at renewal or expiry will change the expenditure 
commitment to the Company from time to time.

There  were,  at  the  date  of  this  report,  no  matters  or  circumstances  which  have  arisen  since  30  June  2019  that  have 
significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the members of Silver City Minerals Limited, 

Report on the Financial Report  

Opinion 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Silver  City  Minerals  Limited  (the 
company and its subsidiaries) (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statements of 
financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated 
statements of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant 
accounting policies and other explanatory information, 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 

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  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 the key audit 
matter 

Capitalised Deferred Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 
$5.8 million 
Refer to Note 9 

The consolidated entity owns the rights 
to several exploration licenses in New 
South Wales and Queensland. 
Expenditure relating to these areas is 
capitalised and carried forward to the 
extent they are expected to be recovered 
through the successful development of 
the respective area or where activities in 
the area have not yet reached a stage 
that permits reasonable assessment of 
the existence of economically 
recoverable reserves. 

This area is a key audit matter due to: 

(cid:120)  The significance of the balance; 
(cid:120)  The inherent uncertainty of the 
recoverability of the amount 
involved; and 

(cid:120)  The substantial amount of audit work 

performed. 

Our audit procedures included amongst 
others: 

(cid:120)  Assessing whether any facts or 
circumstances exist that may 
indicate impairment of the 
capitalised assets; 

(cid:120)  Performing detailed testing of 
source documents to ensure 
capitalised expenditure was 
allocated to the correct area of 
interest;  

(cid:120)  Performing detailed testing of 
source documents to ensure 
expenditure was capitalised in 
accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards; 

(cid:120)  Obtaining external confirmations to 
ensure the exploration licences are 
current and accurate; and 

(cid:120)  Assessing the reasonableness of the 
capitalisation of employee’s salaries. 

Other Information  

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

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

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

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

For personal use only 
 
 
 
 
Directors' Responsibility 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 Responsibility 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. 

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

(cid:120) 

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

(cid:120)  Obtain  an  understanding of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in order  to design 
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

(cid:120)  Evaluate the appropriateness  of accounting policies used and the reasonableness  of 

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

(cid:120)  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use  of the going concern basis of 
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty 
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s 
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, 
we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in 
the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our 
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s 
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue 
as a going concern.  

(cid:120)  Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial  report, 
including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying 
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

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

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

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