OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW
Coppermoly Limited is an ASX-listed exploration company targeting porphyry style large scale-low grade projects prospective for copper, gold, and molybdenum. The Company’s projects are located on New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea ( PNG ).
Operational Review
During the year ended 30 June 2021 the Group’s principal activity continued to be the exploration and development of its portfolio of copper-gold projects located in Papua New Guinea. As at 30 June 2021, the consolidated entity had interests in the following exploration licences, all of which are in Papua New Guinea and 100% owned by the Group except as noted below:
| s noted below: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Date first | ||
| Project | acquired | Location |
| EL 1043 Mt Nakru | Jan 2008 | West New Britain |
| EL 2379 Simuku | Jan 2008 | West New Britain |
| EL 2514 Makmak | Sep 2017 | West New Britain |
| EL 2578 Kori River | Feb 2019 | West New Britain |
| EL 2638 Metelen River | May 2020 | West New Britain |
Two of the exploration licences currently held by the Company, EL 1043 Mt Nakru and EL 2379 Simuku, are together known as the West New Britain Projects ( WNB Projects ).
The WNB Projects were previously subject to a farm-in agreement with Barrick (PD) Australia Ltd ( Barrick ), a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation. The Company has a binding agreement to reacquire Barrick’s remaining nominal 28% interest in the WNB Projects, completion of which will be effected on the payment of a further $4.5M to Barrick within 6 months after the commencement of commercial production at the WNB Projects. Barrick do not have to contribute any further costs to exploration or development of the projects nor are they entitled to any profits from the projects. See note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related restrictions on the ability of Australian based personnel to travel to Papua New Guinea to oversee exploration programs, during the year the Group deferred all planned exploration activities including the proposed drilling program at Mt Nakru. The activities undertaken by the Group during the 2021
Page 2
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
financial year were focussed on maintaining the Group’s capability to recommence its exploration programmes when circumstances allow including:
-
i. Maintaining equipment and infrastructure in Papua New Guinea including access roads and exploration camps.
-
ii. Maintaining the Group’s exploration licences and relationships with landowners, regulators, and other stakeholders.
-
iii. Reviewing historical exploration data to refine and enhance planned exploration programs.
In addition, considering the COVID-19 related restrictions on the Group’s exploration activities in Papua New Guinea the Group commenced assessing opportunities to acquire interests in copper and gold projects in other jurisdictions to diversify its portfolio of projects.
The Group remains well funded and is operationally ready to resume exploration activities when circumstances allow.

Projects overview
EL1043 Mt Nakru
The Mt Nakru Cu-Au project (EL 1043) comprises two known deposits, Nakru 1 and Nakru 2, which are 1.5 km apart. The Mt Nakru Project hosts JORC Mineral Resources which were estimated by Mining Associates in February 2019 and are summarised in Table 1.[1] High-grade copper-zinc mineralisation has also been exposed at surface at the Nakru 2 North-West and Nakru 3 Prospects.

Table 1. Nakru Project Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate, Feb 2019 (> 0.3% Cu)
A planned exploration drilling program at Mt Nakru to define the strike length and depth extent of the currently exposed massive and disseminated sulphides has been deferred pending the lifting of COVID-19 related restrictions on travel between Australia and Papua New Guinea.
On 11 August 2021 the Group received confirmation from the Mineral Resources Authority of Papua New Guinea that EL1043 has been renewed for a two-year period expiring 7 December 2022.
Simuku (EL 2379)
The Simuku Project comprises Exploration Licence 2379 on the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea (Figure 2). Mineralisation at Simuku is copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry style associated with the Simuku-Kulu Intrusive Complex, which is Upper Oligocene in age.
The copper-molybdenum-gold mineralisation is pre-dominantly hosted within the feldspar porphyry and to a lesser extent in the andesitic volcanics, diorite and volcaniclastics. The Simuku porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold deposit is discontinuous over a large area of approximately 4.5 x 2.2 km. The deposit has a very distinct elongate pattern to the mineralisation with an envelope of copper around a molybdenum core exhibiting phyllic alteration (Figure 3).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The content of chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) is quite variable throughout the deposit, whereas pyrite associated with alteration, is ubiquitous across the deposit varying from weak to fine disseminations (<0.5% vol), fracture in-fill, replacements, and veins. The copper mineralisation is assumed to have been emplaced post formation of all the geological units and infiltrated along the faults and fractures.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Makmak (EL2514)
Makmak is a greenfields exploration tenement that lies proximal to the Nakru tenement. There are several sites within the tenement where rock chip and stream sediment samples have returned elevated copper and gold analysis. In the next quarter, a plan is proposed to conduct a follow up sampling program around the best results to delineate the extent of potential mineralisation and possibly define a source zone.
Kori River (ELA 2578)
In June 2019, Coppermoly Limited received notification from the Mineral Resources Authority of Papua New Guinea that the Company’s application for exploration licence EL2578 Kori River (EL2578) had been approved.
EL2578 is valid for an initial term of 2 years at which time the Company may apply for a further extension. The Company’s minimum expenditure under the exploration is PGK50,000 per annum for the initial two-year term.
Metelen River (ELA2638)
In May 2020, Coppermoly Limited was granted ELA2638 Metelen River which occupies an area of 246km[2] and is located adjacent to the Company’s existing Mt Nakru and Makmak exploration licences.
Financial Review
Profit or Loss
For the year ended 30 June 2021 the Group recorded an operating loss after tax of $1,045,713 (2020: Loss of $1,212,613). The decrease in the operating loss in the current year was attributable to a general decrease in corporate and administrative expenses as the level operating activities continued to be deferred during the year due to COVID-19 related restrictions on travel between Australia and PNG.
Statement of Financial Position
Total assets decreased by $2,353,431 over the year due primarily due to the outflow of cash reserves from corporate and administrative expenditure during the year and an unfavourable exchange rate on capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Other than the matters noted in this Directors’ Report that has been no significant change in the state of affairs of the Company or the Group during the reporting period.
IMPACT OF COVID-19
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 and the subsequent travel and trade restrictions imposed by the governments of numerous countries including Australia and Papua New Guinea have caused disruption to businesses and economic activity. The Board and Management of the Group have considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s operations and financial performance and have determined that the Group has not been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic at this stage.
The Group received $37,500 (2020: $62,500) in cash boost grants from the Australian government during the financial year as part of the Australian government’s, economic response to the COVID-19.
MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
Except as noted below, no matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of the year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the result of those operations or the Group’s state of affairs:
- On 11 August 2021 the Group received confirmation from the Mineral Resources Authority of Papua New Guinea that EL1043 has been renewed for a two-year period expiring 7 December 2022.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The consolidated entity is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect of its mineral exploration and mining activities.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited)
(a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The following people were the Directors, Executives and Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) of the Group during the period covered by this report:
| Name | Position | Period Position Held |
|---|---|---|
| K. Grice | Non-Executive Director | 15 July 2014 – Current |
| J. Yao | Non-Executive Director | 5 March 2015 – Current |
| W. Huang | Managing Director | 11 March 2015 – Current |
| Z. Lin | Non-Executive Director | 11 April 2016 – Current |
| X. Jian | Non-Executive Director | 28 August 2019 – Current |
Apart from the above there were no other executives of the Company and the Group during the current year.
The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The Board ensures that Director and executive rewards satisfy the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:
-
competitiveness and reasonableness.
-
acceptability to shareholders.
-
transparency; and
-
capital management.
The Group has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the organisation. Remuneration consultants have not been engaged by the company.
Relationship between remuneration and Company performance
During the past year, the Group has generated losses because it is still involved in exploration and not production.

There were no dividends paid during the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: nil).
The link between remuneration, company performance and shareholder wealth generation is tenuous, particularly in the exploration and development stage of a minerals company.
Share prices are subject to the influence of international economic factors and market sentiment toward the sector and increases or decreases may occur quite independent of executive performance or remuneration.

COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied throughout the period, unless otherwise stated.
The ultimate parent entity Coppermoly Limited, is a public, listed company, incorporated, and domiciled in Australia and having its registered address and principal place of business at 2/42 Morrow Street, Taringa, Queensland.
Coppermoly Limited is an ASX-listed exploration company targeting porphyry style large scale-low grade projects prospective for copper, gold, and molybdenum. The Company’s projects are located on New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea ( PNG ).
(a) Basis of preparation
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated entity is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing these financial statements.
Compliance with IFRS
Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes of Coppermoly Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
This financial report comprises the consolidated financial statements and notes of Coppermoly Limited and its controlled entities.
Going concern
The Group incurred a net loss of $1,045,713 for the year ended 30 June 2021. As at 30 June 2021 the Group had cash reserves of $3,392,794, a working capital surplus of $3,145,325 and net assets of $17,556,589. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had capital and other commitments, including minimum expenditure commitments relating to its mineral exploration tenements totalling $466,488 (refer Note 16).
Taking into consideration the above factors, the directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate as the Group has cash reserves that are significantly in excess of its liabilities which fall due for payment within twelve months of the date of these financial statements and the Group’s current expenditure commitments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS 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 3.
Historical cost convention
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis under the historical cost convention.
Page 21
COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(b) Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Coppermoly Limited (''company'' or ''parent entity'') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Coppermoly Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the Group.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured 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 deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of financial position respectively.
(c) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board which makes strategic decisions.
(d) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Coppermoly Limited’s functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit or loss.
(iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of Copper Quest PNG Ltd which has a functional currency of PNG Kina are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period;
-
income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income presented are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
-
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or borrowings repaid a proportionate share of such exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale, where applicable.
Page 22
COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(e) Other income
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.
Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the group will comply with all attached conditions.
(f) Income tax
Current income tax expense is based on the profit before income tax adjusted for any non-tax deductible or nonassessable items between accounting profit and taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, with certain limited exceptions, between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases at the rate of income tax applicable to the period in which the benefit will be received or the liability will become payable.
Deferred tax assets are only brought to account if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(g) Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial Assets are tested 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cashgenerating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(i) Fair value
The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. Where applicable, the fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities, excluding convertible notes that are included in borrowings, are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The value of convertible notes included in borrowings has been estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
Page 23
COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(j) Property, plant, and equipment
All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The diminishing balance method is used. Assets are depreciated from the date of acquisition or, in respect of internally constructed assets, from the time an asset is completed and held ready for use. Estimates of useful lives are made at the time of acquisition and varied as required. Expected useful lives are: Plant and Equipment between 4 years and 7 years.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(g)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.
(k) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(l) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
The fair value of the liability portion of convertible bonds, that do not include a derivative at fair value, is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders’ equity, net of income tax effects.
Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled, or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non ‑ cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.
Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
(m) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Page 24
COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(n) Employee benefits
(i) Wages and salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for employee benefits relating to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the employer resulting from employees' services provided up to the reporting date.
(iii) Share-based payments
Share-based compensation benefits can be provided to directors and employees.
The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that considers the exercise price, the term of the option, 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.
The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate.
Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital and the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital.
(o) Contributed equity
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.
(p) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Potential ordinary shares as a result of options outstanding at the end of the period are not dilutive and therefore have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
(q) Mineral 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.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(r) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of 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 taxation authority is included with other receivables or 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 taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
(s) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
The Directors do not consider that the adoption of any new standards and Interpretations in issue but not yet effective at the date of these financial statements will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group.
(t) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
The Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current year. The adoption of these new and revised accounting standards and interpretations did not have any material effect on the financial results or financial position of the Group or the Company for the reporting period.
NOTE 2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (including interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.
The primary objective of the Company’s financial risk management is to ensure that the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its desired exploration and development programs through raising debt and equity funding as appropriate.
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimising the return.
The Group does not have any material exposure to market risk.
(i) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency.
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposure in the PNG Kina.
The Group currently has no material foreign exchange risk, however such risk may arise in future when mine production begins, and product may be sold internationally. The policy of the Group for managing foreign exchange risk is to continuously monitor exchange risk. It is the Group’s policy not to use hedging. As at reporting date the Group has not started production activity and accordingly has minimal exposure to this risk.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Refer to (d) below.

COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
NOTE 2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations to the Group.
The objective of the Group is to minimise risk of loss from credit risk exposure.
Credit risk arises principally from cash and cash equivalents.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk, without considering the value of any collateral or other security, in the event other parties fail to perform their obligations under financial instruments in relation to each class of recognised financial asset at reporting date is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk other than cash at bank and short-term deposits. The Group has all cash deposits with reputable banks such as Westpac, which has a credit rating of AA- long term and A-1+ short term, with a stable outlook (affirmed by S&P Global Rating in June 2021).
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
The objective of managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they fall due, under both normal and stressed conditions.
The Group has established several policies and processes for managing liquidity risk. These include:
-
Continuously monitoring:
-
actual and daily cashflows and longer-term forecasted cashflows
-
the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to match inflows and outflows
-
Maintaining adequate reserves
-
Monitoring liquidity ratios (working capital)
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities. Due to the lack of material revenue, the Group aims to maintain adequate reserves of liquidity. The Group’s objective is to obtain maximum investment returns whilst maintaining maximum security.
The Group’s practice is to maintain funds, other than those required for working capital, on term deposits with major financial institutions.
Other cash is held in an interest bearing bank account and funds are transferred to operating cheque accounts based on forecast operating requirements.

Maturity analysis
Financial liabilities have differing maturity profiles depending on the contractual term. The table shows the period in which recognised financial liabilities balance will be paid based on the remaining period to repayment date assuming contractual repayments are maintained. Contractual cashflows are at undiscounted values (including future interest expected to be paid). Accordingly, these values may not agree to carrying amount.

NOTE 2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
(d) Interest rate risk (continued)
From time to time the Group has significant interest bearing assets, but they are because of the timing of equity raising and capital expenditure rather than a reliance on interest income. The Group’s income and operating cash flows are not expected to be materially exposed to changes in market interest rates in the future. The policy of the Group is to continuously monitor interest rate risk exposures during the period balances are held and to alter the balance of fixed and floating rate deposits as considered appropriate.
(e) Foreign exchange risk
At the end of the reporting period the Group had the following exposure to foreign currencies:

COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
NOTE 3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future when preparing the financial statements. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Information about key estimates, assumptions and judgements are described in the following notes:
Going concern assessment
As disclosed in Note 1(a), judgement has been exercised in determining that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
As at 30 June 2021 the Group had capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure of $15,798,966 (refer note 10). The ultimate recoupment of capitalised exploration and development expenditure is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale, of the respective areas of interest. The Group’s continued development of its mineral property interests is dependent upon the determination of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Group to obtain the financing necessary to maintain operations, successfully complete its exploration and development programs and the attainment of future profitable production. The recognition of this expenditure as an asset requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances. These estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the company operates. There does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Lease term
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the consolidated entity's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.
Incremental borrowing rate
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the Group estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security, and economic environment.
Deferred tax assets
No member of the Group has generated taxable income in the financial year and as such the Group continues to carry forward tax losses that give rise to deferred tax assets. Given that the Group’s projects remain in early exploration stages, it is unlikely that the Group will generate taxable income in the foreseeable future in the absence of asset sales.
Taking account of the above, the deferred tax assets have not been recognised in the financial statements as management does not believe that the members of the Group satisfy the criteria set out in AASB 112. Refer note 7.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

The Group leases land and buildings for its commercial office under an agreement of between two to six years, including two options to extend. The lease includes an annual rent review of 3% or CPI, whichever is higher.
Accounting policy
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Group elects not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas of interest.
West New Britain Project Exploration Licences
In October 2009 the Group signed a Letter Agreement with Barrick to sole fund $20 million to earn up to 72% interest in Coppermoly Limited’s tenements (Mt Nakru and Simuku) ( WNB Projects ) in Papua New Guinea. Barrick earned 72% equity in January 2012. In May 2012 Barrick advised Coppermoly of its intention to divest its interest in the WNB Projects. In July 2013 Coppermoly entered into an agreement with Barrick to re-acquire Barrick’s interest in the WNB Projects on a staged basis to reacquire 100% ownership of these licences. Barrick still holds a nominal 28% interest in the WNB Projects.
Reacquisition Deed
The key remaining term of the Reacquisition Deed with Barrick is:
- The Group may acquire the remaining nominal 28% interest in the WNB Projects, which the Company has a binding agreement to acquire, by making a payment of AUD $4,500,000, payable no later than the date that is 6 months after the commencement of commercial production at the WNB Projects. Barrick do not have to contribute any further costs to exploration or development of the projects nor are they entitled to any profits from the projects.

Accounting policy
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 consolidated entity'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.

NOTE 22 CONTINGENCIES
(i) The Macmin Royalty
By an agreement dated 12 June 2002 between Macmin NL, Macmin (PNG) Limited and New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG Canada), NGG Canada indirectly acquired all rights, title and interests held by Macmin NL in respect of EL 1043 (Mt Nakru) and EL 1077 (Simuku) through the purchase of all the issued capital of Macmin (PNG) Limited (being a wholly owned subsidiary of Macmin NL).
Under the terms of the agreement NGG Canada granted a 1% net smelter return royalty (NSRR) in favour of Macmin NL payable in respect of all mineral products produced from the tenements upon being brought into production. The royalty may remain attached to the tenements and may become payable by the Group upon the tenements being brought into production. This would be subject to legal opinions and negotiations should such circumstances come to bear.
In November 2008, Macmin Silver Ltd (formerly Macmin NL) had been placed into administration. In October 2009, Macmin Silver Ltd emerged from voluntary administration; however, the rights to the 1% net smelter royalty are now attributable to the Creditors’ Trust of Macmin Silver Ltd. On 11 September 2015 EL 2379 was granted to Copperquest PNG Pty Ltd by the PNG Mineral Resources Authority as a consolidated exploration licence combining EL 1077 Simuku and EL 1445 Talelumas.
Due to the number of variables involved it is not practicable to disclose an estimate of the financial effect related to this contingent liability.
(ii) The Reacquisition Deed with Barrick
The Group may acquire Barrick’s remaining nominal 28% interest in the West New Britain Projects by making a payment of AUD $4,500,000, payable no later than the date that is 6 months after the commencement of commercial production at the West New Britain Projects.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

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.

Carrying value of mineral exploration and evaluation assets
| Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit |
Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| Refer to note 10 in the financial report. The Group carries exploration and evaluation assets as at 30 June 2021 in relation to the application of the Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets. The recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets is a key audit matter due to: The significance of the total balance; 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, but were not limited to the following: • 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 license agreements and also considering whether the Group maintains the tenements in good standing. • Where licenses over areas of interest have expired or are due to expire in the next 12 months we further assessed the basis for continuing to carry the costs, including the status of renewals that had been lodged and obtaining evidence that the licenses remained in force until the renewal process is completed. • Making enquiries of management with respect to the status of ongoing exploration programs in the respective areas of interest and assessing the Group's cash flow budget for the level of budgeted spend on exploration projects. • 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. |
