3. OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

3.1. Operations review

The Company’s activities in Botswana have been severely hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. With travel to Botswana from Australia impractical during the half-year and the ongoing COVID-19 protocols implemented by the Government of Botswana aimed at avoiding and containing the spread of COVID-19, the Company confirms that no further exploration activities were undertaken.

Botswana’s COVID-19 related state of emergency, introduced in early April 2020, has been extended until March 2021. During this time, Kopore has continued to focus on planning forward work programs on its 3,588km2 of exploration ground in the Kalahari Copper Belt and renewing licenses with mandated relinquishment, as required by law.

In January 2021, reprocessing of historical Airborne electromagnetic (EM) data commenced. In early 2018, Kopore flew an airborne EM survey at the Korong Domal prospect (ASX announcement: 27 February 2018). This data is now being reprocessed by Newexco Exploration geophysicists using the Geo Science Australia Layer Earth Inversion (GALEI) algorithms. These will provide improved noise handling, giving more accurate 3d inversions of any bedrock conductors at depth, which can then be utilized in targeting future exploration work. Korong sits on the south western extension of a major regional structure that hosts both of the copper mines now in development on the Kalahari Copper Belt.

On 28 January 2021, the Company announced that it has entered into an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Murchison Copper Mines Pty Ltd over the Horseshoe West exploration Project (HW) in Western Australia. HW is immediately west of the historical Horseshoe Lights mine.

The material terms of the Agreement are:

  • Upfront Payment: $50,000 has been paid.

  • Stage one: Earn in of $1.45 million expenditure to earn a 51% beneficial interest in the Agreement Area over a two-year period. Stage one includes a minimum expenditure amount of $250,000 to be spent in year 1 (Minimum Expenditure). Kopore must expend this minimum expenditure amount before it is able to withdraw from the earn-in.

  • Joint Venture: Upon completion of the stage, one earn-in, Kopore and MCM will form an unincorporated joint venture in relation to the exploration of the Agreement Area. The parties' initial respective interest in the Joint Venture will be Kopore 51% and MCM 49%.

  • Stage two: Kopore can elect to expend an additional $1.5 million within a further 2 years to earn into an additional 19% beneficial interest in the Agreement Area. If Kopore completes the stage 2 earn in, the parties' respective interest in the Joint Venture will be Kopore 70% and MCM 30%.

  • Joint Venture expenditure: Following the earn-in, the parties must each contribute to Joint Venture expenses in proportion to their respective percentage interest in the Joint Venture or their interest will be diluted in accordance with a prescribed formula.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

As part of the minimum expenditure, Kopore has completed a detailed geophysical review of historical data which has identified new copper-gold targets. Following completion of heritage surveys the Company is planning the following exploration activities at HW:

  • Geochemical survey to provide valuable lithology, alteration, and pathfinder information.

  • New generation detailed ground or airborne magnetics, aiming to provide detailed magnetic results and possible Narracoota Formation features at depth; and

  • An RC drilling program.

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to
impairment of assets and in particular exploration assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount
of the asset is determined and is dependent upon the ability of the Group to successfully continue exploration of all areas
of interest and satisfy the requirements under AASB 6.
Specifically, the Company has reviewed its exploration tenements with regard to AASB 6 and have determined that:
the period for which the Group has the right to explore in the exploration tenements has not expired during the
period or will not expire in the near future, and is expected to be renewed;
substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the exploration tenements
is planned;
exploration will be ongoing for some time and as such it is far too early to state that a discovery of commercially
viable quantities of mineral resources has not occurred; and
as the exploration is still ongoing, there is no sufficient data to conclude that the carrying amount of the exploration
and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered.

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at reporting date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting policy stated below. The carrying value of capitalised expenditure at reporting date is $65,105 (30 June 2020: $66,427).

During the financial period, the Group undertook assessment of its tenement assets. As a result of this assessment, the Group decided that no impairment of its exploration assets was necessary.

NOTE 13
SEGMENT REPORTING
13.1 Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of
Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
The Group is managed primarily on the basis of business category and geographical areas. Operating segments are therefore
determined on the same basis.
Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar
economic characteristics. The Group considers that it has only operated in one segment, being the exploration business.
13.2 Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
13.2.1 Accounting policies adopted
The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments are in accordance with the measurement principles of
Australian Accounting Standards.
13.2.2 Inter-segment transactions
All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the Group's financial statements.
Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of
transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair
value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements.
13.2.3 Segment assets
During the half-year ended 31 December 2020 and the year ended 30 June 2020, all assets were in the same business segment,
which is the Group’s exploration business.
13.2.4 Segment liabilities
During the half-year ended 31 December 2020 and the year ended 30 June 2020, all liabilities were in the same business
segment, which is the Group’s exploration business.
13.3 Revenue by geographical region
There is no revenue attributable to external customers for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 and the half-year ended
31 December 2019.
13.4 Assets by geographical region
During the half-year ended 31 December 2020 and the year ended 30 June 2020, all reportable segment assets are located in
Africa, with the Group’s financial assets located in Africa and Australia.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

NOTE 14 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements to the extent they have not already been disclosed in the other notes above. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

14.1 Basis of preparation

14.1.1 Reporting Entity

Kopore Metals Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The Company’s registered office is at Suite 5, 62 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia. These are the consolidated financial statements and notes of Kopore Metals Limited (the Company) and controlled entities (collectively the Group). The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. The Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in the exploration, development and mining of minerals.

The separate financial statements of Kopore Metals Limited, as the parent entity, have not been presented with this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

14.1.2 Basis of accounting

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 10 March 2021 by the Directors of the Company.

14.1.3 Comparative Figures

Where required by AASBs comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum comparative financial statements is presented.

Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its
financial statements, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in
addition to the minimum comparative financial statements is presented.

14.2 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
Group'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 Group'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 non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
14.3 Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Judgements made by management in the application of AASBs that have significant effect on the consolidated financial
statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in 14.3.1.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

NOTE 14 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 14.3.1 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements Judgements, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes assumptions concerning the future. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to management. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, 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 and assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed further at Note 4.2.3. 14.3.2 Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 14.4 New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2020 reporting period have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.
