Freehill Mining Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 1. Significant accounting policies
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the policies stated below.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet effective
The consolidated entity has not early adopted any new or amended accounting standard that is not yet mandatory.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $1,294,635 and had net operating cash outflows of $812,099 for the half year ended 31 December 2020. These events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt as to whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern.
The directors have reviewed the cashflow forecasts and believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern due to the following factors:
-
Since 31 December the company has issued a total of 3,349,500 fully paid ordinary shares on the conversion of options raising $83,738 before costs; and
-
Funding is expected to be raised from future capital raising. The consolidated entity has a proven track record of raising funding through debt and equity when needed to raise working capital. This record of raising funds, together with the ability to manage its position with creditors and lenders, give the board comfort that the consolidated entity will be able to pay its debts as and well they fall due.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessarily incurred should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.
Note 2. Impact of COVID 19 pandemic
During the half year ended 31 December 2020, the COVID-19 has continued to impact the global economy. The pandemic has adversely affected the global economy, including an increase in unemployment, decrease in consumer demand, interruptions in supply chains, and tight liquidity and credit conditions. Since its outbreak, governments worldwide have set up measures to contain the pandemic. Many countries have required entities to limit or suspend business operations, and have also implemented travel restrictions and quarantine measures. Monetary and fiscal stimulus packages have also been introduced in some countries. As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve, the estimated financial impact cannot be reasonably determined at this juncture. The impact which COVID 19 has had on the consolidated entity is set out below.

Freehill Mining Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2020
Note 2. Impact of COVID 19 pandemic (continued)
Chilean operations
In response to the pandemic the Chilean government has imposed restrictions from time to time. These have resulted in delays to the processing of materials from the drilling program feeding in to the Chilean exploration program. Whilst there have been delays the pandemic is not expected to materially affect the overall program.
Australian operations
The impact of COVID-19 on the consolidated entity's Australian operations has not been material due to their scale and nature of operations as a holding company.
Note 3. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity is organised into one operating segment: Chilean Exploration. This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As auditor of Freehill Mining Ltd, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a Half-year Financial Report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
