Notes:

  1. The difference between cash and cash equivalents position in the Company’s audited financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2016 and cash on hand pre-admission in the table above relates to the Company incurring corporate overheads, project expenditure and one-off costs associated with the initial public offering.

  2. Costs of the Prospectus offers include fees to the lead manager of the Share Offer and the other costs identified in section 10.11 of the Prospectus.

  3. Working capital costs comprises the Company’s administration and overhead costs, and include operating expenses, accounting costs, auditing costs, insurance costs, legal costs, share registry costs, directors’ fees, ASX fees and regulatory compliance costs and expenses.

  4. The exploration and development expenditure is in respect of areas which are the subject of granted tenements, and includes annual rental payments and rates.

  5. The use of funds may change depending on any intervening events or changes in the Company’s circumstances. The Board reserves the right to change the way funds are used and applied.

  6. Exploration expenditures will be reviewed on an on-going basis, depending upon the nature of results forthcoming from the respective work programmes.

  7. It is the Company’s intention to undertake exploration and drilling programmes to achieve results as soon as practicable and, subject to encouraging results being obtained, to delineate JORC Code compliant mineral resources. The Company may seek to raise additional funds within 2 years after listing on ASX to the extent required to increase and accelerate exploration and drilling programmes, as determined by the Board.

  8. It is anticipated that the funds available as unallocated working capital may be applied towards any contingency resulting in unforeseen expenses associated with the Company’s existing Projects and also towards expenses incurred in identifying and generating new mineral exploration projects or assets. Such expenses may include the cost of purchasing exploration data, commissioning expert reports and studies, acquiring exploration rights and due diligence costs of reviewing potentially suitable projects including associated travel, legal and other professional expenses.

The unaudited pro forma statement of financial position represents the audited statement of financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2016 adjusted for the subsequent events and pro forma transactions outlined in Note 1 below. It should be read in conjunction with the notes to the historical and pro forma financial information.

NOTES:

1. Statement of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The significant accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the historical and the Pro forma Historical Financial Information are:

(b) Basis of measurement

The historical and pro forma financial information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss , which are measured at fair value.

==> picture [595 x 57] intentionally omitted <==

(c) Functional and presentation currency

The historical and pro forma financial information has been presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional currency.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

(e) Going concern

The historical and pro forma financial information has been prepared on a 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.

(f) 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 the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustments recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

(g) Interest Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(h) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the period in which the decision is made.

(i) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the financial period and which are unpaid, together with assets ordered before the end of the financial period. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

==> picture [595 x 57] intentionally omitted <==

(j) Cash and cash equivalents

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.

(k) GST

Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated as inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

(l) 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.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

(m) Issued Capital

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.

(n) Share-based payment transactions

The Company provides benefits to employees and other parties in the form of share based payments, whereby the employees and parties provide services in exchange for shares and other securities in the Company. The cost of the equity settled share based payment transactions is determined by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

The fair value of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance/ and or service conditions are fulfilled (“vesting period”).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects:

(i) The grant date fair value;

  • (ii) The extent to which the vesting period has expired; and

  • (iii) The number of equity instruments 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.

No expense is recognised for equity instruments that do not ultimately vest, except for equity instruments where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.
