REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The operating loss after income tax of the Group for the half year was $6,526,596 (31 December 2019: $1,931,823), which includes exploration and evaluation costs of $3,341,412 (31 December 2019: $1,110,775) and a fair value loss on convertible notes of $2,224,299 (31 December 2019: $nil).
As at 31 December 2020, the Group had cash assets of $2,352,201 (30 June 2020: $507,750).
During the reporting period, a surface diamond drilling program commenced targeting high grade extensions to existing mineralisation with a total of 14 holes being drilled which returned promising results. A maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate was completed during the period.
Activities of a corporate nature included capital raising activities which raised $4.5 million (before costs), with the funds being used towards the drilling program at the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
During the reporting period, the Company raised $4.5 million (before costs) from the following placements to institutional and professional investors:
-
23,076,923 ordinary shares issued at $0.13 per share, raising a total of $3.0 million (before costs)
-
5,000,000 ordinary shares issued at $0.30 per share, raising a total of $1.5 million (before costs)
In addition, the Company received a further $1.35 million from the exercise of 4,500,000 unlisted options by Silver Mountain Nominee Pty Ltd.
Global drilling company, Boart Longyear Limited, commenced a maiden surface diamond drilling program at the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine in September 2020.
Other than the matters above, there were no significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs during the half year.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORTING DATE
Subsequent to the reporting period, drilling continued at Oracle Ridge with some significant assay results being returned. Strong copper intercepts demonstrate the potential for future expansion of the mineral resources estimate. In addition, the Company engaged a world-renowned skarn expert to assist with exploration activities at Oracle Ridge.
During February 2021, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from sophisticated, institutional and professional investors to raise $11 million (before costs) through the issue of 31,428,571 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.35 per share. In addition, the Company received a total of $2.1 million from the exercise of unlisted options by the Directors and their associates and other parties.
The Company appointed Mr Manuel Ramos, effective 24 February 2021, as Chief Executive Officer of whollyowned US subsidiary, Silver Mountain Mining Operations Inc, the operator of the Oracle Ridge Copper Project. Mr Ramos has extensive experience in the Arizona copper industry and a key objective for him will be to take the Oracle Ridge Project from exploration through to feasibility and potentially operations.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing. The situation is dependent on measures imposed by the governments of Australia, the United States and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. It is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date.
Other than as stated above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the reporting 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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Half Year Ended 31 December 2020
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 2020 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 2020 annual financial statements unless otherwise stated.
The half year financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 8 March 2021.
Going concern basis for the preparation of financial statements
The Group has incurred a loss after income tax of $6,526,596 and a net operating cash outflow of $3,529,573 during the half year ended 31 December 2020. 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.
During the reporting period, the Group successfully raised $4.5 million (before costs) pursuant to placements to institutional and sophisticated investors. A further $1.35 million was received on the exercise of options. Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the Group raised a further $11 million (before costs) from a capital raising.
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.
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 by the Group for the reporting period ended 31 December 2020.
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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Half Year Ended 31 December 2020
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 2020 are still valid for this half year reporting period. In addition, the following key judgements, estimates and assumptions apply to this reporting period:
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. At each reporting period, the fair value of the embedded derivative liability component of the secured note is derived and a number of assumptions have been made at the reporting date. 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 the 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 2020 or the year ended 30 June 2020.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Half Year Ended 31 December 2020
NOTE 9 BORROWINGS (continued)
3 The Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with a Director-related entity, Quartz Mountain Mining Pty Ltd (Quartz) as trustee for the Bass Family Trust. The principal of US$1,000,000 attracts interest at 2% per annum with the first three months being interest free. The loan was deferred from 27 October 2020 to 31 December 2021. During the reporting period, shareholders approved the issue of 950,000 options to Quartz as satisfaction of interest owing to 31 December 2021 (see note 10). The balance outstanding in borrowings at balance date represents the principal of US$1,000,000 translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.
4 In November 2019, the Group acquired an 80% interest in the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine in Arizona in the United States of America. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Wedgetail Operations LLC, a subsidiary in which the Company has an 80% interest, entered into a US$6,423,000 secured loan with Vincere Resource Holdings LLC. The loan is secured over all of the assets of Wedgetail Operations LLC, has a ten year term and accrues interest at 3.15% per annum for the first five years with no interest accruing thereafter.
Under the terms of the agreement, the lender has the right to convert up to US$1,000,000 of the secured loan into ordinary shares of the Company upon each of the following three conversion trigger events:
-
i. The completion of a preliminary feasibility study;
-
ii. A commitment is made to proceed with a bankable feasibility study; and
-
iii. A commitment is made to commission the financing of the project as evidenced by a feasibility study sufficient to obtain third party financing.
The terms of the agreement prevent the issue of ordinary shares to the lender where the cumulative number 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 of the Company’s shares for the 30 days immediately after the date of public announcement of the applicable conversion trigger event.
On initial recognition, 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. Subsequently, the derivative liability component is revalued at each reporting date over the life of the secured loan. The debt liability component of the secured loan is amortised at each reporting period using the effective interest method. Interest capitalised on the debt liability is approximately US$103,000 for the six months to 31 December 2020.
Fair Value Measurement
The derivative liability component of the US$6,423,000 loan is measured or disclosed 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 the category in which the asset or liability is placed can be subjective.
The derivative liability has been categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and the fair value at the end of the reporting period was A$3,098,120.
There were no transfers between levels during the reporting period.
An independent valuation of the derivative liability has been undertaken at 31 December 2020 using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:
| Assumptions | Conversion Event 1 | Conversion Event 2 | Conversion Event 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valuation date | 31 December 2020 | 31 December 2020 | 31 December 2020 |
| Spotprice(A$) 1 | $0.455 | $0.455 | $0.455 |
| Exerciseprice2 | 0.365 | 0.367 | 0.368 |
| Risk free rate | 0.10% | 0.10% | 0.10% |
| Expected future volatility | 100% | 100% | 100% |
| Expirydate3 | 25 November 2022 | 25 November 2023 | 25 November 2024 |
1 The last traded price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 31 December 2020.
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.

NOTE 9 BORROWINGS (continued)
3 The expiry date is the estimated date on which the conversion right will be exercised for each tranche of conversion rights. The expiry date is reviewed at each reporting date.
Based on the above assumptions, the revaluation of the derivative liability resulted in a fair value loss of A$2,224,299 which has been recognised in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
In relation to the restriction of conversion rights up to 10% of the ordinary shares on issue, the valuation is based on the number of shares on issue at the valuation date.
| 31 December 2020 A$ 30 June 2020 A$ |
|
|---|---|
| 1,134,644 - - 1,365,785 2,224,299 (268,872) (260,823) 37,731 |
|
| 3,098,120 1,134,644 |
Unobservable inputs for fair value measurement
In determining the fair value measurement of the derivative liability, certain observable inputs including the share price and exercise price of the conversion rights are used, together with unobservable inputs.
The unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the derivative liability are deemed to be:
-
Issued capital – as the conversion rights are restricted to not more than 10% of the ordinary shares on issue, any increase in issued shares may impact the number of conversion rights that can be exercised; and
-
Timing of the three milestones to be achieved (conversion trigger events).
The Level 3 unobservable inputs and sensitivity are as follows:
| Unobservable Input | Change in input | Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|
| Shares on Issue | +15% | A 15% increase in share capital has no impact on the fair value as the number of shares to be issued upon the exercise of the conversion rights remains unchanged. |
| Date of conversion trigger event |
+1 year | An increase of 1 year in achieving the first and subsequent milestones will result in an increase in fair value of approximately $319,650. |
5 During the reporting period, Wedgetail Operations LLC obtained an amended Aquifer Protection Permit from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”). Vincere Resource Holdings LLC (“Vincere”) provided US$104,574 to satisfy ADEQ financial assurance requirements for the permit. The loan with Vincere is unsecured, interest free and is repayable on 28 November 2022.

NOTE 13 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the reporting period, drilling continued at Oracle Ridge with some significant assay results being returned. Strong copper intercepts demonstrate the potential for future expansion of the mineral resources estimate. In addition, the Company engaged a world-renowned skarn expert to assist with exploration activities at Oracle Ridge.
During February 2021, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from sophisticated, institutional and professional investors to raise $11 million (before costs) through the issue of 31,428,571 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.35 per share. In addition, the Company received a total of $2.1 million from the exercise of unlisted options by the Directors and their associates and other parties.
The Company appointed Mr Manuel Ramos, effective 24 February 2021, as Chief Executive Officer of wholly-owned US subsidiary, Silver Mountain Mining Operations Inc, the operator of the Oracle Ridge Copper Project. Mr Ramos has extensive experience in the Arizona copper industry and a key objective for him will be to take the Oracle Ridge Project from exploration through to feasibility and potentially operations.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing. The situation is dependent on measures imposed by the governments of Australia, the United States and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. It is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date.
Other than as stated above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the reporting 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.

Eagle Mountain Mining Limited
Independent auditor’s review report
Report on the Review of the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of 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 group), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, 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 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 2020 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 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Responsibility of Management for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 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 .
Independent auditor’s review report to members (cont.)
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.
