Company overview
The Company is seeking to become a diversified producer and developer of critical mineral concentrates to capitalise on the compelling market fundamentals for lithium and graphite.
The Group has interests in lithium projects, currently holding the Millie’s Reward spodumene project in Madagascar and has the right to earn up to 100% of the San Jorge Lithium Brine project in Argentina, a greenfields project in the prolific Lithium Triangle which accounts for over half of the world’s annual lithium production.
The Group is also a producer of industrial mineral concentrates from its 100% owned Graphmada Large Flake Graphite Mine. The Graphmada Mine Complex, which is located in Madagascar, has mining permits and landholder agreements in place. With all associated mining infrastructure and logistics in place, the mine produced and sold a range of graphite concentrates into multiple market segments during the 2020 financial year, and is currently under care and maintenance. Major markets for the Company included Europe under an offtake agreement, India, China and the United States.
Principal activities
The Company is a critical minerals business. It is developing the Graphmada Mining Complex in Eastern Madagascar and it is exploring for high-grade lithium mineralization at Millie’s Reward, also in Madagascar, and is commencing exploration at the San Jorge Lithium Brine Project in Argentina.
The principal activities of the Group during the year focused on the continued exploration and development of both lithium and graphite projects, and care and maintenance activities relating to its graphite mine.
Significant change in state of affairs
Changes to the Company’s state of affairs are described in the Review of Operations which follows.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Exploration and development - Lithium
During the prior year the Company acquired Andes Litio SA, an entity which has the option to acquire up to 100% of the San Jorge Lithium Brine Project located in Catamarca, Argentina. The San Jorge Project consists of 15 granted Exploration Licenses (EL’s) covering some 36,600 hectares inclusive of the San Francisco Salar.

HALF-YEAR REPORT For the period ended 31 December 2022
==> picture [104 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Exploration commenced during the period, and the initial work undertaken to date has been compelling, with extensive lithium mineralisation being encountered via surface sampling and an impressive basin depth identified using geophysics.
Planning of maiden drill program is ongoing as the Company awaits permitting approval. Three initial diamond holes to the bedrock depth (estimated to be around 400m) are planned, with the objective of confirming the lithium concentration and obtaining Initial Information about different types of host lithologies. Positive results from the maiden drill program would justify construction of access roads on to the salar to undertake resource drilling on a regular grid, which is currently planned as a follow up program to the initial program. Drilling and logistics contracts for the maiden drill program have been secured.
Concurrently to undertaking the drilling program the Company will also extract larger brine samples for processing evaluation. Evaluation of multiple Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies has taken place and this evaluation will continue as larger brine samples are obtained.
The Company also reviewed its Millie’s Reward lithium-in-spodumene project, with the intention to recommence field activities in the near term.
Exploration and development - Graphite
During the 2022 financial year, the Company’s ongoing exploration program yielding a material upgrade in JORC Code (2012) Mineral Resource for the Graphmada Mining Complex of 212% to 61.9 million tonnes (Mt) of large flake graphite at 4.5% Total Graphitic Carbon as outlined in the Mineral Resource update released on 12 July 2022.
The Company continues to explore and develop Graphmada for large-scale mining and processing operations along with progressing feasibility studies for the expansion of operations, with a key focus on reducing operating costs and growing production to meet market demand at the lowest possible capital intensity.
The Company has continued with an auger drilling program during the period. The aim of this drilling program is to assist in planning for a further diamond drilling program in the future and provide additional information for input into the Concept Study currently underway.
The Company notes a material increase in graphite concentrate prices in last quarter, with the price of the -100 mesh 94-95% FC contract enjoying a strong quarter with this contract achieving prices of US$813/t on a FOB (free on-board basis)[1] . This compares to a price of circa US$ 330/t FOB received by the Company for this concentrate specification in the last quarter of 2019 prior to placing the mine on care and maintenance.
This strengthening of graphite concentrates prices along with the growing Mineral Resource support the continued investment in this project. The Company is also actively looking for partners to advance the project.
Production - Graphite
Greenwing made the decision in December 2019, to suspend mining and front-end processing at Graphmada at the end of December 2019, given a forecast of above average anticipated rainfall over the monsoon season, of a similar quantum to the previous year. In March 2020 operations were suspended following Madagascar closing its borders due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The mine remains under care and maintenance.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. General information and statement of compliance
Greenwing Resources Ltd (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial report of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2022 comprises the Company and its controlled entities (together referred to as the “Consolidated Entity” or “Group”).
The consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars ($AUD), which is the functional currency of the Parent Company. The Company is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the interim financial report.
These general purpose interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2022 and any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and Corporations Act 2001.
The interim financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on 16 March 2023.
Except for cash flow information, 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.
2. Accounting Policies
The accounting policies and methods of computation applied by the Consolidated Entity in the consolidated interim financial report are the same as those applied by the Consolidated Entity in its consolidated financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2022, except for the adoption of new accounting standards as set out below.
New and revised standards
A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The impact of the adoption these standards did not have any significant impact on the group’s accounting policies and did not require retrospective adjustments.
Equity Accounted Investments
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The Consolidated Entity’s investment in its associate and joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Consolidated Entity’s share of net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture.
The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Consolidated Entity. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Consolidated Entity.
11
HALF-YEAR REPORT For the period ended 31 December 2022
==> picture [103 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
2. Accounting Policies (continued)
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value, and then recognises the loss in the profit or loss.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.
3. Significant events and transactions
During the six-month period ending 31 December 2022, the Company announced a strategic funding transaction with NIO Inc. (through its wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Northstar Limited) (NIO), enabling the Company to accelerate its exploration program at San Jorge Lithium Project in Catamarca province, Argentina and aligning NIO as the Company’s potential joint venture and offtake partner.
The key terms of the proposed transaction were as follows:
-
NIO agreed to pay AUD $12,000,000 to Greenwing to subscribe for 21,818,182 Greenwing shares at a deemed price of $0.55 per share (Placement) and a call option to acquire, at NIO’s election, between 20% and 40% of the issued capital of Andes Litio SA, which holds option rights over the San Jorge Lithium Project;
-
Upon completion of the Placement NIO will hold a shareholding of the Company of approximately 12.16% on a fully-diluted basis as of the date of issuance, and will have a right to a nominee on the board of the Company for so long as it continues to hold at least 10% of the shares;
-
The call option is exercisable within 365 days after a JORC report for the San Jorge Lithium Project has been issued or obtained (which is required by 31 December 2023), based on certain assumptions and outcomes being achieved, which, could result in an exercise price of between US$40,000,000 and US$80,000,000;
-

The transaction has provided the Company with additional working capital and provide funding to allow the Company to continue to develop its expansion plans and further, invest in additional capital and plant and equipment that is required for further expansion.
4. Going concern
The financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2022 has been prepared based on going concern, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
During the period, the Group reported a loss after tax of $3,030,969 (2021 loss for the period: $2,606,165). Net cash operating cash outflows for the period were $783,323 (2021 outflows for the period: $786,985). Prima facie these factors create a material uncertainty about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following:
-
the ability of the Group to raise sufficient additional capital in the future;
-
receipt of share capital proceeds from NIO, in accordance with the strategic funding transaction, as described in note 3;
-
its ability to achieve a financial return from its mining and exploration projects;
-
reducing its level of expenditure through farm outs or joint ventures; and
-
disposing of assets.
If the Group is unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and or settle its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report. The Directors will continue to monitor the capital requirements of the Group on a go forward basis and will include additional capital raisings in future periods as required.
5. Segment reporting
Management currently identifies three service lines as the Group’s operating segments. These operating segments are monitored by the Group’s chief operating decision maker and strategic decisions are made based on adjusted segment operating results. All inter-segment transfers are carried out at arm’s length prices.
The measurement policies the Group uses for segment reporting under the Accounting Standards are the same as those used in its financial statements, except expenses relating to discontinuing operations are not included in arriving at the operating loss of the operating segments. There have been no other changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine reported segment profit or loss.
The revenues and profit generated by each of the Group’s operating segments and segment assets and liabilities are summarised as follows:
| Other income From external customers From other segments Segment revenues Segment operating profit Segment assets Other assets not allocated Total assets |

8. Discontinued operations
The Company has signed an agreement to sell its Tasmanian exploration assets which is subject to a number of customary conditions for an agreement of this type. The disposal group was fully impaired during 2017 and is, therefore, carried at nil value having been recognised as Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Assets Held for Sale in the Statement of Financial Position. During the current and prior periods, care and maintenance expenses relating to the disposal group have been eliminated from profit or loss from the Group’s continuing operations and are shown as a single line item on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

A security deposit and guarantee of $500,000 is included as a non-current asset held for sale, classified as current on the statement of financial position. A provision for rehabilitation of $500,000 is included as a current liability directly associated with the security deposit and guarantee.

There is no dilutive potential for ordinary shares as the exercise of options to ordinary shares or conversion of convertible notes into ordinary shares would have the effect of decreasing the loss per ordinary share and would therefore be non-dilutive.

Note 1: As part of the strategic funding transaction with NIO Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary Blue Northstar Limited, the Company lost sole control of the relevant activities of Andes Litio SA on signing the subscription agreement in September 2022. Even though the Group retains 100% of the shares and voting rights, joint control exists as decisions about the relevant activities of the San Jorge Project require unanimous consent of the parties. The Company has deconsolidated its interest in Andes Litio SA from the date of signing the subscription agreement (as control was deemed to have been lost) and recognise its interest in Andes Litio SA as an interest in a jointly controlled entity and is accounted for under the equity accounting method.

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three-level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3
The $12,000,000 subscription from NIO comprises two components, namely:
-
An equity interest in Greenwing; and
-
A call option to acquire up to a 40% stake in Andes Litio SA (together with the offtake rights on the equity interest acquired in Andes Litio SA).
The NIO transaction was an arm’s length transaction between two willing parties. AASB 132 required the Company to account for of each of these components.
The fair value of the derivative liability - call option was assessed to be $6,000,000, and represents the premium agreed to be paid by NIO for the right to acquire up to a 40% stake in Andes Litio SA (and associated offtake rights). The residual amount to be paid by NIO of $6,000,000 has been recorded as equity (refer Note 19).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Greenwing Resources Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Greenwing Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 4 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
