Chairman’s Letter 

Dear Shareholder, 

Breaker Resources NL is poised for dynamic growth in the year ahead.  Over the last 
few years, we have successfully identified a rare and large new gold field only 100km 
from Kalgoorlie.  Despite a 1Moz open pit Resource# and 250,000m of drilling, it is still 
in the early stages of delineation. 

This  is  an  enviable  position  for  any  Company  to  be  in,  and  one  that  I  believe  the 
market  will  recognise  and  reward  in  due  course.    This  view  has  also  attracted  the 
support of several prominent US gold funds who have either invested in Breaker, such as Electrum Strategic 
Opportunities Fund II, or who intend to invest, such as Paulson and Co., subject to shareholder approval.  
This support is a major vote of confidence in the potential of the Lake Roe project, our people and our 
systematic approach to growth built on early de-risking. 

To reflect briefly on our journey to date, the Company made a virgin discovery hidden by transported 
cover in 2015, in an area that several other companies had previously explored.  Breaker then set about 
creating  an  early  development  option  by  proving  up  a  1Moz  open  pit  Resource#  at  Bombora,  which 
remains  open  in  all  directions  after  250,000m  of  RC  and  diamond  drilling.    The  deposit  starts  5m  from 
surface and is high-grade by nature, a favourable combination particularly in the early years of mining.   

After  a  strategic  review  in  late  2019,  Breaker  decided  to  continue  drilling  to  grow  the  Resource  and 
expand and de-risk the Company’s development options.  We made this decision because we could see 
the growth potential.  We also understood that the market is wary of single asset developers perceived 
to  be  moving  into  production  too  early,  a  view  reinforced  by  negative  outcomes  at  several  recent 
developments. 

We  started an aggressive drilling campaign to expand the Resource in early 2020.  Prior to this, drilling 
outside Bombora was limited due to an early focus on de-risking the open pit Resource.  Since the start 
of 2020, our drilling has had early and material success.  As a result, we have identified three large areas 
of emerging discovery and extension that are slated for resource growth.  This outcome demonstrates 
that our view of the substantial growth potential is correct.   

We have identified a 2km-long strike length of high-grade lodes below the open pit Resource to date 
that are not yet in Resource.  In the process, we have also demonstrated the potential for underground 
mining.  By changing the lower cut-off grade, there is scope to mine underground.  This not only extends 
mine life, but can also add multiples to any project valuation based purely on open pit mining.   

We have identified an emerging, 2km-long discovery at the Kopai-Crescent Prospect, situated 3km north 
of Bombora, where drilling is still scoping the areal extent of mineralisation.   

We have made a potentially significant discovery at the Carbineer Prospect, which extends over a 12km-
long zone directly to the east of Bombora.  Maiden drilling hits of up to 22g/t Au highlight this potential, 
and a new style of gold mineralisation is potentially opening up along the granite contact. 

These results confirm that the 1Moz Resource# at Bombora is part of a much larger gold system that is up 
to 15km-long, within a large (600km2) project with a granted mining lease and 40km of strike potential. As 
a result, we plan to run at least three drill rigs continuously for the foreseeable future, and at the right time 
we plan to step this up.   

In closing, I would like to thank our highly professional staff, technical team, contractors and suppliers for 
their hard work that has made our success possible.  I would also like to thank our shareholders for their 
ongoing support and I look forward to a rewarding year ahead. 

Yours sincerely 

Tom Sanders 
Chairman

Review of Activities 

Review of Exploration Activities 

Breaker Resources NL (ASX:BRB) is focused on expanding a rare 1Moz# greenfields gold discovery at its 
Lake Roe Gold Project, 100km east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.  

After 250,000m of drilling, the deposit, which is concealed by thin (5m) transported cover, is open in all 
directions.  The consistency and areal extent of the results indicate a new gold camp in the early stages 
of delineation, with 600km2 of tenure, a granted mining lease, and 40km of strike potential. 

The deposit is similar in style to the well-known (70Moz) Golden Mile deposit in Kalgoorlie, and has yielded 
some of the best drill hits in Western Australia in the last few years, such as 25m @ 18.53g/t from 52m, 7m 
@ 61.78g/t from 59m and 6.1m @ 10.54g/t from 491.8m1. 

The Lake Roe Gold Project has the attributes of scale, grade and camp-scale growth potential, and the 
open pit and underground mining potential are extensively de-risked.  

A major drilling program is underway to increase the 1Moz open pit Resource# at Bombora to expand the 
future development options.  Since the start of 2020, an aggressive drilling campaign has had early success.  
As a result, there are three large areas of emerging discovery and extension slated for resource growth.

Review of Activities 

2019/20 Drilling 

A 42,575m program of regional geochemical aircore drilling was undertaken in the period June 2019 to 
November 2019 in preparation for further exploratory reverse circulation (RC) drilling following an intensive 
three year-long phase of Resource delineation drilling at Bombora. 

A  second  major  phase  of  RC  and  diamond  drilling  commenced  in  December  2109  and is currently  in 
progress with two diamond rigs and one RC rig operating continuously.  Campaign-style RC drilling in the 
period December 2019 to early-February 2020, reverted to continuous RC drilling from May 2020.  To date 
14,072m of RC drilling and 9,959m of diamond drilling have been reported, which includes all drilling to 
and including ASX Release of 2 July 2020. 

Since  the  start  of  2020,  the  RC  and  diamond  drilling  has  had  early  success  with  three  large  areas  of 
emerging discovery and extension identified and which are slated for ongoing resource growth: 

(i) 

Bombora Deeps, directly below the extensively de-risked open pit Resource (80% Indicated; Figures 
1, 3 & 4); 
The emerging 2km-long discovery in the Kopai-Crescent area, 3km north of Bombora (Figure 5); and 

(ii) 
(iii)  The new Carbineer area, an emerging 12km-long zone 400m east of Bombora (Figures 6 & 7). 

Due to the large size of the targets, the drilling is necessarily wide-spaced to scope the areal extent and 
nature of the mineralisation, and to prioritise the best areas for resource definition drilling.  The wide drill 
spacing  makes  any  positive  results  obtained  more  significant,  resulting  in  either  discovery  or  material 
extension.   

Based on the ongoing success of the drilling, the Company plans to continue operating at least three drill 
rigs for the foreseeable future, but plans to step this up at the right time. 

Figure 2: Drilling summary by quarter 

Overview and Summary of Drilling Results 

The  extensional  focus  of  Breaker’s  drilling  since  the  start  of  2020  has  delivered  discovery  and  material 
extension  in  three  large  areas  outside  the  Bombora  Resource  –  Bombora  Deeps,  Kopai-Crescent  and 
Carbineer (Figure 1). 

The  results  highlight  the  growth  potential  of  a rare  large  greenfields  gold  system  that  is  still in  the  early 
stages of delineation; and which already hosts an extensively de-risked, 1Moz open pit Resource#.

Review of Activities 

Drilling  below  the  Bombora  open  pit  resource  resulted  in  the  discovery  of  several  new  lodes  and  the 
material extension of others at grades that are typically mined underground. Accordingly, there is now a 
2km strike length of high-grade lodes below (outside) the Resource, and the potential for underground 
mining is materially upgraded and is open along strike. 

Early drilling in the Kopai-Crescent area, 3km north of Bombora, points to a new 2km-long discovery linking 
the Kopai and Crescent Prospects. 

Maiden drilling at Carbineer, to the east of Bombora, hit high-grade gold of up to 4m at 21.79g/t Au2 in a 
new unit of quartz dolerite with the potential for a 1km extension to the north. 

Further east, there is emerging potential for syenite-associated gold mineralisation along the 12km-long 
sheared western contact of the Swan Lake Syenite (Figures 1 & 6).   

This contact is anomalous in gold, silver, molybdenum and tungsten based on Breaker’s regional aircore 
drilling (Figure 7), and several significant drill intersections along this contact have not yet been tracked 
into syenite: eg. Claypan 5m @ 3.64g/t Au (BAC1032), 12m @ 1.17g/t Au (BBRC1434) and 7m @ 1.68g/t Au 
(BBRC0705)2.    Syenite-associated  magnetite  alteration  is  commonly  present  near  the  contact.    This  is 
important  as  magnetite  is  a  well-known  trigger  for  gold  deposition  in  many  Archean  gold  deposits  in 
Western Australia. 

Bombora Deeps Overview 

Drilling  below  the  1Moz  open  pit  Resource#  at  Bombora  has  discovered  new  lodes,  and  materially 
extended others at grades typically amenable to underground mining.   

These results increased the strike length of high-grade gold lodes below the open pit Resource by 600m 
to 2,000m that extend to a maximum depth of 600 metres below surface.  None of this is in the existing 
open pit Resource, which is defined to a variable depth of 180m to 300m below surface.  The physical 
dimension of some of the flat and west lode systems is in excess of 1km-long.

Kopai-Crescent Overview 

The Kopai-Crescent area is an emerging discovery.  The first meaningful RC drilling to the north of Crescent 
intersected significant gold up to 4g/t5 over a very large area.  Follow-up results indicate a likely link between 
the Kopai and Crescent Prospects and point to a new 2km-long zone of mineralisation (Figure 5). 

The  objective  of  the  RC  drilling  currently  underway  is  to  establish  the  areal  extent  and  nature  of  the 
mineralisation prior to targeting the main structures controlling the high-grade gold.

Carbineer Overview 

The Carbineer Prospect is part of a 300m-wide, north-trending corridor between the Claypan Shear Zone 
and  Swan  Lake  Syenite,  400m  east  of  the  Bombora  deposit  (Figures  1  &  7).    A  maiden  14-hole 
reconnaissance RC drilling program was completed in June 2020 to test an anomalous zone of gold and 
pathfinder anomalism defined by aircore drilling.   

The first three drill holes of this program returned high-grade gold of up to 4m at 21.79g/t Au6 in a new unit 
of quartz dolerite which has the potential to translate into a 1km extension to the north (Figure 6). 

The remaining eleven wide-spaced reconnaissance drill holes (1,608m) returned anomalous gold of up 
to 0.41g/t Au7 on each of the four drill lines situated along the western contact of the Swan Lake Syenite 
(Figure 6).   

Figure 6: Carbineer Prospect Drill Hole Location Plan 

The anomalous gold is accompanied by widespread magnetite-rich alteration and local shearing and 
quartz veining in all rock types near the margin of the Swan Lake Syenite (intermingled dolerite, basalt 
and syenite).

Review of Activities 

Implications of New Carbineer Results 

The Carbineer results are potentially significant for several reasons: 

(i)  Carbineer is part of a 12km-long corridor between the Claypan Shear (East Branch) and the sheared 
western contact of the Swan Lake Syenite, and includes the Claypan Prospect and several other 
unnamed targets (Figure 7);  

(ii)  Syenite-associated magnetite alteration along this contact is extensive; 
(iii)  Magnetite  is  a  key  catalyst  for  triggering  gold  mineralisation  at  many  deposits,  including  the 

Bombora, Golden Mile and Wallaby gold deposits; 

(iv)  RC drilling within the syenite is limited but significant gold has previously been intersected in several 

areas near the contact (eg. Claypan Prospect; Figures 1 & 7A); and 

(v)  End-of-hole aircore samples in the 12km corridor are anomalous in gold (Figure 7B), silver and many 
gold pathfinder elements including molybdenum, tungsten, barium and lead, a similar geochemical 
signature to the 8Moz Wallaby gold deposit, near Laverton, Western Australia.

Aircore Drilling 

A total of 42,575m of regional geochemical aircore drilling was undertaken in the period June 2019 to 
November 2019 in preparation for follow-up RC and diamond drilling, which started in December 2020.  
This drilling included some sterilisation drilling (186 holes for 7,195m) in areas of potential mine infrastructure, 
and a further 31 holes (677m) to assess potential water sources for processing and camp requirements.

Review of Activities 

The aircore drilling was conducted on typical drill line spacings of 100m or 200m (up to 2.8km) with typical 
drill hole spacing of 40m or 80m (up to 160m).  All holes were drilled to refusal with each hole sampled 
continuously  downhole  for  gold,  and  multi-element  geochemistry  conducted  on  each  relatively  fresh 
end-of-hole sample. The aircore drilling returned positive results on several fronts.   

The aircore drilling had several highlights that are briefly summarised below: 

  The results extended the overall strike length of the camp-scale Lake Roe oxide gold anomaly, to least 
9.5km, with further anomalism on a wide drill hole spacing along the western contact of the Swan Lake 
Syenite, which may extend this to 15km (Figure 8); 

  At  the  Kopai  Prospect,  3km  north  of  Bombora,  the  drilling  outlined  a  400m-long  zone  of  >1.0g/t  Au 

bedrock gold with bedrock gold results up to 3.46g/t Au9; 

  At  the  Claypan  Prospect,  1.3km  south-east  of  Bombora  deposit,  the  drilling  identified  a  2.5km-long 

anomaly associated with new quartz dolerite with results up to 4m @ 2.75g/t and 3m @ 2.66g/t Au)10; 

  The  aircore  drilling  encountered  end-of-hole  gold  and  pathfinder  anomalism  along  a  12km  corridor 

along the western contact of the Swan Lake Syenite.

Lake Roe Pre-Feasibility Study 

The  Lake  Roe  Project  is  on  a  granted  mining  lease.    Environmental,  geotechnical,  hydrological  and 
metallurgical studies undertaken to date do not highlight any impediments to development. 

Pre-feasibility activities during 2019/20 included: 

  ongoing resource modelling; 
  metallurgical and processing studies; 
  sterilisation drilling in areas of proposed infrastructure; 
  groundwater studies; 
  waste rock characterisation studies; 
  heritage studies; and 
  aquatic ecology studies. 

The PFS was deferred subsequent to the strategic review undertaken in October/November 2019.  Breaker 
decided defer the PFS to continue drilling to grow the resource and expand and de-risk the Company’s 
development options. 

Manna Lithium Prospect 

The Manna Prospect is located approximately 15km south of Bombora and outcropping lithium-bearing 
pegmatite was discovered in the area in early 2018.  First-pass rock-chip sampling identified widespread 
enrichment  in  lithium  (up  to  3.81%  Li2O),  tantalum  (up  to  366ppm  Ta2O5)  and  niobium  (up  to  251ppm 
Nb2O5) and strong evidence of chemical zoning12.  Mapping and sampling during 2018/19 confirmed the 
presence of a spodumene-rich, lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite system over a 3.4km x 1km area; 
an area which is constrained by outcrop limits and the extent of sampling. 

Four diamond holes were drilled at Manna in June 2019 to provide samples for preliminary metallurgical 
testwork, involving an assessment of the amenability of the spodumene-rich mineralisation to upgrade to 
a lithium concentrate by heavy liquid separation.  The results were reported during 2019/20. 

The holes intercepted coarse-grained, spodumene-bearing pegmatite intervals as expected (Photo 2).  
Significant lithium results are shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9:  Manna Lithium Prospect Drill Hole Location Plan12 

Photo 2: Manna Lithium Prospect - BMDD0001 41.40-45.01m (Wet)13 

Mineralogy analysis indicates that lithium in the sampled lithologies in the Manna deposit is characterised 
by the presence of spodumene in isolation.   The Manna pegmatite appears to contain relatively low iron 
and typical levels of feldspar-associated sodium and potassium that are generally removed by heavy 
media separation. The feldspar minerals represent the principal source of alkali contaminants. Clinochlore 
and garnet carry most of the contaminant iron in the material. 

Although preliminary in nature, the test program suggests the Manna lithium deposit has the potential to 
produce high grade, low impurity spodumene concentrates.  

Other Exploration 

The  Ularring  Rock  project  is  located  100km  east  of  Perth.    The  project  covers  the  Centre  Forest  and 
Southern  Brook  gold-copper  prospects,  where  historic  RC  drill intercepts  of  copper-gold  mineralisation 
include 61m @ 0.83g/t Au, and 37m @ 0.72g/t Au and 0.26% Cu. 

2019/20 activities were primarily focused on field reconnaissance and evaluation.  The Company plans 
to undertake some reconnaissance drilling at the earliest opportunity to evaluate several gold-copper, 
tungsten and platinum group element-nickel targets identified.

Review of Activities 

As at 30 June 2020, the Company held approximately 908km2 of tenements comprising a granted mining 
lease at Lake Roe, as well as nine granted exploration licences across the Lake Roe and Ularring Rock 
Project areas. 

Review of Corporate Activities 

On 4 October 2019, and following the receipt of several unsolicited enquiries from corporate and other 
entities, the Company advised of a decision to undertake a strategic review of all options available to 
accelerate unlocking of value from the Lake Roe Gold Project.  The review process considered a range 
of potential partnering, funding and other asset initiatives, with a focus on maximising shareholder value. 

The  strategic  review  was  completed  in  mid-November  2019,  at  which  time  Breaker  announced  the 
objective  of  expanding  the  Lake  Roe  Resource  base  through  further  drilling  and  an  $8million  share 
placement to Electrum Strategic Opportunities Fund II LP (Electrum), a major US-based private equity fund 
focused on precious metals.  The placement, consisting of 23,015,211 newly issued shares was undertaken 
at $0.35 per share. 

On 6 September 2019 the Company announced a call on its partly paid shares (ASX: BRBCA) of $0.19 
representing the balance of monies owed on the shares.  The call was due and payable on 4 October 
2019.  Partly paid shares on which the call remain unpaid were forfeited on 18 October 2019 and a public 
auction was held on 14 November 2019.  All forfeited partly paid shares were sold at the auction. 

A  total  of  4,200,000  unlisted  options  were  issued  to  personnel  during  the  year  under  the  Company’s 
Incentive Option Scheme.  4,900,000 options lapsed or expired.

Significant Changes in State of Affairs 

During the financial year there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company other 
than those referred to in the Financial Statements and notes thereto. 

Subsequent Events 

On  30  July  2020  the  Company  announced  a  $23  million  capital  raising  comprising  a  two  tranche 
placement  to  institutional  and  sophisticated  investors,  a  placement  to  existing  major  shareholder 
Electrum Strategic Opportunities Fund II LP (Electrum) and a share purchase plan (SPP).  The issue price of 
the capital raising was $0.24.  The issue of shares associated with the first tranche of the placement took 
place on 5 August 2020.  The issue of shares to participants in the second tranche of the placement and 
to Electrum, is subject to shareholder approval at the annual general meeting expected to be held on 
17 September 2020.  The SPP opened on 7 August 2020 and the indicative closing date is 9 September 
2020. 

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while there has been no material 
impact on the Company’s financial position and operation up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to 
estimate  the  potential  impact,  positive  or  negative,  after  the  reporting  date.  The  situation  is  rapidly 
developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the WA and Australian Governments and other 
countries,  such  as  maintaining  social  distancing  requirements,  quarantine,  travel  restrictions  and  any 
economic stimulus that may be provided. 

There  were  no  other  matters  or  circumstances  arising since  the end  of  the reporting  period  that  have 
significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Company and the results of those 
operations or the state of the affairs of the Company in the financial period subsequent to 30 June 2020.   

Likely Developments and Expected Results 

The Company expects to maintain a similar status and level of activities to that at present and hence 
there are no likely developments in the entity's operations. 

Environmental Regulations and Performance 

Breaker  is  subject  to  significant  environmental  regulation  in  respect  to  its  exploration  activities.    The 
Company aims to ensure that the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved, and in doing 
so, that it is aware of and is in compliance with all environmental legislation.  The directors of the Company 
are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for the year under review.

Directors’ Report 

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. 

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 $192,000 per annum.  The base fee paid to non-executive directors is $48,000 
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements  

Notes to the Financial Statements 
for the Year ended 30 June 2020 

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  13  August 
2020.  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  Directors  have  considered  the  impact  of  the  COVID-19 
pandemic on the position of the Company at 30 June 2020 and its operations in future periods. 

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 

Amendments to Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for the current year 

i. 
The Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the 
AASB that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current year.  

2020 Annual Report  33 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements  

AASB 16 Leases 
AASB 16 introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. It introduces 
significant  changes  to  lessee  accounting  by  removing  the  distinction  between  operating  and 
finance  lease  and  requiring  the  recognition  of  a  right-of-use  asset  and  a  lease  liability  at 
commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. Under 
AASB 16, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities need to be recognised in the Statement of Financial 
Position, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. Depreciation of right-
of-use  assets  and  interest  on  lease  liabilities  will  subsequently  be  recognised  in  profit  or  loss 
accounts. 

The adoption of  AASB 16 has not had material impact on the Company’s financial position and 
performance as it did not have operating leases with terms over 12 months during the period. 

AASB 2018-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2015-2017 
Cycle 
-  AASB  112  Income  Taxes  –  The  amendments  clarify  that  the  Company  should  recognise  the 
income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity 
according to where the Company originally recognised the transactions that generated the 
distributable  profits.  This  is  the  case  irrespective  of  whether  different  tax  rates  apply  to 
distributed and undistributed profits; 

-  AASB  123  Borrowing  Cost  –  The  amendments  clarify  that  if  any  specific  borrowing  remains 
outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes 
part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating the capitalisation rate on 
general borrowings; 

-  AASB 3 Business Combinations – The amendments clarify when the Company obtains control 

of a business that is a joint operation; 

-  AASB 11 Joint Arrangements – The amendments clarify that when a party that participates in, 
but does not have joint control of, a joint operation that is a business, obtains joint control of 
such  a  joint  operation,  the  group  does  not  remeasure  its  previously  held  interest  in  the  joint 
operation.  

Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments; AASB 2017-4 Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments 
The Company has adopted Interpretation 23 for the first time in the current year. Interpretation 23 
sets out how to determine the accounting tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax 
treatments.  

The  Interpretation  requires  an  entity  to  determine  whether  uncertain  tax  positions  are  assessed 
separately  or  as  a  group;  and  assess  whether  it  is  probable  that  a  tax  authority  will  accept  an 
uncertain tax treatment used, or proposed to be used, by an entity in its income tax filings. 

New and revised Accounting Standards in issue not yet adopted  

ii. 
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  2014-10  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  standards  –  Sale  or  Contribution  of  Assets 
between  an  investor  and  its  Associates  or  Joint  Venture  [AASB  10  &  AASB  128],  AASB  2015-10

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

2020 Annual Report  35 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements  

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 non-financial assets 
At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the  Company  reviews  the  carrying  amounts  of  its  non-
financial  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  and  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. 

(i)   

(j)   

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. 

Financial assets 
There are three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortised cost, 
at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and at fair value through profit and 
loss (FVTPL). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which 
a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics.

Notes to the Financial Statements  

Impairment 
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an expected credit loss in relation 
to  the  impairment  of  financial  assets.  The  Company  accounts  for  expected  credit  losses  and 
changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk 
since initial recognition of the financial assets.  

(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. 

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. 

2020 Annual Report  37 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements  

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 17). 

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). 

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:

Notes to the Financial Statements  

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. 

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. 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had, 
or may have, on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of business, supply 
chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the entity operates. Other than as addressed in 
specific  notes,  there  does  not  currently  appear  to  be  either  any  significant  impact  upon  the 
Financial Statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may 
impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result 
of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

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 Board via the audit and risk committees as the Company believes 
that it is crucial for 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 $3,643,184 (2019: $4,925,956) is 
subject  to  interest  rate  risk.    The  weighted  average  interest  rate  received  on  cash  and  cash 
equivalents by the Company was 0.39% (2019: 1.71%). 

Sensitivity analysis 
At 30 June 2020, 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  $42,846  lower/higher (2019:  $50,497)  as  a  result  of  lower/higher interest  income  from  cash 
and cash equivalents.

Notes to the Financial Statements  

(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. 

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.

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.

Breaker Resources NL is considered a base rate entity for income tax purposes for the 2020 income year 
and is therefore subject to income tax at a rate of 27.5% (2019: 30%).  As a result, the deferred tax assets 
of  the  Company  have  been  adjusted  in  the  2020  year  to  reflect  the  decrease  in  corporate  tax  rate 
applicable to the Company.

Notes to the Financial Statements  

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.

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 $0.150 and 
$0.465 and expire between 31 December 2021 and 15 May 2023. 

(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 (excluding any amounts paid 
up in advance of a call).  Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a 
limited amount of authorised capital. 

(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. 

The working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 is as follows:

As  the  Company  has  made  a  loss  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2020,  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. 

15.  Commitments 

(a)  

Exploration Commitments 
The  Company  must  maintain  current  rights  of  tenure  to  tenements,  which  requires  outlays  of 
expenditure  in  2020/21.    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.

expense and charged to profit or loss accounts under the new AASB 16.

payable as follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements  

The weighted average fair value of the employee share options granted during the year was 8.80 
cents (2019: 16.76 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.

21.  Subsequent events 

On  30  July  2020  the  Company  announced  a  $23  million  capital  raising  comprising  a  two  tranche 
placement  to  institutional  and  sophisticated  investors,  a  placement  to  existing  major  shareholder 
Electrum and a SPP.  The issue price of the capital raising was $0.24.  The issue of shares associated with 
the first tranche of the placement took place on 5 August 2020.  The issue of shares to participants in the 
second  tranche  of  the  placement  and  to  Electrum,  is  subject  to  shareholder  approval  at  the  annual 
general meeting expected to be held on 17 September 2020.  The SPP opened on 7 August 2020 and the 
indicative closing date is 9 September 2020. 

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and while there has been no material impact on the 
Company’s  financial  position  and  operation  up  to  30  June  2020,  it  is  not  practicable  to  estimate  the 
potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is 
dependent on measures imposed by the WA and Australian Governments and other countries, such as 
maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that 
may be provided. 

There  were  no  other  matters  or  circumstances  arising since  the end  of  the reporting  period  that  have 
significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Company and the results of those 
operations or the state of the affairs of the Company in the financial period subsequent to 30 June 2020.
