Chairman’s and Chief Executive Officer’s Letter
Review of Operations
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board, we are delighted to present Great Divide Mining Ltd’s (GDM) first Annual Report as an ASX listed company. In this Annual Report we outline what the Company achieved in 2023 and our priorities for 2024.
GDM IPO – Unrivalled Success
2023 was a momentous year for GDM, with our Prospectus lodged in May 2023 inviting investors to become shareholders in a new gold and critical minerals business. GDM’s vision of responsibly transitioning exploration projects to cashflow resonated with our investors, closing the offer oversubscribed and listing strongly. The performance and market support in the short period since listing has confirmed that we have the right projects and plans.
GDM’s Prospectus, lodged with the ASIC on 26 May 2023, provided an exploration plan for the Company’s four projects. This plan was summarised in the Company’s IPO Presentation (see Figure below).
This Annual Report relates to the period ended 30 June 2023, which was prior to the Company’s admission to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange and accordingly prior to the completion of the transactions set out in the IPO Prospectus, including the acquisition of the projects, and the completion of the IPO capital raising. During the period ended 30 June 2023, the Company’s sole activity was progressing towards an ASX Listing including completing the acquisition of the projects.
As a result, the accounts set out in this document are unconsolidated and not necessarily reflective of the Company’s current post-listing position. The following review of operations sets out the Company’s current post-listing activities.
As at the date of this report, the Company has commenced the following works:
2023 Performance
The 2023 year was dedicated to bringing the Company, its excellent assets, and the GDM team onto the ASX. While challenging, the Board is pleased with the performance of the Company during this period.
Looking forward to 2024
The Board and Company remains focused and optimistic to deliver outcomes for our shareholders throughout 2024 and beyond. Our exploration and development planning, honed through the IPO process, is being rapidly rolled out across our four Projects. The Company will soon deliver the first key outcome at the Yellow Jack Gold Project, with the imminent release of the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Project. This will be rapidly followed by confirmation and infill drilling, setting Yellow Jack as our primary development target.
General
-
Exploration planning: the exploration plans developed prior to IPO are being refined and advanced.
-
• Safety: the Company has engaged the services of SSE Co to develop a Safety Health Management System (SHMS), provide Site Senior Executive services at our Project sites, and provide Safety reporting tools and services.
-
Sample Preparation: the Company has sourced sample cutting, crushing and splitting equipment and is awaiting delivery of a portable XRF analyser.
-
Geological services: providers suitable for the planned works have been identified and are being contracted.
-
Project Costs: Turner & Townsend Pty Ltd have been engaged to provide project controls (cost and schedule) systems advice and support.
The significant historical works at both the Coonambula and Devils Mountain Projects will enable outcome focused exploration works targeting shallow antimony and gold resources. The Gibraltar Rock porphyry system is also firming up as an excellent large-scale target within the Devils Mountain Project.
The GDM Board and Management Team are proud of what we have achieved in 2023 and look forward to delivery of exploration outcomes through 2024.
We thank you for your ongoing support,
Yours sincerely

Director’s Report (continued)
Operating and Financial Review (continued)
The Company’s initial focus is on exploration and, where appropriate, development of its Projects for Gold, Antimony and Copper, with Lithium and Rare Earth Metals being a secondary focus. The Company’s aim is to build shareholder value by acquiring, exploring and exploiting mineral resources within its four Projects:
-
Yellow Jack Project (YJP),
-
Coonambula Project (CP),
-
Devils Mountain Project (DMP), and
-
Cape Project (Cape),
The Projects are all located in Queensland within recognised major mineral provinces with a number of significant mines in operation or under development in the near vicinity.
Following Listing, the Company’s primary focus will be conducting exploration works including drilling to define resources on its Projects to the standards of The Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code) in order to assess and where appropriate, pursue development options including undertaking studies on its Projects as set out below.
The objectives of the Company are to:
- Undertake exploration on each of the Projects that have the potential to deliver growth of the Company for the benefit of Shareholders, including the identification and development of cash flow generating projects as a priority.
To achieve this, the Company intends to undertake the exploration programs. The results of the exploration programs will determine the economic viability and possible timing for the commencement of further testing or studies leading to development and mining operations on the Projects in future, if appropriate.
-
Conduct scoping studies and other economic evaluation studies on its Projects, when appropriate. Where the Company considers it appropriate and based on exploration results, the Company intends to conduct studies (including economic studies such as scoping, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies) to assess the prospects of development and mining operations on the Projects in future.
-
Pursue a roll up strategy targeting good quality assets in the resource sector where the owner has limited resources to create additional Shareholder value in the future.
Although the Company’s immediate focus will be on the Projects, the Company will pursue and assess other business opportunities in the resources sector. Subject to funding constraints, new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisition, joint venture, farm-ins, and direct equity participation. The Company is not currently considering further acquisitions and that future acquisitions are likely to be in the mineral resources sector.
The success of the Company in executing this strategy is subject to a number of key dependencies, namely:
-
retaining and recruiting key personnel skilled in the mining and resource sector and in particular, mineral exploration;
-
there being sufficient capital available to the Company to carry out its exploration and development plans, prior to the Company being in a position to generate income; and
Risk factors
The Company is exposed to a number of general market and economic risks, as well as a number of other risks which would generally be faced by all similar junior exploration entities. Although not exhaustive, the Company provided detailed disclosure of the risks affecting its activities in the Prospectus dated 26 May 2023, and provides below a summary of the key specific risks which affect the Company:
a. Exploration Risk
The long-term value of GDM will depend on its ability to find and develop resources that are economically recoverable within GDM’s licences. Mineral exploration and development is inherently highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. There is no guarantee that it will be economic to extract these resources or that there will be commercial opportunities available to monetise these resources. Until such time that the Company is able to realise value from its tenements, likely through mining, the Company is likely to continue to incur operating losses. Exploration risk, by nature, is not able to be fully mitigated however the Company has confidence in its existing projects and is supported by an experienced board and management team with experience in operating entities of a similar nature.
b. Land Access and Native Title
Land access is critical for exploration and evaluation to succeed. Access to land in Queensland for mining and exploration purposes can be affected by land ownership, including private (freehold) land, pastoral lease and regulatory requirements within the jurisdiction where the Company operates. Additionally, the tenements which the Company has an interest in, or will in the future acquire such an interest, may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company 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 Company continues to engage with all relevant landowners however inability to access land to conduct activities could impact the Company’s activities.
c. Financing
GDM has finite financial resources and, presently has no excess cash flow from producing assets. GDM’s ability to effectively implement its business strategy over time may depend in part on its ability to raise additional funds. There can be no assurance that any such equity or debt funding will be available to GDM on favourable terms or at all. Failure to obtain appropriate financing on a timely basis could cause GDM to have an impaired ability to expend the capital necessary to undertake or complete drilling programs, forfeit its interests in certain properties, and reduce or terminate its operations entirely. If GDM raises additional funds through the issue of equity securities, this may result in dilution to the existing shareholders and/or a change of control at GDM.
d. Tenement Commitments and Conditions
The Company’s current tenement suite is located in Queensland. Interests in tenements in Queensland are governed by the mining acts and regulations that are current in that jurisdiction and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in the Tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.
- the market price of gold and other target metals remaining higher than the Company’s costs of any future production (assuming successful exploration by the Company).

Risk factors (continued)
Matters subsequent to the end of the year (continued)
e. Key Personnel
The Company has a key team of executives and senior personnel to progress its development, exploration and evaluation programme, within the time frames and within the costs structure as currently envisaged. The timing and costs associated with this programme could be dramatically influenced by the loss of existing key personnel or a failure to secure and retain additional key personnel as the Company’s exploration and mining programme develops. The resulting impact from such loss would be dependent upon the quality and timing of the employee’s replacement.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
Other than the items discussed in the review of operations above, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the year.
Environmental Issues
The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in relation to its exploration activities. The Company is compliant with all aspects of these requirements. The Directors are not aware of any environmental law that is not being complied with.
New Accounting Standards Implemented
There were no new Accounting Standards adopted during the year.
Matters subsequent to the end of the year
Acquisition of Devils Mountain Gold Pty Ltd, Laura Exploration Pty Ltd, Muscovite Gold Exploration Pty Ltd and Queensland Ores Holdings Pty Ltd
On 16 August 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of Devils Mountain Gold Pty Ltd (DMG), Laura Exploration Pty Ltd (LE), Muscovite Gold Exploration Pty Ltd (MGE) and Queensland Ores Holdings Pty Ltd (QOH) (“the Acquisition”).
Under the terms of the Acquisition agreements with DMG, LE, MGE and QOH, upon listing on the ASX, the Company issued 1,375,000 Consideration Shares at A$0.20 per share (representing an acquisition value of $275,000) to purchase 100% of the issued shares in DMG, LE, MGE and QOH for $25,000, $50,000, $50,000, and $150,000 respectively.
Total estimated costs related to the Offer of $802,541 is inclusive of share-based payments of $267,300 and inclusive of non-recoverable GST. Based on the accounting treatment the total costs of the Offer are split between the costs of the listing on the ASX and the costs of raising capital.
In accordance with the terms of appointment, the Company, on Admission Date, issued 22,500 Payment Shares and 200,000 Director Shares to the combined value of $44,500 to the non-executive Director, Mr Simon Tolhurst
The Company issued 1,000,000 Lead Manager Options (“Lead Manager Options”), 500,000 Consultant Options (“Consultant Options”) and 1,200,000 Director Options (“Director Options”) vesting immediately on admission and exercisable at $0.40 with an expiry date that is 3 years from the Admission Date. The Options have been valued at $99,000, $49,500 and $118,800 respectively using the Black Scholes option pricing model and have been issued in part consideration for capital raising services provided to the Company.
The Company issued 2,000,000 Chief Executive Officer Options (“CEO Options”), which will be exercisable from the Admission Date at $0.20 on a pro rata basis over a two-year period while the CEO remains employed by the Company. The expiry date is 5 years. The CEO Options have been valued at $302,000 using the Black Scholes option pricing model.
In accordance with the terms of the Deed of Variation to the Loan Agreement between the Company and Westpearl Pty Ltd, the Company, on Admission Date, repaid the full amount drawn on the loan of $879,370 at the time of listing. The loan was repaid by:
-
a. Issued 1,750,000 Debt Conversion Shares to Westpearl Pty Ltd, a related entity of Director Paul Ryan, to convert the value of $350,000 of debt to equity.
-
b. Issued 2,500,000 Debt Conversion Options exercisable at $0.40 on or about 3 years from the date of issue.
-
c. Issued 2,641,050 Debt Conversion Options exercisable at $0.30 on or about 3 years from the date of issue.
-
d. Cash payment of $100,000
The Directors have determined that the Acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination under AASB 3 Business Combinations. Therefore, the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. Under the asset acquisition accounting policy adopted, the costs of the Acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values.
As a condition of the acquisitions by the Company, the shareholders of the DMG, LE, MGE and QOH forgave any outstanding loans payable to their related parties.
Listing on ASX
The Company was admitted to the Official List of ASX on Friday 25 August 2023.
The Company issued 25,000,000 new Shares at a price of $0.20 per share to raise $5,000,000 (before costs and expenses).

Note 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements cover Great Divide Mining Ltd (formerly All Metal Resources Limited) (the Company). Great Divide Mining Ltd is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia and is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
On 28 July 2022, the Company resolved to change the name of All Metal Resources Limited to Great Divide Mining Ltd.
a. Basis of Preparation
General purpose financial statements
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standard Board (AASB) and in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.
Except for the statement of cash flows, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 27 September 2023 by the Directors of the Company.
b. Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2023 the Company generated a loss of $850,454 and incurred net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $556,310. As at 30 June 2023 the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $8,940 and net liabilities of $971,251.
The Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern assumption will depend upon the Company being able to implement its strategy following the successful IPO to build shareholder value by acquiring, exploring and exploiting mineral resources within its Projects. Subsequent to year end the Company has been successful in implementing its strategy achieving the following actions:
-
The Company was admitted to the Official List of ASX on Friday 25 August 2023 and raised $5,000,000 by the issue of 25,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share.
-
The Company entered into an agreement with the principal funder of the Company preListing, Westpearl Pty Ltd, whereby their debt totaling $879,370 was repaid and the agreement terminated by issuing shares and options and by a cash repayment of $100,000.
The accompanying notes form part of these financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 30 June 2023
Note 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Note 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
b. Going Concern (continued)
-
The Company acquired 100% of the issued shares in shareholder related companies Devils Mountain Gold Pty Ltd, Laura Exploration Pty Ltd, Muscovite Gold Exploration Pty Ltd and Queensland Ores Holdings Pty Ltd each holding tenements of interest.
-
The Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern assumption will depend upon the Company being able to manage its liquidity requirement and by taking some or all of the following actions:
-
raising additional capital;
-
successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Company’s tenements; and
-
managing its working capital expenditure
After taking into account the current financial position of the Company, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to fund its future operational requirements and for these reasons they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial report.
Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In the longer term, the development of economically recoverable mineral deposits found on the Company’s existing or future exploration properties depends on the ability of the Company to obtain financing through equity financing, debt financing or other means. If the Company’s exploration programs are ultimately successful, additional funds will be required to develop the Company’s properties and to place them into commercial production. The ability of the Company to arrange such funding in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company.
c. Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include considering external and internal sources of information. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that Standard.
d. Financial Instruments (continued)
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, prices quoted in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.
e. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each separately identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward where the right of tenure for the area of interest is current and to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development and commercial exploitation of the area, or alternatively sale of the area, or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure assets acquired in a business combination are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, the exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining development.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against the result in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
d. Financial Instruments
Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (i.e. trade date accounting adopted).
f. Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables represent the recoverable amount of goods and services paid by the Company that are receivable at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognized as a current asset with the amounts normally received within 30 days of recognition of the asset.

Note 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Note 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
g. Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represents the amounts payable in the course of operations at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of liability.
h. Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
k. Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Provision is made for the Company’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.
The Company’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position.
i. Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the period comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liability balances during the period as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
j. Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders 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 any bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
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 financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
The Company’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and long service leave entitlements are recognised in leave entitlements in the statement of financial position.
Retirement benefit obligations
Defined contribution superannuation benefits
All employees of the Company receive defined contribution superannuation entitlements, for which the Company pays the fixed superannuation guarantee contribution (currently 10.5% of the employee’s average ordinary salary) to the employee’s superannuation fund of choice. All contributions in respect of employees’ defined contribution entitlements are recognised as an expense when they become payable. The Company’s obligation with respect to employees’ defined contribution entitlements is limited to its obligation for any unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions at the end of the reporting period. All obligations for unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities in the Company’s statement of financial position.
l. Share Based Payments
Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model or the prevailing market price for zero-priced options. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
m. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at end of the reporting period.

Note 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
n. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Note 2 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements 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.
o. Revenue and Other Income
Key Judgements:
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and recognised at the time where there is a change of control in the mineable product to the customer.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
p. Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
q. Current and Non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and noncurrent classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Company’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 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.
Share-based payment transactions
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled sharebased payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Company considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Note 3 Segment Information
During the period, the Company only had one Australian operating segment. The only geographic segment revenue during the period related to interest and other income and was generated solely by the Australian segment.
Note 4 Dividend
No dividend has been paid during the year ended 30 June 2023 (2022: nil) and none is proposed.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
r. Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs (net of tax where the deduction can be utilised) arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.
s. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
The Company 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.
t. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2023.

Note 15 Financial Risk Management (continued)
Credit Risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is their carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
Credit risk arises from exposures to deposits with financial institutions and sundry receivables.
Credit risk is managed and reviewed regularly by key executives. The key executives monitor credit risk by actively assessing the rating quality and liquidity of counter parties:
-
only banks and financial institutions with an ‘A’ rating are utilised; and
-
all other entities are rated for credit worthiness taking into account their size, market position and financial standing.

Note 23 Events Occurring after the Balance Sheet Date

1. First Annual Report as an ASX Listed Company
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF GREAT DIVIDE MINING LTD
Report on the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Great Divide Mining Ltd (the Company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion the financial report of Great Divide Mining Ltd is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
a) Giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the 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 (including Independence Standards) (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.
Why significant
This Annual Report relates to the year ended 30 June 2023, which was prior to the Company’s admission to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange and accordingly prior to the completion of the transactions set out in the IPO Prospectus, including the acquisition of the projects, and the completion of the IPO capital raising. During the year ended 30 June 2023, the Company’s sole activity was progressing towards an ASX Listing including completing the acquisition of the projects. As a result, the financial statements are not consolidated and not necessarily reflective of the Company’s post-listing position.
However, the financial report of the Company has been prepared as if the Company was a disclosing entity as at 30 June 2023 and in accordance with ASX Reporting requirements as the date of admission to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange was prior to the date of lodgement of the audited financial statements with ASIC and the ASX.
This is a key audit matter due to:
- the significance of the additional disclosure requirements for the Company when reporting as a listed public company compared with its status as an unlisted non disclosing public company as at 30 June 2023;
• the level of significant post balance date events disclosed in the financial statements in relation to transactions set out in the IPO Prospectus for the Company; and
- the level of initial judgement applied by management of the Company in determining the appropriate disclosure required in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including complying with Australian Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and ASX Reporting requirements.
The Annual Report of the Company as at 30 June 2023 includes the audited financial statements and directors report and other information required under Corporation Act 2001 requirements and ASX Reporting requirements.
Events occurring after the balance sheet date are reported in the Directors Report and in Note 23
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
To express an opinion on the financial statements as a whole our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:
-
To review disclosure against relevant accounting standards and Corporation Act 2001, Corporation Regulations 2001 and ASX Reporting requirements as appropriate to assess whether:
-
the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Corporations Act 2001 including complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 and
-
o the Annual Report including the Other Information in additional to the financial statements has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and ASX Reporting requirements and is not materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise does not appear to be materially misstated. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
-
Reviewing ASX announcements, minutes of meetings of Directors and holding discussions with the management to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence about whether events occurring between the date of the financial statements and the date of the auditor’s report that require adjustment of, or disclosure in, the financial statements are appropriately reflected in the Directors Report and in Note 23 of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
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.
Other Information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the consolidated entity’s Annual Report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
PKF Brisbane Pty Ltd is a member of PKF Global, the network of member firms of PKF International Limited, each of which is a separately owned legal entity and does not accept any responsibility or liability for the actions or inactions of any individual member or correspondent firm(s).

==> picture [107 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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.
Directors’ Responsibilities 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 consolidated entity’s ability 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 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 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 Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the company financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the company 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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30m June 2023. The Directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
