Chairman’s Letter 

Dear Shareholder, 

2017/18  was  a  breakthrough  year  for  Breaker  Resources  NL  in  many  ways, 
culminating in a 1.1Moz open pit gold Resource subsequent to  the reporting 
period at the Bombora gold deposit within the 100%-owned Lake Roe Project, 
100km east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. 

The Bombora gold deposit is growing quickly and has already established itself 
as a rare greenfields gold discovery with “camp-scale” growth potential, high-
grade  mining  optionality  and  affinities  with  many  known  dolerite-hosted 
deposits in WA.   

In the five months preceding the September 2018 Resource, the Company added nearly 500,000oz at a cost 
of ~A$11/oz and the deposit remains open in all directions.  The rapid growth and low discovery cost reflect 
the hard-won understanding of a brand new discovery following 155,000m of RC and diamond drilling. 

The Company expects to be drilling and building value at Lake Roe for many years to come based on 
the quality and scale of the Bombora deposit and the demonstrated potential along strike.  

De-risking of the Lake Roe Gold Project has occurred on many fronts.  Metallurgical results, for example, 
point towards high gold recoveries and low-cost processing for the fresh and oxide ores. 

The ongoing, aggressive drilling campaign involving 3-4 drill rigs demonstrates a high gold endowment of 
5,000  to  6,000  ounces  per  vertical  metre,  underpinning  the  mining  potential.  Nearly  800,000oz  of  gold 
occurs in the top 150m of the deposit.    

Perhaps  the  most  significant  de-risking  milestone  is  the  outstanding  mining  potential  identified  by 
preliminary open pit optimisation studies.  These studies indicate excellent potential for a single, 2km-long 
open  pit  with  scope  to  support  a  large,  high-margin  standalone  development.  To  apply  some 
perspective, this is based on shallow drilling in the first 2.2km of an 8km-long system within a 550km2 project. 

In  addition,  drilling  and  3-D  modelling  have  emphatically  confirmed  continuity  of  mineralisation, 
materially de-risking the open pit and underground mining potential in the process.   

High-grade gold mineralisation is a characteristic of the deposit and should not be under-estimated.  It 
creates optionality, potentially allowing the early scheduling of high-grade mineralisation in an open pit 
scenario, or underground mining which can add multiples to any open pit resource in the long-term.  

A pre-feasibility study is well underway to create scope for early monetisation, while Breaker continues to 
build  value  and  expand  the  development  options  through  the  drill  bit.    The  timing  on  the  PFS  will  be 
dictated by the need to establish the overall limits of open pit mining – drilling continues to discover new 
areas  of  shallow  gold  mineralisation  thereby  increasing  the  size  of  a  potential  open  pit,  an  enviable 
problem to have.  Once we know this, we will start to take steps to quantify an underground resource. 

In  closing  off  what  has  been  our  best  year  yet,  I  would  like  to  thank  our  committed  technical  and 
corporate team, including contractors and suppliers, for their hard work and dedication.  I would also like 
to thank our shareholders for their support as we embark on another exciting year with a firm, ongoing 
focus on building value. 

Yours sincerely 

Tom Sanders 
Chairman

Review of Activities 

Review of Exploration Activities 

Activities in and subsequent to the 2017/18 financial year were focused on establishing, upgrading and 
extending a JORC Resource at the Bombora gold deposit within the 100%-owned Lake Roe Gold Project, 
100km  east  of  Kalgoorlie  in  WA.    The  2.2km  Bombora  deposit  forms  part  of  an  8km-long  gold  system 
situated within a project comprising six granted tenements with an overall area of 556km2.  

At the time of writing, the Company has completed 155,000m of reverse circulation (RC) and diamond 
drilling  at  Lake  Roe,  comprising  117,000m  of  RC  drilling  and  38,000m  of  diamond  and  RC  pre-collared 
diamond  drilling.    Breaker  is  still  discovering  new  lodes  within  the  2.2km  main  discovery  zone  after  18 
months  of  resource  definition  drilling,  supporting  the  view  that  Bombora  is  a  major  greenfields  gold 
discovery in the early stages of delineation. 

The effectiveness of the Company’s drilling is perhaps best gauged by a discovery cost of A$17/oz based 
on  overall  project  expenditure  of  approximately A$18million,  which includes  all outgoings  at  Lake  Roe 
since first tenement grant in 2015. 

A major milestone for the Company was an updated 1,084,000oz open pit Resource1, totalling 24.6Mt at 
1.4g/t  Au  announced  in  September  2018.  Importantly,  the  Resource  includes  a  high-grade  core  of 
808,000oz @ 2.0g/t Au (12.5Mt reported above 1.0g/t Au), or 417,000oz @ 3.4g/t Au (3.9Mt reported above 
2.0g/t Au).   

The Resource signals that the Bombora deposit is a potentially major greenfields discovery with high gold 
endowment, excellent mining potential and outstanding scope for further growth.   

The Resource is open in all directions and represents a 74% increase in contained ounces relative to the 
maiden  Resource  of  18  April  2018,  with  58%  of  the  Resource  in  the  Indicated  category  (up  136%  to 
624,000oz).    The  Company  effectively  added  500,000oz  in  five  months  which  reflects  a  growing 
understanding of the deposit. 

Two rounds of metallurgical testwork undertaken in the period indicate no metallurgical issues and point 
towards  low-cost  gold  processing.    Excellent  results  for  gold  recovery  were  achieved  in  both  oxide 
material (96-99%) and fresh rock (97-99%) at a relatively coarse grind size of 106-125µm which indicates 
low energy consumption and hence low operating costs2. 

Going forward, the Company plans to continue building value with a dual strategy of aggressive drilling 
to expand and extend the Resource, while concurrently advancing a pre-feasibility study targeting an 
early standalone open pit development. 

Lake Roe Drilling 

Resource delineation drilling at Bombora commenced in February 2017 and is progressively reducing the 
drill hole spacing to 40m x 20m with local areas of 20m x 20m drilling.  Drilling in and subsequent to the 
reporting period was conducted with three to four rigs operating continuously (typically two RC rigs and 
two diamond rigs). 

The drilling has delivered consistent, excellent results that have progressively built an understanding of the 
geometry of the 2.2km Bombora deposit, as well as the factors controlling the nature and distribution of 
gold mineralisation.  This understanding is reflected in recent 3-D models of the deposit, and the rapid 
growth of the Resource in recent months. 

The  camp-scale  growth  potential  of  the  Lake  Roe  Project  is  supported  by  recent  reconnaissance  RC 
drilling 2km north of Bombora (Crescent Prospect; Figure 1) which intersected shallow gold mineralisation 
including 11m @ 3.84g/t Au from 1m and 9m @ 1.88g/t Au from 40m3.  Similar growth potential is evident 
to the south of Bombora where extensive areas of gold anomalism in aircore drilling is still unexplained by 
the wide-spaced, reconnaissance RC drilling completed to date.

Modelling  of  the  gold  mineralisation  has  unambiguously  confirmed  the  geometry  and  continuity  of 
mineralisation, significantly de-risking the mining potential.   

Gold mineralisation at Bombora is largely stratabound, occurring preferentially in quartz dolerite in three 
dominant geometries that are typically “stacked”, as well as in local zones of stockwork mineralisation.

Review of Activities 

The  gold  distribution  is  controlled  by  multiple,  steep  NNW-trending  mineralised  faults  with  “linking”  flat 
and/or west-dipping mineralised faults.  Plunging lodes occur where the gold-bearing structures intersect 
the chemically favourable, iron-rich western part of the dolerite host rock. 

Gold  occurs  throughout  the  2.2km  discovery  zone  as  sulphide-bearing  mineralised  shears  and  quartz 
lodes  in  steep  shear  lodes,  flat-dipping  quartz  reefs  and  lodes  and  west-dipping  veins  and  lodes.    The 
repetitive  nature  of  the  steep  “controlling”  mineralised  faults,  and  the  deep  gold  mineralisation 
intersected to date, indicate that gold mineralisation is likely to extend at depth.  The geometry of the 
steep, flat and west-dipping mineralised structures is depicted in Figures 3 and 4.

the northwest (Boundary of preliminary A$2,000 Whittle open pit shell in black) 

The contribution of ounces to the Bombora Resource for the three main lode geometries and stockwork 
mineralisation is summarised below.

Mineral Resource 

An  updated  open  pit Mineral  Resource  estimate  for  the  Bombora  deposit  was  reported in  September 
20185 to a depth of 250 metres below surface (mbs).  The Mineral Resource is designed to maximise the 
profit in  an  open  pit  mining  scenario  and  uses  a  0.2g/t Au  lower  cut-off  grade  for  boundary  definition 
reported above a cut-off grade of 0.5g/t Au.

Resource reported above 250mbs (50mRL). 
Lower cut-off grade of 0.2g/t Au to enhance geological continuity.  

Drilling below 250mbs has confirmed the presence of significant mineralisation (eg. BBDD0020: 5.95m @ 
11.33g/t Au6) but the amount of drilling is not sufficient to quantify a resource. 

Accordingly, an Exploration Target7 of 1.2 million to 1.4 million ounces of gold is estimated over a vertical 
distance  of  450m  below  the  revised  Mineral  Resource  from  approximately  250mbs  to  700mbs.  The 
Exploration Target comprises an estimated range of 6.8Mt to 9.7Mt at a grade of 4.5g/t Au to 5.5g/t Au 
(Figure 6).  The tonnage and grade ranges are based on roughly half the observed ounces per vertical 
metre observed in areas of adequate drilling above 150mbs.

Review of Activities 

Other Lake Roe Activities 

In  addition  to  drilling,  other  activities  undertaken  at  Lake  Roe  during  the  period  include  geological 
mapping and rock chip sampling.  The Manna Lithium Prospect, an outcropping swarm of lithium-cesium-
tantalum  pegmatites,  was  discovered  during  the  March  2018  quarter.    First-pass  rock  chip  sampling 
showed widespread enrichment in lithium (up to 3.81% Li2O), tantalum (up to 366ppm Ta2O5) and niobium 
(up to 251ppm Nb2O5)8, and strong evidence of chemical zoning. 

Mapping has confirmed a ~130m wide corridor of sub-cropping spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes 
with  a  strike  length  of  at  least  750m.    A  program  of  reconnaissance  RC  drilling  to  assess  the  potential 
significance of the lithium discovery has been completed.  Results are pending.  

Other Exploration 

The Ularring Rock Project is located 100km east of Perth and covers the Centre Forest and Southern Brook 
gold-copper  prospects.    Assessment  of  the  project  was  ongoing  during  the  period  with  a  review  of 
historical datasets identifying potential for a district scale mineralisation system with multiple structural and 
geochemical targets, including a large bullseye groundwater tungsten anomaly.  A reconnaissance field 
investigation was completed in 2017/18 and pre-ground work activities will continue.  

As  at  30  June  2018,  the  Company  held  approximately  987km2  of  tenements  comprising  nine  granted 
exploration licences and one mining lease application across the Lake Roe and Ularring Rock Project areas.

Review of Activities & Tenement Schedule 

Review of Corporate Activities 

On 25 August 2017 the Company announced the conduct of a capital raising comprising a placement 
and a share purchase plan (SPP).  The placement to prominent Australian and overseas institutions and 
sophisticated  and  professional  investors  secured  $10million  and  the  SPP  was  well-supported  by 
shareholders, raising over $1.3million, with shares issued at $0.70.  Subsequent to year end, a placement 
raised  over  $10.5million  (issue  price  $0.29)  to  enable  the  Company  to  continue  its  drilling  and  pre-
development activities at Lake Roe.  

Other  equity  movements  during  the  reporting  period  were  the  issue  of  shares  to  a  nominee  of  Ausdrill 
Limited as part consideration for drilling services and the issue and lapse of unlisted options.  In addition, 
a total of 1,006,250 partly paid shares were paid up.  As at 30 June 2018, Breaker’s capital structure was 
as follows: 

  146,101,594 fully paid ordinary shares; 
  4,665,373 partly paid ordinary shares; and 
  5,650,000 unlisted options at various exercise prices and expiry dates. 

The  Company’s  share  register  transferred  from  Advanced  Share  Registry  Services  to  Automic  Registry 
Services during October 2017 and the annual general meeting was held on 23 November 2017. 

Breaker was represented at a number of conferences during 2017/18 including Diggers and Dealers in 
Kalgoorlie, RIU Resources Round-up in Sydney, Precious Metals Investment Symposium in Melbourne and 
Resources Rising Stars events on the Gold Coast and in Sydney and Melbourne. 

On  30  June  2018,  the  Company  dispatched  notices  to  all  eligible  shareholders  advising  of  tax  credits 
available through Breaker’s participation in the federal government’s Exploration Development Incentive 
Scheme  (EDI).    The  EDI  is  intended  to  encourage  shareholder  investment  in  exploration  companies 
undertaking  greenfields  mineral  exploration  in  Australia.    It  enables  eligible  companies  to  create 
exploration  credits  by  giving  up  a  portion  of  their  tax  losses  from  eligible  exploration  expenditure  and 
distributing these to shareholders. 

At the beginning of the period the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares were trading at $0.66 and as at 
30 June 2018, the price was $0.26.

Key Management Personnel 
For the purposes of this report, key management personnel of the Company are defined as those persons 
having  authority  and  responsibility  for  planning,  directing  and  controlling  the  major  activities  of  the 
Company, directly or indirectly.  The key management personnel during the year were:

  Mark Edwards 
  Mike Kitney 
  Alastair Barker 
  Michelle Simson 

Executive Chairman 
Non-Executive Director 
Non-Executive Director 
Exploration Manager 
Manager Corporate Affairs/Company Secretary 

Principles Used to Determine the Components and Amount of Compensation 
Remuneration Committee 
The role of the Remuneration Committee is to assist the Company in fulfilling its corporate governance 
responsibilities relating to remuneration by reviewing and making appropriate recommendations on: 

remuneration packages of executive directors, non-executive directors and officers;  

 
  employee incentive and equity-based plans including the appropriateness of performance hurdles 

and total payments proposed; 
recruitment, retention and termination policies and procedures for senior executives; and 

 
  superannuation arrangements. 

Remuneration Policy 
The remuneration policy of Breaker Resources NL has been designed to align key management personnel 
objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and 
offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Company’s results.  
The Board of Breaker Resources NL believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in 
its ability to attract and retain the best key management personnel to run and manage the Company. 

The policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for senior executives of the Company 
is summarised below: 

  The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior 
executives,  was  developed  by  the  Board.    The  Board  reviews  executive  packages  annually  by 
reference  to  the  Company’s  performance,  executive  performance  and  comparable  information 
from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. 

  The  Board  may  exercise  discretion  in  relation  to  approving  incentives,  bonuses  and  options.    The 
policy  is  designed  to  attract  and  retain  the  highest  calibre  of  executives  and  reward  them  for 
performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. 

  Executives are also eligible to participate in the employee incentive option scheme. 

  Where  applicable,  executives  receive  a  superannuation  guarantee  contribution  required  by  the 
government, which during the reporting period was 9.5%.  Some individuals may choose to sacrifice 
part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. 

  All  remuneration  paid  to  key  management  personnel  is  valued  at  the  cost  to  the  Company  and 

expensed.  Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

Directors’ Report 

The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for 
time, commitment and responsibilities.  The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors 
and  reviews  their  remuneration  annually,  based  on  market  practice,  duties  and  accountability.  
Independent external advice is sought when required. 

The  maximum  aggregate  amount  of  fees  that  can  be  paid  to  non-executive  directors  is  subject  to 
approval  by  shareholders  in  general  meeting.    The  current  remuneration  pool  limit  is  $300,000  and  is 
currently utilised to a level of $80,000 per annum.  The base fee paid to non-executive directors is $40,000 
per annum inclusive of superannuation. 

Fees for  non-executive directors are not linked to  the performance of  the Company however to align 
directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company 
and are able to participate in the employee incentive option scheme, although any allocation must be 
approved by shareholders in general meeting.  There is no retirement benefit plan for directors. 

Performance Based Remuneration  
The  Company  currently  has  no  individual  performance  based  remuneration  component  built  into  key 
management personnel remuneration packages. 

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Key Management Personnel Remuneration 
The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  the  direct  positive  relationship  between 
shareholders’  investment  objectives  and  key  management  personnel  performance.  Currently,  this  is 
facilitated through the issue of options to key management personnel to encourage  the alignment of 
personal  and  shareholder  interests.    The  Company  believes  this  policy  will  be  effective  in  increasing 
shareholder wealth. 

Use of Remuneration Consultants 
The  Company  did  not  employ  the  services  of  any  remuneration  consultants  during  the  financial  year 
ended 30 June 2018. 

Details of Remuneration 
The key management personnel of the Company are disclosed above.  Remuneration packages contain 
the following elements:

Notes to the Financial Statements  

Notes to the Financial Statements 
for the Year ended 30 June 2018 

1.    General information 

Breaker Resources NL is a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, incorporated in 
Australia and operating in Australia.  The Company’s registered office and its principal place of business 
is 12 Walker Avenue, West Perth WA 6005.  Breaker Resources NL’s principal activity is mineral exploration 
and it is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the Financial Statements. 

These Financial Statements are for Breaker Resources NL as an individual entity and are presented in the 
Australian  currency.    The  Financial  Statements  were  authorised  for  issue  by  the  directors  on  15  August 
2018.  The directors have the power to amend and reissue the Financial Statements. 

2.    Significant accounting policies 

The  principal  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the  preparation  of  the  Financial  Statements  are  set  out 
below. 

(a)  

Basis of preparation 
These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the 
Corporations  Act  2001  (Cth)  (Corporations  Act)  and  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations  (Standards)  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  (AASB).    The 
Financial Statements and notes of the Company also comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 

These Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.  Historical 
cost  is  generally  based  on  the  fair values  of  the  consideration  given in  exchange  for  assets.  All 
amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. 

Going concern 
The  Financial  Statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  basis  of  going  concern  which  assumes 
continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in 
the ordinary course of business.   

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon funding to provide 
adequate  working  capital  for  a  further  12  months  from  the  date  of  signature  of  the  Financial 
Statements. The directors intend to raise capital if it is needed. Therefore, they are satisfied that the 
going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. 

The  Financial  Statements  do  not  include  any  adjustments  relating  to  the  recoverability  and 
classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may 
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 

(b)   New and revised accounting standards 

i. 

Amendments to Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for the current year 
In the current year, the Company has applied below applicable amendments to Standards 
issued by the AASB that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on 
or after 1 July 2017, and therefore relevant for the current year end. 

2018 Annual Report  27 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements  

AASB 1048 ‘Interpretation of Standards’ 

The Company has applied the new principal version of AASB 1048 providing an up-to-date 
listing of Australian Accounting Interpretations, including Interpretation 22 ‘Foreign Currency 
Transactions and Advance Consideration’ and Interpretation 23 ‘Uncertainty over Income 
Tax Treatments’.  

The  application  of  these  amendments  has  had  no  impact  on  the  Company's  financial 
statements as this is a service standard that ensures there is no difference between the status 
of  Interpretations  in  the  hierarchy  between  IAS  8  ‘Accounting  Policies,  Changes  in 
Accounting  Estimates  and  Errors’  and  AASB  108  ‘Accounting  Policies,  Changes  in 
Accounting Estimates and Errors’.  

AASB 2016-1 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred 
Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses’ 

The  Company  has  applied  these  amendments  for  the  first  time  in  the  current  year.  The 
amendments  clarify  how  an  entity  should  evaluate  whether  there  will  be  sufficient  future 
taxable profits against which it can utilise a deductible temporary difference.  

The  application  of  these  amendments  has  had  no  impact  on  the  Company's  financial 
statements  as  the  Company  already  assesses  the  sufficiency  of  future  taxable  profits in  a 
way that is consistent with these amendments.  

AASB  2016-2  ‘Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Disclosure  Initiative: 
Amendments to AASB 107’  

The  Company  has  applied  these  amendments  for  the  first  time  in  the  current  year.  The 
amendments  require  an  entity  to  provide  disclosures  that  enable  users  of  financial 
statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both 
cash and non-cash changes.  

The application of this amendment has not had any impact on the financial statements as 
the Company has had no liabilities arising from financing activities. 

AASB  2017-2  ‘Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Further  Annual 
Improvements 2014-2016’  

Amends AASB 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ to clarify that an entity need not 
provide  summarised  financial  information  for  interests  in  subsidiaries,  associates  or  joint 
ventures that are classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale. 
The amendments clarify that this is the only concession from the disclosure requirements of 
AASB 12 for such interests.  

The  application  of  these  amendments  has  had  no  effect  on  the  Company's  financial 
statements as the Company has had no interests in such entities.  

ii. 

New and revised Accounting Standards in issue not yet adopted 
At the date of authorisation of the Financial Statements,  the Standards applicable to  the 
Company’s business listed below were in issue but not yet effective.  The potential effect of 
the revised Standards on the Company’s financial statements has not yet been determined. 

AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ and the relevant amending standards, effective for annual 
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, expected to be initially applied in 
the financial year ending 30 June 2019;

AASB  2016-5  ‘Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Classification  and 
Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions’, effective for annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2018, expected to be initially applied in the financial year 
ending 30 June 2019;  

AASB  2008-1  ‘Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Annual  Improvements 
2015-2017  Cycle’,  effective  for  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January 
2019, expected to be initially applied in the financial year ending 30 June 2020; and 

Interpretation 23 ‘Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments’, effective for annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, expected to be initially applied in the financial 
year ending 30 June 2020. 

(c)  

Segment reporting 
An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity that engages in business activities 
from  which  it  may  earn  revenues  and  incur  expenses,  whose  operating  results  are  regularly 
reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be 
allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information 
is available. 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to 
the  chief  operating  decision  maker.    The  Company’s  chief  operating  decision  maker,  who  is 
responsible  for  allocating  resources  and  assessing  performance  of  the  operating  segments,  has 
been identified as the Board of Directors. 

(d)   Government grants 

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will 
comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.  Government 
grants  that  are  receivable  as  compensation  for  expenses  or  losses  already  incurred  or  for  the 
purpose of giving immediate financial support to  the Company  with no future related costs are 
recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. 

(e)  

(f)   

Interest income 
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the 
effective interest rate applicable. 

Income tax 
The income tax expense for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based 
on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets 
and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. 

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively 
enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries  where the Company operates and 
generates taxable income.  Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with 
respect  to  situations  in  which  applicable  tax  regulation  is  subject  to  interpretation.    It  creates 
provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. 

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising 
between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  in  the  Financial 
Statements.    However,  the  deferred  tax  income  is  not  accounted  for  if  it  arises  from  initial 
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that at the time of the transaction affects neither 
accounting nor taxable profit or loss.  Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) 
that  have  been  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  by  the  reporting  date  and  are  expected  to 

2018 Annual Report  29 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements  

apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is 
settled. 

Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  and  unused  tax  losses 
only  if  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  amounts  will  be  available  to  utilise  these  temporary 
differences and losses.  The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each 
reporting  period  and  reduced  to  the  extent  that  it  is  no  longer  probable  that  sufficient  taxable 
profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current 
tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.  
Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to 
offset  and  intends  either  to  settle  on  a  net  basis,  or  to  realise  the  asset  and  settle  the  liability 
simultaneously. 

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items 
recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  or  directly  in  equity.    In  this  case,  the  tax  is  also 
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. 

(g)  

Impairment of assets 
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible 
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment 
loss.    An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  for  the  amount  by  which  the  asset’s  carrying  amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount.  The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less 
costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use.    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 which the estimates 
of future cash flows have not been adjusted. 

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying 
amount  of  the  asset  is  reduced  to  its  recoverable  amount.    An  impairment  loss  is  recognised 
immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case 
the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. 

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to 
the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does 
not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been 
recognised for the asset in prior years.  A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately 
in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal 
of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. 

(h)   Cash and cash equivalents 

For the purpose of presentation in the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include 
cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  financial  institutions,  other  short  term  highly  liquid 
investments with original maturities of three (3) months or less that are readily convertible to known 
amounts  of  cash  and  which  are  not  subject  to  significant  risk  of  changes  in  value,  and  bank 
overdrafts. 

(i)   

Trade and other receivables 
Receivables  are  recognised  and  carried  at  original  invoice  amount  less  a  provision  for  any 
uncollectible debts.  An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is 
no longer probable.  Bad debts are written off as incurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements  

(j)   

Financial assets 
Classification 
The Company classifies all of its financial assets as loans and receivables.  Management determines 
the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. 

Loans and receivables 
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinate payments that 
are  not  quoted  in  an  active  market.    They  are  included  in  current  assets,  except  for  those  with 
maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. 

Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to be the 
same as their fair value.  For the non-current receivables, the fair values are also not significantly 
different to their carrying amounts. 

Collectability of loans and receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Debts which are known 
to  be  uncollectible  are  written  off  by  reducing  the  carrying  amount  directly.    An  allowance 
account (provision for impairment) is used where there is objective evidence that the Company 
will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables or in 
an otherwise timely manner.  The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between 
the asset’s carrying amount and the estimated future cashflows.  None of the Company’s loans 
and receivables has an applicable interest rate hence the cash flows are not discounted. 

The  amount  of  the  impairment  loss  is  recognised  in  the  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other 
Comprehensive  Income  within  impairment  expenses.    When  a  loan  or  receivable  for  which  an 
impairment allowance has been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is 
written off against the allowance account.  Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written 
off are credited against other expenses in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income. 

Recognition and derecognition 
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which 
the  Company  commits  to  purchase  or  sell  the  asset.    Investments  are  initially  recognised  at  fair 
value  plus  transaction  costs  for  all  financial  assets  not  carried  at  fair value  through  profit  or loss.  
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets 
have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all of the 
risks and rewards of ownership. 

Impairment 
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial 
asset or group of financial assets is impaired.  If there is any evidence of impairment for any of the 
Company’s  financial  assets  carried  at  amortised  cost,  the  loss  is  measured  as  the  difference 
between  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows, 
excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred.  The cash flows are discounted at the 
financial asset’s original effective interest rate.  The loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit or 
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 

(k)  

Plant and equipment 
All  plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  depreciation.    Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, 
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will 
flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.  The carrying amount of 
any  component  accounted  for  as  a  separate  asset  is  derecognised  when  replaced.    All  other 
repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income during the reporting period in which they are incurred. 

2018 Annual Report  31 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements  

Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their 
cost  or  revalued  amounts,  net  of  their  residual  values,  over  their  estimated  useful  lives  or,  in  the 
case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term.  
All plant and equipment is depreciated at the rate of 25% per annum. 

The  assets’  residual  values  and  useful  lives  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  each 
reporting date.  An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount 
if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (refer to Note 2(g)). 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount.  These 
are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 

(l)   

Exploration and evaluation costs 
Exploration and evaluation costs are written off in the year they are incurred. 

(m)  

(n)  

Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the 
end of the financial year which are unpaid.  The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and 
are paid on normal commercial terms.  They are presented as current liabilities unless payment is 
not due within 12 months after the reporting period. 

Employee benefits 
Short-term obligations 
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  and  annual  leave  that  are 
expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees 
render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the 
reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are 
settled.  The short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. 

Other long-term employee benefit obligations 
The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave that are not expected to be settled wholly 
within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are 
recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected 
future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the 
reporting period using the projected unit credit method.  Consideration is given to expected future 
wage  and  salary  levels,  experience  of  employee  departures  and  periods  of  service.    Expected 
future  payments  are  discounted  using  market  yields  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  of 
government  bonds  with  terms  and  currencies  that  match,  as  closely  as  possible,  the  estimated 
future cash outflows. 

Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are 
recognised in profit or loss. 

(o)  

Share-based payments 
The Company provides benefits to employees (including directors and contractors) and suppliers 
in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees and suppliers render goods 
or services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions) (refer to Note 
18). 

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair 
value at the date at which they are granted.  The fair value of options is determined by an internal 
valuation  using  a  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model.    The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  is 
recognised,  together  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity,  over  the  period  in  which  any 
performance  conditions  are  fulfilled,  ending  on  the  date  on  which  the  relevant  employees  or 
suppliers become fully entitled to the award (vesting date).

Notes to the Financial Statements  

The  cumulative  expense  recognised  for  equity-settled  transactions  at  each  reporting  date  until 
vesting date reflects: 

 
 

the extent to which the vesting period has expired; and 
the number of options that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. 

This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date.  No adjustment is 
made  for  the  likelihood  of  market  performance  conditions  being  met  as  the  effect  of  these 
conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.  No expense is recognised 
for  awards  that  do  not  ultimately  vest,  except  for  awards  where  vesting  is  conditional  upon  a 
market condition. 

Where  an  equity-settled  award  is  cancelled,  it  is  treated  as  if  it  had  vested  on  the  date  of 
cancellation,  and  any  expense  not  yet  recognised  for  the  award  is  recognised  immediately.  
However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement 
award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a 
modification of the original award. 

(p)  

Issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.  Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new 
shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

(q)   Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the 
GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority.  In this case it is recognised as part of 
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable.  The 
net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other 
receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis.  The GST components of cash flows arising from investing 
or  financing  activities  which  are  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to  the  taxation  authority,  are 
presented as operating cash flows. 

(r)    Critical judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The  preparation  of  these  Financial  Statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting 
estimates, which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results.  It also requires management 
to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies.  The areas 
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates 
are significant to the Financial Statements are: 

Environmental issues 
Balances disclosed in the Financial Statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending 
or  enacted  environmental  legislation,  and  the  directors’  understanding  thereof.    At  the  current 
stage of the Company’s development and its current environmental impact, the directors believe 
such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.

Notes to the Financial Statements  

Taxation 
Balances disclosed in the Financial Statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based 
on  the  best  estimates  of  the  directors.    These  estimates  take  into  account  both  the  financial 
performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, 
and the directors’ understanding thereof.  No adjustment has been made for pending or future 
taxation  legislation.    The  current  income  tax  position  represents  the  directors’  best  estimate, 
pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office. 

3.  Financial risk management 

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest 
rate  risk  and price  risk),  credit  risk  and liquidity risk.    The  Company’s  overall  risk management  program 
focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on 
the financial performance of the Company. 

Risk  management  is  carried  out  by  the  full  Board  via  the  audit  and  risk  committees  as  the  Company 
believes that it is crucial for all directors to be involved in this process.  The Executive Chairman, with the 
assistance  of  senior  management  as  required,  has  responsibility  for  identifying,  assessing,  treating  and 
monitoring risks and reporting to the Board on risk management. 

(a)   Market risk 

Foreign exchange risk 
As all current operations are within Australia the Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk. 

Commodity price risk 
Given the current level of operations the Company is not directly exposed to commodity price risk. 

Interest rate risk 
The Company is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents and 
bank deposits.  The Company’s policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to six (6) months 
to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return.  
The entire balance of cash and bank deposits for the Company of $5,173,422 (2017: $7,391,438) is 
subject  to  interest  rate  risk.    The  weighted  average  interest  rate  received  on  cash  and  cash 
equivalents by the Company was 1.53% (2017: 1.98%). 

Sensitivity analysis 
At 30 June 2018, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 100 basis points from the weighted average 
rate for the year with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the Company would have 
been  $62,987  lower/higher  (2017:  $40,244)  as  a  result  of  lower/higher  interest  income  from  cash 
and cash equivalents. 

(b)   Credit risk 

The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk.  The maximum exposure to credit risk 
at balance date is the carrying amount of those assets as disclosed in the Statement of Financial 
Position and Notes to the Financial Statements. 

As the Company does not presently have any debtors, lending, significant stock levels or any other 
credit risk, a formal credit risk management policy is not maintained. 

(c)  

Liquidity risk 
The  Company  manages  liquidity  risk  by  continuously  monitoring  forecast  and  actual  cash  flows 
and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future 
commitments  of  the  Company.    Due  to  the  nature  of  the  Company’s  activities,  being  mineral 
exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source 
of funding being equity raisings.

Notes to the Financial Statements  

The  Board  constantly  monitors  the  state  of  equity  markets  in  conjunction  with  the  Company’s 
current  and  future  funding  requirements,  with  a  view  to  initiating  appropriate  capital  raisings  as 
required. 

The  financial  liabilities  of  the  Company  are  generally  confined  to  trade  and  other  payables  as 
disclosed  in  the  Statement  of  Financial  Position.    All  trade  and  other  payables  are  non-interest 
bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date. 

(d)  

Fair value estimation 
The  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  must  be  estimated  for  recognition  and 
measurement or for disclosure purposes.  All financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company 
at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their carrying amount due to their 
short-term nature.

5.  Operating segments 

For management purposes, the Company has identified only one (1) reportable segment as exploration 
activities undertaken in Australia.  This segment includes activities associated with the determination and 
assessment of the existence of commercial economic reserves from the Company’s mineral assets in this 
geographic location.  Segment performance is evaluated based on the operating profit and loss and 
cash flows and is measured in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies.

In the 2018 income year, the Government enacted a change in the company tax rate based on the type 
of entity.  A company which satisfies a base rate entity test must apply the lower tax rate of 27.5%.  A base 
rate entity is a company that has both an aggregate turnover less than $25million for the 2018 income 
year and is carrying on a business.  Breaker Resources NL may satisfy the criteria to be a base rate entity.  
However, currently there is a Bill before the Senate that may alter the position of the tax rate for Breaker 
Resources NL.  The retrospective impact, when enacted, will be only on the amount of the deferred tax 
asset. 

Net deferred tax  assets have not been  brought  to account as it is not  probable  within the immediate 
future that tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and tax losses can 
be  utilised.    The  Company’s  ability  to  use  losses  in  the  future  is  subject  to  the  Company  satisfying  the 
relevant tax authority’s criteria for using these losses. 

The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire under current tax legislation.  Deferred 
tax  assets  have  not  been  recognised  in  respect  of  these  items  because  it  is  not  probable  that  future 
taxable profit will be available against which the Company can utilise benefits.  The utilisation of tax losses 
is dependent on the Company satisfying the continuity of ownership test or the same business test at the 
time the tax losses are applied against taxable income.

The  Company  participated  in  the  federal  government’s  2015/16  Exploration  Development  Incentive 
Scheme  (EDI) for eligible exploration entities.  As a result the Company has foregone 2016 income tax 
losses to the extent of $2,219,306 in exchange for the EDI credits of $632,502 for the eligible shareholders.

All options on issue are exercisable on a 1:1 basis for the Company’s ordinary shares and carry no 
rights to dividends and no voting rights.  The options are exercisable at prices between $0.40 and 
$0.73 and expire between 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2020. 

(d)   Ordinary shares 

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of 
the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held.  On a show of 
hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one 
(1) vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one (1) vote, in proportion to the number of and 
amounts paid as a proportion of the issue price on the shares held.  Ordinary shares have no par 
value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. 

The  partly  paid  ordinary  shares  have  a  total  issue  price  of  $0.20  and  are  paid  up  to  $0.01.    The 
balance is payable by calls made by the Company no earlier than four (4) years after the date of 
issue (December 2013).  Upon becoming fully paid, each partly paid share will rank equally in all 
respects with the other issued fully paid shares in the Company. 

(e)   Capital risk management 

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to carry on as a going 
concern,  so  that  it  may  continue  to  provide  returns  for  shareholders  and  benefits  for  other 
stakeholders. 

Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not 
have  ready  access  to  credit  facilities,  with  the  primary  source  of  funding  being  equity  raisings.  
Therefore, the focus of capital risk management is the current working capital position against the 
requirements  of  the  Company  to  meet  exploration  programs  and  corporate  overheads.    The 
Company’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating 
requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

Information on classification of options 
As  the  Company  has  made  a  loss  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2018,  all  options  on  issue  are 
considered  antidilutive  and  have  not  been  included  in  the  calculation  of  diluted  earnings  per 
share.  These options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. 

16.  Commitments 

(a)  

Exploration Commitments 
The  Company  must  maintain  current  rights  of  tenure  to  tenements,  which  requires  outlays  of 
expenditure  in  2018/19.    Under  certain  circumstances  these  commitments  are  subject  to  the 
possibility  of  adjustment  to  the  amount  and/or  timing  of  such  obligations  however  they  are 
expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of operations.

18.  Share-based payments 

(a)  

Employee share options 
The Company provides benefits to employees (including directors and eligible contractors) of the 
Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services 
in  exchange  for  options  to  acquire  ordinary  shares.    Options  are  granted  under  the  plan  for  no 
consideration. 

The table below summarises the share-based payment options granted by Breaker Resources NL:

A  total  of  400,000  unlisted  employee  options  lapsed  during  the  year.    The  weighted  average 
remaining  contractual  life of  share  options  outstanding  at  the  end  of  the  financial  year  was  1.5 
years (2017: 2.5 years) and the exercise prices ranged from 43.2 cents to 73.0 cents (2017: 40.3 cents 
to 69.0 cents). 

The weighted average fair value of the employee share options granted during the year was 25.90 
cents (2017: 21.44 cents).  The fair value of the options was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing 
model.  Expected volatility was based on the historical movement of the underlying share price 
around its average share price.  The assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future 
trends may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

amount of $742,209 was transferred from the share-based payment reserve to accumulated losses 
as a result of the lapse of 400,000 options and voiding of 3,000,000 options.
