Likely Developments

The Group will continue to grow resources and reserves at the Company’s Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Project. The objective is to have Woodlawn operationally ready in eighteen months.

The Group will continue to advance the development of the Sulphur Springs Zinc-Copper Project and will continue exploration programs in the Pilbara, which may result in additional discoveries. The objective is to have Sulphur Springs shovel ready by the middle of the calendar year 2023.

Environmental Regulation

The Group is subject to significant environmental regulations of its operations, including exploration and mining activities.

The Whim Creek site is classified as ‘’possibly contaminated – investigation required’’ under State contaminated site legislation based on 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 Company 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 Project, has advised the effective completion of the EPN risk mitigation measures and has made applications for several development and operational permits. Develop retains a 20% interest in the Whim Creek Project under the joint venture agreement with Anax.

Develop Global Limited (formerly Venturex Resources Limited) and Group Entities

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Directors’ 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.

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 the 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 Audit (WA) Pty Ltd, and its network firms for non-audit services provided during the year are set out below.

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Remuneration Report

Audited Remuneration Report

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

Key Management Personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly.

The Key Management Personnel of the Group during the year included:

Directors – Current

Michael Blakiston Non-Executive Chair Bill Beament Managing Director Mick McMullen Non-Executive Director Shirley In’t Veld Non-Executive Director Michelle Woolhouse Non-Executive Director

Directors – Former Anthony Reilly Executive Director

Executives

Trevor Hart Company Secretary/CFO

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 market-competitive, 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.

B. Details of Remuneration

The Key Management Personnel of the Group are disclosed above.

Remuneration packages contain the following elements:

a) Short-term employee benefits - cash salary and fees, cash bonus, non-monetary benefits and other; b) Post-employment benefits - superannuation and termination, and other; c) Share-based payments – shares, options and performance rights granted.

Develop Global Limited (formerly Venturex Resources Limited) and Group Entities

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

Reporting Entity

The consolidated financial statements comprise Develop Global Limited (formerly Venturex Resources Limited) (“ Company ”) and its subsidiaries, (collectively the “ Group Entity ” or the “ Group ”). The Company is a listed public Company domiciled in Australia. The Company’s registered office is at 234 Railway Parade, West Leederville, Western Australia.

The Group is a for-profit entity and is involved in the exploration and development of base metals and mining services.

Basis of Accounting

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 29[th] September 2022.

Details of the Group’s accounting policies and changes to significant accounting policies are detailed 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.

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

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 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.

A list of subsidiaries is contained in Note 30 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 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 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

(i) Contract mining services

Contract mining services include contract underground mining. The performance obligation is fulfilled over time as the Group enhances mining assets which the customer controls and for which the Group has a right to payment for performance to date and as such revenue is recognised over time. Revenue is recognised monthly based on units of production at agreed contract rates that is aligned with the stand-alone selling prices for each performance obligation. The majority of the Group’s revenue is paid one month in arrears and therefore gives rise to an accrued revenue (contract liability, refer note 1(e)). The total transaction price for contract services may include variable consideration.

(ii) Equipment rental

Rental income is recognised on either a straight-line or machine hours basis over the term of the operating lease.

(iii) Labour hire

Labour hire revenue is recognised over time as services are rendered based predominantly on an hourly rate.

21

Develop Global Limited (formerly Venturex Resources Limited) and Group Entities

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

Other revenue

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

(e) Contract Liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier.) Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.

(f) 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 credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.

(g) Financial Instruments

Recognition and initial measurements

Trade receivables are initially recognised when they originate. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

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.

(h) Inventories

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 'first in first out' basis. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and other taxes, an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity, and, where applicable, transfers from cash flow hedging reserves in equity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

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

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:

2022 2021
Plant and equipment 3-30years 3-30years
Buildings 7-20years 7-20years
Furniture and Fittings 8-20years 8-20years

Develop Global Limited (formerly Venturex Resources Limited) and Group Entities

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(j) 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-of-use 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.

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 in-substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the rightof-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 shortterm leases. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(k) 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.

(l) Mine Properties

Mine properties in development

Mine properties in development represent the expenditure incurred when technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource have been demonstrated, and includes the costs incurred up until such time as the asset is capable of being operated in a manner intended by management. These costs are not amortised but the carrying value is assessed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount.

Mine properties in production

Mine properties in production represent the accumulation of all acquisition, exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group in relation to areas of interest in which mining of the mineral resource has commenced. When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of a mine property after the commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the cost of that mine property only when substantial future economic benefits are established, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production.

Amortisation is provided on a units-of-production basis, with separate calculations being made for each mineral resource. The units-of-production method results in an amortisation charge proportional to the depletion of the economically recoverable mineral resources (comprising proven and probable 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. An impairment exists when the carrying value of mine properties exceeds its estimated

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

recoverable amount. The asset is then written down to its recoverable amount and the impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

(m) Asset Acquisition

Where an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of an asset comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. Acquisition-related costs with regards to the acquisition are capitalised. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date.

(n) Impairment

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.

(o) 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.

(p) 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 trueup for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

(q) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

(r) 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.

==> picture [82 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

24

Develop Global Limited (formerly Venturex Resources Limited) and Group Entities

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

(s) 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.

(t) 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.

(u) 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.

(v) 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.

(w) 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.

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.

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 Government bond rate.

Develop Global Limited (formerly Venturex Resources Limited) and Group Entities

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 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.

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.

Share-based payment transactions – Contingent Consideration

The Group estimates contingent consideration based on the existence of a present obligation to settle in cash or shares at the date of acquisition. If the Group has a present obligation to settle in cash the contingent liability would be recognised as a liability that would be remeasured at each reporting period. If the Group does not have a present obligation to settle in cash, management can determine the most likely scenario of settling in either cash or shares. If the Group determines to settle in shares then the contingent consideration is measured at fair value, resulting in a credit to Share Based Payment Reserve.

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 Group's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The Group’s reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.

Incremental borrowing rate

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

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.

Asset Acquisition not Constituting a Business

When an asset acquisition does not constitute a business combination, the assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction and no deferred tax will arise in relation to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the initial recognition exemption for deferred tax under AASB 112 applies. No goodwill will arise on the acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition will be included in the capitalised cost of the asset. Estimates and judgements are required by the Group, taking into consideration all available information at the acquisition date, to assess the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed.

Ore Reserve and Resource Estimates

Economically recoverable ore reserves represent the estimated quantity of product in an area of interest that can be expected to be profitably extracted, processed and sold under current and foreseeable economic conditions. The Group prepares and reports ore reserves under the standards incorporated in the Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, 2012 edition (the JORC Code). The determination of ore reserves includes estimates and assumptions about a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including: quantities, grades, productions techniques, recovery rates, production costs, transport costs, commodity demand, commodity prices and exchange rates.

Changes in ore reserves impact the assessment of recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets, property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of assets depreciated on a units of production basis, provision for site restoration and the recognition of deferred tax assets, including tax losses.

Impairment of Mine Properties

Impairment testing of assets in the development or production phase.

The carrying amounts of assets in the development or production phase are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value-in-use (“VIU”) and its fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”). For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (“cash-generating unit”).

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each balance date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists and therefore should be reversed. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had initially been recognised. Impairment reversals are also recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

(x) 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 2022. They have not been adopted in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 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.

AASB reference

Title and Affected Standard

AASB 2021-2 (issued March 2021)

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates

Nature of Change Introduces a definition of ‘accounting estimate’, i.e. monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to estimation uncertainty, such as estimating expected credit losses for receivables, or estimating the fair value of an item recognised in the financial statements at fair value.

Accounting estimates are developed using measurement techniques and inputs. Measurement techniques comprise estimation techniques (such as used to determine expected credit losses or value in use) and valuation techniques (such as the income approach to determine fair value).

The amendments clarify that a change in an estimate occurs when there is either a change in a measurement technique or a change in an input.

Application Date

Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023

Impact on Initial Application There will be no impact on the financial statements when these amendments are first adopted because they apply prospectively to changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period to which these amendments apply, i.e. annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2023.

AASB reference AASB 2021-2 (issued March 2021) Title and Affected Standard Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates Nature of Change Only ‘material’ accounting policy information must be disclosed in the financial statements, i.e. if it relates to material transactions, other events or conditions and:

  • The entity has changed its accounting policy during the period

  • There are one or more accounting policy options in Accounting Standards

  • The accounting policy was developed applying the hierarchy in AASB 108 because there is no specific IFRS dealing with the transaction

  • Significant judgement was required in applying the accounting policy

  • The accounting is complex, e.g. more than one IFRS applies to the transaction.

Application Date Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 Impact on Initial Application Disclosure impact only.

Note 28 - Contingencies

The Group’s contingencies are as follows:

  • As part of the acquisition of Venturex Sulphur Springs Pty Ltd, Develop 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 Develop’s other Pilbara Operations) on international benchmark terms. On 19 March 2019, Develop 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. In addition, Develop 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 $3.67 million.

  • As part of the acquisition of the Kangaroo Caves and Panorama Tenements, Develop 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.

  • The Whim Creek Site has a long history of mining and processing activity. The site was classified as ‘possibly contaminated’ under the Contaminated Sites Act 2003 (CS Act) in 2010 and revised to ‘’possibly contaminated – investigation required’’ by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) in 2018. The classification is based on the presence of possible, localised groundwater and soil contamination, exacerbated by offsite water discharge following cyclonic rainfall in March 2019. On essentially the same underlying basis (potential groundwater contamination and pollution risk), DWER issued an Environmental Protection Notice (EPN) in December 2019, requiring a range of actions to investigate and record the presence of any contamination and mitigate the risk of any future contamination. All requirements of the EPN have been completed, are supported by third party consultant reports and evidenced with monitoring reports, where required. While classification of the site under the CS Act persists, there remains the potential for future cost, the quantum of which cannot be determined based on the current status.

  • A $9 million payment (paid off over 5 years) to Atlas Iron for Haul Road Construction subject to the commencement of construction at the Sulphur Springs Zinc-Copper Project.

  • A native title royalty (0.6% Net Smelter Revenue) at the Sulphur Springs Zinc-Copper Project.

  • 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 Develop 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 Develop or its related bodies corporate, within 100 kilometres of Whim Creek. Develop 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, Develop 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. 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, Develop 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 following contingent liabilities have been acquired upon the acquisition of Heron .

  • The Group has agreed with Veolia Environmental Services (Australia) Pty Ltd:

  • To assume the environmental liabilities associated with the Woodlawn site, excluding Veolia’s area of operation.

  • Subject to certain approvals being received by Veolia and the Group, the Group will receive “free-on board” compost from Veolia to be utilised in the rehabilitation of the Woodlawn project site.

  • To fully indemnify Veolia for all direct and or consequential loss and damage suffered by Veolia as a result of or caused by or contributed to by any act or omission or default by the Group, connected with its operations at the Woodlawn project site.

  • Native title claims have been made with respect to areas which include tenements in which the Group has interests. The Group is unable to determine the prospects for success or otherwise of the claims and, in any event, whether or not and to what extent the claims may significantly affect the Group or its projects.

  • The Nomad stream arrangement in respect of Woodlawn will remain in place, subject to the following changes, a secondary stream will be introduced in respect of tailings, under which Tarago Operations Pty Ltd will pay A$1.0 million for every 1Mt of tailings ore processed at a certain tenement at Woodlawn, capped at A$10 million.

The Group has made no provision in its account for these potential contingent liabilities.

(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 it trade and other receivables below. Trade and other receivables disclosed below have been impaired by Nil (2021: $362,442).

The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.

(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 remaining contractual maturities.

(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:
