Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2019
Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205
Chairman’s Report
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to report on what has been a productive year for Venturex as the Company made substantial progress towards the financing and development of our flagship asset, the Sulphur Springs Copper-Zinc Project in WA’s Pilbara.
Key achievements included:
-
the delivery of a high-quality feasibility study;
-
substantial progress with the environmental permitting process;
-
the recruitment of key personnel for the development and operations team;
-
the completion of two capital raisings; and
-
the procurement of a landmark $100 million project debt facility.
As one of the rare mid-tier scale undeveloped base metal projects in the world, Sulphur Springs will benefit from the turn in base copper and zinc prices due to the outstanding supply-demand fundamentals for both metals.
The key attributes of the Sulphur Springs Project in terms of its grade, scale, Tier-1 location, relatively low capital intensity and strong financial returns were clearly demonstrated by the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) delivered in October 2018, which confirmed the potential to develop a long-life, high-margin base metal operation.
Based on a revised configuration comprising an initial open pit to access high-grade near-surface supergene copper mineralisation followed by a longer-term bulk underground mining operation, the DFS outlined a 1.25Mtpa base case project producing on average 65ktpa of copper concentrate and 75ktpa of zinc concentrate over a +10-year life.
Importantly, the DFS delivered numerous improvements over the 2017 Value Engineering Study, including a 40 per cent increase in the Project’s Net Present Value to A$472 million, an increased Ore Reserve of 8.5Mt grading 1.4% Cu and 3.1% Zn, increased payable copper and zinc production and a pre-tax internal rate of return of 51 per cent and a significant reduction in pre-production capital.
The completion and delivery of the DFS was facilitated by a $2 million convertible loan provided by major shareholder, Northern Star Resources, which allowed us to press ahead with Feasibility work at full speed without having to raise additional capital during a difficult period in equity markets. Northern Star Resources subsequently converted this loan into shares.
Following completion of the DFS, the Company moved quickly to advance the project towards financing and development on a number of levels. Some of the key activities included:
-
The commencement of a project implementation strategy focused on Early Contractor Engagement and the identification and recruitment of key senior personnel to prepare the Company for operational readiness;
-
Further progress with the environmental approvals process for Sulphur Springs, with our permitting team liaising closely with the West Australian Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) in response to requests for additional information for the Environmental Review Document (ERD). At the time of writing this report, the EPA had advised Venturex that the ERD will be finalised and move to the final stage of determination;
-
The preparation of tender documents for key construction works, in conjunction with a focus on several optimisation opportunities and cost reduction strategies;
-
The completion of an Independent Technical Review of the Project on behalf of potential financiers, with no fatal flaws identified;
-
Capital raisings totalling almost $6 million, including a $2.3 million placement and SPP last year and $3.65 million institutional capital raising in March 2019, underpinned by institutional investors; and
-
Execution of a conditional Terms Sheet with global commodity trader, Trafigura Pte, for a US$70 million (A$100 million) senior debt facility.

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2019
Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205
Chairman’s Report
The funding package with Trafigura comprises a 4-year Copper and Zinc Pre-Payment Facility on competitive commercial terms, with minimal covenants and an extended grace period, deferring principal and interest payments.
As part of our financing strategy, the Company reached agreement with Japanese zinc refiner, Toho Zinc Co., Ltd to defer its existing zinc off-take rights (which stem from our original acquisition of the Project in 2011) for a period of five years to allow Venturex to use the near-term zinc off-take to help fund project development.
Securing a funding and off-take partner of the size and calibre of Trafigura represents a major step forward for Venturex and a strong endorsement of the quality of the project, the robustness of the Feasibility Study and the soundness of our development strategy.
Given our focus on financing and developing Sulphur Springs in order to make the transition to production and cash-flow as quickly as possible, our exploration activities during the year were necessarily of a limited and strategic nature.
A small program of Reverse Circulation drilling was completed at Sulphur Springs, designed to extend the shallow high-grade Supergene Resource. This program was successful, returning impressive thick highgrade intercepts of copper mineralisation, expanding and strengthening the shallow mineralisation and supporting our view that the zone extends further to the east.
Regionally, we completed a limited program of reconnaissance drilling at the Breakers Prospect, located 15km south of Sulphur Springs. The drilling encountered significant widths and grades of VMS mineralisation, intersecting several zones of high-grade mineralisation beneath a surface gossan that correlate with the results of historical drilling and presents as an attractive drilling target.
Subsequent drilling intersected widespread zinc mineralisation across a strike length of more than 1km, demonstrating that VMS mineralisation is widely distributed across the prospect and highlighting the fertility of the 27km long Panorama VMS Trend for further discoveries.
These, and other geophysical and geochemical targets along the VMS corridor, will be systematically tested by our exploration team in the years ahead with a view to discovering additional satellite deposits that can leverage off the processing infrastructure at Sulphur Springs and build an exciting long-term growth pipeline for the Company.
I am confident that Venturex is on a clear trajectory to become Australia’s next mid-tier base metals mine.
I would like to acknowledge the leadership and dedication of Managing Director AJ Saverimutto who has led his team with clear direction and passion. In doing so, I also thank the entire Venturex team of staff and contractors for their contributions over the course of the year and also acknowledge the strong ongoing support of our shareholders.

AUSTRALIA – PILBARA COPPER-ZINC
----- End of picture text -----
SUMMARY
Venturex Resources (“the Company” or “Venturex”) has continued to make significant progress on its assets in the Pilbara, with excellent progress on its flagship 100% owned Sulphur Springs project through further exploration drilling of both Sulphur Springs and its prospective deposit, Breakers as well as securing of a significant debt funding package that will facilitate the development of Sulphur Springs in line with the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”), which was completed in October 2018.
The Sulphur Springs project is the Company’s flagship project with a JORC compliant Resource of 13.8Mt at 1.5% Cu and 3.8% Zn (for ~200kt Cu and ~520kt Zn of contained metal). The DFS completed in October 2018 demonstrated strong project economics generating a free cash flow of A$818 million, a Net Present Value (NPV) of A$472 million and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 51%.[1]
The Company has a clear strategy on project construction and has short-listed all major construction contractors, with the tender process set to begin shortly. A number of project construction, development and operational optimisations have been established, which will form the key framework for project implementation.
The Company’s key focus is construction and development of the Sulphur Springs project.

Review of Operations
The key life of mine outcomes from the DFS include:
| Life of Mine(LOM) | 10 Years |
|---|---|
| Production Rate | 1.25 Million Tonnes |
| Mining Inventory | 12.6 Million Tonnes |
| Ore Reserve | 8.5 Million Tonnes @1.4% Cu & 3.1% Zn |
| Mineable Copper Grade | 1.4% |
| Mineable Zinc Grade | 3.6% |
| Pre-Production Capital Cost | A$169 Million |
| Project Revenue | A$2,625 Million |
| Pre-Tax Flow(Pre-tax real) | A$818 Million |
| Pre-Production Processing Plant and Infrastructure Capital | A$146 Million |
| Pre-Tax NPV8% | A$472 Million |
| Internal Rate Return(Pre-tax) | 51% |
| Average Annual Pre-Tax Cash Flow | ~A$80 Million |
Table 1: Key Life of Mine Outcomes from the DFS[1]
The results confirmed the Project’s exceptionally strong financial and technical merits based on a 1.25 million tonne per annum (“Mtpa”) open pit and underground development. The DFS indicates that Sulphur Springs will deliver average annual production of ~65ktpa of 25% Copper concentrate (~15ktpa Cu payable metal) and 75ktpa of ~50% Zinc concentrate (~35ktpa Zn payable metal).
Environmental approvals are well advanced as is project implementation and tendering strategy. A number of new personnel have been employed in recent months to facilitate project execution and development.
Whim Creek Project
Ongoing geological interpretation of the Whim Creek projects aims to identify further exploration opportunities that will lead to an appropriate project development strategy.
SULPHUR SPRINGS EXPLORATION
Over the course of 2018-19, the Company commenced a highly successful exploration programme at its flagship Sulphur Springs Project. The programme represents the first phase of a renewed focus on exploration at Sulphur Springs and within the broader Panorama Trend. Venturex believes there is excellent potential to discover additional resources and add to the current Resource and metal inventory via systematic and focused exploration.
Reverse-Circulation drilling (RC) at the Sulphur Springs deposit intersected thick zones of massive and semimassive sulphides with outstanding intercepts of high-grade copper +/- zinc mineralisation (see ASX releases 18 June 2019 and 26 June 2019). Significant results from the Sulphur Springs drill-holes are:
SSR007:
-
29m @ 1.47% Cu from 45m
-
9m @ 0.86% Cu from 82m
-
31m @ 3.24% Cu from 94m
-
including an outstanding high-grade interval of 11m @ 4.15% Cu from 99m
SSR008:
-
63m @ 1.89% Cu from 45m
-
Including Supergene zone of 21m @ 2.82% Cu from 45m
-
Including an outstanding high-grade interval of 5m @ 5.43% Cu from 45m
-
10m @ 10.78% Zn from 74m
-
Including an outstanding high-grade interval of 6m @ 15.10% Zn from 76m
The outstanding copper and zinc mineralisation intersected SSR008 and SSR007 highlight the quality and size of the Sulphur Springs system. Limited drilling has been completed to the east of these drill-holes; this represents a further exploration opportunity for future drilling where additional high-grade zones similar that intersected in the current drilling are expected to continue.
A detailed 3D structural and geochemical study was also completed at the Sulphur Springs deposit with the aim of reconstructing the primary basin architecture and identifying syn-mineralisation feeder-faults. The updated geological model confirms a number of priority targets on the margins of the deposit, including a broad target at the Bledisloe Prospect located approximately 750m West of Sulphur Springs.

Reprocessing and reinterpretation of the Sulphur Springs 2017 XCITE Airborne-Electromagnetic (AEM) data over the Sulphur Springs project was also completed to help identify and highlight subtle variations in the subsurface resistivity that may not be evident from the original profile data. Results from this work identified EM anomalies XA_10 and XA_11 as being potential Sulphur Springs look-a-like targets in an area of the project that has experienced very little previous exploration work.
Follow-up geological mapping completed at the anomalies confirms the existence of the Sulphur Springs Marker Chert unit, additional rock-chip results from these anomalies also identify up to 0.40% Zinc with elevated levels of associated VMS pathfinder elements such as Arsenic, Antinomy, Barium, Cadmium, Cobalt, Molybdenum and Thallium.

The exploration team also continued to expanded its coverage along the prospective Marker Chert contact that runs for 27km south-southwest through the Panorama Trend. Field assessment and review of a number of highpriority gossans, along with geochemical and EM targets was completed throughout the project.
Rock chips sampling of cuprite-malachite gossan at the Breakers Prospect, located approximately 15km south of Sulphur Springs returned exceptional values of up to 36.7% Cu, 0.42% Zn, 0.19% Pb and 124ppm Ag (see ASX release 01 May 2019).
Follow-up exploration drilling programme at the Breakers prospect intersected significant Zn-Pb-Ag+/-Cu mineralisation at the main Breakers target, along with promising sulphide (+/-Zn) mineralisation and associated alteration across >1.5kms of strike (see ASX releases 17 July 2019 and 04 September 2019).

Conglomerate Hosted Gold Potential
During the year the Company completed additional reconnaissance creek sediment sampling at the Mays Find and Loudens Patch prospects to assess the potential for conglomerate hosted gold mineralisation (see Image 8 below).
Results from the northern end of the Mays Find area (Morning-After Prospect) have defined particulate gold in creeks over at least 500m of strike. The particulate gold identified occurs below a ridge line containing outcrop of the prospective lower Fortescue Group conglomerates.
Geological mapping completed as part of the sampling program also discovered a previously unrecognised zone of prospective conglomerate south of the current sampling; the strike length of this unit is interpreted to be greater than 1,000m.
Results from the Loudens Patch area have also defined particulate gold within creeks and drainage systems over at least 500m of strike. The particulate gold identified occurs below an elevated ridge of the prospective Fortescue Group Mt Roe Basalt and basal conglomerates.
Follow-up work at Mays Find and Loudens Patch is planned to be completed in the coming year.

Whim Creek Operations
The Processing and Access Agreement with Blackrock Metals Pty Ltd (Blackrock) provides access and the ability to manage the reprocessing of the existing Whim Creek oxide copper heap leach pads previously constructed by Straits Resources Limited at the Whim Creek site in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. During the 2018-2019 year, Blackrock continued to implement several measures to sustain production.
An agreement was successfully negotiated during the year with Blackrock to continue operations at the Whim Creek heap leach.
In March 2019 the site received heavy rainfall associated with the passage of Cyclone Veronica. The rainfall was in the order of 500mm which exceeded that of 1 in 100-year rain fall event. The results of which was overtopping of the process and stormwater infrastructure which was designed for a 1 in 100-year rainfall event.
The Whim Creek Site was classified as ‘possibly contaminated’ following a Contaminated Site investigation in January 2010, prior to Venturex ownership. Additional information was requested by Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) and provided in November 2014 which did not result in change of classification. Subsequent to the end of the current reporting period DWER revised the contaminated sites classification to ‘’possibly contaminated – investigation required’’ and requested further investigations to a prescribed standard and a comprehensive report of investigations, monitoring data and risk assessments for the site and downstream of the site including the events subsequent to the overtopping from Cyclone Veronica in March 2019. The site operator, Blackrock, and the Company have entered into arrangements to implement the required actions and report to DWER.
In April 2019, The Company and Blackrock received a draft Environmental Protection Notice (EPN) from DWER regarding the operations of the Whim Creek Copper Project. Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Company and Blackrock received the final EPN. Part of the EPNs requirement was returning the site to normal operational state after Cyclone Veronica and to control and prevent any potential emissions from the site. The Company and Blackrock are working together in fulfilment of the EPN requirements.

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2019

Directors’ Report
Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations
The Group will continue to advance the development of the Company’s Sulphur Springs Copper – Zinc Project as part of the Company’s drive to commercialise the Project and will continue exploration programs in the Pilbara, which may result in additional discoveries.
Environmental Regulation
The Group’s operations are subject to significant regulation under both Commonwealth and State legislation in relation to mining and exploration activities.
The regulatory bodies are the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER), the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS), and the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).
The Whim Creek Site was classified as ‘possibly contaminated’ following a Contaminated Site investigation in January 2010, prior to Venturex ownership. Additional information was requested by DWER and provided in November 2014 which did not result in a change of classification. During the current reporting period DWER requested further information, which was provided in July 2019. Heavy rainfall associated with the passage of cyclone Veronica in March 2019 (estimated to be in the order of 500mm over two days) resulted in overtopping of process and stormwater infrastructure. Subsequent to the end of the reporting period DWER revised the classification to ‘’possibly contaminated – investigation required’’ and requested further investigations to a prescribed standard and a comprehensive report of investigations, monitoring data and risk assessments for the site and downstream of the site. The site operator, Blackrock Metals Pty Ltd (Blackrock), and the Company have entered into arrangements to implement the required actions and report to DWER.
In April 2019, The Company and the Blackrock received a draft Environmental Protection Notice (EPN) from DWER regarding the operations of the Whim Creek Copper Project. Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Company and Blackrock received the final EPN and have entered into arrangements to investigate, control and prevent any potential emissions from the site, in fulfilment of EPN requirements.
Notwithstanding the largely legacy driven issues arising at the Whim Creek site, the Board believes that the Group has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental obligations.
Directors’ Interests
Interest in Shares and Options refer to the relevant interest of each Director in the shares or options over shares issued by the companies within the Group and other related body corporate as notified by the Directors to the Australian Securities Exchange in accordance with Section 205G(1) of the Corporations Act 2001, as at the date of this report.

Directors’ Indemnities
The Group provides Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance to cover legal liability and expenses for the Directors and Officers performing work on behalf of the Group.
Proceedings on Behalf of Company
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or part of those proceedings.
No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Group with leave of the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.
Non-Audit Services
The Group may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Company and/or the Group are important.
The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the audit committee, is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
– all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been reviewed by the audit committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
– the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Group, BDO, and its network firms for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out below.

A. Remuneration Policy
Remuneration of all Executive and Non-Executive Directors and Officers of the Group is determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
The Group is committed to remunerating Senior Executives and Executive Directors in a manner that is marketcompetitive, consistent with "Best Practice" and supports the interests of Shareholders. Remuneration packages are based on fixed and variable components, determined by the Executive’s position, experience and performance, and may be satisfied via cash or equity.
Non-Executive Directors are remunerated out of the aggregate amount approved by Shareholders and at a level that is consistent with industry standards. Non-Executive Directors do not receive performance based bonuses and prior Shareholder approval is required to participate in any issue of equity. No retirement benefits are payable other than statutory superannuation, if applicable.
The maximum annual aggregate directors’ fee pool limit is $400,000 and was approved by shareholders at the general meeting on 23 July 2012.
Remuneration Policy versus Company Financial Performance
The Group's remuneration policy has been based on industry practice rather than the performance of the Group and takes into account the risk and liabilities assumed by the Directors and Executives as a result of their involvement in the speculative activities undertaken by the Group.
Performance Based Remuneration
The purpose of a performance bonus is to link individual rewards to the performance of the Company. The Company reviews the mechanism to determine individual performance bonuses on an annual basis. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are to retain and motivate Key Executives, attract high quality Management to the Company and provide performance incentives that allow Executives to share in the success of the Company.
For details of performance based remuneration refer to Section G - Performance income as a proportion of total remuneration of the Remuneration Report.

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2019
Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
Reporting Entity
Venturex Resources Limited (the “Company”) is domiciled in Australia.
The Company’s registered office is at 91 Havelock Street, West Perth, Western Australia. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”).
The Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in the exploration and development of base metals.
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 September 2019.
This is the first set of the Group’s annual financial statements in which AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments have been applied. Changes to significant accounting policies are described below.
Functional and Presentation Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
Basis of Measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Going Concern
For the year ended 30 June 2019 the Company recorded a loss of $2,711,395 (2018 $2,484,580) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $877,532 (2018: $1,926,659). The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through its 15% share placement capacity (or larger percentage subject to Shareholder approval) or via short term loan funding arrangements to continue to fund its operational and marketing activities.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Management believe there are sufficient funds to meet the entity’s working capital.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:
-
The Directors are of the opinion that the Group’s exploration and development assets will attract further capital investment when required.
-
The Directors will continue to maximise the value of existing assets through careful planning of drilling campaigns, calculation of mineral resources as sufficient data becomes available. With regards to the Sulphur Springs Copper – Zinc Project, the Directors will continue with ongoing discussions with interested groups on opportunities to advance the Project’s development as part of the Company’s drive to commercialise the Sulphur Springs Copper – Zinc Project.
-
The Group will also consider divestments if the proceeds are likely to exceed the realisable value of such assets if they were retained.
-
If the Group is unable to raise additional capital, the Company will investigate funding options including joint venturing the project, defer or reduce certain feasibility and exploration expenditure, divesting other non-core assets or reviewing the Company’s current activities such that the Group will remain a going concern.
Should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group Entities, unless otherwise stated.
- (a) Basis of Consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it 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 over the entity.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the assets transferred.
A list of subsidiaries is contained in Note 26 to the financial statements. All subsidiaries have a June financial year-end.
Loss of control
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related noncontrolling interest and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
- (b) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards
In the current year ended 30 June 2019, 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 an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2018.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Group include:
-
AASB 9 Financial Instruments;
-
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers; and
-
AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards
In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 9 Financial Instruments and the related consequential amendments to other Accounting Standards that are effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. The transition provisions of AASB 9 allow an entity not to restate comparatives however there was no material impact on adoption of the standard.
Additionally, the Group adopted consequential amendments to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
In summary AASB 9 introduced new requirements for:
-
The classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities;
-
Impairment of financial assets; and
-
General hedge accounting.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related amending Standards
In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers which is effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. AASB 15 introduced a 5-step approach to revenue recognition. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in AASB 15 to deal with specific scenarios. There was no material impact on adoption of the standard and no adjustment made to current or prior period amounts.
(c) Foreign Currencies
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group Entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
- (d) Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Group has initially applied AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. Information about the Group’s accounting policies relating to contracts with customers is provided in Note 1(b). The effect of initially applying AASB 15 is described in Note 1(b).
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control over a good or service to a customer at the amount to which the Group is expected to be entitled.
- (e) Finance Income and Finance Costs
The Group’s finance income and finance costs include interest income, interest expense, unwinding of the discount on provisions, and impairment losses recognised on financial assets. Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method.
The ‘effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
-
the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
-
the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
(f) Financial Instruments
Recognition and initial measurements
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets – Policy applicable from 1 July 2019
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost; fair value through other comprehensive income – debt investment; fair value through other comprehensive income – equity investment; or fair value through profit or loss.

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2019
Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as fair value through profit or loss:
-
it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A debt investment is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at fair value through profit or loss:
-
it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
-
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value through other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income as described above are measured at fair value through profit or loss. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets – Business model assessment: Policy applicable from 1 July 2019
The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:
-
the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realising cash flows through the sale of the assets;
-
how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s management;
-
the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;
-
how managers of the business are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and
-
the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, consistent with the Group’s continuing recognition of the assets.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest: Policy applicable from 1 July 2019
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:
-
contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
-
terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
-
prepayment and extension features; and
-
terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual paramount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual paramount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Financial assets – Subsequent measurement and gains and losses: Policy applicable from 1 July 2019
Financial assets at fair value These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any through profit or loss interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets – Policy applicable before 1 July 2019
The Group classified its financial assets into one of the following categories:
loans and receivables; held to maturity; available for sale; and at fair value through profit or loss, and within this category as: held for trading; or designated as at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets – Subsequent measurement and gains and losses: Policy applicable before 1 July 2019
Financial assets at fair value Measured at fair value and changes therein, including any interest or dividend income, were through profit or loss recognised in profit or loss. Held-to-maturity financial assets Measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Loans and receivables Measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Available-for-sale financial assets Measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses, interest income and foreign currency differences on debt instruments, were recognised in OCI and accumulated in the fair value reserve. When these assets were derecognised, the gain or loss accumulated in equity was reclassified to profit or loss.
Financial liabilities – Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition
Financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its statement of financial position but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The group does not hold any derivate financial instruments.
(g) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in, first-out principle.

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- (h) Property, Plant and Equipment
Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
| 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 3-30years | 3-30years |
| Buildings | 7-20 years | 7-20 years |
| Furniture and Fittings | 8-20 years | 8-20 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
- (i) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
- (j) Impairment Non-derivative financial assets – Policy applicable from 1 July 2019
Financial instruments and contract assets
The Group recognises loss allowances for Expected Credit Losses (ECLs) on:
financial assets measured at amortised cost; and
contract assets.
Loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:
-
the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or
-
the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).
ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2019
Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Credit-impaired financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
-
significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
-
a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;
-
the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise; or
-
it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
Non-derivative financial assets – Policy applicable before 1 July 2019
Financial assets not classified as at FVTPL were assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there was objective evidence of impairment.
Objective evidence that financial assets were impaired included:
-
default or delinquency by a debtor;
-
restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;
-
indications that a debtor or issuer would enter bankruptcy;
-
adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers;
-
observable data indicating that there was a measurable decrease in the expected cash flows from a group of financial assets.
Non-financial assets
At each end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the assets carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the profit or loss.
Impairment testing is performed bi-annually for intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
(k) Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
- Other long term employee benefits
The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior period. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Share-based payment arrangements
The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(l) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2019
Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Rehabilitation
A provision for rehabilitation is recognised if, as a result of exploration and development activities undertaken, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. The estimated future obligations include the costs of restoring the affected areas contained in the Group’s tenements.
Future rehabilitation costs will be reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the rehabilitation provision at each end of the reporting period. The initial estimate of rehabilitation is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and is amortised on the same basis as the related asset. Subsequent remeasurement of the provision for rehabilitation is recognised in Profit or Loss. The unwinding of the provision for rehabilitation is recognised as a finance cost.
(m) Convertible notes
Convertible notes were issued by the Group (see note 15), which includes an option to convert the note to a variable number of shares in the Group. These convertible notes are recognised as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. On initial recognition, the fair value of the convertible note will equate to the proceeds received and subsequently the liability is remeasured at fair value each reporting period. The fair value movements are recognised on the profit or loss as finance costs.
(n) Leases
Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease.
At inception or on reassessment of an arrangement that contains a lease, the Group separates payments and other consideration required by the arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset; subsequently, the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.
Leased assets
Operating leases are leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group and are not recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position.
Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
- (o) Income Tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in OCI.
Current Tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
-
temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
-
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
-
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognise a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(p) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cashflows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(q) Research & Development (“R&D”) incentives refundable
Refundable tax incentives are accounted for by offsetting the refund against the original expenditure, capitalised expenditure or Plant and Equipment.
- (r) Earnings per Share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after income tax attributable to ordinary Shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after income tax attributable to ordinary Shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees.
- (s) Segment Reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that related to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.
- (t) Share Capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares, share options and performance rights are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(u) Use of Estimates and Judgements
Management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies The following are the critical judgements (apart from those involving estimations, which are dealt with below), that Management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Impairment of assets and exploration and evaluation expenditure
The Group determines whether non-current assets should be assessed for impairment based on identified impairment triggers. At each reporting date Management assesses the impairment triggers based on their knowledge and judgement. Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
The exploration and evaluation expenditure is reviewed regularly to ensure that the capitalised expenditure is only carried forward to the extent that it is expected to be recouped through the successful development of the areas of interest or when activities in the areas of interest have not yet reached a stage which permit reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Share-based payment transactions – performance rights
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with Directors and Key Management Personnel and service providers by reference to the fair value of the performance rights at the date at which they are granted.
The fair value at grant date for performance rights issued with a market condition are calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, taking into account the impact of the market condition.
The fair values of performance rights issued with a material transaction condition are calculated using the share price on the date of issue.
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period considers the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Provision for rehabilitation
The provision for rehabilitation is based on the present obligations of the estimates of the future sacrifice of economic benefits required to meet the environmental liabilities on the Group’s tenements. The Group has considered the provision for rehabilitation for its exploration tenements based on reports conducted by independent consultants. The Group has estimated the increase in costs over time for rehabilitation would increase by the Consumer Price Index, and the discount value in determining the present value of the provision for rehabilitation would be the 10-year Government bond rate.
Estimate of useful lives of assets
The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on Taxation Ruling TR 2019/5 and historical experience. The condition of the assets is assessed at year end and considered against the remaining useful life. Details of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are set out in Note 1(h).
- (v) New Accounting Standard for Application in Future Periods
The following new/amended accounting standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not mandatory for financial years ended 30 June 2019. They have not been adopted in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019 and are expected to impact the entity in the period of initial application. In all cases the entity intends to apply these standards from application date as indicated below.
Leases
AASB reference: AASB 16 (issued February 2016)
Nature of Change: AASB 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for lessees currently accounted for under AASB 117 Leases. It instead requires an entity to bring most leases into its statement of financial position in a similar way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset in its statement of financial position for most leases. There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period of 12 months or less and for low value leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from AASB 117.
Application date: Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
Impact on Initial Application: To the extent that the entity, as lessee, has significant operating leases outstanding at the date of initial application, 1 July 2019, right-of-use assets will be recognised for the amount of the unamortised portion of the useful life, and lease liabilities will be recognised at the present value of the outstanding lease payments.
Thereafter, earnings before interest, depreciation, amortisation and tax (EBITDA) will increase because operating lease expenses currently included in EBITDA will be recognised instead as amortisation of the right-of-use asset, and interest expense on the lease liability. However, there will be an overall reduction in net profit before tax in the early years of a lease because the amortisation and interest charges will exceed the current straight-line expense incurred under AASB 117 Leases . This trend will reverse in the later years.
There will be no change to the accounting treatment for short-term leases less than 12 months and leases of low value items, which will continue to be expensed on a straight-line basis.
Management is currently assessing the effects of applying the new leases standard on the entity’s financial statements. At this stage, the entity is not able to estimate the effects of any right-of use assets and lease liabilities required to be capitalised in the entity’s financial statements. The standard is likely to impact the Group’s corporate office lease.
Comparatives will need to be retrospectively restated, either back to 1 July 2018 if the full retrospective transitional requirements are applied, or to 1 July 2019 if the modified retrospective transitional requirements are applied. Modified retrospective restatement requires that the cumulative effect of applying AASB 16 for the first time be recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated earnings (losses) on 1 July 2019.
Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the Group
The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the full-year ended 30 June 2019. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.

(d) Unrecognised deferred tax assets
The Group has not recognised deferred tax assets. This future income tax benefit will only be obtained if:
-
the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;
-
the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation;
-
no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit.
Deferred tax assets not brought to account, the benefits of which will only be realised if the conditions for deductibility set out above occur, are as follows:
| Deductible temporary differences Tax losses |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 23 - Contingencies
The Group’s contingencies are as follows:
-
As part of the acquisition of Venturex Pilbara Pty Ltd, Venturex included as part of the purchase consideration a contingent liability. This is based upon an announcement of the Company’s intention to commence mining operations on any of the tenements held by Venturex or its related bodies corporate, within 100 kilometres of Whim Creek. Venturex will issue such number of shares equal to $3,000,000 divided by the 30 day volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares trading on the ASX over the period ending on the day immediately prior to any announcement of the intention to commence mining operations by the Company. This is subject to receipt of all necessary Shareholder approvals. If approval is not obtained, Venturex will instead pay the amount of $3,500,000 cash. A deed of variation was entered into and a royalty is payable of $30 per tonne of contained Copper Metal for any additional material added to the Heap Leach Dumps after 1 March 2016.
-
As part of the acquisition of Venturex Sulphur Springs Pty Ltd, Venturex included as part of the purchase consideration the grant of zinc off-take rights to Toho Zinc capped at 230,000t of zinc in zinc concentrate from Sulphur Springs (or Venturex’s other Pilbara Operations) on international benchmark terms. On 19 March 2019, Venturex modified the terms with Toho Zinc to defer its existing offtake for 5 years and increase tonnes to 280,000t of zinc in zinc concentrate.
-
As part of the acquisition of the Venturex Sulphur Springs Pty Ltd, Venturex included as part of the purchase consideration the granting of a capped royalty of $2.00 per dry metric tonne for any ore mined and processed from the tenements, capped at $3.67m.
-
As part of the acquisition of the Kangaroo Caves and Panorama Tenements, Venturex included as part of the purchase consideration the granting of an uncapped royalty of $2.00 per dry metric tonne for any ore mined and processed from the tenements.
-
As part of the termination of a Joint Venture Agreement, Venturex granted a royalty of 2.4% of the total value of minerals mined from the Liberty Indee tenements, in accordance with the Mining Act and used by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety to calculate the State Royalty.
-
As part of the Whim Creek Site being historical classified as a ‘possibly contaminated’ site (2010) and the heavy rainfall associated with the passage of cyclone Veronica in March 2019, this has resulted in DWER making a revised classification to ‘’possibly contaminated – investigation required’’ and requested further investigations to a prescribed standard and a comprehensive report of investigations, monitoring data and risk assessments for the site and downstream of the site. In addition, DWER issued Environmental Protection Notice (EPN) from DWER regarding the operations of the Whim Creek Copper Project. The Company and Blackrock (site operator) have entered into arrangements to investigate, control and prevent any potential emissions from the site, in fulfilment of EPN requirements. There is a potential cost in the future however it can’t be quantified at present.
The contingencies will only become payable if favourable economic and infrastructure conditions exist to justify the mining and processing of the ore. These conditions are influenced by numerous external factors for which there is no certainty, and therefore, the Group has made no provision in its account for these potential contingent liabilities.
Note 24 - Operating Segments
The Board of Directors, who are the chief operating decision makers, has identified one reportable segment from a geographical prospective with the mineral exploration segments being the Australian segments.
Management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of exploration and evaluation expenditure for each geographical area. The measure excludes items such as the effects of share based payments expenses, interest income and corporate expenses as these activities are centralised.

(b) Measurement of fair values
- i. Recurring fair value measurements
The Group does not have any financial instruments that are subject to recurring or non-recurring fair value measurements.
- ii. Fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of current receivables and current trade and other payables is assumed to equal their fair value.
(c) Financial Risk Management
The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
credit risk (refer to (c) (ii));
liquidity risks (refer to (c) (iii)); and
market risk (refer to (c) (iv)).
(c) (i) Risk management framework
The Company’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework.
The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities.
The Group audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.
(c) (ii) 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, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and contract assets represent the maximum credit exposure.
The Group is exposed to credit risk via its cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. To reduce risk exposure for the Group's cash and cash equivalents, it places them with high credit quality financial institutions.
The Group has analysed its trade and other receivables below. Trade and other receivables disclosed below have been impaired by Nil (2018: Nil).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(c) (iii) Liquidity Risk
The Group is exposed to liquidity risk via its trade and other payables. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet the commitments associated with its financial liabilities. Responsibility for liquidity risk rests with the Board who manage liquidity risk by monitoring undiscounted cash flow forecasts and actual cash flows provided to them by the Group's Management at Board meetings to ensure that the Group continues to be able to meet its debts as and when they fall due. Contracts are not entered into unless the Board believes that there is sufficient cash flow to fund the additional activity. The Board considers when reviewing its undiscounted cash flows forecasts whether the Group needs to raise additional funding from the equity markets.
The Group has analysed its trade and other payables below based on their expected maturities.
| Note 2019 Trade and other payables 14 2018 Trade and other payables 14 |

|
| 1,383,108 611 - - 1,383,719 |
(c) (iv) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – e.g. 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.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instruments value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s interest rate risk primarily arises from cash and cash equivalents and long term deposits held. Risk is managed by regular monitoring of the fluctuations of the interest rates. The effective weighted average interest rate on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities is as follows:
| Note Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate 2019 Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents 8 1.37% Trade and other receivables 9 - Other assets 11 2.25% Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities: Trade and other payables 14 Total Financial Liabilities 2018 Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents 8 1.47% Trade and other receivables 9 - Other assets 11 2.35% Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities: Trade and other payables 14 Total Financial Liabilities |

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of Venturex Resources Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Venturex Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, 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 year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration.
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 2019 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 (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.
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.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

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.

Key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
==> picture [230 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [240 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
The Group’s provision for rehabilitation, as disclosed in Note 17 was a key audit matter as it requires significant estimates of future costs.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to:
- agreeing provision balances to supporting reconciliations and cost models;
The rehabilitation provision is required to be assessed each reporting period to reflect the best estimate of future costs necessary to restore the land and the estimated timing of when those costs will be incurred, discounted to a present value.
-
assessing the mathematical accuracy of the provision for rehabilitation calculations;
-
assessing the competency and objectivity of the Group’s external expert involved with future rehabilitation expenditure estimates;
The determination of the provision requires
management’s judgement in relation to estimating the costs of performing the work required, including volume and unit rates, the timing of cash flows, the appropriate discount rate and environmental legislative requirements.
-
evaluating the adequacy of the experts work;
-
assessing the expected timing of the rehabilitation to the respective Life of Mine (“LoM”) models and evaluating the reasonableness of the discount rate applied to the expected cash flows; and
-
assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in Note 17 to the financial statements.

Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
----- End of picture text -----
| At 30 June 2019 the carrying value of Exploration and Evaluation Assets was disclosed in Note 13 of the Financial Report. As the carrying value of these Exploration and Evaluation Assets represents a significant asset of the Group, we considered it necessary to assess whether any facts or circumstances exist to suggest that the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its recoverable amount. Judgement is applied in determining the treatment of exploration expenditure in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6_Exploration for and_ Evaluation of Mineral Resources. In particular: |
Our procedures included, but were not limited to: • Obtaining a schedule of the areas of interest held by the Group and assessing whether the rights to tenure of those areas of interest remained current at balance date; • Holding discussions with management as to the status of ongoing exploration programmes in the respective areas of interest; • Considering whether any such areas of interest had reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of economically recoverable reserves existed; |
|---|---|
-
Whether the conditions for capitalisation are satisfied;
-
Considering whether any facts or circumstances existed to suggest impairment testing was required;
-
Which elements of exploration and impairment testing was required; evaluation expenditures qualify for • Verifying, on a sample basis, exploration recognition; and and evaluation expenditure capitalised
-
• Whether facts and circumstances during the year for compliance with the indicate that the exploration and recognition and measurement criteria of expenditure assets should be tested AASB 6; and for impairment. • Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in Note 13 to the Financial Report.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
