Directors’ Report

==> picture [487 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

During the Period ended 30 June 2021, the Company completed the following operational and corporate activities.

Operations

Silver City Minerals Ltd ( SCI , or, the Company ) holds a considerable portfolio of mineral exploration tenure in the highly endowed and highly prospective Broken Hill region of the Curnamona Province. The Company’s Projects include Copper Blow, interpreted to be an Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit, the Razorback West Project and tenure over the Euriowie Block including the Yalcowinna Cu-Co prospect.

Austin Gold Project (WA)

Subsequent to 30 June 2021, Silver City announced on 26 July 2021, that it had finalised its due diligence and completed the acquisition for an 80% interest in the Austin Gold Project through the acquisition of 80% of the shares in the capital of GT from the Vendor (“ Acquisition ”), as previously announced to the ASX on 7 April 2021. The Austin Gold Project is located in the highly prospective Murchison greenstone province of Western Australia, directly adjacent to the Cue Gold Project owned by Musgrave Minerals Limited (ASX:MGV), which includes the high grade Break of Day Deposit and Starlight discovery (Figure 1).

Mr Darren White was appointed to the board of SCI as a Non-executive Director on 23 July 2021. Mr White is a successful and well-respected WA based businessman with over 30 years’ experience in mining operations, in particular, key business areas of drilling and blasting. Silver City is delighted to welcome Mr White to the board and his skills in the mining sector will be a significant advantage for the company during exploration campaigns in the coming months.

Strategic Project Location

The Austin Gold Project is located 45 km north of Mt Magnet and comprises 175 square kilometres in the highly prospective Tuckabianna and Mt Magnet greenstone belts of the prolific Murchison gold mining district (Figure 1). The Murchison Province is reported to have historically produced over 17Moz of gold with significant current resources and exciting recent new discoveries by a variety of companies including Musgrave Minerals. The Austin Gold Project is also well located within 50 km of two operating mills held by Ramelius and Wesgold adjacent to the Great Northern Highway ( Figure 1 ).

The Austin Gold Project is centred around one granted mining license at Mt Sandy and surrounded by three larger granted exploration licenses and one small prospecting license (Figure 1). The project has been privately held by various companies for over 20 years with very little modern day exploration programs conducted throughout the package. However, widespread alluvial and hard rock gold has been recovered near surface exposures throughout the tenure by prospectors over many years. A handful of shallow drill programs have been conducted in the past with significant gold results that have never been followed up adequately. Those results include a spectacular drill result of:ffff

• 6 m at 15.8 g/t Au from 36m (including 2 m at 43 g/t Au ) at the Brunswick Hill prospect; and

• 2 m at 20.1 g/t Au from 31m (including 1 m at 28.0 g/t Au) in at the Brians prospect.

Importantly, recent interpretation by the geological survey indicates that the majority of gold occurrences including the Mt Sandy, Brians and Brunswick Hill prospects occur on the eastern limb of the regionally folded highly prospective Norie Group rocks within the Mt Magnet Greenstone Belt (Figure 1). The extensive package held by Musgrave Minerals, including the Break of Day and Lena group of gold resources, occur on the western limb of the Norie Group. A number of new discoveries have been made by Musgrave Minerals including the high-grade Starlight, White Light, White Heat and Big Sky structures that have been shown to trend northwest ( Musgrave Minerals ASX Investor Presentation dated 14 December 2020,1 February 2021, 19 March 2021 and 18 June 2021 ). These structures have provided a breakthrough new understanding in the controls of the mineralisation in the district. Importantly, these northwest controlling structures are interpreted to project under cover onto the Austin Gold Project license (Figure 1).

Due diligence work by SCI included a highlight discovery of quartz veins within the Brians prospect pit displaying abundant visible gold (Figure 2) that has not been followed up properly with drilling. For more details on the Austin Gold Project, including several new high-grade assays on rock samples and previous drilling intersections that have never been followed up refer to important SCI announcements dated as below: 12 April 2021: Rock Assays up to 1,100 g/t Gold at Austin Project;

19 April 2021: High Grade Gold Results 2m at 20.1 g/t Au from RC Samples at Brians Prospect at the Austin Project; and 5 May 2021: Geophysics Highlights >40km of Potential Gold Bearing Structures at Austin Gold Project.

contract with Hagstrom Drilling with drilling to commence in August. The primary aim of the program is to conduct strategic drillholes in key prospect areas of known gold mineralisation to better understand and characterise the orientation of mineralisation in order to optimise its ongoing exploration strategy. The Company has also secured a RC Rig which is scheduled to arrive in late August and an Aircore Rig which is scheduled to arrive in in September or October. The Company expects that it will be drilling for a number of months testing multiple prospects across the project which will be an exciting period of exploration for the Company.

Acquisition Overview

As announced on 7 April 2021, the Company executed a binding share sale and joint venture agreement (“ Agreement ”) with the Vendor to acquire an 80% interest in GT, the owner of the tenements that comprise the Austin Gold Project, including M 21/154, E 21/201, P 21/716, E 58/543 and E 58/510 (together, the “ Tenements ”). A summary of the material terms of the Agreement are set out in the SCI announcement dated 7 April 2021.

In consideration for the Acquisition, on 23 July 2021 the Company issued 300,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of SCI ( SCI Shares ) at a deemed issued price of $0.015 per SCI Share ( Consideration Shares ) to the Vendor. The allotment of Consideration Shares to the Vendor was done so pursuant to obtaining shareholder approval at the General Meeting held on 5 July 2021.

- Broken Hill Project Copper Blow Trend (NSW)

On 24 May 2021, the Company announced excellent results from the Copper Blow Prospect in New South Wales, located within the Broken Hill Project surrounding the World’s richest and largest Silver-Lead-Zinc deposit.

Previous work by Silver City has indicated a strong association between the intersected copper-gold mineralisation with iron oxide mineral magnetite, as well as elevated rare-earth metals from soil data. This metal association is common in Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) deposit systems in the Mt Isa Province of Queensland (e.g. Ernest Henry) and the Gawler Craton of South Australia (e.g. Olympic Dam). As a result of these observations, an extensive assay program was conducted by Silver City to re-assay previous sample pulps for rare earth elements (REE) and other associated metals typical of IOCG-systems. A total of 232 full suite 4 acid and peroxide digest ICP assays were conducted for a total of 23 holes.

An extensive compilation of the new polymetallic assays combined with historic assays was compiled and reviewed by Geos Mining Minerals Consultants in NSW in order to define the distribution of various metals within the area of drilling at Copper Blow. The drillholes were interrogated using the assays and lithological data and two separate wireframes were developed for the South Block and North Block which are separated by an interpreted fault (Figure 3). The modelling of various metals has defined a zonation pattern of metals that are distinctly different from the North Zone to the South Zone .

The North Zone is characterised by wide zones of copper and gold mineralisation with a prominent increase in iron and TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides) at depth (Figure 3 & 4, Table 1 in ASX release dated 24 May 2021). The modelling suggests there is a vertically plunging shoot of copper-gold-TREO and iron that is open below intersection in 18CB057 forming an exciting drill target (Figure 3). Highlight intersections in the North Zone include:

• 41.2m at 1.3% Cu, 0.4g/t Au, 32.0% Fe and 0.3% TREO from 183.8 m in 18CB054;

• 30.0m at 0.9% Cu, 0.3 g/t Au, 24.7% Fe and 0.3% TREO from 270 m in 18CB057 including 15.0m at 1.5% Cu, 0.3 g/t Au, 36.3% Fe and 0.3% TREO; and

• 5m at 1.2% Cu, 0.4 g/t Au, 15.9% Fe and 0.4% TREO from 91 m.

The South Zone is characterised by multiple, narrower and higher-grade intersections of copper and gold mineralisation with a strong correlation with iron but variable TREO (Figure 3 & 4). The modelling strongly suggests a distinct shallow plunge to the southwest forming a second exciting drill target (Figure 3). Highlight intersections in the South Zone include:

• 4m at 6.1% Cu, 4.2 g/t Au and 37.7% Fe from 188 m in 17CB041 and 2 m at 2.4 % Cu, 0.8 g/t Au, 30.0% Fe and 0.14% TREO;

• 7m at 3.7% Cu, 1.1 g/t Au, 23.3% Fe and 0.4% TREO from 126 m in 17CB045; and

• 16 m at 2.7% Cu, 0.6 g/t Au, 24.2% Fe from 133m in 84CB06 and 4 m at 3.5% Cu, 2.4 g/t Au, 28.5% Fe.

Exploration Target Modelling

An Exploration Target was estimated from the drill data and has been estimated in the range of between 10.5Mt and 14.5Mt at an average grade of 0.6% to 0.8% copper , 0.13 g/t to 0.23 g/t gold and 7.5% to 9.0% Fe. It is clear that separate higher grade zones of copper as well as iron will occur within the deposit but will require more detailed domaining within the simple wireframes completed to date.

In addition, an Exploration Target for TREO was estimated to be in the range of between 1.5Mt and 2.3Mt at an average grade of between 0.18% TREO and 0.44% TREO . The TREO Exploration Target is constrained to a smaller volume due to the limited number of TREO samples that have been assayed; further re-assaying of the historical drill samples could increase the tonnage range significantly.

SCI is focussed on reviewing the deficiencies in the historic drilling data, and work towards completing a JORC 2012 inferred resource.

Metallurgy

A review of the metallurgy commenced on the project to progress the positive floatation testwork results at Copper Blow that returned results of up to 97% recovery of the copper (ASX Announcement dated 27 March 2018).

A review was made on the viability of treating iron as a by-product of the copper-gold mineralisation. A batch of 8 representative samples were selected from various parts of the deposit for Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) analysis to determine the amount of magnetite in the sample. The results indicate a magnetite content of up to 42%, representing a range of up to 80% of the Fe% values.

Metallurgical and processing consulting group, Resource Development Partners, has been engaged to review all data on the project and provide recommendations for further work.

Ongoing Exploration Work

Modelling of various metals within Copper Blow strongly suggests an association with IOCG systems. A review of the regional geophysics including airborne magnetics, radiometrics and gravity is underway to characterise the anomalies at Copper Blow. In addition, an extensive regional field sampling campaign is now complete with the primary aim to identify further copper-gold-rare earth-magnetite targets across the Broken Hill tenure. As part of the field work, a field visit will be conducted to Copper Blow in order to assess the deposit workings and confirm collar locations as part of the ongoing work on the deposit to progress toward a JORC-2012 inferred resource.

Tindery Gold Project (NSW)

Silver City continues to undertake an assessment of its strategic tenement holdings in New South Wales, particularly for gold mineralisation.

The Tindery Project is a large land package of 157 km square kilometres in the prolific Cobar Gold-Base Metal mining district with extensive historic production of gold, silver and copper. The project is located in the unexplored northern tip of the Cobar Trend along strike from the CSA Mine held by Glencore and the Endeavor Mine held by CBH Resources (Figure 6). The Chesney Fault System, which extends for 15 km strike on the Tindery Project tenure, is considered highly prospective since it is a major subsidiary structure to the Cobar Fault associated with the CSA deposit (Figure 6). Geologically, the northern part of the Cobar Basin is intruded by a suite of Silurian aged granitoids, including the Tindery Granite. Several gold occurrences and historical small-scale mines and workings are reported within close proximity to the contacts of the Tindery Granite. This association suggest the project is prospective for intrusion-related gold (IRG) deposits.

Previous exploration on the license indicates extensive stockwork veining at the historic Golconda gold mine that is reported to extend over an area 50-200 m wide and 450 m of long with rock samples up to 2.5 g/t Au (Figure 6). The Golconda gold mine trend has never been drilled. In addition, extensive gold-bearing chalcedonic quartz veins have been historically identified at the Tinderra Tank prospect and reported to occur up to 5 m thick and extend for 2.5km strike with assays up to 2.1 g/t Au (Figure 6) (Refer Release 19 August 2020).

An extensive soil geochemistry program comprising 530 samples is now complete and assays have been received. The interpretation of the results is currently underway and are expected to be reported in the September quarter.

Wellington Project

Silver City settled acquisition of the Wellington Project which is located 15 kilometres south of the Boda porphyry coppergold discovery by Alkane Resources NL. The Company announced on 11 March 2020 a binding option agreement with Syndicate Minerals Pty Ltd to acquire the Wellington Project which confirmed settlement on 21 July 2020. The exploration license application (formerly ELA5852) was granted as EL8971 (Refer ASX release 21 July 2020). During the June quarter, Silver City has received notification from the department for the approval of the transfer.

A desktop review continues to progress on previous exploration data with particular focus on assessing the project for porphyry copper-gold deposits similar to the nearby Boda discovery.

Corporate Activities

Subsequent to the end of the June quarter, SCI has completed a placement of 100,000,000 FPO shares at $0.015 per FPO share to raise $1,500,000 before costs in satisfaction of the Placement condition. The Placement was settled in two tranches as follows:

1. Tranche 1 – as announced on 15 April 2021, SCI completed a placement of 57,281,600 SCI Shares to new and existing sophisticated investors to raise $859,224 pursuant to the Company’s existing capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

Non-audit services

The Company’s auditor, BDJ Partners provided non-audit services to the Company during the period ended 30 June 2021 amounting to $1,800 for tax return preparation and lodgement (2020: $2,600). The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The nature and scope of each type of non-audit service provided means that auditor independence was not compromised.

Remuneration report (audited)

This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2021 outlines the remuneration arrangements of the Company and the Group in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (the Act) and its regulations. This information has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Act.

The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for key management personnel (KMP) who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company.

Details of key management personnel

Details of KMP including the top five remunerated executives of the Parent and Group are set out below.

S Cheema	Non-Executive Director and CompanySecretary- Appointed 29 May2020
D White	Non-Executive Director – Appointed 23 July2021

Remuneration philosophy

The objective of the Company’s remuneration framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. The Board believes that executive remuneration satisfies the following key criteria:

• Competitiveness and reasonableness

• Acceptability to shareholders

• Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation

• Transparency

• Capital management

These criteria result in a framework which can be used to provide a mix of fixed and variable remuneration, and a blend of short and long-term incentives in line with the Company’s limited financial resources.

Fees and payments to the Company’s Non-Executive Directors and Senior Executives reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors and the senior management. Such fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Company’s Executive and Non-Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Officers are entitled to receive options under the Company’s Employee Share Option Scheme.

At the Company’s AGM in 2020, 99% of shareholders voted against an advisory resolution to adopt the Company’s remuneration report.

The Company has not made or agreed to make any bonus or performance related payments to its Directors or Key Management Personnel during the year ended 30 June 2021.

Non-executive director remuneration arrangements

Directors are entitled to remuneration out of the funds of the Company, but the remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors may not exceed in any year the amount fixed by the Company in general meeting for that purpose. The aggregate

14 > Silver City Minerals Limited Annual Report 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

==> picture [487 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

1. Corporate information

The financial report of Silver City Minerals Limited (the Company) for the year ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 30 September 2021.

Silver City Minerals Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange using the ASX code SCI.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Silver City Minerals Ltd and its subsidiaries (the Group or Consolidated Entity).

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Consolidated Entity are described in the Directors’ Report.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars.

Statement of compliance

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and complies with other requirements of the law. Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Silver City Minerals Limited (Silver City or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries if applicable (“the Group”) as at 30 June each year. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

• Plant and equipment – 2 - 5 years

• Motor Vehicle – 5 years

Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the period the item is derecognised.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Interest in jointly controlled operations – joint ventures

The Company has an interest in exploration joint ventures that are jointly controlled. A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. A jointly controlled operation involves use of assets and other resources of the venturers rather than establishment of a separate entity.

The Company recognises its interest in the jointly controlled operations by recognising the assets that it controls and the liabilities that it incurs. The Company also recognises the expenses that it incurs and its share of any income that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the jointly controlled operations.

Recoverable amount of assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised initially on the date that the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).

Financial assets

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification

On initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial assets into the following categories, those measured at:

• amortised cost

• fair value through profit or loss - FVTPL

• fair value through other comprehensive income - equity instrument (FVOCI - equity)

• fair value through other comprehensive income - debt investments (FVOCI - debt)

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Amortised cost

Assets measured at amortised cost are financial assets where:

• the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

• the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Company's financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position.

Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less provision for impairment.

Interest income, foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Financial instruments (continued)

Fair value through other comprehensive income

The Company does not hold any assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Financial assets through profit or loss

The Company does not hold any assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

Impairment of financial assets is recognised on an expected credit loss (ECL) basis for the following assets:

� financial assets measured at amortised cost

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial assets has increased significant since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward looking information.

The Company uses the presumption that an asset which is more than 30 days past due has seen a significant increase in credit risk.

The Company uses the presumption that a financial asset is in default when:

• the other party is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full, without recourse to the Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or

• the financial assets is more than 90 days past due.

Credit losses are measured as the present value of the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows expected to be received. This is applied using a probability weighted approach.

Trade receivables and contract assets

Impairment of trade receivables and contract assets have been determined using the simplified approach in AASB 9 which uses an estimation of lifetime expected credit losses. The Company has determined the probability of non-payment of the receivable and contract asset and multiplied this by the amount of the expected loss arising from default.

The amount of the impairment is recorded in a separate allowance account with the loss being recognised in finance expense. Once the receivable is determined to be uncollectable then the gross carrying amount is written off against the associated allowance.

Where the Company renegotiates the terms of trade receivables due from certain customers, the new expected cash flows are discounted at the original effective interest rate and any resulting difference to the carrying value is recognised in profit or loss.

Other financial assets measured at amortised cost

Impairment of other financial assets measured at amortised cost are determined using the expected credit loss model in AASB 9. On initial recognition of the asset, an estimate of the expected credit losses for the next 12 months is recognised. Where the asset has experienced significant increase in credit risk then the lifetime losses are estimated and recognised.

Financial liabilities

The Company measures all financial liabilities initially at fair value less transaction costs, subsequently financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

The financial liabilities of the Company comprise trade payables.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Exploration, evaluation, development and restoration costs

Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Company is accumulated separately for each area of interest. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure, but does not include general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific connection with a particular area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation costs in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current are brought to account in the year in which they are incurred and carried forward provided that:

• Such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area, or alternatively through its sale; or

• Exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves.

Once a development decision has been taken, all past and future exploration and evaluation expenditure in respect of the area of interest is aggregated within costs of development.

Exploration and evaluation – impairment

The Directors assess at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset has been impaired and for exploration and evaluation cost whether the above carry-forward criteria are met.

Accumulated costs in respect of areas of interest are written off or a provision made in the Income Statement when the above criteria do not apply or when the Directors assess that the carrying value may exceed the recoverable amount. The costs of productive areas are amortised over the life of the area of interest to which such costs relate on the production output basis, provisions would be reviewed and if appropriate, written back.

Development

Development expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Company is accumulated separately for each area of interest in which economically recoverable reserves have been identified to the satisfaction of the directors. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and, in the same manner as for exploration and evaluation expenditure, an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure having a specific connection with the development property.

All expenditure incurred prior to the commencement of commercial levels of production from each development property is carried forward to the extent to which recoupment out of revenue to be derived from the sale of production from the relevant development property, or from the sale of that property, is reasonably assured.

No amortisation is provided in respect of development properties until a decision has been made to commence mining. After this decision, the costs are amortised over the life of the area of interest to which such costs relate on a production output basis.

Restoration

Provisions for restoration costs are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Remaining mine life

In estimating the remaining life of the mine at each mine property for the purpose of amortisation and depreciation calculations, due regard is given not only to the volume of remaining economically recoverable reserves but also to limitations which could arise from the potential for changes in technology, demand, product substitution and other issues that are inherently difficult to estimate over a lengthy time frame.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Exploration, evaluation, development and restoration costs (continued)

Mine property held for sale

Where the carrying amount of mine property and related assets will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, the assets are reclassified as Mine Property Held for Sale and carried at the lower of the assets’ carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell – where such fair value can be reasonably determined, and otherwise at its carrying amount. Liabilities and provisions related to mine property held for sale are similarly reclassified as Liabilities – Mine Property Held for Sale and, Provisions – Mine Property Held for sale, as applicable, and carried at the value at which the liability or provisions expected to be settled.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of one year or less. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of any outstanding bank overdrafts, if any.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Employee entitlements

Liabilities for wages and salaries are recognised and are measured as an amount unpaid at the reporting date at current pay rates in respect of an employee’s services up to that date. A liability in respect of superannuation at the current superannuation guarantee rate has been accrued at the reporting date.

Share-based payments

In addition to salaries, the Company provides benefits to certain employees (including Directors and Key Management personnel) of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity-settled transactions”).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of the options is determined by using the Binomial option pricing model. In valuing transactions settled by way of issue of options, no account is taken of any vesting limits or hurdles, or the fact that the options are not transferable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the vesting conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

For the year ended 30 June 2021

==> picture [487 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, at a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification. If an equitysettled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of the cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated a replacement award on the date it is granted, the cancelled and the new award are treated as if there was a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share except where such dilution would serve to reduce a loss per share.

Leases

The Company has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019, which has resulted in changes in classification, measurement and recognition of leases. All leases where the Company is a lessee are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and removes the former distinction between ‘operating’ and ‘finance’ leases. The new standard requires recognition of a right-of-use asset (the leased item) and a financial liability (to pay rentals). The exceptions are short-term and low value leases.

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Interest

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:

• Except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

• In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:

• Except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Income tax (continued)

• In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

• Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

• Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

Currency

Functional currency translation

The functional and presentation currency for the parent company is Australian dollars ($). The functional currency of overseas subsidiaries is the local currency.

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the translation. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange at the reporting date.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Translation of Group Companies’ functional currency to presentation currency

The results of the New Zealand subsidiary are translated into Australian Dollars (presentation currency) as at the date of each transaction. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.

If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Share-based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Binomial formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as detailed in Notes 13 and 15.

Capitalisation and write-off of capitalised exploration costs

The determination of when to capitalise and write-off exploration expenditure requires the exercise of judgement based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions.

Issued capital

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

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Company, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Company, adjusted for:

• Costs of servicing equity;

• The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

• Other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Going Concern

The financial report is prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The going concern of the Company is dependent upon it maintaining sufficient funds for its operations and commitments. The Company has a high level of confidence in its ability to successfully complete capital raising initiatives as and when required. This is supported by the Company’s strong track record in successfully raising capital, to which the Company had raised $2.5 million (before costs) via a share placement during the year ended 30 June 2021 and a further $0.36 million options exercises. The Directors are confident that current funds are sufficient in the near term to enable the Company to continue as a going concern and as such are of the opinion that the financial report has been appropriately prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors continue to monitor the ongoing funding requirements of the Company and as stated, have the ability to raise monies via a share placement in the near term as work programs progress.

Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Consolidated Entity for the year ended 30 June 2021. The Consolidated Entity plans to adopt these standards at their application dates.

It is anticipated that the application of these standards will not have a material effect on the Consolidated Entity’s results or financial reports in future periods.

The Director’s assessment of the impact of all new standards and interpretations adopted during the current year is that they have not had a material impact on the financial report of the Company.

Deferred income tax liability in respect of carried forward tax losses – not recognised Income tax expense	259,318 152,438
	- -

No provision for income tax is considered necessary in respect of the Company for the period 30 June 2021.

The Group has a deferred income tax liability of Nil (2020: Nil) associated with exploration costs deferred for accounting purposes but expensed for tax purposes. This liability has been brought to account and offset by deferred tax assets attributed to available tax losses. No recognition has been given to any deferred income tax asset which may arise from available tax losses, except to the extent offset against deferred tax liabilities. The Company has estimated its losses at $18,056,352 (2020: $17,782,074) as at 30 June 2021.

A benefit of 26% (2020: 27.5%) of approximately $4,694,652 (2020: $4,890,070) associated with the tax losses carried forward will only be obtained if:

• The Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;

• The Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and

• No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

• Silver City and its 100% owned subsidiary (MEPL) formed a tax consolidated group of which Silver City is the head entity.

18. Segment information

The operating segments identified by management are as follows:

Exploration projects funded directly by Silver City Minerals Limited (“Exploration”)

Regarding the Exploration segment, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the Board of directors) receives information on the exploration expenditure incurred. This information is disclosed in Note 8 of this financial report. No segment revenues are disclosed as each exploration tenement is not at a stage where revenues have been earned. Furthermore, no segment costs are disclosed as all segment expenditure is capitalised, with the exception of expenditure written off which is disclosed in Note 8. Financial information about each of these tenements is reported to the Board on an ongoing basis.

Corporate office activities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment and comprise of the following:

• Interest revenue.

• Corporate costs.

• Depreciation and amortisation of non-project specific property, plant and equipment.

19. Contingent liabilities

The Group has provided guarantees totalling $175,500 (2020: $160,000) in respect of exploration tenements in NSW. These guarantees in respect of exploration tenements are secured against deposits with a banking institution. The Company does not expect to incur any material liability in respect of the guarantees.

20. Financial instruments

The Board as a whole is responsible for reviewing the Company’s policies on risk oversight and management and satisfying itself that Senior Management have developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control. The Company’s risk management policy has been designed to identify, assess, monitor and manage material business risks to ensure effective management of risk. These policies are reviewed regularly to reflect material changes in market conditions and the Company’s risk profile.

The main risks identified in the Company’s financial instruments are capital risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Summarised below is information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, the management of capital and financial instruments.

Capital risk management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern. The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the Company. In order to achieve this objective, the Company seeks to maintain a sufficient funding base to enable the Company to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs.

The Board ensures costs are not incurred in excess of available funds and will seek to raise additional funding through the issue of shares for the continuation of the Company’s operations when required.

The Company considers its capital to comprise of its ordinary share capital, option reserve and accumulated losses. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Financial risk management objectives

In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

During the period there have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company’s finance function. The Company’s risk management policies and objectives are designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the Company where such impacts may be material. The Board receives regular reports from the Financial Controller through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge these risk exposures.

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these risks are set out below.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company.

20. Financial instruments (continued)

Credit risk (continued)

The Company mitigates credit risk on cash and cash equivalents by dealing with banks that have high credit-ratings assigned by Standard and Poors. There are two counterparties for Cash and Cash equivalents which are Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Bank of Western Australia Limited. Credit risk of receivables is low as it consists predominantly of GST recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office and interest receivable from deposits held with regulated banks.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is as follows:

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is as follows:
	Consolidated 2021 $ Consolidated 2020 $
Cash and cash equivalents Receivables Deposits with banks and NSW Government	2,288,432 650,725
	56,858 33,056
	175,500 160,000
	2,520,790 843,781

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligation as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an appropriate risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity requirements. The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The following table details the Company’s contractual maturities of financial liabilities:

Financial liabilities	Carrying amount $	< 12 months $	1-3 years $	>3 years $
2021
Payables	75,863	75,863	-	-

20. Financial instruments (continued)

Interest rate risk

The Company’s exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s cash holdings and short term deposits. These financial assets with variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing. The Company does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk.

At balance date, the Company was exposed to floating weighted average interest rates as follows:

At balance date, the Company was exposed to floating weighted average interest rates as follows:	At balance date, the Company was exposed to floating weighted average interest rates as follows:
Consolidated 2021 $ Consolidated 2020 $
Weighted average rate of cash balances 0.00% 0.03% Cash balances 102,836 50,328 Weighted average rate of deposits 0.41% 0.75% Deposits 2,185,596 600,397

The Company invests surplus cash in interest-bearing term deposits with financial institutions and in doing so it exposes itself to the fluctuations in interest rates that are inherent in such a market. Term deposits are normally invested between 7 to 90 days and other cash at bank balances are at call.

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is set out in the table below:

Sensitivity analysis		+1.0% of AUD IR	+1.0% of AUD IR	-1.0% of AUD IR	-1.0% of AUD IR
	Carrying amount $	Profit $	Other equity $	Profit $	Other equity $

After tax profit increase/(decrease)	-	4,718	-	(4,718)	-

The above analysis assumes all other variables remain constant.

Commodity price risk

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk. This risk arises from its activities directed at exploration and development of mineral commodities. If commodity prices fall, the market for companies exploring for these commodities is affected. The Company does not hedge its exposures.

Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities of the Company approximate their net fair values, given the short time frames to maturity and or variable interest rates.

21. Commitments

In order to maintain the Company’s tenements in good standing with the New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment – Resources and Geoscience and the Western Australia Department of Mines, the Company may be required to incur exploration expenditure under the terms of each licence. Exploration licences renewed or granted in NSW after 1 July 2016 have no exploration expenditure commitment. These commitments are not binding as exploration tenements can be reduced or relinquished at any time. The Company has however provided the combined indicative tenement expenditure commitment for both NSW and predominately WA exploration assets as stated below.

	Consolidated 2021 $ Consolidated 2020 $
	750,000 - 1,000,000 -
Payable not later than one year Payable later than one year but not later than two years
	1,750,000 -

It is likely that the granting of new licences and changes in licence areas at renewal or expiry will change the expenditure commitment to the Company from time to time.

22. Events after the balance sheet date

On 26 July 2021, the Company announced that it had now finalised its due diligence and completed the acquisition for an 80% interest in the Austin Gold Project through the acquisition of 80% of the shares in the capital of GT from the Vendor (“Acquisition”), as announced to the ASX on 7 April 2021.

The Company announced on 5 August 2021, 23 August 2021 and 22 September 2021, the status update for Diamond, RC and Air Core Drilling programs which are currently underway and in advance stages. The results of drilling programs will be provided in the forthcoming period ahead.

There were, at the date of this report, no other matters or circumstances which have arisen since 30 June 2021 that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future financial years.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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, 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.

Directors' Responsibility 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 ability of the Group 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 to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibility 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 the 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 the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement 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 Group’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 or 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.

• 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.

==> picture [167 x 20] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [120 x 842] intentionally omitted <==

47 > Silver City Minerals Limited Annual Report 2021

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, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period 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

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2021.
