DIRECTORS’ REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)
Short Term Incentive Payments
The Non-Executive Directors set annual Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) for Executive Directors. The KPIs are chosen to align the reward of the individual Executives to the strategy and performance of the Company.
Performance objectives, which may be financial or non-financial, or a combination of both, are weighted when calculating the maximum short term incentives payable to Executives. At the end of the year, the Non-Executive Directors will assess the actual performance of the Executives against the set Performance Objectives. The maximum amount of the Short Term Incentive, or a lesser amount depending on actual performance achieved is paid to the Executives as a cash payment.
No Short Term incentives are payable to Executives where it is considered that the actual performance has fallen below the minimum requirement.
Shareholding Qualifications
The Directors are not required to hold any shares in Eagle Mountain under the terms of the Company’s Constitution.
Group Performance
In considering the Company’s performance, the Board will provide the following indices in respect of the current financial period:
| 2018 | |
|---|---|
| Loss for the period attributable to shareholders | $(1,681,900) |
| Closing share price at 30 June | $0.42 |
As an exploration entity the Board does not consider the loss attributable to shareholders as one of the performance indicators when implementing Short Term Incentive Payments.
In addition to technical exploration success, the Board considers the effective management of safety, environmental and operational matters and successful management, acquisition and consolidation of high quality landholdings, as more appropriate indicators of management performance for the financial period.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Period Ended 30 June 2018
These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Eagle Mountain Mining Limited and its controlled entities (the “Group”). Eagle Mountain Mining Limited is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The financial statements for the period from 6 September 2017 to 30 June 2018 were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 August 2018.
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements for the reporting period ended 30 June 2018 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical cost and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
(i) Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
(ii) Basis of Consolidation
The financial information comprises the financial information of Eagle Mountain and entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by Eagle Mountain (its subsidiaries).
Control is achieved when Eagle Mountain:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
Eagle Mountain reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
The financial information of subsidiaries is prepared for the same reporting period as Eagle Mountain, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of Eagle Mountain and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date Eagle Mountain gains control until the date when Eagle Mountain ceases to control the subsidiary.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between:
-
The aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest; and
-
The previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-
-
controlling interests.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Period Ended 30 June 2018
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(ii) Basis of Consolidation (Continued)
All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit and loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by the applicable Accounting Standards). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under AASB 139, or when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
(iii) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
Application of new and revised Accounting Standards
The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group during the financial period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
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 reporting period ended 30 June 2018.
The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations most relevant to the Group are set out below:
A ASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-fortrading) in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity’s own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an ‘expected credit loss’ (“ECL”) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard introduces additional new disclosures.
The Group does not expect any material impact from the ultimate adoption of AASB 9.
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 ”Leases” and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a ”right-of-use” asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a ”right-of-use” asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Period Ended 30 June 2018
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted (Continued)
Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019. Management has reviewed the impact and recognises there will be a material change in relation to the accounting treatment for its office leases. Whilst this will result in recognising both an asset and liability, it will not materially impact the overall net asset position, nor will it affect any financial covenants for financiers (for which there presently are none).
(b) Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is generally written off in the year incurred, except for acquisition of exploration properties which is capitalised and carried forward.
When production commences, any accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest which have been capitalised and carried forward will be amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable resources. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to the area of interest. The carrying value of any capitalised expenditure is assessed by the Directors each reporting period to determine if any provision should be made for the impairment of the carrying value. The appropriateness of the Group’s ability to recover these capitalised costs has been assessed at the end of each reporting period and the Directors are satisfied that the value is recoverable.
The carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment at an overall level whenever facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the assets may exceed recoverable amount. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount. The assets are then written down to their recoverable amount. Any impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
(c) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables to be settled within 60 days are carried at amounts due. The collectability of debts is assessed at the end of the reporting period based on the length of time a debt has been outstanding, the past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, and a specific provision is made for any doubtful accounts.
(d) Interest Income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues.
(e) Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the Group which is Australian dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

For the Period Ended 30 June 2018
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(f) Operating Segments
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start up operations which are yet to earn revenues. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors, taken as a whole. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors.
Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the Board of Directors.
(g) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments in the scope of AASB 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial instruments are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transactions costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial instruments after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial period end.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date being the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
(i) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
(iii) Impairment
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.
(iv) Derecognition
- Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(h) Borrowings
Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently carried at amortised cost.
(i) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Period Ended 30 June 2018
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(j) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from the other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generated unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years.
A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
(k) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment assets are initially recognised at acquisition cost or manufacturing cost, including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for the assets to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Group’s management.
Property, plant and equipment assets are subsequently measured using the cost model, cost less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised on a diminishing value basis to write down the cost less estimated residual value of the assets.
Leasehold improvements are capitalised and subsequently amortised over the term of the respective lease.
The following depreciation rates are applied to property, plant and equipment on the diminishing value basis:
-
Motor vehicles: 25%
-
Other property, plant and equipment: 20-50%
Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually.
Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in profit or loss within other income or other expenses.
(l) 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 (“ATO”). 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 to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Period Ended 30 June 2018
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(m) Taxation
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit and loss is the tax payable on the taxable income using applicable income tax rates enacted or substantially enacted as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial information. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
(n) Trade and Other Payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(o) Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of a past event, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
(p) Share Based Payment Transactions
The Group recognises the fair value of options granted to Directors, employees and consultants as remuneration as an expense on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Group in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity-settled transactions”). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees (including Directors) is measured by reference to fair value at the date they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model.
(q) Issued Capital
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
- (r) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
In preparing the financial information the Group has been required to make certain estimates and assumptions concerning future occurrences. There is an inherent risk that the resulting accounting estimates will not equate exactly with actual events and results.
(i) Significant accounting judgements
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Acquisition of Silver Mountain Mining Pty Ltd
On 7 December 2017 Eagle Mountain acquired a 100% interest in the issued capital of Silver Mountain, an entity which controls the Silver Mountain Project located in Arizona in the United States of America.
Eagle Mountain acquired the entire share capital of Silver Mountain from an entity associated with Mr Charles Bass. Mr Bass was a Director holding an interest in the entire shareholding of Eagle Mountain. As such, the Directors considered the acquisition to be a common control transaction. Accordingly, the excess in fair value of consideration given over the net assets acquired was allocated to a common control reserve.
(ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:
– Key Estimates Impairment of Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
– Key Estimates Share Based Payment Transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Fair values of share options are determined using the Black Scholes model. Should the assumptions used in these calculations differ, the amounts recognised could significantly change.
Key Estimates – Taxation
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on the best estimates of the Directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Group as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the Directors’ understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents the Directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the ATO.
Key Judgment – Environmental Issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation. At the current stage of the Group’s development and its current environmental impact the Directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.

For the Period Ended 30 June 2018
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(s) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly unforced transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (ie the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity's own equity instruments (excluding those related to share based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.
(t) Comparative Information
No comparative information has been included as the Company was incorporated on 6 September 2017.

21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group has exposure to a variety of risks arising from its use of financial instruments. This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to the specific risks, and the policies and processes for measuring and managing those risks. The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the risk management framework and has adopted a Risk Management Policy.
(a) 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 transactions with customers and investments.
Trade and other receivables
The nature of the business activity of the Group does not result in trading receivables. The receivables that the Group does experience through its normal course of business are short term and the most significant recurring by quantity is receivable from the Australian Taxation Office. The risk of non-recovery of receivables from this source is considered to be negligible.
Cash deposits
The Directors believe any risk associated with the use of predominantly one bank is addressed through the use of at least an A-rated bank as a primary banker. Except for this matter the Group currently has no significant concentrations of credit risk.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages its liquidity risk by monitoring its cash reserves and forecast spending. Management is cognisant of the future demands for liquid finance resources to finance the Company’s current and future operations, and consideration is given to the liquid assets available to the Company before commitment is made to future expenditure or investment.
Page 37
==> picture [98 x 41] intentionally omitted <==
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Period Ended 30 June 2018
21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as 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 any return.
Interest rate risk
The Group has significant cash assets which may be susceptible to fluctuations in changes in interest rates. Whilst the Group requires the cash assets to be sufficiently liquid to cover any planned or unforeseen future expenditure, which prevents the cash assets being committed to long term fixed interest arrangements, the Group does mitigate potential interest rate risk by entering into short to medium term fixed interest investments.
Equity risk
The Group has no direct exposure to equity risk.
Foreign exchange risk
The Group holds a significant amount of cash assets in US dollar denominated bank accounts and bank deposits. The Group is also significantly exposed to foreign exchange risk through transactions and arrangements in respect of its US based operations.
Other than the above, the Group does not have any direct contact with foreign exchange fluctuations other than their effect on the general economy.
The Group seeks to mitigate foreign exchange risk by considering capital requirements and foreign exchange rates when undertaking treasury transactions, such as utilising US dollar denominated term deposits.
22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Credit risk
The Directors do not consider that the Group’s financial assets are subject to anything more than a negligible level of credit risk, and as such no disclosures are made (refer note 21(a)).
Impairment losses
The Directors do not consider that any of the Group’s financial assets are subject to impairment at the reporting date. No impairment expense or reversal of impairment charge has occurred during the reporting period.
Interest rate risk
At the reporting date the interest profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

Independent auditor’s report to members
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group)), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, 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 period then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial performance for the period ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the 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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| CARRYING VALUE OF EXPLORATION COSTS - LAND | CARRYING VALUE OF EXPLORATION COSTS - LAND |
|---|---|
| Area of focus Refer also to notes 1(b) and 8 |
How our audit addressed it |
| The Group has incurred exploration costs in relation to exploration activities for Copper and Gold in the surrounding area of the Bradshaw Mountains of Yavapai County of Arizona, USA. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is generally written off in the year incurred, except for acquisition of exploration properties which is capitalised and carried forward. There is a risk that accounting criteria associated with the capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure - land may not be appropriate and that capitalised costs exceed the value in use. An impairment review is only required if an impairment trigger is identified. Due to the nature of the resources industry, indicators of impairment applying the value in use model could include: —Viability of the projects —Changes to exploration plans and permits —Loss of rights to tenements —Changes to reserve estimates —Costs of extraction and production |
Our audit procedures included: —A review of the directors’ assessment of the recognition criteria for the capitalisation of exploration expenditure. —Evaluation of whether there are any indicators of impairment to capitalised costs. —Assessing the viability of the 26 patented mining claims and 209 unpatented mining claims, capitalised as_Exploration and Evaluation_ Expenditure – Land, and whether there were any indicators of impairment to those costs capitalised at the reporting date. We assessed the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in respect of the transactions. |

Independent auditor’s report to members (cont’d.)
| SHARE BASED PAYMENTS | |
|---|---|
| Area of focus Refer also to notes 1(p) and 12 |
How our audit addressed it |
The Group has entered into a number of share-based payment arrangements during the period. These are outlined in note 12. The above arrangements required significant judgments and estimations by management, including the following: —The evaluation of the grant date of each arrangement, and the evaluation of the fair value of the underlying share price of the Company as at the grant date; —The evaluation of key inputs into the Black Scholes option pricing model, including the significant judgment of the forecast volatility of the share option over its exercise period. The results of these share-based payment arrangements materially affect the disclosures. |
Our audit procedures included: —Evaluating the fair values of share- based payment arrangements by understanding and documenting the assumptions used. In determining the grant dates, we evaluated what were the most appropriate dates based on the terms and conditions of the share- based payment arrangements. —For the specific application of the Black Scholes model, we assessed the competence of third party advisors in preparing these calculations. We retested some of the assumptions used in the model and recalculated those fair values using volatility applied in the model to be appropriately reasonable and within industry norms. We also reconciled the vesting of the share-based payment arrangements to disclosures made in both the key management personnel compensation note and the disclosures in the Remuneration Report. |
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the period ended 30 June 2018 but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
==> picture [190 x 24] intentionally omitted <==
Independent auditor’s report to members (cont’d.)
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 preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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 Group 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these financial statements is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
