Our Company
Our Company

Tigers Realm Coal Limited
Tigers Realm Coal Limited (Tigers  
Realm Coal, TIG, or the Company) is an  
ASX-listed company producing coking 
and thermal coal from its operations in  
the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug 
(District) on Russia’s east coast.

TIG’s aim is to become a significant 
producer of coking coal supplying the 
seaborne markets in Asia. The Company 
is focused on the further exploration  
and development of its high-quality 
coking coal deposits and is committed  
to creating sustainable benefits for  
the communities and region in which  
it operates. 

The Company is developing two coking 
coal projects. The Amaam North project 
has been operational for four years 
supplying unwashed coal products 
to the North Asian steel and thermal 
coal markets through our own port 
at Beringovsky, some 35km from the 
mining operation. The immediately 
adjacent Amaam project remains in a 
pre-development stage. The Amaam 
basin contains significant resources of 

quality coking coal and adjoins the site 
of a potential new deep-water port which, 
if constructed would allow an extended 
shipping season together with the  
direct loading of coal cargo to cape  
sized vessels.

In 2020, the Company achieved an 
increased annual production of 792kt 
(2019: 750kt) and annual sales of 775kt 
(2019: 581kt) notwithstanding the impact 
of the COVID-19 Pandemic (“COVID-19”) 
on seaborne coal markets. TIG also 
assumed full operational control of all port 
activities and increased transshipment 
volumes to 760kt, an increase of 180kt 
over the tonnage achieved in 2019. 
Transshipment was carried out using 
TIG’s four 500-tonne barges. In addition 
to achieving significantly greater loading 
volumes, TIG reduced transshipment 
costs by more than half compared to 
previous year.  

In addition to improved operational 
performance and notwithstanding the 
extraordinary challenges arising from 
COVID-19, TIG achieved several key 
milestones necessary to assure long-
term shareholder value. Key among 

these milestones were the completion of 
design work for the coal processing plant 
and ancillary coal handling facilities, the 
signing of an equipment supply contract 
with UK-based Derek Parnaby Cyclones, 
Inc. (DPCI) for delivery of a modular coal 
handling and preparation plant (“CHPP”) 
and updating the JORC Resources 
and Reserves Report at Amaam North. 
With respect to the DPCI contract, TIG 
anticipates delivery of the equipment to 
Beringovsky in June 2021. 

During 2021 TIG will be primarily focused 
on the construction of the first processing 
module of the CHPP with commissioning 
works targeted for completion by August 
2021. Should we meet these targets we 
would accordingly anticipate the shipment 
of our first cargoes of semi–hard coking 
coal (“SHCC”) before the close of the 
2021 shipping season. 

The Company’s registered office 
is located in Melbourne, Australia. 
Management is principally located  
in our offices in Moscow and on site  
in Chukotka.

Highlights 2020
Highlights 2020

+  TIG achieved zero Lost Time 
Injuries (“LTI”) and reduced 
the Total Reportable Injury 
Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”)  
from 4.0 to 3.08

+  Mining volumes increased 
year-on-year by 6% from 
750kt to 792kt. Sales volumes 
increased by 33% from 581kt 
to 775kt. The significant 
increase in sales volumes 
was enabled as a result of 
increased transshipment 
capacity. TIG loaded 760kt 
with our own 500-tonne 
barges. This volume 
represents a historical  
record for Beringovsky  
port and an increase of  
31% over the previous year

+  Transhipment costs1 per tonne 
sold decreased to A$6.95 
(US$5.03) compared to 
A$16.19 (US$11.26) in 2019 
fully vindicating our decision 
to take over all Beringovsky 

port activities. Key specific 
drivers included having all four 
500-tonne barges available 
at the start of the navigational 
season, improved pre-season 
dredging together with generally 
improved operational and 
maintenance procedures 

+  The average cost2 per tonne 
of coal mined decreased 
from A$47.49 (US$33.03) in 
2019 to A$43.68 (US$31.57) 
in 2020, mainly as a result 
of efficiencies gained from 
utilization of heavier equipment 
brought to the site in 2019  
and the depreciation of the 
Russian Rouble relative to  
the Australian dollar

+  TIG signed an equipment 

supply contract with DPCI for 
supply of a modular CHPP. 
Installation of the CHPP is 
central to completing the  
next phase of our development 

  strategy. The modular CHPP 
concept was chosen with the 
help of leading international 
coal preparation experts 
and taking into account the 
location and climate conditions 
of TIG’s operations, with the 
various processing elements 
designed to optimise yield  
and product quality on the  
run-of-mine coal material

+  TIG completed a fully 

underwritten 1 for 1.4 pro-rata 
accelerated renounceable 
entitlement offer (“Entitlement 
Offer”) primarily for CHPP 
funding but also to provide 
additional working capital  
for the Company. A total 
A$43.5 million was raised 
in the Offer, which was sub-
underwritten by Dr. Bruce Gray, 
a major TIG shareholder, and 
which received strong support 
from a number of other 
shareholders

1. Transshipment costs include costs incurred to transship coal from the stockpile to bulker.
2. The average cost per tonne of coal mined includes all costs to mine and haul coal to the stockpile.

Chairman’s  
Review

Dear Shareholders,

Despite the extraordinary 
challenges faced during 2020, 
our Company has shown both 
tremendous resilience to deep 
market uncertainties as well as 
ongoing commitment to the 
steady achievement of the agreed 
strategic objective of growing 
our operation both in terms of 
sustainability as well as materiality 
to the markets we target.

During the reporting period  
we faced multiple uncertainties, 
primarily triggered by the  
COVID-19 epidemic, including 
sharp contractions in coal 
prices both in thermal as well 
as metallurgical markets, all 
manner of challenges to our 
company logistics in relation to 
the movement of men, mining 
equipment and materials and of 
course our saleable product. The 
management team’s handling of 
these uncertainties, together with 
the complications of continued 
operation of the mine and port as 
well as playing a supportive role to 
our local and regional community 
partners is to be commended.

The deep level of support that we 
have received from local and state 
government together with their 

understanding of our need for 
continuity of operations which, 
whilst balancing our key priority 
of the safety and security of our 
workforce and local community, 
have allowed us to continue on  
our development pathway requires 
our acknowledgement and thanks.

The safety of our employees and 
local communities is a core element 
within the Board’s objectives and 
I am particularly pleased that our 
safety record continues to improve 
at site. The fact that TIG achieved 
zero Lost Time Injuries and was 
able to reduce the Total Reportable 
Injury Frequency Rate by 23% is 
illustrative of an ongoing emphasis 
by the senior team on our core 
values of care and respect. 

In January 2021 TIG successfully 
completed an Entitlement Offer, 
raising A$43.5 million in order 
to finance the CHPP as well as 
to provide additional working 
capital to the Company. I would 
like to express my appreciation 
to all TIG shareholders who 
participated in the Offer expressing 
particular thanks to TIG’s largest 
shareholder, Dr. Bruce Gray, who 
sub-underwrote the Offer, thereby 
assuring both its success and 
TIG’s ability to continue building 
shareholder value.

Chief Executive 
Officer’s Report

“Our resilient  
business model 
allowed the Company 
to quickly adjust  
to the challenges  
of COVID-19”

During 2020 we signed a contract 
for supply of a modular CHPP, 
progressed the civil engineering 
works related to the CHPP and 
updated Amaam North JORC 
Resources & Reserves. TIG’s 
mining volumes increased by 6% 
and shipping volumes by 31% year 
– on – year. Overall, 17 cargoes 
with a total of 760kt were shipped 
during the year. The cargoes 
consisted of 602kt of thermal coal 
and 158kt of metallurgical coal. 

Additionally, TIG completed several 
sales to customers within the local 
market, bringing total sales to 
775kt. I am particularly pleased that 
through increasing sales volumes 
and a focus on cost controls, TIG 
managed to reduce FOB1 cost per 
tonne of coal sold by nearly 17%, 
from A$64.26 in 2019 to A$53.45 
for 2020. This reduction was made 
possible by more than halving 
transshipment costs after taking 
over operational control of our port.

Dear Shareholders,

Thank you for your continued 
support during this extraordinary 
and challenging year. 

The COVID-19 has been an 
extraordinary challenge for our 
Company and for the whole world, 
but I am proud of TIG’s response 
to the challenges encountered in 
2020. The Company’s top priority 
is to protect the health, safety 
and wellbeing of our people 
and the communities that host 
our business. We have taken 
actions to protect our workforce 
against COVID-19 by ensuring the 
availability of self-isolation facilities 
at our operational site, providing 
employees with necessary 
personal protective equipment, 
implementing remote working 
for employees based in Moscow 
and ensuring extensive testing 
of all employees arriving at the 
operational site. We had no LTI 
during this year and our TRIFR 
fell 23 per cent to 3.08 per million 
hours worked.

Our resilient business model 
allowed the Company to quickly 
adjust to the challenges of 
COVID-19. Increased sales 
volumes and measures to protect 
cash flows, including deferrals of 
capital expenditures, temporary 
reductions in senior management 
salaries and cost efficiencies 
helped us to offset a material 
portion of the impact of lower coal 
prices during the 2020 shipping 
season. 

1. All costs to mine and transship from the stockpile to bulker per tonne of coal sold.

Tony O’Connell consents to the inclusion in the 
report of the matters based on his information  
in the form and context in which it appears.

Note A – Inferred Resources 
According to the commentary accompanying 
the JORC Code an ‘Inferred Mineral Resource’ 
is that part of a Mineral Resource for which 
quantity and grade (or quality) are estimated 
on the basis of limited geological evidence and 
sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to 
imply but not verify geological and grade (or 
quality) continuity. It is based on exploration, 
sampling and testing information gathered 
through appropriate techniques from locations 
such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and 
drill holes. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a 
lower level of confidence than that applying to 
an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be 
converted to an Ore Reserve. It is reasonably 
expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral 
Resources could be upgraded to Indicated 
Mineral Resources with continued exploration.

Note B – Indicated Resources
According to the commentary accompanying 
the JORC Code an ‘Indicated Mineral Resource’ 
is that part of a Mineral Resource for which 
quantity, grade (or quality), densities, shape 
and physical characteristics are estimated with 
sufficient confidence to allow the application of 
modifying factors in sufficient detail to support 
mine planning and evaluation of the economic 
viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is 
derived from adequately detailed and reliable 
exploration, sampling and testing gathered 
through appropriate techniques from locations 
such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and 
drill holes, and is sufficient to assume geological 
and grade (or quality) continuity between 
points of observation where data and samples 
are gathered. An Indicated Resource may be 
converted to a Probable Ore Reserve.

Note C – Measured Resources
According to the commentary accompanying 
the JORC Code a ‘Measured Mineral Resource’ 
is that part of a Mineral Resource for which 
quantity, grade (or quality), densities, shape, 
and physical characteristics are estimated with 
confidence sufficient to allow the application 
of Modifying Factors to support detailed mine 
planning and final evaluation of the economic 
viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is 
derived from detailed and reliable exploration, 
sampling and testing gathered through 
appropriate techniques from locations such 
as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill 
holes, and is sufficient to confirm geological 
and grade (or quality) continuity between points 
of observation where data and samples are 
gathered. A Measured Mineral Resource has 
a higher level of confidence than that applying 
to either an Indicated Mineral Resource or an 
Inferred Mineral Resource. It may be converted 
to a Proved Ore Reserve or under certain 
circumstances to a Probable Ore Reserve.

Note D – Exploration Target
According to the commentary accompanying 
the JORC Code an Exploration Target is a 
statement or estimate of the exploration potential 
of a mineral deposit in a defined geological 
setting where the statement or estimate, quoted 
as a range of tonnes and a range of grade (or 
quality), relates to mineralisation for which there 
has been insufficient exploration to estimate 
a Mineral Resource. Any such information 
relating to an Exploration Target must be 
expressed so that it cannot be misrepresented 
or misconstrued as an estimate of a Mineral 
Resource or Ore Reserve. The terms Resource 
or Reserve must not be used in this context.

Note E – Reserves
According to the commentary accompanying 
the JORC Code a ‘Reserve’ is the economically 
mineable part of a Measured and/or Indicated 
Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials 
and allowances for losses, which may occur 
when the material is mined or extracted and 
is defined by studies at Pre-Feasibility or 
Feasibility level as appropriate that include 
application of Modifying Factors. Such studies 
demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, 
extraction could reasonably be justified.

Overview of  
TIG’s Operations
Tigers Realm Coal Ltd’s (ASX: TIG) 
strategy is to become a significant 
supplier of coking coal to the seaborne 
market via the progressive development 
of the Amaam Coking Coal Field.

The Amaam Coking Coal Field 
comprises two large coal resource 
deposits in the Far East of the  
Russian Federation:

• Amaam North (TIG 100% interest): 

a large coal basin, of which 
Fandyushkinskoye Field is currently 
in the production expansion phase. 
In December 2019, Rosnedra, the 
Russian natural resource licencing 
authority, approved a Mining and 
Excavation Plan (“TPRM”) for the 
integrated development of the 
Fandyushkinskoye and Zvonkoye 

licence areas. Consequently, future 
references to Amaam North will refer 
to the unified development of both 
license areas.

• Amaam Coal Deposit (TIG interest 
– 80%) a potentially large-scale 
coking coal project, which has the 
potential for TIG to increase overall 
production to 5Mtpa. Expansion to 
this production level will, however, 
require significant investment in 
infrastructure.

The Amaam and Amaam North 
licences cover an area of about 709 
sq. km in the Chukotka Autonomous 
Okrug (District) of Russia. Our current 
operations are located approximately 
230km south of the regional capital of 
Anadyr and approximately 35km to the 
south east of Beringovsky township 
and TIG’s wholly owned coal  
terminal and port infrastructure. 

Amaam North is comprised of: 

• Exploration Licence No. AND 
01203 TP (Levoberezhny “Left 
Bank” Licence), being the broader 
exploration licence from which the 
following Exploration and Extraction 
(Mining) Licences have been  
carved out to date; 

• Mining Licence No. AND 15813 TE 
(Fandyushkinskoye Field); and 

• Mining Licence No AND 01314 TE 
(“Zvonkoye”), issued in 2018 for  
a 20-year term.

TIG operates its own infrastructure 
with coal haulage along its own 
35km, all-season pit to port road 
and Beringovsky coal terminal, fully 
owned and operated by TIG with our 
four 500-tonne barges. For the 2021 
navigational season, we will also  
have two 100t barges in operation.

TIG’s strategy with respect to 
developing the Amaam Coking  
Coal Field is currently envisaged  
in three stages:

Stage 1: Development of Amaam 
North up to a 1.5+Mtpa primarily 
coking coal operation shipped  
through the Beringovsky Port,  
split into 2 phases:

• Phase One: up to 0.75Mtpa utilizing 
existing infrastructure and mining  
and haulage fleet (completed);

• Phase Two: 1.5+Mtpa, with 225kt 

oxidised and 1.275Mt through CHPP 
to get 830kt of washed coal with 65% 
yield, an upgrade of mine and port 
infrastructure, and increasing mining 
and haulage fleet capacity.

Stage 2: Amaam North production 
increases up to 2Mtpa

Stage 3: Development of Amaam.

TIG has successfully completed  
Phase One of Stage 1 and is working 
on implementing Phase Two to increase 
Amaam North coal production and 
sales volumes. In order to achieve this 
next strategic objective at the Amaam 
North deposit, TIG is focused on 
installing the processing capacity  
to enable the Company to sell a  
higher-value product of consistent 
quality into the Semi-Hard coking  
coal (SHCC) markets. This SHCC 
product will allow TIG to achieve 
significantly higher average prices than 
those currently being achieved for a 
basket of unwashed coal products. 

In October 2020 TIG signed a contract 
for supply of a modular CHPP with 
DPCI. Work under the contract is 
proceeding on schedule for delivery 

to Beringovsky in June 2021. Detailed 
engineering works and preparation for 
civil construction are also underway. 
TIG expects commissioning works to 
be finished in 2021 so as to allow the 
first SHCC product to be sold during 
the 2021 shipping season.

Management is optimistic that a 
material increase in production is 
achievable. In order to obtain sufficient 
geological evidence of the additional 
mineable coal required to increase 
production, TIG will need to perform 
further drilling & exploration works. 

The ability to optimally integrate the 
Amaam project into the overall Amaam 
Coking Coal Field development 
and maximise the extent to which 
investment is made both in processing 
capacity and logistics infrastructure  
is currently under review.

Operations Update
COVID-19

A number of measures were 
implemented to protect TIG’s 
employees during the COVID-19 
Pandemic. All employees arriving  
at the Chukotka operational site were 
tested for COVID-19 upon arrival.  
From April 10 to July 6 all new arrivals 
also stayed in self-isolation for 14 days. 
TIG secured self-isolation facilities in 
Beringovsky for over 90 staff members 
who arrived during the planned shift 
change, which was postponed by  
1 month to ensure the safety of TIG’s 
staff members. 

TIG provided its employees with the 
recommended personal protective 
equipment. Additional measures  
were implemented at the port to ensure 
continuity of our loading operations. 
Such measures included insuring that 
arriving bulker crews were checked by 
a medical professional prior to the start 
of loading.

Management has been engaging with 
the relevant governmental agencies 
and bodies on all COVID-19-related 
measures. To fight the spread of 
COVID-19 TIG has offered additional 
support to Chukotka and the Company 
has purchased and donated high 
accuracy coronavirus tests and 
personal protective equipment for  
local hospitals.

Health and Safety 

Health and safety are at the forefront 
of our considerations. During 2020 the 
company continued to improve and 
support its workplace safety culture. 
TIG’s cumulative Total Reportable  
Injury Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”) 
decreased to 3.08 compared with  
4.0 per million hours worked in 2019  
as a result of TIG’s HSE-related 
activities. There were no LTI in 2020.

The company continued HSE 
inductions for all new employees  
in addition to supplementary HSE  
reviews for existing employees.  
HSE risk assessments and incident 
follow-up procedures were further 
expanded this year, emphasising 
working conditions throughout our 
operations, including but not limited to:

• Road safety culture and traffic 

management measures taking  
into account the effect of weather 
and road conditions, driver health 
and well-being, equipment condition 
and incident follow-up actions;

• Staff well-being: the role of staff 
scheduling, rest and the effects  
of fatigue and diet;

• Workplace organisation and safety; 

• Guidance and awareness: Weekly 
safety briefings, cautioning and 
informative signage on all objects; 

• The continued evolution of  

mine rescue team operational  
guidelines; and

• Safety passports maintained to 
ensure active awareness of the 
importance which safety plans  
in the execution of daily activities.

The Company is committed to 
continuously improve its safety systems 
and performance via the development 
of a site safety culture that puts 
controls in place for potential hazards. 
Development and management of 
the Company’s Risk Register is also a 
significant tool to enhance the Health 
and Safety programme. 

Environment &  
Stakeholder Relations

Environment

The Company continues to work on 
managing the impact of its operations 
on the local environment. 

In 2020, we concentrated on the

camp, mine, and port 

• Continued clean-up of old legacy 

scrap metal and polluting materials 
at the port and within all areas of 
operational footprint

Stakeholder Relations

Our operations are located in a remote 
part of the Russian Federation, and 
our activities need to complement the 
requirements of local communities and 
their future plans and aspirations. We 
place a priority on attracting employees 
from the local community whenever 
possible and providing them with 
training opportunities.

Annual Report 2020Tigers Realm Coal       In 2020, TIG played a leading role in a 
number of events and initiatives aimed 
at supporting the local community:

• Three indigenous community 

projects were selected for funding 
support by TIG in cooperation with 
the Association of Indigenous People 
of Chukotka;

• In early June representatives of the 
Association of Indigenous People of 
Chukotka visited the port to evaluate 
the impact of our operations on the 
local environment. TIG demonstrated 
the operation of the recently repaired 
coal conveyor and our fleet of 500kt 
barges;

• TIG has provided charitable 

assistance to local school students;

• On World Environment Day (June 
7th) for the third year in a row TIG 
staff organized trash and industrial 
garbage collection in the township  
to improve the safety and overall 
quality of the local environment;

• Beringovsky office staff took part in 

cleaning the Lakhtin lagoon together 
with the eco-activists of Beringovsky;

• TIG has created a hotline for 

enquiries regarding mining and

Mining Operations

Mining volumes increased year-on-
year by 6% from 750kt to 792kt and 
comprised of 494kt of thermal coal  
(2% reduction from last year’s 506kt) 
and 298kt of metallurgical coal  
(22% increase from 244kt in 2019).

The higher stripping ratio in first  
half of 2020 was largely a result  
of pre-stripping activities in March.  
By engaging in pre-stripping only, 
we were able to focus our mining 
equipment on overburden removal  

at a time when weather conditions 
typically impede the efficiency  
and safety of pit – to – port haulage 
operations. In the second half of 
2020, the stripping ratio decreased 
with 4,804bcm of waste overburden 
removed at an average stripping  
ratio of 6.1bcm:t in 2020.

Annual Report 2020Tigers Realm Coal       Haulage Operations

Haulage operations centre around 
our fleet of 20 Scania trucks. Our total 
fleet capacity remained constant from 
2019 to 2020. In August, TIG achieved 
a peak monthly haulage rate of 100kt 
from pit to port. 

The Company continued to improve 
the condition of the road and its fleet 
management practices, the emphasis 
being on road safety culture and driving 
conditions to minimise traffic related 
incidents. TIG carried out construction 
works including new culverts and 
river crossings to improve safety 
and haulage efficiency and reduce 
environmental impact.

Sales and Marketing

During 2020, TIG delivered 17  
cargoes with a total of 760kt of coal. 
This consisted of 602kt of thermal  
and 158kt of semi-soft coking coal 
(“SSCC”). COVID – 19 affected demand 
for both TIG’s metallurgical and thermal 
coal products generally, but most 
significantly in its core Japanese 
customer base. Consequently, sales 
were concentrated mostly in China and 
Vietnam during 2020. Sales were also 
made to a long-standing customer in 
Taiwan and a trial SSCC cargo was  
delivered to Korea. In addition, three 
thermal coal cargos were sold to 
domestic customers. 

TIG continued to focus on quality 
control and building long-term 
customer relations. As a result of our 
focus on quality, we experienced no 
quality-related claims during the year 
while continuing to ship increased 
volumes to several key customers with 
whom we have developed a robust and 
beneficial working relationship.

The sharp contractions in coal prices 
during the first nine months of 2020 
were subsequently reversed in the 
fourth quarter by resurgent Chinese 
demand and the partial rebalancing of 
supply. Unfortunately, as TIG’s shipping 
season ended in early December, the 
depressed prices during the first nine 
months had a substantial negative 
impact on TIG’s financial performance 
for the year.

After falling from early 2020 through 
September, the Asian coking coal 
market recovered in Q4 2020, driven 
by demand in China, India and South 
East Asia together with the partial 
re-start of blast furnaces in Japan. 
The market was severely disrupted 
by Australia – Chinese trade disputes 
which impacted trade flows for coking 
coal and effectively split the market into 
two segments with two different price 
structures – China (the non-Australian 
Supplier’s Market), and the rest of the 
world (where Australian coking coal  
has been in oversupply).

Demand for TIG SSCC suffered 
significantly in 2020 due to the 
temporary suspension of operations 
at several blast furnaces by our major 
Japanese customers. These customers 
are now requesting SSCC cargos 
for 2021 delivery. However, with the 
commissioning of the CHPP in 2021, 
much of the raw coking coal feedstock 
will be washed to produce semi-hard. 
The demand from Japan bodes  
well for future sales of higher  
quality washed coking coal from 
Amaam North.

In terms of thermal coal, production 
this year was mostly of higher ash 
(28% – 30% ash) material with calorific 
value of around 5,000 – 5500 kcal/kg 
NAR. It is expected that this quality of 
production will continue during 2021 
until the CHPP is commissioned, and 
that high-ash thermal coal sales into 
China and Vietnam will be the mainstay 
of TIG’s marketing efforts until washing 
commences and SHCC production 
begins.

2020 Beringovsky Port 
Operations

With transhipment volumes of  
760kt – a 31% increase over the 
previous year – TIG’s port performance 
improved dramatically during the first 
full year during which TIG operated 
the port itself. Beyond the increased 
volumes, transshipment costs per 
tonne sold decreased to A$6.95 
(US$5.03) compared to A$16.19 
(US$11.26) in 2019 – a decrease  
of 57%. 

Preparations for the season included 
extensive dredging works, bringing to 
site and training over 70 port personnel, 
repair works on housing facilities 
and other lodging arrangements, 
maintenance of the coal loading 
system, repair works on our fleet  
and obtaining all necessary licenses 
and approvals.

Amaam Overview 

TIG holds an 80% interest in the 
Amaam tenement and licences 
covering the area of 231km2, located 
30km from the Bering Sea coast. 

The Amaam Project is a multi-seam, 
moderate dipping deposit within a 
synclinal basin. Coal is in the Middle 
Chukchi coal formation and is divided 
into four main areas by north-west 
trending faults. 

With the company’s primary focus on 
Amaam North, there was no operational 
activity during 2020 at Amaam other 
than preparatory geological and project 
work being performed as part of future 
drilling activities. 

Corporate Activities

As part of the Entitlement Offer 
launched on 18 December 2019, a 
retail offer component was completed 
on 5 February 2020 and the shortfall 
bookbuild was closed on 12 February 
2020. On 5 June 2020 at the Annual 
General Meeting TIG’s shareholders 
approved the issue to Dr. Bruce Gray of 
1.3 billion shares of shortfall bookbuild, 
resulting in receipt of A$13m (US$9m) 
on 23 June. A total of A$58.2 million 
was raised during this Entitlement Offer.

In June 2020, in light of the prevailing 
market conditions, TIG undertook 
a review of all operations, capital, 
operating, and overhead expenditures. 

As a result, TIG reduced certain 
operating and overhead expenses  
and delayed some capital expenses. 
Some staff salaries were reduced.  
The Company agreed to proposals  
by the CEO, Dmitry Gavrilin, and the 
CFO, Dale Bender, that their salaries  
be reduced by 10%. Moscow office rent 
expenses have been reduced by two 
thirds by moving to smaller premises  
at a lower cost. 

On 11 January 2021 the shortfall 
bookbuild was completed. The 
bookbuild process was managed and 
fully underwritten by CLSA Australia Pty 
Ltd and sub-underwritten by Dr. Bruce 
Gray. Pursuant to his sub-underwriting 
agreement, 2.7 billion shares were 
issued to Dr. Gray, increasing his 
overall shareholding in the TIG  
to 59.95%. In total TIG raised  
A$43.5 (US$32) million. 

In August 2020 Ralph (Tav) Morgan 
has resigned from Board, effective 
26 August 2020. At the same date 
David Swan was appointed as an 
Independent Non – Executive Director. 

Proceeds from the entitlement offer  
will be used to fund the construction 
and commissioning of the CHPP, 
working capital and transaction costs, 
as follows:

On 16 December 2020, TIG launched 
a fully underwritten 1 for 1.4 pro-rata 
accelerated renounceable Entitlement 
Offer at a price of A$0.008 per share 
to raise A$43.5 (US$32) million. The 
institutional entitlement offer closed 
on 17 December 2020, raising 
gross proceeds of approximately 
A$17.2million (US$12.7 million) with 
the Company’s largest shareholder 
Dr. Bruce Gray taking up his full 
entitlement. The retail component of 
the offer opened on 21 December 2020 
and was completed on 4 January 2021 
with very good support from a  
number of shareholders, including  
Mr. Paul Little, taking up full and partial 
entitlements. The retail offer raised 
approximately A$3.7 million  
(US$2.8 million). 

• A$27 million (US$20 million) for the 

development of the CHPP, as follows:
–   Design works – A$1.2 million  

(US$0.9 million);

–  Civil works – A$8.8 million  

(US$6.5 million);

–   Equipment supply and 

construction – A$14.7 million 
(US$10.8 million);  and

–   Contingency – A$2.3 million 

(US$1.8 million)

• A$15 million (US$11 million)  

for working capital 

• A$1.5 million (US$1 million)  

of transaction and other costs.

Review of Operations 

Business Strategies and Group Objectives 

The Group’s objectives encompass the development of the Amaam Coking Coal Deposits, comprising its two, well-located, large 
coking coal projects in the Far East of the Russian Federation. 

•  Amaam  North:  a  low-cost  starter  project  providing  a  fast  track  to  production  and  earnings,  utilising  existing 

infrastructure and supporting development of the entire Amaam Coking Coal Field; and 

•  Amaam: a large  coal  resource  which  will  enable scaling  TIG  production  up  to  5 million  tonnes per  annum (“Mtpa”) 

from dedicated new infrastructure. 

Amaam North 

Development of Amaam North started with development of the Fandyushkinsky Field licence AND 15813 TE area (“Project F”), 
a part of Amaam North. A Project F Feasibility Study Update was completed in April 2016, subsequent to which the Group raised 
funds  via  a  non-renounceable  rights  issuance,  the  primary  use  of  proceeds  being  on  the  development  of  Project  F.  After 
completing the necessary initial construction works in the second half of 2016, commercial mining commenced in January 2017.  

In  September  2018,  TIG  was  granted  Exploration  and  Mining  licence  No  AND  01314  TE  over  the  Zvonkoye  deposit, 
geographically  located  next  to  an  eastern  extension  of  Project  F.  In  2019  TIG  applied  for  a  Mining  and  Excavation  Plan 
(“TPRM”)  for  the  integrated  development  of  the  Fandyushkinskoe  Field  and  Zvonkoye  license  areas,  which  was  approved  in 
December 2019. Consequently, future references to Amaam North will refer to the unified development of both license areas.  

Further  development  of  Amaam  North,  which  includes  an  upgrade  of  mine  site  infrastructure,  the  Beringovsky  Port  and  Coal 
Terminal and to be supplemented by the construction of a coal handling and preparation plant (“CHPP”), will enable the Group to 
produce  and  sell  higher-value  coal  and  is  expected to increase  coal sales  up to  1.4Mtpa.  To  optimise capital  spend  and  obtain 
suitable financing, TIG decided to proceed with the option of a modular plant. In October 2020 TIG signed a contract for supply 
of  a modular  CHPP  with  UK  based  Derek  Parnaby  Cyclones  International  Limited  (“DPCI”).  Fabrication  and  works  under the 
contract  are  proceeding  on schedule for  delivery to  Beringovsky  in  June  2021.  Detailed engineering  works  and  preparation  for 
civil construction are also underway. The construction of the CHPP will enable the Company to sell a higher-value product of a 
consistent  quality  into  the  semi–hard  coking  coal  (“SHCC”)  markets.  This  SHCC  product  should  achieve  significantly  higher 
prices  than  those  currently  being  achieved  for  the  unwashed  coal  products  being  sold  into  thermal  and  semi-soft  coking  coal 
markets.  TIG  expects commissioning  works  to  be finished  in  2021 to allow the first  SHCC product to  be  sold during the  2021 
shipping season.

During 2020, TIG’s Directors and Management maintained a strong focus on achieving a comprehensive response to the COVID–
19  Pandemic.  During  this  challenging  year  the  Company’s  top  priority  was  to  protect  the  health,  safety  and  wellbeing  of  our 
people  and  the  communities  that  host  our  business.  TIG  has  implemented  a  number  of  measures  to  ensure  normal  operating 
activities, including implementing remote working for employees based in Moscow, extensive testing of all employees arriving at 
the Chukotka operational site, ensuring the availability of self-isolation facilities in Beringovsky, and providing employees with 
necessary personal protective equipment, such as gloves, masks, glasses, and sanitizers.  Management has been engaging with the 
relevant government agencies and bodies on all COVID-19 related measures. To assist in fighting the spread of COVID-19, TIG 
purchased and donated high-accuracy coronavirus tests and personal protective equipment for local hospitals.  

The sharp  contractions in  coal prices during the first  nine months  of  2020  were  subsequently  reversed  in the fourth  quarter  by 
resurgent  Chinese  demand  and  the  partial  rebalancing  of  supply.  Unfortunately,  as  TIG’s  shipping  season  ended  in  early 
December, the depressed prices during the first nine months had a substantial negative impact on TIG’s financial performance for 
the year. To partially mitigate the impact of lower prices in 2020 TIG increased sales volumes by 33% compared to 2019. Largely 
as a result of TIG’s ability to increase production, revenue decreased by only 4% compared to 2019. 

The challenges driven by COVID – 19 notwithstanding, TIG managed to achieve a number of significant milestones during 2020. 
These  included  taking  full  control  over  port  operations,  signing  a  contract  with  DPCI  for  the  supply  of  CHPP  equipment, 
progressing  with  the  CHPP  design  and civil  engineering  works, securing  financing for the  CHPP  &  2021  working  capital  and 
updating the JORC report for Amaam North.  

In  2020,  TIG managed to significantly decrease  transshipment  costs  per tonne sold to  A$6.95(US$5.03) compared  to  A$16.19 
(US$11.26) in 2019 as a result of TIG’s decision to take over the port operations. In 2020, TIG’s loaded 760kt coal – a historical 
record loading for Beringovsky port and an increase of 31% compared to 2019 loaded volumes. This success was primarily due to 
appropriate  dredging  works  before  the  start  of  the  2020  shipping  season,  improving  the  coal  conveyor  system,  training  port 
personnel, and proactively carrying out repair works on our barge fleet. 

Despite the stripping ratio increasing from 4.7 bcm/t in 2019 to 6.1 bcm/t in 2020, TIG managed to decrease mining costs from 
A$47.49 in 2019 to A$43.68 (US$31.57). The decreased costs were largely the result of 1) efficiencies gained from utilization of 
heavier equipment brought to the site in 2019 and 2) the depreciation of the Russian Rouble relative to the Australian dollar. 

The combined effect  of  above  factors resulted in  a  negative  gross margin of  A$0.327 million  for the  year ended 31  December 
2020 (2019: A$4.540 million). 

The average margin per tonne of coal sold during the year ended 31 December 2020 was A$(0.42) (US$(0.31)) (2019: A$12.44 
(US$8.69)), the weighted average FOB sales price per tonne (“FOB/t”) being A$53.30 (US$38.53) (2019: A$76.76 (US$53.38)).  

Significant investments in mining and port assets totalling A$9.244 million during the year ended 31 December 2020 included:  

  Advances made for CHPP equipment; 
  Design and engineering works for CHPP; and  
  Acquisition of additional 100t barge 

During 2020, TIG also undertook a review of all operating, capital, and overhead expenditures. As the result of this review, TIG 
reduced certain operating and  overhead expenses, including some staff salaries. The Company agreed to proposals by the CEO, 
Dmitry Gavrilin, and the CFO, Dale Bender, that their salaries be reduced by 10%. Moscow office expenses were lowered by two 
thirds by moving to smaller premises at a lower rate per metre. 

Financial Position 

Cash balances 

The  Group’s  cash  balance  increased  by  A$14.163  million  over  the year  to  A$18.879 million at  31  December  2020.  This increase 
arose primarily from the proceeds of the December 2020 Entitlement Offer (“2020 Entitlement Offer”), offset by operational losses 
and  further  investment  in  the  Company’s  mining  and  logistics  infrastructure  of  A$9.244  million  (31  December  2019:  A$6.026 
million). 

As of 31 December 2020, the Company has no unused, available credit lines (As at 31 December 2019: Nil).

Inventory on hand 

The  lower  of  cost  and  net  realisable  value  of  the  Group’s  inventories  on  hand  at  31  December  2020  is  A$23.129  million  (31 
December  2019:  A$28.805  million),  including  A$11.095  million  of  coal  stocks,  A$1.370  million  in  fuel  and  oils  and  A$10.664 
million of other consumables. Management performs a regular review of the recoverability of inventories, including coal stocks, to 
assess the Company’s ability to recover the cost of coal inventories on hand. No additional provision in respect of coal stocks was 
recognized as of 31 December 2020 (31 December 2019: a provision of A$4.432 million). 

Non-current assets 

The  Company  performs  twice  annually  a  review  for  the  existence  of  conditions  indicating  either  the  necessity  to  perform  an 
impairment review or to  consider the  necessity  to  reverse  previously recognised impairments.  Refer to  Note  9 to the consolidated 
financial statements for further details. 

A CAT D10 bulldozer with the carrying value of A$0.254 million was written off during the year ended 31 December 2020 as a 
result of damage for which repairs to restore it to its previous operational condition were assessed as not economically justifiable 
(For the year ended 31 December 2019:  three haulage trucks with carrying value of A$0.460 million were written off).  

Leases 

During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group executed a leasing arrangement to finance the acquisition of a 100  –tonne 
barge.  The  cost  of  the  barge  and,  the  lease  liability  upon  initial  recognition  was  A$0.319  million.  As  part  of  the  liquidity 
management strategy the Group has also restructured two of its existing lease arrangements by extending the lease term from four 
to five years and changed payment schedule for another three lease arrangements. 

Options 

During the year ended 31 December 2020, no options were granted and 18,439,000 options lapsed or were forfeited and have been 
removed from the Company’s option register. Total number of options as at 31 December 2020 is 9,907,000. 

Shareholder loan 

On 2 January 2020, following the issuance of shares to BV Holding Limited, substantial shareholder of TIG, the loan payable to 
BV Holding Limited of A$14.776 million was settled in full. On 2 January 2020, A$13.138 million out of A$14.641 million loan 
payable to  Dr  Bruce  Gray  was settled,  following the issuance of shares to  Dr  Bruce  Gray, the  Group’s  director and substantial 
shareholder.  

On 10 July 2020, a supplemental deed to the loan agreement with Dr Bruce Gray was signed, extending the loan maturity date to 
31 December 2020 and lowering the interest rate from 20% to 12% starting 24 June 2020. On 4 February 2021, the outstanding 
loan payable to Dr Bruce Gray and interest accrued thereon of A$1.864 million was settled in full. 

Royalty Agreement liability 

After the assessment of the provision for the obligations under the Royalty Agreement liability at 31 December 2020, the Group 
recognized an  increase in the royalty liability  of  A$5.690 million,  offset by  A$1.283 million  decrease due to  foreign exchange 
movement and A$0.330 payments. As at 31 December 2020 the provision amounted to A$18.063 million (At 31 December 2019: 
A$13.986 million). Refer to Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements for further details. 

Share Capital 

The  2019  Entitlement  Offer  (“2019  Entitlement  Offer”)  closed  on  5  February  2020,  as  a  result  of  which  the  Group  raised 
A$45.191 million. Entitlements not taken up during the 2019 Entitlement Offer were offered for sale in a shortfall bookbuild.  The 
Group  received  a  bid  for  a majority of the  shortfall  from  Hanate Pty  Ltd,  an entity  associated  with  Dr  Bruce  Gray.  On  5 June 
2020,  a  shortfall  bookbuild  of  1.3  billion  shares  at  a  price  of  A$0.01  per  share  (A$13.038  million)  was  approved  by  TIG 
shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and on 24 June 2020 new shares were issued. Total funds raised through the 2019 
Entitlement Offer including the Shortfall Bookbuild were A$58.229 million. 

On  16  December  2020  TIG  launched  a  fully  underwritten  1  for  1.4  pro-rata  accelerated  renounceable  entitlement  offer  (“2020 
Entitlement Offer”) at a price of A$0.008 per share to raise A$43.512 million, mainly for CHPP funding and to provide additional 
working capital. The Institutional entitlement offer closed on 17 December 2020 raising gross proceeds of A$17.151 million with 
Dr. Bruce Gray taking up his full entitlement. The remaining A$26.361 million were raised in January 2021.

Significant Business Risks 

The  lower  of  cost  and  net  realisable  value  of  the  Group’s  inventories  on  hand  at  31  December  2020  is  A$23.129  million  (31 

December  2019:  A$28.805  million),  including  A$11.095  million  of  coal  stocks,  A$1.370  million  in  fuel  and  oils  and  A$10.664

TIG’s operations and  annual budget are subject to a range of  business risks,  assumptions and expectations all of which contain 
various levels of uncertainty and outcome. TIG has adopted a Risk Policy through which a risk management framework identifies, 
analyses,  mitigates  and  monitors  the  risks  applicable  to  the  Group.  Identified  risks  are  entered  into  a  risk  register  which  is 
maintained by a committee of senior management and staff. Significant risks are presented  at least twice annually to the Audit, 
Risk and Compliance Committee and, following each review, are formally reported and discussed by the Board.  

Detailed  below  are  risk  areas  identified  as  at  the  date  of  the  Directors’  Report  which  may  affect  TIG’s  future  operating  and 
financial performance. 

The  Company  performs  twice  annually  a  review  for  the  existence  of  conditions  indicating  either  the  necessity  to  perform  an 

impairment review or to  consider the  necessity  to  reverse  previously recognised impairments.  Refer to  Note  9 to the consolidated 

Country Risk 

TIG’s projects are located in Russia. Operating in this jurisdiction may expose TIG to a range of significant country specific risks 
including general economic, regulatory, legal, social and political conditions. These and other country specific risks may affect 
TIG’s ability wholly or in part to operate its business in the Russian Federation.   

COVID-19 Pandemic 
The COVID-19 Pandemic has made a profound impact on global economic activity.  Measures enacted by numerous governments 
in response to COVID-19 led to a sharp drop in demand for both metallurgical and thermal coal and, consequently, a substantial 
decrease in coal prices.  While a certain level of market recovery in TIG’s key markets has been observed over the last several 
months  and  COVID-19  vaccines  are  beginning  to  become  broadly  available,  substantial  uncertainties  remain.  Supply  chain 
disruptions  have  been  severe,  and  the  time  required  for  their  restoration  is  still  not  known.    Additionally,  mutations  of  the 
COVID-19 virus have been observed, and the extent to which currently-available vaccines will provide protection against these 
mutations is not yet clear.  In general, the COVID-19 Pandemic demonstrated the ability of an unforeseen health crisis to have a 
materially  negative  impact  on  the  global  economy.  A  continuation  of  the  measures  that  have  been  put  in  place  in  response  to 
COVID-19  or  the  enactment  of  new  measures  in  response  to  COVID-19  or  some  other  threat  to  public  health  could  have  a 
negative impact on TIG’s business, and that impact could be material. 

Uncertainty in estimation of Mineral Resources and Reserves  

Estimating  the  quantity  and  quality  of  Mineral  Resources  is  an  inherently  uncertain  process  and  the  Mineral  Resources  and 
Reserves stated, as well as any Mineral Resources or Reserves TIG states in the future, are and will be estimates, and may not 
prove to be an accurate indication of the quantity of coal that TIG has identified or that it will be able to extract.  

In November 2020 TIG has announced the results of a new JORC report with respect to Amaam North – Project F. Compared to 
the coal reserves set out in the 2019 Annual Report TIG’s Recoverable Reserves increased by 2.8 million tonnes (“Mt”) to 23.8Mt 
(15.0Mt  proved  and  8.8Mt  probable)  while  Marketable  Reserves  decreased  by  0.34Mt  to  15.4Mt  (9.8mt  proved  and  5.6mt 
probable). TIG’s Amaam North Resources decreased by 23.4Mt to 85.6Mt. 

Project Assessment and Development Risk 

The process of developing and constructing Amaam North (including the CHPP) will be subject to many uncertainties, including 
the timing and cost of construction, the receipt of required government permits and the availability of financing for the projects. 
There  is  a  risk  that  unexpected  challenges  or  delays  will  arise,  or  that  coal  quality  and  quantity  results  will  differ  from  the 
estimates on which TIG’s cost estimates are based, increasing the costs of production and/or resulting in lower sales.  

Mining  and  development  operations  can  be  affected  by  force  majeure  circumstances,  environmental  considerations  and  cost 
overruns for unforeseen events. Any event that impacts on the production rates potentially may reduce the quantity of coal mined 
and thereby reduce the amount of coal available for sale.  

Events  that  could  adversely  impact  on  production  rates  include,  but  are  not  limited  to  geotechnical  and  geological  conditions; 
equipment  availability,  utilisation  rates  and  failure;  development  rates  at  which  relevant  coal  seams  are  exposed;  weather 
(including flooding) and natural disasters; unexpected maintenance or technical problems; depletion of TIG’s reserves; increased 
or unexpected reclamation costs; and interruptions due to transportation delays; interruptions to supplies of required materials and 
services; and the actions of potential contractors engaged by TIG to operate its projects (including any breach of contract or other 
action outside TIG’s control). 

TIG  is  at  the  preliminary  stage  of  determining  the  economic  and  technical  viability  of  the  Amaam  Licence.  To  date  TIG  has 
completed a Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) and subsequent resource updates on the Amaam project. There is a risk that the 
more detailed studies in relation to the Amaam project may disprove assumptions or conclusions reached in the PFS, may reveal 
additional challenges or complexities and may indicate the cost estimates are incorrect. In addition, TIG must proceed through a 
number of steps before making a final investment decision with respect to the projects, conducting definitive feasibility studies, 
converting Resources to Reserves, obtaining government approvals and permits and obtaining adequate financing.

Review of operations (continued) 

Operational Risks 

The Group’s projects may be subject to operational, technical or other difficulties, including those arising as a result of unforeseen 
events outside the control of the Company, any or all of which may negatively impact the amount of coal produced, delay coal 
deliveries  or  increase  the  estimated  cost  of  production,  which  may  have  an  adverse  impact  on  the  Company’s  business  and 
financial condition.  These risks include: 

•  General Economic Risks: TIG’s ability to obtain funding for the projects, financial performance and ability to execute 
its  business  strategy  will  be  impacted  by  a  variety  of  global  economic,  political,  social,  stock  market  and  business 
conditions.  Deterioration or an extended period of adversity in any of these conditions could have an adverse impact on 
TIG’s financial position and/or financial performance. 

•  Coal Market and Demand: TIG intends to earn future profits from the production and sale of coal and a decline in prices 
or  lower demand  for  coal than  expected by  TIG may  adversely impact the feasibility  of the  Company’s development 
and mine plans, and the economic viability of the projects. The Company faces commodity price risk when valuing its 
projects, having adopted long-term sales price estimates in accordance with independent third-party external forecasts, 
validated against long-term market expectations.  
Exchange  Rate  Variations:  Significant  changes  in  the  Australian  /  US  Dollar,  US  Dollar  /  Russian  Rouble  and  the 
Australian Dollar / Russian Rouble exchange rates may have a significant impact on TIG’s ability to fund the capital 
expenditure required to construct these projects. 

• 

Climate-related risks 

The  introduction  of  new  and/or  more  stringent  carbon  pricing  mechanisms  in  Russia,  and/or  the  Group’s  key  coal  importing 
countries  such  as  China  and  Japan  may  reduce  the  cost  competitiveness  of  coal  as  an  energy  source.  Further,  changes  in 
government  policy relating  to  either coal consumption or energy generation  in  large  Asian economies could impact the  longer-
term  outlook  for  global  coal  demand.  Changes  in  the  longer-term  global  coal  demand  outlook  could  have  an  impact  on  the 
Group’s future coal revenues and the recoverability of undeveloped coal reserves. 

Capital Management 

The nature of the Company’s mining operations is such that coal production continues throughout the winter season, whilst sales 
are  only  realised  during  the  Beringovsky  Port  shipping  season.  The  shipping  season  historically  commences  in  June  and  port 
operations may continue as late as November. The length of the shipping season is limited, resulting in the necessity of engaging 
vendors  in  the  first  half  of  the  calendar  year  prior  to  the  generation  of  operating  cashflows  from  coal  sales.  This  seasonality 
significantly impacts both on the nature, level and timing of required funding. 

The  Company,  therefore,  must  ensure  that  its  liquidity  levels  are  managed  during  the  period  between  shipping  seasons. 
Consideration  is  also  required  of  the  extent  and  timing  of  capital  expenditures  and  the  related  forward  funding  commitments 
necessary to achieve the Company’s expected development levels.  

As  previously  disclosed,  in  December  2020  the  Company  launched  an  entitlement  offer  to  raise  A$43.512  million.  As  of  31 
December the Company raised A$17.151 million during the institutional component of an entitlement offer. A further funds of 
A$26.361 million were received after the Offer closed on 14 January 2021. 

TIG’s Amaam project is at the pre-development stage and will require additional drilling, evaluation and feasibility study work 
prior to a development decision. Should TIG proceed to develop the Amaam project upon completion of further definitive studies, 
significant capital expenditure will be required.  

Licenses, Permits and Titles 

TIG  requires  certain  licenses,  permits  and  approvals  to  develop  the  Amaam  North  and  Amaam  projects.  There  are  three  main 
approvals required to commence the construction and operation of a mining project in Russia. These are a) an Exploration and 
Extraction Licence (Mining Licence); b) a Construction Permit; and c) a Commissioning Permit. Due to the current stage of the 
Amaam project, the Company has not yet applied for the majority of the required licences, permits and approvals to construct and 
operate the mine. Amaam exploration license AND 01379 TP (former AND 01277 TP) renewal was completed in June 2020. 

For Project F Amaam North, the Mining Licence was granted in December 2014 and work has been completed in obtaining all 
relevant Construction and Commissioning Permits. In 2019 Rosnedra, the Russian natural resource licensing authority, approved a 
Mining and Excavation Plan (“TPRM”) for the integrated development of the Fandyushkinskoe and Zvonkoye license areas. The 
2021 mine plan already includes production from both areas.  

In  addition  to  specific  mining-related  approvals,  other  approvals  are  required  for  the  development  of  Amaam  North.  Such 
approvals relate to the CHPP, road development from the Amaam North mine site to Beringovsky Port and Coal Terminal and for 
the capital upgrades to be completed at the Beringovsky Port and Coal Terminal.  

There are also a number of conditions and regulatory requirements that TIG must satisfy with respect to its tenements to maintain 
its interests in those tenements in good standing, including meeting specified drilling and reporting commitments.

Licenses, Permits and Titles (continued) 

The Group’s projects may be subject to operational, technical or other difficulties, including those arising as a result of unforeseen 

events outside the control of the Company, any or all of which may negatively impact the amount of coal produced, delay coal 

deliveries  or  increase  the  estimated  cost  of  production,  which  may  have  an  adverse  impact  on  the  Company’s  business  and 

financial condition.  These risks include: 

There is a risk that TIG may fail to obtain or be delayed in obtaining the licences, permits and approval, or meet the conditions 
required  to  maintain  its  interests  in  the  tenements.  In  the  event  that  TIG  fails  to  obtain,  or  delays  in  obtaining  such  licenses, 
permits and approvals occur, and there arises a failure to meet tenement licence commitments, such events may adversely affect 
TIG’s ability to proceed with the projects as currently planned. 

Feasibility Studies of the Amaam deposit development for licence areas АНД 01278 (Zapadny) and АНД 01288 (Nadezhny) were 
completed and approved in 2019. Following this approval, TIG will develop and have approved a Mining and Excavation Plan 
(“TPRM”) for Zapadny licence area, outlining the expected mining approach and volumes from the licence area.

Events subsequent to reporting date  

Entitlement Offer  

As  previously  discussed, on 16  December  2020  TIG launched  a fully  underwritten  1  for 1.4  pro-rata  accelerated  renounceable 
entitlement offer at a price of A$0.008 per share to raise up to A$43.512 million. The institutional entitlement offer closed on 17 
December 2020 raising gross proceeds of approximately A$17.151million (US$12.7million) with Dr. Bruce Gray taking up his 
full entitlement. The retail component of the offer opened on 20 December 2020 and was completed on 4 January 2021. The retail 
offer  raised  approximately  A$3.684 million (U$2.8  million).  On 11  January  2021  the  Shortfall  Bookbuild  was  completed.  The 
Bookbuild  process  was  managed  and  fully  underwritten  by  CLSA  Australia  Pty  Ltd  and  sub-underwritten  by  Dr.  Bruce  Gray. 
Pursuant  to  his  sub-underwriting  agreement,  2.7  billion  additional  shares  were  issued  to  Dr.  Gray,  increasing  his  overall 
shareholding in the TIG to 59.95%. In total TIG raised A$43.512 (US$32) million.  

Proceeds from the 2020 Entitlement Offer will be used to fund the construction and commissioning of the CHPP, working capital 
and transaction costs, as follows: 

•  A$27 million (US$20 million) for the development of the CHPP, as follows: 

o  Design works  - A$1.2 million (US$0.9 million); 
o  Civil works – A$8.8 million (US$6.5 million); 
o  Equipment supply and construction – A$14.7 million (US$10.8 million);   and 
o  Contingency – A$2.3 million (US$1.8 million) 

•  A$15 million (US$11 million) for working capital  
•  A$1.5 million (US$1 million) for transaction and other costs 

TIG’s Amaam project is at the pre-development stage and will require additional drilling, evaluation and feasibility study work 

prior to a development decision. Should TIG proceed to develop the Amaam project upon completion of further definitive studies, 

Shareholder loan 

On 4 February 2021, the balance of the outstanding loan payable to Dr Bruce Gray and interest accrued thereon in the amount of 
A$1.864 million was settled in full. 

7.  

Dividends paid or recommended 

The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend and no amount has been paid or declared by way of a dividend to the 
date of this report. 

8. 

Likely developments 

In 2021, TIG plans to proceed with the construction of the CHPP. TIG expects commissioning works to be completed by August 
2021 to allow some SHCC product to be sold before the close of the 2021 shipping season.   

Ongoing enhancement of port, road and other mine infrastructure is expected during 2021. Amaam North expansion and funding 
alternatives  will  continue  to  be  investigated  further.  The  Group  will  progress  exploration,  appraisal  and  development  of  its 
Amaam project.

•  General Economic Risks: TIG’s ability to obtain funding for the projects, financial performance and ability to execute 

its  business  strategy  will  be  impacted  by  a  variety  of  global  economic,  political,  social,  stock  market  and  business 

conditions.  Deterioration or an extended period of adversity in any of these conditions could have an adverse impact on 

TIG’s financial position and/or financial performance. 

•  Coal Market and Demand: TIG intends to earn future profits from the production and sale of coal and a decline in prices 

or  lower demand  for  coal than  expected by  TIG may  adversely impact the feasibility  of the  Company’s development 

and mine plans, and the economic viability of the projects. The Company faces commodity price risk when valuing its 

projects, having adopted long-term sales price estimates in accordance with independent third-party external forecasts, 

validated against long-term market expectations.  

• 

Exchange  Rate  Variations:  Significant  changes  in  the  Australian  /  US  Dollar,  US  Dollar  /  Russian  Rouble  and  the 

Australian Dollar / Russian Rouble exchange rates may have a significant impact on TIG’s ability to fund the capital 

expenditure required to construct these projects. 

The  introduction  of  new  and/or  more  stringent  carbon  pricing  mechanisms  in  Russia,  and/or  the  Group’s  key  coal  importing 

countries  such  as  China  and  Japan  may  reduce  the  cost  competitiveness  of  coal  as  an  energy  source.  Further,  changes  in 

government  policy relating  to  either coal consumption or energy generation  in  large  Asian economies could impact the  longer-

term  outlook  for  global  coal  demand.  Changes  in  the  longer-term  global  coal  demand  outlook  could  have  an  impact  on  the 

Group’s future coal revenues and the recoverability of undeveloped coal reserves. 

Climate-related risks 

Capital Management 

The nature of the Company’s mining operations is such that coal production continues throughout the winter season, whilst sales 

are  only  realised  during  the  Beringovsky  Port  shipping  season.  The  shipping  season  historically  commences  in  June  and  port 

operations may continue as late as November. The length of the shipping season is limited, resulting in the necessity of engaging 

vendors  in  the  first  half  of  the  calendar  year  prior  to  the  generation  of  operating  cashflows  from  coal  sales.  This  seasonality 

significantly impacts both on the nature, level and timing of required funding. 

The  Company,  therefore,  must  ensure  that  its  liquidity  levels  are  managed  during  the  period  between  shipping  seasons. 

Consideration  is  also  required  of  the  extent  and  timing  of  capital  expenditures  and  the  related  forward  funding  commitments 

necessary to achieve the Company’s expected development levels.  

As  previously  disclosed,  in  December  2020  the  Company  launched  an  entitlement  offer  to  raise  A$43.512  million.  As  of  31 

December the Company raised A$17.151 million during the institutional component of an entitlement offer. A further funds of 

A$26.361 million were received after the Offer closed on 14 January 2021. 

significant capital expenditure will be required.  

Licenses, Permits and Titles 

TIG  requires  certain  licenses,  permits  and  approvals  to  develop  the  Amaam  North  and  Amaam  projects.  There  are  three  main 

approvals required to commence the construction and operation of a mining project in Russia. These are a) an Exploration and 

Extraction Licence (Mining Licence); b) a Construction Permit; and c) a Commissioning Permit. Due to the current stage of the 

Amaam project, the Company has not yet applied for the majority of the required licences, permits and approvals to construct and 

operate the mine. Amaam exploration license AND 01379 TP (former AND 01277 TP) renewal was completed in June 2020. 

For Project F Amaam North, the Mining Licence was granted in December 2014 and work has been completed in obtaining all 

relevant Construction and Commissioning Permits. In 2019 Rosnedra, the Russian natural resource licensing authority, approved a 

Mining and Excavation Plan (“TPRM”) for the integrated development of the Fandyushkinskoe and Zvonkoye license areas. The 

2021 mine plan already includes production from both areas.  

In  addition  to  specific  mining-related  approvals,  other  approvals  are  required  for  the  development  of  Amaam  North.  Such 

approvals relate to the CHPP, road development from the Amaam North mine site to Beringovsky Port and Coal Terminal and for 

the capital upgrades to be completed at the Beringovsky Port and Coal Terminal.  

There are also a number of conditions and regulatory requirements that TIG must satisfy with respect to its tenements to maintain 

its interests in those tenements in good standing, including meeting specified drilling and reporting commitments.

include the Company’s Directors and Senior executives.  

The  Board  is  committed  to  clear  and  transparent  disclosure  of  the  Company’s  remuneration  arrangements.  The  Company’s 
remuneration policy is designed to ensure that it enables the Company to attract and retain valued employees and motivate senior 
executives  to pursue the long-term  growth  and  success  of  the  Company, demonstrate  a clear relationship  between  performance 
and remuneration and have regard for prevailing market conditions.

Consequence of performance on shareholder wealth 

The  Directors  are  committed  to  developing  and  maintaining  a  remuneration  policy  and  practices  that  are  targeted  at  the 
achievement of corporate values and goals and the maximisation of shareholder value. 

When determining compensation for KMP, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board have regard to financial 
funding,  resource  development,  project  advancement  and  development,  and  other  objectives,  based  on  goals  set  by  the

Remuneration policy and structure for senior executives 

The  objective of the  Group’s  executive remuneration policy  is to ensure the reward for  performance is  market  competitive  and 
appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  structure  aligns  executive  reward  with  achievement  of  strategic  objectives  and  the 
creation of wealth for shareholders and conforms to market practice for delivery of reward. The structure provides a mix of fixed 
and  variable  remuneration  and  for  the  variable,  or  “at-risk”,  remuneration  a  blend  of  short-term  and  long-term  incentives.  As 
executives gain seniority within the Group, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher proportion of “at-risk” rewards. 

The Company’s remuneration policy and structure for its senior executives comprises three main components: 

• 

• 

• 

Fixed  Remuneration,  which  is  the  total  base  salary  and  includes  employer  superannuation  contributions.  The  fixed 
remuneration  reflects  the  job  level,  role,  responsibilities,  knowledge,  experience  and  accountabilities  of  the  individual 
executive  and  is  set  at  a  level  which  is  competitive,  aligned  with  the  business  needs  and  based  on  current  market 
conditions in the mining industry and countries in which the Company does business.                                                                  

Compensation levels are reviewed each year by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee to take into account cost-
of-living changes, any change in the scope of the role performed by the senior executive and any changes required to meet 
the principles of the remuneration policy. The review process considers individual and overall performance of the Group.    

Short-Term Incentive (“STI”), which is at-risk remuneration. This is an annual incentive award based on the achievement 
of pre-determined Company and individual objectives. These short-term incentives are available to executives and other 
eligible  participants  and  are at the discretion  of  the  Board.  The  STI  is  an at-risk  bonus,  which is  payable subsequent  to 
Board ratification of recommendations made by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee each year.  

Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”) Program is at-risk remuneration. Under the LTI Program employees, at the discretion of the 
Board, are offered options over ordinary shares in the Company under the Company’s Option Plan.

Remuneration report – audited (continued) 

Remuneration policy and structure for senior executives (continued) 

For the STI element of remuneration, a performance framework has been developed for KMP and other senior executives under 
the  STI  programme. Key Performance  Indicators (“KPIs”)  are  developed for  each individual,  which  are reassessed regularly to 
ensure they remain current and applicable as the Group’s operations develop. 

Individual performance against these KPIs is assessed annually by the individual’s manager or the CEO and is subject to Board 
discretion. The performance framework develops individual KPIs for KMP other than CEO, CFO and the GM Operations in the 
following proportions: 

• 
• 

30% Group related KPIs, (these are Health, Safety & Environmental specific, Project, and Corporate objectives); and 
70% Individual KPIs tailored to the role and objectives of each senior executive. 

For CEO, CFO and the GM Operations the proportion is 50% Group related KPIs and 50% Individual KPIs 

For  the  LTI  element  of  remuneration,  any  options  granted  under  the  Company’s  Option  Plan,  are  approved  by  the  Board  in 
advance. Further details of the Option Plan are included in Note  24 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company may 
make initial grants of options to certain senior executives as part of their individual employment contracts. It is a vesting condition 
that the holder of options remains an employee or director at the time of vesting. 

Employment contracts contain no termination benefits other than payments in lieu of notice and redundancy payments. The notice 
periods and redundancy payments vary for the individuals and depending upon the period of service.   

The  remuneration  and  other  terms  of employment for key management  personnel are  formalised in their  employment contracts 
and services contracts. 

(f) 

Employment contracts 

The Group has entered into employment arrangements with each senior executives, other than the General Manager Marketing, 
who  is  engaged  on  an  external  contractor  basis,  which  are  open-ended  contracts  with  no  expiry  date.  The  contracts  may  be 
terminated immediately on the basis of serious misconduct. The senior executives are also entitled to receive on termination of 
employment  their  statutory  and  contractual  entitlements  of  accrued  annual  and  long  service  leave,  together  with  any 
superannuation benefits.   

The employment contracts provide for the payment of performance-related bonuses under the STI programme and participation, 
where eligible, in the Company Option Plan under the LTI Program. The maximum bonus payable under the STI programme is up 
to 50% of total remuneration for senior executives.  The Group can elect to pay these bonuses in cash or by means of issuance of 
shares. 

The employment contract outlines the components of compensation but does not prescribe how compensation levels are modified 
year to year. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviews and makes any recommendations to the Board annually on 
compensation  levels,  assessing  the  necessity  or  otherwise  of  any  changes  required  so  as  to  meet  the  principles  of  the  Group’s 
compensation policy.  

(g) 

Remuneration of Executive and Non-Executive Directors 

On appointment to the Board, Non-executive Directors enter into service agreements with the Company in the form of a Letter of 
Appointment. The letter summarises the Board Policies and terms, including compensation, relevant to the office of Director. The 
employment contracts with Directors have no fixed term.   

Non-executive Director remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. Non-executive Directors are eligible for a fixed base fee 
for  being a  Director and may  receive additional fees  for  either  chairing or  being  a member  of  a  Board  committee,  working on

Since the LTI is provided exclusively by way of options, the percentages disclosed also reflect the value of remuneration consisting of 
options, based on the value of options expensed during the year. 

The Options Scheme prohibits executives from entering into arrangements to protect the value of unvested LTI Plan awards. The 
prohibition includes entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to options awarded as part of their remuneration package.

Corporate governance statement 

The  Board  of  Directors are responsible  for  the  Company’s  corporate  governance.  The  Board guides  and monitors  the business 

affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. The Company 

has  adopted  systems  of  control  and  accountability  as  the  basis  for  administration  of  corporate  governance.  The  Board  is 

committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the highest standards of corporate 

governance  commensurate  with  the  Company’s  needs.  To the  extent that  they  are appropriate and  applicable the  Company  has 

adopted  the  Principles  of  Good  Corporate  Governance  Recommendations  (“Recommendations”)  as  published  by  the  ASX 

Corporate  Governance  Council.  As  the  Company’s  activities  develop  in  size,  nature  and  scope,  the  Board  will  consider  on  an 

ongoing  basis  its  corporate  governance  structures  and  whether  they  are  sufficient  given  the  Company’s  size  and  nature  of 

operations. 

This Corporate Governance Statement is current as at 24 February 2021 and has been approved by the Board. A description of the 

Group’s corporate governance practices are set out below. Where changes have occurred during the 2020 year the dates of these 

changes are  shown. These  corporate governance  practices  have  been  in  place  since  the  Company  was listed  on the  ASX  on 29 

August 2011. Copies of the corporate governance documents mentioned in this statement are available on the Company’s website.

Principle 2: Structure of the Board 

Composition of the Board 

The  names  of  the Company’s  Directors in  office at the  date of this report,  specifying  which  are independent,  are  set out  in  the 
Directors’ report. At the date of this report, the Board consists of four Non-Executive Directors and one Non-Executive Chairman.  
The composition of the Board is determined in accordance with the following principles outlined in the Board Charter: 
• 

a minimum of three Directors;  

• 
• 

the intention that as the Group develops the majority of Directors will be independent; and 

the requirement for the Board is to undertake an annual performance evaluation and consider the appropriate mix of skills 
required by the Board to maximise its effectiveness and its contribution to the Group. 

The Board considers the mix of skills and diversity of Board members when assessing the composition of the Board.   

At  the  date of this  report the  Board meets  the  Good  Corporate  Governance  Recommendations in  that  the majority  of  Directors 
should be independent. Currently three of the five Directors are independent: Craig Wiggill, David Swan and Owen Hegarty.  

Given the developmental nature of the Company and the experience of the Directors, the Board considers the composition of the 
Board to be appropriate at this time. In due course, consideration will be given to increasing the number of independent Directors 
on the Board. 

Board Skills 

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for developing and implementing processes to identify and assess 
necessary and desirable competencies and characteristics for Board members. 

The Board considers that collectively the Directors have the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to direct the Company as 
outlined in the following Skills Matrix.

Corporate Governance and regulatory 

Project development and construction 

Stakeholder communication and engagement 

Safety, environment and social responsibility 

Director Independence 

The  Board  has  adopted  specific  principles  in  relation  to  Directors’  independence.  These  state  that  when  determining 
independence, a Director must be non-executive and the Board should consider whether the Director: 
• 

is  a  substantial  shareholder  of  the  Company  or  an  officer  of,  or  otherwise  associated  directly  with,  a  substantial 
shareholder of the Company; 

• 

• 

• 

• 

is or has been employed in an executive capacity by the Company of any other Group member, within three years before 
commencing to serve on the Board; 

within the last three years has been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Company 
or any other Group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; 

is a material supplier or customer of the Company or any other Group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated 
directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; and 

has a material contractual relationship with the Company or other Group member other than a Director of the Company. 

Family  ties  and  cross-directorships  may  be  relevant  in  considering  interests  and  relationships  which  may  compromise 
independence and should be disclosed by Directors to the Board.

The Board regularly reviews the independence of each Director in light of interests disclosed and will disclose any change to the 
ASX, as required by the ASX Listing Rules. 

Independent Professional Advice 

All Directors may obtain independent professional advice, at the Company’s cost, in carrying out their duties and responsibilities.  
Prior approval from the Chairman or the Board is required before seeking independent professional advice. 

Chairman 

The  Board  elects  one  of  its  Non-Executive  Directors  to  be  the  Chairman.  The  Chairman  is  responsible  for  leading  the  Board, 
ensuring Directors are properly briefed in all matters relevant to their role and responsibilities, facilitating Board discussions and 
managing the Board’s relationship with the Company’s senior executives. The Recommendations note that the Chairman should 
be an independent Director. The current Chairman, Mr Craig Wiggill satisfies the independence recommendation. The role of the 
Chairman is separate from that of the CEO. The CEO is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies. 

Orientation Program 

The orientation program provided to new Directors and senior executives enables them to actively participate in Board decision 
making as soon as possible. It ensures that they have a full understanding of the Group’s financial position, strategies operations, 
culture,  values  and  risk management  policies.  Directors  have the opportunity to  visit the  Group’s  business  operations  and meet 
with  management  to  gain  a  better  understanding  of  the  Group’s  operations.  The  Group  also  supports  Directors  to  undertake 
continuing education relevant to the discharge of their obligations as Directors of the Group. 

Nomination and Remuneration Committee 

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee consists of three Non-Executive Directors and the Chairman, who is independent. 
The Committee has a documented charter, approved by the Board which is available on the Company’s website. Details of the 
qualifications of members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and their attendance at meetings of the Committee are 
set out in the Directors’ Report. The Chairman of the Committee is Mr David Swan. 

The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  operates  in  accordance  with  its  charter,  and  the  main  responsibilities  of  the 
nomination activities of the Committee are to: 
• 

review and make recommendations to the Board relating to the remuneration of the Directors and the CEO;

assess the necessary and desirable competencies of Board members;

consider  strategies  to  address  Board  diversity  and  the  Company’s  performance  in  respect  of  the  Company’s  Diversity 
Policy. 

The  Committee  is  also  responsible  for  considering  and  articulating  the  time  needed  to  fulfil  the  role  of  Chairman  and  Non-
Executive Directors.   

A performance evaluation of the Board, its committees and the Directors was completed for 2020. The outcomes of the evaluation 
were discussed and considered by all the Directors and specific performance goals were agreed upon for the coming year. 

Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making 

Code of Conduct 

The Company has developed a Code of  Conduct which has been endorsed by the Board and applies to all Directors, employees

Whistleblowers’ Policy 

The Company’s Whistleblowers’ Policy encourages employees and contractors to report concerns in relation to illegal, unethical 
or improper conduct without fear of reprisal if it is reported in good faith. The Company commits to absolute confidentiality and 
fairness in all matters raised. 

Securities Trading 

Directors and employees are allowed to  purchase and sell shares in the Group provided they comply with the provisions of the 
Group’s  Securities  Trading  Policy.  The  trading  policy  prohibits  Directors  and  employees  and  their  associates  from  trading  in 
Group securities when they are in possession of price sensitive information which is not publicly available or during “blackout” 
periods. 

Directors and restricted employees must seek prior written approval before undertaking any trading in Company securities. The 
Directors  and  employees  must  also  advise  the  Company  Secretary  if  they  intend  to  enter  into,  or  have  entered  into,  a  margin 
lending  or  other  security  arrangement  affecting  Company  securities.  The  Company  Secretary  will  advise  the  ASX  of  any 
transactions  conducted  by  Directors  in  relation  to  the  Company  securities.  A  register  of  interests  is  maintained  which  record 
security holdings in the Company by Directors and employees.  

Workplace Diversity 

The Board is committed to having an appropriate blend of diversity on the Board, and in the Group’s senior executive positions.  
The  Group  values diversity  and  recognises the  benefits it  can bring to the  Group’s ability to achieve its  goals.  The  Group  has 
adopted  a  diversity  policy  which  outlines  the  Group’s  diversity  objectives  in  relation  to  gender,  age,  cultural  background  and 
ethnicity.  The  Group  has  not  established  specific  measurable  gender  and  diversity  objectives  due  to  the  start-up  nature  of  its 
situation  in the  exploration  and  development  of  coking  coal  projects.  However,  the  Group remains committed  to recruiting the 
best candidates for roles at all levels within the Group at every operation. As at 31 December 2020, women comprised 15% (31 
December 2019: 17%) of employees throughout the Group. There are currently no female members of the Board. 

Copies of the Code of Conduct, Whistleblowers’ Policy, the Diversity Policy and the Securities Trading Policy are available on 
the Company’s website.

independent,  including  the  Chairman.  The  membership  of  the  Committee  meets  the  Good  Corporate  Governance 
Recommendations in  that  the  Committee consists  of  a majority  of independent  Directors.  Given the  size  of the  Group  and  the 
Board, and straight forward structure of the Group, the Directors consider that the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee is of 
sufficient size, independence and technical expertise to discharge its mandate effectively.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk 

The  Board  is  responsible  for  satisfying  itself  that  management  has  developed  and  implemented  a  sound  system  for  risk 
management  and  internal  control.  The  Board  regards  managing  the  risks  that  affect  the  Group’s  businesses  as  a  fundamental 
activity, as they influence the Group’s performance, reputation and success. Detailed work on the management of risk is delegated 
to  the  Audit,  Risk  and  Compliance  Committee  and  reviewed  by  the  Board.  The  Committee  recommends  any  actions  it  deems 
necessary to the Board for its consideration. 

The Committee is responsible for ensuring that there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal 
control  systems.  The  Committee  monitors  the  Company’s  risk  management  by  overseeing  management’s  actions  in  the 
evaluation, management, monitoring and reporting of material operational, corporate, compliance and strategic risks. The Board 
and the Committee receive regular reports from management on the effectiveness of the Group’s management of material business 
risks.  The Company has adopted a Risk Management Policy which is available on the Company’s website. 

In  relation  to  risk  management  the  Committee  regularly  reviews  the  adequacy  and  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  risk 
management  framework  including  assessment  of  any  material  exposure  to  economic,  environmental  and  social  sustainability 
risks, how it manages or intends to manage and plans for managing each identified risk. It also reviews the processes it employs 
for evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control processes.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 31 December 2020 

1. 

Reporting entity 

Tigers  Realm  Coal  Limited  (the  “Company”  or  “TIG”)  is  a  company  domiciled  in  Australia.  During  the  year  ended  31 
December 2020, the Company’s registered office was 151 Wellington Parade South, East Melbourne, 3002, Australia  and its 
principal  office  during  the  period  to  28  June  2020  was  29  1st  Brestskaya  Street,  Moscow,  125407,  Russian  Federation  and 
starting  from  29  June  2020:  12A  Aviakonstruktora  Mikoyana,  Moscow,  125167,  Russian  Federation.  The  consolidated 
financial  statements  as  at  and  for  the  year  ended  31  December  2020  comprise  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  (together 
referred  to  as  the  “Group”).  The  Group  is  a  for-profit  entity  and  primarily  is  involved  in  coal  exploration  and  evaluation, 
mining, port and sales activities. 

2. 

(a) 

Basis of preparation  

Statement of compliance 

These consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  (AASB)  and  the 
Corporations  Act  2001.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards 
(IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).   

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 24th February 2021. 

(b) 

Basis of preparation 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments 
which are carried at fair value and share based payment expenses which are recognised at fair value. Historical cost is based on 
the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between 
market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another 
valuation technique. Further details on how the Group estimates fair values of an asset or a liability are included in Note 5.  

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, 
dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in these consolidated financial statements 
have been presented in Australian dollars and rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. 

(c) 

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, requires management to make judgements, 
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 
The  estimates  and  associated  assumptions  are  based  on  historical  experience  and  other  factors  that  are  considered  to  be 
relevant. 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. 

Information about assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and 
estimation  uncertainties  that  have a significant  risk  of  resulting in  a material  adjustment  within  the  next  financial period are 
described in the following notes:

Note 3   –   Going concern basis of accounting 
Note 9   –  Carrying value of non-current assets 
Note 22 –   Royalty liability 

3. 

Significant accounting policies  

The accounting policies set out below and in the related notes, have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these 
consolidated financial statements and consistently throughout the Group. 

(a) 

Going concern basis of accounting 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  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. 

For  the  year  ended  31  December  2020,  the  Group  incurred  a  net  loss  of  A$15.642  million  (2019:  a  net  loss  of  A$18.828 
million)  and  had  net  cash  outflows  from  operating  activities  of  A$11.304  million  (2019:  net  cash  outflows  from  operating 
activities of A$20.069 million).  

The notes on pages 49 to 90 are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(a) 

Going concern basis of accounting 

As at 31 December 2020, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of A$18.879 million (31 December 2019: A$4.716 million) 
and net current assets of A$39.281 million (31 December 2019 net current liabilities of A$7.811 million). As of 31 December 
2020, the Company has no unused, available credit lines (31 December 2019: Nil). 

During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Directors and management have taken the following steps to ensure the Group 
has sufficient funding to meet its operating and capital expenditures as they fall due: 

•  On 16 December 2020, TIG launched a fully underwritten 1 for 1.4 pro – rata accelerated renounceable entitlement 
offer at a price of A$0.008 per share to raise up to A$43.512 million. The institutional entitlement offer closed on 17 
December 2020 raising gross proceeds of A$17.151 million with the Company’s largest shareholder Dr. Bruce Gray 
taking up his full entitlement.  As disclosed in Note 35 the entitlement offer closed on 14 January 2021. In total the 
Group raised A$43.512 million. 

• 

In  October  2020,  TIG  signed  a  GBP  5.5  million  (A$10 million) contract  for supply  of  a modular  CHPP  with  UK 
based  Derek  Parnaby  Cyclones  International Limited.  Fabrication  and  works  under the contract  are  proceeding  on 
schedule for delivery to Beringovsky in June 2021. Detailed engineering works and preparation for civil construction 
are  well  underway.  The  construction  of  the  CHPP  should  enable the  Company  to  sell  a  higher-value product  of  a 
consistent quality into the SHCC markets. This SHCC product should achieve significantly higher prices than those 
currently being achieved for the unwashed coal products being sold into thermal and semi-soft coking coal markets. 

•  On  5  June  2020,  a  shortfall  bookbuild  of  1.3  billion  shares  at  A$0.01  per  share  was  approved  by  the  Group’s 

shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. As a result, the Group had received A$13.039 million. 

•  During  2020,  the  Group  has  significantly  improved  its  loading  capacity  and  efficiency  of  its  port  operations 
efficiency:  the  Group  loaded  760kt  by  its  own  barges  at  a  cost  significantly  lower  than  that  incurred  in  2019.  An 
average loading  rate  by TIG’s  barges  increased  from  3.3kt  per day  during the  2019  shipping season to  an average 
6.5kt per day during 2020 shipping season and the average cost of loading  decreased from A$16.19 to A$6.95 per 
tonne. 

Based on the Group’s cash flows forecasts, the Group will have a surplus of liquidity throughout the twelve-month period from 
the  date  of  signing  these  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  cash  flows  forecasts  are  dependent,  inter  alia,  upon  the 
successful implementation of the  forecast coal production, pit to port haulage, shipping and coal loading, sales and other key 
assumptions applied in determining the Group’s expected future cashflows, which include but are not limited to the following: 

•  Actual coal quality being consistent with that indicative quality identified in mine planning and testing performed to 
date and incorporated into the sales budget and commensurately actual coal prices achieved are at or in excess of 
those prices utilised in management forecasting; 

•  Actual mining and production levels being achieved and implemented within the expected cost levels, structure and 

timing; 

•  Coal shipments being realised within the forecast scheduling parameters, which are subject to a number of factors 

including but not limited to barge availability, transhipment efficiency and weather conditions; 

•  Compliance  with  ongoing  drilling  obligations  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Amaam  and  Amaam  North 

licences; and  

•  Macroeconomic  factors  including  the  commodity  (specifically  coal)  prices,  exchange  rates  and  the  financial 

markets;  

After  making  enquiries,  and  considering  the  uncertainties  described  above,  the  Directors  are  of  the  view  that  the  continued 
application of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate due to the following factors:  
• 

The  quality  of  coal  required  to  realise  the  volume  of  production  and  sales  contemplated  in  the  Group’s  forecasts  is 
sufficiently verified for its reasonableness by coal mining activities conducted to date. This, in conjunction with recent  
and  forecast  current  thermal  and  coking  coal  prices,  provides  management  with  a  reasonable  basis  to  conclude  that 
receipts from sales of coal will meet those expectations reflected in the cash flow forecasts; 
Commercial  mining  operations  continue  in  line  with  expectations.  With  the  exception  of  a  materially  adverse 
unforeseen event transpiring, there have been no indicators in the coal production process to date, which would suggest 
coal qualities and volumes and the cost of production would be materially different from those assumptions utilised in 
the cash flow forecasts;

(a) 

Going concern basis of accounting 

As at 31 December 2020, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of A$18.879 million (31 December 2019: A$4.716 million) 

and net current assets of A$39.281 million (31 December 2019 net current liabilities of A$7.811 million). As of 31 December

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 31 December 2020 

Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(a) 

Going concern basis of accounting (continued) 

• 

• 

Coal shipments have been forecast after consideration of actual historic port operating performance and those climactic 
and other conditions which would be reasonably expected to occur and influence the Group’s shipping capabilities; and 
Licence  Compliance  obligations  for  both  the  Amaam  and  Amaam  North  tenements  have  been  planned  for  and  are 
expected to be achieved with minimal risk of non-compliance with licence terms and conditions. There is, therefore, a 
reasonable expectation that the Group will continue to be compliant with licence drilling obligations. 

Accordingly, the Directors have determined that it is appropriate for the Group to continue to adopt the going concern basis in 
preparing these consolidated financial statements.  

 (b) 

Basis of consolidation 

(i) 

Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable 
returns  from  its  involvement  with  the  entity  and  has  the  ability  to  affect  those  returns  through  power  over  the  entity.  The 
financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group from the date that control 
commences until the date that control ceases.  

The  accounting  policies  of  subsidiaries  have  been  changed  when  necessary  to  align  them  with  the  policies  adopted  by  the 
Group.   Losses  applicable  to  the  non-controlling interests (NCI) in a  subsidiary are  allocated to the non-controlling interests 
even if doing so reduces the non-controlling interests below zero. 

All  intra-group  balances  and  transactions,  and  any  unrealised  gains  and  losses  arising  from  intra-group  transactions,  are 
eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. 

(ii) 

Business combinations 

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination 
is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, 
liabilities  incurred  by  the  Group  to  the  former  owners  of  the  acquiree  and  the  equity  instruments  issued  by  the  Group  in 
exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The Group measures 
goodwill at the acquisition date as: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus 
the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus 
if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less 
the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 

When the difference is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are 
generally recognised in the profit or loss. 

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present 
value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the Group’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a 
similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. 

Any  contingent  consideration  payable  is  recognised  at  fair  value  at  the  acquisition  date.  If  the  contingent  consideration  is 
classified as equity, it is not re-measured, settlement being accounted for in equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair 
value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. 

Subsequent to acquisition date, transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted 
for  as  transactions  with  equity  owners  of  the  Group.  Any  difference  between  the  amount  of  the  adjustment  to  the  non-
controlling interest and any consideration paid or received is recognised as a separate reserve within equity. 

The  assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities  recognised at  the acquisition  date  are recognised  at  fair  value.  In  determining 
fair  value,  the  consolidated  entity  has  utilised  valuation  methodologies  including  discounted  cash  flow  analysis.  The 
assumptions made in  performing this  valuation include  assumptions  as to  discount  rates, foreign  exchange rates,  commodity 
prices,  the  timing of  development,  capital costs,  and future operating  costs.  Any significant  change in  key assumptions  may 
cause the acquisition accounting to be revised including recognition of goodwill or a discount on acquisition. Additionally, the 
determination of the acquirer and the acquisition date also require significant judgements to be made by the Group.

Basis of consolidation 

(iii)  Non-controlling interests 

For each business combination, the Group elects to measure any NCI in the acquiree either: 

• 
• 

at fair value; or 
at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, which are generally at fair value. 

Changes in  the  Group’s interest in a subsidiary  that  do  not  result  in  a  loss  of  control are  accounted  for as  transactions  with 
owners  in  their  capacity  as  owners  and  are  recorded  in  an  equity  reserve  called  “Other  Reserve”.  Adjustments  to  non-
controlling interests are based on a proportionate amount of net assets of the subsidiary. No adjustments are made to goodwill 
and no gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.  

(iv) 

Loss of control 

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI 
and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former 
subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost 

(c)  

Foreign currency 

(i) 

Functional and presentation currency 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. Each 
entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and the items included in the financial statements of each entity are 
measured using that functional currency. 

(ii)  

Foreign currency transactions 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at 
the  dates  of  the  transactions.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  at  the  reporting  date  are 
retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.  

Non-monetary  assets and  liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that  are  measured at  fair  value  are retranslated  to the 
functional  currency  at  the  exchange  rate  at  the  date  that  the  fair  value  was  determined.  Non-monetary  items  in  a  foreign 
currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.   

Foreign currency differences arising on the retranslation are recognised in profit or loss. 

(iii) 

Foreign operations 

For the purpose of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including 
goodwill and  fair  value  adjustments  arising  on  acquisition, are translated to  the  Company’s functional  currency at  exchange 
rates  at  the  reporting  date.  The  income  and  expenses  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  to  Australian  dollars  at  average 
exchange  rates  for  the  period,  unless  exchange  rates  fluctuated  significantly  during  that  period,  in  which  case  the  exchange 
rates at the dates of the transactions are used.  

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the foreign currency translation 
reserve  in  equity.  However,  if  the  operation  is  a  non-wholly-owned  subsidiary,  then  the  relevant  proportional  share  of  the 
translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control is 
lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of 
the  gain  or  loss  on  disposal.  When  the  Group  disposes  of  only  part  of  its  interest  in  a  subsidiary  that  includes  a  foreign 
operation while retaining control, the relevant portion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests.   

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the 
foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net 
investment  in  a  foreign  operation  and  are  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  and  are  presented  in  the  translation 
reserve in equity.

Non-monetary  assets and  liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that  are  measured at  fair  value  are retranslated  to the 

functional  currency  at  the  exchange  rate  at  the  date  that  the  fair  value  was  determined.  Non-monetary  items  in  a  foreign 

currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.   

Foreign currency differences arising on the retranslation are recognised in profit or loss. 

(iii)

exchange  rates  for  the  period,  unless  exchange  rates  fluctuated  significantly  during  that  period,  in  which  case  the  exchange 

rates at the dates of the transactions are used.

reserve  in  equity.  However,  if  the  operation  is  a  non-wholly-owned  subsidiary,  then  the  relevant  proportional  share  of  the

(d) 

Financial instruments 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position when the Group becomes 
a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.  

Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value,  except  for  trade  receivables  that  do  not  have  a 
significant financing component which are measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the 
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value 
through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, 
on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair 
value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss 

(i) 

Financial assets 

All  regular  way  purchases  or  sales  of  financial  assets  are  recognised  and  derecognised  on  a  trade  date  basis.  Regular  way 
purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by 
regulation or convention in the marketplace. All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either 
amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.  

The Group has the following financial assets:   

• 

Trade and other receivables. 
Trade and other receivables are financial assets held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets 
in order to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to 
cash  flows  that  are  solely  payments  of  principal  and  interest  on  the  principal  amount  outstanding.  Trade  and  other 
receivables are measured subsequently at amortised cost. Refer to Note 14 for details of trade and other receivables.  

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less 
from the acquisition date that are subject to insignificant risk of changes in their fair value and are used by the Group in 
the management of its short-term commitments. 

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the 
rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in transactions in which substantially all the risks and rewards 
of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the 
Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability. 

(ii) 

Financial liabilities 

All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through 
profit or loss. The Group has the following financial liabilities:  

• 

• 

Trade and other payables 
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the 
end of the reporting period and are stated at amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 
days of recognition. 

Leases 
Leases to be paid in accordance with a payment schedule based on the contractual agreements.  

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have 
expired.  The  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  of  the  financial  liability  derecognised  and  the  consideration  paid  and 
payable is recognised in profit or loss. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, 
the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the 
liability simultaneously.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as 
a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

(i) 

Intangible assets  

Mineral Rights 

Acquired mineral rights comprise identifiable exploration and evaluation assets including mineral reserves acquired as part of a 
business combination and are recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition. The mineral rights will be reclassified as mine 
property and development from commencement of development and amortised when commercial production commences on a 
unit of production basis over the estimated economic reserve of the mine. 

The  mineral  rights  are  subject  to  impairment  testing  in  accordance  with  the  Group’s  policy  for  exploration,  evaluation  and 
development assets. In the year ended 31 December 2015, all existing mineral rights were written-off. Details of the policy on 
assessing the carrying value of non-current assets are disclosed in Note 9. 

(ii) 

Goodwill 

Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. For the measurement of goodwill at 
initial recognition refer Note 3(b)(ii) (business combinations). 

Goodwill  is  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses.  Goodwill  is  not  amortised,  however  its  carrying  value  is 
assessed annually against its recoverable amount, as explained below in Note 3(g) Impairment. Gains and losses on the disposal 
of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units 
for the purpose of impairment testing. In the year ended 31 December 2015, all existing goodwill was written-off. Details of the 
policy on assessing the carrying value of non-current assets are disclosed in Note 9. 

(iii)   Other intangible assets 

Other  intangible  assets  that  are  acquired  by  the  Group  and  have  finite  useful  lives  are  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated 
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. 

(iv) 

Subsequent expenditure 

Subsequent  expenditure  is  capitalised  only  when  it  increases  the future  economic  benefits  embodied  in  the  specific  asset  to 
which it relates. All other expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 

(v) 

Amortisation 

Except  for  goodwill  and  mineral  rights,  intangible  assets  are  amortised  on  a  straight-line  basis  in  profit  or  loss  over  the 
estimated useful lives, from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful life for computer software is three to five 
years. 

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. 

(g) 

Impairment of financial assets (including receivables) 

The  Group  recognises  a  loss  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  on  investments  in  debt  instruments  that  are  measured  at 
amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, trade receivables, as well as contract assets. The amount of 
expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective 
financial instrument. 

The  Group  always  recognises  lifetime  expected  credit  losses  (ECL)  for  trade  receivables  and  contract  assets.  The  expected 
credit  losses  on  these  financial  assets  are  estimated  using  a  provision  matrix  based  on  the  Group’s  historical  credit  loss 
experience,  adjusted  for  factors  that  are  specific  to  the  debtors,  general  economic  conditions  and  an  assessment  of  both  the 
current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate. 

For all other financial instruments, the Group recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk 
since  initial  recognition.  However,  if  the  credit  risk  on  the  financial  instrument  has  not  increased  significantly  since  initial 
recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL. Lifetime 
ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial 
instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a 
financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(g) 

Impairment of financial assets (including receivables) (continued) 

The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of 
the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is 
based  on  historical  data  adjusted  by  forward-looking  information  as  described  above.  As  for  the  exposure  at  default,  for 
financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date. For financial assets, the expected 
credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the 
contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate. 

If the  Group  has measured the  loss allowance for a  financial instrument at  an  amount  equal  to  lifetime  ECL in  the  previous 
reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Group 
measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets for which the 
simplified approach was used. The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments 
with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account. 

(h) 

Provisions 

A  provision is  recognised if,  as  a result  of a  past  event, the  Group  has  a present legal  or  constructive obligation that  can  be 
estimated  reliably,  and  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  economic  benefits  will  be  required  to  settle  the  obligation.  The 
probability of an  outflow  of  economic  benefits is one of the  key criteria  in  determining the  recognition  and measurement  of 
legal and constructive obligations:  

• 

• 

• 

If the likelihood of an outflow of economic resources is remote, neither disclosure of a contingency nor the 
recognition of a provision is made; 
If the likelihood of an outflow of economic resources is possible, a contingent liability is disclosed in the financial 
statements, unless the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in Note 3(b)(ii) are applied and a 
liability equivalent to the fair value of the future outflows of economic benefits is able to be determined; or 
If the likelihood of an outflow of economic resources is probable, a provision is recognised. 

Provisions are determined by assessing the present value of the expected future outflow of economic benefits. The discounting 
of the expected  (probable) future cash flows reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the time 
value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance charge. 

(i)  

Leases  

For  short-term  leases  (defined  as  leases  with  a  lease  term  of  12  months  or  less)  and  leases  of  low  value  assets,  the  Group 
recognises  the  lease  payments  as  an  operating  expense  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  term  of  the  lease  unless  another 
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. 

(j) 

Exploration and evaluation costs 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure comprises costs directly attributable to: 

• 

• 

• 

• 
• 

Research and analysing exploration data; 

Conducting geological studies, exploratory drilling and sampling; 

Examining and testing extraction and treatment methods; 

Compiling pre-feasibility and definitive feasibility studies; and 

Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licences.  

For both Amaam and Amaam North areas of interest, exploration and evaluation expenditure is charged against profit and loss 
as incurred, except for expenditure incurred after a decision to proceed to development is made, in which case the expenditure 
is capitalised as an asset.

Determination of fair values 

A  number of the  Group’s accounting  policies  and  disclosures require  the  determination  of fair  value  for financial  assets and 
liabilities.   

When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are 
categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used in valuation techniques as follows: 

• 
• 

• 

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). 
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). 

If  the  inputs  used  to  measure  the fair value of an  asset or liability  might  be  categorised in different levels  of the fair  value 
hierarchy,  then  the  fair  value  measurement  is  categorised  in  its  entirety  in  the  same  level  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy  as  the 
lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. 

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the 
change occurred. 

(a) 

Financial assets and liabilities  

Fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of 
interest at the reporting date. Fair value is determined at initial recognition and, for financial assets and financial liabilities that 
are not measured at fair value, but for which fair value disclosures are required, at each annual reporting date. 

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Note 25.

Determination of fair values 

liabilities.   

A  number of the  Group’s accounting  policies  and  disclosures require  the  determination  of fair  value  for financial  assets and 

When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are 

categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used in valuation techniques as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 

(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). 

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). 

If  the  inputs  used  to  measure  the fair value of an  asset or liability  might  be  categorised in different levels  of the fair  value 

hierarchy,  then  the  fair  value  measurement  is  categorised  in  its  entirety  in  the  same  level  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy  as  the 

lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. 

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the 

change occurred. 

(a) 

Financial assets and liabilities  

Fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of 

interest at the reporting date. Fair value is determined at initial recognition and, for financial assets and financial liabilities that 

are not measured at fair value, but for which fair value disclosures are required, at each annual reporting date. 

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Note 25.

Segment reporting 

The  Group  has  two  reportable  segments,  as  described  below,  which  are  the  Group’s  main  mineral  mining  and  exploration 
projects.    The  Group  has  identified  these  segments  based  on  the  internal  reports  used  and  reviewed  by  the  Group’s  Chief 
Executive Officer (the Chief Operating Decision Maker), in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. 

The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments internally are the same as the Group accounting policies. For 
the  year  ended  31  December  2020,  the  activities  of  the  Group  are  managed  in  two  reportable  operating  segments  outlined 
below, consistent with how they were managed in the prior periods:  

Amaam North Project 

Amaam Project 

Other 

The  Amaam  North  Project  is  located  in  the  Bering  Basin  in  the  Chukotka 
province,  Russia  and  consists  of the  Amaam  North  tenement.  The  Project also 
includes  infrastructure  assets  associated  with  the  Beringovsky  Port  and  Coal 
Terminal. 

The Amaam Project is in the Bering Basin in the Chukotka province, Russia and 
consists of the Amaam tenement. 

Consists  of  corporate  and  office  expenses  primarily  incurred  at  the  Group’s 
Moscow and Melbourne offices. This is not a reportable segment. 

Management  monitors  the  expenditure  outlays  of  each  segment  for  the  purpose  of  cost  control  and  making  decisions  about 
resource  allocation.  The  Group’s  administration  and  financing  functions  are  managed  on  a  group  basis  and  are  included  in 
“Other”, which is not a reportable segment.

7. 

Revenue (continued)  

Revenue from the sale of coal is recognised when all the following conditions have been satisfied: 

(a) the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other customary business practices) and 
are committed to perform their respective obligations;  
(b) the Company can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred;  
(c) the Company can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred;  
(d) the contract has commercial substance (ie the risk, timing or amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change as a result of 
the contract); and  

(e) it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will 

be transferred to the customer. In evaluating whether collectability of an amount of consideration is probable, the Company considers only 

the customer’s ability and intention to pay that amount of consideration when it is due. The amount of consideration to which the Company 

will be entitled may be less than the price stated in the contract if the consideration is variable because a price concession may be offer ed to 

the customer. 

Revenue  is  recognised  when  (or  as)  the  Company  satisfies  a  performance  obligation  by  transferring  a  promised  good  or  service  to  a 
customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset.  

Revenue  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  or  receivable,  reflecting  contractually  defined  terms  of payment  and 

excluding taxes, levies or duties collected on behalf of the government/ other statutory bodies. 

Coal products are sold in accordance with internationally recognised shipping terms (INCO), primarily on either free on board (“FOB”), 

Beringovsky Port or cost and freight (“CFR”) terms.  For sales made on FOB basis there is only one performance obligation, which arise 

from the delivery of coal on board the vessel. Sales made in accordance with CFR terms differ to FOB as the Company is obliged to pay for 

the  cost  of  shipping  and  other  costs  necessary  to  bring  the  product  to  the  destination  port.  Accordingly,  in  CFR  sales  contracts  the 

performance obligations arise from the delivery of coal on board the vessel and the provision of shipping services to the customer. For sales 

are made on both FOB and CFR basis, the satisfaction of the performance obligation in respect of coal delivery is achieved after the time the 

goods have been delivered on board the vessel. Satisfaction of the performance obligation in respect of coal shipping is achieved at the point 

of delivery on shore at the destination port.  

Preliminary volume and quality of coal shipped are independently measured upon loading the vessel at the Beringovsky Port. Coal sales 

contracts include terms in accordance with which the sales price is defined with reference to the initial coal quality parameters, as adjusted 

for the results of coal quality tests performed upon delivery of the product to the destination port. If coal does not meet minimum standards, 

the shipment may be either rejected or an adjustment made up or down to the initial contract price. Accordingly, in rare circumstances, if the 

Company cannot objectively determine that the coal provided to the customer is in accordance with the agreed-upon specifications in the 

contract, the Company recognises revenue on coal sales only  when the coal quality tests at the destination port affirm both the mass and 

quality characteristics.

Carrying value of non-current assets  

Amaam North Project CGU 

During  the  year  ended  31  December  2020,  the  carrying  value  of  non-current  assets  of  Amaam  North  Project  CGU,  net  of 
accumulated  depreciation,  decreased by  A$8.555  million  to  A$32.545 million  (As  of 31  December  2019  A$41.100 million) 
(refer to Note 16 for details). 
As at 31 December 2020, the Group concluded that due to: 

• 

• 

Production and sales volumes achieved to date; and  

Progress in the development of the CHPP project during 2020 

There  is  no  necessity  to  recognise  further  impairment  losses  for  the  Amaam  North  Project  CGU  and  accordingly  the  non-
current assets are measured at their carrying value. 

Management also believes that at this stage of Amaam North’s development, until both production and sales levels and related 
financial performance assumptions currently included in deriving the Amaam North CGU’s positive recoverable amount, are 
verified by sufficient observable indications of the ability to achieve these assumptions on an ongoing basis, there is no current 
necessity for the reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior periods. 

Amaam Project CGU 

During the year ended 31 December 2020, there were minimal activities undertaken at the Amaam Project CGU, there being no 
additions to the carrying value of non-current assets, their carrying value remaining at $Nil as at 31 December 2020. As the 
development of the Amaam Project is not expected in the foreseeable future, as at  31 December 2020, the Group concluded 
that there are no indications that asset write-downs recognised in prior periods for the Amaam Project CGU require reversal. 

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets excluding goodwill are reviewed at each reporting date to determine 
whether there is any indication of impairment.  If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For 
goodwill the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.   

Recognition and measurement: Non-current assets 

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In 
assessing  value  in  use,  the  estimated  future  cash flows are  discounted  to  their present  value  using  a pre-tax  discount rate  that 
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment 
testing,  assets  are  grouped  together  into the smallest  groups of  assets  that generate  cash  inflows  from  continuing use that  are 
largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). The goodwill acquired in 
a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit 
from the synergies of the combination. 

An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  if  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.  Impairment  losses 
recognised  in respect  of  cash-generating units  are allocated  first  to  reduce  the  carrying  value  of  any goodwill  allocated  to  the 
cash generating units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the cash generating unit (group of units) on a 
pro rata basis. 

An  impairment  loss  in  respect  of  goodwill  is  not  reversed.    In  respect  of  other  assets,  impairment  losses  recognised  in  prior 
periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss 
is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. 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 
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

During  the  year  ended  31  December  2020,  the  carrying  value  of  non-current  assets  of  Amaam  North  Project  CGU,  net  of 

accumulated  depreciation,  decreased by  A$8.555  million  to  A$32.545 million  (As  of 31  December  2019  A$41.100 million)

whether there is any indication of impairment.  If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For 

goodwill the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.   

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In

An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  if  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.  Impairment  losses 

recognised  in respect  of  cash-generating units  are allocated  first  to  reduce  the  carrying  value  of  any goodwill  allocated  to  the 

cash generating units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the cash generating unit (group of units) on a 

pro rata basis. 

An  impairment  loss  in  respect  of  goodwill  is  not  reversed.    In  respect  of  other  assets,  impairment  losses  recognised  in  prior 

periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss 

is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. 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 

depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Net deferred tax assets not recognised in respect of tax losses 

27,120 

26,868 

As at  31  December  2020  and  2019,  no deferred tax assets  have  been  recognised for carried forward tax losses  as it is  not 
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits. 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.  Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the 
extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity, or in comprehensive income. 

Recognition and measurement: Income taxes 

Current tax 

Current  tax  is  the  expected  tax  payable  on  the  taxable  income  or  loss  for  the  year,  using  tax  rates  enacted  or  substantively 
enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Income tax expense (continued) 

Deferred tax 

Recognition and measurement: Income taxes (continued) 

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.   

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the 
end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. 

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on 
the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there 
is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  offset  current  tax  liabilities  and  assets  and  they  relate  to  income  taxes  levied  by  the  same  tax 
authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net 
basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. 

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.  Deferred tax assets are 
reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and  are  reduced  to  the  extent  that  it  is  no  longer  probable  that  the  related  tax  benefit  will  be 
realised.  

Tax exposure 

In  determining  the  amount  of  current  and  deferred  tax,  the  Group  takes  into  account  the  impact  of  uncertain  tax  positions  and 
whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open 
tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies 
on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available 
that causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will 
impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made. 

Tax consolidation 

The  Company  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  resident  entity  are  part  of  a  tax  consolidated  group.    As  a  consequence,  all 

members of the tax consolidated group are taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax consolidated group is Tigers 

Realm Coal Limited.  

The tax losses incurred in Australia do not expire under current tax legislation. In overseas jurisdictions, tax losses can be carried 
forward for varying periods.

Basic loss per share 

(a) 
The calculation of basic loss per share at 31 December 2020 was based on the loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the 
Company of A$15.616 million (At 31 December 2019: loss of A$18.715 million) and a weighted average number of ordinary 
shares  outstanding  during  the  period  ended  31  December  2020  of  6,967,457,740  (For  the  year  ended  31  December  2019: 
1,791,669,870).  

Diluted loss per share 

(b) 
The calculation of diluted loss per share at 31 December 2020 and 2019 is the same as basic loss per share. As at 31 December 
2020, the Company had  9,907,000 outstanding options over ordinary shares (31 December 2019: 28,346,000 options), which 
have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive for the reporting period.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 31 December 2020 

16. 

Property, plant and equipment (continued) 

During the year ended 31 December 2020, CAT D10 bulldozer with a carrying value of RUB 11.598 million (A$0.254 million) 
was  written-off  due  to  its  present  condition  (2019:  three  Scania  haulage  trucks  with  a  carrying  value  of  RUB  11.743  million 
(A$0.460 million) were written-off).  

As  disclosed  in  Note  20,  the  Group  leases  various  mining  and  port  equipment.  The  carrying  value  of  these  assets  as  at  31 
December 2020 is RUB 626.045 million (A$11.076 million) (31 December 2019: RUB 858.425 million (A$19.844 million)). 

Recognition and measurement: Property, plant and equipment 

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment losses.  
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset.  

Once  an  undeveloped  mining  project  has  been  determined  as  commercially  viable  and  approval  to  mine  has  been  given, 

expenditure  other  than  that  on  land,  buildings,  fixtures  and  fittings,  plant  and  equipment  and  capital  work  in  progress  is 

capitalised under “Mine Infrastructure”. Development costs incurred after the commencement of production are capitalised to 

the extent they are expected to give rise to a future economic benefit. 

Subsequent costs  

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is 

probable  that  the  future economic  benefits  embodied  within  the  part will  flow  to  the  Group  and  its  cost  can  be  measured 

reliably.  The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant 

and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 

Depreciation  

Property,  plant  and  equipment  is depreciated  over the  lesser  of  its  useful  life  or  over  the  remaining  life of  the  mine  where 

there is no reasonable alternative use for the asset. The useful lives and residual values for material assets and categories of 

assets are reviewed annually and changes are reflected prospectively. Depreciation commences when an asset is available and 

ready  for  its  intended  use.  The  major  categories  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  depreciated  on  a  straight-line  basis, 

except for mining assets, which are depreciated on a units of production basis. 

Straight-line basis  

Assets  within operations for  which  production  is  not  expected  to  fluctuate  significantly  from  one year  to  another  or  which 

have a physical life shorter than the related mine are depreciated on a straight-line basis.  

The estimated useful lives are as follows: 

•

•

•

Buildings 

Plant & equipment 

Fixtures & fittings 

Units of production basis 

10 – 20 years 

3 – 10 years 

3 – 10 years 

For mining assets, consumption of the economic benefits of the asset is linked to production. These assets are depreciated on 

the  lesser  of  the  respective  assets’  useful  lives  and  the  life  of  the  ore  body  in  respect  of  which  the  assets  are  being  used. 

Where the useful life of the assets is greater than the life of the ore body for which they are being utilised, depreciation is 

determined  on  a  units of production basis.  In  applying  the  units of production  method,  depreciation  is  normally  calculated 

based on  production  in  the  period  as  a percentage  of  total  expected  production in  current  and  future  periods  based on  ore 

reserves and other mineral resources.

Stripping Costs 

Recognition and measurement: Property, plant and equipment (continued) 

In open pit mining operations, overburden and other waste materials must be removed to access ore from which minerals can be 

extracted economically. The process of removing overburden and waste materials is referred to as stripping. Stripping costs during 

the development of a mine (or pit), before production commences, are generally expensed as incurred except when capitalised as 

part  of  the cost of  construction  of  the  mine  (or pit) and  subsequently  amortised over  the life of  the  mine  (or  pit)  on  a  units  of 

production basis only where the below criteria are all met: 

•

•

•

it must be probable that there will be an economic benefit in a future accounting period because the stripping activity has 

improved access to the ore body;  

it must be possible to identify the “component” of the orebody for which access has been improved; and 

it must be possible to reliably measure the costs that relate to the stripping activity. 

Production  phase  stripping  can  give rise  to  two  benefits:  the  extraction  of  ore  in  the current period  and  improved  access  to  ore 

which will be extracted in future periods. When the cost of stripping which has a future benefit is not distinguishable from the cost 

of producing current inventories, the stripping cost is allocated to each of these activities based on a relevant production measure 

using a life-of-component strip ratio. The ratio divides the tonnage of waste mined for the component for the period either by the 

quantity of ore mined for the component or by the quantity of minerals contained in the ore mined for the component. Stripping 

costs for the component are deferred to the extent that the current period ratio exceeds the life of component ratio.

On 18 December 2019, the Group launched an entitlement offer. Both Dr Bruce Gray and BV Holding Limited agreed to take 
part in this entitlement offer, and in accordance with the terms of their respective loan agreements, elected to set-off outstanding 
principal and interest amounts against their obligations to pay for the shares received by fully taking up their Entitlements. On 2 
January 2020, following the issue of shares to BV Mining Holdings Limited, the loan payable to BV Mining Holdings Limited in 
the amount of A$14.776 million was settled in full. On 2 January 2020, A$13.138 million out of A$14.641 million loan payable 
to Dr Bruce Gray was settled, following the issuance of shares to Dr. Gray. On 4 February 2021, the balance of the outstanding 
loan payable and interest accrued thereon was settled in full.  

19.   Employee Benefits 

Recognition and measurement: Employee benefits 

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within twelve months of the 
reporting  date  represent  obligations  resulting  from  employee’s  services  provided  to  reporting  date  and  are  calculated  at 
undiscounted  amounts  based  on  remuneration  wage  and  salary  rates  that  the  Company  expects  to  pay  as  at  the  reporting  date, 
including related on-costs, such as workers’ compensation insurance and payroll tax. 

A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term incentive bonus plans if the Group has a present legal 
or  constructive  obligation  to  pay  this  amount  resulting  from  past  service  provided  by  the  employee,  and  the  obligation  can  be 
estimated reliably.

The Group leases directly from vendors, Russian banking institutions and Russian financing companies various mining and port 
equipment  with  a  carrying  amount  of  A$11.076  million  (31  December  2019:  A$19.844  million)  under  lease  arrangements 
expiring within one to four years.  

During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group executed a lease arrangement to finance the acquisition of a 100 –tonne 
barge.  The  right  of  use  asset  and,  the  lease  liability  upon  initial  recognition  was  A$0.319  million.  During,  the  year  ended  31 
December 2019, the Group executed a number of lease arrangements with equipment vendors, Russian banking institutions and 
Russian financing  companies for  the  acquisition  of various mining and  port  equipment.  The  additions  to  the  property, plant  & 
equipment under these arrangements were RUB 730.248 million (A$16.210 million).  

For  the  year  ended  31  December  2020  the  depreciation  charge  on  the  leased  equipment  amounted  to  A$5.010  million  (2019: 
A$3.735 million). 

As part of its liquidity management strategy, the Group restructured two of its lease arrangements by extending the lease term 
from four to five years and three of its lease arrangements by changing the lease payment schedule. As part of the restructuring 
procedure, equipment with carrying value of A$1.036 million was pledged. 

In  2019 the  Group recognised  right of use  of  assets and a  related  lease  liability in respect  of the  agreement  with  Rosmorport 
expiring in 2067 (included in other lease liabilities in the table below).

20.   Lease Liability (continued) 

Recognition and measurement: Leases 

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a right-of-
use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-
term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. The lease liability is 
initially  measured at  the  present  value  of  the  lease  payments that  are  not  paid  at  the  commencement  date,  discounted  by 
using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate  

The  lease  liability is  presented  as  a  separate  line in  the  consolidated statement  of  financial position.  The  lease  liability  is 
subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest 
method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made 

The  right-of-use  assets  comprise  the  initial  measurement  of  the  corresponding  lease  liability,  lease  payments  made  at  or 
before  the  commencement  day,  less  any  lease  incentives  received  and  any  initial  direct  costs.  They  are  subsequently 
measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the right-of-use asset. If a lease 
transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a 
purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation 
starts at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use assets are presented within property, plant and equipment line 
in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The Group entered into a number of royalty agreements as part of obtaining interests in the Amaam North and Amaam projects. 
These royalty agreements are dependent upon the performance of a number of conditions precedent, the realisation of which may 
result  in  royalty  payments  of  between  1.5  and  3%  of  the  coal  sales  revenue  by  the  Amaam  North  and  Amaam  projects, 
respectively. Total royalty payments in relation to the Amaam North Project is capped to US$25 million.  

Amaam North Royalty Liability 

Following the raising  of funds  and commencement of  coal  production  on  Project  F,  Amaam  North, the  Group concluded  it  is 
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle royalty obligations and accordingly 
a provision was required for the obligations under existing royalty agreements.

The Group entered into a number of royalty agreements as part of obtaining interests in the Amaam North and Amaam projects. 

These royalty agreements are dependent upon the performance of a number of conditions precedent, the realisation of which may 

result  in  royalty  payments  of  between  1.5  and  3%  of  the  coal  sales  revenue  by  the  Amaam  North  and  Amaam  projects, 

respectively. Total royalty payments in relation to the Amaam North Project is capped to US$25 million.  

Amaam North Royalty Liability 

Following the raising  of funds  and commencement of  coal  production  on  Project  F,  Amaam  North, the  Group concluded  it  is 

probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle royalty obligations and accordingly 

a provision was required for the obligations under existing royalty agreements. 

While the amount of provision recognised represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations under 
existing royalty agreements, this estimate is based on estimates of possible outcomes and financial effect, which were determined 
by  the  application of management’s judgement  on a  number of key assumptions  used in determining the  amount of provision, 
including: 
• 

the discount rate used; 

• 
• 

• 

the probability of revenue cash flows;  

timing of coal sales and 

the likelihood of achieving forecast coal sales prices. 

Amaam Royalty Liability 

No liability was recognised at 31 December 2020 (31 December 2019: Nil) in relation to Amaam Project royalty arrangements as 
the development of the Amaam Project is not expected in the foreseeable future. 

Recognition and measurement: Royalty liabilities 

The  Group,  from  time  to  time,  enters  into  legal  agreements  with  various  parties  as  a  result  of  which  there  will  be  future 
outflows  of  economic  benefits,  including  obligations  which  arise  from  the  execution  and  realisation  of  sales  agreements 
(“Royalty Agreement”).  

In  applying  the  recognition  and  measurement  criteria  outlined  above  in  respect  of  provisions  in  Note  3(h)  to  royalty 
agreements, management perform an assessment of the probability of the outflow of economic benefits, which it has deemed to 
be  influenced  by  the  following  factors  and  circumstances,  when  assessing  the  disclosure,  recognition  and  measurement  of 
Royalty Agreement obligations: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

Existence  of a  licence  which  provides  the  legal  capacity  to  mine  and  sell product  which  is  the  subject  of  Royalty 
Agreements; 
The  performance  of  a  feasibility  study  or  other  similar  project  assessment  which  provides  an  indication  of  the 
economic benefits accruing to the Group from implementing a project or part thereof, incorporating the consideration 
of macroeconomic factors and project specific assumptions on income and expenditures; 
General macroeconomic conditions (including but not limited to financial and commodity markets -specifically the 
market for coal); 
Economic  resources  are  in  place  which  enable  the  realisation  of  a  plan  to  extract  and  sell  ore,  as  defined  in  a 
feasibility  study  (as  amended  and  updated).  Economic  resources  include  both  financial,  human  &  other  resources 
necessary to realise strategic plans;  
Board  approval  to  commence  those  activities  necessary  to  develop  and  mine  ore  with  the  view  of  commencing 
commercial production; and 
Actual operations confirm those assumptions upon which the decision made to commence mining operations were 
made (including the ability to realise any sales agreements executed). 

As  noted  above,  where  the  likelihood of an  outflow  of economic  benefits is  deemed to be  remote, no disclosures are  made. 
Where possible, disclosure is made of a contingent liability and where probable a provision is recognised and measured.

In 2019, the Group entered into a sale and lease-back agreement with Universal Leasing Company for its two 500 tonne barges. 
As  the  Group  has  a  substantive  repurchase  option  with  respect  to  the  underlying  asset  under  these  agreements,  the  Group 
concluded these transactions represent, in substance, a financing arrangement. Accordingly, all amounts received from Universal 
Leasing Company were included in other financial liabilities.

Recognition and measurement: Sale and leaseback transactions 
The Group, from time to time, enters into legal agreements with various parties whereby it transfers an asset to another entity 
(the buyer-lessor) and leases that asset back.  

The Group applies the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in AASB 15 “Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers” to determine whether the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of that asset.  

If the transfer of an asset by the Group satisfies the requirements of AASB 15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset, then the 
Group measures the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset 
that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. The Group recognises the amount of any gain or loss that relates to 
the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor.  

If the transfer of an asset by the Group does not satisfy the requirements of AASB 15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset, 
the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset and recognises a financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds.

(iii)  Entitlement offer 

On 16 December 2020, the Group launched a fully underwritten 1 for 1.4 pro-rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer at a 
price  of  A$0.008  per  share  to  raise  up  to  A$43.512  million.  The  institutional  entitlement  offer  closed  on  17  December  2020 
raising  gross  proceeds  of  A$17.151  million  with  the  Company’s  largest  shareholder  Dr.  Bruce  Gray  taking  up  his  full 
entitlement. The retail component of the offer opened on  21 December 2020 and was completed on 4 January 2021. The retail 
offer raised A$3.684 million. On 11 January 2021 the arising Shortfall Bookbuild was completed. The Bookbuild process was 
managed  and  fully  underwritten  by  CLSA  Australia  Pty  Ltd  and  sub-underwritten  by  Dr.  Bruce  Gray.  Pursuant  to  his  sub-
underwriting  agreement,  2.7  billion  shares  were  issued  to  Dr.  Gray,  increasing  his  overall  shareholding  in  the  Company  to 
59.95%. In total the Group raised A$43.512 million. 

On 18 December 2019, the Group launched a 13 to 4 accelerated renounceable entitlement offer of ordinary shares at A$0.01 per 
share.  The  Group  raised  A$58.229  million  and  utilized  proceeds  to  settle  existing  shareholders’  loan  and  to  finance  planned 
capital expenditures and working capital. The entitlement offer closed on 5 February 2020, as a result of which the Group raised 
A$45.191 million. Entitlements not taken up by close of the entitlement offer were offered for sale in a Shortfall Bookbuild and 
the Group received a bid for the majority of the Shortfall Bookbuild from Hanate Pty Ltd, an entity associated with the Group’s 
director and substantial shareholder, Dr Bruce Gray. On 5 June 2020, a Shortfall Bookbuild of 1.3 billion shares at A$0.01 per 
share (A$13.038 million) was approved by TIG shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and on 24 June 2020 new shares 
were issued.

Description of share-based payment arrangements 

In  2010,  the  Company  established  the  Staff  Option  Plan  as  part  of  the  Group’s  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan  to  assist  in  the 
attraction,  motivation  and  retention  of  senior  executives  and  employees  and  to  encourage  their  personal  commitment  to  the 
Company. The plan forms a necessary part of the competitive packages offered by the Company in light of the markets in which 
it operates. The plan also creates an ownership mindset among participants and ensures business decisions and strategic planning 
has regard to the Company’s long-term performance and growth. There are a number of different performance hurdles, exercise 
prices  and  vesting  conditions  dependent  on  the  individual’s  position  held.  It  is  a  vesting  condition  that  the  holder  of  options 
remains an employee or director at the time of vesting. There have been no cancellations or modification to the Staff Option Plan 
since it was established in 2010. 

(b) 

Description of share-based payment arrangements 

The Staff Option Plan offers individuals the opportunity to acquire options over fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. Share 
options  granted  under  the  plan  for  no  consideration  and  carry  no  dividend  or  voting  rights.  When  exercised,  each  option  is 
convertible into one ordinary share subject to satisfying vesting conditions and performance criteria. The shares when issued rank 
pari  passu in  all respects  with  previously  issued  fully  paid  ordinary  shares.  Option holders  cannot  participate in  new issues  of 
capital which may be offered to shareholders prior to exercise. 

The fair value of these options is assessed at the grant date  using a Monte Carlo simulation model in accordance with AASB2 
Share-based Payments. The options vest and expire at dates set out in the terms of the grant. The options cannot be transferred 
and are not quoted on the ASX. 

(c) 

Summary of options granted under the Option Plan 

The  options  outstanding  at  31  December  2020  have  an  exercise  price  in  the  range  of  A$0.08  to  A$0.013  (2019:  A$0.08  to 
A$0.50).  The  weighted  average  remaining  contractual  life  for  options  outstanding  at  31  December  2020  is  1.8  years  (31

Inputs for the measurement of grant date fair values 

The grant date fair values of the options granted through the Staff Option Plan utilised assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes 
methodology to produce a Monte Carlo simulation model which allows for incorporation of the performance hurdles that must be 
met before the share-based  payment  vests to the  holder. Expected  volatility is  estimated  by  considering  historic  average share 
price volatility for those options issued since February 2013. Prior to that date, due to the lack of sufficient share price history 
(TIG  was  listed  on  29  August  2011)  the share  price  volatility  was  based  on  the historical volatility of  a group of  comparable 
companies,  based  on  their  principal  activities,  for  volatility  estimation  purposes.  The  expected  dividend  yield  used  in  the 
valuation process has been  nil. The early exercise provision has been measured using a sell multiple of two times the exercise 
price. The post-vesting withdrawal rate used in the valuation of the options is nil. The risk-free rate is derived from the yield on 
Australian Government Bonds of appropriate terms. 

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at the grant date of the options granted under the Staff Option Plan and 
outstanding at 31 December 2020 are outlined below:

Description of share-based payment arrangements 

In  2010,  the  Company  established  the  Staff  Option  Plan  as  part  of  the  Group’s  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan  to  assist  in  the 

attraction,  motivation  and  retention  of  senior  executives  and  employees  and  to  encourage  their  personal  commitment  to  the 

Company. The plan forms a necessary part of the competitive packages offered by the Company in light of the markets in which 

it operates. The plan also creates an ownership mindset among participants and ensures business decisions and strategic planning 

prices  and  vesting  conditions  dependent  on  the  individual’s  position  held.  It  is  a  vesting  condition  that  the  holder  of  options 

remains an employee or director at the time of vesting. There have been no cancellations or modification to the Staff Option Plan 

since it was established in 2010. 

(b) 

Description of share-based payment arrangements 

The Staff Option Plan offers individuals the opportunity to acquire options over fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. Share 

options  granted  under  the  plan  for  no  consideration  and  carry  no  dividend  or  voting  rights.  When  exercised,  each  option  is 

convertible into one ordinary share subject to satisfying vesting conditions and performance criteria. The shares when issued rank 

pari  passu in  all respects  with  previously  issued  fully  paid  ordinary  shares.  Option holders  cannot  participate in  new issues  of 

capital which may be offered to shareholders prior to exercise. 

The fair value of these options is assessed at the grant date  using a Monte Carlo simulation model in accordance with AASB2 

Share-based Payments. The options vest and expire at dates set out in the terms of the grant. The options cannot be transferred 

and are not quoted on the ASX. 

(c) 

Summary of options granted under the Option Plan 

The  options  outstanding  at  31  December  2020  have  an  exercise  price  in  the  range  of  A$0.08  to  A$0.013  (2019:  A$0.08  to 

A$0.50).  The  weighted  average  remaining  contractual  life  for  options  outstanding  at  31  December  2020  is  1.8  years  (31 

December 2019: 2.2 years). There were no options granted during the year ended 31 December 2020 (year ended 31 December 

2019:  Nil).  There are  9,907,000 vested  and  exercisable options  at  31  December  2020 (31  December  2019:  14,242,000).  There 

were no options exercised during the years ended 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019.

Equity-based compensation is recognised as an expense in respect of the services received. 

Recognition and measurement: Share based payments 

The fair value of options granted is recognised as an asset or expense with a corresponding increase in equity.  The fair 
value  is  measured at the  grant date  and  recognised over  the  period  during  which the  employees  became  unconditionally 
entitled  to  the options.   The  fair  value at  the  grant  date  is  independently  determined  using an  option  pricing  model  that 
takes into account the exercise price, the term of the options, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, 
the  non-tradable  nature  of  the  option,  the  share  price  at  grant  date  and  expected  volatility  of  the  underlying  share,  the 
expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

25.  Risk management and financial instruments 

(a) 

Risk management framework 

The  Board  of  Directors  has  overall responsibility for the establishment  and  oversight  of the  risk management framework. The 
Board has established the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee (ARCC), which is responsible for overseeing the development 
and monitoring the Group’s risk management policies by the Company. A Risk Committee consisting of senior management and 
staff report regularly  to the  ARCC. Significant  risks  which  cannot be  appropriately and  adequately mitigated are reported and 
reviewed by the Board of Directors. 

The Group has established a Risk Management Policy to provide a framework for the management of risk within the Group. The 
Group’s  risk management policies are established  to identify  and analyse the risks faced  by  the  Group, to  set  appropriate  risk 
limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. 

The Group has exposure to the following risks from its operations and use of financial instruments: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

Credit risk 

Liquidity risk 

Market risk 

Operational risk 

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for 
measuring  and  managing  risk,  and  the  management  of  capital.  Further  quantitative  disclosures  are  included  throughout  these 
consolidated financial statements.  

(i) 

Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual 
obligations and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers. 

(ii) 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’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, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage 
to the Group’s reputation.  

(iii)  Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and 
equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market 
risk  management  is  to  manage  and  control  market  risk  exposures  within  acceptable  parameters,  while  optimising  the 
return. For the Group currency risk arises from transactions in foreign currencies, predominantly US Dollars (USD), and 
Russian Roubles (RUB). For the Group interest rate risk arises from the exposure to Australian cash deposit rates relating 
to  cash  and  cash  equivalents.  For  the  Group  commodity  price  risk  affects  the  valuation  of  the  Royalty  Agreement 
Liability.  
(iv)  Operational risk 

Operational  risk  is the risk  of  direct  or  indirect loss  arising from a  wide  variety  of  causes  associated  with  the  Group’s 
processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure and from external factors other than credit, liquidity and market risks 
such  as those  arising from  legal  and  regulatory requirements and generally  accepted  standards of  corporate  behaviour. 
Operational risks arise from all of the Group’s operations.  

The Group’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial losses and damage to the 
Group’s reputation with overall cost effectiveness. The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of 
controls to address operational risk is assigned to the Group’s senior management. This responsibility is supported by the 
development of the Group Policies and Code of Conduct.

(b) 

Capital management 

The Company and Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
so  as  to maintain a  strong capital base  sufficient to maintain future exploration, evaluation and  development  of its  projects.  In 
order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, or issue new shares. The Group’s 
focus historically has been to raise sufficient funds through equity to fund its exploration and evaluation activities and expansion. 
In 2020 the Group conducted two entitlement offers detailed further in Note 23. 

The Board has not set a target for employee ownership of the Company’s ordinary shares.  

The Board has not yet set a debt to capital target for the Group.  

Russian  Law  provides  that  Russian  subsidiaries  in  the  Group  need  to  maintain  a  level  of  net  assets  higher  than  their  charter 
capital. Management closely monitor this requirement and act accordingly when required.  

Neither the Company nor remaining subsidiaries are subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

Exposure to credit risk 

Management monitors the exposure to credit risk on an ongoing basis. The maximum exposure to credit risk on financial assets is 
the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position. For 
trade and other receivables, the Group does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of 
counterparties having similar characteristics. The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related 
entities.  

The  Group  has  treasury  policies  in  place  for  deposit  transactions  to  be  conducted  with  financial  institutions  with  high  credit-
ratings  assigned  by international credit-rating  agencies.  At  the  reporting  date,  cash  is held  with reputable  financial institutions 
which all meet the Group’s minimum credit rating required by the approved treasury policy.

In  order  to maintain  current rights  of tenure to  exploration  tenements,  the  Group is  required  to  perform minimum  exploration 
work to meet its licence obligations. In the Russian Federation, this minimum exploration work is defined by the performance of 
a minimum number of drilling metres over the life of each exploration licence. These obligations are expected to be fulfilled in 
the  normal  course  of  operations.  Mining  interests  may  be  relinquished  or  joint  ventured  to  reduce  this  amount.  The  various 
country and state governments have the authority to defer, waive or amend the minimum expenditure requirements.  As of and 
for the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group is in compliance with those exploration obligations defined in the respective 
licences. 

Other commitments 

Other commitments of A$9.050 million are primarily comprised of A$1,898 million commitments to  Chukotsnab and A$5.123 
million  commitments  to  DPCI  for  the  supply  of  diesel  and  CHPP  equipment,  respectively  (At  31  December  2019:  A$5.054

Deed of cross guarantee 

Under the terms of the ASIC Corporations (Wholly-owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785, the Company has entered into an 
approved deed of cross guarantee of liabilities with the subsidiary identified in Note 32. 

Tax contingencies in the Russian Federation 

Russian  tax  legislation  is  subject  to  varying  interpretations  and  changes,  which  can  occur  frequently.  Management’s 
interpretation  of  such  legislation  as  applied  to  the  transactions  and  activities  of  the  Group  may  be  challenged  by  the  relevant 
regional  and  federal  authorities.  Management  believes  that  the  Group  has  adequately  provided  for  tax  liabilities  based  on  its 
interpretation of the applicable tax legislation. However, the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations, and the effect 
on the financial report could be significant if such interpretations are realised. 

28.  Related parties’ disclosure 

(a) 

Identity of related parties 

Balances  and  transactions  between  the  company  and  its  subsidiaries,  which  are  related  parties,  have  been  eliminated  on 
consolidation and are not disclosed in this note.  The remuneration of key management personnel is disclosed in Note 29. 

As disclosed in Note 18, On 18 December 2019 the Group launched an entitlement Offer. Both Dr Bruce Gray and BV Holding 
Limited  agreed  to  take  part  in  this  entitlement  Offer,  and  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  their  respective  loan  agreements, 
elected to set-off outstanding principal and interest amounts against their obligations to pay for the shares received by fully taking 
up their Entitlements. On 2 January 2020, following the issue of shares to BV Mining Holdings Limited, the loan payable to BV 
Mining  Holdings  Limited in  the  amount  of  A$14.776 million  was  settled in  full.  On  2  January  2020  A$13.138 million  out of 
A$14.641 million loan payable to Dr Bruce Gray was settled, following the issuance of shares to Dr. Gray. On 4 February 2021 
outstanding loan payable and interest accrued thereon was settled in full.  

There were no transactions with other related parties during the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019. 

It is the Group’s policy that where transactions are undertaken with related parties, they are done so on an arm’s length basis. 

29.  Key Management Personnel Disclosures

We have audited the financial report of Tigers Realm Coal Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries 
(the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at  31 December 
2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in 
equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial 
statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies,  and  the  directors’  declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(i)  

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its 
financial performance for the year then ended; and   

(ii)  

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

BBaassiiss  ffoorr  OOppiinniioonn  

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  (including  Independence  Standards)  (the  Code)  that  are  relevant  to  our  audit  of  the 
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with 
the Code.  

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the 
time of this auditor’s report. 

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

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report for 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.

Estimation of the amount of royalty obligations in 
relation to Amaam and Amaam North Projects 

As  disclosed  in  Note  21,  the  Group  has  entered 
into a number of royalty arrangements as part of 
obtaining  interests  in  the  Amaam  and  Amaam 
North Projects. 

Management  is  required  to  make  a  number  of 
judgements  to  estimate  the  amount  of  the 
obligation,  including  identifying  an  appropriate 
methodology, the probability, amount and timing 
of  expected  future  cash  flows  from  the  revenue 
derived  from  the  sale  of  coal  produced  and  the 
discount rate. As the estimate is sensitive to these 
judgments,  there  is  a  risk  that  changes  in  key 
assumptions can have a significant impact on the 
estimate and therefore reported results.  

Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

challenging 

assessing the Group’s methodology to estimate 
the  amount  of  the  obligation,  obtaining  an 
understanding  of  the  key  processes  associated 
with  the  preparation  of  the  model  supporting 
the 
its 
and 
estimate 
appropriateness; 
assessing  in  conjunction  with  our  valuation 
experts, the reasonableness of key assumptions 
including  forecast  coal  sales  volumes,  forecast 
long-term  coal  prices,  timing  of  coal  sales  and 
the discount rate applied.  
performing  sensitivity  analysis  on  a  number  of 
key assumptions, including coal sales prices and 
discount rate; 
performing  an  assessment  of  the  historical 
accuracy of forecasting by the management; and  
assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures 
in the notes to the financial statements. 

OOtthheerr  IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn    

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information which will be included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 
(but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon). We obtained the Directors’ 
Report, Corporate Governance Statement and Shareholder Information, which are to be included in 
the annual report, prior to the date of this auditor’s report. The remaining sections of the annual report 
are expected to be made available to us after that date.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not 
and will 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 
identified above 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 on the other information that we obtained prior 
to the date of this auditor’s report, 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.

When  we read  the  remaining sections of the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material 
misstatement  therein,  we  are  required  to  communicate  the  matter  to  the  directors  and  use  our 
professional judgement to determine the appropriate action. 

RReessppoonnssiibbiilliittiieess  ooff  tthhee  DDiirreeccttoorrss  ffoorr  tthhee  FFiinnaanncciiaall  RReeppoorrtt  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the  Group or to cease 
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

AAuuddiittoorr’’ss  RReessppoonnssiibbiilliittiieess  ffoorr  tthhee  AAuuddiitt  ooff  tthhee  FFiinnaanncciiaall  RReeppoorrtt    

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 internal control.  

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

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

83 

95

Annual Report 2020Tigers Realm Coal        
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  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  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.  

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities 
or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report.  We are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

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, actions 
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.  

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.
