REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The operating loss after income tax of the Group for the half year was $1,931,823 (31 December 2018: $3,538,989), which includes exploration and evaluation costs of $1,110,775 (31 December 2018: $3,216,072).
As at 31 December 2019 the Group had cash assets of $854,730 (30 June 2019: $1,879,883).
Activities for the period have been focussed on a review of the initial exploration program completed on the Group’s Silver Mountain Project in Arizona and on due diligence and the subsequent acquisition of the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine which was completed on 28 November 2019.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
During the period the Group acquired a controlling interest in the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine. The mine and its assets are held 100% within Wedgetail Operations LLC (“WTO”), which in turn is held 80% by Wedgetail Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle Mountain. The remaining 20% is held by Vincere Resource Holdings LLC (“Vincere”). The consideration paid consisted of an upfront cash payment of US$500,000, the issue to Vincere of a US$6,423,000 10 year secured note and the issue of a 20% interest in the issued capital of WTO.
Other than the matter above, there were no significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs during the half year.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORTING DATE
Other than as listed below, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial period and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, to affect substantially the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.
- On 15 January 2020, Mr Tim Mason was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Half Year Ended 31 December 2019
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF YEAR REPORT
Statement of compliance
The half year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting (“AASB 134”). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting . The half year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the 30 June 2019 annual financial statements and any public announcements made by the Group during the half year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 .
The Group is a for profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
These accounting policies are consistent with those previously disclosed in the 30 June 2019 annual financial statements unless otherwise stated.
The half year financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 12[th] March 2020.
Going concern basis for the preparation of financial statements
The Group has incurred a loss after income tax of $1,931,823 and a net operating cash outflow of $1,700,708 during the half year ended 31 December 2019. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
In January 2020, the Group successfully raised $1.8 million (before costs) pursuant to a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors. The ability of the Group to continue to adopt the going concern assumption will depend on future successful capital raisings, the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group’s mining licences and permits, and/or sale of non-core assets.
The Directors will continue to manage the Group’s activities with due regard to current and future funding requirements. The Directors reasonably expect that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital to fund the Group’s exploration and working capital requirements, and that the Group will be able to settle debts as and when they become due and payable. On this basis, the Directors are therefore of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis is appropriate in the circumstances.
Should the Company be unable to raise additional funding when required, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it will be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Adoption 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.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:
AASB 16 Leases
The Group has adopted AASB 16 with effect from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease,
Page 10
==> picture [98 x 41] intentionally omitted <==
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Half Year Ended 31 December 2019
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 improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal portion of the lease payments is separately disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases.
Reconciliation of operating lease commitments
AASB 16 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such the comparatives have not been restated.
Below is a reconciliation of total operating lease commitments as at 30 June 2019, as disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019, and the lease liabilities recognised on 1 July 2019.

|---|---|
| 322,131 |
New accounting policies
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019. The accounting policies described below were adopted for the first time during this reporting period:
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.
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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Half Year Ended 31 December 2019
Convertible Note – Debt Liability
The liability component of a convertible note is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The embedded derivative component is recognised initially at fair value and the debt liability component is calculated as the difference between the financial instrument as a whole and the value of the derivative liability at inception. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the convertible note debt liability and convertible note derivative liability in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the debt liability component of the convertible note is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Convertible Note – Derivative Liability
Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. The fair value of the derivative has been valued using a valuation technique, including inputs that include reference to similar instruments and option pricing models, which is updated each period. Gains and losses arising out of changes in fair value of these instruments together with settlements in the period are accounted for through the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income through net finance costs. The convertible note liability and derivative are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligations specified in the contract are discharged, cancelled or expired.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”) 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.
Principles of consolidation
The financial statements of subsidiary companies are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases. The financial statements of subsidiary companies are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
Inter-entity balances resulting from transactions with or between controlled entities are eliminated in full on consolidation. Investments in subsidiary companies are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of the Company.
NOTE 2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates, judgements and assumptions disclosed at 30 June 2019 are still valid for this half year reporting period. In addition, the following key judgements, estimates and assumptions apply to this reporting period:
Determination of lease term
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the Group becomes obliged to exercise (or not exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.
Determination of incremental borrowing rate
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, where possible recent third party financing received by the individual lessee is used as a starting point and adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received. If there was no recent third party financing agreement, a build-up approach is used that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for the lessee and any further relevant adjustments specific to the lease (such as term, country, currency and security).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Half Year Ended 31 December 2019
NOTE 2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)
Valuation of derivative liability
As part of the acquisition of the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine, a US$6,423,000 secured note was issued to Vincere Resource Holdings LLC. Up to US$3,000,000 of the secured note can be converted into shares of the Company upon the occurrence of various conversion trigger events at variable conversion prices. To derive the fair value of the embedded derivative liability component of the secured note, a number of assumptions have been made. These assumptions are outlined in note 9.
NOTE 3 SEGMENT INFORMATION
AASB 8 “Operating Segments” requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
The Group operates in one segment, being exploration for mineral resources. This is the basis on which internal reports are provided to the Directors for assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources within the Group.
Following the acquisition of Silver Mountain Mining Pty Ltd in December 2017, and the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine in November 2019, the Group operates in Australia and United States of America.
Information regarding the non-current assets by geographical location is reported below. No geographical location segment information is provided in relation to revenue and profit or loss for the half year ended 31 December 2019 or year ended 30 June 2019.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Half Year Ended 31 December 2019
NOTE 9 BORROWINGS (continued)
The terms of the agreement prevent the issue of ordinary shares to the lender where the cumulative amount of shares held as a result of exercising the conversion rights would exceed 10% of the Company’s ordinary shares on issue.
The conversion price of each conversion right held by the lender is an amount equal to a 20% discount to the 30 day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s shares for the 30 days immediately after the date of public announcement of the applicable conversion trigger event.
The face value of US$6,423,000 is deemed to comprise of the value of the derivative liability (or conversion right), with the residual being the debt liability component. The debt liability component of the secured loan is amortised at each reporting period using the effective interest method. The derivative liability component is revalued at each reporting date over the life of the secured loan.
An independent valuation of the derivative liability has been undertaken at 31 December 2019 using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:
| Assumptions | Conversion Event 1 | Conversion Event 2 | Conversion Event 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valuation date | 31 December 2019 | 31 December 2019 | 31 December 2019 |

1 The share price of an EM2 share traded on the ASX to market close on 30 December 2019, the day immediately preceding the valuation date.
2 Exercise price is equal to a 20% discount to the estimated volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares for the 30 days immediately after the public announcement of the applicable conversion trigger event.
3 The expiry date is the estimated date on which the conversion right will be exercised, for each tranche of conversion rights and is estimated from the date of the agreement.
In relation to the restriction of conversion rights up to 10% of the ordinary shares on issue, the valuation is based on the number of shares on issue at valuation date.

Common control reserve
The amount recognised in the common control reserve represents the excess in fair value consideration given over the net assets acquired on the acquisition of Silver Mountain Mining Pty Ltd from Silver Mountain Mining Nominee Pty Ltd on 7 December 2017.
On 7 December 2017 the Directors determined that the acquisition was undertaken between entities which were under common control due to respective share ownership.
NOTE 13 ACQUISITION OF ORACLE RIDGE COPPER MINE
In November 2019, the purchase of the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine in Arizona in the United States of America was completed. The mine is held 100% within Wedgetail Operations LLC, which in turn is held 80% by Wedgetail Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The non-controlling interest of 20% is held by Vincere Resource Holdings LLC. Management have accounted for this transaction as an acquisition of assets and not as a business combination since, at the date of acquisition, the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine did not have the processes and outputs expected of an operating business.
The material transaction events in relation to the purchase are as follows:
-
US$500,000 was paid by Eagle Mountain’s existing wholly owned Arizona subsidiary, Wedgetail Operations LLC (“WTO”) as the purchase price for all assets of Oracle Ridge Mining LLC (“ORM”) to the Receiver for the benefit of the sole secured creditor Vincere Resource Holdings LLC (“Vincere”);
-
Shares, comprising a 20% interest in WTO, were issued to Vincere;
-
WTO assumed a 10 year note with Vincere for US$6,423,000 which is secured over the assets of WTO;
-
The Company will free-carry Vincere for the first US$5,000,000 of relevant expenditure on the Oracle Ridge project;
-
WTO assumed all ORM’s leases, easements and access agreements with third parties; and
-
An Operating Agreement was signed which appoints the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Silver Mountain Mining Operations Inc as Operator of WTO.

Independent auditor’s review report to members
Report on the Review of the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (the company) and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year (the consolidated entity) on pages 6 to 20, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Eagle Mountain Mining Limited on pages 6 to 20 is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b) complying with Australian Accounting Standard 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,931,823 and a net operating cash outflow of $1,700,708 during the half-year ended 31 December 2019. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1 indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-Year Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review
Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor
Independent auditor’s review report to members (cont.)
of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
As the auditor of Eagle Mountain Mining Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
