In addition, a number of Feasibility studies have been completed for the North Macedonian Government and these will continue together with the collection of baseline data for an ESIA.

Strategies for Australian Projects

An RC Drilling program was initiated in June 2023 on the Alice Springs tenement and was completed in July. A total of 17 holes for 1,448m were completed. The drilling has intersected abundant quartz veins, a banded iron formation and minor sulphides within predominantly quartz-mica schists. Results are pending. Follow up work will depend on results.

A program of nine RC holes was also planned on the Arltunga tenement. These were completed in July (post reporting period) with results also pending. Follow up work will depend on results.

During May 2023 a week was spent undertaking reconnaissance work over EL24814 McArthur River. This consisted of reviewing the EM anomalies along strike of the Masterton 2 Manganese prospect, reconnaissance over the Quarry Mn prospect (5 rock chip samples collected - previous grades up to 75% Mn) and reconnaissance and review of the Thor base metals prospect (5 rock chip samples collected). Results were positive from the Southern part of the Quarry Mn Prospect with a maximum of 86.1% Mn. Results from the Thor Base Metals prospect were disappointing with only a maximum of 0.4% Zinc returned. Follow up work over the Quarry Mn prospect is planned.

The Pioneer Gold prospect in Qld has a number of Au targets that warrant drill testing. It is planned to drill these sometime in 2024.

Key Business Risks

A number of specific risk factors that may impact the business strategies, future performance and financial position of Genesis and its controlled entities are described below. It is not possible to identify every risk that could affect Genesis’ business, and whilst Genesis implements risk mitigation measures to the extent possible, actions taken by Genesis to mitigate the risks described below cannot provide absolute assurance that a risk will not materialise.

G e n e s i s R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d | 2 0 2 3 A n n u a l R e p o r t

P a g e | 15

(a) Capital/going concern – The consolidated entity will require further financing, in particular to advance the Plavica Project, further explore the consolidated entity’s many Australian projects, and repay loans. Whilst the current climate for capital raising is challenging, the consolidated entity has previously been successful in raising both equity and debt capital to fund its activities. The Directors continue to be confident in the consolidated entity’s ability to raise funds as and when the need arises. However, the existence of these material uncertainties do give rise to significant doubt as to whether the consolidated entity can continue as a going concern (see Note 1(e) to the financial statements).
(b) Title risks and Native Title – The consolidated entity’s key project, Plavica Project, is located in Macedonia. Interests in tenements in Macedonia are governed by legislation and are evidenced by the granting of concession licences. Genesis also has an interest in several Australian exploration tenements. These are primarily governed by State-based legislation and are evidenced by the granting of exploration licences. Each exploration licence is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Genesis may lose title to its interest in tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments. It is also possible that, in relation to tenements which Genesis has an interest in or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate native title rights exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of Genesis to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations, may be adversely affected. The Directors will closely monitor the potential effect of native title claims involving tenements in which Genesis has or may have an interest.
(c) Sovereign risk – Genesis’ exploration activities are carried out in Australia and Macedonia. As a result, Genesis is subject to political, social, economic and other uncertainties including, but not limited to, changes in policies or the personnel administering them, foreign exchange restrictions, changes of law affecting foreign ownership, currency fluctuations, royalties and tax increases in that country. Other potential issues contributing to uncertainty such as repatriation of income, exploration licensing, environmental protection and government control over mineral properties should also be considered. Potential risk to Genesis’ activities may occur if there are changes to the political, legal and fiscal systems which might affect the ownership and operation of Genesis’ interests in Macedonia. This may also include changes in exchange control systems, expropriation of mining rights, changes in government and in legislative and regulatory regimes.
(d) Joint Ventures – The Plavica Project is being developed through a joint venture relationship. In addition, Genesis may wish to develop its other projects or its future projects through joint venture arrangements. Any joint ventures entered into by, or interests in joint ventures assigned to, Genesis could be affected by the failure or default of any of the joint venture participants (including Genesis).
(e) Resource and Reserve estimates – There is a risk that the mineral resources and ore reserves of Genesis, which are estimated and published on a regular basis by Genesis in accordance with ASX Listing Rules and the JORC Code, are incorrect. If those estimates are materially in excess of the recoverable mineral content of the tenements, the production and financial performance of Genesis would be adversely affected.
(f) Discovery risk – Any discovery by Genesis may not be commercially viable or recoverable: that is no resources within the meaning of the JORC Code may be able to be established and it may be that consequently no reserves can be established.
(g) Operating risk – The nature of exploration, mining and mineral processing involves hazards which could result in Genesis incurring uninsured losses and liabilities to third parties, for example arising from pollution, environmental damage or other damage, injury or death. These could include rock falls, flooding, unfavourable ground conditions or seismic activity, ore grades being lower than expected and the physical or metallurgical characteristics of the ore being less amenable to mining or treatment than expected.

Environmental Regulation and Performance

The consolidated entity’s operations are subject to significant environmental regulations under Commonwealth or State legislation. However, the Directors believe that the consolidated entity has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental requirements and is not aware of any breach of those environmental requirements as they apply to the consolidated entity.

Dividends

No dividends have been declared by the Directors for this financial year (2022: none).

Indemnification and Insurance of Officers

During the financial year, the consolidated entity paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the Directors of the Company, the Company Secretary and all executive officers of the Company and of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as a Director, Secretary or executive officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as an officer or auditor.

The insurance premiums relate to:

Cost and expenses incurred by the relevant officers in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal and whatever their outcome; and
Other liabilities that may arise from their position, with the exception of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty or improper use of information or position to gain a personal advantage.

This does not include such liabilities that arise from 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 or to cause detriment to the Company.

Indemnity and Insurance of Auditor

The company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor.

During the financial year, the company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the company or any related entity.

A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out immediately after this directors' report.

Non-Audit Services

There were no non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor.

Proceedings on Behalf of the Company

No person has applied for leave of a Court 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.

Remuneration Committee

The Board has not established a formal remuneration committee, having regard to the size of the Company and its operations. The Board acknowledges that when the size and nature of the Company warrants the necessity of a formal remuneration committee, such a committee will operate under the remuneration committee charter which has been approved by the Board. The remuneration committee charter may be viewed on the Company’s website.

Presently, the Board as a whole, excluding any relevant affected director, serves as a nomination committee to the Company and accordingly operates under the remuneration committee charter.

Competent Person

G e n e s i s R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d | 2 0 2 3 A n n u a l R e p o r t

P a g e | 19

The Board’s approach to executive remuneration has always been to balance fair remuneration for skills and expertise with a risk and reward framework that supports long-term growth of Genesis. The Board seeks to set remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of relevant experience and skill, whilst incurring costs which are acceptable to shareholders, particularly with regard to Genesis’ financial position.

The Directors consider Genesis’ remuneration practices during FY2023 to be conservative and appropriate, particularly given the broad range of responsibilities undertaken by all directors (in addition to their standard scope of duties) in the absence of a large management team.

Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors

The Company’s Constitution provides that Non-Executive Directors may collectively be paid from an aggregate maximum sum out of the funds of Genesis Resources Limited as remuneration for their services as Directors to be fixed by way of an ordinary resolution of shareholders. This maximum sum is currently fixed at $300,000. The Company’s Constitution and the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration amount can only be increased by resolution of shareholders.

Each Non-Executive Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company and does not participate in performance based remuneration. Non-Executive Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company (purchased by the Director on-market). It is considered good governance for Directors to have a stake in the Company.

Retirement Benefits

Consistent with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations which state that non-executive directors should not be provided with retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation, the Company does not provide retirement benefits to its Non-Executive Directors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the entity Genesis Resources Limited (“Genesis” or “the Company”) domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is Level 8, 555 Bourke Street, Melbourne Victoria 3000. The Company is primarily involved in gold, manganese and base metal exploration and development activities. The Company is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 27 September 2023.

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

Statement of compliance

The financial statements of Genesis Resources Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.

Adoption of new and amended accounting standards

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending 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 Group. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

Critical accounting estimates

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statement based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.

The areas involving a higher level of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are made which are significant to the financial statements are set out in Note 3.

(b) 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.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

G e n e s i s R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d | 2 0 2 3 A n n u a l R e p o r t

P a g e | 29

(c) Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 4.

(d) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Genesis Resources Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2023 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Genesis Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.

(e) Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates 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 $1,972,139 and the consolidated entity had net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,069,006 and from investing activities of $361,887 for the year ended 30 June 2023. As at that date the consolidated entity had net current liabilities of $15,265,639. Additionally, the consolidated entity is reliant on further funding to support future operations.

These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:

The consolidated entity’s ability to delay or fast track spending on exploration and evaluation activities dependent upon cash flow holdings and financial options at any given time; subject to meeting the minimum expenditure requirements described in Note 33.
As described in Note 22, the consolidated entity has secured loan facilities totalling $620,000 which are undrawn as at the date of this report.
The current lenders have provided a letter of support indicating they will not call upon the loans of $11,377,818 within 12 months of this financial statements being signed. This amount does not include any accrued interest.
The consolidated entity is confident it has the ability to obtain funds to support its operations through related parties and other lenders. As described in Note 32, consolidated entity have obtained additional $530,000 from related parties.

Accordingly, the Directors believe that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the consolidated entity does not continue as a going concern.

(f) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker during the year, who was responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Executive Chairman during the year.

(g) Functional and Presentation Currency

Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (‘the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Genesis' functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of financial position date, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of financial position date on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and

Translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(h) Interest income

Interest revenue 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.

(i) Income Tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributed to temporary differences and unused tax losses and under and over provision in prior periods, where applicable.

The income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised using the liability method for temporary differences arising between the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statements at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or

G e n e s i s R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d | 2 0 2 3 A n n u a l R e p o r t

P a g e | 31

(i) Income Tax (continued)

 When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entity’s which intend to settle simultaneously.

(j) Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

(k) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) 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 (cashgenerating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

P a g e | 32

(l) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

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. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on plant & equipment assets is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Class of Fixed Assets	Depreciable Life
Office equipment	3 – 5 years
Plant and equipment	3 – 5 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 (Note 1 (k)).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit and loss.

(m) Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licenses, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in profit or loss.

Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:

(i) the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development or sale of the area of interest; or
(ii) activities in the area of interest have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or other of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

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. When facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the resulting impairment loss is measured and disclosed in accordance with the impairment loss policy noted in accounting policy 1 (k).

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.

(n) Employee Benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution plan that are due more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are discounted to their present value.

G e n e s i s R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d | 2 0 2 3 A n n u a l R e p o r t

P a g e | 33

(n) Employee Benefits (continued)

(ii) Short-term benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(o) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(p) Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provision are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

(i) Site restoration

Provisions are made for estimated costs relating to the remediation of soil, groundwater and untreated waste as soon as the need is identified.

(q) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(r) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.

Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables and payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis except for the GST component of investing and financing activities which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(s) Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(t) Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

G e n e s i s R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d | 2 0 2 3 A n n u a l R e p o r t

P a g e | 34

(t) Fair value measurement (continued)

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(u) Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off. Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity’s assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset’s carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.

(v) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(w) Earnings per share (“EPS”)

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

The profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year
(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

The after income tax effect of interest and other financial costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and
The weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

NOTE 2: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(a) Overview

The Company has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:

Liquidity risk
Market risk

This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report.

The Company does not use any form of derivatives as it is not at a level of exposure that required the use of derivatives to hedge its exposure. Exposure limits are reviewed on a continuous basis. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instrumentals, for speculative purposes.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through regular review of the risks.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’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 Company’s reputation.

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The entity does not have any external borrowings.

The Company has total trade and other payables and borrowings of $15,765,600 (2022: $13,178,755) all due in less than 6 to 12 months.

G e n e s i s R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d | 2 0 2 3 A n n u a l R e p o r t

P a g e | 36

(c) Market Risk

The company is exposed to currency risk on exploration expenditures in relation to overseas projects that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Company, the Australian dollar (“AUD”). Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Company does not hedge foreign currency exposures.

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

ollows:
	2023	2023	2022	2022
Expressed in AUD	USD	MKD	USD	MKD
Trade and other payables	-	54,799	-	48,139
Other receivables- Bank Guarantee	-	67,190	-	67,190
Borrowings	1,207,830	-	1,379,010	-

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2023, had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by +/-5% (30 June 2022: weakened/strengthened by +/-5 %) there would have been a decrease / increase of $78,828 (30 June 2022: decrease / increase of $75,454) on the consolidated entity’s profit before tax for the year ended 30 June 2023. The percentage change is the expected overall volatility of the significant currencies, which is based on management’s assessment of reasonable possible fluctuations taking into consideration movements over the last 6 months each year and the spot rate at each reporting date. The actual foreign exchange loss for the year ended 30 June 2023 was $1,227 (30 June 2022: loss of $1,867).

(i) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate with the market interest rates on interest-bearing financial instruments. The Company does not use derivatives to mitigate these exposures.

The Company adopts a policy of ensuring that as far as possible it maintains excess cash and cash equivalents in short term deposits at interest rates maturing over 30 – 180 day rolling periods.

As at the end of the reporting period, if the interest rate had increased/(decreased) by +/-2 % (30 June 2022: increased/(decreased) by +/- 2%), there would be an increase / decrease of $7,532 (30 June 2022: decrease / increase of $3,869) on the consolidated entity’s profit before tax for the year ended 30 June 2023. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analyst forecasts.

(d) Fair value measurement

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

As at 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022, the consolidated entity does not have assets and liabilities subsequently measured or disclosed at fair value using the three level hierarchy described as below :

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

NOTE 3: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The consolidated entity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Recoverability of deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure

The consolidated entity assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure at each reporting date, or at closer intervals should the need arise. The assessment includes a review of the consolidated entity’s exploration and development plans for each area of interest, the success or otherwise of activities undertaken in those areas in recent times, the likely success of future planned exploration activities and/or any potential plans for divestment of those areas. The carrying value of the deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure is then adjusted, if necessary.

In considering the carrying value of the Plavica Project of $20,344,535 (2022: $19,902,344), management has assumed that sufficient funds will be raised, and a feasibility study completed before October 2018. A 30-year Exploitation License and Concession Agreement were granted to Silgen Resources International Ltd, an incorporated joint venture entity owned by Genesis and its Macedonian-based joint venture partner RIK Sileks AD Kratovo. Silgen is 62% owned by Genesis.

NOTE 30: SEGMENT REPORTING

The consolidated entity has reportable segments, as described below, which are the consolidated entity’s business units. The two business units, Australia and Macedonia, are managed separately because they are regulated under different authorities. For each of the business units, the Company’s CEO (or equivalent) reviews internal reports on at least a quarterly basis. The following summary describes the operations in each of the consolidated entity’s reportable segments:

Australia – Includes copper, iron, gold, manganese and other base metal exploration projects in the Northern Territory and Queensland.
Macedonia – Includes a base metal and gold exploration project.
Head office – Includes the central administration of Australia and Macedonia.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as described in Note 1.

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. As both segments are in the early stages of exploration, there is no associated segment profit, as expenditure is capitalised. Comparative segment information has been represented in conformity with the requirements of AASB 8 Operating Segments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of Genesis Resources Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Genesis Resources Limited (‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries (together ‘the Consolidated Entity’), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 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 Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

(i) giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity's financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) 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 Consolidated Entity 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.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(e) in the financial report, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred losses of $1,972,139 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,069,006 and investing activities of $361,887 for the year ended 30 June 2023. As at that date, the Consolidated Entity’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $15,265,639. These events and conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(e), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Consolidated Entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

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. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter	How our audit addressed this matter
*Carrying Value of Capitalised Exploration Expenditure* Refer to Note 18 in the financial Statements
The Consolidated Entity has capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, with a carrying value of $22,025,667 as at 30 June 2023. Under AASB 6_Exploration for and Evaluation of_ Mineral Resources(' AASB 6’)_,_the Consolidated Entity is required to make an assessment on the exploration and evaluation asset for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed the recoverable amount. We determined this to be a key audit matter due to the significant management judgment involved in assessing the carrying value of the asset.	Our audit procedures in relation to the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure included: • Obtaining evidence that the Consolidated Entity has valid rights to explore in the specific areas of interest; • Testing that exploration and evaluation costs capitalised are in accordance with the measurement criteria of AASB 6, and that the costs were allocated to the correct areas of interest; • Enquiring with management and reviewing the basis on which they have determined that the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources has not yet reached the stage where it can be concluded that no commercially viable quantities of mineral resources exists; • Enquiring with management and reviewing budgets and plans to corroborate that the Consolidated Entity has plans to incur substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific areas of interest; and • Reviewing minutes of director meetings to ensure that the Consolidated Entity has not resolved to discontinue activities in the specific area of interest.

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed this matter

Carrying Value of Capitalised Exploration Expenditure
Refer to Note 18 in the financial Statements

The Consolidated Entity has capitalised exploration
and evaluation expenditure, with a carrying value of
$22,025,667 as at 30 June 2023.
Under AASB 6_Exploration for and Evaluation of_
Mineral Resources(' AASB 6’)_,_the Consolidated
Entity is required to make an assessment on the
exploration and evaluation asset for impairment
when facts and circumstances suggest that the
carrying amount may exceed the recoverable
amount. We determined this to be a key audit matter
due to the significant management judgment
involved in assessing the carrying value of the asset.

Our audit procedures in relation to the carrying value of
exploration and evaluation expenditure included:
•
Obtaining evidence that the Consolidated Entity has
valid rights to explore in the specific areas of
interest;
•
Testing that exploration and evaluation costs
capitalised
are
in
accordance
with
the
measurement criteria of AASB 6, and that the costs
were allocated to the correct areas of interest;
•
Enquiring with management and reviewing the
basis on which they have determined that the
exploration and evaluation of mineral resources has
not yet reached the stage where it can be concluded
that no commercially viable quantities of mineral
resources exists;
•
Enquiring with management and reviewing budgets
and plans to corroborate that the Consolidated
Entity has plans to incur substantive expenditure on
further exploration for and evaluation of mineral
resources in the specific areas of interest; and
•
Reviewing minutes of director meetings to ensure
that the Consolidated Entity has not resolved to
discontinue activities in the specific area of interest.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Consolidated Entity's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, but does not include the financial report and the 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 Consolidated Entity 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 Consolidated Entity 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 the 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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar2_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
