ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Letter from the Chairman
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Tempest Minerals Ltd (Tempest or the Company), I take
pleasure in presenting the Annual Report for 2022.
Tempest has had a busy year, raising further funds, advancing work on its key projects and exploring
other opportunities to deliver value to shareholders.
At its Meleya Project an initial drilling campaign was completed with a significant discovery in the first
hole with multiple zones of copper mineralisation. Further substantial mineralisation was intercepted
in the second hole drilled at Meleya and further work is planned. Tempest also secured further
ground, doubling its granted tenure and securing a dominant landholding within a new mineral
province.
At its Euro Project a drilling program was completed with sulphides intercepted in multiple holes and
Tempest believes that the Mineralisation corridor extends over 1km. Lithium potential has also been
identified.
Ongoing fieldwork at the Euro Project continues to uncover geology prospective for both gold, base
metals and iron ore in an environment known for world class deposits including 4 major mining
projects within 5km. Work at Euro has identified the presence of iron rich geology mapped during
reconnaissance field work with an additional 45 outcrops of similar iron rich geology in the south and
central parts of the Euro Project which has extended the overall potential strike length to over 1 km.
At Mt Magnet, target zones at Range to be drill tested across the next 18 months. New geological
models for the region include Intrusion Related Gold which further increases the prospectivity of the
area.
In April 2022, Tempest was pleased to announce it had completed a significant capital raising of
$8.44 million (before costs) to support the acceleration of exploration at the Yalgoo and Mount
Magnet project areas in Western Australia.
Tempest also has entered into agreement with Karara Mining Limited which provides Tempest with
access to 138km2 of underexplored Yalgoo Greenstone Belt and an exclusive right to earn up to 70%
of the project area over 4 years.
Tempest also secured agreement with Lole Mining Ltd which gives Tempest various rights in respect
of the world class portfolio of assets including the high grade Tolukuma Mine (+1MOz gold historic
production) and Mt Penck Project (Historical Exploration Targets) in Papua New Guinea (PNG). In
addition to committing to invest $1 m towards the progression of the PNG projects, Tempest is able
to continue due diligence and has a right to acquire Lole Mining for an equity transaction valued at
$25.69M if Lole has not completed an IPO by 31 December 2022.
I would like to extend my thanks to the Company’s Managing Director Mr Don Smith, my fellow
Directors and the management team for their ongoing efforts in advancing the Company’s projects
and look forward to being able to update all shareholders with the progress on exploration of our
projects over the course of the coming year.
During the period, the Company advised with deep sadness and sincere condolences the sudden
death of Non-Executive Director Vincent Mascolo. Vincent was one of the founders of Tempest and
provided continual guidance to the Tempest Board of Directors. With his contributions to both
Tempest and other listed companies, he was a highly regarded and well-respected member of the
mining and exploration sector. He will be sorely missed by many people.
On behalf of the Board, I thank you for your continued support and look forward to bringing you
further news as our exploration efforts continue.
Yours faithfully
Brian Moller
Chairman

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Review of Operations
Tempest Minerals Limited (TEM or Tempest) continued its exciting rise as an exploration and
development company within the global mineral industry with an active 2021/2022 financial year
and a number of ‘firsts’. The first drillholes ever drilled at the flagship Meleya Project resulted in the
discovery of mineralisation at the Orion Target. The Company’s first drilling at Euro Project also
extended known mineralisation at the Calais Target whilst highlighting multi-element potential and
delineating a greater than 1km corridor for future exploration. Tempest also signed a non-binding
MOU with Karara Mining Ltd with the view to entering into a joint venture on ground adjoining the
Euro Project. The first ever exploration at the Rocky Hill Project uncovered highly anomalous Lithium
and pathfinder elements in surface sampling and resulted in an expansion of the project tenure.
Highlights
● Maiden drillhole at the Meleya Project co-funded by the WA state government EIS program
intersected copper and other base metal mineralisation
● Multiple polymetallic intercepts at the Company’s first drilling program at the Euro Project in
addition to the identification of lithium potential
● Highly anomalous lithium and pathfinder elements in surface sampling at the Rocky Hill

Review of Operations
Yalgoo
Tempest enjoys a dominant position with one of the largest granted holdings in the Yalgoo region of
Western Australia. This contains a near contiguous 100 kilometres strike length of the Yalgoo mineral
field. This is separated into 4 geological segments with each having a slightly different geology and
exploration focus. These are known as the Messenger, War West, Meleya and Euro Projects
respectively.

Review of Operations
Meleya Project
Background
The Meleya Project is part of Tempest Minerals’ flagship Yalgoo Portfolio with
a combined tenure of 4 exploration leases extending over more than
600km2. Tempest has for some time considered the target zones at Meleya
to represent one of the most exciting greenfields base and precious metal
upside exploration opportunities in the industry today.
In 2019, the TEM technical team noted discordant geophysical signatures
which did not correlate with existing geological maps of the region.
In 2020/21, interpretations, based on extensive fieldwork, resulted in the
length of a previously
identification of more than 50 km of strike
unrecognised and unexplored segment of the Yalgoo Greenstone Belt
which currently hosts a number of world class mines.
In March 2022, TEM commenced state government co-funded (EIS) drilling
of the first 2 drill holes for the purpose of establishing stratigraphic controls
over the new geological province. Both drill holes, totaling 1,730.5m in the
Orion Target, encountered multiple zones of visual mineralisation.
Significantly, this program revealed the presence of multiple mineralisation
styles across multiple geologic settings, presently considered to be consistent
with volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) and intrusion-related mineral
systems.

EIS approval
Tempest was successful in its application in round 24 of the Western Australian Government’s
Exploration Incentive Scheme. The highly competitive Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) provides
funding for research-based geoscience (including drilling) with aims to stimulate increased private
sector resource exploration. This grant allows up to $150,000 towards co-funded drilling at the Meleya
Project.
Orion Drilling
In February 2022, Tempest commenced an EIS co-funded drilling program at Meleya Project
designed to test a correlative geochemical and magnetic anomaly known as the Orion Target. The
Orion target drilling program - which consisted of 2 x deep diamond drill holes for a total of 1,730.5m.
The purpose was to drill a coherent cross section of the so called Eastern Yalgoo Greenstone belt to
develop a stronger understanding of the stratigraphy to assist future exploration in the new mineral
province.

Review of Operations
Figure 5: Plan View of the Orion target holes WARDH72 / 73 with magnetics (TMI-sun45)
WARDH72 was drilled to a final depth of 709.1 metres and intersected multiple zones of mineralisation
including.
● ~8 metres of interbedded magnetite/base metal mineralised geological strata from 18
metres
● ~10 metres of mineralisation within a 20 metres disseminated sulphide zone from 422 metres;
and
● ~18 metres disseminated within a broader ~100 metre disseminated sulphide and strongly
potassic altered intrusive zone from 500m
WARDH73 was drilled to a depth of 1021.4 metres and had intersected further significant
mineralisation including:
● ~400m of disseminated mineralisation from surface
● 3 zones of mineralisation from 466m
● 12m of mineralisation from 587m
● 16m of disseminated sulphides from 804m.
● Broad zones of disseminated mineralisation and strongly potassic altered intrusive zone from
911 metres to end of hole.
Subsequent to the end of the reporting period TEM announced the presence of highly elevated
metals including copper and zinc which correlated with visual logs of mineralisation noted in the
above drilling. TEM also announced the completion of downhole geophysics on WARDH72/73.

Euro Project
Background
The Euro Project covers more than 176km2 of 100% Tempest owned tenements
in the Yalgoo region of Western Australia. Parts of the project were explored in
the 1990’s and early 2000’s for gold and iron ore but due to poor economic
conditions at the time of previous exploration, the prospects had not been
rigorously analysed.
The Euro Project is located at the confluence of 4 current major operations:
Karara (Iron), Shine (Iron), Mt Mulgine (Gold/Tungsten) and Rothsay
(Gold/Copper) and share the same geology. Yet despite this, much of the
project remains largely unexplored and highly prospective for a number of
commodities. Drilling in the North of the project area encountered significant
gold mineralisation.
TEM conducted large amounts of field work in preparation for drilling in the
same general area. In late 2021/early 2022 drilled several targets and
encountered extensive mineralisation which has extended the project size and
prospectivity.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Review of Operations
Activities
Fieldwork
Frequent fieldwork was undertaken at the Euro Project including sampling and mapping. Ongoing
geological mapping and modelling has shown that the key stratigraphy at the Calais target has
been disrupted by several generations of deformation as evidenced by macro scale folding seen in
geophysics and aerial imagery. The major folding system appears northwest–southeast with
remnants of a later phase of refolding striking north–south and east–west. Multiple generations of
shearing are also present, including offsets of fold axial planes. At least two of the shearing events
appear relevant to the presence of gold mineralisation at the nearby Rothsay Mine as well as the
Euro Project.
Mapping at the Euro project identified multiple outcrops of iron rich formations which are prospective
for iron ore and gold. The iron potential is highlighted by the close proximity of multiple world class
iron ore mines. The iron rich formations are also known to host gold deposits throughout the region.
This work has also shown that the structural zone which may have not been apparent in previous
interpretations due to 3 dimensional errors, appears to host much of the mineralisation in historic
drilling sits within a more than 1-kilometre-long corridor.
Figure 8: Outcropping iron formations at the Euro Project
As part of ongoing data analysis, TEM recognised the presence of lithium bearing pegmatites noted
in historic geological work at Euro. These pegmatite dykes appear to be younger (cross cutting
existing geology being studied) and TEM are currently evaluating methods to explore further
including correlating existing data and looking for additional targets through geochemistry and
remote sensing.

Calais Drilling
TEM completed an initial diamond drilling program in early 2022 which tested several new targets, in
addition to testing the historic thick, high grade intercepts previously drilled at the Calais target.
Approximately 890m of drilling at the project encountered broad zones of strong alteration (chlorite,
biotite, albite and garnet with visible mineralisation of quartz breccias) consistent with historic gold
results in addition to zones which included sulphides as part of skarn or vms like alteration.
Assays from the reconnaissance program displayed the presence of widespread polymetallic
mineralisation including peak values included:
Iron - 38% Fe (1.2m from 4m downhole WARDH67)
• Gold - 4.1 gpt gold (2.9m from 130m downhole WARDH71)
•
• Copper - 0.15% copper (2.5m from 163m dowhole WARDH71)
Zinc - 0.14% zinc (3.3m from 68.7m downhole WARDH66)

Karara JV
In June 2022, TEM signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to enter into a joint venture
(JV) with Karara Mining Limited. Upon completion of the agreement, the JV will allow TEM to explore
138km2 of highly prospective and underexplored Yalgoo Greenstone Belt directly adjacent and
potentially geologically related to the mineralisation present at the Euro Project.
Under the staged agreement TEM will have the exclusive right to earn up to a 70% legal and
beneficial interest in the Assets over a 4 year earn-in period and will entail exploration expenditure of
up to $1.2M and milestone payments totalling $50,000. The deal is subject to normal due diligence
and other conditions being met.

War West Project
Background
The War West Project is interpreted by Tempest to host a significant Intrusive
Related Gold System (IRGS) of which more recent high-profile projects such as
De Grey Mining Ltd’s (ASX: DEG) Hemi Deposit have spotlighted the potential
for this lesser known mineralisation style in Western Australia.
The Warriedar West Project is ~123km2 of granted tenure with multiple known
gold occurrences and sits within 20km of two underutilised milling and
processing facilities.
The War West Project is exemplified by a large 15km x 3km highly altered zone
of intrusive monzonite that displays large scale multiple indicator geochemical
anomalies and high-grade vein swarms.
The project continues to host high grade rock chips, frequent visible gold and
significant alluvial and artisanal hard rock gold mining within the project
bounds.

Activities
The discovery of substantial mineralisation at the Meleya Project has resulted in a reassessment of the
War West Project which possesses the same diffuse geophysical signature visible in the stratigraphy
drilled in WARDH73 at the Orion Target. Tempest continued with data review and further field work
with the view towards drill targeting at the War West Project.
Messenger Project
Background
The Messenger Project is the northern most segment of the TEM Yalgoo holdings.
The project comprises 6 granted and 1 pending tenement totalling ~190km2.
The project is area is located nearby a number of existing and historic mines
including the world class 29M Golden Grove base and precious metal mine.
The project itself and neighbouring prospecting leases have all been subject to
artisanal mining since at least the late 1890’s when gold was first discovered,
and the project hosted a state processing facility which processed ore at an
estimated grade of between 2 and 10 ounces per ton.
The Messenger Project has outcrops of key geology known to host the above
mining centres as well as large outcrops of underexplored mafics, ultramafics
and greenstone and associated quartz lodes.

Rocky Hill
Background
The Rocky Hill Project is 100% TEM owned tenure (29km2 granted tenure, 250km2 pending) located
approximately 100km from Perth within the exciting new exploration front known as the South West
Terrane and includes neighbours like Newmont Corporation.
The project is primarily a lithium exploration target however and there is potential for other minerals
including gold, magnesium and high purity alumina (HPA).
Activities
TEM completed reconnaissance field mapping and
surface sampling at the Rocky Hill Project with more
than 60 surface samples taken across the project.
This preliminary work yielded multiple exciting
anomalous geochemical zones of Lithium in soil up
to 60.3 ppm and strong Lithium–caesium–tantalum
(‘LCT’) and pathfinder elements anomalies.
With the new geochemical results in mind, Tempest
has applied for a substantial spatial expansion of the

Lithium (International Exposure)
Tempest maintains a strong de-risked position in the global lithium market through corporate interests
in international projects (hard rock lithium exploration targets in Africa and lithium brine in the USA).
African Lithium
TEM previously entered into a sale agreement with African focussed multi-commodity
explorer Premier African Minerals Limited (AIM listed under the ticker PREM to purchase
the African projects for consideration of AUD$150,000 in Premier shares. Tempest
retains exposure to the projects and Premier through its current equity holding of
65,000,000 shares.
USA Lithium
The Company sold its 80% interest in the Tonopah Lithium Project in
Nevada, United States of America, to ASX listed Argosy Minerals Ltd
(ASX:AGY). Tempest retains exposure to the project through an agreed
milestone payment of $250,000 payable upon Argosy announcing a JORC
compliant reserve at the project of at least one million tonnes of lithium
carbonate equivalent product or the commencement of commercial
production of lithium product at the Tonopah Lithium Project.
Strategy
Tempest’s strategy is to maximise shareholder value and benefit all through the discovery and
development of high potential precious, base and energy metals. We will achieve this by being
industry leaders through excellence in sustainable business, innovation and science.
Growth
As part of the Company’s obligation to increase shareholder value, Tempest frequently reviews
organic and acquisition-based growth opportunities which fit the company’s corporate and
technical criteria.
Likely Developments
The Company will continue its mineral exploration activities with the objective of finding mineralised
resources. The Company will also consider the acquisition of further prospective exploration interests
and where appropriate secure joint venture partners to assist in financing exploration activities.

Directors’ Report
Treasury policy
The Group does not have a formally established treasury function. The Board is responsible for managing
the Group’s finance facilities. The Group does not currently undertake hedging of any kind and is not
currently directly exposed to material currency risks.
Liquidity and funding
The Group has sufficient funds to finance its operations and exploration activities, and to allow the Group
to take advantage of favourable business opportunities, not specifically budgeted for, or to fund
unforeseen expenditure.
Significant Changes in State of Affairs
Other than the securities issued as noted above, there were no other significant changes in the state of
affairs of the Group in the financial year.
Subsequent Events
On 5 August 2022, the Company entered into a conditional agreement with Lole Mining (Lole) to acquire
the world class portfolio of assets including the high grade Tolukuma Mine and Mt Penck project in Papua
New Guinea for an equity transaction valued at $25.69 million, subject to due diligence and other
regulatory requirements, including shareholder approval.
Subsequent to this announcement, the agreement with Lole was varied and the Company has agreed to
invest $1 million in Lole and retains the right, but not the obligation, to acquire Lole if Lole has not
completed an IPO within 120 days of the variation.
Other than the matters noted above, there are no material matters or circumstances that have arisen
since the end of the year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the
Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
Business Results
The prospects of the Group in progressing their exploration projects may be affected by a number of
factors. These factors are similar to most exploration companies moving through exploration phase and
attempting to get projects into development. Some of these factors include:
▪
Exploration – the results of the exploration activities may be such that the estimated resources are
insufficient to justify the financial viability of the projects. The Group undertakes extensive
exploration and product quality testing prior to establishing JORC compliant resource estimates
and to (ultimately) support mining feasibility studies. The Group engages external experts to assist
with the evaluation of exploration results where required and utilises third party competent persons
to prepare JORC resource statements or suitably qualified senior management of the Group.
Economic feasibility modelling of projects will be conducted in conjunction with third party experts
and the results of which will usually be subject to independent third-party peer review.
▪ Regulatory and Sovereign – the Group currently operates only in Australia during the year and
deals with local regulatory authorities in relation to the exploration of its properties. The Group may
not achieve the required local regulatory approvals to continue exploration or properly assess
development prospects. The Group takes appropriate legal and technical advice to ensure it
manages its compliance obligations appropriately.
Page 25
TEMPEST MINERALS LTD- ACN 612 008 358
ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Directors’ Report
▪
▪
▪
▪
Social Licence to Operate – the ability of the Group to secure and undertake exploration and
development activities within prospective areas is also reliant upon satisfactory resolution of native
title and (potentially) overlapping tenure. To address this risk, the Group develops strong, long term
effective relationships with landholders with a focus on developing mutually acceptable access
arrangements. The Group takes appropriate legal and technical advice to ensure it manages its
compliance obligations appropriately.
Environmental – All phases of mining and exploration present environmental risks and hazards. The
Group’s operations are subject to environmental regulations pursuant to a variety of state and
municipal laws and regulations. Environmental legislation provides for, among other things,
restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in
association with mining operations. Compliance with such legislation can require significant
expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may
be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner expected to result in stricter
standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability and potentially increased capital
expenditures and operating costs. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a
heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The
Group assesses each of its projects very carefully with respect to potential environmental issues, in
conjunction with specific environmental regulations applicable to each project, prior to
commencing field exploration. Periodic reviews are undertaken once field exploration
commences.
Safety – Safety is of critical importance in the planning, organisation and execution of the Group’s
exploration and development activities. The Group is committed to providing and maintaining a
working environment in which its employees are not exposed to hazards that will jeopardise an
employee’s health, safety or the health and safety of others associated with our business. The
Group recognises that safety is both an individual and shared responsibility of all employees,
contractors and other persons involved with the operation of the organisation. The Group has a
Safety and Health Management system which is designed to minimise the risk of an uncontrolled
safety and health event and to continuously improving safety culture within the organisation.
Funding – the Group will require additional funding to continue exploration and potentially move
from the exploration phase to the development phases of its projects. There is no certainty that
the Group will have access to available financial resources sufficient to fund its exploration,
feasibility or development costs at those times.
▪ Market – there are numerous factors involved with exploration and early stage development of its
projects, including variance in commodity price and labour costs which can result in projects
being uneconomical.
Environmental Issues
The Group is subject to significant environmental regulations under the (Federal, State and local) laws in
which the Group operates, which currently includes Australia.
The directors monitor the Group’s compliance with environmental obligations. The directors are not aware
of any compliance breach arising during the year and up to the date of this report.
Native Title
Mining tenements that the Group currently holds, may be subject to Native Title claims. The Group has a
policy that is respectful of the Native Title rights and will, as required, negotiate with relevant indigenous
bodies.

Directors’ Report
Covid-19
The financial results for the year have been influenced by the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and the
resulting changes in government legislation relating to matters such as limited physical contact between
staff and with clients, temporary closure of some businesses that the Group would otherwise have traded
with, changes to the welfare system and various stimulus payments.
It is not practical to quantify the exact financial impact of COVID-19, but changes in the current year’s
result that are directly or indirectly attributable to COVID-19 include:
-Reduced travel costs
-Increased information technology costs
-Increased workplace health and safety costs
-Physical access to some locations in Western Australia were limited for a short period.
The Group has taken the following steps to minimise regulatory and financial risk to the business
-Significantly reducing staff travel to minimise physical contact
-Enabling staff to work from home, where possible
-Education programs for staff to build awareness of how to reduce risk of infection
-Maintaining relationships with suppliers and other partners
-Continuous updating of cash-flow projections as circumstances change.
Remuneration Report (Audited)
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and other key management
personnel.
The names of key management personnel of Tempest Minerals Ltd who have held office during the
financial year are:
Brian Moller
Non-Executive Chairman
Don Smith
Managing Director
Vincent Mascolo
Non-Executive Director (ceased 10 March 2022)
Andrew Haythorpe
Non-Executive Director
Owen Burchell
Non-Executive Director
The Group’s remuneration policy seeks to align director and executive objectives with those of
shareholders and the business, while at the same time, recognising the early development stage of the
Group and the criticality of funds being utilised to achieve development objectives. The board believes
the current policy has been appropriate and effective in achieving a balance of these objectives.
The Group’s remuneration policy provides for long-term incentives to be offered through a director and
employee share option plan and also through a performance rights plan. Options may be granted under
these plans to align directors’, executives’, employees’ and shareholders’ interests. Two methods may be
used to achieve this aim, the first being performance rights and options that vest upon reaching or
exceeding specific predetermined objectives, and the second being options granted with higher exercise
prices (than the share price at issue) rewarding share price growth.
The board of directors is responsible for determining and reviewing the Group’s remuneration policy,
remuneration levels and performance of both executive and non-executive directors. Independent
external advice will be sought when required. No independent external advice was sought during the
current year.
Performance-Based Remuneration
Performance-based remuneration includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to
reward key management personnel for reaching or exceeding specific objectives or as recognition for
strong individual performance. Short-term incentives are available to eligible staff of the Group and may
be comprised of cash bonuses, determined on a discretionary basis by the board. No short-term
incentives were made available during the year.
Page 27
TEMPEST MINERALS LTD- ACN 612 008 358
ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Directors’ Report
Remuneration Report (Audited) (Continued)
Long-term incentives are comprised of share options and performance rights, which are granted from
time-to-time to encourage sustained strong performance in the realisation of strategic outcomes and
growth in shareholder value.
The exercise price of the options is determined after taking into account the underlying share price
performance in the period leading up to the date of grant and if applicable, performance conditions
attached to the share options. Subject to specific vesting conditions, each option is convertible into one
ordinary share.
The Group’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of board members and key
executives is set out below.
Directors
Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time,
commitment and responsibilities. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-
executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and is not linked
to the performance of the Group. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-
executive directors approved by shareholders is currently $300,000. One-third, by number, of non-
executive directors retires by rotation at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. Retiring directors are
eligible for re- election by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company. The appointment
conditions of the non-executive directors are set out and agreed in letters of appointment.
Executives
The remuneration structure for executives is based on a number of factors, including length of service,
particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the Group.
The executives receive payments provided for under an employment or service agreement, which may
include cash, superannuation, short-term incentives, and equity-based performance remuneration.
The Company agreed terms with Mr Don Smith under which Mr Smith agreed to be employed as the
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO Agreement). The key terms of the
CEO agreement are set out below:
•
•
•
Base remuneration of $240,000 per annum inclusive of superannuation (from ASX listing date,
being 3 April 2020);
Long term incentive and KPIs to be decided by the Board; and
6 months’ written notice of termination by Mr Smith and the shorter of 12 months written notice or
the remaining period left in the initial term by the Company.

1. 16 million options were issued to directors, following shareholder approval received at a general meeting of shareholders
held In August 2020. Refer to Note 21 for assumptions used to value these options.
Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth, and Director and Executive Remuneration
During the financial year, the Company has generated losses as its principal activity was mineral
exploration. As the Company is still in the exploration and development stage, the link between
remuneration, company performance and shareholder wealth is tenuous. Share prices are subject to the
influence of commodity prices and market sentiment towards the sector, and as such, increases and
decreases might occur independent of executive performance and remuneration.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are for the Group consisting of Tempest Minerals Ltd and its Controlled Entities.
Tempest Minerals Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The principal
activity of the Group during the year was gold and lithium exploration.
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards, and other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Tempest Minerals Ltd is a for-profit entity
for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The financial statements are presented in Australian
dollars.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical cost,
except for held for sale assets that are fair valued. The financial report was authorised for issue on 29
September 2022 by the directors of the Company. Separate financial statements for Tempest Minerals Ltd
as an individual entity are no longer presented following a change to the Corporations Act 2001. However,
financial information required for Tempest Minerals Ltd as an individual entity is included in Note 26.
Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented
below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the
continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business.
Principles of Consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Tempest
Minerals Ltd ("Company" or "parent entity") as at 30 June 2022, and the results of all subsidiaries for the
period then ended. Tempest Minerals Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial
statements as the Group.
The names of the subsidiaries are contained in Note 24. All subsidiaries in Australia have a 30 June financial
year end and are accounted for by the parent entity at cost.
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group has control over an entity when
the Group is exposed to, or has a right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the
ability to use its power to affect those returns. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which
control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies
are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the
impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of controlled entities have been changed where
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling Interests
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-
controlling interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership
Page 39
TEMPEST MINERALS LTD - ACN 612 008 358
ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Principles of Consolidation (Continued)
interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation
at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets.
Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and
each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within
the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income.
Changes in ownership interests
When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the
entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in the carrying amount recognised in profit or loss.
The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained
interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in
other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly
disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources
and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director.
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used
by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the
allocation of resources.
The Group is managed primarily on the basis of geographical locations as these locations have notably
different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined
on the same basis. Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where
the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are similar with respect to any
external regulatory requirements. Management currently identifies the Group as having only one
reportable segment, being the exploration of mineral projects in Western Australia.
Income Tax
The income tax expense/(income) for the period comprises current income tax expense/(income) and
deferred tax expense/(income). Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable
on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as
at reporting date. Current tax liabilities/(assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be
paid to/ (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances
during the period as well unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense/(income) is
charged or credited directly to equity instead of profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are
credited or charged directly to equity.
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, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at
reporting date. 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 and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets
also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred
income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business

Income Tax (Continued)
combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. The Company and its
Australian 100% owned controlled entities have formed a tax consolidated group.
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. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised
in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation
and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the
benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of
interest. Such expenditures comprise net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead
expenditure but do not include overheads or administration expenditure not having a specific nexus with
a particular area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to
be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet
reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable
reserves and active or significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.
A regular review will be undertaken on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of
continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. A provision is raised against exploration
and evaluation assets where the directors are of the opinion that the carried forward net cost may not be
recoverable or the right of tenure in the area lapses. The increase in the provision is charged against the
results for the year. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against
profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over
the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
Restoration Costs
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and
are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining
plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with
clauses of the exploration and mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future
costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted for on a prospective basis. In determining the
costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to
community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly, the costs have been determined on the basis
that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.
The Group is not currently liable for any future restoration costs in relation to current areas of interest.
Consequently, no provision for restoration has been deemed necessary.
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and
value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its
recoverable amount is expensed to profit or loss.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Other Receivables
Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate fair
value. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of receivables. Collateral is not held as
security, and the receivables are not exposed to foreign exchange risk.
The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime
expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped
based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to
insignificant risk of changes in value.
Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs (net of tax where the deduction can be utilised)
arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds
received.
Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent financial liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end
of the financial year and which are unpaid.
Financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost and are initially measured at fair value including
transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method.
Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-60 days terms. Due to their short-term
nature trade and other payables are not discounted.
Share Based Payments
The Group makes equity-settled share based payments to directors, employees and other parties for
services provided or the acquisition of exploration assets. Where applicable, the fair value of the equity is
measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding
increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value
of options is ascertained using the Black and Scholes option valuation pricing model which incorporates
all market vesting conditions. Where applicable, the number of shares and options expected to vest is
reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as
consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that
eventually vest.
Where the fair value of services rendered by other parties can be reliably determined, this is used to
measure the equity-settled payment.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST (or overseas VAT), except where
the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable. In these circumstances the GST (or overseas VAT) is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables
and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented
in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis except for the GST component of investing and financing
activities which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional and presentation currency of Tempest Minerals Ltd and its Australian subsidiaries is Australian
dollars ($A).
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing
at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange
rate.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date
of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the
date when fair values were measured. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items
are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment
hedge.
Group Companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the
economic entity’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
▪ assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
▪
▪
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period;
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive
income.
Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, accumulated depreciation and any
impairment losses.
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and
equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down
immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit
or loss. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed periodically by directors to ensure it is not in
excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of
the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal.
The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable
amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour,
borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group
and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to
the profit or loss during the financial year in which they are incurred.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Plant and Equipment (Continued)
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life
to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are
depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of
the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for plant and equipment is 33%. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are
reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These
gains and losses are included in the profit or loss.
Earnings/Loss Per Share (EPS)
Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss attributable to equity holders of the
Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year adjusted for any bonus elements in
ordinary shares issued during the year.
Diluted earnings/loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to
take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive
potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for
no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value on trade date, which includes transaction costs,
when the related contractual rights or obligation exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments
are measured as follows:
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are valued at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the
purpose of short term profit taking or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch
or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management
personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment
strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value bring
included in the profit or loss.
Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
For the year ended 30 June 2022, the Board has reviewed all new and revised standards and
interpretations issued by the AASB.
The Board has also reviewed all new Standard and Interpretations that have been issued but not yet
mandatory for the year ended 30 June 2022. As a result of these reviews, the Board has determined that
there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its
business and, therefore, no change necessary to accounting policies.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
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 Group.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Key Judgements:
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The Group performs regular reviews on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of
continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. These reviews are based on detailed
surveys and analysis of exploration and drilling results performed to reporting date. Exploration and
evaluation assets at 30 June 2022 were $4,140,550 (2021: $1,908,256).
Share based payments transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants by reference
to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options
is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of
performance rights is determined by the underlying share price at grant date. Share based payment
expense for the year ended 30 June 2022 is $196,305 (2021: $200,400). Refer to note 21 for details.

Exploration companies such as Tempest Minerals Ltd are funded almost exclusively by share capital.
Management controls the capital of the Group to ensure it can fund its operations and continue as a
going concern. Capital management policy is to fund its exploration activities principally by way of equity,
and where required, debt and/or project finance. No dividend will be paid while the Group is in
exploration stage. There are no externally imposed capital requirements.
There have been no other changes to the capital management policies during the year.

Classification of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
The Group classifies its equity based financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in
accordance with AASB 9. They are presented as current assets if they are expected to be sold
within 12 months after the end of the reporting period; otherwise they are presented as non-
current assets. Changes in the fair value of financial assets are recognised in the profit or loss as
applicable.
(ii)
Amounts recognised in profit or loss
Changes in the fair values of financial assets at fair value have been recorded through profit or
loss, representing an investment gain of $122,561 (2021: $314,331) and unrealised exchange loss
of ($8,178) (2021: unrealised exchange gain $2,324) for the year.
(iii)
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial
position are grouped into three (3) levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three (3) levels are defined
based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
The following table shows the levels within the hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

NOTE 15: OPERATING SEGMENTS
Segment Information
Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used
by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the
allocation of resources.
The Group is exploring only in Western Australia since the disposal of all its overseas exploration licences.
Operating segments are therefore determined on the basis of function.
Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are
considered to have similar economic characteristics and are similar with respect to any external regulatory
requirements. Management currently identifies the Group as having two reportable segments, being the
exploration of mineral projects in Australia and discontinued operations.
Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
(a) Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief decision maker
with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are
consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.
(b) Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives
majority economic value from that asset. In most instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the
basis of their nature and physical location.
(c) Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability
and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the
Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain
direct borrowings.
(d) Unallocated items
The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as
they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:
Impairment of assets and other non-recurring items of revenue or expense
Income tax expense
▪ Derivatives
▪ Net gains on disposal of available-for-sale investments
▪
▪
▪ Deferred tax assets and liabilities
▪ Current tax liabilities
▪ Other financial liabilities

NOTE 23: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Financial Risk Management Policies
The Group's financial instruments comprise cash balances, receivables and payables, loans to and from
subsidiaries and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The main purpose of these financial
instruments is to provide finance for Group operations.
Treasury Risk Management
Key executives of the Company meet on a regular basis to analyse exposure and to evaluate treasury
management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. The board
of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management
framework. Management is responsible for developing and monitoring the risk management policies and
reports to the board.
Financial Risks
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign
currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. These risks are managed through monitoring of forecast cash
flows, interest rates, economic conditions and ensuring adequate funds are available.
Interest Rate Risk
The Group's exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument's cash flows or fair
value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates, arises in relation to the Group's bank
balances. This risk is managed through the use of variable rate bank accounts.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able meet its financial obligations as they fall due. This risk
is managed by ensuring, to the extent possible, that there is sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due,
without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The Group's activities are funded from equity and where required and available debt and/or project
finance.
Credit Risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance
date to recognised financial assets, is their carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those
assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
Credit risk arises from exposures to deposits with financial institutions and sundry receivables.
Credit risk is managed and reviewed regularly by key executives. The key executives monitor credit risk by
actively assessing the rating quality and liquidity of counter parties:
▪ only banks and financial institutions with an ‘A’ rating are utilised; and
▪ all other entities are rated for credit worthiness taking into account their size, market position and
financial standing.
At 30 June 2022, there was no concentration of credit risk, other than bank balances.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the purchase of goods and services
in currencies other than the relevant entity's functional currency, as well as financial asset denominated
in a currency other than the functional currency of the Group.
Other than the investment held in Premier African Minerals Limited (Note 14), the foreign currency risk to
the Group is considered immaterial.

(i) Non-interest bearing. The contractual cash flows do not differ to the carrying amount.
(c) Net Fair Values
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are materially in line with carrying values. No financial
assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form, except for the
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, as disclosed in Note 15. The aggregate net fair values
and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the statement of financial
position and in the notes to and forming part of the financial report.
(d) Sensitivity Analysis
The Company has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk. At year end,
the effect on profit and equity as a result of a 1% change in the interest rate, with all other variables
remaining constant, is immaterial.
(e) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as equity prices and foreign exchange rates that
will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings in financial assets at FVTPL. The Company is
exposed to fluctuation in the share price of its financial assets as well as the foreign exchange rates being
denominated in a currency other than AUD.
A 10% change in the market price, with all other variables remaining constant, would result in a gain or
loss of $11,297 (2021: $7,715).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the members of Tempest Minerals Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Tempest Minerals Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled
entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June
2022, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated
statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended,
and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the
directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
(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 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 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. We have determined the matter described in the next page to be
a key audit matter to be communicated in our report.
Page 64
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Exploration and evaluation assets
Refer to Note 8
In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for
and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the
Group capitalises exploration and evaluation
expenditure and as at 30 June 2022, had an
exploration and evaluation asset balance of
$4,140,550.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure was
determined to be a key audit matter as it is
important to the users’ understanding of the
financial statements as a whole and was an
area which involved the most audit effort and
communication with those charged with
governance.
Our procedures included but were not limited to
the following:
- Obtaining an understanding of
the key
processes associated with management’s
review of the carrying value of exploration
and evaluation expenditure;
- Considering the Directors’ assessment of
potential indicators of impairment in addition
to making our own assessment;
- Obtaining evidence that the Group has
current rights to tenure of its areas of interest;
- Considering the nature and extent of planned
ongoing activities;
- Substantiating a sample of expenditure by
agreeing to supporting documentation; and
- Examining the disclosures made in the
financial report.
Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the
financial report and 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.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 65
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with 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:
−
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 Group’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 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.
− 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, 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.
