REVIEW OF EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Mt Nakru (EL 1043)
During the reporting period, the Company completed an exploration drilling program comprising a combination of infill resource drilling and multiple step out exploration holes at the Mt Nakru Cu-Au project.
The program comprised in-fill and 50m step out extension drilling at Nakru 1 designed to upgrade the resource category. Drilling was undertaken using a combination of Reverse Circulation (“RC”) and Diamond Drilling (“DD”), with 16 holes drilled for a total of 1,997.5 metres (refer Figure 1).
==> picture [478 x 338] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1 – Location of completed drill holes for Nakru 1 exploration drilling program
10 holes were undertaken for infill resource definition to upgrade the existing resource and 4 holes were step out exploratory holes to designed to test the extension of the existing resource area. In addition, 2 RC holes were drilled as twins of previous diamond holes to test the validity of the RC technique for resource definition work.
Page 3 of 20
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Preliminary assessment of assay data from the 2 twinned holes by independent consultants, Mining Associates, concluded that it is valid to use RC data combined with DD data for JORC resource definition at the Mt Nakru deposit.
On 28 February 2019, the Company announced a maiden Indicated Resource for the Mt Nakru project. The maiden Indicated Resource totals 7.03 Mt grading 1.00% Cu, 0.28 g/t Au and 1.81 g/t Ag for 70kt contained Cu, 64 koz Au and 409 Koz Ag1.
The total Inferred plus Indicated Resource has been expanded to 41.39 Mt grading 0.75% Cu, 0.23 g/t Au and 1.59 g/t Ag for 309 kt Cu, 300 koz Au and 2,116 Koz Ag at a cut-off grade of 0.3% Cu.
The previous 2017 resource totalled 29.1 Mt with a grade of 0.92% Cu, 0.22 g/t Au and 2.25 g/t Ag for 267 Kt contained Cu, 208 Koz Au and 2,100 Koz Ag.
The updated Mineral Resource was estimated by independent mining consultancy Mining Associates Pty Ltd.
A break-down of the mineral resources by category is given in Table 1.
| Resource | Mineralised | Grade | **Metal ** | ||||

Table 1. Nakru Project Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate, Feb 2019 (> 0.3% cu)
Simuku (EL 2379)
The Simuku project area hosts both a large tonnage low grade porphyry style copper mineralisation zone and near surface higher grade secondary copper mineralisation. Both mineralisation zones have untested extensions. Also, several historical geochemical and geophysical anomalies within the licence area have not yet been tested.
Due to the focus on the Mt Nakru drilling program in the reporting period, no significant was undertaken on the Simuku project. The Company is currently developing a proposal for a follow up ground IP geophysics survey on the highest ranked VTEM targets to delineate greater detail to allow for identification of drill targets.
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.
Due to the focus on the Mt Nakru drilling program in the December quarter, no significant work was undertaken on the Makmak project during the quarter.
Kori River (ELA 2578)
On 23 April 2018 Coppermoly announced that it had an application for a new Exploration Licence accepted by the PNG Mineral Resources Authority. The new application, ELA 2578 Kori River, covers ground that encloses the existing EL 2379 tenement and includes areas near some of the boundaries of EL 2379 that show encouraging signs for potential conductive and resistive anomalous zones.
A Warden’s Hearing was conducted in early July. The next steps in the application process include technical assessment of the application by the MRA and Mining Advisory Council consideration before approval by the Mining Minister.
1 Refer ASX Announcement dated 28 February 2019. The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that announcement and all the material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource Estimate in the ASX Announcement released on 28 February 2019 continue to apply and have not materially changed.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
REVIEW OF RESULTS
The loss after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2018 was $378,760(2017: $236,969 loss). The significant items affecting the loss after tax were:
-
Employee benefits expense, including wages and director fees, of $196,546
-
Corporate and compliance fees of $71,155, including audit fees, ASX listing fees, legal fees and share registry costs.
During the half-year, the Group funded ongoing exploration and evaluation work on its exploration tenements in Papua New Guinea.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
During the period the following significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company occurred:
-
On 13 November 2018 Jade Triumph International Limited agreed to further extend the maturity date for the convertible notes by twenty-four months to 19 December 2020. All other terms of the convertible notes remained unchanged.
-
The Company raised $2.4 million pursuant to a non-renounceable pro rata entitlement offer of one new fully paid ordinary share for every three shares held at $0.007 per share. A total of 345,381,843 fully paid ordinary shares were issued on 2 January 2019.
DIVIDENDS
No dividends were paid during the half-year and no recommendation is made as to payment of dividends.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
Except for the matters noted below, there have been no events since 31 December 2018 that impact upon the financial report.
-
On 2 January 2019, the Company issued 345,381,843 fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to the non-renounceable pro rata entitlement offer of one new fully paid ordinary share for every three shares that closed on 21 December 2018 (“Entitlement Offer”). Funds of $2.4 million were received by the Company prior to 31 December 2018 in relation to the Entitlement Offer.
-
On 28 February 2019, the Company announced a maiden Indicated Resource of 70kt contained Cu (grading 1%) and 64koz Au (grading 0.28g/t) from 7.03 Mt for the Mt Nakru Project. The Inferred plus Indicated Resource for contained Cu increased by 16% from the 2017 estimate to 309kt grading 0.75% from 41.4 Mt and contained Au increased by 44% from the 2017 estimate to 300koz grading 0.23 g/t.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
SCHEDULE OF TENEMENTS
As at 31 December 2018 the Group had interests in the following mineral exploration licences:
| Project | Tenement | Location | Area (km2) |
Period Acquired |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mt Nakru^^ | EL 1043 | West New Britain | 47 | Jan 2008 |
| Simuku | EL 2379 | WestNew Britain | 122 | Jan 2008 |
| Makmak | EL 2514 | West New Britain | 269 | Sep2017 |
| Kori River | ELA 2578 | West New Britain | 396 | Pending |
Two of the Company’s exploration licences, EL 1043 Mt Nakru and EL 2379 Simuku, together known as the West New Britain Projects ( WNB Projects ), were previously subject to a farm-in agreement with Barrick (PD) Australia Ltd ( Barrick* ), a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation. Barrick earned a 72% interest in the WNB Projects by spending more than $20 million on exploration. In July 2013 Coppermoly entered into an agreement with Barrick to reacquire 100% ownership of the WNB Projects’ licences on a staged basis. Barrick still holds a nominal 28% interest in the WNB Projects, which the Company has a binding agreement to acquire, completion of which will be affected on the payment of a further $4.5 million to Barrick within 6 months following the commencement of commercial production at the WNB Projects. Barrick do not have to contribute any further costs for exploration or development of the WNB Projects nor are they entitled to any profits from the projects.
- ^^ During the reporting period, the Company lodged a renewal application for the Mt Nakru tenement which expired on 7 December 2018 having reached the end of its statutory 2-year term. A Warden’s Hearing was held, and the renewal process is proceeding in accordance with the established regulatory processes in PNG. The Company believes it has complied with all license conditions, including minimum expenditure requirements, and is not aware of any matters or circumstances that have arisen that would result in the Company’s application for renewal of the exploration licences not being granted in the ordinary course of business.

COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR REPORT
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2018 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
These interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position, financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial statements. Accordingly, these half-year financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018 and any public announcements made by Coppermoly Ltd during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s 2018 Annual Financial Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018, except as stated below.
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period including AASB9 Financial Instruments and AASB15 Revenue Contracts with Customers . The adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations did not have any material financial impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements of the Group for the current or prior periods.
Going concern
The Group incurred a net loss of $378,760 for the half-year ended 31 December 2018. As at 31 December 2018 the Group had cash reserves of $2,906,435; net current assets of $2,275,504 and net assets of $15,848,478.
The Group’s projects are in the exploration and evaluation phase and the Group has not generated revenues from operations. During the reporting period, the Group had net cash outflows from operations of $221,785 and net cash outflows from investing activities of $858,747.
The Group has a non-current liability of $1,359,330 for convertible notes as at 31 December 2018. The Group has also committed to re-acquire Barrick (PNG Exploration) Limited’s (“Barrick”) interest in the tenements EL1043 and EL2379 for a final payment of $4,500,000 to be paid no later than six months after the commencement of commercial production at the West New Britain Projects, in addition to its exploration commitments under its other licences. Refer to note 5 for further details on the required payment to re-acquire the tenements from Barrick.
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following:
-
the ability of the company to raise additional capital in the future; and
-
the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the company’s tenements.
These conditions give rise to material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Page 13 of 20
COPPERMOLY LIMITED & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR REPORT (continued)
The directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate due to the following reasons:
-
To date the Group has funded its activities through issuance of equity securities and it is expected that the Group will be able to fund its future activities through further issuances of equity securities; and
-
The directors believe there is sufficient cash available for the Group to continue operating until it can raise sufficient further capital to fund its ongoing activities.
Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements.
This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The carrying values of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values as at 31 December 2018.
NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Description of segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. Operating segments are determined on the basis of financial information reported to the Board which is at the consolidated entity level. Accordingly, the consolidated entity is treated as one operating segment.
Therefore, management identifies the Group as having only one reportable segment. The financial results from this reportable segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the consolidated entity as a whole. There have been no changes in the operating segments during the period.

The ultimate recoupment of the costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas of interest.
In October 2009 the Group signed a Letter Agreement with Barrick (PNG Exploration) Limited ( Barrick ) to sole fund $20 million to earn up to 72% interest in Coppermoly Limited’s tenements (Mt Nakru and Simuku) ( WNB Projects ) on the island of New Britain 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.
The remaining key term of the renegotiated Reacquisition Deed with Barrick is as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Coppermoly Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Coppermoly Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear then ended, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
Emphasis of matter – Material uncertainty relating 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 conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Directors’ responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the Group, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
