Venturex Resources Limited 28 122 180 205

Interim Financial Report Period Ended 31 December 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Preparation

(a) Reporting Entity

The consolidated interim financial statements comprise Venturex Resources Limited (the “Group”) and its subsidiaries, Venturex Pilbara Pty Ltd, Venturex Sulphur Springs Pty Ltd, Jutt Resources Pty Ltd, Juranium Pty Ltd, and CMG Gold Ltd, (collectively the “Group Entity” or the “Group”). Venturex Resources Limited is a listed public Group domiciled in Australia.

(b) Basis of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 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).

This consolidated interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Venturex Resources Limited and its controlled entities. As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this interim financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020, together with any public announcements made during the half year.

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s 2020 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, except as outlined below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

(d) Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The significant accounting estimates and assumptions adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s 2020 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, other than those mentioned below.

Use of Estimates and Judgements

Share based payments - The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 9.

(e) New and amended standards adopted by the Group

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

(f) 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 half-year ended 31 December 2020. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 2. Operating Segments

The Board of Directors, which is the chief operating decision maker, has identified one reportable segment from a geographical prospective with the mineral exploration segments being the Australian segment.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 14. Contingent Liabilities

The Group’s contingencies that have changed during the reporting period are as follows:

The following contingent liability has been included in the Whim Creek Joint Venture. When ANX obtains an 80% interest, they will assume all liability with the Aeris Contract detailed below. As at 31 December 2020, there are no changes to this contingent liability as ANX has a 40% interest. Subsequent to the reporting period ANX has assumed 100% of this contingent liability, 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.

The following contingent liabilities have been included in the Whim Creek Joint Venture. As at 31 December 2020, ANX has assumed 40% of these contingent liabilities. Subsequent to the reporting period ANX 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 than1mt of ore is payable for M47/323 & M 47/324.

There have been no other changes in contingent liabilities since the last annual reporting period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Venturex Resources Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Venturex Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of 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 the audit of the annual 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 the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

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