NORTHERN TERRITORY

Devil’s Elbow Prospect, Liverpool Uranium Project

During the financial year, the terms of an Aboriginal Land Rights Agreement were negotiated over several months with Northern Land Council ( NLC ). Subsequently the Company met with the Traditional Landowners through their legal representatives, the NLC, at Oenpelli in the Northern Territory for the purpose of formalising the Aboriginal Land Rights Agreement (ALRA) regarding uranium-gold-palladium exploration and potential mining within ELA 27584. The Company successfully concluded negotiations on this long-awaited Agreement in December 2019. Under the Agreement, consent is granted by the Traditional Owners for bilateral benefits, ratified by NLC.

Following approval by the Commonwealth Minister for Indigenous Australians, EL 27584, Devil’s Elbow (100.45sqkm), was granted by the NT Department of Primary Industry and Resources on 29 May 2020.

The Devil’s Elbow prospect lies within a group of four tenements with a total area of 1,463sq km known as the Liverpool Project area within the worldclass Alligator Rivers Uranium Field, straddling the Ranger Fault. Major uranium explorers such Rio Tinto, Cameco Australia, DevEx and Alligator Energy Ltd are a few companies which hold significant exploration ground within this district.

Subsequently, a meetings was arranged with the NLC and Traditional Owners to negotiate conditions for granting of adjoining exploration licences ELA31065 and ELA31770 (see Figure 1), which will add considerable prospective ground along this part of the Ranger Fault and radiometric anomalies to the east and south-east from Devil’s Elbow.

Devil’s Elbow Geophysical Background

Early in the calendar year, extensive review and analysis of newly acquired geophysical data was conducted by an independent geophysical consultant. The company was able to access hitherto unavailable data from earlier explorers, particularly Cameco Corporation of Canada. As a result, the structural framework within EL27584 has been mapped out for the first time.

This geophysical and geological review highlights potential for delineation of uranium mineralisation within the Devil’s Elbow U-Au-Pd project. Airborne radiometric surveys are the most common technique used in uranium exploration and have successfully discovered many significant deposits in the Northern Territory and worldwide.

The Devil’s Elbow prospects have strong similarities to the Jabiluka Uranium-Gold mine which was discovered in 1971 following-up a low order anomaly from a ground radiometric survey. Jabiluka is located 20km to the north of the Ranger uranium mine, about 75km to the west of Devil’s Elbow. The uranium and gold mineralization occurs in an altered member of the Cahill Formation, proximal to reverse faulting structures.

In 2012 /13 the reserves at Jabiluka were quoted as 67,700t U3O8 ore; measured and indicated resources of 16,440t at 0.36% U3O8 and inferred resources of 57,500t of 0.48% U3O8, with a gold resource of 1.1Mt at 10.7g/t for 385,850oz. The Jabiluka deposits were discovered by drilling following trenching in an area of high-grade mineralized float. This is amongst the world’s largest and highest-grade uranium deposits.

In the Alligator Rivers Uranium Field, airborne radiometric surveys detected significant uranium mineralisation at Ranger 1, Koongarra and Nabarlek. The largest radiometric anomaly at Ranger 1 was 15 times background intensity and extended over an area of 7 km by 1.5 km (Rowntree and Mosher 1975). The Ranger 1 mineral resource was 18.04 Mt @ 0.34% U with 60,961 t contained U3O8. By contrast, the Koongarra U-Au anomaly was detected on one flight line and had an extent of only 100 m. This small weak radiometric anomaly yielded the Koongarra 1 and 2 deposits. Koongara 1 has a mineral reserve of 1.82Mt @ 0.79% U3O8 with 14,512 t contained U3O8 and 100,000 oz Au and Koongarra 2 mineral resource is 0.66Mt @ 0.30% U3O8 with 2,000 t contained U3O8 (Bajwah ZU. & Lally, 2006).

Seventeen (17) robust walk up drill targets have been defined within the Devil's Elbow Exploration Licence based on integration of all geophysical products generated from Cameco Australia Pty Ltd historical geophysical surveys (see Figure 2). Several priority drill targets delineated have radiometric signatures similar to known uranium deposits within the Alligator Rivers Uranium Field. Abundant magnetic lows coinciding with radiometric anomalies potentially outline alteration halos known to be associated with uranium mineralisation.

Most radiometric target areas identified are small in size (diameter < 1km) over and proximal to the Devil’s Elbow, Terrace and Ferricrete prospects. The main limitation of airborne radiometric surveys is depth penetration. The experience at Jabiluka showed that even a large deposit is rendered ‘blind’ by a thin cover of overburden (less than 3m over Jabiluka 1). These surveys are still used as a very cost-effective means of rapidly assessing large areas for priority targets from surface anomalies (Lally and Bajwah, 2006).

From these results, weak radiometric anomalies coincide with uranium mineralisation over Devil’s Elbow U-Au-Pd prospect which has yielded high grade surface uranium assays of 3.2% U3O8, 3.7% U3O8, 4.40% U3O8 and 5.8% U3O8, with 38.1 g/t Au and 28.02 g/t Pd .

The Terrace anomaly is located at the northern end of the Devil’s Elbow area, characterised by a small weak radiometric anomaly. Significantly, approximately 20 boulders of ferruginous sandstone float have been identified historically as anomalous in uranium, with one boulder being highly anomalous, containing 0.21% U3O8 . The boulders are located near a major southeast trending lineament.

The Ferricrete uranium prospect has also been classified as a weak radiometric anomaly. This is located to the southeast of the Devil’s Elbow area, within a deeply incised valley coincident with an east-northeast trending fault splay off the Ranger Fault. Assays from ferricrete / ironstone samples returned up to 0.35% U3O8 . Historical trenching across the valley floor returned assay results of up 0.44% U3O8 with enriched gold, associated with lateritic clays.

Two large and unexplained uranium anomalies located to the south-west of the Devil’s Elbow prospect have been flagged for immediate follow-up (refer to Figure 1 - Targets 5 and 6). They remain high priority targets based on size and radiometric signatures, which are similar to known uranium deposits across the Alligator Rivers Uranium Field. These radiometric target zones remain unexplored by previous companies and will require ground verification to assess the radiometric source.

Based on reinterpreted radiometric data, Eclipse has determined the uranium mineralisation is closely associated with radiometric signatures over EL27584. The potential to delineated further uranium mineralisation to the south-west is very encouraging as these are very strong radiometric

features. Ground investigation over these radiometric anomalies will commence during the dry season. Results from this work will be further refined to facilitate new exploration programs.

Based on re-interpretation of the magnetic data, it has been noted that there are extensive magnetic lows which coincide with the radiometric anomalies at the Devil’s Elbow, Terrace and Ferricrete prospects. This was previously unknown to Eclipse and further highlights the potential for alteration halos being associated with uranium mineralisation. Figure 3 highlights the extensive semi-coincident magnetic lows and radiometric anomalies within EL27584. Eight targets have been defined to date.

Subsequent to the end of the financial year, an initial helicopter borne reconnaissance visit was conducted to assess logistical requirements and to scope the sites of significant radiometric anomalism for access by ground crews and drilling equipment. Areas of high radioactivity were confirmed for future reference.

Directors’ Report (cont’d)

At Devil’s Elbow surface total count/second (CPS) scintillometer readings were very high confirming historical results from exploration activities by Cameco and Uranerz. The reconnaissance trip confirmed that the main U-Au-Pd mineralised zone is hosted within the altered Nungbalgarri Volcanic unit. Minor hematite and chlorite alteration were observed within areas of high radioactive response. The highest count measured was 2,200 CPS with other high values including 950, 750, 650 and 400 CPS against background readings of 130CPS within the Devil’s Elbow Prospect area. (see Figure 4 photograph) refer ASX Announcement ( refer to ASX Announcement:27 August 2020 – First Reconnaissance Trip to Devils Elbow Project ).

==> picture [451 x 275] intentionally omitted <==

Planning is advanced for a further reconnaissance site visit to investigate and develop logistical requirements in more detail to facilitate ground access for drilling equipment and camp during the dry season.

During the year, the Company also applied for a Geophysics and Drilling Collaboration funding grant through the NT Geological Survey but was unsuccessful on this occasion.

Ngalia Basin Uranium, Vanadium Project

Eclipse now holds rights to a dominant exploration position over the uranium and vanadium prospective and under-explored central portion of the Ngalia Basin, (see Figure 5), located 300km west-northwest from Alice Springs. The project tenements, (granted EL24808 and EL 32080) plus further applications made in 2019 cover 6,615sqkm of prospective geology - where previous explorers outlined 400 linear km of uranium prospective paleochannel systems including the “Afghan Swan” prospect.

Figure 5 Ngalia Basin location and tenement map

(Refer to ASX announcements: 25 August 2020 – Updated Investor Presentation and 11 January 2019 - Positive Progress on Gravimetric Survey over EL24808)

The Ngalia Basin notably hosts the Bigrlyi deposit (inferred and indicated resources of 9,570t of U308 at 1,283 ppm and 8,930t of V2O3 averaging 1197 ppm- at 500 ppm U308 cutoff ); the Capper deposit (Inferred Resource 3,200t of U3O8, averaging 145 ppm U -at 100ppm cutoff ) and the Napperby Project (inferred resource of 3,643t of U308 at 382 ppm U at and 2,251t of V2O3 grading 236 ppm -at 200 ppm U308 cutoff ).

Energy Metal’s Bigrlyi Uranium project, some 10km NW of EL24808, consists of at least 15 separate anomalies over a 14km strike length. The Eclipse Project tenements cover ground considered prospective for sandstone-hosted Bigrlyi style and possible palaeochannel-hosted uranium and vanadium mineralisation.

Early in 2019 the Company completed interpretation of a geophysical gravity survey on EL24808, Cusack’s Bore. This survey was successful in identifying targets for uranium mineralisation in interpreted paleo-channels.

Encouraged by this development, Eclipse has prepared for further targeted exploration. The geophysical results were further assessed during the 2020 financial year and planning commenced for a reconnaissance drilling program to test indicated paleochannels (see Figures 6 and 7).

Directors’ Report (cont’d)

Limited availability of drilling contractors and then travel restriction due to COVID-19 has precluded execution of an exploration program to date. Adjoining Cusack’s Bore to the south, EL32080 was granted on 23 August 2019. This EL covers earlier interpreted paleochannels, extending in part from adjoining EL24808. Due to timing and the issues noted above, no field work has yet been undertaken.

MARY VALLEY MANGANESE PROJECT, QUEENSLAND

The Mary Valley Manganese Project is located in the Gympie district in southwest Queensland. The largest mine on EPM17938 was at Amamoor No.1 Manganese Deposit (19,630t @ 51% Mn). Subsequently, within only two limited areas of the Mary Valley project, surface technical evaluation indicated the potential for several thousand tonnes of near-surface high grade manganese mineralisation (see ASX release 17 March 2015).

The nearest shipping port from the area is located near Brisbane, approximately 130 kilometres to the south. The Gympie to Brisbane Railway line is approximately 16Km east from the Amamoor project area (see Figure 8).

Eclipse Metals Ltd (Eclipse) Mary Valley Manganese Project is comprised of granted Exploration Permits for Minerals (EPM’s) 17672 and 17938. The Amamoor Project tenement, EPM17938, is located approximately 6km to the west of the small town of Amamoor, about 20km south from Gympie, a major regional town in southeast Queensland. The most significant site of manganese mineralisation within the project area is the historical Amamoor Manganese Mine.

==> picture [481 x 458] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 8 Mary Valley location and tenement map.

The Amamoor mine contributed the majority of previous manganese production from the Mary Valley region, producing ores from shallow open-cut excavations. More recent workings obliterated earlier workings which comprise both access cuts, made to enable vehicle movement and narrow pits from which ore was mined. Excavations followed the trend of mineralisation, excavated using a bulldozer to scrape progressively deeper benches into the weathered rocks. There is no evidence of deeper open-cut or underground mining. Mining at the Amamoor Manganese Mine occurred in four phases1920 to 1926; 1937 and 1938; 1950 to 1954, 1958 and 1959.

Drill samples in 2018 returned assays ranging up to 62% MnO from parallel dipping formations which are open along strike in both directions and at depth. It is planned to drill several additional holes to depths of up to 60m to test these extensions with a view to establishing the extent of this mineralisation and an initial high-grade minable resource.

The deposit model has characteristics similar to the Woodie Woodie deposit in Western Australia and Cuban style deposits of manganese minerals. It appears that early workers assumed the manganese rich formations were tabular bodies lying on the north-eastern slopes of steep ridges. Geological investigations and drilling conducted by Eclipse Metals has demonstrated that manganese enrichment occurs in steeply NE dipping formations, probably as fault replacements cutting across the host geological beds, refer cross section for holes ADD006 and 007, Figure 10 above.

Planned Drilling Activities at Mary Valley

During the fourth quarter of the financial year, planning commenced for further geophysical surveys and drilling on the Amamoor prospect, to be carried out later in 2020.

A program of work has been formalised and permits to undertake a second phase of diamond drilling at Amamoor are in place. The Company has engaged personnel to supervise the drilling program in conjunction with technical direction from the Board. The Company has engaged a local contractor with the appropriate drilling rig and experience in the area who has advised availability to commence the drilling program at Mary Valley later in September 2020.

Positive metallurgical results carried-out on core from the 2018 drilling program confirm that concentrates produced from manganese mineralisation at Mary Valley are amenable to beneficiation with acceptably low phosphorous content.

Review of petrophysical data from test-work on drill core from the 2018 program was re-evaluated and it was concluded that a close-spaced ground magnetometer survey could provide a strong guide to better understand geological structure and distribution of manganese mineralization. A limited ground magnetometer survey is planned to be completed prior to undertaking further drilling.

Amamoor manganese mineralisation is predominantly composed of hausmannite and braunite and contains a new species of manganese mineral identified during petrological studies, named after this location as Amamoorite. This name has been accepted by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) after study by several senior research establishments.

The Company applied for Collaborative Exploration Initiative (CEI) grants for drilling and non-drilling activities but was unsuccessful on this occasion.

CORPORATE

In March 2020, Mr Carl Popal resumed the position of Executive Director of the Company and Mr Rodney Dale reverted to the position of NonExecutive Director.

Given the capital-intensive requirements of exploration, Eclipse is committed to undertaking capital raising processes that are disciplined, low-risk but high return and therefore on the back of these objectives, the Company undertook a number of private Share placements during the 2020 financial year.

ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Page 14

Directors’ Report (cont’d)

A total of 254,809,441 fully paid Ordinary Shares were issued in 3 private placements to sophisticated investors to raise a total of $1,005,619 before costs in October 2019, April and May 2020. Funds from these placements have been directed to “gear up” the Company to commence exploration on the Devil’s Elbow Project as well as for general working capital, administration and corporate related expenses.

Independent Valuation

An independent valuation of the Devil’s Elbow prospect was commissioned.

Corporate Geoscience Group (“CGSG”) prepared an Independent Valuation Report relating to the Company’s Devil’s Elbow uranium-gold-palladium project (“Project”, “Property” or “Mineral Asset”) in the Arnhem Land region of Australia’s Northern Territory. The report was prepared as a public document in the format of a Valuation Report in accordance with the 2015 Edition of the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets (“VALMIN Code”).

The principal objective of this Report was to (i) provide an overview of the Property, and (ii) recommend preferred values and value ranges for the Mineral Asset on the basis of its perceived potential.

The CGSG valuation was based on adopting the geoscience factor (“Kilburn”) and multiples of exploration expenditure (“MEE”) methods, both widelyaccepted and utilised cost-based valuation methods, to arrive at the preferred value and value ranges reported below. In forming its opinion of the likely fair market value of the Mineral Asset, CGSG adopted a market factor used to derive a market value from the technical values derived from the Kilburn and MEE methods.

The broad range of values reflects the subjective nature of the valuation methodologies employed, in particular when applied to exploration properties where mineral resources have not been identified. The board decided the multiples of exploration expenditures (“MEE”) method would be more appropriate for the Devil’s Elbow (ELA 27584).

Corporate Geoscience Group (“CGSG”) Independent Valuation Report conducted in accordance with multiples of exploration expenditures (“MEE”) method, reported a market value of the Company’s Devil’s Elbow Mineral Asset with a preferred value of $3.55 M for (EL 27584).

Directors’ Report (cont’d)

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.

The Board has not formally engaged the services of a remuneration consultant to provide recommendations when setting the remuneration received by directors or other key management personnel during the financial year.

Remuneration Committee

During the year ended 30 June 2020, 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.

Executive Director Remuneration

Objective

The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group and so as to:

  • Reward executives for individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;

  • Align the interests of executives with those shareholders; and

  • Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards

Currently there is no link between remuneration and shareholder wealth or Group performance.

Structure

Executive directors are provided to the Group on a consultancy basis with remuneration and terms stipulated in individual consultancy agreements.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration of non-executive directors is reviewed annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align director’s interests with shareholders’ interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Non-executive directors may also be remunerated for additional specialised services performed at the request of the Board and reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred by directors on company business.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2020

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 financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 29t[h] September 2020.

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 Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and comply with other requirements of the law. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Except for cash flow information, the consolidated 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 financial year ended 30 June 2020, the Group recorded a net loss of $319,132 (2019: $316,256), a net operating cash outflow of $319,657 (2019: $299,220) and a net working capital of $512,667 (2019: deficit $111,049).

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 Group 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 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.

The Group has received confirmation that our related party who is owed an amount of $265,000 as at 30 June 2020 (2019: $315,000) has no intention on pressing for the outstanding amount within 12 months from the date of this report. The latter is keen to stay as a major shareholder to act in the best interest of Eclipse Metals Limited to develop the Company’s projects and increase shareholders value.

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

b) Going concern (cont’d)

The Company has the ability to raise funds under the combined 10% 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.

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

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

In the event that the Group is unable to secure sources of funding, the Group 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. The functional currency of all the subsidiaries is the Australian Dollar.

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 did not impair any exploration expenditure during the financial year 30 June 2020 (2019: $18,659). 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 2020, the Group has capitalised exploration expenditure of $2,464,830 (2019: $2,418,542) 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 2020 because the directors do not believe that it is appropriate to regard realisations of future income tax benefits.

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 11.

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.

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

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 to 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 of the financial 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 (except for trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except for those carried ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss. Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the receivables do not contain a significant financing component in accordance with AASB 15.

Classification and subsequent measurement

All financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs.

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

  • amortised cost;

  • fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and

  • fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).

Classifications are determined by both:

  • The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets; and

  • The entities business model for managing the financial asset.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):

  • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

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

h) Financial instruments (cont’d)

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity instruments)

The Group measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and

  • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset.

For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI.

Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, gains and losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment

From 1 July 2019, the Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

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, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating 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.

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

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.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

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.

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

  • l) Provisions and employee leave benefits(cont’d)

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 2020, the Company had no employees.

m) Revenue and other income

Revenue is recognised when or as performance obligation in the contract with the customer has been satisfied, i.e., when the control of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

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.

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.

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

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. Sharebased 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 BlackScholes 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 22 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) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

A ASB 16 Leases

The Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards and has adopted the mandatory accounting standard AASB 16; Leases as of 1st July 2019.

Changes in Accounting Policies

Under AASB 16, any leases that the Group has need to be recognised in the balance sheet. Under this standard, an asset (right of use asset) and a lease liability are to be recognised. The only exemptions are short-term leases and low value leases.

Initial Application of AASB 16; Leases

The Group has assessed that there are no leases to be recognised in the balance sheet at the reporting date. The current lease of the Group is a short-term office lease. Renewal of this lease is dependent on business condition at the time of renewal. The Board has assessed that at this point, it is not certain that the lease will be renewed.

u) Accounting standards not yet effective

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 financial statements. The Board expects no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

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 2020 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.

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.

9. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (Cont’d)

Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group. As at 30 June 2020, there are no receivables that are past due but not impaired (2019: Nil).The balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms are considered to be of high credit quality.

There is uncertainty as to the recoverability of the deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure assets of Eclipse Metals Limited at their stated values. The recoverability of the deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure assets is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas.

No person entitled to exercise these options had or has any right by virtue of the option to participate in any share issue of any other body corporate.

Shares issued on exercise of options

There were no options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: Nil).

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.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable and loans. The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk (consisting of interest rate risk and market price risk).

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

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

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.

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 cash equivalents. 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 financial instrument exposed 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 2020, 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 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated 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 2020 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 Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 2(b) to the consolidated financial statements, which describes the consolidated financial statements being prepared on a going concern basis. For the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the Group incurred loss after income tax of $319,132 and in net cash outflows from operating activities of $319,657. At 30 June 2020, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $961,860.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its planned exploration, administration and other commitments is dependent upon the Group raising further working capital and/or successfully exploiting its mineral assets. In the event that the Group is not successful in raising further capital or successful exploiting its mineral assets, the Group may not be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and the realisable value of the Group’s current and non-current assets may be significantly less than book values.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

==> picture [199 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

==> picture [114 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

Emphasis of Matter – Carrying Value of Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Asset

We draw attention in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements which describes the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure asset. The Group had exploration and evaluation expenditure assets which amounted to $2,464,830 as at 30 June 2020. The recoverability of the Group’s carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure assets is dependent on the successful commercial exploitation of the assets and/or sale of the assets to generate sufficient funds to recoup at least the carried values.

In the event that the Group is not successful in commercial exploitation and/or sale of the assets, the realisable value of the Group’s exploration and evaluation expenditure assets may be significantly less than their current carrying values.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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.

We have determined no key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

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 2020 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 opinion thereon.

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In 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 scepticism throughout the audit. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.

==> picture [114 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

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 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.

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 17 to 20 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Eclipse Metals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
