BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED CHAIRMAN’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Dear Shareholder,
What a great year 2021 turned out to be for Bulletin Resources Limited.
In future years, I think we will say 2021 was a transformative year for the Company.
We saw the continued receipt of royalties from the Geko gold mine which was a real boon for us and as I foreshadowed in last year’s report, we received net royalties of $1,797,084 with further to come, all from an initial investment of $250,000.
We managed to sell a 400m wide strip of land from our Lake Rebecca Gold Project for $4,767,000 to our neighbours which included 10,750,000 shares in Apollo Consolidated Limited, where Bulletin retains 8,600,000 shares and has seen the value of those shares increase by 10% as at the date of the report.
We, through our chief geologist Mr Mark Csar, successfully drilled our Lake Rebecca Gold Project where we definitively demonstrated that the Rebecca Gold trend continues into Bulletin’s ground holding and gold mineralisation is present. Furthermore, Mr Csar cleverly acquired several high-quality projects which has produced an interesting portfolio of tenements which we are sure, will cause interest for all shareholders. To this end, I congratulate Mark on his achievement in putting this portfolio together.
I, like last year, praise the management of Bulletin who together professionally manage the company affairs with dedication to the benefit of all shareholders.
At the time of writing this report we have quality projects, close to $10,000,000 in cash, liquids and receivables and a highly energetic team at Bulletin. We are bound for a great 2022.
Lastly, I thank all shareholders who remain loyal to Bulletin and wish them great prosperity and good health for the future.
Yours Sincerely

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Lake Rebecca Gold Project
The Lake Rebecca Gold Project is approximately 150km east north-east of Kalgoorlie, WA and comprises five granted Exploration Licenses over a 575km[2] area. The two northern tenements of E28/2600 and E28/2635, totaling 170km[2] are held in JV with Matsa Resources Ltd “Matsa” (BNR 80%: MAT 20%), whilst the remaining tenements are wholly owned by Bulletin Resources Limited “Bulletin”.
The project is in the southern part of the Laverton Tectonic Zone, a regional scale shear/fault system that is one of the more productive gold zones in the WA Goldfields. The zone hosts the Sunrise Dam, Wallaby, Red October and Granny Smith gold camps. The tenements are adjacent to, and along strike of Apollo Consolidated Limited’s (“AOP”, “Apollo”) 1.1M oz Rebecca Gold Project ( Figure 1 ).

Sale of Land Parcel to AOP
In February 2021, a 400m wide strip of land totaling 1.35km[2] of the Lake Rebecca Gold Project was sold to Apollo Consolidated Limited for a consideration of approximately A$5.6M comprising of:

BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED OPERATIONS REVIEW FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
-
10,750,000 Apollo shares (AOP share value of $0.345 at time of sale; 37.5% escrow for 6 months and 62.5% escrow for 12 months);
-
$250,000 in cash on satisfaction of certain conditions (paid prior to year end);
-
$1.0M on the earlier of the granting of a Mining Lease to Apollo over the sale area or 24 months from signing, payable in cash or AOP shares at Apollo’s election;
-
$1.0M on earlier of Apollo’s decision to mine the Rebecca Deposit or 48 months from signing, payable in cash or AOP shares at Apollo’s election;
-
Bulletin (80%) and Matsa (20%) split the consideration in proportion to their respective interests and Matsa relinquished its right to its 1% royalty on the area disposed.
Bulletin’s share of the consideration is approximately $4.76M. Separately Matsa and Bulletin agreed that Matsa would receive all the $250,000 and Bulletin would receive 100% of the first $1.0M deferred payment from AOP. The sale area was a small portion of tenement E28/2600, one of the two tenements in the Bulletin 80%: Matsa 20% JV area. As part of the transaction Apollo will acquire first right of refusal over the JV Exploration Licenses E28/2600 and E28/2635, should Bulletin and Matsa look to dispose of any or all of their interest in these tenements.
The sale enables funding for Bulletin to continue exploiting the exploration potential of its ground that now has illustrated value. The land sold to Apollo is adjacent to their Rebecca Deposit and the sale also exposes Bulletin to any success of Apollo through its shareholding as they advance development of their Rebecca deposit without tenement boundary restrictions.

BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED OPERATIONS REVIEW FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Aircore Drilling
Two substantial aircore drilling campaigns were completed during the year. Drilling on Lake Rebecca using a specialised lake aircore drill rig was followed by a land based aircore program along strike and to the north. The aircore drilling targeted anomalous gold within regolith or weathered rock above basement rocks. This near surface gold anomalism may be indicative of potential gold mineralisation at depth. Gold anomalism of > 0.1 g/t Au in the regolith led to the discovery of Apollo’s Rebecca Gold deposits.
Lake aircore drilling concluded in January 2021 which totaled 182 holes for 7,307m. Drilling showed the regolith differs significantly between the western and eastern sides of Lake Rebecca. The western portion of the salt lake overlies a typical Archean saprolite profile averaging 20m thickness beneath shallow lake cover of approximately 10m thickness. The eastern half of the salt lake is deeper than the western half and is dominated by paleo-channel or ancient river sediments that have eroded much of the saprolite profile. The paleo-channel has an average depth of 58m and consists of a series of several fining-up sequences of gravels, sands and clays.
Lake aircore drilling identified several new mineralised gold zones with drill results including:
| 2m at 2.72 g/t Aufrom 33m | 20LRAC087 |
|---|---|
| incl.1m at 4.86 g/t Aufrom 33m | |
| 8m at 0.51 g/t Aufrom 28m | 20LRAC088 |
| 7m at 0.73 g/t Aufrom 76m | 20LRAC169 |
| incl.1m at 2.03 g/t Aufrom 82m to end of hole | |
| 3m at 0.75 g/t Aufrom 76m | 20LRAC187 |
| 8m at 0.47 g/t Aufrom 72m | 20LRAC190 |
| 4m at 0.48 g/t Aufrom 20m | 20LRAC029 |
Intercepts of 2m at 2.72 g/t Au including 1m at 4.86g/t Au from 33m in hole 20LRAC087, 8m at 0.51 g/t Au from 28m and 8m at 0.32 g/t Au from 40m in 20LRAC088 include observations of elevated quartz veining and silicification within saprolite. Elevated silicification is commonly associated with gold zones further south as observed in Bulletin’s previous RC drilling and Apollo’s Rebecca Gold deposit. These new gold intercepts are interpreted to be eastward extensions of the gold zones associated with the Rebecca Gold deposit to the south and are approximately 1.2km north along strike from the new tenement boundary (Figure 4).
As well as the interpreted Rebecca lode style mineralisation in holes 20LRAC087 and 20LRAC088, a series of supergene mineralisation zones of >0.1g/t Au within saprolite including 4m at 0.48 g/t Au from 20m in hole 20LRAC029 are recognised in the western half of Lake Rebecca. The supergene mineralisation zones range to over 1km in length in the western half, and are interpreted to lie either subparallel to regional geology or in a northeast zone, possibly sympathetic to the zone of ancient drainage systems leading towards deeper portions of the salt lake.
A north striking gold mineralised zone is present in the eastern half of Lake Rebecca, sub-parallel to regional geology. Gold mineralisation in the zone is hosted in saprolite or within the lower-most portion of the paleo-channel directly above saprolite. Aircore hole 20LRAC169 ended at 83m and intersected 7m at 0.73g/t Au from 76m to end of hole with the bottom 1m returning 1m at 2.03g/t Au . The lower 3m of this interval is hosted within ultramafic saprolite, indicating mineralisation is insitu and potentially reflective of bedrock mineralisation at depth.
7
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED OPERATIONS REVIEW FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
The potential for deeper mineralisation is also supported in drilling 400m to the north with saprolite intervals of 8m at 0.18g/t Au from 76m in hole 20LRAC174 and 4m at 0.17g/t Au from 76m in 20LRAC175. Further north still, intersections of 3m at 0.75g/t Au from 76m in hole 20LRAC187 and 8m at 0.47 g/t Au from 72m in hole 20LRAC190 are hosted within paleo-channel sands immediately above basement rocks. These intervals are interpreted to represent alluvial gold that has been transported from nearby weathered basement rocks.
The successful lake aircore drill program was followed up by a land aircore program of 206 holes for 8,383m along strike and in the northern part of the tenement. Drilling extended the 2.4km lake gold anomaly to a 7km trend covering lake and land with better results including (Figure 4):
4m at 0.48 g/t Au from 20m 20LRAC301 4m at 0.31 g/t Au from 40m 20LRAC223 4m @ 0.27 g/t Au from 20m 20LRAC270
Land aircore drilling shows the anomalous gold trend continues in a less consistent pattern to the north, along the contacts of granodiorite and mafic rocks. The drilled area is dominated by transported lake clays of 5m to 80m thickness indicating the ancient or paleo lake location was further north of the current day position, consistent with observations noted in other salt lakes in the east Yilgarn. In localised areas, much of the saprolite or weathered rock profile has been eroded away by the more recent lake sediments, leaving minimal material that could have retained any supergene gold dispersion as a signature for deeper mineralisation. This localised lack of saprolite is interpreted to have limited the effectiveness of aircore drilling in these areas and alternative methods to test these areas such as RC drilling or geophysical testing will be required.
Two lines of aircore drilling spaced 800m apart tested folding associated with a NNW to SSE structural feature to the east (Figure 4). Drilling of this target returned no anomalous results. Geology in this area consists of a layer of transported sediments (< 4m thickness) and a sandstone unit (4m to 40m thickness) above saprolite of up to 10m thickness and a basement of granodiorite, granite and amphibolite.

RC Drilling
RC drilling followed up on positive results from previous the southern RC programs and along strike of extensions to Apollo’s Rebecca lodes (Figure 7).
The RC drilling program identified high grade gold zones within wider gold mineralised intercepts. The results are highly encouraging as they indicate the area has the potential for higher grade gold zones similar to those found at the Rebecca Gold deposit immediately to the south. Assay results from 1m split sampling include:
1m @ 2.49 g/t Au
within 4m at 1.24 g/t Au from 31m 21LRRC208
1m @ 3.01 g/t Au
within 11m at 1.05 g/t Au from 102m 21LRRC206
Drilling north of Bulletin’s new tenement boundary following the sale of the sliver of land to Apollo has highlighted that the Rebecca Gold trend extends at least 600m further into Bulletin’s ground and remains open to the northwest. Importantly, higher grade intercepts of 1m at 3.01 g/t Au within 11m at 1.05g/t Au in hole 21LRRC206 and 1m @ 2.49g/t Au within 4m at 1.24g/t Au in hole 21LRRC208 demonstrates the gold system in this area contains higher grade zones within wider gold intercepts. This higher grade gold zonation is seen in drilling further south at Apollo’s Rebecca Gold deposit in the development of the Laura, Maddy and Jennifer lodes and is considered to be a key driver for project economics. Infill drilling of these wide spaced RC holes as well as extensional drilling both north and south along strike is planned to test for additional higher grade zones in the Rebecca trend.
Drilling of two RC holes also tested depth extensions to the lake aircore drilling intercepts of 2m at 2.72 g/t Au including 1m at 4.86g/t Au from 33m in hole 20LRAC087, 8m at 0.51 g/t Au from 28m and 8m at 0.32 g/t Au from 40m in 20LRAC088 within saprolite (Figure 7). Assay results from 1m split sampling down dip of the western aircore hole 20LRAC087 returned a result of:
1m @ 11.30 g/t Au
within 2m at 5.86 g/t Au from 147m 21LRRC213
This intercept is hosted within a dolerite dyke near the granodiorite contact rather than typical Rebecca type mineralisation. The dyke is interpreted to have intruded into the granodiorite along deep seated faults that were the pathways for gold-bearing fluids. While the dyke has stoped out or removed Rebecca style mineralisation in this area, the presence of gold mineralisation in the dyke, along with the near surface Rebecca style mineralised saprolite seen in aircore drilling, strongly supports further work in this area. Tight spaced magnetics to accurately map the dykes are planned in this area, prior to further drilling.
Further potential also remains to be tested immediately east beneath the wider intercepts of 8m at 0.51g/t Au and 8m and 0.32g/t Au in drill hole 20LRAC088 (Figure 7). The high grade intersection of 2m @ 5.86g/t Au including 1m at 11.30g/t Au in hole 21LRRC213 beneath the saprolite intercept immediately west of this target provides strong encouragement to test this eastern target.

Ravensthorpe Lithium Project
Lithium mineralisation at the 57km[2] Ravensthorpe Lithium Project (E74/655) is hosted by the pegmatite swarms within the Anabelle volcanic sequence, along strike of Galaxy Resource’s Mt Cattlin lithium mine, 12km to the east. Previous explorers identified a series of outcropping pegmatites and costean sampling of one of the outcropping lepidolite-spodumene mineralised pegmatites returned a

result of 10m @ 1.1 %Li2O including 1m @ 2.91 %Li2O. A preliminary drill program of this pegmatite did not show adequate encouragement and the area was subsequently relinquished (refer ASX: Lithium Australia (LIT) releases dated 26 May 2017 and 1 September 2017).
Bulletin considers the decision to relinquish was made too early. Strong opportunity exists to discover economic quantities of mineralisation within known untested outcropping pegmatites. The potential in pegmatites under shallow cover is also considered high with compilation of historical data and reviews of previous work continuing. This work will develop new exploration targets as well as building plans for exploration programs to test the potential of the pegmatites.
The area is also well known for gold and several gold occurrences are known to exist nearby. Gold mineralisation is associated with thrust faulting in this area. Thrust faults have been mapped by government geologists but the potential for gold in the tenement has not been a focus of previous explorers and remains to be tested.
As part of tenement conditions, a Phytophthora Disease (Dieback) Management Plan has been developed and approved by DMIRS. The plan follows best environmental practices and includes several measures to prevent the spread of the dieback disease, including limiting on-ground activity to the drier months of the year.

Chifley Gold Project
The Chifley Gold project, E28/3002 is a 79km[2] exploration tenement that is prospective for gold. It is approximately 50km to the south of Lake Rebecca and on a northwest trending splay of the Claypan Fault. The Claypan Fault is a major north-south structure that hosts the nearby 1Moz Lake Roe gold deposit owned by Breaker Resources NL (ASX: “BRB”) 20 kilometers to the northwest.
The project is dominated by a band of mafic-ultramafic greenstone on the northern flank of a large granitoid pluton (Figure 9). There are several discrete magnetic highs within the greenstone which appear analogous to the gold mineralised setting seen at Lake Roe to the west and Roe’s Find to the north.
The area is dominated by sheetwash or transported colluvium sands. A program of Ultrafine[TM] soil sampling, developed by CSIRO for exploration in this environment is planned as an initial test for this project.

Duketon North Project
The 176km[2] Duketon North Project is targeting nickel and gold and is located 150km north-northwest of Laverton. The project lies within the highly prospective Duketon Greenstone belt that hosts Regis Resources’ 3Mtpa Moolart Well gold operations 30km to the south and the 9,300t Ni Olympia Nickel deposit 35km to the north (Figure 10).
Geology at Duketon North comprises of a series of mafic and ultramafic, felsic volcanic and volcaniclastics, and associated sedimentary units including BIF. The sequence has been disrupted by several phases of faulting and folding which has resulted in a steep westerly dip and northwest strike to the stratigraphy. Surface geology comprises aeolian sands and stabilised sand dunes with minor hardpans and laterite development. The Turnback fault is a major regional shear zone that dominates the tenement and it is host to the Moolart Well gold deposit to the south.
Previous exploration on the tenement is limited and has largely been focused in the north of the tenement at the Collurabbie South prospect where aircore drilling intersected 4m @ 0.75%Ni, 684ppm Co beneath an intersection of 4m @ 0.13%Cu in hole CBA074. A number of conductors were identified in an electromagnetic (EM) survey and five diamond holes were drilled. The diamond drilling identified barren sulphides but the EM conductor associated with the anomalous aircore drill hole CBA074 was not tested and remains to be followed up (refer ASX:REN prospectus dated 28/04/2010).
Gold exploration at Collurabbie South followed earlier nickel work. Wide spaced aircore drilling of a 4km long gold-in-soil anomaly in the north of the tenement failed to explain the surface anomaly (refer ASX: BRB announcement dated 31/10/2016). Further work in the area is required to resolve the source of the gold-in-soil anomalism.
The potential in the south of the tenement along the Turnback fault towards Moolart Well and to the east on an isolated folded greenstone belt remains to be explored. The area to the south has been initially tested with wide spaced soil sampling which has likely been limited in effectiveness by the extensive aeolian sand plains. Ground EM in the area identified four conductors of which only one has been tested which intersected barren sulphide bearing sediments. The remaining 3 conductors, including the strongest conductor of the four, still require testing with drilling.

BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED OPERATIONS REVIEW FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
As at 31 July 2021, Bulletin has received a royalty entitlement of $3.48M of which a payment of $1.08M has been made towards the royalty acquisition cost for a net receipt of $2.40M.
Bulletin retains a 30% profit share after an initial $9 million profit threshold has been achieved by the mine and a 30% joint venture on the remainder of the mining tenement at Geko.
Tenement Applications
Bulletin is actively reviewing opportunities and acquiring prospective landholding that has geological and economic prospectivity within practical haulage distance to existing infrastructure, operating mines or advanced projects.
A brief summary of tenement applications is provided below.
Powder Sill (E16/534) is located 30km northwest of Kalgoorlie and 15km from Evolution Resources’ Mungari Mill. The tenement application is within the Powder Sill Complex, an intrusive unit which hosts La Mancha’s 1.8M oz gold White Foil Mine and 139k oz gold Cutters Ridge deposit to the south.
Yindana tenement applications E28/3075, E28/3076 and E28/3077 are considered prospective for gold and are located between Bulletin’s Lake Rebecca Gold Project and Breaker Resources Limited’s Lake Roe project, 16 kms to the west. The tenements overlie and are adjacent to a series of faults that separate felsic-intermediate volcaniclastics and mafic volcanics. Tenement E28/3074 is in ballot with Breaker Resources Limited.
The Mt Farmer project comprises two tenement applications (E59/2412 and E59/2413). The tenements are located in the Dalgaranga Greenstone belt and host co-incident magnetic and gravity anomaly highs that are comparable to the setting of the Dalgaranga gold mine, 10km along strike to the east.
The Warburton Project (E69/3800) targets a sediment hosted or sediment-exhalative copper horizon in the West Musgrave Province. The tenement is located approximately 100km west of OZ Minerals’ Nebo-Babel copper-nickel project. The 258km[2] tenement application area includes a large number of shallow artisanal workings and known anomalous copper sites. Discussions with the local aboriginal community in order to access the land are ongoing.
Mt Jewel (E24/221) is 60km[2] in area and lies 60km north of Kalgoorlie in an area prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation. This tenement application was assessed by DMIRS to be second in line in the application process behind an application that resulted from a plaint process on the previously held tenement. Bulletin considers the probability of its tenement application being successful as very low but retains the application in case the preceding tenement application fails.

20
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
The financial position of the Group is good with an expected ongoing royalty expected from the Geko gold project and the ability of the Group to reduce expenditure if necessary while still keeping its projects in good standing.
Given the exploration nature of the Company’s operations the net impact of the pandemic was estimated to be minor on the Group’s operations. The over-arching objective of the Group is to keep its employees and stakeholders safe and free from infection and/or spread.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
In the opinion of the Directors there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the year under review that has not already been disclosed in this report or in the financial statements.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORTING DATE
On 3 August 2021 Bulletin announced that it had received its June 2021 quarter production royalty entitlement of $899,358 from the Geko gold mine. A payment of $299,486 from the Bulletin royalty entitlement was made towards part payment of the $3.25M acquisition cost from the total Bulletin royalty entitlement, resulting in a net amount received of $599,872 on 30 July 2021.
On 9 August 2021 Bulletin announced that it was undertaking a capital raising of up to $3.63M via a fully underwritten non-renounceable rights issue to raise $2.69M as well as placements to raise up to an additional $945,000. The non-renounceable rights issue is being conducted on a 1 for 3 basis priced at $0.045 per share to raise up to $2.69M (before costs of the issue). For every three shares issued, there is one free attaching option exercisable at $0.10 each expiring 30 September 2024.
On completion of the non-renounceable rights issue the Company has placed a further 20M shares and 6.67M options to raise $900,000 and has also placed 45M options at an issue price of $0.001 each to raise $45,000. The proceeds from the capital raising will be directed towards ongoing exploration at the Company’s projects and identification and acquisition of new project opportunities.
On 1 September 2021 Frank Sibbel resigned as a director of the Company.
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and whilst it has had no financial impact for the Group up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
There have been no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year which 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.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Other than as described above there are no further likely developments.

B. REMUNERATION POLICY

Remuneration Committee
In the opinion of the directors the Company is not of sufficient size to warrant the formation of a remuneration committee. It is the board of directors’ responsibility for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and the senior executives.
23
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
The board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Non-Executive Directors and Executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high performing Director and Executive team.
Remuneration Approval Process
The board approves the remuneration arrangements of the Executive Directors and Executives and all awards made under the long-term incentive plan. The board also sets the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors which is then subject to shareholder approval.
Remuneration Strategy
The Company’s remuneration strategy is designed to attract, motivate and retain employees and nonexecutive directors by identifying and rewarding high performers and recognising the contribution of each employee to the continued growth and success of the Group.
To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:
-
retention and motivation of key executives;
-
attraction of quality management to the Company; and
-
performance incentives which allow executives to share the rewards of the success of the Company.
Remuneration Structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Senior Management remuneration is separate and distinct.
Remuneration report at 2020 Financial Year AGM
The 2020 financial year remuneration report received positive shareholder support at the 2020 annual general meeting with a vote of 100% in favour.
Non-Executive Director Remuneration
Objective
The board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.
Remuneration Policy
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the Directors as agreed. The current aggregate remuneration is $350,000 per year.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The board considers advice from
24
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
external consultants as well as the fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. No external advice was received during the year.
Non-Executive Directors are encouraged by the board to hold shares in the Company (purchased by the Director on market). It is considered good governance for Directors to have a stake in the Company on whose board he or she sits.
Structure
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors consists of Directors’ fees. Non-Executive Directors are entitled to receive retirement benefits and to participate in any incentive programs. There are currently no specific incentive programs.
The Chairman receives a base fee of $48,000 per annum during the financial year. The Non-Executive Directors received a base fee of $36,000 per annum during the financial year for being a Director of the Group apart from Daniel Prior who has a current base fee of $2,000 per month (including superannuation).
There are no additional fees for serving on any board committees. Non-Executive Directors can receive additional fees for work conducted for the Company outside the scope of their normal duties subject to being authorised by the board.
During the year there were a Short Term Incentive (STI) payment totalling $105,000 were paid to the Directors for the abnormal time, effort and resources incurred in completing negotiations on the sale of part of the Lake Rebecca gold project to Apollo Consolidated Limited.
The remuneration report for the Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 is detailed in this report.
Executive Remuneration Structure
Remuneration Policy
The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company. The current remuneration policy adopted is that no element of any executive package be directly related to the Company’s financial performance. There are no elements of any executive remuneration that are dependent upon the satisfaction of any specific condition. Remuneration is not linked to the performance of the Company but rather to the ability to attract and retain executives of the highest calibre. The overall remuneration policy framework however is structured in an endeavour to advance/create shareholder wealth.
Structure
In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the board engages external consultants as needed to provide independent advice.
Remuneration consists of the following key elements:
-
Fixed remuneration (base salary and superannuation); and
-
Variable remuneration (short and long term incentives).
25
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration for each Executive for the year ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 is detailed in this report.
Fixed Remuneration
Executive contracts of employment do not include any guaranteed base pay increase. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the board. The process consists of a review of the Company, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration internally and externally and, where appropriate, external advice independent of management.
Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company.
The fixed remuneration component for executives for the year ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 is detailed in this report.
Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentive (STI)
The objective of the STI is to link the increase in shareholder value over the year with the remuneration received by the Executives charged with achieving that increase. The total potential STI available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the Executives to achieve the performance goals and such that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances.
Annual STI payments granted to each Executive depend on their performance over the preceding year and are based on recommendations from the Chairman following collaboration with the board. The board has no pre-determined performance criteria against which the amount of a STI is assessed and there are no pre-determined maximum possible values of award under the STI scheme. In assessing the value of an STI award to be granted the board will give consideration to the contribution of the action being rewarded to the success of the Group. During the year a discretionary STI cash payment of $9,132 was paid for the abnormal time, effort and resources incurred in completing negotiations on the sale of part of the Lake Rebecca gold project to Apollo Consolidated Limited.
Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (LTI)
The objective of the LTI plan is to reward Executives in a manner which aligns the element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As such LTI’s are made to Executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have an impact on the Group’s performance. The level of LTI granted is, in turn, dependent on the Company’s recent share price performance, the seniority of the Executive and the responsibilities the Executive assumes in the Group.
LTI grants to Executives are delivered in the form of employee share options. These options are issued at an exercise price determined by the board at the time of issue. There were no options issued to executives for the year ended 30 June 2021.
26
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
Typically, the grant of LTI’s occurs at the commencement of employment or in the event that the individual receives a promotion and, as such, is not subsequently affected by the individual’s performance over time. However, under certain circumstances, including breach of employment conditions, the Directors may cause the options to expire prior to their vesting date.
The Group does have a policy to prohibit executives or directors from entering into arrangements to protect the value of unvested LTI awards.
Other Benefits
Key management personnel can receive additional benefits as non-cash benefits as part of the terms and conditions of their appointment. Non-cash benefits typically include car parking and expenses where the Company pays fringe benefits tax on these benefits.
Company Performance and the Link to Remuneration
Remuneration is not linked to the performance of the Company, but based on the ability to attract and retain Executives of the highest calibre. The overall remuneration policy framework however is structured in an endeavour to advance/create shareholder wealth.
The table below shows the performance of the Group as measured by share price.

BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The consolidated financial report of Bulletin Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 29 September 2021.
Bulletin Resources Limited is a for-profit entity limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.
The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2021 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”).
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) 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 and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
(b) Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board which include International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
(c) Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures
Adoption of new accounting standards
In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on 1 July 2020.
The Group has reviewed the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the year ended 30 June 2021. As a result of this review the Group has determined that there is no significant impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted by the Group. Accordingly, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
36
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent entity and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’) as at 30 June each year.
Control is achieved where the company has exposure to variable returns from the entity and the power to affect those returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a consolidated entity controls another entity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.
Where there is loss of control of a controlled entity, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting period during which the Company has control.
Changes in ownership interest of a subsidiary (without a change in control) are accounted for as a transaction with owners in their capacity as owners.
(e) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when or as the Group transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the Group expected to be entitled. If the consideration promised includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.
Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably). Royalties determined on a time basis are recognised on a straightline basis of the period of the agreement. Royalty arrangements that are based on production, sales and other measures are recognised by reference to the underlying arrangement.
(f) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed in the year they are incurred apart from:
-
(i) acquisition costs which are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves; and
-
(ii) joint venture expenditure on the Geko joint venture which is capitalised and designated as a separate area of interest.
37
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(f) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure (continued)
Where an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated acquisition costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs are written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.
(g) Financial Instruments
Trade and other receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.
Trade and other receivables are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. The deferred consideration has been recognised on this basis.
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. For trade and other receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9 to determine any allowances for expected credit losses, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience. The amounts held in trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history of these trade and other receivables, it is expected that the amounts will be received when due.
The Group’s financial risk management objectives and policies are set out in Note 23.
Due to the short-term nature of these receivables their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value.
Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on settlement date where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned. They are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
The Group classifies its financial assets as either financial assets at fair value though profit or loss (“FVTPL”), fair value though other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortised cost. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For investments in equity instruments, the classification depends on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at FVTPL or FVTOCI.
Financial assets at FVTPL
For assets measured at FVTPL, gains and losses will be recorded in profit or loss. The Group’s derivative financial instruments are recognised at FVTPL. Assets in this category are subsequently measured at fair value. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists. Refer to Note 23 for additional details. The Group has elected to measure its listed equities at FVTPL.
38
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(g) Financial Instruments (continued)
Financial assets at OCI
For assets measured at FVTOCI, gains and losses will be recorded in other comprehensive income. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVTOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
Assets in this category are subsequently measured at fair value. The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices in an active market.
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand, and short-term deposits.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(i) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating profit or loss after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
-
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
-
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 revenue 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.
(j) Property, Plant and Equipment
Impairment
The carrying value of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
39
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(j) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.
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 Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period the item is derecognised.
(k) Income Tax
Current Tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
40
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(k) Income Tax (continued)
Current and Deferred Tax for the Period
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.
(l) Employee Entitlements
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to Reporting Date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within 1 year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than 1 year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
(m) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense GST. Cash flows are stated on a gross basis.
(n) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Provision for Rehabilitation Costs
The Group is required to decommission and rehabilitate mines and processing sites at the end of their producing lives to a condition acceptable to the relevant authorities.
The expected cost of any approved decommissioning or rehabilitation program, discounted to its net present value, is provided when the related environmental disturbance occurs. The cost is capitalised when it gives rise to future benefits, whether the rehabilitation activity is expected to occur over the life of the operation or at the time of closure. The capitalised cost is amortised over the life of the operation and the increase in the net present value of the provision for the expected cost is included in financing expenses. Expected decommissioning and rehabilitation costs are based on the discounted value of the estimated future cost of detailed plans prepared for each site. Where there is a change in the expected decommissioning and restoration costs, the value of the provision and any related asset are adjusted and the effect is recognised in profit or loss on a prospective basis over the remaining life of the operation.
41
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(n) Provisions (continued)
The estimated costs of rehabilitation are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate for changes in legislation, technology or other circumstances. Cost estimates are not reduced by potential proceeds from the sale of assets or from plant clean up at closure.
(o) Share Based Payments
Equity settled transactions
The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors and Executives) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, 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 of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, further details of which are given in the remuneration report.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Bulletin Resources Limited.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service 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 Group’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 Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income 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.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as 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 equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
42
BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(p) Segment Reporting
Operating Segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of Directors of Bulletin Resources Limited.
(q) Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are deducted from equity.
(r) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obligated to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(s) Research and development incentive rebate
Any rebate received for eligible research and development (R&D) activities are offset against the area where the costs were initially incurred. For R&D expenditure that has been capitalised, any claim received will be offset against ‘deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure’ in the statement of financial position. For R&D expenditure that has been expensed, any claim received will be recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(t) Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
Recoverability of Exploration and Evaluation Assets
There is some subjectivity involved in the carry forward of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure or, where appropriate, the write off to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, however management give due consideration to areas of interest on a regular basis and are confident that decisions to either write off or carry forward such expenditure fairly reflect the prevailing situation.
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimate 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:
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts of Coronavirus (COVID-19) has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events and conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

(t) Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions (continued)
Share-based payment transactions
The Group 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 a Black & Scholes model, using the assumptions as discussed in note 15. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

(c) Capital risk management
The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The net assets of the Group are equivalent to capital. Net capital is obtained through capital raisings on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The board of Directors monitors capital on an ad-hoc basis. No formal targets are in place for return on capital or gearing ratios, as the Group has not derived any income from its mineral exploration and currently has no debt facilities in place.

16. EARNINGS PER SHARE (continued)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The Company has included share options and rights on issue in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share for the current financial period.
17. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

(b) Valuation models of options issued
The fair value of the options is estimated at the date of grant, being 28 November 2019, using a BlackScholes model. The following table gives the assumptions made in determining the fair value of the options granted in the financial year. The options vested immediately.
| Dividend yield (%) | - |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility (%) | 85.7 |
| Risk-free interest rate (%) | 0.62 |
| Expected life of options (years) | 3 |
| Option exercise price ($) | 0.027 |
| Share price at grant date ($) | 0.021 |
| Fair value at grant date (cents) | 1.02 |
The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur.
The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.
Weighted average remaining contractual life
The weighted average remaining contractual life for share options outstanding as at 30 June 2021 is 0.92 years (2020: 1.94 years).
Weighted average fair value
The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the financial year was nil (2020: 1.49 cents).

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Risk exposures and responses
The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group’s financial targets while protecting future financial security.
The main financial risks are interest rate risk, commodity risk, credit risk, equity price risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and commodity prices. Ageing analysis of and monitoring of receivables are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.
The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.
Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the board. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below.
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 2(g) to the financial statements.
The accounting classification of each category of financial instruments as defined in note (2(g)), and their carrying amounts, are set out below:
a) Interest Rate Risk Exposures
The Group’s exposure to risks of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to the Group’s cash balances. The Group constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. The sensitivity analysis is for variable rate instruments.
The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk. At 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is not deemed material.
The Group's exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for classes of financial assets are set out below:

The weighted average interest rate received on cash and cash equivalents by the Group was 0.25% (2020: 0.65%).
b) Credit risk
The Group does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk. Credit risk is managed by the board and arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as credit exposure including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. All cash balances held at banks are held at internationally recognised institutions. The majority of receivables are immaterial to the Group. Given this, the credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due or impaired can be assessed by reference to historical information about expected credit loss rates.
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks. The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings. Financial assets that are neither past due and not impaired are as follows:
| 2021 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 971,561 | 1,160,916 |
| Trade and other receivables | 2,699,358 | 563,660 |
(c) Commodity Price Risk
The Group’s revenues are exposed to commodity price fluctuations, in particular the gold price impacts the Geko gold royalty receivable and royalty payable.
(d) Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to equity funding. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to cash assets and floating interest rates. The Directors monitor the cash-burn rate of the Group on and ongoing basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk.
As at the reporting date the Group had sufficient cash reserves to meet its requirements. The Group has no access to credit standby facilities.
The financial liabilities of the Group had at the reporting date were trade and other payables incurred in the normal course of business as well.

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)
Maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities based on management’s expectation
The risk implied from the values shown in the table below, reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. Trade payables and other financial liabilities mainly originate from the financing of assets used in ongoing operations. To monitor existing financial assets and liabilities as well as to enable effective controlling of future risks, management monitors its Group’s expected settlement of financial assets and liabilities on an ongoing basis.

(e) Equity Price Risk
Other Equity price risk is the risk that the value of the instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer or all factors affecting all instruments traded in the market.
Investments are managed on an individual basis and material buy and sell decisions are approved by the board of Directors. The primary goal of the Group’s investment strategy is to maximise investment returns.

BULLETIN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)
The Company’s investments are solely in equity instruments. These instruments are classified as financial investments and carried at fair value with fair value changes recognised directly in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The following table details the breakdown of the investment assets held by the Group:
| Note Listed equities (Level 1 fair value hierarchy) 7 |
30 June 2021 $ 30 June 2020 $ 2,709,600 105,840 |
|---|---|
Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s equity investments are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. A 10% increase in stock prices at 30 June 2021 would have increased the profit by $270,960 (2020: decrease the loss by $10,584), an equal change in the opposite direction would have decreased the profit by an equal but opposite amount.
(f) Fair value measurements
For all financial assets and liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position, carrying amount approximates fair value unless otherwise stated in the applicable notes.
Fair value hierarchy
The Group classifies assets and liabilities carried at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in determining that value. The following table analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by the valuation method. The different levels in the hierarchy have been defined as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
-
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
All financial assets have been valued at Level 1 at the end of the financial year.

24. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Exploration and Expenditure Commitments
In order to maintain the mineral tenements in which the Company and other parties are involved, the consolidated entity is committed to fulfill the minimum annual expenditure conditions under which the tenements are granted. The minimum estimated expenditure commitment requirement for granted tenements for the next year is $278,000 (2020: $154,000).
Contingencies
The Group has a contingent asset being the royalty receivable on the Geko gold project as detailed in Note 8(ii). This royalty is reduced by a capped amount of $3.25M at a rate of 3.33% per ounce which is only payable from the royalty received. At the date of this report it is not practicable to determine the financial effect of the contingent asset.
The Group has a 1% net smelter royalty payable on all minerals derived from the Lake Rebecca joint venture tenements. At the date of this report it is not practicable to determine the financial effect of the contingent liability.
The Group, via its wholly owned subsidiary, Gekogold, has a 30% interest in the Geko gold project tenement area outside the Geko gold mine. Habrok operates the joint venture and at this time has not advised of a joint venture budget.
There are no other contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2021.
25. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
On 3 August 2021 Bulletin announced that it had received its June 2021 quarter production royalty entitlement of $899,358 from the Geko gold mine. A payment of $299,486 from the Bulletin royalty entitlement was made towards part payment of the $3.25M acquisition cost from the total Bulletin royalty entitlement, resulting in a net amount received of $599,872 on 30 July 2021.
On 9 August 2021 Bulletin announced that it was undertaking a capital raising of up to $3.63M via a fully underwritten non-renounceable rights issue to raise $2.69M as well as placements to raise up to an additional $945,000. The non-renounceable rights issue is being conducted on a 1 for 3 basis priced at $0.045 per share to raise up to $2.69M (before costs of the issue). For every three shares issued, there is one free attaching option exercisable at $0.10 each expiring 30 September 2024.
On completion of the non-renounceable rights issue the Company has placed a further 20M shares and 6.67M options to raise $900,000 and has also placed 45M options at an issue price of $0.001 each to raise $45,000. The proceeds from the capital raising will be directed towards ongoing exploration at the Company’s projects and identification and acquisition of new project opportunities.
On 1 September 2021 Frank Sibbel resigned as a director of the Company.
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and whilst it has had no financial impact for the Group up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Bulletin Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration.

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 Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
