CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder,

FY2022 has proven to be a watershed year in the short history of Galileo Mining Ltd with the discovery of the Callisto palladium-platinum-rhodium-gold-copper-nickel target at our wholly-owned Norseman project in Western Australia in May.

While discovery drill hole NRC266 returned significant palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel-rhodium mineralisation over 33 metres, what made this a particularly outstanding discovery was all six RC drill holes in the initial exploration program contained significant zones of mineralisation with strong confirmation of the initial results from NRC266.

On the back of these results, we spent little time before kicking off our second round of RC drilling, consisting of 16 holes for 3,939m, to expand on the early results with drilling designed at a 50-metre spacing across strike and followed by drill lines along strike to the north.

Post year end, we reported assays from the first four RC drill holes of this second program at Callisto which demonstrated the extensive continuity of mineralisation intercepted with significant thicknesses over 20 metres at the 1.0 g/t 3E cut-off grade and over 30 metres at the lower 0.5 g/t 3E cut-off reported.

Most importantly, the mineralisation is open at the end of the 6,448,000-drill line where it starts to dip east, further onto our granted Mine Lease. NRC278 ended in mineralisation at this location and will be completed with a diamond drill rig, as will further step out holes to the east.

An additional eleven drill holes were completed with each drill hole intersecting disseminated sulphide mineralisation geologically consistent with the first round of drilling.

A third round of RC drilling has now begun with diamond drilling scheduled to start this month.

At Fraser Range, we undertook a RC drilling campaign at Empire Rose prospect with drilling intersecting disseminated sulphides. Meanwhile, at the Delta Blues prospect, two diamond drill holes tested a conductive target beneath sulphide mineralisation at DB2 with matrix, stringer, and disseminated sulphides intercepted in both holes.

We also acquired a new strategic Fraser Range tenement along strike from known nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation at the Lantern Prospect where we are undertaking EM surveying to gain a better understanding of the prospect’s potential. In addition, we are planning infill EM surveying of the highly conductive Green Moon prospect to refine targets for drill testing.

On the corporate front, we were very pleased with the strong market support for our $20.4 million placement post year end with $8.7 million of the funds coming from our major shareholders, Mark Creasy and IGO. This funding allows us to aggressively explore this significant new palladium province within our Norseman Project area.

In addition, we welcomed highly experienced mining lawyer Cecilia Camarri to the board as an Independent Non-Executive Director. Cecilia’s appointment will assist us with our aim to transition from an exploration company to a resource development company on the back of the Callisto discovery.

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

Lastly, I would like to thank our loyal shareholders for their unwavering support over the past year. With over five kilometres of strike length at Callisto, I genuinely feel that we have a significant company-making discovery with upcoming drilling campaigns to further unearth its mineralisation potential. Coupled with highly prospective targets at the Jimberlana and Mission Sill prospects, ongoing exploration at Fraser Range and cash in the bank to aggressively turn the drill bit, the potential to build on our mineralisation is very high and I can’t wait to share our successes during FY2023 with you.

Norseman Project

During the year, Galileo reported the discovery of significant palladium-platinum-copper-nickel-sulphide at the Callisto target.[1 ]

Six holes for 1,142 metres were drilled at Callisto[2] . The target is a mineralised sulphide unit developed at the base of an ultramafic sill where it intrudes into a package of sedimentary rocks.

Drill holes from the initial campaign were completed on two east-west lines spaced 50 metres apart with a 50metre drill spacing along the lines.

Each of the six drill holes intersected palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel sulphide intersections. Of the six holes, drill hole NRC266 recorded the widest interval of sulphide mineralisation with sulphide abundance increasing to the east in the drilling.

Interpretation of results from Callisto have shown similarities with South Africa’s Platreef deposits with disseminated sulphide mineralisation hosted in the lower unit of a layered ultramafic sill.

Drill assays from NRC266 were analysed to include the presence of rhodium in addition to palladium-platinumgold-copper-nickel.[3] These metals also occur in the Platreef deposits in a similar disseminated mineralisation style and in a similar host rock. Petrographical examination of drill chips from NRC266 is ongoing with the intention of describing the host rock in more detail.

In June, the Company commenced a second program of RC drilling at the Callisto discovery (Figure 2) to expand on the early results with drilling designed at a 50-metre spacing across strike to be followed by drill lines along strike to the north.[4] In total, 16 drill holes were completed in this program and three pre-collars prepared for diamond drill tails.

In addition to success at the Callisto discovery, Galileo also received significant nickel-copper-cobalt-palladium assay results from its first pass aircore drilling program consisting of 8,700m drilled at:

  • Jimberlana prospect (JD1, JD2)

  • Northern Mission Sill prospect (MS2 & MS3)

  • Southern Mission Sill prospect (MS1)

Jimberlana (JD 1 and JD 2)

Significant assays were received from drill holes around the southern EM conductor (labelled “J1 EM Target” in Figure 6) and are listed in Table 3.6 Of particular note was the presence of nickel, copper, cobalt and palladium in NAC068 which is located up dip of the J1 conductive target. Results from neighbouring drill holes NAC066 and NAC076 also support the drill target at the modelled conductor.

At J3 and J4 EM targets, results from drill holes adjacent to the previously reported massive sulphide intercept in NAC105 were also reported.[7] The bottom of hole sample from NAC105 was a follow up of sampling reported on the 1st December 2021 and confirmed the palladium, copper, and nickel sulphide mineralisation previously reported of 1m @ 0.24% nickel, 0.35% copper, 0.04% cobalt and 0.25 g/t palladium. NAC092, drilled 500m west of NAC105, had an anomalous result of 1m @ 0.39% nickel, 0.17% copper, 0.03% cobalt and 73 ppb palladium while NAC108, which was drilled 150m south of NAC105, also had an anomalous result of 4m @ 0.11 g/t Pd from 16m. Both results extend the zone of interest of this prospect area and further demonstrates that this is a priority area for follow up drilling.

Parameters of all the modelled conductors at the Jimberlana prospect are described in Table 4.

Jimberlana 4 (J4) 24,780S 700m 241m -80m

Southern Mission Sill (MS1)

Galileo announced numerous aircore drill holes from the southern end of the Mission Sill prospect returning anomalous palladium results greater than 0.1 g/t Pd (see Table 5). Drill holes were undertaken on drill lines between 200 and 800 metres apart with a nominal drill spacing of 50 metres along the line. The target zone is the contact between the ultramafic and mafic units of the Mission Sill. This contact can be delineated in the magnetic imagery and previous RC drilling at this margin has encountered disseminated sulphides in fresh rock (up to 5% in patches, with up to 74m @ 0.19 g/t Pd in fresh rock).[8] Those assays considered to be significantly anomalous contain greater than 0.1 g/t Pd over the width of the assay interval. Most assays were received from four metre composite samples with three, two or one metre samples used where required by the end depth of the drill hole.

Figure 8 shows the position of the drill holes. The best results obtained were from aircore drill holes NAC126, NAC151, and NAC160 as shown below:

  • 4 metres @ 1.66% nickel, 0.16% cobalt, 0.31 g/t 2E (palladium + platinum) from 32m; and 4 metres @ 0.90% nickel, 0.18% cobalt, 0.39 g/t gold, 0.23 g/t 2E (palladium + platinum) from 52m in NAC126

  • 8 metres @ 1.44 g/t 2E including 4m @ 1.7 g/t 2E

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

 15 metres @ 0.44 g/t 2E, including 4m @ 0.69 g/t 2E in NAC160

The high nickel and cobalt results in NAC126 were drilled in a zone on the northern margin of the Jimberlana Dyke where it comes in contact with the Mission Sill prospect. NAC126 is approximately 800m east of NAC105 which intersected massive sulphides in bottom of hole chips. Subsequent EM surveying around NAC105 delineated large EM conductors beneath drill hole NAC105. Additional EM surveying and IP surveying is now being planned to follow up the results from NAC126.

See Tables 4 & 5 for assay details. Metre numbers are the end of the interval ie. 33 denotes the interval from 32 to 33m

==> picture [458 x 205] intentionally omitted <==

NAC 160 occurs at the interpreted contact between ultramafic and mafic rock. The drill line is a few hundred metres north of the east-west trending Jimberlana Dyke.[10] The area of interaction between the Jimberlana Dyke and Mission Sill is a priority exploration target for upcoming work programs. Figure 10 shows the extent of Mission Sill with the prospective target zone and the four kilometres of untested strike length with no palladium exploration. This unexplored contact position will be targeted with first pass aircore drilling, IP surveying, and follow up RC drill testing.

Planned work programs at the Norseman Project

The next assays from the second-round drill program at Callisto are anticipated in August 2022.

The third round of RC drilling at Callisto commenced in early August. This drilling aims to expand the known mineralisation along strike and to the west.

Diamond drilling is also planned to start in August and will focus on the down dip zones to the east.

The drilling programs allow for a broader interpretation of the mineralisation setting, and a better understanding of the regional potential for more discoveries.

Drill programs at the Mission Sill and Jimberlana prospects are also being planned for later in the year. These programs aim to follow up on the multitude of anomalous aircore drilling results generated in these areas (see ASX announcements dated 03/08/22, 08/03/22, 21/03/22, 24/03/22 and 28/03/22).

Fraser Range Project

While the priority for Galileo during the financial year was exploration at Norseman, the Company continued to progress exploration work at its Fraser Range project.

EM surveying is ongoing at Galileo’s northern Fraser Range project area with the aim of defining new undercover nickel targets for drill testing. Previous drilling at the Lantern South and Lantern East prospects has established the area as highly prospective for sulphides. The conductive anomaly at the Easterly prospect is northeast along strike from known sulphide mineralisation at the Lantern prospect and is ready for drill testing.

The conductive target at the Green Moon prospect requires infill EM surveying to refine the target prior to drill testing. The current parameters of the EM models at these locations are shown in Table 8 with magnetic background imagery shown in Figure 11.

During the March Quarter, Galileo undertook an RC drill campaign at the Empire Rose prospect consisting of 940m over six drill holes.[11] All targets were under shallow cover and represented a combination of geological and geophysical anomalies. Figure 12 shows the location of the six RC drill holes completed and summary logs with drill hole details are contained in Appendices 1 and 2. Figure 8 ––Empire Rose prospect with 2022 RC drill holes and geological/geophysical targets drill tested (over TMI magnetic image).

Figure 12 ––Empire Rose prospect with 2022 RC drill holes and geological/geophysical targets drill tested (over TMI magnetic image)

==> picture [364 x 250] intentionally omitted <==

Conductive anomalies EM1, EM2, and EM3 (drill holes FSRC001, FSRC003, FSRC002 respectively) were found to be related to an interpreted graphitic shear zone with disseminated sulphides over significant drilled thicknesses of greater than 50 metres in FSRC002.

Disseminated sulphides were predominantly pyrrhotite and pyrite and were typically 0.5 to 3% of the one metre drilled interval, where recorded. FSRC004 was a short drill hole designed to ascertain the cause of the strong magnetic anomaly beneath cover. The bottom of hole rock chips showed magnetic paragneiss/mafic metasedimentary unit. FSRC005 and FSRC006 were drilled beneath ultramafic rock units first identified by aircore drilling. More ultramafic rock was recognised from drill chips which will now be sent for petrographical analyses to determine nickel fertility. Down hole EM surveying and laboratory assaying will also be used to establish whether there are further targets for drilling within the prospect area.

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

Assays from diamond drilling completed at the Delta Blues prospect in the Fraser Range were also received during the March Quarter. Although matrix, disseminated and stringer sulphides were intersected in drilling (see ASX announcement dated 15 December 2021), assays indicated the majority of the sulphide was pyrrhotite, in line with geological logging. Copper and gold values were sporadic through the sulphide zones with a maximum copper value of 0.51% (from 399 to 400m in DBDD001) and maximum gold values of 0.20 g/t (from 181 to 182m in DBDD001 and from 298 to 299m in DBDD002).

In October 2021, Galileo reported the results of EM surveying from the Company’s Delta Blues prospect within the Fraser Range Belt in Western Australia.[12 ]

This followed positive assay results from three reverse circulation (RC) drill holes completed in September at the Delta Blues DB2 prospect[13 ] with all three drill holes targeting the very top of a large electro-magnetic (EM) conductor and all three holes recording sulphide intercepts with anomalous amounts of copper and gold.

DHEM surveying at the Delta Blues DB2 prospect defined a highly conductive target with modelled conductivity up to 10,500 Siemens. The most conductive zone was positioned below drill holes DBRC001 and DBRC003. Both RC drill holes recorded sulphide intercepts with anomalous amounts of copper and gold in the first round of drilling undertaken at the prospect.[14] Modelled conductor dimensions up to 500m by 500m represent a large-scale target with all three drill holes completed to date showing sulphide indications over a minimum strike length of 210 metres.

Drill holes DBDD001 and DBDD002 were subsequently drilled to test the conductive target beneath sulphide mineralisation at the DB2 target (Figure 13).[15]

Figure 13 – Diamond drilling at the Delta Blues prospect in the Fraser Range

==> picture [270 x 205] intentionally omitted <==

Matrix, stringer, and disseminated sulphides were intercepted in both drill holes (Figure 14). However, the Company is unsure whether the modelled conductor can be adequately explained by the mineralisation intercepted or is in part related to graphite which accompanies some sections of the sulphide mineralisation.[16]

Figure 14 - Matrix sulphide mineralisation at 399m downhole in DBDD001 (field of view approximately 20cm across)

==> picture [403 x 173] intentionally omitted <==

Observed sulphides are predominantly pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite. Geological logging recorded typical Fraser Range meta-sediments and mafic granulites as well as units of felsic (tonalite) intrusive rocks. The intrusive units occur proximal and adjacent to the sulphides and may have a causative relationship. Felsic intrusive samples from RC drill hole DBRC001 were examined petrographically under the microscope and were determined to be trondhjemite, a variety of tonalite.

EM surveying at the Delta Blues DB1 prospect was not successful in replicating earlier modelling and the target wasn’t drilled during this drill program.

Planned work programs at the Fraser Range Project

Ongoing EM surveying at Galileo’s northern Fraser Range project area with the aim of defining new undercover nickel targets for drill testing.

The conductive target at the Green Moon prospect requires infill EM surveying to refine the target prior to drill testing.

OPERATIONS POST YEAR END

Norseman Project

Post end of FY2022, Galileo reported drill assays from the first four RC holes of the second RC drill program at Callisto and confirmed significant palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel results.[17 ]

This included the highest-grade palladium and platinum assays recorded to date of 8.25 g/t Pd & 1.94 g/t Pt over one metre in NRC275 which add even more prospectivity to the Callisto area with the possibility of highgrade zones occurring within the mineralised system.

The Company reported significant thicknesses over 20 metres at the 1.0 g/t 3E cut-off grade and over 30 metres at the lower 0.5 g/t 3E cut-off.

Mineralisation is open in all directions and now extends over 300 metres across strike on section 6,448,000N.

Eleven additional drill holes have been completed with each drill hole intersecting disseminated sulphide mineralisation geologically consistent with the first round of drilling.[18 ]

The geometry of the sulphide mineralisation appears to be flat lying before it begins to dip to the east. Mineralisation is not yet closed off on the flat lying areas to the west with the possibility of extensions to the west at a relatively shallow depth below surface. Mineralisation is also open to the north, south and east.

CORPORATE

During the year, Galileo announced the appointment of highly experienced mining lawyer Cecilia Camarri as an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company.

Cecilia is Special Counsel at a WA law firm and has extensive experience specialising in the mining industry. Cecilia acts as a legal adviser to private and listed mining companies and has both operational and management experience.

As at 30 June 2022, the Group had cash and deposits of approximately $7 million.

Notably, post period-end Galileo successfully closed a placement of 17,000,000 shares at an issue price of $1.20 per share to raise gross proceeds of $20.4 million.

The Placement received strong backing, with $8.7 million of the funds coming from major shareholders, Mark Creasy and IGO, and ensures the Company is well positioned for future exploration activities.

Risks to the Group due to the ongoing global COVID-19 health emergency continue to be monitored. The Group’s cash position provides insulation to any longer-term unforeseen impacts to funding and operating that may occur. All of Galileo’s projects are located in Western Australia and, although the future risk from COVID-19 cannot be reliably estimated, the potential impact on Group’s operations over the next 12 months does not appear significant.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited)

The Directors of Galileo Mining Ltd present the Remuneration Report (‘the Report”) for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2022 (“FY22”). This Report forms part of the Directors’ Report and has been audited as required by section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Key management personnel disclosed in this report

For the purposes of this Report, key management personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including a director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company, and its subsidiaries.

Details of key management personnel: Brad Underwood (Managing Director/Chairman) Noel O’Brien (Non-executive Director) Cecilia Camarri (Non-executive Director) Mathew Whyte (Non-executive Director and Company Secretary)

Remuneration Philosophy

The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper the Group must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and KMP.

To this end Galileo aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibility so as to align the interests of executives with those of shareholders and to ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Remuneration and nomination issues are handled at the full Board level. Due to the small number of directors and KMP no separate committee has been established for this purpose.

Board members, as per groupings detailed below, are responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements.

In order to maintain good corporate governance, the Non-executive Directors assume responsibility for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Executive Directors of the Group. The Executive Directors in turn are responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation arrangements for the Non-executive Directors.

The assessment considers the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of KMPs on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality Board and executive team.

Independent external advice is sought from remuneration consultants when required, however no advice has been sought during the year ended 30 June 2022. The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the Company’s remuneration governance.

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-executive Director and Executive Director’s remuneration is separate and distinct.

A. Non-executive Directors’ remuneration

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at commercial market rates for comparable companies for their time, commitment and responsibilities.

32

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

On appointment to the Board, all non-executive directors sign a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms including remuneration, relevant to the office of director.

The constitution and the ASX Listing rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by shareholders at general meeting.

Non-executive directors receive a fixed fee inclusive of superannuation contributions. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. Subject to approval by shareholders, Non-executive directors’ remuneration may also include an incentive portion consisting of Options and Performance Rights, which are granted for the same reasons and objectives and on the same terms as Options granted to Executive Directors as outlined in Section B below. To this end Non-executive Directors are also entitled to participate in Galileo’s Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan).

The remuneration of Non-executive Directors for the year ended 30 June 2022 is detailed in the table in Section C of this Report.

B. Executive Directors’ remuneration

Objective

The Group aims to reward Executive Directors with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group and so as to:

  • Align the interests of Executive Directors with those of shareholders.

  • Link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the Group

  • Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure

In determining the level of remuneration paid to Executive Directors, the Board takes into account the activities of the Group and available benchmarks.

An employment contract has been entered into with the Executive Director of Galileo. Details of this contract are provided in Section D of this Report.

Remuneration consist of the following key elements:

  • Fixed remuneration

  • Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (LTI).

The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration is established for the Executive Director by the Board. The table in Section C of this Report details the fixed and variable components (%) of the Executive Directors of Galileo.

Fixed Remuneration

The level of fixed remuneration is set as a cash salary plus superannuation contributions so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market.

Variable remuneration – Long Term Incentives (LTI)

Options

LTI grants to executives are delivered in the form of Options.

The table in Section C provides details of Options granted and the value of equity instruments granted, exercised and lapsed during the year. Options were issued free of charge. Each option entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) fully paid ordinary share in Galileo upon the exercise of the option based on achieving vesting conditions at a $0.20 exercise price. The terms and conditions including the service and performance criteria that must be met are as follows:-

Each Option will only vest and become exercisable when the 60-day volume weighted average market price (as defined in the Listing Rules) of Galileo’s quoted Shares first exceeds $0.60 per Share. Options not so exercised shall automatically expire on the expiry date. Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one

33

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

Share in the capital of Galileo. Each Share allotted as a result of the exercise of any Option will rank in all respect pari passu with the existing Shares in the capital of Galileo on issue at the date of allotment.

Relationship between remuneration and the Group’s performance

As the Group is a listed exploration Group, measuring performance is difficult. The most meaningful measure of internal performance is on goals that have an exploration focus.

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board has regard to the following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous financial years:

2022 2021 2020
Net Loss 1,190,216 688,244 912,561

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

No person has applied to any court pursuant to section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings. The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Company has entered into a deed of indemnity with all existing directors and officers. Under the deed the Company has undertaken, subject to the restrictions in the Corporations Act, to indemnify all existing directors in certain circumstances whilst a director or officer and for 7 years after they have ceased to be a director or officer.

During the year, the Company paid a premium to insure officers of the Group. The officers of the Group covered by the insurance policy include all directors and the company secretary.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the Group.

Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of the insurance policies is not disclosed as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

38

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify any current or former officer or auditor of the Group against a liability incurred as such by an officer.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Group is not of a size nor are its financial affairs of such complexity to justify a separate audit committee of the board of directors. All matters that might properly be dealt with by such a committee are the subject of scrutiny at full board meetings.

AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The Auditor’s Independence Declaration immediately follows this Report and forms part of this Report. The Directors are satisfied as to the independence of the auditors.

During the financial year the entity’s auditor, HLB Mann Judd, did not provide other non-audit services (2021: $Nil) (refer to note 21).

Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors.

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Galileo Mining Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2022 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 18 August 2022.

Galileo Mining Ltd is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The address of the registered office is 13 Colin Street, West Perth WA 6005.

The Group’s principal activity during the year was mineral exploration. Major exploration activities during the period are outlined in the Review of Operations as contained in the Directors’ Report.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • (a) Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.

For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group is a for-profit entity.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and the accounting policies below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated. The financial report is for the Group consisting of Galileo Mining Ltd and its subsidiaries.

  • (b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Galileo Mining Ltd (Galileo) and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2022 (the Group).

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

  • Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

  • Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee:

  • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

45

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

  • De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary

  • De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests

  • De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity

  • Recognises the fair value of the consideration received

  • Recognises the fair value of any investment retained

  • Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss

  • Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method.

  • (c) Compliance with IFRS

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, compromising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

  • (d) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2022

In the period ended 30 June 2022, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current reporting period. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact on the Group’s accounting policies.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted as at 30 June 2022. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Group.

(e) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

  • at least one of the following conditions is also met:

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

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

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has

46

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.

(f) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Plant and equipment – 2 to 6 years

Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.

If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.

Disposal

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use or disposal of the asset.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss in the period the item is derecognised.

  • (g) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 0 days to 30 days.

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

  • (h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(i) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are

47

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs.

  • (j) Other Income

Interest income

Interest income is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Government grants

Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as other income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the related expenses are incurred.

  • (k) Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:

  • except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or taxable profit or loss; or

  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry–forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:

  • except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investment in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.

48

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(l) Other taxes

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.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of the 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 flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

  • (m) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are initially measured at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of the goods and services.

Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid with 30 days of recognition.

  • (n) Employee Entitlements

Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Long Service Leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Based on the Company’s experience of employee departures, a long service leave liability is only recognised once an employee has been employed by the Company for a period of 5 years. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national Government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

  • (o) Contributed equity

Ordinary share 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.

  • (p) Earnings/Loss per share (EPS)

Basic EPS is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

49

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members, adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);

  • the after tax effect of dividend and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

divided by the weighted average number or ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(q) Share-based payment transactions

The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors and executives) of the Group and to third parties in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees and third parties render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using an appropriate option pricing model.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Galileo Mining Ltd (‘market conditions’).

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is

conditional upon a market condition.

Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any award subject to a market condition is considered to 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. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, other than forfeiture, 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 award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings/loss per share.

For equity-settled share-based payment transactions, the entity shall measure the goods or services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, If the entity cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods or services received, the entity shall measure their value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

(r) Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities with the next annual reporting period are:

(i) 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 which could impact the future recoverability include the level of proved, probable and inferred mineral resources, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, this will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made.

In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure, other than acquisition costs, is expensed as incurred. Acquisition costs in relation to mineral tenements are capitalised and carried forward provided the rights to tenure of the area of the interest are current and such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development, or by sale, or where exploration and evaluation activities have not, at balance date, reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

(ii) Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Trinomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equitysettled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. Refer to note 20 further information.

(a) Exploration expenditure commitments

The Group has certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work and to expend minimum amounts of money on such work on mining tenements. These obligations may be varied from time to time subject to approval and are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of the operations of the Group. These commitments have not been provided for in the financial report. Due to the nature of the Group’s operations in exploring and evaluating areas of interest, it is difficult to accurately forecast the nature and amount of future expenditure beyond the next year. Expenditure may be reduced by seeking exemption from individual commitments, by relinquishing of tenure or by new joint venture arrangements. Expenditure may be increased when new tenements are granted or joint venture agreements amended. The minimum expenditure commitment on the tenements is shown below.

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits.

The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables, and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations and other activities.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Notes 2, 6, 11 and 13 to the financial statements.

The Group manages its exposure to a variety of financial risks: market risk (interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk in accordance with specific approved Group policies.

Primary responsibility for the identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified.

The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate risk and assessment of market forecast for interest rate. The Group manages credit risk by only dealing with recognized, creditworthy, third parties and liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s current exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to cash assets rates and is managed by the Board approved investment policy. This policy defines maximum exposures and credit ratings limits.

The following table summarises the impact of reasonably possible changes on interest rates for the Group at 30 June 2021. The sensitivity is based on the assumption that interest rate changes by 100 basis points with all other variables held constant. The 100 basis points sensitivity is based on reasonably possible changes over a financial year, using the observed range of actual historical rates for the preceding 3 year period. The analysis is performed on the same basis for the comparative period.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from higher or lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents. The Parent’s main interest rate risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and other assets with variable interest rates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of Galileo Mining Ltd

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Galileo Mining Ltd (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

  • (b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report .

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
