Financial Results
During the period the Company made a loss of $552,239 (loss of $855,496 in December 2018). As at 31 December 2019, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $1,595,369 (30 June 2019: $2,022,957) and net assets of $4,331,922 (30 June 2019: $4,433,544).
Review of Operations
Throughout the reporting period, the Company has advanced its strategy of becoming a leading diversified exploration company by completing the acquisition of its Peruvian Gold project and by executing multiple disciplined exploration campaigns across its’ projects.
In conjunction with its European exploration programs, the Company completed a significant acquisition in Peru, by acquiring 100% of the Yanamina Gold Project. The Yanamina Gold Project presented a rare opportunity for the Company in which such an advanced gold project with exploration upside and the potential for near term production was able to be acquired with minimal upfront cost. The project provides shareholders with a balanced diversification from the Company’s European lithium projects in Serbia and Austria, and provides a cost effective exposure to the gold market in the current strong climate for that metal.
The objective of the exploration programs carried out during the half year at Rekovac and Vranje-South was to gain a better understanding of the projects’ geology and result in generating drill targets for both pegmatite style mineralisation, as well as sediment hosted Lithium-Boron type deposits. During the reporting period, the programs carried out by the Company’s exploration teams have added to the understanding of the various projects and in identifying the most promising areas for follow up work and drill target location. These works culminated in the Company commencing its first drilling program at its Rekovac project in Serbia during February 2020.
Yanamina – Gold & Silver, Peru (100%)
Work during the half-year period focused on the acquisition of the Yanamina gold project located in Peru. On 16 September 2019, the Company announced that it had executed a term sheet for the purchase of the Yanamina Gold Project. Following this announcement, on 10 December 2019 the Company signed a sale and purchase agreement with Wealth Minerals Limited to acquire Minera Wealth Peru S.A.C. On 31 December 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Minera Wealth Peru S.A.C, the holder of five concessions known as the Yanamina Gold Project.

Directors’ Report
==> picture [62 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
The Yanamina Project is a low sulphidation epithermal gold and silver resource with favorable geology, ore body geometry and metallurgical characteristics. The project is located in north-central Peru in the Department of Ancash, province of Huaylas, District of Caraz, and lies approximately 16km east of the town of Caraz.
As announced on 10 February 2020, the Company has reported a total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource, estimated in accordance with the guidelines set out by the JORC Code (2012) with respect to the Yanamina project. The estimated total resources at the lower cut-off grade of 0.5g/t gold (“Au”) are 6,742,260 tonnes @ 1.23g/t gold and 4.31 g/t silver for 265,987 ounces of contained gold, and 934,528 ounces of contained silver (“Ag”), confirming Yanamina as a significant bulk mining development opportunity with strong economic potential.[1] This study has identified lateral and at depth exploration potential to expand the existing resource outline. Additionally, this study has also highlighted a significant exploration target in the down faulted hanging wall that bounds the upper part of the resource.
Rekovac – Lithium & Borate, Serbia (100%)
On 7 August 2019, the Company provided an update on detailed soil and rock chip sampling on the Rekovac project area. During the soil-sampling program, the Company collected 291 soil samples over entire project area. The assays results returned with elevated Li and B values with up to 342 ppm of boron and up to 149 ppm of lithium. Elevated lithium and boron values were related to the exposed lower Miocene lacustrine sediments exposed on southern and central part of the project area.[2]
In conjunction with the soil-sampling program, the Company collected 26 rock samples from exposed lower Miocene sediments in an attempt to identify evidence of sources of the elevated Li and B values in soil samples. The assays results returned with elevated Li and B values with up to 100 ppm of boron and up to 280 ppm of lithium.[ 3] During sampling program, the Company also identified presences of scattered spherical nodules and pseudomorphs, which are most likely replacing evaporate minerals within the fine pelitic sediments. XRD analyses of selected samples indicated the presence of two evaporate minerals; Dolomite and Analcime, both of which are considered to being indicators of a saline-alkaline environment.
In parallel with the sampling program the Company acquired regional gravity and magnetic survey data sets from a local contractor who re-interpreted the data with the objective to outline underlying basin geometry and defining thickness of sedimentary sequences.
During the reporting period the Company provided an operation update for Rekovac and confirmed that it had initiated preparatory activities in advance of a scout drilling program. The drilling program is currently ongoing having commenced in February 2020, and is designed to test a gravity low in the northern portion of the Rekovac license and will include up to two drill holes between 500 to 600 meters each.
Vranje-South – Lithium & Borate, Serbia (100%)
During the reporting period the Company provided an update on detailed sampling of outcroppings sediments and acquisition and interpretation of regional gravity and magnetic survey data on the Vranje-South project in Serbia. The main objective from the follow-up field program was to identify sources of elevated lithium and boron values from the soil sampling within the Vranje sedimentary basin. During field work the Company collected 28 rock chip samples. The assays results returned with elevated Li and B values with up to 430 ppm of boron and up to 180 ppm of lithium.[ 4] Regional gravity and

magnetic data sets were acquired to assist in defining basin geometry and thickness of sedimentary formations as well as presences of calk-alkaline volcanic formations that may be a source of lithium and boron.
Corporate
During the half-year the Company appointed Mr Dejan Jovanovic as General Manager of Exploration, commencing 1 October 2019. Mr Jovanovic has over 12 years of experience managing complex geological projects focusing on exploration and development. Mr Jovanovic has held numerous positions throughout his career including roles most notably with Rio Tinto, Serbia where he worked on Rio Tinto’s jadar lithium-borate deposit; senior exploration roles with Lithium Li Ltd / Pan Global Resources Inc serving as a key leadership capacity for exploration programs in the Balkans. Mr Jovanovic has also acted as a consulting geologist to various clients including European Lithium and he has extensive experience working with a variety of mineral commodities including lithium, borates, gold, cobalt, nickel and rare earths.
The Company has also completed a placement of 44,444,444 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.009, totaling $400,000 (before costs), with capital used to fund the acquisition of the Yanamina Project, to review the project’s data and to verify the historical estimates of mineral resources.
As the Company completed its acquisition of the Yanamina project during the half year, it changed its name from Jadar Lithium Limited to Jadar Resources Limited, to reflect the diversification of assets into gold.
On 18 November 2019 Mr Stefan Müller resigned as Non-Executive Director of Jadar. The Company thanked Mr Müller for the tremendous support provided for the Company in Europe, which has strengthened its shareholder base.
Significant Events After the Balance Date
Subsequent to period end the following key events have occurred:
On 10 February 2020 the Company announced its Maiden Mineral JORC Resource Estimate for the Yanamina Gold Project at the lower cut-off grade of 0.5g/t gold (“Au”) as 6,742,260 tonnes @ 1.23g/t gold and 4.31 g/t silver for 265,987 ounces of contained gold, and 934,528 ounces of contained silver (“Ag”), confirming Yanamina as a significant bulk mining development opportunity with strong economic potential.[5]
In addition, subsequent to balance date, the Company has commenced a diamond drill program for two holes, each between 500 and 600 meters at the Rekovac Project in Central Serbia, targeting Lower Miocene Strata. The results of the drilling program will form part of the Group’s decision to renew its Serbian tenements which are scheduled for renewal in April 2020.
Other than the above-mentioned events, there are no other subsequent events to date.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Reporting Entity
Jadar Resources Limited is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial statement of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2019 comprises the Company and its controlled entities (together referred to as the consolidated entity).
This interim financial report was issued on 13 March 2020 by the directors of the Company.
(b) Statement of Compliance
The half-year consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
These half-year financial statements do not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, they cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Company as in the full financial report.
It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2019 and any public announcements made by Jadar Resources Limited during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
(c) Basis of Preparation
The half-year report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. 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 statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The Accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this half-year financial report are consistent with those followed in preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 July 2019 applied retrospectively. The adoption of these Standards and Interpretations has had no material impact.
Estimates and Judgements
When preparing the Interim Financial Statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the Interim Financial Statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in the Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2019
==> picture [62 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
(c) Basis of Preparation (Continued)
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The adoption of new accounting standards applicable to the Group for the first time in 2019 has not had a material impact on the financial statements.
AASB 16 ‘Leases’
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. This standard replaces the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117 ‘Leases and related Interpretations’. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirements for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases typically. Refer below for detailed accounting policy adopted under AASB 16.
The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lessee to retrospectively apply the Standard to comparatives in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospectively apply the Standard to comparatives in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application. The Group has chosen to retrospectively apply the Standard to the comparatives, however no restatement has been required given the Group did not have any lease arrangements in place in the comparative period.
Lease policy - With the exception of leases with terms of less than 12 months and leases relating to low-value 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.
Going concern basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Whilst acknowledging the inherent uncertainties of progressing to profitable mining operations and managing working capital requirements, the Directors consider this to be appropriate.
For the half-year ended 31 December 2019 the Group recorded a loss of $552,239 (31 December 2018: $855,496 loss), a net working capital surplus of $1,475,830 (30 June 2019: surplus of $1,968,550) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $413,694 (31 December 2018: $294,721).
The Directors are mindful of the Company’s working capital requirements and cognisant of its developed capital management program that will provide funding to maximize the potential of its current asset portfolio and the newly acquired gold assets and provide a strong base for increasing shareholder value. Based on the forecasts and achieving the future financing, the directors consider the basis of going concern to be appropriate. The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is also dependent upon the successful exploitation of its mineral tenements and progression of its exploration activities into a successful production stage.

(c) Basis of Preparation (Continued)
Should the entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.

8. Loss Per Share
Both the basic and diluted loss per share have been calculated using the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company (Jadar Resources Limited) as the numerator, ie, no adjustments to losses were necessary during the six month periods to 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018. The weighted average number of shares for the purposes of the calculation of diluted loss per share can be reconciled to the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic loss per share as follows:
| Basic and diluted loss per share: Losses used to calculate basic and diluted EPS Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period used in calculating basic EPS Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period used in calculating dilutive EPS |
31 December 2019 $ 31 December 2018 $ |
|---|---|
| (556,889) (855,496) 482,371,994 389,530,536 482,371,994 389,530,536 |
Anti-dilutive options and performance rights have not been used in the EPS calculation. As at 31 December 2019 there were 125,250,000 options and 18,000,000 performance rights on issue.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Jadar Resources Limited
Report on the review of the half year financial report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half year financial report of Jadar Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, and the consolidated condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated condensed statement of changes in equity and consolidated condensed statement of cash flows for the half year ended on that date, a description of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half year financial report of Jadar Resources Limited does not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the half year ended on that date, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting .
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1(c) in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $552,239 during the half year ended 31 December 2019 and, as of that date, the Group's net cash outflows from operating activities were $413,694. The events as stated in Note 1(c), along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(c), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Directors’ responsibility for the half year financial report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s 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 Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 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 Jadar Resources 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.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
