Results of operations
The net loss of the Group for the half year to 30 June 2021 was $1,008,075 (2020: loss of $409,652). The loss for the half year arises primarily from corporate and marketing costs, administrative expenses incurred to support the Company’s exploration and development activities for its Cyclone and Galalar projects.

Galalar (Cape Bedford) Silica Project
During the half-year, the Company continued with its focus on advancing permitting & approvals process for its flagship Galalar Silica Project
Key highlights during the period in review include:
-
In March 2021, Diatreme announced a 30% increase in the project’s total Mineral Resource, to an estimated 61.9Mt.
-
On 8 April 2021, Diatreme announced it had engaged industry specialist Mineral Technologies (MT) to undertake final metallurgical testwork for the Galalar Silica Project’s definitive feasibility study (DFS). The objective is to develop a process flowsheet using the physical mineral separation processes of screening, gravity, attritioning, classification and magnetic separation to produce a high purity, low iron silica product with a target grade of 99.9% SiO2 and =<100ppm Fe2O3.
-
On 22 April 2021, Diatreme announced positive first phase results from the initial testwork. MT has completed the first two stages (screening and spirals) of metallurgical testwork on the one tonne bulk sample for the project’s DFS. The bulk sample was taken from air core drill holes across the first two -
-
years of the planned start up mine area.
-
On 19 May 2021, Diatreme announced the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for offtake from Galalar. The MOU with Jiangxi Kangjia New Material Technology Co., Ltd (Jiangxi Kangjia) concerns the supply of 250,000 tpa of photovoltaic grade (=<100ppm Fe2O3) silica product.
-
On 10 June 2021, Diatreme further advanced Galalar’s development with the lodging of a Mining Lease Application (Infrastructure) encompassing the associated Nob Point Barge Ramp (NPBR), Hopevale Community boat ramp and temporary stockpile area to facilitate the export of high purity silica sand.

Cyclone Zircon/Heavy Mineral (HM) Project
The Company continued to advance its discussions with potential project participants with the aim of maximising shareholder value from the Cyclone project.
Amid continued solid demand and constrained supply outlook for zircon, the Company has examined amongst various development options including the potential for project’s holding vehicle, Lost Sands Pty Ltd to be sold, joint ventured or annexed into a separately listed public company vehicle . These discussions are on-going and the Company is determined to advance these and extract value for shareholders.
Corporate
In February, Diatreme appointed globally experienced mining executive, Peter Brown, as Chief Operating Officer (COO) to further advance the Company’s key Galalar Silica Project and its other assets.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. REPORTING ENTITY
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (‘interim financial statements’) for the half year to 30 June 2021 comprise Diatreme Resources Limited (Diatreme or the Company) and the entities it controlled during or at the end of the half year ended 30 June 2021 (the Group).
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance
These interim financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting .
They do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these interim financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. These interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on 8 September 2021.
Judgements and Estimates
The accounting policies include the capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure which as at 30 June 2021 amounts to $22,163,028 (31 December 2020: $19,594,526). This represents a significant asset of the Group. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the relevant areas of interest. Where activities in these areas have not reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, these costs are carried forward if the tenements are active or significant operations in relation to these areas of interest are continuing.
Material uncertainty regarding going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the half-year ended 30 June 2021 of $1,008,075 and a net cash outflow from operations of $1,159,439. At 30 June 2021, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $102,387.
The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and pay its debts as and when they fall due, is dependent upon the successful future raising of necessary funding through equity, successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group’s tenements, securing product offtake agreements for the Galalar and Cyclone Project, and/or sale of non-core assets.
The reliance on securing additional capital through debt or equity gives rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the ordinary course of business
The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and cash flow forecasts and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will achieve the matters set out above. In addition, as detailed in Note 11, the lender has agreed to extend the maturity date of the $1.5 million debt facility from 30 November 2021 to 30 November 2022, and the Company completed a book build on 6 September 2021 to raise $10.0 million (before costs) via a Placement to strategic, sophisticated and professional investors.
Diatreme Resources Limited Financial Report for the half year ended 30 June 2021
10
Notes to the Financial Statements
Material uncertainty regarding going concern (continued)
As such, the Directors believe that they will continue to be successful in securing additional capital through debt or equity issues as and when the need to raise working capital arises.
Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
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. The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The application of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting does not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group currently operates in one business segment and one geographical segment, namely exploration for heavy mineral sands, copper, and base metals in Australia. The revenues and results of this segment are those of the Group as a whole and are set out in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
5. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

There are no contingent liabilities since the end of the previous annual reporting date.
10. COMMITMENTS
Tenement expenditure commitments
So as to maintain current rights to tenure of exploration tenements, the Group will be required to outlay amounts in respect of tenement rent to the relevant governing authorities and to meet certain annual exploration expenditure commitments. These outlays (exploration expenditure and rent), which arise in relation to granted tenements are as follows:
| Payable within 1 year Payable between one and five years |
30 Jun 2021 $ 31 Dec 2020 $ 283,473 1,867,063 73,640 1,291,822 |
|---|---|
| 2,150,536 1,365,462 |
The outlays may be varied from time to time, subject to approval of the relevant government departments, and may be relieved if a tenement is relinquished. At 30 June 2021 cash security bonds totalling $25,000 were held by the relevant governing authorities to ensure compliance with granted tenement conditions (Dec 2020: $7,500).

Diatreme Resources Limited Independent auditor’s review report Report on the Review of the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Diatreme Resources Limited (the company) and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half year (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising 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 half-year financial report of Diatreme Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and
-
b) complying with Australian Accounting Standard 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $1,008,075 during the half year ended 30 June 2021 and had net cash outflows from operations of $1,159,439. At 30 June 2021, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $102,387. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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 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 annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Responsibilities 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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibilities 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 Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 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.
