Chairperson’s Address

On behalf of the Board of Globe Metals & Mining Limited (“Globe” or “the Group”), it is my pleasure to present to you the 2018 Annual Report.

Consistent with the strategy outlined in my address in the 2017 Annual Report, the Group has maintained momentum on cost reductions while advancing the development agreement for Kanyika, updating the engineering studies and designs as part of a program aimed at finalising the technical components of a Feasibility Study, and assessing a range of project financing options.

The negotiations for the Kanyika Development Agreement with the Government of Malawi are progressing well with only a few areas requiring finalisation. The feasibility study, technical designs and development plans are largely complete leaving the future focus firmly on project funding and off-take arrangements. As a consequence of the demand and price outlook for niobium improving and financing opportunities gathering momentum in recent times, the Board and management is optimistic in realising project financing and development opportunities in the near term.

On a positive note for Kanyika, global steel demand is predicted to maintain strong growth driven by infrastructure investment in developed and developing companies, according to latest reports by the World Steel Association. Worldsteel forecasts that the growth in global steel demand will be 4.5% in 2019 in emerging and developing economies (excluding China). And as demand for higher quality steels rises as a proportion of all steel demand, the need for niobium is increasing at a faster rate than steel output. Industry reports forecast that the usage of niobium in steel production should increase by about CAGR 12% over the next decade. These combinations of growth and demand bode well for the price of niobium. As does the new emerging market of niobium in new technologies like wind turbines, medical imaging, particle accelerators, as well as an exciting development in the manufacture of batteries for electrical vehicles. In October 2017, Toshiba announced that niobium would be a critical component of its next generation SCiB[TM ] rechargeable battery for electric vehicles; which it aims to have in production by fiscal year 2019, and which will have much improved performance, longer-life, quicker charging, and improved safety.

In the coming year the Group will continue to be cost prudent, review and consider other cash generation opportunities that are accretive to shareholder value, and maintain momentum on Kanyika development opportunities.

In closing, I thank all shareholders, board of directors, and employees for their support of the Group in the year past and I am looking forward to their continued support in the year to come.

Yours sincerely, GLOBE METALS & MINING LIMITED

Review of Operations

Globe Metals and Mining Limited (Globe) is an Australian registered public company and has been listed on the ASX since December 2005 (ASX: GBE). The Company has an administration and operational centre in Lilongwe, Malawi in support of its on-the-ground Project exploration activities that currently employs 4 staff. The Malawi operations are supported from Globe’s corporate head office in Perth, Australia.

Globe’s Kanyika Niobium Project, which is located in central Malawi, has contains niobium and tantalum mineralisation commodities that are key additives in steel manufacture and electronics.

Kanyika Niobium Project

Overview

Globe identified niobium and tantalum mineralisation in 2007 at Kanyika. Subsequent drilling confirmed the mineralisation leading to an extensive exploration and metallurgical testwork program. A scoping study in 2008 and further drilling led to a feasibility study in 2012 and the release of a JORC (2004) Mineral Resource Estimate in January 2013 (refer below).

During 2013, Globe commissioned metallurgical optimisation work, and subsequently in 2014 commissioned a pilot plant to demonstrate and further optimise metallurgical processes.

Product Marketing and Off-Take

Globe continues to explore avenues for KNP product off-take to complete the KNP definitive feasibility study. In an effort to satisfy purchasers seeking high-purity niobium products – samples were prepared and distributed.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property (IP) developed as part of the KNP feasibility study and subsequent optimisation work has been consolidated into provisional patent applications that were initially filed with IP Australia and subsequently filed with African Regional Intellectual Property Organisation (ARIPO).

Development Agreement

The Kanyika Exclusive Prospecting Licence (EPL1088) was due for expiry at the end of December 2014. In early December 2014, Globe applied for a Mining Licence. Globe received notification in June 2015 from Malawi Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy & Mining (MMNREM) that its application for a Mining Lease, currently registered as AML0026, has been approved subject to completion of a Development Agreement. The Development Agreement negotiations are continuing in good faith with the Government of Malawi.

Government and Community Relations

The Kanyika Workplace Certificate was renewed by the Ministry of Labour. The Relocation Plan is with the Ministry of Labour. A review of the Environmental Impact Assessment will be undertaken at the completion of optimisation activities.

Project Development and Financing

During the year, the executive team examined opportunities for project enhancement, including reconfiguration of project arrangements, and had advanced discussion with various regulators, stakeholders and other parties regarding project development and financing.

Statement of Mineral Resources

On 11 July 2018, Globe published an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Kanyika Niobium Project (KNP) calculated in accordance with 2012 JORC guidelines.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED

This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2018 outlines the remuneration arrangements of the Group in accordance with the requirements of Corporations Act 2001 (the Act) and its regulations. This information has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Act.

The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel (KMP) who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent.

For the purposes of this report, the term “executive” includes the Managing Director (MD), executive directors (where applicable) and senior executives of the Group.

A. Remuneration Governance

The Board of Directors has established a Committee for the purpose of reviewing and making recommendations with respect to the remuneration practices of the Company.

The Committee comprises Mr Alex Ko (Chairperson), Mr Bill Hayden and Ms Alice Wong; all of whom are non-executive directors.

The Board of Directors has prepared and approved a charter as the basis on which the Committee will be constituted and operated. The role of the Committee is to provide a mechanism for the determination, implementation and assessment of the remuneration practices of the Company, including remuneration packages and incentive schemes for executive Directors and senior management, and fees payable to Non-Executive Directors.

The Committee is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:

  • ➢ the overarching executive remuneration framework;

  • ➢ the operation of incentive plans (if any) which apply to the executive team, including key performance indicators and performance hurdles;

  • ➢ the remuneration levels of executive directors and other KMP; and

  • ➢ the fees payable to non-executive directors.

The Committee’s objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive, and aligned with the longterm interests of the Group.

The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of the Remuneration Committee.

B. Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Globe Metals & Mining Limited and its Controlled Entities has been designed to align Director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates and offering specific incentives, from time to time, that are based on share price and key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results.

The Board of Directors of Globe believes the remuneration policy is appropriate and effective in its ability to attract, retain and motivate suitably qualified and experienced Directors and executives to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence between the Directors, executives and the Company’s shareholders.

C. Remuneration Arrangements

All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation (in accordance with relevant legislation). Executive remuneration may also incorporate a component of performance based remuneration.

The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

Non-executive directors are remunerated at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently $600,000).

The Board of Directors may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options.

All remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options are independently valued by corporate advisers using the Black-Scholes method and Monte Carlo Model. Shares are valued at Market Value.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

D. Performance Based Remuneration

The Company believes that linking the remuneration of Directors and executives with performance will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth.

From time to time, the Board of Directors may establish performance targets and a bonus system for the purposes of providing directors and executives with short-term and long-term performance incentives. Such incentives are offered to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors and executives.

There are currently no incentive programs in place, apart from options which have previously been granted to the Managing Director and CEO. The options were not based on a percentage of salary. The Board of Directors issued the options to the Managing Director and CEO as an incentive.

I. Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2017 Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Under the ‘two strikes’ legislation which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the eligible votes cast on the adoption of the remuneration report of the Company at two consecutive annual general meetings are against the adoption of the remuneration report, the Company must put to the shareholders a ‘spill resolution’. If the spill resolution is passed, the Company must hold another general meeting of the Company’s shareholders (“spill meeting”) within 90 days of passing of the resolution.

At the Company’s 2017 AGM, a resolution to adopt the prior year remuneration report was put to a shareholder vote pursuant to the requirements of Section 250R92) of the Corporations Act 2001. Key Management Personnel, and their Closely Related Party(s), were excluded from voting on the resolution. 99.45% of votes were cast against adoption of the resolution reflecting a second successive strike, and hence, a spill resolution was put to shareholders at the Company’s 201 7 AGM. The spill resolution was passed at the Company’s 201 7 AGM resulting in a requirement to call a spill meeting.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

A spill meeting was held on 17 January 2018 at which all directorships were vacated as required, with the exception of the Managing Director, and resolutions were put to shareholders appoint persons as directors as per the notice of meeting. The shareholders of the Company voted to return all of the directors who had been required to vacate office and no new directors were appointed. Given that the spill meeting resulted in all existing Directors being re-elected and no new Directors nominating, and in the absence of any feedback being received from shareholders despite request from the Company, the Board has taken no further action.

No comments were made on the remuneration report at the 2017 AGM or at the 2018 Spill Meeting.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 28 September 2018.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Globe Metals & Mining Limited (‘Globe’ or ‘the Company’) and its controlled entities (‘Consolidated Entity’ or ‘Group’). Globe is a for-profit entity.

a. Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 , as appropriate for profit-oriented entities.

(i) Compliance with IFRS

The financial report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited and controlled entities complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘AIFRS’). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

  • (ii) New and amended standards adopted by the group

None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2017 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods.

(iii) Historical Cost Convention

The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of available-for-sale financial assets which is measured at fair value.

(iv) Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.

b. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2017. 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

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

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and 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(s) with the other vote holders of the investee

  • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements

  • 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 consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited & Controlled Entities Annual Financial Report 2018

19

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Profit or loss and each component of 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.

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 derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognised at fair value.

c. 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, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of directors.

d. Foreign Currency Translation

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates, currently being the Australian Dollar for each of the entities. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when the fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit and loss for the period, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

e. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues at an effective interest rate.

f. Reserves

The AFS reserve represents the gains and losses of available-for-sale financial assets.

g. Income Tax

Current Tax

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Consolidated Entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited & Controlled Entities Annual Financial Report 2018

20

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Current and Deferred Taxation

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

h. Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities in the Group are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values.

Leased assets are depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Group will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease.

Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

i. Impairment

(i) Financial Assets

The group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered an indicator that the assets are impaired.

For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If there is objective evidence of impairment for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when any of the following facts and circumstances exists:

  • the term of the exploration licence in the specific area of interest has expired during the reporting period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;

  • substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area are not budgeted nor planned;

  • exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area of interest have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the decision was made to discontinue such activities in the specific area of interest; or

  • sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in the specific area of interest is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

Where a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each cash generating unit (“CGU”) which is no larger than the area of interest. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

(iii) Non-financial Assets Other Than Exploration and Evaluation Assets

The carrying amounts of the Consolidated Entity’s non-financial assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

j. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

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

k. Term Deposits

Term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise of term deposits held by the bank which have a maturity of between three and six months.

l. Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Consolidated Entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

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

  • the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or

  • activities in the area of interest have not, at the reporting 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.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

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 expenditure to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the life of the mine.

m. Investments and Other Financial Assets

Classification

The group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at the end of each reporting date.

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables (note 9) in the balance sheet.

(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. Investments are designated as available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term.

Financial assets – reclassification

The group may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held for trading category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held for trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the group may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held for trading or available-for-sale categories if the group has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.

Recognition and de-recognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the group 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 group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss as gains and losses from investment securities.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are presented in profit or loss within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss as part of revenue from continuing operations when the group’s right to receive payments is established. Interest income from these financial assets is included in the net gains/(losses).

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and nonmonetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 2.

n. Plant and Equipment

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

The depreciable amount of all Motor vehicle and Leasehold assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Plant and equipment, Furniture and fittings and Software assets are depreciated using the diminishing value method. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets vary from 3% to 40% with the average rate being 30%.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of comprehensive income.

o. Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debt.

p. Trade and Other Payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Consolidated Entity.

Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

q. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) where, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outlay 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.

Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

r. Employee Benefits

Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled 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. The liability for annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

Retirement benefit obligations

All employees of the group are entitled to benefits from the group’s superannuation plan on retirement, disability or death or can direct the group to make contributions to a defined contribution plan of their choice.

Contributions to superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

Equity Settled Compensation

The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity-settled transaction”).

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 a valuation by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

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 reporting 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.

Where 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 increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited & Controlled Entities Annual Financial Report 2018

24

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, 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.

s. 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.

Where any group company purchases the company’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back or a sharebased payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the owners as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued.

Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners.

t. Earnings Per Share

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, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares

Diluted earnings per share

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

  • after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and

  • weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

u. Goods and Services Tax and other Value Added Taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and other Value Added Taxes (VAT), except where the amount of GST or VAT incurred is not recoverable from the applicable taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST and VAT are 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 and VAT.

The net amount of GST or VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flow on a gross basis. The GST and VAT components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authorities are classified as operating cash flows.

v. Rounding of amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in financial/Directors’ report) Instrument 2016/191. Therefore, amounts in the directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.

w. Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Globe Metals and Mining Limited, disclosed in note 28 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

(i) Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Globe Metals and Mining Limited.

x. New accounting standards and interpretations

The Group applied all new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, which are effective for annual periods beginning on 1 July 2017. Although these new standards and amendments applied for the first time in 2018, they did not have a material impact on the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group.

AASB 9 Financial
Instruments
AASB 9 (December 2014) is a new standard which
replaces AASB 139. This new version supersedes
AASB 9 issued in December 2009 (as amended)
and AASB 9 (issued in December 2010) and
includes a model for classification and
measurement, a single, forward-looking
‘expected loss’ impairment model and a
substantially-reformed approach to hedge
accounting.
The Standard is available for early adoption. The
own credit changes can be early adopted in
isolation without otherwise changing the
accounting for financial instruments.
Classification and measurement
AASB 9 includes requirements for a simpler
approach for classification and measurement of
financial assets compared with the requirements
of AASB 139.
The main changes are described below.
Financial assets
a.
Financial assets that are debt instruments will
be classified based on (1) the objective of
the entity's business model for managing the
financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the
contractual cash flows.
b.
Allows an irrevocable election on initial
recognition to present gains and losses on
investments in equity instruments that are not
held for trading in other comprehensive
income. Dividends in respect of these
investments that are a return on investment
can be recognised in profit or loss and there
is no impairment or recycling on disposal of
the instrument.
c.
Financial assets can be designated and
measured at fair value through profit or loss
at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or
significantly reduces a measurement or
recognition inconsistency that would arise
from measuring assets or liabilities, or
recognising the gains and losses on them, on
different bases.

Financial liabilities
Changes introduced by AASB 9 in respect of
financial liabilities are limited to the measurement of
liabilities designated at fair value through profit or
loss (FVPL) using the fair value option.
Where the fair value option is used for financial
liabilities, the change in fair value is to be
accounted for as follows:

The change attributable to changes in
credit risk are presented in other
comprehensive income (OCI)

The remaining change is presented in
profit or loss
AASB 9 also removes the volatility in profit or loss
that was caused by changes in the credit risk of
liabilities elected to be measured at fair value. This
change in accounting means that gains or losses
attributable to changes in the entity’s own credit
risk would be recognised in OCI. These amounts
recognised in OCI are not recycled to profit or loss if
the liability is ever repurchased at a discount.
Impairment
The final version of AASB 9 introduces a new
expected-loss impairment model that will require
more timely recognition of expected credit losses.
Specifically, the new Standard requires entities to
account for expected credit losses from when
financial instruments are first recognised and to
recognise full lifetime expected losses on a more
timely basis.
Hedge accounting
Amendments to AASB 9 (December 2009 & 2010
editions and AASB 2013-9) issued in December 2013
included the new hedge accounting requirements,
including changes to hedge effectiveness testing,
treatment of hedging costs, risk components that
can be hedged and disclosures.
Consequential amendments were also made to
other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by
AASB 2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7,
AASB 2010-10 and AASB 2014-1 – Part E.
AASB 2014-7 incorporates the consequential
amendments arising from the issuance of AASB 9 in
Dec 2014.
AASB 2014-8 limits the application of the existing
versions of AASB 9 (AASB 9 (December 2009) and
AASB 9 (December 2010)) from 1 February 2015 and
applies to annual reporting periods beginning on
after 1 January 2015.

AASB 15 incorporates the requirements of IFRS 15

AASB 15 specifies the accounting treatment for
revenue arising from contracts with customers
(except for contracts within the scope of other
accounting standards such as leases or financial
instruments). The core principle of AASB 15 is that an
entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in
accordance with that core principle by applying
the following steps:
(a)
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a
customer
(b)
Step 2: Identify the performance
obligations in the contract
(c)
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
(d)
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to
the performance obligations in the contract
(e)
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as)
the entity satisfies a performance obligation
AASB 2015-8 amended the AASB 15 effective date
so it is now effective for annual reporting periods
commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Early
application is permitted.
AASB 2014-5 incorporates the consequential

AASB 16 Leases The key features of AASB 16 are as follows:
Lessee accounting
• Lessees are required to recognise assets
and liabilities for all leases with a term of
more than 12 months, unless the
underlying asset is of low value.
• A lessee measures right-of-use assets
similarly to other non-financial assets and
lease liabilities similarly to other financial
liabilities.
• Assets and liabilities arising from a lease
are initially measured on a present value
basis. The measurement includes non-
cancellable lease payments (including
inflation-linked payments), and also
includes payments to be made in
optional periods if the lessee is
reasonably certain to exercise an option
to extend the lease, or not to exercise an
option to terminate the lease.
• AASB 16 contains disclosure requirements
for lessees.
Lessor accounting
• AASB 16 substantially carries forward the
lessor accounting requirements in AASB
117. Accordingly, a lessor continues to
classify its leases as operating leases or
finance leases, and to account for those
two types of leases differently.
• AASB 16 also requires enhanced
disclosures to be provided by lessors that
will improve information disclosed about
a lessor’s risk exposure, particularly to
residual value risk.
AASB 16 supersedes:
(a) AASB 117 Leases
(b) Interpretation 4 Determining whether an

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise of cash. The Group also has other financial instruments such as trade and other debtors and creditors, which arise directly from its operations, and available for sale financial assets.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments and the Group’s policies for managing these risks are summarised below:

Interest Rate Risk

The Group does not have short or long-term cash deposits or debt, and therefore this risk is minimal. An analysis by maturities is provided in (i) below.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group entity has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The credit risk on financial assets of the Group is reflected in those assets' carrying amount net of any provisions for impairment.

The Group currently holds majority of its cash and cash equivalents with National Australia Bank with a credit rating of Aa3. The Group believes the credit risk exposure is negligible given the strong credit rating of the counterparty.

Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency. The majority of expenses incurred are in AUD and therefore risk is not significant. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Group denominated in foreign currencies are not material to the Group.

Concentration risk

The parent entity is exposed to concentration risk due to 94% of its cash and cash equivalents being held within the one financial institution – National Australia Bank. The Group manages this risk through monitoring of the credit rating of the institution.

Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate short-term cash facilities are maintained. At the end of the year the group held deposits at call of $9,338,603 (2017: $11,347,390) which are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.

(i) Interest rate risk exposures

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities is set out in the following table:

Sensitivity analysis

The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis in relation to interest income and movements in interest rates on financial assets and liabilities. The analysis highlights the effect on the current year’s pre-tax loss which would have resulted from movement in interest rates with all other variables remaining constant.

Consolidated
2018 2017
$’000 $’000
Change in loss
- increase in interest rate by 0.5% (47) (35)
- decrease in interest rate by 0.5% 47 35

Fair value hierarchy

All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows:

  • ➢ Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • ➢ Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

  • ➢ Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements is unobservable

For all asset and liabilities that are recognised at fair value on recurring basis, the group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The available-for-sale financial assets are level one in the fair value hierarchy.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements and estimates relating to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates made. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

The key estimates and assumptions tat have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next accounting period are:

(i) Exploration and evaluation expenditure The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in expenditure being capitalised for an area of interest where it is considered likely to be recoverable by future exploitation or sale or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. This policy requires management to make certain estimates as to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to profit and loss. Refer to note 12 for details of the judgement applied in the current period in relation to exploration and evaluation expenditure.

(ii) Income taxes

Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from temporary differences, are recognised only when it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised. Refer to note 7 for details of the judgement applied in the current period in relation to income taxes.

(iii) Tax provisions

Judgement is required in calculating tax provisions relating to potential tax obligations in foreign jurisdictions where the legislation and case law is not established. Tax provisions are recognised when it is considered more likely than not that an amount will be payable. Refer to note 14 for details of the judgement applied in the current period in relation to tax provisions.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The consolidated entity has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.

The consolidated entity has two reportable segments which are based on the stage of development of its projects, which are broadly in either of two groups: those in the exploration phase or those in the evaluation stage. Unallocated results, assets and liabilities represent corporate amounts that are not core to the reportable segments.

Prior period information may be restated to reflect the current composition of reportable segments.

Activity by segment

- Africa Kanyika

The Africa-Kanyika segment includes the Kanyika Niobium project in Malawi which is host to a 2012 JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate of 68.3Mt @ 2,830ppm Nb2O5 (niobium pentoxide) and 135ppm Ta5O5 (tantalum pentoxide) at a 1,500 ppm Nb2O5 cut-off.

The Kanyika Niobium project is currently at the evaluation stage.

- Africa Exploration

The Africa-Exploration segment includes the following projects, all of which are in the exploration stage:

Kanyika Niobium Project

The Directors have considered the requirements of AASB 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, and have reviewed the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditures that relate to the Kanyika Niobium Project. Based on the review, the directors consider the carrying value of the Kanyika Niobium Project is supported by the anticipated future value. Furthermore, there are no indications that the carrying value of the Kanyika Niobium Project was impaired at 30 June 2018.

Chiziro Graphite Project

The carrying value of the Chiziro Graphite Project was written down to nil at 30 June 2017 following an assessment of the recoverable amount of the Chiziro Graphite Project

Other

The value of the Group’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:

  • the continuance of the consolidated entity’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest;

  • the results of future exploration; and

  • the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.

  • no significant changes in laws and regulations that greatly impact the company’s ability to maintain tenure.

The Group’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to indigenous people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.

The Provision for Foreign Tax is based upon assessments received for value-added tax, non-residents tax and withholding tax from the Malawi Revenue Authority. The provision has been estimated by the Company by considering advice from their tax experts and by estimating the expected outcome of the assessments based on the potential success of the claims. The Company is currently defending all of these claims.

(b) Management of Share Capital

The Directors primary objectivity is to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Group. At reporting date, the Group has no external borrowings.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Unmarketable Parcel Share Buy-Back

An unmarketable parcel share buy-back program for holders of parcels of Globe shares with a market value of less than $500 was completed on 27 March 2018. Under the program, the Company bought-back the shareholdings of holders of unmarketable parcels who did not elect to retain their shares, resulting in the Company buying back 3,806,689 shares at a total cost of $72k , representing a Buy-Back price of 1.9 cents per share.

Capital Risk Management

The consolidated entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends, return capital to shareholders, issue/buy-back shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current parent entity’s share price at the time of investment. The consolidated entity is not currently pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2017 annual report.

(c) Terms of Ordinary Shares

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of shares held and in proportion to the amount paid up on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value.

At shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote in proportion to the paid up amount of the share when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

At the end of reporting period, there are 465,922,373 shares on issue.

(d) Terms of Options

  • At the end of reporting period, there were 2,000,000 options over unissued shares as follows:

  • 1,000,000 unlisted options, exercisable at $0.20 on or before 30 June 2019.

  • 1,000,000 unlisted options, exercisable at $0.25 on or before 30 June 2020.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Globe Metals & Mining Limited

Report on the audit of the financial report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 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 consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2018 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; 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 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Repor t section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.

1. Carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation

Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
The carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets is
subjective as it is based on the Group’s ability, and
intention, to continue to explore the asset. The carrying
value is also impacted by the results of exploration work.
This creates a risk that the amounts stated in the
consolidated financial statements may not be recoverable.
Refer to note 12 – Exploration and evaluation assets to the
consolidated financial statements for the amounts held on
the consolidated statement of financial position by the
Group as at 30 June 2018 and related disclosure.
We evaluated the Group’s assessment of the carrying value
of exploration and evaluation assets. In obtaining sufficient
audit evidence, we:

Considered the Group’s right to explore in the relevant
exploration area which included obtaining and assessing
supporting documentation such as license agreements

Considered the Group’s intention to carry out
exploration and evaluation activity in the relevant
exploration area which included assessment of the
Group’s cash-flow forecast models, as well as enquiries
with senior management and Directors as to the
intentions and strategy of the Group

Examined the Group’s analysis of the commercial
viability of results relating to exploration and evaluation
activities carried out in the relevant licensed area to
determine if anything has come to our attention that
indicates they are not viable

Assessed the ability to finance any planned future
exploration and evaluation activity.

2. Provision for foreign tax

Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
The Group is subject to the tax laws of both Australia and
Malawi. As disclosed in note 14 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Group recognised a provision for foreign tax
based upon assessments received, which the Group is
currently disputing. In determining the amount of the
provision recognised, the Group has taken into account legal
precedent and the advice of external experts. This is an area
of significant judgment as detailed in note 3(iii) of the
consolidated financial statements.
We evaluated the provision for foreign tax and assessed
correspondence from tax authorities and external tax
advisors.
We assessed the adequacy of the taxation provisions by
considering factors such as the risk profile of each matter.
We evaluated the judgments made in relation to the
likelihood of litigation from tax authorities by comparing the
Group's assessment against our own independent views
which are based on our perception of risk. We involved our
tax specialists in performing these procedures.

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 Company’s 2018 Annual Report, 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, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.

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.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

==> picture [71 x 81] intentionally omitted <==

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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating 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 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment 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.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

==> picture [71 x 81] intentionally omitted <==

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.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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 to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year 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.

Report on the audit of the remuneration report

Opinion on the remuneration report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 8 to 12 of the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2018.

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
