Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Chairman’s Report

Dear Fellow Shareholder

What an amazing year it has been for our Company!

The strategic funding package unveiled in February 2021 marked the start of a new journey which I have no doubt will be as fascinating as it is rewarding. It will see your Company re-positioned to capitalise on the once-in-a-generation opportunities which will flow from the push to decarbonise the world. But as we become part of this global campaign, there will also be some elements of our strategy which will be unique.

At the time of writing, Shareholders have just approved the change of our Company’s name to Develop Global Ltd. This was the culmination of the strategic funding package that began with the recapitalisation led by former Northern Star Resources Executive Chair Bill Beament. Since the announcement of that package, the Company has raised a total of $25 million in equity, including the conversion of options.

The Board has also been restructured. The changes saw the departure of Directors, Tony Kiernan, Darren Stralow and Anthony O’Reilly. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Tony, Darren and Anthony for their long and dedicated service to our Company. I also thank Craig McGown, who resigned as a Director after playing a key role in the funding strategy. I wish Tony, Darren, Anthony and Craig all the best for the future.

As part of the Board changes, Mr Beament was appointed Managing Director, highly successful mining executive Mick McMullen was appointed a Director and so too was leading public company director Shirley In’t Veld. I also joined the Board as Non-executive Chair.

Your Board is confident that the recapitalisation and restructure has delivered the skills, experience, and balance sheet to realise its strategy to become a supplier of new generation energy materials. As part of this strategy, we aim to build a world-class underground mining team which can be deployed on assets owned by our Company as well as used to unlock the value of projects held by others.

We are currently in the midst of a $10 million infill drilling program to de-risk and grow our Sulphur Springs copper-zinc project in the Pilbara. The drilling will also test for extensions to the known mineralisation in what is the first exploration drilling programme undertaken at the main deposit in 25 years.

The drilling is designed to deliver a resource update in the June quarter of next year, which will in turn underpin our project funding strategy. At the same time, we will advance the approvals process.

As I said at the outset, we have just started our new journey. But I believe we have made an outstanding start and we are well on track to creating significant shareholder value by applying our core strengths of a highly experienced management team and a strong balance sheet to the enormous opportunities which are emerging from the decarbonisation agenda.

I look forward to reporting to you as we implement this strategy.

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Review of Operations

Sulphur Springs Project

The Sulphur Springs Project is 112 kilometres southeast of Port Hedland, accessed by established roads. It is on granted mining tenure 100% owned by Venturex Resources Ltd. A Mining Agreement with the Nyamal People, who hold native title over the area, is in place.

Sulphur Springs has the potential to be a profitable base metal mine with low operating costs and robust margins as evidenced by a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) completed in October 2018.

The key life of mine physical 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%

Table 1: Key Life of Mine Outcomes from the DFS (Refer to ASX Release 10 October 2018)

The DFS results confirmed the Project’s strong financial and technical merits based on a 1.25 million tonne per annum (“Mtpa”) open pit and underground development to deliver average annual production of ~65ktpa of 25% Copper concentrate (~15ktpa Cu payable metal) and 75ktpa of ~50% Zinc concentrate (~35ktpa Zn payable metal).

During the year a number of environmental approvals necessary for implementation of the Project were obtained. These included a groundwater licence, a Mining Proposal for the construction of an access road and the fulfilment of several conditions of the primary Ministerial Statement. Baseline environmental monitoring was completed across the Project area.

Geotechnical and hydrological studies at the site of the proposed tailings storage facility were undertaken. The design of the facility was progressed, and the layout of the processing plant refined during the year. This information will be included in several other approval applications once finalised.

In parallel with the Environmental Approval the Company progressed project implementation and development strategies. Advances were made in developing tender packages for the construction phase along with pre-engagement with preferred contractors. Several optimisation opportunities were identified that will add value in terms of both project development and operations.

Subsequent to the 2018 Definitive Feasibility Study the company has substituted diesel power generation with natural gas. This will involve Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) being trucked to site, stored, and vaporised under a build-own-operate (“BOO”) arrangement. The gas power strategy is likely to deliver significant operating cost savings over the life of mine whilst also significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the project.

Subsequent to the end of the reporting year the company has completed geotechnical drilling of the Tailings Storage Facility location. Work is now underway to complete the detailed design of the TSF.

Whim Creek Joint Venture Project

Reprocessing of the existing Whim Creek oxide copper heap leach pads, previously constructed by Straits Resources Limited, ceased at the end of October 2019 and the site was placed onto care and maintenance with PPM Global commissioned to manage the site activities.

In 2020 Venturex entered into a joint venture agreement with Anax Metals Limited (Anax) whereby Anax was able to earn up to 80% of the Whim Creek Project subject to meeting specified expenditure milestones. Anax met the milestones and assumed management control of the project during the year. Venturex retains a 20% interest in the Whim Creek Project.

Anax advanced the upgrade of key containment infrastructure during the year, focussed on process ponds and overflow pond. The works contribute to the fulfilment of requirements of an Environmental Protection Notice (EPN) administered by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and preparing the site for operations. Environmental investigations, monitoring and statutory reporting were also completed by Anax during the year.

Anax has reported significant progress in studies aimed at recommencing commercial operations at Whim Creek based on existing site infrastructure and the innovative use of ore sorting technology. Subsequent to the end of the year Anax announced the outcomes of a positive scoping study and development strategy based on the currently defined resource base (Anax, 30 August 2021).

Review of Operations

Exploration

During the 2020-2021 year the company’s geology team continued to progress systematic exploration activities at both the Sulphur Springs and Whim Creek Projects.

Sulphur Springs Project

The Sulphur Springs Project is located 144km south east of Port Hedland and hosts the companies 13.8Mt Sulphur Springs, and 3.55Mt Kangaroo Caves Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Resources, along with several significant exploration prospects (Figure 1).

==> picture [462 x 252] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Sulphur Springs Project.

During the year the company completed a highly successful exploration drilling programme at the Breakers (and XA8) Greenfields Prospects (see ASX Releases 17 December 2021 and 20 January 2021).

The Breakers exploration programme was designed to systematically test geochemical and geophysical anomalism identified during 2019 at the Breakers Main Gossan and Breakers North targets. The sevenhole (1886m) Reverse Circulation (RC) exploration drilling programme intersected additional intervals of thick, high-grade zinc with additional copper and silver mineralisation at the Breakers Prospect, including:

BKR013

  • 20m @ 16.2g/t Ag, 0.31% Cu, 0.72% Pb & 8.54% Zn from 180m , including:

  • 6m @ 36.0g/t Ag, 0.75% Cu, 0.63% Pb & 19.4% Zn from 186m, including:

  • 1m @ 114.0g/t Ag, 2.37% Cu, & 16.1% Zn from 187m.

BKR012

  • 8m @ 2.2g/t Ag & 0.51% Zn from 202m, and

  • 28m @ 0.3% Zn from 136m.

BKR014

  • 6m @ 19.0/t Ag & 1.10% Zn from 198m.

BKR015

  • 10m @ 0.15% Zn from 201m.

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Review of Operations

Mineralisation at Breakers forms a broad, low-to-moderate grade envelope around a linear, elongate high-grade core of uniform thickness (averaging 18-20m) which is interpreted to be structurally controlled and potentially associated with a felsic intrusive; this remains open along strike and down-plunge.

The exceptional intersection within hole BRK013 (20m @ 8.54% Zn) extends the high-grade core over a strike length of 175m and 170m plunge extent. The increasing copper grade within BKR013 (including 1m @ 2.37% Cu) and associated ‘high-temperature’ pathfinder mineralisation also suggests that the current drilling may have only intersected the upper zinc-rich peripheries of a larger system at depth.

A primary growth fault is also identified to the immediate north of the high-grade VMS mineralisation at Breakers, with the interpreted (off-set) continuation of the target horizon currently untested past this structure.

Figure 3: Breakers Main Gossan oblique exploration long-section (northwest view, +/-40m).

At Breakers North, drill-holes BKR010 and BKR011 were drilled north-east along strike from high-grade mineralisation intersected within 2019 drill-hole BKR007 (8m @ 3.4% Zn, 0.3% Pb, and 6.5g/t Ag, including 1m @ 20.9% Zn, 1.8% Pb and 34.7 g/t Ag, see figure 2.

BKR010 intersected a discrete zone of disseminated sulphide mineralisation associated with strong silicasericite alteration and highly anomalous proximal VMS pathfinder elements including Ag, As, Ba, Cd, Co, In, Mo, Sb, Tl, Pb and Zn on the upper contact of the marker Chert horizon, including 2m @ 0.2% Zn. BKR011 intersected a thin felsic-chert unit with minor sulphide mineralisation at the target depth followed by a significant fault zone to end-of-hole. Geological interpretation at Breakers North indicates that several structural offsets are present, and these may have bifurcated the mineralised Marker Chert resulting in multiple potential target horizons.

Drill-holes from the exploration programme at Breakers will now serve as important platforms for deep Down-Hole Electromagnetic (DHEM) and Down-Hole Magnetometric Resistivity (DHMMR) surveys, with these scheduled to be completed in Q3 2021.

A single hole (SSR011) was also completed at the XA8 Prospect, designed to follow-up low-level Ni-Cr+/Co mineralisation associated with a layered mafic/ultramafic unit. SSR011 intersected only minor disseminated sulphide mineralisation with no significant intersections at the Mafic-Ultramafic contact, followed by a fault zone.

The Company also commenced a resource infill drilling programme, and a TSF geotechnical drilling programme at the Sulphur Springs Project. The resource infill programme comprises 21 holes that are designed to target lower-confidence areas of the Sulphur Springs Mineral Resource within the proposed open pit sell.

The objectives of this programme are to convert approximately 1.0 – 1.5Mt of early production Inferred Resources into an Indicated category as part of the Company’s de-risking strategy. Results from this drilling are also anticipated to provide additional data for metallurgical test work and a Resource/Reserve update.

A total of 25 RC pre-collars for a total of 1926 metres (including re-drills) were completed; diamond tails are expected to commence early Q3 2021.

A TSF geotechnical drilling programme was also completed to assess the near surface geotechnical and hydrological conditions through the re-design TSF location within the Sulphur Springs Project.

The company was also successful in securing a round 23 Western Australia Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) co-funded drilling grant for deep drilling at the Breakers Greenfields Prospect.

Whim Creek Project

The Whim Creek Joint Venture Project is located 115 km to the south west of Port Hedland and includes the Whim Creek, Mons Cupri, Salt Creek and Evelyn deposits within 18,100 ha of tenements over the highly prospective Whim Creek basin.

During the year, the company completed an exploration geophysical survey at the Evelyn Prospect. A ground-based Fixed Loop Electro Magnetic (FLTEM) survey was completed across an area located approximately 2km north of the Evelyn Deposit. The programme was designed to test a section of stratigraphy that was identified as being highly prospective based on its stratigraphic position and structural setting.

Despite its location immediately north of the Evelyn Deposit, this area has had only limited historical exploration. The survey successfully identified a moderate to strong ~300m long, discrete bedrock conductor at a depth of 150-200m (Figures x). The anomaly is interpreted to be hosted within the same mafic schist as the Evelyn Cu-Zn deposit, located approximately 2km to the south along strike.

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Review of Operations

Due to the geological setting of the anomaly, the Company considers it as a high-priority target for structurally controlled gold and or base-metal mineralisation. A follow-up survey is planned to be completed in Q3 2021 to expand the coverage; the company intends to drill-test these targets once exploration recommences at the Whim Creek Project in 2022 following the Pilbara wet season.

Environmental Regulation

The Group’s operations are subject to significant environmental regulation under Commonwealth and State legislation. The key regulatory bodies are the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) and the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS).

The Group submitted a number of reports and plans relating to the Sulphur Springs Project to regulatory authorities during the year, in compliance with statutory obligations and permitting processes.

The Whim Creek site is classified as ‘’possibly contaminated – investigation required’’ under the State contaminated site legislation on the basis of possible, localised groundwater and soil contamination arising from historical ore processing activities. The site is also the subject of an Environmental Protection Notice (EPN) issued to the Group in December 2019, requiring a range of actions to investigate the presence of contamination and mitigate the risk of future contamination. During the year Anax Metals Limited (Anax), manager of the Whim Creek Joint Venture, has reported good and timely progress in fulfilling the EPN requirements. The Group retains a 20% interest in the Whim Creek Joint Venture under the Earn in and Joint Venture Agreement.

The Board considers that the Group has adequate systems and resources in place for the assessment and management of environmental risks and fulfilment of its environmental obligations.

The directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of the premium paid in respect of the director’s and officers’ liability insurance contracts, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

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.

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 Audit (WA) Pty Ltd, and its network firms for 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. 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 non-executive 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.

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.

A list of subsidiaries is contained in Note 27 to the financial statements. All subsidiaries have a June financial yearend.

Loss of control

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling 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 when control is lost.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated.

  • (b) Adoption of New or Amended Accounting Standards

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

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

  • (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 Recognition

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

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.

Interest

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Other revenue

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

  • (e) Government grants

Government grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognised, unless the conditions for receiving the grant are met after the related expenses have been recognised. In this case, the grant is recognised when it becomes receivable.

(f) 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.

  • (g) Finance Income and Finance Costs

The Group’s finance income and finance costs include interest income, interest expense, unwinding of the discount on provisions. 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 creditimpaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.

  • (h) 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 FVTPL, 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

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost; FVOCI – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL.

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 FVTPL:

  • 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 FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

  • 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 in OCI. This election is made on an investment-byinvestment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Financial assets – Business model assessment

The Group assesses 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 FVTPL.

Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest.

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 compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.

Financial assets – Subsequent measurement and gains and losses

Financial assets at FVTPL These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses,
including any 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 liabilities – Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative, or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL 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.

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 derivative financial instruments.

(i) 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.

(j) 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. Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

2021 2020
Plant and equipment 3-30years 3-30years
Buildings 7-20years 7-20years
Furniture and Fittings 8-20years 8-20years

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

  • (k) Leases

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices.

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-ofuse asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property, plant, and equipment. In addition, the right-of use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurement of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

32

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; and

  • Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension, or termination option or if there is a revised insubstance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in “property, plant and equipment” and lease liabilities in “loans and borrowings” in the statement of financial position.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(l) 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.

  • (m) Impairment

Non-derivative financial assets

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 debtor 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).

33

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

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-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. Value in use, is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

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.

(n) Borrowings

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

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

  • (o) 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 sharebased payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

(p) 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.

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.

Payroll Tax Provision

A provision for payroll tax is recognised if 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.

Future payroll tax costs will be reviewed bi-annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the payroll tax provision at each reporting period. The initial estimate of payroll tax is recognised in Profit or Loss. Subsequent remeasurement of the provision for payroll tax is recognised in Profit or Loss.

  • (q) 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, and reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

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.

  • (r) 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.

  • (s) 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.

(t) 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.

  • (u) 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.

(v) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

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

- Coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Estimate of useful lives of assets

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on Taxation Ruling TR 2020/3 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(j).

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.

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.

Rehabilitation provision

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.

Share-based payment transactions – performance rights and options

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with Directors, Key Management Personnel, and employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments 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 MonteCarlo 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.

The fair values of options granted are calculated at the grant date using a Black Scholes option-pricing model.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of performance rights or 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.

Lease term

The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the consolidated entity's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.

Incremental borrowing rate

Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security, and economic environment.

Employee benefits provision

The liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

  • (w) New Accounting Standard for Application in Future Periods

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

The Company entered into a binding Loan Agreement for $2,000,000, Northern Star Resources Limited (“Northern Star”) in the financial year ending 30 June 2020. The loan is unsecured, with a twelve-month term and accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

The loan is repayable in cash or at Northern Star’s election by conversion to Venturex shares:

  • at the same issue price as any rights issue or placement conducted by Venturex before the loan has been repaid, or in the absence of a capital raising,

  • at an issue price equal to the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Venturex shares prior to the date on which notice of repayment is given.

In July 2020 the loan was partially repaid by converting $30,000 of the original loan into Venturex shares (545,454 shares issued).

In August 2020 the loan was partially repaid by converting $805,500 of the original loan into Venturex shares (14,645,454 shares issued). The interest on the original loan was repaid. Venturex extended the Loan Agreement for a period of six months and accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum.

Mine Rehabilitation

In accordance with State government legislative requirements, a provision for mine rehabilitation has been recognised in relation to the Group’s interest in the Whim Creek Mine. The provision has been offset by a receivable from Anax Metals Ltd recognising the contractual requirement to rehabilitate the site. (Refer Note 15)

The fair value of the mine rehabilitation model inputs used are as follows:

Inflation Rate – CPI

Note 23 - Fair Value of Unlisted Performance Rights and Options Granted

Unlisted Performance Rights

Unlisted Performance Rights with Market conditions

The fair value of performance rights granted with market conditions are calculated at the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model, taking into account the impact of the market condition. There are no performance rights with market conditions for the financial year 2021 or 2020.

Unlisted Performance Rights with Material Transactions conditions

The fair values of performance rights granted with a Material Transaction condition are calculated using the share price on the date of issue.

Unlisted Options

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 23 - Fair Value of Unlisted Performance Rights and Options Granted (continued)

There were no Options granted to Key Management Personnel or Consultants during the 2020 financial year.

A summary of unlisted performance rights and options granted and a summary of unlisted performance rights and options outstanding at the end of the year are detailed in Note 22.

Note 24 - Capital Commitments

Exploration expenditure commitments

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required to comply with the minimum expenditure obligations under the Mining Act. These obligations have been met, or the appropriate exemptions have been granted. The future obligations which are subject to renegotiation when an application for a mining lease is made and at other times are not provided for in the financial statements. Capital expenditure contracted for at the end of the reporting period but not recognised as liabilities is as follows:

- not later than 12 months
- between 12 months and 5 years
- greater than 5 years

The exploration expenditure commitments have decreased due to the Whim Creek Joint Venture and Venturex being free carried through to decision to mine.

Note 25 - Contingencies

The Group’s contingencies are as follows:

  • 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 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 Whim Creek Site being historically 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 an Environmental Protection Notice (EPN) regarding the operations of the Whim Creek Copper Project. The Company and Anax Metals Ltd (Anax) (manager of the Whim Creek Joint Venture) have entered into arrangements to investigate, control, and prevent any potential emissions from the site, in fulfilment of the EPN requirements. There is a potential cost in the future however it cannot be quantified at present.

The following contingent liability has been included in the Whim Creek Joint Venture. Anax have assumed all liability with the Aeris Contract detailed below, as per the JV agreement announcement on 21 July 2020.

  • The acquisition of Venturex Pilbara Pty Ltd on 1 February 2010, resulted in Venturex including 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.

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 25 – Contingencies (continued)

The following contingent liabilities have been included in the Whim Creek Joint Venture. As at 30 June 2021, Anax has assumed 80% of these contingent liabilities, as per the JV agreement announcement on 21 July 2020.

  • 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. The total value of minerals is to be calculated in accordance with the Mining Act and by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety to calculate the State Royalty.

  • As part of a Partial Surrender Agreement a royalty of 4% on net smelter return (Au and Ag) is payable for M47/443.

  • As part of a Sale and Option Agreement a royalty of 2.5% of net profit on production greater than 1mt of ore is payable for M47/323 & M 47/324.

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 26 - 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.

Guarantees Entered into by the Parent Entity in Relation to Debts of its Subsidiaries

The Parent Entity entered into a Deed of Cross Guarantee in relation to the debts of its subsidiaries during the year ended 30 June 2010 (refer to Note 31).

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Parent Entity has commitments in the form of Operating Leases in relation to Office Premises and Office Equipment (refer to Note 13).

The Parent Entity also has a contingent liability 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 30day 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 (refer to Note 25). This contingent liability has been included in the Whim Creek Joint Venture. Anax Metals Ltd (Anax) have assumed all liability with the Aeris Contract, as per the JV agreement announcement on 21 July 2020.

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 33 - Financial Instruments – Fair Values and Risk Management (continued)

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’s 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 $362,442 (2020: $6,600).

(c) (iii) Liquidity Risk

The Group is exposed to liquidity risk via its trade and other payables, borrowings, and lease liabilities. 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.

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 2021, 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 2021 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

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.

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.

Carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets

Key audit matter

At 30 June 2021 the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was disclosed in Note 14 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:

  • Whether the conditions for capitalisation are satisfied;

  • Which elements of exploration and evaluation expenditures qualify for recognition; and

  • Whether facts and circumstances indicate that the exploration and expenditure assets should be tested for impairment.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

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;

Accounting for share-based payments

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group issued options and performance rights to key management personnel, which have been accounted for as sharebased payments (refer to Note 22).

Refer to Note 1(v) of the financial report for a description of the significant estimates and judgements applied to these arrangements.

Share-based payments are a complex accounting area and due to the complex and judgemental estimates used in determining the fair value of the share-based payments, we consider the Group’s calculation of the share-based payment expense to be a key audit matter.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following:

  • Reviewing relevant supporting documentation to obtain an understanding of the contractual nature and terms and conditions of the sharebased payment arrangements;

  • Holding discussions with management to understand the share-based payment transactions in place;

  • Reviewing management’s determination of the fair value of the share-based payments granted, considering the appropriateness of the valuation models used and assessing the valuation inputs;

  • Involving our valuation specialists, to assess the reasonableness of management’s valuation method and inputs, including volatility;

  • Assessing the reasonableness of the share-based payment expense; and

  • Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in Note 1(v) and Note 22 of the Financial Report.
