About Terramin
Terramin Australia Limited (the Company or Terramin) engages in the exploration, evaluation and development of base and precious
metal projects.
Terramin has a clear focus on growing a production pipeline of base and precious metal projects close to infrastructure and with low
capital and operating costs. Consistent with this focus, the Group holds a number of highly prospective mineral deposits and
exploration tenements across South Australia and Algeria.
Terramin’s major projects are:
Bird in Hand Gold Project (100% Terramin)
A high-grade mineral Resource of 265,000 gold ounces at 12.6 g/t gold with the ore body open at depth and exploration upside in
near proximity. A completed feasibility study indicates a Post-Tax Nominal NPV8 of $141m1 and IRR of 80.5%. The pre-production
capital is a modest $54 million due to utilisation of Terramin’s nearby Angas processing facility to produce a gold concentrate.
Government approval processes are well advanced.
Tala Hamza Zinc Project (65% Terramin, reducing to 49%)
A large mineral Resource of 53.0 million tonnes @ 5.3% zinc and 1.3% lead on which a definitive feasibility study was completed in
2018. Mining lease and associated environmental impact study have been lodged for approval. Extensive established infrastructure
in place with attractive low power and fuel costs. Strong government support has been provided for the project.
Regional Prospects - South Australia
Additional interests include a joint venture interest in the Kapunda Copper InSitu Recovery Project and exploration agreements with
Newmont and JOGMEC in relation to the Wild Horse and South Gawler Ranges Projects, respectively.
1. NPV8: NPV has been calculated using a discount rate of 8%. NPV and IRR are calculated from ramp up of start-up capital.

Chairman’s Review
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
It is my pleasure to present Terramin Australia Limited’s 2021 Annual Report.
Throughout 2021, Terramin has continued to work diligently in moving its major assets into development and production.
I am pleased to advise that these efforts have been recently rewarded with the approval of the world-class Tala Hamza Zinc Project
by our Algerian Government joint venture partners, which will clear the way for the issue of the mining permit. This significant
decision will facilitate the development of one of the largest undeveloped zinc and lead deposits in the world, containing 3.5 million
tonnes of zinc, of which Terramin will retain a 49% interest.
A 2018 Definitive Feasibility Study indicated that Tala Hamza will produce an average of 129,300 tpa of zinc concentrate and 36,000
tpa of lead concentrate over a 21-year mine life. Terramin has completed an optimisation study that increases the throughput of
the project which could further increase returns.
I would like to commend and acknowledge the hard work and support of our Algerian partners.
In respect of the Bird in Hand Gold Project, we are awaiting the decision by the South Australian Department for Energy and Mining
regarding our applications for a Mining Lease and Miscellaneous Purposes Licence. Terramin remains optimistic about the
development of this low-capital high-return mine.
Recently, Terramin announced the formation of a $10.5 million exploration agreement with the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National
Corporation (JOGMEC) relating to the South Gawler Ranges Project. A particular focus of this exploration arrangement will be the
search for large IOCG deposits.
We are also pleased to report the progress of our joint venture partner, Environmental Copper Recovery Pty Ltd, at the Kapunda
Copper InSitu Recovery Project as they continue to produce positive test results.
I wish to thank our shareholders for your ongoing support as we transition to what promises to be an exciting and
transformational year ahead.

Principal Activities
During the year, there were no significant changes in the nature
of the Group’s principal activities which continued to focus on
the development of and exploration for base and precious
metals (in particular zinc, lead and gold) and other economic
mineral deposits.
Operating Results
The consolidated loss of the Group after providing for income
tax was $6.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2021
(2020: $5.4 million). The major contributors to the result were
development costs, interest and administration expenditure in
relation to Australian and overseas operations.
The consolidated net asset position as at 31 December 2021
was $35.6 million, decreased from $41.9 million as at 31
December 2020. The decrease
is represented by the
consolidated Group loss of $6.3 million during the period.
Dividends Paid or Recommended
No dividends were paid or declared during the year and no
recommendation was made to pay a dividend.
Review of Operations
During the year, the Company continued to focus on the
exploration, evaluation and development of base and precious
metal projects in Australia and Algeria. Highlights for each of
the Company’s major projects are reported below.
North African Projects
Tala Hamza Zinc Project
(Terramin 65%, reducing to 49%)
et Minière (ORGM) (2.5%). WMZ was formed following a
resolution of the State Participation Council (CPE) to create
a
legal entity between ENOF and Terramin for the
development and mining of the Tala Hamza zinc-lead
deposit.
Following extensive discussions and review of the project
studies, the partners have agreed for the project to be
submitted to the Algerian mining regulator for approval. The
project submission was made in July 2020.
The lodgement of the application for approval has triggered
negotiations on the future structure and management of the
joint venture as the project transitions to construction and
production.
Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, these
negotiations have resulted in an agreement with the
partners to formally endorse the project, enabling the
project to proceed to final regulatory approval. Terramin’s
interest in the project will be reduced to 49%.
Australian Projects
Bird in Hand Gold Project (including Angas Zinc Mine and
Processing Facility)
(Terramin / Terramin Exploration Pty Ltd 100%)
The Bird in Hand Gold Project is located approximately
30km north of Terramin’s existing mining and processing
facilities at the Angas Zinc Mine in Strathalbyn. The project
has a high-grade Resource of 265,000 ounces of gold at
12.6g/t, which is amenable to underground mining.
Subject to required regulatory approvals, the Bird in Hand
material will be processed utilising the facilities at the Angas
Zinc Mine, which can be modified to process gold-bearing
material. The existing tailings dam has the capacity to hold
all the Bird in Hand tailings.
The Angas Zinc Mine and Processing Facility is located 2 km
outside the town of Strathalbyn, 60 km south east of
Adelaide. The mine is currently in care and maintenance
pending the resumption of exploration at depth and near
mine, in addition to evaluation of the development of the
Bird in Hand Gold Project. The site remains in compliance
with the lease conditions on all levels.
The Bird in Hand deposit has a global Mineral Resource
Estimate of 650 Kt (at a cut off of 1.0 g/t) including an
Indicated Resource of 432 Kt. Total material mined (at a
project evaluation cut-off grade of 1.0 grams per tonne) is
595 Kt at 11g/t (76% Indicated and 24% Inferred) with an
average mine production rate of 150 Ktpa and mine life of 4
years (5 years including pre-production and final backfilling).
The Tala Hamza Zinc Project is 100% owned by Western
Mediterranean Zinc Spa
(WMZ). Terramin has a 65%
shareholding in WMZ. The remaining 35% is held by two
Algerian Government owned companies: Enterprise National
des Produits Miniers Non-Ferreux et des Substances Utiles Spa
(ENOF) (32.5%) and Office National de Recherché Géologique
In June 2019, Terramin lodged the Mining Lease Application
(MLA) for the Bird in Hand Gold Project and a Miscellaneous
Purpose Lease (MPL) in respect of the processing of ore at
the Angas Zinc Mine site. The
lodgement of these
applications was followed by an extensive period of public
consultation that closed in late September 2019.
7
Directors’ Report (continued)
In 2021, Terramin has continued to make progress in respect of
its MLA and MPL applications. Terramin continues to respond
to queries and information requests by the South Australian
Department for Energy and Mines (DEM) in respect of these
applications.
In August 2021, DEM advised Terramin that it has completed its
assessment of the completeness and validity of the applications
and has moved into the final phase of its assessment and
approvals process.
Terramin continues to update the Program for Environment
Protection and Rehabilitation (PEPR) in line with the MLA and
MPL and has developed advanced project implementation
plans.
Terramin continues to engage with a number of parties with
strong interest, including offtake parties, streaming and royalty
companies, financial institutions and other mining companies,
and has received advanced proposals.
Adelaide Hills Project
(Terramin / Terramin Exploration Pty Ltd 100%)
The Adelaide Hills Project consists of eleven exploration
tenements that cover 3,214km² (nine of these exploration
tenements comprise
the Adelaide Hills Amalgamated
Expenditure Agreement, which cover 2,649km2) largely over
the southern Adelaide Fold Belt. This project area is considered
prospective for gold, copper, lead and zinc.
In June 2019, Terramin entered into an earn in agreement with
Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Pty Ltd (Freeport) in respect of
the Wild Horse Copper Gold prospect (Wild Horse) near Murray
Bridge. Freeport agreed to spend $3.0 million over a maximum
of 4 years to earn 51% and a further $20.0 million over a
maximum of 6 years to earn a further 24%. In June 2021,
Newmont Australia Pty Ltd (Newmont) acquired the earn-in
rights held by Freeport in respect of Wild Horse. Following the
entry of Newmont into the earn in, Terramin has completed a
new drill hole design which targets the distinct Wild Horse
magnetic anomaly. The magnetic anomaly is 1,300 metres by
2,000 metres and has been modelled from a depth of
approximately 100 metres to 1,400 metres. Approval for the
drilling of this anomaly has been obtained from DEM and the
relevant landowners. Subject to the availability of drill rigs,
drilling is expected in the coming months.
Kapunda Copper Joint Venture
(Terramin Exploration Pty Ltd 100%, subject to farm-out)
In August 2017, Terramin entered into an agreement with
Environmental Copper Recovery Pty Ltd (ECR) in respect of the
potential development of a low cost in situ recovery (ISR)
copper project near Kapunda, South Australia, approximately
90 km north of Adelaide. The joint venture is investigating the
potential to extract through ISR the copper from shallow oxide
ores in and around the historic Kapunda Mine workings.
During 2020, ECR earned a 50% interest in the project after
spending $2.0 million and has elected to earn a further 25%
by spending an additional $4.0 million. Subject to the
completion of this expenditure, Terramin will retain 25%
and receive a 1.5% royalty in respect of all metals extracted
by the joint venture.
Terramin and ECR have estimated a combined Resource of
47.4 million tonnes at 0.25% copper containing 119,000
tonnes of copper using a 0.05% copper cut off. This
Resource estimate is only in respect of that part of the
Kapunda mineralisation that is considered amendable to ISR
(copper oxides and secondary copper sulphides) and only
reports mineralisation that is within 100 metres of the
surface. ECR was successful in securing $2.6 million in
government funding to pursue the ISR test work.
In 2021, ECR received regulatory approval for in-ground test
work that includes a tracer test (to test connectivity
between wells) to be followed by a push-pull test using
biodegradable methane sulfonic acid to test in-ground
extraction of copper. These tests commenced late in 2021
and are ongoing. In addition, ECR has been developing a
scoping study for the project.
South Gawler Ranges Project
(Menninnie Metals Pty Ltd (MMPL) 100%)
The South Gawler Ranges Project is located in the Gawler
Craton of South Australia, an area that is becoming
increasingly recognised as an under-explored region with
high discovery potential. The project comprises a group of
eleven Exploration Licenses totaling 4,524km2. The project
area is prospective for a range of deposit styles that host
combinations of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc. The
project hosts the Menninnie Dam deposit, the largest
undeveloped lead-zinc deposit in South Australia.
In June 2021, Newmont acquired the earn-in rights held by
Freeport in respect of the South Gawler Ranges Project.
Subsequent to the acquisition, Newmont agreed with
Terramin to terminate the South Gawler Ranges earn-in
rights and Terramin appointed Discovery Capital Partners as
advisor in respect of these assets. Subsequent to the end of
the reporting period, Terramin announced the execution of
a $10.5 million exploration agreement with JOGMEC.
Corporate
The Company agreed with its major shareholder Asipac to
increase the Standby Term Facility from $23.34 million to
$25.89 million ($0.3 million was undrawn at the reporting
date).
Significant Changes in State of Affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of
the Group during the year, other than as referred to in this

award of such incentives subject to satisfaction of KPI’s. The
short-term incentive (STI) is an “at risk” bonus which may be
provided in the form of cash and/or equity securities. Long-
term incentives may be provided under the Terramin Australia
Employee Option Plan (EOP). The Directors may grant options
to employees to acquire shares at an exercise price set by the
Board. Each option converts into one ordinary share of the
Company when exercised. The grant of options is linked to the
achievement of the Company’s objectives (refer item (c) of the
remuneration report) and the creation of shareholder value.
Employment Contracts
III.
Mr Martin Janes, the Company’s Executive Officer, entered into
a consulting contract in January 2020 on an on-going basis,
which either the Company or Mr Janes may terminate with 30
days written notice. Under this contract, Mr Janes receives a
weekly
(including Superannuation
Guarantee Contributions) for 3.5 days of service per week.
retainer of $6,000
Mr André van Driel commenced his employment with the
Company on 9 August 2018, and appointed as Company
Secretary on 6 March 2020. His employment contract has
no fixed term, and receives an annual salary of $135,000
(including superannuation). Mr van Driel may terminate the
agreement by providing 4 weeks’ notice, however, the
Company may terminate the agreement by providing 5
weeks’ notice or a payment in lieu.

(g) Directors Remuneration
I. Remuneration
The maximum aggregate fees payable to Non-Executive
Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at a general
meeting. All securities issued to Directors and related
parties must be approved by shareholders at a general
meeting.
or
via
remunerated
Non-Executive Directors are either paid a base fee plus
superannuation,
contractual
arrangements approved by the Board and negotiated in
consultation with the Nominations and Remuneration
Committee. The current Non-Executive base fees (other
than fees for the Chairman and Deputy Chairman) are
$40,000 per annum. The Chairman and Deputy Chairman
receive $100,000 and $60,000 per annum respectively. The
non-executive directors’ fees paid are consistent with fees
paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies.
Company policy supports the issue, where appropriate, of
equity securities to Directors (whether Executive or Non-
Executive) to help ensure Directors’ interests are aligned
with those of shareholders. The Board has not paid
director’s fees in shares during the reporting period.
The aggregate fees payable to Directors during 2021 was
$275,000 (with $612,500 (2020: $337,500) remaining
unpaid at reporting date) compared to the maximum limit
approved by shareholders at the 2010 Annual General
Meeting of $700,000.
The Board recognises that from time-to-time, Non-
Executive Directors are called upon to provide services in
addition to their usual Director’s duties. Accordingly,
Directors may be compensated for additional duties
undertaken at the request of the Board, for instance
extensive travel to Algeria or meetings with overseas
investors. In accordance with Company policy additional
compensation of up to $1,000 per day may be provided to
Directors for work additional to standard Board duties. This
form of Non-Executive compensation is only provided in
circumstances where Directors are required to commit time
beyond that expected of a Non-Executive Director role and
requires a continuous commitment of 2 or more days.
Additional remuneration may be paid in shares in lieu of
cash subject to shareholder approval.
11
Directors’ Report (continued)
Committee
During 2021 no additional fees were paid to Non-Executive
Directors in relation to work outside of standard Board duties.
II. Director Options
There were no options or other equity securities issued to
Directors during the year as remuneration.
III. Retirement or other Post-Employment Benefits
The Company has no policy to provide benefits to its Directors
or Executives upon their retirement or otherwise upon
cessation of employment, other than by making the statutory
superannuation guarantee contributions as required by law.
IV. Board and Committees – Membership and Remuneration

Share Trading Policies
(l)
All Company employees and contractors, Directors and
Executives are subject to the Company’s Share Trading Policy
(available on the Company’s website) with respect to limiting
their exposure to risk in relation to the Company’s securities,
including securities
issued as an element of Executive
remuneration. The Company’s Share Trading Policy requires all
officers, employees and consultants to the Company to notify
the Chairman and Company Secretary of any intention to deal
in the Company’s securities, whether by sale or purchase of
shares on market, or the exercise of options. The notified
dealing is subject to the approval of the Chairman. In addition,
and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 12, the Company’s
trading policy provides that all Directors, officers and
consultants are prohibited from trading in the Company’s
securities during specific periods.
The Board considers that, in light of the size and structure of
the Company and the absence of a secondary market for the
Company’s securities,
this policy provides adequate
protection against unauthorised dealings by Directors and
specified Executives,
in relation to risk
in particular
mitigation. The current Share trading policy has been
approved by the board on 9 April 2015.
End of Audited Remuneration Report

Directors’ Report (continued)
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance has been subscribed to. The Officers of the Company and the Group covered by the
insurance policy includes any person acting in the course of duties for the Company or the Group who is or was a Director, Secretary
or Senior Executive. The contract of insurance prohibits the disclosure of the nature of the liability covered and the amount of the
premium. The Group has not otherwise, during or since the end of the period, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor
of the Group or any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor.
Non-audit Services
The Company may decide to employ the auditor, Grant Thornton on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the
auditor’s expertise and experience with the Company and/or the Group are important. Details of the amounts paid or payable to the
auditor for non‐audit services provided during the year are set out below.
The Board of directors has considered the position, and in accordance with advice received from the Audit and Risk Committee, is
satisfied that the provision of the non‐audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed
by the Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non‐audit services by the auditor, as set out below, did
not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
-
-
all non‐audit services have been reviewed by the Audit & Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact the impartiality and
objectivity of the auditor;
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants.
During the year the following fees were paid or payable for non‐audit services provided by the auditor of the parent entity, its related
practices and non‐related audit firms:
Non-assurance services

Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements
1. Reporting entity
The consolidated financial statements cover the consolidated
entity of Terramin Australia Limited and its controlled entities
(the Group). Terramin Australia Limited is a public company,
listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The Group is
primarily involved in the development of, and exploration for,
precious and base metals (in particular gold, zinc and lead) and
other economic mineral deposits.
2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose
financial statements that have been prepared in accordance
with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian
the Australian
Accounting
Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act
2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) and
International Accounting
interpretations adopted by the
Standards Board (IASB).
Interpretations)
issued by
Terramin Australia Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose
of preparing the financial statements.
Terramin Australia Limited is a public company incorporated
and domiciled in Australia. The address of its registered office
is 2115 Callington Road, Strathalbyn, SA, 5255.
(b) Basis of Measurement
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars
(AUD), have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based
on historical costs, except for the provision
for mine
rehabilitation measured at the present value of future cash
flows. The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations
(Rounding
Instrument
2016/191 and in accordance with the Instrument, amounts in
the financial report have been rounded off to the nearest
thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.
Financial/Directors’ Reports)
in
(c) Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal
business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement
of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. During 2021, the
Group incurred a loss of $6.2 million, and this brought
accumulated losses to $192.4 million. As at 31 December 2021
the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by
$29.3 million, however the Group had negative cash operating
and investing cashflows of $1.97 million. The Group had net
assets of $35.7 million.
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis
on the expectation that the Group can raise additional debt or
equity as required. The Directors are aware that additional debt
or equity will be required within 12 months, in order to
continue as a going concern. The Group’s ability to raise equity
will rely on investor confidence in the development or sale of
the Bird in Hand Gold Project or investment in the Tala Hamza
Zinc Project or other assets.
The Directors note that the matters outlined above indicate a
material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt on the
ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and
therefore it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of business. At the date of this
report, the Directors believe that the Group has adequate
resources to continue to explore, evaluate and develop the
Group’s areas of interest and support to date from Asipac will
ensure the Company has sufficient funds to meet
its
obligations. Subject to market conditions the Directors believe
there are reasonable grounds to conclude that the Company
will be able to raise funds by way of debt and/or equity to fund
anticipated activities and meet financial obligations. For the
reasons outlined above, the Board has prepared the Financial
Report on a going concern basis.
(d) Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with
AASB requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income
and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Revisions
to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in
any future periods affected.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation
uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting
policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the financial statements are described in the
following notes:

(e) New and Amended Standards Adopted by the
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Group
During the year, there are no new and/or revised Standards and
Interpretations adopted in these Financial Statements that
affect presentation or disclosure and the financial position.
3. Significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of Consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent
Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2021. The
Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to
variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and
has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 31
December. All transactions and balances between Group
including
companies are eliminated on consolidation,
unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group
companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales
are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also
tested for impairment from a Group perspective. Amounts
reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been
adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the
accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries
acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the
effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of
disposal, as applicable. Non-controlling interests, presented as
part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or
loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group
attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries
between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling
interests based on their respective ownership interests.
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held
liquid
at call with banks and other short-term highly
investments with original maturities of four months or less.

represent
spare
parts
(d) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised at cost and carried
at original invoice amount less allowances for
impairment
losses.
The group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring
expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss
allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected
credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been
grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the
days past due. In prior year, impairment of receivables was not
recognised until objective evidence was available that a loss
event had occurred.
Property
Freehold land is measured at cost and buildings are measured
at cost less depreciation and any impairment losses recognised.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less
depreciation and any impairment losses recognised.
The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment,
excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis
over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time
the asset is held ready for use down to any residual value, as
determined by the Group.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset
is the lesser of the rate determined by the life of the mining
operation and the asset. The assets’ residual values and useful
lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
reporting date.

(f)
Impairment of Assets
Non-financial Assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values
of its non-financial 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 is
determined and compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any
excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount
is recognised as an expense in the profit or loss.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of
an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset
belongs. A CGU is the smallest identifiable asset group that
generates cash flows that largely are independent from other
assets and groups. Impairment losses recognised in respect of
CGU’s are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying
amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro
rata basis. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment
loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the
extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of.

share of the output arising from the joint operation, its share of
revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation and
its expenses (including its share of expenses incurred jointly).
Financial Assets
The Group’s financial assets are subject to AASB 9’s three-stage
expected credit loss model. Each class of financial asset is
considered for impairment based on their credit risk profile (as
disclosed in note 22(2).
Recoverable Amount
In assessing whether the carrying amount of an asset is
impaired, the asset’s carrying value is compared with its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of non- financial
assets or cash-generating units (CGU) is the greater of their fair
value or realisable value less costs to sell and value in use. In
assessing fair value, or value in use, estimates and assumptions
including the appropriate rate at which to discount cash flows,
the timing of the cash flows, expected life of the relevant area
of interest, exchange rates, commodity prices, ore reserves,
future capital requirements and future operating performance
are used. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU will be
impacted by changes in these estimates and assumptions which
could result in an adjustment to the carrying amount of that
asset or CGU.
(g) Ore Reserves
Economically recoverable ore reserves represent the estimated
quantity of product in an area of interest that can be expected
to be profitably extracted, processed and sold under current
and foreseeable economic conditions. The determination of ore
reserves includes estimates and assumptions about a range of
geological, technical and economic factors, including quantities,
grades, production techniques, recovery rates, production
costs, transport costs, commodity demand, commodity prices
and exchange rates. Changes in a project’s ore reserve impacts
the assessment of recoverability of exploration and evaluation
assets, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, the
carrying amounts of assets depreciated on a units of production
basis, provisions for site restoration and the recognition of
deferred tax assets, including tax losses.
(h) Investments in Associates and Joint Arrangements
Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to
exert significant influence but which are not subsidiaries.
A joint venture is an arrangement that the Group controls
jointly with one or more other investors, and over which the
Group has rights to a share of the arrangement’s net assets
rather than direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for
underlying liabilities. A joint arrangement in which the Group
has direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for
underlying liabilities is classified as a joint operation.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for
using the equity method. Interests in joint operations are
accounted for by recognising the Group’s assets (including its
share of any assets held jointly), its liabilities (including its share
of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue from the sale of its
Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the
Group’s share in the associate or joint venture is not recognised
separately and is included in the amount recognised as
investment.
The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint
ventures is increased or decreased to recognise t h e Group’s
share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of
the associate and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to
ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Group.
Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group
and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the
extent of the Group’s interest in those entities. Where
unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also
tested for impairment.
(i) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of
acquiring licenses, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation
assets (E&E assets) on an area of interest basis pending
determination of the technical feasibility and commercial
viability of the project. When a license expires and is not
expected to be renewed, is relinquished or a project is
abandoned, the related costs are recognised in the profit or loss
immediately. With respect to the Tala Hamza Zinc Project, all
exploration and evaluation costs incurred from February 2018
(at which time the exploration license was not renewed) have
been expensed.
Tangible and intangible E&E assets that are available for use are
depreciated (amortised) over their estimated useful lives. Upon
commencement of production, 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 reserves.
E&E assets are assessed for impairment if (1) sufficient data
exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial
viability, and (2) facts and circumstances suggest that the
carrying amount exceeds the
recoverable amount (see
impairment note 3(f)). E&E assets are assessed for impairment
when any of the following facts and circumstances exist:
• The term of the exploration license in the specific area of
interest has expired during the reporting period or will
expire in the near future, and not expected to be renewed;
• Substantive expenditure on further exploration for and
evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area are not
budgeted nor planned;
• Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the
specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially
viable quantities of mineral resources and the decision was
made to discontinue such activities in the specified area; or
indicate that, although a
development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the
carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is

currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future
cash outflows.
E&E assets are transferred to development assets once the
technical feasibility and commercial viability of an area of
interest can be demonstrated. E&E assets are assessed for
impairment, and any impairment loss is recognised prior to
being reclassified.
Pre-licence expenditure and expenditure deemed to be
unsuccessful is recognised in the profit or loss immediately.
(j) Trade and Other Payables
Trade payables and other payables are stated at cost.
(k) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or
constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and
that outflow can be reliably measured.
is recognised
Site restoration liability

for
The provision is based upon current cost estimates and has
been determined on a discounted basis with reference to
current legal requirements and technology.
As the provision represents the discounted value of the present
obligation, using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments and the risks specific to the liability, the increase
in value of the provision due to the passage of time will be
recognised as a borrowing cost in the profit or loss in future
periods. The provision is recognised as a non-current liability (in
line with expected timescales for the work to be performed),
with a corresponding asset taken to account and amortised over
the life of the mine. At each reporting date the rehabilitation
liability is reviewed and re-measured in line with changes in
discount rates, timing & the amounts of the costs to be incurred
based on area of disturbance at reporting date. Changes in the
liability relating to the re-assessment of rehabilitation estimates
are recognised directly within the profit or loss.
(l) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits
arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date.
Employee benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within
one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be
paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs.
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision
for employee benefits and measured as the present value of
expected future payments to be made in respect of services
provided up to the reporting d a t e . Consideration is given to
levels, experience of employee
future wage and salary
departures and periods of service. Expected future payments
are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on

Share Based Payments
incentives to
The Group uses share options to provide
Directors, employees and consultants. The Board, upon the
recommendation of the Nominations and Remuneration
Committee, has discretion to determine the number of options
to be offered to Eligible Employees (as that term is defined by
the EOP) and the terms upon which they are offered, including
exercise price and vesting conditions. The fair value of options
at grant date is independently determined using an option
pricing model that considers the exercise price, the term of the
option, the vesting and performance criteria, the share price at
grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share,
the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for
the term of the option. Historical volatility has been the basis
for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed
that this is indicative of future trends, which may not
eventuate. The life of the options is based on the historical
exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.
The fair value of options granted is recognised as an expense
with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is
measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the
period during which the Directors, employees or consultants
become unconditionally entitled to the options (vesting
period). Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share
based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred
to share capital.
The Group uses share rights to provide
incentives to
employees. Share rights are valued at grant date and are
expensed to reflect amounts owing. Upon issue of the share
rights an increase in equity is recognised.
(m) Loans and Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and
borrowings are stated at amortised cost, with any difference
between cost and redemption value being recognised in the
profit or loss over the period of the borrowings on an effective
interest basis. Loans and borrowings with a determinable
payment due less than twelve months from reporting date are
classified as current liabilities.
(n) Revenue
To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows
a 5-step process:
1. Identifying the contract with a customer,
2. Identifying the performance obligations,
3. Determining the transaction price,
4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance
obligations, and
5. Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s)
are satisfied.
Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time,
when (or as) the Group satisfies performance obligations by
transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.
28
The Group recognises contract liabilities for consideration
received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and
reports these amounts as other liabilities in the statement of
financial position. Similarly, if the Group satisfies a performance
obligation before it receives the consideration, the Group
recognises either a contract asset or a receivable in its
statement of financial position, depending on whether
something other than the passage of time is required before
the consideration is due.
include
(o) Financing Costs
Financing costs
interest payable on borrowings
calculated using the effective interest method, amortisation of
ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of
borrowings, finance lease charges, and the impact of the
unwind of discount on long-term provisions for site restoration.
Financing costs incurred in relation to the construction of any
qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is
required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use
or sale. Other financing costs are expensed as incurred.
(p) Foreign Currency Translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the
group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the
functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements
are presented in Australian Dollars (AUD), which is Terramin’s
functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from
the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of
monetary assets and
in foreign
currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised
in profit or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate
to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or loss,
within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses
are presented in the statement of profit or loss on a net basis
within other gains / (losses).
liabilities denominated
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on
assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of
the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences
on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at
fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss
as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences
on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as at fair
value through other comprehensive income are recognised in
other comprehensive income.
Group companies
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of
which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that
have a functional currency different from the presentation
currency are translated into the presentation currency as
follows:
•
• assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position
presented are translated at the closing rate at the reporting
date,
income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss
and statement of comprehensive income are translated at
average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates
prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income
and expenses are translated at the dates of the
transactions), and
• all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other
comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the
translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of
borrowings and other financial instruments designated as
hedges of such
in other
comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any
borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the
associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or
loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
investments, are recognised
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition
of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the
foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
(q) Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Qualifying transaction
costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction
from equity, net of any related income tax benefit.
Income Tax
(r)
The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the
profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or
disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been
enacted or are substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in
respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
in the
consolidated financial statements. No deferred income tax will
be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability,
excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on
accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to
apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability settled.
Deferred tax is credited in the profit or loss except where it
relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which
case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it
is probable that future tax profits will be available against which
deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Determination of future tax profits requires estimates and
assumptions as to future events and circumstances,
in
particular, whether successful development and commercial
exploitation, or alternatively sale, of the respective areas of
includes estimates and
interest will be achieved. This
29
judgements about commodity prices, ore reserves (note 3(g)),
exchange rates, future capital requirements, future operational
performance and the timing of estimated cash flows.
Changes in these estimates and assumptions could impact on
the amount and probability of estimated taxable profits and
accordingly the recoverability of deferred tax assets.
The Company and its Australian subsidiaries are part of an
income tax consolidated group under the Australian Tax Laws.
(s) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the
amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not
recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these
circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
Receivables and payables in the 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.
(t) Earnings Per Share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS)
data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing
the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the
Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by
adjusting profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders
and weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which
comprises convertible notes and share options granted to
employees, Directors, consultants and other third parties.
(u) Segments
The consolidated entity has identified its operating segments to
be its Australian interests and its Northern African interests,
based on the different geographical regions and the similarity
of assets within those regions. This is the basis on which internal
reports are provided
for assessing
performance and determining the allocation of resources within
the consolidated entity.
to management
A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or
services within a particular economic environment and
is
subject to risks and returns that are different from those
segments operating in other economic environments.
Segment information is presented only in respect of the Group’s
geographical segments, being Australia and Northern Africa,
which is the basis of the Group’s internal reporting.
(v) Financial Risk Management
The Group’s activities expose it to the following risks from the
use of financial instruments:
Credit Risk
The risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations. This arises principally from short term
cash investments.
Liquidity Risk
The risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial
obligations as they fall due. The Group manages this exposure
by targeting to have sufficient cash financing facilities available
on demand to meet planned expenditure for a minimum period
of 45 days (refer note 13 for detail on available financing
facilities).
Market Risk
The risk that changes in foreign exchange rates and interest
rates will affect the Group’s income or value of its holdings of
financial instruments. The Group may enter into commodity
derivatives, foreign exchange derivatives and may also incur
financial liabilities (debt), in order to manage market risks. All
such transactions are carried out within Board approved limits.
The Group’s financial risks are managed primarily by the Chief
Executive Officer, including external consultation advice as
required, as a part of the day-to-day management of the
Group’s affairs. Finance and risk reporting is a standard item in
the report presented at each Board meeting.
Capital Management
The Board seeks to maintain a strong capital base sufficient to
maintain the future development of the Group’s business. The
Board closely monitors the Group’s level of capital so as to
ensure it is appropriate for the Group’s planned level of
activities. There were no changes to the Group’s approach to
capital management during the year.
(w) Government Grants
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and
recognised in profit and loss over the period necessary to match
them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
(x) Research and Development Tax Incentive
To the extent that research and development costs are eligible
activities, under the “Research and Development Tax Incentive”
programme, a refundable tax offset is available for companies
with annual turnover of less than $20 million. The Group
recognises, where it is possible to reliably estimate, refundable
tax offsets in the financial year as an income tax benefit in profit
or loss, resulting from the monetisation of available tax losses
that otherwise would have been carried forward.
(y) Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date
of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which
comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for,
as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the
commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any
initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the
cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be
incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset,
and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over
the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of
the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated
entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the
end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated
30
useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
Other expenses
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-
use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases
with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets.
Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss
as incurred.
(z) Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a
lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present
value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the
lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or,
if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated
entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise
of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable
lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise
price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is
reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination
penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on
an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are
incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the
interest method. The carrying amounts are
effective
remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease
payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used;
residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option
and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured,
an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset,
or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use
asset is fully written down.

1. The Company has entered into an agreement with respect to the Kapunda
Project, over which the Company has a current Exploration Licence.
In
December 2019, the Company entered into an agreement for Environment
Copper Recovery Pty Ltd (ECR) to earn, in two stages, up to 75% of the rights
over metals which may be recovered via in-situ recovery (ISR) contained in
the Kapunda deposit, after entering into a binding term sheet in August
2017 (ASX Announcement issued 2 August 2017: New Copper Joint Venture
Development). In 2020, ECR completed $2.0 million expenditure to earn
50% interest and elected to spend a further $4.0 million to earn an
additional 25%. During the period, ECR received government approval and
appropriate land access enabling it to commence on-site testing of the ISR.
The expenditure by ECR on the project is not reflected in the accounts of the
Company, however will contribute to the minimum expenditure obligations
under the terms of the Exploration License.
3.
2. The Company entered
into an earn-in arrangement with Freeport
Exploration Australia Pty Ltd (Freeport) in 2019 in respect of the Wild Horse
project. Newmont Australia Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont
Mining Corporation, (Newmont) completed the acquisition of Freeport’s
Australian operations during the year, including the Wild Horse project.
In 2019, the Company entered into an earn-in arrangement with Freeport in
respect of the South Gawler Ranges Project. During the year, Newmont
completed the acquisition of Freeport’s Australian operations, including the
South Gawler Ranges Project earn-in arrangement, and subsequently
withdrew from the project. The Company engaged Discovery Capital
Partners to manage the process of divesting the Company’s interest in the
South Gawler Ranges Project. Subsequent to the reporting date the Company
executed a A$10.5 million exploration agreement with JOGMEC.

1. The landholder compensation provision is recognised for the value of
compensation awarded to a landholder as a result of an Algerian court
decision on 19 January 2022.
2. The mine rehabilitation provision is recognised for the estimated cost of
rehabilitation, decommissioning, restoration and long-term monitoring of
areas disturbed during operation of the Angas Zinc Mine up to reporting date
but not yet rehabilitated.
33
The mine rehabilitation provision is based on current cost
estimates and has been determined on a discounted basis with
reference to current legal requirements and technology. The
provision has been calculated using a 1.35% risk-free discount
rate (2020: 0.37%).
The share based payment reserve is used to recognise the value
of equity-settled share-based payment transactions, including
employees and KMP, as part of their remuneration. During the
2021 reporting period no options or share rights were granted
to employees, including KMP’s (2020: NIL).
The rehabilitation is expected to occur following the processing
of ore from the Bird in Hand Gold Project (subject to regulatory
approvals).

Movement in non-controlling interest in 2021 relates to the
35% minority interest (ENOF 32.5% and ORGM 2.5%) in
exploration and evaluation costs for the Tala Hamza Zinc
Project funded directly by the Group through
its 65%
shareholding
in WMZ. During 2021, the Group funded
approximately $0.3 million (2020: $0.3 million) of exploration
and evaluation costs in WMZ, of which ENOF and ORGM are
entitled to $0.1 million (2020: $0.1 million) being (35%). The
remainder of the movement is in relation to foreign exchange
changes. A total of 35% of all assets contributed to WMZ by the
Group effectively accrue to ENOF and ORGM for nil
consideration (other than forming part of the Group’s 65%
earn-in) and has therefore been included in movement in net
assets attributable to the non-controlling interest. Refer to note
23 for further disclosures with respect to material non-
controlling interests.

The Company is part of an Australian Tax Consolidated Group.
The Australian Tax Consolidated Group has potential deferred
tax assets of $55.0 million (2020: $53.0 million). These have not
been brought to account because the Directors do not consider
the realisation of the deferred tax asset as probable.
34
The benefit of these tax losses will be obtained if:
a. the Australian Tax Consolidated Group derives
future
assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient
to enable the benefits to be realised;
b. the Australian Tax Consolidated Group can comply with the
conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and
c. no changes in the income tax legislation adversely affect the
Australian Tax Consolidated Group in realising the benefit
from the deduction of the loss.
In order to utilise the benefit of the tax losses, an assessment
will need to be undertaken with regards to the continuity of
ownership or same business tests.

term has been further extended until 30 April 2022. Based on a
prior period agreement and continues under the terms of the
current agreement, Asipac waived refinancing and marketing
fees, along with the right to negotiate an offtake agreement for
Bird in Hand Gold Project, in return for a 3% NSR royalty on gold
production from Bird in Hand Gold Project. In the event that
Bird in Hand Gold Project production is less than 500koz the
royalty shall extend to Terramin’s wholly owned South
Australian gold tenements until a total of 500koz is reached.
21. Financial Instruments
The Group is exposed to market risk in the form of commodity
price risk, foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk.
The carrying value of the financial assets and liabilities of the
Group, together with the equity and profit or loss impact during
the period (if any), that are affected by market risk are
categorised as follows:

Fair value
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities of the Group
are equal to the carrying amount in the accounts (as detailed
previously). In the case of loans and borrowings it is considered
that the variable rate debt and associated credit margin is in line
with current market rates and therefore is carried in the
accounts at fair value.

22. Financial Risk Management
The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and
trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial
instruments is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group
has various financial assets such as accounts receivable and
cash and short-term deposits, which arise directly from
operations.
The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in
accordance with the Group’s risk management policy. The
objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group’s
financial targets while protecting future financial security. The
main risks that could adversely affect the Group’s financial
assets, liabilities or future cash flows are market risks,
comprising commodity price risk, currency risk, interest rate
risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group’s senior management oversees the management of
financial risks. The Group’s senior management is supported by
the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee that advises on
financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance
framework for the Group. The Audit, Risk and Compliance
Committee provides assurance
the Group’s senior
management that the Group’s financial risk-taking activities are
governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that
financial risks are identified, measured and managed in
accordance with Group policies and the Group’s risk appetite.
to
All derivative activities for risk management purposes are
carried out by management that have the appropriate skills,
experience and supervision. It is the Group’s policy that no
trading
in derivatives for speculative purposes shall be
undertaken. At this stage, the Group does not currently apply
any form of hedge accounting.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing
each of these risks which are summarised below.
1. Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of
a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk:
commodity price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk.
Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and
borrowings, deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
accrued liabilities and derivative financial instruments. The
Company currently has no commodity price risk.
(a) Currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on purchases and
cash at bank which are denominated in a currency other than
AUD. The currencies giving rise to this are primarily USD, Euros
(EUR) and Algerian Dinar (DZD). The Group does not enter into
derivative financial instruments to hedge such transactions
denominated in a foreign currency. No amount was recognised
in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income during the current year (2020: $nil).
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at reporting date
was as follows:

Sensitivity Analysis
Sensitivity to fluctuations in foreign currency rates is based on
outstanding monetary items at 31 December 2021 which are
denominated in a foreign currency.
Holdings exposed to currency risk at the end of the period are
minimal.
(b) Interest rate risk
The Group has an exposure to future interest rates on
investments
in variable-rate securities and variable-rate
borrowings.
The Group does not use derivatives to mitigate these
exposures.
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and effective
weighted average interest rates are as follows:

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource
allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and measured
consistently with operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. There are no transactions other than cash funding
between reportable segments.
25. Share Based Entitlements and Payments
The Group uses share options and share rights to provide incentives to Directors, employees and consultants. The Board, upon the
recommendation of senior management, has discretion to determine the number of options to be offered to Eligible Employees (as
that term is defined by the EOP) and the terms upon which they are offered, including exercise price and vesting conditions.
During the calendar year 2018, 10,000,000 options were granted to the Group’s former CEO, Mr Richard Taylor. Details of the options
granted to the CEO are summarised in the notes that follow. No options were granted to KMP’s during the calendar year 2021.
Mr Richard Taylor stepped down as CEO of the Company during 2020 prior to tranches 3 and 4 (representing 5,000,000 options) of
Mr Taylor’s 10,000,000 options vesting, and therefore forfeited. The options outstanding at 31 December 2021 have a weighted
average contractual life of 3.0 years (2020: 3.0 years). A balance of 5,000,000 options were outstanding for the Group at 31 December
2021.

(a) Basic earnings per share
The calculation of basic earnings per share at 31 December
2021 was based on the net loss attributable to owners of the
Company of $6.2m (2020: $5.3m) and a weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year ended
31 December 2021 of 2,116,562,720 (2020: 2,116,562,720),
calculated as follows:

28. Commitments and Contingencies
There are contractual commitments at the reporting date as
follows:
(a) Minimum expenditure on exploration tenements
of which the Group has title
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration
tenements, the Company is required to perform minimum
exploration work to meet minimum expenditure requirements.
These obligations are subject to renegotiation and may be
farmed out or relinquished. These obligations are not provided
for in the parent entity financial statements.
Adelaide Hills fold belt tenements had an amalgamated
minimum expenditure of $2.32 million (representing a portion
of the total minimum expenditure) over 1 year expiring on 30
June 2021, which was reduced to $0.58 million, on a pro-rata
basis ($2.32 million x 25%), following the 12 month Covid-19
Exploration Expenditure Waiver announced by the Minister for
Energy and Mining on 2 April 2020. The Amalgamated
Expenditure Agreement is currently under review, with an
application
in place to reduce the 2 year expenditure
commitment to $0.97 million. This revised amount will bring
the agreement in line with the requirements of the updated
South Australian Mining Act. The Wild Horse and Ulooloo
tenements are excluded from the Adelaide Hills fold belt
amalgamated minimum expenditure arrangement.
A renewal application for the Wild Horse tenement is currently
being assessed by the South Australian Department for Energy
and Mining and, pending approval, the minimum expenditure
will be $75,000 over 1 year, and is currently subject to an
application for renewal.
The minimum expenditure for the Ulooloo tenement is $40,000
over 1 year expiring on 18 December 2021, and currently
subject to an application for renewal.
South Gawler Ranges Project tenements had an amalgamated
minimum expenditure of $1.5 million (represents a portion of
the total minimum expenditure) over 2 years expiring on 3 July
2021, which was reduced to $0.75 million, on a pro-rata basis
($1.5 million x 50%), following the 12 month Covid-19
Exploration Expenditure Waiver announced by the Minister for
Energy and Mining on 2 April 2020. The Amalgamated
Expenditure Agreement is currently under review.
The minimum expenditure on a tenement is subject to change
at the end of a five year term from when the tenement was
granted.
(b) Lease commitments
Basic earnings per share (cents)
(0.29)
(0.25)
All finance leases were fully repaid during 2020.
(b) Diluted earnings per share
The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not include
potential ordinary shares on issue as to do so would have the
effect of reducing the amount of the loss per share. Therefore,
the diluted earnings per share equates to the ordinary earnings
per share.
(c) Other commitments and contingencies
Tala Hamza Zinc Project
In February 2006, the Group signed a joint venture agreement
in respect of the Tala Hamza Zinc Project with ENOF, an Algerian
Government company involved in exploration and mining
activities. The Company agreed to manage and finance the joint
venture until a decision to mine is made.
40
Bird in Hand acquisition
Terramin Exploration Pty Ltd agreed to purchase the Bird in
Hand Gold Project from Maximus Resources Limited. Pursuant
to a tenement sale and purchase agreement two further
payments of $1 million each may become payable following
approval of the Programme for Environmental Protection and
Rehabilitation in respect of the Bird in Hand deposit and
following the first shipment of mined gold respectively. A net
smelter royalty will also become payable following the first
shipment of mined gold.
Consultancy fee
Under the Technical Cooperation Agreement entered into with
NFC up to an additional 8 million ordinary shares will be issued
upon the Board of WMZ taking a decision to mine.
Finder’s fee
A second tranche of a finder’s fee is payable to a non-related
party and
linked to the commencement of commercial
production from the first producing mine established on the
Oued Amizour tenement covered by the Algerian joint venture
agreement with ENOF. The amount payable will be US$62,500
which will be converted into the Australian Dollar equivalent at
the time of the contingent payment in the future, as well as
100,000 unlisted options exercisable at 25 cents each within 3
years of date of issue.
Asipac royalty
On 28 October 2019, the Company and its subsidiary Terramin
Exploration Pty Ltd entered into an agreement with major
shareholder Asipac Group Pty Ltd to restructure its Facility
Agreements. Under this agreement refinancing and marketing
fees are waived, along with the waiver of the right to negotiate
an offtake agreement for Bird in Hand Gold Project, in return
for a 3% NSR royalty on gold production from Bird in Hand Gold
Project. In the event that Bird in Hand Gold Project production
is less than 500koz the royalty shall extend to Terramin’s wholly
owned South Australian gold tenements until a total of 500koz
is reached.
South Gawler Ranges Project divestment

Reserves and Resources
Terramin’s Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates as at 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2021 are listed below. The Mineral
Resource estimates are reported inclusive of Ore Reserve estimates. The totals and average of some reports may appear inconsistent
with the parts, but this is due to rounding of values to levels of reporting precision commensurate with the confidence in the
respective estimates.
The complete JORC Code reports, including JORC Code Table 1 checklists, which detail the material assumptions and technical
parameters for each estimate, can be found at https://www.terramin.com.au/ under the menu ‘ASX Announcements'. The JORC
Code Competent Person statements for the 31 December 2021 estimates are included on pages 9 and 44 of this Annual Report.
Terramin’s public reporting governance for mineral resources and ore reserves includes a chain of assurance measures. Firstly,
Terramin ensures that the Competent Persons responsible for public reporting:
•
•
•
•
are current members of a professional organisation that is recognised in the JORC Code framework;
have sufficient mining industry experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and reporting activity, to be considered
a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code;
have provided Terramin with a written sign-off on the results and estimates that are reported, stating that the report agrees
with supporting documentation regarding the results or estimates prepared by each Competent Person; and
have prepared supporting documentation for results and estimates to a level consistent with normal industry practices – which
for JORC Code 2012 resources includes Table 1 Checklists for any results and/or estimates reported.
The following tables set out the current Resource and Reserve position for the Company.
