OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Corporate

On 4 May 2018, the Company lodged a Prospectus with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission and the Australian Securities Exchange for the offer of up to 35,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 each, together with one free attaching listed option for every three shares, to raise up to $7,000,000 before costs.

On 18 July 2018, the Company issued 35,000,000 ordinary shares at $0.20 and 11,666,402 listed options exercisable at $0.20 each on or before 31 July 2021 raising $7,000,000 prior to costs pursuant to the Prospectus. On 26 July 2018, the Company was granted admission to the Australian Securities Exchange with official quotation occurring on 30 July 2018. The $7,000,000 raised (before costs) is being directed towards the Company’s exploration programs planned to evaluate the potential of the Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range.

With effect from 24 October 2018, Mr Lachlan Lynch was appointed Company Secretary of the Company following the resignation of Mr Clint McGhie.

Operations

Orpheus Project – Fraser Range

Constellation holds the Orpheus Project (the “Project”), which comprises five tenements covering approximately 552km² in a prospective portion of the Fraser Range province of south eastern Western Australia (Figure 1). The Orpheus Project includes a 70% interest in three mineral exploration licences and one mineral exploration licence application, and a 100% interest in a further mineral exploration licence. The three exploration licences form part of a joint venture between Constellation (70%) and Enterprise Metals Limited (30%, ASX: ENT).

The Fraser Range province is considered prospective for nickel, copper and gold, and has attracted significant exploration since the discovery of Independence Group NL’s (ASX: IGO) Nova-Bollinger nickel and copper deposit in 2012. The bulk of the Project is strategically located along strike and mid-way between the Nova deposit to the northeast and Independence Company’s Crux nickel prospect to the southwest. Recent work has confirmed a number of targets within the Orpheus Project tenements and Constellation plans to undertake systematic exploration to assess these targets.

Recent field work on E63/1281 and E63/1282 has confirmed three targets that require further ground work as a priority and include two nickel-copper sulphide targets and one gold target. Two priority nickel-copper sulphide targets have been identified on E28/2403 as a result of recent gravity surveys.

Figure 1: Tenement Plan – Orpheus Project

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued)

E63/1281 - Nickel

A review during the 2017 financial year of the airborne electromagnetic (“HeliTEM”) survey identified a new conductive anomaly within the data set that has the potential to be related to a bedrock mineralised source below the conductive cover. The HeliTEM anomaly shows no correlation to early time results related to surface conditions and develops at a mid-time well above the system noise level and continues with a well-defined decay to the latest times.

The target identified on E63/1281 for ground electromagnetic (“EM”) follow-up from the HeliTEM survey is associated with elevated Ni-Cu-Co rock chips at surface. Soil sampling on an E-W grid with samples 50m apart on 100m traverses was completed in December 2017 and identified a coincident Ni-Co anomaly on the eastern portion of the sampled area. A ground EM survey conducted over the HeliTEM anomaly during the half year ended 31 December 2018 returned subtle anomalism that is under review for further work.

A review of the airborne magnetics over E63/1281 has outlined a number of possible prospective mafic intrusions which are displayed as a discrete magnetic lows that cross cut the general NE magnetic orientation. The interpreted paleochannels may mask some of the potential mafic intrusions to historic airborne EM and geochemical sampling and therefore they remain an exploration target for nickel/copper mineralisation. Planned Ground EM surveys for some of these targets were delayed due to the unavailability of equipment and contractors resulting in the surveys being completed in February 2019. Data interpretation is currently being undertaken to determine subsequent work programs.

E63/1282 - Nickel

During the 2017 review, several HeliTEM targets were identified on E63/1282 for ground EM follow-up. All targets are under shallow cover and any sub crop found was weathered and leached. Ground EM surveys completed over these targets during the half year ended 31 December 2018 did not return any anomalism.

Constellation Resources Limited INTERM FINANCIAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2018 2

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)

==> picture [178 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

E63/1282 - Gold

This is a ~3km long gold in soil anomaly (up to 13ppb Au) identified from historic sampling associated with a welldefined NE-SW trending magnetic anomaly and follow-up work by Apollo Minerals Limited in August 2017 returned results up to 27ppb gold in soil samples.

Soil sampling in December 2017 was completed over this target on a 100m x 50m E-W grid and has confirmed the presence of the historic gold in soil anomaly, outlining a coherent 500m x 150m gold anomaly in the centre of the sampled area. There are also a number of other anomalous gold in soil areas identified from this survey.

During the half year ended 31 December 2018, the gold target and surrounding area were inspected and preparations have been made to conduct a heritage survey prior to drilling. A heritage survey is planned for the first half of calendar year 2019 with shallow air core drilling traverses over the 500m x 150m anomaly to follow subsequent to heritage clearance.

E28/2403 - Nickel

On E28/2403 three conceptual magnetic targets were covered by a gravity survey on a 400m x 400m grid in 2017. This was subsequently followed up by an infill gravity survey on a 200m x 200m spacing over two anomalies of interest.

Four regional moving loop electromagnetic (“MLTEM”) test lines were completed during the half year ended 31 December 2018 to cover the strongest parts of the gravity anomalies. Although these test lines did not return any significant anomalism, they did indicate that ground EM was effective in “seeing” to basement and therefore can be used for direct drill targeting for massive nickel sulphides.

Business Development

Several opportunities have been reviewed during the half year, and the Company will continue in its efforts to identify and acquire suitable new business opportunities in the resources sector, both domestically and overseas. However, no agreements have been reached or licences granted and the Directors are not able to assess the likelihood or timing of a successful acquisition or grant of any opportunities.

Results of Operations

The net loss of the Company for the half year ended 31 December 2018 was $456,232 (31 December 2017: $194,786). This loss is predominately comprised of exploration and evaluation expenditure and is attributable to the Company’s accounting policy of expensing exploration and evaluation expenditure (other than expenditures incurred in the acquisition of the rights to explore) incurred by the Company in the period subsequent to the acquisition of the rights to explore up to the successful completion of definitive feasibility studies for each separate area of interest.

Financial Position

As at 31 December 2018, the Company had a net current asset surplus of $6,077,837 (30 June 2018: net current asset deficiency of $114,895). At 31 December 2018, the Company had cash reserves of $6,102,784 (30 June 2018: $33,189), and nil borrowings (30 June 2018: $100,000). At 31 December 2018, the Company had net assets of $6,430,844 (30 June 2018: net assets of $238,968).

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

As at the date of this report, there are no matters or circumstances which have arisen since 31 December 2018 that have significantly affected or may significantly affect:

  • the operations, in financial years subsequent to 31 December 2018, of the Company;

  • the results of those operations, in financial years subsequent to 31 December 2018, of the Company; or

  • the state of affairs, in financial years subsequent to 31 December 2018, of the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

==> picture [177 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

CORPORATE INFORMATION

Constellation Resources is a Company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded. The principal activity of the Company during the half year consisted of the exploration for minerals, including the Orpheus Project.

The financial report of the Company for the half year ended 31 December 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 6 March 2019.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

This general purpose financial report for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2018 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018 and any public announcements made by Constellation Resources Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) and interpretations adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company. For the purposes of preparing the financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. The significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions adopted in the half-year financial report are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2018, except for those that have arisen as a result of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations effective from 1 January 2018, as outlined in note 1(b).

(b) Statement of Compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

In the current half year, the Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. New and revised standards and amendments thereof and interpretations effective for the current reporting period that are relevant to the Company include:

  • AASB 9 Financial Instruments , and relevant amending standards

  • AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Sharebased Payment Transactions

  • AASB Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The adoption of the aforementioned standards have resulted in an immaterial impact on interim financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2018. A discussion on the impact of the adoption of AASB 9 is included in note 1(c).

(c) Changes in Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2018, except for new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations effective 1 January 2018 as set out in note 1(b). The Company has set out below the main changes due to the adoption of AASB 9.

Constellation Resources Limited INTERM FINANCIAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2018 10

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (Continued)

==> picture [177 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Impact of Changes – AASB 9 Financial Instruments

The Company has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018 which have resulted in changes to accounting policies and the analysis for possible adjustments to amounts recognised in the Interim Financial Reports. In accordance with the transitional provisions in AASB 9, the reclassifications and adjustments are not reflected in the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018 but recognised in the opening balance sheet as at 1 July 2018. The Company has not recognised a loss allowance on trade and other receivables following assessment of the impact of the new impairment model introduced by AASB 9.

Classification and Measurement

On 1 July 2018, the Company has assessed which business models apply to the financial instruments held by the Company and have classified them into the appropriate AASB 9 categories. The main effects resulting from this reclassification are shown in the table below.

On adoption of AASB 9, the Company classified financial assets and liabilities as measured at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the business model for those assets and on the asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics. There were no changes in the measurement of the Company’s financial instruments.

There was no impact on the statement of comprehensive income or the statement of changes in equity on adoption of AASB 9 in relation to classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities.

The following table summarises the impact on the classification and measurement of the Company’s financial instruments at 1 July 2018:

Presented in statement of financial
Financial
position Asset AASB 139 AASB 9 Reported $ Restated $
Bank Loans and Amortised No change No change
Cash and cash equivalents deposits receivables Cost
Loans and Loans and Amortised No change No change
Trade and other receivables receivables receivables Cost
Loans and Amortised Amortised No change No change
Trade and otherpayables payables Cost Cost

The Company does not currently enter into any hedge accounting and therefore there is no impact to the Company’s Interim Financial Reports.

Impairment

AASB 9 introduces a new expected credit loss (“ECL”) impairment model that requires the Company to adopt an ECL position across the Company’s financial assets from 1 July 2018. The Company’s receivables balance consists of GST refunds from the Australian Tax Office and interest receivables from recognised Australian banking institutions. While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of AASB 9, an impairment loss would be considered immaterial.

The loss allowances for financial assets are based on the assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Given the Company’s receivables are from the Australian Tax Office and recognised Australian banking institutions, the Company has assessed that the risk of default is minimal and as such, no impairment loss has been recognised against these receivables as at 31 December 2018.

(d) Issued standards and interpretations not early adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Company for the reporting period ended 31 December 2018. Those which may be relevant to the Company are set out in the table below, but these are not expected to have any significant impact on the Company's financial statements:

1 January2019 1 July2019

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 Leases will replace existing accounting requirements for leases under AASB 117 Leases. Under current requirements, leases are classified based on their nature as either finance leases which are recognised on the Statement of Financial Position, or operating leases, which are not recognised on the Statement of Financial Position.

Under AASB 16 Leases, the Company’s accounting for operating leases as a lessee will result in the recognition of a right-of-use (ROU) asset and an associated lease liability on the Statement of Financial Position. The lease liability represents the present value of future lease payments, with the exception of short-term and low value leases. An interest expense will be recognised on the lease liabilities and a depreciation charge will be recognised for the ROU assets. There will also be additional disclosure requirements under the new standard.

Based on the Company’s assessment to date, the adoption of AASB 16 is expected to have an immaterial impact on the financial statements of the Company due to the minimal number, if any, of non-cancellable leases currently entered into by the Company which would not fall under a short-term or low value exception.

Transition

The Company will initially apply AASB 16 on 1 July 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the cumulative effect of adopting AASB 16 will be recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 July 2019, with no restatement of comparative information.

When applying the modified retrospective approach to leases previously classified as operating leases under AASB 117, the Company can elect, on a lease-by-lease basis, whether to apply a number of practical expedients on transition. The Company is assessing the potential impact of using these practical expedients.

Based on the current assessment and conditions of the Company, it is expected that the adoption of AASB 16 will have minimal impact if any on the financial statements of the Company. The actual impact of applying AASB 16 on the financial statements in the period of initial application will depend however on future economic conditions, including the Company’s borrowing rate, the composition of the Company’s lease portfolio, the extent to which the Company elects to use practical expedients and recognition exemptions, and the new accounting policies, which are subject to change until the Company presents its first financial statements that include the date of initial application.

Constellation Resources Limited

Independent auditor’s review report to members

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
