Operations and financial review
OPERATIONS REPORT
Dynamic was listed on ASX on 16 January 2023. Dynamic’s strategy is to advance its portfolio of critical minerals projects through a systematic approach to exploration. During the period, the Group undertook exploration activities on its existing tenement holding and applied for prospective tenements in Western Australia which it will continue to explore.
The Company has had a successful first 6 months as a listed entity, commencing reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling almost immediately at the Dordie Far West (“DFW”) prospect at Widgiemooltha (refer to ASX Announcement 31 January 2023) before moving on to the aircore (“AC”) program at Lake Percy (refer to ASX Announcement 10 March 2023) (Figure 1). Three further drill campaigns were completed across Widgiemooltha for a total of 9,552m of drilling. A summary of field activities for the year can be found in Table 1 Table 1. Annual Field Activity Summary with a project location map for reference in Figure 1.

WIDGIEMOOLTHA PROJECT
The Widgiemooltha Project is located approximately 550km east of Perth and centred 100km south of Kalgoorlie (Figure 1) and covers an area of 848.8km[2] . The project lies within a known corridor of world class komatiitic nickel sulphide deposits and orogenic gold deposits and historic exploration activities have been centred on these two commodities. More recently the project area has emerged as a significant lithium belt with three lithium-caesium-tantalum (“LCT”) pegmatite related mines developed in the past few years.
Dordie Far West Prospect
The Company commenced drilling at the DFW nickel prospect shortly after listing in January. DFW is located on the northwest margin of the Widgiemooltha dome on E15/1680, where anomalous nickel results were detected in RC drilling completed by Mincor Resources Limited (ASX: MCR) (“Mincor”) in the late 2000s (refer to Dynamic Metals disclosure in the IPO prospectus). After review of the historic data, a drill program was designed to test for Kambalda komatiite type massive sulphide mineralisation interpreted to occur where the base of the komatiite stratigraphy is in contact with the underlying basalt, known as the ‘basal contact’.
Five RC holes were drilled in the maiden program for a total of 736m at the prospect in February 2023, with drilling undertaken on four sections over a strike length of approximately 300m (Figure 2). Importantly, the thick widths and highgrade tenor intersected in Dynamic’s drilling compare favourably with the historic drilling, confirming and enhancing the potential for significant mineralisation along this trend.
Dynamic submitted 1m samples from the significant 3m composite intercepts to the laboratory for further assaying. Results from the 1m composites are summarised in Table 2.

The geological model for DFW was updated with the latest geochemistry results, and an additional 2 RC holes were drilled to the south-west to test for the extension of mineralisation into the fresh rock.
Higginsville, Mandilla and Sunday Soak Prospects
A rig and crew were engaged to complete an AC campaign at Widgiemooltha with 48 drill holes planned to test three prospects across the Project area (refer to ASX Announcement 16 June 2023). A total of 2,099m was drilled with a breakdown of the completed drill programs summarised in Table 3. By year end all samples had been dispatched to the laboratory in Kalgoorlie for assaying.

Highly prospective exploration tenure granted
During the year, four Exploration Licences (“Els”) at the Widgiemooltha Project were granted (refer to ASX Announcement 31 May 2023). The four ELs cover an area of approximately 220 km[2] in a region richly endowed with numerous operating nickel, gold and lithium operations (Figure 4). Importantly, Dynamic holds 100% of the mineral interests for all commodities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
DYNAMIC METALS LIMITED
Previous exploration activities were focussed on gold and nickel potential, so limited historical geochemical information on lithium and related elements exists for this tenement.
The Company intends to follow its systematic approach to exploration by first accessing the tenements to complete surface reconnaissance mapping and sampling. This will be followed by regional soil and auger programs to obtain appropriate geochemical data for target generation. Targets generated will be assessed and priority ranked for drill testing.

During the year, Exploration Licence 15/1753 was also granted. The tenement covers a geologically complex area dominated by a major regional structural fault (Republican Thrust) running northeast to southwest, with approximately 7km of highly prospective basal contact to explore. The Company has generated three nickel targets on this tenement and Programme of Work (POW) applications for drilling have been submitted to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS).
Additionally, E15/1624 and E15/1697, which were both granted in the June quarter, are adjacent to the Bluebush corridor that hosts the Cameron and Stockwell nickel deposits, held by Mincor.

LAKE PERCY PROJECT
The Lake Percy Project is located approximately 120km to the west of Norseman, along the Hyden-Norseman Road. The Company’s tenements are centred around the northern extension of the Lake Johnston greenstone belt, which hosts the Emily Ann and Maggie Hays nickel mines and the more recent Medcalf spodumene discovery by Charger Metals. The Project is near the Mt Day LCT pegmatite field 20km to the southeast, as well as the Earl Grey Lithium Project located approximately 60km to the west (currently under development by Covalent Lithium Pty Ltd, a joint venture between subsidiaries of Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile S.A and Wesfarmers Limited (ASX: WES)).
In March the Company announced commencement of a large AC program of 100 holes planned for up to 6,000m of drilling (refer to ASX Announcement 10 March 2023) (Figure 5).
==> picture [379 x 379] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5. Plan view of Lake Percy Project tenement E63/1981 with maximum nickel in historic drilling against planned first phase AC program (white). Target areas are identified by prefix “LP”
A total of 102 holes for 6,372m were completed using a combination of AC and RC on 5 identified targets (LP1, LP2, LP4, LP6, LP8). The purpose of the program was to obtain fresh rock samples for geochemical analysis and utilise the results to improve the geological understanding and refine Dynamic’s nickel sulphide targeting across the ~10km strike extent of the western ultramafic unit.
The results of the drill program have inferred a fertile nickel sulphide system at LP1 and LP2 which the Company believes warrants further drill testing. Additionally, multiple pegmatites were intersected during the drilling which the Company will integrate with its existing pegmatite dataset for the Lake Percy area and plan further exploration.

LP1 Target
Drilling at the previously untested LP1 target has defined an approximately 600m long anomalous trend, defined by significant nickel assays and accompany results indicative of a fertile nickel sulphide system, between the northern most and third northern most drill lines (Figure 7). The anomalous trend remains open to the north. The results from DYR032 (16m @ 1.11% Ni and 645ppm Cu from 32m downhole) are particularly encouraging due to the grade and thickness of the nickel mineralisation and the anomalous copper (Figure 8). These significant results were from the weathering profile and Dynamic has interpreted the returned geochemistry to be a nickel gossan, the fresh rock extension of which was not intersected in drilling due to a pegmatite intrusion at the bottom of the hole.

LP 2 Target
Significant nickel results were also received at the LP2 target which was defined by a 1.6km magnetic feature that is interpreted to be structurally separate from LP1 to the north. The LP2 area has been subject to historic rotary air blast (“RAB”), open hole percussion, RC and diamond drilling by previous explorers with high MgO results confirming the presence of ultramafic stratigraphy.
Drilling at LP2 intersected further encouraging indications of a fertile nickel sulphide system exemplified by the fresh rock bottom hole ultramafic geology and geochemistry of drill hole DYR065, which returned 0.35% Ni, 236ppm Cu and 38% MgO with a Ni:Cr ratio of 2.3 (Figure 9). Additionally, drill holes DYR062, DYR063 and DYR064, drilled on the same line as DYR064, returned a fresh rock Ni:Cr ratio of ~5 which is a strong indicator of nickel sulphide fertility. Further drilling is required to understand the potential of the ultramafic unit to host nickel sulphides.

Lake Percy Lithium Potential
During the year the Company completed first pass field mapping at Lake Percy to assess the project’s broader lithium prospectivity, with initial findings of limited outcrops in the area. A total of 27 rock chip samples of pegmatites and granites were taken for further analysis.
In addition, multiple intersections of pegmatites were encountered in the drill program, supporting observations in the field. Whilst several anomalous lithium assays greater than 300ppm were received, the geometry and zonation of these pegmatites will require significant follow up analysis and interpretation.
DEEP WELL PROJECT
The Deep Well Project is located approximately 30km east to southeast of Meekatharra and is a joint venture between M61 Holdings Pty Ltd (M61) and Dynamic. The project area covers the southern extension of the Gnaweeda Greenstone Belt which lies along the north-eastern most boundary of the Archaean Murchison Domain with the Southern Cross Domain part of the Youanmi Terrane within the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia.
Dynamic plans to follow up on newly identified and untested nickel sulphide gossans outcropping along a 6km strike along the interpreted greenstone (Figure 10). During the year the focus for Deep Well has been on progressing land access requirements in preparation for exploration activities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
DYNAMIC METALS LIMITED
(b) Remuneration governance and use of remuneration consultants
The Group has a Remuneration Policy however has not established a separate Remuneration Committee. Due to the early stage of development and small size of the Group a separate Remuneration Committee was not considered to add any efficiency to the process of determining the levels of remuneration for directors and key executives. The Board considers that it is more appropriate to set aside time at a Board meeting each year to specifically address matters that would ordinarily fall to a remuneration committee such as reviewing remuneration, recruitment, retention and termination procedures and evaluating senior executives’ remuneration packages and incentives. A copy of the Remuneration Policy can be found on the Group’s website www.dynamicmetals.com.au
In addition, all matters of remuneration will continue to be in accordance with the Corporations Act requirement, especially with regard to related party transactions. That is, none of the directors participate in any deliberations regarding their own remuneration or related issues.
Independent external advice is sought from remuneration consultants when required, however no advice has been sought during the year ended 30 June 2023.
The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the Group’s remuneration governance. Further details on the Corporate Governance Statement can be found on the Group’s website www.dynamicmetals.com.au
(c) Executive remuneration policy and framework
In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:
-
Competitive and reasonable, enabling the Group to attract and retain key talent
-
Aligned to the Group’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value
-
Transparent and easily understood, and
-
Acceptable to shareholders.
All executives receive consulting fees or a salary in addition to superannuation, and from time to time, grants of options. Options issued to Directors are subject to approval by Shareholders. The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the executive’s performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
Board members are allocated superannuation guarantee contributions as required by law, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.
All remuneration paid to directors and specified executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.
(d) Relationship between remuneration and the Group’s performance
The terms and conditions for the executive director were developed and approved by the Board and are considered appropriate for the current exploration phase of the Group’s development. Emoluments of Directors are set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size and industry, and by reference to the skills and experience of directors. Fees paid to directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. This policy may change once the exploration phase is complete and the Group is generating revenue. At present the existing remuneration policy is not impacted by the Group’s performance including earnings and changes in shareholder wealth (dividends, changes in share price or returns of capital to shareholders). The Board has not set short term performance indicators, such as movements in the Group’s share price, for the determination of director emoluments as the Board believes this may encourage performance which is not in the long-term interests of the Group and its shareholders. The Board has structured its remuneration arrangements in such a way it believes is in the best interests of building shareholder wealth in the longer term. The Board believes participation in the Group’s Employee Share Option Plan motivates key management and executives with the long-term interests of shareholders.
The following table shows the share price and the market capitalisation of the Group at the end of each of the last financial period and year.

On appointment to the Board, all non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Group in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms including remuneration, relevant to the office of director.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at commercial market rates for comparable companies for their time, commitment and responsibilities.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and is currently set at $500,000 per annum.
Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. Non-executive directors’ remuneration may also include an incentive portion consisting of options, subject to approval by Shareholders.
(f) Voting and comments made at the Group’s Annual General Meeting
The Group listed during the year and has not yet had an Annual General Meeting. The Group did not therefore receive any specific feedback at an AGM neither throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

DYNAMIC METALS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
1. CORPORATION INFORMATION
These financial statements of Dynamic Metals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2023 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 21 September 2023.
The financial statements cover Dynamic Metals Limited and its controlled entities. Dynamic Metals Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
Unless otherwise stated, policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those of the previous year.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended 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.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 25.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Dynamic Metals Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2023 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Dynamic Metals Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group’.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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 to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
30
DYNAMIC METALS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the Group. Losses incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Dynamic Metals Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
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. Revenue in relation to joint venture agreements is recognised over the period the services are rendered.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a tr that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable p
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future
31
DYNAMIC METALS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
Dynamic Metals Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated Group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated Group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated Group has applied the 'separate taxpayer within Group' approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated Group.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated Group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated Group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated Group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
32
DYNAMIC METALS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the Group's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.
For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
Plant and equipment
3-8 years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.
Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
The Group’s policy with regards to exploration and evaluation expenditure, including the costs of acquiring licences and permits, is that such expenditure is capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Under this method exploration and evaluation expenditure is carried forward on the following basis:
-
i) Each area of interest is considered separately when deciding whether, and to what extent, to carry forward or write off exploration and evaluation costs.
-
ii) Exploration and evaluation expenditure related to an area of interest is carried forward provided that rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and that one of the following conditions is met:
-
such evaluation costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or
-
exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation costs accumulated in respect of each particular area of interest include only net direct expenditure.
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature, they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
34
DYNAMIC METALS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
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.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
35
DYNAMIC METALS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company.
(Loss)/Earnings per share
Basic (Loss)/earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the owners of Dynamic Metals Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
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 2023. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
2. 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.
37
DYNAMIC METALS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equitysettled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. Refer to note 16 for further information.
Deferred tax balances
Deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses are not recognised in the financial statements as management considers that it is currently not probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those tax losses. Management reviews on a regular basis the future profitability of the Group to consider if tax losses should be recognised and to ensure that any tax losses recognised will be utilised .
Fair value measurement hierarchy
The Group is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.
The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs. Refer to note 19 for further information.
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.

Dynamic Metals Limited has unrecognised deferred tax assets at year-end of $401,777 (2022: nil) representing unrecognised tax losses.
Dynamic Metals Limited has Group carried forward revenue tax losses of $1,887,355 as at 30 June 2023 and carried forward capital losses of $0.
Dynamic Metals Limited is considered a base rate entity for income tax purposes and is therefore subject to income tax at a rate of 30% (2022: 30%).
Net deferred tax assets have not been brought to account as it is not probable within the immediate future that tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. The Group’s ability to use losses in the future is subject to the Group satisfying the relevant tax authority’s criteria for using these losses.

19. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern.
In managing its capital, the Group’s primary objective is to ensure its continued ability to provide a consistent return for its equity shareholders. In order to achieve this object, the Group seeks to maintain a capital structure that balances risks and returns at an acceptable level and also to maintain a sufficient funding base to enable the Group to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs. In making decisions to adjust its capital structure to achieve these aims, either through new share issues, or sourcing of debt, the Group considers not only its short-term position but also its long-term operational and strategic objectives.
The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents (Note 5) and equity attributable to equity holders of the Group, comprising contributed equity (Note 14), reserves (Note 15) and retained earnings (accumulated losses).
(b) Significant Accounting Policies
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2 of the financial statements.

On 11 January 2023, the Group acquired HiTec Minerals Pty Ltd (“HiTec”). HiTec held cash, a 30% interest in Prospect Ridge and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (shares held in GWR).
The acquisition of HiTec has been treated as an asset acquisition. This was on the basis that the transaction failed the substantive process test within AASB 3 Business Combinations. The cost of the acquisition has therefore been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired.
The cost of the acquisition was attributed to the following assets and liabilities:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF DYNAMIC METALS LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Dynamic Metals Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, 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 statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion:
-
a. the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
-
b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2.
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 Consolidated Entity 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 (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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
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.

-
Data indicating that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration asset is unlikely to be recorded in full from successful development or sale; and
-
We also assessed the appropriateness of the related disclosures in note 7 to the financial statements.
==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Consolidated Entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Consolidated Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Consolidated Entity’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Consolidated Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Consolidated Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Consolidated Entity audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2023. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Auditor’s Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Dynamic Metals Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2023, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
