Annual Report
Chair’s Letter
Dear Shareholders
Last year’s key achievement was to convert our Andrade copper project into an indicated resource category and establish it as part of our growing pipeline of copper and phosphate projects which now have a combined net present value (NPV) of $182 million.
Our focus had been primarily on advancing the final permitting for the Três Estradas Phosphate Project, or the TEPP, so we can advance to the construction phase. We are continuing to advance the TEPP irrespective of the reported federal court action which commenced in late June and has caused some obvious delays to final permitting. This unexpected legal challenge to the TEPP is in our view without merit, however it caused us to bring forward plans to expand our copper activities, fortuitously, at a time of unprecedented world-wide demand for copper, which many analysts and economists predict does not have a foreseeable end-date. You can expect to see a strong focus on copper exploration and project development in our activities from now on, be it on drilling or reporting on the technical and environmental work being undertaken as we advance through permitting to production.
Over the past year we have continued to strengthen the foundations of the company through further geological exploration and the advancing and testing of environmentally friendly technologies applied to mining. These initiatives have been complemented by improved governance, more streamlined administrative systems, and financial management processes. We have also continued to strengthen our communication at a government level as evidenced by Aguia’s recent appointment to a prestigious Brazilian Federal Government Committee tasked with tackling bureaucratic bottle necks which hamper business progress.
Significantly, we have also continued to build on our asset base. We currently hold 14,112 hectares of phosphate tenements in Rio Grande Do Sul (RS) state. Our copper leases expanded in size by 37,451 hectares to a total of 81,700 hectares as reported in December 2020.
The Board’s previous strategy to focus on phosphate production as the fastest route to earnings to ultimately fund the copper has of necessity been revised. In short both the TEPP and Andrade projects will now effectively be advanced, as appropriate, in tandem.
Andrade Copper Project
To better understand Aguia’s copper assets, it is worthwhile providing some context around the genesis of the copper mineralization in the Rio Grande Copper Belt. The rocks covered by Aguia’s mineral rights evolved at least half a billion years ago when the land mass we now call South America was still joined to Africa. This ancient land mass referred to as Gondwana contains an area which is now famously known as the Kalahari Copper Belt. It is an area renowned for its prolific output of copper over the past 60 years. Geological studies have revealed unique and striking similarities in the geology of the Kalahari to that of Southern Brazil and in particular the Rio Grande Copper Belt. Over the same period, Southern Brazil did not attract the level of investment necessary to fund continuous exploration with the exception of Aguia’s recent exploration efforts and sporadic investments in the past year by both junior and major minerals exploration companies. The only exception has been the Campaquã Mine, now exhausted, which is located in the Rio Grande Copper Belt and was mined continuously for 100 years.
Let me recap on some of the strategic advantages Aguia now has with respect to its copper assets. For a start, we have over 80,000 hectares of tenements in the middle of highly developed infrastructure and in close proximity to one of the largest ports in South America. We have a current mineral resource in conformity with JORC Code 2012, in the Indicated Resource category of 18.03Mt at 0.41% Cu and 1.87% g/t Ag and an Inferred Resource of 3.98Mt Cu at 0.53% and 2.06 g/t Ag. And finally, we have a viable and cost-effective means of production which has been independently assessed.
Over the next year and beyond our focus on advancing the copper assets will be as follows: Firstly, we intend to progress our ongoing drilling program beginning with an infill drilling program at the Andrade deposit. To be able to issue the Scoping Study earlier this year it was necessary to demonstrate that our copper Mineral Resource had moved from 100% Inferred to a mineral resource that is predominantly in the Indicated category. We were permitted to announce this partly off the back of some very limited, but highly successful copper drilling we undertook at Andrade in the February of 2020. The Copper Scoping Study is a turning point for Aguia. We have a viable production plan signed off by an independent engineering company with projected IRR of 43.5% and an NPV of $108m. Our immediate goal is to increase the tonnage and grade of the copper resource through an infill drilling program as we progress the environmental permitting.

Annual Report
Secondly, we have already commenced research and testing to put in place world-class cost-effective copper processing techniques potentially including bio-leaching. As a result of these activities, we expect to be in a position to release updated Andrade Copper Scoping Studies as work progresses. Finally, we will continue our copper exploration in the Rio Grande Copper belt where we expect to soon announce an expansion of our copper targets from 7 to 9. If you include Andrade we will have 10 copper targets.
Três Estradas Phosphate Project
Unfortunately, it is a fact that mining companies all over the world often receive legal challenges related to environmental permitting issues. And this can even happen, as is the case with Aguia, when the project has excellent environmental credentials. In late June we became aware of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor’s legal challenge to remedy so called ‘deficiencies’ in our environmental permit. As the matter is before the courts, we are not in a position to comment further at this time, but we do once again stress that there is no allegation of corruption against Aguia despite the perception that the environmental agency FEPAM was joined as a defendant. For the record there is no allegation of corruption against FEPAM either. The Federal Public Prosecutor is claiming that both Aguia and FEPAM’s technical work in granting the LP (preliminary licence) for the project was “deficient.” The case is not based on law but on disputed facts relating to the technical proficiency of our work, for which we used world class environmental mining consultants, and that of FEPAM, the State Authority where the Government’s technical environmental expertise resides. Together with our expert consultants, we worked closely with FEPAM during the environmental permitting process and accepted FEPAM’s guidance on how to correctly and precisely comply with the requisite environmental regulation in which they, FEPPAM, as the regulator, obviously have considerable, if not absolute expertise.
Nonetheless we can truly speak of our TEPP phosphate project as a ‘zero-zero-zero’ mining project where no additional water will be used; no carbon emission will be created, and the energy will come from the sun. Our Pampafos® product which we will produce is an organic product. We know of no other mine in the world that can confidently make such a claim. This fantastic outcome was from our own environmental vision for the TEPP and is completely and absolutely in addition to any environmental regulatory requirements. We stand by the integrity of our team as well as the expertise of our internationally renowned technical consultants.
During the year Aguia was also fortunate to receive approval, subject to meeting conditions precedent, of a loan from the Brazilian Development Bank for R$15 million, which is approximately equivalent to 50% of the capital required to fund the construction of the TEPP.
We are continuing with our Agricultural testing of our Pampafos® phosphate product. Pampafos® is soluble and will dissolve into the soil. It will not destroy the diverse microbial life forms essential to maintaining productive soil health. Overtime the productivity of the soil will improve by applying Pampafos®.
Agricultural Testing results during the year continued to be very successful with recent rice results confirming earlier testing results that Pampafos® is as effective as the chemically enhanced products. Success with testing has also allowed us to progress our Pampafos® marketing activities which we will continue to drive forward. There is strong interest from local growers and organic farmers who are currently hauling organic phosrock over 1,000 kilometres because it is unavailable locally.
We are closely watching global phosphate markets and prices for export opportunities, aware that the prices for agricultural commodities having spent decades in decline are now rising significantly. This together with other factors has resulted in higher phosphate prices in many parts of the world but particularly in both Brazil and Australia. It should also be noted that we have the opportunity to progressively expand our phosphate production capability quite easily and significantly and without a large capital investment. We are also very fortunate to possess vast phosphate assets which can become available if production were to be ramped up.
Environmental, Social, and Governance
A key message for this year is that we have emerged as a company with very excellent ‘green’ credentials in a fastchanging global financial paradigm, where to attract money for future investment, environmental credentials are likely to become essential. This is a highly significant strategic advantage in terms our future ability to raise capital. But it is certainly not a fashionable marketing ploy on our part. It is in our DNA. The story began in July 2019, when soon after my appointment to the Board, on a visit to Brazil, our Managing Director Fernando Tallarico asked if we were prepared to replace the original project with the low CAPEX, low OPEX natural/organic fertiliser project. He received a resounding ‘yes’. Fernando then recruited Luiz Clerot, somewhat of a ‘renaissance geologist’ with a natural technical curiosity, an extraordinary passion and a track record for building sound and profitable environmental mining projects. We effectively
==> picture [77 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Annual Report
changed our strategic direction in mid 2019 to a natural eco-friendly low-cost phosphate company with extensive copper assets. Yet we didn’t get to a zero-zero-zero TEPP project by accident. We didn’t go beyond the regulatory requirements for environmental standards by being ‘deficient’, we have simply sought to build the best. We learned that by seeking alternative environmentally friendly solutions to the ‘tried and true’ we were also able to reduce costs. This has led to not only outstanding environmental outcomes but to a very cost-effective project of which we are justly proud. Improvements to the technical and environmental work on the TEPP is ongoing, and it continues to evolve as we speak. That same rationale is now being applied to our Andrade copper project and we look forward to sharing the results with you in the near future.
Some of you may not be aware of the considerable community work Fernando Tallarico had the foresight to undertake in 2018 in the Lavras region where the TEPP will be located. As a result, we got to know and understand the community and their need for our project to help revitalise the local economy. The subsequent strategic transition in 2019 to the organic Pampafos® product with its low environmental footprint was naturally very well received there. We are very grateful for the ongoing support we continue to receive from the Lavras community.
We have already commenced a project to enable us to report on our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) status in accordance with international standards. Early indications suggest that we already have achieved a significant proportion of compliance which has been organically driven by the culture of our company.
Once again, I wish to sincerely thank Dr Tallarico and his team in Port Alegre Brazil for their outstanding contribution to the company over the last year. Their technical rigour and ‘know how’ is enabling them to convert innovative technologies into cost effective production techniques. It is sometimes said that ‘innovation is the tonic of life’, and if we were to find a single word to describe our team in Brazil, apart from their capacity for loyalty and hard work, the word that comes to mind is ‘innovation’. It is a spirit which runs through their work, and although a small team, this is increasingly giving Aguia a major competitive edge.
In summary this promises to be a year in which we will continue to make solid progress, albeit not in the way we had anticipated. We will continue to build the company as we progress our Andrade copper project at a time in which the historic shift to the electrification of transport globally has markedly accelerated.
With phosphate a critical factor in food production and copper essential for the electrification of motor vehicles and electricity generation our commodities are without doubt, in the right place, and at the right time. We are well positioned to take advantage of these circumstances and continue to advance our green resource projects.
The company has a very strong asset base with combined copper and phosphate tenements of 958 square kilometres. One way to perhaps visualise just how expansive these assets truly are is to compare them to the size of King Island, an island located off the Tasmanian coast in Australia comprising of approximately 1,100 square kilometres.
With all this talk of mineral production, we must still keep in mind that even as we transition to a production company, we will remain an explorer of copper in the largely untapped Rio Grande Copper Belt in Southern Brazil. We expect to shortly announce the acquisition of two additional copper targets as well as a gold target.
Finally, I also would like to thank our many loyal shareholders most sincerely for your continued support not only for this past year, but for many of you, over many years. The road from exploration to production in mining companies is generally very long taking sometimes more than a decade depending on the nature of the project. We are indeed fortunate that our mineral resources are at surface and that we can operate open cut mines for both of our commodities. This has considerably shortened the journey to production as well as the costs. The share price took an inevitable tumble on news of the court case, and while this is disappointing in the short term, the true value of Aguia will surely be realised as we advance our copper projects and work our way through the legal process with respect to the TEPP. In short, Aguia has huge unlocked value.
The AGM will take place by electronic means on November 30[th] at 9.30 am AEDT but I trust that by the 2022 AGM we will have the pleasure of meeting many of you in person.
Yours Sincerely
Christina McGrath Chair

Operating and Financial review
Overview of the Company
Aguia Resources Limited (‘Aguia’) is an exploration and development company focused on Brazilian phosphate and copper projects. Aguia is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) under the symbol AGR and has offices in Sydney, Australia and Porto Alegre, Brazil. The Company currently controls over 1,626 km[2] of land in the Brazilian states of Rio Grande do Sul, Paraiba and Minas Gerais containing phosphate and copper mineralization through exploration permits it has acquired from the Brazilian National Mining Agency (‘ANM’). The Company seeks to develop its holdings of phosphate and copper deposits into viable mining operations.
Notable events during the year
-
Legal Proceedings commenced by a Federal Public Prosecutor (‘FPP’) against Aguia and the Rio Grande do Sul State Environmental Agency (‘FEPAM’) to put a stay on the Preliminary Licence for the Três Estradas Phosphate Project (‘TEPP’) due to discrepancies in the Environmental Impact Assessment (‘EIA’). Aguia is very confident that the work carried out on the EIA was done with upmost competence and complies with all the necessary legal and regulatory requirements.
-
In accordance with AASB 6, the exploration asset value for the Lucena Project has been written down to nil value. Any future gain on the sale of this asset will be recognised as income.
-
Land acquisition for the TEPP advanced considerably with ten of the eleven properties covering the project area now acquired.
-
Marketing of Aguia’s Pampafos® natural phosphate fertiliser continued with an ever-growing positive response. Expressions of interest received from both growers and agronomists as consultants for growers.
-
The application of Pampafos® to rice crops returned yields of up to 99.8% of those achieved using conventional fertilisers.
-
The application of Pampafos® to corn crops returned green mass productivity higher than that achieved using conventional fertilisers.
-
Further agronomic tests have been developed with universities and the contract with Integrar has been extended for 24 months, demonstrative plots with influential producers are being planned.
-
Significant expansion of copper leases in the highly prospective Rio Grande Copper Belt (‘RGCB’) has taken Aguia’s total land position to over 130,000 hectares; the Brazilian Geological Survey (‘CPRM’) has reported ~110 copper occurrences in the RGCB. Most have not yet been the subject of systematic modern exploration programs.
-
Completion of Private Placement raising A$4.16 million.
-
Secured a A$3.75 million loan from the Development Bank of Southern Brazil for TEPP CAPEX funding, subject to satisfying conditions precedent.

Annual Report
Legal proceedings
Subsequent to the year end (2 July 2021), Aguia announced that on 29 June 2021 (following market close in Australia), a FPP in Southern Brazil filed a public civil action (‘PCA’) before the 1st Federal Trial Court of the City of Bagé in the State of Rio Grande do Sul (‘Trial Court’), seeking an emergency injunction to put a stay on the Preliminary Licence (‘LP’) for the TEPP granted on 15 October 2019, and to not proceed with the granting of the LI for the TEPP. Aguia and FEPAM were named as co-defendants in the matter.
Upon becoming aware of the filing of the case, Aguia’s legal team was heard by the Trial Court judge in view of the FPP’s request for an injunction to be granted to suspend the LP without hearing from the co-defendants. Following this, and on the same day, the Trial Court judge denied the FPP injunctive relief.
A subsequent announcement was made on 8 July 2021 providing further information on the legal proceedings brought by the FPP on three grounds. All three grounds relate to requirements of the EIA for the TEPP:
-
The Traditional Community of family ranchers present on the land affected by the TEPP was not consulted and did not provide prior, free, and informed consent.
-
In addition to the public hearing held in Lavras do Sul, a second public hearing should have been held to encompass those people in the Municipality of Dom Pedrito and in the Torquato Servero district, locations that will be affected by environmental impact of the TEPP.
-
Technical discrepancies in the EIA that was presented to FEPAM
As stated on 2 July 2021 and on 8 July 2021, Aguia is confident that the work carried out on the EIA, which was approved by FEPAM (the government environmental protection agency and co-defendant in these proceedings) prior to the granting of the LP, was done so with upmost competence by several highly qualified experts in their fields. As announced on 17 October 2019, FEPAM was extremely diligent in their review of the technical aspects of the EIA, and, in particular, the Aguia community consultation program.
Following the filing of the PCA, Aguia’s technical team and legal advisers in Brazil, who worked alongside the Company during the LP process, commenced work on its defence. FEPAM retained its own legal counsel and Aguia’s legal team is working in close consultation with them. At all times, Aguia maintains a willingness to engage proactively with the FPP to resolve this matter and settle these issues.
On 13 July 2021, Aguia Chair, Ms Christina McGrath, and Managing Director, Dr Fernando Tallarico, hosted a webinar to provide shareholders with further information on the grounds on which the action has be brought, legal process, and continuing company activities, followed by a Q&A session. A recording of this webinar and Q&A is available on Aguia’s website: https://aguiaresources.com.au/news/#jul21.
On 18 August 2021, Aguia filed its defence along with several documents to support the technical issues outlined. The case is based on disputed facts, rather than on questions of law, with the defence addressing all the technical issues of fact.
FEPAM has since presented its defence and the case will now be sent to the FPP for a response and an indication of the evidence it intends to produce. As the testing of technical evidence in PCAs is lengthy and usually takes at least a year, Aguia is not expecting a merits decision by the Trial Court for 18-24 months. Once a merits decision is rendered, parties may appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. An appeal to this Court can be expected to be filed which may take 6- 12 months for a decision.
Aguia will be doing everything within its power to expedite the case, whilst always considering local laws, but the Company has limited control over the pace of the PCA.
Aguia has retained an expert legal team and technical personnel of the highest quality to assist with the litigation and remains confident in the work performed to date as well as the Company’s solid defence arguments.
As previously advised, Aguia will attempt to engage in settlement discussions in court with the FPP aimed at resolving the matter in a timely manner.
Lucena Project
Given the geographical location of the Lucena project, in the state of Paraiba in north-eastern Brazil, the focus of the Company to bring the TEPP into production, and the continued exploration of copper assets, the exploration assets associated with the Lucena project have been written down to nil value. This is in accordance with AASB 6. Any future gain on the sale of these assets will be recognised as income.

Annual Report
Três Estradas Phosphate Project (TEPP)
Notwithstanding the legal proceedings, Aguia has advanced key activities to progress the TEPP into production with the application for the Installation Licence (‘LI’) for the TEPP submitted to FEPAM. The LI will not be granted until finalisation of the legal proceedings.
The LI is the only major outstanding permit required to commence project construction and once the Company receives the LI from FEPAM, earthworks, civil works and installation of the processing unit can begin. The Operation Licence (‘LO’) is then granted once FEPAM confirms that the site installation has been completed strictly within the guidelines detailed in the LI.

Land acquisition
Aguia is in the final stages of land acquisition with ten of the eleven properties covering the TEPP area now acquired. The receipt of the LI, which gives the right to commence mine construction, is dependent upon completion of the land acquisition.
Phosphate marketing
Aguia is developing a natural phosphate fertiliser product with the registered brand ‘Pampafos®’ grading about 10% P2O5 which will be produced from the saprolite of the carbonatite ore (CBTSAP).
Marketing of Pampafos® has now been in progress for around nine months with an ever-growing positive response. During the year, Aguia received several expressions of interest from both growers and agronomists who consult to a significant number of growers who collectively control very large tracts of land in RS. The Company hosted a meeting attended by over 70 interested parties, including growers and agronomists. Aguia continues to promote our products at agricultural fairs and conduct site visits for interested growers.
Agronomic trials
Aguia has engaged Integrar Gestão e Inovação Agropecuária (‘Integrar’), a renowned independent agronomic consulting firm located in RS, to conduct agronomic efficiency tests on ‘Pampafos®’ as a source of Phosphorus (‘P’) for crops and compare it to different sources of phosphate, including conventional phosphate fertilisers such as Super-simple Phosphate, Triple Superphosphate, Monoammonium Phosphate, and Natural Phosphate from Morocco. Tests were undertaken at Integrar’s Agronomic Station located in Capivari do Sul, RS.
Test #1 evaluated three successive crops (soybean, ryegrass, and rice) in the field. It commenced in late December 2019 on soybean, the 2019/2020 summer crop, followed by ryegrass in the 2020 winter crop, and finally rice in the 2020/2021 summer crop. The results of the test on the 2020/2021 rice crop were announced on 11 May 2021. The results
==> picture [77 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Annual Report
demonstrated an efficient P2O5 absorption by the plants from Pampafos® with yields of up to 98% of those achieved using conventional phosphate fertilisers returned.
Test #2 is currently ongoing to evaluate three successive crops (corn, wheat, and soybean) in pots. The test commenced in late December 2019 on corn, the 2019/2020 summer crop, followed by wheat in the 2020 winter crop, and finally soybean in the 2020/2021 summer crop. The results of the test on the 2019/2020 corn crop were announced on 9 July 2020. The productivity results indicate that the corn plants can use the P nutrient from Pampafos® that is applied to the soil, demonstrating a very positive agronomic efficiency. The expectation is that in a short period, the differences in productivity between the conventional phosphate fertilisers and Pampafos® will reduce further or be negligible due to residual P in the soil.
Aguia is currently developing further agronomic tests with the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and the Federal University of Pelotas, both located in RS. In addition, Aguia has signed a contract addendum with Integrar to extend the current tests at Capivari do Sul Agronomic Station for 24 months. This will include further tests on ryegrass (winter 2021), soybean (summer 2021/2022), wheat (winter 2022) and rice (summer 2022/2023).
Aguia is also planning to undertake agronomic tests in key locations across RS with high productivity, and consequently high demand for phosphate, and to establish demonstrative plots within influential producers. The technical staff is aware that conducting tests in distinct soils, on distinct crops, and varying dosages, is imperative to understanding product performance, guide the product positioning in the market, and support sales.
Copper Assets
The State of Rio Grande do Sul is host to one of the first copper mines in Brazil, the Camaqua Mine, from where 30 million tonnes of copper ore were mined. In addition to this historical mine, the CPRM has reported as many as 110 copper occurrences in the RGCB. Most of these occurrences have not yet been the subject of systematic modern exploration programs.
This geological environment is also the host of many base metal and gold projects, such as the Caçapava Project owned by Nexa Resources in a joint venture with IamGold, with a mineral resource of 26Mt @ 1.05% zinc and 1.95% lead and the Amarillo Gold project located on the outskirts of the city of Lavras do Sul, with a resource of 523,000 ounces of gold. Currently, other copper, gold, and base metals exploration projects are progressing within the RGCB.
The most advanced copper project in Aguia’s portfolio is the Andrade Copper Project (‘Andrade’). On 9 March 2021, Aguia announced an upgrade of the mineral resource at Andrade, with an Indicated Resource of 18Mt grading 0.41% copper and a further 4Mt of Inferred Resource grading 0.53% copper for a total of 22Mt grading 0.43% copper. In addition to this upgrade, an initial scoping study of the deposit was also released which demonstrated positive economic results. This study investigated the production of metallic copper (copper cathode) to be transported to the Port of Rio Grande, located 260km to the southeast of the project site. The results of this initial economic assessment are compelling. The full announcement can be viewed on Aguia’s website: https://aguiaresources.com.au/asx-announcements/andrade-copperupdated-resource-estimate-scoping-study/.
Aguia is also progressing work on its seven other copper exploration targets that have been subjected to systematic geological mapping, rock and soil geochemistry, trenching and channel sampling, and ground geophysics. Of these regional targets, Carlota is the most advanced target as it has a copper and gold-in-soils anomaly that is underlined by a shallow ground geophysics anomaly and is ready to be drill tested. Details of Aguia’s copper exploration targets are displayed in Table 01 and Figure 03 on the pages that follow.
Copper land position
During the year, Aguia continued to increase its significant and strategic exploration tenements in the RGCB, designed to cover additional copper occurrences. Aguia announced the granting of new exploration permits on 22 January 2021 and 31 May 2021. Newly permitted areas will be subject to geological mapping and initial scouting to select future targets. Aguia’s total land position in the highly prospective RGCB is now over 130,000 hectares.

Annual Report
Table 01 – Aguia’s Rio Grande Copper Belt Exploration Targets
| Target | Description | Exploration Results |
| Andrade- Primavera Trend |
Primavera is located 3.8km to the south of the Andrade deposit and is Aguia’s second most important target. Four additional geophysical targets, yet unnamed, have been identified along the Andrade-Primavera trend. |
Sampling of historical trenches in 2019 returned 52 metres grading 1.03% copper and 6.2g/t silver; and 11 metres grading 1.16% copper and 25.16g/t silver. |
| Carlota | Carlota is the third most important target because of the combined copper and gold-in- soils anomalies at surface that are underlined by a shallow plunging geophysical anomaly. The target also includes some outstanding gold grades in grab rock samples, one of which contains visible gold. |
A gold-in-soils anomaly measuring over 500 metres in length with rock chip samples of up to 1.63% copper and 48 g/t gold, and 0.16% copper and 13.4g/t gold taken. Eight channels were sampled in 1 metre intervals totalling 170 samples that returned up to 29.8g/t gold. |
| Canhada | The Canhada Target is related to an expressive air- borne geophysical anomaly where numerous copper showings were identified at survey. Further follow- up ground geophysics highlighted multiple anomalies that merit drill testing. |
The target has historical rock samples with copper assays over 4%. The air-borne geophysical anomaly is 27km2 in size (measuring about 9km by 3km). Airborne geophysics shows the target as a magnetic low, potentially associated with hydrothermal alteration of magnetite to hematite. The copper minerals occur in veins crosscutting highly fractured volcanic rock and are often weathered to malachite from the original primary copper minerals. |
| Passo Feio | Passo Feio is located approximately 16km to the southeast of Andrade. The target is associated with a 16km2 low-magnetic airborne geophysical anomaly interpreted to be related to the hydrothermal oxidation of magnetite to hematite. |
Sampling has returned 1.55% and 2.10% copper in different rock types. Grab samples of sandstone outcrops have returned up to 2.30% copper. Six trenches have been opened (within the coarse conglomerate layer) to follow- up on rock sample results. |
| Seival | Located approximately 25km southwest of Andrade, the target is interpreted to be associated with the same structural corridor (a major fault zone) that controlled the Andrade and Primavera trend. |
Initial rock sampling returned 2.30% copper in volcanic rock. |
| Lagoa Parada |
The Lagoa Parada target is located 10km southeast of the city of Lavras. Airborne geophysics show a very discrete bullseye circular magnetic anomaly with a radius of 3km and copper showing occurring along the border of this anomaly as disseminations in the matrix of the sandstone and filling fractures. |
Initial reconnaissance and geological mapping returned a rock assay of up to 4.22% copper and over-limited silver (>100g/t silver). |
| Big Ranch | Big Ranch is located approximately 18km northwest of Andrade, immediately north of the Caçapava Granite target area. The target consists of several copper-in-soils anomalies associated with a strong IP chargeability anomaly in the northern portion of the target. |
Ten dipole-dipole radial lines were surveyed along the target and guided the first pass exploration drilling that was completed in late 2018. Drilling was used to map the different alteration zones and to test the bulk of the ring- shaped IP chargeability anomaly that was revealed to be primarily associated with iron sulphide minerals (such as pyrite). Minor copper and zinc sulphides were intercepted through drilling but so far in very narrow zones. |

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the consolidated entity, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.
-
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:
-
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
-
Details of remuneration
-
Service agreements
-
Share-based compensation
-
Additional information
-
Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The consolidated entity’s remuneration policy for its key management personnel (‘KMP’) has been developed by the Board taking into account the size of the consolidated entity, the size of the management team for the consolidated entity, the nature and stage of development of the consolidated entity’s current operations, and market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors.
In addition to considering the above general factors, the Board has also placed emphasis on the following specific issues in determining the remuneration policy for KMP:
-
the consolidated entity is currently focused on undertaking exploration, appraisal and development activities;
-
the risks associated with small cap resource companies whilst exploring and developing projects; and
-
other than profit which may be generated from asset sales, the consolidated entity does not expect to be undertaking profitable operations until sometime after the commencement of commercial production on any of its projects.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate.
Non-executive director remuneration
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. Given the current size, nature and risks of the consolidated entity, incentive options have been used to attract and retain non-executive directors. 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 Board did not use remuneration consultants during the year.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting. Total directors’ fees paid to all non-executive directors is not to exceed $400,000 per annum. Director’s fees paid to non-executive directors accrue on a daily basis. To align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the consolidated entity and non-executive directors may in limited circumstances receive incentive options in order to secure their services.
==> picture [77 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
P a g e | 15
Annual Report
Executive remuneration
The consolidated entity’s remuneration policy is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a performance-based component. The Board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate given the considerations discussed in the section above and is appropriate in aligning executives’ objectives with shareholder and business objectives.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:
-
base pay;
-
short-term performance incentives;
-
share-based payments; and
-
other remuneration.
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration consists of base salaries, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds and other non-cash benefits. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration externally and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.
Short-term incentives ('STI') payments are granted to executives based on specific targets being achieved and include bonus payments. Executives may be entitled to an annual cash bonus upon achieving various key performance indicators (“KPI’s”), as set by the Board. KPIs may include:
-
Permitting Approvals
-
Metallurgical testing Andrade
-
Budget control
-
Marketing initiatives
The Board has focused the consolidated entity’s efforts on finding and completing new business opportunities. The Board considers that the prospects of the consolidated entity and resulting impact on shareholder wealth are largely linked to the success of this approach, rather than by referring to current or prior year earnings. Accordingly, the Board may pay a bonus to executive KMP’s based on the success in generating suitable new business opportunities. A further bonus may also be paid upon the successful completion of a new business acquisition.
The long-term incentives ('LTI') include share-based payments. The Board has chosen to issue incentive options to some executives as a key component of the incentive portion of their remuneration, in order to attract and retain the services of the executives and to provide an incentive linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. The Board considers that each executive’s experience in the resources industry will greatly assist the consolidated entity in progressing its projects to the next stage of development and the identification of new projects. As such, the Board believes that the number of incentive options granted to executives is commensurate to their value to the consolidated entity.
Other than service-based vesting conditions, options may be subject to vesting based on development milestones. The consolidated entity does not currently have a policy regarding executives entering into arrangements to limit their exposure to incentive options granted as part of their remuneration package.

Annual Report
Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration
Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity is currently undertaking exploration and development activities and does not expect to be undertaking profitable operations (other than by way of material asset sales) until sometime after the successful commercialisation, production and sales of commodities from one or more of its projects. Accordingly, the Board does not consider earnings during the current and previous four financial years when determining, and in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP. The performance measure which drives incentive awards is the company's share price and the discovery, delineation and development of new mineral resources. Refer to 'Additional information' of the remuneration report for details of the last five years earnings and share price.
Voting and comments made at the company's 2020 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
The company received in excess of 75% of 'for' votes in relation to its remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2020. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

Annual Report
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Significant accounting policies
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or Impending Changes to Accounting Standards and Interpretations
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
Issued and effective:
Amendments to AASB 3: Definition of a business
In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in AASB 3 Business Combinations to help entities determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a business or not. They clarify the minimum requirements for a business, remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing elements, add guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs, and introduce an optional fair value concentration test.
The amendment to AASB 3 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. Since amendments apply prospectively to transactions or other events that occur on or after the date of first application, the Group will not be affected by these amendments on the date of transition.
Issued but not yet effective:
Amendments to IFRS 3: Reference to Conceptual Framework
In May 2020, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations - Reference to the Conceptual Framework. The amendments are intended to replace a reference to a previous version of the IASB’s Conceptual Framework (the 1989 Framework) with a reference to the current version issued in March 2018 (the Conceptual Framework) without significantly changing its requirements.
The amendments add an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential ‘day 2’ gains or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets or IFRIC 21 Levies, if incurred separately. The exception requires entities to apply the criteria in IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, respectively, instead of the Conceptual Framework, to determine whether a present obligation exists at the acquisition date.
At the same time, the amendments add a new paragraph to IFRS 3 to clarify that contingent assets do not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date.
These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. They are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
==> picture [77 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
P a g e | 31
Annual Report
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current.
The amendments clarify:
-
What is meant by a right to defer settlement
-
That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
-
That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
-
That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument, would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.
These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. They are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use
The amendment prohibits entities from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment (PP&E), any proceeds of the sale of items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.
These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. They are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The consolidated entity has incurred net losses after tax of $10,841,976 (2020: $2,725,792) and net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $2,454,644 (2020: $6,366,093) for the year ended 30 June 2021.
The consolidated entity has not generated significant revenues from operations. Based on the cash flow forecasts, the Board is aware of the Group’s need to access additional working capital in the future in order to progress its projects.
The directors are satisfied that at the date of signing of the financial report, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due and that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have based this on the following pertinent matters:
-
The Group has the capacity to manage its activities in the short term to minimise its funding requirements.
-
The directors regularly monitor the Group’s cash position and, on an on-going basis, consider capital raisings or other methods to ensure that adequate funding continues to be available.
-
The Group’s history of being able to raise funds when required.
-
The Directors believe that future funding will be available to meet the Group’s objectives and debts as and when they fall due.
In the event the consolidated entity is unsuccessful in achieving the above, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 16.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Aguia Resources Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Aguia Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Annual Report
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Board. The Board is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the parent company, Aguia Resources Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.
Revenue recognition
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Other revenue in the current period relates to grants from the Australian Government under the cash boosting scheme (Refer to Note 22). Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with.

Annual Report
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable (or benefit, in the form of, future tax losses to be offset against future taxable profits) on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
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.
Members of the tax consolidated group and the tax sharing arrangement Aguia Resources Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2013. Aguia Resources Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments 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.
Other receivables
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

Annual Report
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation.
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:
- Plant and equipment
3-5 years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.
Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
When technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable for an area of interest, the company stops capitalising exploration and evaluation costs for that area, tests recognized exploration and evaluation assets for impairment and reclassifies any unimpaired exploration and evaluation assets either as tangible or intangible development assets according to the nature of the assets.
The demonstration of the technical feasibility and commercial viability is the point at which management determines that it will develop the project and is subject to a significant degree of judgement and assessment of all relevant factors. This typically includes, but is not limited to, the completion of an economic feasibility study, the establishment of mineral reserves and the ability to obtain the relevant construction and operating permits for the project.
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Non-accumulating sick leave is expensed to profit or loss when incurred.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
==> picture [77 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
P a g e | 35
Annual Report
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options/warrants over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using BlackScholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.
Contributed 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.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Aguia Resources Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
==> picture [77 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Annual Report
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the 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 tax authority is included in other receivables or other 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 tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions used in the valuation models relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets
The consolidated entity assesses carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets at each reporting date. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant interest. The application of this exploration and evaluation expenditure policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, particularly in relation to the assessment of whether sufficient data exist to indicate that the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is likely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, management concludes that the capitalised expenditure is unlikely to be recovered by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Annual Report
Note 3. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity is organised into one operating segment being mining and exploration in Brazil. This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.
The information reported to the CODM comprises mainly direct exploration expenditure in assessing performance and allocation of resources and as such no segment result or segment revenues are disclosed. All the company's non-current assets (including exploration assets) are held in Brazil.
The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis .

The above potential tax benefit for tax losses has not been recognised in the statement of financial position as it is unlikely they will be utilised in the foreseeable future. These tax losses can only be utilised in the future if the continuity of ownership test is passed, or failing that, the same business test is passed.
Tax consolidation
Members of the tax consolidated group and the tax sharing arrangement Aguia Resources Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2013. Aguia Resources Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group.

- In accordance with AASB 6, the exploration asset value for the Lucena Project has been written down to nil value. Any future gain on the sale of this asset will be recognised as income. Given the geographical location of the Lucena project, in the state of Paraiba in North Eastern Brazil, the focus of the Company to bring the TEPP into production and the continued exploration of copper assets, the exploration assets associated with the Lucena project have been written down to nil value.

Note 8. Equity - Contributed capital (continued)
Capital risk management
The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may issue new shares or sell assets.
The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current parent entity's share price at the time of the investment. The consolidated entity is continuously examining new business opportunities where the acquisition / working capital requirements may involve additional funding in some format, including issue of shares or debt where appropriate.
As at 30 June 2021, The consolidated entity is not subject to financing arrangements covenants.

Note 11. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity'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 consolidated entity. Given the nature and size of the business and uncertainty as to the timing and amount of cash inflows and outflows, the consolidated entity does not enter into derivative transactions to mitigate the financial risks. In addition, the consolidated entity's policy is that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken for the purposes of making speculative gains. As the consolidated entity's operations change, the directors will review this policy periodically going forward.
The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Foreign exchange risk arises from commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
The consolidated entity does not carry in its books any foreign currency other than its functional currency and therefore the risk associated with foreign currency risk is deemed to be minimal.
Interest rate risk
The consolidated entity's main interest rate risk arises from short-term deposits with a floating interest rate.

Annual Report
Note 11. Financial instruments (continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral.
The consolidated entity has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the consolidated entity.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year. The exposure to sensitivities on credit risk in not material.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Board's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the consolidated entity will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid.

Annual Report
Note 14. Contingent liabilities
Subsequent to the year end (2 July 2021), Aguia announced that on 29 June 2021 (following market close in Australia), a FPP in Southern Brazil filed a public civil action (‘PCA’) before the 1st Federal Trial Court of the City of Bagé in the State of Rio Grande do Sul (‘Trial Court’), seeking an emergency injunction to put a stay on the Preliminary Licence (‘LP’) for the TEPP granted on 15 October 2019, and to not proceed with the granting of the LI for the TEPP. Aguia and FEPAM were named as co-defendants in the matter.
Upon becoming aware of the filing of the case, Aguia’s legal team was heard by the Trial Court judge in view of the FPP’s request for an injunction to be granted to suspend the LP without hearing from the co-defendants. Following this, and on the same day, the Trial Court judge denied the FPP injunctive relief.
A subsequent announcement was made on 8 July 2021 providing further information on the legal proceedings brought by the FPP on three grounds. All three grounds relate to requirements of the EIA for the TEPP:
-
The Traditional Community of family ranchers present on the land affected by the TEPP was not consulted and did not provide prior, free, and informed consent.
-
In addition to the public hearing held in Lavras do Sul, a second public hearing should have been held to encompass those people in the Municipality of Dom Pedrito and in the Torquato Servero district, locations that will be affected by environmental impact of the TEPP.
-
Technical discrepancies in the EIA that was presented to FEPAM.
As stated on 2 July 2021 and on 8 July 2021, Aguia is confident that the work carried out on the EIA, which was approved by FEPAM (the government environmental protection agency and co-defendant in these proceedings) prior to the granting of the LP, was done so with upmost competence by several highly qualified experts in their fields. As announced on 17 October 2019, FEPAM was extremely diligent in their review of the technical aspects of the EIA, and, in particular, the Aguia community consultation program.
Following the filing of the PCA, Aguia’s technical team and legal advisers in Brazil, who worked alongside the Company during the LP process, commenced work on its defence. FEPAM retained its own legal counsel and Aguia’s legal team is working in close consultation with them. At all times, Aguia maintains a willingness to engage proactively with the FPP to resolve this matter and settle these issues.
On 13 July 2021, Aguia Chair, Ms Christina McGrath, and Managing Director, Dr Fernando Tallarico, hosted a webinar to provide shareholders with further information on the grounds on which the action has be brought, legal process, and continuing company activities, followed by a Q&A session. A recording of this webinar and Q&A is available on Aguia’s website: https://aguiaresources.com.au/news/#jul21.
On 18 August 2021, Aguia filed its defence along with several documents to support the technical issues outlined. The case is based on disputed facts, rather than on questions of law, with the defence addressing all the technical issues of fact.
FEPAM has since presented its defence and the case will now be sent to the FPP for a response and an indication of the evidence it intends to produce. As the testing of technical evidence in PCAs is lengthy and usually takes at least a year, Aguia is not expecting a merits decision by the Trial Court for 18-24 months. Once a merits decision is rendered, parties may appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. An appeal to this Court can be expected to be filed which may take 6-12 months for a decision.
Aguia will be doing everything within its power to expedite the case, whilst always considering local laws, but the Company has limited control over the pace of the PCA.
Aguia has retained an expert legal team and technical personnel of the highest quality to assist with the litigation and remains confident in the work performed to date as well as the Company’s solid defence arguments.
As previously advised, Aguia will attempt to engage in settlement discussions in court with the FPP aimed at resolving the matter in a timely manner.
The consolidated entity does not have any other contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: nil).

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Aguia Resources Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Aguia Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the Directors Declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2021 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 of the financial report which describes the principal conditions that raise doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be a key audit matter to be communicated in our report. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

==> picture [61 x 72] intentionally omitted <==
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Repor t section of our report, including in relation to this matter. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.
Carrying Value of Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Why significant The Group’s exploration assets of $24.1m as at 30 June 2021 represent 80% of the total assets of the Group.
Exploration assets are initially recognised at cost and any additional expenditure is capitalised to the exploration assets in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy as outlined in Note 1.
At each reporting date the Directors’ assess the Group’s exploration assets for indicators of impairment. The decision as to whether there are indicators that require the Group’s exploration assets to be assessed for impairment in accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources involved judgment, including whether; the rights to tenure for the areas of interest are current; the Group’s ability and intention to continue to evaluate and develop the area of interest and whether the results of the Group’s exploration and evaluation work to date are sufficiently progressed for a decision to be made as to the commercial viability or otherwise of the area of interest.
During the period the Group impaired the entire carrying value of the Lucena project totaling $9.1m on the basis that it did not meet the above criteria.
We have therefore considered this a Key Audit Matter due to the value of the exploration assets relative to total assets, the significant judgments involved in the assessment of indicators of impairment and the impairment taken during the period.
| How our | audit addressed the key audit matter | |||
| Our procedures to address the Group’s assessment of | ||||
| impairment indicators for exploration assets included: | ||||
| | Understanding the current exploration program | |||
| and any associated risks. | ||||
| | Considering the Group’s right to explore in the | |||
| relevant exploration area, which included | ||||
| obtaining and assessing supporting | ||||
| documentation such as license agreements. | ||||
| | Considering the Group’s intention to carry out significant exploration and evaluation activity in |
|||
| the relevant areas of interest, which included an | ||||
| assessment of the Group’s cash-flow forecast | ||||
| models and discussions with management as to | ||||
| the intentions and strategy of the Group. | ||||
| | Agreeing a sample of costs capitalised for the | |||
| period to supporting documentation and | ||||
| considering whether these costs meet the | ||||
| requirements of Australian Accounting Standards | ||||
| and the Group’s accounting policy. | ||||
| | Assessing whether exploration and evaluation data exist to indicate that the carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation is unlikely |
|||
| to be recovered through development or sale. | ||||
| | Assessing whether the methodology used and outcomes reached by the Group to identify indicators of impairment met the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. |
|||
| | Evaluating the adequacy of the related | |||
| disclosures in the financial report. |
Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report that is to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual Report after the date of this auditor’s report.
55
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
==> picture [61 x 72] intentionally omitted <==
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events and conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
56
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
==> picture [61 x 72] intentionally omitted <==
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated to the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 15 to 22 of the Directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2021.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Aguia Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
