Figure 1 | Location of the Company’s Projects in Western Australia
McKenzie Springs Project
The McKenzie Springs Project is located 85km northeast of the township of Halls Creek in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The Project comprises a single granted Exploration Licence, namely E80/4808. The Project hosts mafic and ultramafic intrusions that are prospective for magmatic Ni-Cu sulphide and Platinum Group Element (PGE) mineralisation. Additionally, the Tickalara Metamorphic geology within the project is prospective for graphite mineralisation. Nickel mineralisation within the McKenzie Springs Project is associated with the basal contact of mafic-ultramafic rocks in a similar geological setting to the Savannah Nickel Mine owned by Panoramic Resources Ltd (ASX: PAN) to the north.

Directors’ Report
==> picture [53 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
The Company commenced its diamond drilling program at the McKenzie Springs Project, prospective for Nickel, Copper and Platinum Group Element (PGE) mineralisation during the reporting period. The program included three diamond drill holes (for a total of 947.9m) designed to intersect modelled strong high priority conductors defined from Fixed Loop Electromagnetic (FLEM) geophysical surveys.
Downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying was completed on the drillholes post drilling. Results from the DHEM survey will be assessed in conjunction with pending assay and petrological results and, completed geological and structural logging to determine future exploration programs. Final assay results are due in February.
The source of the conductive anomaly targeted by FNDD001 was not intersected within the drillhole and is yet to be identified. FNDD002 intersected foliation disseminated to semi-massive sulphide mineralisation (pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-pentlandite sulphides), brecciated quartz veining within sheared anorthosite and amphibolite from 277.25m. This intersection in FNDD002 corresponds to the electromagnetic (EM) conductor identified at this location.
A two-metre interval (from 75.9m) in FNDD003 which intercepted a foliated sedimentary granulite with 25% visual disseminated sulphides is considered to be the source of the conductive anomaly which was targeted by this drill hole.

Refer to the Company’s announcement Semi-Massive Sulphides intersected at McKenzie Springs Nickel Project dated 26 October 2020 for further details on the drilling program and results.
On 10 December 2020, the Company announced that it had completed its Farm-In right as per the Heads of Agreement (“Agreement”) with Sammy Resources Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Cazaly Resources Limited ASX:CAZ), to earn an additional 19% in Exploration Licence 80/4808, the McKenzie Springs Project. This completed the Farm-In stage of the agreement whereby FIN now holds a 70% interest and CAZ a 30% interest with each party now required to contribute to future exploration expenditure according to their interest.
South Big Bell Project
The South Big Bell Project is located 25km west of the township of Cue in the Murchison Goldfields. The Project comprises a single granted Exploration Licence, namely E20/0900. The Project lies to the south of the Big Bell Gold Mine, currently held by Westgold Resources Ltd (ASX: WGX) which forms part of their Central Murchison Gold Project. The South Big Bell tenement covers the southern extension of the Mount MagnetMeekatharra Greenstone Belt. Limited exploration work was completed on the Project during the period.
Sentinel Project
The Sentinel Project is located 130km east-northeast of the township of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields. The Project comprises a single granted Exploration Licence, namely E28/2652. The Project lies within the southern Laverton Tectonic Zone, a regional scale shear/fault system that extends as a set of NNE and NNW trending structures from Laverton towards the Pinjin area.
The area has been explored for gold by a number of companies since the 1980s, exploration including predominantly reconnaissance and surface geochemical programs, and limited geochemical drill traverses through covered terrain. Limited exploration work was completed on the Project during the period.

Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
==> picture [47 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
for the half-year ended 31 December 2020
1. Corporate Information
The financial report of Fin Resources Limited (“Fin Resources”, “Fin” or “the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“Group”) for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 18 February 2021.
Fin Resources is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and the principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ Report.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including AASB 134 ”Interim Financial Reporting” and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.
These half-year financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group as the full financial statements. Accordingly, these half-year financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by Fin Resources Limited during the half-year reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The half-year report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs. For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
(b) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent (Fin Resources Limited) and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a Company controls another entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in note 10.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-company transactions have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered.
(c) Compliance Statement
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The impact on the financial performance and position of the Company from the adoption of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations was not material. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Responsibility of the Directors for the 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 the 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 for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 2020 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 .
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.
