CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Dear Shareholder
The 2019/20 Financial Year has been one of change.
It started as the ending of an era with most members of the original Board resigning and Richard Willson and I being
appointed. The one remaining constant has been our CEO, Eoin Rothery, who has continued on patiently and loyally as
the new Board came to grips with the Company and where to take it. Eoin’s ongoing work has been very much appreciated
by Richard and myself.
The start of the year also saw the ending of the Bygoo tin project farm-in with BeiSur OstBarat Agency Ltd and the project
was put on hold whilst the new Board looked to determine the direction of the Company. The Board considers the Bygoo
tin project to still be a valuable asset of the Company and will be looking to develop it further during the 2020/21 financial
year.
For most of the financial year the Company had minimal funds and the Board’s primary focus was on how the Company
could once again be adequately funded. We could see the growing appetite for gold projects, even before the COVID-19
impacts in 2020, but the Harry Smith gold project, whilst an excellent project in itself, the Board felt it was not enough to
enable the Company to raise adequate funds. So, when the Yalgogrin gold project opportunity came up, the Company
jumped at it and brought it into the portfolio in 2019. As it turns out there was an added benefit to that project in that it is
also in the Lachlan Fold Belt, like the Harry Smith gold project.
As we moved into the 2020 calendar year and particularly with the impact of COVID-19, the markets appetite for gold and
the Lachlan Fold Belt increased dramatically and so we were able to move to a capital raising towards the end of the
financial year which, with it being fully underwritten, gave us the certainty of funding and hence an ability to commit to
drilling programs at Harry Smith and Yalgogrin in July 2020. Unfortunately the weather conspired against us and curtailed
the drilling program, but even then we were able to get some outstanding results from the maiden drilling program at
Yalgogrin with results like 2m at 7.5 g/t Au in hole TGRC08 and 5m at 10.3 g/t in hole TGRC06.
Given the impacts of weather in the NSW winter and the appetite for gold, we revisited the Chillagoe gold project in Far
North Queensland, which the Company had previously looked at, and were able to secure that after the end of the Financial
Year.
We continue to look at further projects to bring in so as to strengthen our portfolio and whilst we are principally focused on
gold, we are starting to look at other precious metals projects to provide a blend of minerals and scale, coupled with a
portfolio that enables us to undertake exploration activities on the ground all year round.
We are looking at commencing a comprehensive drilling program later this calendar year which will provide an ongoing
news flow from our different projects.
I would at this juncture like to thank the ongoing support we have been receiving from our new capital advisers, Pulse
Markets and Fern Street Partners, who have been providing great support for us with the market and our capital raising
efforts.
Finally, I would like to thank my fellow Directors, Eoin Rothery and Richard Willson, who with me have remained and
worked through the tough times and helped to get the Company to a much rosier place in 2020.
We are all looking forward to the 2020/21 Financial Year which will be a much more active and positive one and we look
forward to providing some reward for our loyal and patient shareholders.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Project Activities
Gold
While data review revealed further potential at Thomson Resources’ Harry Smith gold project the major focus of the year was
in seeking investment to further and extend Thomson’s gold projects. In June 2020, the Company successfully commenced
a capital raising by way of a fully underwritten non-renounceable rights issue. Drilling commenced at Yalgogrin (see below)
in mid-July 2020.
During the year Thomson Resources entered into an agreement to acquire a new gold exploration project in the Lachlan Fold
Belt in central NSW, 50km north of the Harry Smith gold project (Figures 1, 2). The 90 square km project, EL8684, “Yalgogrin
gold project”, covers the northwest part of the mineralised Yalgogrin Granite, with 11km of historic gold workings. Extensive
rock chipping has occurred in the EL8684 area with 471 rock chip samples reported. Of these a quarter assayed over 1 g/t
Au, with more than 50 samples above 4 g/t Au, ranging up to 128 g/t Au or 4 ounces of gold per ton. Very little follow up drilling
has occurred in the area of EL8684, with only 71 holes reported, of which most were shallow RAB or aircore. Just 6 RC holes
are reported, dating from 1987. Nevertheless, several significant gold intercepts have been made in this limited drilling
including 24m at 0.8 g/t Au from 6m depth and 12m at 1.1 g/t Au from 12m depth. Data was compiled and reviewed, and a
drilling plan was drawn up.
Also, in the same area, Thomson applied for a new EL which was granted as EL8946. This covered several historic gold
workings to the northwest of the Yalgogrin gold field and extending over the area of Thomson’s EL 8163 at Gibsonvale.
EL8163 was then cancelled. (see Figures 1, 2).
Tin
The Bygoo Farm in with BeiSur OstBarat Agency Ltd. expired on 30 June 2019, meaning that the project remains 100%
Thomson Resources, with no third party interest. In general, the tin market conditions deteriorated significantly during 2019-
20. From a peak of $US22,000 in March 2019 the price per metric tonne of tin fell 39% to $US13,400 in March 2020. Due to
this tin price collapse the investment outlook for tin projects deteriorated and the Company shelved any further work on the
project during the financial year. The project remains a valuable asset and Thomson intends to undertake a program of work
in 2020/21 to develop the tin projects further.
New Frontiers Co-operative Drilling Grants
During the year Thomson Resources successfully applied for, and was awarded, two grants to fund drilling on ELs 8011 and
8613 (Wilgaroon project and Wilga Downs project respectively). These are to fund diamond drilling of concealed targets – on
EL8011 the target is tin-tungsten in or above the roof zone of the Wilgaroon granite and on EL8163 the target is a 1km long
Tritton-type copper-zinc geophysical and geochemical anomaly at Wilga Downs. At present the Company is discussing with
potential partners to complete this drilling.
Tenement Holdings and Joint Ventures
Thomson holds 8 Exploration Licenses in NSW covering 764 square kilometres, after the purchase of EL8684 and the grant
of EL8964. A joint venture arrangement is in place over Havilah (EL 7391) with Silver Mines Ltd (ASX:SVL).
Competent Person

Mt Paynter Project – tin and tungsten
The Mt Paynter exploration licence (EL 8392) was granted in late 2015. The EL covers a significant tin-tungsten (Sn-W)
occurrence at Mt Paynter in southern NSW. A small Inferred JORC 2004 Resource was defined on the Main Lode in 2007.
This comprises 245,000 tons grading 0.45% tungsten and 0.27% tin (1100 tons of tungsten and 660 tons of tin). This
information was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004 (details in Thomson Resources release of 30
September 2015). It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information
has not materially changed since it was last reported. There are prospects for additional mineralisation on the main lode
with potential to extend to the east and west as well as down dip. The area was significantly affected in the bushfires of
2019-20 and access has been affected.

COVID-19 Impact
COVID-19 and regulatory controls arising from it have had minimal impact on the Company. The initial stages of COVID-
19 regulation, whilst impacting on both exploration activities and capital raising sentiment, did not directly impact the
Company as it was not seeking to do either at that time.
As has been demonstrated, when the Company was ready to both raise capital and undertake exploration activities on its
tenements in the Lachlan Fold Belt, in June/July 2020, it was able to do both with both a heavily oversubscribed fully
underwritten Entitlements Issue and a drilling program. The drilling program was only impacted by the wet weather which
caused the drilling to only be undertaken at the Yalgogrin gold project and not at the Harry Smith gold project.
The operation of the Company has not been impacted given Directors and administrative support are well used to operating
in a virtual environment. COVID-19 restrictions have stopped the Board having face to face meetings, but this has not
stopped its effective operation.
Other than availability of drilling crews, which may be slightly impacted, the Board does not consider the present level of
COVID-19 restrictions will impact on it effectively carrying out its activities going forward in the foreseeable future.
The Company did not receive any JobKeeper payments during the financial year.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020
1. Corporate information
The financial report of Thomson Resources Ltd (the
Company) for the year ended 30 June 2020 was
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of
the Directors on 4 September 2020.
Thomson Resources Ltd (the parent) is a company
limited by shares, incorporated on 17 July 2009 and
domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded
on the Australian Securities Exchange Ltd using the ASX
code TMZ.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the
financial statements of Thomson Resources Ltd and its
subsidiaries (the Group or Consolidated Entity).
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the
Company are described in the Directors’ Report.
2. Summary of significant
accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report,
which has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of
the Corporations Act 2001 and
Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report
has been prepared on a historical cost basis. All amounts
are presented in Australian dollars.
Statement of compliance
law. Accounting Standards
The financial report is a general purpose financial report
which has been prepared in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and
Interpretations, and complies with other requirements of
include Australian
the
equivalents
International Financial Reporting
Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures
that the financial statements and notes of the Group
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS).
to
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the
financial statements of Thomson Resources Ltd
(Thomson or
its subsidiaries
the Company) and
(collectively, the Group) as at 30 June each year.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for
the same reporting period as the parent company, using
consistent accounting policies.
All intercompany balances and transactions, income and
expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group
transactions have been eliminated in full.
16 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2020
Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of
profit after tax in the statement of comprehensive income
and are presented within equity in the consolidated
statement of financial position, separately from the equity
of the owners of the parent. Losses are attributable to the
non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit
balance.
from
the date on which control
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on
which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be
consolidated
is
transferred out of the Group. At this date, any retained
interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with
the change in 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.
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation
is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful life of the asset as follows:
Plant and equipment – 5 years.
Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for
impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon
disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the
asset (calculated as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item)
is included in the income statement in the period the item
is derecognised.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.
Interest in jointly controlled operations
– joint ventures
The Group has no current interest in exploration joint
ventures that are jointly controlled. A joint venture is a
contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties
undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint
control. A jointly controlled operation involves use of
assets and other resources of the venturers rather than
establishment of a separate entity. The Group
recognises its interest in the jointly controlled operations
by recognising the assets that it controls and the
liabilities that it incurs. The Group also recognises the
expenses that it incurs and its share of any income that
it earns from the sale of goods or services by the jointly
controlled operations.
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020
Recoverable amount of assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether
there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.
Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group
makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where
the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable
amount the asset is considered impaired and is written
down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is
the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in
use.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised initially on the date
that the Company becomes party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument.
On initial recognition, all financial instruments are
measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for
instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss
where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).
Financial assets
recognised
All
financial assets are subsequently
measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair
value, depending on the classification of the financial
assets.
Classification
On initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial
assets into the following categories, those measured at:
amortised cost
fair value through profit or loss - FVTPL
value
fair
income - equity instrument (FVOCI - equity)
through
other
comprehensive
value
through
fair
income - debt investments (FVOCI - debt)
other
comprehensive
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their
initial recognition unless the Company changes its
business model for managing financial assets.
Amortised cost
Assets measured at amortised cost are financial assets
where:
the business model is to hold assets to collect
contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to
cash flows are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Company's financial assets measured at amortised
cost comprise trade and other receivables and cash and
cash equivalents in the statement of financial position.
17 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2020
Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are
carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method less provision for impairment.
Interest income, foreign exchange gains or losses and
impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Gain or loss
on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Fair value through other comprehensive income
The Company does not hold any assets measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets through profit or loss
The Company does not hold any assets measured at fair
value through profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets
Trade receivables and contract assets
Impairment of trade receivables and contract assets
have been determined using the simplified approach in
AASB 9 which uses an estimation of lifetime expected
credit losses. The Company has determined the
probability of non-payment of the receivable and contract
asset and multiplied this by the amount of the expected
loss arising from default.
Other financial assets measured at amortised cost
Impairment of other financial assets measured at
amortised cost are determined using the expected credit
loss model in AASB 9. On initial recognition of the asset,
an estimate of the expected credit losses for the next 12
months is recognised. Where the asset has experienced
significant increase in credit risk then the lifetime losses
are estimated and recognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company measures all financial liabilities initially at
fair value less transaction costs, subsequently financial
liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method.
The financial liabilities of the Company comprise trade
payables, bank and other loans and lease liabilities.
Exploration, evaluation, development
and restoration costs
Exploration and evaluation
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on
behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each
area of interest. Such expenditure comprises net direct
costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead
expenditure, but does not include general overheads or
administrative expenditure not having a specific
connection with a particular area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation costs in relation to separate
areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current are
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020
brought to account in the year in which they are incurred
and carried forward provided that:
Such costs are expected to be recouped through
successful development and exploitation of the
area, or alternatively through its sale.
Exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area
have not yet reached a stage which permits a
reasonable assessment of
the existence or
otherwise of economically recoverable reserves.
Once a development decision has been taken, all past
and future exploration and evaluation expenditure in
respect of the area of interest is aggregated within costs
of development.
Exploration and evaluation – impairment
The Directors assess at each reporting date whether
there is an indication that an asset has been impaired
and for exploration and evaluation cost whether the
above carry-forward criteria are met.
Accumulated costs in respect of areas of interest are
written off or a provision made in the Income Statement
when the above criteria do not apply or when the
Directors assess that the carrying value may exceed the
recoverable amount. The costs of productive areas are
amortised over the life of the area of interest to which
such costs relate on the production output basis,
provisions would be reviewed and if appropriate, written
back.
Development
Development expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the
Group is accumulated separately for each area of
interest in which economically recoverable reserves
have been identified to the satisfaction of the directors.
Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and, in the
same manner as
for exploration and evaluation
expenditure, an appropriate portion of related overhead
expenditure having a specific connection with the
development property.
All expenditure incurred prior to the commencement of
commercial levels of production from each development
property is carried forward to the extent to which
recoupment out of revenue to be derived from the sale of
production from the relevant development property, or
from the sale of that property, is reasonably assured.
No amortisation is provided in respect of development
properties until a decision has been made to commence
mining. After this decision, the costs are amortised over
the life of the area of interest to which such costs relate
on a production output basis.
18 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2020
Restoration
Provisions for restoration costs are recognised when the
Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as
a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are determined by discounting the expected
cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and, where
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to
the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of one year or less. For
the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and
cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents
as defined above, net of any outstanding bank
overdrafts, if any.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be
reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract,
the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but
only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The
expense relating to any provision is presented in the
income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect
of the time value of money is material, provisions are
determined by discounting the expected future cash
flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and, where
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to
the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Employee entitlements
Liabilities for wages and salaries are recognised and are
measured as an amount unpaid at the reporting date at
current pay rates in respect of an employee’s services up
to that date. A liability in respect of superannuation at the
rate has been
current superannuation guarantee
accrued at the reporting date.
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020
Share-based payments
Revenue
In addition to salaries, the Group provides benefits to
(including Directors and Key
certain employees
Management personnel) of the Group in the form of
share-based payment transactions, whereby employees
render services in exchange for shares or rights over
shares (“equity-settled transactions”).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with
employees is measured by reference to the fair value at
the date at which they are granted. The fair value of the
options is determined by using the Binomial option
pricing model. In valuing transactions settled by way of
issue of options, no account is taken of any vesting limits
or hurdles, or the fact that the options are not
transferable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is
recognised, together with a corresponding increase in
equity, over the period in which the vesting conditions are
fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant
employees become fully entitled to the award (the
vesting period).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled
transactions at each reporting date until vesting date
reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has
expired and (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number
of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No
adjustment

performance conditions being met as the effect of these
conditions is included in the determination of fair value at
grant date. The income statement charge or credit for a
period represents the movement in cumulative expense
recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
is made
the
for
No expense is recognised for awards that do not
ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only
conditional upon a market condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, at a
minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had
not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised
for any modification that increases the total fair value of
the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise
beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of
modification. If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is
treated as if it had vested on the date of the cancellation,
and any expense not yet recognised is recognised
immediately.
However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled
award and designated a replacement award on the date
it is granted, the cancelled and the new award are treated
as if there was a modification of the original award, as
described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect,
if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional
share dilution in the computation of earnings per share
except where such dilution would serve to reduce a loss
per share.
19 > Thomson Resources Ltd Annual Report 2020
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable
that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific
recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is
recognised:
Interest
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the
effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash receipts through the
expected life of the financial instrument) to the net
carrying amount of the financial asset.
Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior
periods are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The
tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary
differences at the balance sheet date between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all
taxable temporary differences:
Except where the deferred income tax liability arises
from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and,
at the time of the transaction, affects neither the
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

temporary differences, carry-forward of
deductible
unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent
that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences, and
the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax
losses can be utilised:
Except where the deferred income tax asset relating
to the deductible temporary difference arises from
the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020
Impairment of assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether
there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If
any such indication exists, or when annual impairment
testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an
estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair
value less costs to sell and its value in use and is
determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does
not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of
those from other assets or groups of assets and the
asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to
its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for
impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which
it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or
cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount,
the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired
and is written down to its recoverable amount.

assessments of the time value of money and the risks

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to

that previously

may have decreased. If such indication exists, the

is estimated. A previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the estimates used to determine the
asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment
loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying
amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable
amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net
of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised
for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised
in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued

In respect of deductible temporary differences
associated with
in subsidiaries,
investments
associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred
tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is
probable that the temporary differences will reverse
in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be
available against which the temporary differences
can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is
reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable
profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
income tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured
at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based
on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Income
taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are
recognised in equity and not in the income statement.
Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of
the amount of GST except:
Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods
and services is not recoverable from the taxation
authority, in which case the GST is recognised as
part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part
of the expense item as applicable.
Receivables and payables are stated with the
amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,
the taxation authority is included as part of receivables
or payables in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on
a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows
arising from investing and financing activities, which is
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority,
are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the

Significant accounting judgements,
estimates and assumptions
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are
often determined based on estimates and assumptions
of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that
have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment
to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities
within the next annual reporting period are:
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-
based payments at fair value at the grant date using the
Binomial formula taking into account the terms and
conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as
detailed in Note 13.
Capitalisation and write-off of capitalised
exploration costs
The determination of when to capitalise and write-off
exploration expenditure
the exercise of
judgement based on various assumptions and other
factors such as historical experience, current and
expected economic conditions.
requires
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental
costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax,
from the proceeds.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit
attributable to members of the Group, adjusted to
exclude any costs of servicing equity divided by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit
attributable to members of the Group, adjusted for:
Costs of servicing equity.
Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going
concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal
business activities and the realisation of assets and the
settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group recorded a loss after tax of $462,983 (2019:
$1,029,136) for the year ended 30 June 2020. At 30 June
2020 the Group had cash and cash equivalents of
$38,424 (2019: $285,596) and net assets of $2,247,756
(2019: $2,473,396).
On 9 June 2020 the Company announced a capital
raising by way of a fully underwritten non-renounceable
entitlements issue to raise up to approximately $0.89M
(before expenses). Further to the successful completion
of the entitlements issue, on 13 July the Company
announced that it intends to undertake a placement,
subject to shareholder approval, through the rights issue
underwriter to raise an additional $495k (before costs).
Approval for this placement is proposed to be sought at
the 2020 AGM.
The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that
support the ability of the Group to continue as a going
concern for the period up to 30 June 2021. The cash flow
projections assume the Group substantially increases
exploration activities and receipt of funding from the
placement and other capital raisings. If the placement
funding or other capital raisings are not secured, the
Directors are satisfied that existing cash resources
remain sufficient to fund planned exploration activities
and in addition, the Group is able to reduce expenditure
to the level of funding available if necessary.
Accounting standards issued but not
yet effective
Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations that
have been issued or amended but are not yet effective
have not been adopted by the Consolidated Entity for the
year ended 30 June 2020. The Consolidated Entity plans
to adopt these standards at their application dates.
The after tax effect of dividends and interest
associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares
that have been recognised as expenses.
It is anticipated that the application of these standards
will not have a material effect on the Group’s results or
financial reports in future periods.
Other non-discretionary changes in revenues or
expenses during the period that would result from
the dilution of potential ordinary shares.
The Director’s assessment of the impact of all other new
standards and interpretations is that they will not have a
material impact on the financial report of the Company.
Divided by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares,
adjusted for any bonus element.

No provision for income tax is considered necessary in respect of the Company for the period 30 June 2020.
The Group has a deferred income tax liability of Nil (2019: Nil) associated with exploration costs deferred for accounting
purposes but expensed for tax purposes. This liability has been brought to account and offset by deferred tax assets
attributed to available tax losses. No recognition has been given to any deferred income tax asset which may arise from
available tax losses, except to the extent offset against deferred tax liabilities. The Group has estimated its losses at
$6,906,433 (2019: $6,443,450) as at 30 June 2020.
A benefit of 27.5% (2019: 27.5%) of approximately $1,899,269 (2019: $1,771,949) associated with the tax losses carried
forward will only be obtained if:
The Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the
deductions for the losses to be realised.
The Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law.
No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

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

the exploration expenditure incurred. This information is disclosed in Note 8 of this financial report. No segment revenues
are disclosed as each exploration tenement is not at a stage where revenues have been earned. Furthermore, no segment
costs are disclosed as all segment expenditure is capitalised, with the exception of expenditure written off which is
disclosed in Note 8.
Financial information about each of these tenements is reported to the Chief Executive Officer on an ongoing basis.
Corporate office activities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations
of any segment and comprise of the following:
Interest revenue.
Corporate costs.
Depreciation and amortisation of non-project specific property, plant and equipment.
20. Contingent liabilities
The Group has provided guarantees totalling $70,000 (2019: $130,000) in respect of exploration tenements in NSW as at
30 June 2020. These guarantees in respect of exploration tenements are secured against term deposits with a banking
institution and cash held by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment – Resources and Energy. The Company
does not expect to incur any material liability in respect of the guarantees.
21. Financial instruments
The Board as a whole is responsible for reviewing the Company’s policies on risk oversight and management and satisfying
itself that Senior Management have developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control.
The Company’s risk management policy has been designed to identify, assess, monitor and manage material business
risks to ensure effective management of risk. These policies are reviewed regularly to reflect material changes in market
conditions and the Company’s risk profile.
The main risks identified in the Company’s financial instruments are capital risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk
and commodity price risk. Summarised below is information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, their
objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, the management of capital and financial instruments.
Capital risk management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern. The Board’s policy is to
maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development
of the Company. In order to achieve this objective, the Company seeks to maintain a sufficient funding base to enable the
Company to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs.
The Board ensures costs are not incurred in excess of available funds and will seek to raise additional funding through the
issue of shares for the continuation of the Company’s operations when required.
The Company considers its capital to comprise of its ordinary share capital, option reserve and accumulated losses. There
were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to
externally imposed capital requirements.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020
Financial risk management objectives
In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This
note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to
measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.
During the period there have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its
objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods
unless otherwise stated in this note.
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company’s risk management objectives and policies and,
whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that
ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company’s finance function. The Company’s risk
management policies and objectives are designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the
Company where such impacts may be material. The Board receives regular reports from the Financial Controller through
which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it
sets. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. The Company does not use
derivative financial instruments to hedge these risk exposures.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the
Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these risks are set out below.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
Company.
The Company mitigates credit risk on cash and cash equivalents by dealing with banks that have high credit-ratings
assigned by Standard and Poors. There is one counterparty for Cash and Cash equivalents the Commonwealth Bank of
Australia. Credit risk of receivables is low as it consists predominantly of GST recoverable from the Australian Taxation
Office and interest receivable from deposits held with regulated banks.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents
Receivables
Deposit with bank
Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligation as they fall due. The Company’s
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities
when due.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an appropriate risk management
framework for the management of the Company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity requirements. The
Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash
flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

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

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

The above analysis assumes all other variables remain constant.
Commodity price risk
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk. This risk arises from its activities directed at exploration and
development of mineral commodities. If commodity prices fall, the market for companies exploring for these commodities
is affected. The Company does not hedge its exposures.
Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities of the Company approximate their net fair values, given the short
time frames to maturity and or variable interest rates.
22. Commitments
Exploration licence expenditure requirements
In order to maintain the Company’s tenements in good standing with the various mines departments, the Company will be
required to incur exploration expenditure under the terms of each licence. Exploration licences renewed or granted in NSW
after 1 July 2017 have no exploration expenditure commitment. These commitments are not binding as exploration
tenements can be reduced or relinquished at any time.

It is likely that the granting of new licences and changes in licence areas at renewal or expiry will change the expenditure

There were, at the date of this report, no matters or circumstances which have arisen since 30 June 2020 that have
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, other than:
The Company completed the fully underwritten Entitlements Issue oversubscribed by shareholders to raise $891,106
(before costs) to fund general working capital expenses and exploration activity (as more fully described at section 1.4
the Prospectus) (see ASX Release dated 13 July 2020).

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the members of Thomson Resources Ltd,
Report on the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Thomson Resources Ltd (the company
and its subsidiaries) (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statements of financial
position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated
statements of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its
performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations
2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with
the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical
requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which
has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the
directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statements which states the Directors have
prepared cash flow forecasts that support the ability of the Group to continue as a going
concern for the period up to 30 June 2021 assuming substantial increases in exploration
activities and receipts of funding from placements and other capital raisings. In light of the
current COVID-19 pandemic and related economic impacts, if the placement funding or other
capital raisings are not secured, the Directors are satisfied that existing cash resources will be
sufficient to fund planned exploration activities and in addition, the Group is able to reduce
expenditure to the level of funding available if necessary.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters for the financial year ended 30 June
2020.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit
matter
Capitalised Deferred Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
$2.46 million
Refer to Note 8
The consolidated entity owns the rights
to several exploration licenses in New
South Wales.
Expenditure relating to these areas is
capitalised and carried forward to the
extent they are expected to be recovered
through the successful development of
the respective area or where activities in
the area have not yet reached a stage
that permits reasonable assessment of
the existence of economically
recoverable reserves.
This area is a key audit matter due to:
• The significance of the balance;
• The inherent uncertainty of the
recoverability of the amount
involved; and
• The substantial amount of audit work
performed.
Our audit procedures included amongst
others:
• Assessing whether any facts or
circumstances exist that may
indicate impairment of the
capitalised assets;
• Performing detailed testing of
source documents to ensure
capitalised expenditure was
allocated to the correct area of
interest;
• Performing detailed testing of
source documents to ensure
expenditure was capitalised in
accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards;
• Obtaining external confirmations to
ensure the exploration licences are
current and accurate; and
• Assessing the reasonableness of the
capitalisation of employee’s salaries.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 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.
Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that
gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the
Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to
liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a
whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing
Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this
financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•
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.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the year ended
30 June 2020.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Thomson Resources Ltd for the year ended 30 June
2020 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit
conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
