Review of Operations and Principal Activities 

The Group  incurred  a  loss of  $343,027 for  the  year  (2019  period:  $453,925),  relating  mainly  to  tenement  costs 
written off during the year.   

The principal activity of the Group during the financial year was the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources. 
There was no significant change in the Group’s state of affairs, other than those listed below. 

Events Subsequent to Balance Date 

The following events occurred subsequent to balance date: 

i.  During September 2020 a capital raising of 10,623,952 shares was undertaken, resulting in net proceeds of 
$627,094. The purpose  of  the  capital  raising was  to  secure  funds  for  the  costs  associated  with  material 
capital raise (as noted below). On 26 November 2020, there was a further reconfiguration to share capital 
with 10,000,000 promoter shares cancelled with 3,333,333 options issued in exchange, as agreed with the 
promoter from the previous unsuccessful IPO listing. 

ii. 

The group is currently planning a material capital raise (the “offer”) with the offer expected to be completed 
by 30 June 2021. The offer is planned to include the issue of shares, options and acquisition of material 
tenement licences. The timing and amounts of the offer details are not yet finalised and as such are not able 
to be disclosed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

1 

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies 

The  financial  statements  cover  TechGen  Metals  Ltd  (“the  Company”)  and  its  controlled  entities  (“the 
Group”). TechGen Metals Ltd is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia and 
is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. TechGen Metals Ltd is formerly 
known as International Cobalt Resources Ltd. 

Basis of Preparation 
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance 
with Australian  Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting  Interpretations  and  the  Corporations Act 
2001. 

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in 
financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions 
to which they apply. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements 
are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial statements 
and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. 

Except for the consolidated statement of cash flows, the financial statements have been prepared on an 
accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair 
value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. 

These  financial  statements  reflect  results  for  the  12  month  period  ended  30  June  2020  while  the 
comparative is for the period 28 February 2018 to 30 June 2019. As such, the amounts presented in the 
financial statements are not entirely comparable. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 3 February 2021 by the directors of the company. 

Accounting Policies 

Going Concern 
Notwithstanding the Group reporting an operating loss after tax of $343,027 (2019: $453,925) for the year 
ended 30 June 2020, a net current asset deficiency of $121,487 (2019: $115,116) and a net asset deficiency 
of $121,487 as at 30 June 2020, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as 
the Company’s directors are of the opinion that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will 
be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and payable.  

The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the planned capital raising offer being 
successful  (refer  Events  Subsequent  to  Balance Date  note).  The  Directors  believe  that  the  current  cash 
resources  of  the  Group  will  not  be  sufficient  to  fund  the  planned  execution  of  the  Group’s  principal 
activities and working capital requirements. Following completion of the offer, and under the minimum 
subscription raised, the Group expects to have a sufficient cash at bank to fund the planned execution of 
forecasted principal activities and working capital requirements. The Directors have determined that these 
funds will be sufficient to allow for the exploration and evaluation activities in accordance with its current 
plans and to provide the necessary working capital to meet its commitments for a  period of at least 12 
months  from  the  offer.  The  Group  may  also  look  to  complete  future  equity  offerings  in  order  to  raise 
additional capital as the business progresses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

1 

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 
Going Concern (cont’d) 
In  the  event  that  the Group is  unable  to  raise  sufficient capital  as  contemplated by  the  offer,  there  is  a 
material uncertainty as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, and therefore, 
whether it will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business at 
the amounts as stated in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Consolidated Statement of 
Financial Position does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded 
asset amounts, or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group 
not continue as a going concern. 

Principles of Consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of TechGen Metals Ltd 
and all of the subsidiaries. TechGen Metals Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial 
report as the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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 
over the entity. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 13 to the financial statements. All inter-
company  balances  and  transactions  between  entities  in  the  Group,  including  any  unrealised  profits  or 
losses,  have  been  eliminated  on  consolidation.  Accounting  policies  of  subsidiaries  have  been  changed 
where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the Group. 

Financial Instruments 
Initial Recognition and Measurement 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits 
itself  to  either  purchase  or  sell  the  asset  (i.e.  trade  date  accounting  adopted).  Financial  instruments  are 
initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified 'at fair value 
through profit or loss', in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. 

Classification and Subsequent Measurement 

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest 
rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability 
settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, prices quoted in an active market are 
used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. 

Amortised  cost  is  the  amount  at  which  the  financial  asset  or  financial  liability  is  measured  at  initial 
recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative 
amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the 
effective interest method. 

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period 
and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including 
fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be 
reliably  predicted,  the  contractual  term)  of  the  financial  instrument  to  the  net  carrying  amount  of  the 
financial  asset  or  financial  liability.  Revisions  to  expected  future  net  cash  flows  will  necessitate  an 
adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit 
or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

Impairment of Assets 

At the end of each reporting period, the company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may 
be impaired. The assessment will include considering external and internal sources of information. If such 
an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of 
the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use to the asset's carrying 
amount. Any excess of the asset's carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately 
in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard. Any 
impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that Standard. 
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the 
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts 
are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 

Trade and Other Payables 

Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the Group that remain 
unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts 
normally paid within 30 days of recognition of liability. 

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 (ATO). 

Income Tax 

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred 
tax expense (income). Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable 
income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) 
the relevant taxation authority.  

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liability balances 
during the year as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged 
or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period 
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which 
management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. 

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent 
that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax 
asset can be utilised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each separately 
identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward where the right of tenure for the area of 
interest  is  current  and  to  the  extent  that  they  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  the  successful 
development and commercial exploitation of the area, or alternatively sale of the area, or where activities 
in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically 
recoverable reserves. 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure assets acquired in a business combination are recognised at their 
fair value at the acquisition date. 

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of 
interest are demonstrable, the exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first 
tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining development. 

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

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. 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments 

The  directors  evaluate  estimates  and  judgments  incorporated  into  the  financial  statements  based  on 
historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of 
future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the 
company. 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure 
The  application  of  the  Group’s  accounting  policy  for  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  requires 
judgement in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits are likely, which may be based 
on  assumptions  about  future  events  or  circumstances.  Estimates  and  assumptions  may  change  if  new 
information  becomes  available.  If  after  expenditure  is  capitalised  information  becomes  available 
suggesting  that  the  recovery  of  expenditure  is  unlikely,  the  amount  capitalised  is  written  off  in  the 
Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss in the period when the new information becomes available.

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

New and Amended Standards Adopted in the Current Year 

AASB 16: Leases  
AASB  16:  Leases  (issued  February  2016)  will  supersede  the  existing  lease  accounting  requirements  in 
AASB  117:  Leases  and  the  related  Interpretations.  It  introduces  a  single  lessee  accounting  model  by 
eliminating  the  current  requirement  to  distinguish  leases  as  either  operating  leases  or  finance  leases 
depending  on  the  transfer  of  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  The  key  requirements  of  AASB  16  are 
summarised as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 
• 

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

The application of this standard has not had a material impact on the financial statements.

These costs represent the purchase (by way of cash and shares issued) of mineral 
titles in Ontario, Canada. At 30 June 2020 the Group did not meet the minimum 
exploration spend on existing mineral rights held in Canada, and therefore have 
written off these exploration assets recorded in the amount of $336,656.

The directors' overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the company in meeting its financial targets, 
whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. 

Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board of Directors on a regular basis. These 
included the credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. 

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management 

The main risk the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments is liquidity risk. There have been no 
substantive changes in the types of risks the Group is exposed to, how these risks arise, or the objectives, 
policies and process for managing these risks from the prior period. 

Liquidity Risk 
Liquidity  risk  arises  from  the  possibility  that  the  Group might  encounter  difficulty  in  settling  its  debts  or 
otherwise  meeting  its  obligations  related  to  financial  liabilities.  The  Group  manages  this  risk  through 
preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities 
and obtaining funding from a variety of sources. An undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial 
liabilities is noted below. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects 
the earliest contractual settlement dates.

The  fair values of  financial assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  presented  in  the  following  table  and  can  be 
compared to their carrying values as presented in the statement of financial position. Fair values are those 
amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties 
in an arm's length transaction. 

Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgment, where changes in 
assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Areas of judgment and the assumptions 
have been detailed below. Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is extracted from 
the market, with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. In this regard, fair 
values for listed securities are obtained from quoted market bid prices. Where securities are unlisted and no 
market quotes are available, fair value is obtained using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation 
techniques commonly used by market participants.

Events Subsequent to Balance Date 

The following events occurred subsequent to balance date: 

i.  During  September  2020  a  capital  raising  of  10,623,952  shares  was  undertaken,  resulting  in  net 
proceeds of $627,094. The purpose of the capital raising was to secure funds for the costs associated 
with  material  capital  raise  (as  noted  below).  On  26  November  2020,  there  was  a  further 
reconfiguration to share capital with 10,000,000 promoter shares cancelled with 3,333,333 options 
issued in exchange, as agreed with the promoter from the previous unsuccessful IPO listing. 

ii. 

The group is currently planning a material capital raise (the “offer”) with the offer expected to be 
completed by 30 June 2021. The offer is planned to include the issue of shares, options and acquisition 
of material tenement licences. The timing and amounts of the offer details are not yet finalised and as 
such are not able to be disclosed.  

iii.  During September 2020, the group acquired 2 exploration tenement licences and as part of the IPO 
listing capital raise offer will acquire a further 8 tenements. The exploration licences included in the 
projects require minimum spending on exploration of $226,000. 

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected 
or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the result of those operations, or the state of affairs of 
the Group in future financial periods.

spend  on  existing  mineral  rights  held  in  Canada,  and  therefore  have  written  off  these  exploration  assets 
recorded in the amount of $336,656. 

During September 2020, the group has acquired 2 exploration tenement licences and as part of the IPO listing 
capital raise offer will acquire a further 8 tenements. The exploration licences included in the projects require 
minimum spending on exploration of $226,000.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT  
TO THE MEMBERS OF TECHGEN METALS LTD  

Report on the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the accompanying financial report, of TechGen Metals Ltd (the Company), which comprises 
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June  2020, the consolidated statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated 
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies 
and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the company and the consolidated entity 
compromising the company and the entities it controlled at the year end or from time to time during the financial 
year. 

In our opinion the financial report of TechGen Metals Ltd is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including: 

a) 

Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 
and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and 

b) 

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Report section of 
our report.  

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

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net 
loss  of  $343,027  during  the  year  ended  30  June  2020  and,  as  of  that  date,  the  consolidated  entity  had  a 
negative current asset position of $121,487 and a net asset deficiency of $121,487. As stated in Note 1, these 
events or conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note  1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists 
that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, 
the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of 
business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Independence 

We are independent of the consolidated entity in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical 
requirements  of  the  Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for 
Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (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. 

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. Our objectives are to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an  audit conducted  in  accordance with Australian 
Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from 
fraud or error and are considered material if, individual or in 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 judgment 
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

• 

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

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 

that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the consolidated entity’s internal control. 

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

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’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 consolidated 
entity to cease to continue as a going concern.  

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the

disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.

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, action taken to eliminate threats 
or safeguards applied.
