DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Directors present their financial report for the consolidated entity consisting of Fenix Resources Limited ( Company or Fenix ) and the entities it controls ( Consolidated Entity or Group ) at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2021.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Company made significant progress on the Iron Ridge iron ore project ( Iron Ridge Project or the Project ) in Western Australia’s Mid-West, which culminated in production commencing in December 2020 and the first shipment dispatched in February 2021.

IRON RIDGE PROJECT - OPERATIONS

Mining and Production

Following a positive final investment decision in September 2020, on 21 December 2020, the Company announced that production had commenced at the Iron Ridge Project, with Lump and Fines products being stockpiled at the Port of Geraldton in preparation for the first shipment, which subsequently took place in February 2021.

Subsequent to the maiden shipment, eight additional ships were successfully loaded in the reporting period, resulting in more than half a million tonnes of product shipped from the Iron Ridge Project.

Average grade shipped was 61.2% Fe for fines and 63.9% Fe for lump product, exceeding expectations and the Ore Reserve model.

The average lump to fines ratio of 52.5%:47.5%, is significantly higher than the life-of-mine assumed average of 25%:75%. This increased proportion of lump production coincided with a period of record lump premium prices, enhancing financial performance during the period. Fenix continues to expect a reversion to previously assumed levels as the planned pit deepens.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)

A. INTRODUCTION

The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to align Director and Management objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component, and offering specific short-term and long-term incentives, based on key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results. Key performance areas include cash flow management, growth in share price, successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group’s tenements. The Company believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best Management and Directors to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence between Directors, Executives and Shareholders.

During the year the Company has engaged remuneration consultants. As at the date of this report the review and development of the Remuneration Framework is ongoing.

The Board has established a Remuneration Committee ( Committee ) which operated in accordance with its charter as approved by the Board. The Committee currently comprises of two independent Non-Executive Directors and one nonindependent Non-Executive Director.

The primary purpose of the Committee is to support and advise the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to Shareholders by:

  • ensuring competitive and reasonable remuneration, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent;

  • aligning remuneration to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of Shareholder value; and

  • ensuring transparent policies which are easily understood and acceptable to Shareholders.

At the 2020 annual general meeting, the Company’s remuneration report was passed by the requisite majority of Shareholders (100% by way of poll).

E. REMUNERATION STRUCTURE

Executive remuneration structure

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Senior Executives of the Group is as follows. The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for Executive Directors and other Senior Executives, was developed and approved by the Board. All Executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits, options and performance incentives. The Board reviews Executive packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance, Executive performance, and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share option and performance rights plans. If an Executive is invited to participate in an employee share option or performance rights plan arrangement, the issue and vesting of any equity securities will be dependent on performance conditions relating to the executive’s role, a tenure based milestone and the Group’s performance.

The employees of the Group receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the Government, which for the 2021 financial year was 9.5% and from 1 July 2021 is 10%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

Short term incentive awards

During the year the Board proposed a cash-based short-term incentive for the Managing Director equal to 50% of his Total Fixed Remuneration (base salary plus superannuation) on measurement date.

The short-term incentive was subject to the following key performance indicators, measured at 30 June 2021:

  • 20% based on acceptable safety, environmental, heritage and community performance as judged by the Board

  • 40% based on first shipment before 28 February 2021

  • 40% based on positive operating cashflow from 1 January to 30 June 2021

Non-Executive remuneration structure

Fees and payment to Non-Executive Directors reflects the demands that are made on them and the responsibilities of the Directors from time to time.

Non-Executive Directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. For the year ended 30 June 2021, remuneration for a Non-Executive Director/Chairman was between $50,000 and $144,000 per annum exclusive of superannuation. There are no termination or retirement benefits paid to Non-Executive Directors (other than statutory superannuation). Total remuneration for all Non-Executive Directors was last voted on by Shareholders on 30 November 2010, whereby it is not to exceed $300,000 per annum. Directors’ fees cover all normal Board activities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)

A Director may also be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine, if a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs duties outside the scope of the normal duties of a Director. A Director may also be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of their directorship or any special duties.

At the date of this report the Company has not entered into any agreements with Non-Executive Directors which include performance-based components.

Non-Executive Directors are able to participate in the employee share option or performance rights plans. In addition, in order to align their interests with those of shareholders, the Non-Executive Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.

The Company has established an employee options plan ( Plan ) to attract Directors with suitable qualifications, skills and experience to plan, carry out and evaluate the Company’s Strategy and to motivate and retain those Directors and Employees. Participants in the Plan may be Directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other related body corporate of the Company.

During the year the Company has engaged remuneration consultants. As at the date of this report the review and development of the Remuneration Framework is ongoing.

At the 2020 annual general meeting, the resolution relating to the adoption of the remuneration report was passed by way of poll.

F. EXECUTIVE SERVICE AGREEMENTS

Remuneration and other terms of employment for key management personnel are formalised in service agreements. The service agreements specify the components of remuneration, benefits and notice periods. Participation in the share and performance rights plans are subject to the Board's discretion. Other major provisions of the agreements relating to remuneration are set out below. Termination benefits are within the limits set by the Corporations Act 2001 such that they do not require shareholder approval.

  • 2 Performance rights can only be converted if they have vested. Upon conversion each performance right is convertible into one ordinary share which will rank equally with all other issued ordinary shares.

  • 3 The value of performance rights granted are calculated in accordance with AASB2 Share based Payments at grant date. Refer to Note 22 of the financial statements for details of the assumptions used in calculating the value of each performance right as at their grant date.

  • 4 Performance rights have been split equally into 4 tranches with a continuous service condition. Each tranche will vest on completion of any of the below milestones: Milestone 1 The Company entering into a binding offtake with a third party for the purchase from the Company of a minimum combined total of 6,000,000 tonnes of iron ore produced from the Iron Ridge Project;

  • Milestone 2 Completion of a feasibility study that derives a Net Present Value (NPV) (utilising a discount rate of 10%) of the Iron Ridge Project of not less than $50 million and is signed off and validated by an independent consultant and agreed by the Board;

  • Milestone 3 Securing necessary funding to commence production at the Iron Ridge Project, including via equity or debt (or a combination of both) or other funding mechanism such as joint venture or forward payments on offtake agreement;

  • Delineating a material resource upgrade at the Iron Ridge Project of:

  • Milestone 4 An initial upgrade of the existing JORC-code compliant resource to a total of not less than 6Mt @65% Fe at a cut-off grade of no less than 50% Fe with at least 60% of the total resource categorised in at least the Indicated category in accordance with the JORC Code (2012); and

  • Milestone 5 A further upgrade of the JORC-code compliant resource to a total of not less than 8Mt @65% Fe at a cut-off grade of no less than 50% Fe with at least 60% of the total resource categorised in at least the Indicated category in accordance with the JORC Code (2012);

Milestone 6 Obtaining all environmental and mining licence approvals necessary to commence mining at the Iron Ridge Project.

The performance rights were issued to incentivise KMP as part of their remuneration package. The performance rights were issued to encourage continued improvement in the performance of the Company and individuals, as well as to provide a method to share in the added value created contributing to the attainment of the results. The issue of the performance rights is appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best Management and Directors to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence between Directors, Executives and Shareholders.

6 OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group has two reportable segments, being the Iron Ridge Project and Trucking Joint Venture. This determination is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board (chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the Group and its production activities. The Group achieved operating status for the Iron Ridge Project on 21 December 2020, reaching production for accounting purposes. During the prior year, the Group only had one operating segment, being mineral exploration of the Iron Ridge Project. Prior year comparatives have been updated to show the Trucking Joint Venture, which was considered immaterial during the prior year.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

7 INVENTORIES (continued)

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. At the reporting date, all inventory on hand is valued at cost (30 June 2020: nil inventory).

No provision was required to write down inventories to their recoverable value at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: nil inventory).

Accounting estimates and judgements

Inventory valuation

Accounting for inventory involves the use of judgements and estimates, particularly related to the measurement and valuation of inventory on hand within the production process. Certain estimates, including expected metal recoveries and work in progress volumes, are calculated by engineers using available industry, engineering and scientific data.

Estimates used are periodically reassessed by the Group after considering technical analysis and historical performance. Changes in estimates are adjusted for on a prospective basis.

Net realisable value and classification of inventory

The assessment of the net realisable value and classification of inventory involves significant judgements and estimates in relation to timing and cost of processing, commodity prices, recoveries and the likely timing of sale of the ore produced. A change in any of these assumptions will alter the estimated net realisable value and may therefore impact the carrying amount of inventory.

The current year tax rate has changed from 27.5% to 30%. The different tax rate will result in a difference between the net deferred tax assets unrecognised (see Note 9) and the tax loss not brought to account as a deferred tax asset now utilised.

As at 30 June 2021 the franking account balance is nil.

Significant accounting judgments and estimates

Income tax classification

Judgements: The Group's accounting policy for taxation, including royalty-related taxation, requires judgement as to the types of arrangements considered to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost.

Uncertain tax matters

Judgements: Judgements apply about the application of income tax legislation and its interaction with income tax accounting principles. These judgements are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of tax assets and tax liabilities, including deferred tax, recognised on the balance sheet and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised.

Where the final tax outcomes are different from the amounts that were initially recorded, these differences impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which the determination is made.

Measurement of uncertain tax and royalty matters considers a range of possible outcomes, including assessments received from tax authorities. Where management is of the view that potential liabilities have a low probability of crystallising, or it is not possible to quantify them reliably, they are disclosed as contingent liabilities.

Significant accounting judgments and estimates

Deferred tax

Judgements: Judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that are recognised based on the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits. Judgement is applied in recognising deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences in investments.

Estimates: The Group assesses the recoverability of recognised and unrecognised deferred taxes, including losses on a consistent basis, using estimates and assumptions relating to projected earnings and cash flows as applied in the Group impairment process for associated operations.

12 LOAN RECEIVABLE (continued)

Accounting estimates and judgements

Impairment of financial assets

AASB 9 requires that credit losses on financial assets are measured and recognised using the 'expected credit loss (ECL) approach. AASB 9’s impairment requirements use forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses. Instruments within the scope of the requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

  • financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and

  • financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).

‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category (i.e. Stage 1) while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category (i.e. Stage 2).

Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument. The Directors have reviewed the forecasts of the Joint Venture and consider the cash flows to be sufficient to settle the obligations to the company and no expected credit loss has been recorded.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

Units of production method

Where the useful life of an asset is directly linked to the extraction of ore from a mine, the asset is depreciated using the units of production method. The units of production method results in depreciation and amortisation charges proportional to the depletion of the estimated ore reserve of the mine. The unit of account used in the calculation is tonnes of ore.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

The carrying values of items of exploration and evaluation expenditure are reviewed for impairment indicators when reclassified from to mine properties under development or at each reporting date and are subject to impairment testing when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. There is no impairment during for the year ended 30 June 2021.

Significant accounting judgement

Capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Group has capitalised significant exploration and evaluation expenditure on the basis that this is expected to be recouped through future successful development (or alternatively sale) of the areas of interest concerned or on the basis that it is not yet possible to assess whether it will be recouped.

Reclassification to mine properties under development

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable and a management decision to invest further has been made, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mine properties under development.

15 INTEREST IN JOINT VENTURE

Accounting estimates and judgements

Rehabilitation and mine closure

The provision recognised for rehabilitation and mine closure costs relating to the Iron Ridge Project represents the discounted value of the present obligation to restore, dismantle and rehabilitate certain items of mine properties, property, plant and equipment and to rehabilitate the site.

As the discounted value reflects a combination of an assessment of the nature and extent of the work required, the future cost of performing the work required, the timing of cash flows and the discount rate, then changes to one or more of these assumptions is likely to result in changes to the carrying amount of the provision and the related rehabilitation asset and costs and may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided.

Accounting estimates and judgements

Leases

The application of AASB 16 requires judgements that affect the valuation of lease liabilities and right of use assets. In addition to the critical judgements and areas of estimation uncertainty discussed below, the following judgements and estimations need to be considered when assessing leases:

  • determination of stand-alone prices of lease and non-lease components, whether remeasurement or a separate lease is required following a change in lease terms and conditions, and whether variable payments are insubstance fixed or not to be included in the calculation of the lease liability; and

  • assessments of whether a purchase option will be exercised, or an right of use asset is impaired.

Identifying a lease

Identifying whether a contract is, or contains, a lease involves the exercise of judgement about whether:

  • the contract depends on a specified asset;

  • the Group obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and has the right to direct the use of the asset; and

  • the contract is perpetual or for a period of time over which the underlying assets are to be used.

Determining the lease term

The following assessments impact the lease term which may significantly affect the amount of lease liabilities and right of use assets recognised.

Extension and termination options

The Group applies judgement in determining whether it is reasonably certain to exercise extension or termination options, by considering all relevant factors that could provide an economic incentive to exercise these options.

FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED

  • 39 -

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

18 LEASE LIABILITIES (continued)

Non-cancellable period

In determining the lease term, the assessment of a contract following the contractual non-cancellable period needs to consider the substance of the contract and whether any economic penalties exist which may affect the term of the noncancellable period.

Determining the incremental borrowing rate

Where the Group (or Group entity) cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, it uses its incremental borrowing rate to measure lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right of use asset in a similar economic environment. Therefore, as the incremental borrowing rate reflects what the Group would have to pay, estimation is required when no observable rates are available or when observable rates need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease.

19 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

This note provides an update on the judgements and estimates made by the Group in determining the fair values of the financial instruments since the last annual financial report.

Fair value hierarchy

To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group classifies its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. At 30 June 2021 and 2020, no such assets or liabilities were recorded at fair value.

There were no transfers between levels during the period. The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities held by the Group must be estimated for recognition, measurement and/or disclosure purposes.

The Group measures fair values by level, per the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

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

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

The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

The Group did not have any financial instruments that are recognised in the financial statements where their carrying value differed from the fair value. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The carrying amounts of cash and short-term trade and other receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their fair values largely due to the short-term maturities of these payments.

The fair value of options issued is measured by reference to the value of the goods or services received. The fair value of services received in return for share options granted to Directors, Employees and Consultants is measured by reference to the fair value of options granted. The fair value of services received by Advisors couldn’t be reliably measured and are therefore measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The estimate of the fair value of the services is measured based on a Black-Scholes option valuation methodology. The life of the options including early exercise options are built into the option model. The fair value of the options are expensed over the expected vesting period.

No options have been granted during the reporting period.

The total expense arising from options issued during the reporting period as part of share-based payments expense was nil (30 June 2020: $332,966).

(b) Performance rights

The Company’s Performance Rights Plan was approved and adopted by Shareholders on 10 September 2018. Each performance right will vest as an entitlement to one fully paid ordinary share upon achievement of certain performance milestones. If the performance milestones are not met, the performance rights will lapse, and the eligible participant will have no entitlement to any shares.

Performance rights are not listed and carry no dividend or voting rights. Upon exercise each performance right is convertible into one fully paid ordinary share to rank pari passu in all respects with existing fully paid ordinary shares.

The Company notes that on 9 April 2020, 9 June 2020 and 23 July 2020 performance rights granted on 19 February 2019 were cancelled for nil consideration following cessation of eligible participants’ employment with the Company. The cancellation of vested performance rights did not impact the amount recognised for services received over the vesting period. The cancellation of unvested performance rights was accounted for as a reversal of previously recognised expense during the prior reporting period.

A share-based payment expense has been recognised over the respective vesting periods.

(c) Performance shares

On 22 November 2018 the Company issued 55,000,000 shares and 112,500,000 performance shares to the vendors of Prometheus Mining Pty Ltd in consideration for the acquisition of 100% of the mining lease M20/118-I.

Performance shares were split between four milestones, being 15 million under Milestone A, 30 million under Milestone B, 37.5 million under Milestone C and 30 million under Milestone D. On achievement of the milestones each performance share will convert into one ordinary fully paid share, if the milestones are not achieved the performance shares consolidate and entitle each holder to one ordinary fully paid share per holder per milestone. There are a total of 11 holders of the performance shares.

Milestones are as follows:

  • Milestone A On declaration of an Inferred Mineral Resource of not less than 8 million tonnes of iron ore at 65% Fe grade in accordance with the JORC Code of 2012 within 6 months from commencement of drilling on the Tenement.

  • Milestone B On achievement of 1,000,000 tonnes cumulative of shipped iron ore production from the Tenement at an Operating Margin of greater than US$15 per dry metric tonne shipped within the earlier of 24 months from commencement of mining on the Tenement and 60 months from the Settlement Date.

  • Milestone C On achievement of 2,000,000 tonnes cumulative of shipped iron ore production from the Tenement at an Operating Margin of greater than US$15 per dry metric tonne shipped within the earlier of 36 months from commencement of mining on the Tenement and 60 months from the Settlement Date.

Milestone D On achievement of 3,000,000 tonnes cumulative of shipped iron ore production from the Tenement at an Operating Margin of greater than US$15 per dry metric tonne shipped within the earlier of 48 months from commencement of mining on the Tenement and 60 months from the Settlement Date.

The fair value of consideration is by reference to the fair value of the share and performance shares issues in connection with the acquisition.

The fair value of the shares issued is determined by reference to the share price on grant date, based on the fair value price ($0.04 per share).

The fair value of the performance shares was determined using a share option pricing model, after assigning a probability of achievement this was determined to be $0. An assigned average of 8.6% probability of achievement in relation to the performance hurdles. An assessment that the performance hurdles are unlikely to be met has been made and as a result the value of these rights was recorded as $0.

On 9 July 2019, the Company advised that 15,000,000 Class A Performance Shares had not met the requirement for conversion and, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Performance Shares, all unconverted Class A Performance Shares held by the each holder were automatically consolidated into one Share each. As a result, during the prior year 11 ordinary fully paid shares were issued to holders of the performance shares (see Note 20(a)).

(d) Share capital to vendors

During the financial period:

  • On 25 August 2020, 2,500,000 shares issued in part consideration for Mining Co-operation and Benefits Agreement with the Wajarri Yamatji Native Title group. The fair value of the shares recognised was by direct reference to the closing price on 24 August 2020 which amounted to $462,500. This amount has been recognised in the Statement of Financial Position under Mine properties under development.

Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

Estimation of fair value of share-based payments

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 the Black-Scholes or Monte-Carlo model taking into account the assumptions detailed within this note.

Probability of vesting conditions being achieved

Inputs to pricing models may require an estimation of reasonable expectations about achievement of future vesting conditions. Vesting conditions must be satisfied for the counterparty to become entitled to receive cash, other assets or equity instruments of the entity, under a share-based payment arrangement.

Vesting conditions include service conditions, which require the other party to complete a specified period of service, and performance conditions, which require specified performance targets to be met (such as a specified increase in the entity's profit over a specified period of time) or completion of performance hurdles.

The Group recognises an amount for the goods or services received during the vesting period based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest and shall revise that estimate, if necessary, if subsequent information indicates that the number of equity instruments expected to vest differs from previous estimates. On vesting date, the entity shall revise the estimate to equal the number of equity instruments that ultimately vested.

The achievement of future vesting conditions are reassessed each reporting period.

23 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Overview

The financial risks that arise during the normal course of the Group’s operations comprise market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. In managing financial risk, it is policy to seek a balance between the potential adverse effects of financial risks on financial performance and position, and the "upside" potential made possible by exposure to these risks and by taking into account the costs and expected benefits of the various risk management methods available to manage them.

General objectives, policies and processes

The Board is responsible for approving policies on risk oversight and management and ensuring management has developed and implemented effective risk management and internal control. The Board receives reports as required from the Managing Director in which they review the effectiveness of the processes implemented and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. The Board oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced.

These disclosures are not, nor are they intended to be an exhaustive list of risks to which the Group is exposed.

(a) Market Risk

Market risk can arise from the Group’s use of interest-bearing financial instruments and exposure to commodity prices. It is a risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rate (foreign exchange risk) and fluctuations in commodity prices (commodity price risk).

(i) Interest rate risk

The Board manages the Group's exposure to interest rate risk by regularly assessing exposure, taking into account funding requirements and selecting appropriate instruments to manage its exposure. As at the 30 June 2021, the Group has interest-bearing assets, being cash at bank and borrowings (30 June 2020 cash at bank).

As such, the Group's income and operating cash flows is not highly dependent on material changes in market interest rates.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group does not consider this to be a material risk/exposure to the Group and have therefore not undertaken any further analysis.

The weighted average effective interest rate of funds on deposit is 0.30% (30 June 2020: 0.43%).

23 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(ii) Foreign exchange risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from fluctuations in the US dollar.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency. The Group manages risk by matching receipts and payments in the same currency and monitoring movements in exchange rates. The exposure to risks is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows:

2021 2020
US US
$ $
Financial assets
Cash 8,578,857 -
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables 1,425,976 -

Sensitivity analysis

A hypothetical change of 10% in the US dollar exchange rate was used to calculate the Group's sensitivity to foreign exchange rate movements as the Company’s estimate of possible rate movements over the coming year taking into account current market conditions and past volatility.

A weakening of the US dollar by 10%, with all other variables held constant, would decrease the Group's equity and profit after taxation by $538,648 (2020: nil). These sensitivities should not be used to forecast the future effect of movement in the Australian dollar exchange rate on future cash flows.

(iii) Commodity price risk

The risk associated with commodity prices is managed as part of the portfolio risk management strategy. Substantially all of the Group's commodity production is sold on market-based index pricing terms. The Group has not use derivatives on the commodity production sold.

The relationship between commodity prices and foreign currencies is complex and movements in foreign exchange rates can impact commodity prices.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with financial institutions, as well as trade receivables. Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. For cash balances held with bank or financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘AA-’ are accepted.

The Board are of the opinion that the credit risk arising as a result of the concentration of the Group's assets is more than offset by the potential benefits gained.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the assets as summarised, none of which are impaired or past due.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. Through continuous monitoring of forecast and actual cash flows the Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves to meet future cash needs. The decision on how the Group will raise future capital will depend on market conditions existing at that time.

(d) Capital risk management

The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern. This is to provide returns for shareholders, benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Board monitors capital on an ad-hoc basis. No formal targets are in place for return on capital or gearing ratios.

25 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies.

This Note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity and items which are more likely to be materially adjusted. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in the Notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The areas involving significant estimates or judgements are:

  • Inventory valuation – Note 7;

  • Income tax classification – Note 8;

  • Uncertain tax matters – Note 8;

  • Units of production amortisation method – Note 13;

  • Impairment of assets – Note 14;

  • Capitalisation of exploration expenditure – Note 14;

  • Reclassification to mine properties under development – Note 14;

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

34 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

Fenix Resources Limited ( Company or Fenix ) is a company incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. Fenix Resources Limited is the ultimate parent entity of the Group.

The consolidated financial statements of Fenix Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 comprise the Company and its controlled subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group and individually as Group entities ).

Statement of compliance

These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001 . Fenix Resources Limited is a forprofit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs and do not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Critical accounting estimates and significant judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within Note 25.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

IFRIC has published two agenda decisions clarifying how arrangements in respect of a specific part of cloud technology, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), should be accounted for. The Company has taken the guidance for cloud computing into account for the year ended 30 June 2021 with no significant impact on the current or prior periods

The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the Group’s accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior years.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2021 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. The group's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting period and in the foreseeable future.

Accounting Policies

In order to assist in the understanding of the financial statements, the following summary explains the principle accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of the financial report. These policies have been applied consistently to all of the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Principles of Consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries of the Company at the end of the reporting period. Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Where a subsidiary has entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities is included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of subsidiaries is contained in Note 28 to the financial statements.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated in full on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of financial position.

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021

Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in Note 34(i).

Changes in ownership interests

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Fenix Resources Limited.

When the Group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

(b) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker, which has been identified by the Company as the Board.

(c) Foreign Currency Translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (‘the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Fenix Resources Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

  • income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

  • all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange difference is reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

(d) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.

Revenue for other business activities is recognised on the following basis:

Iron Ore Sales

The Group generates revenue from the sale of iron ore. Revenue is recognised at a point in time when control of the promised goods or services passes to the customer. In most instances, control passes when the goods are delivered to a destination specified by the customer, typically on board the customer's appointed vessel. The amount of revenue recognised reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods.

Where the Group's sales invoices are provisionally priced at the date of shipment, a subsequent final invoice, which is typically once the vessel has arrived at its destination, is issued and adjustments arise as a consequence of changes in moisture or ore quality.

Interest income

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

(e) Inventories

Ore stockpiles are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and comprises mining costs, direct materials, direct labour, haulage, depreciation and an appropriate proportion of project overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(f) Income Tax and Other Taxes

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provision where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Fenix Resources Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(g) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

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

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

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

FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED

  • 59 -

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

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

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

(h) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

The Group’s policy with respect to exploration and evaluation expenditure is to use the area of interest method.

This method allows the costs associated with the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of a prospect to be aggregated on the consolidated statement of financial position and matched against the benefits derived from commercial production once this commences.

Costs

Exploration lease acquisition costs relating to exploration provinces are initially capitalised and then amortised over the shorter term of the lease or the expected life of the project.

All other exploration and evaluation costs, including general permit activity, geological and geophysical costs and new venture activity costs are charged as expenses as incurred except where:

  • such evaluation costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or

  • exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.

Areas of interest are recognised at permit level. Subsequent to the recognition of an area of interest, all further costs relating to the Area of Interest are initially capitalised. Each area of interest is reviewed at least bi-annually to determine whether economic quantities of reserves exist or whether further exploration and evaluation work is required to support the continued carry forward of capitalised costs. To the extent it is considered that the relevant expenditure will not be recovered, it is written off.

In the statement of cash flows, those cash flows associated with the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure are classified as cash flows used in investing activities exploration and evaluation expenditure expensed is classified as cash flows used in operating activities.

Future restoration costs

The Group’s aim is to avoid or minimise environmental impacts resulting from its operations and reviews work scope and cost estimates for restoration annually.

Provision is made in the consolidated statement of financial position for the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations to restore operating locations in the period in which the obligation arises. The estimated costs are capitalised as part of the cost of the related project where recognition occurs in the operating locations. The costs are then recognised as an expense on a units of production basis during the production phase of the project.

(i) Impairment of Assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s values in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs.

When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

As assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had the impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at the revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised

carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(j) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cash in bank accounts, money market investments readily convertible to cash within two working days, and bank bills but net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(k) Trade and Other Receivables

Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful debts. Current receivables for GST are due for settlement within 30 days and other current receivables within 12 months.

(l) Investments and Other Financial Assets

Investments and other financial assets

Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

  • those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss), and

  • those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Impairment

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied

depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

(m) Mine Properties, Property Plant And Equipment

Recognition and measurement

Mine properties, property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Items of mine properties, property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost at the date of acquisition when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be reliably measured. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only where it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

The assets' residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is immediately written down 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 and are recognised in profit or loss.

Mine properties under development

Mine properties under development represents the costs incurred in preparing mines for production and includes plant and equipment under construction and operating costs incurred before production commences.

Pre-production revenues are offset against capitalised preproduction costs.

Once production commences, these costs are transferred to property, plant and equipment and mine properties as appropriate, and are depreciated and amortised using the units of production method based on the estimated economically recoverable resource contained in the mine plan to be extracted to which they relate or are written off if the mine property is abandoned.

Mine properties

Mine properties represent the accumulation of all preproduction expenditure incurred in relation to areas of interest for which the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources are demonstrable.

FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED

  • 61 -

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

Production is deemed to commence when the mine assets are installed and ready for use in the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. These costs are capitalised to the extent they are expected to be recouped through the successful exploitation of the related mining leases.

Mine properties include:

  • Capitalised expenditure in relation to exploration, evaluation, feasibility, and acquisition costs incurred on projects for which the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable.

  • The cost of rehabilitation and mine closure relating to assets reflected in mine properties.

  • Capitalised development and production stripping costs.

  • Pre-production operating costs, net of pre-production revenue, previously accumulated and carried forward in mine properties under development, transferred to mine properties in relation to areas of interest in which mining has now commenced.

  • Associated mine infrastructure including access roads, evaporation ponds, tailings facility and the airstrip.

  • Mining contractor mobilisation costs.

Mine properties are amortised on a units of production basis over the economically recoverable ore reserve contained in the relevant mine plan.

When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of a mine property after the commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the mine property only when it is probable that the additional future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. Otherwise, such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production.

Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use (ROU) assets, representing the Group's right to use an underlying leased asset for the lease term, are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

Mine properties are amortised on a units of production basis over the life of the estimated ore reserve of the mine.

Units of production method

Where the useful life of an asset is directly linked to the extraction of ore from a mine, the asset is depreciated using the units of production method. The units of production method results in depreciation and amortisation charges proportional to the depletion of the estimated ore reserve of the mine. The unit of account used in the calculation is tonnes of ore.

(n) Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

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 economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced.

Depreciation is calculated using both the diminishing value and straight-line methods to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives:

  • Office equipment 2 - 20 years

  • Field Equipment 3 - 20 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

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 carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.

(o) Leases

Lease assessment

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation commences when an asset is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Depreciation of assets is calculated using either the straight-line method or units of production method to allocate the assets' cost, net of residual values, over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Mine-related plant and equipment is depreciated on a units of production basis, except for assets with a useful life less than the life of mine, for which the straight-line method is applied. Nonmine-related plant and equipment is depreciated on a straightline basis. The depreciation rates used when applying the straight-line method vary between 5% to 50% per annum.

Applying the definition of a lease

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease, by determining whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Control is considered to exist if the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified asset over which the supplier does not have a substantive substitution right, and the right to direct the use of that asset throughout the period of use.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

Lease term

The lease term is the non-cancellable term of the lease and any periods covered by:

  • an extension option, if that option is reasonably certain to be exercised, and;

  • a termination option, if that option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

Non-lease components

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the consideration in the contract is allocated to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices, unless an election is made to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Non-lease components are excluded from future lease payments and recognised separately as incurred as operating expenses on a straight-line basis in profit or loss.

Initial recognition

Leases are recognised as an ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability at the commencement date, which is the date the leased asset is available for use by the Group.

  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;

  • amounts payable under residual value guarantees; and

  • payments arising from purchase, extension, or termination options reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group.

Variable lease payments not dependent on an index or a rate, for example, variable lease payments linked to the use of an underlying asset, are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities, and are recognised as operating expenses in profit or loss as incurred.

Subsequent measurement

The lease liability is subsequently measured on an amortised cost basis using the effective interest method, where the lease liability is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced by the lease payments made, over the lease term.

Interest expense is recognised as interest expense on lease liabilities in profit or loss over the lease term, on the remaining lease liability balance for each period.

Remeasurement

Lease liabilities are remeasured if:

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

All leases are accounted for by recognising an ROU asset and a lease liability except for:

  • short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and which do not contain a purchase option) and;

  • leases of low-value assets.

Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as incurred as operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term in profit or loss.

  • there is a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease; or

  • there are changes in: the lease term; the assessment to exercise a purchase option; amounts payable under a residual guarantee; in-substance fixed payments; or future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate.

A revised discount rate is applied when there is a change in the assessment to exercise a purchase option, the lease term or floating interest rates. A corresponding adjustment is recognised in the ROU asset, or in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the ROU asset has been reduced to nil.

Lease liabilities

ROU assets

Initial measurement

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments to be paid after the commencement date over the lease term, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined.

The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate (IBR) is the rate the Group would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. To determine the IBR, the Group obtains external interest rate advice and adjusts the interest rates to reflect the lease conditions and the underlying asset.

ROU assets, representing the Group’s right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term, are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

Initial measurement

The initial cost of ROU assets includes:

  • the initial measurement of the related lease liabilities recognised;

  • any lease payments made on or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

  • initial direct costs incurred; and

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liabilities comprise:

  • fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;

  • restoration cost estimates, recognised and measured applying AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

Subsequent measurement

ROU assets are subsequently depreciated, in accordance with the Group's existing depreciation accounting policy, over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the underlying asset and the lease term. If it is reasonably certain that the Group will either obtain ownership of the underlying asset by the end of the lease term or exercise a purchase option, the ROU asset is depreciated over its estimated useful life.

ROU assets are assessed for any impairment in accordance with the Group's existing impairment accounting policy.

(p) Acquisition of Assets

Where an entity or operation is acquired, the identifiable assets acquired (and, where applicable, identifiable liabilities assumed) are to be measured at the acquisition date at their relative fair values of the purchase consideration.

Where the acquisition is a group of assets or net assets, the cost of acquisition will be apportioned to the individual assets acquired (and, where applicable, liabilities assumed). Where a group of assets acquired does not form an entity or operation, the cost of acquisition is apportioned to each asset in proportion to the fair values of the assets as at the acquisition date.

(q) Share-Based Payment Transactions

Benefits to Employees and consultants (including Directors)

The Group provides benefits to employees and consultants (including Directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares or options (“equitysettled transactions”).

The costs of these equity settled transactions are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. The fair value of performance rights granted is determined using the single barrier share option pricing model. The fair value of options granted is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing technique. Further details of options and performance rights granted are disclosed in Note 22.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period).

At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the profit or loss is the product of: (i) the fair value at grant date of the award; (ii) the current best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being met; and (iii) the expired portion of the vesting period.

The charge to the profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding credit to equity.

Until an equity instrument has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer equity instruments vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any equity instrument subject to a market condition is valued as if it will vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum, an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or is otherwise beneficial to the recipient of the award, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled transaction is cancelled (other than a grant cancelled by forfeiture when the vesting conditions are not satisfied), it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new equity instrument is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new equity instrument are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the preceding paragraph.

Benefits to Vendors

The Group provides benefits to vendors of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby the vendor has render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares or options (“equity-settled transactions”).

The fair value is measured by reference to the value of the goods or services received. If these cannot be reliably measured, then by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is recognised over the period in which the service was received.

(r) Fair Value Estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximately their fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

(s) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation, it is probable that an outflow of

FENIX RESOURCES LIMITED

  • 64 -

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2021

resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Provisions are measured at the present value and the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss.

Rehabilitation and mine closure

The Group has obligations to dismantle and remove certain items of mine properties, property, plant and equipment and to restore and rehabilitate the land on which they sit.

A provision is recognised for the estimated cost of settling the rehabilitation and restoration obligations existing at the reporting date, discounted to present value using high quality corporate bond market yields at the reporting date, that match the timing of the estimated future cash outflows as closely as possible.

Where the obligation is related to an item of mine properties, property, plant and equipment, its cost includes the present value of the estimated costs of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located. The related rehabilitation asset for the Iron Ridge Project is included in mine properties.

The discounted value reflects a combination of an assessment of the nature and extent of the work required, the future cost of performing the work required, the timing of cash flows and the discount rate. Over time, the discounted value is increased for the change in present value based on the discount rates that reflect current market assessments and the risks specific to the liability. This increase in the provision, being the periodic unwinding of the discount due to the passage of time, is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss.

The provision is reassessed at least annually. A change in any of the assumptions used to determine the provisions could have a material impact on the carrying amount of the provision. Any change in the provision is reflected as an addition to, or deduction from, the related rehabilitation asset in mine properties and amortised as appropriate.

(t) Employee Entitlements

The Group’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date is recognised in other payables. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, and annual leave which will be settled within one year, have been measured at their nominal amount and include related on-costs.

(u) Profit/loss Per Share

Basic profit/loss per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating loss attributable to the equity holder of the Group after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

Diluted earnings/loss per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the year.

(v) Trade and Other Payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(w) Contributed Equity

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

(x) Dividends

The Group adopted a dividend policy in August 2021 that provides for, to the extent that dividends can be fully franked, a payment of 50% and 80% of after-tax earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends, either annually or semi-annually .

(y) Comparatives

Comparative figures have been restated to conform with the current year’s presentation. This has had no impact on the financial statements.

(z) Parent Entity Financial Information

The financial information for the parent entity, Fenix Resources Limited, disclosed in Note 33 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements except as set out below:
