Aus Tin Mining Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

==> picture [47 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'Group') consisting of Aus Tin Mining Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2021.

Directors

The following persons were directors of Aus Tin Mining Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Brian Moller Nicholas Mather Richard Willson Brad Gordon (appointed 17 May 2021)

Principal activities

During the year the principal activities of the Group involved exploration for tin, nickel and other commodities. There were no significant changes in the principal activities of the Group.

Competent Persons Statement

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Nicholas Mather B.Sc (Hons) Geol., who is a Member of The Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Mather is employed by Samuel Capital Pty Ltd, which provides certain consultancy services including the provision of Mr Mather as a Director of Aus Tin Mining. Mr Mather has more than five years experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit being reported and to the activity, which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Minerals Resources and Ore Reserves’ (the JORC Code). This public report is issued with the prior written consent of the Competent Person(s) as to the form and context in which it appears.

The information in this report which relates to Mineral Resources is based on information extracted from the report entitled “Maiden JORC Resource Estimated for the Taronga Tin Project” created on 26[th] August 2013 and is available to view on www.austinmining.com.au Aus Tin Mining confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

The information in this report which relates to Ore Reserves is based on information extracted from the report entitled “Pre-Feasibility Advances the Taronga Tin Project” created on 7[th] April 2014 and is available to view on www.austinmining.com.au. Aus Tin Mining confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

Dividends

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.

Review of operations

The loss for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $1,320,215 (30 June 2020: $2,245,240).

Safety / Environment / Community

During the reporting period the Company reported no safety or environmental incidents, or community complaints at any of its sites.

Taronga Tin Project (NSW)

The Company owns 100 percent of Taronga Mines Pty Limited which holds several exploration licenses and one mining licence in northern NSW. The tenements are prospective for tin, copper, silver and a number of critical minerals, with the most advanced project being the Taronga Tin Project. Taronga is a world class JORC (2012) resource of 57,000 tonnes of contained tin, 26,400 tonnes of contained copper and 4.4 million ounces of silver ( refer Table 1 ) located within a proven historic tin field approximately four hours south-west of Brisbane. The Company completed a Prefeasibility Study in 2014[1] ( PFS ) that demonstrated that Taronga was technically feasible and economically viable, and identified several areas of potential upside, including an increased resource grade, higher tin recoveries and the recovery of by-product credits, all of which have the capacity to significantly enhance the economics of the project. Over the reporting period the price of tin effectively doubled, moving from US$16,920 per tonne to US$33,460 per tonne. At current prices the project shows outstanding profitability based on the 2014 PFS. Nevertheless, improvements to the PFS operations plan can be made which will de-risk the project and lower initial capital costs for the project. These improvements will be finalised over the coming period.

The Company has now abandoned plans for trial mining of ore from the Northern Zone. Instead, it has applied to the NSW authorities to take a bulk sample from the adit in the Northern Zone. This adit was developed by following a horizontal diamond drill hole which was drilled previously. The average grade of this bulk sample will be compared to the diamond drill hole assays to give some guidance as to whether there is a grade uplift of the bulk sample compared to the diamond hole. In addition, the representative sample will be used for further metallurgical testwork. An important aspect of this testwork will be to investigate various techniques to upgrade the ore prior to processing. Techniques which have been investigated previously, and which were successful to various degrees, were Heavy Media Separation, Ore Sorting Systems, and Upgrading through Crushing and Screening. The beneficiation of the ore prior to processing is fundamental to the success of the project and the investigations will determine which technique, or which combination of techniques, should be utilised.

COVID-19 travel restrictions affected site access at various times throughout the reporting period. Nevertheless, field reconnaissance was conducted at the McDonalds prospect and in the vicinity of the Black Prince mine area. Field reconnaissance undertaken during the period aimed to further examine historical workings at McDonalds, as well as establish site access to the Black Prince/Silver Prince area of workings.

McDonalds Reconnaissance

Field observations aimed to expand geological understanding of the McDonalds workings. The area consists of an extensive, broad zone of pits, trenches and shafts developed on quartz-chlorite and quartz veins hosting coarse cassiterite and sphalerite. The veins are numerous and up to 10 cm thick, comprising comb structured quartz with fine chlorite margins, internal segregations, and lenticles. The area is largely hosted by a mafic in the north, but fine grained altered biotite microgranite is the host in the eastern end of the workings, where quartz-tourmaline and tourmaline veins are abundant. The southernmost workings are hosted by metasediments. Numerous, narrow quartz-cassiterite and quartz-sphalerite veins up to 1 cm thick occur as a sheeted vein system within hornfelsed metasediments adjacent to the chloritised mafic igneous rock. A gully draining the broader area of pits, trenches and shafts has been work over a length of approximately 15m. The gully is positioned near the contact of a mafic unit and a finer microgranite which hosts the quartz vein.

A shaft is developed on an a larger 0.5m quartz chlorite vein situated about this contact zone. Sample McDRC010 is derived from loose weathered mineralized granite material from this gully and assayed 3.84% Copper and 4.25% Tin. This sample is abundant in Cu carbonates and not necessarily attributed to quartz veining. Abundant limonitic boxwork further indicates the presence of disseminated sulphides in wall rock. Its speculated that the contact zone may provide suitable structural controls for hydrothermal fluids. Further, it is speculated that interaction on hydrothermal fluids with granite contact present an environment for greisen formation.

Black Prince/ Silver Prince

The area referred to as the Black Prince/Silver Prince area is situated about 3km NNE of Taronga and south of the McDonalds Prospect and is comprised of over a dozen small deposits comprised of numerous test pits and trenches and includes an adit (Silver Prince), shafts Black Prince and a number developed on various ENE trending veins and less obvious “laminated masses” in an area about 2.5km in length and 600m in width. Exploration history of this area is limited and unclear with records of workings recorded as late as 1896 (no recorded production numbers). Electrolytic Zinc identified a sheeted vein system in 1980s in an area to the south west referred to as Big Plant Creek. EZ completed a program of geological mapping (vein density and selvedge intensity mapping), soil sampling (tin and base metals, no silver unfortunately), and drilling. Drilling failed to identify EZs target mineralising system, (low grade high tonnage tin deposit) and no silver analysis was undertaken during drilling.

A mineralised sample BPR C002 from the Black Prince dump returned an assay of 5.82% Zinc and 861g/t (27oz/t) Silver highlighting the fact that the previous miners were mining the area for silver.

Granville (TAS)

The Granville Project remains under care and maintenance. As outlined above, the tin price recently recorded its highest price in USD terms for more than 10 years, and the expectation is that this strengthening price will encourage more interest in the Project.

The Company now holds a substantial tenement base in the area to the east of Granville Harbour. Aus Tin will continue to maintain these properties in good standing as it considers expressions of interest in its Tasmanian tin properties.

Mt Cobalt (QLD)

The Company owns 100 percent of EPM 19366 located west of Gympie in the Wide Bay Burnett region of Queensland, and includes the key prospects of Pembroke and Mt Cobalt. Regional geology is influenced by the Black Snake porphyry, and a four (4) kilometre arc along its periphery is prospective for several metals including nickel, cobalt, copper and gold.

  • Cobalt price recovering: ● Most Recent High US$95,000 per tonne on 21 March 2018 ● Most Recent Low US$26,500 per tonne on 25 July 2019 ● Current US$52,465 per tonne on 23 July 2021 Nickel price recovering: ● Most Recent High US$28,856 per tonne on 3 March 2011 ● Most Recent Low US$7,715 per tonne on 12 February 2016 ● Current US$19,482 per tonne on 26 July 2021

After consideration of the improvement in price of both cobalt and nickel, field trips have been undertaken during the period to the Mt Cobalt tenement with the Company’s consultant geologist, to further investigate the potential to expand the resource at Mt Cobalt. Field activities specifically included inspecting and examining an old existing adit from historical mining on site. The Company is aiming to determine whether a new drill program is warranted at the Mt Cobalt project in 2022.

New Projects

During the reporting period the Company undertook a global review of prospective projects and following extensive evaluation elected to pursue three projects considered complementary to its existing portfolio, including:

  • Lachlan Fold Belt – As part of a balancing strategy, and after acquiring agreements to acquire 2 coal projects, Ashford in NSW and Mackenzie in the Bowen Basin in Queensland, the Company allowed its exclusive option over three exploration licences located within the Lachlan Fold Belt (NSW) to lapse.

  • Ashford Coking Coal Project – The proposed acquisition of the Ashford Coking Coal Project located in northern NSW approximately 50km east of the Taronga Tin Project. In July 2020 the Company announced it had signed a binding term sheet with Laneway Resources Ltd ( Laneway ) to acquire 100 percent of the Ashford Coking Coal Project ( Ashford Project ) located in northern NSW. The Ashford Project comprises two granted Exploration Licenses (EL 6234, EL 6428) located approximately 10km north of the Ashford township in northern NSW (Figure 1). Coal mining at Ashford dates back to 1884 and most recently the colliery operated until 1988 supplying a now closed local power station. The Ashford Project is approximately 50km west of the Company’s Taronga Tin Project and approximately 100km west of the Inland Rail’s proposed route.

The Ashford Project has a resource of 14.8Mt within EL6234 comprising 6.5Mt of Indicated Resources and 8.3Mt of Inferred Resources and coal quality studies found the resources could qualify as semi-hard coking coal[2] . Work undertaken by Laneway has indicated of the total resource, 9.4Mt is likely to be accessible by conventional open cut methods to a 15:1 vertical waste to in-situ coal tonnes stripping ratio cut off. A further 5.4Mt is expected to be mined via high wall mining methods.

Aus Tin Mining Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

==> picture [47 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

In summary the proposed transaction will comprise two stages being:

  • 1 Stage 1 being the purchase by Aus Tin Mining of a 40 percent interest in either the Ashford Project itself or the wholly-owned subsidiary of Laneway which owns the Ashford Project, in consideration for the issue of 20 percent of the enlarged share capital of Aus Tin Mining to Laneway. The final structure of the acquisition will depend on what is most efficient for Laneway from a transfer duty, tax and regulatory perspective; and

  • 2 Stage 2 being an option (the Stage 2 Option ) for ANW to purchase the remaining 60 percent interest in the Ashford Project within three years for A$7 million payable as to A$2 million in cash and $5 million in shares or cash at the election of Aus Tin Mining, plus an ongoing royalty payable to Laneway of $0.50 per tonne of coal sold from the Ashford Project. The Stage 2 Option must be exercised before the third anniversary of the date on which the Stage 1 acquisition is completed.

The Company and the vendor of the Ashford Coking Coal Project (Laneway Resources Ltd, ASX:LNY (Laneway)) have now executed a Share Acquisition Agreement (SAA) to give effect to stage 1 of the acquisition of the Ashford Project by the Company (Stage 1). At the completion of Stage 1, Aus Tin will hold a 40% shareholding interest (the Renison Shares) in Renison Coal Pty Ltd (the owner of the Ashford Project) (Renison Coal), and Laneway will hold a 20% shareholding interest in Aus Tin (Laneway Shares). The parties have also entered into a Shareholders Agreement with respect to their interests in Renison Coal. Full details were outlined in the Company’s ASX release of 19 April 2021.

Mackenzie Coal Project

On 23 October 2020 the Company announced the signing of a binding but conditional Term Sheet with Resources and Energy Investments Pty Ltd (REI) to acquire its interests in the Mackenzie Coal Project (Mackenzie) located in Queensland’s premier coal province the Bowen Basin (the Proposed Transaction). Mackenzie includes a previously announced Indicated and Inferred JORC Resource of 138.1Mt[3] of potential low volatile Pulverised Coal Injection (PCI) quality coal, and is being acquired by REI from the liquidators of previous owner MRV Bowen Basin Coal Pty Ltd.

The Company and REI later mutually agreed to amend the Binding Term Sheet announced on 23 October 2020, so as to extend the conditions date from 26 February 2020 for another 12 months. On 19 April 2021, it was announced that the parties had extended the conditions date through to 31 July 2022. Where the relevant conditions have not been satisfied by 31 July 2022, either party may, but is not obliged to, terminate the Binding Term Sheet. In those circumstances the $50,000 deposit paid by ANW to REI in October last year will be refunded to the Company.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

During the year the Company signed a binding term sheet with Laneway to acquire 100 percent of the Ashford Coking Coal Project (the Project) in two stages. All the conditions for completion of Stage 1 of the acquisition of the Project have been satisfied and on 19 April 2021 the Company acquired a 40% shareholding in Renison Coal Pty Ltd (Renison) (the owner of the Project) from Laneway Resources Ltd (ASX:LNY) (Laneway). Laneway received 2,543,357,373 ordinary shares in the Company (20% shareholding interest at completion) as consideration for the sale of shares in Renison. Refer to note 11 for further information.

Issued capital increased by $9,397,223 (from $23,884,271 to $33,281,494) as a result of the acquisition of Renison Coal Pty Ltd (see note 11), an entitlement issue, conversion of convertible notes, shares issued pursuant to a funding agreement, shares issued in partial satisfaction of debts owed to related parties, and a share placement with professional and sophisticated investors. Details of the changes in issued capital are disclosed in note 18 to the financial statements.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

Not all information on likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of operations has been included in this report because the directors believe it may result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

Environmental regulation

Other than as part of the standard conditions attaching to its Mining Leases and Exploration Permits, the Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

Climate change risk

The Group does not consider that it currently has a material exposure to the risks associated with Climate Change. Accordingly, the Group does not consider it necessary to reflect any impact associated with Climate Change risks (eg. impairments, provisions) in its financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021. The Group considers the following matters to be relevant to this conclusion:

  • (i) the Group’s activities are predominantly focussed on the discovery and definition phase of natural resource projects. The Group is not yet in a mine planning, development, construction or operational phase. Accordingly, having a greenfields exploration focus means that the Group currently has no significant man-made infrastructure that would be subject to the potential physical risks associated with Climate Change. Furthermore, the Group has a minimal carbon footprint and negligible emissions;

  • (ii) the Group’s current environmental analysis for the Taronga Tin Project has taken into account independent long-term rainfall and other climate related forecasts for the northern NSW area to ensure the continued viability of the economic and operational assumptions made in relation to the project to date;

  • (iii) the Group is not currently aware of any pending or proposed Climate Change related regulatory or legislative changes that would impact it or its assets at this time, or in the foreseeable future;

  • (iv) the Group considers that it currently has minimal exposure to the technological market and reputational risks associated with Climate Change;

  • (v) whilst the Group has a 40% interest in the Ashford Coal Project, and a conditional option to acquire the Mackenzie Coal Project, both projects are focussed on metallurgical (not thermal) coal. Metallurgical coal currently remains the only viable energy alternative to be used by the international steel making industry.

Remuneration report (audited)

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

  • Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

  • Details of remuneration

  • Service agreements

  • Share-based compensation

  • Additional information

  • Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Group must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives.

The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the Executive team. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality Board and Executive team. Such officers are given the opportunity to receive their base remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payments chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Group. Further details on the remuneration of Directors and Executives are set out in this Remuneration Report.

The Group aims to reward the Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group. The Board’s policy is to align Director and Executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering long-term incentives.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-executive directors remuneration

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. The Company’s specific policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of Board members of the Company is as follows.

The Constitution of the Company provides that the Non-executive Directors are entitled to remuneration as determined by the Company in general meeting to be apportioned among them in such manner as the Directors agree and, in default of agreement, equally. The aggregate remuneration currently determined by the Company is $350,000 per annum. Additionally, Non-executive Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for properly incurred expenses.

If a Non-executive Director performs extra services, which in the opinion of the Directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of the Director, the Company may remunerate that Director by payment of a fixed sum determined by the Directors in addition to or instead of the remuneration referred to above. However, no payment can be made if the effect would be to exceed the maximum aggregate amount payable to Non-executive Directors. A Non-executive Director is entitled to be paid travelling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending Director's or general meetings of the Company or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company.

Directors may have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the Company's option plan, subject to corporate governance considerations and the approval of shareholders.

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 30 June 2021 is detailed in this Remuneration Report.

Executive remuneration

The Company aims to reward the Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:

  • align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders;

  • link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and

  • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

The remuneration of the Executives may from time to time be fixed by the Board. The remuneration will comprise a fixed remuneration component and also may include offering specific short and long-term incentives, in the form of:

  • performance based salary increases and/or bonuses; and/or

  • the issue of options.

The remuneration of the Executives employed by the Company for the year ended 30 June 2021 is detailed in this Remuneration Report.

Aus Tin Mining Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration

During the financial year, the Company has generated losses as its principal activity was mineral exploration.

At 30 June 2021 the market price of the company’s ordinary shares was $0.001 per share (30 June 2020: $0.001 per share). No dividends were paid during the year ended 30 June 2021.

As the Company is still in the exploration and development stage, the link between remuneration, Company performance and shareholder wealth is tenuous. Share prices are subject to the influence of metals prices and market sentiment toward the sector, and as such increases or decreases may occur quite independent of Executive performance or remuneration.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Going concern

For the year ended 30 June 2021, the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $1,320,215 after income tax (2020: $2,245,240 net loss) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $2,081,701 (2020: $827,108 net cash outflows). At 30 June 2021, the consolidated entity had net current liabilities of $196,135 (2020: $5,283,730 net current liabilities).

The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon raising additional capital or securing other forms of financing, as and when necessary to meet the levels of expenditure required for the consolidated entity to continue to progress the mineral properties in which it has an interest and to meet the consolidated entity's working capital requirements.

These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt over the consolidated entity's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Directors have concluded that the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements is appropriate and any uncertainty regarding going concern is mitigated by the following:

  • As at the date of this report, the consolidated entity had cash on hand of $1,749,029, which is sufficient to meet the ongoing corporate costs and expected project commitments for a twelve (12) month period. Furthermore, the Company’s current borrowings do not need to be repaid within the next 12 months, and do not need to be repaid solely in cash.

  • Proven ability of the consolidated entity to raise the necessary funding or settle debts via the issuance of shares, as evidenced by the raising of $4,351,410 in cash from shares and $335,000 from convertible notes issued during the year ended 30 June 2021.

Based on the above, the Directors are of the opinion that at the date of signature of the financial report there are reasonable and supportable grounds to believe that the consolidated entity will be able to meet its liabilities from its assets in the ordinary course of business, for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this financial report and has accordingly prepared the financial report on a going concern basis.

Should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might be required should the consolidated entity not be able to continue as a going concern.

Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of selected financial liabilities measured at fair value.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 27.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Aus Tin Mining Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Aus Tin Mining Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'.

23

Aus Tin Mining Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the noncontrolling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

Revenue recognition

The Group generates revenue from the sale of processed tin concentrate to an external customer. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods and services is transferred to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods and services.

Sale of Tin

The Group’s performance obligation on sale of processed tin concentrates is fulfilled when the concentrate is delivered to the buyer ex works Granville mine.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue and other income

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Government subsidies are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Joint arrangements

Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. The Group has investments in joint ventures.

Joint ventures

Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated balance sheet.

24

Aus Tin Mining Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [47 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Group's share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

Finance costs

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The Group does not expect that there will be a material impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Key judgements – share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Key judgements – exploration & evaluation assets

The Group performs regular reviews on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. These reviews are based on detailed surveys and analysis of drilling results performed to reporting date.

25

Aus Tin Mining Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [47 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

The Directors have assessed that for the exploration and evaluation assets recognised at 30 June 2021, the facts and circumstances do not suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount. In considering this the Directors have had regard to the facts and circumstances that indicate a need for impairment as noted in Accounting Standard AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources .

Key estimates – impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Where applicable, value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

Key judgements – convertible notes

The Group's convertible notes have been treated as a financial liability, in accordance with the principles set out in AASB 132. The key criterion for liability classification is whether there is an unconditional right to avoid delivery of cash for another financial asset to settle the contractual obligation. The terms and conditions applicable to the convertible notes require the Group to settle the obligation in either cash, or in the Company's own shares.

The notes are convertible into ordinary shares of the parent entity, at the option of the holder, or repayable by the Company in cash, or as a combination of cash and shares pursuant to the governing legal documents. The conversion rate is based on a variable formula subject to adjustments for share price movement. Management determined that these terms give rise to a derivative financial liability. The initial consideration received for the note was deemed to be fair value of the liability at the issue date. The liability will subsequently be recognised on a fair value basis at each reporting period.

Note 3. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the parent entity’s Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The consolidated entity is managed primarily on a geographic basis that is the location of the respective areas of interest (tenements) in Australia. Operating segments are determined on the basis of financial information reported to the Board which is at the consolidated entity level.

The Group does not have any products/services it derives revenue from.

Management currently identifies the Group as having only one operating segment, being exploration for Nickel, Gold, Copper and Tin in Australia. All significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from the segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole.

Accounting policy for income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

28

Aus Tin Mining Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021

==> picture [47 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

Note 6. Income tax (continued)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

  • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or

  • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Aus Tin Mining Ltd and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. Aus Tin Mining Ltd is responsible for recognising the current tax assets and liabilities and deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses for the tax consolidation group. The tax consolidated group have entered a tax funding agreement whereby each company in the tax consolidation group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidation group.

The Group undertook a strategic review of Granville in September 2019 in order to determine the most economically efficient means of extracting value from the project. Post the strategic review, it was decided to place Granville on care and maintenance until a suitable mine fleet is available and additional equipment is installed at the plant. The Group has assessed and considered it prudent to maintain the provision for impairment against the Ore stockpiles and Tin in tailings recognised in the prior periods.

Accounting policy for inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of mining stocks includes direct materials, direct labour, transportation costs and variable and fixed overhead costs relating to mining activities.

Renison Coal Pty Ltd Australia 40% -

During the year the Company signed legal agreements with Laneway Resources Limited (Laneway) to acquire 100 percent of the Ashford Coking Coal Project (the Project) in two stages. On 19 April 2021 the Company acquired a 40% shareholding in Renison Coal Pty Ltd (the owner of the Ashford Project) (Renison) from Laneway. Laneway received 2,543,357,373 ordinary shares in the Company (20% shareholding interest at completion) as consideration for the sale of shares in Renison, plus the reimbursement in cash of $150,716 in costs. Laneway has the right to call for the issue to it of up to 500 million additional Company shares in certain circumstances, provided that Laneway does not hold more than 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as a result.

On completion of Stage 1, the Company was entitled to appoint two of the five Directors of the Renison Board. For every additional 20% of Renison that it holds, the Company is entitled to appoint a further Director.

From the completion of Stage 1, Laneway has been entitled to appoint two Directors to the Company Board. For every additional 20% of the Company that it holds after that, Laneway is entitled to appoint a further Director.

Stage 2 being an option (the Stage 2 Option) for the Company to purchase the remaining 60 percent interest in Renison within three years for $7 million payable as to $2 million in cash and $5 million in shares or cash at the election of the Company, plus an ongoing royalty payable to Laneway of $0.50 per tonne of coal sold from the Ashford Project. The Stage 2 Option must be exercised before 19 April 2024. Stage 2 is subject to a number of conditions including the granting of any shareholder or third-party approval required, and the expiry, discharge or termination of the Lind Facility. Where these conditions have not been satisfied by 19 April 2024, then Laneway may require the Company to sell the Stage 1 interest back to Laneway.

Accounting policy for property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 30% Motor vehicles 20% Office equipment 20% - 33.3%

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Note 12. Property, plant and equipment (continued)

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

Accounting policy for right-of-use assets

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Assets arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis.

Accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

A regular review has been undertaken on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Accounting policy for borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.

On the issue of the convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a non-current liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders equity as a convertible note reserve, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in the subsequent years. The corresponding interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.

Note 16. Lease liabilities (continued)

The consolidated entity leases motor vehicles under finance leases. The leases are secured over the individual motor vehicles that the lease relates to.

Accounting policy for lease liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Note 17. Provisions

Consolidated Consolidated
2021 2020
$ $
Non-current liabilities
Provision for rehabilitation 628,335 628,335

The Group has conducted an extensive review of the environmental status of the Mining Leases associated with the Granville Mine site with a view to making an assessment of the appropriate provision it should make for liabilities in respect of rehabilitation and restoration. In the course of this exercise, a detailed assessment was conducted on potential costs for future rehabilitation and accordingly an additional restoration liability of $478,335 was recognised in 2019 in line with the mine life of the Granville project. Given that the Granville project was put under care and maintenance there was no change to the rehabilitation liability in 2021 and 2020.

Accounting policy for provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Accounting policy for employee benefits

Defined contribution superannuation expense

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Management also aims to maintain a capital structure to ensure the lowest costs of capital available to the Group.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

The Group is not exposed to externally imposed capital requirements.

The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current Company's share price at the time of the investment. The Group is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2020 Annual Report.

Accounting policy for issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Note 19. Dividends and franking credits

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year. There are no franking credits available to shareholders of the company (2020: none).

Note 20. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives

In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous years unless otherwise stated in this note.

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, receivables, security deposits, convertible notes and payables.

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group’s finance function.

Note 20. Financial instruments (continued)

The overall objective of the Board is to set polices that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

The Group is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.

Price risk

The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises principally from cash and cash equivalents. The objective of interest rate risk management is to manage and control interest rate risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimising the return. The Group does not have any significant exposure to interest rate risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group. The Group’s objective is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk exposure.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at reporting 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.

Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board. It arises from exposure to receivables as well as through deposits with financial institutions.

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the Group and at reporting date.

The Group’s cash at bank is wholly held with Macquarie Bank Limited and Westpac Banking Corporation.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet financial obligations as they fall due. The objective of managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Group will always have sufficient liquidity to meets its liabilities when they fall due, under both normal and stressed conditions.

Liquidity risk is reviewed regularly by the Board.

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and liquidity ratios such as working capital. The Group did not have any financing facilities available at the reporting date.

Remaining contractual maturities

The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Fair value of financial instruments

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

Note 21. Fair value measurement

Fair value hierarchy

The following tables detail the Group's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year.

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3

The fair value of convertible notes are determined using option pricing models, which use various inputs including current market and contractual prices for underlying instruments, time to expiry, yield curves and volatility of underlying instruments.

The level 3 assets and liabilities unobservable inputs and sensitivity are as follows:

Range
Description Unobservable inputs* (weighted average) Sensitivity
Convertible notes Share price volatility 90% Lower volatility (-10 bps) would increase FV by $4,768;
higher volatility (+10 bps) would decrease FV by $5,679.
Risk free rate 0.012% Lower discount rate (-25 bps) would increase FV by $206;
higher discount rate (+25 bps) would decrease FV by $224.
  • There were no significant inter-relationships between unobservable inputs that materially affect fair values.

Accounting policy for fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

The Group has certain obligations to expend minimum amounts on exploration in tenement areas. These obligations may be varied from time to time and are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of operations of the Group.

To keep tenements in good standing, work programs should meet certain minimum expenditure requirements. If the minimum expenditure requirements are not met, the Group has the option to negotiate new terms or relinquish the tenements. The Group also has the ability to meet expenditure requirements by joint venture or farm-in agreements.

The commitments disclosed above include minimum spend commitments relating to Renison Coal Pty Ltd of $980,000 ($355,000 within 1 year and $625,000 within 1-5 years).

Note 31. Earnings per share (continued)

Accounting policy for earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Aus Tin Mining Limited, 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 issued during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take 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.

Note 32. Share-based payments

(a) Expense

There was no share based payment expenses recognised during financial year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: $nil)

(b) Types of share-based payment plans

Employee share option plan (ESOP)

Share options are granted to employees. The employee share option plan is designed to align participants’ interests with those of shareholders by increasing the value of the Company’s shares.

When a participant ceases employment after the vesting of their share options, the share options are forfeited after 90 days unless cessation of employment is due to termination for cause, whereupon they are forfeited immediately. The Company prohibits KMP from entering into arrangements to protect the value of unvested ESOP awards.

The contractual life of each option granted is generally three (3) years. There are no cash settlement alternatives.

Each option can be exercised from vesting date to expiry date for one share with the exercise price payable in cash.

(c) Summaries of options granted

The following table illustrates the number (no.) and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) of, and movements in, share based payment share options granted during the year:

The options granted during the 30 June 2020 financial year represented Loyalty options on the basis of one (1) Option for every ten (10) Shares to those investors who either: a) participated in the Company’s share purchase plan which closed on 24 May 2019 or b) took part in the private placement announced on 12 April 2019. Accordingly, no share-based payment expense was recognised on the grant of these options.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at the end of the financial year was 1.95 years (2020: 1.03 years).

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

  • during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.

  • from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets

Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
The Group carries exploration and
evaluation assets in accordance with the
Group’s accounting policy for exploration
and evaluation assets as set out in Note
13.
The recoverability of exploration and
evaluation asset is a key audit matter due
to the significance of the total balance as
a proportion of total assets and the level
of procedures undertaken to evaluate
management’s application of the
requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for
and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (‘AASB
6’) in light of any indicators of impairment
that may be present.
Our procedures included:

Obtaining evidence that the Group has valid rights to
explore in the areas represented by the capitalised
exploration and evaluation expenditure by obtaining
supporting documentation such as licence agreements
and also considering whether the Group maintains the
tenements in good standing.

Making enquiries of management with respect to the
status of ongoing exploration programs in the
respective areas of interest.

Enquiring of management, reviewing ASX
announcements and reviewing directors' minutes to
ensure that the Group had not decided to discontinue
activities in any applicable areas of interest and to
assess whether there are any other facts or
circumstances that existed to indicate impairment
testing was required.

Accounting for investment in Joint Venture

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

During the year, the Group entered into an agreement with Laneway Resources Limited (Laneway) for a 2-staged investment in Ashford Coking Coal Project (the project).

Completion of stage 1 of project has resulted in the Group acquiring a 40% interest in the share capital in Renison Coal Pty Ltd.

The accounting for the project is a key audit matter due to the complexity of the transaction and the significant judgment involved in assessing:

  • whether the group jointly controlled Renison Coal Pty Ltd;

  • The classification of the investment as a joint venture is a key audit matter due to the level of judgement management were required to make in assessing the classification of the investment and the significance of the carrying amounts.

Our procedures included:

  • Evaluating management’s assessment of whether control, joint control or significant influence existed;

  • Evaluating management’s assessment of whether the joint arrangement is a joint operation or joint venture

  • Reviewing the accounting treatment for investment in Renison Coal Pty Ltd;

  • Agreeing the Group’s treatment of the initial investment and subsequent accounting for the investment

  • Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in the financial report relating to the investment in Renison Coal Pty Ltd.

  • The assessment of the transaction required significant auditor effort.

Our audit procedures included amongst others:

  • Evaluating management’s assessment of whether control, joint control or significant influence existed;

  • Reviewing the accounting treatment for investment in Renison Coal Pty Ltd;

  • Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in the financial report relating to the investment.
