Eclipse Metals Limited

Directors’ report

The directors of Eclipse Metals Limited (“the Company”) submit herewith the operations and financial report of Eclipse Metals Limited and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) for the half-year ended 31 December 2017. In order to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 , the directors report as follows:

Directors

Mr Carl Popal Mr Rodney Dale Mr Craig Hall

Operating Results

The loss for the Group for the half-year ended 31 December 2017, after providing for income tax, amounted to $264,096 compared with a loss of $199,234 for the half-year ended 31 December 2016.

Principal activities

The main focus of the Group was on tenement maintenance, initiating and supporting field exploration and planning for future activities. The Group also started onsite drilling on its Mary Valley Project.

Annual General Meeting

The Company held its annual general meeting on 6[th] November 2017 (“AGM”). All resolutions put to shareholders were passed.

Highlights

  • Diamond drilling commenced on Mary Valley Manganese project in December 2017

  • Replacement tenements applied for to cover Liverpool tenure in NT

QUEENSLAND – MARY VALLEY MANGANESE PROJECT

Following recent reductions in area, Eclipse now holds around 74sqkm in three EPM’s centred 14km southwest of Gympie in Queensland covering the most prospective manganese mineralisation in the district (Figure 1). The Company believes that these deposits have potential to produce manganese as a Direct Shipping Ore (DSO).

On-site checking of anomalous geophysical gravity survey results determined that there may be significant extensions to known mineralisation, in particular at Amamoor and Eel Creek which prospects are now considered high priority drill targets (refer ASX releases dated 15 March 2017 and 8 June 2017). A program of diamond drilling commenced on 19 December 2017 on the Eel Creek prospect.

Metallurgical characterisation of samples collected earlier in the year determined that most of the beneficiated products appear to be suitable for ferroalloy smelting. Concentrate phosphorous contents are all acceptably low, being below the 0.2% limit generally imposed.

NORTHERN TERRITORY

DEVILS ELBOW- RIO TINTO FARM-IN / JV ELA 27584

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 was unable to facilitate this site survey prior to the commencement of the wet season in the Northern Territory and this activity is now expected to take place in the 2018 field season. Following the results of the site survey a final meeting will be planned with the NLC Executive for endorsement of these areas by Traditional Owners.

NORTHERN TERRITORY: OTHER TENEMENTS

Replacement applications (ELA’s 31770-31772) for some Liverpool tenure were submitted during the quarter. Applications for the Flying Fox and Pozieres areas were relinquished. No field activity was performed during the quarter (refer Figure 2 ).

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

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Eclipse Metals Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, condensed notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration for Eclipse Metals Limited (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises both Eclipse Metals Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled during the half year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

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

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Eclipse Metals Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Whilst we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our review was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

Our review did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by the directors or management.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

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

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , has been provided to the directors of Eclipse Metals Limited on 12 March 2018.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Eclipse Metals Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 3 of the financial report, which describes the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure of 2,265,772.

The recoverability of the consolidated entity’s carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on the successful commercial exploitation of these assets and/or sale of these assets to generate amounts at least equivalent to their book values. In the event that the consolidated entity is not successful in the commercial exploitation and/or sale of the assets, the realisable value of the consolidated entity’s assets may be significantly less than their current carrying values.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Eclipse Metals Limited

Condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2017

1. Significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 ‘ Interim Financial Reporting’ . The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2017 together with any public announcements made during the following half-year.

The half-year financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 12 March 2018.

a. Basis of preparation

These general purpose interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Eclipse Metals Limited and its controlled entities (referred to as the "Consolidated Group" or "Group"). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group.

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary courses of business. For the half year ended 31 December 2017 the Group incurred a loss of $264,096 (31 December 2016: loss $199,234). Based upon the Group’s existing cash resources of $983,046 (30 June 2017: $1,256,398) and the ability to modify expenditure outlays if required, and to source additional funds, the Directors consider there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable, and therefore the going concern basis of preparation is considered to be appropriate for the Group’s 31 December 2017 half year financial report. The Board of Directors is aware, having prepared a cashflow forecast, of the Group’s working capital requirements and the need to access additional equity funding or asset divestment if required within the next 12 months. In the event that the Group is not able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the normal course of business and perhaps at amounts different to those stated in its financial report.

b. Accounting Policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements. The Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards but determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material.

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.

8. Segment information

The Group operates in one business segment and one geographical segment, namely the mineral exploration industry in Australia. AASB 8 ‘ Operating Segments ’ states that similar operating segments can be aggregated to form one reportable segment. Also, based on the quantitative thresholds included in AASB 8, there is only one reportable segment, namely the mineral exploration industry. However, none of the other operating segments currently meet any of the prescribed quantitative thresholds and as such do not have to be reported separately. Eclipse Metals Limited has therefore decided to aggregate all its reporting segments into one reportable operating segment.

The revenues and results of this segment are those of the Group and are set out in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The segment assets and liabilities of this segment are those of the Group and are set out in the consolidated statement of financial position.
