African Gold Ltd - Financial Report Half year ended 30 June 2021
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the half year ended 30 June 2021
1 Corporate information
African Gold Ltd (the “Company” or “African Gold”) is a for-profit for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Australia and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 14 February 2019. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the half year ended 30 June 2021 (“Half Year”) comprise the Company and the entities it controlled (the “Group”).
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group is to conduct exploration and evaluation activities in Cote D’Ivoire and Mali.
The address of its registered office and its principal place of business is Suite 23, 513 Hay Street, Subiaco WA 6008.
The condensed financial statements for the period six months ended 30 June 2021 were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 13[th] September 2021.
2 Basis of presentation and statement of compliance
The interim financial statements for the Half Year have been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 and any public announcements made by the Company during the Half Year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.
Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the last annual financial statements.
Going concern
At 30 June 2021, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $474,624 (31 December 2020: $1,467,417). The Group incurred a net loss of $896,604 (30 June 2020: $417,912) and had cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $2,094,268 during the half year ended 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: $1,016,838). The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of the necessary funding through disposal of assets, equity and/or debt and the successful exploitation of the Group’s tenements.
The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis because the Directors have appropriate plans to raise additional funds (refer Note 9).
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group can meet its commitments as and when they fall due and can therefore continue normal business activities and the realisation of its assets and settlement of its liabilities can occur in the ordinary course of business.
In the event the Group is not able to achieve the above requirements, there is uncertainty whether the Group will continue as a going concern and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in its financial report.

The Group is required to meet minimum expenditure commitments in relation to its tenements and keep them in good standing. The exploration commitments shown below are the Group’s estimated exploration expenditure on its tenements based on proposed work programs submitted to the government mining departments in Mali and Ivory Coast as at the date of this report. The commitments below exceed the minimum expenditure to keep the tenements in good standing and assume any currently pending tenement renewals are granted.
A total expense of $24,000 (2020: $12,000) was recognised during the period under a serviced office agreement.

Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
