REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating results
The Company recorded a loss for the period ended 31 December 2020 of $669,422 (2019; $1,539,659).
At 31 December 2020 the Company held cash and term deposit balances of $3,303,432 (30 June 2020; $3,910,650).
West Kimberley Project (BUX/IGO JV)
The West Kimberley is targeting Nova-style magmatic Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation in Proterozoic belts of the West and East Kimberley.
A total of 3,762.6 metres of diamond drilling across five holes has been completed during the 2020 field season. The program is managed and funded by IGO Ltd (IGO).
Drillhole collar locations and surveys are provided in the ASX announcement released on 13 October 2020. The IGO geologists’ visual estimates of sulphide mineralogy, abundance and form are also provided in the ASX announcement released on 13 October 2020.
On 29 October, Buxton updated the market that the 2020 field season in the West Kimberley has been completed. IGO has advised Buxton of the following updates:
-
Two diamond drillholes have been completed at the Quick Shears prospect with no significant mineralisation intersected – the targeted EM anomalies were explained by sedimentary sulphides and confirmed with downhole EM.
-
In total, 3762.6m of diamond drilling has been undertaken across five locations, being three at Merlin (refer ASX announcement 2nd October 2020), and the two reported on 29th October drilled at Quick Shears. A total of 3,020m of down hole EM has been undertaken (all 5 drillholes were surveyed).
-
Further work undertaken during the field season by IGO included:
-
Completion of a detailed regional aeromagnetic-radiometric survey
-
Approximately 800 surface geochemical samples collected over the Quick Shears and Fireant prospects (assays pending)
-
265 Moving Loop EM and 127 Fixed Loop EM stations

BUXTON RESOURCES LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
- Regional historic stream sediment geochemical datasets being collated, digitised and analysed to aid target generation for the 2021 field season
The Sentinel area has been targeted as a priority exploration setting due to the presence of high-MgO ultramafic intrusions and large, folded sills of the prospective Ruins Intrusive Suite. This area has been covered by standard AEM, radiometrics, SPECTREM AEM, and preliminary surface geochemical traversing. Numerous anomalies have been targeted for follow-up exploration in 2021.
IGO has indicated their upcoming planned work program may include:
-
Aeromagnetic interpretation
-
Target generation, field season 2021 planning and ground rationalization
-
Interpretation of the Phase 1 HMC samples
-
Retrieval of the remaining West Kimberley HMC samples
Narryer Project (100% BUX)
During the Half Year, Buxton lodged applications for three Exploration Licenses over an area exceeding 1,800 km[2] in the Narryer Terrain of Western Australia (see ASX Quarterly Activities Report released on 30[th] October 2020). These applications cover gravity anomalies and associated ultramafic rocks of multiple ages which are located on the margin of the Yilgarn Craton and are considered prospective Ni-Cu-PGE deposits.

BUXTON RESOURCES LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Lateron Project (BUX 100%)
During the Half Year, Buxton lodged and application for Exploration License E80/5545 located approximately 10 km East of Billiluna and 150 km South of Halls Creek in Western Australia.
Historic diamond drilling by AFMECO in 1982 targeting roll front uranium mineralization in Paleozoic sediments intersected shallow “basement” rocks at 77.5 m depth in (vertical) hole S-19 comprising a “basic foliated coarse grained pyroxenite containing abundant pyrite, hematitic quartz veins and dolerite differentiations” (WAMEX A12421). AFMECO reported no geochemical assay results for any of their drill holes which were instead logged by a geophysical tool sensitive only to uranium mineralisation.
Recent (2008) detailed airborne magnetic surveys indicate that this suite of mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks cover in excess of 7 km[2] . None of the other nearby holes penetrated the Paleozoic sediments to intersect these magnetic anomalies.
Buxton intends to investigate the potential for magmatic and/or hydrothermal base & precious metal mineralisation associated with these sulphide bearing intrusions.

Goldmember Project (100% BUX)
==> picture [413 x 383] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 3: Jeffrey gold anomaly (outline shown) with gridded gold in infill soils and calcrete sampling results
Previously, Buxton updated the market that a newly discovered and undrill-tested 5km[2] gold in soil anomaly has been defined by soil sampling. The 100% BUX owned Goldmember Project is a 1,414 km[2] package of tenure located in the Eastern Goldfields district of Western Australia. The tenure package consists of two Exploration Licenses granted in January 2020 and six surrounding applications.
BUX has completed soil sampling on a 1km grid basis over the entirety of E15/1919 and E28/2922. This work identified several areas which were subsequently followed-up by infill soil sampling at 500m and 125m spacing. This work has resulted in the definition of a distinct soil gold anomaly named Jeffery which is about 4km x 2km elongated to the north-northwest (Figure 3). Thirteen calcrete samples within and around the Jeffery soil anomaly area were collected and selected for assaying as part of the infill program. Three calcrete

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
samples within the Jeffrey soil anomaly area returned over 20 ppb Au with a maximum of 26.5 ppb Au. This result is highly encouraging as it provides evidence of a proximal bedrock source of the gold.
==> picture [434 x 370] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4: BUX Soil Sampling at Goldmember
Interpretation of magnetics (Figure 5) indicates that this soil anomaly lies within a demagnetized zone adjacent to a large circular feature (a relatively late Archean intrusion) and adjacent to several major structures, including the suture between the Kalgoorlie and Kurnalpi terranes, both of which host world class gold deposits. The Jeffery anomaly also lies along a drainage divide / hinterland and away from the valley floor – a landscape setting where soil sampling is more likely to reflect proximal bedrock gold enrichment.
Several interested parties undertook review of Buxton’s technical database for the Goldmember Project during the Half Year.
Subsequent to balance date, Buxton secured a Program of Work authorisation from DMIRS to conduct RAB drilling over an 8 km2 area within E15/1719. This area hosts the newly discovered and previously undrilled Jeffrey Prospect.

BUXTON RESOURCES LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The Jeffrey Prospect is a ~5km[2] gold in soil anomaly which has been defined by Buxton’s 2020 soil sampling programs (refer to BUX ASX announcement 30[th] April 2020 for details regarding the soil sampling results and for additional technical background). Buxton’s initial RAB program aims to detect a bedrock source for the soil anomaly. The extent of this initial RAB program will depend on drilling conditions, the depth of cover and results of field geological observation and portable XRF readings.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Arizona Projects
Buxton has been actively pursuing copper opportunities in the southwest USA. This region represents one of the major endowments of copper known in the Earth’s crust and includes three of the top 10 jurisdictions for mining investment according to the 2018 Fraser Institute Annual Survey of Mining Companies (Nevada, Utah and Arizona).
Buxton has incorporated a subsidiary USA entity called Buxton Resources Arizona LLC. Buxton has also engaged contractors to commence the process of seeking the grant of new licences in 2 areas to secure subsurface mineral rights with previously identified copper resources in Arizona and New Mexico.
Buxton will update the market with further details in the event of a material development from the pursuit of copper opportunities.
Fraser Range Joint Venture
Independence Group has been undertaking systematic greenfields exploration in the Fraser Range targeting Nova style (magmatic Ni-Cu-Co sulphide) discoveries within over ~15,000km2 of regional tenure. Exploration spend has been in the region of ~$20m per annum for several years.
Buxton and IGO entered into a joint venture agreement for two tenements in the Fraser Range, Widowmaker E28/2201 and Zanthus E28/1959, in 2016 whereby Buxton retained a 10% free carry to decision to mine and IGO manages all exploration (refer to BUX ASX announcement 24 August 2016).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
This general purpose financial report for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .
This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any ASX announcements made by Buxton Resources Limited during the interim period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
Amendments to AASBs and new Interpretations which are mandatorily effective for the current reporting period
For the period ended 31 December 2020, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current reporting period.
New Standards and Interpretations on issue not yet adopted
The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the period ended 31 December 2020. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations on issue not yet adopted on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
Significant Accounting Judgements and Key Estimates
The preparation of the interim financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this half-year report the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020.
NOTE 2: SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the full Board of Directors.
The Company operates in predominantly one business and geographical segment, being mineral exploration in Australia.

Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-Year Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Com in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of 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 annual 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 review report.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Half-Year Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
