Chairman’s Letter
==> picture [127 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [209 x 236] intentionally omitted <==
Dear EV Resources shareholders. It is with great pleasure that I present the 2024 Annual Report for EV Resources Limited (ASX: EVR ) ( EV Resources or the Company ).
The 2024 Financial Year has been one of delivery on all objectives for the Parag and Don Enrique projects in Peru. Delivery and execution are the essential life of any mining company and in this regard, the achievements with community agreements, drill permits, and successful drilling have been an outstanding success within time frames few could match.
In my last report I mentioned our internal culture is one where we place great pride in a “hands on” management culture. This has delivered the outcomes we planned, and we are grateful to Gonzalo Lemuz, our Head of Exploration, Giorgio Albertini our Legal Counsel and our Lima based management team.
Conditions for junior mining companies on the ASX have been extremely challenging in this Financial Year, with many companies experiencing difficulties in raising capital and maintaining valuations on the share market that reflect the value of their projects.
Your Company has felt this as much as any other company. We remain resolute in our conviction that copper-based portfolios are the correct position for a serious mining company against a background of ageing mines and declining head grades in the industry. The identification of
market-leading grades of copper product molybdenum (and more recently silver) strengthen the Parag project as an enviable project for a junior miner to hold. Our research during this year which we have published on our website www.evresources.com.au has increased our conviction that molybdenum is an important and growing industry that is utterly dependent upon the fortunes of the copper industry in the Americas. The strength of molybdenum pricing in the period under review is impressive. Prices traded consistently above US$22.00/lb in the second half of the year which represents a metal approximately five times more valuable than copper.
It does seem perplexing that copper focused companies on the ASX have not been embraced by investors at a time of widely held international concern over future supplies, rising costs and scarce new projects. This only encourages us that the copper industry will see new price highs in the next Financial Year after scaling levels of above US$11,000 per tonne in May 2024, before retreating in the latter weeks of the period under review.
It has been extremely pleasing, as Chairman to witness the exciting execution of the Company’s strategic plan in the 2024 Financial Year. Your continued support through the year is greatly appreciated, and I hope that the Company will continue to provide value to its shareholders in the year ahead. I would also like to thank my fellow board members, especially our Managing Director, Mr Hugh Callaghan. Under his leadership, the Company has been able to advance these very prospective projects, leading a world class in-country team; my thanks to all of them.
I would also like to thank our corporate management team and consultants for all their hard work over the past year.
Yours Sincerely,
Luke Martino Non-Executive Chairman

Review of Operations
==> picture [127 x 22] intentionally omitted <==
Review of Operations
The 2024 Financial Year was a year that our management team will look back on with pride, as a year we delivered upon our strategic and operating plans to transition the company to a copper company at a time when the global copper industry needs new discoveries and projects – and when the strength of molybdenum pricing confirmed a need for new sources of molybdenum.
During the period under review, the Company focused on the Parag and Don Enrique projects in Peru.
Parag Copper Molybdenum Project (EVR 70%)
EVR closed the transaction to acquire 70% of the project in early August 2023, and immediately embarked upon an intensive community relations and drill permitting programme. This proved highly successful, and the Company was gratified to forge agreements with surrounding communities for a 5-year period and commit to a programme of investment in the community. We share a deep conviction that communities are at the front and centre of our day-to-day activities and our support from the communities is cherished.
EVR was able to secure permits that allowed drilling, before the end of December 2023. It would be hard to overstate what an achievement this was for our Lima based management team.
EVR commenced drilling at the end of January 2024, in the rainy season which presents a number of challenges. The immaculate safety record of our drilling contractor AK Drilling is to be commended. The dedication, determination and fortitude of our team in managing and executing the programme and moving core to the core shed with an impeccable safety record was remarkable.
EVR released the results of the 1980 metre diamond drilling campaign during the latter stages of the year under review. The results exceeded expectations and produced not only lengthy high grade intercepts of copper and molybdenum from the Trinchera Este breccia, but also demonstrated significant intercepts of adjacent porphyry intrusive high grade mineralisation which suggests a shallower porphyry system than previously thought to be the case.

Review of Operations

The assays also revealed the presence of silver in quantities that are significant as silver prices traded consistently at or above US$30/oz in the latter stages of the period under review. Further work will be done on reviewing silver from old drill cores in the early stages of the next Financial Year.
Six of the outcropping breccia structures have been drilled to date, of which Trinchera Esta is the smallest. Evidence of the strongly mineralised surrounding porphyry intrusive rocks is similar to that identified 1200 metres to the west at the Paylacocha breccia and suggests the potential scale of the system at surface will include far more mineralisation than the high grade breccias.

Don Enrique Copper Project (EVR 50%)
EVR spent the early part of the 2024 Financial Year working on community relations and drill permitting, and have established excellent relations with the local community, with whom a multi-year agreement was reached. Drill permitting approval in late October 2023 was a welcome achievement, and a number of roads and drill pads were prepared for a maiden drilling programme later in 2024.
During the latter half of the year under review, EVR agreed a one year extension of the option (to 4th May 2025) to purchase the remaining 50% of the project for US$850,000, in return for a commitment to either spend US$500,000 during the option period, or make a US$100,000 payment to the JV partner at the end of the option period. EVR is planning to drill at Don Enrique in the second half of calendar year 2024.
EVR secured by way of application, the “Estrella” licence to the west of Don Enrique after noting that the large chargeability high anomaly appears to extend west into this area. This is a follow up target for mapping and IP later in calendar year 2024.

The securities trading policy details acceptable and unacceptable times for trading in Company Securities including detailing potential civil and criminal penalties for misuse of “inside information”.
Any Director, executive or key management personnel wishing to trade in the Company’s securities must consult the Chairman and Company Secretary to gain approval to trade and ensure that trading restrictions are not in force. All trades by Directors during the financial year were conducted in compliance with the Company’s securities trading policy. The Directors are responsible for disclosure to the market of all transactions or contracts involving the Company’s shares.
Likely Future Developments
The Company’s strategy is to increase shareholder value by maximising the value of its exploration assets in Australia, Austria, Peru and United States.
The Group intends to continue to undertake appropriate exploration and evaluation activities sufficient to maintain tenure of its exploration licences as well as determine the technical prospectively of the projects, until such time that informed decisions can be made in order to commercially exploit or relinquish them.
Indemnifying Officers
During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the Directors of the Company (as named above), the company secretary, and all executive officers of the Company and of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such a Director, secretary or executive officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.
The Company has not otherwise, during or since the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor.
Environmental Regulations
The Company’s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulation under the Law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory of Australia. However, the group’s operations in the Austria, Peru, and United States are subject to environmental regulations under the Austrian, Peruvian, and United State laws. The group has a policy of complying with its environmental performance obligations and at the date of this report, it is not aware of any breach of such regulations.

RISK MANAGEMENT
The Directors are responsible for ensuring that risks and opportunities are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with these risks and opportunities. The Board’s collective experience will generally enable identification of the principal risks that may affect the Company’s business. The Company has a Risk Management Policy for oversight and management of material business risks. Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.
The Company operates in a changing environment and is therefore subject to factors and business risks that will affect future performance.
Set out below are the principal risks and uncertainties that could have a material effect on EV Resources’ future results, both operationally and financially. It is not possible to determine the likelihood of these risks occurring with any certainty. In the event that one or more of these risks materialise, EV Resources’ reputation, strategy, business, operations, financial condition and future performance could be materially and adversely affected. There may also be other risks that are currently unknown or are deemed immaterial, but which may subsequently become known and/or material. These may individually or in aggregate adversely affect EV Resources.
Company specific
Exploration Risk
Mining exploration and development is a high risk undertaking. The success of the Company depends on the delineation of economically minable reserves and resources, access to required development capital, movement in the price of commodities, securing and maintaining title to the Company's exploration and mining tenements and obtaining all consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of its exploration activities.
Tenure, access and grant of applications
The Company’s operations are subject to receiving and maintaining licences and permits from appropriate governmental authorities. There is no assurance that delays will not occur in connection with obtaining all necessary renewals of licences/permits from the existing operations, additional licences/permits for any possible future changes to operations, or additional permits associated with new legislation.
Future capital requirements
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the Company’s projects are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash should be adequate to fund its business activities in the short term.
In order to successfully develop the Company’s projects and for production to commence, the Company will require further financing in the future. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.
Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the
EV Resources Limited ABN 66 009 144 503 – Annual Report 2024
16
Directors’ Report
==> picture [127 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
Company's activities including resulting in the tenements being subject to forfeiture, and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company may undertake additional offerings of Shares and of securities convertible into Shares in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company's existing Shareholders will be diluted.
Operational risks
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including:
-
(a) failure to locate or identify mineral deposits;
-
(b) failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining;
-
(c) operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining;
-
(d) insufficient or unreliable infrastructure, such as power, water and transport;
-
(e) difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment;
-
(f) mechanical failure or plant breakdown;
-
(g) unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs;
-
(h) adverse weather conditions;
-
(i) industrial and environmental accidents;
-
(j) industrial disputes; and
-
(k) unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
In the event that any of these potential risks eventuate, the Company’s operational and financial performance may be adversely affected.
Government regulation and political risk in the mining industry
The Company’s operating activities are subject to the laws and regulations of Austria, Australia, United States and Peru governing expropriation of property, health and worker safety, employment standards, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine development, land and water use, prospecting, mineral production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health standards, toxic wastes, the protection of endangered and protected species and other matters.
Where required, obtaining necessary permits and licences can be a complex, time consuming process and the Company cannot be sure whether any necessary permits will be obtainable on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could stop or materially delay or restrict the Company or its subsidiaries from proceeding with any future exploration or development of its properties. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in interruption or closure of exploration, development or mining operations or material fines, penalties or other liabilities.
Environmental risk
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds.
Exploration and mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral
EV Resources Limited ABN 66 009 144 503 – Annual Report 2024
17
Directors’ Report
==> picture [127 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on the Company’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations. The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the Company’s operations more expensive.
Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities in most instances. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities.
Mine development risk
Possible future development of a mining operation at any of the Company’s future projects is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services. If the Company commences production, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement of hazardous weather conditions and fires, explosions or accidents. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development or mining of its projects and treatment of ore.
Metallurgy
Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process, and by its nature contain elements of significant risk such as:
-
(a) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
-
(b) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
-
(c) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal/mineral recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.
EV Resources Limited ABN 66 009 144 503 – Annual Report 2024
18
Directors’ Report
==> picture [127 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
Insurance risks
The Company insures its operations in accordance with industry practice. There are significant exploration and operating risks associated with exploring for minerals, including adverse weather conditions, environmental risks and fire, all of which can result in injury to persons as well as damage to or destruction of the extraction plant, equipment, production facilities and other property. In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries will be subject to liability for environmental risks such as pollution and abuse of the environment. The occurrences of a significant event against which the Company is not fully insured could have a material adverse effect on its operations and financial performance. In addition, in the future some or all of the Company’s insurance coverage may become unavailable or prohibitively expensive.
Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risk
If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macroeconomic factors. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas expenditures of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian, Austrian and Peruvian currency, as well as United States dollars, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and other currencies as determined in international markets. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in exchange rates could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations, financial position (including revenue and profitability) and performance. The Company may undertake measures, where deemed necessary by the Board, to mitigate such risks.
Market risks
Regulatory risks
The Company will incur ongoing costs and obligations associated with compliance with necessary regulations. Regulatory areas which are of particular significance to the Company include environmental compliance and rehabilitation, mining, taxation, employee relations, worker health and safety, waste disposal, native title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities. Any failure to comply with regulations may result in additional costs for corrective measures, penalties or in restrictions on the Company's proposed business operations. In addition, changes in regulations could require extensive changes to the Company's operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
General risks
Share Price
The price at which Securities are quoted on the ASX may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. There is no assurance that the price of the Securities will increase, even if the Company’s
EV Resources Limited ABN 66 009 144 503 – Annual Report 2024
19
Directors’ Report
==> picture [127 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
earnings increase. Some of the factors which may affect the price of the Securities include fluctuations in the domestic and international market for listed stocks, general economic conditions including interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, commodity and oil prices, changes to government fiscal, monetary or regulatory policies, legislation or regulation, inclusion in or removal from market indices, the addition or departure of key personnel, actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Company’s results and recommendations of analysts in relation to those results, fluctuations in the industry in which the Company operates and general operational and business risks.
Other factors which may negatively affect investor sentiment and influence the Company specifically or the stock market more generally include acts of terrorism, an outbreak of international hostilities or fires, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars and other natural disasters.
Bribery, corruption, or other improper acts
The Company may incur fines or penalties, damage to its reputation or suffer other adverse consequences if its Directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, service providers or business partners violate, or are alleged to have violated, anti-bribery and corruption laws in Australia, Austria, Peru, United States or any of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company cannot guarantee that its internal policies and controls will be effective in each case to ensure that it is protected from reckless or criminal acts committed by its Directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, service providers or business partners that would violate Australian, Austrian, American, Peruvian laws or the laws of any other country in which the Company operates.
Any such improper actions could subject the Company to civil or criminal investigations in these countries or any other county that could lead to substantial civil or criminal monetary and nonmonetary penalties against the Company, and could damage the Company’s reputation. Even the allegation or appearance of improper or illegal actions could damage the Company’s reputation and result in significant expenditures in investigating and responding to such actions and may in turn have an adverse effect on the Company’s future financial performance and position.
Tax rules
Tax law is complex and is subject to regular change. Changes in tax law, including various proposed but as yet not enacted changes in tax law may adversely impact the Company’s future financial performance and position. Resulting changes in tax arrangements may adversely impact the Company’s future financial performance and position. In addition, future changes to other laws and regulations or accounting standards, which apply to the Company from time to time, could materially adversely affect the Company’s future financial performance and position.
Litigation risks
The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. None of the Company, nor its subsidiaries are currently engaged in any litigation.
Economic Risks
General economic conditions, movements in commodity prices, interest and inflation rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s securities regardless of
EV Resources Limited ABN 66 009 144 503 – Annual Report 2024
20
Directors’ Report
==> picture [127 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(a) general economic outlook;
-
(b) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(c) currency fluctuations;
-
(d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors (such as the exploration industry or the battery metals sector within that industry);
-
(e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(f) terrorism or other hostilities.
Force Majeure
The Company, now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, extreme weather conditions, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
Enforcing liabilities against assets outside of Australia may be difficult. As a result, it may be difficult to enforce judgments obtained in Australian courts against those assets outside of Australia. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of any other jurisdictions in which the Company operates would recognise or enforce judgments of Australian courts obtained against the Company based on provisions of the laws of Australia. Furthermore, because some of the Company’s assets are or will be located outside Australia, it may also be difficult to access those assets to satisfy an award entered against the Company in Australia.
Acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies, assets or projects complementary to the Company’s then operations. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, assets and projects, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving the short term operational goals and retaining key staff and customer and supplier relationships.
Policies and legislation
Any material adverse changes in government policies or legislation of Australia or any other country that the Company has economic interests may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.
Proceedings on behalf of the Company
No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group or intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or any part of those proceedings. The Group was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This remuneration report, which forms part of the directors’ report, sets out information about the remuneration of the Company’s directors and key management personnel for the financial year ended 30 June 2024. The key management personnel of the Company include the Directors and other officers of the Company. For the purposes of this report “key management personnel” are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company.
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Remuneration Policy
The Company’s guiding principles for remuneration strategy used throughout the financial year 2024 recognises that:
-
§ Remuneration must be strongly linked to Company performance;
-
§ Remuneration must be competitive to enable the Company to attract and retain quality individuals who are capable and motivated to deliver results for shareholders;
-
§ Remuneration must provide significant incentive to deliver superior performance against the Company’s strategy and key business goals;
-
§ Remuneration must be fair and competitive with both peers and competitor employers; and
-
§ Remuneration must be transparent to shareholders.
The nature and amount of remuneration for the non-executive Directors and executives depends on the nature of the role and market rates for the position, with the assistance of external surveys and reports, and taking into account the experience and qualifications of each individual. The Board ensures that the remuneration of key management personnel is competitive and reasonable. Fees and payments to the non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are
EV Resources Limited ABN 66 009 144 503 – Annual Report 2024
22
Directors’ Report
==> picture [127 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
made on, and the responsibilities of the Directors. Director’s fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board.
In undertaking a review of the performance of both directors and executives, consideration is given to the respective performance of the person during the review period; however, there are no prescribed performance measures or hurdles connected with the level of remuneration.
The Company’s Nomination and Remuneration Committee has responsibility and oversight for making recommendations to the Board regarding remuneration for directors and employees.
The Company will continue to monitor its remuneration framework against market benchmarks and ensure that the linkages between remuneration and company performance remain strong by linking return to shareholders to meaningful remuneration outcomes via the use of performance rights vesting upon share price outcomes.
Key Developments
Given the current size, nature and risks of the Company, having the ability to offer incentive options and performance rights is useful to attract and retain directors and executives. The grant of such options or rights is at the discretion of the Board and subject, as appropriate, to shareholder approval. The Board believes participation in the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan (incentive scheme) motivates key management and executives with the long-term interests of shareholders. Please refer to further in this report for details on awards made under this plan during the year.
Director fixed based fees have remained unchanged during 2024 financial year.
Obtaining and considering shareholder feedback on remuneration strategies remains a core focus of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee.
Engagement of Remuneration Consultants
During the financial year, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants to review the Key Management Personnel remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2024.
Directors’ Remuneration
Directors are remunerated by way of fixed fees and the award of performance based Long Term Incentives (LTI) through the award of Performance Rights and Performance Shares under the Company’s Performance Rights and Option Plan, as approved by Shareholders.
Director remuneration is reviewed periodically. Fees paid to directors are determined with reference to:
-
§ the nature of the role, responsibilities and time commitment, including membership of board committees;
-
§ the personal performance, skills and experience of the individual;
-
§ the individual’s overall contribution to the success of the business;
-
§ industry benchmarking data and market conditions; and
-
§ the need to attract a diverse and well-balanced group of individuals with relevant experience and knowledge.
Fixed fees for the 2024 financial year were as follows:
- § Managing Director $240,000 § Executive Directors: $120,000 § Non-executive Directors $48,000
EV Resources Limited ABN 66 009 144 503 – Annual Report 2024

Directors’ Report
==> picture [127 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
The Non-Executive Directors’ fees are approved by the Board within the aggregate approved by the shareholders at a general meeting. The fee pool currently stands at $350,000 as approved at the Company’s AGM in November 2019.
The Company does not provide retirement benefits, however Directors may salary sacrifice an element of their total remuneration to superannuation. In addition, the Board seeks shareholder approval for any options or performance rights that may be issued to Directors.
The amount of aggregate remuneration and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed periodically. Shareholder approval is sought where there is a proposed change in the total remuneration paid to Non-executive Directors, together with the award of securities to Directors.
The Board considers the Company’s particular circumstances as well as the fees paid to Executive and Non-executive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the review process and determining the nature and amount of key management remuneration.

Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $3,308,234 during the year ended 30 June 2024, and as of that date, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its total assets by $1,397,970. As at 30 June 2024 the Company recorded cash outflows from operating and investing activities totalling $5,073,509. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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.
In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
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 2024, 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 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:
a) the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement); and

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability 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 have 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.

1. Statement of Material Accounting Policies
(a) Reporting Entity
EV Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The company is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing financial statements. The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2024 comprises the Company and its controlled entities (together referred to as the “Group”).
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 30 September 2024.
(b)Statement of Compliance
The financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
(c) Basis of Preparation
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical cost, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financials assets and financial liabilities. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The Company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.
Going Concern Basis of Preparation
The Group recorded a loss of $3,572,196 for the 30 June 2024 financial year (30 June 2023: loss of $5,398,532) and a cash balance of $403,186 (30 June 2023: $513,841), a net working capital deficit of $1,397,970 (30 June 2023: $99,247 surplus), a net cash outflows from operating activities of $2,616,699 (30 June 2023: $1,933,555) and net cash outflow from investing activities of $2,456,810 (30 June 20232: $2,493,349).
The Group’s financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The ability of the Group to continue to as a going concern is dependent on a number of matters including:
-
The continued financial support of directors who have provided short term loans to the Group and have agreed to not require the Group to repay amounts owing to them of $1.493 million until such time as funds are available or have otherwise agreed to have the amounts payable to them satisfied by way of a share issue (subject to shareholder approval); and
-
The imminent need for the successful raising of equity funding sufficient to sustain planned operations; and/or
-
The potential creation of a joint venture for certain projects; and/or
-
The undertaking of a partial sale of the Group’s projects.
In the event the Group is unable to achieve further successful capital raising this will result in the scaling back of exploration activities or create a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and accordingly to realise its assets and

Notes To and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2024

extinguish its liabilities in the ordinary course of the operations and at amounts to those stated in the financial statements.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets carrying amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.
(d)Principles of Consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2024. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June.
All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation in full. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
(e) Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore 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 unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, 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, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

39
Notes To and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2024
==> picture [126 x 22] intentionally omitted <==
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 not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a 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 legally enforceable right of setoff exists, 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.
(f) Plant & Equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future consolidated benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| Class of Fixed Asset | Depreciation Rate |
|---|---|
| Office Furniture | 6% - 40% |
| Office Equipment | 12.5% - 40% |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in profit or loss.

==> picture [126 x 22] intentionally omitted <==
(g) Leases
Lease policy - With the exception of leases with terms of less than 12 months and leases relating to lowvalue assets, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognised in relation to all leases. The lease liabilities are recognised at the present value of the lease payments that are remaining to be paid and include, where applicable, any payments applicable under extension options expected to be exercised. The right-of-use assets are initially recognised as the amount of the initial lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before commencement, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred, and an estimate of costs of dismantling, removing or restoring the asset that are required to be incurred under the terms of the lease. The right-of-use asset is then depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
(h)Financial Instruments
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A Financial liability is recognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and measurement
i. Financial assets Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).
Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments accounted for at amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss (FTVPL).
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the objective of the financial asset is to hold and collect its contractual cash flows and 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 using the effective interest method.
Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorized at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interests are accounted for a FTVPL.
ii. Financial liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments.
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 FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments).

Notes To and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2024
==> picture [126 x 22] intentionally omitted <==
(i) Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value through profit and loss (FTVPL) except for derivatives designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedge relationships, which require a specific accounting treatment. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging relationship must meet the following requirements:
-
There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument
-
The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship
-
The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.
(j) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
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.
(k)Exploration and evaluation
Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:
-
i. the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
-
ii. at least one of the following conditions is also met:
-
a. the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
-
b. exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest is continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Notes To and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2024
==> picture [126 x 22] intentionally omitted <==
Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.
(l) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary consolidated environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the yearend exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
§ Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
-
§ Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
-
§ Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.
(m) Employee Entitlements
Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related oncosts. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
(n)Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of one month or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

43
Notes To and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2024
==> picture [126 x 22] intentionally omitted <==
(o) Revenue and Grant Income
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
(p) Trade and Other Creditors
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(q)Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(r) Earnings Per Share
-
§ Basic earnings per share: Basic earnings per share are determined by dividing the net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
-
§ Diluted earnings per share: Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings 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 consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(s) Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using appropriate valuation models.
(t) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(u)Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical knowledge and experience, best available information and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The critical accounting estimates and judgements applicable to this financial report are as follows:
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recovered or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable

44
Notes To and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2024
==> picture [126 x 22] intentionally omitted <==
assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the Directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded. Such capitalised expenditure is carried at reporting date at nil value.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of EV Resources Limited. The current operating segments of the Group are Australia, Austria, Peru and United States.
(v) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Directors have reviewed all Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the year ended 30 June 2024. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies. There are expected to be material impacts from AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements: AASB 18 replaces AASB 101 as the standard describing the primary financial statements and sets out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in AASB-compliant financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.

2. Financial Risk Management Policies
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise mainly of deposits with banks, receivable and payables.
The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate and currency risk in accordance with the Group's financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group's financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.
Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below.
a. Treasury Risk Management
Due to the size of the Group, responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board of Directors. This includes the use of hedging derivative instruments, credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. The level of activity during the financial year did not warrant using derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures.
b. Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The Group’s activities expose it to financial risks, market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The level of activity during the financial year did not warrant using derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures. Where relevant and appropriate, the Company will avail itself of appropriate hedging instruments in future financial years.
c. Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
As a result of operations in Australia, Austria, Peru and United States, the Group’s statement of financial position can be affected by movements in the EUR/AUD, PEN/AUD, MXN/AUD, USD/AUD, and exchange rates. The Group also has transaction currency exposure. Such exposure arises from purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency.
The following table details the Group’s exposure at the reporting date to foreign exchange risk arising from recognized assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency to which they relate.

The percentage change is the expected overall volatility of the significant currencies, which is based on management’s assessment of reasonable possible fluctuations taking into consideration movements over the last 12 months each year.
d. Credit Risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at reporting date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group did not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors at reporting date.
e. Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to fund the Group’s activities. The Directors regularly monitor the Company’s cash position and on an on-going basis consider a number of strategic initiatives to ensure that adequate funding continues to be available.
The table below reflects all contractually fixed pay-offs and receivables for settlement, repayments and interest resulting from recognised financial assets and liabilities. The undiscounted cash flows for the respective upcoming fiscal years are presented. Cash flows for financial assets and liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2024.
Maturity analysis of financial assets and liability based on management’s expectation The risk implied from the values shown in the table below, reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. Trade payables and other financial liabilities mainly originate from the financing of the day to day operations of the group. These assets are considered in the group’s overall liquidity risk.

f. Interest Rate Risk
From time to time the Group has significant interest bearing assets, but they are as results of the timing of equity raisings and capital expenditure rather than a reliance on interest income. The interest rate risk arises on the rise and fall of interest rates. The Group’s income and operating cash flows are not expected to be materially exposed to changes in market interest rates in the future and the expose to interest rates is limited to the cash and cash equivalents balances.
At reporting date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:
| Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Net exposure |
2024 $ 2023 $ 403,186 513,841 |
|---|---|
| 403,186 513,841 |
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date.
At 30 June 2024, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:
| Judgments of reasonably possible movements: Consolidated +/- 1% in interest rates on cash +/- 1% in interest rates on loan Net impact |
Post Tax Profit Higher/(Lower) Equity Higher/(Lower) 2024 $ 2023 $ 2024 $ 2023 $ 4,585 27,273 4,585 27,273 (6,811) - (6,811) - |
|---|---|
| (2,226) - (2,226) - |
The movements in profit are due to higher/lower interest costs from variable rate cash balances. The movements are reasonable with reference to the historical interest rate fluctuations.
f. Price Risk
The Group's exposure to commodity and equity securities price risk is minimal at present.

Income tax benefit due to timing differences not brought to account. Deferred tax liability is reduced to nil by benefits attributable to tax losses not brought to account. The potential tax benefit will only be obtained if:
-
i. The consolidated entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;
-
ii. The consolidated entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and
-
iii. No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated entity in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.
The Consolidated Entity’s ability to realise and recognise the deferred tax asset in future periods is dependent on the Entity satisfying the “Continuity of Ownership” or “Same Business” tests.

- During the 2024FY, the Company assessed the viability of the Shaw River project and has written off the balance of the full investment.
During the 2023FY, the Company chose to consolidate its land position over the New Standard Copper Project in Arizona, and prioritised the eastern bloc of the Project, close to the former Pride Mine, where mapping and sampling produced a considerable number of high grade samples. This resulted in pegging additional licences (owned 100%) and ceasing with the licences mentioned above, resulting in a writeoff of $433,216. The project was renamed the La Cienega Project.

Performance Rights Valuation
The fair value of the services received in return for PRs granted are measured by reference to the fair value of the PRs granted. The fair value of the services is recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is determined by multiplying the fair value per PR by the number of PRs expected to vest.
The probability of achieving market performance conditions is incorporated into the determination of the fair value per PR. No adjustment is made to the expense for PRs that fail to meet the market condition. The number of PRs expected to vest based on achievement of operational conditions, are adjusted over the vesting period in determining the expense to be recognised in the consolidated income statement. In order to convert PRs, the holders are required to be continually engaged with the Group at the time of achieving the performance hurdles.
In determining the fair value of PRs granted during the financial year ended 30 June 2022, the Company applied the Black-Scholes model, used an exercise price of nil and a dividend yield of nil. The volatility is determined based on the historical volatility. Other inputs in relation to options and PRs are:

Performance Shares Valuation
The fair value of the services received in return for PSs granted are measured by reference to the fair value of the PSs granted. The fair value of the services is recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is determined by multiplying the fair value per PS by the number of PSs expected to vest.
Unlike market conditions, non-market conditions (e.g. declaring a resource) are not considered when estimating the fair value of a share-based payment. For non-market conditions, an entity should recognise the goods or services it has acquired during the vesting period based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. It should revise that estimate, if necessary, where subsequent information indicates that the number of equity instruments expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Finally, on the vesting date, the entity should revise the estimate to equal the number of equity instruments that actually vest.
In determining the fair value of PSs granted during the financial year ended 30 June 2024, the Company has applied Black-Scholes model, used an exercise price of nil and a dividend yield of nil. The volatility is determined based on the historical volatility. Other inputs in relation to options and PSs are:
