DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued

==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

During the period the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Westgold until 3 December 2019. On that date the Company was de-merged from Westgold by way of an inspecie distribution of the Company’s shares to Westgold shareholders on the basis of 1 share for every 4 Westgold shares held by a Westgold shareholder on the in-specie record date.

On 3 December 2019 the Company issued a prospectus dated 3 December 2019 to raise up to $19,968,861 before costs by way of a non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer of 1 new share for every 1 share held on the entitlement offer record date, and lodged an application for admission to the official list of ASX on 4 December 2019. The ASX listing was scheduled for February 2020. In the period between 4 December 2019 and 31 December 2019 Castile was funded by loan funds from Westgold Resources Limited.

PROJECTS

The Company has two projects in the Northern Territory of Australia prospective for copper-gold and other base metals associated within iron oxide copper gold (“IOCG”) mineralising systems – the Rover Project and the Warumpi Project. The Company’s tenure also contains numerous other significant mineralisation and exciting anomalies to explore.

The Company’s primary exploration strategy is to focus on the Rover Mineral Field by targeting IOCG mineralisation through the reinterpretation of the regional controls on known mineralisation and reinterpretation of an extensive set of geophysical survey data. A significant diamond drilling budget has been allocated for diamond drilling, with six targets selected for drill testing in the short term.

The Company also plans to conduct mining studies on the Rover 1 Prospect in preparation for further drilling leading to extensive test work and feasibility studies.

During the period the Company has re-activated the established administrative offices and core yard in the township of Tennant Creek, and conducted preliminary work to re-activate the mobile exploration camp based at the Rover 1 Prospect.

Rover Project [Northern Territory]

The Rover Project is located 80 km southwest of the township of Tennant Creek where the Company has consolidated a tenement package comprising five exploration licences and two exploration retention licences, all wholly owned. The Rover Mineral Field is interpreted to be a westerly extension of the Tennant Creek Mineral Field. The Rover Field has been extensively drilled whilst a subsidiary of Westgold Resources and Metals X. A significant polymetallic iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposit has been discovered at the Rover 1 Prospect and a virgin lead zinc deposit at the Explorer 108 Prospect with previous exploration efforts.

A section of the interpreted northern tip of the Rover 1 Prospect transected the northern lease boundary and its extensions were drilled by Adelaide Resources Limited who defined a significant resource within its boundary. The Company acquired this tenement during the December 2019 half and has now taken ownership of the whole Rover 1 ore system.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding half year, except for the impact of the new Standards and Interpretations described in Note 2 below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Historical cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets, goods and services. The Company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. For the purpose of preparing the interim financial statements, the half year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

B. Statement of compliance

The financial report was authorised for issue on 13 March 2020. The interim financial statements comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the interim financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

c. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

In the period ended 31 December 2019, the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. It has been determined by the Company that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Company accounting policies as this is the Company’s first financial report since incorporation.

d. New accounting standards and interpretations

Reference Title Application date of standard AASB 16 Leases 1 January This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. 2019 The standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a ‘right-of-use’ asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a ‘right-of-use’ asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Company has adopted this standard from 1 July 2019. There has been no impact on the adoption of this standard as the Company is not party to leases which are not captured under the short term or low value exceptions.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

To the Members of Castile Resources Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Castile Resources Limited (“the Company”) which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration.

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 Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such 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

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the 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 2019 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 . As the auditor of the Company ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

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.
