REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The principal activities of the Company are mineral exploration and open pit mine development in the North-Eastern and Eastern
Goldfields of Western Australia. The Company is targeting the discovery of large structurally controlled Archaean Lode gold or
Orogenic gold mineralisation such as the economically significant Jundee, Bronzewing, Cockburn-Lotus, Centenary-Darlot and
Kanowna Belle gold deposits located nearby.

Yandal
Greenstone
Belt
Exploration programs during the year continued to focus on advancing the development of our flagship Flushing Meadows gold
deposit in the Yandal Greenstone Belt. Work has progressed rapidly at this prospect in preparation of a robust feasibility study and
oxide open pit mining approvals which are anticipated in 2021.
Within the broader exploration portfolio a number of early stage reverse circulation (“RC”) and Air-core (“AC”) drilling programs
returned promising results worthy of follow-up at the Barty, Flushing Meadows North and Flinders Park prospects within the Ironstone
Well and Barwidgee project.
Near Kalgoorlie the Gordons Dam prospect has increased in importance for the Company and a maiden shallow Mineral Resource
Estimate (“MRE”) is expected to be compiled in late 2020. Further aggressive exploration is warranted as the current mineralisation
is open in most directions.
Ironstone Well and Barwidgee Projects
The majority of exploration drilling was again completed at the Flushing Meadows prospect with smaller reconnaissance programs
completed at the Flushing Meadows North, Flushing Meadows South, Flinders Park, Barty and Woolshed Well prospects.
The Flushing Meadows exploration programs were completed to infill RC drill the 2019 MRE in order to convert Inferred Resources to
Indicated Resources, provide further quality assurance and quality control data and test a number of specific deeper targets. The
current MRE is summarised in the table below and the updated MRE is expected to be complete in the December Quarter 2020.

• Refer Competent Persons Statement at the end of the Operations Report.
The MRE contains a higher-grade component of 2.8Mt @ 1.63g/t Au for 147,000oz (> 1.0g/t Au lower cut-off grade) with numerous
mineralisation envelopes open at depth. The majority of the MRE reports to the Inferred Resource Category and it is likely that with
infill drilling to nominal spacing of 20-25m a large portion could be upgraded to the higher confidence Indicated Resource Category.
Diamond drilling was completed late in the year and has provided high quality data for geotechnical, geological and hydrogeological
monitoring. The data once fully assessed will be used to create a robust open pit mine design, Mining Proposal and Mine Closure Plan
as part of the approval process.
The Flushing Meadows prospect is located within the Kultju (Aboriginal Corporation) RNTBC (“Kultju”), Kultju Determination. The
Kultju Aboriginal Corporation is an incorporated body under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (Cth)
and is the Registered Native Title Body Corporate determined to hold native title rights and interests on trust for the Kultju Native
Title Holders. Central Desert Native Title Services Limited (“Central Desert”) has been authorised by Kultju Aboriginal Corporation to
act as its agent in regards to land access negotiations and agreements.
The Company is in the early stages of engagement with Central Desert, the Shire of Wiluna and the Department of Mines, Industry,
Regulation and Safety to work towards the completion of all statutory approvals to mine.
The Company’s strategy going forward at the project is to target further shallow mineralisation with potential for conversion to
Resources such as the known mineralisation at the Quarter Moon, Oblique and Sims Find prospects. Additional exploration funds for
auger and reconnaissance AC drilling will be also be directed towards new grass roots discoveries such as Barty.
Key exploration activities completed during the year at the Ironstone Well and Barwidgee project included;
•
Infill RC and diamond drilling at Flushing Meadows to improve geological confidence and assess potential at depth.
Metallurgical, geotechnical, hydrogeological, engineering and environmental studies for feasibility studies were also
commenced;
• New Mining and Miscellaneous Licences were applied for as part of the Flushing Meadows development;
• Reconnaissance AC and RC drilling at the Flushing Meadows North/South Flinders Park, Woolshed Well, Copan and Barty
prospects;
• Auger soil sampling at Barty.

Mt McClure Project
The Mt McClure project contains a number of historic prospects and open pit mines within a short haulage distance on existing haul
roads from the 2Mtpa Bronzewing processing facility owned by Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST). During the year, exploration
activities were focussed on updating the historic database, defining new exploration targets, Mining Lease applications, assessment
of the potential for the definition of Mineral Resources and preparation of drill sites.

There is potential to define new mineralisation capable of being included in a MRE upon all three Mining Leases and significant RC
drill programs are in the advanced planning stages. All the historic open pits were mined when gold prices were substantially lower
than price ranges seen in recent months. The Bronzewing processing facility is currently on care and maintenance however the project
should grow in importance should a decision to resume milling be made.
Gordons Gold Project
The Gordons Gold project comprises a number of priority prospects within close proximity to the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, ore
haulage infrastructure and operating mines. During the year the Company completed a number of very successful AC and RC drilling
programs at the Gordons Dam prospect as has defined significant mineralisation that remains open in most directions. A maiden MRE
is due for completion in 2020 in order to assess the economic importance of the discovery.

Gordons Dam mineralisation is contained within clays and palaeochannel sediments over a 400m strike zone and within structurally
controlled felsic porphyry and mafic rocks at depth. Some important RC intercepts to be included in a maiden MRE include;
▪ 1m @ 5.27g/t Au within 9m @ 0.72g/t Au from 32m (YRLRC0301)

▪ 4m @ 13.16g/t Au from 35m (KESGR1321)
▪ 10m @ 3.98g/t Au from 32m (KESGR1323)
▪ 5m @ 4.79g/t Au from 36m (KESGR1340)
▪ 4m @ 11.80g/t Au within 10m @ 6.02g/t Au from 30m (KESGR1345)
(Refer to Yandal Resources Ltd announcement dated 6 May 2019).
Limited RC drilling to explore for the primary source of the sediment hosted mineralisation has returned some narrow high grade
intercepts and broader low grade intercepts related to haematite, pyrite, sericite and chlorite altered porphyry rocks which have a
similar alteration assemblage to known deposits in the area.
Substantial further exploration including diamond drilling is warranted at this prospect to understand the economic importance of
the discovery to the Company.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
In the opinion of the Directors it would prejudice the interests of the Company to provide additional information, beyond that reported
in this Annual Report, relating to likely developments in the operations and the expected results of those operations in financial years
ended subsequent to 30 June 2020.
COVID-19 IMPACT
The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve at the date of this report. The Company is therefore uncertain as to
the full impact that the pandemic will have on its financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations during 2020 or 2021.
Management continues to actively monitor the global situation and its impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity,
operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb
its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition
or liquidity for the 2020/21 financial year.
The health and wellbeing of all Yandal employees remain a key focus in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The work
practices and measures implemented to mitigate COVID-19 related risks have so far proven successful with no known COVID-19 cases
across our workforce and minimal disruption to our operations to date.
DIVIDENDS
No amount has been paid or declared by way of dividend. The Directors do not recommend that any dividend be paid.

Remuneration Report (Audited)
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
A Principles Used to Determine Amount and Nature of Remuneration
All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares given to Directors and
Executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the Director or Executive.
Options are valued using the Black-Scholes or Binomial methodologies.
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 at the annual general meeting (currently
$300,000). 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 employee option
plans.
The objective of the Company’s executive reward framework is set to attract and retain the most qualified and experienced Directors
and Senior Executives. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following criteria for good reward governance practices:
•
•
•
•
competitiveness and reasonableness
acceptability to shareholders
transparency
capital management
Directors’ Fees
A Director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise
performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. A Director may also be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses
incurred as a result of their directorship or any special duties.
Performance Based Remuneration
The Company uses both short term and long term incentive programs to balance the short and long term aspects of business
performance, to reflect market practice, to attract and retain key talent and to ensure a strong alignment between the incentive
arrangements of Executives and the creation and delivery of shareholder return.
Executives are encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company and it is therefore the Company’s objective to provide
incentives for participants to partake in the future growth of the Company and, upon becoming shareholders in the Company, to
participate in the Company’s profits and dividends that may be realised in future years. The Board considers that this equity
performance linked remuneration structure is effective in aligning the long-term interests of Company executives and shareholders
as there exists a direct correlation between shareholder wealth and executive remuneration.
Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, Directors and Executives. This is
facilitated through the issue of options or performance rights to Directors and Executives to encourage the alignment of personal and
shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION
These financial statements and notes represent those of Yandal Resources Limited (the “Company” or “Entity”). Yandal Resources
Limited is a Company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
(a) Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing
relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. The financial statements and notes also comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards,
Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and
the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the
measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Material accounting policies adopted
in preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The
presentation currency is Australian dollars.
New accounting standards and interpretations
The Company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are
mandatory for the current reporting period. These Standards and Interpretations did not have any material impact on these financial
statements. Details of the impact of adoption of AASB 16 Leases are detailed in Note 1p and Note 22.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not
been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020.
The Company has reviewed the new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended
30 June 2020. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and
revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Company accounting policies.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of IFRS, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis
of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the
period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the
revision affects both current and future periods.
i) Significant accounting judgements
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those
involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure
The Company has capitalised significant exploration and evaluation expenditure on the basis either that this is expected to be
recouped through future successful developments (or alternatively sale) of the Areas of Interest concerned or on the basis that it
is not yet possible to assess whether it will be recouped. As at 30 June 2020, the carrying value of capitalised exploration
expenditure is $4,506,326.
ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key
estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets
and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:
(a) Significant accounting policies (continued)
ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)
Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including
whether the Company decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration
and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs
of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and
changes to commodity prices.
(b) Income Tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the notional
income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are
recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The
relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred
tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability.
No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a
business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
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 those temporary differences and losses.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It
is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change
will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to
enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
(c) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for
doubtful debts. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision
for bad debts is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according
to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
(d) Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year and which
are unpaid, together with assets ordered before the end of the financial year. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within
30 days of recognition.
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with
financial institutions and other short-term, highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(f) Comparative Figures
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the presentation in the current year.
(g) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised
cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan
facilities, which are not incremental costs relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and
amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the reporting date.
(h) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated goods and services tax (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.
(i) Contributed Equity
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 from the proceeds.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost
of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, eg as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and
the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income and the consideration paid
including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.
(j) Impairment of Assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. 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. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash
inflows which are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial
assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(k) Earnings per Share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary
shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the
after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted
average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(l) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only
carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities
in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the economically recoverable reserves.
(l) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure (continued)
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against operating results in the year in which the decision
to abandon the area is made. When production commences the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are classified as
development costs and amortised over the life of the project area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable
reserves.
Where independent valuations of areas of interest have been obtained, these are brought to account. Subsequent expenditure on re-
valued areas of interest is accounted for in accordance with the above principles. A regular review is undertaken of each area of
interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
At 30 June 2020 the Directors considered that the carrying value of the mineral tenement interests of the consolidated entity was as
shown in the Statement of Financial Position and no further impairment arises other than that already recognised.
(m) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns,
trade allowances and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised for major business activities as follows:
(i) Interest Income
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
(ii) Other Services
Other debtors are recognised at the amount receivable and are due for settlement within 30 days from the end of the month
in which services were provided.
(n) Share-Based Payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Company’s Employee Incentive Plans. The incentive plans
consist of the short term and long term incentive plans for Executive Directors and other Executives and the employee share scheme
for all other employees.
The fair value of rights granted under the short term and long term incentive plans is recognised as an employee benefits expense
with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the rights
granted, which includes any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but excludes the impact of
any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.
Non-market vesting conditions and the impact of service conditions are included in assumptions about the number of rights that are
expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting
conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of rights that are expected to
vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in
the statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
The initial estimate of fair value for market based and non-vesting conditions is not subsequently adjusted for differences between
the number of rights granted and number of rights that vest.
When the rights are exercised, the appropriate amount of shares are transferred to the employee. The proceeds received net of any
directly attributable transaction costs are credited directly to equity.
The fair value of deferred shares granted to employees for nil consideration under the employee share scheme is recognised as an
expense over the relevant service period, being the year to which the incentive relates and the vesting period of the shares. The fair
value is measured at the grant date of the shares and is recognised in equity in the share-based payment reserve. The number of
shares expected to vest is estimated based on the non-market vesting conditions. The estimates are revised at the end of each
reporting period and adjustments are recognised in profit or loss and the share-based payment reserve.
(o) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions.
The standard requires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for
internal reporting purposes. The segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker.
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur
expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. All operating
segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Managing Director to make decisions about resources to be
allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
Segment results that are reported to the Managing Director include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can
be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company’s headquarters), head
office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible
assets other than goodwill.
(p) Leases
AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases. AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases-for the
lessee – effectively treating all leases as finance leases. AASB 16 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July
2019.
Impact on operating leases
AASB 16 will change how the Company accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under AASB 117, which were off-
balance sheet. On initial application of AASB 16, for all leases (except as noted below), the Company will:
• Recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position, initially measured at the
present value of the future lease payments.
• Recognise depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
•
Separate the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) and interest (presented
within operating activities) in the consolidated cash flow statement.
Lease incentives (e.g. rent-free period) will be recognised as part of the measurement of the right- of-use assets and lease liabilities
whereas under AASB 117 they resulted in the recognition of a lease liability incentive, amortised as a reduction of rental expenses on
a straight-line basis.
Under AASB 16, right-of-use assets will be tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. This will replace
the previous requirement to recognise a provision for onerous lease contracts.
For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and office
furniture), the Company will opt to recognise a lease expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by AASB 16.
The Company has applied AASB 16 retrospectively with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial
application, being 1 July 2019.
There is no material impact to profit or loss or net assets on the adoption of this new standard in the current or comparative periods,
refer to Note 22 for further detail.

Basic Earnings/(Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is determined by dividing the loss after income tax
attributable to members of Yandal Resources Limited by the weighted average number
of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for any bonus
elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
Diluted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic
earnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any
change in earnings per share that will probably arise from the exercise of options
outstanding during the financial year.
Where options exercise prices are above market values (out of the money), no dilutive
impact arises as it increases the loss per share.

The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. The Company does not have any borrowings.
The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund the Company’s operations.
The main risks arising from the Company are credit risk, capital risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees
policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:
(a) Credit risk
Management does not actively manage credit risk.
The Company has no significant exposure to credit risk from external parties at year end. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the
reporting date is equal to the carrying value of financial assets at 30 June 2020.
Cash at bank is held with internationally regulated banks.
Other receivables are of a low value and all amounts are current.
20 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES (continued)
(b) Capital risk
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can
continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to
reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid
to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
(c) Liquidity risk
Maturity profile of financial instruments
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to equity funding.
The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to cash assets and floating interest rates. The
Company does not have significant interest-bearing assets and is not materially exposed to changes in market interest rates.
The Directors monitor the cash-burn rate of the Company on an on-going basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial
assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk.
The following table sets out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the financial instruments including exposure to interest rate risk:
