Bruce Project
The Bruce Gold Prospect is located ~300km by road from Alice Springs and has good access. The prospect is 13km north of the Plenty Highway which has been sealed to the Harts Range town site with upgrade of the unsealed road to the east in progress.
The gossanous and ferruginous quartz veins at Bruce extend for over 1.5km in an east-west direction within a sequence of mica schist, calcsilicate and amphibolite that form part of the Irindinia Gniess. The veins are 1-2m thick and dip at a shallow angle to the north (~15 degrees) and are interpreted to be thrust faults. Previous sampling by the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) returned a highest grade of 53g/t Au[1] .
Shree Minerals commenced exploration fieldwork at the Bruce Gold Project in September 2020 to locate extensions to the mineralised quartz veins and determine the extent and thickness of the soil cover. Twentytwo rock samples and fifty-seven auger soil samples were collected by Shree geologists. Rock chip samples were taken along the eastern extension of the main mineralised vein set, starting approximately 300m from the rock chip sample taken by the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) that contained grades of up to 53g/t Au[1] . The sampling identified two new mineralised centres (Figure 2). An area located 250m south of known mineralised quartz veins and an area located 1.5 kms south east of known mineralised quartz veins. Rock chip samples taken from a poorly exposed quartz vein 250m south of the main E-W trending quartz veins contained 0.52g/t Au and 1.07% Cu[2] .

The aim of the orientation soil sampling program was to determine the optimal sample depth and sample size fraction that best reflects the bedrock geochemistry. Soil sampling conducted by previous companies suggests the veneer of sand cover in the prospect area is geochemically inert and can shield the bedrock response. The
Page 4
D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T
orientation soil sampling program indicates that the deeper and coarser soil fraction gives the best geochemical response.
A site visit was undertaken in May 2021 to conduct additional reconnaissance mapping of the quartz veins and workings at the Bruce Gold Prospect and to take additional rock chip samples along the gold mineralised trend. Eighteen rock chip samples were collected and submitted to the laboratory for analysis of gold and multielements. Assay results will be reported when available.
The eastern portion of the quartz vein located to the east of the station boundary fence and access track is a single well defined quartz vein that forms a low rubbly ridge (Figure 3). Close to the access track there is a shallow working sunk on a ferruginous quartz vein with green copper carbonate (malachite) staining (Figures 4-5). Immediately west of the access track the quartz vein is poorly exposed where it divides into two main veins with possible linking structures. The veins change orientation from east-west to east northeast and appear to have been disrupted by a cross cutting structure forming a possible dilation zone.

Drill chips on the surface from previous Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling conducted in 2008 indicate that Olympia Resources focussed on a small portion of the quartz vein immediately west of the access track where exposure of the veins is relatively poor. One of the two drill traverses was mostly ineffective with only one hole drilled directly on the vein. The second traverse was better located, stepping out at intervals to intersect the interpreted position of the shallow north dipping vein, although in an area of poor exposure.
Shree has commenced planning for a drilling program at the Bruce project to provide a more effective test of the mineralised quartz vein system. Discussions have commenced with landholders and Native Title holders to obtain land access approvals.

Edwards Creek Project
The Edwards Creek Project (EL32420) covers 76 km sq and is located 110km by road north of Alice Springs. Access is via the Stuart Highway and the Plenty Highway. It is located within the Aileron Province (Figure 1).
The Edwards Creek prospect is centred on a ‘siliceous gossan’ that forms a prominent brown ferruginous ridge (Figure 6-7). Green malachite staining prompted the acquisition of exploration licences over the prospect in the 1970s. In 1980, CRAE identified an electromagnetic (EM) conductor associated with the siliceous gossan and drilled two diamond drill holes (DD80EC01 and DD81EC02) intersecting stratabound base metal mineralisation. Better historic results include.
4.5m at 2.25% Cu, 0.11% Pb, 1.54% Zn, 0.14 g/t Au from 47.45m1 in hole DD80EC02[3] Includes 0.72m at 7.11% Cu, 1.9% Zn, 0.24 g/t Au.
Territory Exploration Pty Ltd acquired new EM data over Edwards Creek in 2017 and identified a strong EM conductor that was interpreted to be caused by sulphide mineralisation at depth. Two reverse circulation holes were drilled to test the conductor intersecting relatively weak zones of copper mineralisation in a clay zone. No further work was conducted.

Figure 6: Edwards Creek ferruginous ridge (gossan) Figure 7: Malachite staining on strongly oxidised ferruginous quartz rock
Shree considers the source of the strong conductor at Edwards Creek is not adequately explained and the mineralisation remains open down dip and along strike. The project requires further assessment of the EM surveys discussed above using modern filtering and modelling techniques to design better targeted drilling. Additional holes drilled to test the strong EM conductor identified by CRA may be surveyed with downhole electromagnetics (DHEM) to assist modelling and targeting. Sree will also review previous exploration data to assist targeting of the mineralised horizon along strike where drilling has not been conducted previously.

D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T
Reconnaissance work and sampling is required around the mapped syncline, as well as regional reconnaissance.
In late May 2021, a reconnaissance trip was made to the project to assess access and to check the location of copper and base metal occurrences recorded by previous exploration companies and the Northern Territory Geological Survey.
Sixteen rock chip samples were taken at Edwards Creek and have been submitted to the laboratory for analysis of gold, copper and multielements. Results will be announced when available. The site visit has confirmed the presence of copper and base metal occurrences at the Edwards Creek gossan and the extensions to the north and south within the folded sequence of felsic and mafic granulite, marble, calcsilicate and amphibolite. Copper mineralisation is most evident within the siliceous gossan where it forms green malachite coatings on rockfaces. Lead-zinc mineralisation in the form of white oxide coatings on rocks occurs along strike to the north within carbonate rocks.
Reconnaissance mapping in the broader Edwards Creek area has resulted in the discovery of a new copper occurrences ~750m to the east of the main gossan. The new occurrences comprise coarse ironstone with malachite staining within a poorly exposed horizon ~1m wide (Figure 8-9). The ironstone horizon is exposed intermittently for over 200m trending in a north-easterly direction (Figure 10). This new occurrence has not been reported by previous exploration companies that focussed exploration work on the area around the main gossan.

==> picture [223 x 148] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 8: Poorly exposed ironstone containing malachite (copper carbonate) Figure 9: Malachite stained ironstone
The trend of the mineralised ironstone does not fit with previous mapping and interpretations of the geology that have been largely based on mapping originally conducted in 1985. The new copper occurrences suggest the structural setting may be more complex than previously thought.
Shree plans to remodel the electromagnetic data to assist with targeting before conducting a drilling program. Additional geological mapping, rock chip sampling and soil sampling is also planned with particular emphasis on the strike extensions of the known copper mineralisation and the newly discovered copper occurrences.

Box Hole Project
The Box Hole Project (EL32419) covers an area of 127km sq located approximately 250 kilometres northeast of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory (Figure 1).
The project is prospective for large tonnage carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits of the Mississippi Valley Type (MVT). Examples of this type of deposit in Australia include the Cadjebut and Blendevale Mines near Fitzroy Crossing in Western Australia.
Box Hole is centred on the King’s Workings that were mined by hand in the 1960’s for galena. 15 tonnes of galena with an average grade of 66% Pb, 58.5g/t Ag and 0.43% Bi[4] was hand-picked and sold to the Broken Hill Smelter.
Page 8
D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T
The Pb-Zn mineralisation is hosted by a mixed carbonate and shale sedimentary sequence within the Georgina Basin. The mineralisation is generally associated with silicified dolostone containing gossans that extend for over 6km in a north-south orientation parallel to faulting and anticlinal hinges (Figure 11). The faults could represent growth faults that have acted as conduits for hydrothermal fluids derived from the basin. The most significant exploration program was completed by Uramet Minerals in 2007-9 comprising various IP and gravity surveys, geochemical surveys and shallow drilling. Uramet conducted RAB drilling of only selected gravity and IP targets, interpreted to be less than 75m deep. The best intersection was:
12m at 2.8% Zn, 0.67% Pb from 17m in HDB045[4] Includes 1m @ 14.7% Zn, 0.3% Pb from 24m.
==> picture [234 x 378] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 11: Geological plan of the Box Hole project area (Penna 2009).
There are several strong deep IP anomalies that were not RAB drilled by Intercept (Uramet). The IP anomalies provide significant target positions, especially those that were considered too deep by Intercept Minerals. Several IP anomalies are coincident with regional faulting (possible growth faults), adding weight to their prospectivity. The IP anomalies may represent mineralisation leakage from a more substantial mineralising system or significant mineralisation proximal to an unknown growth fault.
In July 2021, Shree signed a research agreement with CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, to assist with data compilation and exploration targeting at the Box Hole Project. The research project aims are to evaluate and reprocess existing geophysical, lithological and geochemical data as the basis for building a 3D model of the prospect and improving understanding of the controls on the lead-zinc mineralisation.

D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T
The project outcome is to create an integrated dataset that will improve targeting for exploration drilling. The data evaluation and re-processing will include: VTEM data inversion, gravity modelling, geochemical and lithological data evaluation, structural analysis and 3D structural modelling.
The project was made possible by CSIRO Kick-Start, an initiative that provides funding and support for innovative Australian small businesses to access CSIRO’s research expertise and capabilities to help grow and develop their business. The total cost of the research project is $59,773 of which 50% ($29,886.50) will be funded by the Kick-Start Program.

Dundas Project
The Dundas Project is located approximately 60km east of Norseman in the Albany Fraser Province of Western Australia (Figure 12). The project straddles the south east extension of the Boulder Lefroy Fault Zone and Zuleika Shear Zone that host multiple >1 Moz gold deposits such as the Fimiston, St.Ives and Mungari mines.
==> picture [310 x 205] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 12. Regional Location of the Dundas Project
Only very limited historical exploration has been carried out in the area due to the thin blanket (usually 5 – 10m) of transported cover. One km spaced auger soil traverses undertaken by AngloGold Ashanti Australia (AngloGold) and a localised RAB/RC drilling program by Pan Australian Resources during the 1990’s has identified the presence of gold mineralisation hosted by mafic rocks in E63/2046. Reported intersections include:
T4RC032 2m @ 3.5g/t Au from 23m[5] T4RC042 1m @ 2.1g/t Au from 87m T4RC0018 1m @ 1.2g/t Au from 53m
The mineralisation remains open and the associated Au and Cu soil geochemistry (AngloGold’s data) suggests the mineralisation is much more extensive than indicated by drilling. Several large and robust gold in soil geochemical anomalies, up to 6 kms in length, are spatially associated with the interpreted BLFZ in E63/2048 and represent a high priority for drilling for Shree Minerals.
Shree is progressing regulatory requirements to have the tenements granted and secure access approvals prior to commencing fieldwork.

Ulysses South Project.
The project area consists of one ELA (E40/384) that is located 30 kms south of Leonora and 6 kms north of Shree’s Golden Chimney exploration licence (E40/378). The new tenement is located 15 kms south of the developing Ulysses Group of Gold Mines (Figure 14).

Figure 14: Regional location of the Ulysses South & Golden Chimney Projects
The 100% owned tenement has been previously explored by several companies including Money Mining (19921996), Asarco Pty Ltd (1984-1988), and Consolidated Gold Operations (1995-1996). The most comprehensive exploration within the area of E40/384 was conducted by Aberfoyle during the period from 1995-1996. Aberfoyle conducted aeromagnetic interpretation, soil and vacuum drilling and RAB and RC drilling. Figure 15 summarises Aberfoyle’s soil geochemistry contours and the maximum gold (ppm) in RAB drilling.
Regolith mapping by previous workers and drilling has shown this tenement is mostly underlain by laterite and weathered transported overburden, sometimes up to 60m deep in the western edge of the tenement. As such, the subtle soil anomalies may be more significant here than less covered terrains.
Of note is RAB hole ROCW375 where 4 separate gold intervals were intersected within the weathered saprolitic zone (Figure 15). Best intersections include:
ROCW0385 1m @ 0.31g/t Au from 42m[6] 1m @ 0.14g/t Au from 45m
RAB hole ROCW0387 is also anomalous to the north.
ROCW0387 4m @ 0.18g/t Au from 30m
No follow up drilling was conducted.

Golden Chimney Project
The project is located 40km south of Leonora (Figure 14). The world class deposit known as the Sons of Gwalia Gold mine occurs within this geological terrain (1.9 Moz Au in reserve at a grade of 7.5 g/t Au and past production of 4 Moz Au). Other significant and economic deposits include King of the Hills Mine (resources of 380,000oz Au), Tower Hill (625,000oz Au in resources), and Kallis– Trump and Ulysses (760,000oz Au in resources).
Figure 16 illustrates the geochemical soil contours derived from the auger traverses completed in July 2019. Coherent near - surface gold anomalism is located over mostly mafic and felsic rocks as interpreted from aeromagnetic images and geological mapping. Three prospects were RC drilled; the Golden Chimney prospect, the Golden Chimney East and Golden Chimney West prospects. Only the Golden Chimney prospect, has been drilled by previous workers.

Golden Chimney Prospect.
In 1993, historical RC drilling of soil and rock chip anomalies at the Golden Chimney prospect intersected broad zones of low-grade gold mineralisation including 26m @ 0.36 g/t Au in RCGC014 from 6m, 15 m @ 0.46 g/t Au in RCGC07 from 12m and 5 m @ 0.47 g/t Au in RCGC011 from 102 m. These intersections are illustrated in Figure 17. Drilling encountered a mineralised structure containing common coarse crystalline arsenopyrite and pyrite.
The positions of the recently completed RC drill holes at the Golden Chimney prospect are also illustrated in Figure 17. Drilling was aimed at extending the mineralisation in a south westerly direction (holes 19GCRC01, 19GCRC02) and in a north-easterly direction (hole 19GCRC04). A 45° south westerly plunge to the mineralisation was also tested by hole 19GCRC03. Altered quartz gabbros and dolerites containing common arsenopyrite and pyrite was seen in the four drill holes. Extensive carbonate haloes were a feature of the alteration.

Golden Chimney East Prospect.
Four RC drill holes tested the auger soil anomaly at Golden Chimney East. Drill hole positions with respect to the anomalous geochemistry are illustrated in Figure 18. Mainly dolerites and gabbros were intersected. The highest assay in drilling was from hole 19GCRC05 (Hole 8 in Figure 18) where 4m @ 118 ppb was received from 72-76m (4m composite sample).

Figure 18: Location of the recently completed RC drill holes at the Golden Chimney East prospect.
Golden Chimney West Prospect.
Golden Chimney West is located 2.2 kms west of the Golden Chimney Prospect in E40/378. An auger soil exploration program completed in September 2019 generated gold anomalism in several auger holes with grades up to 27 ppb Au. Three separate areas were outlined by the anomalous 20ppb Au geochemical contour (Figure 19). Two RC drill holes (19GCRC010 and 19GCRC011) tested only one of the 20 ppb soil anomalies in November 2019. Holes were drilled to 108m and 100m respectively.
Drilling intersected two silicified quartz feldspar porphyries within a suite of dolerites and gabbros. Very fine sulphides (possibly pyrite) were visible within the extremely calcareous porphyries. Drilling assays (4m composite samples) did not exceed 50 ppb Au.
==> picture [421 x 329] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 19: Golden Chimney West auger soil geochemistry (ppb Au) on the aerial photo. 2019 RC drill holes are also shown. Two 20 ppb Au soil geochemical anomalies remain to be evaluated.
As there are two soil anomalies, outlined by the 20 ppb Au soil contour, yet to be evaluated by drilling, in Figure 19, further work is being considered at Golden Chimney West. A thin (0.3m) veneer of transported colluvium and alluvium over the area suggests geological mapping and the collection of rock chips is ideally suited to defining new drill targets.
In order to target further drilling, Induced Polarization (IP) geophysics may be applicable to the pyrite altered mafic sequence at Golden Chimney. IP is a commonly-used geophysical survey method for measuring the electrical properties of subsurface rock.
Extensional drilling at Golden Chimney may be warranted. Auger Au and As geochemistry contours suggest the mineralisation may be open to the south-west of hole 19GCRC01. Additionally, assays received from drill hole 19GCRC03 confirm the down dip continuity of the south easterly dipping mineralisation and a new drill hole in between 19GCRC03 and RCGC11 may be warranted.

Rock Lodge Project
Exploration Licence, EL9155 (formerly ELA 6147) has been granted over the historic Rock Lodge gold workings near Cooma in the Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW (Figure 20). The Rock Lodge Project covers an area of 163 km² and is located 35 km south of Cooma. It is prospective for orogenic, Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS) and skarn related gold mineralisation.
==> picture [298 x 361] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 20: Regional location of Shree’s granted Rock Lodge project, south of Cooma, within the East Lachlan Fold Belt.
The Rock Lodge prospect exhibits high-grade polymetallic mineralisation associated with structurally controlled epigenetic massive sulphide veins. The grades intercepted during historical drilling show the area is highly mineralised and the mineral assemblages are like other major mineral deposits within the Canberra to Cooma region of the Ordovician Lachlan Fold Belt.
The East Lachlan Fold Belt has a long history of mineral production including gold (80 Mozs), copper (13 Mt), lead, zinc, silver and tin. It contains several large operating copper and gold mines including Evolution Mining’s Lake Cowal Gold Mine, Newcrest Mining Ltd.’s giant Cadia Mine. Also located within the East Lachlan Fold Belt is Alkane Resources’ 2019 market moving Boda discovery (502 metres at 0.2% copper and 0.48 g/t gold from 211 metres).
The Project (EL9155) covers a folded sequence of Ordovician aged Adaminaby Group shales/siltstones and Gungoandra Siltstones. At the Rock Lodge prospect there is a steeply dipping sequence of predominantly siltstone with sandstone interbeds to the west and carbonaceous shales to the east (Figure 21). The siltstones and shales have been locally silicified and disseminated pyrite is common throughout the foliated rock sequence.
Page 17
D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T
The Rock Lodge prospect has been explored by only two companies in the last fifty years. Their exploration programs progressed to RC and diamond drilling, but significant intersections were not followed up. In addition, consideration was not given to the prospectivity away from the old workings. Several target areas generated from geochemical and geophysical surveys at Rock Lodge were not followed up, including the Monaro Prospect and the Bobundara Gold Mine.
Historical exploration from 1988 – 2018 has included diamond drilling, RC drilling, IP geophysics, rock chip sampling, stream sediment sampling, trenching and acquisition of IP data on a 3.5km grid. Rock chip sampling of outcropping quartz veins at Rock Lodge by Southern Gold NL returned assay results of up to 11.1g/t Au[7] . Diamond drilling (SGDH01 to SGDH011) in 1985 targeted the historic workings. The holes intersected up to 8m of massive sulphide with recorded grades up to 4.28g/t Au, 35g/t Ag, 0.79% Cu and 13.5% Zinc[8] . Diamond hole SGDH08 intersected 12m @ 1.2 g/t Au, 9.8 g/t Ag and 0.2% Cu. The location of these holes is illustrated in Figure 22.
The mineralisation is associated with massive and disseminated pyrite‐arsenopyrite‐chalcopyrite‐sphalerite sulphides and quartz, within host phyllites and sandstone of the Adaminaby group. This is exposed on the surface as a distinct gossan and ironstone.
Six RC holes (MYRC001 to MYRC006) were also drilled underneath old workings at Rock Lodge by Alt Resources in 2018[9] . Significant drilling intercepts by Alt Resources included:
-
MYRC001, 3m @ 2.1 g/t Au, 3.7 g/t Ag and 174 g/t Bi from 17m and 2m @ 2.7 g/t Au, 11.8 g/t Ag, 300 g/t Bi and 0.48% Cu from 62m.
-

The Rock Lodge Exploration Licence (EL9155) was granted on 4[th] May 2021. Shree plans to conduct a field reconnaissance and rock chip sampling program to confirm the results reported by previous companies. A drilling program will then be conducted to test the mineralised trends along strike and at depth. Geochemical surveys will also be conducted to locate additional targets in the area that has been poorly explored in the past.

Turondale Project
The Turondale Project (EL9017) is located in the East Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW, 15km north of Bathurst.
Shree completed a review of previous exploration at the Turondale Project in 2020 and conducted an interpretation and target generation study (refer ASX announcement of 8th September 2020).
Following the target generation study, stream sediment sampling was selected as the most cost-effective sampling technique in the well-drained and elevated terrain. Seventy-four stream sediment samples have been collected at Turondale.
Regional stream sediment sampling at Turondale has identified two standout gold anomalies at Oakey Creek and Box Ridge South, illustrated in Figure 23. At Oakey Creek, highly anomalous assays up to 126 ppb Au[10] , against statistical background assays of 1.4 ppb Au, are located along the Oakey Creek, within EL9017. The anomalous samples are clustered together along Oakey Creek, suggesting the peak assay of 126 ppb Au is not a spurious or isolated occurrence of gold.

Similarly, a clustering of anomalous samples is present at Box Ridge South, where assays up to 4.5 ppb Au have been received against statistical background assays of 1.4 ppb Au.
The anomalous river catchments are also spatially associated with structural dislocations of the regional geology. The Oakey Creek catchment in Figure 23 is spatially related to an area with more intense folding of the sedimentary rock units. Such folding may give rise to the focussing of gold-bearing fluids along zones with strong cleavage or axial planar faulting and shearing associated with the folding.
At Box Ridge South, the anomalous river catchment is spatially related to a possible structural trend along strike of the Box Ridge Gold Workings, located 6 kms to the north in Figure 23. The Box Ridge Prospect is a typical goldbearing quartz reef common within the Hill End Trough. Gold mineralisation is hosted in north-south trending ‘pinch and swell’ quartz veins within folded volcanics and sediments. The quartz veins have widths ranging from 0.3m to 3m and extend up to 2.4km along strike (Derriman, 2014)[11] .
Another priority target area is located near the historic alluvial and hard-rock workings at Cheshire Creek and Winburndale prospects (Figure 23), where highly encouraging geochemical results were reported by Nickel Mines Ltd (NML) in 1972, (Lynch 1972)[12] . Stream sediment samples (-80 mesh) returned highly anomalous assays of up to 2.5 g/t Au within several creeks draining radially from a hill 2km long by 1.5km wide. Copper and lead values were also highly anomalous with values up to 3700 ppm Cu and 980 ppm Pb. The source of the gold and base-metals is interpreted to be from the central hill that comprises a folded sequence of interbedded sediments and volcanic rock.
Shree is planning follow up reconnaissance mapping and rock chip sampling to determine the source of the anomalous stream sediment geochemistry. Soil sampling may then be required to define the target prior to drill testing.

Nelson Bay River Iron Ore Project (“NBR Project”)
Shree’s wholly owned Nelson Bay River Project (“NBR” or the “Project”) including Mining Lease 3M/2011 is engaged in the mining and shipment of iron ore. The location of the Mining Lease 3M/2011 is shown in Figure 24.
==> picture [366 x 219] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 24: Location Plan – NW Tasmania
The Project is within an established mineral province in the region. Operating mines include Grange Resources’ (ASX: GRR) Savage River Iron Ore and MMG’s Roseberry Mine.
The project has three types of resources: Direct Shipping Ore (“DSO”), Beneficiable low-grade resource (“BFO”) and a Magnetite Resource.
The NBR occurrence is a 4km long magnetic feature (anomaly). The iron mineralisation is hosted by a steeply SW dipping mafic dyke, intruded into siliciclastic country rocks. The magnetic feature has been divided into two parts, northern and southern.
NBR was previously producing direct shipping Iron Ore (Fines and Lump) products until being placed on care and maintenance since June 2014 following sharp iron ore price falls.
Following the recent improvement in Iron Ore Prices, Shree is proposing to re-open the mine and is seeking environmental permit from Tasmanian EPA. These would allow the company to complete the existing DSO pit (“SDSO”) by extracting, processing (crushing and screening) and shipping the remaining hematite ore. The NBR product (DSO Lump and Fines) has been very well received and is in demand by customers due to its low impurities like alumina (Al2O3) at only 1.3%.
As part of the process, a working Draft Development Proposal & Environment Management Plan (“DPEMP”) has been prepared earlier this year to facilitate finalisation of various technical studies & plans. While the progress during the quarter was hampered due to COVID issues, the company is working in consultation with EPA to finalise the DPEMP.
The SDSO pit is proposed to be deepened to mine the remains of the near-surface oxidised ore body, comprising DSO hematite, to a depth of approximately 80 m.

OTHER TENEMENTS
Shree Minerals’ exploration activities for the year in review were confined to those referred to in this report. However, the Company can report that all other tenements remain in good standing and meet statutory requirements.
OUTLOOK
The Company has now assembled an exciting portfolio of exploration projects in Gold & Base metals in Australia.
Securing these new tenements along with our current exploration projects, now provides the Company an exciting portfolio of early to mid-stage highly prospective opportunities in Gold & Base Metals. These projects have not benefited from modern exploration techniques, in an emerging area which has an established reputation as a world-class mineral province. We believe this will be an inflection point in our journey as an emerging explorer in this very exciting sector.
Additionally, iron ore price environment since late 2018 has been supportive for restart of NBR operations.
The Company is targeting DPEMP finalisation this year to facilitate progress to next stage of approval process. On that basis, the Company hopes to be in a position to consider decision for recommencement of the mine in coming months.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The full Board fulfils the roles of remuneration committee (the “Committee”) and is governed by the Company’s adopted remuneration policy. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308 (3c) of the Corporations Act 2001.
REMUNERATION POLICY
This policy governs the operations of the Committee. The Committee shall review and reassess the policy at least annually and obtain the approval of the Board.
General Director Remuneration
Shareholder approval must be obtained in relation to the overall limit set for non-executive directors’ fees. The Directors shall set individual Board fees within the limit approved by shareholders.
Shareholders must also approve the framework for any broad-based equity-based compensation schemes and if a recommendation is made for a director to participate in an equity scheme, that participation must be approved by the shareholders.
Executive remuneration
The Company’s remuneration policy for executive directors and senior management is designed to promote superior performance and long-term commitment to the Company. Executives receive a base remuneration which is market related, and may be entitled to performance-based remuneration at the ultimate discretion of the Board.
Overall remuneration policies are subject to the discretion of the Board and can be changed to reflect competitive market and business conditions where it is in the interests of the Company and shareholders to do so.
Page 27
D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T
Executive remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee having regard to performance, relevant comparative information, and expert advice.
The Committee’s reward policy reflects its obligation to align executive’s remuneration with shareholders’ interests and to retain appropriately qualified executive talent for the benefit of the Company. The main principles of the policy are:
-
a. reward reflects the competitive market in which the Company operates;
-
b. individual reward should be linked to performance criteria; and
-
c. Directors and executives should be rewarded for both financial and non-financial performance.
The total remuneration of executives and other senior managers consists of the following:
-
a. salary - directors, executives and senior manager receive a fixed sum payable monthly in cash;
-
b. bonus - directors, executives and nominated senior managers are eligible to participate in a profit participation plan if deemed appropriate;
-
c. Long-term incentives - directors, executives, and nominated senior managers may also participate in employee share and share-option schemes, with any share and option issues generally being made in accordance with thresholds set in plans approved by shareholders. The Board however, considers it appropriate to retain the flexibility to issue shares and options to executives outside of approved employee option plans in exceptional circumstances; and
-
d. Other benefits - directors, executives and senior managers are eligible to participate in superannuation schemes and other appropriate additional benefits.
Remuneration of other executives consists of the following:
-
a. salary - senior executive receives a fixed sum payable monthly in cash;
-
b. bonus - each executive is eligible to participate in a profit participation plan if deemed appropriate;
-
c. long term incentives - each senior executive may, where appropriate, participate in shares and share option schemes which have been approved by shareholders; and
-
d. Other benefits – senior executives are eligible to participate in superannuation schemes and other appropriate additional benefits.
Non-executive remuneration
Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors. The Remuneration Committee recommends the actual payments to directors and the Board is responsible for ratifying any recommendations, if appropriate. The maximum aggregate remuneration approved for non-executive directors is currently $200,000.
It is recognised that non-executive directors’ remuneration is ideally structured to exclude equity-based remuneration. However, whilst the Company remains small and the full Board, including the non-executive directors, are included in the operations of the Company more intimately than may be the case with larger companies the non-executive directors are entitled to participate in equity-based remuneration schemes.
All directors are entitled to have their indemnity insurance paid by the Company.
Profit participation plan
Performance incentives may be offered to directors, executives, and senior management of the Company through the operation of a profit participation plan at the ultimate discretion of the Board. Currently, there is no such plan in practice for last 5 years.
Details of remuneration
Key Management Personnel (KMP) comprises the executive and non- executive directors only during FY2021.
Page 28
D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T
The Company has paid insurance premiums in respect of directors’ and officers’ liability and legal expenses insurance contracts for current and former directors, executive officers and secretary. The directors have not included details of the premium paid in respect of the directors’ and officers’ liability; as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.
The remuneration for Key Management Personnel of the Company during the year and the previous year was as follows:

END OF REMUNERATION REPORT
COVID 19
The COVID-19 crisis continues to cause significant damage to communities across Australia and the world. Since the outbreak in January 2020, SHH has continuously monitored developments around the world along with guidelines introduced by the Federal and State Governments and health authorities to minimise the risks that COVID-19 presents to us. As the Company does not currently have any Revenue generating activities, there were no financial impacts on the Company. However, the progress of re-permitting activities as well as field exploration activities were adversely impacted during the period.
Meetings of Directors
During the financial year, 4 formal meeting of Directors (including committees of directors) was held. Attendances by each Director during the year were as follows:
| Board | Meetings | |
|---|---|---|
| Meetings | Meetings held | |
| Director | attended | whilst in office |
| Sanjay Loyalka | 4 | 4 |
| Martin Bennett | 0 | 0 |
| Amu Shah | 4 | 4 |
| Davide Bosio | 4 | 4 |
The full Board fulfils the role of remuneration, nomination, and audit committees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This financial report includes the financial statements and notes of Shree Minerals Limited, a Company domiciled and incorporated in Australia.
Statement of Compliance
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
Accounting standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes thereto comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Shree Minerals Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
Basis of Preparation
Historical cost convention
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and, as a result, the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021 does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
Significant efforts have been made to preserve cash and reduce costs and secure additional finance, however material uncertainties over the future cash flows exist.
The Company continues to engage with its stakeholders and continues to monitor opportunities from interested investors to raise additional equity for the business. In addition, the Company continues to focus efforts on improving liquidity through:
-
the implementation of further cost improvement initiatives;
-
continuation of voluntary payroll reductions; and
-
Raising share capital or debt as and when required.
The Company also carefully manages discretionary expenditure in line with the Company’s cash flow.
The financial report has therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied in the preparation and presentation of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021 and comparative information.
New and amended standards adopted by the Company for these financial statements
The Company has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards which have become applicable for the current financial reporting period.
Initial adoption of AASB 2020-04: COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions
AASB 2020-4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions amends AASB 16 by providing a practical expedient that permits lessees to assess whether rent concessions that occur as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and, if certain conditions are met, account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications.
Initial adoption of AASB 2018-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business
AASB 2018-6 amends and narrows the definition of a business specified in AASB 3: Business Combinations , simplifying the determination of whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition. Entities may also perform a calculation and elect to treat certain acquisitions as acquisitions of assets.
Initial adoption of AASB 2018-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material
This amendment principally amends AASB 101 and AASB 108 by refining the definition of material by improving the wording and aligning the definition across the standards issued by the AASB.
Initial adoption of AASB 2019-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark
This amendment amends specific hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from the potential effects of the uncertainty caused by interest rate benchmark reform.
Initial adoption of AASB 2019-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual Framework
This amendment amends Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other pronouncements to reflect the issuance of Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting by the AASB.
The standards listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.
a. Income Tax
The income tax expense (benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Page 40
S H R E E M I N E R A L S L T D
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
b. Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed by directors first when indicators of impairment exist and thereafter annually to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the company includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Page 41
S H R E E M I N E R A L S L T D
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
| Class of Fixed Asset | Depreciation Rate |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 20% |
| Motor Vehicle | 20% |
| Leased Assets | 50% |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
c. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable resources.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are transferred to Mine Development and amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable resources (refer to Mine Development below).
A regular review for impairment is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.
d. Mine Development
Mine development represent the accumulation of all exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred in respect of a project in which mining has commenced or in the process of commencing. When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of mine property after the commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the mine property only when substantial future economic benefits are thereby established, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production.
Amortisation is provided on a unit of production basis (other than restoration and rehabilitation expenditure detailed below) which results in a write off of the cost proportional to the depletion of the proven and probable mineral reserves.
The Company defers waste stripping costs for matching costs with the related economic benefits. Stripping costs incurred in the period are deferred to the extent that the current period ratio exceeds the life of mine or
Page 42
S H R E E M I N E R A L S L T D
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
pit ratio. Such deferred costs are then charged in subsequent periods, the ratio falls short of the life of mine or pit ratio. The life of mine or pit ratio is obtained by dividing the volume of waste mined either by the volume of ore mined. The life of mine or pit waste-to-ore ratio is a function of an individual mine's pit design and therefore changes to that design will generally result in changes to the ratio. Changes to the life of mine or pit ratio are accounted for prospectively. Deferred stripping costs are included in Mine development costs.
The net carrying value is reviewed regularly and to the extent to which this value exceeds its recoverable amount, the excess is either fully provided against or written off in the financial year in which this is determined.
The Company provides for environmental restoration and rehabilitation at site which includes any costs to dismantle and remove certain items of plant and equipment. The cost of an item includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity incurs when an item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during that period. This asset is depreciated on the basis of the current estimate of the useful life of the asset.
In accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets an entity is also required to recognise as a provision the best estimate of the present value of expenditure required to settle the obligation.
e. Financial Instruments
Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine the fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:
-
amortised cost;
-
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and
-
fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
Page 43
S H R E E M I N E R A L S L T D
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Classifications are determined by both:
-
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets; and
-
the entities business model for managing the financial asset.
i. Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):
-
they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
ii. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
The Company measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met:
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset.
For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI.
Upon initial recognition, the Company can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading.
iii. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Company designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.
Page 44
S H R E E M I N E R A L S L T D
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, gains and losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment
From 1 July 2018, the Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
f. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
g. Interests in Joint Operations
The Company’s share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint operations are included in the appropriate items of the financial statements.
h. Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been
Page 45
S H R E E M I N E R A L S L T D
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.
Equity-settled compensation
The Company operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black–Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
i. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
j. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
k. Revenue and other income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant conditions will be met.
l. Inventories
Crushed Ore at site and port and run of mine ore stockpiles are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price (in the ordinary course of business assuming sales are made at the end of the reporting period such that applicable price for the next month to coincide with time it reaches customer’s discharge port), less estimated costs of completion and costs of selling final product.
Cost is determined using the weighted average method and comprises direct purchase costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead costs, including depreciation and amortisation, incurred in converting materials into finished goods.

S H R E E M I N E R A L S L T D
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
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 (“ATO”). 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. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
n. Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
o. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company. The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Company recognises management’s best estimate for asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred. Actual costs incurred in the future periods could differ materially from the estimates. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of this provision.
Key Judgements – Ore reserve and resource estimates
The Company estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by Competent Persons (as defined in the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Resources (the JORC Code). These are taken into account in the calculation of depreciation, amortisation, impairment, deferred mining costs, rehabilitation and environmental expenditure.
In estimating the remaining life of the mine for the purposes of amortisation and depreciation calculations, due regard is given, not only to remaining recoverable ore contained in reserves and resources , but also to limitations which could arise from the potential for changes in technology, demand, and other issues which are inherently difficult to estimate over a lengthy time frame.
Where a change in estimated recoverable ore over the remaining life of the mine is made, depreciation and amortisation is accounted for prospectively.
The determination of ore reserves and remaining mine life affects the carrying value of a number of the Company’s assets and liabilities including deferred mining costs and the provision for rehabilitation.
Key Judgements – Units-of-production depreciation
Estimated recoverable ore over the remaining life of the mine are used in determining the depreciation and / or amortisation of mine specific assets. This results in a depreciation / amortisation charge proportional to the depletion of the anticipated remaining life of mine production. Each item’s life, which is assessed annually, has regard to both its physical life limitations and to present assessments of economically recoverable ore over the remaining life of the mine of the mine property at which the asset is located. These calculations require the
Page 47
S H R E E M I N E R A L S L T D
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of recoverable ore over the remaining life of the mine and estimates of future capital expenditure.
Key Judgements – Inventories
Costs incurred in or benefits of the productive process are accumulated as Crushed Ore at site and port and run of mine ore stockpiles. Net realisable value tests are performed at least annually and represent the estimated future sales price of the product based, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tonnes added and removed from the Stockpile. Stockpile tonnages are verified by periodic surveys.
Key Judgements – Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance sheet date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting policy stated in note 1(c). The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits are likely either from future exploitation or sale or where activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. The determination of a Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) resource is itself an estimation process that requires varying degrees of uncertainty depending on subclassification and these estimates directly impact the point of deferral of exploration and evaluation expenditure. The deferral policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events or circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available.
Key Judgements – Mine Development expenditure
Mine Development expenditure are carried forward in respect of each identifiable area of interest where a mineable resource has been established and published as per JORC guidelines and has reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment that necessary steps to commence a mining development for that area have been commenced. Refer to the accounting policy stated in note 1(d). The net carrying value of each area of interest is reviewed using long term commodity price forecasts from within the range of forecasts by Industry analysts as per note 1(d).
Key Judgements- Determining the lease term of contract with renewal and termination options- Company as lessee
The Company determines the lease term as non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company has a lease contract that includes an extension option. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the renewal option of the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal. After the commencement date, the Company re-assesses the lease term if there is a significant event or a change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g.: construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the leased asset).
Key Judgements Rehabilitation Provision
The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment.
The Company makes a provision for restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs as soon as the obligation arises. Cost estimates at the start of each project / stage are capitalised and charged to the income statement over the life of the project through depreciation and amortisation of the asset.
Page 48
S H R E E M I N E R A L S L T D
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Costs are estimated using either the work of external consultants or internal experts. Management uses its judgement and experience to provide for these estimated costs at higher of the estimated costs or the security for rehabilitation costs provided to the Government authorities.
Significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining the provision for mine rehabilitation as there are numerous factors that will affect the ultimate costs incurred. These factors include estimates of the extent and costs of rehabilitation activities, technological changes, regulatory changes etc. These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided.
p. Operating segments
Identification and measurement of segments – AASB 8 requires the ‘management approach’ to the identification measurement and disclosure of operating segments. The ‘management approach’ requires that operating segments be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker, for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. This could also include the identification of operating segments which sell primarily or exclusively to other internal operating segments.
q. Accounting standards not yet effective
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Company have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The Board expects no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
r. Contributed equity
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
s. Earnings per share
Basic Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profits after income tax attributable to members of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares during the year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The value of the Company’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon the:
-
the continuance of the economic entity rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
-
the results of future exploration; and
-
the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.
The exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to Aboriginal people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.

(d) Capital risk management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Company’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Company’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 are as follows:
| Cash and cash equivalents Other receivables Prepayments Trade and other payables, lease liability and provisions Working capital position NOTE 15: ACCUMULATED LOSSES AND RESERVES a.

NOTE 19: OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
There are no related party transactions except for payments in normal course of business at arm’s length and for remuneration payments as disclosed in the Remuneration Report.
NOTE 20: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
a. Financial Risk Management
The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks and receivables and payables.
The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for the Company’s operations.
Derivatives are not currently used by the Company for hedging purposes. The Company does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments.
i. Treasury Risk Management
The senior executives of the Company meet on a regular basis to analyse currency and interest rate exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.
ii. Financial Risks
The risks the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
Interest rate risk
The Company does not have any debt that may be affected by interest rate risk.
Sensitivity analysis
At 30 June 2021, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 25 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the Company would have been $2,453 lower/higher (2020 $7,600 lower/higher) as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents.
Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows. The decision on how the Company will raise future capital will depend on market conditions existing at that time. All the financial liabilities of the Company will mature within 12 months, except for the non-current lease liability which amounted to $7,033 as at year end.
Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the Statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the economic entity.

b. Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. All financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their carrying amount.
The carrying value of other receivables and trade and other payables and lease liability are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
c. Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities comprises:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SHREE MINERALS LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

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 Company 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 (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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matters
How the Matter was Address in the Audit
Issued Capital
The Company’s contributed equity as at 30 June 2021 amounted to $23,062,121 (refer to Note 14 to the financial statements). During the year 455,499,999 ordinary shares were issued resulting in a net increase in issued capital of $4,012,431 net of capital raising costs.
Significant amount of audit effort was spent on ensuring that issued capital was accounted for correctly and disclosed appropriately in the financial report.
Issued capital is a key audit matter due to the quantum of share capital issued during the year.
Inter alia, our audit procedures included the following:
-
i. Obtained an understanding of the underlying transactions which occurred;
-
ii. Verified all issued capital movement to relevant ASX announcements;
-
iii. Vouched proceeds from capital raisings to bank statements and other supporting documentation;
-
iv. Verified underlying capital raising costs and ensured these costs were appropriately recorded;
-
v. Ensured consideration for services provided or assets acquired are measured in accordance with accounting standard AASB 2 Share-based Payment and agreed the related costs and valuation to relevant supporting documentation; and;
-
vi. Assessed the adequacy of the related disclosures within the financial report.
Carrying Amount of Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Costs
The Company has capitalised exploration and evaluation costs totalling $617,063 as at 30 June 2021 (refer to Note 10 to the financial statements). The Company has capitalised its exploration and evaluation expenditure in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure as set out in Note 1(c).
The carrying amount of Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation expenditure is a key audit matter due to:
-
The significance of the total balance (11% of total assets).
-
The necessity to assess management’s application of the requirements of the accounting standard AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources in light of any indicators of impairment that may be present; and
-
The assessment of significant judgement made by management in relation to the Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Costs.
Inter alia, our audit procedures included the following:
-
i. Assessed the Company’s right to tenure over exploration assets by corroborating the ownership of the relevant licences for mineral resources to government registries and relevant third-party documentation;
-
ii. Reviewed the Board’s assessment of the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation expenditure, ensuring the veracity of the data presented and that management has considered the effect of potential impairment indicators, commodity prices and the stage of the Company’s projects against AASB 6;
-
iii. Evaluated the Company’s documents for consistency with the intentions for the continuation of exploration and evaluation activities in certain areas of interest and corroborated with enquires of management. Inter alia, the documents we evaluated included:
Key Audit Matters
==> picture [84 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
How the Matter was Address in the Audit
-
Minutes of meetings of the Board and management
-
▪ Announcements made by the Company to the Australian Securities Exchange; and
-
▪ Cash flow forecasts; and
-
iv. Considered the requirements of the accounting standard AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources and ensured appropriate disclosures were made in the financial report.
Share based payments – share options
The Company awarded share-based payments in the form of share options to its directors during the year. These options vested immediately, and a sharebased payment expense recognised during the year amounted to $361,412 (refer to Note 22 to the financial statements).
The Company used the Black-Scholes Model in determining the fair value of the awards and related expense. Using this model, assumptions with respect to future market and economic conditions and other significant estimates have been determined. Hence, we considered the Company’s calculation of the share-based payment expense to be a key audit matter, due to the subjectivity of these determinations.
Inter alia, our procedures included the following:
-
i. Assessed the assumptions used in the Company’s calculation being the share price of the underlying equity, interest rate, volatility, dividend yield, time to maturity (expected life) and the grant date;
-
ii. Assessed the fair value of the calculation through re-performance using the Black Scholes model; and
-
iii. Assessed the accuracy of the share-based payments expense and the adequacy of disclosures made by the Company in the financial report.
Rehabilitation provision
The Company has a liability of $827,000 as at 30 June 2021 (refer to Note 13 to the financial statements) in relation to the estimated cost of rehabilitation, restoration and environmental costs to areas disturbed during operation of the yet to be rehabilitated Nelson Bay River Mine.
The provision is based on the forecasted costs of the closure and restoration of the mine. The rehabilitation provision is reviewed and re-measured in line with changes in observable assumptions, timing and the latest estimates of the costs to be incurred based on the area of disturbance.
This is a key audit matter as determination of the rehabilitation liability involves a level of complexity and significant management judgment.
Inter alia, our procedures included the following:
-
i. Obtained the rehabilitation provision calculation prepared by management and agreeing to the general ledger;
-
ii. Reviewed management’s considerations regarding the rehabilitation provision for appropriateness against the requirements of AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets ;
-
iii. Evaluated the approach adopted by management in determining the value of the rehabilitation provision, through obtaining supporting evidence and reviewing the cost elements used in the estimated rehabilitation provision compared to previous provision raised; and
-
iv. Reviewed the appropriateness of the related disclosures within the financial report.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
==> picture [84 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance opinion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
==> picture [84 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the company’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in Internal control that we identify during our audit.
The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 27 to 32 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2021.

Hence, Devil numbers around the mine site are monitored as part of the mine’s operational monitoring of the effectiveness of its devil (and quoll) impact mitigation measures, and these observations will be valuable data for the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program (STDP).
