Directors’ Report (cont’d)

9. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The Company holds or is applicant for tenements in the Northern Territory and Queensland covering prospects for uranium and manganese minerals with a combined area of approximately 10,900sqkm.

Further geological and geophysical surveys in the Mary Valley manganese project tenements in south-east Queensland have defined areas containing substantial deposits of high grade and probably DSO (direct shipping ore) manganese mineralisation. Drilling programmes are now planned to determine resource potential and to obtain sub-surface samples for metallurgical test-work.

In the Northern Territory, Eclipse is planning a field programme to evaluate potential for uranium mineralisation in the Bigrlyi exploration licence. In the joint venture cum farm-in on the Devil’s Elbow EL, Rio Tinto is pursuing an arrangement with the Northern Land Council (NLC) for a site anthropological survey to determine consent and non-consent areas by Traditional Owners.

NORTHERN TERRITORY

Devil’s Elbow- Rio Tinto Farm-in / JV, ELA 27584 (Figure 1.)

During the financial year the Company executed a Farm-In / Joint Venture Agreement ( the Agreement ) with Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Ltd ( Rio Tinto ), a wholly owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto Plc. The Agreement is to acquire an interest in part of the Company’s Northern Territory Liverpool uranium Project tenements, in the world class Alligator Rivers uranium field on the Ranger fault line.

The Agreement allows Rio Tinto to have the right of first refusal over the Company’s other prospective uranium tenements in Northern Territory.

Under the farm-in and joint venture arrangement with Eclipse, Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX) is continuing to pursuing an arrangement with the Northern Land Council (NLC) for a site anthropological survey to determine consent and non-consent areas by Traditional Owners to facilitate the application procedure.

RTX is hoping to conduct this site survey before the end of the 2017 field season prior to the commencement of the wet season in the Northern Territory. Following the results of the site survey a final meeting will be arranged with the NLC Executive for endorsement of these areas by Traditional Owners.

Ngalia Basin

The Eclipse project in the northwest-Central region of the NT effectively comprises the granted EL24808, ELA 24623 and recent EL applications 31499, 31500, 31501 and 31502 (refer Figure 1), where Eclipse has recently been granted ministerial consent to negotiate with the Traditional Land Owners. The Lake McKay application (ELA 24861) came out of moratorium during the year, and the company has reapplied for consent to explore. ELA’s 24623 and 26487 remain in a moratorium period until October 2020.

Eclipse recently commissioned a combined gravity and passive seismic survey on EL24808, and is awaiting results from this work.

QUEENSLAND - MARY VALLEY MANGANESE PROJECT

Starting in November 2016, the company completed several geophysical surveys consisting of combined ground gravity and passive seismic measurements on its Mary Valley manganese project tenements centred 14km southwest of Gympie in Queensland (Figure 1). The Company believes that mining these deposits has demonstrable potential to produce manganese as a Direct Shipping Ore (DSO). These surveys were completed in February 2017 and were reported to market in March.

Work focused on the Amamoor, Eel Creek and Upper Kandanga prospects where historical high grade Mn mineralisation has been mined and which the company had previously prioritised from earlier geological fieldwork.

On-site geological checking of anomalous geophysical gravity survey results determined that there are significant extensions to known mineralisation in the Amamoor and Eel Creek prospects which are now considered high priority drill targets.

Following recent reductions in area, Eclipse now holds around 74sqkm in three EPM’s (Exploration Permits for Minerals) covering the most prospective ground (Figure 2).

Laboratory analysis and metallurgical characterisation studies of bulk samples from the Amamoor (MVAM) and Eel Creek (MVEC) prospects (refer Table of Sample Analyses below) determined that most of this manganese mineralisation appears to be suitable for ferroalloy smelting. In particular, sample MVEC01 represents effectively DSO with an in-situ grade above 40% Mn. Concentrate phosphorous contents are all acceptably low, being below the 0.2% limit generally imposed. The iron contents are low, but this can be compensated for in ferroalloy smelters by adding iron ore to the furnace feed mix or by blending with high iron ores.

Metallurgical Results: Samples from Amamoor (MVAM) and Eel Ck (MVEC) Prospects

Head Conc. Mn/Fe Conc. mineralogy
Sample % Mn grade grade ratio mass
% Mn %P yield
MVAM01 16.7 16.8 0.15 2.5 38% Piemontite, bixbyite
MVAM02 33.9 43.2 0.06 18.9 50% Hausmannite
MVAM03 12.9 13.2 0.14 2.5 62% Piemontite
MVEC01 41.5 43.4 0.04 23.4 81% Bixbyite, pyrolusite

Two of the Amamoor samples, MVAM01 and MVAM03, did not respond to beneficiation and the mineralogy revealed high amorphous content related to weathering. It is expected that samples to be produced from diamond drilling exploration will better define the bulk character of fresh mineralisation below these sample sites (Figure 2).

Arrangements are advancing for a drilling campaign to delineate the manganese mineralisation at depth and to gain a better understanding of its extent, mineralogy and grade distribution.

A final report on the Passive Seismic survey shows that the technique has worked in defining shallow soil / overburden, but local conditions and the near-surface high-density manganese-mineralised layer precluded deeper sensitivity

The company is continuing its exploration of other prospects such as Skyring Creek, Skyring North and Donaldsons that, in addition to the Amamoor and Eel Creek prospects, appear to have potential to contain significant quantities of manganese mineralisation. Other manganese prospects will be progressively evaluated.

11. REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each key management person of Eclipse Metals Limited.

The information provided in this report has been audited as required by Section 308(3c) of the Corporations Act 2001 .

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

  • A Remuneration Policy

  • B Details of remuneration

  • C Equity-based compensation

  • D Employment contracts of directors

  • E Key management personnel shareholdings

A Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Eclipse Metals Limited has been designed to align key management personnel objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results. The Board of Eclipse Metals Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best key management personnel to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for key management personnel of the Group is as follows:

  • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for key management personnel, was developed and approved by the Board.

  • All key management personnel are remunerated (based on factors such as length of service and experience).

  • Key management personnel can be employed by the Group on a consultancy basis, upon Board approval, with remuneration and terms stipulated in individual consultancy agreements.

  • The Board reviews key management personnel packages annually based on market practices, duties and accountability. Currently there is no link between remuneration and shareholder wealth or Group performance. The Board may, however, approve at its discretion, incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for their performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

Key management personnel are also entitled to participate in employee share and option arrangements.

All remuneration paid to key management personnel is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Shares given to key management personnel are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by key management personnel. Unlisted options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

The Board believes that it has implemented suitable practices and procedures that are appropriate for an organisation of this size and maturity.

Remuneration Committee

During the year ended 30 June 2017, the Group did not have a separately established nomination or remuneration committee. Considering the size of the Group, the number of directors and the Group’s stages of development, the Board are of the view that these functions could be efficiently performed with full Board participation.

Remuneration Structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate and distinct.

Key Management Personnel Remuneration Policy

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of key management for the Group is as follows:

The remuneration structure for key management personnel is based on a number of factors, including length of service, and particular experience of the individual concerned. The contracts for service between the Group and key management personnel are on a continuing basis, the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Eclipse Metals Limited (“Eclipse” or “the Company”) and its Controlled Entities (the “Group”).

The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Eclipse Metals Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 .

The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 29 September 2017.

Eclipse Metals Limited is a public company incorporated in Western Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the directors’ report.

2. SUMMARY OF THE SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (A-IFRS). Compliance with A-IFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.

Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial report except where stated.

b) Going concern

The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

In the past twelve (12) months the Group has continued its exploration programs. For the full year ended 30 June 2017, the Group recorded a net loss of $643,074 (2016: $647,571), a net operating cash outflow of $353,256 (2016: $319,057) and a net working capital of $884,694 (2016: $318,120).

This financial report has been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the commercial realisation of the future potential of Eclipse Metals Limited assets and the discharge of its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Board considers that the Company is a going concern and anticipate in order to meet and progress its planned exploration expenditure further funding will be required within the next twelve (12) months and having prepared a cash flow budget of the Group’s working capital requirements have already commenced planning to access additional funding.

The Directors regularly monitor the Group’s cash position and on an on-going basis consider a number of strategic and operational plans to ensure that adequate funding continues to be available for the Group to meet its business objectives.

The following actions either singularly or in combination have been considered by the Board as a way to derive further funding for the Group:

  • Alliance with cornerstone investors;

  • Alliance with multinational and reputable global companies together with institutional brokers for raising additional capital on market to fund the Group’s ongoing exploration and development program whilst also providing working capital requirements;

  • Consideration of Joint Venture and Farm-in offers as a sustainable approach in developing the company’s projects while minimising shareholder dilution at low market price raising large sums of cash capital in the interim; and/or

  • The successful commercial exploitation of the Group’s mineral interests

In the medium to long term, the Board is progressing discussions and negotiations with cornerstone investors locally and aboard that are keen to partake in developing the Group’s projects to viable mineral resources. The Company is also in process of negotiation with some well-known overseas investors who have shown interest in the Company in light of recent positive political negotiations towards uranium trading between India and Australia.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

b) Going concern (cont’d)

Albeit the negotiations are at an early stage the Directors are confident that their investment approach is sound and the opportunity will be progressed to discussing a number of funding options with these cornerstone investors, including further debt and capital raisings representing an ongoing revenue stream or several one-off cash inflows.

The strategic alliance with multinational and reputable global companies in forming activities on the Group’s projects would most certainly increase the overall value and credibility of the Company share value. The Board is confident from observing the recent growth in the company’s market capitalisation to be in better position in raising capital at a higher value. This healthy growth should continue to grow placing the company in a better position to raise further capital at higher market price during next financial year.

The Company has the ability to raise funds under the combined 25% placement facilities. At the date of preparing this Report the number of Shares to be issued and the price are still to be determined and will depend on such things as the status of the projects.

It is likely that the Placement will be Shares only at this stage.

The Directors will determine to who the Shares will be issued, who are unknown as at the date of this Report but will predominately come from overseas. The investors will be professional and sophisticated and be introduced to the Company through the Board. It is not anticipated at this stage that the investors will be related parties of the Company.

The Board regularly review new potential acquisitions in other mineral resources as a stand-alone to the current projects or as an addition.

The Board believe that maintaining strong relations with cornerstone investors, recognised global companies and institutional brokers and reviewing new acquisitions will have a positive impact on the Company’s Share price. Therefore, subject to prevailing equity market conditions, Eclipse Metals Limited will obtain sufficient funding to enable it to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt that basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial report.

Should the Group be unable to raise sufficient funds, it would consider selectively reducing administrative and exploration costs further.

In the event that the Company is unable to secure sources of funding, the Company may be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in this report.

c) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the parent entity’s functional currency.

d) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts 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:

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. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Mineral exploration and evaluation

The Group has impaired exploration expenditure of $120,887 at 30 June 2017 (2016: $258,023). Exploration expenditure are impaired in respect of tenements the Group relinquishes during the year and tenements on which the Group has no further exploration work planned or budgeted.

At 30 June 2017, the Group has capitalised exploration expenditure of $2,228,800 (2016:$2,324,800) on the basis either that this is expected to be recouped through future successful development (or alternatively sale) of the areas of interest concerned or on the basis that it is not yet possible to assess whether it will be recouped.

Deferred taxation

Potential future income tax benefits have not been brought to account at 30 June 2017 because the directors do not believe that it is appropriate to regard realisations of future income tax benefits.

ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 20

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

e) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the Parent (Eclipse Metals Limited) and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided at Note 12.

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation.

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.

f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

g) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

h) Financial instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost.

Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2017

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

h) Financial instruments (cont’d)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying amount being included in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial assets are derecognised.

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial assets are derecognised.

Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other investments are classified as current assets.

Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale investments are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

They are subsequently measured at fair value with any re-measurements other than impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets when they are expected to be sold after 12 months from the end of the reporting period. All other available-for-sale financial assets are classified as current assets.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset has been impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a “loss event”) having occurred, which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).

In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the market value of the instrument is considered to constitute a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.

In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible measures of recovery, if management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance account.

When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, the Group recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events that have occurred are duly considered.

ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 22

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2017

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

De-recognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire 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 when the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount 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.

i) Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information, including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the

AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment) . Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet available for use.

j) Income tax

The income tax expense/ (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense/ (income) and deferred tax expense/ (income).

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities/ (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/(recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense/(income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.

Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. With respect to non-depreciable items of property, plant and equipment measured at fair value and items of investment property measured at fair value, the related deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is measured on the basis that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered entirely through sale.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of sell-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

k) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

l) Provisions and employee leave benefits

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying value is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, for example under an insurance contract, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Employee leave benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

During the year ended 30 June 2017, the Company had no employees.

m) Revenue and other income

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

n) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.

o) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure on areas of interest are capitalised in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only capitalised to the extent that they are expected to be recovered through the successful development of the area of where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to capitalise costs in relation to that area of interest.

p) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

If the Group reacquires its own equity instruments, e.g. as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from the equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributed incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

q) Loss per share

Basic loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Diluted loss per share

Diluted loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic loss per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no considerations in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

r) Equity-settled compensation

Share-based payments to directors are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

s) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Eclipse Metals Limited, disclosed in Note 24 has been prepared on the same basis as the financial statements for the Group, except as set out below.

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment, if applicable, in the financial statements of the Company.

t) Comparatives figures

Certain comparatives have been reclassified where necessary to be consistent with the current year’s disclosures. When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

u) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

New standards and interpretations Adopted in 2016/17 FY

The Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 but determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.

  • AASB 9 Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable for annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2018).

The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the comment on hedge accounting below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting.

Key changes made to this standard that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 will not have a material impact on the Group’s financial instruments.

  • AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018).

ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 25

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2017

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

u) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards (cont’d)

When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, principles-based model. Except for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 will apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers.

The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following five-step process:

  • identify the contract(s) with a customer;

  • identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);

  • determine the transaction price

  • allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and

  • recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.

This Standard will require retrospective restatement, as well as enhanced disclosures regarding revenue.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 will not have a material impact on the Group’s revenue recognition and disclosures.

  • AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019).

AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for the lessee effectively treating all leases as finance leases. Short term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of a low value are exempt from the lease accounting requirements. Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice.

The Directors at this stage are unable to quantify the impact of implementation of this standard.

  • AASB 2014-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations [AASB 1 & AASB 11].

AASB 2014-3 amends AASB 11 Joint Arrangements to provide guidance on the accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations in which the activity constitutes a business. The amendments require:

(a) the acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business, as defined in AASB 3 Business Combinations, to apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting in AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in AASB 11.

(b) the acquirer to disclose the information required by AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards for business combinations.

This Standard also makes an editorial correction to AASB 11.

  • Other standards not yet applicable

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transaction.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The directors have considered the requirements of AASB 8 Operating Segments and the internal reports that are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the Board) in allocating resources and have concluded that at this time there are no separately identifiable segments.

Following the adoption of AASB 8, the identification of the Group’s reportable segments has not changed. During the year, the Group considers that it has only operated within one segment, being mineral exploration within Australia.

The Group is domiciled in Australia, with all assets and operations located in Australia.

Potential future income tax benefits arising from tax losses have not been brought to account at 30 June 2017 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the future income tax benefits as possible. These benefits will only be obtained if:

  • assessable income is derived of a nature and of amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions to be realised;

  • the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

  • no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the realisation of the benefit from the deductions.

Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counterparties. The class of assets described as trade and other receivables is considered to be the main source of the Group’s exposure to credit risk.

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when the debt has not been settled with the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counter party to the transaction.

During the financial year, the Group’s least prospective tenement was relinquished or deemed not worthy of further exploration as a result of dim forecasts towards some commodity prices. Relinquishment of this tenement allows the Group to focus its resources on the more prospective tenements and to evaluate other opportunities in the resources sector that may arise.

The Group has relinquished and impaired the following tenements:

The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phase is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas. The Group has an interest in certain exploration tenements and the amounts shown above include amounts expended to date in the acquisition and/or exploration of these tenements.

Since the end of the financial year, no ordinary shares have been issued as a result of the exercise of options.

c) Capital Management

Management control the capital of the Group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont’d)

a) Significant accounting policies

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which revenues and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements.

b) Credit risk exposures

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if the counterparties default on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other Security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group measures credit risk on a fair value basis.

It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms will be subject to credit verification procedures.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties. Details with respect to credit risk of trade and other receivables is provided at Note 9. Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are detailed at Note 9.

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Board. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard and Poor’s rating of at least AA-.

c) Market risk

Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s cash and short-term deposits. Since the Group does not have long-term debt obligations, the Group’s exposure to this risk is minimal.

Market price risk

The Group has no available-for-sale-financial-assets and therefore has no exposure to market price risk.

Foreign currency risk

The Group has no foreign currency or foreign operations and therefore has no exposure to foreign currency risk.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates and equity prices.

These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

  • Preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operational, investing, and financing activities;

  • Obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

  • Maintaining a reputable credit profile;

  • Managing credit risk related to financial assets; and

  • Only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions.

Financial instruments measured at fair value

The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position have been analysed and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:

  • Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);

  • Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and

  • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs (Level 3).

At 30 June 2017 no financial assets or liabilities are carried at fair value.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Eclipse Metals Limited (the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

  • In our opinion, 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 2017 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; 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.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

==> picture [114 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

Key Audit Matters

Carrying Value of Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

As at 30 June 2017, Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure totals $2,228,800 (refer to Note 11 of the financial report).

The carrying value of Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure is a key audit matter due to:

  • The significance of the total balance (63% of total assets);

  • The necessity to assess management’s application of the requirements of the accounting standard Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”), in light of any indicators of impairment that may be present; and

  • The assessment of significant judgements made by management in relation to the Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure.

Inter alia, our audit procedures included the following:

  • i. Assessing the Group’s right to tenure over exploration assets by corroborating the ownership of the relevant licences for mineral resources to government registries and relevant third party documentation;

  • ii. Reviewing the directors’ assessment of the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation expenditure, ensuring the veracity of the data presented and that management has considered the effect of potential impairment indicators, commodity prices and the stage of the Group’s projects against AASB 6;

  • iii. Evaluation of Group documents for consistency with the intentions for the continuing of exploration and evaluation activities in certain areas of interest, and corroborated with enquiries of management. Inter alia, the documents we evaluated included:

  • Minutes of meetings of the board and management;

  • Announcements made by the Group to the Australian Securities Exchange;

  • Cash forecasts; and

  • iv. Consideration of the requirements of accounting standard AASB 6. We assessed the financial statements in relation to AASB 6 to ensure appropriate disclosures are made.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the financial report and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001and 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.

40

==> picture [114 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

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 .

As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in Internal control that we identify during our audit.

The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial report of the current period and are therefore key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

1.4 The Company Secretary should be accountable directly to the board, through the chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the board. The Company Secretary is appointed, removed by the Board and reports directly to the Chairman. The Company Secretary has a direct line of communication with the Chairman and each Director is able to communicate directly with the Company Secretary and vica versa. For Eclipse, the Company Secretary is responsible for supporting the proper functioning of the Board which includes, but is not limited to, providing advice on governance, ASX policy and procedural issues, preparing detailed minutes and working with the Chairman to co-ordinate the Board agenda. In addition to these responsibilities, the Company Secretary is responsible for oversight of the share registry services provided by Security Transfer Registrars. 1.5 The Company should: (a) Have a diversity policy which includes requirements for the board or a relevant committee of the board to set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the Company’s progress in achieving them; (b) Disclose that policy or a summary of it; and (c) Disclose as at the end of each reporting period the measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity set by the board or a relevant committee of the board in accordance with the Company’s diversity policy and its progress towards achieving them, and either  The respective proportions of men and women on the board, in senior executive positions and across the whole organization; or  The most recent “Gender Equity Indicators” as defined in the Workplace Gender Equality Act The Company has established a Diversity Policy for the boardroom and for senior management which provides a framework for new and existing diversity related initiatives and polices to be implemented and maintained. The Policy is available on the Company’s webpage. Each year, the Board will consider whether to set measurable objectives to achieve positive diversity outcomes, including a balance representation of women in the Company’s business. The Board have resolved to establish measurable objectives for gender diversity as and when its workforce reaches a size that justifies such a policy, therefore the Board did not set measurable objectives during the 2017 financial year. The size of the Company is currently less than 10 employees. Currently, the composition of the “Eclipse team” is: 2 females in senior roles – Company Accountant and Secretary; and 3 male Board members 1.6 The Company should (a) Have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors; and (b) Disclose in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that process The Company’s Corporate Governance Policies includes a Performance Evaluation Process Policy which discloses the annual process for evaluating performance. As the Board is small comprising of only three (3) members, assessment of the Board is completed as a group performance.

ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 46

No formal performance evaluation of the Board or the Directors took place during the 2017 financial year, but there was a verbal informal performance appraisal of the Directors between the Chairman and Company Secretary.

1.7 The Company should (a) Have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of its senior executives; and (b) Disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period on accordance with that process Given the current low level of complexity of the Company’s operations, the management structure is flat with only the Board in place and all other functions are out sourced to third party service providers. If required, the evaluation of the performance of non-board members would be completed by the Chairman.

No formal performance evaluation of the Executive Director took place in the reporting period.
Principle 2:
Structure the board to add value
The Board should be of an appropriate sixe, composition, skills and commitment to enable it to
**discharge its duties effectively. **
2.1 The Company should
(a) Have a nomination committee

With a least three (3) members, a majority of who are independent directors;

Chaired by an independent director
And discloses:

The charter of the committee;

The members of the committee; and

The number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendance of the
members at those meetings
(b) If the Company has no nomination committee, there must be disclosure of that fact and the processes it
employs to address board succession issues and to ensure that the board has the appropriate balance
of skills, knowledge, experience independent and diversity to enable it to discharge its duties and
responsibilities effectively.
A Nomination Committee has not been formed under Recommendation 2.1. The Board as a whole
considers the composition of the Board and appointment of new Directors. The Board identifies suitable
candidates to fill vacancies as they arise with the aim of achieving the optimal mix of skills and diversity.
The Board has decided that at this time, no efficiencies will be achieved by establishing a separate
nomination committee.
The Board decides the selection of members of the Board and makes the necessary recommendations to
Shareholders for election of Directors. In considering membership of the Board, directors take into
account the appropriate skills and characteristics needed by the Board to maximize its effectiveness and
the blend of skills, knowledge and experience for the present and future needs of the Company.
Each Board member is responsible for assessing the necessary competencies of Board members to add
value to the Company, reviewing Board succession plans and evaluating the Board’s performance.
2.2 The Company should have and disclose a board skills matrix of skills and diversity that the board currently
has or is looking to achieve in its membership.
During the 2016-2017 financial year, the Board comprised three directors, including two non-executive
directors; there was no female representation on the Board. Details of the directors, including their
qualifications and date of appointment are set out in the Board Charter. Detailed biographies are set out
in the Directors’ Report of the Company’s 2017 Annual Report.

The Board considers that collectively the directors represent the skills, knowledge and experience necessary and desirable to direct the Company. The non-executive directors contribute exploration and geology experience, an understanding of the industry in which Eclipse operates and an understanding of the matters that are important to the Company. The Executive Chairman brings an additional perspective to the Board through a thorough understanding of Eclipse’s business .

The current directors possess an appropriate mix of skills, experience and expertise to enable the Board to discharge its responsibilities and deliver the company’s strategic priorities.

The Board recognises that opportunities exist to consider diversity upon future retirements of nonexecutive directors.

The Board skills matrix sets out below the combined skills, experience and expertise presently represented on the Board.

2.3 The Company should disclose:
(a) The names of the directors considered by the board to be independent;
(b) If a director has an interest, position, association or relationship that might cause doubts about the
independence of a director but the board is of the opinion that it does not compromise the
independence of the director, the nature of the interest, position, association or relationship in question
and explanation of why the board is of that opinion; and
(c) The length of service of each director
The Board has adopted a charter to give formal recognition to a detailed definition of independence. The
Board has the following two (2) independent directors – Mr Rod Dale and Mr Craig Hall.
The Executive Chairman is not independent within the strict meaning as he is employed in an executive
capacity and is a substantial shareholder.
The directors’ status including their length of service is disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.
2.4 A majority of the board should be independent directors
The Board is currently made up of three (3) directors, with two (2) of them being independent in terms of
the relationships affecting Independent Status in Recommendation 2.3 of the Principles.
The majority of the Board are considered independent as per the criteria outlined in the Board Charter
which includes the Company’s criteria for independent of Directors.

ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 48

The directors believe that there exists a strong incentive for all board members to carry out their directorial duties in an independent manner. The Board considers that this, combined with sufficient independence of view and variety of intellectual input between the directors to be satisfied with the ratio of independent and non-independent directors.

A determination with respect to independence is made by the board on an annual basis. In addition, the directors are required on an ongoing basis to disclose relevant personal interests and conflicts of interest which may in turn trigger a review of a director’s independent status. 2.5 The chair of the board should be an independent director and, in particular should not be the same person as the CEO. The Chairman of the board is not an independent director. The Company believes that an independent Chairman, under Recommendation 2.5 does not necessarily improve the function of the Board - when the Chairman is a significant driver behind the business and is a sizeable shareholder, it adds value to the Company as the Chairman has a vested interest to develop a cohesive Board which operates effectively in protecting shareholders’ interests and maintaining strong relationships with the other Directors and the senior team (if applicable). So there is no objection that the Chairman is not an independent director. The Company currently does not employ a CEO consequently the Chairman is not the CEO of the entity. 2.6 The Company should have a program for inducting new directors and provide appropriate professional development opportunities for directors to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as directors effectively. Due to the fact that directors are chosen for their specialist knowledge of their sector, the Board induction process is of an informal nature. New directors are fully briefed about the nature of the business, current issues, the corporate strategy and the expectations of the Company concerning performance of Directors. Directors are given access to continuing education opportunities and professional development to update and enhance their skills and knowledge. The Company should act ethically an responsibly 3.1 The Company should: (a) Have a code of conduct for its directors , senior executives and employees; and (b) That discloses that code or a summary of it. A Directors and Executive Officers’ Code of Conduct Policy, is in place and provides a framework for decisions and actions in relation to ethical conduct in employment and all employees and directors are expected, at a minimum, to follow.

The Code is included on the Company’s website.

Principle 4:
Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting
The Company should have formal and rigorous processes that independently verify and safeguard the
integrity of its corporate reporting
4.1 The Company should:
(a) Have an audit committee

With a least three (3) members, all of whom are non-executive directors and the majority of who
are independent directors;

Chaired by an independent director who is not the chair of the board
And discloses:

ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 49


The charter of the committee;

The relevant qualifications and experience of the members of the committee; and

The number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendance of the
members at those meetings
(b) If the Company has no audit committee, there must be disclosure of that fact and the processes it
employs to independently verify and safeguard the integrity of its corporate reporting, including the
processes for the appointment and removal of the external auditor and the rotation of the audit
engagement partner.
The directors do not consider that the Company's affairs are of such a size and complexity as to merit
the establishment of a separate Audit Committee. Until this situation changes, the Board will carry out all
audit committee functions.
The Board monitors the form and content of the Company's financial statements and maintains an
overview of the Company’s internal financial control and audit system and risk management systems.
4.2 Before the board approves the financial statements for a financial period, it should receive from its CEO and
CFO a declaration that, in their opinion the financial records have been properly maintained and that the
financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and gives a true and fair view of the
financial position and performance of the Company which has been formed on the basis of a sound system
of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively.
On an annual basis, the Company’s Accountant along with the Executive Chairman, provide written
confirmation to the Board that the Company’s Financial Reports present a true and fair view, in all
material respects of the Company’s financial condition and operational results are in accordance with
relevant accounting standards.
Furthermore, sign off of this Declaration is founded on a sign system of risk management and internal
compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the Board.
4.3 The external auditors are to attend the Company’s AGM and are available to answer questions from
shareholders relevant to the audit.
The Company’s Annual General Meeting is conducted in accordance with theCorporations Act and the
Constitution of the Company.
The Company ensures that a representative from the external auditor attends the Annual General
Meeting to answer questions concerning the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the
auditor’s report, accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor in
relation to the conduct of the audit.
The Auditor’s presence is made known to Shareholders during the Meeting and Shareholders are
provided with an opportunity toput forwardquestions to the external auditor.

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure The Company should make timely and balanced disclosure of all matters concerning it that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its securities 5.1 The Company should (a) Have a written policy for complying with its Continuous disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules; and (b) Disclose that policy or a summary of it Compliance procedures, to ensure timely and balanced disclosure of information in line with the Recommendations, have been noted and adopted by the Company and a Continuous Disclosure Policy has been adopted.

ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 50

The Policy is available on the Company’s website.

The Company Secretary is charged with ensuring that any disclosure steps which need to be taken by
the Company are brought before the Board for discussion and, subject to amendment, approved.
The Company Secretary is responsible for disclosures to the market, in addition to communicating with
the ASX.
Principle 6:
Respect the rights of shareholders
The Company should respect the rights of its shareholders by providing them with appropriate
information and facilities to allow them to exercise those rights effectively
6.1 The Company should provide information about itself and its governance to investors via its website.
The Company maintains a website and shareholders can find all recent information on the Company
under various headings on the Company’s website, including latest ASX releases, details of its projects
and its Corporate Profile.
Shareholders may also request a copy of the Company’s ASX recent releases.
6.2 The Company should design and implement an investor relations program to facilitate effective two-way
communication with investors.
The Company does not have a formal investor relations program per say but has established a
Shareholder Communications Policy which aims to ensure that shareholders are fully informed by
communicating to them through

Continuous disclosure reporting to the ASX;

Quarterly, half yearly and annual reports; and

Media releases, copies of which are lodged with the ASX andplace on the Company’s website
6.3 The Company should disclose the policies and processes it has in place to facilitate and encourage
participation at meetings of shareholders.
The Shareholder Communications Policy aims to ensure shareholder participation at all Annual and
General Meetings that they are permitted to attend.
6.4 The Company should give shareholders the option to receive communications from and send
communications to the Company and its share registry electronically.
Shareholders are given the option to receive information such as the Annual Report and Notice of
Meeting in print or electronic form.
Principle 7:
Recognise and manage risk
The Company should establish a sound risk management framework and periodically review the
effectiveness of that framework
7.1 The Company should:
(a) Have a committee or committees to oversee risk, each of which

Has at least three (3) members, a majority of who are independent directors; and

Chaired by an independent director
And discloses:

The charter of the committee;

The members of the committee; and

The number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendance of the
members at those meetings
(b)If the Companyhas no risk committee or committees, that satisfy (a)above, disclose that fact and the

ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 51

processes it employs to oversee the Company’s risk management framework.

The Company has not established a committee to oversee risk. The Company has a management policy in place for the identification and effective management of risk. The policy provides for the management of risk by the Board and management reporting to the Executive Director, being principally the risks involved in the Company's main business enterprise – mineral exploration. The Directors have significant experience in and understanding of the industry in which the Company operates and the risks associated with public companies in mineral exploration to perform the functions associated with risk that would be performed by a committee established to oversee risk. 7.2 The board or a Committee of the board should: (a) Review the Company’s risk management framework at least annually to satisfy itself that, it continues to be sound; and (b) Discloses, in relation to each reporting period, whether such a review has been taken. Management has established a register of business risks, identified the material business risks affecting the Company and reviews at each Board Meeting to determine if an alternative course of action is required to be implemented to mitigate any risk, particularly financial risk, given the size and complexity of operations. To the extent possible in a Company with very little staff, internal controls are in place to mitigate against any material business risks. Risks of a strategic, financial and operational nature (such as ability to raise capital to fund exploration, commodity price and currency fluctuations, adequate levels of insurance, contract documentation, maintaining tenements in good standing and meeting financial reporting and compliance obligations) are reviewed on a regular basis by the Board. Potential operational risks involved in running the Company are managed by the Board. Due to the size of the Company, the Board does not consider it practical to establish a separate committee to focus on these issues. 7.3 The Company should disclose: (a) If it has an internal audit function, how the function is structured and what role it performs; or (b) If it does not have an internal audit function, that fact and the processes it employs for evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control processes. The Company's affairs are of such a size and complexity as to not merit the establishment of an internal audit function. An internal audit function will be established after the setup of the Audit and Risk Management Committee and in consultation with the external auditors as to when the Company is at the stage where such a function is warranted. 7.4 The Company should disclose whether it has any material exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability risks and if it does, how it manages or intends to manage those risks. The Company recognises that it has exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability risks which are managed through a series of internal and publicly available policies including but not limited to the Board Charter and the Code of Conduct.

  • Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly The Company should pay director remuneration sufficient to attract and retain high quality directors and design its executive remuneration to attract, retain and motivate high quality senior executives and to align their interests with the creation of value for Shareholders. 8.1 The Board should (a) Have a remuneration committee which  Has at least three (3) members, a majority of who are independent directors;  Chaired by an independent director And discloses:  The charter of the committee;  The members of the committee; and  The number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendance of the members at those meetings

  • (b) If the Company has no remuneration committee disclose that fact and the processes it employs for setting the level and composition of remuneration for directors and senior executives and ensuring that such remuneration is appropriate and not excessive.

The Board on an annual basis reviews executive remuneration and incentive policies together wil approving the audited annual remuneration report set out in the Directors’ Report.

The Board, where necessary, consults external consultants and specialists.

  • 8.2 The Company should separately disclose its policies and practices regarding the remuneration of nonexecutive directors and the remuneration of executive directors and other senior executives.

The Board distinguishes the remuneration of non-executive directors from that of executive directors. The Company’s Constitution provides that the remuneration of non-executive directors is fixed and they do not participate in any incentive plans. And do not receive any retirement benefits. For information about non-executive director remuneration practice, reference can be made to the audited remuneration report set out in the Directors’ Report.

The board is responsible for determining the remuneration of any director or senior executive without the participation of the concerned director or executive

Furthermore, the information provided in the Remuneration Report is audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

  • 8.3 The Company if it has an equity based remuneration scheme should

  • (a) Have a policy on whether participants are permitted to enter into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme; and

  • (b) Disclose that policy or a summary of it

The Company’s policy on Dealing in Securities prohibits participants from entering into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme.
